Chapter Nine, the General of Cavalry faces the Crown Prince's horse groom.

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Yesterday, the soup that Chen Shanyi sent was left untouched by him

Historical records at this moment hold no reference value whatsoever

Li Sixing straightened up slightly upon hearing Wei Zheng's words and smiled as he said: "I have heard that the Qi Wangfu, where I serve, has now come under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Palace. You hold the esteemed position of the Eastern Palace's horse-washing official, and as a subordinate official of the Eastern Palace, it is only natural for me to pay my respects upon seeing you"

Chen Shanyi has rendered great kindness to the Li family, and Li Yuan cannot simply turn a blind eye to it because of the humble origins of Chen Shanyi

After a long while, Li Ji slightly furrowed his brows and commanded outside the hall, "Come in!"

This is the breakfast of a prince of the Tang Dynasty

It may appear somewhat shabby, but in this era, it is indeed a lavish feast

He is aware of Chen Shanyi's plight and also sympathizes with Chen Shanyi's situation

Li Yuanming knew that Li Yuanheng's actions were instigated by Concubine Yin De, but out of pity for Li Yuanheng's innocent demeanor, he forgave Concubine Yin De

In that case, it would be better to take a different path

Li Yuanji asked Xie Shufang to investigate the person, which, although it might provoke Li Yuan's displeasure, is not considered a significant mistake

It was merely a title of Lady Ciyi given to Chen Shanyi, but the exact status was not clarified by Li Yuan

Go and ask who has been bullying Lady Chen at the residence

Li Yuanji does not doubt Chen Shanyi's love for his predecessor, but he has also seen news about a parent who loves their child yet jumps off a building with their child.

However, Li Yuan still does not care about Chen Shanyi

Li Yuanji felt quite happy

It is evident that this was taught by Consort Yin.

Enough, enough, stop arguing

Li Yuanji was eager to inquire, but Chen Shanyi quickly placed the square redwood tray on the long table in front of Li Yuanji and then swiftly exited the hall

It was the maid who reminded Li Yuanji of his improper conduct yesterday

Otherwise, what Chen Shanyi might deliver could be not food, but poison

Li Yuan issued an order

Li Yuanji glared at Uncle Xie and said, "I have already confined myself to the Wude Hall, how else can he punish me?"

The Princess of Qi shares both honor and disgrace with the Prince of Qi, and will not select a group of treacherous individuals to harm him

Li Yuanji stared at the meal, hesitating whether to eat or not

Li Yuanji immediately prepared to instruct the maid to prepare food

The female relatives of the enemies captured by the Li Tang were either palace maids or reserve palace maids, and their numbers were quite substantial

He issued an edict to strip Yin Ashu of his official position, and also ordered that Concubine Yin De be placed under house arrest. Furthermore, he revoked the fief of Li Yuanheng, which led Concubine Yin De to bring Li Yuanheng before him to create a disturbance

Li Yuan was unwilling to lose face in front of his son, and when his son taught him a lesson, he immediately took it to heart

Li Yuanji demonstrated through his actions to Li Yuan that gratitude is unrelated to status

Li Yuanji suddenly shouted outside the hall

Li Yuanji lowered his head to glance at the meal that Chen Shanyi had brought.

Li Jiancheng immediately dispatched Wei Zheng to deal with him

Li Yuan looked at the pitiful appearance of Li Yuanheng, and his heart softened instantly. "Alright, alright, stop crying, I will add it back for you."

Li Yuanji waved his hand at her and asked, "What is your name?"

The guard immediately replied: "Yes, Your Highness"

Historically, Chen Shanyi died on the spot when his predecessor was dismembered and did not survive

Both individuals have peculiar temperaments and are quite stubborn

How could he possibly know that the household registration was revoked, leading to a decrease in income and consequently less food to eat

Chen Shanyi seemed to have cried, and her eyes were slightly red

Li Yuanheng is only three years old and does not yet understand the world; how could he possibly know what a fief is

Go, decree the appointment of Chen as the virtuous Lady of Charity and Kindness!

