Chapter 533: Li Ke's Background
Hearing Du Shaoqing's discernment, Emperor Li Er angrily rebuked: "Bastard, is Du Shaoqing the only one who is innocent and innocent?
Get back to me, think about my life behind closed doors for three months, and don’t go out without following the orders!”
After saying that, Li Er turned away, and soon someone came in and took Du Shaoqing out.
Then news came out of the court that his son-in-law Du Shaoqing had trespassed into the Heavenly Prison and was imprisoned by the emperor.
Xiao Xuanxuan, who returned home, asked, "Dad, have you told my grandfather to let my third uncle go? Did he agree?"
Du Shaoqing said helplessly: "Don't mention it, now even our father and daughter are locked up."
As he spoke, he took out the Tianzhuan hand-out order in his arms and handed it to his daughter and said, "This thing is useless. You can send it to the kitchen to Dahu, so that he can use it to attract fire."
"No way..." Xiao Xuanxuan pulled a long voice with disappointment, pouted her little mouth and said dissatisfiedly: "How can grandpa do this? We just deliver a meal to my third uncle, why did he keep us?
Dad, do you think my grandfather is sick? Why don’t you prescribe some medicine for him? He is very sick. There are so many bad people in the world that can’t be caught. But Jingguan is the good people like us. By the way, there is also the third uncle, who is also a good person."
At this moment, Princess Changle walked out of the back house and heard her daughter's words. She frowned and scolded, "Xuanxuan, what are you talking about? Who taught you to talk about your grandfather behind your back?"
Xiao Xuanxuan shrank her neck, she stuck out her tongue and trotted towards the kitchen.
The princess said to Du Shaoqing: "Husband, I have heard about your affairs. The child is ignorant, so you can't spoil her like this. What if you are injured in the Heavenly Prison?"
Du Shaoqing smiled, walked over and pulled his wife to the back house together, and explained, "Don't worry, I'm sure I've been there for no reason. And today is the first day Li Ke was detained, so I must meet him.
Let’s talk about your trip to the harem. Did your mother-in-law agree to help?”
The princess was powerless: "The mother reluctantly agreed, but she was not sure. This time the third brother violated the taboo of his father, so... I'm afraid it's not optimistic."
Du Shaoqing said, indeed, if the queen's own son made a mistake, I'm afraid there would be no need for others to persuade him, and the queen would help him plead with mercy as soon as possible. If it were Li Ke, although this queen also called the queen the queen mother, in the eyes of the queen, the more talented the prince was, the stronger the enemy of his son.
(ps: The Empress of the Tang Dynasty is the mother of the country. Any prince or princess born in the palace must regard the Empress as the mother and call her mother, and their biological mother can only be called the mother.)
It seems that the queen is 90% likely to calculate.
"Okay, don't worry. Today I met my father-in-law. This emperor is not confused. If nothing unexpected happens, Li Ke will have no worries about his life." Du Shaoqing comforted his wife and said.
The princess said with a gloomy face: "I remember my mother told me privately that my father had always been resentful of the matter about Xuanwu Sect. Brothers were killed by each other and his biggest knot. I really couldn't imagine that if the father and son were killed by each other again..."
Tsk tsk...
Du Shaoqing looked at the crying wife, although he felt sorry for her, he could not. In my memory, His Majesty Li Er in history did not seem to have killed his son, but Li Chengqian's ending in history was indeed bad. Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian was almost changed to Li Ke and suffered.
In the kitchen, Dahu was cooking with the newlywed wife. Although Dahu was born in a noble family, how could Dahu be willing to let her cook and do things? But Miss Su was a husband and wife, and insisted on staying in the kitchen in the name of learning cooking from her husband, which made Du Shaoqing embarrassed to see Grandma Su again.
"Uncle Dahu, I'll bring you some good things." Xiao Xuanxuan ran in happily. Perhaps because she smelled the scent of the kitchen, the child's mood also improved.
"Oh, it's Xuanxuan. It's about to start dinner. Today I made your favorite food... Wait, what are you taking??
Madam, let’s see what this is? I don’t know much about literacy, so why does this seal feel like His Majesty’s?”
Dahu took the document, looked through it, and quickly called him Madam.
When Mrs. Dahu saw it, she was startled, "Husband, this is the documentary hand-in-hand issued by Your Majesty to Prince Du, and he was allowed to visit the prison in Tianzhu."
"Is that important?" Dahu asked.
