When he saw Emperor Jing on the couch, Li Yi once again realized deeply that this wise monarch seemed to be really approaching the end of his life.
The morning dynasty had been at a standstill for almost two months. Emperor Jing, who had hardly broken this rule for more than ten years, would not have done this unless his body was exhausted to a certain extent.
"came back."
Emperor Jing was leaning on the couch, holding something in his hand and looking at it. When he looked at Li Yi, a smile appeared on his face.
Li Yi nodded and said, "I'm back..."
Emperor Jing got off the bed and looked up at him.
"Due to the implementation of the "debit and credit accounting" law, the court has been arguing endlessly for more than a month. Countless officials in Qi State have been confused by this matter. It can be said that the whole court is in chaos..."
"The eldest prince of Qi proposed the method of using silver as a crime, and used silver as a substitute for the crime. Someone pretended to be the censor and the prince's personal guard, and in the name of the crime, they took away 600,000 taels of silver from Bingzhou and disappeared."
"There is deep resentment among the people of Qi over the issue of the crime bank. Within a month, people in three places, totaling about 50,000 people, revolted in anger..."
Emperor Jing looked at Li Yi and said slowly: "Should I let you stay in Qi State for a little longer? It is also a blessing for me, Jing State. If you stay for ten or eight years, this Qi State may be your own."
Dead..."
Li Yi was stunned, shook his head and said: "What is your Majesty talking about, I...I don't understand."
He really doesn't know about the uprising. Even if there is an uprising, it has nothing to do with him. He can't bear all the blame on himself...
To rebel over such a trivial matter, the people of Qi are really glass-hearted!
"As long as everything goes well." Emperor Jing waved his hand, not caring, and said, "In the past few days, you will have a good rest at home, and let other things go for the time being."
The other things he mentioned were naturally related to the academy.
In fact, with the addition of another Academy of Sciences, a few months were enough for him to understand that of the two academies, perhaps the latter was more important, and Li Yi could play a major role no matter where it was.
Even if the old emperor didn't mention this matter, Li Yi would still mention it.
If Ruyi is pregnant, he has been away from home for nearly five months. He is really not a responsible husband. He will naturally have to make up for it in the future. He has no time to worry about other troubles. He has to take two years of paternity leave first.
As for the School of Computer Science, that little guy Li Han is doing a pretty good job. He can just be the Supreme Dean in a safe and stable manner. Opportunities must always be left to these young people.
When Li Yi was thinking about these things, Emperor Jing's eyes were always on him.
Li Yi was kidnapped. This incident was indeed far beyond his expectation. However, his kidnapping could stir up such a big storm in Qi State, arouse the court, and force the people of Qi State to rebel.
, which indirectly eased the friction between the two countries a lot.
Because they have to allocate their energy to deal with the civil strife in Qi...
It was not like he had never thought about the matter of denouncing the crime. He weighed the pros and cons in his mind, but was finally rejected by Li Yi.
At that time, he had some doubts about the seriousness of the matter.
However, after learning the news from Qi State, any trace of doubt in his heart disappeared completely.
Although Li Yi is usually not showy, his vision and judgment rarely make mistakes.
Only this kind of lazy temperament that has never changed has made people helpless from the beginning.
A strange sound came from the hall, interrupting Emperor Jing's thinking, and looked at Li Yi again.
Li Yi touched his stomach with some embarrassment and said, "I was in a hurry just now. I haven't eaten much all day..."
"Ask the catering bureau to prepare something and send it over." Emperor Jing looked at Changde and ordered, "I happen to be a little hungry too."
Li Yi didn't even have time to refuse. In fact, what he meant was...Are you done? Hurry up. When he was done, he went back to eat. There were still a lot of things waiting to be done...
But this sentence cannot be said. If the old emperor is angry to death, he will not be able to defeat Lao Chang...
The catering bureau acted very quickly, and it was probably prepared long ago. Emperor Jing's usual diet was mainly light, and this time was no exception.
Li Yi was not proud at all to be able to eat with the emperor often. When Miss Liu Er was recuperating, they always ate light food. After finally coming back, they had to have some luck, right?
What's more, this is not the only reason.
There was another reason that he couldn't even pinpoint.
The old emperor ate with gusto by himself, and Changde's face relaxed slightly as he watched.
Li Yi raised his head and glanced at Changde. Thinking of what he just said, and looking at the old emperor again, he couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.
You have to eat with yourself to have an appetite. Isn't this some kind of abnormal habit that the old emperor developed during his last visit to Prince Ning's Mansion?
While thinking in his mind, Emperor Jing looked up at him and asked, "Why don't you eat? The food doesn't suit your appetite?"
