My father Yongle, building a five-good family

Chapter 131 So Dad, you choose to be both sides?

Chapter 131 So Dad, you choose to be indecisive?

This statement is a bit roundabout.

At first, Zhu Gaoxu didn't react. But when he thought about it and realized what was going on, his face instantly turned green.

What do you mean?
Just as he was about to speak, Zhu Gaoyu on the other side also raised his voice:
"Your father passed through Datong this time in the name of border defense?"

When Li You talked about this, his expression flickered slightly, but soon, he returned to his second-generation rich appearance:
"Correct!"

These words immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

Zhu Gaoyu has a vague "precognitive" ability because of his memory. Even though the current situation has changed a lot, the general main line is still of great reference value.

He seemed to remember that, as far as he could remember, the first person whom Emperor Jianwen reduced the power of his vassal was not the King of Dai, but the King of Zhou.

However, this time, because Zhu Youjie was caught in advance, Emperor Jianwen no longer had a legitimate reason to take action against King Zhou, so he chose to take action against King Dai first.

And... as far as I can remember, when the attack on King Zhou was launched, Duke Cao also passed through Kaifeng in the name of border defense.

The reason why I passed through Datong now cannot be said to be similar, but it can be said to be exactly the same...

So when Li You said this, did he know what secrets he had leaked?

The brothers present looked at each other with strange expressions.

Zhu Gaoyu blinked his eyes. "Li You, did you come here on purpose to tell us this news?"

Li You was sipping tea leisurely at that time. He had a mouthful of tea in his mouth. After hearing Zhu Gaoyu's words, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of hot tea.

What kind of person is this little cousin?

So wild!
For things like this, isn't it enough that only heaven and earth know about it, only you and I know about it, and only everyone knows about it?
Why say it out loud!
But when he saw Zhu Gaoyu's short stature, Li You wiped his face and couldn't say a word of complaint.

Forgive him.

He's just a kid.

Zhu Gaochi saw that the atmosphere was getting weird, so as the eldest brother, he took the initiative to step forward to adjust the atmosphere:

"Okay, Old Four, don't butt in on adults' business. It's rare for our cousin to come visit us, so let's not talk about these unhappy things..."

Couldn't they discuss it secretly after Li You leaves?
Li You looked at Zhu Gaochi, then at Zhu Gaoyu, whose eyes were full of innocence, and waved his hand nonchalantly:
"My father told me to say that. I don't really like talking about this. Forget it, let's eat first. By the way, do you have any mixed dishes today? The last time I came to eat here, the cold dishes tasted good. Give me some more."

Zhu Gaochi: "..."

Not only Zhu Gaochi, but even Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, who had always been carefree, lost their mood to eat.

no……

Are you all so skilled at cheating?
Zhu Gaoxu spoke quietly:
"I said you wronged me. As the saying goes, those who keep company with ink become black. I am not the 'ink'. Zhu Gaoyu is the one who truly influenced Li You."

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui moved their lips, wanting to defend Xiao Si.

But Li You’s remarks that betrayed his father were still ringing in his ears.

This operation... is almost comparable to that of Zhu Gaoyu!
Seeing Li You and Zhu Gaoyu who had appeared at the dinner table swiftly, the three brothers looked at each other with complicated expressions.

have to.

They just couldn't figure this out.

But the first priority right now is to pass this news to Beijing, tell my father and see what specific arrangements he has made.

Zhu Gaochi was the crown prince of Prince of Yan. Even though Prince of Yan sometimes disliked him because of his body shape, he never disliked his wrists.

Although it was not convenient to talk about it in the letter, Zhu Gaoyu explained and exaggerated it. The brothers did not say anything openly, but they all had a feeling that a storm was about to come.

If the feudal system really needs to be reduced...how are these people supposed to leave Yingtian Prefecture?
Zhu Gaochi hid the worry in his eyes, and quickly adjusted his expression, smiling again, as if he didn't care about anything, with a simple and honest appearance. ...

That night.

When Li You left Prince Yan's Mansion with a big belly and returned to Duke Cao's Mansion.

The lights in Li Jinglong's yard were still on.

Li You turned and went into his father's study.

There was a squeak.

The door slowly opened.

Li Jinglong was sitting at the desk. When he heard footsteps, he said without raising his head:
"came back?"

Li You no longer had that stupid feeling he had during the day in Prince Yan's Mansion, and instead became much more normal.

He found a soft couch, kicked off his boots, and then sat cross-legged on the couch, leaning against it lazily:
"Dad, why did you ask me to go to Prince Yan's Mansion today and tell you about this matter? What are you planning to do?"

Li Jinglong glanced at his own kid. To be precise, the kid was not young at all, he was about fourteen or fifteen years old, and he had several concubines around him. He could be considered to be knowledgeable about human affairs.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't be stupid despite his age, but this kid has an awfully dull sense of smell sometimes.

Li Jinglong snorted: "All day long, he only knows how to eat, drink and sleep, and never thinks about the serious matters at all."

Li You was unhappy with what was said.

"Dad, do you think I'm really a fool? You asked me to say this just to sell out the King of Yan. But the current emperor wants you..."

"What do you want me for? Cousin? Close relative? Or a close minister?"

Li Jinglong knew at a glance what Li You wanted to say.

After he said this, he sneered.

"Son, remember this. In this world, there are only those who can be used and those who cannot be used. The decision to reduce the power of the feudal lords is almost a foregone conclusion. If your father does a good job, everyone will be happy. But what if I don't do a good job?"

"I think our emperor is still a little young after all. The counselors around him are indeed loyal, but they are all stupid because of reading too much. I, your father, feel... I don't know why, but I am always a little worried."

Li You was in the Imperial College, and his insight into the political affairs was certainly not as good as Li Jinglong's.

Therefore, he heard some of the words for the first time.

He suddenly thought of Zhu Gaoyu and imitated Zhu Gaoyu by blinking his eyes:
"So... Dad, in order to survive, you chose to be indecisive?"

Li Jinglong: “?”

Oh, I have grown up.

His son would use such words to provoke him.

Li Jinglong put down the wolf hair brush in his hand, stood up immediately, stretched his wrist and muscles, and slowly smiled.

Then he pulled out a bamboo pole from somewhere.

Alarm bells rang in Li You's mind.

A moment!

Rush out the door!

Second update. See you tomorrow
