Fairy, Please Let Me Explain Chapter 465

Chapter 465 Road

As the clock sounded, the warm sun punctually pierced the frost and fog covering the sky, falling on the solemn cornices outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The courtiers in the morning came out sparsely from the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Some were talking quietly in groups of three or two, and some were walking hurriedly towards the outside of the palace.

Watching the last minister disappear from sight, Li Yucheng slowly stood up from the short table under the golden throne.

His movements were very slow and light, showing a kind of feeble exhaustion.

Standing still for a long time, Li Yucheng slowly leaned down and picked up a document on the low-leg table.

　　The document is filled with words written in a flowing ink brush.

 This is a habit he has developed over more than ten years of supervising the country.

 Write down the political affairs discussed in each morning meeting, add your own annotations, and submit them to the father for review.

Over the past ten years and thousands of morning meetings, there has never been a single flaw, and the same is naturally true today.

Picked up today's documents and browsed through them. After Li Yucheng confirmed that they were correct, his soft voice sounded in the silent hall:

“Eunuch Nie, please submit this to my father.”

 The voice echoed, and the words fell out.

A feminine middle-aged man wearing a luxurious palace dress quietly appeared from behind the Jinluan throne, and came to the side of the prince in an instant.

 The great companion of the Holy One today, Eunuch Nie.

 “Yes, Your Highness.”

Eunuch Nie lowered his eyebrows and nodded, while habitually glancing at the document.

Although this thing is presented every time, the Holy One may not necessarily read it. In order to prevent some things from being missed, he has to be his companion to look over it first and then convey it to him.

However, this kind of record-keeping document is a bit redundant. It can only be regarded as an expression of the prince's attitude.

 After all, both sides knew that although the emperor did not go to court, he had other more precise ways to monitor government affairs.

Looking across, Eunuch Nie's lowered eyes suddenly froze. He raised his eyes in slight surprise and glanced at the prince in front of him without any trace, but then he suppressed the confusion in his heart.

 Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger. As a eunuch, you must abide by your duties.

Even if I am the closest person to the Holy Emperor, I cannot participate in the Holy Emperor's family affairs, even if the prince actually proposes to transfer the third prince to Japan in this troubled year.

 In silence,

Mr. Nie said softly in a slightly feminine voice:

“Then our family will present it to the emperor first.”

After saying this, Eunuch Nie disappeared in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in an instant when he saw the prince nod his head.

Not long after Eunuch Nie left, a **** wearing a third-grade palace dress slowly walked out of the shadows of the palace, came to Li Yucheng, bowed his head respectfully and asked:

“Your Highness, are we going back home now?”

Due to some examples of debauchery in the past, the Dayan Ancestral Hall has already established a rule that the prince who has reached adulthood can no longer stay in the palace without the holy order, even the prince who supervises the country is no exception.

Listening to his companion's inquiry, Li Yucheng remained silent for a while. He looked back at the golden throne bathed in light on the staircase. A hint of sadness flashed in his eyes. Just as he was about to respond, he heard a voice. Suddenly it sounded in his ears:

“Yucheng, come to Qingxin Pavilion.”

Qingxin Pavilion is located in the center of the huge Tianchi northwest of the palace city.

Due to the wetland climate, the frost and fog have not yet dissipated in the early morning. The slightly cold breeze blows across the lake, causing ripples and startling the flying geese that live here. It is like a fairyland on earth.

 Under the leadership of Eunuch Nie, Li Yucheng came to the top floor of Qingxin Pavilion and met his father again.

The old man with white hair and beard and hunched body is still dressed in the same way.

Wearing a white robe and plain clothes, with an imperial dragon robe wrapped around it.

He was sitting cross-legged on the bed, tapping the low table on the bed with one hand, and holding the morning notes written by Li Yucheng just now with the other hand.

The sun shines on him through the window lattice, and the wrinkles on his face are clearly visible, making him look even older.

Eunuch Nie turned around and left after leading Li Yucheng into the room.

Li Yaoxuan did not speak immediately, but browsed the note in his hand with an interested look, while Li Yucheng also stood aside quietly with his head lowered.

 Half a while,

Li Yaoxuan placed the rice paper in his hand on the low table, slowly turned his eyes, and asked softly:

“Do you know why I called you here?”

Li Yucheng bowed his head and responded without pretending to be confused:

 “My son and minister know it.”

