Chapter 11 What is the human heart?
"........." Li Si was silent.
He really couldn't imagine that Li Yang would be so moralistic.
Li Si asked himself, if this matter was his own, he would definitely run for his life immediately, where would he still have the heart to care about the life and death of others at that time.
I have to admit that this is indeed admirable.
After hesitating for a long time, Li Si sighed: "However, you also know that he has a different political opinion from his father, you call him to protect him, do you know what it means?"
Li You nodded and said, "The child naturally understands, but I want to ask my father, do you really think the emperor will kill Li Zhongcheng?"
Li Si was stunned, pondered for a while, and then said: "Even if you don't kill, this prime minister will definitely not be able to be, and this new law will not be changed."
"Father also thinks that the emperor is unlikely to kill him?"
Without waiting for Li Si to answer, Li You continued: "Li Zhongcheng saved His Majesty's life, and was even regarded by His Majesty as his auspicious star blessing, killing Jixing, Your Majesty must feel that the implication is unlucky, and I heard that His Royal Highness Fusu is back." His Royal Highness Fusu was recalled by escorting Li Zhongcheng to offer medicine, and His Royal Highness Fusu has always wanted to be benevolent, Li Zhongcheng's new law will be appreciated by His Royal Highness Fusu, and he is sure that His Royal Highness Fusu will definitely intercede for Li Zhongyu, even if it is Li this time
Zhongcheng was ousted, and the day when His Royal Highness Fu Su ascended the throne was the time when Li Zhongcheng was reused. ”
"Father, your intercession for Li Zhongcheng tomorrow is not only to fulfill the child's request, but also to help His Royal Highness Su, and it is also a great favor to Li Zhongcheng, doesn't my father think this is not good?"
"Moreover, the child knows that he is helpless and the Son of Heaven has the ability to manage all opportunities, and his father will grow old in the future, to tell the truth, if there is no one in the court to take care of him, and the child stays in the court and is excluded by the Meng and Feng families, I might as well go back to my hometown with my father as soon as possible and settle alone."
Li You told all the thoughts in his heart.
The meaning is also very clear, you can't stay in the court for a few years, if you leave, I will count on Li Zhongcheng to take care of it, if Li Zhongcheng is killed, in the future, this court will be the world of the Meng and Feng families, and the Li family will be bullied.
".........." Li Si was stunned again.
Again, I asked myself, is this still my son?
Grown up, my son has finally grown up!
Li Si was excited in his heart, looked at his son in front of him, and burst into tears for a while.
He found that Li You now saw things more comprehensively and thoroughly than him.
Yes, he is also old, and his son's road is still long, and he has been opposed to the Meng and Feng families all these years. When he is gone, he may not be able to survive his son.
Thinking of this, he is both worried and happy, worried about his son's future, and happy that his son has grown up and is sensible.
At that moment, Li Si nodded again and again: "Bao, what my son said makes sense, Li Yang must be protected!" must be protected, he can't keep his position as prime minister, and he also swears to protect this person's life. ”
When Li You heard this, he was overjoyed: "Thank you, father!"
Today, Li Yang washed up, ate the breakfast prepared by his own chef early, and then went out in a "luxury car" pulled by four horses......
Yesterday was the first day of the implementation of the new law, and the emperor of the early dynasty would definitely inquire about the new law today, so Li Yang did not dare to slack off.
After entering the palace, I got out of the car and walked towards the Qilin Palace.
When he walked outside the Qilin Palace, he met Li You, who was waiting anxiously here.
Li Yang smiled and asked, "General Li, why is you alone outside the palace?"
Li You saw that Li Yang could still laugh, and couldn't help but be more anxious, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lord Zhongcheng, you ...... Aren't you worried at all?"
Li Yang was stunned: "What should I worry about?" Did something happen?"
Li You glanced at Li Yang stupidly, thinking that this Li Zhongyu's heart is too big! Hurriedly said: "My lord, the "Public Law" you issued yesterday has many crimes against the monarch, and now the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty know that the emperor will condemn the adult, and the adult still doesn't know about it?"
Li Yang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Do they really think so?" Do you think the emperor will condemn me?"
"........." Li You has an urge to die, is this Li Zhongyu pretending to be confused? Or is it really too self-righteous as everyone says? At this time, I still don't know anything.
Sighing, Li You smiled bitterly: "The "Public Law" compiled by the adults is not only committed, but also lightly requisitioned, which is tantamount to stopping several projects that His Majesty cares about the most, which is ..... This will surely wrath your Majesty and bring it upon you. ”
"However, don't worry too much, I have already told my father yesterday that today in the court, if Your Majesty condemns you, he will intercede for you, although this phase is unable to be saved, but your life should be worry-free."
Li You finished speaking anxiously, and finally didn't forget to comfort Li Yang.
