Chapter 8 Princess Chongxi
"What did the prime minister say to you when he went in?" The queen immediately became nervous. Jing Li smiled and said, "It's nothing. She set a date for Li'er to marry Yin Zhaoyu. Just three days later, Li'er also issued a decree. The mother was seriously ill, so she named Yin Zhaoyu as Crown Princess Chongxi. Three days later, a wedding banquet was held. She thought that the mother woke up and discussed the specifics with the mother. What should we do about the wedding banquet!"
"Did you make Zhaoyu Princess Chongxi? Isn't this... Isn't it obvious that you are going to give the prime minister a majesty? How can you be so confused? If you provoke Yin Xiuzhen, won't it lead to the turmoil in the court? You... Do you really want to make your mother angry!" When the emperor saw what Jing Li said, he immediately became angry.
Jing Li immediately pressed the queen's hand and said firmly, "Mother, don't worry, Yin Xiuzhen doesn't dare. Don't forget that you are the emperor and her master!"
"You are young and frivolous! I don't know the experience of the prime minister!" The queen scolded her angrily and said, "In those years, in the court coup, some patriarchs rebelled. In order to suppress them, your grandmother had to hand over heavy troops to her. Anguo calm down the chaos, but who knew that she only drove these mobrioters to the desolate area of the northwest, but refused to hand over the military power. Now the mob is in the west. The State of Qi was established in the north! Several times, I wanted to take back her military power, but in the end, I could only make other people who made contributions to the state a general, so that I could rule her. Now you are openly against her, hey...!"
Jing Li's heart was cold. He never thought that she, the prime minister, had such a history. He raised his little face and said with a more firm expression, "Mother, please believe Li'er!"
"Yes, royal sister, since Li'er has issued an order, the decree has already reached the prime minister's ears. Now it's too late to take it back. Why don't you look at the prime minister's reaction?"
"Jing Yun, why are you so confused? This incident has moved the national capital, hey!" The queen sighed again. Jing Li was afraid that she would do anything to disgraced herself. She hurriedly bowed her head and said, "Mother, please believe Li'er. Li'er will definitely deal with this matter."
"Believe of you? How can I believe it? You don't even know the changes in the government and the available people in the court. You are just acting recklessly. How can I believe you?
Jing Li's body was shocked, and he slowly looked up at the queen's skinny appearance and whispered, "Mother, do you remember that you gave the jade seal to Li'er? Since the mother emperor did not believe that Li'er could bear the heavy responsibility of Jing, Li'er returned the jade seal to her mother! If the mother emperor wants to know how much Li'er knows about state affairs, then Li'er will tell you..."
"A year ago, there was a great drought in Yue County, and the mother emperor spent 50,000 yuan of grain, and Liu Ruyue, the top scholar of the new department, was awarded the history of disaster relief. In October of the same year, the drought stopped, and thousands of people praised it! Nine months ago, the disaster in prison state, the locusts were in trouble. The mother emperor was sympathetic to all the people, and the emperor's grain was 30,000 yuan. He was exempted from miscellaneous taxes in prison state. In the same year, the disaster was praised by thousands of people! Four months ago, Chunjiang burst the embankment, and more than half of the people in Chunzhou were killed and injured. The mother could not sleep at night. On that day, she cut 50,000 taels of silver, used Chunzhou people's clothes, and thousands of people were convinced! This is a national situation!"
"A year ago, Liu Ruyue, the top student of the new subject, was not on the list, and the one who was on the top of the list. The mother learned that Liu Ruyue was selected as the first champion and named it the history of disaster relief! At the same time, there are also Huang Fengyan and Jin Dongmei... This is the national vein!"
"Two years ago, according to the imperial tax, the treasury should have entered 34.36 million imperial grain, but the actual number of warehouses does not have these. This came out when the imperial grain was allocated for disaster relief a year ago. If the mother wants to know more details, Rong Lier will tell you in detail. I don't know the mother emperor. Do you still think Li'er is a useless, young and frivolous and romantic prince at this moment?
