Prince Lu immediately shook his head and said: "No, that kid Abao is so considerate, how could he..."
Prince Yu sighed slowly, "Two old things, his mother or us, who do you think he will choose?"
Prince Lu paused for a moment, then said quietly: "That Chu Yiqing has done a lot for Li Guo in the past six months, but it's a pity that she is from the previous royal family, so she really can't stay..."
Prince Yu frowned and asked coldly: "Are you doing your old habits again? Lao Lutou, I can tell you, you can't be soft-hearted at this time!"
Prince Lu waved his hands in displeasure and said: "Who said I'm soft-hearted? I just..." [
"You said you are not soft-hearted. Look at your potential, just like a woman!" Prince Yu snorted coldly.
The two old princes were bickering when suddenly, the attendant beside Prince Lu turned around and shouted loudly: "Who is it?"
Prince Lu and Prince Yu quickly looked back, and then they discovered that there was a five or six-year-old child standing behind them. He was dressed in brocade clothes and wearing a crown. At first glance, he was dressed like a prince.
"Grandpa Huang, I am Yan'er!" The child's lips curled up with a bright smile, and he stepped forward to salute the two old princes in a polite manner.
"Yan'er? Are you Li Gan's son?" Prince Yu thought for a long time before saying.
Li Yan nodded with a smile, "The guards didn't allow me to come in, so I secretly climbed a tree to come in. Two old emperors, are I very strong?"
Prince Lu looked at the locust tree beside the courtyard wall and raised his eyebrows with interest: "Can you still climb trees?"
Li Yan nodded, stepped forward and gently tugged Prince Lu's arm and said, "Grandpa Huang, they said you have a terrible disease. What disease did the two grandpas have?"
Prince Lu looked at Li Yan and seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly turned away coldly and said in a cold voice: "The disease we have is contagious. You'd better get out quickly and don't come back again!"
Li Yan suddenly stepped forward and hugged Prince Lu's waist tightly, and said loudly: "Yan'er is not afraid, Yan'er's father has passed away, and the emperor's grandfather ignored Yan'er. Yan'er only has two old emperors!"
Li Yan's words seemed to have touched the most sensitive chord in Prince Lu's heart. He was startled and raised his eyes to see that Prince Yu was also thinking deeply.
Li Yan was taken away by the guards. Prince Lu sighed quietly. Countless thoughts were surging in his mind, making him breathless.
"Old Yutou, why don't you say anything?" After a long while, Prince Lu turned to look at Prince Yu, "If Chu Yiqing stays or kills him, you should give him an accurate answer!"
Prince Yu slowly looked back: "It's natural to kill, we must not let the kingdom of Li fall into the hands of that witch!"
Prince Lu could only sigh quietly again.
On the second day after Li Huang ascended the throne, the people of Chu Han poured into the capital. They all stood guard outside the palace gate, shouting loudly that they wanted to make Chu Yiqing the queen.
Above the main hall, civil and military officials wrote letters one after another, some asking the emperor to comply with public opinion, while others claimed that the people's petition was a conspiracy!
"Your Majesty, I believe that this people's petition may not be as simple as it seems. I would like to ask Your Majesty to ask the three departments of the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Husbandry to review it and find out clearly!" Lu Youli stood up again.
Yang Xin quickly winked at him, but Lu Youli didn't even look at him. He just lowered his eyes and lowered his eyebrows, maintaining the posture of bending down to ask for instructions.[
Li Huang frowned. He didn't expect that Lu Youli would actually propose a joint trial of the three divisions. He immediately sneered and said: "Lu Aiqing, there are more than a thousand people named Bai. I ask you, are you going to arrest all these people for interrogation?"
?"
Lu Youli said righteously: "Then what's wrong?"
Just as Li Huang was about to get angry, Yang Xin quickly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I have already sent people to investigate. These people are really just common people of Chu Han. They are just grateful for the kindness shown to them by Concubine Chu.
Come and ask the beast to flatter you, bad boy, don’t do this!”
