Chapter 52 Confrontation between Monarch and Subject

In the end, it was Wei Yu who caught Li Xi.

When Zheng Ni rushed forward, he was stopped by Zheng Jiarou who also rushed forward.

Zheng Jiarou tightly clutched his sleeve, and with a trembling voice, said to the Jinwu Guard who rushed over after hearing the sound: "Hurry up, tell the sage, please call the imperial doctor!"

"Elder Sister..." Zheng Wei supported her trembling body, he really didn't know whether he loved Li Xi more or her more.

Over there, Li Xi fell from the tree and did not fall to the ground, but was embraced by Wei Yu.

After the momentary shock, Li Xi quickly raised a smiling face, enlivening the atmosphere, "Thank you brother Shuyun, the beauty saved the hero."

"Shut up." Wei Yu put him down with a cold face, checked him quickly and carefully, and heaved a sigh of relief until he confirmed that even the skin was not broken.

Li Hongben is in the gazebo and will arrive soon.

With an order, Fei Longwei involuntarily lifted Li Xi up, escorted him into the main hall of the East Palace, and threw him onto the dragon bed that belonged exclusively to the prince of the East Palace.

A group of imperial doctors suppressed the astonishment in their hearts, and took out the skills of pressing the bottom of the box to see a doctor.The diagnosis was that nothing happened.

Facing Li Hong's cannibalistic gaze, the old fritters didn't dare to tell the truth, but rambled about a lot of things that a saint would never understand, and finally prescribed a prescription to soothe the nerves.

"Uncle, I'm fine, I don't need to drink bitter medicine." Li Xi raised his arms and kicked his legs, trying to jump off the bed.

Li Hong gritted his teeth and said, "Dare to come down and tie you to the bedpost."

Li Xi hesitated immediately.

Li Hong glared at him fiercely, left a few flying dragon guards to watch him, and went to comfort the child himself.

Li Xi wanted to run, but Fei Longwei stopped him by the bed.

Li Xi crawled towards the window, Fei Longwei simply nailed the window to death.

Li Xi threatened with a low voice, Fei Longwei lowered his brows and lowered his eyes, pretending not to hear.

They are all old acquaintances, and the brothers know Xiao Fu Wang's peeing nature too well.

Li Xi was so angry that when the quilt was covered, she couldn't see clearly.

The quilt was apricot yellow, embroidered with a four-clawed golden python, which was exclusively for the prince.Several Flying Dragon Guards secretly exchanged a look, secretly startled.

Li Xi was originally pretending to be asleep, and then waited for an opportunity to escape, but he fell asleep while pretending, until Li Mujin and Chai Lanlan came over and shook him awake.

"How is Shuyun?" Li Xi asked in a daze before he fully recovered.

Li Mujin poked him, "You miss him so much, it's not in vain that he was locked up in a dark room for you."

Li Xi suddenly regained his spirits, "Why did the sage close his little black room? He obviously saved me!"

"Not only him, but all the masters have been imprisoned. You have such a big incident, and the saint is furious. It can't be solved just by being imprisoned."

Chai Lanlan gave him an annoyed look, "A Jin and I came here to ask you to go to the saint to intercede for the masters."

"It's useless for me to beg. The saint is most angry with me now." Li Xi thought for a while and said, "In this way, you take my badge and go to Changle Palace to find grandma. The only one who can stop the saint now is grandma."

The two nodded, took the badge and were about to leave.

"Wait." Li Xi glanced at Fei Longwei next to him, and asked in a low voice, "How did you get in?"

Li Mujin said: "They just watched and didn't let you go out, but they didn't say they wouldn't let others in."

Li Xi showed a smirk, and after they left, he said cheekily: "Go and call Wei Shaoqing, if he doesn't come, I won't take the medicine, and I will keep tossing, hitting the bedpost with my head, kicking the window with my foot, Until the saint is summoned to punish you."

Fire Chief Feilong Wei twitched the corners of his mouth, "My lord, are you three years old?"

"If you don't want to call Wei Shaoqing, I can be one and a half years old."

The flying dragon guards have no doubt that he can really do this.I have no choice but to call Wei Yu.

The masters were detained in the side hall, and the guards were also Feilongwei. The brothers vomited bitterness to each other and led them out.

Coincidentally, the medicine was ready, and Li Xi was rolling all over the bed, refusing to take it.

Seeing that Wei Yu was safe and sound, he stopped his one-and-a-half-year-old behavior and said with a smile, "Brother Shuyun, feed me."