Seeing Li You's anxious appearance, Li Yang felt a lot of warmth in his heart. The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all thought that he would be condemned by the emperor today, but only Li You was the only one who told him about this outside the palace, which shows that Li You really cared about his safety. What's more, when he was assassinated yesterday, Li You also tried to protect him desperately.
This made Li Yang quite surprised by Li You.
You must know that his own appearance can be said to be the most damaging to Li Si's interests among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. Not only did he abolish his perfect laws, but he also denied his previous policies of governing the country, and even took away the emperor's favor from him.
As the saying goes, father and son have one heart, who would have thought that this Li Si's son would try his best to protect himself?
What surprised Li Yang even more was that now that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty thought that they were going to be punished, the position of the prime minister must be unsafe, Li Si should be the happiest at this time, but he didn't fall into the well at this time, but had to intercede for himself?
This really made Li Yang feel extremely surprised and surprised.
In his opinion, if he has something, the first one who will stand up to protect himself should be the Meng and Feng families, after all, the concept of governing the country is the same, and he is also on the side of Fusu, after all, it was Fusu and Meng Tian who sent someone to escort him over to offer medicine, and he can be regarded as his own person.
Now it seems....... It's thinking too much!
Li Yang laughed self-deprecatingly in his heart, shook his head, and felt a little sad in his heart, and felt that he was still too naïve and naïve.
But...... This is also a lesson for myself. Know what kind of people are trustworthy, and what people are friends of interests, not worthy of deep friendship.
"Don't give up on yourself! Although your lord's new law is contrary to Your Majesty's intentions, your subordinates guess that the new law must have won the heart of His Royal Highness Fusu. As long as your Excellency stays alive today, when His Royal Highness Fusu rules the world, it will be the day when your Excellency will regain power. ”
Seeing Li Yang laughing at himself and smiling bitterly, Li You thought that Li Yang was secretly desperate, so he hurriedly comforted and cheered him up.
Li Yang was even more moved, looked at Li You, and couldn't help but smile: "General Li doesn't have to worry about the prime minister, I can tell me very clearly that the prime minister is okay today."
"What?" Li You didn't believe it, and said curiously: "Your Excellency's "Public Law" is considered by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to make Your Majesty thunderous, how can your Excellency think that it is okay?"
Li Yang smiled: "I know that you kid doesn't believe it, but you're about to go to court, and then you will know if there will be anything wrong with your appearance." And ....."
"And what?" Li You asked curiously.
"Moreover, if you protected me yesterday, maybe the emperor will reward you when he is happy. Haha......" Li Yang smiled mysteriously.
"This ......" Li Youmeng was completely messy, his mind was completely messy.
I thought that Li Yang would be extremely worried and frightened, but ......
It's not what you imagined!
.........
In the Qilin Palace, the civil and military officials have already arrived, and everyone knows that something big will happen today, so everyone is invariably earlier than in the past.
At this time, the Qilin Hall seemed a little noisy, and everyone was whispering about the "Public Law" issued by Li Yang.
Some people are sitting on pins and needles, flustered, and some people are happy in their hearts, waiting to see a good show
After all, from ancient times to the present, there has always been no shortage of people who can't see the good of others.
When Li Yang first entered the court, he worshiped the position of the prime minister of a country, and even opened the government to change the law, which will make some people jealous, after all, some people were born and died for Daqin, or mixed all their lives, but they have not been able to be so reused by the emperor, you are a kid who has not grown hair, why? Just rely on your three-inch incorruptible tongue to boast of your ability to rule the world?
No theory of statecraft can convince everyone until it has been proven correct in practice.
Now, Li Yang's new "Public Law" decree has made everyone realize that he is going to be finished.
Aren't you very good at blowing? Aren't you very bullish? Look at what you can, isn't this just the first day of taking office, and you have to capsize?
The people of the temple have their own thoughts.
I only heard that at this time, there was a person surnamed Liu who said: "What did I say at the beginning, our prime minister, he is just a good mouthful, selling himself and boasting, that day, he praised himself to the sky." What kind of ability to rule the world, in my opinion, this person is too arrogant, otherwise he would not dare to issue such a new law that violates the king!"
A doctor replied: "What Liu Yiyun said is very true, that day the old man also saw that this person was extremely boastful, claiming to be a fairy disciple, and he also compared himself to Guiguzi, this person is indeed too frivolous."
"Isn't it, I've never seen such a frivolous person! Now to do such a deed-rebellious thing, it can be said that he deserves it. Another middle doctor looked indignant, and was very unhappy with Li Yang's words and deeds in the palace that day.
Liu Yiyun said indignantly: "Li Yang, even if he is punished by the Nine Clans, it is also his own fault, but the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Imperial Lieutenant Office were miserably pitted by him this time, and I am afraid that they will be deeply implicated today."
Everyone nodded, and the righteous doctor before said to Meng Yi and Feng Zheng: "Lord Meng, Lord Feng, we will definitely speak for Yu Shitai and Tingwei."
