Yin Ah Shu has a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and a beard. He looks thin and small, and he looks like a big tortoise in a large green official uniform.
Li Ji wanted to know how such a person gave birth to a beautiful, charming and smart daughter.
Could it be a genetic mutation?
Just when Li Ji was thinking wildly, Yin Ah Shu had already arrived at the door of the main hall. He did not regard himself as an outsider and confidently ordered the maids and maids at the door to prepare wine and meat for him.
Li Ji saw him ordering people in his house as if he was ordering his own family members, and felt disgusted, but he did not drive him away.
Li Ji wanted to know what he meant by being angry.
If the father of a noble concubine and the prince's grandfather can ask him for a reward so confidently, it shouldn't be a small matter.
Li Ji put his hands behind his back and returned to the main hall and sat down behind the bench.
Yin Ashu followed in with a shout.
After sitting down, Li Ji was not in a hurry to ask questions, and Yin Ashu was not in a hurry to speak.
After the wine and meat were served, Yin Ashu said with satisfaction while eating the wine and meat: "Your Highness, I have breathed a sigh of relief for you and His Highness the Crown Prince today."
"oh?"
Li Ji pretended to be surprised, "I would like to hear the details."
Yin Ashu took a sip of wine and said with a wink: "Aren't Your Highness and His Highness the Crown Prince at odds with the King of Qin? Today, Du Ruhui, an official of the King of Qin's palace, passed by my house on horseback. I found an excuse and beat him up.
Suddenly, two fingers were broken.
Your Highness, please tell me, have I helped you and His Royal Highness get out of their bad breath?"
Li Ji was stunned and said in astonishment: "Who?"
Yin Ashu said in confusion: "Du Ruhui, your Highness doesn't know about Du Ruhui, right?"
Without waiting for Li Ji to answer, Yin Ashu asked and answered his own question, laughing and saying with a firm tone: "Du Ruhui is a great counselor in the Prince of Qin's Palace. It is impossible for His Highness not to know about it."
Li Ji's face remained expressionless, muttering to himself.
Of course I know Du Ruhui, Fang Mou Du Duan's name is like thunder in my ears.
It's just that this kind of person was beaten up by a gangster and his fingers were broken. It's really unbelievable.
Li Ji remained silent, and Yin Ashu hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, do you think I should reward you?"
reward?
I'll reward you with a big head.
You are offending Li Shimin to death.
Li Shimin has probably started to determine the dimensions of your grave by now.
When it comes to being three feet long, it is absolutely not allowed to be three feet and one inch long.
"I remember that Du Ruhui is a confidant of King Qin. If you beat Du Ruhui, aren't you afraid that King Qin will ask you to accuse you?"
Li Ji asked.
"hey-hey……"
Yin Ashu smiled obscenely, raised his eyebrows, and said proudly: "After I beat Du Ruhui, I sent someone to send a message to the palace. If King Qin wants to cause trouble for me, he has to pass the test of a saint."
The saint mentioned by Yin Ah Shu is Li Yuan.
Officials would only address Li Yuan as "Your Majesty" on formal occasions, and they could call him "Your Majesty" in private.
Some are called saints, some are called everyone, and some are called Lord.
The specifics depend on family relationships and location.
Officials generally call Li Yuan a saint.
People in the palace generally call Li Yuan everyone.
In the past, the retainers in the Tang Dynasty's palace and the subordinates who followed Li Yuan in raising troops in Taiyuan can be called Li Yuan as their master.
Li Ji sighed in his heart, it was really the villain who complained first...so shameless and smart enough.
Yin Ah Shu first brought this matter to Li Yuan's face, and because his daughter blew the whistle on him, his beating of Du Ruhui was in vain.
Not only was Li Shimin unable to help Du Ruhui regain his position, he might even be scolded by Li Yuan.
Du Ruhui is famous in history, but now he is just an official in the Qin Palace.
Even if Li Shimin created an eighteenth bachelor in the Xiuwen Hall and raised Du Ruhui's status, it was still not enough in front of Li Yuan.
