Meanwhile, in Taiji Palace.
In the Eastern Palace.
"Brother, good news!"
A young man in a pale golden robe excitedly strode into the Eastern Palace. He held a letter in his hand and read it as he shouted,
"News came from outside that the eunuch Zhang Kong was beaten up when he went to King Qin's residence. He was even thrown into the moat by King Qin's residence. If he hadn't been discovered in time, Zhang Kong would have lost his life. Oh, I was wondering. The news said that Second Brother's Fourth Brother ordered someone to beat him up. His Fourth Brother, Li Tai, is only eight years old, right?”
The thirty-seven-year-old Li Jiancheng was sitting behind a table, his thin figure looking down at official documents. As he listened to the twenty-three-year-old King Qi clicking his tongue, he calmly said,"Does it matter who hit you?"
Li Yuanji grinned and said,
"Brother is right. I will contact some people. Tomorrow morning, we can use this matter to argue with Second Brother's Prince Qin's Mansion.”
Li Jiancheng looked up at him and said,""Go ahead."
"Here!"
Li Yuanji chuckled and turned to leave.
After Li Yuanji left, Li Jiancheng closed the document and muttered to himself,""Perhaps this person can also be of use…"
Li Jiancheng stood up and strode into the depths of the palace.
As they walked to the palace where Consort Yin De was, the angry voices inside could be heard from afar.
"Qin Wang, how dare he do this!"
"Zhang Kong is bengong's man, how could the king of Qin dare to break his legs?”
"Li Tai did it? He was only eight years old! The king of Qin really did a good job. He actually pushed the blame on a child. Do you think this prince can believe it!”
Hearing Yin Defei's gritting teeth, Li Jiancheng chuckled and strode in.
When the palace maids saw him, they quickly bowed and said,"Greetings, Your Highness."
Li Jiancheng waved his hand to dismiss them. After taking a few steps into the hall, he saw Consort Yin De, who was wearing a green dress, sitting by the bed. Her face was unsightly with anger, and she asked in surprise,"
"Jiancheng greets Consort De niangniang, who made niangniang angry?”
"Humph!"
Consort Yin De's face was filled with anger. She glanced at him but did not stand up to return the greeting. She said angrily,"
"Who else could it be? Naturally, it's His Highness the Crown Prince's second brother. The King of Qin is too ungrateful. My father injured Du Ruhui's hand, and I sent Zhang Kong to apologize. Guess what? Not only were his legs broken, he was also thrown into the moat. If he hadn't been rescued by the Golden Guards in time, he would have lost his life!”
Li Jiancheng pondered for a few seconds and said,"
"I see. This matter is easy to deal with. Consort De's father injured Du Ruhui's hand, and the King of Qin injured Zhang Kong. Consort De, why don't you take this opportunity to bury the hatchet with the King of Qin?”
"Bah!"
Consort Yin De flew into a rage and said,"How can bengong swallow this anger after injuring bengong's people!"”
Li Jiancheng had already guessed that Yin Defei would act this way. He stopped smiling and said with a serious expression,""Then Jiancheng will accompany Consort De and demand justice from Prince Qin's mansion!”
Consort Yin De was delighted. It was best to have the Crown Prince's help. She quickly asked,""Your Highness, do you have any ideas?”
"Consort De, Your Highness, you can go to court with me tomorrow!" Li Jiancheng said solemnly.”
"Morning court?" Yin Defei frowned. Your Highness, don't forget that His Majesty once said that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics!”
"What is political interference? This is to interfere in government affairs! How could Consort De complain to the Emperor in court be considered interfering in politics?”
Li Jiancheng said solemnly,"
"Moreover, Jiancheng is certain that the King of Qin will apologize to Father in court tomorrow morning. If Father softens his heart and forgives him, thinking that how can a servant compare to a member of the royal family, wouldn't the legs of Consort De's servant be broken for nothing?”
Consort Yin De's expression turned ugly." You're right!”
Li Jiancheng smiled and said," If Consort De goes to the morning court together, the result will be different. When the time comes, we will report the King of Qin in front of all the civil and military officials. Even if Father is riding a tiger, it will be difficult for him to get off. Jiancheng will also help from the side and make Father punish him severely!”
"Then tomorrow, I will go with Your Highness.”
Consort Yin De thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. She stood up and bowed seriously,""Your Highness, please seek justice for this concubine.”
"Jiancheng will not disappoint Consort De," Li Jiancheng returned the greeting with a smile.”
……
After negotiating with Consort Yin De, he returned to the Eastern Palace.
Li Jiancheng saw King Qi Li Yuanji leisurely drinking wine in the hall. He walked over and sat down. He picked up the wine cup Li Yuanji had poured for him and sipped it as he asked,"How did it go?"
Li Yuanji chuckled and said,
"It's all done. The Imperial Censors and some officials of the six ministries, as well as any officials that can be used by the Eastern Palace, I've already informed them. They only need to report to the King of Qin tomorrow morning.”
Li Jiancheng raised his wine cup and looked up into the sky outside the hall with a faint smile.
Second brother.
You shouldn't have hit Zhang Kong and given BenGong a chance to impeach you!
This time, if King Qin's Mansion did not have a few officials with real power, this matter would not be over!
When you lose your left and right arms, what will you use to fight with bengong?
……
For a time, a storm was brewing in the imperial court.
In the Imperial Palace's Yin Yang Hall, Li Yuan and Pei Ji were discussing the details of Li Tai's succession to the throne the next day. After hearing the news, they only said that they understood and ignored it.
Li Yuan cursed in his heart.
From tomorrow onwards, Li Tai would be sitting on the throne. If there was anything to say, just say it to Li Tai!
……
The next morning.
The sky was starting to brighten, and a grumbling, childish voice rang out from Prince Qin's mansion.""Are you kidding me? It's already five o'clock, and you're going to the morning court?”
At this moment, Li Er was dressed neatly. He was wearing a robe and a black veil as he stood outside the door. He smiled at the unhappy Li Tai and was helped by the servants to wash up. He said,
"The morning court has always been like this. If you don't like it, you can change it when you sit on the throne!”
Li Tai's eyes lit up.”
Makes sense? Li Er smiled. I was just saying that, but you really think you can sit on the throne? You're the third generation of the royal family, and I haven't even fought with the Eastern Palace for the second generation. How can the throne fall to you?
Seeing that Li Tai was determined to change the morning court session, Li Er couldn't help but tease,""Green Sparrow, if you really sit on the throne, how about I lead your horse and kick it off for you?”
