Chapter 81 Li Bing's Opportunity
Everyone covered the bride with a veil, and after a short rest, the band welcomed the sedan chair to worship the god of sedan chair. After worshiping, the bride and groom ate the wedding cake.
Hua Shang was almost motionless, as if she had lost her soul. Li Bing looked at her as a child and dressed up as a bride. Suddenly, she remembered that she played house with girls when she was a child, and couldn't help but laugh. What would Hua Shang look like if she grew up?
Afterwards, the bride was supported by two bridesmaids. The cannon was clamored three times and the gongs were ringing. The sedan chair was taken off by two uncles from the Guar family.
When the sedan chair reaches the gate of the man's house, the sedan chair body should land in the direction of the God of Joy. After getting off the sedan chair, the bride should step on the pre-paved red felt, hold the spokes, porcelain bottles, bronze mirrors, etc. in hand, and be supported by the bridesmaid, and walk slowly under the guidance of the groom's "concentric knot".
Li Bing looked at the red eyes, thinking that in a short time, these reds would turn white, and shed two lines of tears. He was afraid that people would see it, so he immediately wiped it away.
When they arrived at the gate, they were about to jump over the brazier and saddle, and the bridesmaid carried the bride's steps forward. Two people in the Li family sprinkled grains on the bride. After entering the yard, the bridesmaid helped the bride sit facing the god of joy.
It is time to worship the heaven and earth. The groom, the bride, kowtowed three times to the tablet of the heaven and earth, went to the ancestor hall to worship four times, and then returned to the courtyard, bowed to the parents, and prayed to each other with the couple.
The bride and groom entered the bridal chamber. After entering the bridal chamber, they drank a glass of wine. The good-fate woman was whispering to "step on four corners" and step on four corners". Li Bing was upset and shouted, "Li Zhan!"
Only then did he remember how his fourth brother could be in his brother's bridal chamber! He coaxed everyone out, and he picked up Xiying, his hands trembling, Hua Shang was still open his eyes, but his eyes were dull and his face was a little pale.
Li Bing asked Hua Shang to lie down safely. At this moment, he was worried, expectant and afraid. If he could not survive for a month, the Li family was really a little stretched. He had to borrow money for funerals, which made him worried.
Li Bing also hopes that Hua Shang may be well. After all, she is a good child. Maybe she will be a little arrogant. If you train well, you may become a good wife and mother in the future. She is full of expectations.
Although Li Bing was also worried about affecting his career, the officialdom was already full of dangers. Whether he could be promoted depends on his ability, but this was not a big deal. He was afraid that if he survived, the fourth prince would find out and start to make trouble with him, which would bring shame to the Li family.
He only invited the relatives of the Li family and Hua Shang's adoptive father, Lord Mo Chenshun, but the adults were very tactful and only sent a gift for the illness.
The doctor prescribed a dose of medicine to support his physical strength. Hua Shang could barely stand up after drinking it. She seemed not very sober, and she didn't make any noise or speak. Li Bing suspected that she was furious and was confused.
The brother's face was not very good. A guest suddenly made a joke, and his second uncle glared at him. The guests went back, and Li Bing grabbed Li Zhan and said, "Let's go, have another drink with me."
Li Zhan sent Li Bing back to his new house. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard Li Bing shouting "Hua Shang! Hua Shang!" Li Zhan rushed in immediately. Li Bing sat by the bed. The two brothers sat down at the table in the bridal chamber and were drinking.
Li Bing said: "I saw her sleeping quietly in bed, and I thought she was dead. The fourth brother, you said that holding weddings is the same as holding funerals. If you suddenly have to hold funerals again, it would be ridiculous."
After saying that, Li Bing lay on the table. Li Bing whispered: "If I can pass this level safely, I will be diligent and dedicated. Li Zhan, if I can't pass this level, I will take good care of you and take care of your stepmother."
After saying that, Li Zhan looked up and saw the tears on his brother's face. He asked, "Brother, what's going on?" Li Bing said, "I'm in a dilemma now. I want the emperor to see that I'm a usable material. I've stopped this bad thing myself, and the emperor took the opportunity to throw the mess to me."
Yes, Li Bing married the side princess of the Fourth Prince. There is no news about the Fourth Prince now, but what if the Fourth Prince comes back?
The princess only treats them as slaves. When she recovers, how can she let her stay in the Li family? What does the emperor think of Li Bing? Do you think Li Bing is smart or do you only know how to scheming the enemy?"
Just after the wedding, I had to prepare for the funeral. Li Hu bought two good coffins very early. The coffins were ready-made. A few days later, the emperor appointed Li Bing to investigate Zhao Gui's case.
Li Zhan's academic studies in official studies have ended. He only came to Chahar to serve as the Foreign General in September. He was just a small official of the eighth rank. However, Chahar's conditions were too poor. Li Bing felt sorry for his younger brother and had no good choice.
Li Bing handed over the task of taking care of Hua Shang to Li Zhan and said, "Give her medicine, no matter whether she is a foot doctor or not, she can't stand by death if she has one breath."
As he spoke, in mid-May, Li Bing was promoted to the fourth-rank left-rank censor and worked in the Censorate. Zhili Governor Yu Yi secretly reported to Kangxi: "Yuan Yu was corrupt and abused the law and sold official positions."
The emperor asked: "Why no one was impeached?" Yu Yi replied: "Who is not afraid of losing his own interests?". Emperor Kangxi decided to attack Yuan Yu's party, and then dismissed Yuan Yu's Grand Secretary and handed it over to the Censorate.