There was a conflict between a state leader and an official in the prince's palace. It was obvious who he was leaning toward.
With Li Yuan's identity, it was impossible for him to go to Du Ruhui to question him, so he would definitely summon Li Shimin and question him about his lax discipline.
Li Ji sighed, "You are really a talent..."
Although Yin Ah Shu's move could not injure Li Shimin, it would definitely disgust Li Shimin to death.
If Li Ji intends to go against Li Shimin, Yin Ashu's move is indeed helping him vent his anger.
But Li Ji had no intention of competing for the throne, so Yin Ashu's move was meaningless, and even meant to make him enemies.
Yin Ashu didn't know what Li Ji was thinking. Hearing Li Ji praise him as a talent, he said cheerfully: "Then your highness, why don't you reward me?"
Li Ji glanced at Yin Ashu and said in an incoherent manner: "If you want to ask for a reward, you should go to the East Palace..."
He didn't want to get involved in the feud between Yin Ashu and Li Shimin.
Yin Ashu immediately said: "I have already been to the East Palace, and His Highness the Crown Prince rewarded me with a hundred gold cakes."
After saying that, he winked at Li Ji, seeming to tell Li Ji that even if your reward is not equal to that of the prince, it cannot be much less than that of the prince, right?
Li Ji instantly lost interest in continuing to talk to this money-obsessed guy.
This guy just loves money and has no shame or life.
If a person can feed two families, he must have a certain amount of wisdom. Without wisdom, he is looking for death.
Now Prince Qi’s Mansion and East Palace have a cooperative relationship, but what about in the future?
He has decided to withdraw from the struggle between imperial powers, and is destined to part ways with the East Palace in the future.
Yin Ah Shu jumped around repeatedly in the East Palace and Prince Qi's Mansion. Wasn't he looking for death?
"Since my eldest brother has already rewarded you, I won't reward you anymore. It's getting late, so you should go back home quickly."
Li Ji ordered calmly.
Yin Ashu was anxious, "How can that be done?! If I help His Highness vent his anger, and Your Highness doesn't reward me, who will be willing to help His Highness in the future?"
Li Ji glanced at Yin Ashu and said with a cold tone: "So I have to reward you?"
Yin Ah Shu heard that Li Ji's tone was unkind. He wanted to use his status to argue, but thinking of King Qi's bad reputation, he could only swallow his anger and mutter, "Even if I don't reward you with money, I can reward you with a maidservant..."
As he said that, he looked at the maid guarding the door.
The maid is of good looks, young, and a beauty.
Yin Ah Shu had been eyeing it for a long time, but he just didn't find a suitable opportunity to ask for it.
"Send Prisoner Yin out of the house!"
Li Ji was too lazy to talk nonsense with Yin Ashu. He had nothing to talk to a fool who was destined to die.
The guard at the door heard Li Ji's order and immediately walked into the hall.
Yin Ashu opened his eyes in disbelief and shouted, "Your Highness?! How could you do this to me?!"
"Fork out!"
Li Ji drank coldly.
The guard trembled all over, quickly stepped forward to pick up Yin Ah Shu, and ran out of the hall.
Yin Ashu was being held up by the guards, still shouting.
Li Ji turned a deaf ear.
As for whether Yin Ah Shu would come back and complain to Li Yuan like he did to Li Shimin, Li Ji didn't care at all.
Yin Ah Shu's daughter is a noble concubine, and her grandson is a prince, but she is just a powerless noble concubine with no relatives to rely on, and a concubine prince with only a hundred households in a fiefdom.
Li Ji's cheap old lady is the queen, and her relatives are very powerful, and the fiefdom is worth tens of thousands of households.
There is a world of difference between the two sides.
And Li Ji is the direct prince.
In the Tang Dynasty, the gap between concubines and concubines was like a chasm.
Direct children have the right to inherit and have a voice in the family business from birth.
Children of the common lineage live for the direct lineage from birth.
They have to do whatever their direct descendants need them to do. Only when they are no longer needed can they live for themselves.
