Li Yu didn't finish his words. He had to think for a while before he could say it. After all, if he spoke too fast, people would think that he had an ulterior motive and deliberately made trouble for Yang Guozhong. Moreover, he hadn't thought about how to say it.
However, Li Yu worried too much. Before he opened his mouth, Du Fu had already spoken.
"Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon is right. However, although I didn't do it on purpose, after all, I indirectly caused the death of Stupid Liu. If I don't write a mourning article to commemorate Stupid Liu, I really can't feel at ease. I really can't feel at ease!"
Du Fu still blamed himself, so he decided to write a mourning article for Stupid Liu and repent for his unintentional mistake.
Li Yu was naturally very happy when he heard it. Du Fu's mourning article would definitely not be kept as a collection. It would inevitably be published in the Tang dynasty newspaper. As long as Du Fu published his mourning article, it would definitely cause a great response. In this way, more people would know what happened in the Censor's Mansion, and Yang Guozhong's reputation would also be greatly affected. This was absolutely a great thing for Li Yu.
However, if this mourning article could be placed on the front page of the official journal, its influence would be even greater. Li Yu hoped that Du Fu could put the mourning article on the front page of the official journal.
"Chief Editor Du is really a person who values friendship and righteousness. This is also good. It's also good to write a mourning article for Stupid Liu. In this way, the deceased can rest in peace."
Li Yu said with approval. After a pause, he said casually, "Chief Editor Du's mourning article will be published in the Tang dynasty newspaper, right?"
Du Fu nodded and said, "Of course. I don't care. I admit my unintentional mistake in front of the world. The Tang dynasty newspaper has more and more pages. Just find a place to write it."
When Li Yu heard that, he hurriedly interrupted, "Eh, how can this be? Chief Editor Du's eulogy should be on the front page. After all, Chief Editor Du wrote about Idiot Liu's incident on the front page. Now, the eulogy should also be on the front page. What do you think, Chief Editor Du? "
"Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon is right. It's not a bad idea to put it on the front page. This is the best tribute to Idiot Liu. Let's put it on the front page then."
Li Yu's words easily convinced Du Fu. Du Fu felt that it was very reasonable. Li Yu was the chief editor of the Tang dynasty newspaper. It was not difficult for him to put his own content in the headlines. He still had the final say.
Seeing that his purpose had been achieved, Li Yu was very satisfied. His original purpose of coming to the Tang dynasty government office this time was to deal with the underground parking lot. Although this matter was delayed, he learned that Yang Guozhong's mansion had an accident again. Therefore, instead of being disappointed, he was quite happy.
"Chief Editor Du, you are busy! I still have something to deal with, so I will go back first. "
Li Yu felt that there was no need to continue to stay in the Tang dynasty government office. He still had to go to the construction site to inspect.
"I will send Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon off."
Du Fu felt that he was a little rude just now, so he hurriedly said respectfully.
"No need, no need. Chief Editor Du should save some time to write the eulogy! The dead are the most important, the dead are the most important! "
Li Yu patted Du Fu on the shoulder and then left.
Walking out of the Tang dynasty government office, Li Yu was in a good mood. Although Idiot Liu was dead, he did him a big favor. No matter how Idiot Liu died, as long as he died in the Censor's Mansion, it was a kind of damage to Yang Guozhong's reputation. This was naturally what he wanted to see.
Du Fu was very sad. After calming down for a while, he returned to his room and began to write the eulogy. The next morning, his eulogy was on the front page of the Tang dynasty newspaper.
At noon, Yang Guozhong returned to his residence. However, his mood was obviously not very good. One reason was that something happened at home early in the morning. Naturally, he was in a bad mood. Another reason was that he did not have a good time in the palace.
He tried to sound out the Emperor's mind by beating around the bush. However, Li Longji did not say anything. He even said that he hoped Li Linfu could recover soon and continue to lead the officials to be loyal to him.
However, after returning to his residence, Yang Guozhong did not think about the imperial court anymore. He was very concerned about what happened at home.
"Butler, have you done what I asked you to do?"
After returning to his residence, the first thing Yang Guozhong asked was about Idiot Liu jumping into the well.
