Five years as county magistrate, hundreds of millions of kilograms of grain shocked Li Shimin Chapter 395: Serious crime and light punishment, Li Ke asks Fang Yuan to get drunk
Chapter 395: Serious crime and light punishment, Li Ke asks Fang Yuan to get drunk
Li Tai’s body is too fat.
So much so that after he stood up from his knees, he was dizzy with blood and fainted.
Originally, Li Shimin was no longer so angry because of Changsun Wuji's plea.
Now because Li Tai fainted, there was no longer any anger.
Fortunately, the imperial doctor checked and found that Li Tai just fainted after kneeling for a long time, and it was nothing serious.
"Your Majesty, for the sake of Qingque's young age, all the blame should be placed on the old minister. The old minister is willing to bear everything."
Changsun Wuji said in pain.
Looking at the unconscious Li Tai, Changsun Wuji squeezed out a few tears.
"You guys should go back first, I'm not in the mood to talk about this."
Li Shimin looked at Li Tai on the bed and said in a low tone.
Because Li Tai was too fat, Li Shimin was always worried that something would happen to his son.
Therefore, a lot of thoughts were focused on Li Tai, and he unconsciously became the most beloved one among his many sons.
Now seeing Li Tai lying on the bed with a pale face, Li Shimin had no other thoughts and did not want to punish Changsun Wuji.
"My lord, please retire."
Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian were stunned, looked at each other, and immediately chose to leave.
Both of them were happy and excited in their hearts, and they were probably surprised that Li Shimin was not punished.
This must be due to Li Tai's coma, which is really a blessing among misfortunes.
Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian walked out of the palace wearing sad masks.
As soon as they arrived at the palace, the uncle and nephew could not help but smile.
And this scene happened to be seen by Li Ke, who was about to meet Li Shimin.
But Li Ke escaped in time, so Chang, Sun and Wuji did not notice Li Ke.
They were smiling so happily, but Father didn’t punish them?
Li Ke's heart instantly sank to the bottom.
After pondering for a moment, he followed his idea and asked to see Li Shimin.
Not long after, Li Ke saw Li Shimin, but he also saw Li Tai on the bed.
"Father, what's going on with the fourth brother?"
Li Ke suddenly made random guesses, but on the surface he was full of concern.
"You are not in good health and you were punished by me for kneeling for so long. What do you want to do with me?"
Li Shimin sighed and said.
The eyes looking at Li Tai were full of love, and he didn't even look at Li Ke.
"Did the fourth brother commit something?"
Li Ke's eyes changed instantly, and his expression became a bit struggling.
Seeing Li Shimin looking at Li Tai dotingly, Li Ke suddenly felt aggrieved, filled with grief and anger.
At the same time, he probably guessed that the emperor would give Li Tai and Changsun Wuji a lighter sentence and a lighter punishment for serious crimes.
"It's nothing, I just got some fake money."
Li Shimin said disapprovingly.
Sure enough!
Li Ke clenched his fists instantly.
He guessed the result, but he was still sad.
So partial, so partial!
If it were him, he would definitely not be so partial.
Li Ke's face was almost twisted, but it was a pity that Li Shimin didn't look here.
After a while, Li Shimin saw that Li Ke didn't reply, and then he looked at Li Ke.
But at this time, Li Ke had recovered his expression and turned into a worried look.
"If you're fine, go down and rest first."
Li Shimin sighed.
He remembered that Li Ke's leg injury had not healed yet.
"My son, please retire!"
"Father, please take good care of your fourth brother."
Li Ke was so angry that his body was twitching slightly.
But he still looked concerned about his younger brother until he walked out of the palace.
Looking at the sun above his head, Li Ke felt cold all over and wanted to look up to the sky and scream.
Too biased!
In the eyes of the father, they are the only direct descendants!
After all, he is a concubine, a son who is not recognized!
Li Ke left with anger, returned to his Shu Palace and locked himself in the room.
Li Ke didn't come out of the room until night.
"Prepare the sedan!"
"Prepare the best gift for me!"
Li Ke said expressionlessly.
Compared with before, he seemed to be a different person.
Late at night, Li Ke got on an inconspicuous sedan and finally knocked on the door of Fang Mansion.
"King Shu, I said he is not free."
After Fang Yuan learned that it was Li Ke who arrived late at night, he refused to meet him.
If you came here so late, it would be bad if people knew about it.
However, Li Ke did not force the Fang Mansion, but only asked his servants to pass the message.
"Sir, the King of Shu said that there is something very important. Regarding what we discussed during the day, please go to the nearby pavilion to see us."
Gouzi brings a message to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan remembered the topics he and Li Ke talked about during the day.
While hesitating, Du Miaoyan spoke.
"Why don't you just go and take Mo Cailing with you."
