Chapter 300: Big Brother
Kyoto seems to be boiling.
The people of Kyoto simply feel that this autumn is completely different from the past, with a dazzling array of stories that have never been seen before.
Mr. Li used fireworks to blow up the prime minister's house for the second time.
Immediately afterwards, it was reported that the Jiangnan tax grain was robbed by bandits in Shilipo!
Before I had time to digest this news, I heard that Mr. Li had beaten Ji Xiang in the imperial study room!
I heard that Master Xiao Li beat Ji Tai until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen in front of the emperor. Not only did the old guy vomit three more mouthfuls of blood, he was also pushed to the ground by Master Xiao Li and stamped on him twice!
It's a pity that the old guy is a bastard and he is still not dead.
The news spread like wildfire, and for a time, Mr. Li transcended the category of poetry immortal and became a god among the people.
It is said that he is specially here to deal with those ghosts and monsters!
You see, all the officials in the court seem to have lost their usual arrogance. They all seem to have their tails between their legs and have become extremely low-key.
The streets were suddenly no longer full of those rambling carriages, and even the usually menacing bearers carrying the sedans lowered their heads and even gave way.
For a time, teahouses and restaurants were full of rumors about the eldest son of the emperor.
Obviously, the common people are far more concerned about the prince's violent beating of Prime Minister Ji than the robbery of taxes and grain——
If taxes and grain are robbed, the government will naturally send troops to snatch them back, or they may end up in vain like last year.
But the high-ranking Prime Minister Ji who had done all kinds of bad things was defeated in the hands of Mr. Li, which made people feel even more happy.
Li Chenan didn't know this.
In the past two days, he was the one who took Su Muxin to the Imperial City Division and threw it to Wang Zheng Jinzhong yesterday. After that, he returned to Yunji Villa and did not go out for two days.
He is very busy.
Busy with the door closed.
He took Zhou Huairen and Zhao Dazhu to a small courtyard far away from the main courtyard, and the three of them were making fireworks non-stop.
The entrance to this small courtyard is guarded by the door god Amu holding his sword.
Without Li Chenan's permission, his knife would not let anyone in.
It was not until evening that Li Chenan walked out tired and dusty.
Because, tonight, the emperor will hold a banquet in the palace.
Tomorrow, the emperor will leave Kyoto and go to Changle Palace.
Early yesterday morning, Qi Zhixue came to Yunji Bieye and brought him a message, which made him feel a little uneasy, so he was holding two egg-sized fireworks in his hand.
"Don't worry."
Looking at the worried expression on Zhongli Ruoshui's face, Li Chenan grinned and raised the two gadgets in his hands, but Zhongli Ruoshui patted the ashes on his body and said:
"Although this thing is powerful, if you get too close, it will hurt you if you hurt the enemy... Go wash up, I asked Xue'er to prepare hot water."
"Well, you better not worry. After all, a tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds. What's more, even if I'm not a disciple, even if he is really using me, he hasn't achieved his goal yet."
Zhongli Ruoshui pondered for a moment, "Today I went to the Hou Mansion and told grandma exactly what you told me. Grandma agreed. The Shenwu Army will be ready and will cooperate with you. But grandma said
You have time to go to the Hou Mansion these two days, she has something she wants to talk to you about."
"good."
Li Chenan took a bath, changed into the clothes Zhongli Ruoshui had made for him, and said goodbye to Zhongli Ruoshui. He took Zhou Shiba and left Yunshui Bieyeye in the carriage driven by An Zizai, heading towards the palace.
…
…
Royal palace and harem.
Baihua Palace.
Concubine Li changed into white linen clothes, looked at her daughter sitting opposite, and sighed slightly in her heart.
The sixth princess, Ning Shuyu, still wore a hijab, and her eyes were filled with resentment and a vicious look.
"Mother and concubine, what does the father mean?"
"Even if he didn't know that Meiyuan was his daughter's future consort's house before, his daughter told him later, but he didn't change his mind. Seeing that Meiyuan really belongs to Li Chenan!"
"This is nothing."
"Li Chenan has been disrespectful to Prime Minister Ji over and over again... Even if he throws away his identity as Prime Minister, there is still Concubine Ji in the harem!"
"After all, he is also a relative of the emperor. According to folk rules, he is the father-in-law of the emperor, and the emperor is his half-son!"
"How could he let Li Chenan humiliate Prime Minister Ji like this?"
"Even if Li Chenan is really Empress Lu's son, this goes beyond the rules. If he is neither big nor small, how can he be decent?"
"Father, he...has he changed too much in these years? My daughter is really, really hard to understand!"
Concubine Li was still smiling and had been patiently listening to Ning Shuyu's dissatisfaction before speaking:
"In the Tian family, there is no such thing as a son-in-law! There are only kings and ministers!"
"Besides, Concubine Ji is not in a hurry. Why are you in a hurry?"
Ning Shuyu was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath, "My daughter feels unhappy!"
"Just for the plum garden?"
"Not entirely...it's just that I can't see him, Li Chenan, being so arrogant!"
The corners of Concubine Li's mouth slowly raised and she looked at Ning Shuyu lovingly.
"If you think about it carefully, what's the grudge between you and Li Chen'an?"
"Even if it is the Huo family, in Guangling City, the Huo family and the Li family can even be said to have nothing to do with each other!"
"One is a merchant in Guangling, and the other is from a scholarly family. They can't even fight!"
"Let's talk about that kid Shu Fan. He did have some festivals with Li Chenan in Guangling City. But if you think about it again, are those festivals impossible to live through?"
"Mom, tell me something you don't want to hear."
"Now Li Chen'an, I'm afraid he has long forgotten those things in the past. Because those were small things, but what he is going to do now has become a big thing!"
"He may even have forgotten the name Huo Shufan!"
Concubine Li took a deep breath and said seriously:
"Mom once took you and your brother to Dongshan."
"Dongshan is very high and Qishuiyuan is huge."
“Only by standing on the top of Dongshan Mountain can you overlook the entire Qishuiyuan!”
"But you can't see clearly the grass on Qishuiyuan!"
"Because those who climb to the top of the mountain want a broad view, not to lose sight of a blade of grass!"
"Mom doesn't dislike Shufan for being just a piece of grass. Grass has its own benefits. Spring comes, autumn comes and dries up, and spring comes again... In this way, although it is ordinary, you don't have to worry about wind and rain, and you can enjoy worry-free years."
"You kid, you're still too young-minded. What mother hopes is that you can live a peaceful life."
"As for Li Chenan, he is climbing a mountain. As for where he can go... I don't know."
"But mother, I hope you can just stand on Qishuiyuan and watch his back quietly! Never go to the Prime Minister's Mansion again and do those stupid things that you think are smart, but may bring you endless disasters!
"
Concubine Li's last words were quite serious.
But Ning Shuyu couldn't understand Concubine Li's good intentions.
"So my father is hosting a banquet tonight. His Royal Highness, the second emperor and my elder brother are all in attendance. Li Chenan is also in attendance. Does this mean that I really have an extra eldest brother?"
