Chapter 1300 The disaster has occurred
"The execution of Li Wei and his son will probably be postponed, so you should stay out of the fun." Prince Changyang said.
Nan Xiang was surprised: "Why was it shelved?"
"Li Xi sounded the drum to protest his innocence this morning and surrendered himself." Prince Changyang got the news early in the morning.
Nan Xiang was stunned when she heard this.
Princess Changyang was also surprised: "Li Xi surrendered himself? Then why did he kill Master Zhang?"
"Who knows?" Prince Changyang didn't know the reason.
"If someone surrenders himself, won't the court's verdict on the Minister's Mansion become a joke?" Princess Changyang knew in the inner house that the verdict was made by the emperor, and surrendering himself would be a slap in the face of the emperor.
"Now that things have turned out like this, Li Wei won't die for the time being, but Li Xi will definitely die, and the royal family's reputation will be damaged. Even if the Minister's Mansion is removed, those who are exiled will be exiled, and those who are sold will be sold. The emperor will not pardon their crimes. I'm afraid that Li Wei and his son will suffer more than death if they are alive." If Li Xi had surrendered earlier, the Minister's Mansion could have avoided the disaster.
He surrendered himself after the imperial decree was announced, which only resulted in one more death.
Nan Xiang heard something from the conversation: "You've done something about the evil you've done. Who are you going to show up to now?"
"Yeah, it's late."
Prince Changyang couldn't understand why Li Xi didn't surrender himself voluntarily, and harmed the entire Li family alone.
Ye Qianning did not feel any sympathy for this. He could only say that everyone has their own destiny and that those who commit evil will suffer the consequences. Who made the Li family have to deal with someone like Li Xi?
"Little girl, I heard that you set up a lot of tents in the west of the city. Do you need any more manpower?" Prince Changyang changed the subject.
"We have enough manpower for the construction, but we need some people who can do the physical work." There are many people in the west of the city, but most of them are scholars. At most, they can help with holding things, hammering nails, and pulling wires, which all require strength, and it would be best if they have internal strength.
"There are some guards in the palace. I'll ask them to go to the west of the city to help."
"Father, do you even need to tell me that? Yesterday I took the guards from my palace to help out in the west of the city." Nan Xiang said with a hint of pride, "You didn't see how exquisite the tents Aning designed are. They are so much better than those in the military camp."
"Oh? How exquisite can it be?" Prince Changyang became interested.
"The construction base is solid. Even though it's made of ropes, it's very sturdy."
"Rope weaving?" Prince Changyang had never heard of this construction method and looked at Ye Qianning with curiosity.
"Well, it can be used as an elevated foundation. It is less labor-intensive and faster than building a platform." The tent that Ye Qianning built mainly needed to be raised. The area in the west of the city was too large, and it was too difficult to raise it completely.
You can only put some supports on the ground, use durable ropes to wrap around the upper and lower layers of wooden sticks, and insert wooden boards on top to raise them as a base.
Of course, the operator must be very strong and the rope must be pulled to the extreme without any slack.
"There's this kind of construction. I'm going to go and see it for myself later."
"Father, I'll go with you." Nan Xiang happened to be worried about not being able to gather enough people. If her father was interested, she would have all the people she needed.
Princess Changyang was helpless: "Just listen to the wind and believe it will rain."
"Mother, the construction in the west of the city is truly ingenious. You don't understand. If Father were to see it, he would surely be very interested. It will also be useful for future wars and garrisons." Nan Xiang grabbed Prince Changyang's arm and said, "Father, let's go and take a look."
"Okay, I'll go take a look." Prince Changyang was indeed curious after hearing what she said: "Little girl, do you want to come with us?"
"I won't go. I have something to do later." Ye Qianning refused with a smile.
