Happy Little Scholar

Chapter 901: Flatterer

Kyoto has always been a troubled place, but in recent days, there have been too many things.

First, during the Lantern Festival, a fugitive killed people with cruel means, and then a woman disappeared inexplicably near Kyoto. The arrest warrants for the fugitive have been posted all over Kyoto, but there is still no result. The case of the missing woman has been solved, but it is not perfect. Two women have not been found yet.

Later, the envoys of Qi State came all the way to negotiate peace. The propaganda was quite enthusiastic for two days, but later it was also in vain, and there was no news.

Then in mid-April, it was said that several famous Confucian scholars, led by the Grand Tutor, forced the emperor to issue an order to summon the eldest son, the King of Shu, back to Beijing and live in the East Palace...

Why was the King of Shu expelled from Beijing at that time? Everyone knew in their hearts. If he took another step forward, it would be equivalent to the serious crime of treason. Expulsion was already a mercy outside the law.

It is said that on that day in the palace, His Majesty was so angry that his old illness relapsed. The Grand Tutor and others knelt in the palace for a long time. They didn't know what happened next. Anyway, the imperial edict to summon the King of Shu back has not been issued yet.

It is said that Grand Tutor Chu and those great scholars are preparing to carry out some "cleansing the emperor's side" activities, targeting the most favored Jinzi Guanglu doctor, Li Yi Lixianhou.

The people all know how many good things Lixianhou and the princess have done for the people of the world and let many people live a good life, but this kind of thing is planned by those upper-class scholars, and they can't participate at all, and of course they won't participate.

After all, this matter was led by the Grand Tutor, who is a saint-like existence in the hearts of the people. Even those who are very firm in their hearts will be shaken a little when they think of this.

This is a game between big men, and they can only watch from afar.

What is strange is that no matter how the other party slanders, Lixianhou has never taken any action, which makes it difficult for countless people to guess.

After all, this matter not only involves him, but also the officials or forces in Beijing who have some relationship with him have been greatly affected by this matter.

In the Jingdu County Government, County Magistrate Liu is having a headache because of a fight in the street.

Fighting is just a small matter, but when the people fighting are a concubine of the Cui family on one side and a commoner on the other side, and the people of the Cui family are not in the right, the matter becomes a little difficult to handle.

In front of the hall, an old man smiled and said, "Hehe, Lord Liu, how should this case be judged? Please give me a definite answer quickly. My son will have a banquet later."

County Magistrate Liu can't remember when was the last time someone spoke to him like this in the court.

Could it be that the housekeeper of the Cui Mansion thinks that Lord Li is now at a disadvantage, and their Cui family can be more rampant in Jingdu?

He looked at the young man standing in the hall with a look of disdain, waved his hand, and said: "Fighting in the street, disregarding the law and discipline, ten strokes of the cane, expelled from the county government..."

In the court, the young man's face suddenly changed, and he shouted: "You dare!"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and his face became gloomy. He whispered: "Sir Liu, don't forget the identity of my son, and don't forget your identity..."

"Coincidentally, what I am least afraid of is threats, especially the threats from your Cui family..." County Magistrate Liu smiled and said: "This person disturbed the court and dared to threaten me. For your age, I will not beat him, and throw him out together."

Seeing the yamen runners dragging the two away, the smile on his face gradually faded, his fists clenched, looking at the sky, and muttered: "Sir Li, what are you thinking about?"

His face was sometimes confused, sometimes hesitant, sometimes worried, and sometimes fearful. After such a change for a while, all kinds of complex emotions turned into decisiveness.

He walked outside the hall and told a yamen runner, "Prepare the car, I'm going out for a while."

...

"Shouning, go a little further to the right and hug Yongning... Hug her, not her head, forget it, just put your hand on her shoulder."

Li Yi gave the arrogant loli some instructions, then picked up the pen again and drew on the spread paper.

The weather was good today, and he was originally planning to draw a family portrait, with Ruyi holding Li Duan, Xiaohuan and Ruyi standing beside her respectively, and then he would be photoshopped in, and this family portrait would be perfect.

But he bumped into the arrogant loli and insisted on joining in. With her, of course, Yongning was indispensable, so a small family became a big family.

The little guy couldn't be quiet for that long, and he cried and made a fuss in a while, so Ruyi had to coax him. Fortunately, her part had been drawn, and he only needed to add other people, which was not difficult for him.

After finishing the painting with great difficulty and sending Tsundere Loli and Yongning out to play, he finally had time to lie in the yard and enjoy a moment of peace.

Not long after he closed his eyes, a pair of hands appeared on his shoulders, gently massaging him.

Ruyi's voice was soft: "I have heard about the things that are spread outside."

Li Yi opened his eyes and asked in surprise: "What is it?"

"They said that my husband is a treacherous minister..."

Li Yi sighed and said: "I thought it was hidden well enough, but I didn't expect them to see it..."

In fact, to a certain extent, Old Man Chu and the others were really right. At least, he didn't even hide the fact that he wanted the eldest princess to become the empress from the old emperor.

If you really want to count, compared with this heinous act, what the Cui family did is nothing?

Ruyi did not show the slightest surprise at his words. After thinking for a while, she said solemnly: "If my husband is a flatterer, then I am the flatterer's wife. Flatterers and flatterers' wives join forces and no one is afraid of them."

Li Yi grabbed her hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, one flatterer is enough to deal with these people. The flatterer's son is crying again. The flatterer's wife should go and comfort him..."

Ruyi went to comfort Li Duan, who always made people restless. Miss Liu came from behind, walked in front of him, looked down at him, and asked: "Do you want more Wait till when? "

Lying on the recliner and looking at Miss Liu Er, Li Yi felt full of admiration. He shook his head and said, "Those are all great scholars. In terms of influence, I can't compare with them... Hey, I have a way. If you don't like it, you can visit those old stubborn people one by one at night. You don't need to kill them. Just beat them to a state of paralysis and unable to take care of themselves. Then they can't run out and incite everywhere..."

"Okay."

Miss Liu Er responded simply, and the next moment, she disappeared in front of Li Yi.

Suddenly, the shadow of Miss Liu Er disappeared in front of him. Li Yi was stunned. He immediately jumped up from the rocking chair, chased to the door, and shouted, "Wait a minute, let's discuss it again. Maybe there are other ways..."

I didn't catch up with Miss Liu Er, but I saw Li Xuan and the princess who came together.

When the three of them walked in again, someone came out of another high door.

A middle-aged man said with an apologetic look on his face: "Prime Minister Qin, I'm really sorry. My father has been unwell recently and has been bedridden. He won't see anyone."

Prime Minister Qin looked at the two carriages parked in front of the Chu family. He didn't say much, just looked at him and said lightly: "I have something to say. Please tell the Grand Tutor that Qin Wen thanks him for his teachings in the past, but today he wants to destroy the pillars of our Jing country. I'm sorry that I can't agree with it..."

In the hall, Li Yi just asked Li Xuan and the princess to sit down. Before the tea was served, Lao Fang walked in from outside and said, "My Lord, that Mr. Zeng is here."

According to the date, Zeng Shichun should come. Li Yi nodded and said, "Please let him in."

Zeng Shichun was wearing casual clothes today. He walked into the hall. After looking up, he was startled at first, and then he immediately bowed and said, "Zeng Shichun meets the princess and the prince!"

[ps: I really want to finish writing this plot in one go, but I can't help but encounter various things every day. I'm so sad...]
