Each and every one of them wanted to defend themselves, but they were often scolded as soon as they opened their mouths. The more they spoke, the more miserable they were scolded. Disobedience, unfilial, disrespect, and even treason were scolded. Of course, not everyone was qualified to receive the last one.
As the saying goes, 'the tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind'. This was probably the best description of Prince Kang and Prince Rui, followed by the Gong Prince. These big trees endured the merciless destruction of Le Chengdi's storm. All their jobs were suspended, and they didn't receive any salary for several years. If it weren't for Ruan Rui Zhong's persuasion before Le Chengdi opened his mouth to remove their titles, Le Chengdi was afraid that he would have overthrown all the powerful princes.
Although in the future, if he wanted to restore his title and remove the imprisonment, it was only a matter of a word from him. But the Emperor also needed a reason to change his orders, and excuses were not so easy to find. Fortunately, Le Chengdi wasn't completely irrational. After scolding his subjects, he found a way out. But thinking about it, it was still difficult to get rid of his anger. Their salary was suddenly increased from three years to ten years. After that, they would all go home and eat their old money. If they dared to stretch their claws, he would directly chop them off.
However, no matter how many years the salary was, basically no one cared. Ten years, no one believed that Le Chengdi could sit on the throne for another ten years. And no matter who ascended the throne, as long as they were still alive, they wouldn't be treated unfairly in terms of salary. No matter what, they would show mercy.
However, Le Chengdi, this angry lion, was not so easy to calm down this time. Including Empress Sun and Imperial Concubine Su, not to mention a group of favored concubines who were related to the previous dynasty. Whenever they said a word, he would immediately give them a cold face, "the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics", and then leave in a huff.
The concubines also became silent, not daring to say a word. Of course, the current situation was that Le Chengdi didn't go to their palace at all. They couldn't see him, so what else could they say? They began to play tricks again. After the two concubines were demoted one after another, they didn't dare to make any more moves. — — Of course, only the favored concubines would do this kind of thing.
Le Chengdi didn't go to the harem? This was not the case. These days, he had been resting in Consort Qin Shu's Sweet Dew Palace almost every night. Now, in the imperial court and the harem, it seemed that this was the only place that could make him feel peaceful. Perhaps Qin Shufei was not a tactful person, but she was gentle and quiet. Perhaps because Le Chengdi did not like her, she was naturally not the understanding flower in Le Chengdi's heart. It was just that when he was irritable, he always felt more comfortable with her.
Speaking of which, Le Chengdi was a complete scumbag, a typical example of a heartless man.
When Le Chengdi held a court assembly, no one who was qualified to attend could be left out. This was the reason why Li Hongyuan attended court.
Everyone outside the main hall looked at the late arrival of Jin Qinwang. He still had that undisciplined posture, that handsome appearance, as if nothing could affect him. It really made people very jealous and very angry. Everyone's hair was turning white. For many days, even if there was a happy occasion at home, they could not reveal a smile. Not to mention the palace servants who served Le Chengdi, they did not dare to breathe loudly. Usually, they would do everything they could to get close to Le Chengdi. Now that they got a "good job", they could only grit their teeth and open their mouths in hatred. They secretly hated that the people above were not good. In the past, they used all kinds of benefits, said all kinds of good words, but they did not have the chance to show their faces. Now …
Who wants to put Jin Qinwang in a gunnysack? Raise your hand and sign up. Let's team up and put the gunnysack!
No matter what they thought, when Li Hongyuan approached, they still had to pay their respects and greet him.
Just as Li Hongyuan said, his appearance was already giving face. Now that he nodded in response, the other party should feel flattered.
Only Luo Peishan, as his wife's biological grandfather, could make him lower his posture and say a few words.
However, the main topic of their conversation was probably Jingwan. It seemed to be "harmonious", but it was more or less a little strange.
It was just that Li Hongyuan's timing was more accurate. With just a few words, before the others could say anything, the court assembly began. Civil and military officials lined up in the main hall, preparing for Le Chengdi's arrival.
