Li Xuan was uncharacteristically angry and obviously very angry.
"I, Li Xuan, don't have much ambition in this life. I just want to guard these few acres of land, plus a small house, and live a leisurely life in the countryside. Even the Duke Pei and the prince came to ask your majesty to reward me.
, but I was afraid of trouble and refused to accept it. I even asked the prince and Mr. Pei to hide my matter!
Today, Li Xuan was very touched that the two brothers could come in person.
However, although I, Li Xuan, am weak, it is absolutely impossible for Li Xuan to enter the Zheng family!"
Prince?
Hearing this, Zheng Yunde and Zheng Mingde couldn't help but look at each other.
Immediately, he hurriedly said: "My dear brother, don't worry, this is just the love of the elders in the family, so they specially sent me here this time. Since my dear brother is not willing, then I, the Zheng family, will never do anything forced!"
"In that case, thank you two brothers!"
Li Xuan quickly thanked him and his face returned to a smile.
Afterwards, joy returned to the room.
Zheng Yunde and Zheng Mingde finally recovered some sense from Li Xuan's "warm reception".
The three of them began to quote scriptures and talk about the past and the present. It was a lively scene, and finally there was a social atmosphere like scholars.
The more they talked, the more shocked the two Zheng brothers became.
Li Xuan, the young master who lives in seclusion in Lijiazhuang, is definitely a great sage.
And the teacher behind him is an expert hermit.
After more than an hour, Zheng Yunde and Zheng Mingde left with reluctance.
Inside the carriage.
"Eighth brother, I have to thank you today for letting me discover that there is such an interesting mountain master under my rule!"
"Nineteenth brother, you are so polite. Being able to meet such a great sage as Li Xuan makes this trip worthwhile as a brother!"
"The only pity is that this young master is unwilling to join my Zheng family and cannot marry my Zheng family!"
"After returning home, I must explain this matter to the head of the family. Although I cannot let this young master marry into my Zheng family, at least I cannot hate this son!"
"My younger brother also has this intention. I have to trouble my eighth brother about this matter..."
…
"well!"
Looking at the two Zheng brothers walking away, Li Xuan looked sad.
"Little Master, why are you so worried?"
The sixth uncle looked puzzled.
I was even a little surprised at how quickly Li Xuan's expression changed. Is this the unique ability of scholars?
"Uncle Sixth, from now on, Lijiazhuang will never be as peaceful and peaceful as it used to be!" Li Xuan said with a downcast face.
"this?"
Uncle Six couldn't help but be startled.
"Master, shouldn't this be a good thing?"
"Oh, Uncle Six, you don't know, there are many people and there is too much right and wrong!"
Li Xuan shook his head and said: "When the time comes, you will understand how annoying it is!"
However, the sixth uncle on the side was obviously not so worried.
The more people there are, the better!
…
at the same time.
In the palace, Li Shimin had a gloomy face after receiving the news.
"What a Zheng family, really well-informed!"
"Your Majesty, I wonder what is it that makes you so worried?"
Changsun Wuji on the side asked quickly.
"Wuji, do you know about Qu Yuuli? This matter is between me and Pei Ji..."
Changsun Wuji was not only his confidant, but also his elder brother-in-law. Li Shimin did not hide anything about Li Xuan in Lijiazhuang.
However, Li Shimin subconsciously did not say anything about Li Xuan's appearance.
"Your Majesty, the Zheng family's move is obviously to take Li Xuan into their sect so that they can use Quyuan Li's incident to enhance the Zheng family's reputation!"
After listening, Changsun Wuji said slowly.
"This is the consistent style of these aristocratic families!"
Li Shimin looked helpless, "Wuji, is there any good way to do this?"
"Your Majesty, this is easy!"
Changsun Wuji smiled faintly, "Since that Li Xuan did not allow His Majesty to publicize the transformation he had made of Qu Yuanli, and considering his talent, he could still live in seclusion in Lijiazhuang. It means that this Li Xuan wanted to
Learn from Mr. Wu Liu and live a comfortable pastoral life."
"This kind of person is most afraid of trouble. At the same time, he is also extremely arrogant at heart. It is absolutely impossible for the Zheng family to bring this son into their family!"
"But we can't let these people from aristocratic families sit around and disturb the young master all day long!"
Li Shimin said bitterly.
Um?
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji glanced at Li Shimin in surprise, and a flash of enlightenment flashed in his heart.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about this matter!"
"What clever plan does Wuji have?" Li Shimin asked quickly.
"Your Majesty, since you said you are a prince, you might as well keep pretending to be a prince and ask your majesty to reward you, the prince, with the Li Family Manor!"
Changsun Wuji said slowly, "As long as the Li Family Village becomes your village, then you can justifiably block out the people from those aristocratic families!"
"Hahaha, this is a great plan!"
After hearing this, Li Shimin was overjoyed.
"But in whose name would it be better to put this Zhuangzi in?"
"I dare not lie in vain about the affairs of your princes!" Changsun Wuji quickly handed over his hand.
"Then put it in the name of Hejian County Prince!"
Regarding this matter, Li Shimin did not ask Changsun Wuji for advice.
After thinking for a moment, he clapped his hands and said directly: "Li Wei, hurry up and introduce the prince of Hejian County to the palace!"
"yes!"
Hearing this, Li Wei quickly raised his hands and saluted.
Then, he walked out quickly.
At this time, Li Xiao, the prince of Hejian County, had just been promoted to Minister of Rites. Therefore, he had not yet started his life of banquets and entertainment with singing and dancing beauties.
The whereabouts are easy to find.
Soon, Li Xiaogong came to Tai Chi Palace in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, Li Xiaogong, is here to see you!"
"Prince Hejian County, please forgive me!"
Li Xiaogong was Li Shimin's cousin, a famous general in the Tang Dynasty clan, and deeply trusted by Li Shimin.
After hearing Li Wei say that Li Shimin had something important to ask him, he quickly came to the palace.
"May I ask Your Majesty, why do you want to see me?"
"This is because I have something to ask my brother for help!"
Li Shimin said.
"It is my duty to share your Majesty's worries. Your Majesty can just speak frankly. I will do my best!"
Li Xiaogong's face became anxious and he said quickly.
At the same time, I was wondering in my heart, what happened to make Li Shimin be so polite?
"This time, I want to reward my cousin with a Zhuangzi..."
Then, Li Shimin told Li Xiaogong the entire incident.
"I see, I didn't expect that Quyuanli was transformed by a young master from a mountain village. If I can get a village, I have to be grateful for your majesty's gift. From now on, the Li family village will be my Zhuangzi, but all operations of Zhuangzi will be handed over to your Majesty.
!”
Li Xiaogong was very happy that he had gained a village for nothing.
"This is very good. Prince Li Xiaogong of Hejian County accepts the order!"
"Li Xiaogong, the prince of Hejian County, presented a sharp tool for cultivating the land, the curved shaft plow, which has contributed to the world and the country. He specially gave him a villa outside the city. Together with the mountains and forests within a ten-mile radius of Lijiazhuang, they all belong to the prince of Hejian County!"
"Your Majesty, Li Xiaogong, thanks you!"
Soon, under the deliberate publicity of Li Xiaogong, Prince of Hejian County, and His Majesty, the news about Li Xiaogong's donation of the curved shaft plow, a sharp tool for farming, began to spread in Chang'an City.
At the same time, the scene in front of the Hejian County King's gate also began to become lively.