Lu Youli suddenly turned his attention to Yang Xin: "Master Yang, all the queens in the past dynasties have both ability and political integrity. How can the common people point their fingers? Now the common people are crowding at the gate of the palace. It is obviously a demonstration. Next
The official suspects that there might be people from the previous dynasty here!"
Yang Xin was so anxious that he wanted to step forward and kick this stubborn brother-in-law, but now in the main hall, he could not do it, so he could only lower his voice and said: "Master Lu, I have already said that everyone inside is Chu Han.
Everyone in our country has a household registration record. If Mr. Lu doesn’t believe it, he can send someone to check it again!”
Lu Youli said sternly: "This is exactly what I want to do. Your Majesty, please send me your ministers to the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of Punishment to handle this matter!"
The Minister of Justice, Yu Hanlin, and the Minister of Household Affairs, Ning Wei, immediately cowered. With the current situation, everyone could see that the Emperor wanted to take advantage of this incident to get off the hook, not to mention that there was only one concubine in the harem, Concubine Chu.
She also refuses to draft women to expand the harem. If this continues, Concubine Chu will sooner or later sit on the throne of the queen!
Li Huang looked at Yu Hanlin and Ning Wei coldly, and said coldly: "Lu Aiqing, it seems that neither Yu Aiqing nor Ning Aiqing wants to investigate this matter with you!"
Lu Youli turned to look at Yu Hanlin and Ning Wei, and immediately said: "The Third Division should serve the emperor and solve problems. Mr. Yu and Mr. Ning, do you think so?"
Yu Hanlin and Ning Wei, whose names were called again, had no choice but to stand up and snorted reluctantly.
Yang Xin took a look and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, then let Mr. Lu and the two gentlemen investigate thoroughly. If it is really just the people's petition and it is just a public opinion, then the Emperor can comply with the public opinion.
, Confessing Concubine Chu as Queen, if there is really a remnant from the previous dynasty who is still determined to do so, Master Lu and the other two masters will also be aware of it!"
After hearing Yang Xin's words, Li Huang's frown slowly relaxed, and he said in a cold voice: "Yang Xin listened to the order, and asked you to jointly investigate with the three departments of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Husbandry, and the Ministry of Punishment to investigate the people's petitions.
The truth comes out!”
Yang Xin quickly responded.
After leaving the court, many civil and military officials were pointing fingers behind Lu Youli. Yang Xin stepped forward quickly and stared at Lu Youli closely, but had to sigh.
Lu Youli hugged Yang Xin and said in a low voice: "Master Yang, this official is doing this all for the sake of Li Guo, and there is absolutely no selfishness at all!"
"If I had known that you were so stubborn, I shouldn't have raised your hand with the emperor at that time. But now, I just shot myself in the foot!"
Lu Youli was startled, and looked a little angry. He said in a low voice: "Master Yang, the identity of Concubine Chu is indeed special. Now there are people making trouble again. As ministers, shouldn't we investigate thoroughly?"
"Brother Lu Xian, why don't you understand? I elected you to the emperor. Now that the emperor has ascended the throne, it is the time for you and my brothers to show their talents. Tell me about you. Why did you... just now in the Jinluan Hall?
, I gave you so many winks, why did you pretend not to see it? You don’t even think about it, these people didn’t come earlier, they didn’t come very late, they just waited until the emperor ascended the throne to arrive in the capital. The emperor clearly knew about the people’s petition, why?
If you haven't stopped yet, you obviously want to go down the slope and comply with public opinion, why do you just..." Yang Xin said seriously.
"Master Yang, as ministers, we must try our best to assist the emperor and make him a wise king. Can we just agree with the emperor and condone the evildoers just for the sake of our own future?" Lu Youli was not moved at all.
Yang Xin was so angry that his whole body trembled, and he suddenly shouted loudly: "Okay, okay, in that case, Lu Youli, listen, from now on you will walk on your single-plank bridge, and I will walk on mine. Our two families will officially separate from each other!"
Lu Youli was startled and said in a low voice: "Master Yang, the wife of a lower official and Mrs. Yang are biological sisters. I'm afraid Master Yang didn't leave just because he said he could, right?"
