Man Tanghong

Chapter 13 Buying people's hearts requires nourishing things silently
Li Yuanji was overjoyed, Chen Shanyi was willing to talk to him, this was definitely something to be happy about.

This shows that Chen Shanyi has begun to forgive him.

"Chen Niangniang, father has a decree for you, and you will accompany me to meet the decree."

Li Yuanji said with a hearty smile.

Chen Shanyi was a little surprised, she didn't understand why Li Yuan would give her the imperial decree, but she nodded and followed Li Yuanji to kneel in front of the incense case.

After Li Yuanji and Chen Shanyi knelt down, Liu Jun unfolded his will.

"The imperial edict said..."

Liu Jun recited a lot of gorgeous words aloud, most of which were words to praise a person for his affection, righteousness, and kindness.

It wasn't until the end that Liu Jun recited: "The person who sealed the palace, Mrs. Chen, has good intentions, and is Mrs. Ciyi. I respect you."

Chen Shanyi was shocked, and looked at the imperial decree in Liu Jun's hand in disbelief.

Li Yuanji rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Li Yuanji was very happy to hear that Li Yuan named Chen Shanyi as Mrs. Ciyi.

But Li Yuanji was a little speechless when he heard that there was nothing else behind Mrs. Ciyi.

Li Yuan only gave an empty title, and nothing else.

Is this Mrs. Ciyi an imperial order or a title?

Or something else?
Which female titles are equal in status?

How many ranks?

If there is no product or grade, then wouldn't it be inferior to even the lowest rank.

Li Yuanji complained frantically in his heart, but Chen Shanyi was too shocked to speak.

After Liu Jun read the imperial decree, he handed the imperial decree to Chen Shanyi respectfully.

"Miss Chen?"

Li Yuanji reminded Chen Shanyi.

Chen Shanyi came back to his senses and greeted the imperial edict.

Liu Jun handed over the mahogany plate to the servant girl of Prince Qi's mansion, and hurried away with all the eunuchs.

Chen Shanyi held the imperial decree tightly, her eyes were red.

Li Yuanji didn't know whether Chen Shanyi was wronged or moved.

Li Yuanji didn't bother Chen Shanyi, but told Ah Jiu, "In a while, you can tell the princess to choose a quiet place for Chen Niangniang, and then send some maidservants."

Ah Jiu agreed, "Here..."

Chen Shanyi heard Li Yuanji's order, and hurriedly said, "No...no need, I'm used to it by myself."

Li Yuanji said with a light smile: "You are now a wife, and someone should take care of you. Don't refuse."

Chen Shanyi hesitated for a moment and didn't speak again.

Although Li Yuan only gave Chen Shanyi an empty name, Li Yuanji didn't mind using this empty name to the maximum.

In the past, Chen Shanyi didn't have much status, so she couldn't be assigned as a maidservant, it was against the rules of etiquette.

Now that Chen Shanyi is famous, no one will say anything to Li Yuanji as a maidservant for her.

"Chen Niangniang, talk to me?"

Li Yuanji took the initiative to invite Chen Shanyi to sit down and have a chat, so as to get in touch with each other.

"No... no."

Chen Shanyi hesitated and rejected Li Yuanji's invitation.

Li Yuanji didn't force it either.

Chen Shanyi is already willing to talk to her, and it won't be too late to contact her in the future.

Chen Shanyi saluted Li Yuanji, and walked slowly outside the hall holding the imperial decree.

After walking two steps, he paused, hesitated for a moment, turned around, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness should walk with Second Highness more..."

After saying this, before Li Yuanji could speak, he hurriedly left the hall.

Li Yuanji stood there in a daze.

"Ms. Chen, this is..."

What do you see? !
Or did she make a certain judgment on the temperament of Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin based on this?

Li Yuanji was suspicious, and wanted to catch up and ask, but thinking of Chen Shanyi's decisiveness when he left just now, he obviously didn't want to say more. If he chased up, he probably wouldn't be able to ask any answers.

"I can only find another chance..."

Li Yuanji felt that Chen Shanyi probably didn't have that vision, otherwise he wouldn't have been torn to pieces by that idiot from his predecessor.

She should have made a judgment based on the temperament of Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin.

Li Yuanji ordered people to remove the incense case, and returned to Changji to continue studying "Treatise on Febrile Diseases".

At noon, I simply ate something.

Li Sixing and Xie Shufang returned to Wude Hall one after the other.

Li Sixing didn't come back alone, he brought two guards with him, carrying something that looked like a stretcher.

After Li Sixing passed the report, he entered the main hall of Wude Hall and saluted Li Yuanji.

"Your Majesty Li Sixing, I have met Your Highness."

Li Yuanji felt that Li Sixing was definitely a talent, so he gave Li Sixing a big smile.

"Li Changshi doesn't need to be too polite, just give me a seat."

Seeing Li Yuanji's attitude, Li Sixing was a little flattered.

In the past, he was in Prince Qi's mansion, but he was the most unpopular one.

Not only did I get a big smile today, but I was also given a seat.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Li Sixing suspected that Li Yuanji had some kind of conspiracy, so he thanked him and sat on the cushion on the side of the main hall in a nervous mood.

After Li Sixing sat down, he cupped his hands and said: "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my mission, I brought Xue Bao back to you."

With that said, Li Sixing waved to the two guards carrying the stretcher outside the hall.

Two guards carried a stretcher into the hall.

The stretcher was covered with a white cloth.

Judging from the outline outlined by the white cloth, there should be a person lying on it.

Li Yuanji's heart twitched when he saw the stretcher.

