Chapter 555: Grace is nowhere to be found

For thousands of years, only Li Shimin has been honored as the Heavenly Khan, and the person who can be called so by Fanbang is naturally not a fool.

After Li Shimin's words were finished, Li Su's expression did not change at all.

The reaction to the Taiji Palace was also expected by Li Su, who knew that Li Chengqian would not dare to speak out and let the ranger named Wang An escape from Longyou, but the prevention was that the Taiji Palace would arrest Wang An after knowing about it, and give birth to many branches, thus setting himself on fire.

Living in this era when the rule of man is greater than the rule of law, Li Su is very careful in every step, and thinks about defeat before he wins everything.

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he stared at Li Su, and his expression was not angry, but he just told the truth naturally.

Li Suxiao looked at him with a fearless gaze.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... Did you do it wrong? ”

Li Shimin sighed: "I can't figure out now whether what you did was wrong or right, at least when it comes to killing people on the street, I can't say with my conscience that you did the right thing, don't forget, what you did was not only killing, but also killing people in front of the East Palace, you provoked my imperial power!" ”

Li Su hung his head: "Yes, the minister pleads guilty." ”

Li Shimin was stunned, he didn't expect Li Su to plead guilty so happily, this reaction made Li Shimin a little at a loss.

After being silent for a long time, Li Shimin shook his head with a wry smile: "It is reasonable for you to ask for sin, and I will punish your crimes, but my Tang Dynasty will issue a criminal code to punish crimes, and it is easy for me to cure your crimes, but what reason do I use to cover up the world?" All sins must have a reason, and the cause of this matter is the fault of the East Palace first, there is no impermeable wall in the world, this matter spreads, but it is another scandal of the heavenly family, Zizheng, you have always been smart, you tell me. What should I do about this? ”

Li Su smiled, and his expression was calm: "If Your Majesty is iron-faced and selfless, you should each play fifty big boards, the East Palace is guilty, the East Palace is guilty, and the ministers are guilty." is also guilty of the minister, frank and frank to make this matter public, no one has anything to say. ”

Li Shimin's face was a little stiff: "The sin is in the East Palace? The crown prince is my eldest son, Zhenguan was personally canonized by me in the first year, he is the foundation of the future society of the Tang Dynasty, if the crown prince is guilty, doesn't it mean that the entire society is wrong? Zizheng, do you know that outside the Chang'an court, there are still five sects and seven surnames. Longyoumen, the thousand-year-old family, those people are staring at me coldly, waiting for me to make mistakes, waiting to see my jokes, they have never accepted my Li family's occupation of the country, if this matter spreads, the heavenly family will be disgraced. Huangwei is greatly damaged, who knows how those gate valve families will act? ”

Li Su smiled: "Since Your Majesty does not want to offend the East Palace. Naturally, you can't be guilty of the ministers, the teacher is nameless, and the punishment is unenforceable, not only the ministers are not convinced, but the people of the world are also not convinced, so. The minister thinks it's better to just forget about this matter, what does Your Majesty think? ”

Li Shimin stared at Li Su's face, his eyes did not blink, and the depths of his eyes exuded anger and shame. There is also a hint of relief, which is ever-changing in an instant, very exciting.

Li Su exhaled a long breath, he understood every change in Li Shimin's eyes, that's right, he was right in the last sentence just now, Li Shimin also meant this, fortunately, he said it first, and Li Shimin finally retained face.

Heavy snow blocks the road, the countryside road is difficult to travel, in such a ghost weather, the dignified Venerable came to Taiping Village after hard work, naturally it is impossible to really come to grab the bath with him by the way to eat and drink, Li Su believes that Li Shimin will not be so idle.

When the words between the monarchs and ministers came to this point, Li Su also completely understood Li Shimin's intention.

One is to apologize on behalf of the crown prince, this move is out of the mind of the emperor through the ages, the only one in the five thousand years of His Majesty the Heavenly Khan, wrong is wrong, and the emperor should apologize if he is wrong.

The second is to cover the lid, but this is out of selfishness, yes, His Majesty Tian Khan naturally has selfishness, and his selfishness is not for the sake of his uncompetitive son Li Chengqian, but for the dignity of the Li family's imperial power.

Therefore, Li Shimin's meaning is very clear, this matter is not successful, stop here, no one should mention it, the implication is that you kid take care of your mouth, if you dare to mess around with this matter, I will not beat you to death, I will only chop you up......

The monarch and the ministers looked at each other silently, and reached a consensus on this matter.

After a long time, Li Shimin smiled: "Very good, according to what Zizheng said, this matter will be stopped." ”

Li Su smiled and picked up the wine glass: "Respect Your Majesty, drink to win." ”

"Drink to win!"

