Chapter 1005 The Unreliable Emperor I
Luo Ye is stunned!
Any information can be false, and this emperor's enthronement ceremony can also be false?
That's a big deal that the Cabinet has told the whole country!
It would be forgivable to say that the documents in the more remote places have not yet been delivered, but this is Kyoto!
When the Cabinet made this decision ten days ago, the whole of Kyoto knew about it.
The Regent is back!
He will be enthroned as emperor in Hanyuan Hall on the eighth day of November in the twenty-fifth year of Zhaohua!
This is no child's play!
Originally, Luo Ye didn't choose this day, after all, it was festive, and the old father died in Hanyuan Palace, which was really a bit unlucky.
He originally wanted to wait two days and then take his dying old father to see Li Chen'an, but the old father couldn't stand it.
It may be that the medicine is too strong, and it will not work when I see the old father.
He must come, otherwise the old father will swallow his breath, and he will come to ask the emperor for his guilt, and this crime will inevitably fall on him.
And the other reason why he had to come here at this moment was that he learned that Luo Sheng had not escaped from Kyoto that day!
Luo Sheng was captured by Jingzhao Mansion and sent to the prison of the Criminal Department to be secretly imprisoned!
This is enough to prove that Li Chenan already knew about the collusion between the Luo Guogong Mansion and the desolate people to smuggle smuggled salt!
He was terrified.
Luo Sheng didn't know many things, but Luo Sheng witnessed the attack on his old father that night.
I'm still too soft-hearted!
If it weren't for the fact that Luo Sheng's father died early, I hope to leave him a queen, Luo Sheng should have been killed that night!
This is the kindness of a woman!
also blamed himself for being careless, he didn't expect that Li Chen'an had already made many arrangements before he returned to Kyoto.
So, he asked Lao Liang to spend a lot of money to invite someone from the Privy Council of Yue Guo to rob the prison!
It's not to rescue Luo Sheng, but to kill Luo Sheng in prison!
As for how the group of people did it, he didn't know, but when Lao Liang came back, he said that the task had been completed, but something went wrong, and the head of the sixth young master could not be brought out.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did he quickly call the housekeeper to carry the sedan chair and quickly carry the old father who had only the last bit of air left into the palace.
Luo Sheng died, and Lao Liang also left Kyoto in disguise.
The people of Luo Mansion have also gone to various salt mines in the past two years, and the huge Luo Guo Mansion has long been deserted.
He can't go yet.
Those salt mines brought him riches that rivaled the riches of the country!
He was reluctant to let go.
In addition, the Dongqiao Island is like a bottomless pit, and they still need a lot of silver to build a warship!
He must continue to be in charge of the salt mines in his official capacity, and he must continue to provide a steady stream of silver to Dongli Island, waiting for the day when the warships of Dongli Island sail into the Yangtze River and break through the vast canal of Yu.
Today, Li Chen'an ascended the throne, even if he offended him, it would be difficult for him to surrender on this day.
So here he came.
He was extremely satisfied.
Especially the five heads that kowtowed...... The forehead is hot, and it must be red, and it must be red.
But he never expected that Li Chenan was not in this hall!
Is this a hundred bumps?
He was still kneeling on the ground and turned his head to look at Wen Boilyu, "Lord Wen...... Emperor...... Where? ”
Warm cooking rain is also very helpless!
He walked over and stood in front of the palanquin of Old Duke Luo, "I also want to know where the emperor is!" ”
After saying this, he leaned over, and Luo Lao Guogong opened his eyes with difficulty at this time.
His eyes had long since gone blank.
But at the moment when he saw the warm boiling rain, it suddenly brightened a little.
It's like the sparkle of a candle.
There seemed to be a "poof", and it quickly dimmed again.
"Ah...... Yes...... Yikes...... Ah......h
A low voice struggled to flow through his throat, and he wanted to say something but couldn't say a word.
Warm boiling rain frowned slightly.
In fact, the results of the Criminal Department's interrogation of Luo Sheng had already come out, but Li Chen'an meant not to move Luo Ye for the time being.
Li Chenan said that the salt merchants and salt gangs in the Northern Desert Province only listen to the orders of one person!