Hearing this, Li Yaoxuan's lips curved into a smile, and the smile was somewhat meaningful:

“Since I know, I will come and ask you personally, are the things you stated in your morning account really true?”

Li Yucheng lowered his head, his eyes calm:

“Since I have written to my father, it is natural that every word of what I have written is true.”

"hehe."

Li Yaoxuan's cloudy eyes became clear for a moment, and he looked up and down at the eldest son in front of him, his eyes so sharp that it made people shudder.

Li Yucheng still bowed his head and remained silent.

Li Yaoxuan took a long breath, put down his crossed legs, and slowly stood up from the bed:

“You, the prince who supervises the country, may not know something, but Japan Island has actually sent envoys to our emperor.”

As he spoke, Li Yaoxuan walked towards Li Yucheng, his steps were very light, but he seemed to be stepping on Li Yucheng's heart.

After a moment of silence, Li Yucheng lowered his head and spoke:

“Do the envoys of Japan know that the emperor father is referring to those blond ghosts?”

"Ghost people? Those people are not worthy of the title of ghost."

 Li Yaoxuan chuckled and murmured, walked past Li Yucheng, came to stand in front of the antique display, and casually took out a rather strange thin sword from among the priceless antiques on it.

He casually danced a sword flower in the air, but the light from the sword still dimmed the light in the entire room.

 After doing this, Li Yaoxuan looked at the thin sword in his hand and said softly:

“This sword was a gift they gave me as a meeting gift. It's finely made and the material is acceptable. It's barely comparable to my Grade B forging materials from Great Flame.”

“Father, the unknown enemy should not be underestimated. This thin sword may not be the best.” Li Yucheng reminded in a low voice.

Hearing this, Li Yaoxuan put the rapier back and chuckled with unknown meaning:

"You are right, and what you stated in your morning account is also correct. It is more obvious than letting an unknown enemy sleep soundly under my great fire, and continuing to be neighbors with those Japanese who are short-sighted and only know how to plunder maritime merchants. more advantageous.

“I have indeed discussed this matter with the Prime Minister, and I am also preparing to send an imperial envoy to Japan to monitor.”

Speaking of which,

Li Yaoxuan suddenly changed the topic and asked softly:

"Yucheng, although you are a bit dull in some things, you have been supervising the country for so long, so you should know what this means, right?"

As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere in the whole room seemed to freeze.

What does 　　stand for?

Li Yucheng knew exactly what this meant.

Sending the third prince Li Yunqing to Japan means that all the power this younger brother has in Dayan will be freed up.

 With the current situation in the court, it is impossible for these powers to be transferred to the prince's hands so smoothly.

 In other words,

 The Royal Chamber of Commerce, some of the Royal Shadow Guards originally controlled by the princelings, and the various interpersonal networks that Li Yunqing developed privately in the court will no longer exist.

Taking a deep breath, Li Yucheng still maintained a tone:

 “My son and minister know it.”

 “As the boss, you really care about the mistress.”

“Er Chen and Yun Qing are compatriots”

"You are doing this, don't you really want to exclude Junqing from my sight?" "." Li Yucheng.

Li Yaoxuan looked at the eldest son in front of him with a smile and continued:

“You're right, after all, I probably don't have a few more years to live in this body. If Yun Qing is transferred at this time, I will naturally be excluded.”

 “Plop.”

 When the words fell, Li Yucheng directly bowed his head and knelt on the ground, clenching his fists slightly:

 “I hope my father will understand what I mean.”

Li Yaoxuan looked at the kneeling prince in front of him, slowly leaned over to help him up, and looked into his eyes at close range:

"Yucheng, why are you so nervous? I'm just talking. Junqing is like the right-hand man to your prince. Although sending him away can keep him away from my sight, it can also be regarded as freeing himself in front of Zhaoyuan. Broken arm.

 “Let me guess,

“Even if you don't tell me about this, there is a high probability that Yun Qing will come to me. After all, that boy has been afraid of trouble since he was a child.”

He said,

 Li Yaoxuan's sharp eyes suddenly flashed a touch of softness.

 He remembered that when these little boys got into trouble, the one who got off the fastest was always Li Yunqing.

　　While the other princes were being slapped, the boy had already run back to his mother to hide.

The softness passed away in a flash, and Li Yaoxuan helped Li Yucheng up and sat back on the bed.

Tightened the imperial dragon robe around him, the old man looked through the window lattice at the endless sky outside, and sighed and said:

“I, sometimes I really envy Xu Yinhe.”

