Teacher is too tough

The old emperor frowned, his tone was finally calm, he raised his volume slightly, and said with a bit of anger: "Nonsense! Do you want a princess to kill a village woman?! Don't say this is a royal matter , even if it is placed in an ordinary family, the concubine's room is just a domestic slave, and the mistress is her right to dispose of the house slaves, not to mention that village woman is not even as good as a concubine's room, her status can barely be counted as a concubine!"

There was anger in his tone, but Li Qingshi did not see the slightest anger in his eyes. He knew that the old man was not really angry, but that he should be angry in this situation, so he was angry.

Li Qingshi fell silent again, he had already given up the idea of ​​arguing with the other party, because he already understood that no matter how much he said, it would be futile.

Seeing him lowering his eyes, the old emperor felt a little satisfied, and was about to go back to the desk when he heard the strange grandson say: "If she killed me, do I have to pay for it?"

The old emperor stopped, turned around, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Whoever kills the blood of the royal family will be punished as treason."

Li Qingshi suddenly stretched out his hand, pointed at Li Hong and said, "A few days ago in Princess Huai'an's residence, he wanted to kill me."

Li Hong maintained a humble posture of bending over and bowing his back, without any panic.

The old emperor looked at the son-in-law and said: "It seems that there is such a thing. The fourth brother killed some people because of it. Li Hong, was he the one you and Yao'er wanted to kill at that time?"

Li Hongdao: "Your Majesty clearly learned that I didn't really intend to kill someone. After verifying the identity of this child, I was worried that he was being manipulated by someone with a heart, so I made a trick to lure out the person hiding behind me. It turned out that I was wrong. The child came to the capital without being instigated by anyone, so it turned out that he really hated the minister to the bone and wanted to avenge his mother."

To this day, facing the shamelessness of the son-in-law, Li Qingshi has been able to calm down. He said in a mocking tone: "A bitter trick? You made it clear that you were going all out. If it weren't for my fate, you would have died by now. "

Li Hong didn't speak, neither refuted nor admitted.

The old emperor first said to Li Hong: "Think more about things, you have done a good job."

Then his eyes turned to Li Qingshi, and his tone was a bit reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense, no matter what happens, you should think about it more carefully, if Li Hong really wants to kill you, you can still stand here say?"

Liu Bai suddenly interjected, "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, Prince Concubine Li did indeed kill him at that time."

Since the Chief Secretary entered the imperial study room, he has been standing quietly by the side.

From Li Hong's words, it was known that His Majesty the Emperor was an insider about You Longshan, which made his body slightly stiff.

After hearing that Li Qingshi was the emperor's grandson left behind among the people, he suddenly ate such a big melon, which made his brows slightly frowned.

Apart from these subtle reactions, he still had a paralyzed expressionless face, and a pair of dead fish eyes were staring at the ground in front of him without moving, not knowing what was going on in his mind.

The old emperor frowned lightly, and said, "Liu Bai, you are messing around too. If Li Hong is really a killer, how can he not die?"

Liu Bai bowed and said, "At that time, His Highness Huangsun was seriously injured and was dying, even the people in the three divisions of Zhenwu Division were helpless. It was all thanks to His Highness Huangsun's excellent medical skills that they were able to save themselves."

The old emperor looked at Li Hong, and his tone was a little more severe: "What's going on?"

Li Hong knelt down on the tunnel again and said, "Your Majesty clearly understands that if a person is fatally injured, even if he survives by chance, how can he recover in just a month or so? How to convict, I have no complaints."

The old emperor frowned, looked at Li Qingshi a few times, then stared at Li Hong for a moment, waved his hand and said, "Get up, no one is allowed to mention this matter again."

Turning around to look at Liu Bai, he said, "Liu Bai, you and Li Hong are the people I trust the most. In the future, you should support each other. If you continue to criticize like today, I will give you fifty blows each."

This was said to Liu Bai, obviously thinking that Liu Bai was deliberately attacking the son-in-law.

Liu Bai bowed and said, "I would like to obey the holy will."

The old emperor turned to Li Qingshi again, and the meaning of the lesson was stronger: "Don't mention the matter of revenge in the future! Since I recognize you as the grandson of the emperor today, you must always remember your identity! Don't learn from those who have no experience. You have to take a long-term view, you have to know, maybe this country will be yours in the future! If hatred blinds your eyes, then I will be too disappointed."

After a pause, he continued: "I think it's because you have been outside for so many years that I feel a little more sympathetic to you, and I would like to mention a few more words. I don't bother to bother with the other emperors and grandchildren!"

Li Qingshi was speechless for a moment, he was already extremely disappointed with his grandfather, but he didn't show anything on his face.

After a moment of silence, he bent down and said, "I... grandson knows, grandson will definitely understand Grandpa Huang's painstaking efforts, and will not waste his teachings from Grandpa Huang."

The old emperor could still see a little bit of dissatisfaction from his eyebrows, but considering that he was born in the common people and lacked knowledge, it was rare to be able to turn the corner in such a short period of time, so he patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction and returned to After writing the desk, he sat down again.

He looked at Director Liu and said, "Liu Bai, don't investigate further about Youlongshan."

Liu Bai hesitated for a moment, and said, "I don't understand, how could Your Majesty sit back and watch his people suffer such disaster?"

The old emperor was silent for a moment, then took a brocade box from the corner of the desk, and when he opened it, there was a white jade medicine bottle inside.

He uncorked the bottle and poured out a blood-red pill from it. For a moment, the bloody smell filled the imperial study room.

The old emperor put the blood-red pill into his mouth, took the tea from the eunuch, put it into his belly, and then said: "You know, my health has always been bad, so if I don't have this pill, I will be here I'm afraid it has already turned into a handful of loess."

After a pause, he continued: "You have always been loyal to me, so I come to ask you, is the life of those people or mine more important?"

Seeing His Majesty taking out the pill, Liu Bai narrowed his dead fish eyes imperceptibly.

He didn't answer His Majesty's words, but thought for a while and said, "What I don't understand is why Your Majesty gave Bai Tonggu, Chen Xiuqing, and Shen Guangwu three people to take this precious life-saving pill."

The old emperor smiled, pointed at him with his finger, and said: "You are a military commander, so you don't understand the complexity of the court situation. Do you think it is easy for me to secure a stable position in this country?"

Seeing that Liu Bai didn't respond, he smiled and said: "The government needs checks and balances. If there is no Chen Xiuqing, the second child will not be able to defeat the fourth child; if there is no Shen Guangwu, the fourth child will not be able to defeat the second child; and if there is no Shen Bai and Chen San People, there is no one in the court who can check and balance Lu Ping and others, think about it, if no one like Lu Ping restrains them, will they still listen to what I have to say? Can my thoughts be conveyed so smoothly?" (end of this chapter)
