Chapter 211 Worrying
The prince did not expect that the father and emperor knew everything clearly.
He wanted to win over the Lin family in private, and while Ge died of illness, he explained to the Empress Dowager that he wanted to take the daughter of the Lin family as his second wife. Not only did the Empress Dowager not agree, but he quickly gave Chang Ning to Li.
When Chang Ning died, he was so scared that he had not recovered for several days, for fear that the emperor would be implicated by the Lin family.
"Father, it's all the fault of the sons." The prince immediately knelt down.
When the emperor saw the prince's trembling appearance, he could no longer help but be angry. He stood up and kicked the prince in front of him. The prince couldn't help but scream in pain.
The emperor widened his eyes for something unpromising: "You are worthy of being my son."
No matter how ridiculous Ran Liu was, he dared to speak in the hall and dared to invite him to go to the frontier to fight. However, this coward dared not do anything. In the future, the Wu Dynasty's country would be handed over to him.
The earth-shaking farce that brought the capital together was finally pursued. The culprit was not the dandy who had been beaten to the point of being blue and swollen, but his son, the prince of the Wu Dynasty.
He can't embarrass this.
The emperor looked at the prince coldly: "Go and find out if there is enough food in the north to deal with the war. If you can't figure it out, you, the prince, should let the virtuous!"
The prince's hair was standing up all over his body, and such a trivial matter would even threaten his position as prince.
"Get out." The emperor shouted sternly.
The prince did not dare to say anything more and could only say, "Don't calm down, my son will definitely find out the truth."
The prince walked out of the hall and saw the King of Jin standing outside waiting for summons. The prince's eyelids suddenly jumped. Maybe all of this was arranged by the King of Jin.
Zhao Mingjing stepped forward and saluted: "Crown Prince."
The prince said lightly: "It's so late, my third brother is still waiting here."
Zhao Mingjing said: "Two hours ago, my father told me to come here, but I have not summoned me."
The prince said, "The Father probably forgot. I would have reminded him if I had known," he paused on purpose, "It's cold, my third brother should pay attention to his health to avoid getting cold." After that, he walked straight forward.
Zhao Mingjing looked in the direction of the prince's disappearance. It was obvious that someone wanted to use the prince's hands to deal with Chengen Duke, the Ran family and the Lin family, and mentioned him by the way.
"Mr. Li," the eunuch stepped forward and said, "The emperor has uploaded you."
Zhao Mingjing turned around and happened to see Li Yong.
Li Yong, the Li family promoted by his father, had someone ask him to inquire about it. In recent years, Li Yong joined the army in Pinglu. Not only was he the most capable general around General Cui, but he was still quite famous in the northern border after several wars. It was understandable that his father wanted to use him.
Another figure of someone appeared in Zhao Mingjing's mind.
Ji Yanran, who had tried her best to marry Li Yong, seemed to have made Li Yong admit this marriage, not only that, but also Li Yue's care.
He didn't see that Ji Yanran had the ability to fight Jiang Jinyu. Did she deliberately pretend to be in front of him or did she really lose her previous memory?
Li Yong entered the hall and the emperor was reading the memorial. He waited quietly for a while before he heard the emperor say, "Do you know what the crime of deceiving the king should be?"
Li Yong bowed and said, "I know."
He is not panicked, neither humble nor arrogant, standing there is like a bright moon shining, which makes people feel a little more trust in him.
The emperor threw the memorial in his hand on the table. It was because of this that he was deceived by Li Yong. Thinking of this, his anger in his heart was even more difficult to suppress, and he wanted to take Li Yong down immediately.
He wants to know the truth more than killing people.
The emperor said, "Do you have nothing to report to me?"
Li Yong thought for a moment before saying, "The emperor wants to ask about the northern border, right? Hedong Road, Pinglu, and Hebei Road will move the whole body..."
"I'm still going around with me," Emperor Li looked at Li Yong, "I personally overturned the case for your Li family, and also mentioned that you have become the lieutenant of the cavalry. This is how you repay me, hiding the court's repeated offense... so brave."
Li Yong heard this and saw a hint of surprise flashing on his face, but he quickly returned to normal. He did not kneel down but bent down and said, "Your Majesty, I have no choice."
