Li Xiao stood on the high platform, looking at the backs of Li Baiyi, the prince and others leaving. He couldn't help blowing his beard and staring in anger. This kid was getting more and more outrageous. He just left without fighting with his father. Say hello?
"Look at the direction this kid is going. Chunfeng Tower is over there. Is this kid going to Chunfeng Tower again?"
"This kid is really itchy. Aren't you afraid that Concubine Xi will let him continue to stand for punishment?"
Li Xiao couldn't help but feel frightened when he thought of Concubine Xi's weird punishment method.
Concubine Xi is probably very good at teasing people, and every time she uses new methods to tease people, it makes people laugh or cry.
Li Xiao came back to his senses and suddenly became energetic: "My son looks like a weakling. There is no future in martial arts. I didn't expect that he would be like Wen Quxing who descended to the earth, and now he showed his face. "
Thinking that his son was so awesome, Li Xiao's demeanor became formal. He saw a general under his command riding a horse in the distance to report, and then he came back to his senses.
"General, there are refugees in the southern county town of Zhixian who are trying to grab food from the landlord Lao Cai. The two sides clashed and dozens of people died."
When Li Xiao heard this, his eyes turned green: "What, the conflict is so big, are these refugees rebelling?"
The subordinate shook his head and said: "General, it's hard to say. It is said that the conflict was very fierce. All the refugees were desperate for their lives. The landlord and his servants were all dead. Even the landlord and his boss had their heads cut off."
"After these refugees robbed the food, they didn't cook and eat it on the spot. They even got carts from nowhere and pushed the food away."
Li Xiao suddenly smelled a conspiracy: "It seems that these refugees are not real refugees, but someone is causing trouble."
"Okay, I know this, general. You should lead your troops immediately and go to suppress the riots of the refugees. Remember to bring more, so don't let your brothers suffer because you don't have enough people."
"Also, the refugees who are making trouble must be found and the food recovered. During this disaster relief, the refugees are short of food and water, so no food can be wasted."
"It's the general."
His men immediately stood up and left. Li Xiao looked at the people gradually dispersing around him with an ugly look on his face.
"The prince is in charge of the disaster relief now. His Majesty has given this task to the prince. If someone takes advantage of the refugees to make trouble, it must be someone who the prince does not want to deal with. Could it be him?"
"There won't be any big trouble this time, right?"
"These sons of bitches have no regard for the lives of ordinary people and will do anything for power."
Li Xiao couldn't help but feel a bad feeling when he thought that his son was now so close to the prince, and that he could be said to have stepped half-foot into the vortex of power struggle.
"I hope nothing goes wrong with this kid, otherwise I will be dead."
Wang Xuanfeng took Concubine Xi's hand into the carriage. On the way back to the palace, Concubine Xi couldn't help but ask about Wang Xuanfeng's arrangements for Li Baiyi.
"Your Majesty, why did you arrange for Li Baiyi to be sent to the Imperial Academy? Can he do it?"
Wang Xuanfeng said with a smile: "Why not? Isn't this kid awesome? I just want him to go to the Imperial Academy to kill him with a sense of vigor."
"Those old scholars are like a pool of stagnant water. If this kid enters the Imperial College, he will either make the Imperial College a mess, or he will become just like those old fellows in the Imperial College. Which one do you think is more likely? "
Concubine Xi rolled her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I am telling you the truth, don't you just want these scholars to move their muscles?"
"With Guo Wentian running away, this group of literati seems to have lost its backbone. No one dares to go against Liu Yuan. It's simply outrageous. It's as if the Dakun literary world has become his Guo family."
"Your Majesty wants to use this boy Li Baiyi to stir up the muddy waters among scholars. It would be best to divide these people into several groups and divide and conquer them, right?"
When Wang Xuanfeng heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "My dear wife, I saw it well. I didn't expect that this would not escape your eyes."
Concubine Xi snorted: "Your Majesty, doing this may be effective, but it is a bit unfair to this guy Li Baiyi."
"Those veterans of the Imperial Academy don't dare to confront Guo Wentian, and your Majesty has nothing to do with Guo Wentian."
"You are going to let such a young boy touch Guo Wentian's brow. Aren't you afraid that if this boy makes a mistake, that bastard Li Xiao will prevent you from getting off the stage?"
"This bastard started messing around but didn't care."
When Wang Xuanfeng heard this, he couldn't help but look embarrassed. Of course he knew what Concubine Xi said was true.
But now, he can only do this, there is no other way.
"That's the only way it can be now. Most scholars in the world consider themselves to be Guo Wentian's disciples. Now I'm afraid only Li Baiyi can open up the situation."
"It's not that I can't touch Guo Wentian, I just don't want to have too bad an impact on the world's scholars."
"Although it is an expedient measure to let the boy Li Baiyi deal with them, it is the most suitable. Guo Wentian is probably not his opponent in a paper fight. If Guo wants to play tricks or use force."
Having said this, Wang Xuanfeng's face suddenly showed an aura of looking down on the world.
"If this old boy dares to do this, and if Li Xiao can't deal with him, I will take action. Anyway, this boy will be fine."
...
Just after returning to Huachi Palace, Wang Xuanfeng and Concubine Xi had just had a sip of hot tea, when Eunuch Cao walked in from outside, holding a document in his hand.
"Your Majesty, Madam, the Duke of Zhenguo has sent word that refugees are causing trouble in the county town of Zhixian. The refugees fought with the landlord's servants, and hundreds of people were killed or injured."
When Wang Xuanfeng heard this, he couldn't help but slapped the table, stood up and said, "These refugees have rebelled against heaven. Who gave them such boldness?"
Concubine Xi pulled his sleeve and said, "Your Majesty."
Wang Xuanfeng was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses: "Is this someone deliberately giving the prince a hard time?"
"Well, there is a possibility. If you do this, both the prince and Li Xiao will be affected."
Mr. Xi had an idea: "Your Majesty, it is important to save people right now. If these refugees wait for one day, many more people may starve to death."
"Since the prince, Li Xiao and others are disrupting the disaster relief work, we will replace the disaster relief work with others. As for the things that are hindering the disaster, we will investigate slowly. As long as someone does something, the fox's tail will be exposed sooner or later."
Wang Xuanfeng thought for a while, nodded and said: "What my concubine said makes sense. The prince's experience is still too little. Let Lao Ba do this matter. If he wants to compete for this credit, he should not do too much. Difference."
"As for that bastard Li Xiao, since so many refugees have been causing trouble this time, let him rest at home for a month and calm down."
