Changsun Mansion.
In the accounting room.
Li Ziye and King Zhongwu met formally for the first time. After a few words of greeting, King Zhongwu stopped talking in depth and prepared to leave.
"Okay, I still have things to deal with, so I will go ahead, Feng Yu, to entertain Mr. Li." Before leaving, King Zhongwu deliberately warned.
"yes."
The eldest grandson Fengyu responded respectfully.
King Zhongwu then left and returned to his study.
Li Ziye also felt a little relieved.
Facing a strong man of this level, he still felt some pressure after all.
"I will seriously consider the method Mr. Li just mentioned, and then formulate corresponding rules to implement it."
After his brother left, the eldest grandson Nanqiao looked at the young man in front of him and said calmly, "Master Li, don't worry. Since the eldest grandson's family has taken over this matter, they will definitely keep the price of charcoal down."
"Thank you very much."
Li Ziye said sternly, "I hope Sister Nan Qiao can implement this matter as soon as possible, so that next time I meet those people, I will feel confident when I speak."
"Don't worry, Mr. Li."
The eldest grandson Nanqiao smiled and said, "I will definitely not let Mr. Li lose face in front of the people."
"Thank you!"
Li Ziye responded and did not intend to stay any longer. He stood up and said goodbye, "Your Majesty, Sister Nan Qiao, it's getting late and I have to go back."
"I'll send Professor Li to study."
Changsun Fengyu immediately stood up and said.
On the side, the eldest grandson Nanqiao looked surprised, why is this boy so proactive today?
"Um."
Li Ziye nodded, did not refuse, and immediately walked outside.
The eldest grandson Fengyu followed suit and left the accounting room together.
"Your Majesty, do you have anything to say?"
On the way outside the mansion, Li Ziye spoke and asked.
"Professor Li is really smart."
The eldest grandson Fengyu said seriously, "I want to ask Professor Li something, and I hope that Professor Li can answer truthfully."
"Your Majesty, please speak." Li Ziye responded.
"Does Li Jiaoxi know that the oiran Yu Qingxuan belongs to the eldest prince?" the eldest grandson Fengyu said seriously.
"I know." Li Ziye nodded.
"oh?"
After hearing this, the eldest grandson Fengyu had a strange look on his face and continued, "Does Mr. Li know that you were ambushed by the Blackwater Army on your way back to Yuzhou City? Who is the real mastermind behind this?"
"Guess some."
Li Ziye said calmly, "But there is no substantial evidence."
"It turns out that Professor Li has already guessed it, so I won't say any more. Professor Li should be more careful." Changsun Fengyu said seriously.
"Thank you for the reminder, Your Majesty."
Li Ziye said softly, then walked out of the palace, got on the carriage and left.
In front of the house.
Changsun Fengyu looked at the carriage going away, with a little light flashing in his eyes.
This third young master of the Li family is really too smart.
Soon, the eldest grandson Fengyu came to his senses and turned back to his house.
Not long after, the backyard study.
The eldest grandson Fengyu walked in and saluted respectfully, "Father."
"Remind him?"
In the study, King Zhongwu looked at the military book in his hand and asked casually.
"He didn't say it clearly, he already guessed it." Changsun Fengyu replied.
"Um?"
King Zhongwu put down the military book in his hand, narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that I have underestimated this son."
"Father, I don't understand why he didn't use Yu Qingxuan to win over the third son of the Li family, but instead wanted to kill him?" the eldest grandson Fengyu asked in confusion.
"How can a brothel courtesan win over the third son of the Li family?"
King Zhongwu said calmly, "As for why the father insisted on putting the third son of the Li family to death, I don't know yet."
"Unexpectedly, King Jiuyou, who has always been only loyal to His Majesty, also participated in the dispute over the inheritance." Changsun Fengyu said with emotion.
"loyalty."
King Zhongwu sighed softly and said, "There is no absolute loyalty in the world, it is just driven by interests."
Not to mention the minister, the current His Majesty in Fengtian Palace, has never believed in anyone's loyalty.
Even if they are parents and children, in the eyes of His Majesty, aren't they just like chess pieces?
royal palace.
Shou'an Hall.
The coals crackled.
Emperor Shang was sitting on the couch, with a chess table in front of him.
"Your Majesty, King Jiuyou has arrived."
At this time, a young eunuch walked in quickly and saluted respectfully.
"Let him in."
Shang Huang said while playing chess.
"yes!"
The little eunuch took the order and turned to leave.
Not long after.
King Jiuyou, who was dressed in an azure python suit, entered the palace and saluted respectfully, "I have met your Majesty."
"Get up, sit down!"
Emperor Shang said without even raising his head.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
King Jiuyou stood up, walked to the chess table and sat down.
"When did it happen?" Shang Huang said calmly.
King Jiuyou hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully, "Half a year ago."
"What did he promise?"
Emperor Shang continued to ask while making his move.
"The leader of the Martial King, one person is inferior to ten thousand people." King Jiuyou responded.
"Quite sincere."
Emperor Shang nodded and said, "But it's difficult."
"He said he could stand up!" King Jiuyou said solemnly.
When Emperor Shang heard this, he paused his hand and said with a flash of light in his eyes, "If this is really the case, I can give him a chance."
"Your Highness will be very grateful to you when you hear this." King Jiuyou said softly.
"However, you didn't do your job well."
Emperor Shang Luozi said calmly, "It's not just you, you didn't do well this time."
King Jiuyou remained silent and made no excuses.
What His Majesty means is that he, King Xuanwu, and the two princes behind him are unable to deal with the Li family, which is really disadvantageous.
"Just a reminder."
Emperor Shang said calmly, "The Fourth Brother is also determined to fight. Your chances are running out."
King Jiuyou heard this and his expression was shocked. Has His Highness changed his mind?
"Your Majesty, do you still like the Fourth Highness?"
After a while, King Jiuyou suppressed the waves in his heart and asked.
"There are opportunities."
Emperor Shang said indifferently, "However, the fourth child is the daughter of the empress and is my legitimate son. It is legitimate for him to inherit the throne. If he does well, I have no reason not to choose him. Therefore, if you want to compete, you must work harder." That’s all.”
When King Jiuyou heard this, his expression changed again and again.
This is really the worst news. The reason why the four heirs have always been indifferent is because the four princes do not compete.
Just as the name suggests, these four words are sometimes more useful than imagined.
If this continues, the chances of the person behind him will become smaller and smaller.
Just when Emperor Shang summoned King Jiuyou.
Southeast of the capital.
The carriage rumbled up.
In the courtyard.
The eldest prince, Mu Yuan, was sitting in a wheelchair. He looked at the woman in front of him and asked with a calm expression, "How is the piano teaching going lately?"
"The princess is very talented and learns quickly." Yu Qingxuan said respectfully.
"Well done."
A smile appeared on Mu Yuan's face and he said, "Since the princess is willing to learn, you should teach her well."
"yes!"
Yu Qingxuan responded softly.
"Has the third young master of the Li family been here recently?" Mu Yuan asked casually.
"I haven't been here for some days." Yu Qingxuan replied.
When Mu Yuan heard this, he frowned slightly. He was about to say something, but was interrupted.
"Your Highness."
At this moment, outside the small courtyard, the eunuch Zhao Jie walked quickly and said respectfully, "Someone is coming."
"Let's go." Mu Yuan suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and said calmly.
"yes!"
Zhao Jie took the order and pushed the wheelchair out of the small courtyard.
The two had just left not long ago.
In front of the small courtyard,
The carriage stopped and Li Ziye stepped out.