The emperor said: "There is no choice? What else can your Li family do besides deceiving the king and the emperor?" What is the difference between Li Yong and Li Yue back then.
Long Yan was furious, and the palace ladies in the hall knelt down tremblingly.
Li Yong still stood there: "When Weichen heard that Ji Yuanheng escaped from the exile, he also wanted to send him back without knowing it, so that he could avoid the disaster of the Ji family and the Li family. Although Weichen and Huo Qiang couple had a deep affection, Ji Yuanheng's move was a dead chess. Why should Weichen accompany him to commit crimes at the cost of the entire Li family?"
"Ji Yuanheng escaped from the exile, but no official report was reported to the capital. Officials from the Hebei Road Military Preparation Department also went to Beijing privately. It can be seen that some officials in Hebei Road were worried about insufficient military rations and wanted to find another way to turn the situation around.
It just so happened that Ji Yuanheng was the most open to the canal waters and once collected grain from Jiangnan with Lord Ji Chengen. It was no coincidence that Ji Yuanheng entered the capital at this time, but had to do it. The emperor also knew about Ji Yuanheng's ability. He submitted a memorial to request the clearance of the canal, and the emperor ordered the construction of five hundred large ships."
When the emperor mentioned these five hundred large ships, the emperor's face looked even more ugly.
The emperor said coldly: "This boat can be launched, but it is impossible to pass through the food. It is still abandoned on the side. This is another charge for the Ji family father and son."
Li Yong said: "As long as the emperor gives Ji Yuanheng another chance, he will definitely be able to deliver food from the south to the capital. Ji Yuanheng concluded that it will rain heavily in the south this year, and the river will be wide enough to pass by large ships."
"Why do I give him this opportunity?" the emperor looked angry. "The criminal who fled from the exile, neither I nor the law of the Wu Dynasty, would not allow him, including you."
"Emperor, Hebei Road can leave the Wu Dynasty to the east or north. Whether it is the Turks or Goguryeo, they snatch the people on the frontier because those foreigners cannot farm," Li Yong said as he took out a booklet from his sleeve. "This is the people he rescued every year when he was in Pinglu. These people are all in the households. As for those refugees, they will only stay in the Turks, because they will not have any land to farm when they returned to the Wu Dynasty.
Three or four out of ten prisoners who were exiled on the frontier every year. Some of these people escaped from the foreign country. Why did the Ji family really want to escape because they wanted to escape? Returning to the capital would inevitably be a dead end. After the Ji family escaped, the officials in the exiled area would only regard them as dying of illness and reported to the court, and would not implicate relatives and friends. They did not do this because they did not want to escape at all.
They were going to come back and finish the work for the court, and to see the situation of the big ship entering the capital, perhaps this time it could turn the situation around for the Wu Dynasty.
The emperor can kill Weichen and others at any time. Whether it is the Ji family or the Li family, they are in the capital. The emperor ordered people to be killed in a blink of an eye, to clear the canal and transport grain into the capital, but it is necessary for the Ji family father and son to do so."
The emperor's face looked gloomy and unstable: "Why should I believe you?"
Li Yong raised his head and said, "With the head of the Wei minister Xiang, no one knows that Ji Yuanheng is going to the south. If the court cannot use grain, the emperor will punish Wei ministers for death at any time. If the court uses grain, the Ji family cannot deliver the grain to the capital, and Wei ministers and others will still be a death sentence."
The emperor looked at Li Yong and suddenly said, "I will convict you of death now."
A ray of sunshine in the early morning shone through the window. Li Yong lifted his robe, and the silver edges outlined by the silver thread seemed to shine: "I accept the order."
"Come," said the emperor, "take Li Yong down..."
After the gloomy sound, the two guards walked in.
...
Ji Yanran was worried. Even though she was in the prison of Dali Temple, she had never been so panicked when facing Jiang Chi. It seemed particularly difficult to bear this night, and she had no sleepiness when she opened her eyes.
She would think that the little bit of turmoil in the yard was Li Yong back.
If she had known today, she would have divorced him decisively earlier, and she would have been spared from worrying about it.
