Datang: I was tricked by the system

"The emperor is ill today, and it is inconvenient to go to court early. All you adults need to do is hand over the papers according to the priority of the matter. If there is nothing else, then go away."

Li Er hasn't woken up yet, and Empress Changsun has no choice but to come forward for the early affairs.

Except for the few ministers who knew about it, all civil and military officials were shocked by the news.

"The emperor has always been in good health, why did he suddenly fall ill?"

"Yeah, it was fine yesterday, didn't it mean that you met an assassin?"

"Since the emperor came to the throne, he has never neglected government affairs. Even if he is sick, he still insists on going to court. I am afraid that today's matter will not be easy."

"..."

Baiguan was still shocked by the fact that Li Er was unwell and unable to go to court.

But they can only talk in low voices.

"Hey, did you hear about what happened in the Hongwen Museum yesterday?"

"You are talking about the matter of His Highness the Crown Prince. I heard that the emperor is probably ill because of it."

"It's really not guaranteed."

"Talk about yesterday, it was really wonderful, one good show after another..."

"If you want me to say that the most wonderful poems are those poems written by that one, you don't know, those poems are now read by the people in Chang'an City, they are really catchy, and they are still fresh in people's memory."

"I really can't see that he grew up in the countryside, and he can have such knowledge. The crown prince has lost to him. I'm afraid he won't be able to keep his position."

"Who knows what His Majesty is thinking."

"Besides, that person is knowledgeable, but he is too arrogant, and he doesn't even pay attention to the face of the royal family. Isn't this slapping His Majesty in the face? I think His Majesty's reason for not coming today is to avoid this matter."

"..."

"Enough, do you think this is a vegetable market? If there is something to do, start playing, and if there is nothing to do, then retreat." Empress Changsun is not deaf, even if their voices are low, she can still hear them.

As a mother, she doesn't want to see her son become a topic of conversation after dinner.

The ministers kept their mouths shut.

The emperor didn't come to the court today, and those who were planning to impeach Li Yi or Li Chengqian all shut their mouths, but the papers were handed over.

Hou Junji stood in the corner with his eyes lowered, making it difficult to see his emotions. After he sent someone to investigate last night, he found out that Li Yi not only injured his son, but also beat his grandson Wuji , insulted Li Chengqian and Li Tai.

And his spies in the palace also brought back a piece of news that was enough to make him excited.

Li Er was also beaten up by that boy Li Yi, which is a bit interesting.

A strange smile appeared on his face deformed by Li Yi's beating.

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of Li Er's court today to drive a wedge between their father and son, but now he doesn't need it.

He just needs to let this matter ferment and ferment well, so that the whole city will know about it.

As for the humiliation he suffered yesterday, he will repay it twice as much from that kid...

Because there was no Li Er present to take charge, the morning court quickly dispersed. Before leaving, Empress Changsun kept Cai Guogong Du Ruhui behind.

Fang Xuanling glanced at Du Ruhui, and there was some worry in his eyes. The whole city knew what happened yesterday, and he couldn't pretend he didn't know.

But the timing was wrong, and Fang Xuanling couldn't ask, so he had to give up.

……

"Du Ruhui, I asked you to bring Li Yi back, so why don't you tell me what you have done?"

Lizheng Hall.

Empress Changsun questioned Du Ruhui angrily.

If she hadn't arranged for someone to monitor Du Ruhui, she would not have known that Du Ruhui would dare to report to Li Yi behind his back.

Du Ruhui's expression did not change. When he was doing this thing yesterday, he had already predicted today's result. He knelt on the ground and said guiltily: "This matter is all Du Ruhui's fault. The empress wants to be killed or cut. Du Ruhui No complaints, I just hope that the empress can see that Du Ruhui has also served His Majesty loyally, and let the offender's family be spared."

Empress Changsun sighed, "Master Du, do you know that your actions have chilled His Majesty's heart."

"Please punish me." Du Ruhui didn't know, but he couldn't forgive his conscience, so he kowtowed twice on the ground.

"Forget it, your Majesty will wait until His Majesty wakes up to make a decision, but if you report to Li Yi privately, I can't forgive you. You should go to the prison to reflect."

After all, she is an old man next to the emperor, and Empress Changsun knows that she can't go too far.

Besides, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, so she did not punish Du Ruhui.

Locking him up was just to prevent him from having another chance to report.

"The guilty minister obeys the order."

……

At the same time, a piece of shocking news spread like wildfire in Chang'an City.

Those who heard it were shocked, and those who heard it were shocked.

"What did you say? Our emperor's son beat him?"

"The eldest prince living outside didn't recognize the emperor? He even beat the emperor?"

"Yaoshou, I must have heard wrong."

"Our Majesty is such a good person. Not long ago, he gave our common people a year's tax relief. What kind of black-hearted son did he give birth to?"

"Rebellious and unfilial, the sky is thundering..."

"No, we are going to prevent the emperor from recognizing such a rebellious and unfilial prince. If such a person returns to the palace, it will not be a blessing for Datang, but a disaster."

"Go, let's go together."

"Resolutely let the emperor give this son to death..."

……

This news was spread to ten, ten to hundreds, as if it had grown wings, and it spread out of Chang'an City very quickly.

The spies lurking in the city of Chang'an also released their pigeons one after another, or spread the news of Li Er's serious injury through their own methods.

For a time, people panic.

Li Yi didn't know what was going on outside at this time, and was sitting in the yard having breakfast with the Shan brothers and sisters.

"Li Yi, it's not good, Li Yi!"

Yuan Wei ran in in a panic, he only saw Li Yi in his eyes, and he didn't notice the other people beside Li Yi at all.

"What happened to Brother Yuan Wei?"

"Li Yi, hurry up, I don't know if it means that you are the son of the emperor living among the people, and that you beat the emperor. The people originally wanted to go to the emperor and ask him to kill you, but they never saw the emperor. , was stopped as soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace.

Later, I don't know who proposed to arrest you and burn you to death. "

"And I don't know who revealed where you live. At this time, many people came to our village, saying that they will arrest you and burn you to death."

God knows how shocked and scared Yuan Wei was when he heard the news.

He didn't even intend to sell today's barbecue, so he ran back to inform Li Yi in a panic.

"Run quickly, it will be too late."