They called that man old man!
No one knows who the old man is.
Li Chenan suspected that it was Luo Laoguogong, because he was really old, and because he knew the five major salt farms of Ningguo best.
But Wen Boilyu once told Li Chenan that it was unlikely that Luo Laoguo Gong was impossible, although he had colluded with Ji Tai, but that was to stabilize his position in Luo Guogong's mansion.
If it is said that he colluded with the desolate people...... This kind of thing of betraying the country is probably still impossible for Luo Laoguo to do.
So who will the old man be?
Wen Zhuanyu turned his head to look at Luo Ye, "The emperor has something to do and can't go to court early, Luo Laoguo wants to see the emperor...... His thoughts, as well as yours, I will tell the emperor. ”
"Let's take the old man back to his house, let him go more comfortably."
As soon as Wen Zhuyu's voice fell, a loud roar came from outside:
"The emperor has arrived at ......!"
At this moment, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty turned their heads to look at the door, and they were suddenly taken aback again-
Li Chenan walked in in full view of everyone.
But he didn't wear that dragon robe!
He was wearing a cyan robe and five girls!
The five girls did not set foot in the Hanyuan Palace, they stood at the door for a few breaths, and then turned to leave.
Ning Chuchu led them to the harem.
Li Chenan walked into the main hall without paying attention, and his eyes fell on the sedan chair.
He also leaned down and looked at Luo Lao Guogong carefully, and Luo Lao Guogong's cloudy eyes bloomed with some light at this time.
He tried to raise his hand, but couldn't.
He couldn't say a word about what he wanted to say.
There was urgency in his eyes, but he couldn't express it.
He was in a hurry, his mouth opened in this hurry, and his eyes slowly closed before he took a breath.
Li Chenan reached out and touched Luo Lao Guogong's neck, and sighed after a while:
"Gone!"
He turned to look at the ministers, "I ......"
Wen Zhuyu hurriedly whispered: "Your Majesty, you should call yourself me!" ”
"Ah, I...... Seeing that the old man was so loyal, he was extremely emotional. ”
"The old prince worked hard, and when he was young, he wore battle armor, carried a long sword, and rode a horse to defend the country."
"When I returned to Kyoto in middle age, I could have been comfortable for a lifetime, but I was in charge of the five major salt farms in Ningning, so I ...... It has put a lot of effort into paying a lot of taxes for the country. ”
Li Chenan said this, and walked over to Luo Ye, who was still kneeling on the ground.
"The spirit of the old man for the country is worth learning from all of us!"
"Lao Guogong is an upright man and an example to all of us!"
"Luo Ye ......"
"The minister is here!"
"Take the old Guogong back to be buried, he is already a very human minister, and I can't seal it anymore, although Luo Guogong is gone, but Luo's mansion is ......"
He bent down and helped Luo Ye up.
Looking at the blood on Luo Ye's forehead, he said seriously:
"Part of Ningguo's salt industry will be handed over to you to take care of!"
When Luo Ye heard this, his heart was stunned, because Li Chenan was talking about part of the salt industry!
Patting Luo Ye's shoulder, Li Chenan turned around and walked towards the dragon platform.
"You must know very well how important the salt tax is to the country."
"You...... After all, you are still younger, and you are not as stable as the old Guogong, so you should take care of the salt works in Yanzhou first, and the rest will be ...... I have other arrangements. ”
Standing on the stage, Li Chenan looked at Luo Ye again and smiled slightly:
"I know it's tiring!"
"Luo Qing needs to take care of the funeral affairs of the old father, according to the etiquette system, Luo Qing will keep filial piety for three years."
"The state now needs a lot of tax silver, and the salt works can't be scrapped because of this,"
When Luo Ye heard this, his heart was cold.
He raised his head and hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty...... Didn't you, didn't you say before that you wanted to abolish bad habits and abolish worries? ”
Li Chenan smiled slightly and sat on the dragon chair.
The dragon chair is really a bit wide, and it is very hard to sit on, so you have to get a cushion another day.
But it's a good feeling to sit on it and look down on people.
He looked at Luo Ye again, and raised his eyebrows: "I, I have changed my mind!" ”
"Okay?"
