Lord Long was so delighted that he almost couldn't control his laughter.
Did the Regent agree?
He promised to let his daughter enter the Regent's Palace!
Long Xinlan couldn't believe it.
It was said that the Prince Regent and Princess Regent were deeply in love with each other, and only had each other in their hearts, with no room for anyone else. I didn't expect that it would be so easy to succeed.
It seems that their relationship is just like this.
Since ancient times, which man doesn’t have three wives and four concubines?
Even the Regent is no exception.
Chu Li glanced at Long Xinlan and laughed with an ambiguous tone: "Ms. Long is very capable."
Long Xinlan raised her head proudly, with a proud look between her brows and a smile that could not be hidden:
"Thank you for your kindness, sister. From now on, please give me your guidance."
"My mother only gave birth to me. I don't deserve to be called sister by Miss Long."
"Sister, you deserve it." Long Xinlan curled her lips and said, "This is the will of the Regent. Do you think Sister is going to disobey the Regent?"
"When did the King agree?"
The man's cold voice was like a stabilizing force, attracting everyone's attention.
"Miss Long, what I mean is that Lord Long wants you to take care of him until his death, and you want to become a nun. Why don't you dismiss Lord Long from his position? I will send someone to send you and your daughter to a nunnery to spend your remaining years in peace."
When the cold words fell, the father and daughter looked up in surprise as if struck by lightning.
What? !
This, this...
Chu Li curled her lips: "I said that Miss Long is very capable and filial. Lord Long, you gave birth to a good daughter. This is your blessing."
Lord Long couldn't believe it, his face turned pale, and he said hurriedly:
"Regent, please think twice! I have served as an official for many years and have been loyal to you. Aren't you afraid of discouraging me by doing this?"
Chu Dichi glared at him coldly:
"If you are not afraid of contradicting me, why should I care about your life or death?"
"Your Majesty, the Regent!"
"What's more, Miss Long bluntly said that I ruined her innocence, but I just sat there without moving, and did nothing. All the guests present saw her body, so why did she blame me?"
Do you really think he is easy to talk to?
Or is it that now that the world is at peace and the people are living and working in peace and contentment, these officials are so idle that they have reached the point of ignoring his authority?
Oh!
Glancing at the guests, he asked, "Is there anyone else who wants to try it?"
Everyone was startled and quickly lowered their heads.
Don't look at them!
They dare not speak!
I thought the Regent was showing mercy and really wanted to take Miss Long into the palace. The words of envy had just come to my lips, but before I could say them, I didn't expect that Miss Long would suffer.
Who dares to follow in Miss Long’s footsteps?
Even if these noble ladies loved the Regent, they would not dare to have any improper thoughts.
Qin Muyu couldn't help but look at the Regent again.
It seems that he treats Ali very well.
So he felt relieved.
He immediately said, "Come here, why don't you ask Lord Long and Miss Long to leave?"
Long Xinlan was panicked: "Dad!"
Lord Long immediately knelt up straight, looked at the king on the main throne, and said in a sad voice: "Your Majesty, please have mercy! This old minister has done nothing wrong. My daughter just accidentally offended the regent. Why is it like this!"
Why is it so?
He is unwilling to accept it!
If accidentally offending the Regent is also a mistake, then isn't this too cruel and harsh?
Chu Aotian looked at this scene and waved his hands in panic:
"Lord Long, aren't you making things difficult for me by saying this? The Regent has already spoken, how can I make the decision?"
Lord Long stared: "But you are the emperor! In the Great Chu, your words are the imperial decree and the will of heaven. Who dares to disobey you?"
Chu Aotian sighed:
"Then I will follow the regent's wishes and send you and your daughter to a nunnery. Now you have got what you wished for."
"???"
etc!
That's not what he meant!
Four servants came forward and asked the father and daughter to leave the house, but they struggled.
That's not what he meant!
emperor!
Your Majesty!!
The father and daughter were dragged out, and their cries for mercy echoed miserably in the air. The lingering sound lingered for a long time, lingering in everyone's mind, making everyone present breathe harder and dare not even breathe.
It's quiet now.
Chu Dichi brushed off the corner of his clothes and raised his hand, "Come here."
Chu Li stepped forward obediently.
The man took her hand and said, "Sit beside me, don't run around anymore. There are many people here tonight. If you're not here, those ignorant people will think I'm an ownerless person and take advantage of me."
"If she could fall into the Regent's Palace by falling on me, then the Regent's Palace would already be overcrowded and crowded, so how could she get a turn?"