***************************************************************

Tucked Courtyard.

"Miss Green Willow, the concubine wants to ask, the person behind Her Royal Highness the princess ......" Wu's bright eyes stared at Green Willow, his eyes were clear, and there seemed to be two spiritual springs shaking.

Lu Liu covered her mouth and smiled: "Her Royal Highness the princess has commanded, but the servant doesn't dare to say it, saying that the servant will be killed if she goes back." ”

Wu smiled and said, "The girl is serious. ”

Knowing that she can't ask an answer, Princess Dongyang seems to be deliberately keeping it mysterious, or rather, the person behind the princess is deliberately keeping it mysterious, and the Wu family is inconvenient to force it, today, after all, she is receiving the favor of others.

Turning his head to look at the apricot who was eating with a mouthful of oil, Wu's eyes showed pity, and he couldn't help but caress her slightly messy sideburns.

The green willow really fulfilled its promise, every ten days, appeared on time in the court, and also brought a few strong women, carrying several food boxes, as well as a variety of high-quality new clothes, as well as all kinds of living sundries, as small as the hollow incense balls specially used to burn incense, to the black lacquer carved mahogany suitcase, Gong barrel, etc., it can be said that everything is thoughtful.

And since the green willow openly supported the Wu family under the banner of Dongyang in the court, the treatment of the Wu family in the court has improved a lot, and the Liu steward who made it difficult for her was panicked all day long, worried about being retaliated by the Wu family day and night, a penniless eunuch like him said that he was a steward, but in the huge Taiji Palace, he was just a small role that could not be put on the stage, but Princess Dongyang fluttered lightly to the young eunuch of the palace province, and the people of the government or something. Those eunuch leaders who only wanted to invite favors and flattery but couldn't do it were not allowed to regard this matter as a beautiful thing, and cut him into pieces like crazy, and sent them to Her Royal Highness the princess with both hands?

Now I don't know if it's because Princess Dongyang can't bear to kill with all her heart, and the above hasn't moved him for a long time, Steward Liu has lost more than ten pounds in fright these days, and finally thinks that he has survived a catastrophe. Since then, he didn't dare to give the Wu family half a cent of color, not only did he not arrange any more work for the Wu family, but also asked for instructions every day and reported in the evening, and regarded the Wu family as the ancestral tablet of his Liu family.

The place where the Wu family lives now has long since been replaced by a separate courtyard. The palace of Yeting has always been dilapidated and in disrepair, so Steward Liu specially allocated a sum of money to renovate the hall where the Wu family lived, and only she and Xing'er lived in the huge palace, sleeping until they woke up naturally every day, counting the money...... This is still not available, and there is no need for this in the court.

Green willow came to the court every ten days, and each time he brought a lot of things, food and drink. Everything is ready, this time the green willow actually brought wine, and it was a five-step pour that swept Chang'an.

Receiving favors from others is no longer just as simple as not being able to repay them, the more times Green Willow comes, and the more things he sends, the more uneasy the Wu clan feels.

Like Li Su, Wu never believed in love and hate for no reason. There is no gratuitous favor, and now he enjoys these inexplicable brocade clothes and jade food. I live a heavenly life in this dark place, but ...... What if one day she has to pay more than these favors?

Enjoying these things and accepting the awe-inspiring gaze of everyone in the Imperial Palace, the Wu family smiled like a flower on the surface, but his heart had gradually fallen into endless torment. It's been two months, and Wu often has insomnia at night, and the feeling that her fate is not in her hands, as if there are a pair of hands secretly at the mercy of her life, is really worrying.

Today, the green willow came to the court again. The Wu family really couldn't help it, and inquired openly or secretly about the person behind Princess Dongyang, but unfortunately, Luliu has served Dongyang in the palace since he was a child, and he has rich experience in the rivers and lakes.

The two girls sat in the hall, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became, but only they knew in their hearts that everyone was actually tired of talking.

It's too tired, chatting is like two armies facing each other, one is attacking without a life, the other is desperately defending, and the swords and swords are almost seen in the dialogue with laughter and chanting.

If we continue to talk like this, we will have no friends.

"His Royal Highness ordered, these food, martial arts people to eat as much as possible, ten days later, the servant will come again, His Royal Highness also said, seeing that New Year's Day is coming, on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, His Majesty will summon all the princes and princesses to enjoy the lanterns and the moon on the upper floor of the Imperial City Palace, that day is a good time, His Royal Highness will hand a few good words to the martial arts people in front of His Majesty, the day when the martial talents will leave the court is not far away, the maid here congratulates the martial arts people."

