Da Wei Chun

Chapter 425 What have you done in the past six months

Li Chengzhi tilted his head violently, and the wine jug flew out dangerously rubbing against his ears.

It's unreasonable, I haven't entered the bridal chamber yet, where is your grandson?

Seeing his face full of meaninglessness, Li Shixian was even more furious. He picked up the square plate on the table and chased after him: "Nizi, you don't count how old you are this year, and how old is grandpa? Don't tell me that when I go to the ground, don't you?" What does it look like if you can't see your grandson?"

for real?
With a stride of Li Chengzhi's long legs, he escaped from the middle hall with a "whoosh".

"Nizi, stop for grandpa..."

How can anyone stand still and wait to be beaten?
Li Chengzhi dodged the square plate flying from behind his head, and he rushed seven or eight feet like lightning before he stood still, turned around and forced a smile: "Father, calm down!"

When a father and son meet again after a long absence, who doesn't weep with joy, wishing they could hug each other and cry?

When it's my turn, every time I meet, I have to stage such a scene of "father's kindness and son's filial piety"?
Seeing Li Liang, Li Cong and others shrinking their heads outside the courtyard, Li Chengzhi's face burned and he cursed angrily, "Get lost..."

Li Sixian was also pulled into the middle hall by Guo Yuzhi.

"Come in for grandpa..."

Pointing to Li Liang and the others who were full of gloating faces, Li Chengzhi followed in with lowered brows and shrugged eyes.

"Grandpa asked your mother to bring Jingmo to Beijing, is it for your eyes? Then it is useful to take this concubine for you?

According to what you said, if you pay respects to your parents or not, you are afraid that you will be laughed out of courtesy.What about Ji?Well, even if you don't like Doukou women, the capital is so big, and there are so many music halls by the Luoshui River, there must be older ones, right?It's just that it's not easy for the dusty people to go to the mansion, so they can't raise a house outside the mansion? "

The main wife hasn't even married yet, but she's pushing her son to go to brothels and raise a foreign room?
This dad can...

Li Chengzhi was both funny and depressed: "Where do you have time?"

Li Shixian didn't expect Li Chengzhi to say this, and said in surprise: "Come on, tell grandpa, what are you busy with all day long, so busy that you don't even have time to visit brothels?"

Guo Yuzhi wanted to grit his teeth angrily. If it weren't for Li Chengzhi, Li Shixian's ears would have been swollen.

She spat on Li Sixian: "Be serious!"

Li Shixian stared: "Women, don't talk too much!"

Hey, haven't seen you for a few months, are you fat?

To Li Chengzhi's surprise, Guo Yuzhi actually changed from his previous prestige of a tigress, and just gave Li Chengzhi a glance: "I'm so sorry to talk to you, Alang, so don't annoy him again..."

After saying that, he went out of the middle hall?

Li Chengzhi stared at his old lady's back, as if he didn't recognize her.

"Nizi, what did Grandpa ask you, what have you been doing for the past six months?"

"What else can I do!"

Li Chengzhi straddled his shoulders, with a bitter expression on his face: "I want to accompany the emperor on horseback riding, archery with the emperor, drink with the emperor, listen to music, watch dances, play chess, and even treat and recuperate the emperor... At that time, I also need to help him train soldiers..."

Hearing so many "companions", Li Shixian's heart moved, and he stared straight at Li Chengzhi, his face turned from black to white, from white to blue: "The emperor... is as good as Longyang?"

This time it was Li Chengzhi's turn to turn green: "Father, where are you thinking?"

Not good!

Li Shixian heaved a sigh of relief, and said suspiciously: "Since you want to be a obedient minister, why do you still want to fight in Hebei?"

Along the yarn?

"It is precisely because I am not willing to be an obedient minister that I will please the emperor in every possible way! This capital is full of tigers and wolves, and my son has no power or power. If I don't rely on one or two powerful people, how can I gain a foothold in this capital? People swallowed the skin and bones..."

Li Chengzhi said helplessly, "Even if I want to hide my power and bide my time, it is absolutely impossible: just like Ruyang Wang Yuanyue, he is a good Longyang generation in my father's mouth. On the first day I entered Beijing, I was almost taken away by him..."

"How is it possible?"

"How is it impossible?"

Li Chengzhi pointed to his face, and said, "There is also my mother, who accidentally revealed her wealth when she entered Beijing, which made Jiangyang Prince Yuan aroused greed, and was almost falsely charged and imprisoned..."

