Chapter 45 Details
In the afternoon, in the garden, Li Li walked on the path, looking at a piece of paper as he walked.
The content written on the paper is a summary of news from Yecheng. Because there is a "Flying Pigeon's Letter", the news is timely.
Now, Li Li was attracted by a message:
Gao Rui, the Zhao County King of Qi State, impeached powerful ministers and Shi Kai but failed. Instead, he was beaten by the other party. So he was killed after entering the palace one day.
It has only been three months since Gao Zhan passed away.
As Zu Yi expected, the "attack" launched by the royal family vassal king (Zhao County King Gao Rui) on the Heshi could not hurt the "target" at all, and instead he was in trouble.
The reason is naturally that He Shikai had the support of Empress Dowager Hu, which directly influenced the will of the underage emperor and used the imperial power to carry out a "killing blow" against Gao Rui.
He put away the paper and looked at the sunny wind in front of him, feeling a little sad.
A few years ago, when the Liang State was still in the Liang State, the Liang army attacked Henan. Liang Sen led the Xuzhou army to cross the river and into Hebei. Gao Rui, the King of Zhao County of Qi, led his army to intercept it.
Although Gao Rui suffered a great defeat and was in a very embarrassing situation, he actually tried his best.
After all, Liang Sen has magical weapons and powerful weapons in his hands, and the Qi army cannot win that battle at all.
Now, Gao Rui is in a public opinion. He failed to eliminate traitors for the Qi State, but he was harmed. He discussed the matter with the matter. Li Li admired the other party:
Even though he knew he would lose, he would launch a dead attack like a moth to the fire.
Because the treacherous ministers were tied to the emperor, the loyal ministers tried to rely on reasoning and asked the emperor to drive the treacherous ministers away. How could this succeed?
In the eyes of that young emperor, He Shikai was a great loyal minister!
Li Li walked slowly forward, and a few small figures suddenly passed on the horizontal path, cheering and jumping forward.
But there were a few children aged three or four, riding a bamboo horse to chase and fight. Li Li stopped and watched the little guys run past the path in front of him, and then turned back.
They ran back and forth and disappeared soon.
Li Li continued to walk forward, and as he walked, he saw several people sitting under the pavilion ahead.
The little guys riding bamboo horses had gathered in front of the pavilion, put the bamboo horses on the bed, and ate pastries.
One of the boys entered the pavilion and sat between two women, holding a bowl and drinking water.
Another girl who was slightly older than him, holding a handkerchief and wiping the boy's sweat.
Li Li stopped, and did not go past, just looking at the pavilion at all times.
Looking at the scene of the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren in the pavilion.
Among them, the middle-aged woman was the former Queen Mother of Liang, Xie; the young woman next to her was Li Li's eldest daughter, Li Ping'an, the former Queen of Liang.
And the girl and the boy were a sister and her mother was Li Ping'an.
His father's surname is Xiao, so the sister and sister's surname is Xiao...
No, this boy is not surnamed Xiao.
Li Li reminded himself again to remember this.
He looked at the scene in the pavilion silently. Xie quickly noticed that Li Li was watching outside. Seeing that Li Li had no intention of coming, she continued to feed her grandson pastries.
Xiao Xun has no son, because the queen gave birth to girls, so the child in front of him is not named Xiao.
She often reminds herself not to forget this, but every time she sees the child, she can't help but miss her son.
This child looks exactly the same as his father when he was a child...
Before he knew it, after four years, Li Li has fulfilled his promise so far, both Emperor Xun and the noble Liang royal families, all of them are living well.
Li Li had a minimum moral bottom line, which made Xie feel much more at ease.
Zhang Guiren had already remarried with his daughter and lived his own life. Brother Xun returned to his family and settled in Poyang with his relatives. The ones who stayed in Huaiyin were her, her sons, wives, granddaughters and grandsons.
Li Li arranged a few children of the same age to be playmates for his grandson, so the little guy was having a happy day, and Xie and Li Ping'an were also very happy.
The family went out of the city from time to time, walking around Huaiyin, and life was fast.
But the premise of all this is that both parties must abide by the agreement.
So, she had to always remember that she didn't have a grandson.
As long as life goes on safely, perhaps in more than ten years, she can watch the child get married and have children.
Xie's attention was all on the child, and Li Ping'an was happy to see his son jumping around.
After a while, she also noticed that her father was coming.
Li Ping'an was about to take his daughter to greet him, but when Li Li raised his hand and signaled "No need to come over", Li Ping'an nodded, stayed in the pavilion, and continued to talk to his son.
Li Li left slowly and walked out along the path.
When he has time, he will come to see his daughter, grandchildren and granddaughter and talk.
But he won't intervene too much, because he always feels a little guilty.
Li Ping'an was unwilling to remarry. The good years were frozen early, and he was counting on a couple of children in the second half of his life.
Li Li and Huang Yan cannot protect their daughter for the rest of their lives, so they can only ensure that their grandchildren grow up safely, so that Li Ping'an, who will be many years later, will have a support for her.
Li Li walked closer to the main entrance of the other palace and looked at a ox cart parked outside the door from afar, following several servants in green clothes on both sides, while an eunuch led two women into the door and walked into the palace.
