Will succeed

After the matter was finished, Li Xi and Ying Que left Chunmanlou one after another.

And after they left, an erratic shadow also drove towards the palace.

From this point of view, the conversation between Li Xi and Ying Que cannot be regarded as a secret.I don't know what Li Xi's expression will be after knowing this.

In the imperial study room, memorials were thrown all over the floor.

The emperor was so angry that he brushed everything on the desk to the ground.A gust of wind blew by, and the words "Fontify the prince and build the prince's mansion outside the palace" could be vaguely seen.

"Come on, call Mu Xi to me!" With a roar, everyone inside and outside the imperial study was terrified.

Mu Xi, who was summoned into the palace, saw the mess all over the ground at first sight.Seeing this scene, Mu Xi probably knew what was going on, so he didn't panic, but saluted calmly.

The emperor waved his hands impatiently, with an unconcealable worry on his face.

"Mu Aiqing, what do you think of the enfeoffment of princes?"

After finishing speaking, the emperor stared closely at Mu Xi, not wanting to miss a trace of his expression.Of course, Mu Xi wouldn't show any expression, he already knew these things in his mind, so naturally he wouldn't feel weird.

Mu Xi didn't answer the emperor's words, but picked up the memorial on the ground.Seeing Mu Xi doing what his subordinates did, the emperor felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

At the beginning, when he was still a prince, it was Mu Xi who accompanied him step by step until now.

After he ascended the throne, Mu Xi didn't want to participate in any battle for succession, but what happened in these years forced him to join it.

In the eyes of the emperor, Mu Xi has always been a good minister who is loyal and defends the country.From him to the present prince, Mu Xi has always supported orthodoxy.

Although he didn't like Li Jue, it was undeniable that Li Jue would indeed be a good monarch.

For so many years, he has always seen what Li Jue has done.In other words, he acquiesced in the fight between Li Jue and Li Xi.

Sure enough, the emperor's eyes were vicious. The emperor knew what kind of person Li Xi was.He also understood why he didn't like the prince, it was just a ridiculous worry in his heart.

In fact, Li Jue is a very filial person, so how could he get along with his biological father for the mere sake of the throne?

All of this is just the emperor's mediocrity.

Mu Xi put the memorial on the desk, even if he didn't look up, he could know the emperor's mood at this time.

"Your Majesty, this humble minister belongs to the prince's party."

A simple sentence expresses Mu Xi's attitude.

As the prince's party, it is natural to plan for the prince.If the other princes were entrusted equally, the prince's threat would be much less.

Moreover, once Li Jue moved out of the palace, many things would no longer be so restricted, and it would be much more convenient for him to do things.Therefore, this matter does not need to be considered at all.

Listening to Mu Xi's words, the emperor sighed slightly.Although I know Mu Xi's thoughts, I still hope that Mu Xi can agree with my thoughts.

However, Mu Xi's words completely let the emperor know that Mu Xi, who was only for him and caring about nothing at the beginning, has gradually changed in these years of polishing.

The emperor at this time really missed the old days.

However, the past time is destined not to go back.

"Mu Xi! I'm getting old!"

As if his body had been hollowed out, the emperor slumped directly on the chair.There are only him and Mu Xi in the imperial study room now, and he doesn't have to force himself in front of Mu Xi.

The word "I" shortened the distance between him and Mu Xi a lot.For a moment, Mu Xi was filled with emotions.

Without the radiance in the court, the current emperor really seemed to be much older.

"Your Majesty, there are some things that are beyond our control. You have worked hard for the Later Tang Dynasty all your life, and now the prince is in his twenties. It is really not decent to live in the palace. I understand what the emperor is worried about, but the prince is also counted. I watched him grow up. I know him well, he is a filial man, so the emperor need not be so worried."

Mu Xi looked at the emperor deeply, looking back on the long years that passed, he was also full of sighs.

After so many years, it was the first time he saw the emperor like this.Like an old man in the twilight, but his hair is not white.

"I know his temperament, and I know that he is a good person. But Mu Xi, after being with me for so many years, you should also know that I... am not reconciled!"

In one sentence, it expresses the bitterness of the emperor these years.

"Your Majesty, this matter is the general trend. In my opinion, the Crown Prince is not impatient, so he will not force you."

"But not all of my princes are like him."

Speaking of this matter, the emperor swept away the haze just now, his eyes were full of light, and his tone could not help but become more serious.

Mu Xi is indifferent, he has long been used to the fickleness of the emperor. "With the prince here, what are you afraid of?"

A light rhetorical question made the emperor stunned.Yes!Li Jue is such a capable, powerful, ambitious, and most importantly filial person, what is he afraid of?

Maybe, he couldn't trust someone wholeheartedly after all!

Even if that person is his own son.

The emperor was silent, and he didn't want to waste his energy on this kind of thing. Since all the civil and military officials suggested so, why would he hesitate?