"Of course, it's quite important. I heard that King Li Ke of Wu was imprisoned. I think this is what His Majesty gave the prince to visit His Highness of Wu. Without this, you can't get into the Heavenly Prison." Mrs. Dahu analyzed.
Xiao Xuanxuan next to her said dissatisfiedly: "What a broken document? It's useless. Grandpa still punished me and my father for three months in jail.
Dad said, let me give this to Uncle Dahu’s kitchen to cause fire.”
What??×2
Dahu exclaimed: "Your Majesty punished you and the shopkeeper to be suspended for three months? Why?"
But Mrs. Dahu exclaimed that Du Shaoqing actually dared to burn His Majesty's handwritten documents, so bold.
In the past, because paper was scarce in the Tang Dynasty, it was strictly prohibited to destroy books with handwriting, even a piece of paper would not work.
In the past two years, because papermaking has been improved and bamboo paper has been used to make paper, the paper output has increased dramatically, and even straw paper is invented instead of toilet chips, so this ban has been ignored by everyone.
But even so, the emperor's handwritten letter is an imperial edict. If anyone puts it in a good family, it will be treasured at the least. Prince Du is better and sent to the kitchen to burn firewood. If His Majesty finds out, what would be wrong?
"No, if this is spread, but the serious crime must be the child who made the mistake. You should send this to the prince consort as soon as possible." Mrs. Dahu urged.
This made Xiao Xuanxuan next to her anxious. She snatched the document, threw it neatly into the stove, clapped her hands and said, "That's true, just this broken thing scares you two. Let alone this thing, I've burned all the imperial edicts on my grandfather's desk, what's the fuss about?"
After saying that, they floated away, leaving Dahu and his wife standing there on the spot.
After a moment, Dahu came back to his senses and shouted, "Xuanxuan, I'll make it for you what delicious food do you want?"
"I won't eat tonight, I'm already full in the prison." Xuanxuan's reassuring response came from a distance.
Mrs. Dahu asked weakly: "Husband, is what the little princess said true?"
"Well... it should be true. Our little princess never lie except for making pranks. This kind of thing is the topic of conversation she shows off, so it must be not fake." Dahu said confidently.
"Why haven't you heard of this? Isn't your Majesty angry?"
Dahu laughed and said, "How could it be? Who would impeach a child of a few years? His Majesty regards the little princess as a treasure, and maybe he will applaud her and praise her."
My God, I didn't expect that the Du family would be so loving to the emperor. Mrs. Dahu exclaimed in her heart.
Li Ke was arrested and imprisoned for something wrong. The most anxious thing was his biological mother. After crying many times, Yang Fei, who lost her composure, decided to leave the palace for help.
It happened that the emperor secretly ordered that Yang Fei did not prevent her from leaving the palace, so she came to the Yang Mansion, which she had not visited for many years.
This Yang family is not the former Sui Yang family, but the Hongnong Yang family, one of the famous families in the world. Although it is not as prominent as the thousands-year-old family like the Five Clan Qiwang, it was once very prosperous because the former Sui Yang family was one of the side branches of the Hongnong Yang family.
Such a great clan has a wide connection and great power. Even His Majesty Li Er has to treat him carefully. So when facing the situation where his son is about to be killed, Concubine Yang first thought of her parents' family. Although the royal family of the Yang clan of the Great Sui Dynasty is gone, the Yang clan of Hongnong is an unscathed family member.
The Yang clan leader personally received the Concubine Yang. Of course, he knew the other party’s purpose, but he bluntly stated that the Yang family should avoid suspicion now and should not go against the wind, otherwise it would harm Li Ke.
Concubine Yang cried and begged: "Uncle, the little woman knows that it is extremely risky to ask you to take action, but now Ke'er's life is in full swing, inside and outside the court and the country are either fences or enemies. Except for the Yang family of Hongnong, no one cares about Ke'er's life or death.
Please save Ke'er for the sake of his health in the Yang family."
The old patriarch sighed: "Li Ke is a good child. Someone in the clan suggested that he would support him and support him in the position of crown prince. But I know very well that His Majesty is a cruel man who can kill his brothers and will never lay hidden dangers for the Li family business, so Ke'er has no chance. Even if Ke'er dares to fight for power, the emperor will never be ruthless.
Why did you make a fool of yourself this time?”
"Uncle, I guarantee that Ke'er is innocent and he has never rebelled. He once promised me that he would never be interested in the throne and just want to be the prince of Taiping." Concubine Yang explained in tears.
