"Okay, is there anything else? If not, your dad and I have to take a rest. I taught Longque this kind of yoga today, but I'm exhausted."
Li Baiyi looked at his father up and down, but couldn't see where he was tired, so he couldn't help but mocked: "Dad, you are a general, how can you be tired after just such a short time?"
"I still have something to tell you. Do you know what I have done in the past two days?"
Li Xiao glanced at him, rolled his eyes and said, "Do I still know? This matter has spread throughout the capital. I already knew it from my servants."
"How on earth did you manage to make those guys so embarrassed?"
As Li Xiao spoke, his whole body was dancing with joy: "Let me tell you, your father and I were very excited when I heard about it. Your father and I have never made them so embarrassed. You kid Your father is so embarrassed."
"Dad, those civil servants were so abominable. I had to do it as a last resort. They made the entire court a mess. His Majesty was furious, so he captured them, but only a few of them were captured."
Li Xiao smiled and said nonchalantly: "Although there are only a few people, it has a strong deterrent effect on them. They are not stupid."
"Especially your method of rectifying the government. I heard from someone sent by His Majesty that he admired it very much and asked you to work hard."
Li Baiyi was stunned when he heard this and said: "His Majesty sent someone here?"
Li Xiao nodded, seeming to be very proud: "That's right, His Majesty sent someone here to praise you. To be honest, to receive such praise from His Majesty, you have not insulted our Duke." The reputation of the government has been ruined.”
Li Baiyi shrugged and said: "Dad, haven't I ruined the reputation of the Zhenguo Palace in the past few years? I have been a loser for so many years."
"People will definitely gossip about how useless your son is."
Li Xiao had a straight face and said, "What's wrong with my son being a dandy? I've worked hard for half my life just to make my son's life easier. You should be a dandy."
"Originally, dad didn't have high hopes for you. As long as you can live a good life, dad will be satisfied."
"But since you are so successful now, dad is very happy."
Li Baiyi was still a little touched in his heart, and then he felt a little embarrassed that the two father and son were facing each other in tears, and immediately said: "Dad, it was really fun for me to deal with these ministers on the city gate tower this time, but there is one thing that I feel is a little weird. .”
Li Xiao came back to his senses and said, "What's the matter? Tell me about it."
Li Baiyi looked confused and said: "That's right, the Eighth Prince didn't go at all this time. I don't know what he did."
"If he was there at that time and was slapped in the face by me in public, I'm afraid it would be impossible for him to compete for the crown prince's position in the future."
Li Xiao took a deep breath and nodded. He also felt that this matter seemed a bit strange: "What you said makes sense. Did you find out where the eighth prince went?"
Li Baiyi sighed: "No, I haven't had time to check it yet, and the manpower under me doesn't support me to check it."
As he said that, his eyes lit up and he said, "But I'm not worried. With Dad and His Majesty's intelligence system, I just need to compare it with the information you got."
Li Xiao nodded: "This eighth prince must be guarded against. This guy must be harboring evil intentions. Since he covets the throne, he will definitely use dirty tricks."
Li Baiyi said nonchalantly: "It's not like he hasn't used dirty tricks before, but I've cracked them all before."
Li Xiao shook his head: "This is different. You were all still young before, and the prince was not obsessed with this position, so the eighth prince would not do anything too great, but it is different now."
"First of all, you have all grown up, and it is time for the prince to inherit the throne. Secondly, with you as an anomaly around the prince, the eighth prince will definitely be worried and want to speed up the action."
"He definitely wants to get the crown prince's position before the crown prince and His Majesty can make a comeback."
"In this case, both you and the prince are in danger, which is why you are being targeted much more than before."
"In the past, you could still hide behind your father, and no one could hurt you. But in the future, it will be hard to say. You have to be more responsible for what you do."
Li Baiyi nodded and had no objection to this: "Dad, what do you think this eighth prince is doing? Does he have any other conspiracy? Should I be more careful?"
Li Xiao frowned and pondered for a moment, then said: "This guy must have other ideas, but don't worry, Prime Minister Guo is not in the court, no matter how big a fuss they make, they can't make a difference."
Li Baiyi said doubtfully: "Why, those civil servants are full of bad ideas, they can't do anything."
"Although Prime Minister Guo is not in the court, the forces and connections under him are all there."
Li Xiao said with a mocking expression: "Although his power is still there, no one can use all of it, so it's not in vain."
Li Baiyi nodded and suddenly thought of a person: "That Huo Bai seems to have some ability and can mobilize some people, so he should be careful."
Li Xiao's eyes flashed: "This guy is second only to Prime Minister Guo. You must have felt that he also has some prestige among civil servants. It's just that Prime Minister Guo didn't show him off."
Li Baiyi's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Dad, you said that the Eighth Prince didn't show up. Was it because of Huo Bai's instigation?"
Li Xiao thought for a while and nodded: "It is possible, but my father will give you a group of people to protect you and listen to your orders. If you have any ideas, just go for it. In the face of absolute strength, any Even monsters and demons cannot be brought to the stage."
Li Baiyi said with a smile: "Thank you, dad. You're welcome. I really need people now. I'm just a county magistrate dedicated to the county, but I have a lot to do."
"When can I go and lie down? As the son of the Duke of Zhenguo, it is so difficult to get along in the capital."
Li Xiao said with a straight face: "You kid, don't mention this matter to me. Your Majesty will hear it. Be careful of him dealing with you."
Li Baiyi said indifferently: "Dad, His Majesty is not here, why don't you let me complain?"
"If he hadn't pushed me too hard, I wouldn't have caused such a big thing,"
