The whole Jingcheng City knew about Li Wenchong's frequent trips to the Inner Government Office to be the Chief of Ceremonies, and many people secretly laughed at him.
Especially the tenth prince, he even went to Jinjun Prince's Mansion and muttered to the second prince brother Li Jin: "You think this little prince uncle is not funny? He doesn't want to marry a nice young girl, but he wants to marry an old woman."
, the smell on this old woman’s body is so strong, I don’t know how he can swallow it..."
Prince Jin glared at him: "You dare to say anything, but what if word gets out? Isn't it enough that the little emperor slapped you last time?"
The Nineteenth Prince curled his lips with an unhappy look on his face: "Aside from complaining to my father and slapping me, what else will he do? What's so great about him? Isn't he just an emperor's brother? Wait for the second emperor brother.
From now on... Humph! Who dares to hit me Gardenia when I see it?"
Prince Jin: "..."
Turning around, the Nineteenth Prince talked about how several of his nephews were studying in the study room.
It’s quite funny to say that the boy from the Emperor’s brother’s family only knows how to eat all day long and can’t even recite “Hundred Family Surnames”.
I opened my mouth and recited a recipe to my father, who almost died of anger.
"I don't know how the eldest brother raised his eldest son, but he raised him to death." The Nineteenth Prince said in a funny voice, "I think this kid will be a foodie from now on."
The Prince of Jin County was very happy. Of course he wished that the eldest son of the eldest prince's house was abandoned, but he still said: "I am still young. It will be fine when I get older."
"What? You look old at the age of three. Li An has been like this since he was a child. How can he be better when he grows up? I see that Li Yan is much better than him." The Nineteenth Prince said, "My nephew Li Yan is in the study.
That is someone who is often praised by my husband. My father has rewarded Li Yan with many things."
King Jin was happy when he heard someone praising his son. His only regret was that his legitimate son Li Yan was born one day later than his brother Li Zhen, so the good eldest son became the second son.
The matter of the concubine's eldest son became a pain in the heart of the King of Jin County.
He knew very well that Emperor Mingguang had no legitimate son, so he always wanted to choose a son with a legitimate grandson to inherit the position.
He had such a disadvantage. Although he would not be directly deprived of the opportunity, it also gave Emperor Mingguang a bad impression and made him less perfect.
Prince Jin has always wanted to be a perfect son, but since meeting the Yao family, he seems...
The shortcomings are exposed again and again, and it is no longer perfect.
Thinking about it, Prince Jin hates the Yao family even more.
The two talked for a while, and then the Nineteenth Prince staggered out of the Jinjun Prince's Mansion and returned to the palace.
As soon as he entered the palace gate, Emperor Mingguang received the news. He said with an indifferent expression: "Well, I understand, please step back."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
…
In the capital, there were faint rumors that Li Wenchong was eager to get married and was urging the ceremonial supervisor of the inner government Yamen to get married.
There are various theories based on speculation.
Some of them are particularly unpleasant. The idea that Li Wenchong has all kinds of weird ways and likes old women has once again come to mind.
Emperor Mingguang was very angry when he heard this, and secretly cursed the King of Jin County for not being a thing. Even if he had conflicts with Li Wenchong again, he should not use such dirty methods to deal with his own uncle.
The King of Jinjun cannot tolerate Li Wenchong now. One day he will realize that if the King of Jinjun really comes to power, will he be able to tolerate Li Wenchong?
Emperor Mingguang frowned, worried.
Originally, among the several princes, Emperor Mingguang was indeed very optimistic about Prince Jin, who was capable, thoughtful, and cold-blooded.
As an emperor, your bones should not be too soft, and you should not have too much Bodhisattva spirit. You must have means to deal with the subordinates who are more thoughtful than a sieve. However, if an emperor does not think about balancing these subordinates all day long,
The relationship between the emperor and the emperor did not make good use of them, but used some underhanded means to "seek personal revenge". How can such an emperor manage the world well?
The emperor is also a human being, and it is impossible to grasp everything in his hands and do it personally.
In this case, we must "employ people".
But if you don’t even trust your own clan members, how can you trust your officials?
Even if the emperor is alone, he still needs someone to help him.
This is also the reason why the King of Jin County has been losing points in Emperor Mingguang's heart recently. He really cannot tolerate Li Wenchong.
Emperor Mingguang didn't understand, why did Li Wenchong hinder the King of Jin County?
Li Wenchong is destined to have no descendants and is a lone star in the sky. Even if such a person is a little more arrogant, it will be okay, because no matter how arrogant he is, he will not rebel.
Such a person can be a "knife" or a strong royal barrier.
Emperor Mingguang was somewhat disappointed with the vision of Prince Jin.
Emperor Mingguang personally arranged for people to suppress such gossip.
The Nineteenth Prince was angry for a moment. He had arranged for so many people to speak ill of the little Emperor's uncle. Why did he disappear without a trace when he got to the back?
what happened?
Uncle Xiao Huang is so powerful, why can't he even get some gossip out?
The Nineteenth Prince wanted to take action again, but because Emperor Mingguang did a spot check and failed the exam, he was placed in solitary confinement.
The Nineteenth Prince was so angry that he was already in solitary confinement before he caused any trouble to the little uncle?!
Arrange a personal eunuch and hand over the task. No matter what, you must make the little emperor's uncle miserable.
The letter that was sent out was blocked by Emperor Mingguang.
But Emperor Mingguang didn't expect that this matter would still reach Li Wenchong's ears, because... someone actually invited Li Wenchong to drink, and arranged a few charming old ladies during the banquet to arrange for Li Wenchong.
Li Wenchong was greatly frightened and became furious on the spot.
Within a few days, the official was found to have bad moral character, kept an extramarital affair, and allowed his son to hurt others. The official was brought to the attention of Emperor Mingguang. He was immediately fired from the official position and sent to prison.
For a time, there was a huge buzz in the capital, and no one dared to touch Li Wenchong's brow.
"What do you mean? Didn't you say that Prince Chong likes old women? This week, Master Zhou...why are you still stuck in it?"
"You're stupid! Everyone is just talking about it, who is really stupid enough to do it? It's too late for people to cover up such a shameful thing, and they still let you know? You're sending people away so openly, you're not slapping them in the face
?"
"That man personally decreed the marriage. Now that the whole world knows it, what is there to hide? Now even a three-year-old child knows that Prince Chong likes old women."
"..."
…
Li Wenchong was really not angry. From the day he chose to marry Gu Qingling, he had been mentally prepared.
But, he didn't expect that someone would dare to actually lead someone to him?!
How dare most people do this if there is no one to clean it up from behind?!
Li Wenchong was angry at the "insidious" intentions of the person behind him. If he really had such a quirk and fell into the trap, wouldn't it become a stain on the royal family?
"Master, I'm looking at you, this person must have a grudge against you." Qingzhu, the personal guard, looked certain.
Li Wenchong glared at him: "You still want to say this? I want to know now, who is behind me, who is so displeased with me?"
"That's a lot. Master, you have forgotten that the entire clan has been punished by you."
Li Wenchong: "..."
Well, in order to marry Qing Ling and clear the obstacles, he did deal with a wave of royal clan members.
Therefore, when Emperor Mingguang issued the decree, although the clan members were also making noises, they did not make much movement, for fear that he would grab their pigtails and clean them up.
Therefore, overall, this marriage was considered a near miss.
