Chapter 41: Lead trial

Li Chaoge snatched everything the emperor could say, and when the queen saw it, he also persuaded: “The saint, it’s just a small case, it’s okay to let them practice their hands. With the officials of Dali Temple watching, nothing can go wrong.”

Now that his wife and daughter said so, the emperor sighed and agreed: “Okay, then. If the order is passed on, the follow-up investigation of the Rakshasa bird will be handled by Gu Mingke. Gu Mingke, are you competent?”

Gu Mingke doesn’t have a preference for the type of case, he? Actually, he doesn’t want to get involved with this matter. Li Chaoge plays power for his own purposes. Gu Mingke doesn’t need to be a raft for her. However, listening to Li Chaoge’s words just now, this case seems to be grievances, if there is grievance, then Gu Mingke has to look at it.

Gu Mingke nodded, his voice was faint: “The minister is willing to give it a try.”

The emperor said: “Okay. You rest for a few days and wait for the grace ceremony to be completed? Go to Dali Temple to report. If there is anything in the trial? If you don’t understand, please ask the seniors of Dali Temple more.”

Gu Mingke raised his hand, leaned slightly and said, “The minister abides by the decree.”

After the emperor had confessed to Gu Mingke, his face was languid, and he didn’t have the energy to care about other people. Upon seeing this, the servant sang: “The hall test is over, and the tribute will leave.”

Many scarlet scholars bowed at once: “Thank you, Lord. Long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, saint.”

The appearance is the same as when entering the field, and they are ranked in order. Li Chaoge saw that Gu Mingke was leaving, his face moved, and he wanted to catch up with him? Explain the details of the Mo Linlang case. It took her all the hard work to put the case in the hands of Gu Mingke. If Gu Mingke sentenced her to death and Mo Dalang was not guilty, then Li Chaoge would really vomit blood.

The emperor and the queen sat on the top, seeing the movement below clearly. After the jinshis left the field, to be precise, after Gu Mingke left the field, Li Chaoge’s eyes clearly drifted away, and he wanted to chase it out after watching the action. The emperor was unhappy, and said solemnly: “Chaoge.”

Li Chaoge made a small step before he was stopped by the emperor. Li Chaoge watched as Gu Mingke stepped down the steps and gradually became mixed in the flow of people, and soon disappeared. Li Chaoge was very unwilling, but she couldn’t disobey the emperor, so she sighed and turned back regretfully: “Sage.”

The emperor was very angry when he saw Li Chaoge’s reluctant expression. There were no outsiders in the hall at the moment, and the emperor gave a gloomy expression, and scolded: “You two are too unruly! The dignified princess makes such a joke. What is it?”

Li Chaoge crossed his hands and bowed his head obediently to listen to the training. Li Changle spit out his tongue, ran out from behind the palace maid, and said coquettishly: “Father, I just want to see this year’s new scholars. The palace said that this year’s scholars are very beautiful, and the ladies outside the palace are crazy, you Don’t let me go out of the palace, I will come to the palace to see by myself. Isn’t this all right?”

Li Changle was not afraid of the emperor, and in turn complained that the emperor would not let her go out. The emperor became more and more angry, patted the armrest again, and said angrily: “Presumptuous! It seems that I am too accustomed to you, so that you can’t? Wutian, I don’t know the sky and the earth. Look at you now, how can there be anything? Princess The way it looks like? If it is passed out, wouldn’t it be the five surnames to taunt me, Li’s won’t teach her daughter?”

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the family was respected and the celebrities were sought after. The Li family came from Longxi. Although it was also a noble warlord, and later established a new dynasty, in the eyes of the family of five surnames, it was a nouveau riche, with no background. Wu Xing Qiwang has always looked down on the Li family, thinking that his family is poor and rude, and will fight wars. The Li family knows nothing about other elegant things such as burning incense, drinking wine, drinking tea, etiquette and so on.