Li Shixian was shocked: "It's true that tigers and wolves are everywhere? How did you and your mother escape?"

Li Chengzhi showed a sneer: "I knocked out two of Yuan Yue's teeth, and shot Yuan Yi's leg..."

Li Sixian couldn't sit still, so he stood up suddenly, feeling his scalp numb.

It was King Ruyang first, and now the youngest brother.Afterwards is Yuan Yi, the son of the county prince, who is not a high-ranking and powerful person?
Li Chengzhi beat people to death, but he was still safe and sound?
"Gao Zhaoshi's power?"

"Relying on Gao Zhao, the grass on my son's grave is three feet high..."

Seeing that Li Shixian was about to slap him, Li Chengzhi changed his tone, "Naturally, it is the emperor who relies on me, and I will do my best..."

Li Sixian looked at Li Chengzhi speechless for a long time.

No wonder the son said that it is impossible to be a obedient minister?
After offending so many dignitaries, how could it be possible not to leave disaster behind?

Whenever the emperor dies, it is the day of Li Chengzhi's reckoning...

"That's why I tried my best to extend the life of the emperor, so that I can use the power of the emperor to make more dignitaries, and also allow Li Song and others to stay in bed for two more years and develop for two more years... Of course, it's more than that... ..."

Li Chengzhi stopped talking and took a quick look outside.Seeing that the hall door was closed tightly, he got under the square table as soon as he got low.

What is this?

Li Sixian lowered his head and watched Li Chengzhi holding a short knife and inserting it into the crack of the brick under the table.Not long after, a stone turn about three inches thick and three feet in radius was pried up.

Li Chengzhi turned sideways slightly, and a golden light pierced Li Shixian's eyes.

gold!

Each piece has a slap-shaped circle, about two inches thick, and should be at least about twenty catties.And under this floor tile, it should be at least 200 yuan.

Li Shixian took a sharp breath: "Four thousand real gold?"

"It's eight thousand, and there's another floor underneath!"

Li Chengzhi took out a piece and handed it to Li Shixian so that he could verify the authenticity.Without even thinking about it, Li Sixian put it to his mouth and took a bite.

Really can't be more true!

"Two thousand of them were brought by my mother when she came to Beijing, and the remaining six thousand were all earned by me in the past six months..."

Six thousand gold, integrated into one million catties of copper...

"You robbed the imperial treasury?"

Li Chengzhi snorted: "If you talk about rare treasures, there must be some in the imperial treasury, but if you talk about real gold... Hehehe, it has been donated to temples by successive emperors to mold golden Buddhas... These are all In exchange for Wang Yuanchen from Hejian, Wang Yuanyong from Ruyang, and major temples in Luoyang..."

Fearing that someone would come suddenly, Li Chengzhi closed the floor tiles, and carefully covered the cracks between the tiles.

"Father, let's see: In just half a year, I have earned a million dollars, what if it takes another two years, or three years?
Just this one million gold can buy one million stone grains.If transported to Hexi, it should be enough for Li Song and others to eat and chew for several years.If it is replaced by weapons, armor, chariots and horses, how much should it be?
And all of this is inseparable from the emperor's favor and trust in me.If it weren't for the emperor and his sons being in harmony with each other, not to mention earning so much, but if I show a little bit of money-making ability, I will be regarded as a living cash cow by the tigers and wolves in the capital, until I am squeezed into a mummified corpse.

Today, I am cooperating with the son of Gao Zhao in Shubing, cooperating in tofu with King Ruyang, cooperating in refined salt with King Qinghe, cooperating in hot pot with King Hejian, and cooperating in Lelou with Wei Weiqing's son Yuzhong. My son also opened an ironware workshop under the guidance of his son, specializing in iron utensils and iron pots...

If there is no emperor to give me an opportunity, how can these powerful ministers be willing to cooperate with me?Squeeze is about the same.That's why I can keep all kinds of secret recipes for making a living, and let these powerful people be controlled by me temporarily.

As time goes by, the interests gradually deepen, that is, there is me in you, and you in me.I don't expect these dignitaries to help me one day.I just hope that there will be fewer twists and turns before the incident.Regardless of others, when enemies such as the Hu family, Yuan Ji, Yuan Yi, and Changsun trip me up, there are people in the court who can defend me...

Furthermore, as long as the emperor's trust in me persists, my son's official promotion will always be faster, right?