A cold sneer also made many people laugh in private.
really.
How could the regent be so easily provoked?
It’s what Miss Long deserves.
The heart is higher than the sky, but the life is thinner than paper.
Chu Li whispered, "Uncle, I'm not running around. I've been talking to Mu Yu, and we haven't finished talking yet."
After saying that, she raised her head and looked at Qin Muyu who was not far away.
King Yin's eyebrows jumped. If these two were to get together again, they would probably have endless things to talk about.
He immediately waved and said, "Qin Muyu, come and sit down. I have something to tell you."
Qin Muyu turned his head and glared at him, gritted his teeth and whispered: "Be polite to me!"
King Yin took a deep breath and called out helplessly:
"General Qin."
"Don't just stand there. Come here. I really have something important to discuss with you."
Qin Muyu looked at him twice, pondered for two or three seconds, then walked over reluctantly and sat down, "What's the matter?"
"Don't worry, I'll tell you slowly."
When Chu Dichi saw that Qin Muyu was sent away, he took Chu Li by the hand and made her sit next to him. He took a piece of cake and put it in Chu Li's hand. She started to take small bites and then she behaved a little better.
The man's brows relaxed and he glanced at King Yin over there. It was at this moment that he began to like this man a little more.
Hmm.
The King of Yin is still of some use here.
However...
Within half a minute, Chu Li finished the pastries, and Qin Muyu also felt that there was nothing important that King Yin wanted to talk to him about. After the two of them inadvertently made eye contact, their passion instantly ignited again.
"Ahri!"
"Muyu!"
Chu Dichi: “?”
King Yin: “?”
Before I could even finish two glasses of wine in peace, I saw the two of them get together again, talking to each other with sympathy.
Chu Dichi's face darkened and King Yin clenched his wine glass.
Silence is Cambridge tonight.
Over there, Lu Yunchu came over with a smile on his face, and spoke to several adults one by one. He unexpectedly saw the gloomy faces of the two men. He followed the direction of their gaze and looked at Chu Li and Qin Muyu over there, and immediately understood what was going on.
The person is right there, how could he run away?
"My Lord Regent, I offer you a toast."
He stepped forward with a smile and said:
"Xiao Jiu and Young Master Qin grew up together and have an extremely good relationship. I believe you can forgive them. As a man, you should be tolerant."
I believe he still has this kind of broad mind.
Chu Dichi glanced at him coldly, picked up the wine glass, and said loudly:
"Mu Xue!"
In the hall, Qin Muxue, who was chatting and laughing with Qin's mother, turned around and looked over, "Huh?"
Who called her?
"Xiao Jiu and Mu Yu were talking in private, so I won't tell you."
Qin Muxue stared in amazement.
What?
Is this really true?
This is not right!
Although her eldest brother was Ali's study companion, she also grew up with Ali, and the three of them were good friends who knew each other well. How could the two of them do something like that under her nose without bringing her along!
Qin Muxue hurriedly picked up her skirt and rushed out:
"Brother, Ahri!"
Lu Yunchu immediately raised his voice, "Xuexue..."
Before he could extend his hand, Qin Muxue didn't even glance at him when they brushed shoulders. She just buried her head between Chu Li and Qin Muyu:
"What are you talking about?"
"Mu Yu said that six years ago, a jar of wine was buried under the crabapple tree in the courtyard."
"It's been six years! Let's dig it out and enjoy some tea!"
"Walk!"
The words were concise and to the point, and they all agreed upon it. The three of them hooked up and ran off.
Lu Yunchu, with his hand still outstretched: "..."
-
It's a new day and the sun is shining brightly.
In the magnificent hall, the civil and military officials saluted in unison and loudly. Chu Aotian sat on the highest dragon throne, thinking about the morning sickness he suffered every night. He would have to ask the imperial kitchen to make some hawthorn cakes after the court session.
"emperor."
One of the ministers stood up and said, "I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."
Chu Aotian looked at him: "Generally, this kind of situation shouldn't be discussed."
“Uh…”
"Forget it, just tell me." I can't guarantee whether you will listen or not.
"Yes," the minister said, bowing, "Your Majesty, Lord Long is a trusted minister of our dynasty. He was severely punished just because he accidentally bumped into the regent. Will this discourage the officials? Is it too harsh?"
That night, civil and military officials had different opinions about what happened in the general's mansion.
Some officials believed that Lord Long had evil intentions and deserved to be punished.
Some officials thought that the regent was too harsh. Today, Lord Long suffered, but one day it might be their turn.
