Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 61 Almost Became a Eunuch
"Wei Zheng, this old man, is so angry!" Li Er said angrily when he came to Empress Changsun's bedroom and entered the door.

"What's the matter, Your Majesty? The concubine made a bowl of white fungus porridge and hasn't moved yet. Your Majesty drank it to calm down." Empress Changsun waved her hand to signal the silent palace maids and eunuchs to step down. She didn't salute. Instead, he comforted Li Er like a big sister.

"That old man Wei Zheng actually scolded me in the palace today for being lustful and far-fetched and shameless! What's even more exasperating is that Jin Guitang's little bastard actually asked Wei Zheng to tell me that Empress Xiao is beautiful, and if he looks down on me, he might arouse people Criticism, do I look like such a lecherous person?" Li Er ate a few mouthfuls of white fungus porridge, calmed down his anger a little, and explained the reason for his anger, saying that in the end, his confidence was lacking, because he knew better than anyone else, What Wei Zheng said makes sense, not to mention the female officials who are elected to the palace every year, his sister-in-law and sister-in-law are indeed paid by him, and they can be "reluctantly" counted as "lusty far away gifts".

"It's all the concubine's fault, and I didn't take your Majesty's reputation into account." After hearing this, Empress Changsun first confessed her mistakes. Admitting mistakes in front of her own man and taking part of the responsibility will win the man's favor and favor. Empress Changsun is not stupid .

"How can you blame the Avalokitesvara? The Avalokitesvara wants my Tang Dynasty to flourish, and it's all the fault of that old man Wei Zheng." Li Er couldn't help feeling guilty when he saw that Empress Changsun was so virtuous. Has too many concubines and neglected the eldest grandson queen?

"Wei Zheng is not wrong." Empress Changsun saw Li Er's face turned pale, and said what she wanted, "Didn't your majesty also say that 'the king is the dark lord, the minister is the sycophant, the king is the dark sycophant, and death is not far away' , Have you ever said, "Rescue me from evil, and never disobey my will with blunt words, but always blame each other'? Now there are admonishers pointing out your majesty's mistakes, this is the foundation of the long-term stability of the Tang Dynasty."

"Oh, I was impulsive. That little bastard of Jin Guitang said that I am a 'Heavenly Khan', and I need to have a mind as broad as the sky. I still have to work hard!" Rolling the donkey downhill, by the way, he said a famous quote from Jin Yu that made him very useful.

"I heard that the kid was troubled by the medicine seekers a few days ago." The eldest grandson was so happy that Li Er changed the subject, and his gossip and teasing tone brought out his good impression of Jin Yu.Who says women are not jealous?It's just that a high-ranking person like Empress Changsun pays more attention to family and status. Some things are forced by the situation, but it doesn't mean that they are willing to do so in their hearts.Now, because of Jin Yu's fanciful words, Li Er's admiration for Empress Xiao has largely been dispelled, and in the future he can justifiably reduce the number of female officials who enter the palace every year, so the eldest grandson's affection for Jin Yu has increased. There is an extra layer.

"Huh, this kid is too cunning, I asked him to be the prince's companion, and he dared to refuse." Speaking of Jin Yu, Li Er was still a little conflicted in his heart, and there was a little dissatisfaction in his tone of voice.

"On the contrary, the concubine thinks that it is good for Guitang to do this, and she has self-knowledge." At this time, Empress Changsun's favor for Jin Yu played a role, and said a fair word.

"How do you say this?" Empress Changsun rarely spoke against Li Er's words, which surprised him.

"You think, Jin returned to the Tang Dynasty and came to my Great Tang Yueyu, right? Is the talent he has shown possessed by ordinary people? The concubine secretly speculates that he will do more. Going to a high position will be detrimental to Tang Sheji, so it is better to have a title like this now. What do you think, Your Majesty?" Empress Changsun fully considered from the Li family's position, and expressed her own analysis.

"That makes sense. The maidservant Guanyin is really my good helper." Li Er nodded in agreement, "Du Aiqing also suggested that this kid be admitted to the Imperial College as a professor in the Ganlu Hall yesterday, but I didn't agree. .”

"It's good to observe for a while, so as to return to the talents of Tang Dynasty. If you are loyal to Datang, it will be a blessing to Your Majesty." After all, Empress Changsun is the queen of Datang. Chen, still makes her a little worried.

*******************
At the same time, there is a pair of brothers and sisters in the imperial garden. The girl is Li Lizhi, Princess of Changle, the beloved daughter of His Majesty Li Er, and the boy is not her own brother Li Chengqian or Li Tai, but her half-brother Li Ke.

"Third brother, fourth brother was grounded by the emperor, have you gone to see him?" Princess Changle was wearing a long court dress, the color was elegant and quiet, and the folds were handled just right. The shape and height have not been affected at all, perhaps this is the benefit of young people being strong.However, no matter how beautiful the clothes are, they can't hide the worry on Changle's face.

"Oh, I went, but the fourth brother didn't let me in." Li Ke sighed and shook his head.

"I'm a little better than you, but I was let in, but the fourth brother didn't look good, as if it was my fault that he was grounded." Chang Le angrily ravaged the petals in his hand.

"Now we are almost the culprit in his eyes." Looking at the puzzled Chang Le, Li Ke continued to explain: "The last time when I saved you, Jingui Tang yelled at the fourth brother. Punish him, but he was saving you at that time, how could he interrupt? I stopped him. Later, he may have found someone to beat Gui Tang privately, and then he was grounded by the emperor."

Hearing Li Ke talk about Jinyu saving people, Chang Le's face burned, thinking of those warm lips, and those magical hands, but later when he secretly pressed it, he didn't feel that way, it's really strange Woolen cloth.

"Ah?" Hearing Li Ke say that Jin Yu bumped into Li Tai because he saved himself, Chang Le was not only worried, but nervous, "Why didn't my sister hear about it at all, Jin ```is he okay?"

"It should be fine. Last time when the king went to ask for medicine for you, he still hung his arm and said he had sprained it. It only took less than 20 days, and it is already healed. 'A hundred days of injury', It is estimated that Gui Tang is pretending. How can someone who can capture Jieli Khan be easily injured?" Li Ke wrinkled his nose and said his guess.

"Oh." Hearing that Jinyu is fine, Changle Gaoxuan's little heart finally fell to the ground, "Third brother, do you think fourth brother will still trouble that person?" Changle is always shy and unwilling to mention it. Jin Yu's name.

"Maybe? The fourth brother has never suffered such a big loss since he was a child." Li Ke has been paying attention to the news of Jin Yu and Yang Ying since he knew that Yang Ying was his aunt.

"Then what should we do?" Chang Le was a little anxious, "Why don't you let him enter the palace? It's better to look under your nose."

"Ah?" Hearing what Chang Le said, Li Ke was surprised, "He is the only one left in the Tang family who returned from Jin, so he must not be able to enter the palace."

"Oh, third brother misunderstood!" Chang Le saw Li Ke's expression, reacted, and blushed, "Sister means to ask him to be a companion for you, or a bodyguard, not a eunuch! "

"Hehe, I was shocked. It's not likely. A few days ago, the emperor asked him to be the prince's companion, but he refused." Li Ke laughed and said what happened a few days ago, "And Let's see and tell, Jin Guitang is not a fool who is slaughtered by others."
