"Li Du is in trouble, don't you have anything else to add?" Jinyi Baihu asked.
Li Qing shook his head: "Didn't I tell you? They came to kill me, but I killed them in return."
"Ahem, that's it." Jinyi Baihu tried hard to make amends, "I'll analyze the case and see if it's right."
He put his chin on his hand, his eyes full of wisdom, "It must have been like this last night. They attacked you first, and you resisted. It was all in the dark, and you couldn't see the specific situation clearly..."
"You can see clearly, I hung a lantern." Li Qing said.
Jinyi Baihu: "..."
He looked up and saw that there were indeed lanterns hanging under the eaves. He waved his hand and said, "You two, take down that lantern for me."
"Yes." The two royal guards stepped forward to fold the arhat and took down the lantern.
Baihu did the Conan pose again, "There is no lantern now. I will continue to analyze it. Do you think it is correct?"
"That's it. You didn't hang up a lantern and couldn't see clearly. Facing the menacing group of people, you were extremely frightened." Jin Yi Baihu racked his brains to make up for it, "So you went to the stove to get a knife and waved it around randomly. Trying to scare them off was just for self-protection and not for killing anyone;
Unexpectedly, the situation was chaotic and when those people were pushing each other, two people unfortunately hit their necks on your kitchen knife and died. "
The Jinyi Baihu looked at Li Qing expectantly, "That's it, right?"
Come on, say it right, come on, say it right... Baihu stared at Li Qing, he couldn't stop editing.
"Uh...yes." Li Qing nodded: "I was very scared at the time, and then..."
"Then these two men hit you with swords." Jinyi Baihu quickly added.
"Ah, yes, yes." Li Qing nodded repeatedly. Although he was fearless, he would not be able to get off the stage if he was given such a step.
"Huh~" Baihu let out a long sigh of relief, turned around and said to his subordinates: "Did you hear everything clearly?"
The two Jin Yiwei immediately praised him: "Listen clearly, someone broke into Mr. Li's house at night to cause trouble. Two people bumped into Mr. Li's knife and died."
"The black light is blinding the fire, the black light is blinding the fire, don't miss it." Baihu added.
Two people: "Ah, yes, yes, it happened in the dark."
"Okay, case closed!"
"Yes, sir."
A Jinyi guard took out a pen and paper from his arms, another Jinyi guard took out an inkstone and ink pad, Jinyi Baihu took a pen and dipped it in ink, and finished writing the confession three times, five times and two times.
"Li Du, please take a look at the matter. If you have no objections, please sign and deposit it."
Li Qing took it, and his confession was concise and clear, with a total of more than fifty words.
He didn't waste any words, he signed and fingerprinted everything in one go.
The hundred households in brocade robes waved their hands: "Go back to the palace and return the order."
It was considerate to take the two corpses out as well.
Li Qing fetched water and washed himself, then moved the lounge chair under the shade of a tree and picked up a copy of "The Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to pass the boring time.
After this time, there are two situations that will most likely occur.
1: The ministers became more malicious towards him, and the incident of forcing him into the palace escalated.
2: The officials swallowed their anger, stopped holding on to him, and allowed him to relax.
Li Qing didn't know what kind of situation would happen, but one thing was certain, there would never be any more trouble coming to him in the future.
Unless they want to die!
Judging from their performance last night, it was obvious that they did not want to die.
Li Qing stretched himself comfortably and said to himself: "There is no big deal right now. Shen Xin is very business savvy, and with the support of Xiaoliuzi and the others, it is almost inevitable that it will grow bigger and bigger, so I don't need to worry about it;
As for these people in the court... at most they are replicating the previous methods, and they are not considered a big trouble. "
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "The things that have been planned for a long time can be put on the agenda."
He has been coveting the "Yongle Dadian" for more than a day or two. He has been thinking about it since the day the Dadian was completed.
As the saying goes: If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves missing you.
If Zhu Laosi knew about Li Qing's concern, he didn't know if the coffin board could hold it down.
"The little emperor has no interest in the ceremony. In the years since he entered the court, he has never seen the ceremony. The two books on the imperial desk have fallen into dust. They are just decorations. Well, it is not difficult to get started..."
After thinking about it, Li Qing laughed.
There was no way, he wouldn't steal it if he could.
But who told it to be the "Yongle Dadian"? No matter how much Zhu Qizhen trusted him and relied on him, he would never give him the original copy.
Li Qing would not expect anything impossible.
It is better to seek help from others than to seek help from yourself, so he planned to do it himself.
As soon as he thought of it, Li Qing immediately wrote a secret letter and sent someone to Jinling to ask Zhu Yunwen to send back some grand ceremonies.
It's definitely not possible to steal directly. Over time, the secret will be exposed, so you have to change it. Use pirated copies for genuine ones.
