Chapter 664 Reenactment of Famous Scenes
The frantic Xu Xi almost shouted at the top of his lungs.
Wu Sansi, who was severely despised by him, was so exhausted that he could not even cry.
He had never seen a person like Xu Xi, who just kept mocking him without stopping.
After all, he was the dignified Prince Liang, but he was insulted by a mere director of the Imperial Observatory. Where was his dignity?
When he thought of this, Wu Sansi remembered that Li Cunxi and Wu Chengsi were still dozing off in the corner of the Yunsu Palace, and he immediately looked in the direction of Li Cunxi.
But he almost suffocated.
Noticing his gaze, Li Cunxi raised his left hand and waved at him calmly, as if to say hello.
"Li Cunxi, Li Cunxi!!!"
"Wow!!"
Wu Sansi cried out in pain, rolled his eyes, and fell down.
The imperial doctors who had arrived at Yunsu Palace at some point took two steps at a time and woke Wu Sansi up.
Seeing this scene, Li Cunxi said to Wu Chengsi standing aside:
"Master, I'm afraid His Majesty has already noticed the situation here."
Wu Chengsi nodded, his eyes still stern as he glanced around.
"Your Majesty had anticipated this and sent the imperial physician over to treat Sansi."
"Today's grand court meeting will probably be much more lively."
As the two were talking, Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi came in together outside the Yunsu Palace. Before they entered the room, they saw Wu Sansi lying on the ground.
"Interesting, interesting."
Zhang Jianzhi stroked his beard and laughed out loud.
"It's really interesting. Before I even entered, I saw King Liang lying on the ground and unable to get up. Haha."
"I just don't know who the King of Liang had a fight with to become what he is now. It's so disgraceful, hahahaha."
Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi looked at each other and started mocking each other without hesitation.
Wu Sansi, who had just woken up, heard the two people talking and was so angry that he almost spit blood on the imperial physician's face.
He pointed at Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi who had not yet entered, and his lips trembled constantly.
"Di Renjie, Zhang Jianzhi, you, you..."
"You guys are going to piss me off to death!!"
Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi ignored him and walked into the Yunsu Palace together without even looking at Wu Sansi.
The two of them glanced around and saw Li Cunxi and Wu Chengsi sitting in the corner, so they walked over together.
"Your Highness the Prince of Qin." Zhang Jianzhi bowed.
"Lord Zhang." Li Cunxi stood up and bowed, showing proper courtesy.
"Cunxi, your third brother has been making me really angry these past few days. Fortunately, I have you, otherwise I would have had a hard time ending this."
Di Renjie patted Li Cunxi's shoulder gently, his eyes full of kindness.
He knew the details of Di Guangzhao's bribery case yesterday, but due to the relationship between him and Di Guangzhao, it was not convenient for him to go to Luzhou in person.
Fortunately, after Li Cunxi learned the truth, he helped Di Guangzhao and came up with a routine of "taking bribes but not breaking the law, and accepting bribes but not doing anything", which allowed Di Guangzhao to successfully escape.
Otherwise, according to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, accepting a bribe of 500,000 taels and disregarding the law would be enough to have Di Guangzhao beheaded several times.
"Uncle, this is all part of my job."
"When I was young, my brothers treated me like their own brother. Now that I have some abilities, I will naturally do my best to help them."
"What's more, this matter is still the work of a big Luzhou clan, who framed my third brother for corruption. I can't just turn a blind eye to it."
Li Cunxi spoke righteously and held his head high.
Not to mention the brotherhood between the two, just say that when he was young, Di Guangzhao would wipe his butt after going to the toilet, so he had to help Di Guangzhao.
Not to mention that Di Guangzhao wanted to reform himself and become a good official, which is why he was framed, so he had to help.
Di Renjie was deeply moved and said helplessly:
"I've been so worried about him."
"I have three sons. The eldest son is a governor, the second son is a governor, and the youngest son is also a governor."
"But among my three sons, only this youngest son worries me the most. When he first entered the officialdom, I repeatedly taught him to be a good official and to speak up for the people."
"He listened at first, but then he stopped listening. Not only did he not listen, he even went further and bullied the people. When I heard about this, I went to Weizhou in person, arrested him, brought him back to Luoyang, and severely criticized him."
"Your Majesty, seeing that I had gone through fire and water for the court, pardoned his sins and sent him to Luzhou as the governor. It has only been a short time, but he has been dismissed from office and has become an idler. I don't know what will happen next."
"Ugh."
Li Cunxi didn't know how to comfort her and sighed.
After all, he is not a father.
Although there are many people who are willing to call him dad or have already called him dad, after all, none of them is his biological son.
He couldn't understand the pain that Di Renjie was feeling.
Wu Chengsi, who was standing aside, was filled with emotion. He sighed and said:
"Huaiying, we are all fathers, I can understand your feelings."
"Wanting to make my son better is just a little selfish of a father. Am I not the same?"
"But how many of my children have become successful?"
"My eldest son, Wu Yanji, is destined to inherit my position. I don't ask him to be both virtuous and talented, I just ask him to be virtuous and have a clear conscience, that's all."
"Among the remaining children, only Yanhao made me feel less worried. And this is all thanks to Cunxi, otherwise who knows what would have happened to him."
"The other children... let's not talk about them."
Two fathers got together and lamented how difficult life is.
However, after hearing what Wu Chengsi said, Di Renjie's mood obviously improved a lot.
Although he had few sons, all of them had served as provincial governors. Few children in Wu Chengsi's family could compare to the three brothers Di Guangsi in his family.
"Wait, Di Huaiying, what does that expression mean?"
Wu Chengsi was thinking about his stupid sons when he suddenly noticed that Di Renjie's facial expression was very unnatural, as if he was trying to hold back a laugh.
"King Wei, I don't have any expression at all."
Di Renjie spoke.
It would be fine if he didn't speak, he could still hold back his laughter for a long time, but once he opened his mouth, a lot of smiles appeared on his face.
"Di Huaiying, you are really..."
Wu Chengsi wanted to say something, but held it back.
There is no way. There are too many sons and their quality is uneven. They are indeed not as good as the three governors in Di Renjie's family.
On the other side, Wu Sansi, who was still taking a breath, saw a few people chatting here and felt depressed. He decided to make these people unhappy after the morning court.
Soon, a eunuch walked into the Yunsu Hall from the darkness and asked the officials attending the court to sign their names.
As the head of all officials and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, Li Cunxi should have been the first to sign when the Crown Prince did not come out.
But after seeing Li Cunxi, the eunuch not only ignored him, but even came directly in front of Wu Sansi and asked Wu Sansi to sign first.
Wu Sansi took the lead and was the first to write down his name.
Imperial Censor Zong Qinke jumped out with his cane, pointed at the eunuch and said angrily:
"How come you don't know the rules, you dog?"
"Your Highness the Prince of Qin and the Prince of Wei are here. How can we get the Prince of Liang to sign first?"