Therefore, we can only ask the Princess Qi to take action

Li Yuan is feeling overwhelmed.

The maid stammered a bit and said: "I... I am called Ajiu."

Li Yuanji smiled and instructed, "Go fetch me a puppy from the residence."

However, it is not appropriate for Li Yuanji to personally intervene in such matters. He should send others from the residence, but who knows whether that person is loyal or treacherous, and whether they will return with a group of traitors.

Li Yuanji also conveyed to Li Yuan through his actions that Li Yuan was somewhat ungrateful

Li Yuanji waved his hand, signaling the guards to withdraw

Li Yuan had an abundance left, and the remainder was freely used by his sons

King Feng Li Yuanheng clung to Li Yuan's leg, wailing incessantly, "Father, Father, the child has no food to eat..."

Li Yuanji waved his hand and did not speak further

The guard outside the hall immediately appeared inside the hall, kneeling on one knee

Li Yuanji took the puppy, and as soon as the maid left, he immediately divided some of the food on the plate and fed it to the little dog

Uncle Xie paused for a moment, but still walked up close to Li Yuanji

Although she was forcibly taken by Li Shimin in history, she remained the Princess of Qi until her death

Li Yuanheng heard the words 'add it back', which seemed to be similar to what he had explained to his mother. In an instant, he stopped crying

Life is but a single thread, and this place is a palace that devours people without leaving a bone behind

Wei Zheng, with a tearful face, said: "What is Li Biaoqi doing? In terms of age, I am a whole generation younger than you; in terms of official rank, I am also lower than you. You are showing me respect, how can I possibly accept that?"

Uncle Xie hesitated for a moment and chuckled, "That is indeed the case..."

During this period, there were no vegetable greenhouses, and in winter, the only ones who could eat green vegetables were probably the royal family

Li Yuan picked up Li Yuanheng and said helplessly

Why is there no one available to assist at www.hetushu.com?

Li Yuanheng paid no heed to what Li Yuan said, as he lay in Li Yuan's embrace, both crying and throwing a tantrum

The maid was momentarily taken aback, but immediately responded affirmatively and left.

Now it was Li Yuanji's turn to be stunned

Li Yuan was not too strict with his sons, and he even showed a bit of favoritism. When his sons made mistakes, if the errors were not too serious, he would just scold them. If the mistakes were significant, he would demote them in rank and title, but before long, he would restore their titles again.

Li Yuanji not only wanted to dismiss the female officials and subordinate officials in the residence, but also wished to replace the palace servants in the household

Upon hearing Liu Jun say that as soon as he left, Li Yuanji immediately confined himself in the Wude Hall, and set the sentence based on Chen Shanyi's feelings, Li Yuan felt both ashamed and angry

The reason is simple, it is just a plate of vegetables

A maidservant walked in from outside the hall

Li Yuan did not regard Chen Shanyi as a person, but Li Yuanji did regard Chen Shanyi as a person

There are those who go inside to choose companions without any concern

As Li Yuanji was hurrying to the palace, both inside and outside the palace, there was a considerable commotion occurring because of him

Although Chen Shanyi did not speak to him just now, the sparkle in his eyes has noticeably returned, and he appears more spirited.

Uncle Xie Shufang stared wide-eyed in astonishment and exclaimed, "This... this is not appropriate, right? If the sage finds out, he will surely punish His Highness."

The predecessor enjoyed hunting, so the residence kept quite a number of dogs

Fortunately, when Li Yuan lifted his house arrest, he strongly insisted on continuing the confinement

Liu Jun left the Ganlu Hall after.

After a moment of contemplation, Li Yuanji roughly understood, "Did Empress Chen overhear my conversation with Liu Shaojian?"

After all, the palace is not lacking in attendants

Wei Zheng was taken aback, as he dodged Li Sihang's greeting while hastily bowing to Li Sihang, saying, "This official has met with General Li."

