Live up to the breeze and the bright moon

The next day, in the palace.

"My ministers will meet the emperor." King Anyang came to the emperor's bedroom to pay his respects after he retired from the early court.

"Get up. What happened to Liu Sheng's family?"

"I have checked, and all the male members of the Liu family have been punished, and all the female relatives have been sent to the prison."

"Oh? All have been punished? Didn't anyone slip through the net? Or an impostor?" The emperor didn't believe King Anyang's report.

"Yes, all have been subdued, and no fish slipped through the net." King Anyang said firmly.

The emperor thought for a while, then smiled and said to King Anyang: "Cheng'er, there were two brothers in ancient times, one named Qi and the other named Yan. Once Yan did something wrong, and Qi concealed it to protect his younger brother Yan. To avoid the punishment of the mother, this matter is regarded as an example of brotherly filial piety by later generations. What do you think?"

After hearing the story, the King of Anyang plopped down on his knees, "Father, my ministers acted impartially, never favored anyone, and never concealed anything from my father."

"Hey, why are you nervous when I discuss the ancient affairs with you. I didn't say you did something wrong. Get up quickly." The emperor smiled and comforted King Anyang, "I just asked you what you think?"

"My son felt that it was unfilial for Qi to cover up his younger brother's faults and conceal his mother's faults, but Qi did it out of brotherhood, which was a rare act of friendship, and it was the harmony between brothers that his mother wanted to see most, which was great filial piety. "

The emperor seemed to have thought of something, and said with a slightly emotional tone, "Well said, brotherly harmony is great filial piety." He showed a gratified look to King Anyang, "Okay, step back."

King Anyang withdrew respectfully, covered in cold sweat.

After Li Yu retired from court, he was washing the purple black horse in the stables in the backyard, and Wu Feng came to report, "Your Highness, King Anyang is here."

"Second brother? Is something wrong?" Li Yu put down the brush in his hand, and simply cleaned up his clothes.

"Why, this king can't come if he has nothing to do?" Before Wufeng could answer, King Anyang had already appeared in front of him.

"Hey, second brother. It's because second brother comes every time for something, and he never went to the house to chat." Li Yu smiled foolishly at King Anyang.

"You, you don't look like a prince at all, and you wash the horse yourself? Wufeng, should you be punished?" King Anyang pretended to reprimand.Wufeng knew that King Anyang would scare them and these little ones every time, and he was no longer afraid after so many times, so he also imitated Li Yu and smiled silly at King Anyang.

"Okay, second brother, don't scare them, they don't like you anymore. Let's go, let's go to a clean place, it's filthy here, don't dirty second brother's clothes." Then he pulled King Anyang out .

Walking out of the stables is the area where the servants of the palace live. Everyone stopped what they were doing when they saw the master and let them out.Just as he was about to go out, he heard beating and scolding and children crying from the room on the east side.Li Yu let go of King Anyang's hand, and immediately walked towards that room.

Pushing open the door suddenly, Mammy heard the sound and saw the master coming in, and immediately stood up to say hello.Liu Xi was helping Liu Ze up, patted Liu Ze's pants, wiped away his tears, and straightened his clothes.Liu Xi didn't go to see Li Yu.

"What's going on?" Li Yu's eyes were cold, staring at Mammy.

"Back to Your Highness, this servant is teaching these two ignorant boys and disturbing His Highness, this servant really deserves to die." Mammy replied with a charming smile.

Li Yu looked at Liu Xi and Liu Ze, the clothes were still the same as yesterday, his face was tired but full of vigilance, Liu Ze's face was crying too many times, it looked like a kitten, and there was obviously a big red spot on his face Yin Zi, who had obviously been beaten, looked very displeased, "Why were they taught a lesson?"

"These two boys refused to wash and change their clothes, and they refused to eat and rest, so the slaves had to educate them. Don't worry, Your Highness, they will be obedient soon." Mammy still spoke very sternly.

Hearing that they refused to wash, eat and rest, Li Yu closed his eyes and sighed, "Then how did you teach them a lesson?"

"The servants are mainly just persuading them patiently." Mammy didn't dare to say that she made a move.

"Oh? Persuade them patiently? Why don't you fight them when they are so disobedient?" Li Yu asked deliberately.

Hearing these words, Liu Xi stared at Li Yu, as if he knew that you would not be reassured.