In fact, the pirated content is the same, but the meaning and value are different.
The historical significance of the original is irreplaceable, and Li Qing did not want such a treasure to be lost in the long river of history.
…
Li Qing rested at home for half a month and found that after such a fuss, the civil service group became more honest, at least on the surface.
Go to court on time, go down to court on time, no more admonishment, no more forcing the palace.
On the surface, everything is calm.
On this day, Li Qing entered the palace and found Zhu Qizhen.
"Your Majesty, I have an unkind request."
"But it doesn't matter." Zhu Qizhen said generously, "As long as I can do it, I won't refuse anything."
Hearing the last four words, Li Qing almost couldn't help but roll his eyes, "That's right, I am a person who loves reading and is good at reading..."
"Sir, you are too short of money to buy a book?" Zhu Qizhen asked.
"No, I want to go to Wenyuan Pavilion."
Zhu Qizhen was startled, "Sir, do you want to watch the Yongle Ceremony?"
Li Qing nodded.
"Hmm...Okay." Zhu Qizhen agreed after a moment of pondering. He didn't take the grand ceremony very seriously, "However, sir, you should be careful when reading through it. Don't damage the grand ceremony. It is a treasure left by Taizong. "
"It's natural." Li Qing agreed, "Then I'll go."
"Wait a minute." Zhu Qizhen stopped him and made a condition, "Come to court often in the future."
"This... okay." In order to steal the ceremony, Li Qing risked his life.

Wenyuan Pavilion,
The place where "Yongle Dadian" is treasured.
However, the place is extremely deserted, with only a few young eunuchs responsible for daily cleaning.
This is mainly the reason why Li Qing previously engaged in publishing and building a library to sell grand ceremonies.
In fact, the Yongle Dadian was widely disseminated and could not be called bad, but it was by no means hard to find.
At the beginning, the number of books authorized by the imperial court to be sold was countless. With the subsequent hand-copied works among the people, the number of books actually sold to the people was terrifying. óΠъ.oяＧ
However, most of them are used as collections and lose their original value.
The reason is very simple. The Grand Ceremony is too complicated for ordinary people to understand, and the content of the imperial examination is concentrated in limited books such as "Spring and Autumn" and "Great Learning".
Human energy is limited, so although "Yongle Dadian" has been widely disseminated, the dissemination of its content is very limited.
In the literary building, besides Li Qing, there were only a few young eunuchs.
Li Qing is now a popular figure in the palace, and almost everyone knows him. The few young eunuchs did not dare to offend him, but they just told him not to damage the book and stopped disturbing him.
Lee Sin has a lot of room to maneuver.
Li Qing's face was filled with joy as he looked at the beautiful text copied out by hand, stroke by stroke. Although the content was the same, the look and feel was much better.
…
In early October, Zhu Yunwen sent three large boxes of printed editions of the ceremony.
After Li Qing divided them into categories, he began to change them one by one.
The young eunuch was afraid of offending Li Qing and did not dare to search him. He just glanced at the bookshelf as a routine to make sure there were no shortage of books.
They never thought that Li Qing would steal books.
After all...who would steal from the palace?
Moreover, Taizong left a treasure.
The carelessness of the eunuchs provided an opportunity for Li Qing to steal the book.
It was cold and he wore thick clothes, which made Li Qing even more handy at stealing. Sometimes he could steal more than ten books in one go.
The sleeves, trouser legs, arms, crotch... all became spaces for him to steal books.
One book after another...
One trip in the morning and one in the afternoon, Li Qing had a great time stealing.
Time passes quickly, and we enter the twelfth lunar month in the blink of an eye.
Li Qing had put all the printed books into Wenyuan Pavilion and stolen all the original copies.
Looking at the three large boxes full, Li Qing felt full of harvest.
However, the fakes were gone, and the secret would definitely be exposed if he tried to steal them. Li Qing had no choice but to suspend his plan to steal books and go to Jinling to buy some goods.
Qianqing Palace.
"What? Sir, are you going to take leave again and come back after the new year?" Zhu Qizhen suddenly became furious, "Are you worthy of your salary? Are you worthy..."
"Your Majesty, I am going to Jinling this time for the imperial court." Li Qing interrupted, his loyalty was beyond words.
"Are you going back to Jinling to celebrate the New Year?" Zhu Qizhen teased.
"No, I really do it for the imperial court." Li Qing denied it strongly and said seriously: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten about the seizure of the property of the wealthy gentry in Jinling? Then Shen Xin still owes the imperial court several million taels of silver."
"Oh? Oh!" Zhu Qizhen turned from anger to joy, "Okay then, you go and get the money back from me."
"What about my request for leave...?"
"I agree!" Zhu Qizhen also loves money.