"I will go back and divorce my wife now, so that I won't be implicated by you!" Yang Xin blurted out in confusion.[
Lu Youli said seriously: "According to the laws of Li State, Mrs. Yang has not violated any of the seven-out rules. I'm afraid it is inappropriate for Mr. Yang to do this!"
Yang Xin was so angry that he almost fainted. He pointed at Lu Youli for a long time, but in the end he didn't say a word. However, Lu Youli strode away calmly and calmly.
"Master Yang, Master Yang, look at you, why are you so angry with that man!" Yu Hanlin and Ning Wei all came forward to persuade him, "His temper is like this, otherwise he wouldn't have been there for six years.
He has always been in the position of censor! When Mr. Yang tried his best to promote him before, we just couldn’t tell because of the relationship between Mr. Yang and Mr. Lu. Now you see, it’s really..."
"You said that Lu Youli is too rigid. Now the Emperor has nothing to do with the Emperor. How can he, a small minister of etiquette, turn the world upside down? Mr. Yang, with the three of us, the three divisions can only do a joint trial.
Just go through the motions, don't worry!" Ning Wei stepped forward with a smile and said flatteringly.
Yang Xin could only nod his head, but he felt so sick in his heart because of Lu Youli's incident.
When Lu Youli returned home, he immediately went into the study and carefully read the documents sent by his subordinates. As he was thinking about it, Mrs. Lu cut off tea and came in. She couldn't help but nagging: "Get in as soon as you come in."
I can't even see anyone in the study. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne and is granting amnesty to the world, is he really that busy?"
"What do you know, a woman's opinion!" Lu Youli turned sideways impatiently.
"I am a woman, but you have to take care of your daughter's marriage, right? A few days ago, many people came to propose marriage. I saw several conditions that were good. This horoscope is also suitable for our Xin'er. Why don't you take a look?
, which one is suitable?" Mrs. Lu said, and placed the Geng Tie sent by the matchmaker in front of Lu Youli.
"Didn't you see me reviewing official documents? Just make up your own mind on such a small matter!" Lu Youli waved the Geng Tie under the table impatiently.
"You..." Mrs. Lu was startled and couldn't help but said angrily: "A trivial matter? Is my daughter's life-long event a trivial matter? Lu Youli, when I took my daughter to Lucheng, you just ignored us. Now that we are back,
Your daughter is getting married, but you don't care about it. Now someone comes to propose marriage, so why is it so difficult for you to give advice? What is a big deal in your eyes? "
Lu Youli turned sideways impatiently, covered his ears, and pretended not to hear.
"Okay, okay, you don't care about Xin'er, I do. Xin'er is the flesh that fell off my body anyway, I will never wrong Xin'er!" Mrs. Lu said angrily, took the post and left the study.
Lu Youli continued to look down at Zhezi with an expression on his face.
Mrs. Lu selected a few families from those who proposed marriage, and called the matchmaker to come and have a look. Unexpectedly, the matchmaker declined them all. It was either because the young men had fallen in love with other girls, or they just didn't want to get married for the time being, and they were angry.
Mrs. Lu couldn't help but said angrily: "Since you don't want to get married, why did you send this birth date to our house in the first place? We are also a serious family, are you playing with us?"
The matchmaker hurriedly apologized with a smile on his face. In the end, Mrs. Lu was really forced to do nothing, so he said truthfully: "Mrs. Lu, I'm afraid we have to ask Mr. Lu who he has offended in the court. We are
Matchmakers naturally hope to achieve a good marriage, but this..."
The matchmaker sighed, quickly took away the post and left!
Mrs. Lu was startled and was about to question Lu Youli, but knowing Lu Youli's temper, she had to quickly pack up and go to the Yang Mansion.
