Looking at Concubine Wei's pitiful complaints, His Majesty Li Er really had a headache.
If she complained arrogantly, she could find any reason to delay it, but this Concubine Wei is very cunning!
It seemed that all the initiative was given to him, the emperor, but it also made it more difficult for His Majesty Li Er.
If you don't pay attention to it, you will definitely get the title of being unsympathetic and ungrateful. After all, the two of them are a couple sleeping in the same bed.
If Yang Fan were to be severely punished, His Majesty Li Er would really be reluctant to do so.
Of course, it's not only because of Yang Fan's ability, but also because of the ease in his heart.
Since getting to know Yang Fan, His Majesty Li Er does not deny that he thinks highly of Yang Fan and likes Yang Fan's casual style.
Among the groveling and groveling compliments of the civil and military officials in the court, how could Li Er not cherish such a young man who was not so afraid of him?
What's more important is that such a rebellious boy, when facing himself, his usual words and deeds are all about sincere admiration for the great achievements of his emperor.
Compared with other people's compliments, this is really something that makes Li Er feel more comfortable.
You know, in Yang Fan's eyes, he is not an emperor with the power of life and death.
Rather, he is an admirable friend and elder. This way of getting along makes His Majesty Li Er very comfortable.
Therefore, whenever Yang Fan annoys him or gets into trouble, His Majesty Li Er will scold and kick Yang Fan regardless of etiquette.
Yang Fan's unpretentiousness made His Majesty Li Er feel very close to him...
Because at this time, Li Er did not need to care about the dignity and etiquette of the monarchs and ministers, let alone deliberately maintain the majesty of the emperor. This was something that His Majesty Li Er could not feel from other people.
Even if that boy Yang Fan would retort or make some sarcastic remarks, His Majesty Li Er could endure it again and again, even shamelessly giving his daughter to him.
Although he wanted to tie Yang Fan to his royal chariot, he didn't want to express his closeness.
In this era, marriage is the best way to express closeness.
If another person had dared to propose marrying the princess instead of Princess Shang, he might have been chopped into pieces by Li Er.
But, then again!
Although His Majesty Li Er likes Yang Fan's casualness very much, he also wants to show his closeness.
But many times it gives me a headache, because this bastard Yang Fan is really capable of making trouble and getting into trouble!
Personally speaking, these behaviors of Yang Fan are not a big problem.
But as the emperor, His Majesty Li Er must consider the whole situation.
Don't let your own preferences or preferences affect your judgment.
Because this will give other people the illusion that he, the emperor, is doing things unfairly, thereby destroying the balance in the court.
Therefore, people like Yang Fan who are lawless and make enemies everywhere must be reprimanded.
Thinking of this, Li Er sighed and said helplessly: "Okay, I have already considered this matter in my heart. I will definitely beat that boy Yang Fan up and give you Webster an explanation."
"But why did your nephew mess with that guy for no reason?"
"That boy is famous for his mallet. He even dares to hit my emperor. How can he be afraid of your Wei family?"
"I'm not deliberately biased. Your nephew is not doing his job all day long. It may not be a good thing to suffer a little loss this time. Every time you suffer, you will gain wisdom!"
"It is said that your nephew is not seriously injured, so don't pay too much attention to this matter..."
"In this way, I let your nephew go to the Chongxian Pavilion for some training, which can be regarded as compensation for him..."
These words made Concubine Wei feel so aggrieved that she wanted to cry.
After beating Yang Fan violently, did that kid get enough beatings?
Besides, although my nephew was not seriously injured!
But this is not a question of whether the injury is serious or not, but Yang Fan's unwillingness to let him kowtow, which makes Wei Shi lose face. This is the main thing.
Although Li Er meant to compensate his nephew for entering the Chongxian Hall, it was considered a compromise, but compared with the family's honor, it seemed too small.
In any case, His Majesty Li Er just wanted Wei to suffer the consequences and endure it.
Although she felt very unhappy, Concubine Wei really did not dare to cry and support her family in front of His Majesty Li Er.
Even if you are a noble concubine, it is a custom that you must respect when you marry and obey your husband.
What's more, Concubine Wei also knew that His Majesty Li Er didn't have much favor for her, and she was not considered favored in His Majesty Li Er's palace.
Although she is a first-class noble concubine, she is only one level lower than the empress. Her status seems to be very high, but her presence is very low.
What's more, not all matters in the harem are based on status, the emperor's favor is the most important.
Concubine Wei knows that there are many people who are more favored than her...
Therefore, even if she came to complain to His Majesty Li Er, Concubine Wei did not dare to speak out directly, but instead stated her grievances in a roundabout way.