The butler was very scared, but he still had to face the problem.
"Alang, he has been fished out and transported outside the city. I guess he has been buried by now!"
The butler said.
Yang Guozhong nodded with satisfaction. After a pause, he said, "Is everything going well? You didn't leak the news, did you? "
Hearing that, the butler was so scared that he knelt on the ground and did not dare to answer for a while.
Seeing this, Yang Guozhong was very dissatisfied and said angrily, "What's wrong? Things didn't go well."
"Ah Lang, things didn't go well," said the steward with a trembling voice. "Those useless fellows in the house didn't dare to fish up the bodies in the well. They were worried that they might accidentally break the bodies and enrage the undead. This lowly one really had no other choice but to send someone outside to ask them to salvage the bodies, which caused some delay. But this lowly one has repeatedly warned the servants who went out not to speak carelessly, and even gave double the reward to those who came to salvage the bodies. I also told them to keep their mouths shut and not go out to speak carelessly."
"Shut up, how did you do your job? How could you ask outsiders to come in and fish out the body? The people in the residence are a bunch of trash. They are all trash."
Yang Guozhong was already full of anger. At this time, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and roared.
"Alang, please forgive me. It's all my fault."
The butler did not dare to say anything. He admitted his fault.
"Forget it, such a big thing is probably difficult to hide. It's not all your fault, it's not all your fault! Go down! Go down! "
Yang Guozhong was very upset, but it was useless to blame his subordinates. It could not solve any problems.
After the butler left, Yang Guozhong lay in a chair and closed his eyes, thinking about the recent events in his residence.
Although these things were trivial, they were enough to have a certain impact on him. After all, he was now more favored and lived in the spotlight. In his own residence, even if it was just a little thing, it would cause a big response and attract the attention of the whole world.
It was lonely at the top. At this moment, Yang Guozhong felt it thoroughly. If it were an ordinary merchant's family, the same situation as his own family would certainly not attract so much attention.
However, after feeling that it was lonely at the top, Yang Guozhong was also reflecting on what caused his family to have one accident after another. Was it deliberately arranged by someone, or did he usually spoil his servants too much, or was he too domineering, which led to the tragedy?
In short, Yang Guozhong felt that it was time to reflect. He must reflect carefully. Otherwise, what would happen next?
After careful analysis, he felt that the source of the matter was just an evil servant who accidentally offended the princess. It was a complete accident. Because the servant did not recognize the princess, it was normal for him to be a little arrogant. This was also because the Yang family was favored, so the servant also had a strong aura. It was completely impossible to tell that it was a set up.
The subsequent crying incident of Stupid Liu was caused by him driving the innocent Stupid Liu out in anger. But there was a problem in this. The evil servant who was driven out did not seem to be a smart person. How did he think of going to the government office of the Tang dynasty to complain? Who said that he was given directions?
Finally, after Stupid Liu came back, it was only three days. Why did he suddenly jump into the well? Did he really jump into the well by himself or was he pushed down by someone? If he jumped into the well by himself, what was the reason for him to jump into the well? What was the reason for Idiot Liu to jump into the well? And if he was pushed down by someone, who pushed him? Who wanted to kill Stupid Liu?
After thinking for a long time, Yang Guozhong suddenly turned pale with fright. He felt that he was a suspect. After all, Stupid Liu went to the government office of the Tang dynasty to complain, which caused a lot of damage to his reputation. He was naturally very angry. It was possible that he killed Stupid Liu in anger. At least, some ordinary people were likely to think so.
When he thought of these annoying things, Yang Guozhong felt a headache. He felt that his heart was in a mess. He was very annoyed.
However, at this time, in another mansion, Li Yu was in a very good mood. He suddenly became interested at the moment and asked Princess Shen Zhenzhu to peel nuts for him.
"You just came back from the construction site. Why are you suddenly in such a good mood? What good thing happened?"
Shen Zhenzhu obediently let Li Yu lie in her arms. She gently peeled a nut and put it on Li Yu's lips.
Li Yu skillfully stuck out his tongue, wrapped the nut into his mouth, and chewed gently with a satisfied face.
