Chapter 483 The Curtain Opens
Chapter 483 The Curtain Opens
Li Jing's dedication of the glass mirror to Empress Changsun already represented that he had given up the benefits he had obtained.
After all, only His Majesty Li Er, who is wise and mighty, can take on major matters such as entrapping the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.
If he pocketed the money recklessly, what would greet him would be overwhelming impeachment, as well as the hatred of the civil and military courts.
Even His Majesty Li Er would be dissatisfied with him after thinking about it.
With such a strong pressure, he thought he couldn't bear it, so he had no choice but to leave the matter to the emperor and empress.
As for Empress Changsun who taught him just now, what she said about sharing weal and woe with Xungui was just a joke.
In the face of sufficient benefits, any risk will not be an obstacle.
As long as the size is right, Xungui will not take it too seriously.
On the contrary, with the wisdom of Empress Changsun, maybe it can be turned into a joke between the monarch and his ministers.
It's just that since the "artifacts" such as glass mirrors are in the world, they can't favor one person over another and only give it to the eldest grandson empress.
Otherwise, Mother Sum, who has always been kind and virtuous, will definitely let him understand what the ardent teachings of the elders are.
"Jing'er, is this glass mirror really made of colored glaze?
Although the colored glaze you gave to your mother in the past was radiant, it has never been so clear. "
East Palace.
Youchunfang.
Sum's residence.
After the initial shock, Su's mother carefully put away the glass mirror reluctantly.
Even if Li Jing told her that she would have as many glass mirrors as she wanted in the future, she still regarded them as treasures.
"Mother, how did my child ever deceive you, this glass mirror is really Liuli.
If you like it, let Nie Yuan burn some later, don't be so cautious.
Even if you take one side every day and fall one side, the baby will definitely make up for you. "
"Clap~"
"Ouch!"
"Nonsense!
Who is so extravagant! "
Mother Su reproachfully slapped Li Jing lightly.
Seeing him rubbing his head pretendingly, he asked seriously: "Jing'er.
My mother just heard that someone humiliated Wan'er in the street.
Can this be true? "
"Hehe~
However, mother doesn't have to worry about small matters, the child will handle them by herself. "
Li Jingtan pinched the little girl's face, and replied casually.
Seeing this, Mother Su's expression became more serious, she stared at Li Jing and said seriously: "Jing'er.
Since Wan'er enters the palace sooner or later, how can you treat one more favorably than another.
Although Bin'er agrees with you, you must not neglect Wan'er.
She has been wronged like this now, but you have the right to not know it.
This kind of indifferent attitude will inevitably be misunderstood. "
Li Jing was stunned for a moment, raised his head and smiled and said: "Mother, you don't know something, my child is not indifferent.
It's just that the Zuo family has a lot to do with it, and it's also related to Hai'er's past arrangements.
If you do it now, it is inevitable that all previous efforts will be wasted.
Just wait for a while, the boy will seek justice for Chen Wan. "
"Is it related to your past layout?
That's something to be cautious about. "
Mother Su murmured to herself half-believingly, looked at Li Jing and said softly: "When my mother was in Jizhou in the past, she heard that the Zuojia Zhifang was the best in the world.
Before your uncle left Beijing, he personally went to negotiate peace for you.
But I never thought that the Zuo family steward was rude and turned your uncle away.
If it wasn't for Mrs. Cui's protection, your uncle would definitely not let him go. "
"Anything else?
Old Su actually has such a heart? "
Li Jing was quite surprised when he heard this.
Mother Su tapped his forehead vigorously, and said with a smile: "Don't speak ill of your uncle!"
"Hehe~"
Li Jing smiled when he heard this, squinted his eyes and said calmly: "Since the Zuo family is so desperate, then I will ask Lao Su to send him on the road.
But just the Zuo family is not enough, the Jizhou aristocratic family can't think of being alone.
The baby is growing up recently, and the fish will not be full if there are fewer fish. "
"It's your fault!"
Su's mother gave a doting smile, and reminded softly: "Jing'er, you have a reputation for vengeance.
Now that the Zuo family is causing trouble, if you ignore it, it will arouse suspicion. "
"Mother, don't worry, the boy has just ordered Ma Zhou to arrest him.