Although I felt very sad, I also knew His Majesty Li Er's character and temper.
Once a decision is made, the emperor is sure of his word...
Therefore, no matter how aggrieved she felt, Concubine Wei did not dare to do anything disobedient, and could only say sadly: "Thank you for your grace, I will convey your Majesty's wishes to my brother and the others."
"Of course, I came here this time not because I am proud of myself and hope that Your Majesty will punish Marquis Zhongyi."
"But I hope that your majesty will issue an imperial edict to explain that all the causes were caused by Monk Hua, and our Wei family is also a victim..."
"In addition, Yang Fan has always been lawless. Who knows if he will use this incident as an excuse to do something bold again and deliberately make things difficult for the Wei family?"
"In the whole world, only His Majesty's decree can keep Marquis Zhongyi from being aggressive, otherwise I will really worry about the Wei family..."
What he said was sincere, every word was sad and every word was aggrieved.
But His Majesty Li Er has made it clear that he will not pursue Yang Fan's responsibility too much, so of course Wei Guifei can only do the next best thing.
Of course, there is still a sense of grievance in these words.
This means that:
Webster never wanted to conflict with Yang Fan, but he could not guarantee that Yang Fan would not attack the Wei family again.
In any case, the Wei family is still a relative of the emperor. What should we do if we are bullied by that guy Yang Fan again?
Do you, the emperor, want to give you a guarantee...
Hearing this, His Majesty Li Er was silent and a little unhappy.
Although that boy Yang Fan is indeed lawless, Li Er also knows that that bastard always does not offend others unless others offend him.
Only when provoked or attacked will they fight back by any means or regardless of the consequences.
It seems that Wei Ansi's behavior made Yang Fan unhappy, which is why he behaved like this.
Concubine Wei kept saying that she was not filing a complaint to punish Yang Fan, but instead described the Wei family as weak. What was this other than a complaint?
It’s just that the method is much smarter than a straightforward complaint!
If he really issued an imperial edict and put all the mistakes on Bian Ji, the Wei family would not be at fault at all.
Doesn't it confirm Yang Fan's lawless and domineering behavior? After all, even the emperor's relatives are being bullied wantonly, so why not kill Yang Fan with the imperial envoy?
What's more, handling it this way will offend the entire Buddhist sect.
Originally, he wanted to use the debate to reach an agreement with Buddhism and reorganize the Buddhist temple. Of course, Li Er would not offend Buddhism to death.
The most important thing is that Li Er knows that the most important thing now is to implement the reform of the imperial examination, and it is impossible for Yang Fan to tarnish his reputation.
The Wei family has indeed been wronged in this matter, so there is nothing they can do about it, they can only live with it!
Anyway, I usually suffer a lot of grievances from your aristocratic families, so why can’t you also suffer it once?
This time you met Yang Fan, who you can't afford to offend. If it had been anyone else, they would have been beaten to death by the Wei family.
In any case, Li Er also had to take Concubine Wei's face into consideration: "The imperial edict is an important weapon of the country, how can it be said so easily?"
"However, I also know my beloved concubine's worries. Webster doesn't need to make a fuss about it. I will just give Yang Fan a warning."
"Looking back, you should also keep an eye on the people of the Wei family, especially Wei Ansi. I gave him the opportunity to study at Chong Xianguan, and stop sitting around doing nothing all day long."
"As a man, you should have a broad mind and do something to make my aunt like you look good, right?"
"My concubine will definitely convey this expectation." Speaking of this, Concubine Wei had no choice but to respond with gratitude.
Although I feel unwilling to do so, I can only let go of my worries.
She was really afraid that this bastard Yang Fan had been targeting the Wei family.
After all, he dared to hit the prince with a stick and even cripple the heir of Duke Bao. What else could he not dare to do?
Even the Duke of Bao, Duan Zhixuan, did not dare to retaliate lightly. Although the Wei family was stronger, what could they do?
At the same time, Concubine Wei finally understood Yang Fan's position in the eyes of His Majesty Li Er.
It was definitely not just Yang Fan who was flattering, as was rumored, or it was the future consort that made Li Er look at him differently!
His Majesty the Emperor really values Yang Fan!
In fact, Concubine Wei's visit this time is more of a test than a complaint.
As long as His Majesty Li Er lets go, Yang Fan will definitely be attacked by the Wei family with all their strength.
Now Li Er's attitude says everything. In this case, Concubine Wei will of course persuade the Wei family to adjust their strategy towards Yang Fan.
After all, that bastard has not yet lost his crown, yet he is so trusted by the emperor. How can he be a simple person?
Your Majesty is a promising king today. If you value a person so highly, there is certainly something extraordinary about him.
