Chapter 312 Set up a trap(2/4)
"Don't want to be restricted by the court? Are you looking for reasons for him?" Li Linfu scolded Li Xiu and said: "He just wants to regain control of the three towns, so the saint wants to use him, but he has to be on guard against him."
After that, he murmured: "The sage understands in his heart that Wang Zhongsi is still facing Li Heng. Tomorrow I will only see how much Xue Bai can persuade him because of his life-saving grace."
"But now, we can only use Wang Zhongsi..."
Li Linfu frowned and said, "Bring me the official documents from Xian Yu Zhongtong."
"Grandpa, it's right here."
"Um."
Li Linfu then picked up the document again and muttered something, calculating the money needed to recruit 100,000 troops.
"Grandpa, would you like to take a break?" Li Xiu asked, "You are already busy..."
"We can't rest." Li Linfu waved his hands and said: "Now the whole court is staring at me, I can't show weakness to others."
At times like this, he actually became determined.
The world always scolds him, but for him to reach the position of prime minister, at least his desire for power is extraordinary. Others may have given up under the pain and returned to their hometown after serving as official officials, but he is still gritting his teeth.
persist in.
"Don't worry." Li Linfu patted Li Xiu's shoulder once in a while and said warmly: "I was just furious the past few days. Now that the situation has been stabilized, everything will get better."
"My grandpa has worried too much about the Tang Dynasty."
"The gods told me that I will be the prime minister for twenty years, but these are only a few years." Li Linfu smiled and said, "As long as I am not sick, no one can take away my position."
Li Xiu said: "Yes, that's exactly it."
"Xue Bai came to test me today." Li Linfu said, "By the way, has he arrived?"
"Grandpa?" Li Xiu was stunned and murmured: "You have already met Xue Bai just now."
"But I have never heard that Xue Xiu has such a son."
"What?"
"Ji Wen, go and check. I want to know Xue Bai's life experience."
"Grandpa, what are you doing?" Li Xiu was so anxious that he almost burst into tears and said, "I'm not Ji Wen."
"I want you to find out the truth!"
Li Linfu became furious and cursed: "How can I marry my daughter to him without checking it out?!"
"Yes, yes."
Li Xiu quickly crossed his hands and saluted, and unconsciously adopted Ji Wen's tone and said: "I'll go check it out now."
He already has experience. Don't be disobedient when Li Linfu is ill. Waiting for his anger to subside is the fastest way to recover.
"I am resigning."
After exiting the meeting hall, Cang Bi came up to him in the corridor with a sad face.
"Juro, what is this?"
"Here we go again, I am Ji Wen now, and I am going to find out Xue Bai's life experience."
"Still checking?"
Cang Bi didn't know what to do either.
The next moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind.
"What do you want to find out, Juro?"
The two of them turned around and couldn't help but widen their eyes. They saw Li Shiniang coming with Xue Bai.
~~
Li Linfu was still angry in the room and walked a few steps, thinking that he must take this opportunity to get rid of Yang Shenjin. As for Xue Bai, if he was really the son of his enemy, he would be useless.
But strangely, there was another voice in his head telling him that he had to recruit Xue Bai as his son-in-law.
Just as I was thinking about it, someone entered the house. It was Ji Wen.
"Why don't you check it out?!"
Ji Wen did not answer, and was busy pulling a handsome young man away from him to enter the house.
Li Linfu took a closer look and found that this young man was none other than his son-in-law.
Which son-in-law? Because he had too many daughters, he thought for a while before recognizing him. It turned out to be Yuan Ming.
"Right Prime Minister, are you okay?"
"Call me 'father-in-law'." Li Linfu frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"The right minister...can't recognize me?"
"I've already said that I'm called 'father-in-law'. It turns out that even though I have many daughters, I can't even recognize my son-in-law."
Yuan Miao laughed dumbly and said: "I came because I heard that there was a thief in the house. My father-in-law asked me to handle the matter, okay?"
"A traitor?"
"Yes, the traitor who leaked information about the prime minister's house."
Li Linfu didn't care about this matter, nodded, looked at Ji Wen, and shouted: "You still won't go?!"
"This...here, I'm going to resign."
Ji Wen had no choice but to retreat.
Yuan Ming was very bold and sat down on the chair, as if he had the final say here.
~~
Yu Zhen Guan.
March is about to pass, and the peach blossoms in the courtyard are about to wither. Looking at them, Li Jilan can't help feeling pity, feeling that the passage of time is a great tragedy in life.
Walking into the law hall, Li Tengkong was already meditating, his face neither happy nor sad.
"Teng Kongzi, I think you are not cultivating the Tao. You are about to become a Buddha."
"My heart is calm, so why ask the Buddha?" Li Tengkong replied calmly without opening his eyes.
Li Jilan then put on a few more futons, sat down next to her, and asked, "Are you going to stop seeing Xue Lang again?"
"He is already married, so what if we meet him?"
"I……"
Li Jilan hesitated to speak. She wanted to say that Mrs. Yan was very easy to get along with. Then she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and she didn't know what she wanted in this way.
Finally, she said: "But the friendship of friends and ordinary interactions, what's wrong with that?"
"Excuses are for the world to hear." Li Tengkong seemed to have reached a higher level, saying: "I am a person who is born in the world. I only ask my own heart."
"Then in your heart, do you also have a romantic relationship with Xue Lang?"
This time, it was rare that Li Tengkong did not deny it.
She opened her eyes and responded calmly and slowly: "I'm coming out."
Li Jilan couldn't help but admire him.
Jiao Nu came over and said, "Make some time, my family will send someone to invite you back."
"Just answer, I no longer care about the secular affairs at home."
Jiaonu reluctantly accepted the order, and after a while, he led Li Shiniang.
"Seventeen, are you so stubborn?" Li Shiyi's mother just arrived, she complained, then drove the others away, smiled and whispered to Li Tengkong: "Xue Bai is at home.
Go back quickly."
"He is at home, what does it have to do with me?"
"You little girl, why are you always so awkward? If your family mistreats you, just say it if it makes you unhappy. Since you like Xue Bai, go and be happy with him. You can't ask for more in life.
Is it just happiness? Be happy and just reach out for whatever you want. Is there anything my family can’t give you?”
"I just got too much. Sister, you see, all living beings live in poverty. If you ask me what I want, I just ask that my family not be too greedy."
"You really...why don't you understand?" When Li Shiniang heard this, she was extremely anxious and said: "We are born with a lot, and people in the world are born with a low life. Do you understand? If you practice Taoism, what's the use of practicing Taoism?
?You are born with a precious life, but you cannot enjoy it with peace of mind. You have to cultivate it over and over again, and it becomes an affectation!"
After scolding her hard, she didn't bother to reason with Li Tengkong anymore, so she grabbed her and took her back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Sister, let go, I really won't go back."
"I don't care whether you are a Taoist or a Buddha. In the whole world, filial piety is the most important word. Go ahead."
Li Tengkong was stubborn, shook off Li Shiniang's hand and called Jiaonu.
"This is Yuzhen Temple, and I don't allow my sister to be rude."
"you!"