In this regard, Le Chengdi almost didn't let anyone off. After all, this court assembly didn't happen every day. If he could fish for two days and dry the net for three days, then he could be a pure fatuous ruler. Sitting high on the dragon throne, he looked down at the people below and shouted "Long live" three times with a calm face. However, looking at Li Hongyuan who was obediently among them, this bastard at least didn't embarrass him this time. Among the adult princes, he was the only one who wasn't affected at all. He felt very comforted.
If the others knew Le Chengdi's thoughts, would they vomit blood in anger? If they had as much money as Li Hongyuan, they wouldn't have done anything to the salt policy!
However, those who knew the real situation of Li Hongyuan only wanted to laugh at Le Chengdi. Although they didn't know the details, how could the living King of Hell be indifferent to such a fat piece of meat like the salt policy? Don't joke! It was hard to say how much money would eventually fall into his hands.
This incident seemed to be unintentionally implicated because of the Academy Examination, but no one would believe that Li Hongyuan wasn't involved in it, especially those who clearly knew that Li Hongyuan wanted to touch Prince Rui's money. As for the others, sorry, they were all implicated by Prince Rui.
The victim didn't know, and the victim didn't know. Because everyone was implicated, no one suspected that this incident was deliberately set up. They only thought that they were too unlucky.
Le Chengdi's purpose today was very simple. How to deal with these two incidents?
Whether it was the Academy Examination or the salt policy, they were not trivial matters. The former could be said to be related to the future of Qi Yuan. Nearly 40% of the Qi Yuan's officials were sent from Jiangnan. If it was really serious, the other officials from Jiangnan would not be indifferent. Maybe some people would take this opportunity to do something bad, and the consequences could be imagined. As for the salt policy, a large proportion of Qi Yuan's finance also came from this. If there was a disaster or war, the national treasury was likely to be in trouble. Originally, the south had just suffered a big flood, and now the situation at the border was a little strange. How could Le Chengdi not be furious?
This time, he sent people to Jiangnan to conduct a thorough investigation. Who would be the imperial envoy? This was the most important point.
Because of the wide range of connections, there were too few suitable people, and it was difficult to be impartial. The suitable people either had low status and couldn't control the situation. Even if they had the token given by the emperor and received the emperor's order, they still said beautiful words and disobeyed in public but disobeyed in private. You couldn't easily deal with them. Or they were in a high position and couldn't leave. No one had ever heard of a Level One official being the imperial envoy. In short, all parties recommended a lot of people, but there were always people who strongly opposed.
In the entire court, there was no suitable person to be found. Le Chengdi's face turned green again.
"Beloved Official Ruan, do you have a suitable candidate?"
Ruan Rui Zhong stood out, "Emperor, why not let Jin Qinwang be the imperial envoy?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Imperial Court fell deathly silent. Following this, many people voiced their objections in unison.
Ruan Rui Zhong was neither fast nor slow as he faced the officials, "This official only asks everyone, why do you oppose? Who can be more suitable than Jin Qinwang? "
Why oppose? Naturally, it was because Jin Qinwang was useless and didn't know anything. What could he do if he went? Of course, they couldn't say it like that. In the end, he was the Emperor's son. If the Emperor reprimanded him like this, he could dislike him as much as he liked, but it was absolutely not up to these officials to make irresponsible remarks.
"Emperor, the last time Ninth Wangye went to the west as an imperial envoy, the symbolic meaning was greater than the actual meaning. This time, Jin Qinwang doesn't need to do anything, he only needs to suppress the officials in Jiangnan to achieve his goal. What kind of temper Jin Qinwang has, everyone knows. He received the Emperor's order. If he says one, who dares to say two? If he asks people to investigate thoroughly, who dares to do it half-heartedly? Moreover, Jin Qinwang has countless wealth and has seen countless beauties. No one can buy him off. He has no relationship with the various parties in the court. In this official's opinion, even if this matter has nothing to do with his Wangye, there is no more suitable candidate than Jin Qinwang."
The words were so straightforward, and the fact was so, it made people speechless.
With Jin Qinwang's temper, taking the Emperor's position was simply equivalent to taking the imperial sword that didn't exist in the Qi Yuan dynasty. Killing first and reporting later, it was absolutely not a game. Moreover, he was a Prince. With the title of Prince, if he killed you, then he killed you. What can you do to him? Even if you went to hell, you would have nowhere to complain.
