Chapter 380
Lin Jingxing was hated and could not be truly calm. He interrupted Li Zhongming impatiently, "You should have heard of the prince's character even if you have never been together. I am the princess's biological brother. If you pass by rashly for you, he will drive me out without mercy. I am not afraid of embarrassment, but I am worried about you."
But it was just an excuse, Li Zhongming glanced at him angrily.
Lin Jingxing lowered his eyes and continued, "Sister knows the situation in your family, and may agree to go over and see you. But can you bear the anger behind King Jingyue?"
After pausing, he continued to sigh, "I can't convince the prince. As long as I get involved in this matter and the prince gets angry, I must not plead for mercy. Otherwise, not only will I not be able to help you, but I will add fuel to the fire."
It was Li Zhongming's turn to stop talking, it was related to the lives of his family. It would be strange if he was not in a hurry.
All the hopes of the Li family lie in Lin Qingqian. As long as Lin Qingqian is willing to go to the Li family, the Li family is willing to pay any price. It is just the anger of King Jingyue?
At most, King Jingyue lost the Li family's property and beat him up and vented his anger. But compared with his life, what is the property? Even if he is beaten, King Jingyue has to rely on the relationship between the Li family and Lin Qingqian and will not directly take his life.
Thinking of this, he knelt down for Lin Jingxing, "Second Young Master, I beg you. My father and children..."
"Child? What kind of child?" Lin Jingxing asked in surprise, "Where are you getting married? You even have children, so why don't you tell me. If you know, I have to send me a gift. Brother Li, you don't even want to tell us about such a big thing. Didn't you treat us as friends at all?"
Lin Jingxing's performance was remarkable. His stern face and angry look successfully dispelled the suspicion that surged in Li Zhongming's heart.
"This matter is not glorious." Li Zhongming's face turned red.
Lin Jingxing's face was still serious and unhappy. It seemed that Li Zhongming's few words were not painful and could not coax him.
Li Zhongming asked him for help but no longer cared about his face. The descendants of the Li family chose a last resort just in case. Of course, this part of the truth must not be truthfully poured out to Lin Jingxing. Li Zhongming explained half-truth and half-falsely, "They are just out of the outdoor room."
Lin Jingxing showed a look of shock. Li Zhongming took a peek at it, and the remaining suspicion completely dissipated. Looking at Lin Jingxing's expression, it didn't seem to be pretending. In other words, all the accidents that happened to the Li family were not Lin Jingxing.
This understanding somewhat comforted Li Zhongming's uneasy heart.
"Brother Li, it's your family matter, and I shouldn't have said too much. But as a friend, I still can't help but want to remind you that you are really confused. With your family background, why bother to have a child in the outdoor room? If you get married in the future, can your sister-in-law take this breath? The birth of a legitimate son will make his status even more awkward, and the reputation of the Li family will be affected." Lin Jingxing persuaded seriously.
Li Zhongming's face became even more embarrassed, and he quickly explained, "My father and I were plotted against others in business. I didn't want to marry such a woman, but they were pregnant, so I could only leave the child and arrange a place for them to live in. My father was so old that he was plotted against others, so he simply didn't give them the title of concubine."
"They?" Lin Jingxing was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.
Li Zhongming smiled bitterly, "Everyone says that one's mistakes will make one's wisdom. Who knows that the other party will drug us?"
After all, his face turned red and finally, under Lin Jingxing's smile, he turned a little darker again.
Lin Jingxing just deliberately said something to Li Zhongming, and he had no intention of really interfering in the Li family's affairs. After clicking, he didn't say much.
Li Zhongming was extremely hesitant, and finally saw that Lin Jingxing did not give up, so he had to reluctantly leave the Jingyue Palace.
At the same time, a big thing happened in the court. An official in Jingzhou reported it and found that there was a mine in the mountains. Originally, after reporting to King Chen Qing, Chen Qing would send someone to report to the court. After all, Jingzhou was the fief of King Chen Qing, and King Chen Qing would occupy a part of the taxes on the fief.
It was a coincidence that a concubine of the prince of Chen Qing's mansion relied on the prestige of the royal family to bully men and women outside, and then forced the people to sell grain and land, and then they bought the stockpiling at the lowest price. They found that the ore mountain was obtained by them who injured the villagers of a village by the mountainside. At that time, human lives were also killed.
The beaten person was dissatisfied and actually took advantage of the Chinese New Year to sneak out of Jingzhou to come to Beijing to file a lawsuit against the emperor.
After the officials learned about it, they did not care about King Chen Qing and could only report the matter as soon as possible to clear their responsibilities.
According to the law of Daqian, the fiefs of each vassal king are taxed, and the vassal kings can increase the score according to the comparison. However, the ore is the material of the state and no one is allowed to intercept it privately.
The matter was in trouble and a censor immediately participated in the book of King Chen Qing and sued him for indulging his relatives to violate the law.
Some people also argue that discovering the mine is a major event and that local officials cannot be allowed to make decisions. The court should send a suitable candidate to the local area for investigation, then register and send it back to the Ministry of Works, and then make a decision.
