Chapter 298 Work
“No, I…”
"Use it! Why not?
Brother, please don’t listen to Li Laoer’s barking. I, Li Laosi, am not the kind of person who would destroy the bridge after crossing it.
You can review the memorials without any hesitation, I promise I won't say a word! "
As Li Laosi rushed to the desk, he still remembered to force a tranquilizer into his elder brother's mouth, which made King An tremble with anger again.
"Your Majesty, a ruler must be measured in his words and actions, and the royal dignity must not be lost! Don't start speaking those vulgar words, it is really unworthy of being in a noble place!
"Remember to be mindful of your words and actions at all times, and don't let the censors always find fault with you. You are now a king, and you are always the first one to be reported by the censors at court meetings. How can this be justified?"
"They are just trying to find fault with me and cause trouble for me!"
Li Chengxiu was furious when he mentioned that he was always being criticized by the people in the Censorate. He wrote with great enthusiasm while turning his head to defend himself.
"My temper is much better now than before. I haven't cursed in the court for a long time, right?
Do you think those ministers are being a little too demanding and no longer taking me, Li Laosi, as a serious person?
Especially Old Man Liu, your father-in-law, Li Laoer!
Does he have some personal grudge against me, which is why he keeps looking at me with those sharp eyes, always trying to find out every little flaw I have?
Li Laoer sneered and ignored him. Li Lao turned around and left angrily.
"You don't just have a little problem on your body, it's clearly a bunch of problems with you on top!
"Forget it, I haven't lived long enough yet, so I'll go back and take a rest. Your Majesty, please take care of the government affairs, I'll take my leave!"
When he finally remembered to feel sorry for himself, even a sick duck could run very fast. His Royal Highness Prince An disappeared at the door of the hall in the blink of an eye.
"Brother, don't go, brother! Come back!"
Li Lao Si threw down his pen and wanted to chase back the cattle and horses, ah, to chase back his eldest brother. But the smug Li Lao Er, with a sly grin, flashed out and blocked his way.
"Fourth brother, I can help you with anything. Don't you want to review memorials? How about I help you? Hehehe."
"Go, hurry up!"
Li Laosi turned his head away angrily.
"Do you really think I'm stupid? The warning the boss gave before he left was clearly directed at you! You dare to covet the king's authority? Li Laoer, are you getting cocky?"
"Oh, you took my kindness for granted? You really can't tell the difference between a good person and a bad person from childhood to adulthood! Goodbye!"
Li Laoer also turned around and left.
"Humph, it's just donkey liver and lungs. No matter how fancy the wrapping is, you're still not a good cake!"
He turned back to the pile of memorials angrily and sat down miserably. He turned his head to look around, feeling like crying but unable to.
I have two piles of work in front of me, one is probably mine, and the other is probably mine too.
His left hand, clasping his right hand tightly and with great loyalty, couldn't bear to plunge his good friend into this sea of suffering. A gentleman uses words rather than fists; this was his last act of stubbornness.
"Fourth brother, if there's nothing else, then, then I'll leave first."
Li Laowu asked cautiously, and then his fourth brother raised his lips and smiled sinisterly.
"Do you dare to try and take one?"
"...No, if they can both leave, why can't I leave?"
"I'm your brother! Stop talking nonsense and get to work!"
"I don't!"
Li Laowu, who was very careful about his life, hugged his weak self pitifully, and hurriedly took many steps back like a shrimp, and only when he retreated to the door did he muster up the courage to refute.
"Old Five's life is also a life. You can't treat me as a serious dish just because I'm the youngest!
I remember that I was also a real prince, and a prince cannot be contaminated by memorials and covet the power of the emperor.
Your Majesty, I will take my leave now!"
After saying this, the person slipped away.
What a bunch of inhuman brothers, with no moral principles at all! Sure enough, those who are not born by the same parents are unreliable. Li Chengxiu thought of his prince brother, and his eyes were wet with heat.
He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, opened the memorial with trembling claws, picked up the pen, and began his life as a high-class ox or horse.
The sun peeked in from the edge of the window and saw the new emperor scratching his head and cursing while working. It also sighed several times in frustration and hurried to the harem to inform the queen.
In Fengming Palace.
Jiang Wan put down her pen and closed the account book. She had been busy at the table for the whole morning and finally finished dealing with the palace affairs. She supported her waist and stood up to move around the room.
Hongzhu brought a bowl of soup very promptly.
"My lady, the Tremella and Red Date Soup I just made is just right. It's hot or cold, so please have some."
He reached out to take the dessert. There was no particular requirement to sit at the table to eat, as there was no one else in the room anyway.
While taking a bite of the food, he asked about the arrangements.
"Have all the palace servants been properly accommodated?"
"Don't worry, madam. Everything has been arranged according to your instructions."
Hongzhu helped her master tidy up the table.
"All palace maids aged 23 and above who wished to leave the palace have been given severance pay and allowed to return home.
As for some eunuchs who are old and don't want to return to their hometown, I have gathered them all to live out their retirement at the farm under your name.
However, the two aunts Qingliu and Qingyang were unwilling to leave the palace and return home, saying that they were old and had no parents in their hometown, and they did not want to stay in the palace to retire.
"I have no other choice but to personally send them to the former Prince Qi's Mansion and temporarily leave them in the care of Aunt Jinping. After all, they are old acquaintances, so being together would be good for each other, right?"
"Well, you've thought it through."
He nodded slightly in praise.
"I'll go back and count the people in Prince Qi's mansion so I can make the next arrangements."
"yes."
Hongzhu thought about it and asked softly again.
"Your Majesty, what should we do about Chief Steward Wang? Regarding the future memorial service..."
Jiang Wan was silent for a moment, looked up at his personal secretary, and then sighed.
"Alas, General Wang died for his master. Although I don't advocate it, I cannot help but feel grateful for his unwavering loyalty to my father.
He doesn't have any direct descendants or anything. At most, he only has a pair of nephews, Wang Hu and Wang Bao.
Have Ma Fei take some time to go to the Duke of Ling's Mansion and tell Wang Hu that I have ordered him to release Wang Bao."
Hongzhu's brows relaxed slightly, and she looked at her master without saying anything. Jiang Wan just smiled.
"He didn't do anything serious in the first place. He didn't hide his desire to marry Lu Guo, so I shouldn't take my anger out on him.
Now that Ma Fei and Cheng Zhuo have landed decent jobs, there's no point in leaving Wang Bao alone. He's a capable guy, so it would be a shame to leave him alone."
"Yes, I obey your command!"
