Chapter 1007: Sparks
"Goro, when you meet Li Zhongyi, you must pay tribute to him as a teacher, and you are just an ordinary prince." Concubine Du knew the severity, so she kept telling Chai Xirang not to be used as a gunman by Li Zhongyi.
"Mother, you once said that Li Xianggong is the father of Tuogu, and he was the prince and teacher, so the child should naturally respect him!" Chai Xi's extremely sensible words made Concubine Du almost shed tears on the spot.
Under Chai Xirang's comfort, Concubine Du finally cleaned up her sad emotions and instructed the maidservants around her to wait for a change of clothes.
Under the deliberate arrangement of Concubine Du, Cao Wang Chai Xirang only wore ordinary home clothes, and put aside the clothes of the imperial princess.
It has long been rumored among the ministers of the DPRK and China that Li Zhongyi is a lascivious guy who especially likes to collect beautiful women.
In order to avoid being targeted by the evil ghosts in the sex, Concubine Du spent a lot of effort to dress herself up extremely haggard, and completely covered up her devastating posture of seducing people and committing crimes.
Kang Ze was called indoors, and he immediately noticed the abnormality of Concubine Du, and couldn't help but open his mouth wide in shock. After the shock, Kang Ze immediately realized the good intentions of Concubine Du who didn't want to provoke Li Zhongyi's attention.
Although Concubine Du has covered it up, can she fool the past and prevent Li Zhongyi from thinking badly, she actually has no bottom in her heart.
In the past, when Chai Rong was still alive, Concubine Du was a favorite concubine, and she often accompanied Chai Rong. Li Zhongyi was often summoned into the palace by Chai Rong to "chat", and naturally he had seen Concubine Du many times, even if Li Zhongyi was blind again, it was impossible not to see Concubine Du's peerless demeanor.
After the mother and son cleaned up, under the guidance of Kang Ze, they slowly walked into the main house of this annex.
Kang Ze knew Taifei Du's temper and temperament very well, and just now, Taifei Du was not wearing a formal palace dress that showed the grade of Taiguifei, so he guessed that the hostess wanted to avoid trouble.
Therefore, after entering the main house, Kang Ze led Concubine Du and King Cao directly to the courtyard gate of the main mansion, instead of going to the main house.
The etiquette system of the Great Zhou, the respect of the prime minister, and the mother and son of the concubine Du stood in front of the courtyard to greet Li Zhongyi, although they were too humble, they could barely say it.
Concubine Du nodded secretly, no matter whether Kang Ze was really loyal or not, after all, he was an old man who had been serving by his side, he had a very tacit understanding, and he really understood her thoughts.
After Wang Dahu picked up Li Zhongyi on the dock, the two took the same carriage, and on the way, Li Zhongyi knew about the abnormal behavior of Concubine Du.
Li Zhongyi couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "It's all Liu Jinu's fault!" β
Wang Dahu grew up in a poor family, and when he was in Shu before, he was just an extremely ordinary jailer, and at the beginning of knowing Li Zhongyi, he was a typical illiterate.
Later, with Li Zhongyi's rise step by step, Wang Dahu saw the broad prospects for the future, and he no longer wanted to be blind if he didn't know a few big characters, so he specially invited a private school teacher to teach him to read and learn characters.
Over the years, although Wang Dahu can't recite poems and lyrics, he is no longer the pure illiterate person he was at the beginning.
It's just that Liu Jinu in Li Zhongyi's mouth, Wang Dahu seems to have heard someone talk about it somewhere, but he never remembers, who is this person? What did you do?
Li Zhongyi also knew very well that Wang Dahu was a doer, and the ink in his stomach was really unusually barren, so he introduced with a smile: "Liu Yu, the founding emperor of the Southern Dynasty Liu Song, his nickname is Jinu. Before Liu Jinu built the Song Dynasty on behalf of the Jin Dynasty, the former emperor of the Zen dynasty and the end of the dynasty saved his life. However, less than a year after Liu Jinu became emperor, Sima Dewen, Emperor Gong of Jin, who had been demoted to the king of Lingling, was suffocated to death in the hemp quilt. Since then, most of the former monarchs who lost their country have died unexpectedly. β
"Oh, I see." Wang Dahu touched his head and sighed heavily, "No wonder Concubine Du has always refused to live in the main house, she has to choose a partial compartment, I dare to worry that the third brother will settle accounts in the future?" β
Li Zhongyi nodded and said, "Very early, I knew that Du Guifei was a smart person. It's just that her luck is a little bad, the Du family is far inferior to the Fu family, even if she is favored, King Cao can't be the son of heaven. β
"Third brother, there is something unknown to the foolish brother, I don't know if to ask?" Wang Dahu has not only shared hardships with Li Zhongyi, but also is a righteous brother, he has always spoken directly in front of Li Zhongyi, and never hides it.
