Li Yi and Li Xuan were waiting outside the palace. When an imperial doctor came out, Li Xuan walked over quickly and asked anxiously: "How is Uncle Huang?"
The imperial doctor sighed softly and shook his head.
Li Xuan's expression changed, he grabbed his collar and asked, "Is it serious?"
"Why did Your Highness say this?" The imperial doctor said in surprise: "Your Majesty was only temporarily stimulated and his mood was too fluctuating, which led to a recurrence of the disease..."
Li Xuan felt relieved and glared at him, "Then why did you shake your head just now?"
"My neck was a little stiff just now, so I moved it a bit..."
The imperial doctor sighed, and then said: "However, you still need to pay more attention in the future. Your Majesty's condition really cannot bear much stimulation."
"Get out, get out, get out!" Li Xuan put his foot on the doctor's butt and waved his hand impatiently.
After the eunuch informed them, the two entered the main hall. Emperor Jing lay on a soft couch inside and waved to them from a distance.
Li Xuan walked over quickly and said: "Uncle Huang, the dragon body is important. You can leave these matters in the court to Mingzhu. If they want to kneel, let them kneel and die in the palace. It will save trouble."
"What stupid words are you talking about?" Prince Ning glared at him, "If you let the current imperial master kneel and die in the golden palace, how will you let the people in the world talk about your majesty?"
"It's nothing to me." Emperor Jing shook his head, looked at Li Yi, and said: "It makes you feel wronged. You have done good things that benefit the country and the people, and will have lasting results, but you are treated as a sycophant..."
Li Yi looked at Emperor Jing's pale face and said: "The merits and demerits of right and wrong will be judged by future generations. What's more, the people are not stupid people, and they can't play with them if they want. I believe that this world will naturally return its favor to me."
A justice.”
Seeing the tired look on his face, Li Xuan stood up and said, "Uncle Huang, have a good rest and we won't disturb you anymore."
After exiting the hall, the smile on Li Xuan's face immediately disappeared and he said angrily: "Are these old guys trying to force the palace to rebel?"
Li Yi patted him on the shoulder and said: "You, you just can't keep calm when something happens. Don't worry, go over and take a look first..."
In the main hall, Emperor Jing covered his chest, coughed a few times, and then said slowly: "I can feel that my time is running out."
Prince Ning's eyes showed sadness: "Brother Emperor..."
Emperor Jing looked outside the palace, and after a long time he said: "I also thought at first that in fact, you should take this seat..."
Before he could finish speaking, Prince Ning immediately bowed and said, "Brother, this is absolutely impossible!"
"I know that you don't want to be trapped in this position, otherwise, it should be you who is lying here now." Emperor Jing narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "This world should ultimately belong to their young people...
"
Prince Ning nodded and said, "Neither Mingzhu nor Xuan'er let us down."
"The Cui family is so ambitious..." Emperor Jing looked at Prince Ning again, "This time, I'm afraid you will have to go back to Qing'an Mansion in person."
King Ning bowed and said in a deep voice: "My brother obeys the order!"
…
When Li Yi and Li Xuan walked to the main hall, they happened to meet Li Mingzhu walking out and asked: "What's going on inside?"
Li Mingzhu shook his head and said: "More than twenty people, headed by Master Chu, are still kneeling inside."
Li Yi walked into the hall and saw that except for a group of people kneeling on the ground, the other courtiers had left. The old man at the front was kneeling on the ground. He must be the Master Chu whom he had met twice.
He walked to the front, and Taifu Chu slowly raised his head when he heard the footsteps.
Li Yi quickly waved his hand and said: "Master Taifu, there is no need to be polite. Please get up quickly. I really don't deserve such a big gift from you..."
"Be bold!"
"presumptuous!"
…
Before Master Chu could speak, a series of stern voices came from behind him. The four great scholars looked at him with angry expressions, while the court officials behind him all retracted their necks and did not say a word.
Taifu Chu looked calm and said calmly: "I kneel to the world and the ancestral system. When the king is ill, he should establish the East Palace to stabilize the court and calm the people's hearts. This is the rule set by the ancestors. Do you really want to be that person?"
A sycophant who disregards the ancestral system and brings trouble to the world?"
"This junior cannot bear such a heavy crime." Li Yi shook his head, bent down, and whispered: "This junior is just worried that Lingsun, a young man in his prime, will hurt his legs and feet if he kneels for a long time. It's too much."
At such a young age, Mr. Fu, if he kneels down again and collapses, Mr. Cui, who does not want to be named, will be very sad, right?"
The old man looked at him, his eyes suddenly condensed, "What did you say?"
Li Yi looked at him and asked: "Forming cliques for personal gain, and the Golden Palace forcing the emperor. Is this the righteousness of the Grand Tutor who has the bones of Jingguo?"
Master Chu's eyes narrowed slightly and he said coldly: "I am so righteous that I cannot allow you to judge me!"
"Master Taifu has a distinguished reputation, and the younger generation cannot judge him." Li Yi lowered his voice again and said slowly: "I wonder if those women who were ravaged by your grandson and suffered severe physical and mental injuries can be judged?"
"you!"
Taifu Chu's expression changed. He stood up tremblingly on crutches, pointed the crutch at him, and said in a trembling voice: "You, you treacherous sycophant, don't try to smear the name of my Chu family!"
"The Chu family's century-old reputation is hard-earned. Master Taifu, think twice and don't gamble with it casually." Li Yi shook his head and turned to leave.
Several people in the hall looked at Taifu Chu, who was standing there blankly, and looked at each other. An old man finally couldn't help but asked: "Master Chu..."
Taifu Chu waved his hand and said: "Everyone, get up. We will discuss this matter in the long run after we go back."
Seeing several people exiting the hall from a distance, Li Xuan asked doubtfully: "What did you just say to the old man?"
Li Yi watched the group of people go away and said, "I told him that the old man is weak and kneeling for a long time is not good for his health."
"that's it?"
"Otherwise, what else?" Li Yi shook his head and said, "This is for his own good. If he still doesn't listen, he can only blame himself..."
Li Xuan shook his head and said decisively: "Impossible, that stubborn old man is like a stone. Not to mention breaking two legs on his knees, even if he kneels to death, he will not compromise easily."
Li Yi waved his hand and said: "Okay, actually I told him that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that if they don't get up, they will all have their heads chopped off and hang them at the gate of the palace as lanterns. The Chu family will be confiscated and exterminated, and the men will be exiled.
, the woman was sold to a brothel, and she was not allowed to sleep without accepting a hundred customers a day... I asked him if he was afraid!"
Li Xuan was stunned and murmured: "Isn't this too cruel?"
Li Yi patted his shoulder again and said, "If you weren't so cruel, they wouldn't be afraid..."
…
Outside the palace gate, Cui Qingming slowly followed Taifu Chu and said, "Don't worry, Taifu, all the evidence about that matter has been destroyed. What he said is a slander and frame-up. Now, no matter it is
Whatever he did, even if he brought those women to correct him, people would just think that he was desperate and couldn't make any trouble."
His eyes flickered and he said firmly: "Now the situation has been decided. As long as Taifu exerts a little more effort, great things can be expected..."