The left censor was Yuan Yu's clerk, and the right censor was the old subordinate of Yuwen Hu, the Otsuka Priest. Li Bing was originally just a sesame official and wanted to rely on the two prime ministers without even a sect. The emperor appointed Li Bing to investigate the case of Yuan Yu's clerk for private affairs and corruption.
Li Bing, the Ming Prime Minister who was powerful in the court and the country, wanted to show off his performance, but if he really ruined Ming Xiang and Yuan Yu's power was mixed, then his future career might not be easy.
As soon as the twelfth lunar month arrived, Yuwen Yong had not yet fully awakened, but he could not die for a while depending on the situation. The soldiers were careful to escort along the way and finally arrived in the capital alive.
Although he was unconscious most of the day, he still woke up. Yuwen Yong woke up: "Where is this?" The people replied: "Fourth Prince, you have suffered. This is our palace."
Yuwen Yong said: "Where is the Princess of the Bian? Who are you? Why have I never seen you?" The slaves cried: "The Princess of the Bian has passed away and has been buried long ago." The fourth prince fainted like a thunder sound in his ear.
Li Bing assisted Lord Yu Yi to thoroughly investigate Yuan Yu's case. The emperor praised Lord Yu as the most honest official in the world. No matter how old he was, Yu Yi was always honest and self-controlled, and did many good deeds, and was deeply loved by the people. Li Bing wanted to explore Lord Yu's meaning, but was afraid that his little thoughts would be seen through. After thinking about it, he still had to reveal his flaws before he could see Lord Yu's meaning.
Li Bing said: "Sir, the emperor thinks that the emperor does not want Suo Xiang or Ming Xiang to be the only one. If you want to maintain the balance of the court, you must keep Lord Yuan Yu. Not only Lord Yuan Yu is the one who sells official positions, but Lord Yuwen Hu of Otsuka also gained a lot of benefits from this. Lord Yuan Yu's biggest crime is to attack the crown prince."
Yu Yi also wanted to see what this young man had, so he simply followed his words and took the plan. Master Yu said: "Yuan Yu attacked the crown prince in a big way, hoping to abolish the crown prince and let his nephew and eldest son Yinzhi inherit the throne in the future. Otsuka Jailu Yuwen Hu naturally opposed it."
Li Bing did not expect that Lord Yu Yi, who has always been praised as righteous, did not accuse him of speculation about the emperor's thoughts, and hit it off with him. Li Bing was a little confused about how to get the right meaning of Lord Yu next.
The Fourth Prince kept vomiting all night, waking up once, and vomiting once. He felt that he had vomited completely, so he fell asleep. After waking up, he had a headache. The Fourth Prince kept saying: "The head is swelling, the eyes are swelling, and the stomach is uncomfortable."
The servants quickly reported to the Empress Dowager, who sent the Imperial Doctor to treat him. The Imperial Doctor said: "Dry retching, headache, you should use Wuzhuyu Decoction." The Fourth Prince thought the medicine was bitter and spicy, and the nanny beside him coaxed him and frightened him, and forced him to finish the drink.
Li Bing could only bite his teeth: "The struggle between Yuan Yu and Otsuka Jae Yuwen Hu about the candidate for the prince made the emperor angry. He could tolerate them to accept corruption and bribes and sell official positions, but he could not tolerate them to shake the country's foundation. The emperor valued the prince and returned it to everyone. "
Yu Yi continued: "So first attacked Yuan Yu, who attacked the prince, and instructed a censor to impeach Yuan Yu for corruption. This censor is Li Bing. The fourth-rank left-rank chief censor is not the top leader of the Censorate. When you propose to impeach Yuan Yu, the whole court is in an uproar. A small fourth-rank official dares to impeach the prime minister of the dynasty.
When Li Bing heard this, he was panicked. Yu Yi said: "If it were someone else, the emperor would have put aside the investigation and prosecution. But not only did you not be punished, but you got a chance to make meritorious service, right? Lord Li?"
Li Bing was angry: "Sir, I don't. Li Bing wants to be promoted, but what Li Bing wants to be a conscientious official, not the emperor's tool for playing with power."
Yu Yi smiled: "Sir Li, don't worry, old man, I'm just joking with you. I'm just watching you. I'm just getting promoted so quickly at a young age. Recently, I heard some rumors in my ears. I'm curious about what kind of person you are. It seems that you are also a straight person."
Li Bing said: "I know what the lord heard about my wife. Li Bing can only say that he must be worthy of my wife and myself. There is also the lord who calls me Li Bing. I am your subordinate. If you call me Lord Li, how dare I behave?"
Yu Yi said: "Li Bing, Yuan Yu's party members are everywhere in the court. We have investigated. We must not find out that Yuan Yu has formed a clique for personal gain and shakes the foundation of the country. If Yuan Yu's party members are involved, the court will become unstable because of this matter. In this way, it will be difficult for the emperor to do it. We must do only Yuan Yu and not others."
Seven or eight days passed, and Yuwen Yong finally got much better. After waking up, he stopped sleeping and did not vomit after eating. He was only injured by a knife, which was damaged by bones and bones, and he still needed to keep him quietly for about a hundred days.
The fourth prince asked the maid who served beside him: "When Princess Bang left, did he leave any relics?" The maid shook her head: "Back to the master, I just came here, and I have never seen Princess Bang."
