The rise of the prince

Chapter 149

The person who came was Fu An, the chief eunuch in the palace, and the frame of the carriage was all from the palace. Li Ye was a little dizzy, so he leaned on the carriage to slow down.

He actually didn't want to go, but the other party was the emperor, his grandfather.

Although he can hardly remember what his grandfather looked like, what does it mean to be an emperor in such an era?It means supreme power, especially when Degong was chatting with Degong before, Degong told him that the current emperor is extremely powerful and has centralized power in one body, and almost no one dares to disagree with him. Li Ye is inevitably a little nervous, but he I also understand that it’s not okay to go, it’s all about emotion and reason.

The carriage slowly passed through Kaiyuan Street. There is no curfew tonight. There are bright lights and noise everywhere, and the sound of firecrackers can be heard from time to time.

Looking at the sparks flickering in the night sky, he couldn't help but think of the saltpeter at home. He made saltpeter several times by himself, and collected about five catties of saltpeter, but he didn't have a chance to use it. It seems that he will be busy next year.

Watching the New Year's Eve tonight, tomorrow there will be a grand ceremony in the First Palace of the Lunar New Year, so he doesn't have a title, so he doesn't need to go.

With the sound of firecrackers, the year is gone, and the years are a force that no one can resist. Li Ye was in a daze, and the carriage passed the tall Meridian Gate, entered the palace wall, and rushed all the way to the main hall of Changchun.

From a distance, he could see the palace, brightly lit, twinkling like stars, like a giant island in the color.After getting off the bus, there is still a long way in front of the hall, and there are countless long steps. Standing on both sides are the elite soldiers of the Shangzhiqin Guards, and Fuan Xiaobu is leading the way.

But he was too fast, feeling like a race, Li Ye couldn't help but said: "Elder-in-law, slow down, I can't keep up."

Fu An was taken aback, it was the first time someone said that to him, it was hard to deal with it for a while, so he nodded and slowed down.

Li Ye observed the armor on the guards of Shangzhi who stood guard on both sides. It is a matter of great importance for a soldier to be a country. As long as it is a weapon, it must be a comprehensive embodiment of the technology and craftsmanship of a country and an era, and it is no exception at any time.

These Shangzhi personal guards are well-equipped, typical scale armor, this kind of armor is complex and well-crafted, and the main body is a large number of iron sheets connected in series, at least thousands.The so-called armor, armor refers to metal, armor refers to leather, and the combination of the two is the armor.

Li Ye walked while watching, making several guards look uncomfortable.

Li Ye could only enter the hall after Fu An announced loudly.
The entire Changchun Hall is very spacious, and the corners are heated by charcoal fires, making it very warm. When you walk in, there are desks on both sides, full of people.

In the eyes of everyone, Li Ye walked through the hall calmly, still staggering from the alcohol, and soon saw the emperor and empress sitting high above. The emperor was older than he remembered, with a hooked nose and an expressionless face.

Li Ye only made a bow, and Fu An quickly ran up and whispered in his ear to remind him that he should bow down when meeting the emperor.

Only then did he kneel down: "Greetings to the emperor."

"Look at him, look at him! It's okay to be rude, and you have done such a disgraceful thing to me!" The emperor said angrily from above, and Li Ye could also hear the unfriendliness in his words.

"It's not for anything else to send you into the palace. Tell yourself about the good things you have done in the past few days!"

Li Ye was a little dazed, he thought it was Chinese New Year, so it was just rumored that he would come in to watch the new year, but he didn't expect to scold him when they met, and he felt furious.

"Don't tell me, don't tell me, I'll tell you for you!" The emperor stood up angrily: "Did you beat that Imperial Supervisor Lu Ming? You are so capable! I beat Chen Yu before, and I finally calmed down the matter, but now You beat the Imperial College again, don’t you feel at ease after tearing down the Imperial College, ah!”

It turned out that because of this, Li Ye became angry all of a sudden. If he had a good temper that could contain the fire, he would not have fallen to the point of being a Taoist in his previous life.

The emperor didn't distinguish between black and white, and when he came up on New Year's Eve, he scolded him!And let him treat a person he has never met as a grandfather?He couldn't do it in his heart.

The atmosphere is delicate and tense.

But he is Li Ye, he didn't rush to answer, but asked: "Can I stand up?"

"You, how can you talk to Grandpa Huang like this, Grandpa Huang is asking you something, it's really rude!" The emperor didn't speak yet, but a man in his twenties jumped out beside him and pointed at him to speak righteously.

"Who are you?" Li Ye asked him, still calmly, "Why do you interrupt me when I'm talking to Grandpa Huang, can I stand up and ask you? You are the emperor!" The air was so frightened that the young man retreated again and again, and he was speechless.

The whole hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at this direction quietly. They never expected that they were doing well a moment ago, but the emperor scolded the younger generation, why did it suddenly become like this, this Li Xingzhou is so evil!But it seems to have a subtle calmness and restraint.

There is anxiety in the eyes, there is fear, and there is waiting to see a good show.
The emperor was also taken aback by his reaction, Li Xingzhou's handling seemed unexpected, and then said: "You! Don't be rude, he is your cousin, Li Huan, the eldest son of your uncle and prince, stand up and say it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ye stood up on his own, and the chief prince over there immediately stood up when he saw this. He was dressed in a gold-patterned red robe, and Li Ye immediately knew that he was the prince, because only princes can wear gold-patterned red robes. Purple for grade three and above, red for princes and princes, and black for emperors.

Before the emperor asked, he began to speak in the tone of an elder. He seemed to be protecting him, but in fact he put him on the fire: "Xingzhou, uncle here has to say a few words about you, in front of your grandpa. , many uncles are also there, what is your attitude? The emperor's grandfather scolded you to remind you, to take care of you, how can young people be so hostile, you must know how to restrain yourself, there are ancient rules."

"The emperor told the emperor that I beat the Imperial College students?" Li Ye didn't answer directly at all, and asked abruptly.

"Of course not, I'm saying."

"The emperor uncle saw me hitting that Lu Ming?" Li Ye didn't give him a chance to speak.

"No, I'm going to say."

"Was the emperor's uncle present?"

"never"

"That's just hearsay." Li Ye bit the key point and pressed him step by step: "First, you didn't mention this matter, second, you were not present, and third, you are not an eyewitness. Do you want to talk about hearsay in front of the queen? !" Finally, Li Ye suddenly shouted.

"I" the prince panicked for a moment, he took several steps back, unable to answer the words: "I'm just teaching the younger generation for my father, don't... don't be aggressive, use forceful words!"

"I think it's the emperor's uncle's hearsay, let's disturb the saint's hearing!"

At this time, Li Ye's blood was surging, his alcohol and anger were mixed together. If he hadn't kept reminding himself that the emperor was present, he would really beat the prince.

Judging by the performance of him and his son, Li Ye could guess who provoked what happened tonight in all likelihood.

The prince lost a series of defeats and was completely afraid to come out to speak. I don't know if he was scared or he really had nothing to say. Li Ye glanced at him, then turned around: "The emperor wants to ask, then ask."

The whole hall was silent, everyone stared at this side blankly, not only the prince and princess, but also the concubines in the harem and the eunuchs and maids waiting around!

Everyone felt an indescribable aura, centered on the young prince standing upright in the hall, cold and oppressive, making children dare not cry, adults dare not lie, and the Changchun Hall was dead silent for a while. people.

Everyone whispered, why is it that the son is like a different person.
