The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 366 Father and Son
When Zhao Yishi was about to arrive at Qianqing Palace, he saw the young chamberlain Zhang Ping huddled in the corner, looking around.

Zhang Ping had just turned sixteen this year. Because he was smart and knew a few words, he was chosen to serve the emperor.

Once a person is smart, he will inevitably arouse jealousy. Some people deliberately dug a hole for Zhang Ping to get into. It was Zhao Yishi's few words that saved his head from his neck.

Zhang Ping hurriedly stepped forward, and without enough time to salute, he whispered in Zhao Yishi's ear.

"While cleaning Eunuch Yan's residence in the afternoon, I found three old memorials from five years ago from the secret cabinet at the corner of the bed."

Zhao Yishi's expression suddenly changed.

Yan Ruxian once served as the chief eunuch of the ceremonial department, and all memorials had to pass his screening before they could be presented to the emperor's court.

"Who submitted the memorial? What does it say?"

"I can't find out about this. I only know that His Majesty saw it and immediately summoned Concubine Li. I heard that when Concubine Li left, there were still two lines of tears on her face. When she got back..."

It is so!

Zhao Yishi closed his eyes slightly.

Zhang Ping hurriedly said loudly: "Your Highness, the imperial doctor said that it is because of anger and heart attack. In addition, there was a heavy rain yesterday and there was some wind and cold. It is not serious. It will be fine after a few days of rest."

Zhao Yishi flicked his sleeves and strode up the stairs.

When they arrived at Nuange, in addition to several imperial doctors, Yuan Fei, the eunuch who was responsible for the ceremony, was also standing nearby.

Yuan Fei's face wasn't very pretty, it was a bit gray.

In front of the dragon bed, the royal concubine is serving the emperor with medicine.

The empress died of illness a few years ago, and the emperor did not ennoble her again. All affairs in the harem were left to the concubine Wang.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Grand Sun is here to see you."

"Where's the prince?"

Zhao Yishi took a step forward and said, "Back to Your Majesty, my father has difficulty with his legs and feet and is already on his way here."

The emperor waved away the hand extended by Wang Guifei and said, "Your Majesty, stay here and everyone else will go out."

"Yes."

Everyone exited the Nuan Pavilion. Zhao Yishi picked up the medicine cup and took a sip to taste it before putting the spoon to the emperor's mouth.

The emperor waved his hand and pressed his chin against the small table, "Take a look."

Three memorials were placed quietly on the small table.

Zhao Yishi put down the medicine cup and picked up one of the letters. After just a few glances, he felt angry in his heart.

This memorial was written by Ding Han, the former prefect of Shaoxing.

The memorial impeached Li Shen, the prefect of Ningbo Prefecture, and Li Huai, the prefect of Wenzhou Prefecture, for manipulating taxes and money, [-]% of which were handed over to the state treasury, and [-]% of which was used to enrich their own pockets.

Li Shen and Li Huai were Li Xing's two sons.

"Thirty percent tax money?"

Emperor Yonghe slapped the bed board loudly, "They also dare?"

Zhao Yishi quickly made a mental calculation.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been prosperous places since ancient times. Even if the two governments pay 50 taels of tax money a year, the three achievements will be 15 taels.

The two brothers Li Shen and Li Huai did not dare to take the 15 taels for themselves. They would definitely have to pay homage to the higher officials. Yan Ruxian should have taken the bulk.

Without the big umbrella of Yan Ruxian, the Li family would never be so courageous as to break through the sky.

The second and third letters were to impeach the two brothers of the Li family.

"Your Majesty, kill him."

Zhao Yishi gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't kill me, my Zhao family's empire will be destroyed in the hands of these people."

Emperor Yonghe looked sideways at his grandson and nodded with great satisfaction.

Being an emperor is like marching to war. Attack when you need to attack, retreat when you need to retreat, kill when you need to kill, and you can't be sloppy in the slightest.

"In the officialdom of Zhejiang, let Taisun Lao show his sword for me."

"Grandson, take the order."

