Chapter 563
Duke Li also knew that this marriage was unworthy, but he didn't like his son marrying a princess even more.

I could only say with a sullen face, "Princess, don't just talk nonsense, I must have my reasons!"

"What reason! Do you dare to say it in front of the emperor!" Princess Anping pressed her every step of the way!
Li Guogong was indeed dissatisfied, but the matter was urgent, so he could only follow his mother's wishes.

He said in a bit of embarrassment, "That girl is my uncle's granddaughter, gentle and virtuous, and knows her roots! So what if she is young, Lan'er is not healthy enough to raise her for a few years and just happens to get married!"

"I'm doing this for his own good!" Li Guogong added earnestly.

Hu Zhilan stood beside him, neither sad nor happy, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Princess Anping sneered, "You don't want to sacrifice your eldest son if you want to drag down your uncle's family who are useless. There are several sons in the family!"

"Then Hu Jizong is about the same age as that woman. I heard that he is the most favored. Wouldn't it be better to let him marry!"

Li Guogong was startled, shook his head and said: "He is still young, don't worry!"

"Yesterday, everyone guessed your petty thoughts. You really were partial. You deliberately didn't get engaged to your cousin because you were sure that your cousin would not live long. You must prepare your youngest son to inherit everything from him!"

"Shut up!" Li Guogong was furious, "It's nonsense, I swear to God, I never thought about it like this!"

Hengxuan noticed that the national teacher was happily eating snacks while watching a play, and guessed that she liked to listen to such trivial gossip.

Asked: "Oh, what are they talking about? Tell me to hear it!"

Princess Anping immediately told the crowd's guesses one by one. Heng Xuan listened and noticed that Li Guogong's face turned green and then pale.

He was so angry that he could only bear it in front of him, and his face soon turned purple.

Watching the play is really interesting!
He nodded, "After listening to these analysis, I think it makes sense!"

Princess Anping quickly said, "Yes, Aunt Shuhui's dystocia was indeed doubtful. My cousin was raised very well in my aunt's womb, so why did he become weak and sickly when he was born? You need to investigate carefully!"

"If the gossip reaches the emperor's grandmother's ears, the old man will be sad when he thinks of his aunt!"

Li Guogong was furious, and he knelt down, "Your Majesty, the princess really passed away in a difficult childbirth. I promise that no one will dare to harm her!"

"As for Lan'er, it was the princess who accidentally slipped and fell into dystocia, and she became so weak after being held in her belly for a long time. The whole family respects the princess very much, no one dares to stretch out her hand to frame her!"

Hengxuan's harem only has the queen, and there is no intrigue for the time being.

But he used to be the son of Zhennan Wang, because his father doted on Concubine Qi more, and the mother and son had a difficult life in the palace, and they suffered a lot from childhood to adulthood!

Reminiscing about the past, he snorted sullenly, "Princess Shuhui passed away only 20 years ago, if someone framed her, she would definitely find clues!"

"You don't need to rush to prove your innocence, just let me send someone to investigate and return your innocence!" He said eloquently.

Li Guogong's face was ashen, and if he really wanted to investigate, he would definitely find out something. Although he was sure that the matter had nothing to do with him, he couldn't guarantee whether his cousin had done something wrong!
Then I thought that my cousin had passed away for many years, if I wanted to find out the problem, I would call for injustice, and I should not be implicated!
His heart calmed down a little, he stopped being entangled and said sternly: "I have a clear conscience, Your Majesty will investigate as you please!"

Princess Anping just used the matter of Princess Shuhui as a cover, and said: "It is not easy to find out what happened in the past, but now there is a matter that requires the emperor to be the master!"

"My cousin was recuperating well in the village, but he was pushed into the lake by his stepmother's younger brother. If my sister-in-law hadn't happened to meet me, my cousin might have been killed by him!"

With the eldest princess here, Anping continues to sue!

"Oh, and this!"

The face of Li Guogong who had just recovered turned pale again, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the matter is not as the princess said! The boy did go to the village to mess around, but he is really not sincere!"

"This brother fights and fights, no one wants to have an accident!"

Anping sneered, "Since it was an accident, why did your youngest son run back quietly instead of shouting for help when he saw his cousin falling into the water!"

Li Guogong had a bitter face, "The child is too young, he suddenly panicked and did such an inappropriate thing, the minister has punished him severely!"

Anping sneered, "If it weren't for the presence of everyone, Li Guo would not be willing to punish Aizi. The punishment you said is to make him kneel in the ancestral hall for two hours is too light!"

Li Guogong gritted his teeth and said, "Princess, don't worry, I will punish that little beast severely when I go back, and let him kowtow to Lan'er to make amends!"

As the emperor, Hengxuan put everything that happened in the Duke's Mansion that day, including every word that everyone said, on his case.

Seeing the teacher's thoughtful smile again, he said, "The Duke of Li should be punished for not being strict with his son!"

Li Guogong quickly kowtowed, "The crime of the minister!"

Hengxuan remembered what the National Teacher said yesterday that parents who spoil their children should also be jointly and severally responsible!
He stared coldly at Duke Li who was kneeling down, thinking how to punish him?
As the top ten heroes of the founding of the country, the government of Liguo is not as good as one generation after another!

When King Zhennan ruled the government before, Li Guogong's government and Qi's family had close contacts!

After Hengxuan ascended the throne, he completely suppressed Zhennan Wangyi, and the Qi family even ransacked and executed them all. However, he hesitated about the Liguo Mansion!

After all, it is a family of meritorious founding. There are many small problems, but there are not too many big problems, which are not easy to break out.

Let him go for now!
"You get up first! The Duke of Li is not strict in teaching his children. If a bowl of water is uneven, he should be punished. But it's all a family matter. I have to think about it!"

After speaking, he looked at Shutong, "I don't know if the eldest princess has any suggestions?"

Shutong waved his hands and said, "Why do you ask me? I just came to see the excitement!"

When it came to the second leader standing behind her with hands down, with a look of eagerness to try, Heng Xuan recognized this person and knew that he was the right-hand man of the national teacher.

Pointing at him, "Tell me!"

The second master gave a sad smile before taking a step forward, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

"Actually, it's all a family matter, so let me give you a little suggestion!"

"Duke Li, this eldest son is your eldest son, right?"

Li Guogong didn't know what it meant, he nodded, "Yes!"

"I heard that if the aristocrats of this family have titles, they would invite them to be crowned sons early. I wonder what your plan is?"

Duke Li was taken aback, he did have selfish intentions!

The eldest son was weak and feared that he would not live a long life. He doubted that his son would not survive him. It would be superfluous to invite him to be the crown prince, so he kept delaying it.

But the matter is urgent right now, so I can only bow my head, "I am confused, I am willing to write a letter to ask the eldest son to be the eldest son!"

Hengxuan suddenly remembered that he was registered as the son of Zhennan Prince.

At that time, my uncle was still there, and my aunt was still a powerful queen, but my heir's position was not going well!
The father prefers the children of Concubine Qi, so he repeatedly evaded, and finally he had no choice but to stand up for himself.

Thinking of myself, I suddenly felt that Mr. Hu and him are in the same illness and pity each other, and they are not favored!

He said blankly, "Let the Ministry of Rites handle it!"

The second master smiled again, "It should have been like this long ago! Your Majesty, Mr. Hu and Princess Anping are in love with each other, so why don't you give them a marriage? It's even more joyful!"

Heng Xuan nodded, "That's exactly what I mean!"

Li Guogong was not reconciled, "Your Majesty, it's not easy for the minister's mother to break her promise!"
