The prostitute is poisonous: married to the disabled fourth prince after rebirth

Chapter 179 Li Jing can't afford to kneel
"Xingchuan, what are you doing here if you're not serving the fourth prince?"

Cui Yuexi asked casually, and Xingchuan stepped forward.

"Girl, the emperor issued an edict to call the master back to Beijing overnight. He left his subordinates here to protect you. I am very worried about him."

Cui Yuexi didn't expect the emperor to find Li Jing back without even giving them a chance to arrive.

"I see." Cui Yuexi was very calm. After all, it was a blessing or a curse, and they couldn't escape this disaster.

After eating, the group set out on the road. It was still two days away from the capital, and Li Jing would still have to travel for a day even if he rushed on the horse. What's more, he had a leg injury and couldn't ride a horse at all. He would not be ahead of them. How long is it to Kyoto.

Since Li Jing left, Li Moqun has become more courteous, Yun Xin looked a little worried, after all Li Jing is a man who counts every penny, if he settles accounts in the future, Li Moqun might not be able to bear it.

But after several times of persuasion by Yun Xin, Li Moqun ignored him, so he let him go.

two days later

When the group returned to the capital, Liu Yanbo directly entered the palace after sending Cui Yuexi back to the Liu residence.

Liu Yanbo and General Li met at the Meridian Gate, they looked at each other, and walked in with firm eyes.

After they entered the gate of the Taiji Hall, they saw Li Jing kneeling outside the Taiji Hall.

When the two passed by Li Jing, they nodded towards Li Jing. Looking at his firm eyes, they guessed that Li Jing was begging the emperor to exempt Jiangbei from taxes, and there was another stalemate.

When the chief eunuch went in to report that General Li and Liu Yanbo had arrived, the emperor ordered them to go in.

The two knelt down to salute the emperor. The emperor sat on the dragon chair, his sharp eyes swept over General Li.

Finally, when his eyes fell on Liu Yanbo, he became much gentler, "Liu Aiqing is flat."

After Liu Yanbo thanked Long En, he got up.

"Liu Aiqing has done a great job in controlling the locusts, what kind of reward do you want?"

The emperor questioned Liu Yanbo, but he didn't look at General Li, obviously still annoyed because he left the station.

Liu Yanbo knelt down again and clasped his fists in pleading.

"Your Majesty, over the years, you have given too many rewards to the Liu family. I have an unfeeling request. I also ask the emperor for reference."

The emperor waved his hand and refused, "Don't say it, I know what you want to say, you have to persuade me to exempt Jiangbei from taxes like that rebellious son."

Liu Yanbo knelt on the ground neither humble nor overbearing, "Your Majesty, thanks to the fourth prince's idea, the food can be kept after this locust disaster. It is also the credit of the fourth prince, and I dare not pretend to claim credit for it.

The four princes went to the disaster area, and they used the banner of the emperor to comfort the people from the beginning to the end. The people are grateful for your kindness, united as one, and survived the disaster so quickly.

The minister is very loyal to the emperor, and I hope that the emperor will be sympathetic to the people in Jiangbei, and can exempt them from taxes, so that the people can live a peaceful life. "

Liu Yanbo didn't put a high hat on the emperor, since Li Jing came to Jiangbei, he has acted in the name of the emperor.

The emperor pointed at Liu Yanbo angrily, "All of you, have you already lined up in advance?"

Liu Yanbo directly knocked his head on the ground, "Your Majesty, the hearts of ministers and others can be learned from the sun and the moon. If the Emperor does not believe it, all members of my Liu family can retreat to the court and return to their hometown."

It wasn't that Liu Yanbo threatened the emperor, he just used it to prove their loyalty to the emperor, the official position was given by the emperor, if they were really greedy, they would definitely swear to the death and not let go.

As far as the Liu family is concerned, Liu Guogong and his wife are getting old, and the three Liu Yanbo brothers have struggled in the court for many years. If it weren't for the future of the younger generation, they would have already thought of quitting.

"Are you threatening me?" The emperor slapped the dragon case angrily.

Liu Yanbo met his gaze with neither humility nor arrogance, "I'm just expressing my position, the people in Jiangbei are grateful for you when the treasury is empty, they still think of them, your majesty, the people's safety is the country's safety.

Now that foreign enemies have sneaked into Dayuan territory, there is no clue yet. If they provoke the people to provoke riots, they will only end up with a cannibalistic result, while the real enemy is sitting on the sidelines watching our jokes . "

Liu Yanbo argued hard, he had already said so much, he didn't have a chance for the emperor to speak.

"Your Majesty, I know that people speak lightly, and I am willing to kneel outside the palace with the Fourth Prince until you agree."

After Liu Yanbo finished speaking, he got up and left the Tai Chi Hall, and knelt down beside Li Jing after going out.

"Uncle, why are you bothering?"

Ever since Li Jing changed his mind about Liu Yanbo, he really treated him as a relative.

"Don't worry about the burden. If you take off your official uniform, it will be worth the food and clothing in Jiangbei. What's more, you are Yuexi's future husband. How can the Duke's Mansion let you bear it alone?"

As Liu Yanbo slipped, brothers Liu Yanji and Liu Yanhai also rushed over.

Li Jing was moved, and for the first time felt the warmth of being protected by his family.

Although Wang's family is the natal family of Concubine Xian, most of them are bound by interests. Only Liu's family allows him to experience the warmth of home.

Hall
The emperor looked angrily at the silent General Li, and asked coldly.

"Do you know what crime you have committed?"

"I shouldn't have left the station without permission, but Jiangbei was in trouble, and most of the soldiers in the station came from there. They were worried about their families. I just want to make them feel at ease, and help Jiangbei by the way."

General Li said it frankly, the emperor looked at them all without repentance, and was so angry that he wished to drag them out and kill them.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if I should say something or not." General Li was asking the Emperor, but even if the Emperor refused, he would say it.

"Then shut up." The emperor was angry, but General Li continued.

"The emperor was far away in the capital, and he didn't know how desperate the people were when the locust plague came. Knowing the way to burn the locusts, they stayed up all night holding torches in the field, just to keep the last rations.

Your Majesty, have you ever thought about what it would be like if the locust plague had not been brought under control and Jiangbei would have no crops? A large number of refugees flooded into the capital and starved to death everywhere. Is that really what you want to see?

And the fourth prince tried his best to turn the tide, you know, he was almost killed in Qingfengdu, if he didn't cross quickly, he would be buried in the long river.

Your majesty, even if the fourth prince has no merit, it is not that he will be accused of making a mistake after suffering so much.

He is your own son, what's more, his leg has not healed, and it is not easy to come back alive in the environment like Jiangbei.

Your majesty, even if you have many children as a parent, the palms and backs of your hands are full of flesh, just like your fingers. Which finger can you bite on without pain?
You don't pursue those who robbed food midway, but instead punish those who have meritorious deeds here, I really don't agree with you. "