"The people around me."

Emperor Yonghe looked solemn and slowly clenched his fists, "Let me do it myself!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a shout from outside: "His Royal Highness is here."

Emperor Yonghe was interrupted, and his face showed some impatience, "As a father, you have to do everything slower than others!"

Zhao Yishi didn't know how to answer the call, so he could only remain silent. "Just back off."

"Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body. My grandson will retire."

Zhao Yishi finished his salute, bowed and exited the Nuan Pavilion.

Just as he walked outside the threshold, he happened to see the prince being helped out of the chariot by two chamberlains. He hurriedly walked over and stretched out his hand: "Father, be careful."

Zhao Yanluo stood firm and took a breath, "My grandson's feet are really fast!"

Zhao Yishi was startled.

Zhao Yanluo looked at him deeply and said calmly: "It rained heavily yesterday, and my grandson was standing in the red door, but he didn't come out. Today, your majesty is not in good health, and my grandson was the first to arrive. How filial."

"Father, I..."

"There is no need to say more about your great-grandson if you know your son better than your father."

Zhao Yanluo smiled and left with the help of his chamberlain.

Zhao Yishi felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet, and even his blood seemed to be frozen.

He slowly turned around and watched the fat body struggling to cross the threshold. A feeling of grievance suddenly arose and came fiercely.

Father, do you know what I'm going to say?

I actually want to tell you that Lu Shi was behind the trouble caused by the scholars. If His Majesty asks about it, you have to be careful.

In fact, I also want to tell you that if you are fast, you are afraid of being overtaken by others. For many things, only if you are fast, the benefits will fall on us.

What I want to tell you most is that our father and son both prosper and suffer.

It's a pity that you have never been patient enough to listen to your son's heart.

……

"The prince is here."

"Your Majesty, I am late."

Zhao Yanluo walked to the bed, saluted and said, "Please make atonement for your majesty."

Emperor Yonghe pointed to the stool in front of the bed, "Sit down."

Zhao Yanluo sat down with some trepidation, "What did the imperial doctor say? Which medicines were used?"

“It’s just a headache and a fever.

Emperor Yonghe didn't want to say more, "It feels bitter in my mouth. Prince, please help me peel an orange."

"Yes."

Zhao Yanluo had limited legs and feet, but his fingers were quite flexible and he could peel it off in just a few clicks.

Emperor Yonghe took it, took a sip, and asked, "The prince handled the trouble caused by the scholars yesterday very well."

Zhao Yanluo said hurriedly: "This is what I should do."

Emperor Yonghe glanced at him and said, "Prince, have you found out why these scholars are causing trouble?"

Zhao Yanluo answered cautiously: "After checking, they want the court to severely punish Yan Ruxian. Now that Yan Ruxian is dead, they should also know that His Majesty is a wise king."

"What else did you find?"

Zhao Yanluo was stunned for a moment, "This is all I have found so far."

Emperor Yonghe put the orange aside and wiped his hands with a handkerchief, "But I also found out that the old censor had a hand in the scholar's trouble."

"How is this possible?" Zhao Yanluo was so shocked that he almost blurted out.

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized something was wrong and hurriedly said, "Master Lu has been upright throughout his life. I think it is unlikely that he would get involved in such a thing."

"Then the prince means that I have wronged him?"

When Zhao Yanluo heard this, he was so frightened that he quickly wanted to stand up on the chair, and then fell to his knees.

Unfortunately, his body was too fat and he didn't have a cane or anything in his hand. He just used all his strength to suck milk, his face and neck turned red, and his buttocks didn't move at all.

Zhao Yanluo was so anxious that he could only pounce forward and roll to the ground like a ball.

Emperor Yonghe marched and fought with the late emperor since he was a child. He spent almost half of his life riding on horseback to fight on the battlefield.

On the battlefield, only the strongest and smartest soldiers can fight their way out from under the enemy's sword.

When he saw the prince's ugly appearance, he wished he had a whip in his hand so that he could hit him with it.

"Look what you look like!
