I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 169 The Stubborn Celebrity Who Can't Be Offended!

At the beginning, Li Cheng made himself famous by ruining his wife's reputation.

It was at that time that Liu Long first heard this name.

Of course, he was already famous at that time, otherwise he wouldn't have been introduced into the palace because of such a trivial matter, and he, the emperor, had already said what the queen mother, Deng Sui, had said.

None of the officials in the court or the regular servants in the palace are busy people, but they are not interested in paying attention to such trivial matters every day.

It's just that when someone mentions Li Chong, it will naturally mention the past of Li Chong's rise in the past.

When Liu Long heard this guy for the first time, he still thought he was a guy who didn't understand anything, thinking that he could get some kind of reputation by doing so.

In fact, his future has been destroyed.

And it's not just Liu Long who thinks so, Deng Sui also expressed incomparable anger towards Li Chong after hearing these things.

Although Deng Sui knows etiquette very well, she also understands the word reason in this world.

Especially knowing that the life of a woman in this world is really not easy, and it is even more difficult to accomplish something.

Over the years, Deng Sui has been working hard to find a way for women in this world.

Although the effect was very weak, she never thought of giving up.

In this matter, Deng Sui knew that what Li Chong did was in line with the etiquette and followed the rules of the big man, so Deng Sui could not blame him.

Even to praise this person on the bright side!
But in the depths of his heart, he already hated him very much, and even felt that this kind of guy who did everything he could to achieve his goals absolutely couldn't have any chance of being reused.

After all, no one knows if he will suddenly go crazy, if he will deceive himself, and then at the critical moment, he will lose face just like his wife, in a life-and-death dilemma!

Therefore, although Deng Sui nodded to express his approval, he did not express anything, let alone decide how to conscript him.

Even when the officials kept taking him out, Deng Sui directly brought up the matter of his resignation from the late emperor.

After all, this guy really rejected the expropriation of the late emperor Liu Zhao back then, and he was the highest etiquette of the great man. He refused without hesitation.

This also shows that Deng Sui really doesn't want to talk to this guy!
In fact, after the initial incident, neither the General's Mansion nor the local government had any thoughts about what to do with him, but just silently watched how far that guy could go.

But what everyone didn't think of was.

Li Chong's reputation quickly changed, and not long after that incident happened, his mother passed away.

I don't know if he was pissed to death by his up-and-coming son.

In short, it is to leave this world.

And as a well-known filial son in the local area, at this time, of course, he had to give up his family, return to his mother's grave, and directly build a thatched hut.

Living in a hut, keeping filial piety for his mother for three full years!
Not one day more, but never one day less.
And this kind of behavior of a filial son will naturally increase his reputation, but if it's just that, maybe he is a real filial son.

But the wind reviews will not change too much.

And this time the biggest problem appeared.

When he kept his filial piety, many people who were really forced to the point of death by this world would cut down trees and sell some wood in exchange for some money and food.

This kind of thing is not much in this world, even if you don't sell it for any money, you still need firewood for the winter!
In short, as soon as the day comes, many people will start cutting down trees everywhere. This is not a big deal, and no one really cares.

That thing, even the local aristocratic family will not care about it, and it is not a valuable thing, who would care about such things?
But there was one unlucky guy, the one who was hacking, somehow ran to the grave of Li Chong's mother.

Then a few axes directly cut down a tree that was not considered lush. This movement naturally alarmed Li Chong who was filial to his mother.

When Li Chong rushed over with his sword in his hand, the man foolishly thought that Li Chong, a dutiful son, had misunderstood his movements too much.

While tidying up the trees he had just cut down, he kept apologizing to Li Chong, saying that he made too much noise and hoped that the other party would not be offended.

As a result, those words of apology were left unsaid.
"Pfft~"

After a muffled sound, Li Chong directly gave this guy a heart-warming blow.

A good life just died here. In the hands of Li Chong.

The villager couldn't believe it until he died. He didn't die from this natural disaster, he didn't die in the fist-sized icy rain, he didn't die in the sudden flood, he didn't die in the earth dragon turning over.

He didn't even die under the exorbitant taxes, oppression, or imperial corvee.

He actually died on the body of a tree!
He actually cut down a tree by himself, and then he was directly stabbed to death
He still couldn't figure out why, since he and him were neither relatives nor relatives, let alone the slightest bit of enmity, why should he!
But Li Chong went to the government office immediately after beheading him. Not only did he admit that he had killed the man, but he also explained his reasons clearly and righteously!
"This thief knows the trees above my mother's grave, they are the trees that shelter my mother from the heat and wind and rain.

He cut down the tree above my mother's head, which not only disturbed my mother's cleanliness, but also made my mother only exposed to the wind and sun, and the rain was coming!

This is a mortal enmity, I have no regrets if I kill him today! "

When those words were spoken, the tone seemed to bring everyone back to the time when he drove his wife out of the house.

That bursting tone, that firm look, seemed to make everyone think that this guy is really just.
To kill someone is to pay with one's life!

But the filial piety of the big man is higher than all etiquette, and Li Chong's words coincide with filial piety.

Coupled with the previous events and Li Chong's reputation, this time the matter was finally settled.

It is of course unacceptable for the family members of the deceased.

But Li Chong directly brought out his late mother, which made everyone unable to find any reason to refute.

The dead are the oldest, and filial piety is the first. This word of filial piety is something that this guy can play clearly.
And after this incident, it is true that many people started to think differently about Li Chong