But it was also because of this that if he was appointed as an imperial envoy, then this time, Jiangnan would definitely be shaken. Who knows how many people would die, those who would be pulled down would definitely be more, and all parties would suffer heavy losses. This was absolutely not what some people wanted to see. They all racked their brains to stop it, but they really couldn't find a suitable reason.
"Emperor, this official agrees." Luo Peishan was the first to stand up, and then, many people expressed their agreement.
And looking at Le Chengdi's expression, it seemed that he was also very moved. Without a doubt, there was no more suitable candidate than this son. As for the worry that he would take the opportunity to seize power and buy people's hearts, as long as he let people who were completely loyal to him travel with him, all the problems would not be a problem. Le Chengdi secretly thought that this was very good. "Does anyone else have a suitable person to recommend?"
This basically meant that they had already agreed with the Grand Secretary's proposal?!
Opposition, reason, and candidate, both were indispensable, but no one could do it. Their hearts vomited blood, but they could only pinch their noses and accept it. Therefore, more and more people seconded the proposal. At this time, if they stubbornly resisted to the end, it would only leave a bad impression in front of the Emperor. Did they still want to live?
"You, have you asked for my opinion?" Seeing that almost everyone seconded the proposal, Li Hongyuan very unsociably opened his mouth.
This time, almost everyone choked, but soon, many people's hearts emerged with joy. Who could stop this matter? Probably only the main character. If he didn't do it, even if he was tied up and brought to Jiangnan, as long as he didn't do anything, or did something else, it would only have the opposite effect.
Le Chengdi wanted to get down from the dragon throne and beat this evil creature to death, but he also knew that if this evil creature's temper was really bad, he really couldn't do anything to him. He sighed, "Old Six, are you really not willing to share the burden and solve the difficulties for Imperial Father? This time, as Beloved Official Ruan said, you don't need to do anything. You only need to preside over the overall situation at the appropriate time and let the subordinates work seriously. Just take it as a trip to Jiangnan. What do you think? "
Li Hongyuan frowned. Although he was a person who didn't yield to force or persuasion most of the time, he would occasionally yield to force, but he absolutely wouldn't yield to force. "As for other things, I have the final say?"
Le Chengdi's eyebrows twitched, "Within a reasonable range." If he really let him go, who knew what he would do.
"What is reasonable?" Li Hongyuan tirelessly asked.
Le Chengdi was irritable. Other sons didn't have to go through so much trouble to do things. Understand by yourself, understand? But what could he do? This evil creature was spoiled by him. "Outside of official business, you can eat, drink, and play as you wish. If others don't provoke you, don't casually cause trouble. More specifically, you are not a three-year-old child. "
"I know. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first. When you set off, just let me know."
"Scram, scram." Le Chengdi weakly waved his hand. Sometimes, he wanted to ask, what kind of sin did he commit in the end?
Li Hongyuan slipped away.
After deciding on the imperial envoy, the next step was to choose the main entourage.
Li Hongyuan was only a mascot. These people were the most important. However, because mascots couldn't be provoked, their lethality was too great, so they had to be chosen carefully.
Le Chengdi was too lazy to wrangle with them anymore. With a wave of his hand, he only chose the most suitable person. In other words, no matter who they worked for, Le Chengdi also said the ugly words first. If Jin Qinwang handled it because of official business, not only would he not judge it according to the circumstances, he would also add three levels to the crime. If the circumstances were serious, the entire family would be searched. In order to have more deterrence, he even appointed Zuo Qian of the Blackguard to lead fifty Blackguard to secretly accompany them. They would absolutely carry out Jin Qinwang's orders.
The Blackguard, without a doubt, belonged to the Emperor's dogs. They only obeyed orders. Their execution ability was strong, their means were ruthless, and they killed people like they were scything.
The people who originally had small thoughts and wanted to plan something suddenly lost ninety percent of their enthusiasm. The remaining ten percent, if it wasn't that they didn't put Li Hongyuan in their eyes, it was that they were hoping for a fluke.
Luo Peishan was an expert in this kind of thing. In any case, it wasn't the first time. Moreover, he wouldn't consider any factors other than the ability to do things. In any case, these people, no matter how they jumped around, they wouldn't be his grandson-in-law's opponent. The ones who were seeking death were themselves, it had nothing to do with him.