Some officials even believe that...
The Regent has overstepped his authority.
The regent is not a king, so he has no right to dismiss officials!
Chu Aotian said, "You also know that he offended the Regent. Can you let it go with just one sentence of carelessness? If the criminals use carelessness as an excuse before they die, can they all be spared from death?"
The minister looked embarrassed:
"Your Majesty, these two things cannot be confused at all!"
Lord Long’s matter is not that serious at all.
"Besides, the regent sent officials to prison in front of you without asking for your opinion. He simply doesn't take you seriously."
Chu Aotian nodded in approval:
"My uncle has never taken me seriously since I was a child."
The minister was stunned.
Ah this?
He has already said so, why is the emperor not angry?
"Your Majesty! The Regent is disrespecting the emperor and ignoring his authority. Are you going to indulge him? Who is the person sitting on the dragon throne..."
"presumptuous!"
A loud slam on the table and a cold shout shocked everyone so much that they all fell to their knees.
Chu Aotian glanced at the group of people. Didn’t he know what they were thinking?
Half a month ago, Lord Li took advantage of his gentle and easy-going nature and accused him of wrongdoings based on his merits, and he was forcibly punished in the name of the Regent.
Last month, Lord Lin wanted to put his daughter into the harem to come between him and the queen, but he rejected the idea with the excuse of being the regent.
And there is that old guy, Lord Long, who relies on his status as an old minister to show off his power in the court. I have long wanted to deal with him.
Fortunately, with the support of the emperor's uncle, I was able to control this group of people.
They want to reach out to the emperor's uncle, isn't it just to get rid of this helper so that they can easily control him who has a gentle and accommodating personality and has no talent for governing a country?
Chu Aotian smiled and said:
"I'm sure you all know how I got to the throne. Not to mention that the regent despises the king, even if he wants the throne, I have to respect him as my uncle. If you want to reprimand him, just go and tell him. What do you want to tell me?"
Everyone was terrified:
"this……"
"You guys don't dare, do you?"
Oh!
"Everyone is dissatisfied with the Regent, but they dare not confront him directly, so they want to use me as a pawn."
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I have absolutely no such intention!"
"So what did you mean just now?"
“This, this, your humble servant…”
"Okay, I've decided to help you. I'll go meet the Emperor's uncle after the court session and tell him all your dissatisfaction and complaints against him. Just wait for the news."
"ah?!"
Your Majesty, you can’t do this!
The minister was so frightened that his eyes widened, his neck twisted, and he fell forward.
-
The morning court is over.
Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has handled simple matters very well, implemented benevolent policies, and loved the people, and he is also loved by the people.
If it is a difficult matter, the Regent will be used as a shield.
As time went by, the officials were unable to obtain any benefits, and they had long been resentful and extremely dissatisfied with the regent.
The emperor has a weak character and is easy to control, but there is a regent watching over him, which makes them very worried.
Suddenly, rumors spread from nowhere throughout the imperial capital:
"Have you heard? Our emperor is just a puppet..."
"Isn't it? The Emperor is just a pawn in the hands of the Regent."
"Your Majesty cannot make the decision..."
"He is the most cowardly emperor in history..."
"The regent is so presumptuous. If he doesn't return power to the emperor as soon as possible, will he rebel?"
Rumors spread.
When these fragmented words reached the Regent's Palace, Chu Dichi was drinking medicine. The bitter medicine went down his throat, but his eyes were filled with gloom.
"Is that what's being spread out there?"
Jingying lowered his head, a little frightened.
Chu Li held the candied fruit in her hand and said, "Uncle, don't take it to heart. God is watching what you do. No matter whether you do well or not, there will always be people talking about it."
It's hard to satisfy everyone.
It is impossible to take care of everyone's trivia such as human relationships and reputation. The only thing you can do is take care of yourself.
Chu Dichi's smile did not reach his eyes, "It seems that some people are tired of living."
Jingying immediately said:
"Master, please calm down. The Emperor has learned about this and has sent people to investigate!"
The emperor was also very angry.
Chu Aotian's ideal is to manage the government well, make the people well fed and warmly clothed, avoid war, have rice in the pot and money in the pocket, and let everyone live a good life. However, there are a few bad apples who are tired of the good life and want to die.
Isn’t it a wonderful thing for everyone to live and work in peace and prosperity?
At this time, outside the courtyard, Qin Muyu strode over:
"I'll check!"
"I will assist you."
Chu Li turned around and saw two people walking towards him one after the other. He was stunned for a moment: "Why are you together?"