Du Miaoyan said.
Li Ke is not a reckless person. If he is looking for Fang Yuan so late, he must have something important to do.
Take Mo Cailing with you. If anyone appears nearby, she will notify Li Ke to leave as soon as possible so that no one will bump into him.
"Okay, then I'll go and come back."
Fang Yuan thought for a while and finally nodded.
Li Ke may have gained something from what we talked about during the day.
If you see me, see you. I just don’t want to get involved in the battle for the throne, it’s not that I don’t dare to.
Soon, Fang Yuan and Mo Cailing secretly walked out of Fang Mansion and went to a nearby pavilion as agreed.
This is a place for leisure. In the eyes of later generations, this is a park, and there happens to be a lake not far from the pavilion.
Although it is night, under the moonlight, the scenery here looks very good, new and pleasant.
When Fang Yuan arrived, Li Ke was sitting on a stone bench drinking alone.
He actually prepared wine and food, and they were very rich.
"Fang Yuan, you're here anyway, sit down!"
Li Ke looked at Fang Yuan with a wry smile.
"What do you want from me?"
Fang Yuan frowned slightly, but still chose to sit down.
Judging from Li Ke's appearance, it didn't look like he had discovered something important, but that he had encountered something unhappy.
"Today, I entered the palace and saw Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian leaving the palace happily, while Li Tai fell into a coma on the bed after kneeling for too long."
"I asked the emperor what happened, and he said, 'Nothing, I just got some fake money.' I then understood that the emperor committed a serious crime and received a light punishment!"
"I'm really unhappy. Why should Li Chengqian and Li Tai be given a lighter punishment when they do something? No matter how good I do, it doesn't help. Is it just because of the difference between direct descendants?"
Li Ke said while drinking, his resentment rising to the sky.
Li Shimin's partiality made him feel that he had no chance of becoming the emperor.
Although he is now the king of Shu with a good reputation, so what?
The final decision lies in the hands of the emperor, not the ministers.
"You came to me just to listen to your complaints?"
Fang Yuan's brows furrowed deeper.
That's why he doesn't want to investigate further.
Because no matter what the outcome of the investigation is, Li Shimin may be given a lighter sentence in the end.
Unless the crime was too serious, Li Shimin would not be able to suppress him, and he would eventually be demoted from Chang'an City like Li Chengqian.
But such situations are rare. Li Tai is not a fool, and he will not leave such a big hole for himself.
"No!"
"I want to tell you that from today on, I will use my own means to win the throne!"
Li Ke's eyes suddenly became sharp and he said in a deep voice.
"Then bless you."
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Fang Yuan said calmly.
Right or wrong, success or failure depends on human effort.
If Li Ke wants the throne, he will take it.
Whether he succeeds or not has nothing to do with him.
"Ask me one last time, can you support me?"
Li Ke looked at Fang Yuan with pleading eyes and said solemnly.
"I said, I will not participate in any struggle for imperial power, you can find someone else."
Fang Yuan shook his head, stood up and left.
"Fang Yuan, it doesn't matter if you don't support me, and please don't support others!"
Li Ke took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
He is angry, but not angry either.
As long as Fang Yuan doesn't support others, it doesn't matter.
Fang Yuan did not answer and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Li Ke looked at the direction Fang Yuan left and took a long time to look away.
He drank again, drinking heavily until he collapsed.
As time goes by, the fake money thing seems to no longer happen, and Li Tai’s problem has not been announced.
Even the sins of company commanders Sun Wuji and Gao Shilian disappeared due to their suspension.
Fang Yuan went to and from get off work as usual every day, while keeping an eye on the affairs of Japan and Goguryeo.
On this day, Su Ziqing was finally going to give birth, and Fang Yuan took a day off to come back to accompany her.
The midwives also came from medical schools and are very experienced veterans.
During the period of training in the medical school, their success in delivering babies has improved a lot. Almost all the deliveries in Chang'an City have gone through their hands.
"Why did it take so long this time?"
Fang Yuan's mood gradually became nervous.
The last time Du Miaoyan went into labor, she gave birth within a quarter of an hour.
But this time, Su Ziqing had not given birth for an hour after entering.
"Don't worry, husband, everyone's physique is different."
Du Miaoyan comforted her from the side.
She was holding the child and looked relatively relaxed.
As a woman who has given birth, Du Miaoyan knows the situation.
And there are five midwives present, so there is no need to worry.
"Same."
Fang Yuan relaxed a little.
But I still couldn’t help but walk back and forth in the yard.
This time Juzi and Sun Simiao did not come back.
After all, he is a big man, and there is nothing they can do if they stay.
However, the Su family has notified them, and Su’s mother and others are also waiting anxiously.
"What's going to happen?"
After waiting for another hour, Mother Su's face turned pale.