This move was approved by most officials, and the emperor finally ordered Ling Xiaoye and the third prince to thoroughly investigate the matter.
The prince was a little unhappy. Ores were really important to the court. Ling Xiaoye's bad temper was not a good thing, he would not favor anyone. But the third prince?
If the third prince accomplishes this, his prestige in the court will be further improved, but it is not a good sign for him, the prince.
To check whether there is any danger and to gain fame and fortune, the prince believed that his father gave such a good job to the third brother because he was inclined to the third brother.
The prince wanted to go, but the two imperial envoys who were actually named were not happy to go to Jingzhou.
"I am afraid." Ling Xiaoye pouted and defended, "Emperor, minerals are of great importance. Is it inappropriate to take this errand?"
The emperor glared at him, "Why do I think you can't bear to leave your new shop?"
Ling Xiaoye...
This was said to be thoughtful, and the ministers shook their heads when they saw it.
The third prince wanted to sigh even more. He knew that the prince was not good at politeness and the prince's face was not good. He probably had an opinion on his trip to Jingzhou. But what to do, he couldn't help himself...
"Emperor..." Ling Xiaoye wanted to try his best to persuade the emperor to take back Cheng's fate, but the emperor impatiently interrupted him and announced directly to the ministers.
"What do you think of King Jingyue?" The emperor suddenly changed his mind tossed.
Zhao Jingyun was traveling in space. He seemed to have no interest in anything that happened to the court.
"Ah?!" Zhao Jingyun came to his senses after being poked by Prince Li. He did not hear clearly what the emperor said, and a confused look appeared in his peach blossom eyes.
"What is King Jingyue thinking? So enchanting?" the emperor asked angrily.
"The emperor also knows that some trivial matters in my house are exhausted. I have been feeling a little unhealthy recently, so I hope the emperor will forgive me." Zhao Jingyun generously admitted that he was distracted.
The emperor was a little worried. He no longer liked Zhao Jingyun, nor did he want to see Zhao Jingyun distracted when he went to court. If it were someone else, the emperor would have punished him long ago, but the person involved was Zhao Jingyun, so the emperor really couldn't be willful. He held his breath and repeated the question again.
"Ling Xiaoye is also suitable. Although he is not smart enough, has awkward temperament, and is very willful, since the emperor likes him, he must have some means to do good things." Zhao Jingyun was playing past the ball and belittled Ling Xiaoye by the way.
Ling Xiaoye's face turned red with anger, "That's right, even if the prince is not smart enough, has awkward temperament, and is still willful, he can still complete the errand with the emperor's order. Unlike some people..."
Zhao Jingyun didn't want to listen to his long speech and directly interrupted him, "Since Prince Ling also thinks that the job is competent, then it's over. The emperor, my brother has trivial matters at home, can he go back to his house early?"
"I heard that Princess Jing is knowledgeable and has written poems and written calligraphy and calligraphy at the peak. I also want to find an opportunity to meet her." The emperor said shamelessly.
Everyone understood what was going on. The emperor probably wanted to get the calligraphy written by Princess Jing, but he was embarrassed to ask for it directly. As long as he took a different approach and found an excuse to get the calligraphy and paintings first.
Zhao Jingyun didn't even raise his eyelids, "I thank the emperor for his praise. If it were the usual, I would have asked the princess to write a few more words for the emperor to give it to him. However, the princess is in a bad state, so I can only talk about it another day. I have a few pictures in my hand, but they are the love given to me by the princess, and cannot be circulated outside."
Look, I even thought of excuses. I am really worthy of being the King of Jingyue, and the court officials sighed.
emperor.......
In the end, the emperor decided that the two people who were reluctant to go out still had to go to Jingzhou. As for calligraphy and painting, they had to leave nothing.
In this way, Zhao Jingyun was still unhappy. He felt that one or two were so idle that he was thinking about his wife.
When Zhao Jingyun returned home, he happened to see Li Zhongming walking out.
"The grass-roots have seen the prince." Li Zhongming saluted Zhao Jingyun in a proper manner.
Zhao Jingyun stared at Li Zhongming with disgust and looked up and down, and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
Lin Jingxing went up to the front and explained with a diligent explanation, "He is just here to reminisce about the past."
"You never lead outsiders into the mansion." Zhao Jingyun glared at Lin Jingxing unhappily.
Lin Jingxing immediately touched his nose and smiled, his expression was quite unnatural, "It's really just to reminisce about the past."
While he said, he secretly winked at Li Zhongming and signaled him to leave the mansion immediately.
When Li Zhongming saw Zhao Jingyun, his mind was alive again. He measured in his heart how much he would have to help if he told Zhao Jingyun the truth.
"My father was seriously ill, and Caomin came to seek medical treatment." He gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble.
Lin Jingxing felt unhappy immediately.
But Li Zhongming no longer cared about him.
"The princess can prescribe medicine for you, but do you Li's family dare to take it?" Zhao Jingyun sneered.
What does it mean? Li Zhongming's mind suddenly exploded.