If his prediction was correct, the one lying on the stretcher should be Xue Bao.

To be precise, it should be Xue Bao's corpse.

Li Yuanji had known for a long time that the palace was a place of 'cannibalism', full of bloody cruelty everywhere.

It's just that he didn't expect to see the dead so soon.

And it's about him.

"A guard, just died like this..."

Li Yuanji sighed.

Although the guard is an honorary officer, his rank is not low, starting from the third rank.Among the ranks of honor, they are only below Shangzhu Kingdom, Zhu Kingdom, and Shanghu Army.

A guard from the third rank would die if he said he would die.

This gave Li Yuanji a new understanding of the struggle in the palace.

Hearing Li Yuanji's words, Li Sixing thought that Li Yuanji was dissatisfied with the corpse he brought back, so he hurriedly said: "I have done everything I can..."

Li Yuanji waved his hand, signaling to Li Sixing that there is no need to explain, "You have done a good job."

Seeing that Li Yuanji didn't seem to be speaking against his will, Li Sixing was also relieved.

"Come and see the corpse with me."

Li Yuanji took a deep breath, stood up and invited Li Sixing.

Li Sixing didn't understand what medicine Li Yuanji was selling in his gourd, but he got up and walked towards the stretcher.

Li Sixing took the initiative to lift the white cloth on the stretcher, revealing a slightly pale face.

Li Yuanji gritted his teeth and observed carefully.

Since you are in a place where people eat people, if you don't eat people, you will be eaten.

Then Li Yuanji could only force himself, endure the discomfort, touch the corpse, and get used to it.

Although Li Yuanji had seen countless corpses in the memory of his predecessor, it was like watching a movie, without any intuitive feeling.

Now seeing a dead body with his own eyes, Li Yuanji's heart was beating so hard that he didn't say a word.

Seeing that Li Yuanji didn't speak, Li Sixing took the initiative to introduce Li Yuanji, "I have seen it, I committed suicide by taking poison."

Li Yuanji nodded, and said: "I don't see any other wounds on his body, and there is no sign of coercion, he should have committed suicide by taking poison voluntarily.

My elder brother can make him commit suicide by taking poison voluntarily, which means that he has reached some kind of agreement with him. "

Li Sixing agreed: "Not bad."

Li Yuanji pondered and said: "I don't know how much information he has betrayed from the family."

Li Sixing's pupils shrank, "Your Highness, do you mean to continue to investigate?"

Li Yuanji shook his head, "It's not as bad as his wife and children, so it's meaningless to pursue it any further."

No need, no result.

Since Xue Bao was able to reach an agreement with Li Jiancheng, there must be provisions for the placement of his family.

At this moment, Xue Bao's family members should have been arranged by Li Jiancheng to a place where he can't find them.

Li Sixing glanced at Li Yuanji in surprise, His Royal Highness King Qi, who has always been known for his brutality, was willing to let Xue Bao's family go, which really surprised him.

Xue Bao is an insider.

Even if Li Yuanji killed Xue Bao's family, no one would say anything.

"Your Highness is kind, if Xue Bao knows about it, he should be grateful to His Highness."

Li Sixing admired him sincerely.

Although Li Sixing looked down on Li Yuanji, Li Yuanji's ability to let go of Xue Bao's family this time really made him take a high look, and he didn't mind flattering Li Ji.

"I don't need a thief to be grateful to me."

Li Yuanji laughed at himself, glanced at Li Sixing, and said, "In Li Changshi's eyes, am I the kind of person who kills the whole family if I disagree with you?"

do not you? !
Li Sixing slandered in his heart, but under Li Yuanji's gaze, he could only say against his will: "Your Highness has always been kind..."

"Hahaha, do you believe this?"

Li Yuanji laughed out loud.

Li Sixing looked embarrassed.

Li Yuanji ordered people to cover Xue Bao's body, put his hands behind his back, and said boldly: "In the past, I did do a lot of outrageous things, but I won't do them anymore.

Li Changshi is the long history of my family, he and I both prosper and lose together.

Please support me more in the future.

If I do something wrong in the future, Li Changshi can speak up and I won't blame. "

Li Sixing didn't know how true or false Li Yuanji's words were, so he immediately said perfunctorily, "Don't dare..."

Li Yuanji didn't say much, and ordered people to carry Xue Bao's body out and send it to Xue's residence.

Once Xue Bao died, the grievances between him and Xue Bao would be over, and he would not take Xue Bao's body to vent his anger.

As for Li Sixing's perfunctory treatment, he didn't care.

No matter how you say it, Li Sixing is also a hero of Taiyuan Yuanmou who rebelled with Li Yuan, and it is not so easy to subdue him.

It wasn't that Li Sixing could kneel on the ground and call him "Master" immediately after he said a word or two.

To subdue a person like Li Sixing, one must proceed step by step and slowly.

After Li Yuanji sat back in the long table, he ordered Li Sixing to sit down, and said: "Li Changshi, I recently discovered that the female officials and subordinate officials in the house have done a lot of evil things.

I have already sent Xie Shufang to investigate, found a lot of criminal evidence, and also found a lot of floating wealth and land property.

Most of the floating wealth and land properties are obtained by their ingenious plunder.

You are the long history of the mansion, so it is up to you to preside over the return of those floating wealth and land to their original owners.

If the original owner has died and has no relatives, then all the land and floating wealth will be exchanged for food and distributed to the dependent family members of the Qi Palace who died in battle in the past.

I will also ask the concubine to take out a sum of money from the mansion, and give them some cloth and salt on the first day of the first month (the first day of the first lunar month, also known as Yuan Shuo day). "