During His Majesty's lifetime, as long as Yang Fan does not commit any treasonous acts, no one can stop him.
What's more, the eighteen-year-old Minister of Rites, a dignified third-rank official, has been seen at all times and in all over the world, but rarely appears.
Although Gan Luo, who was prime minister at the age of twelve in ancient times, can be compared with him, Gan Luo was a short-lived ghost after all, and he was also a powerless prime minister.
Thinking of this, Concubine Wei left sadly.
Although Yang Fan could not be punished, he learned about His Majesty Li Er's attitude, which was an unexpected gain.
Yang Fan is so favored that he will definitely become the mainstay of the imperial court in the future. It would be best if he can avoid making enemies.
Of course, if we can change the relationship between the Wei family and the Zhongyi Hou Mansion without fighting or acquaintance, it will be like a tiger flying in the sky.
I just hope that my mother-in-law’s family will not continue to have bad relations with Yang Fan because of her nephew’s humiliation.
Otherwise that would be simply stupid!
Although my nephew may suffer some injustice, what is personal honor and disgrace compared to the future of the family?
After Concubine Wei left, His Majesty Li Er finally felt relieved.
At least this matter was suppressed on the surface. Even if Webster refused to accept it, some small actions could only be carried out in the dark.
After a while, His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and told Wang Huangui who was waiting aside: "You and Li Junxian go to the Zhongyi Hou Mansion immediately and summon Yang Fan into the palace. There must be no mistake!"
Wang Huangui asked hesitantly: "It's getting late now. What if Marquis Zhongyi refuses?"
His Majesty Li Er was slightly stunned!
Thinking that it was possible with Yang Fan's bastard temperament, he immediately became furious.
Doesn't this mean that the emperor's orders are just nonsense?
So he slapped the case and shouted: "If that guy dares to resist, tie him up directly. I will let him know what Jun Wu Xiyan is."
"promise!"
Unexpectedly, Wang Huangui's words made Li Erxia furious, so he didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly turned around and left.
But I was suspicious in my heart. I wonder why Your Majesty summoned Yang Fan to the palace in the middle of the night?
Even when the Turks invaded, His Majesty was not so anxious.
…
When Yang Fan came to Ganlu Hall, he was still a little uneasy.
Of course, he was not afraid of today's conflict, but he was afraid that His Majesty Li Er would discover the absurdity last night.
It's a pity that he didn't dare to resist!
After all, Li Junxian led a large team of people to block the door of the mansion, and he would never dare to evade it.
After entering the palace, Yang Fan looked at His Majesty Li Er cautiously and asked softly: "Your Majesty, I wonder what the important matter is for summoning the minister to the palace late at night?"
It is impossible for the conflict in the afternoon to make His Majesty Li Er so anxious.
Yang Fan really couldn't think of anything that Li Er had to call him to discuss in the middle of the night.
Could it be that some foreign tribe raised troops to invade the pass?
Every time there is heavy snowfall, those guys like to come to the Central Plains to snatch food.
It doesn’t make sense!
Tubo had just been wiped out, who dared to touch the Tang army?
Besides, if it is a military matter, then it should be discussed with Li Jing, Li Ji, Fang Xuanling... these ministers. Where can I find him, the Minister of Rites, to participate.
Unable to figure out the reason, Yang Fan could only stand motionless, not daring to speak.
Yang Fan still knows this truth.
Seeing the disobedient and motionless Yang Fan below, His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but feel angry.
This kid is becoming more and more lawless, and he even gets stunned in front of his own emperor.
With a cold snort, Li Er asked: "You are so majestic, you actually dare to beat up a Buddhist monk in the street... If I give you a pair of wings, will you have to fly into the sky?"
"I don't dare!" Yang Fan replied quickly with a low eyebrow.
His Majesty Li Er obviously didn't want to let Yang Fan go so easily, and continued with a sullen face: "Haha, don't you dare? I think you are very brave. Even relatives of the emperor have to kowtow and kneel to you. Will you be the royal family next time?
Do I also want to kowtow to you?"
"I made a mistake, Your Majesty. Please forgive me." Yang Fan was depressed and quickly surrendered.
But I muttered in my heart that this was not a good thing to say. This guy Li Er was obviously looking for trouble.
His Majesty Li Er said mockingly: "Oh? You are a talented young man with literary talent and a pillar of the imperial court. The inheritance of the Tang Dynasty will be entrusted to you. People like you will also
Made a mistake?"
Yang Fan secretly wiped his sweat and moved his lips a few times, but he didn't know what to say.
What else can be said?
The other party was the emperor, and there was obviously something in his words.