"Ah? Your Highness is right, slaves are actually beaten. If you don't obey, you will beat them to death. If you beat them until you obey... Oh, your highness, calm down, slaves, slaves deserve to die!"

Li Yu didn't wait for Mammy to finish speaking, and kicked her to the ground.I saw the terrified nanny just now kowtowed and shouted for the lord to spare her life.Liu Xi was extremely surprised by Li Yu's kick.

"Ninth Brother? What's the matter? You're so angry?" Outside the house, King Anyang thought that Li Yu was teaching the people in his mansion, and it was not easy to interfere, but when he heard that there was a lot of movement in the house, he leaned in to ask.

"It's okay." Li Yu heard King Anyang's voice, calmed down, turned around and pulled King Anyang out of the house, "The servant is ignorant and disturbed the second brother. Let's go to the front." Li Yu turned back while talking After glancing at Liu Xi in the room, he dragged King Anyang to the front hall.

The two sat down in the living room, and the servant served tea. King Anyang, who was sitting in the master's seat, put down the teacup and went straight to the point, "Ninth brother, second brother asked you, did you kidnap Liu Sheng's family?"

Li Yu, who was sitting in the guest seat, also put down his teacup when he heard this question, but looked straight at the opposite pillar instead of King Anyang, "Yes." It was short and clear, without any emotion.

"Why are you so confused? It's fine if you touch the female relatives, but you want to touch Liu Sheng's son, and even touch two of them at once. They are queens of rebels. Once you hide the son of a rebel, if the emperor finds out, he will be very fond of you." Great dissatisfaction, secondly, if you don’t cut the grass and roots, you are not afraid of getting into trouble in the future?” King Anyang looked at his ninth brother anxiously, hoping that he would not be confused about this matter.

"Second brother, I know what you said." Li Yu still stared at the opposite pillar.

"Then why do you still do it?"

"Second brother, do you still remember that when I was 11 years old, I lived in the side hall of the Ande Hall of your bedroom. I sneaked to the Leng Palace at night and brought back a woman. It turned out that the woman was the talented person selected by the emperor the year before. , has never had the opportunity to meet Shengyan.

Later, someone told the secret father, and my father sent someone to arrest me that night. I didn't do anything with that woman. Besides, I didn't know her identity. I thought she was just an ordinary court lady, so I refused to admit my mistake , even if my father beat me with a horsewhip, I still refused to bow my head, my angry father wanted to order me to be executed.

When you found out about this, you ran to protect me in your arms, blocked my father's whip for me, and told my father that the woman was actually dating you, and you asked me to bring that woman to the Ande Hall, This matter has nothing to do with me.You desperately asked me to kowtow to admit my mistake, and I pulled your sleeve, telling you that I am not afraid of death, and asked my second brother not to take the blame for me.

It wasn't until the emperor's grandmother was alarmed that she rescued us in person.Afterwards, you were banned for three months, and I was banned for half a year. "After speaking, Li Yu looked at King Anyang, his eyes were touched by memories.

King Anyang nodded, "Of course I remember. But what does this have to do with the two sons of the Liu family?"

"At that time, when the son of the Liu family was executed, this scene also happened among Liu Sheng's sons." Li Yu pursed his lips and looked at his second brother, thinking that the second brother should understand what he meant.

King Anyang sighed, "The two in the room just now are the sons of Liu Sheng, right?"

Li Yu nodded.

"I hope they can understand what you have done for them." King Anyang took a sip of tea and said earnestly, "This time Liu Sheng and Hengyang King Li Xie conspired against each other because my father wanted to make me the prince. , Now that something like this happened, the emperor put aside the matter of Li Chu.

But don't forget that the twelfth younger brother, Huaiyang King Li Xie, is the most beloved son of the emperor. Hengyang King was not killed, but was deposed and imprisoned in Siguo Garden. It was also for Li Xie's sake.The two of them are siblings, and Liu Sheng is their uncle, Li Xie will not give up, he must be careful in everything.

Don't let him know that you left Liu Sheng's son privately. He won't thank you for keeping Liu Sheng. After he knows you are mine, he will only use this to bite you to death. piece of meat. "

"Understood, thank you, brother, for your suggestion." Li Yu looked at King Anyang with a slight smile.

"You, you are too affectionate!" King Anyang got up and walked to Li Yu's side, patted Li Yu's shoulder, left after leaving this sentence.

Li Yu smiled and shouted at the back of the courtyard, "Second brother, go slowly!"
