Chapter 21 The Widow of the King Next Door

Li You said: "The child is ready, but I won't go up and say it."

Concubine Yin said angrily: "Isn't it okay for you to be filial to your father and emperor?"

"Okay, I'll send someone to you, you can give it to him." Li You said.

"This kid... OK." Yin Fei said helplessly.

Li You left the harem and walked to Yongxiang. Li Chuanzhi came over and said, "I have met Your Highness. Your Highness the Crown Prince, please come over."

Li You sent his entourage back first and followed Li Chuanzhi to the East Palace.

In the garden, Li Chengqian was waiting for Li You alone. When he saw him coming, he said kindly: "Fifth brother, you come to the palace and you won't come to take a walk with you."

Li You bowed and said, "I have met the prince's brother. The threshold here is too high, and it's too troublesome to enter the palace. By the way, thank you for your last incident."

What he was talking about was Li Chengqian helping him speak in the court.

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Brother, it should be." Li You had a bad reputation. Li Chengqian felt superior in front of him, and there was no pressure, but instead felt much closer.

He said, "Fifth brother, I just got the news that someone has impeached you, and there are more than one person."

Li You asked, "What are you impeaching me?"

Li Chengqian said: "You did business in the West City, which was not a big deal. However, it was not you who impeached you, but Zhou Qian, the head of your mansion. They said that Zhou Qian sold bread in the West City under the banner of the Yiyang Palace, saying that you were not strict in discipline and were guilty of indulging in dereliction of duty."

"Damn, this is really a troublesome thing. It's not a big deal to target me directly, but it's more troublesome to target Zhou Qian. If Zhou Qian is punished, he will be slapping me in the face of King Yiyang." Li You said in his heart.

He said, "These damn guys are so full."

Li Chengqian said: "The people who wrote these impeachment memorials are closer to their fourth brother."

Li You nodded without saying a word.

Li Chengqian said: "Jingzhao Yin Chuheng came just now and helped you get everything you should do. Just find another explanation and pick up Zhou Qian."

Li You was really grateful and said, "Brother Prince, you always help me, how can I thank you?"

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Brother, what are you grateful for?"

Li You has been studying food these days, in addition to studying food, he also studies how to eat safely. He has long thought that instead of being treated as opponents by Li Chengqian, Li Ke and Li Tai, it is better to hide behind Li Chengqian and let the three of them fight, and life will be much more comfortable.

What's more, Li Chengqian is currently the most powerful, and his character is much better than Li Ke and Li Tailai.

Thinking of this, he said, "Brother Prince, you are so nice to me. I don't know anything. I know whoever is good to me will be good to whoever is good to me."

Li Chengqian was waiting for this sentence and was very happy. However, he just smiled faintly on the surface and said, "Okay, how close we brothers are in the future."

Li You said: "Brother of the Crown Prince, I have something to ask for advice."

Li Chengqian said, "Don't be polite, you said."

"I have recently developed a pasta, or a new Hu cake, called steamed bun... I wonder if it is useful?"

Li Chengqian didn't realize anything special and said, "This is a good thing."

Li You said: "You said it was a good thing, that's great. Tomorrow, in the court, I will say that you asked me to study and promote it. Is it OK?"

"This?" Li Chengqian was a little reluctant and said, "This is a trivial matter, there is no need to say it in the court, right?"

Li You said, "Then, let it go."

After Li You left, Li Chengqian told Zhang Xuansu about the content of the conversation. He said, "Fifth brother is still playing tricks. He actually wanted me to help him promote steamed buns in the court... I won't follow him to mess around." He told Zhang Xuansu about the steamed buns.

Zhang Xuansu said in surprise: "Your Highness, you, this is a great contribution, why didn't you see it?"

Li Chengqian still didn't understand, and he asked, "Isn't it just a kind of food? What is the credit?"

Zhang Xuansu said: "Your Highness, listen to me..."

After listening to Zhang Xuansu's words, Li Chengqian suddenly realized and said, "Li Dezhi, go to the Yiyang Palace immediately..."

On April 1st, it was another grand dynasty meeting, and Li You attended the dynasty as usual. However, he knew that someone was going to impeach him today, so he rarely fell asleep.

Sure enough, not long after, I heard someone say, "Your Majesty, I want to impeach Li You, King of Yiyang."

After all, Li You went to court for a short time, and he often slept, so he didn't know many people. He turned his head to see, but he didn't know him. Then he heard the man say, "Zhou Qian, the head of the Yiyang Palace, went to and from the West Market, participated in business under the name of the Yiyang Palace, and made huge profits. The Yiyang Palace was guilty of indulgence and misunderstanding."

This time, Li Shimin said directly: "King Yiyang, someone impeaches you, what do you have to say?"

Li You smiled and said, "It's okay to impeach, otherwise I'll fall asleep."

This time, Li Shimin was not angry. The ministers had the experience of the last court debate and were all looking forward to Li You to see how he fought back.

The censor has a great advantage in impeaching people. When an official encounters impeachment, he will explain whatever he asks him, which is very passive. Under the questioning of the censors, it is easy to make mistakes.

Li You won't be fooled.

Li You looked at the officials who impeached him and asked, "Who is your name?"

The official said, "I am the censor Gao Jun."

Li You said loudly: "Father, my son is going to impeach Gao Jun. He touched the house of Wang Wang in the middle of the night and stole someone's underwear."

When everyone heard this, they immediately felt energetic.

"Your Highness, don't swear." Gao Jun said.

"What does it mean to swear by blood? Last night, someone saw you running to the house of Wang Wang next door. When you came out, your waist was bulging. Then you heard Wang Wang shouting to catch the thief. You said, "What are you, a big man, stealing someone's underwear?" Li You said.

"You! Nothing. You are just slandering. Although I am a widow next door to my house, her surname is not Wang, but Zhao." Gao Jun refuted.

"Look at it, he admitted it. Yes, why are you stealing Widow Zhao's underwear?" Li You smiled.

"You, you..." Although Gao Jun is the censor and makes a living by talking, he has never seen such a scoundrel trick and doesn't know how to fight back for a while. His face turned red and he couldn't speak.

Everyone, including Li Shimin, couldn't help laughing.

At this time, Yan Liben couldn't bear it anymore, so he came out and said, "Your Highness, you shouldn't insult the innocence of Censor Gao. Did you say that he did those indecent things with your own eyes?"

Li You was not fooled. If he said he had seen it with his own eyes, if Yan Liben asked him what he had done in the middle of the night, he would have fallen into a trap. He smiled and said, "I heard of it, it must be that."

Yan Liben immediately said: "Yes, you didn't see it with your own eyes and there is no evidence. Isn't this slandering Censor Gao?"

"The wind must have a cause when it comes to emptiness. I am also hearing about it." Li You said.

Yan Liben said: "Your Majesty, look, Your Highness, Your Highness, has admitted it. He did not see it with his own eyes, but heard that it is not worthy of faith."

Li You said: "Why is it not worthy of trust?"

Gao Jun recovered and said, "Your Highness, you accuse me of doing indecent things, please provide evidence."

"Yes, when you heard this, Gao Junfeng opened your mouth and started to slander. Isn't it just a slander? You impeach Zhou Gan and have to come up with evidence. You said, what did you do when you went to Widow Zhao's house?" Li You said.

"You...I..." Gao Jun was so angry that he trembled all over.

Li Shimin couldn't stand it anymore and said, "King Yiyang, if you have something to say, don't mess around."
