Li Wenkang's praise of his son has two meanings. First, this kid deserves praise for protecting his sister.

Now that Li Yuanzhe has entered the Shenji Camp, he has stepped into the officialdom with half a foot. As the saying goes, being with a king is like a tiger, and it is a good thing to be alert to the words and deeds of these dragon sons and grandsons.

The affairs of the Tian family will be involved in party disputes at every turn, and if it is not done well, the whole family will lose their heads.

Although Li Yuanzhe guessed correctly that Wang An's move today was aimed at the Changxing Marquis Mansion and had nothing to do with him, he still decided to go see the emperor tomorrow.

He had to tell the emperor that his niece had been wronged, so he could help her to get some benefits.

By the way, he begged the emperor to take back the imperial decree to grant the marriage to his niece. Of course, he didn't really want the emperor to take it back, but he had to take this opportunity to show his loyalty to the emperor and let the emperor know that he would not participate in the struggle between the princes.

On the second day, as soon as the court meeting was over, Li Wenkang went to the imperial study and asked to meet the emperor.

The chief eunuch led Li Wenkang into the imperial study.

Emperor Qitai was reviewing the memorial, glanced at Li Wenkang who walked in, and said with a gentle smile, "Why is Aiqing looking for me?"

Li Wenkang knelt on the ground with a bitter face, hesitant to speak.

Seeing that Li Wenkang hadn't spoken for a long time, Emperor Qitai glanced at him distractedly, but it was rare to see him like this: "What's wrong?"

"Thanks to the great love of the emperor, the niece who was a minister a year ago and Gu Zicong married Master Gu..."

Li Wenkang glanced at Emperor Qitai, knowing that what he said next might make the emperor angry, but he still had to speak.

"I know that my niece is stupid and not worthy of Mr. Gu, so I ask the emperor to take it back." Li Wenkang knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Emperor Qitai.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qitai slapped the red brush in his hand on the table with a "snap", and looked at Li Wenkang with a frown.

He naturally knew that this niece of the Li family was not worthy of Gu Zicong, and Emperor Qitai even felt that there were not many girls in the world who could be worthy of Gu Zicong.

But who made Zicong fall in love with that girl, even ran to him to ask for a marriage edict after she broke off the engagement, he naturally gained the beauty of a man.

What does Li Wenkang mean now, that his niece doesn't like Zi Cong?Dare to go to Yuqian to withdraw the engagement?

But a few days ago, Emperor Qitai heard reports from his subordinates that Gu Zicong and Li's niece had a very good relationship and wished they could stay together all day, so why did they suddenly want to divorce.

Could it be that the two had a conflict, and the Li family's niece was arguing for Li Wenkang to withdraw the engagement?

Impossible, even if the Li family's niece is not sensible, Li Wenkang still knows the seriousness, how could he dare to come to him so casually to withdraw the engagement.

From this point of view, there is something else hidden about this matter.

Emperor Qitai was not in a hurry, picked up the brush again and continued to review the memorial, waiting for Li Wenkang to speak.

"Yesterday, I took my wife and children to the Marquis of Changxing for a banquet, and met King An..."

Li Wenkang paid attention to Emperor Qitai's expression while talking. Sure enough, Emperor Qitai paused when he heard Li Wenkang talking about King An.

Li Wenkang repeated the words he heard from Li Yuanzhe verbatim.

"Your Majesty clearly understands that I agreed to this marriage entirely because of His Majesty's gift of marriage, but if this causes people to misunderstand my loyalty to Your Majesty, I will be terrified." Li Wenkang kowtowed twice on the ground again.

Emperor Qitai understood the meaning of Li Wenkang's words, and he was showing his loyalty to him. This Li Wenkang actually played such tricks on him.

Emperor Qitai thought it was funny in his heart, but his face was serious: "Since that's the case, I won't force it. Don't worry, Aiqing. I will naturally find a good son-in-law for your niece in the future."

He glanced at Li Wenkang who was kneeling on the ground, and saw Li Wenkang froze there, as if he did not expect that he would really agree to withdraw the marriage decree.

"Okay, Ai Qing, let's go back first."

Li Wenkang looked at Emperor Qitai in astonishment. He... he just wanted to let the emperor know that his niece had been wronged. He hoped that the emperor would make the decision. Is it like this?

If this marriage is really rescinded by him like this, how can he explain to his niece after returning.

Emperor Qitai kept brushing in his hand, and took time to glance at Li Wenkang: "Aiqing is still leaving, so you don't need to be on errand today?"

Li Wenkang complained in his heart and regretted endlessly, but he had no choice but to resign after the emperor sent a message.

Inside the imperial study.

Seeing that Li Wenkang had left, Emperor Qitai laughed twice, and threw the written imperial edict to the chief eunuch who was waiting beside him.

"Go to the inner storage to pick some cloth jewelry and send them to Li Wenkang's residence together with this imperial decree. This guy really thinks I don't know what he is thinking."

Emperor Qitai laughed twice, and the chief eunuch next to him laughed together, and Emperor Qitai immediately put away his smile: "What are you laughing at? Send someone to Prince An's Mansion, and pass on my oral instructions, and the subordinates of Prince An will He uttered wild words and insulted the court officials and their relatives, and was punished with thirty sticks to be expelled from Prince An's mansion. In addition, King An was not strict with his orders, and he was fined to stay behind closed doors and contemplate for half a month."

"Yes."

The chief eunuch took the imperial decree and went out, first went to the inner storehouse and then ordered the two little yellow gates to go to Li's mansion and Prince An's mansion respectively.

The little yellow gate who went to Li's mansion saw that in addition to the imperial decree, there were so many rewards sent to Li's mansion together, he guessed it was a good thing, maybe there were many rewards waiting for him, and he was very happy along the way.

And the little Huangmen who went to Prince An's mansion looked dejected. The command was so obvious that King An's temperament might make him fly into a rage, and maybe even him would be affected.

Alas...how this hard work fell on him, it's really bad luck.

But even knowing that this is a hard job, he still had to bite the bullet and read out the oracle.

Sure enough, after he finished reading the oral order, he hadn't even taken two steps when he heard the porcelain crashing in the main hall of Prince An's Mansion behind him.

Of course Li Qiming was angry, it's alright that he was humiliated in public by the two boys surnamed Li and Gu in the Marquis of Changxing yesterday, but today his father specially sent someone to punish him to think about his mistakes behind closed doors.

Li Qiming picked up another blue and white porcelain bottle and dropped it on the ground with a "bang", clenched his hands into fists, and punched the square table beside him.

The more Emperor Father protects them, the harder it is for him to swallow this breath, just wait, he will not let any of this group of people go.

The commander of Jingwei envoys the department.

After the day's errands were over, Li Wenkang went down to the office with a dark face and prepared to go home.

As soon as Li Wenkang left, everyone in the commander's department breathed a sigh of relief.

I don't know what happened to the commander today, he was so angry, no matter who caught the mistake, he would scold him fiercely, and the whole commander made everyone in the department panic.
