"Farewell, old man."
"Master Shen, go slowly."
…
After sending Prime Minister Shen away, Li Yi went back to the courtyard and sat down.
Shen Xiang came here today not to discuss the philosophical issue of "Zi Fei Yu" with him.
Li Xuan is stubborn and does things only with enthusiasm, but as a scientist, he has a very important characteristic, persistence.
Persevere until you hit the south wall without looking back, and continue to stride forward after hitting the south wall.
When the first emperor was in power, he was not arbitrary. Most of the time, he would discuss with the courtiers and take into account the opinions of the important officials in the court; Can't change his mind either.
In the past, he was the eldest son, and there was King Ning, and the former emperor could restrain him. Now that he is the emperor, the whole world belongs to him, so no one can restrain him.
If the clan and courtiers had been in such a stalemate with him, if nothing unexpected happened, Li Xuan must be the one who persisted until the end.
And Li Yi himself was pushed to the front by him.
But this cannot be blamed on him, he has never had so many twists and turns in his work, if the courtiers felt that he was suspicious of him, he would confer the title of prime minister, if the courtiers continued to suspect him, he would directly confer the title of king.
This is his attitude, simple and straightforward, slightly rude.
This is an approach that makes people angry, funny, and somewhat moving, even a little childish. Of course, it is not a good thing for such a childish appearance to appear on the king of a country.
In the courtyard, Xiaozhu and Xiaohuan Xiaocui were playing Cuju. Li Yi waved to her and said, "Xiaozhu, warm a pot of grape wine for me later."
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Xiaozhu passed the takraw ball to Xiaohuan, and trotted towards the kitchen. Li Yi thought for a while, and added: "Leave it a little less strong this time..."
Miss Liu Er was not at home, and no one could drink with him anymore. Li Yi drank by himself, thinking about what happened just now, and from the other direction, Ruyi looked away and said in a low voice: "Even if you are crowned king, Xianggong is still not happy... "
Ruo Qing looked worried, and said: "It seems like a great grace for him to be crowned king this time, but too much grace may not be a good thing. After His Majesty ascended the throne, the Li family has already made many people fearful. Once, the emperor's kindness is heavy, they will be more jealous, and the tree is more beautiful than the forest, which is not a good thing."
Ruyi showed a thoughtful look on her face, looked in that direction for a long time, and then said: "There is something I want to discuss with the two younger sisters."
She whispered a few words, a smile appeared on Zui Mo's face, and said, "But it's up to my sister to decide."
Ruoqing also nodded and said, "I will listen to my sister in everything."
Li Yi was thinking about things while drinking grape wine.
Before the late emperor died, he handed Mingzhu and Li Xuan to him, let him look at the court, look at the world, and then asked Changde to take care of Yongning and Shouning...
He is not his family's nanny, so why should he
At that time, why did he obsessively agree to take care of Yongning, Shouning, and Mingzhu? Let him take care of them all, which is a bit too much.
At first, he thought that a gentleman would say that a horse is hard to chase, so let’s just take care of him, but now, he wants to let Li Xuan sit in this position, the monarch and his ministers are in harmony, and the court is stable; he also wants to stay in the capital and look after the Li family for him. In this world, these two things are in conflict.
Until now, he has not thought of a suitable solution.
A trace of resentment rose in Li Yi's heart. The old emperor, the old emperor, did he lie to his daughter or what? Before he left, he still wanted to trick him...
He frowned, and reached for the flagon, but found nothing.
Ruyi picked up the jug, filled his glass, poured another glass for herself, looked at him, smiled and said, "I will drink two glasses with my husband."
Ruyi didn't drink alcohol on weekdays, and she never even drank grape wine. Except for the glass of wine that Li Yi stalked and made up for in the room one time, she never saw her take the initiative to drink it.
Li Yi clinked glasses with her in surprise, she took a sip, then looked at Li Yi and said, "There is something that I want to discuss with my husband."
Ruyi didn't talk to him with this tone and expression, Li Yi asked puzzled, "What's the matter?"
Ruyi looked at him and said, "I want to go out for a walk."
Li Yiwen was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said, "I'll go out for a walk with the lady."
"I don't mean outside the house." Ruyi shook her head and said, "I'm talking about outside the capital. After staying in this capital for so long, I'm a little bored. I want to be with my husband, so I bring Duan'er, Ruyi, Xiaohuan, and two younger sisters, the family went out for a few days to enjoy the mountains and rivers... The last time I went out with my husband was more than two years ago."
Ruyi seldom asks herself anything. Li Yi thought for a while, but didn't think for a long time. He nodded and said, "Okay."
The world is so big, if Yi wants to go out and have a look, he naturally wants to accompany her.
However, in this way, I am afraid that I will break my promise to promise the old emperor... Forget it, let's break my promise, at most, let him kick his feet to vent his anger the next time we meet...
He looked at Ruyi and asked, "Where does my lady want to go?"
"Master decides."
Li Yi nodded, and asked again: "Then when shall we leave?"
Ruyi thought for a while, and said, "Always allow some time to prepare, why not start next month."
There is still more than half a month until the beginning of next month, and there is enough time to prepare. Li Yi stood up and let out a long sigh of relief.
Going out this time, I'm afraid it will take a long time, some things have to be explained to the old lady, all the Goulan and shops in the capital must be properly arranged...
Goulan and shops have already formed a system, and he doesn't need to intervene too much, even if he leaves for a year or two, they can still operate normally, so there is no need to worry too much.
And where to go this time, I have to think about it again.
Li Yi sat in the courtyard thinking, and Second Miss Liu sat across from him carrying a small wine jar.
Miss Liu Er always used a bowl for drinking, Li Yi poured himself a bowl of wine and asked, "How is Liumeng doing recently?"
Miss Liu Er said casually, "It's the same as usual."
Li Yi asked again: "Is there news from the chaotic place?"
Miss Liu Er said calmly: "In the past two years, people from the Liumeng have been passing by, and they have laid down some territories, which can be regarded as some achievements."
If Ms. Liu Er can describe it as "some achievements", then it's not just some achievements.
When I was just passing by there at the beginning, I arranged a random thing without thinking about anything far-reaching, but now it can be regarded as an unexpected harvest.
Thinking of something, Li Yi suddenly asked, "Ruyi, is there any place you want to go in particular?"
"No." Second Miss Liu shook her head.
"Think about it carefully." Li Yi looked at her and said, "It's fine when you were a child. Is there any place you want to go, or something you want to do, ideals, etc..."
"When I was a child..."
Miss Liu Er thought for a while, looked at him, and asked, "Does becoming a bandit king count?"
"Forget it..." Li Yi was stunned for a moment, then looked at her, and murmured: "The Bandit King, it's just a coincidence..."
Miss Liu Er looked at him and asked, "Did you also want to be a bandit king when you were young?"
Li Yi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Almost..."
