Guanshan Prince's Mansion, main hall.
The young princess Wan Rongrong interceded for the Li family and offered tea instead of wine in order to resolve the grudges between the Buyi King and the Li family.
only.
Li Ziye rejected the young princess's request without hesitation.
From the perspective of the Commoner King, there is no room for discussion on this matter.
A new member of the imperial court has no interest in the Li family and is deeply favored by the emperor. All fools know what to choose.
Is he a fool? Obviously, no.
Across the tea table, Wan Rongrong put down the tea cup in his hand, his expression slightly gloomy.
After the little princess put down the tea cup, Li Ziye took his own tea cup and drank tea quietly.
To be honest, he was quite touched.
However, he was moved, and his plan would never change just because of a little princess.
The interests of the Li family are above all else.
Including his own emotions!
When necessary, his life can be compromised for the benefit of the Li family.
The Li family is not his Li family alone.
The tea tasted slightly bitter but sweet aftertaste. Li Ziye drank all the tea in the cup. On the side, Yu Qingxuan knelt down, picked up the teapot, and poured another cup of tea for his master.
At the scene, only Yu Qingxuan knew the identity of the master beside him, but he could not say anything and did not dare to say anything.
In the past, Mr. Li was kind, cynical, and kind to others in her eyes.
Now, in her eyes, the commoner king is cold, scheming, and cold-tempered.
To be honest, she couldn't tell whether Master Li was disguising or King Commoner was disguising.
However, she was certain that if she revealed even a single word of this secret, the stainless steel fan would definitely cut her throat immediately.
In the main hall, the atmosphere seemed a little depressed because of Li Ziye's slightly indifferent words.
"King Commoner, there are no outsiders here. You can speak openly."
King Guan Shan stared at the young man in front of him and took the initiative to say, "You and I are from the same commoner background. I think you still have the same views on many things."
"King Guanshan is the person I admired most when I was a child."
Li Ziye looked at the tea in the cup in front of him and said, "It is the dream of every great Shang Dynasty person to order troops on the battlefield and be crowned king in civilian clothes, and King Guanshan's success has given everyone a little hope, so King Guanshan You could say it was a guiding light for me.”
"The commoner king is too praised."
King Guanshan said calmly, "The current achievements of King Buyi have surpassed my own."
"different."
Li Ziye shook his head and said, "For me to be crowned king, my fortune must account for at least seven points. In terms of military merit alone, I am not even the slightest bit different from the prince."
"The Commoner King is too modest."
King Guanshan said sternly, "There is no doubt about Commoner King's military exploits. As for fortune, it is also a reflection of strength. Although heroes emerge in troubled times, the only person who can successfully crown the king in these troubled times is the Commoner King."
"The fortune I'm talking about is not just war. The situation in the court and His Majesty's thoughts are also indispensable aids."
Li Ziye said something, looked at Wan Rongrong across the tea table, and said, "Little princess, don't you understand why I keep targeting the Li family? There is no one else here, so I might as well tell you directly. , when His Majesty gives Yuzhou City to this king as a fiefdom, the relationship between this king and the Li family can only be enemies, not friends, and cannot be reconciled!"
Wan Rongrong seemed to understand something after listening to the words of the commoner king in front of him. He hesitated and asked, "There is one thing. Can the prince tell the truth about the poison on the third son of the Li family?"
"no."
Li Ziye shook his head and said, "There are no mediocre people in the Li family. Otherwise, why would it exist today? The little princess, the Li family, especially the Li family's legitimate son, are not as simple as you think. It's better to have less contact."
"I also feel that there is something fishy about that matter."
King Guan Shan sighed softly and said, "I have met the Li family's legitimate son once, but his mind is so unfathomable that even I can't understand him."
After saying that, King Guanshan looked at the daughter beside him with a very complicated expression.
To be honest, he was not optimistic that his daughter would be able to get together with the legitimate son of the Li family. The words "matched" did not only refer to family background and status.
What's more important is the mind.
Rong Rong and the legitimate son of the Li family are not from the same world at all.
It's a pity that he can't control Rongrong's thoughts. As a father, he can only help her with all his strength.
"Your Majesty."
Wan Rongrong listened to the words of the Buyi King and his father, and said softly, "I don't understand much about the affairs of the court. I want to know, will the prince take action against the Li family in the future?"
"meeting."
Li Ziye nodded without hesitation and replied, "I am now a sword in your majesty's hand. The fate of the Li family is ultimately your majesty's final decision. Of course, I don't want the Li family to fall so quickly. Otherwise, my value in His Majesty’s mind will be greatly reduced.”
"trickery."
When King Guan Shan heard this, he felt helpless and said with emotion, "We, the great King Wu of Shang, can't escape this fate."
"How can you escape from the mud and remain unstained when you are in the court?"
Li Ziye said calmly, "Take the grievance between me and Hai Qinggong as an example. If my utilization value was not higher than Hai Qinggong's, I would not have the current result when I beat up Jingmu yesterday."
At this point, Li Ziye picked up the tea in front of him and said, "Take it a step further. I and Duke Hai Qing had a grudge before we were crowned kings. In this case, why not make the matter bigger and make it more complicated?" Everyone knows that it cannot be suppressed any longer. In this way, His Majesty can also make up his mind to clean up the stubborn diseases in the court and kill two birds with one stone. Why not?"
"King Buyi had already thought of this before taking action yesterday?" King Guanshan narrowed his eyes and asked.
“Only by counting one step more than your opponent can you be amazed.”
Li Ziye did not deny it and responded, "This is also the reason why I make good use of strange weapons."
"sharp."
When King Guan Shan heard this, his face showed emotion and he said, "What King Buyi said today has opened my eyes."
"Excessive praise."
Li Ziye took a sip of tea and said, "How are you, little princess? Is this king's thoughts powerful?"
Wan Rongrong was silent. After a moment, he nodded and said, "Yes."
"Then I will tell you."
Li Ziye put down the tea cup in his hand and said, "The Li family's legitimate son is no less thoughtful than me. Even I am not sure that I can beat him. The last time he was poisoned, I let him eat it." It’s not a small loss, do you think this kind of scheming is more frightening?”
After hearing what the former said, Wan Rongrong's expression changed again and again.
"If you don't confront the enemy head-on, you won't be able to see the side of him that the world doesn't know. This is the scary thing about the legitimate son of the Li family."
Li Ziye stared at the girl in front of him and said calmly, "Little princess, please think twice about some things!"
