Li Yuanji, whom so many of him had wasted several months searching for, had actually appeared in his house long ago.
"Chengqian, it's late at night, you should go and rest first." Li Yuanji said to Li Chengqian beside him.
Although Li Chengqian was a little reluctant, he also knew that among these people, he did not have a good relationship with anyone.
Especially Zhao Chen in front of me.
Li Chengqian didn't say anything and just left the room.
Wei Zheng went out and closed the door, only Zhao Chen and three others were left in the room.
"That time I went to Chang'an. I originally wanted to see the changes in Chang'an over the years, but unexpectedly I met you, Zhao Chen, in Chang'an City."
"Over the years, even though I have not been in Chang'an, I have always paid attention to what's going on in Chang'an." At this point, Li Yuanji paused and glanced at Old Li Tou.
Old Li Tou naturally knew what Li Yuanji meant.
Li Yuanji paid attention to the news in Chang'an just to find an opportunity to make a comeback.
But since Li Yuanji has always had such a plan, why has there been no movement?
"I originally thought that if I had the chance, I would avenge myself back then."
"Trample my good second brother under your feet." Li Yuanji looked at Li Shimin with a cold and stern voice.
After a moment, he suddenly smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Until you, Zhao Chen, appeared, the Tang Dynasty underwent earth-shaking changes, the family was destroyed, and the second brother completely took control of the court."
"Compared with promoting agriculture and commerce, building bridges and paving roads, the Tang Dynasty has a completely different look than three years ago."
"At that moment, I was thinking, even if I succeed in rebelling one day, will the people of the world support me?"
"Handling political affairs has never been my strong point. How can I do it better than my second brother?"
"Later I entered the Zhao Mansion. Although I looked ugly, I knew that no one in the Zhao Mansion looked at me differently."
"Those little guys in the academy are also very respectful to me. You know, they are the most top-notch dudes in Chang'an City."
"When I see them, I know that the next generation of Datang will be better than our generation."
"So, even if I avenge my past, what's the point?"
"What do you think, second brother?" Li Yuanji's voice slowly sounded in the room.
This last call of "Second Brother" made Lao Litou's heart tremble.
Old Li Tou didn't know how to answer Li Yuanji at this moment. He just smiled bitterly and said: "They are the hope of the future of the Tang Dynasty."
The room fell into silence.
Zhao Chen sat aside and didn't know what to say to the two of them at this moment.
Neither of their brothers knew how to resolve what happened back then.
How could he, an outsider, get in the way?
"What are your plans next? Are you going back to Chang'an with me, or staying here?" After a long time, Old Li Tou looked at Li Yuanji.
In his heart, he wanted Li Yuanji to follow him back to Chang'an.
Li Yuanji is the only remaining brother around him.
Since the death of the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, the emperor has not spoken his true feelings to others for an unknown amount of time.
If it were Li Yuanji...
"I remember that Zhao Chen mentioned a pension insurance plan a few days ago." Li Yuanji did not answer what Old Li Tou said, but his eyes fell on Zhao Chen.
"Yes, it was rejected by the court." Zhao Chen nodded.
It didn’t say that it was vetoed by Li Tai.
"Thirty percent of the population in Lujiang City are elderly. In the next ten to twenty years, the number will be even greater."
"If possible, I hope that pension insurance can be launched first in Lujiang City." Li Yuanji said these things that had nothing to do with Old Li's question.
Zhao Chen looked at Old Li Tou.
At the beginning, he was only responsible for giving opinions. As for Li Tai's idea of directly denying it, Zhao Chen didn't care.
Anyway, any loss is not his, Zhao Chen's.
"If you are interested in this thing, follow me back to Chang'an. It's up to you to do whatever you want." Old Li Tou and Li Yuanji said.
In order to let Li Yuanji follow him back to Chang'an, he seemed to be ignoring everything.
"I'm just talking. If Zhao Chen's fantastic idea can be realized, the people of the Tang Dynasty will be able to support themselves in old age."
"As for returning to Chang'an, second brother looks at me every day, won't he think of what happened back then?" Li Yuanji looked at Li Shimin and said lightly.
Lao Litou looked blank and couldn't say a word.
"It's late at night. Let's go to the yard next door and spend the night there. You still have things to deal with in Yingzhou." Li Yuanji waved his hand and issued an eviction order.
…
"Boy Zhao, how successful was the suppression of bandits in Tianzhu Mountain?"
At night, Lao Litou didn't feel sleepy at all.
He was now thinking about how to get Li Yuanji to return to Chang'an District with him.
"Normally, but early tomorrow morning, Wei Ting will probably bring soldiers from Yingzhou Zhechong Prefecture over."
"Have a good rest, conserve your energy, and prepare to run tomorrow." Zhao Chen said casually while lying on the hay.
The emperor did not respond.
Wei Ting wasn't worried, he was just a fish in the desert and could only jump around a few times.
"Yuanji doesn't want to go back to Chang'an with me, what can you do?" Old Li Tou and Zhao Chen asked.
"Why are you so persistent? Li Yuanji's life here is quite good."
"Or do you really want to kill him to death? Well, let me say..."
"Fart, why did I mean that?" Lao Li looked angry.
Others didn't understand what he was thinking, but Zhao Chen actually pretended not to understand?
"If you say you didn't mean it, others will believe it?"
"Just talking about it is not very convincing." Zhao Chen turned over, thinking that he had also found Li Yuanji.
Should I set off back to Chang'an tomorrow?
Counting the days now, by the time I return to Chang'an, Li Ruoshuang will have given birth.
Just in time to catch up.
"Boy Zhao, if you don't help me find a way, I won't return to Chang'an."
"Whenever Yuan Ji goes back with me, I will go back." Old Li Tou said to Zhao Chen.
He clearly understood what Zhao Chen was thinking.
"Whether you love me back or not, I don't have the money to see if I don't starve you to death." Zhao Chen said calmly with his back to the emperor.
"You!" Lao Li clenched his fists.
If he had known today, he would never have thought of taking advantage of Zhao Chen.
Now he is still being manipulated by this boy Zhao Chen.
"It's easy to ask Li Yuanji to go back with you, but you just need to make him believe that you really want him to go back to Chang'an to recuperate."
"Then what do you think about letting Yuanji live at your place?"
"I think Yuan Ji just wants to trust you. You can be my guarantee. As long as he is willing to return to Chang'an, I will let him live in your house."
"Are you crazy?"
"If you live in my house, it doesn't matter if you didn't know he was Li Yuanji at the time. Now that you know he is Li Yuanji, what will the courtiers think?" Zhao Chen sat up and looked at the emperor.
Not to mention that Li Yuanji has many enemies.
A street is half a street, right?
If you let him live in your house, do you still want to have a peaceful life in the future?
"If I don't tell you, then I'll go out."
"I let him go back, I just hope he can live a better life in the future."
"If you are willing, we will set off back to Chang'an tomorrow."
"Think about it, when your wife gives birth, you happen to be by her side, and she will be very happy..."
Lao Li started to seduce Zhao Chen with every word he said.??