In fact, we can’t blame the family for looking down on them. The girls of the family care about not showing up and smiling, and the princesses of the Li family are more reckless, riding and archery to raise their faces. The emperor was born in Chang’an. He was born in a peaceful and prosperous age. He has never experienced the turbulent years when the ancestors of the emperor hit the world, so many of his ideas were influenced by the ethics of the family. He really spoils his daughter. The daughter hides behind the screen and looks at him. He can be regarded as opening one eye and closing one eye, but if two daughters fell out from behind the screen, it would be outrageous.

Li Chaoge was criticized very wrongly, but he couldn’t refute it, so he had to bow his head and admit it. Li Changle finally realized that her father seemed to be really angry. She was unwilling to stand up. During the training, she did not forget to raise her head to argue: “Father, I won’t be anymore. Don’t be angry.”

Seeing the emperor in anger, the Queen said, “Fortunately, there are no outsiders today. These jinshi are all scholars. I let the female officer beat one or two, they should not talk nonsense. But you two should also learn the rules, if ? Today is not the new jinshi, but the saint and the prime minister are discussing the matter. Are you rushing in like this?”

Li Changle pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice, “If it’s the prime minister, I won’t come to see it.”

When Li Chaoge heard Li Changle’s words, he said that he was so courageous that he was afraid that he would not annoy the queen. The queen is not the same as the emperor. The emperor is angry, and the foolishness will pass. If? The queen is angry…

Ah.

Li Chaoge didn’t want to be tired by this stupid anymore. She knelt down with her skirt and bowed three times in a straightforward manner. She said: “The son of the minister knows his fault, and the saint and the queen of heaven are shameless. It is the son of the son. With no foot, copy the scriptures and reflect in the palace.”

The Queen’s expression eased a little, Li Changle was spoiled, but fortunately there was Li Chaoge. The Queen glanced at Li Chaoge with satisfaction, and when she turned to Li Changle, she sighed again: “Look at how sensible your sister is, and then look at you. Don’t you kneel down and admit your mistakes?”

Li Changle knelt down with a pouting mouth, crossed his hands and said, “Father, Aniang, I was wrong. I have admitted my mistakes, can I not be punished?”

“You…” The emperor was angry with the Queen, angry and helpless towards Jiaojiao’s little daughter. The emperor hates iron and sighed, and said: “You, you are also going to be a relative, learn more with your sister, and don’t make trouble all the time. You also ban your feet in the palace, etc. Why? When is it time to reflect and understand before leaving the palace.”

When Li Changle heard it, he immediately prolonged his tone of “um”, and looked at the emperor and the queen in his eyes. The emperor’s queen was unmoved. On the other side, Li Chaoge had already saluted happily, palms on the ground, and prayed, “I obey your orders.”

Seeing that the two princesses had confessed to their mistakes, the maids knew that if the punishment was severe, the emperor would definitely feel distressed, so they tried to figure out the emperor’s wishes and persuaded: “Holy man, the two princesses know that they are wrong, you calm down. Don’t be so angry.”

“Yes, it’s been cold recently, and the ground is very cold. The princess is delicate and expensive, I’m afraid I can’t bear it.”

The emperor was held by the crowd, slowly calming his face, and said: “Okay, get up. It’s cold on the ground, be careful to turn back and get sick.”

“Thanks to the saint.” Li Chaoge thanked him and stood up slowly. Li Changle’s movements were not as smooth as Li Chaoge, and he staggered when he stood up. After the emperor’s anger was over, the benevolent side of his character gained the upper hand again. He? Seeing the most favored little daughter lingering, the eldest daughter who had just found her also lowered her eyes and said nothing. The emperor was soft-hearted and could not bear to keep them for too long, so he said along the way: “There are many talents elected in the imperial examination this year. Needless to say, Gu Mingke has a few others who are also very knowledgeable. This is a happy event for the country. It is a celebration. It will be held in a few days. A jinshi banquet invites domestic and foreign officials and officials, and also shows the people of the world a look at our new talents.”

How talented the Queen is, how can I not understand that the emperor’s grand banquet was fake, and it was true that he wanted to take the opportunity to lift Li Changle’s foot restraint. The Queen didn’t reveal it, she smiled and replied: “Okay, the saint’s love is the talent, so we should congratulate him. But the guests at the banquet are all three grandfathers and nine princes. Live together in the same room. It’s better to give them officials first, so that when the banquet is held, they will look better on their faces.”