He looked closely and saw that one of the people was an old friend - the second princess Liang Xiao Miaoqing.
The Liang Kingdom had already perished, and of course Xiao Miaoqing lost the name and treatment of the princess and became "Miss Xiao". As a vain, he depended on his son for his life.
Xiao Miaoqing and the former Queen Mother of Liang Xie had a good relationship and were in Huaiyin, so Xiao Miaoqing often went to other palaces to visit Xie.
Of course, when there is an outsider, the child will not show up.
When the eunuch saw Li Li, he quickly saluted, while when Xiao Miaofei saw Li Li, she suddenly looked a little panicked, as if she was a thief.
Li Li noticed the other party's facial details and couldn't help but wonder: Why are you looking guilty?
Could it be that there is a ghost in your heart?
Thinking about Xiao Miaoqing's "feat" before, he suddenly had an idea: Could it be...Is it that I want to assassinate me again?
......
A few days later, Li Li looked at the secret report, and the content of the report was about the situation of Xiao Miaoqing, the princess of the former Liang Liyang.
That day, Li Li was suspicious of Xiao Miaoqing's "crime" appearance, so he wanted to investigate it so that he would not be plotted against that day.
But in the past few years, he has not paid attention to the other party, so he is not clear about the other party's situation, so he asked "Yousi" to investigate.
Because Xiao Miaoqing is not a person on the surveillance list at all levels, "Yousi" spent some time investigating the widow's situation in recent years.
The survey results are roughly as follows:
More than four years ago, the prince-consort died unexpectedly and was later buried in the suburbs of Jiankang. Xiao Miaoqing lived in the Wangjia Manor outside the city, mourning for his deceased husband and raising his young son.
More than a year ago, Wang's father Wang Chong died, and many brothers of the Wang family divided the property. Xiao Miaoqing was in the Wang family manor, and the situation was somewhat subtle.
Because of "housework", and although Xiao Miaoqing was over 30 years old, her appearance became more and more charming. The Wang brothers may have been unable to give Xiao Miaoqing too much help because of the concerns of "little plums in the melon field".
Xiao Miaoqing had no more support in her husband's house, and her parents' house was gone, so she could only find another way out.
Because she had already been in the throne (the mourning period expired), and before she had a property with Wang? in Huaiyin, she took her son to live in Huaiyin.
Rely on the property left by the king, save your life.
Judging from the situation when he started to cut down the child servants after returning to Huaiyin, perhaps the savings left by Wang? had already been spent on a lot of it before.
Although there is land, there should not be much. In addition, the court has to pay full rent and taxes for the procuratorate, the territory, and the scholars and commoners, so their income will definitely be affected.
According to the situation found in "Yousi", as of the end of last autumn, Xiao Miaoqing and her son had a very difficult life.
The main income seems to come from the production of fields, and no business industry has been found yet.
So, this person began to study the "horse classics" and wanted to make some money by gambling horses.
When Li Li saw this, he could already guess the ending:
Gambling harms people. Although horse racing gambling is a small gambling, it is always a gambling. It is conceivable that Xiao Miaoqing, who is eager to make money but cannot manage it, must be addicted to this and make a big fortune with a small profit.
However, he must have been losing all the time, but he was unwilling to give up and continued to bet.
If you have to pay it up, you can borrow money. If you lose, you have no money to pay it back. Then you will borrow again. You will be out of control and have a lot of debts and cannot repay it.
Then, a beauty who is over thirty years old but becomes more and more charming will inevitably become the treasurer's pocket in the end.
A beautiful person and a noble princess of the previous dynasty, but he has no support. Such a "quality beauty" will not let go of any opportunity for those who lend money.
He continued to read, and saw clearly the follow-up content, and couldn't help but be stunned.
According to the information found by the staff, after the beginning of winter last year, Xiao Miaoqing seemed to have made a lot of money through horse racing betting.
Therefore, at the beginning of the new year, the servants were given treatment, and the staff were added. They also repaired houses, replaced furniture, and improved food. It was obvious that the hands were starting to be loose.
Li Li felt incredible: What is this? You are afraid you can’t even ride a horse, how can you understand horses? How can you make a lot of money by gambling by horse racing?
For horse racing betting, it is impossible for ordinary players to make a lot of money so easily, unless...
Unless someone manipulates the results of the game and you know the inside story!
The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he felt. Xiao Miaoqing looked guilty that day, and he must have been "shy" with him: An old acquaintance, if you really fall in love at first sight, it would have happened long ago, right?
Then there is only the possibility of "being a thief and being guilty".
If someone really manipulates the results of the horse racing, this will be amazing. It will directly lead to the unfairness of the race in the Jockey Club, and the reputation that has finally been established will sooner or later be destroyed.
Li Li decided to pull these people out no matter what, otherwise the racehorse would be stink!!
When he thought of the stage he had worked hard to set up and was used to perform vulgar programs, he scolded in his heart: Cheating? If you want to cheat, I will be on my own. It’s your turn!!
Li Li put down the report, got up and walked back and forth in the case. After walking for a while, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Chapter completed!
