What's happening here?
Why did Your Majesty leave the palace?
And it's still here?
Seeing who was sitting in the pavilion, several questions suddenly flashed in Li Wan's mind.
But what he is more concerned about now is His Majesty's safety.
Li Wan looked around and saw no guards guarding the area.
Li Wan couldn't help frowning and turned to look at Liu Zhong beside him.
He asked hurriedly: "Wife Liu, why is Your Majesty here? It's not safe outside the palace. Does Your Majesty have any guards with you?"
Liu Zhong knew why Mr. Li asked such a question, but he didn't say much.
He said with a smile on his face: "My lord, this is hard for this slave. How can a slave know what your majesty is thinking. If your lord wants to know, just go in. As for the guards -"
Liu Zhong pointed to the woods in the distance, "Commander Zhi Jinwu Wei and the Imperial Guard Commander are here."
Li Wan followed Liu Zhong's direction and saw no one, but since those two people were there, he felt relieved.
Then he walked into the pavilion and said, "The guilty minister Li Wan pays homage to Your Majesty."
When Li Wan entered, Chen Jue in the pavilion was playing chess with himself with chess pieces.
Which side wins or loses depends entirely on one's own will.
Chen Jue found it meaningless when it happened like this.
Hearing Li Wan's arrival, she hurriedly greeted him, "Hurry, hurry, hurry. Li Qing is here just in time. Let's play a game of chess with me."
While he was talking, Liu Zhong had already gone up to collect the black and white chess pieces and put them into the left and right boxes.
"yes!"
Although Li Wan wondered whether His Majesty called her here just to play chess, she didn't ask and sat down opposite Chen Jue after answering.
In the game of black and white, Chen Jue asked Li Wan to hold the black chess while he played the white chess.
For Chen Jue, it is not that he has not been exposed to Go in modern times.
Li Wanyi remembers that one year, her younger sister became obsessed with Go after watching a TV series about it.
Obsessed to the point of going crazy.
I found a Go chess set left by my grandfather at home and insisted on playing chess with him every day.
He also has a good reputation: "Gentlemen in ancient times all learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting. My brother cannot lose to the ancients."
So at that time, under the daily pressure from his sister, he began to learn Go.
But she is just like a bad chess player, unable to learn no matter how hard she plays, and she is addicted to chess.
Randomly, if she won, she would immediately burst into tears and cry, "How can you beat me! As a brother, can't you let me, a little girl like me?"
What you say is very reasonable!
"..."
Chen Jue was quite speechless. If she hadn't been his sister, he would have turned around and left.
well!
Thinking of his sister, Chen Jue felt a little sad. He didn't know how she was doing there alone.
Forget it, it’s useless to think too much, you still have to concentrate on playing chess.
Especially someone as good at chess as Li Wan.
Although Chen Jue's chess skills are good, he is still slightly weaker than those from ancient aristocratic families who have been playing chess since elementary school.
In just half a stick of incense, Chen Jue lost.
"Li Qing's chess skills are indeed good!" Chen Jue put down the chess pieces in his hands and praised them as he looked at the chess game that was full of winners and losers.
Li Wan had won His Majesty's chess game, and she was already very upset.
Now when I heard this, I felt even more uneasy.
He quickly stood up and apologized, "I don't dare to -"
Before he finished speaking, Chen Jue stopped him, "Li Qing, there's no need to be modest, your chess skills are really good."
With that said, Chen Jue praised him again.
Hearing no sound, Chen Jue raised his head and glanced at Li Wan opposite him. Seeing how frightened and fearful he was, Chen Jue was inexplicably funny.
Is he so scary?
Chen Jue felt that he had shown himself to be very approachable, but he didn't expect that Li Wan would be so afraid of him!
Chen Jue shook his head and sighed. With a smile on his face, he pointed to the stone stool opposite and said to Li Wan: "This is not in the palace, nor in Luojing City. Li Qing doesn't have to be so sincere and frightened, just treat me as a gift to you." Just your friends”
Li Wan didn't dare, but Chen Jue said so, so he could only sit on the stool again.
Seeing His Majesty personally pouring tea for him, Li Wan didn't dare to neglect, quickly took the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.
As for what kind of tea it was and whether it tasted good or not, forgive him for drinking it too quickly. He really didn't drink it.
Seeing Li Wan like this, Chen Jue was also a little helpless.
That’s it, that’s it!
The chess was played, the tea was drunk, and it was time to get down to business.
Chen Jue glanced at Liu Zhong, who immediately understood and turned around to place a small wooden box in front of Li Wan.
Li Wan looked at the small box in front of her and didn't understand what it meant. She looked at Liu Zhong in confusion.
However, after Liu Zhong put down the box, he had the foresight to retreat outside the pavilion.
He had no choice but to look at His Majesty, "Your Majesty, what is this?"
"Open it and take a look."
Li Wan followed Chen Jue's words and had no choice but to open it, but after opening it, he was even more confused.
Inside the small box was an imperial edict and a white jade pendant with a dragon pattern. Li Wan had seen it before, and it was the one that His Majesty often wore.
Li Wan opened the imperial edict again. After reading the contents clearly, the doubts in his heart from meeting Liu Zhong at the foot of the mountain to now were finally answered.
"I learned that every county governor of Bozhou County dies mysteriously,"
He explained everything yesterday, "What happened yesterday was, firstly, to abolish the phase, and secondly, I sent Li Qing to Bozhou County to find out the matter."
Li Wan had long thought clearly that His Majesty wanted to abolish the phase, but suddenly being entrusted with an important task by His Majesty, she felt a little excited.
"My lord, I will live up to His Majesty's great trust!" Li Wan's hand holding the imperial edict trembled slightly, and she was about to kneel down.
"Get up. This is not in the palace. Besides, there is gold under the man's knees. Don't kneel down."
Chen Jue stood up and walked over to hold up his hand, stopping his movement.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Taking Chen Jue's hand for support, Li Wan straightened up and held the imperial edict steadily.
…
As the sun set in the west, Chen Jue returned to the city in a carriage and went to the Taifu Mansion again.
After chatting with Mrs. Wang for an hour, he left accompanied by Wang Shuyuan and asked Wang Shuyuan to take him around Luojing City.
Soon, messages such as "Your Majesty likes Wang's daughter very much" spread throughout the city.
The next day, Chen Jue invited Wang Shuyuan to visit the outskirts of Beijing.
On the third day, he sent many rewards to the Taifu Mansion, half of which were given to Wang Shuyuan.
fourth day
fifth day
…
Following Chen Jue's actions, the rumors intensified, and many courtiers in the court were very worried when they saw this.
If things continue like this, when Wang's daughter enters the palace, she will soon give birth to her eldest son, and then the eldest son will have their daughter's turn!
So everyone turned their attention to Wang's daughter, and many people began to look for evidence that Wang's daughter was unbearable.
However, the Wang daughter's words and deeds were decent and she had done nothing wrong. She was also the daughter of the Langya Wang family, so there was really no evidence.
Since they couldn't find it on the Wang family, they had no choice but to start with the Langya Wang family.
So in the Wenhua Hall, Chen Jue could see the memorial to impeach the Langya Wang family every day.