Wei Yu didn't take the bowl, but taught him a cold face: "Are you still climbing trees?"

"No, no, no climbing for the whole summer."

"Just summer?"

Xiao Fu Wang was foolish, "I need to pick dates in autumn, and put persimmons in winter, so I have to climb up anyway..."

Wei Shaoqing's face became colder and colder.

"Cheng Chengcheng, don't climb in autumn and winter, okay?" Li Xi spread his hands, "Little capricious princess, I really have nothing to do with you."

The corner of Wei Yu's mouth twitched.

"Stop being petty, feed me the medicine!" Li Xi frivolously stuffed the bowl into his hand, and sprinkled two drops on Wei Yu's sleeve halfway.

Resisting the urge to wipe it with a handkerchief, Wei Shaoqing took a spoonful, cooled it slightly, and fed it to Li Xi's mouth.

Li Xi stepped back, "That's not what it says in the storybook."

Wei Yu raised his eyebrows, "How did you write that?"

Li Xi stretched out a white and tender finger, pointed to the medicine bowl, pointed to his mouth, and pointed to his own.

When it was over, Xixi asked: "Brother Shuyun understands now."

"Understood." Wei Yu smiled calmly.

King Xiaofu rolled his eyes, "Brother Shuyun, let's feed him like this."

"Okay." Wei Shaoqing answered simply.

Li Xi's eyes lit up, is there really such a good thing?

I just wanted to make fun of it!

Wei Yu pursed his lips, put the bowl to his mouth, blew, then held the bowl in one hand, pinched Xiao Fuwang's chin with the other, and poured it.

I was reversed!

King Xiaofu became angry from embarrassment, rose up in anger, and gave Wei Yu an elbow.

Wei Yu's right arm trembled, and his brow furrowed tightly, but it was only for a moment, and soon he returned to normal.

Li Xi still noticed the abnormality.

Only then did he notice that Wei Yu had been holding the bowl with his left hand since he entered the door.

He suddenly thought of something, threw himself in front of Wei Yu, and rolled up his sleeves involuntarily.Wei Yu didn't care to stop him, and quickly put the medicine bowl on the table so as not to burn him.

Then, the abnormality on the right arm was discovered.

Xiao Fu Wang stared at it for a while, and he no longer had the soft and grinning appearance, and said in a calm voice: "Go and call the imperial doctor, and call the imperial doctor here!"

Fei Longwei went without hesitation.

The gray-haired imperial doctor was framed by two flying dragon guards, thanks to the old man's good temper, he fainted out of breath.

The old man chattered while setting his bones: "How can a young man be so rigid, he can still keep silent when his arm is broken. It will take a long time. The bone is crooked and festered, and this hand can't be kept."

Xiao Fu Wang folded his arms and kept a cold face, and the imperial doctor gave Wei Shaoqing a look when he said a word, which was very fierce.

Wei Yu smiled dotingly, and pulled him with his good hand.However, it was opened with a snap by Xiao Fu Wang.

"You still have the face to kill me, I'm fine if I fall from a tree

No, you don’t even know how to cure your own hand! "

Wei Shaoqing coaxed in a gentle voice without refuting.

The imperial doctor was smiling and said: "My lord, don't blame Wei Shaoqing, his arm was broken when he picked you up. If Wei Shaoqing doesn't pick you up, the lord will be the one who broke it."

Li Xi: "..."

If it wasn't for the sake of the old man's need for respect due to his age, Xiao Fu Wang would kick him out from embarrassment.

All in all, it was both distressing and touching.

Little Jin Chongchong didn't play tricks anymore, and didn't ask Wei Shaoqing to feed him the medicine. He drank it obediently by himself, and then got tired of muttering to him for a long time, and even stipulated when to eat and what to eat.

Like a little butler.

Until Fei Longwei came to ask for someone—the queen mother's edict came down, and the sage wanted to tell his masters something, and Wei Yu had to go too.

After confirming again and again that the saint's mood was stable and he would not chop off people's heads in a fit of anger, Li Xi was willing to let him go.

Feilongwei also withdrew.

Li Xi was in no mood to run away, he needed to be quiet.

The eye circles gradually turned red.

It is distressing.

He could scream for a long time when he broke a layer of skin, and Wei Yu could bear his silence even though his arm was broken. Not only was he locked up in a small dark room, but he was also fed medicine with a bowl.

In front of Wei Yu, Li Xi made jokes and acted like a spoiled child. As soon as he left, he lost his temper and almost cried.

Li Mujin and Chai Lanlan came in, and what they saw was Xiao Fu Wang with tears in his eyes.

