Kyoto seems to be boiling.
The people of Kyoto simply feel that this autumn is completely different from the past, with a dazzling array of stories that have never been seen before.
Mr. Li used fireworks to blow up the prime minister's house for the second time.
Immediately afterwards, it was reported that the Jiangnan tax grain was robbed by bandits in Shilipo!
Before I had time to digest this news, I heard that Mr. Li had beaten Ji Xiang in the imperial study room!
I heard that Master Xiao Li beat Ji Tai until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen in front of the emperor. Not only did the old guy vomit three more mouthfuls of blood, he was also pushed to the ground by Master Xiao Li and stamped on him twice!
It's a pity that the old guy is a bastard and he is still not dead.
The news spread like wildfire, and for a time, Mr. Li transcended the category of poetry immortal and became a god among the people.
It is said that he is specially here to deal with those ghosts and monsters!
Didn't you see that all the officials in the court seemed to have lost their arrogance in the past? They all seemed to have their tails between their legs and became extremely low-key.
The streets suddenly disappeared from the rambling carriages, and even the usually menacing bearers who carried the sedans lowered their heads and even gave way.
For a time, the teahouse and restaurant were full of rumors about the eldest son of the emperor.
Obviously, the common people were far more concerned about the prince's violent beating of Prime Minister Ji than the robbery of taxes and grain——
If taxes and grain are robbed, the government will naturally send troops to snatch it back, or it may end in vain like last year.
But the high-ranking Prime Minister Ji, who had done all kinds of bad things, was defeated in the hands of Mr. Li, which made people feel even more happy.
Li Chenan didn't know this.
In the past two days, he was the one who took Su Muxin to the Imperial City Division and threw it to Wang Zheng Jinzhong yesterday. After that, he returned to Yunji Bieye and did not go out for two days.
He is very busy.
Busy with the door closed.
He took Zhou Huairen and Zhao Dazhu to a small courtyard far away from the main courtyard, and the three of them were making fireworks non-stop.
The door god Amu is guarding the door of this small courtyard holding his sword.
Without Li Chenan's permission, his knife would not let anyone in.
It wasn't until evening that Li Chenan walked out tired and dusty.
Because, tonight, the emperor is hosting a banquet in the palace.
Tomorrow, the emperor will leave Kyoto and go to Changle Palace.
Yesterday morning, Qi Zhixue came to Yunji Bieye and gave him a message, which made him feel a little uneasy, so he was holding two egg-sized fireworks in his hand.
"do not worry."
Seeing the worried expression on Zhongli Ruoshui's face, Li Chenan grinned and raised the two gadgets in his hands, but Zhongli Ruoshui patted the ashes on his body and said:
"Although this thing is powerful, if you get too close, it will hurt the enemy as well as yourself... Go wash up, I asked Xue'er to prepare hot water."
"Well, don't worry. After all, a tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds. What's more, even if I'm not a son, even if he is really using me, he hasn't achieved his goal yet."
Zhongli Ruoshui pondered for a moment, "I went to the Hou Mansion today and told grandma exactly what you told me. Grandma agreed. The Shenwu Army will be ready and will cooperate with you. But grandma said You have time to go to the Hou Mansion these two days, she has something she wants to talk to you about."
"good."
Li Chenan took a bath, changed into the clothes Zhongli Ruoshui had made for him, and said goodbye to Zhongli Ruoshui. He took Zhou Shiba and left Yunshui Bieye in the carriage driven by An Zizai, heading towards the palace.
…
…
Royal palace and harem.
Baihua Palace.
Concubine Li changed into white linen clothes, looked at her daughter sitting opposite, and sighed slightly in her heart.
The sixth princess, Ning Shuyu, still wore a hijab, her eyes full of resentment and a vicious look.
"Mother and concubine, what does the father mean?"
"Even if he didn't know that Meiyuan was his daughter's future Prince Consort's Mansion before, his daughter told him later, but he didn't change his mind. Seeing that Meiyuan really belongs to Li Chenan!"
"This is nothing."
"Li Chenan has been disrespectful to Prime Minister Ji over and over again... Even if he throws away his identity as Prime Minister, there is still Concubine Ji in the harem!"
"After all, he is also a relative of the emperor. According to folk rules, he is the father-in-law of the emperor, and the emperor is his half-son!"
"How could he let Li Chenan humiliate Prime Minister Ji like this?"
"Even if Li Chenan is really Empress Lu's son, this goes beyond the rules. He is neither big nor small, how can he be decent?"
"Father, he...has he changed too much in these years? It is really, really hard for my daughter to understand!"
Concubine Li was still smiling and had been patiently listening to Ning Shuyu's dissatisfaction before speaking:
"In the Tian family, there is no such thing as a son-in-law! There are only kings and ministers!"
"Besides, Concubine Ji is not in a hurry. Why are you in a hurry?"
Ning Shuyu was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath, "My daughter feels unhappy!"
"Just for Plum Garden?"
"It's not all...it's just that I can't see him, Li Chenan, being so arrogant!"
The corners of Concubine Li's mouth slowly raised and she looked at Ning Shuyu lovingly.
"If you think about it carefully, what's the grudge between you and Li Chen'an?"
"Even if it's the Huo family, in Guangling City, the Huo family and the Li family can even be said to have nothing to do with each other!"
"One is a merchant in Guangling, and the other is from a scholarly family. They can't even hit you!"
"Let's talk about that boy Shufan. He had some festivals with Li Chenan in Guangling City. But think about it again, are those festivals impossible to live through?"
"Mom, tell me something you don't want to hear."
"Now Li Chenan, I'm afraid he has long forgotten those things in the past. Because those were small things, but what he is going to do now has become a big thing!"
"He may even have forgotten the name Huo Shufan!"
Concubine Li took a deep breath and said seriously:
"Mom once took you and your brother to Dongshan."
"Dongshan is very high and Qishuiyuan is huge."
“Only by standing on the top of Dongshan Mountain can you overlook the entire Qishuiyuan!”
"But you can't see clearly the grass on Qishuiyuan!"
"Because those who climb to the top of the mountain want a broad view, and not let their eyes fall on a blade of grass!"
"Mom doesn't dislike Shufan for being just a piece of grass. Grass has its own benefits. Spring comes, autumn comes and dries up, and spring comes again next year... In this way, although it is ordinary, you don't have to worry about wind and rain, and you can enjoy worry-free years."
"You kid, you're still too young-minded. What mother hopes is that you can live a peaceful life."
"As for Li Chenan, he is climbing a mountain. As for where he can go... I don't know."
"But I hope you can just stand on Qishuiyuan and watch his back quietly! Never go to the Prime Minister's Mansion again and do those stupid things that you think are smart, but may bring you endless disasters! "
Concubine Li's last words were quite serious.
But Ning Shuyu couldn't understand Concubine Li's good intentions.
"So my father is hosting a banquet tonight. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the second emperor brother and my elder brother are all attending. Li Chenan is also attending. Does this mean that I really have an extra eldest brother?"
Concubine Li pondered for a moment, "Isn't it great that you just treat him as your eldest brother?"