The Yang clan leader slapped the table and cursed: "So, Ke'er was framed by a thief and wanted his life? Such a cruel method, the Yang family of the Great Sui Dynasty could not tolerate this little blood. Can he, Li Shimin, really dare to eat the tiger poisonously?"
The old man was so angry that he dared to call the emperor directly, and this scene also scared Concubine Yang and was stunned and at a loss.
After a while, the old patriarch said in a deep voice: "You go back and wait a moment. Even if Ke'er commits a death sentence, he will not be able to do anything casually if he wants to kill a prince. Hongnong Yang will mobilize all the strength to protect Ke'er. If the emperor dares to kill, he will be against all the old people left by the former Sui Dynasty.
The Tang Dynasty has only been established for more than 20 years, but the consequences of the Li royal family cannot bear. The worst result should be that Ke'er was demoted to a commoner."
"Thank you, uncle. As long as you can save Ke'er's life, the common people will be the common people. This prince is worried all day long, too eye-catching, it's fine if you don't!"
You...hey!
The old patriarch sighed, but did not explain in detail to Yang Fei. If the prince and prince were not protected, it would be as easy as crushing a bug to death if he wanted to kill Li Ke. Therefore, it would be better to keep this identity.
At this time, the butler quickly walked in, whispered in the old patriarch's ear, and Concubine Yang stood up to say goodbye.
The old patriarch called her and said, "Hongnong Yang family could not face the emperor and provoke the imperial power, so we had to investigate the truth secretly and secretly push hands to help put pressure on the safeguard.
Just now, the son-in-law of the miracle doctor, Du Shaoqing, took his daughter to visit Ke'er. The Du family was deeply favored, and maybe he could help."
When Concubine Yang heard this, she immediately became energetic, said goodbye and walked away quickly, heading straight for the Du family.
Princess Changle hugged Yang Fei who was about to kneel down when she was crying. Du Shaoqing comforted her and said, "I went to visit my third brother. He did not suffer much in prison. Please rest assured Aunt Yang. In order to prevent the villain from assassinating, I also left him a life-saving pill. He will be very safe in prison."
"I really don't know how to thank you if Ke'er can take care of you.
I heard that you forced to go to the heavenly prison and were still confined by His Majesty? We have implicated you." Concubine Yang said gratefully.
"What do you say to implicate me? Third brother is Xuanxuan's uncle. He was framed for our family and it is impossible for us to not save him. Although I can't go out, the Du Family Chamber of Commerce can still help. As long as we work together to find out the truth behind the scenes, Third brother can come out." Du Shaoqing reminded.
"Yes, I'm so anxious that I'm so anxious. I'll beg Your Majesty now. No matter what others say, I absolutely don't believe that Ke'er will raise a dead man to rebel."
Concubine Yang said goodbye with a firm look on her face. This time she planned to kill her at the palace gate and see the emperor.
Princess Changle looked at Yang Fei's back and said with a slight tribute: "Aunt Yang is a wonderful woman who combines beauty and wisdom. Even the queen sometimes says she is inferior to her. Unexpectedly, she loses her composure for her son."
"I feel sorry for parents in the world. Every mother is the guardian of the child." Du Shaoqing sighed, then turned to look at his wife and teased: "But there seems to be exceptions. Some people left without even Xuanxuan, tsk..."
What???
The princess blushed in an instant and chased her husband and started to fight, "How can you say that to me? Isn't that because my mother's queen is critically ill?
Besides, if I don’t come back, can Xuanxuan and you come to Chang'an City to settle down? You still don’t know if our daughter can support her and grow up in Luoxia Town. I am really worried that one day she will be hungry..."
As he was talking, the princess's tears fell, and Du Shaoqing hurriedly held her back and coaxed her.
"So that's what you think. Then you said earlier, it would be better for our family of three to set off together for the sake of our daughter, and I'm not afraid of anything."
Wiping away the tears, the princess gave her husband a blank look and said resentfully: "Just your courage, if I tell you that I am a princess, don't scare you to death?
Besides, my mother is not in good health. When she comes to Chang'an, no one can protect our family of three. I am afraid the tragedy will be faster.
So are you, why do you hide it from me if you have good medical skills?"
How come I'm going to go back again? It's okay, why should I talk about this?...
Just as all forces were paying attention to the Li Ke case, some people were thinking about it. Now that the crown prince Li Chengqian has been deposed as the eldest prince, it is not even a prince's turn.
Another legitimate son is the fourth prince, King Wei Li Tai. Because he was exiled to the frontier because he assassinated the prince before. Among the remaining adult princes, Li Ke is the most powerful competitor to the crown prince.
