Brother-in-law, your money-hungry character really amazes me! You can shamelessly pick up five taels of silver, I really admire you!"
Outside the Imperial Study Room, Li Baiyu looked narrowly at Mr. Liu who came out happily holding five taels of silver, and said teasing words. It was obvious that Li Baiyu also admired Mr. Liu's extremely persistent character about money.
!
Young Master Liu happily put the money into his arms: "In this life, wine, sex, power and wealth are the top priorities. My younger brother loves wine, is greedy for beauty, and has an eye for wealth. He only cares little about power. If divorce is the top priority,
What’s the point of living without drinking, sex, and wealth?”
Young Master Liu frankly admitted that he was greedy for money and lustful, without showing any pretense at all!
Li Baiyu nodded with a chuckle: "My brother-in-law's life is really painful. He drinks and sex with power and wealth, and drinks and sex with power and wealth. Some people like power, and some people like money. It's good to like money. Sometimes power can really blind people's minds!"
If you like money, I can rest assured that you will be happy, and my father will also be at ease. Everyone is happy, so why not!
Thinking of the words his father taught him, Li Baiyu happily recited a few words silently in his heart, with an indescribable feeling of relief on his face!
Several brothers have become vassals, and those who have not grown up have not yet grown up. It can be said that a road to heaven lies in front of you to inherit the throne!
The powerful old ministers in the court should retire after a hundred years as their father. The young and powerful ministers like money and are not greedy for power. Li Baiyu suddenly felt that the sunshine today was particularly bright!
"To put it bluntly, my current status is entirely due to being driven to the top. My eldest brother must also know that my younger brother disobeyed his father's imperial edict in the past in order not to go to Beijing! In fact, compared to being an official,
, I prefer the idle life of a rich man! Thousands of acres of fertile land, mountains and rivers, parents still alive and many children. This life is enough, the life of a couple of gods and gods, this life is enough!"
Li Baiyu thought about it and laughed helplessly!
"We, the officials of the Dalong Dynasty, govern the Qingming Dynasty. There are no clear rules on disobeying the imperial edict in the Dalong Code. However, because of the existence of Confucian culture, the monarch, ministers, father and son are still quite influenced by scholars. Since the father ascended the throne, the second case
The one who disobeyed the imperial edict and survived unscathed is you, brother-in-law!"
"Oh? Is there still the first person? I am ignorant and ignorant, please ask my elder brother to clarify my doubts!"
"Master Xia Gongming, Mr. Xia, the imperial envoy, speaking of the incident three...thirteen years ago, Mr. Xia not only disobeyed the imperial edict, but even broke into the harem and lifted the quilt of his father on the spot, pointed at his nose and cursed
You are ignorant!"
"Mr. Xia is still alive and well, which shows that my father has not punished Mr. Xia too much!"
"Yes, Mr. Xia, although he has a straightforward temper and does not know how to adapt, is one of the few loyal elders left by the emperor to his father. Since Mr. Xia became the imperial censor, he has always abided by the law and served the public. My father
Even though the emperor was furious at first, he only fined Mr. Xia half a year's salary in the end!"
"I didn't expect that old man Xia would have such a glorious past. I really underestimate him!"
"There is no way. Although Mr. Xia has been annoying my father for a long time, he is indeed worthy of his official position as a censor. The court cannot do without such an upright minister who dares to speak out and advise, even at the risk of committing treason.
To be disrespectful, if my father's body is still strong after a hundred years, I still want him to dedicate a few more years to Dalong. My brother is a mirror that can let the emperor see his own shortcomings!
"
"With such magnanimity, my eldest brother will definitely be a wise king in the future. It is the great fortune of the dragon and the fortune of the people in the world!"
"Alas...who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Maybe I will become a stupid and unscrupulous tyrant in the future! You future ministers should always remind Big Brother
, just supervise the big brother!"
"As long as the eldest brother doesn't despise the little brother Luo Li, I will never tire of you, and the little brother is willing to be loyal to Dalong for the rest of his life!"