Li Yuan himself was a beneficiary of the law of direct concubines, and he would definitely support it.
Moreover, Li Yuan's direct children far surpassed the common people in terms of wisdom, ability, and talent.
Li Yuan's affection and love for his direct children were far deeper than those of his concubines.
Unless Li Yuan was crazy, there was no way he would embarrass his direct children for the sake of a noble concubine and a concubine prince.
If Yin Ashu really went to file a complaint, Li Yuan would just curse at him.
…
Li Ji expected that Yin Ashu would file a complaint, but he didn't expect that Yin Ashu would file a complaint so quickly.
When Li Ji saw off Yin Ah Shu and gave up his plan to go out for a walk, and was about to rest in the main hall of Wude Hall, Liu Jun, the eunuch and young eunuch who was beside Li Yuan, hurried to Wude Hall.
Liu Jun is a fair-faced, beardless, fat, middle-aged man, wearing the official uniform of a young eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
When he saw Li Ji, he bowed, straightened up, and said loudly: "Everyone is telling you to take His Highness to the Liangyi Hall to meet him."
Li Ji had just taken off his coat, and when he heard Liu Jun's words, he started to put it on again.
"Did Yin Ah Shu go to Liang Yi Palace to sue me?"
Li Ji raised his head and asked while putting on his clothes.
Liu Jun didn't reply, just bowed and stood.
Li Yuanji not only had a bad relationship with the people in the palace, but also had a bad relationship with other people in the palace.
So much so that when Li Ji tried to talk to Liu Jun, Liu Jun ignored him.
As far as Li Ji knew, Liu Jun would usually reveal some information when he went to the East Palace or Prince Qin's Mansion.
Li Ji didn't care. He put on his clothes and said, "Am I not grounded? Can I go out?"
Liu Jun bent down and said lightly: "If everyone is summoned, you can go out naturally."
Li Ji nodded and followed Liu Jun out of the main hall of Wude Hall without saying another word.
The maid at the door of the main hall quickly put a thick cloak on Li Ji.
Li Ji put on his big cloak, got on the Baohu, and swayed to the Liangyi Hall.
Sitting in the palace was a privilege given by Li Yuan to his three legitimate sons. Even his legitimate daughters did not enjoy it. Some important officials could only enjoy the privilege of sitting in sedan chairs and riding horses.
Go west from Wude Hall, pass through Daji Gate, Lizheng Gate, and Xianchun Gate, and then arrive at Liangyi Hall.
The area of Liangyi Hall is four times that of Wude Hall. Except for the huge Liangyi Hall palace in the center, it is surrounded by open space.
The night was getting dark, and the lights inside and outside the Liangyi Hall were brightly lit, but they still couldn't illuminate all the places in the Liangyi Hall.
Li Ji could only rely on candlelight and moonlight to appreciate the tall, steady, and thick outline of Liangyi Palace, but could not appreciate the full picture of Liangyi Palace.
Liangyi Hall is where Li Yuan slept, handled government affairs, and entertained important ministers.
There are thousands of guards guarding the surroundings, and seven to eight hundred palace people are waiting at the entrance of the palace.
The long queue of palace people standing at the entrance of the palace, holding lanterns and bowing, is very eye-catching.
Li Ji's treasure chest stopped at the steps at the entrance of the palace. Li Ji got off the treasure chest, straightened his clothes, and felt a little uneasy and excited.
Although Li Ji had seen Li Yuan's back at the first moment of time travel, and had seen Li Yuan in Li Yuanji's memory countless times after time travel, this was the first time that he faced Li Yuan in person, and he was inevitably a little excited.
Others only see Li Yuan in history, but he can see living and moving things. How can he not be excited?
As for the anxiety, it was because of Li Yuan's identity.
Although Li Yuan has not been highly praised in history, he is still a founding figure and proclaimed his ancestor. His wisdom, strategy, courage, talent and many other aspects must be far beyond ordinary people.
If he says something wrong when facing Li Yuan, or if he reveals some flaws and is targeted by Li Yuan, there is no guarantee that Li Yuan will not discover his secret.
