The proposal was rejected again, and he was hung up and whipped.
Li Yuanzhao walked out of the imperial study room feeling lost.
If I had known this, I should have put something in advance. I was unfamiliar with the business, but I didn't expect that my father would launch a sneak attack.
At this time, he was in no mood and had no intention of going to Banshanfang anymore, so he went straight back to the East Palace.
Back in Ciqing Palace, Li Yuanzhao felt upset for no reason.
He waved his hand and drove away the eunuch and the maid, leaving only Liu Jin waiting by his side.
Sitting like this, my eyes were straight and I didn't know what to do.
It was until noon.
Upon seeing this, Liu Jin leaned over and asked, "Are you hungry, Your Highness? I will prepare some food for you, please?"
Li Yuanzhao shook his head and sighed: "No, I have no appetite."
"Oh, it turned out that Lao Fang felt that I had endless things to do in my day. Now that he is gone, I don't know what to do."
Liu Jin's eyes lit up: "Your Highness, are you lonely and bored? Then I will help you get some tigers and leopards to relieve your pain..."
"Shut up! It's useless! Can't you do something new besides attracting cats and dogs?"
Li Yuanzhao had a look of hatred on his face, and now he was out of vulgar taste.
What fun are there with just two or three kittens?
Liu Jin laughed twice and said, "Whatever your Highness wants to play, I can accompany you."
"Can you file a newspaper?"
"Can you provide disaster relief?"
"Can you recite poetry?"
Li Yuanzhao looked at Liu Jin with disdain.
Liu Jin's expression froze and he was speechless.
Li Yuanzhao waved his hand when he saw this: "That's all! I'm sorry you don't know how to swing that broken magnifying glass in front of me!"
"Go and find me some books to read. Lao Fang often asks me to read books. Now that I have nothing to do, let's read them!"
With a look of understanding on his face, Liu Jin twisted his butt and went to get the book. After a while, he came back with a pile of books.
He placed the books in front of Li Yuanzhao's case and spread them out one by one.
"Wives and Concubines Like Clouds", "Xiaoyao Sanxian", "Golden Scales"...
Li Yuanzhao's face gradually darkened, he glanced at Liu Jin expressionlessly, and then violently overturned the desk in front of him!
All kinds of indescribable books were scattered all over the place.
Before Liu Jin could recover, he heard Li Yuanzhao yell angrily: "You idiot! Can't you see that I'm not in the mood right now! Is this what I want to see!"
"Oh, it's really useless!"
"Forget it! Clean up the floor! Stop reading and bring me the newspapers!"
Liu Jincheng knelt on the ground in fear and began to collect the scattered books.
But I kept complaining in my heart, didn't I watch it every day before... Now I have to pretend to be serious... Alas!
After cleaning up, Liu Jin turned around and went to get the newspaper.
Since the establishment of the newspaper office, Li Yuanzhao has developed a habit of keeping a copy of the daily newspapers in the East Palace.
I don’t have any other ideas, the main reason is that the daily newspaper has its own name on it.
Sometimes I go back to the East Palace to take a look, and I feel particularly fulfilled.
When Liu Jin got the newspaper back, Li Yuanzhao sat in front of the case and began to read one by one.
Look at what's in the newspaper.
Sometimes he giggles, sometimes he frowns.
Liu Jin stood aside, took the time to glance sideways, and picked up his clothes to wipe his magnifying glass if nothing happened.
The sky was getting dark, oil lamps were already lit on the table, and Liu Jin was busy lighting candles alone in the hall.
Li Yuanzhao finally finished reading all the newspapers.
He sighed in relief.
He murmured: "It must be Lao Fang...he is so brave..."
Then he asked Liu Jin: "Liu Banban, I want to ask you, if I report something to my father many times but don't agree, what should I do next?"
Liu Jin stopped what he was doing and said seriously: "Then His Majesty must have his plan."
"Then I have to do it?"
"This... this slave doesn't know!" Liu Jin put on a bitter face, "Don't ask me about this?"
How can I, a eunuch, understand and dare to speak?
Li Yuanzhao raised his eyebrows: "You dare not say it? Okay! Then I will ask you again, what will I do if I don't agree to the memorial to my father?"
Liu Jin looked troubled.
Stop asking...don't ask...I can't afford to offend anyone!
Seeing that he was silent, Li Yuanzhao stared at him with stern eyes: "Speak! Tell me the truth! If you dare to speak nonsense, I will smash your magnifying glass!"
Liu Jin trembled all over and said in despair: "Then if His Majesty doesn't agree, there is nothing anyone can do!"
"Master Fang is always with you, and I don't know what he will do! Your Highness, this servant really doesn't understand!"
"Okay, you go down!" Li Yuanzhao chased Liu Jin away.
At this time, he was the only one sitting in the hall.
Although many candles were lit, the hall still seemed dark and silent.
Li Yuanzhao thought hard.
If it were Lao Fang...what would he do?
Keep playing like me? No, he definitely won’t!
Lao Fang has been in court for such a long time and usually doesn't speak a word. When he does speak, he only reports good news and not bad news. When his father sees him, he smiles stupidly.
On weekdays, he would do things first and then talk about it... and never reported it to his father.
The same goes for something as big as a newspaper...
After thinking hard for a long time, a flash of understanding flashed in Li Yuanzhao's eyes, and he shouted: "Liu Banban! Liu Banban! Where did he die! Get over here!"
Liu Jin stood guard at the door and ran in in a panic.
Li Yuanzhao smiled: "Eunuch Guo is your godfather?"
Liu Jin was a little at a loss and said hesitantly: "Yes..."
"Is Shangbao Prison under his control? Is he in Shangbao Prison at this time?"
Liu Jin still nodded with a confused expression.
Li Yuanzhao smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, go and find me two reliable guards. Don't make it public. If others find out, I will castrate you again!"
"Understood! I'll go now, slave!" Liu Jin didn't ask any more questions, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and ran out.
His Highness is so out of character today, feeling a little moody, so whatever he says will be what he says!
Not long after, Liu Jin came with two guards.
As soon as Li Yuanzhao saw the people coming, he said directly: "You three, come with me, and don't talk on the way!"
After saying that, without waiting for the three people to react, he walked straight out.
It was already dark outside at this time, and the palace guards on night patrol were already inspecting the palace.
Li Yuanzhao led the three of them to Shang Baojian in a hurry. Someone asked about it on the way, but when he saw that it was the prince, he stopped talking.
Arriving at Shangbao Prison smoothly, Li Yuanzhao ordered the three of them to wait outside the hall, and one person entered with long strides.
When he arrived at the palace, a eunuch greeted him. Li Yuanzhao didn't say much. After asking Guo Tianyang's location, he went to look for it by himself.
When Guo Tianyang saw that Li Yuanzhao was coming, he immediately put on a smile and said, "Hey, Your Highness, why are you here at this hour?"