The three people in front of me... Queen, Jing Yun and Linglong! They all looked at her with their mouths slightly open, and the expression was as if it was fixed there. Jing Li didn't give the queen a chance to speak. He said loudly, "Although Li'er ordered Yin Zhaoyu to be Crown Princess Chongxi, maybe this will really anger Yin Xiuzhen, but so what? She made such a request when her mother was seriously ill, so why did she pay attention to the royal family? If she is openly disrespectful to the royal family for this reason, won't she become the target of public criticism? If she is silent, the royal family will ring a wake-up call for her. Why not? Forbearance is an advantage of human beings, but it can't be put on the emperor. When an emperor can't stand it, if he doesn't fight back, how can he be called an emperor? What's the difference between that and the faint king?"
At this time, the queen's eyes were already full of tears. She looked at Jing Li with trembling her lips, but she took Jing Yun's hand and choked, "Jing Yun, Jing Yun, come and pinch me. Am I... dreaming? This is my Li'er, is it my Lier?"
"Yes, it's Li'er! It's Crown Prince Jingli!" The third prince also had hot tears in his eyes, and the susceptible Linglong couldn't help covering his mouth and sobbing!
She staggered to stand up and pushed away Jing Yun and Linglong, who wanted to help her. She slowly walked to Jing Li step by step and bent down. Tears dripped down her cheeks. She suddenly hugged Jing Li tightly and muttered, "Li'er, my good child, I... still not yet. For example, I have always blamed you for being wrong. Only when I cover the edge can I have the opportunity to keep a low profile. I have never believed that the Jing family will have such a bad girl, so I have always hoped that one day you can really grow up and take on the responsibility of the Jing family, but for many years, I have mistakenly blamed you. In the past few years, I have suffered you... Cough!"
Because she was too excited, the queen suddenly felt a surge of blood, and she quickly covered her mouth tightly! Jing Li stood up in a panic. At this time, he heard a female voice outside the room and said, "Your Majesty, the red dates and lotus seed soup you asked for is coming!"
"Come in!" Urgently, Jing Li hurriedly greeted her, brought it to the queen in person, and said softly, "Mother, you have lost too much blood and are weak. Drink some sweet soup to moisten!"
"Good boy!" The queen smiled happily and held her hands trembling. The third prince immediately stepped forward, took out a long silver bar from his sleeve, put it in the soup and tried it. Then he retreated to the side at ease. Jing Li smiled and bent down and fed the queen in person. After taking a sip, the emperor seemed to feel much better, so he took a long breath and said, "Li'er Go and see Jing Feng. I heard that he has been in a coma until now. It's all because he saved you, and without him by your side, I can't rest assured for a moment!"
Jing Li is also very grateful to Jing Feng, who gave up his life to save himself. He thinks that he is also a royal surname, and he is also related to himself, right? Even if the queen didn't say Jing Li, she was thinking of visiting him. Now that the queen has said it, she quickly answered, "Well, don't worry, when the mother is asleep, Li'er will go to visit Jing Feng!"
"Okay, I'm also worried about Jing Feng. Why don't you go first after dinner! I want to go to the ancestral hall to worship my ancestors. After wiping the corners of her mouth, the queen looked at Jing Li kindly!
Unexpectedly, Jing Feng had such a heavy position in the queen's heart. Jing Li couldn't help but be more curious about him. She nodded and fed the queen a few mouthfuls of sweet soup before leaving!
The night is getting dark, and the sky is getting dark. Although there is a palace lamp shining, it is still not as easy to distinguish the direction as in the daytime. Jing Li stood there and said to Linglong beside him, "It's too dark. I don't know if I broke my head when I was in Minshan. Now I can't even see the road clearly."
Hearing what she said, Linglong hurried forward to help her and said, "Your Highness, are you all right? Come on, the maidservant is holding the lamp in front of him, which will light up a lot.
"It's okay!" Jing Li nodded. The exquisite words were just what she wanted. Along the way, the two people walked forward one after another. After standing on the edge of Jing Feng's courtyard door for a long time, Jing Li couldn't help sighing in his heart: "After making wool, Jing Feng actually lived in his own womb for a long time!"