Now I am from the fifth rank, but if I am promoted to a half rank, the minimum is a prefect of a county when I am released.If I spend a little more time talking and begging the emperor, even if I can't reach Hexi, I can still send it to the left and right of Guanzhong.If managed carefully, it may not be impossible to become a blessed place...

Therefore, the longer the emperor lives, the more he favors me, the greater my chances of success in the future... No matter how much I compliment the emperor and extend his life in the past few years, as long as I can delay for another two years, it will be worth a thousand dollars value……"

Li Chengzhi was eloquent, and Li Shixian was even more stunned when he said it, as if he was frozen.

A whole million gold?
Li Sixian has lived most of his life, and this is the first time he has seen so much money.

King Qinghe, King Ruyang, King Hejian, Sikong Gaozhao, Weiweiqing Yuzhong, Changqiuqing Liu Teng... Which one is not a powerful person, but now they are all related to their son's interests?
Including the single-minded promotion, is it all a preparation for one day?

I just thought that Li Chengzhi's mind has faded a lot after he came to Beijing and saw the prosperity of Luoyang.I already have the idea of ​​being a Taiping obedient minister.Don't you know that you have become more determined and will never return to the road of rebellion?

There is also the blessed land in the mouth of the son, if you put it another way... wouldn't it be my Li family's Longxing land?
I just felt the hot blood rushing to my head, and Li Shixian was dizzy, as if he was drunk.

After shaking for a while, he asked again in a hissed voice: "You just said, 'Extend the life of that...'...But the time is coming?"

This is something everyone knows, but all important officials in the court know it well, and there is nothing to hide.

Li Chengzhi let out a breath: "If there are no twists and turns, it will last for four or five years, and the short will be two or three years..."

Li Shixian clenched his fists tightly: "When I was a father in Jingzhou, I heard that the Hu family must be pregnant with a boy, and it will be the heir apparent one day. And I, Li family, have already become deadly enemies with Hu family." , but the day when he ascends the throne, won't it be the time when my Li family is destroyed?
But in only two or three years, even if you and my father and son, Zhang Jingzhi, Li Song and others try their best, they are definitely not the enemy of a country.At that time, what should you do? "

How could it be possible for Hu's son to take over smoothly?

Otherwise, why would you want to confuse the queen to drug the emperor?

Why did you encourage Gao Zhao to take over the position of Taiwei?

Even if the queen can't give birth to a prince, as long as Gao Zhao's life can be saved, the emperor will still be in charge of the military when he dies, and the world will be in chaos!

"Father, don't worry, it's man-made!"

This sentence again?
Li Shixian rolled his eyes, and suddenly thought of something: "Is it related to your determination to marry Gao's daughter?"

What does Neng have to do with Gao Wenjun?
Even if there was a relationship later, it was because of Gao Wenjun that Gao Zhao got acquainted. The former is the cause, and the latter is the result...

I wanted to perfunctory a few words, but seeing the glint in Li Shixian's eyes, Li Chengzhi asked suspiciously: "What does father want to ask?"

Li Shixian lowered his voice: "Did the Taoist misread it at the beginning, and the girl was not 'the fate of Guluan', but 'unspeakable'?"

Unbelievably expensive... Queen?
That's right, why didn't I think of using this trick to deal with my mother?
Seeing Li Chengzhi rolling his eyes, Li Shixian's face was stern, and he reprimanded in a low voice: "Yes, yes, no, no. This matter is of great importance, please don't pretend to be your father!"

"What does it matter?"

"Idiot, did you really think that your mother and father chose Wei's daughter on a whim? Don't take a good look at it. The Gao family came from barbarian land, and two generations of relatives were the noble family. They have always been ridiculed by the aristocratic family. Since Gao Zhaocai was suddenly lucky, and acted without scruple, enemies were everywhere, except for the Shandong family, the rest of the family had festivals with them.

No matter whether you want to be an obedient minister or a rebellious minister in the future, if you marry the Gao family, not only will it not help, but it will also increase many obstacles.But if you marry the wife of the Wei family, it is tantamount to winning over the Shandong family.And my Li family is originally from a family in Guanzhong, and my marriage with the Zhang family is even more powerful. "

After talking for a while, Li Shixian stared and scolded again, "I also blame you for being so young...not to mention your father and your mother, even your uncle, uncle, grandfather, Zhang Jingzhi, even Li Song, Li Liang and others, are also determined. I don't want you to marry Gao Shi..."

Li Chengzhi was taken aback.

