Hearing that Princess Gaoyang and Princess Jinyang were attending the ceremony together, Li Ji said, "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else to do for the time being, I will take my leave first."
His Majesty Li Er nodded and said: "That's fine."
Then he said to Sun Fuga: "Let's handle this case according to your memorial. We will gather experts from Guanzhong Prison to conduct a new investigation and collect clues to solve the case as soon as possible to comfort the victims. But at the same time,
, we must also be cautious and cautious. We must not be greedy for power and rush forward, let alone be forced to frame the situation indiscriminately under pressure. The Tang Dynasty ruled the country by law, and we must pay attention to human and material evidence at all times."
He knew Fang Jun's ability well. Since he dared to attack the Guanlong disciples, he would have to be fully prepared. It would be almost impossible for the evidence to be found out afterwards. However, he must also be on guard against the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment's attempts to influence the Guanlong nobles.
Under the pressure, he had to compromise and then closed the case in a specious manner.
Once Fang Jun is involved, it will inevitably have an extremely negative impact on the prince's situation.
At least at this stage, His Majesty Li Er has not yet made up his mind to change the throne, and he does not want to see the turmoil in the court caused by the prince being implicated...
Sun Fujia naturally understood what His Majesty Li Er meant, and quickly nodded and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will do my best to investigate this case. At that time, the witnesses and physical evidence will be presented in front of Your Majesty, and it will be up to Your Majesty to make a decision."
Changsun Wuji on the side also understood that His Majesty Li Er was basically warning him not to use some shameful means and to solve the case honestly. If there is evidence, then it will naturally be done in accordance with the law. But if it is deliberately framed, then it will definitely be done.
no……
Although I was dissatisfied deep down, I could only remain silent.
His Majesty Li Er then showed his face and said: "As for the prince's appointment to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, since you all have no objections, let's leave it like that for the time being. Later in the political hall, you will draft a memorial and submit it. I will approve it and let it go.
The prince will take up his post at the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
"Here!"
Several ministers agreed in unison, then bowed and saluted, stepped back for a walk, turned around and walked out of the imperial study.
As soon as they went out, they saw Princess Gaoyang and Princess Jinyang, dressed in palace attire and with pearls on their heads, standing outside the door holding hands. Several ministers hurriedly came forward and bowed together to greet them.
The two princesses also gathered their skirts and returned the courtesy.
After all the ministers had left, the two of them entered the royal study together.
The chamberlain had already removed the tea sets and other items, and placed several plates of seasonal fruits and snacks on the coffee table. When His Majesty Li Er saw the two girls, he had a bright smile on his face and was in a good mood. After waiting for the two to salute, he
He waved and said, "Come here and sit down. Try the melons from Yizhou and the grapes from Xizhou. Yesterday, the Anxi Governor's Office just sent a horse to deliver them to the capital. The taste is very good."
Several jade plates on the coffee table contained various melons and fruits. They had just been washed with clean water and were still stained with clear water droplets. There was a layer of crushed ice at the bottom of the plates. The coolness was refreshing and really beautiful.
His Majesty Li Er cut a melon with a silver knife and let the two girls taste it. The two princesses smiled and thanked them, and then each picked up a piece and put it into their mouths. The skin was a little thick, but the flesh was very sweet, and it was chilled with ice.
Yes, the taste is indeed extraordinary.
Seeing the two girls happily eating melons, grapes, and a few pieces of pastry, and rinsing their mouths with a silk handkerchief to wipe away the remaining stains from the corners of their mouths, His Majesty Li Er was beaming, feeling happier than he had ever eaten.
, then asked with a smile: "You sisters are here together today, but something is wrong? Tell me, as long as it is not something too outrageous such as bullying men and dominating women, my father will allow it."
Princess Jinyang was the best at being coquettish, so she stepped forward and hugged His Majesty Li Er's arm, smiling coquettishly: "What do you think of your daughters? But my daughter heard that both the British Duke and the Duke of Lu had turned into bandits and robbed homes and houses.
Some people say that the reason why my father was willing to accept Duke Lu back then was because Lu Guogong gave a beauty he had snatched to my father... Hee hee, I wonder if it is true or not?"
His Majesty Li Er widened his eyes and said loudly: "Where is such a thing? It makes no sense! Don't look at Cheng Yaojin's bearded and domineering appearance. You think he is just like those demon kings who dominate the mountains and dominate the world.