Li Zhongyi smiled and patted Wang Dahu's crossed right leg, and said angrily: "What kind of friendship do you and I have, if you have something to say, hurry up and let it go." β
Wang Dahu hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Don't hide it from the third brother, you said, according to my secret observation, if King Cao has three longs and two shorts, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Concubine Du to live alone." β
Li Zhongyi understood as soon as he heard it, Wang Dahu was obviously fascinated by the peerless appearance of Concubine Du, and actually risked great disapproval to intercede for Concubine Du.
"Second brother, although the first emperor was wary of me everywhere and constantly suppressed me. However, before the death of the first emperor, I was designated as one of the eight phases of Tuogu, and since I received this great favor, I will not hurt the heirs of the first emperor. Li Zhongyi responded to Wang Dahu's concerns tactfully by promising not to kill King Cao.
Wang Dahu breathed a long sigh of relief and sighed: "Third brother, don't blame, it's a foolish brother who wants to be left." However, I really can't bear to be such a charming beauty as Du Guifei......"
Li Zhongyi's heart moved slightly, Wang Dahu is not only not a lustful person, but also has always been ruthless. Besides, he, Wang Dahu, is not that he hasn't seen the beautiful and unparalleled Fei Meiniang, so he won't be soft-hearted when he sees Concubine Du, right?
"Second brother, why can't I understand what you're talking about?" When Li Zhongyi and Wang Dahu were together, they were always very relaxed, and he didn't bother to bother with it, so he directly forced him to tell the truth.
"Third brother, you know my methods. That Du Guifei was afraid that King Cao's life would not be guaranteed, so she kept secretly teaching him to hide clumsy, and even pretended to be crazy, it can be seen that she was very afraid! Wang Dahu picked up the tea cup in front of him, poured it down, wiped the tea stains on the corner of his mouth, and sighed softly, "I dare to pack the ticket, their mother and son, they really don't have any ambitions, they just want to live in peace." β
Li Zhongyi understood that Wang Dahu was not worried about the beauty of Concubine Du, but worried that he, Li Zhongyi, like Liu Jinu, would bear the eternal notoriety of seizing the throne and killing the master.
The tea cup in Wang Dahu's hand is actually Li Zhongyi's special tea cup, which is definitely a big crime of trespassing if it is someone else.
Li Zhongyi just didn't see it, picked up Wang Dahu's teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Second brother, you can rest assured, although the first emperor has always been suspicious of me, after all, he didn't kill me." β
With Li Zhongyi's repeated promises, Wang Dahu finally put his heart at ease and sighed: "I also know that it is taboo to say this, but it is ......."
Li Zhongyi waved his hand to stop Wang Dahu's explanation, and said very sincerely: "Back then, I was betrayed by Meng Chang, you could have taken the money and flew away, but you had to take a big risk to escort my family out of Shu, what kind of friendship is this?" β
The two brothers looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent!
Concubine Du, who was standing at the door, heard the huge movement outside the door of the mansion, and her heart, which was already very nervous, couldn't suppress a wild beat: Cao Cao, surnamed Li, is here!
Chai Xirang's little hand made Concubine Du pinch, and he couldn't help but shout, "Mother, lightly." β
Concubine Du hurriedly let go of her hand, leaned over, rubbed her son's reddened little hands, and asked Chai Xirang with a crying voice: "It's all bad for my mother, it's all because my mother is not good, is it still painful?" β
If Chai Xirang continued to cry out in pain, Concubine Du would have a huge urge to rush back to the house to get the bone-setting ointment.
Fortunately, Chai Xirang was very sensible, and he took the initiative to tell Mrs. Du, "Mother, it doesn't hurt at all, really." β
The more sad Concubine Du is, the more she hates Chai Rong, the man himself does not cherish his body, he left too early, leaving orphans and widows, and giving people unscrupulous bullying.
Just when the mother and son were resentful and self-pitying, Li Zhongyi had already appeared at the gate of the courtyard surrounded by the team.
"Lee Sang-gong has arrived."
Li Zhongyi is here?
Concubine Du hurriedly grabbed Chai Xirang's little hand and taught him in a low voice: "Wulang, remember your mother's words, you must not accept Li Zhongyi's big gift to worship, do you understand?" β
"Mother, the child will definitely pay homage to Master Li with a teacher salute." Chai Xirang's cleverness made Concubine Du sad.