Li Mujin teased: "Hurry up and get married, anyway, you like him and he likes you, so you don't have to be sneaky and uncomfortable."

Li Xi quickly winked at her, the outsider is still there!

Chai Lanlan rolled her eyes, "Everyone in the academy knows about it, so what else is there to hide?"

Li Xi shook his head, and said solemnly: "Booing is different from really knowing. I don't believe that the whole academy can accept that men like men."

He didn't care, mainly because of Wei Yu's reputation.

Chai Lanlan snorted, with a proud face, "Whether they accept it or not, if you live for the eyes of others every day, it's better not to live."

Li Xi raised her eyebrows, "I can't tell, Cousin Chai still has such a heart."

"I've had it since I was a child, you're just blind." Chai Lanlan took the opportunity to sarcastically.

Li Xi has always been tolerant towards friends from the same camp, and her heart is not so strong, that is, to the extent of looking over the past and poking her sore feet, "If I really get married with Brother Shuyun, you Don't cry."

Chai Lanlan cut it, pretending to be disdainful: "It's nothing to do with old sesame seeds and rotten millet, so Minger sister will change to someone better than him."

Li Xi raised the corner of his mouth, "You have to change if you don't want to. I will never let him go in my life."

He thought it over, and when this matter is over, he will propose marriage to Wei Yu. It is not the kind of gaudy and nonsense last time, it is formal and solemn, and let him see his own heart, not the identity of King Fu, let alone the political situation. trickery.

He wanted to tell Wei Yu plainly that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with him.

It doesn't matter if you scare someone away, just chase them back.

***

When Li Xi fell from the tree, even though the Zheng siblings hid it well, Wei Yu still noticed something strange.

The seeds of doubt gradually took root and grew stronger.

He needs to confirm Li Xi's life experience, which is related to his next choice.

He mobilized layer by layer the relationship network buried in the market all these years, and quietly investigated.

The focus of the investigation is on Zheng and Cui.

He wanted to know what happened that year, why Zheng Jiarou married Cui Yuan in a hurry, and it happened to be the year when the sage left Beijing.

Also, what is the relationship between Li Xi and the Zheng siblings...

There are some things that officials can't find out, but things that are popular among the three teachings and nine popular things are convenient. Those who dig out excrement, those who sell water, and those who wash starch will always know some fragmentary information, which together is the truth.

Li Hong is also investigating.

Before finding out what happened back then, he noticed Wei Yu's little tricks in private.

On this day, he called Wei Yu to the Tai Chi Hall, turned away from the left and right sides, and asked in a deep voice: "Wei Qing must know why I called you here today."

"I know." Wei Yu said bluntly.

When he decided to investigate, he thought of this day.It can even be said that this is also part of his plan.

In fact, until the moment before entering the palace, he did not confirm Li Xi's life experience, but he will know soon.

Li Hong folded his hands behind his back, looked at the sun falling to the west outside the window, and said slowly: "Wei Qing, you are a rare talent. I originally wanted to put you next to King Fu and train you well. Can't."

Wei Yu bowed and said calmly, "I will not disappoint the saint."

"You have let me down."

"In this matter, the minister and the saint have the same goal."

Li Hong turned around and smiled, "Oh? Tell me, what is Zhen's goal, and what is Wei Qing's goal?"

Wei Yu lowered his head, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "The sage wants to make the youngest son his heir, and so does the minister."

Li Hong's complexion changed, "Wei Yu, you are so brave!"

Wei Yu lifted his official robe, knees on the ground, but his waist was still straight, "Saint, since King Fu entered the academy, you have not paid attention to him for a day. You can see his heart, his intelligence, and his progress. In my eyes, I think I have already made a decision."

Li Hong gritted his teeth and said, "Wei Yu, if you dare to speculate on my thoughts, I think you are going to die!"

"I don't dare to spy on Shangyi, I just want to express my feelings. If the sage thinks that what I said is right, it can only mean that you and I think the same."

Wei Yu raised his face and said solemnly: "I am willing to follow King Fu, teach him, and assist him in this life. No matter what the saint's final decision is, I am willing to be by his side, sharing honor and disgrace!"

Li Hong laughed angrily, "Where do you have the face? Why do you think that I will definitely keep you? Could it be that without you, I would have no one to use? There are many talents in Daye, who are more talented than you, who are more talented than you. High qualifications abound."

——This is equivalent to admitting Li Xi's true identity in disguise.

Wei Yu was secretly startled, but felt as if a boulder had fallen to the ground.

Sure enough.