Two full hours passed, from morning to afternoon, and I was exhausted from waiting. I can only imagine how difficult it was for Su Ziqing inside.
At this time, Du Miaoyan began to worry that Su Ziqing would have difficulty giving birth.
Fortunately, suddenly, a sharp cry sounded.
"It's born, it's born!"
Mother Su and others were very excited.
Fang Yuan and others also breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the midwife opening the door and looking out.
"Congratulations, Mr. Fang, you are a young master!"
The midwife congratulated her.
"Okay! How about Su Ziqing?"
Fang Yuan was overjoyed and immediately asked about Su Ziqing's situation.
I've been in there for so long, just don't let anything happen.
"Mrs. Su is fine. She's just a little exhausted. Just rest and she'll be fine."
The midwife smiled, then stepped back and closed the door.
"Okay!"
"Miaoyan, let's arrange a big banquet at Fang Mansion!"
Fang Yuan finally felt relieved and told Du Miaoyan at the side.
Du Miaoyan responded, said a few words to Fang Yuan, hugged the child and left.
Su's mother and others jumped up with excitement to celebrate that Su Ziqing's first child was a son.
If you give birth to a son, your status in the Fang family will be stable.
Although Du Miaoyan's first child was also a boy, it did not affect Su Ziqing's stability.
Mother is more valuable than son, so from now on Fang Yuan’s family property will always be shared by his son.
Soon, the midwife showed up again and said that the inside had been cleaned and it was ready to go in.
Naturally, Fang Yuan could only go in alone, and Su’s mother and the others would have to wait a little longer before they could go in.
Mothers and children are in great need at this time, so too many people cannot enter at the same time to affect them.
Fang Yuan, Su's mother and others entered the delivery room after exchanging a few words.
Several midwives saluted Fang Yuan and then retreated to the door.
Fang Yuan approached and found that Su Ziqing was asleep.
Looking at the baby again, I found that he was also asleep.
Likewise, this baby was quite ugly when he was born.
"Husband."
When Fang Yuan was lost in thought, he suddenly heard Su Ziqing's weak cry.
"I'm here."
Fang Yuan came back to his senses and sat next to Su Ziqing.
"Is it a boy or a girl?"
Su Ziqing knew she was born.
But the moment she was born, she fell into a coma.
So much so that she still doesn’t know whether she is giving birth to a boy or a girl.
"It's a man, thank you for your hard work."
Fang Yuan held her hand and whispered.
"That's good, that's good. Have you chosen a name?"
Su Ziqing's hanging heart finally let go.
As long as it's a man, don't worry that Fang Yuan won't like it, and don't worry that you won't be able to stand in Fang Mansion.
In short, it’s fine if it’s a man.
"Fang Jinpan, the rock's rock!"
Fang Yuan has already thought of a name.
"Fang Jinpan Fang Jinpan."
Su Ziqing murmured, turning to look at the baby placed next to her, her motherly glory bursting out.
This is his son. The son he gave birth to is called Fang Jinpan, the second son of the Fang family.
"Have a good rest and let your mother and the others come in later."
Fang Yuan whispered.
It can be seen that Su Ziqing is very tired.
Two whole hours, four hours, ordinary people can't bear it.
"Well, stay with me for a while."
Su Ziqing withdrew her gaze and looked at Fang Yuan.
Her eyes were blurred and full of complex colors.
It's good that my bad fate can end like this.
In confusion, Su Ziqing fell into sleep.
Fang Yuan accompanied Su Ziqing for a while and left the delivery room after feeling that Su Ziqing was asleep.
At this time, when Su Ziqing should rest the most, she couldn't disturb her too much, so Fang Yuan didn't let Su's mother and others come in.
Su's mother and others knew that Su Ziqing was asleep, so they understood and did not force them to go in to see Su Ziqing.
Soon, the news came out that Fang Yuan had another son.
For a while, congratulations continued, and congratulations came one after another.
Some dignitaries even coaxed and said that they wanted to learn from Fang Yuan and ask how to have a son.
In this age where sons are valued over daughters, only having a son can be recognized, which is why Su Ziqing relaxed after learning that she was giving birth to a son.
In the evening, there was a grand banquet in Fang Mansion, but the guests were all his own people. The child's celebration was a hundred-day banquet, not now.
During the banquet, Fang Yuan drank frequently, almost falling down with everyone in the Su family, and did not send them back until very late.
Before going to bed, Fang Yuan visited Su Ziqing and Fang Jinpan, stayed with them for a while, and left after Su Ziqing fell asleep.
Finally, when leaving the delivery room and preparing to sleep, Fang Yuan received an important message.
Something happened to Qin Huaiyu, he lost contact, and his life and death were unknown. Changes also occurred within Goguryeo.