Such a well-behaved good boy, and a nobleman, in order to save his life, he actually wants to bow down to the original courtiers, who should he find to reason?
"Students meet Master Li."
Li Zhongyi walked up to the front and was about to salute, but unexpectedly, Chai Xirang took the first step, knelt on his knees, and made a big gift to meet his teacher.
In this era that has not yet been polluted by Zhu Xi's science, ministers visiting the emperor are generally just a long trip to the ground. Only a courtier who has committed a serious crime and begs for the emperor's pardon needs to kneel and beg for mercy.
In other words, Chai Xirang, with the respect of a prince, actually knelt to meet Li Zhongyi, which was already low to the dust.
"Concubine Du, meet Master Li." Before Li Zhongyi could react, Concubine Du had already squatted down and bowed deeply.
Li Zhongyi's official is the right servant of Shangshu and the servant of Zhongshu, and he is the real prime minister!
As for Li Zhongyi's title of Jixian Hall Scholar, this is actually a post that matches the real prime minister.
But the problem is that among Li Zhongyi's titles, there is a title of prince and prince, which was exploited by Concubine Du.
The prince and the prince were simplified to the prince by the mother and son of the concubine Du, Li Zhongyi couldn't help but smile bitterly, the mother and son in front of him really racked their brains in order to survive!
"Shangshu's right servant shoots and Zhongshu Shilang, and Tongzhongshu is under the Pingzhang matter, and the minister Li Zhongyi knocks to see Mrs. Du's concubine." Li Zhongyi knelt on his knees respectfully, put aside King Cao, and paid homage to Concubine Du with a big salute.
Just now, Li Zhongyi was half a beat slower, and was robbed of the first move by Concubine Du. Now, Li Zhongyi returned his body in his own way, and roasted Mrs. Du on the fire.
King Cao knelt, and if Li Zhongyi went to help him up, it would be a solid disobedience.
Li Zhongyi knelt, that was according to the etiquette system of the imperial court, respecting the concubine of the first emperor. Although it is slightly inappropriate, it can barely be said.
This so-called, one report and one report, who is more embarrassed? More fearful?
Li Zhongyi knelt on the ground, King Cao was young after all, and he was dumbfounded on the spot, completely at a loss.
Concubine Du was in a hurry, clenched her silver teeth, and simply knelt down, she said in a trembling voice: "Taishi Li is today's teacher, Xirang is today's fifth brother, and the concubine is just an ordinary concubine of the first emperor, dare to accept such a great gift from Taishi Li?" β
In the past, when Chai Rong was alive, Li Zhongyi often saw Concubine Du. It's just that the woman in the lord, no matter how beautiful and charming she is, how dare Li Zhongyi, a courtier, look at it more?
Now, Concubine Du is close at hand, and Li Zhongyi has seen it up close, what is the national color and fragrance?
Now Li Zhongyi, almost all of him are famous flowers of national color. Don't talk about her from afar, just Fei Meiniang, Li Qiniang, Li Cuixuan and Xiao Zhouhou, the fiancΓ©e who was ruined by Zhou Zong, are all one of the peerless disasters among tens of millions of people!
However, Chu Chu was pitiful, frightened, and had a small white flower in her temples, Concubine Du, in response to the old saying, if you want to be filial piety, it will arouse Li Zhongyi's possessiveness.
"Niangniang, everyone is kneeling like this, let people see it, and think that the minister bullied you?"
Li Cuixuan, who was also squatting on the side to salute, couldn't help frowning secretly when she heard Li Zhongyi's words, and glared at him angrily.
Why did you call the minister bullying you? No matter how you listen to this, it has the meaning of frivolity. If it falls into the ears of outsiders, what kind of face does Concubine Du have to live?
Since Concubine Du and King Cao have fallen into the palm of their hands, Li Zhongyi has not seen a stunning soil bun, so naturally he will not show traces on the surface.
It's just that Li Zhongyi's words did remind Concubine Du that if Li Zhongyi was forced to be anxious and insisted on putting her son on the throne, it would be all over.
"Taishi, then don't be formal, how about it?" Concubine Du thought about it and decided to solve the embarrassment in front of her first.
When Li Zhongyi got up, he caught a glimpse of Concubine Du personally helping King Cao up and gently tidying up King Cao's clothes.
Hmm, this is in line with the news on the intelligence, Concubine Du did hold King Cao in her heart, the so-called concern is chaotic, and this scene in the eyes can be described as appropriate.
When the guests entered the house, Li Zhongyi and Concubine Du had another dispute.