Despite the turmoil in his heart, his face was still calm, and his tone did not dare to hesitate.

"The sage is right. There are many talents in the great industry, and the minister is only inferior. However, in terms of treating King Fu, the minister surpasses any great Confucianism in the world."

Wei Yu met the gaze of the king of the previous country, and said firmly: "The honest and upright Taifu and Shaofu will probably only see the mischievous and ignorant ignorance of King Fu; but the ministers can see the intelligence, transparency, and wisdom under his appearance." Benevolence, flexibility—no one is more suitable to teach King Fu than a minister."

Hearing this, Li Hong was silent for a long time.

He had to admit that he was moved by Wei Yu.

Ever since Li Xi entered the academy, no, it should be said earlier, after the eldest prince was demoted to Anxi, he had plans to train Li Xi.

These days, he saw Li Xi's progress and was really happy.It is undeniable that these changes are probably related to Wei Yu

.

However, it still doesn't work.

He couldn't put a person he couldn't control next to Xiaobao.

Li Hong breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Wei Yu, I won't kill you because I don't want to hurt Xiaobao. That child has always been affectionate... Go home, pack up and salute, and go to Qianzhou to take up your post."

Wei Yu was startled, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

He thought of the worst outcome, nothing more than dismissal, so that he could stay by Li Xi's side as an aide.However, he never expected that the sage would "leave the net" on him.

No, that's not what he wanted.

Wei Yu collected himself, and said in a deep voice, "Saint, have you ever thought about how King Fu will react once he finds out about his life experience?"

Zheng Wei and Zheng Jiarou returned to Chang'an one after another. Sooner or later, there will be a day when they cannot hide what happened back then. At that time, it will not only be him, but also the Chai family, Xiao family, and even the Dou family.

Once Li Xi's life experience is revealed to the world...

"The sage can protect King Fu comprehensively, but he can't take care of his heart. Will he be sad, will he blame you, will he be unable to accept such a life experience?"

"Wei Yu, you are too strict." Li Hong flicked his sleeves, unable to hide his gaffe.

Every word of Wei Yu's words pierced his heart, and these were what he was most worried about, otherwise he wouldn't have kept it a secret until now.

And what Wei Yu gambled was his love for Li Xi, not only as a candidate for the crown prince, but because he really cared about him and didn't want to hurt his heart.

The sage is weak because he cares.

Wei Yu was just the opposite, because he cared, he became braver.

Facing the anger of the king of a country, he did not mess up at all, "I can accompany King Fu, persuade King Fu, let him understand the painstaking efforts of the saint, let him face up to his own life experience, let him have ambition and energy, and fight for that position."

"you--"

"you really--"

"I didn't know that the young minister of Dali Temple, whom I have always respected, would have such courage."

Li Hong nodded at him from the air, his face full of sarcasm, "Where did you come from, that you think King Fu will listen to you?"

"Didn't the sage already know that Fu Wang is the one who likes the minister." Wei Yu's mouth showed a trace of tenderness.

"You're courting death!" Li Hong kicked him on the shoulder.

Wei Yu just swayed and didn't fall down.

In a fit of rage, Li Hong pulled out the sword behind the throne and charged towards Wei Yu, "I will kill you, a scourge, now, and let that brat wake up!"

"No saint, no!" Jiang De'an rushed out from the apse and hugged Li Hong's thigh.

Wei Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang De'an was his last move.

Three years ago, Jiang De'an owed him a huge favor. If he was demoted, Jiang De'an might turn a blind eye. If the saint wants to kill him, he can't just sit idly by.

"Has the sage forgotten that our young prince has always been in love? When he was three years old, he lost a small wooden horse, and he couldn't forget it for several years, let alone a living person? If you really kill Wei Shaoqing..."

"Then let him never forget it!"

"I'm afraid it's not just that I can't forget it, maybe I'm angry, and I ran to Anxi with the bed rolled up. If something goes wrong on the way, it's you who feel sorry for me!"

Li Hong paused.

That kid, maybe!

Wei Yu looked at the right time, and said word by word: "If the minister dies, the sage will never find another person who will support King Fu as unselfishly and unwaveringly as you wish. You can."

He made an oath with great sincerity and solemnity: "For King Fu, I can give everything. Even if I don't have an official position, even if I only want to be a white-clothed master, I am willing."

Li Hong's sword was still held up, and he did not put it down.

Wei Yu fell on the ground, showing no sign of humbleness.

It's a big gamble.

He used his own life to bet on the saint's love for his youngest son.

Last time he won.

This time...
