Chapter two hundred and ninety six
There was sudden silence in the imperial study room.
The emperor was stunned.
Eunuch Chang and Eunuch An were stunned for a long time.
Even Changsun Jinghong never expected that Li Chenan, who had always been gentle and gentle, would become so irritable when he saw Ji Tai.
While everyone was watching in shock, Li Chenan rubbed his wrist, and Shi Shiran sat opposite the emperor.
The irritable emotion on his face disappeared instantly, and a smile appeared instead.
"Your Majesty, I...I am finally a little younger and more energetic!"
"It's just that I feel really unbearable! What is our Ningguo's most urgent need now?"
"It's food!"
"It is not only related to the payment of salaries of officials, but also to the stability of the morale of the troops on the roadside, and even to the prevention of natural disasters and relief to the victims."
He took out the fire seal, lit the tea stove on the coffee table, raised his eyes to meet the emperor's eyes, and said:
"Jitai, an old thief, does not pursue political interests in his position. He forms cliques in the court and only pursues personal interests. This makes the temple a mess!"
"My lord...forget it, I won't say this anymore."
He suddenly turned his head and looked at Chang Zuoqing, who was still surprised, "Eunuch Chang, would you like some tea?"
Chang Zuoqing swallowed his saliva and then came back to his senses. He looked at the emperor. The emperor nodded slightly and told Eunuch An beside him:
"Call someone to carry Ji Xiang to the Imperial Hospital."
"you……"
Emperor Ning looked at Li Chenan again: "You vented your anger with this punch, but have you thought about the consequences?"
Li Chenan's lips curled up: "What else can he do to me?"
"Unless you hide in the Imperial City Division for the rest of your life...just like Changsun Jinghong, lying on that broken chair all day long, otherwise...you will face great danger!"
Li Chenan pondered for a moment and suddenly asked:
"So, the emperor knows about Ji Tai's bad deeds?"
Without waiting for the emperor's answer, Li Chenan said again:
"I really want to say something to you, Your Majesty. Let the past go by. People have to look forward and move forward after all!"
"The Emperor is in his prime. As long as you are sitting in this palace, how can there be so many young people?"
"Under the emperor's governance, our country, Ning, will surely get out of its current predicament and usher in a great situation of national peace and prosperity."
"I...I don't need to lie under that crooked neck tree in the Imperial City Department!"
As soon as he said this, Eunuch Chang, who had just walked over with a tea jar, suddenly trembled in his hands and almost dropped the tea jar to the ground.
Changsun Jinghong, who was beside Li Chenan, was also suddenly startled. He pursed his lips and lowered his head slightly.
This kid, is this what you can say?
He is the emperor and your father!
How can there be any reason for a son to persuade his father?
Changsun Jinghong raised his eyes slightly, but found that there was no anger on the emperor's face, but instead looked a little lonely.
"I...I asked you to come here not to beat Prime Minister Ji to relieve your anger, nor to persuade me."
"Now is not the time to discuss the rights and wrongs of Ji Tai. The most urgent thing before us is to recover that batch of tax grains from me!"
"This matter will be handled by the Imperial City Department."
"In addition, I will leave Kyoto and go to Changle Palace in three days. After this matter is done, I will write a detailed note for Eunuch Chang to send to Changle Palace."
Li Chenan nodded in agreement: "My lord, I will do my best!"
"Okay, I'm a little tired, please step back!"
Li Chenan and Changsun Jinghong stood up and were about to leave, but the emperor said again:
"Chen'an, come to the palace in the evening the day after tomorrow and have a meal with me!"
…
…
"Why do you do that?"
After leaving the imperial study, Changsun Jinghong and Li Chenan, an old man and a young man, walked on the bluestone path in the palace. Changsun Jinghong couldn't help but ask.
This refers to Li Chenan beating Jitai in front of the emperor.
"Just to prove your identity?"
"Or is it to test the bottom line of his tolerance for you?"
Li Chenan smiled slightly and shook his head, "No."
After a pause, Li Chenan continued: "I just can't stand Ji Tai's face...it's so ugly that I can't help but want to beat him."
Changsun Jinghong looked at Li Chenan suspiciously, "Seriously?"
"Okay, I did it to anger Ji Tai."
"A person is most likely to make wrong decisions when he is angry. I will always irritate Ji Tai. It is like playing chess. The faster he moves, the more flaws will appear, which will affect the trend of the entire chess game.
Misjudgment.”
"He is an old fox. What he is good at is scheming, so we must disrupt his rhythm and make it difficult for him to plan and calculate carefully!"
"Besides, I'm just curious and want to know what the emperor's mentality is."
"I heard that before the incident in the winter of the third year of Zhaohua, he was actually a good emperor who worked hard to govern. But after that, he completely changed."
"He built Changle Palace for Queen Lu and lived in Changle Palace for a long time from then on... This shows that he is at least a sentimental and affectionate person."
"I don't really believe that there is an emperor who loves beauty and abandons his country, but today it seems that he is indeed not interested in this country."
"He clearly knows that if I beat Ji Tai, it will definitely cause a lot of conflicts and even cause a huge turmoil, but did you see him frown?"
"He didn't! This shows that he no longer cares about what happens in Kyoto, or even what happens in Ningguo."
"It's just that I have a question in my mind."
Changsun Jinghong stopped and turned to look at Li Chenan, "Any questions?"
"Since he has such deep affection for Queen Lu, he should build Changle Palace near Queen Lu's mausoleum."
"Just like Xiao Wu's deep feelings for Grandpa Sun, Xiao Wu buried Grandpa Sun's grave on Shuiyun Mountain. Standing in Yunji Bieye, you can see it when you look up."
"Queen Kelu's tomb is in the royal cemetery, Changle Palace, at the southern foot of Xishan Mountain, but it is under Dongshan Mountain, hundreds of miles away from Xishan Mountain."
"This is unreasonable!"
Changsun Jinghong's heart had already stirred up huge waves, but his face did not show it.
"You're thinking too much."
He stepped forward and walked forward, "Below the Dongshan Mountain is the vast Qishuiyuan."
"On the east mountain, there is the most famous Taiyi Taoist temple in Ningguo."
"The emperor built Changle Palace on Qishuiyuan at the foot of Dongshan Mountain. Firstly, there is enough space to build a city. Secondly...it is convenient for him to practice Taoism in Taiyi Taoism and to recite sutras for Queen Lu to achieve salvation."
Li Chenan raised his eyebrows slightly and did not discuss this issue with Changsun Jinghong.
Maybe Changsun Jinghong was right.
But he still had doubts.
The two of them passed by those yamen, and suddenly found that the noisy yamen suddenly became quiet as soon as they passed by.
It's like two princes of hell have really come to ask for their lives.
Changsun Jinghong laughed, "It seems that your punch still has some meaning."