Concubine Du insisted on refusing to walk in front of Li Zhongyi, Li Zhongyi naturally wouldn't let her get her wish, so the two stood at the door and began to argue.
"Niangniang, no matter how heavy the power of the minister is, he is also a courtier, how can you let you fall into the queen's house?" Li Zhongyi buckled his head and buckled a big hat down.
Concubine Du was forced to be anxious, and she immediately retorted: "Xianggong is the important minister of the first emperor Tuogu, and he is a courteous minister, but that is the rule set by the ancestors, and the concubine dares to violate it?" β
Li Zhongyi understood that Concubine Du was not the kind of vase with big breasts and beautiful eyes, and she understood very well in her heart that King Cao was made the emperor's younger brother, or the emperor, which was equivalent to starting the countdown to death.
Fools know that after Li Zhongyi defeats the mother and son in Kaifeng City in the future, he will have the evil intention of usurping the throne. Then, King Cao died unexpectedly, that is, sooner or later!
In fact, even without Wang Dahu's help to intercede, Li Zhongyi didn't plan to do anything to King Cao in the future.
I think that at the beginning, after the mutiny of Zhao Lao Er and Chen Qiao, he had that elegance, and he did not kill Chai Zongxun on the spot, let alone Li Zhongyi, who was eloquent and strategic?
In addition, Pu Yi, a war criminal who was once a traitor, was not only arranged for his wife to take care of his daily life. Moreover, after Pu Yi unfortunately died of cancer, he was first buried in the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery, and then moved to the royal cemetery of the Qing Dynasty.
In a sense, Pu Yi was able to die of illness in bed, which can be regarded as a good death.
Since Concubine Du is so close to King Cao, with Li Zhongyi's means, it is naturally impossible to easily let go of such an important handle.
Li Zhongyi arched his hand and said: "Niangniang's words are wrong, the ministers are entrusted by the first emperor to the grace of the orphan, and they should respect the bloodline of the first emperor." β
Concubine Du's heart was violently cold, and Li Zhongyi led the disaster to King Cao, although it was expected, it was enough to make her frightened.
"Okay, then please forgive the concubine for her disrespect." Concubine Du took King Cao's little hand, took the lead in taking a step, and walked towards the main house of the main house.
Li Zhongyi saw that Concubine Du was grabbing King Cao's wrist, and he couldn't help but smile knowingly, it seems that King Cao's safety has become a death calamity that Concubine Du can't get around!
"The daily life of Concubine Du and King Cao, and even going out for a walk, will be handed over to you." Li Zhongyi did not move his steps, but beckoned Li Cuixuan to his side, and carefully told her, "As long as you call the guards to protect you, you don't go out of the territory of Pinglu, no matter where Concubine Du wants to go for a leisurely visit, you can do whatever she wants." β
Li Cuixuan has been left out in the remote corner courtyard by Li Zhongyi, I thought that Li Zhongyi was completely dead to her, but she didn't think that the man who was full of evil actually arranged for her to be responsible for receiving and taking care of Concubine Du.
"Yes." Li Cuixuan just wants to be the queen, and she is not willing to be Li Zhongyi's little wife, even if she is stripped naked by a bad man, the tide of love is surging, she still refuses to take the initiative to give the red pill, and the arrogance of the princess of the previous dynasty is admirable.
The moment Li Zhongyi turned around, he inadvertently realized that it might be because he often drank goat's milk, and the size on Li Cuixuan's chest seemed to be a whole circle larger?
Almost subconsciously, Li Zhongyi stopped, raised his chin, and said coldly: "From today on, drink an extra pot of milk every day." β
"Yes." Li Cuixuan didn't dare to provoke Li Zhongyi, and without thinking about it, she blurted out and obeyed the bad man's orders.
After Li Zhongyi walked out a few steps, Li Cuixuan suddenly realized that the bad man's eyesight was really vicious, and he obviously saw through the mystery on her chest.
However, then again, Li Zhongyi used to peel Li Cuixuan into a little white sheep, and the mysteries of her body could be hidden from anyone, but not from this bad man.
Li Cuixuan is an extremely intelligent woman, and if Li Zhongyi wants to pick her red pill, it is easier than drinking water.
The reason why Li Cuixuan has not been broken so far is that Li Zhongyi just wants her to take the initiative to give her a hug.
Because of Li Zhongyi's ridicule, Li Cuixuan suddenly figured out that Li Zhongyi arranged for her to take care of Concubine Du and King Cao, and it was definitely a weasel who gave New Year's greetings to the chickens, and she didn't have a good heart.
