Happy Little Scholar

Ideals are often very full, but reality is much crueler and skinny.

Wu Zetian is famous not because she is a female emperor, but because she is the "only" female emperor in China for thousands of years.

Frankly speaking, if Her Royal Highness the Princess can imitate this person, Li Yi will definitely approve it with both hands, but the problem is that it is useless if he is the only one who agrees.

When a woman became emperor and risked the disapproval of the world, it was not only the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty who opposed it, but also the people of the world could not agree. It took Wu Zetian decades to complete this eternal feat, which involved many things. Things are complicated and her success cannot be replicated. Otherwise, why would there be only one empress in thousands of years?

Her Highness the Princess has no hope. She only hopes that the old emperor can survive for two more years. No one can take advantage of the throne, but King Shu...

In the past twenty years, Li Yi never thought that there would be a day when he would have to worry about who would be the emperor...

"Being a human being is boring..." Throwing those complicated thoughts out of his mind, he suddenly felt tired. Now he just wanted to go home, lie in bed and have a good sleep.

However, even the wish to go home and sleep immediately, which is not a wish at all, is not that easy to realize.

"Master Li, please stay."

Just as Li Yi lowered his head and walked, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

King Li Xian of Shu is not living a good life these days.

Of course, his bad life was not because he was worried about his father's health and had trouble sleeping and eating, and he was losing weight day by day. It was also not because Jingguo's domestic and foreign affairs were at a delicate juncture. He had the world in mind and was worried about state affairs...

It's just because the censor named Wan Xu is a complete bastard, and he actually impeached him for behaving inappropriately when his father was seriously ill...

He, Li Xian, dared to tell his conscience that there was nothing wrong with his behavior. He was inviting a banquet at the palace as usual, eating and drinking as he should, no more or less than once. How could this be so inappropriate?

That bastard named Wan Xu revealed this matter when Prime Minister Qin praised him as rare in heaven, unparalleled in the world, and a good candidate to become the prince. I heard that Qin Prime's face turned dark at that time. , I made a special trip to visit him twice, but was blocked both times. He didn't even enter the Qin Mansion's gate.

The once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was ruined in Wan Xu's hands. The King of Shu wished he could cut that guy into pieces with a thousand knives, but he only thought about it in his heart.

Censors are all bastards who cannot be offended. Li Xuan is the same, and so is Wan Xu. Not to mention that he is still just the king of Shu. Even if he becomes the emperor in the future, he will not be able to touch those people casually. As one of the officials, They are the most upright and upright people in the world. They choose this or that all day long, even the emperor will not let them go. They even wish that the emperor would chop off their heads, so that their names can be remembered in history and be famous for generations. Compared with their lives, a good reputation is more valuable. They are more important.

The killing of censors has not happened since the founding of Jingguo. If you don't want to become a tyrant recorded in later generations, it is best not to even think about it.

When the King of Shu entered the palace this time, he specially came to pretend to be a dutiful son.

A bad impression has been planted. He must quickly show more courtesy in front of his father and increase his sense of presence. Otherwise, he won't know how to explain to Prime Minister Qin.

The officials have not yet gone to court. Recently, due to the problem of the two cities of Qi, the officials have been unable to unify their opinions and are in a stalemate. Therefore, the morning court often ends very late. If the morning court does not go down, the father will naturally not come out. The king has to wait here a little longer.

He didn't wait until the end of the dynasty, but an unexpected person came.

"Master Li, please stay."

Seeing Li Yi walking past him, seemingly ignoring his existence, the King of Shu looked at his back and suddenly spoke.

Hearing the voice coming from behind, Li Yi turned around. When he saw a figure standing there, his expression was stunned, and then he cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness, King of Shu, is there something wrong?"

"It's nothing important." King Shu took a step forward and said with a smile: "Last time we left the palace, I never saw Mr. Li again. I cannot apologize to Mr. Li in person. I have always felt deeply in my heart. Guilt.”

"Apologise?"

Li Yi looked at the King of Shu, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd, or did he take the wrong medicine when he came out in the morning?

"Last time, I didn't understand the whole story, which made Li Xianzi feel wronged." The King of Shu actually cupped his fists and bowed slightly to Li Yi. With his identity and status, it was extraordinary to be able to make such an action. It’s rare.

"Your Highness is serious. I didn't remember what happened last time." No matter what kind of medicine was sold in King Shu's gourd, Li Yi still remembers the ruthless way he turned his face last time, but it's not easy to face him in person. With a broken face, he said calmly.

The corners of King Shu's mouth twitched involuntarily, didn't he remember it in his heart? He didn't remember that he was so cruel to Qin Yu the next day. When he went to the Qin Mansion to see him afterwards, he almost didn't recognize that the swollen pig head was Mr. Qin...

However, what concerned the King of Shu was not Mr. Qin, but Li Yi, who caused all this. However, it was as if nothing had happened. Later, according to the county captain who went to the county mansion to arrest people, Li Yi actually There is a token from the Secret Service...

The moment he heard the news, the King of Shu realized that he had underestimated his father's regard for County Prince Li. He was even willing to give him the secret agent's token. This could be said to be a sign of deep love. .

The cleverness of the King of Shu is that he knows that his father is very clever, which can often save him a lot of trouble.

He and Li Yi have some grievances, but in the face of certain things, these grievances are not worth mentioning at all. The King of Shu believes that this Li County should also understand this truth.

What's more, he has just done the best he can do. The dignified King of Shu, the future emperor, has apologized to him in person. What else does he want?

After expressing his attitude, the King of Shu did not continue on the previous topic. He looked at Li Yi and said with a smile: "The officials in the court have been arguing about the opposition to the prince in recent days. Li County is highly valued by my father. I wonder what Li County thinks about this?"

This is a naked test, or a way to win over. This Li County is also a smart person and will understand what he means.

"What do you think?" Li Yi said in surprise: "I am not in the court, so I can't see or hear what happens in the court. Your Highness may have asked the wrong person."

The King of Shu looked at Li Yi straight, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

Some things don't need to be said very clearly, but anyone can understand them, and the King of Shu also understood what Li Yi said just now.

He looked at Li Yi expressionlessly and said: "Does County Li really not want to help this king?"

The King of Shu had a cold expression, and the surprise and astonishment on Li Yi's face gradually faded.