In the Yang Mansion, Mrs. Yang told Mrs. Lu in detail what happened in the court today, and then said: "My brother-in-law wrote a letter against the emperor's appointment of Concubine Chu as his queen. My master reminded him, but not only did he not listen,
, and now it is getting worse. He said in the court today that those people who petitioned for Concubine Chu may be remnants of the previous dynasty. Tell me about this... Sister, don't blame those princes and princes for taking the Geng Tie back. You said that my brother-in-law is like that
temperament..."
Only then did Mrs. Lu understand the reason, and said bitterly: "This old stubborn is throwing our two mothers into a pit of fire. What do you think he thinks? Now the people are petitioning, and the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government have written to second the proposal. It is clear that Chu
The concubine is destined to be the queen, why does this stubborn old man have to hit the tip of the knife? The latest chapter of Beauty CEO Qiao Jiaren!"
Mrs. Yang sighed and said: "It was you who came to beg me and said that my brother-in-law had not been promoted in six years, so I went to beg our master. Now that my brother-in-law has done this, he has slapped my master in the face hard. Just now
My master still complained about me!"
Mrs. Lu didn't know what to say for a moment, so she had to apologize again and again.
"You didn't listen to my advice and did that kind of thing. If you hadn't provoked the Xu family mother and daughter, Ning Xin would have been able to marry the man she liked, and with Concubine Chu as her strong backing, what do you think?
...That's all, it's too late to say anything now!" Mrs. Yang sighed.
When Mrs. Lu heard this, she felt even more upset. After she humiliated Mrs. Xu on the spot that day, those noble ladies rarely invited her to their banquets. On the contrary, Mrs. Xu often went in and out of the Prince's Mansion and interacted with those who wanted to curry favor with Concubine Chu.
The ladies got along well, and now the Xu family's business is slowly improving, and the Xu family's status is also slowly improving!
"Sister, my good sister, you have to help me. The only person I can ask for now is you. Xin'er is also your niece. You can't look at Xin'er..." Mrs. Lu couldn't help but
Wiped away tears.
"The matter has come to this, tell me how else I can help you, so be it. Now you can persuade your brother-in-law not to contradict the emperor again. Once you have passed this hurdle, let's talk about Xin'er's matter later!" Mrs. Yang could only say.
When Mrs. Lu heard this, she was filled with pain and had no way to complain. Although she was in poor health, she could have recuperated in the capital, but just because she couldn't stand Lu Youli's neglect of her, she angrily took the two
The child returned to her parents' home temporarily, thinking that Lu Youli would be anxious when she left. However, since her eldest daughter was gone, Lu Youli didn't even show her face, and now she didn't even know what was going on in her head. Between her and Lu Youli
The love between them is getting weaker and weaker, how can I still convince him!
Mrs. Yang sighed and said: "If my brother-in-law offends everyone, even if your brother-in-law has extraordinary abilities, he can't help your family. You can just figure it out yourself!"
When Mrs. Lu heard this, she suddenly sat there. After a long time, there was a hint of fierceness in her eyes, and she whispered: "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to stop him!"
Mrs. Yang nodded.
At this moment, the place 500 meters outside the palace was filled with people who came to petition. They all brought their own bedding and all kinds of food. A few people gathered together and talked, but they seemed not to be impatient or impatient.
Lu Youli and Yang Xin stood in front of the people with their people. When the people saw the high official coming out, they all quickly stood up and rushed forward.
"Who is your leader? Tell me quickly!" Lu Youli asked coldly.
Everyone took a look, and a young man replied: "We all go to the capital together, and we take care of each other on the way. What's the point?"
As soon as Lu Youli saw someone talking to him, he immediately ordered in a cold voice: "Arrest this person!"
The young man was stunned and immediately shouted: "Why did you arrest me? What law did I break?"
Lu Youli sneered: "Assembling a crowd to cause trouble, isn't this crime enough?"
The young man was stunned and immediately said: "We are just grateful for the kindness of the Goddess of Agriculture and want the emperor to know the gratitude of our people to the Concubine Chu. Where can we gather a crowd to cause trouble?"
"You're quite good at speaking. I'm afraid someone taught you, right? Why are you still dazed? Get it quickly!" Lu Youli ordered again coldly.