No wonder that whenever Li Song wrote, he would always ask Mr. Zhang if he could marry Zhang's daughter.He also asked when he married the Wei family, but never promoted Wen Jun?

There was also Li Liang, who was always hesitant to speak after entering Beijing. Although he didn't say anything clearly, he seemed to be persuading him inside and out: Mrs. Gao was not a good match.

Li Chengzhi only thought that it was the rumor of Gao Wenjun's "guluan's fate" that made them scruples?
"I know you are determined, so I have to admit it as a father. You can marry, but if it doesn't matter, don't think about it..."

"How can it not matter?"

Li Chengzhi's mouth seemed to be equipped with a spring, and his tongue turned a corner instantly, "It still has something to do with it!"

Knowing a son is like a father, how can you not know Li Chengzhi's thoughts?
"Nizi, I just made a few vows when I was passionate, what is it worth to a man? Your mother said that even Gao Zhao seems to have accepted his fate, but you are the one who is so bitter?"

"Everyone knows that I, Mrs. Li, asked to marry the daughter of the Wei family and the daughter of the Gao family as my concubine. Now it is hard to get off. You tell my father, what should I do as a father?"

Is this just a few vows?

He will never forget the knife that Gao Wenjun stabbed in the chest!

I also blame myself, I have to eat what's in the bowl and be greedy for what's in the pot, which led to such a passive situation today?
"Father, wait a minute, it depends on man's effort, there may be a turning point..."

Halfway through the speech, a flash of light flashed in Li Chengzhi's mind: Gao Wenjun once said that if his meritorious service was high, he might not be unable to seek the emperor's favor.

And two hours ago, the emperor asked him how to reward him?
Li Chengzhi wanted to slap himself.

Seeing his hesitation, Li Shixian sighed sadly: "I can wait for my father, but I can't wait for etiquette! Tomorrow, I will visit my elder brother, Gu Zangbo and other old friends in Beijing for my father, and I will take you to Weishi with Gu Zangbo." The door. Once you enter the door, this matter is a foregone conclusion, and there is nothing to change... You don't need to get entangled anymore!"

Li Chengzhi gritted his teeth fiercely: Then I will enter the palace tomorrow and ask the emperor for orders...

"Tuk Tuk Tuk..."

There were two very light knocks on the door outside, "Husband, the meal is ready, can we eat?"

Glancing at Li Chengzhi who was in a daze, Li Shixian patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, it's not like you won't be allowed to marry?"

Then he returned to the door: "Use it, and call Jingmo. Also prepare a table and banquet. Later, I will invite Li Da, Li Xie and others to a banquet..."

"It's already ready!"

Guo Yuzhi opened the door and came in, and put several steaming plates of meat, soup and cakes on the table.

Just as Li Sixian picked up the chopsticks, a whistle sounded suddenly in the yard.Not sharp or urgent, very tactful.

Li Chengzhi woke up like a dream, and suddenly said: "The order from the palace?"

Holy decree?

To be honest, Lee Si-hyun has lived half his life, and today is really the first time.He quickly put down his chopsticks and urged Li Chengzhi: "What are you doing in a daze, accept the order?"

I have already reminded the emperor that he will take a leave of absence for three to five days, why is there another errand?

Li Chengzhi muttered to himself, and walked out the door unhurriedly.

The one who came was not an internal and external minister who was specially assigned to pass orders to foreign ministers, but a little eunuch.Looking familiar, Li Chengzhi thought for a while, and remembered that it seemed to be the Yellow Gate in the Queen's Palace.

as predicted!

Before Li Chengzhi bowed to him, the little eunuch smiled and said: "Li Shiying, don't be too polite, Your Royal Highness just ordered someone to pass a message: Your Highness wants to hold a banquet in the Gaofu tomorrow, and invite Li Duwei, his wife and Li Shilang." ..."

Li Sixian was stunned.

Tomorrow at you hour, Gao Mansion will host a banquet?
Not to mention the door of the Wei Mansion, I guess I don't even have time to visit my aunt Zangbo Li Shao.

Gao Zhao's move may have a deep meaning...

If Li Chengzhi hadn't stood beside him properly, he would have wondered if this rebellious son had gone to Gaofu to report the news?
No, why is the queen hosting the banquet, but in Gaofu?
Surprised in Li Shixian's heart, he turned his head instinctively, just in time to see Guo Yuzhi's mouth curled up, his face full of disgust.

What did the queen do?