"Why don't you tell me? Did you meet a beautiful girl? No, it seems that you are much happier than seeing a beautiful girl. What on earth can make my king so happy?"
Shen Zhenzhu asked with a smile.
The relationship between the husband and wife was very good. It could be said that they were very loving. After all, Li Yu's current identity was just an imperial grandson. He did not hold the power of the empire, and it was unlikely that he would marry too many concubines. If he became the emperor, it would be very difficult to continue to favor one person so much.
There were too many examples like this. Many emperors had at most a few women before they ascended the throne. Once they ascended the throne, there would be more and more concubines. Even if the emperor wanted to marry only one, it was impossible. The ministers would not agree. They would force the emperor to marry a few more on the grounds of carrying on the family line.
In the royal family, being an imperial grandson could only be regarded as a little rich at most. Ascending the throne was a real success. It was like an ordinary man in the future. He suddenly stood out and became a famous rich man. Then, the desire that had been suppressed in his heart would be released, and he would become completely different from before. From the ordinary honest man before, he would become a playboy. He would abandon his wife who had accompanied him for many years.
Of course, there were those who didn't have a change of heart. However, it was hard for outsiders to tell whether a person would have a change of heart or not. Even the person himself couldn't tell. In Li An's opinion, it was very rare to see a playboy who wouldn't change at all. He himself already had many wives and maids.
In history, before he ascended the throne, he only had two or three concubines. After he ascended the throne, he suddenly had more than a dozen. Moreover, he was quite heartless. Shen Zhenzhu, whom he doted on previously, was in Luoyang City, and Li Yu did not bring her back to Chang 'an in time. As a result, after the rebel army reoccupied Luoyang, Shen Zhenzhu's complete disappearance made Li Yu, who ascended the throne later, quite heartbroken. He sent people to search for her for decades, but he was still unable to find his mother.
However, no matter what, at this moment, Li Yu doted on her the most. After all, Shen Zhenzhu was gentle and virtuous, much better than his wife, Concubine Cui. Many times, Li Yu did not want to see Concubine Cui. He only wanted to be with Shen Zhenzhu at all times.
The reason why Li Yu hated Concubine Cui was that Concubine Cui had a strong personality and liked to be jealous of others. She was not a gentle and satisfying person. The other reason was that Concubine Cui's identity made him unhappy. She was the niece of Concubine Yang, and Li Yu did not have a good impression of the Yang family. If it was not for the emperor's decree, he would not have married Concubine Cui as his wife.
Speaking of which, it was quite sad. Since ancient times, the higher the status of a person, the less they had the right to choose their own wife. Especially the children of the royal family and important ministers, they must accept the emperor's decree. Who they wanted to marry was not up to them. If the emperor said that they must marry someone, they must marry that person. If they dared to disobey, it would be treason.
In addition, if he liked someone, he could also ask the emperor to grant him a marriage, but the person he liked must be someone with a matching identity. If he liked a woman with a humble identity, he could not ask the emperor to grant him a marriage, but he could marry her as a concubine.
Although Li Yu was very unwilling, in this era of the Great Tang, as the eldest grandson of the Emperor, he did not dare to defy the Emperor's decree of marriage. No matter who it was that bestowed upon him, he had to give thanks and accept. Moreover, the Emperor did not randomly bestow marriages. He matched people based on their status and status. As for whether or not the lovers would eventually be married, that was out of the question.
The emperor gave Concubine Yang's niece to Li Yu as his wife, which could be regarded as a move to strengthen the relationship. In ancient times, the upper class was very fond of the trick of strengthening the relationship. Among several great aristocrats, there were frequent marriages. This seemed to be a kind of behavior of keeping the goodies within the family, but in fact, it caused the deterioration of the bloodline. Many hereditary diseases even came to the door, causing the aristocrats to decline more and more.
Li Yu hated Concubine Cui very much, but because Concubine Cui was backed by the favored Yang family, so even if he was dissatisfied, he still treated Concubine Cui well on the surface. The second son born after Li Yu, Li Miao, was the son of Li Yu and Concubine Cui. He was also Li Yu's legitimate son.