Wu's eyes flashed with joy, and he hurriedly said: "Please thank Her Royal Highness the princess for the concubine girl, if you can get rid of the sea of suffering this time, the concubine body will be driven by Her Royal Highness, and there will be no two hearts from now on." ”

Green Willow smiled: "Didn't you say it before? His Royal Highness can't accept this love, the martial artist thanked the wrong person. ”

Wu lowered his head and said softly: "Receiving favors, but I don't know who the benefactor is, and there is no reason for this in the whole world, the green willow girl can't be accommodating, tell the concubine who is the grace of the princess, the concubine body will get out of the future, or burn incense and bathe, and kowtow to the grace of the father." ”

"Her Royal Highness the princess said, there is a day when we meet, everything is forced, and the martial arts people have fallen into the court, and after the catastrophe, the heart should be more calm than when the scenery was at the beginning."

Wu nodded with a smile: "In this case, the concubine will not ask in the future, and the green willow girl is not strange." ”

Green Willow chatted with her for a few more words, and then Shi Li left first.

In the main hall, Xing'er grabbed a piece of crisp cheese in her hand and ate her mouth full of minced pieces, Wu wiped her mouth lovingly, and said with a smile: "There is really no shortage of food these days, why do you eat like a hungry ghost every time?" ”

Xing'er smiled shyly, swallowed the food in her mouth hard, and said with a smile: "The things sent by the green willow girl are very delicious, they are made by the chef of the princess's mansion, and Xing'er can only eat these exquisite foods when she served Niangniang......

The more Apricot spoke, the more sad she became, and her eyes gradually turned red.

Wu Shi was distressed, hugged her in his arms and said warmly: "Xing'er, don't worry, if I Tengda in the future, any rare and delicious food in the world will teach you to eat happily and casually for the rest of your life." ”

Xing'er nodded happily, handed over a piece of pastry, and said with a smile: "Wucairen, you also eat some, why do you have to watch Xing'er eat half full before you start eating every time?" Wouldn't it be fun for everyone to eat together? ”

Wu shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't like pastries, really, Xing'er just eats it, don't care about me." ”

Xing'er is a teenager, her temperament is very innocent and simple, and she is not polite when she hears it, so she picks up a piece of pastry and stuffs it into her mouth.

While eating, Xing'er said: "Wucairen, Miss Luliu said just now that on the day of Shangyuan Festival, Her Royal Highness the Princess will deliver good words to Wucai in front of His Majesty...... Can you bring apricots? Xing'er will serve you in the future, give you makeup, give you hair, give you pulp clothes, Xing'er is very diligent......"

Wu smiled and said, "You are the sister I recognize, how can I not bring you?" Xing'er rest assured, your hard days have come to an end, in the future, you will live happily, and you will have no worries about food and clothing all your life, maybe you will take care of many people in the future. ”

Xing'er's eyes widened and she said excitedly, "Really? Will I be able to be a female officer in the future? ”

"Yes, as a female official, if I have a Tengda day in the future, those slaves from the palace province and the inner service province will have to behave in a proper manner when they see you, and you will kill whoever you see is not pleasing to the eye."

"If you don't like it, why kill him? No, no......" Xing'er shook her head disapprovingly, and continued: "Just now the green willow girl also said that the martial arts man's benevolence is another person, and the maid listened to it for a long time, and heard that the martial arts people wanted to inquire who that engong was, but the green willow girl refused to say, does the martial talent know that person?" Xing'er entrusted the blessing of Wucai and that Engong, not only saved her life, but she didn't have to work or go hungry, and Xing'er also wanted to kowtow to Engong......"

Wu pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "Although Green Willow refuses to say it explicitly, I still guessed a few points...... In the past, I served the emperor, it was the time of the scenery, I vaguely heard about a thing, saying that it was Zhenguan for ten years, and Princess Dongyang swore to resist marriage, just because she had a personal relationship with Li Su, the son of Jingyang County at that time, and this matter shocked Chang'an at that time, and the world heard about it. Later, Her Royal Highness the princess simply became a monk, and the prince of Jingyang County, after the bloody battle in Xizhou, made a splashing military exploit, and was promoted to the marquis of Jingyang County, although he became close to other women, but I heard that he still has a broken connection with Princess Dongyang......"

"Princess Dongyang is a monk aunt, her temperament has always been indifferent and indisputable, never involved in the affairs of the court and the harem, other princes and princesses compete for favor in front of His Majesty every day, but she never disdains it, such a pure-hearted and indisputable person, if there is still a person in the world who can drive her to do things willingly, then this person ......"

The corners of her red lips faintly drew a touching arc, and Wu Shi muttered: "Engong, the concubine finally knows who you are...... For a woman who has fallen into the court and her life is hanging by a thread, you have done so many things and made such a big detour, Engong, you ...... What is the intention? ”