The words fell silent. After Li Yaoxuan was silent for a few breaths, he suddenly laughed twice:

 “Hehehe, it seems that I am really old, and I am beginning to miss the past and regret the present.”

Looking at the rickety old man sitting on the bed talking to himself, Li Yucheng's eyes flashed with a complex, thin voice:

 “Father.”

 Halfway through his words, Li Yaoxuan's knife-like gaze swept over him. Li Yucheng's mind instantly cleared and he swallowed the rest of his words.

This father does not need any comfort or mercy.

 Since he has done it, he will not regret it.

What he said just now is just a sigh from his late seventies.

 Furthermore, the royal family is destined to never become a family like the Prime Minister's House.

Li Yaoxuan calmed down all his expressions and said softly with an expressionless face:

“I already know your attitude, and I agree to the Junqing event.”

Li Yucheng knelt down and saluted:

 “Thank you, Father.”

Li Yaoxuan did not let Li Yucheng leave immediately. He tapped his fingertips on the low-leg table on the bed and asked softly:

 “Where did you go out of the house last night?”

Li Yucheng's lowered eyes narrowed slightly.

 He knew that his father knew his whereabouts, but he did not expect that his father would ask this question.

Things like last night have happened several times. After several temptations, according to his judgment, the father should have acquiesced in his behavior.

 Mentioned at this time

With his mind spinning, Li Yucheng could not guess his father's innermost thoughts, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said truthfully:

 “My son, I went to see the son of the Minister of War.”

 “Wang Xianzhi?”

 “Wang Licheng.”

 “Wang Yuqian's illegitimate son?”

"yes."

“It seems that Zhao Yuan has really pushed you a little too hard, and you actually lowered your status to meet an illegitimate child.”

　　　　　Li Yucheng.

The directness of his father's words made it a little difficult for him to answer.

 But after clenching the palms under his sleeves slightly, Li Yucheng still said softly:

 “People's talents should not be judged by their origin.”

 “Ouch?”

Li Yaoxuan smiled softly when he saw the other person talking back:

"Just one night of conversation can make your prince talk back to me. It seems that you have a high opinion of that person."

 “I am just telling the truth.”

 “That's all, none of this is important.”

Li Yaoxuan had no intention of continuing this topic, and continued to say:

"Your idea is good, but it's a pity that you don't seem to have that much time to lay out the plan. Even if you recruit that person as a secret agent in the Prime Minister's Mansion, there is a high probability that he will not be used."

Hearing this, a strange color flashed in Li Yucheng's eyes.

 He felt that his father's words were telling him something hidden.

Anzi who needs time to plan is not available. In other words, if he wants to keep his position as crown prince, he will have to rely on forces that do not require ready-made plans.

Thinking of this, Li Yucheng raised his eyes and looked at the rickety old man sitting cross-legged on the bed, with a probing look in his eyes.

Seeing the eldest son's gaze, Li Yaoxuan gently shook his head:

"Yucheng, among my many princes, I really like you the most. I like your upright and upright character with the world in mind, but in some things, there is still some gap between you, Yun Qing and Zhao Yuan."

Speaking of which,

Li Yaoxuan sighed:

“If it were the two of them, they would most likely have understood what I meant when I asked the first sentence.”

Li Yucheng's warm eyes flashed with a hint of loss, and he lowered his head slightly:

 “My son, I have disappointed you, my father.”

“I don't mean to blame you. Sometimes this is a flaw, but sometimes it is also an advantage.”

Li Yaoxuan leaned on the bed sympathetically again, looking out the window faintly: "As long as you understand."

After hearing his father's order to expel guests, Li Yucheng did not get up and leave immediately, but continued to kneel where he was.

There is very little incense and the side room is silent.

Li Yaoxuan gradually frowned when he saw the prince kneeling in Qingxin Pavilion:

“If you don't go down, do you still want me to make a special trip to invite you?”

Li Yucheng raised his eyes and looked into his father's eyes, and said softly:

“Father, I think this is inappropriate.”

"boom!"

Before he finished speaking, Li Yaoxuan slapped the low-leg table on the bed.

A hurricane instantly set off in the room, and the silk curtains kept flying. When everything settled, the low-leg table on the bed turned into powder together with the morning note that Li Yucheng wrote today.

Li Yaoxuan stared at the prince in front of him, and the temperature of his voice dropped slightly:

“I have given you a path to take. Whether you want to take it or not is up to you.

 “Now, get out.”