Li Yi hesitated to speak, and finally asked: "Your Majesty, have you caught the cold these past two days?"
"It's okay now." Emperor Jing coughed lightly and said, "If it doesn't suit your appetite, I'll tell the catering bureau to make something else."
Li Yi looked troubled, "Your Majesty knows that my wife is pregnant and is weak. What if I also catch the cold..."
Emperor Jing was so smart, Li Yi understood what he meant before he finished speaking.
Then the expression on his face was a little dazed.
Is he despising himself?
Dislike the king of a country?
Do you dislike this thing that is regarded as a privilege by countless people?
Even the two prime ministers of the court did not have the honor to have dinner with him. Even if the six ministers got such an honor, they would probably take a bath and fast for three days, be grateful, kneel down and thank the holy grace...
But now, he is actually disliked?
Emperor Jing raised his head and saw the innocent look on his face. His face darkened. He waved his hand and said, "Get out of here right now. Get away as far away as possible..."
"According to the order! I retire!"
Seeing Li Yi sneak out like a rabbit, Chang De looked at Emperor Jing and immediately said: "Your Majesty, calm down, I will catch that kid back right now..."
Emperor Jing waved his hand, a smile appeared on his face again, and said: "Changde, what do you think this boy will be like when he becomes a father?"
Chang De was startled, and the image of him hugging the two princesses just appeared in his mind. He shook his head and did not answer, but he felt in his heart that Marquis Li's children should be very happy...
After walking out of a certain palace, Li Yi's face once again showed a relaxed look.
His worries are not unreasonable. If he is really infected by the old emperor, where can he cry? The sky and the earth are as big as the rites, and everything else will stand aside.
But not long after, the relaxed look gradually disappeared, and a hint of worry appeared between his eyebrows.
It is not known how long the old emperor's body can last. Judging from the current situation, it is really not optimistic.
He no longer has the energy to take care of too many state affairs. What will happen to the court after he completely delegates power?
"I'm afraid I have to make plans early..."
When passing somewhere in the palace, Li Yi stopped habitually.
…
"You, what about you, please be more agile with your hands and feet. Can you afford it if you miss something?"
"And you, what are you looking at? You have nothing to do, right? If you have nothing to do, go wash the dishes over there..."
"Hurry up. Do you think you don't have ears?"
The boss of the catering bureau was lecturing, and a group of people stood in a row in front of him. He enjoyed this feeling very much. In this small place, he was the absolute master.
Starting from one day a few months ago, his feeling became stronger and stronger.
Every time he saw these people standing in front of him with their heads down and trembling, an inexplicable sense of satisfaction would emerge in their hearts.
This sense of satisfaction was destroyed when several people in front raised their heads and looked behind him.
"Where are your eyes looking!"
His face darkened, and when he was about to lecture, there were footsteps behind him.
Zhang Tan turned around and saw that familiar figure walking in from the outside. His whole body trembled, and something in his heart that had been built up with great difficulty was shattered.
"Let's use the kitchen."
A demonic voice sounded in his ears again after a few months.
…
…
Morning Dew Hall.
The woman tossed and turned, the sword energy whistling, and ordinary people's eyesight could not even follow her movements.
The white-haired old woman stood in the corridor, looking at the figure in front of her, and sighed leisurely.
A maid came over with a food box in her hand and said, "Mother Rong, the food bureau has sent food over."
"I know, you go down first." The old woman took the food box and placed it on the stone table aside. She took out the food inside, raised her head and said, "Princess, let's eat something first."
Li Mingzhu sheathed her sword, walked over and said, "Leave it for now, I don't have much appetite now."
As she walked into the hall, a breeze blew by, bringing some of the aroma of the food.
Li Mingzhu paused, turned her head, and walked straight to the stone table.
Aunt Rong watched her pick up the plate of golden egg-fried rice, which was the princess's favorite food. However, in the past few months, she had never touched the egg-fried rice sent by the Food Bureau.
Li Mingzhu picked up the spoon and took a small sip. Suddenly, a glimmer of light appeared in her beautiful eyes.
Then she put down the spoon, raised a hand, and grabbed the arm that sneaked up from behind her. She put down the plate of egg fried rice and stepped forward.
boom!
Li Yi was pressed against the pillar outside the hall by her. The face he had not seen for a long time but was not unfamiliar at all was very close to him. He could even see the slight twitching of her eyelashes.
Her Royal Highness the Princess was still as domineering as before, with an arm on his chest. The two of them could even feel each other's breathing. In this situation, Li Yi didn't know if he should close his eyes to show his cooperation.
Today's second first kiss was snatched away by her...