"That's all, that's all, I've agreed to this matter!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Mu Xi to reply, she turned her head and walked out of the imperial study room.That dark and yellow back reveals a deep sense of exhaustion.

………………

The next day, the emperor issued an imperial decree to let Prince Li Jue go out to live in the palace, and named Li Xi as Prince Shu, Li Qi as King of Qi, and Li Ji as King Ji. Outside the palace, the rest of the people are out of the palace.

In Chang'an City, all the palaces have been repaired long ago, but it is only the emperor's selfishness, so they have been left idle.Now the emperor arranged them all out of the palace, and those mansions became busy one after another, those who bought maids bought maids, and those who bought furniture bought furniture.

For a while, Chang'an City was very lively.

After half a month like this, the repairs of the various palaces were finally completed, and the princes and princes also officially moved out.

At this moment, the court found out that 10 taels of snowflake silver was missing.After the emperor found out, he was furious and ordered people to investigate vigorously, determined to find out the person who embezzled public funds.

Two days passed, and after searching day and night, the man was finally found.

On the Golden Luan Hall, He Ren knelt on the ground tremblingly, sweat dripping down uncontrollably, and soon his hair was wet.

"Your Majesty, after two days of investigation by Weichen, I now know that the 10 taels were taken by He Ren!"

The emperor snorted coldly, his eyes filled with anger.

"Bold He Ren! How dare you embezzle such a large sum of money from the imperial court? You simply don't take Wang's law seriously! Now that the evidence is solid, can you be convicted?"

Knowing that he can't escape this catastrophe, He Ren now only blames himself for why he wants to gamble!If you didn't gamble, you wouldn't be where you are today. "The emperor...the emperor, the minister...the minister is guilty."

Seeing He Ren pleaded guilty, the emperor's face brightened a little.

Jingxi, who came back from Xishan, took a step forward: "Your Majesty, He Ren is just a mere sixth-rank official, if no one encourages him behind his back, how dare he do such a thing?"

He Ren shivered unconsciously, his eyes drifted, and he looked extremely guilty.

The emperor frowned, how could he not know what was wrong, he just didn't want to say it.He also knew who the so-called person behind the scenes was, but he didn't want to get too involved in this matter and cause that person to suffer such an unwarranted disaster.

In the final analysis, that person just came up with an idea, and the main reason was because of He Ren's gambling nature.

Now that Jingxi brought this matter up, the emperor couldn't turn a blind eye. "Then according to Jing Aiqing, who is behind the scenes?"

Hearing the emperor's words, Jing Xi couldn't help showing a mocking expression: "I heard that He Ren is a distant relative of the imperial concubine."

"Master Jing, did you consider the consequences when you said such a thing?" Hearing that Jing Xi mentioned Concubine He Gui, how could Li Xi, as his son, be indifferent.

At the moment, he no longer maintains a silent attitude, instead of being innocent and cute in the past, he becomes tough.

"This king knows that Mr. Jing is the prince's brother's confidant, but it is not appropriate for Mr. Jing to involve this king's mother because of He Ren!"

However, Jingxi was not afraid of such a Prince Shu, he still had the same attitude, and his face still had a half-smile. "The minister is just discussing the matter."

"you……"

"Okay, you two don't want to quarrel anymore, I have my own conclusion about the truth!"

The emperor's eyes swept over He Ren, He Ren couldn't help shivering, feeling extremely frightened.But he didn't dare to reveal Concubine He Gui, once something happened to Concubine He Gui, his family would be finished!

Therefore, even if Concubine He Gui was pointed out, he had to excuse him: "Your Majesty, this matter is my own idea and has nothing to do with Concubine He Guifei! I am just a vulgar person who dare not pour dirty water on Concubine He Your Majesty, please learn from your empress!"

After kowtowing several times hard, He Ren cried and snot flew all over his nose, fearing that everyone would not believe his words, even blood came out from the knock.

However, the people in the court hall are not so soft-hearted. Seeing this kind of scene, they didn't even blink their brows. It's a pity that he kowtowed so hard.

Although He Ren's action was to clear the suspicion of He Guifei, but there was a feeling that there was no silver 300 taels here.

All the officials stared at him meaningfully, only Li Xi's eyes were full of dislike for not doing enough, more than failing, and worrying about Concubine He Gui.

When things got to this point, how could he not know that someone used He Ren to weaken his concubine mother, and of course, it also weakened him at the same time.

He glanced at Li Jue who was standing beside him without saying a word, his eyes were indescribably complicated.

This incident was probably done by Li Jue, but Li Xi didn't have the intention to do anything to him.In the past, he only used Li Jue's subordinates for his calculations, and never really hurt Li Jue.

But now, Li Jue has endangered his mother, he was wondering if he was too soft on the queen, could it be the so-called love of the house and black?

However, now is not the time to think about these things. In this situation, it is more serious to hurry up and get rid of the imperial concubine.