Yang Xin quickly stepped forward and said: "Master Lu, what are you doing? Why are you arresting people without proof? Do you want to make people angry?"
Before Yang Xin finished speaking, he saw someone among the people shouting loudly: "We have not violated the law, we are just grateful for the kindness of the Goddess of Agriculture to us, and we just want to let the emperor know how good the Goddess of Agriculture is. Where are we?
make a mistake?"
As soon as the man shouted, the people around him also started shouting, and the atmosphere gradually became anxious, with some even shoving the guards.
"You still say that you didn't break the law. Come on, arrest all of them. I will interrogate them carefully!" Lu Youli shouted loudly.
When Lu Youli shouted, the scene became even more chaotic, and some people had already thrown the food they had brought with them at Lu Youli.
"Beat the imperial official, arrest him!" Lu Youli shouted while covering his face.
"Folks, folks!" Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Yang Xin hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, "The more you do this, the less you can help Concubine Chu, and it will also bring trouble to Concubine Chu!"
"Folks, let's calm down. We are not here to cause trouble, we are here to petition!" Suddenly, in the crowd, a young man of fifteen or sixteen stood up and shouted loudly.
It can be seen that the young man seems to have great authority in the crowd. Gradually, the people around the young man slowly calm down.
Yang Xin knew that he could not let Lu Youli continue to fool around again, so he quickly shouted: "The court has no ill intentions. The court just wants to understand the public opinion. Everyone queues up and writes down their names and addresses. We will ask everyone one by one.
If you really just come here to petition peacefully, we will definitely take your wishes to heaven!"
After everyone heard this, they slowly calmed down. At this moment, dozens of guards came out with pens and papers, and asked the people's names one by one to record them.
"Master Ning, I leave it to you to thoroughly investigate the identities of these people!" Yang Xin whispered to Ning Wei.
Ning Wei nodded and said: "As long as they are registered, they can definitely be found!"
Yu Hanlin also said: "I have sent people to Chu Han to ask Chu Han Prefect Bai Yuanzeng to come and assist in the investigation. I believe there will be a result soon!"
Yang Xin nodded.
Lu Youli still refused to give up and whispered: "With so many people going to the capital together, it must be organized. Maybe they received some money or money. This matter must be thoroughly investigated!"
Yang Xin and the three others ignored him.
In one day, all the people who came to petition were registered. Ning Wei was responsible for the household registration, and Yu Hanlin sent guards to make up the people and mix in the crowd, secretly investigating. As for Lu Youli, he fell ill on the third day, and he was
If you are seriously ill and can't even get out of bed, nature will come to the scene.
Ten days later, with the help of Bai Yuanzeng, the prefect of Chu Han, Yang Xin and the others finally found out about the people's petition and reported it to Li Huang.
"Your Majesty, now the three departments of the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Husbandry, and the Ministry of Rites have found out clearly that most of these people have received favors from Concubine Chu, and they spontaneously organized petitions in the capital. Indeed, there are no people from the previous dynasty among them!" Yang Xin!
Play loudly.
As soon as Yang Xin finished speaking, Bai Yuanzeng immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Chu has lived in Chu Han for six years, turning a barren land where prisoners were exiled into a happy city where everyone can live and work in peace and contentment. Your Majesty, I am amnesty."
After the world, few people left Chu Han. There were rumors among the people before that someone in the court objected to the emperor's appointment of Concubine Chu as his queen because of Concubine Chu's status as a former royal family. The people of Chu Han just missed Concubine Chu.
My kindness is just to testify for Concubine Chu. Please, Your Majesty, please comply with public opinion and make Concubine Chu your queen!"
After the hundred-yuan increase was completed, several adults immediately seconded the proposal, and the original opposition, without Lu Youli, was suddenly suppressed.
Li Huang nodded and said: "What you dear ladies are saying is reasonable. If so, then I will make a decree and canonize Concubine Chu as the queen!"
As soon as Li Huang finished speaking, he heard a powerful voice suddenly rang out from outside the hall: "Concubine Chu must not become queen!"