Li Baiyu chuckled and patted Liu Mingzhi on the shoulder: "In all these years, apart from the time you married Yan'er and came to my eldest brother's house, I haven't had any free time to sit around. If I have nothing to do today,
Why don't you go to my eldest brother's house and sit down? You just said you like fine wine. There are two jars of 70-year-old daughter's red wine in my eldest brother's house that you haven't been willing to open. How about I make it happen for you today?"
Liu Mingzhi pondered for a moment and nodded lightly!
"Big Brother has such kind intentions. If I refuse, wouldn't I be disrespectful? Big Brother, please!"
"There is no distinction of status after leaving the palace. You and I, brothers, will go together!"
"Come with us!"
Liu Mingzhi got on his horse and rushed towards the Prince's Mansion. Looking back at the tall city wall behind him, Liu Mingzhi's face was complicated and helpless!
"Father, Liu Mingzhi is by no means a man who is greedy for power. He just wants to spend the rest of his life with his wife, children, and children. Will the prince let me go in the future?"
"Hush!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returns home!"
"The prince-in-law is here too, I'm so stupid, I'm so rude!"
"Lao Yu, go and ask Jie'er Shu'er to tell the kitchen to prepare the food and wine. Tell them that distinguished guests are coming, and ask them to bring Li Ye, Li Tao and Jing Yao out to meet them!"
"Yes, old slave, go right away!"
Li Baiyu smiled lightly and handed the horse's rein to the servants in the mansion. He looked at Liu Mingzhi who was looking at the mansion and sighed helplessly!
"Brother-in-law, don't look any further. The Prince's Mansion. The real value of the Prince's Mansion is only the words on the plaque. In fact, it is slightly inferior to the homes of ordinary officials. My father has always disliked the luxurious life of our brothers since he ascended the throne.
, My brother’s mansion is a bit shabby, so don’t blame me for not providing good hospitality to my brother!”
"Eldest brother is joking. No matter how good the mansion is, it is only three feet away from where you sleep. The younger brother's palace is different now and has not been expanded. Although the house is bigger, it is a reflection of power, but it will inevitably look deserted! The younger brother can't stand that kind of absence.
The feeling of popularity means that a small family can live a carefree life, and more importantly, it saves money by not expanding the house!"
"Ah...hahaha...feel comfortable listening to this, please!"
"Brother please!"
The first time he truly set foot in the Prince's Mansion, Liu Mingzhi took a general glance at the layout of the Prince's Mansion and understood that Li Baiyu was not lying!
The decoration of the Prince's Mansion is simply terrifying and simple, giving it a more scholarly atmosphere.
If it weren't for the name Prince's Mansion, more people would think of this place as a scholarly family where great Confucians lived!
"Prince, Prince Consort, please have tea!"
"Back off!"
"Thank you!"
"Well, after seeing it with your own eyes, you believe that your brother is not lying!"
"Simple, elegant and generous, it is a rare place to cultivate one's moral character. The eldest brother is the real elegant man, and the young man is ashamed of himself and feels inferior!"
While they were talking, two men, three women, and two men walked out of the living room!
Both women are elegant, graceful and beautiful women, with an indescribable nobility in their movements. Although their clothes are not very grand and even a little simple, the aura they exude is enough to illustrate their impressive status!
The identities of the three children are natural
Needless to say, Liu Mingzhi understood it after just one glance!
"The Crown Prince's concubine Chen Jie has met Duke Dingguo!"
"Prince Concubine He Shu has met Duke Dingguo!"
"Nephews Li Ye and Li Tao meet their uncle!"
"Niece Li Jingyao meets uncle!"
Liu Mingzhi hurriedly put down his tea cup and stood up: "Two sisters-in-law, please sit down quickly, my little brother Liu Mingzhi is polite!"
Chen Jie and He Shu did not continue to be polite, but Shi Shiran walked aside and sat down!
"You three, get up too. My uncle came in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts. I'll make up for them later!"
