Li Xiaoji burst into the lobby of the Changle County Duke's Mansion with an angry face. Seeing that Li Youliang and Changsun Chang were still feasting excessively, he was so angry that without saying a word, he turned over the table of the two of them.

.

This Li Xiaoji has good abilities, but in terms of character, he has no experience in officialdom, but he has some troubles in his eyes, and he does not have the ability to dance well like Li Yuan.

I have to say that Li Yuan is really different from the others in the old Li family. Others, including Li Er, are flamboyant and conceited, high-spirited and arrogant, and have a tendency to go to extremes, which goes deep into their bones.

inside.

Li Youliang was listening to Chang Sun Chang talk about Uncle Xiang. When he first heard about Li Xiaoji, he felt a little guilty. But Li Xiaoji was so indifferent to his face, and Li Youliang's trace of guilt had long since disappeared without a trace.

, but anger and dissatisfaction with Lee Hyo-ki surged into his heart.

Li Youliang jumped up suddenly, pointed at Li Xiaoji and shouted: "Li Xiaoji, what are you doing?"

Although Li Xiaoji was older than him and had a higher official position, Li Youliang was not afraid of him. This time when he got angry, he even called him by his name.

After Li Xiaoji's father, Li Zhang, was killed by Yang Jian, the family was restricted and it was difficult to serve as an official. Li Xiaoji just stayed at home on weekdays, had no official position, and had little prestige in the family. Naturally, he would not get the honor of being a knight.

He was respected by the lawless Li Youliang.

Li Xiaoji also regretted having turned over Li Youliang's table. He knew this cousin very well.

Li Youliang is not very capable, but he takes his face very seriously.

However, seeing that Li Youliang had no intention of repenting, Li Xiaoji's trace of regret immediately dissipated, and when he looked at Li Youliang's face, only anger and anger remained.

"Li Youliang, I gave an order today, ordering you to gather at Zhaoyang Gate and go with me to each gate to inspect the defenses. Why don't you go?"

It turned out that Li Xiaoji was going to make a surprise inspection of the defenses of various city gates today, so he notified Li Youliang, Zhao Cijing, and Samurai Xun. The four of them went to the four city walls to inspect the defenses. Unexpectedly, when the sun was shining high, Zhao Cijing, and Samurai Xun

He arrived early, but he still didn't see Li Youliang. Li Xiaoji suppressed his anger and took the two of them to check the defense. He went straight to Li Youliang's house, but saw Li Youliang having a banquet. He could not be angry, so he turned the table over.

things.

After hearing Li Xiaoji's question, Li Youliang remembered this order.

Li Youliang usually didn't take Li Xiaoji's orders seriously. He drank a lot last night and got up late this morning, so he had long forgotten about it.

However, Li Youliang usually fought for three points unreasonably. He did not directly answer Li Xiaoji's words, but shouted: "Li Xiaoji, don't bully others too much. Your surname is Li, and my surname is Li, too.

They are all cousins ​​of the Tang Dynasty king. You came to my door and humiliated me like this. I really thought that I, Li Youliang, was dead."

It was obviously Li Youliang's fault, but Li Youliang's ability to mess around was extraordinary. What he said seemed to be that Li Xiaoji was just looking for trouble.

Li Xiaoji was stunned when he heard Li Youliang's words, but he didn't expect that Li Youliang actually knocked him down.

However, this success aroused Li Xiaoji's anger. He pointed at the other party and said: "Li Youliang, you are worthy of saying that your surname is Li. What time is it now? The Sui army is approaching the city, and Chang'an City is in danger. At this time, everyone inside and outside Chang'an City is trying to

We have worked hard to defend the city and are determined to share the same hatred. But as a relative of the Tang Dynasty king and a general of the country, you should be loyal to the country and your family, but at this critical moment, you drink all night long, play excessively, and treat military and national affairs as child's play. It's so unbearable.

Are you worthy of the Tang Dynasty King and the Li family?"

Li Xiaoji pointed at Li Youliang's nose and cursed, making Li Youliang feel embarrassed and annoyed.

Li Xiaoji's words almost poked Li Youliang's lungs. The most criticized criticism Li Youliang heard since childhood was that he had lost the face of his ancestors.

So Li Youliang roared angrily: "You, Li Xiaoji, don't use chicken feathers as arrows. I, Li Youliang, am not scared. What's wrong with me drinking some wine to boost morale? You have the ability, go and fight off the Sui army. What are you yelling at me about?"

If you hadn't handled it improperly, Daoyan's nephew would have died, and the Sui army would have attacked Chang'an City?

I think you just don't like me. If you are really capable, you can withdraw from me."

The two of them were at war with each other and were about to pick up the sword and fight.

Lee Yoo-liang is a free-spirited guy, and Lee Hyo-ki can't control him at all.

As for removal from office, that is impossible.

Before Li Yuan left, he deliberately left seven ministers behind to guard Chang'an City. In terms of military affairs, he also ordered Li Xiaoji, Li Youliang, and Zhao Cijing to make decisions. All for the purpose of decentralizing power, checking and balancing, and preventing chaos.

Li Youliang himself was the one who checked and balanced Li Xiaoji, so even though Li Xiaoji was the talker in Chang'an, he could not remove Li Youliang from his post.

Of course Li Youliang knew this, so he dared to blow his beard and stare at Li Xiaoji. If the person facing him was Li Yuan, no matter how stupid he was, he would not dare to do this.

Li Xiaoji was choked and couldn't speak, so he could only point at Li Youliang while trembling.

"Li Youliang, I saw you were so stubborn when you met the King of Tang."

After saying that, Li Xiaoji held the sword at his waist tightly and left angrily.

Lee Hyo-ki had no time to deal with the other party, so he really didn't want to see the other party's ugly and arrogant face.

But just waiting for Li Xiaoji to leave, Li Youliang had nowhere to vent his anger, so he kicked the table in front of him hard, straight into the courtyard outside the room.

"Damn it, Lee Hyo-ki, who do you think you are!"

Li Youliang cursed and was angry, so he had to take something to vent his anger on. As for the waiters around him, they hid as far away as possible, trying to keep Li Youliang out of sight to prevent Li Youliang from angering him.

As for Changsun Chang, he never spoke, as if he didn't exist.

There is disharmony in the family, and outsiders bully me. God helps me in what I am going to do today.

It wasn't until Li Xiaoji left that Changsun Chang said: "My lord, it is unwise to be aloof today. You have had such a quarrel with Duke Rong Guo. I thought that after Duke Rong Guo returned, he should write a letter to the king of Tang, requesting that the county be taken back."

The Duke’s military power is over.”

"He dares!"

Li Youliang said loudly, but in fact he didn't have much confidence.

"My lord, the handle of the sword is in the hands of Duke Rong Guo. Can the Duke stop him? I think the Duke should know that at this time, it is not a big deal for Duke Rong Guo to take on the responsibility of guarding Chang'an. The King of Tang will definitely not

Disgraced him."

"So what, I'm not afraid of him!"

Li Youliang has not recovered from his anger.

"My lord, please give me an order from the king of Tang Dynasty. Is the lord of the imperial army under his command going to listen to the lord or to the Duke of Rongguo? Without military power, the lord is like meat on the chopping board, just waiting to be slaughtered."

Li Youliang also became quiet at this time and did not speak for a long time.