As soon as Li Chaoge heard that it was still like this, he hurriedly followed to entrain private goods: “The Queen is right. It just happens that weird things have happened frequently in Dongdu recently, so we should have a good time to get rid of the bad luck in the capital. The Rakshasa bird is still closed. Beiya, Beiya is an elite of the imperial court, responsible for protecting the safety of the saints. It would be too wasteful to take care of the monsters by the manpower occupying the Beiya. We might as well take advantage of the banquet, we will execute the Rakshasa bird in public, and also show it to the world’s subjects at the same time. The people see, no matter what monsters or monsters it is, there will be no splashes on our land in Li Tang.”

After listening to his wife and daughter’s suggestions, the emperor felt that they were all very good. He happily said: “Okay, that’s it. I have a headache these few days, and I can’t read the documents for a long time, so please worry about it. This year’s Jinshi and suitable positions will draft a list, and I will adjust it as appropriate. Chaoge, Rakshasa bird was captured by you, and you know it best. You can arrange for the execution.”

Li Chaoge said nothing. Tianhou said softly: “Sage, you and I have been married for many years, what do you still say these kind words? The body of the saint is the most important, you can rest at ease, I am the outside affairs.”

Li Changle looked at his mother and sister, vaguely caught something wrong, but didn’t figure out what was wrong. I don’t think about things that I don’t understand. She quickly threw away all this and still happily be her pet little princess: “Father, you have a head ailment again? Is it serious?”

“It’s okay, the old problem is sick.” The emperor pressed his eyebrows, waved his hand, and said, “Don’t worry, go back and do your own thing.”

The emperor tried his best to suppress it, but Li Chaoge could still see that the emperor had a headache, and he was very uncomfortable now. As an emperor, the emperor naturally does not want to be seen in his weak state. At this time, the emperor can only be with the emperor.

Li Chaoge was very acquainted. He didn’t ask about the cold or the warmth or the condition of the illness. As if he hadn’t noticed anything, he saluted: “The saint queen takes care of his body, and the son and minister retire.”

The emperor just nodded his head and didn’t do much to keep him. Li Chaoge walked out of the hall, and Li Changle’s twittering voice could be heard behind him. Even if Li Chaoge had no head ailments, he was arguing at the moment.

Li Chaoge walked down the white marble steps, the red skirt draped on the steps, like flowers and blood. She walked out, turned her head, and stared at the palace behind her for a long time.

Stars shift and fight, and things are human and non-human, but the palace under their feet is silent, watching the literati, princes and generals from the past to the present. Some people are proud of the spring breeze, some have stumbled, a dynasty is born here, and there are also princes who have subjugated themselves here for life.

The wheels of history are rolling forward. Before this day arrives, no one knows what will happen next.

Li Chaoge retracted his gaze and continued to walk steadily out. It’s no use doing everything, obeying the destiny, and blaming the heavens and the others. The only thing she can do is to make herself strong enough before the storm arrives.

Li Chaoge was banned in name. Although it was just a gesture, she said she asked to ban the foot, so she must make an attitude. She did not go out, but took a **** out of the palace and sent a letter to Bai Qianhe and Zhou Shao. Otherwise, Bai Qianhe and Zhou Shao would disappear as soon as they saw her entering the palace, which would easily cause misunderstandings. After dealing with the outside affairs, Li Chaoge stayed in Dechang Hall at ease, copying the scriptures, flipping through the scrolls, and quietly waiting for the arrival of the Jinshi Banquet.

March 20 is coming soon. Li Chaoge changed into a grand princess dress and went to Shangyang Palace for a banquet. Today is not only a grand gathering of literati, but more importantly, it is also the day when Rakshasa birds are publicly executed.

Early this morning, the Rakshasa bird was hung outside the Xianluo Gate of Shangyang Palace under the **** of the Yulin Army and the Dragon Tiger Army. When the people of Luoyang learned that they were going to kill the demon, they swarmed, and the audience was very crowded.

The person to be executed was Li Chaoge.