Everyone once again expressed their attitudes: "That's right, we all speak for Yu Shitai and Tingwei!"
Meng and Feng, together with the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Imperial Lieutenant Bureau, hurriedly bowed to everyone: "Thank you!"
At this moment, the palace gate reported in the voice of the male duck: "Li Zhongcheng has arrived!"
With this announcement, there was a sudden silence in the hall, and then everyone looked towards the door of the hall together......
Li Yang got up early today, but he deliberately dressed up, after all, this is the first time he has been to the early court since he opened the mansion as prime minister, so today he is wearing a high mountain crown, wearing court clothes, and wearing a ribbon, which is very formal.
With the news from the palace gate, Li Yang strode into the Qilin Palace, followed by Li You, a central protector under the command of Yulin, who looked like a cow was broken.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by the court clothes on Li Yang's body, and the Qin system stipulated that black was the highest color of clothes, so Qin Shi Huang wore black court clothes. It is also stipulated that officials above the third rank wear green robes, and ordinary people wear white robes.
Although the court clothes on Li Yang's body are green, they are embroidered with black lace on the cuffs and placket. Therefore, he was wearing a black lace court robe, and among the green robes and green robes of the court, he naturally looked very spicy.
Of course, Li Yang's embroidered black lace court dress is also the honor that Yingzheng relied on him to show his attention, and on the day of the opening of the mansion yesterday, he specially bestowed on him.
However, what Li Yang didn't know was that this black lace court dress was only worn on the day of the opening of the mansion, and there was no need to deliberately make himself appear more noble than others when he went to the court on weekdays.
But Li Yang doesn't understand, who called him a traverser?
Since the emperor sent Zhao Gao to the court clothes yesterday, this court dress has lace, which is much more pleasing to the eye than the green robe, of course it looks good to wear.
It's just that when he walked into the hall in this dress, it made more people look at him with disdain.
Although you don't have your black lace court dress, although you were very favored by the emperor before today, but now that you are about to finish, what do you have to worry about?
Therefore, when the people saw his self-righteous and deteriorating appearance, they all despised him in their hearts.
But fortunately, Li Yang's frivolous reputation has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so although everyone despises it in their hearts, everyone thinks that it is normal for him to wear this court dress in the early dynasty, which is his style.
Li Yang is not a stupid person, and as soon as he entered the hall, he naturally felt that today was not as good as before, because no one flattered him today.
It seems that Li You is right, these fools really think that today's official is the end of the day.
Thinking of this, Li Yang cursed in his heart, then smiled and said, "You guys came early!"
Everyone also smirked and arched their hands: "Lord Zhongcheng is early!"
Then, everyone felt that they had given up a spacious road, allowing Li Yang to pass proudly, and finally stood in front of the hundred officials, and it was also the most central, because he was the prime minister.
Li Yang stood in the center, and arched his hand to the two prime ministers on the left and right with a smile: "Feng Xiang, Li Xiangzao!"
Feng Quji and Li Si also hurriedly arched their hands and said early.
It's just that at this time, the two of them seem to be a little smiling, as if their minds are not on greeting.
Feng Qujian was thinking, this guy seemed to be really stupid, even the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty knew that he was about to come in a catastrophe, and he himself didn't know anything, so he couldn't help but wonder if he should remind him.
And Li Si saw that Li Yang was still smiling at this time, as if he was nothing, but there were some monks who were two years old, confused, and felt a little incomprehensible.
I was very puzzled, so I looked back at Li You, who was standing behind the column, but saw that his son had a blank expression at this time.
Didn't his own son tell him that there was going to be a big trouble today?
Li Si was a little confused, and was about to remind Li Yang, when he suddenly heard a voice "The emperor is coming!"
, and then saw the first emperor walk in from the apse, followed by Zhao Gao and Fusu, the son who had just returned to the dynasty.
When the first emperor sat down, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty bowed their hands together: "The emperor is ten thousand years, and the Qin country is ten thousand years."
The first emperor Yingzheng stretched out his hand, and everyone immediately consciously lined up left and right.
There was silence in the hall, and everyone held their breath, waiting to meet the emperor's wrath.
But.....
What they waited for was that they saw the emperor get up and walk down directly, and came straight to Li Yang, with an extremely concerned look, and asked with concern: "Zhongcheng, I heard that the remnants of the Chu State assassinated you yesterday, but were you injured?"
"............" Everyone was stunned, you look at me, I look at you, the civil and military faces of the Manchu Dynasty were shy.
This is...... What's the situation?
Why didn't the emperor get angry, and still cared so much about this person.....
Could it be ......... The emperor still doesn't know the content of the "Public Law" issued by this guy?
Being so concerned by the emperor, Li Yang was also very moved, and replied: "Your Majesty Xie cares, yesterday fortunately, General Li desperately protected him, and the people protected the law, but the minister was not injured."