Uncle Xie bowed respectfully and exited the hall

Li Yuanji has already confined himself to the Wude Hall, and Li Yuan truly cannot do anything to him

Li Sihang was studying a volume of the pre-Sui collection of books brought back from Luoyang by Li Shimin at his residence. Just as he had made a little progress in his research, Xie Shufang came to his door to convey the orders of Li Yuanji

Li Yuanji opened his mouth, unsure of what to say.

Uncle Xie bowed respectfully, preparing to carry out Li Yuanji's orders

Li Yuanji waved his hand and said, "Come closer and listen."

Upon arriving at the Eastern Palace and stating his intentions, it became clear to the Eastern Palace that he was not a visitor with good intentions

Wei Zheng hurriedly said: "How did this come about?"

He does not insist that Chen Shanyi immediately return to the way things were; as long as he can gradually recover, that is sufficient

As soon as they met, Li Sihang immediately gave Wei Zheng a show of strength

After having eaten and drunk to his satisfaction, Li Yuanji hesitated for a moment and then hurried to the sleeping quarters while holding the puppy.

It is merely Wei Zheng's stubbornness that is resolute, while Li Sihang's stubbornness is peculiar

Immediately, he took his collection of research books and hurried to the Eastern Palace

It can be said that Li Yuanji taught Li Yuan a lesson

However, it is precisely for this reason that he is concerned that Chen Shanyi may turn to darkness after experiencing the rebellious actions of his adopted son

It is quite easy to find a puppy

Upon the appearance of Wei Zheng, Li Sixing immediately stepped forward to pay his respects, saying, "I have met with Wei Xima."

For instance, a certain individual surnamed Li and named Shimin recently sent someone to Yeting Palace to bring back the widow of Wang Xuanying, the son of Wang Shichong, named Wei Nizi

Li Sihang is not particularly fond of Li Yuanji, but he is ultimately an official of the Qi Wangfu. With the order from the Qi Wang, he has no choice but to comply

A plate of green vegetables, a plate of boiled lean meat, and a plate of soft, strip-shaped noodles; specifically what they are, Li Yuanji had never seen before

Li Yuan was comforting the weeping Prince Feng, Li Yuanheng, while listening to Liu Jun report on his observations in the main hall of the Wude Palace

Liu Jun is a trusted confidant of Li Yuan, and he understands Li Yuan's thoughts very well, so he knows exactly how to convey messages to the officials of the Central Secretariat

Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin each placed their own people in his residence. The female officials and subordinate officials have already been identified, but it remains unknown whether there are any among the palace attendants, how many there are, and who they might be

Li Yuanji whispered: "Go find me a group of people..."

Li Yuanji waited for a full duration equivalent to two incense sticks until he confirmed that the puppy was safe, before he began to eat the items sent by Chen Shanyi

Although his conversation with Liu Jun this morning was able to alleviate some of Chen Shanyi's grievances, he still decided to exercise caution

Not long after, I returned to the hall holding a small yellow dog

Wei Zheng faced off against Li Sihang, and it was not easy to contend with his straightforward demeanor, as Li Sihang would surely bring about his downfall

Without waiting for Li Ji to speak, Chen Shanyi quietly entered the hall, holding a square redwood tray with great care

... ...

The guard was taken aback for a moment, but immediately understood what Li Yuanji was asking. He hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, no one in the residence has bullied Lady Chen. Since yesterday evening until now, Lady Chen has been wandering outside the palace and has not seen anyone else."

Li Yuan has managed to deal with Li Yuanheng, but it is not so easy to handle Li Sixing from the Eastern Palace, Li Jiancheng.

After Xie Shufang exited, Li Yuanji suddenly felt a bit hungry, only then realizing that he had not eaten anything from yesterday until now

After finishing, they were placed on the ground by Li Yuanji and joyfully ran around him

Li Yuanji whispered something to Uncle Xie Fang

It is currently the winter month, which corresponds to the eleventh month of the lunar calendar. During this cold period, it is not easy to have access to fresh vegetables

Ganlu Hall

Although the puppy usually eats well, it still cannot compare to the meals of a prince, and it immediately began to chew with a wagging tail, showing no restraint

Here!

Wei Zheng and Li Sixing have very similar physiques; both are quite slender and sport goatees