The child of the Zuo family can't move for the time being, but the eldest son of the Zuo family will definitely not survive today. "
……
As soon as the imperial bookstore clashed, the aristocratic family in the capital fell into an eerie silence.
Everyone was waiting for the narrow-minded Li Jing to make a move, so they could see the tricks.
After all, no matter whether it is public or private, the major families will not sit back and watch the Zuo family have an accident.
Otherwise, once the imperial court controls the resources of the Zuo family, the Zhifang incident will inevitably lead to troubles.
It's just that everyone waited for half an hour, but there was no movement in the palace.
Just when Cui Renshi and others were suspicious, Ma Zhou came galloping with more than a hundred guards from the Eastern Palace.
More than a hundred people crossed the streets and alleys, and rushed straight at the Zuo family's mansion.
The people along the way were full of doubts when they saw this, but followed them with great interest.
After all, although the land of the capital is quite lively, there are not many people with such a big fanfare.
For the subjects at the feet of the emperor, watching the excitement has become an instinct.
And the spies of the major families naturally took this opportunity to hide among the common people.
"Bang~"
"what!!!"
Ma Zhou waved his hand sullenly.
Seeing that Li Cunxiao personally led the two people forward, he suddenly kicked open the gate of Zuo's house.
The servant who was peeping from behind the door suddenly screamed, and hurriedly retreated behind him.
"Humph!"
Li Cunxiao snorted coldly, and glanced at the servant contemptuously.
Then without saying a word, he held the handle of the knife, raised his leg and walked towards the courtyard.
"stop!"
Seeing that the servant was useless, Patriarch Zuo, who was hiding in the main hall of the front yard, strode out.
Frowning, he looked at the guards of the Eastern Palace who were filing in, and shouted loudly: "Who are you waiting for?
Forcibly breaking into a private house in broad daylight, do you still have the king's law in your eyes? "
"Why does Patriarch Zuo know what to ask?"
Li Cunxiao is not good at words.
When Ma Zhou saw it, he took the initiative to step forward.
"My official is Ma Zhou, an official of the Eastern Palace.
This time, I came here under the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, to arrest Zuo Yi, who committed the crime of rebellion and disrespect to the royal family..."
"absurd!
Dare to ask Mr. Ma, what has my son committed to be accused of disrespect by him! "
The Patriarch Zuo didn't wait for Ma Zhou to finish speaking, so he couldn't wait to question him.
If it was just a quarrel in the royal bookstore, maybe he would have one more thing than one less thing, first admit it and then find an opportunity to ease it.
But disrespecting the royal family is a serious crime of ransacking the family and exterminating the family, and he is unwilling to bear such charges for no reason.
"Hehe~"
Hearing this, Ma Zhou sneered, and asked loudly with a cold face: "Patriarch Zuo.
Zuo Yi molested the prince's relatives in the royal bookstore, don't you really know about this? "
"slander!
Pure slander! "
Patriarch Zuo was furious when he heard the words, pointed at Ma Zhou and asked angrily: "My son just played with the shopkeeper of the bookstore, how could he be molesting the prince's relatives?
What's more, for a fair and fair lady, a gentleman is so good.
My son has a crush on the shopkeeper of the bookstore, so why not propose to her? "
"What if the person Zuo Yi likes is a relative of His Highness the Crown Prince?
Patriarch Zuo thought that the accusation of disrespect to the royal family was because I deliberately slandered you? "
Ma Zhou sneered again, smiled and shook his head.
Patriarch Zuo was startled when he heard the words, he never expected that Ma Zhou would confess the relationship between Li Jing and Chen Wan in front of the common people.
After all, Chen Wan was born in a merchant family, so how could she marry into the royal family as a concubine.
Even though there is no rule against intermarriage between good and bad people, this practice is obviously not accepted by the world.
It's a pity that he didn't know that Li Jing had already welcomed Yan Lingbin into the door before that.
He is always thinking about finding a proper way to fight for her as the Crown Princess.
Since there are precedents.
Now even if Li Jing marries Chen Wan again, the empress and the officials would not be too surprised.