, In fact, that guy is the most timid and only knows how to play rogue. If he is really asked to snatch someone's little wife, his legs will be weak. How can he have the courage? But Yuchi Jingde, a common man, is brave. His two black and white
Madam, it was after she and her father won the battle against Meng Jiong that she snatched away his two daughters..."
The three father and daughter laughed together.
In fact, this matter was a myth. It was originally made up by some people to ridicule Yuchi Jingde, but as time passed, more and more people who did not know the truth believed it to be true, which often made Yuchi Jingde angry.
After laughing for a while, His Majesty Li Er said warmly: "Tell me, why did you come here together today?"
The two princesses looked at each other, and Princess Gaoyang said: "To my father, this time the husband and brother Qingque are going south together. My daughter wants to accompany her, and also experience the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, have some fun, and hope that her father will do the same.
Granted."
Upon hearing this, His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and pondered for a while, then slowly said: "Logically speaking, King Wei and Fang Jun went south on official business, and it is not appropriate for their family members to accompany them. However, you have married into the Fang family in recent years, and you are well-informed.
You are gentle and virtuous, and you can live harmoniously with your sisters-in-law and be filial to your parents-in-law. I am deeply pleased as a father. I wanted to reward you well, so I allow you to accompany me this time as a reward."
Princess Gaoyang immediately thanked her and said, "Thank you so much, Father!"
Princess Jinyang on the side suddenly smiled, which was equivalent to opening a hole and winking at Princess Gaoyang.
Princess Gaoyang felt funny when she saw Princess Jinyang hiding behind her father's side and looked impatient, so she continued: "My daughter has something else that I would like to ask my father for permission to do. My sisters lived in the palace when we were young and were not allowed to go out for leisure.
The farthest point is only the Guanzhong area, with little knowledge and little experience. Even after getting married, one must abide by the royal dignity. Although it is not impossible to stay out of the door, it rarely shows up. As time goes by,
, it is inevitable to feel depressed and unhappy. Therefore, my daughter thought that it would be a good idea to let the sisters who have nothing to do at the moment accompany us on this trip. They can all see the beautiful rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty, take a sip of Yangtze River water, and see the rain in the south of the Yangtze River. They will definitely be happy.
very."
His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and pondered undecided.
Although Princess Gaoyang's proposal is considered a good thing, people can walk around and take a look, which can indeed expand their minds and broaden their horizons, which is not a bad thing for ordinary people. But as a royal princess, there are too many things that need to be taboo, any
If the princess travels thousands of miles away from the capital, she will provoke the censors at the censor's station to impeach her, which is very troublesome.
It can be said that if another princess raised this matter, even Princess Jinyang, His Majesty Li Er would immediately veto it.
Love is love, but don't just despise the law or over-indulge.
But Princess Gaoyang is different.
This is not only because of His Majesty Li Er's love for Princess Gaoyang, but also because of Fang Jun behind Princess Gaoyang...
In the past, Fang Jun was regarded as his favorite and junior, and it was understandable to give him a beating, a scolding or even a whip, but it showed his closeness.
However, to this day, Fang Jun's meritorious service, achievements, and current status in the court have made His Majesty Li Er have to look at him with admiration. He can't stand Fang Jun's words and deeds.
It was so casual in the past, so we must be cautious about it.
After all, the court is a court, and there are certain rules that must be followed. Many times, he has to express the emperor's respect for powerful ministers to Fang Jun.
It was precisely because of Fang Jun's rapid rise in status that he became the pillar of the imperial court, which also made Princess Gaoyang's status infinitely higher. She had already surpassed many princesses, and His Majesty Li Er could no longer regard her simply as his daughter.
It is said that a wife is honored by her husband and a mother is honored by her son.
If Princess Gaoyang is rejected, then one needs to consider how Fang Jun will react to this, and even whether the outside world will interpret it excessively.
With Fang Jun's current status and influence, even His Majesty Li Er must consider everything and cannot take it lightly...
While he was still hesitating and weighing, Princess Jinyang next to her received the wink signal from Princess Gaoyang, took His Majesty Li Er's arm and shook her, and began to act coquettishly: "Father, please agree! This time it is my daughter begging Sister Gao Yang.
Take mine with you. When you grow up, the farthest place your daughter has ever been is Zhongnan Mountain. She has long heard that the mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River and the fishing boats singing late are unparalleled in the world, so please let me go and have a look."
Being shaken by the little girl, His Majesty Li Er said helplessly: "Even if you want to have fun, why go so far to the south of the Yangtze River? Longyou is vast and Luoyang is prosperous. You can go if you want. The south of the Yangtze River is really too far...