Le Chengdi had several other ministers make additions and quickly decided on the personnel. Finally, "The Grand Commander of the Imperial Guards will accompany them. They will be fully responsible for Jin Qinwang's safety."
Someone lit a candle for Le Chengdi. Were you sending people to monitor him, or to help him unconditionally?
The matter was urgent and couldn't be delayed for too long. Otherwise, who knew what kind of incident would happen. Therefore, the preparation time was only three days.
On the way back to Li Hongyuan's fu, Jingwan was also dealing with some matters.
The four people, Ci, Ge, and Fu, all asked her to "appoint a marriage".
Jingwan wasn't surprised. As people who were close to the King of Hell, it wasn't strange for them to have the courage to ask for "true love". After she knew that these people weren't Li Hongyuan's people, she also expected this moment. But, four people together? One by one, it would give her some buffer time.
"Why don't we wait for Wangye to come back and ask him?" If it was an ordinary servant girl, she could decide. But in the end, it was Li Hongyuan's personal servant girl. No matter what, she had to ask him personally. There was no other meaning. It was purely out of respect, that's all.
"Wangfei, for such a small matter, just nod your head. Wangye won't have any objections to your decision."
That was also true. That person, regarding these matters, didn't care at all. "Since it's like this, I won't force it. Call them over for me to take a look. Although the time you've served me is short, it's also fate. Not to say that I'm helping you, but at least I should knock some sense into them so that they'll treat you better in the future."
"Many thanks, Wangfei."
Jingwan chuckled, "There's no need for thanks. In the end, they are Wangye's and my people. Although I don't have much ability, at least I have to take good care of the people around me. It's just that you're still young and the marriage isn't urgent. You can take it slowly. You should also hand it over to Mei Lan Zhu Ju and the others. There are many things they don't understand, so you should teach them more. "
"Wangfei, in fact, there's nothing to hand over. After this month, it's almost done. Moreover, the marriage can't be delayed … …" Qing Shi's face was red, her hand intentionally or unintentionally placed on her lower abdomen. This kind of thing was really shameful. But he was very happy. Qing Shi was gradually taking care of him.
Jingwan was a little stunned. Should she say that this was indeed the "Jin Wangye's style", quite valiant? Qing Shi looked calm and steady, but the result was that she was pregnant before marriage!
Even if it was spread out, it probably wouldn't be a big deal. But in the end, it would affect her reputation. Was it really good?
"Does Wangye know about your matters?" Jingwan thought about it. She felt that if a certain someone didn't know, they probably wouldn't have the guts. But as a girl, how could they do this kind of thing for no reason? One was enough, but looking at it, it seemed that all four of them … … It couldn't be that a certain someone told them to find it, right?
Who would have thought that Jingwan accidentally revealed the truth.
"I know."
"Alright, I won't ask anymore. Since it's like this, you can prepare for the marriage with peace of mind. If there's anything, I'll let them find you. Eh, that's not right. When I didn't know, you quietly handed over the matters in your hands. You've been thinking about getting married for a long time? "Jingwan ridiculed.
"Wangfei, please forgive us."
"It's a joyous occasion, what crime?"
Jingwan sent them away and began to 'settle accounts' with her own maidservants. It turned out that all of them were hiding it from them.
In fact, Jingwan's people didn't think of 'seizing power' or anything at the beginning. It was only because they weren't strong enough that they worked hard to learn. Who would have thought that the result would be like this after a month?
At this point, what else could be said?
Li Hongyuan returned to the prince's residence. Jingwan arrived shortly after, "Wan Wan, Imperial Father has ordered me to be an imperial envoy. I've ordered people to pack up and go to Jiangnan."
The matter was too sudden. Jingwan was startled, but then she nodded, "Alright. Does Wangye have any special things that you need to bring? I'll have people prepare them so that we don't miss anything."
"Special things that I need to bring? Besides you, what else? "Li Hongyuan used his hand to intimately rub her cheek.
"I'm going too?" Jingwan was pleasantly surprised.
"Didn't I already tell you that I have something to do in the next two days? Did you forget so quickly? Or do you actually not like it? "
"I like it, of course I like it!"
