A battle of wits and courage with these powerful old guys is a daily routine, but never has it been so refreshing to fight Li Linfu as it is today.
Looking at Li Linfu like a defeated rooster, dejected, Li Longji was happier than ever.
Originally, Li Linfu was the one who suffered today, and together with Prince Li Heng and Twenty-One, it was difficult to escape suspicion in this matter. Li Longji was still thinking about how to appease Li Linfu.
Unexpectedly, this twenty-one, who spoke playfully, was gentle yet firm, managed to get Li Linfu around in just a few words. This is the royal style and majesty, and this matter was done quickly.
Li Longji was overjoyed, but Li Heng couldn't understand and asked doubtfully: "Father, Prime Minister Li is the pillar of our Tang Dynasty. The life of the second young master hangs by a thread. Just now he was criticized a few times by Twenty-One. Prime Minister Li must be in pain."
, being so depressed is harmful rather than beneficial to our country, the Tang Dynasty? Why is my father still laughing?"
Li Longji chuckled and said: "Li Heng, let me ask you, whose country belongs to the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Heng said: "Of course it belongs to you, Father? Why does Father ask this?"
Li Longji said: "Since you know that the Tang Dynasty belongs to me, then who has the final say in the world of the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Heng also grinned and said: "Father, on this issue, I don't want to test the school's ministers. Of course, my father will stick to his word."
Li Longji chuckled and said: "Yes, I have the final say. Li Linfu governs the country well and is reliable. It goes without saying. But today, don't you think he comes with bad intentions?"
Li Heng was stunned and muttered: "Well, I thought it was understandable that Mr. Li was depressed and complained a few words."
It was rare for Li Heng to say a kind word to Li Linfu.
Li Heng hated Li Linfu with all his heart, but he also wanted to win over him, because it was obvious that Li Linfu was his father's favorite, and it would be even harder to bring him down than to reach the sky.
Li Longji said: "Wrong, there is a difference between monarch and minister. No matter how capable he is, no matter how powerful he is, I gave him Li Jia. Life and death are of no importance to us in the Tang Dynasty. However, as a minister, his words and deeds must be
It's quite satisfactory. If suspicion is brought to my head, what crime should I be punished for?"
Li Heng felt as if he had been enlightened. He suddenly understood and hurriedly knelt down and said: "My father is wise. My father not only taught Prime Minister Li a lesson, but also cleared my son of suspicion. I hereby wish my father a long life."
Li Mu had been watching the excitement on the sidelines, listening to Li Longji lecture Li Heng, pretending that it had nothing to do with him.
Li Longji said a lot, but when he saw Li Mu was absent-minded, he asked: "Twenty-one, do you understand what I said?"
Li Mu shook his head and nodded again, making Li Longji sigh.
Li Mu said: "Father, these clever methods of governing the country and controlling people can only be mastered by the emperor. It is also necessary for the prince and brother to learn. I forget it. My brain is not enough. I still like to toss those with technological content."
Gadgets.”
Li Longji laughed loudly, Li Heng grinned in agreement, and even Gao Lishi covered his mouth and laughed.
Li Longji said: "Look, this twenty-one has just damaged this old guy Li Linfu, and then turns around and refuses to admit it, and says that his brain is not enough? Good son, I like your temperament."
Li Mu hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you very much, Father, for your compliment."
Li Longji said: "Li Heng, twenty-one, please remember this for me. The Tang Dynasty belongs to our Li family. The majesty of the royal family lies not only in the worship of tens of thousands of people and the praise from all directions, but also in the equal importance of kindness and power. From then on,
All kinds of little things show my royal dignity."
Li Heng and Li Mu said at the same time: "Thank you, father, I will remember this."
Li Longji turned around, looked at Gao Lishi, and said: "Master Li is an important minister of the country after all. He cannot be neglected. I just slapped him in the face, and he should be rewarded with a candy next."
Gao Lishi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is wise."
Li Heng asked: "Father, what do you mean by the candy you mentioned?"
Li Longji said: "I am thinking about who to send to the Prime Minister's Mansion to visit and greet Mr. Li's second son."
After Li Longji finished speaking, he looked at Li Mu, Li Heng and Gao Lishi, and also at Li Mu. The three people's thoughts were unexpectedly unified this time.
Li Mu pointed at himself and said in surprise: "Father, brother Prince, and Eunuch Gao, you are all looking at me. What do you mean? You can't push me into the fire pit?"
Li Heng said: "Brother Mu, you are worrying too much. How can the Prime Minister's Mansion be a pit of fire? My father just taught us that the Tang Dynasty belongs to my father and the Li family. Are you still afraid of Prime Minister Li? It wasn't Ci Feng just now.
Is it very sharp?"
Li Longji nodded and looked at Li Mu playfully.
Li Mu complained: "I was impulsive just now, and because others wronged me, I was anxious, so I counterattacked smoothly. Going to the Prime Minister's Mansion now is like delivering goods to your door, and you have to be besieged by Prime Minister Li and his group of staff? I won't go.
.”
Li Heng said: "Brother Mu, don't you want to share your worries for your father? You are the most suitable candidate."
Li Heng kept encouraging Li Mu because he was afraid that Li Longji would assign such a bad job to him. No matter how nice he said it, he could only protect himself by keeping a respectful distance from Li Linfu. Unless Li Linfu took the initiative, Li Heng would not dare to act rashly.
Li Mu explained: "It's not that I don't want to share my father's worries, but there is another reason. I owe Prime Minister Li money. If I go to visit a doctor, Prime Minister Li and the people in the Prime Minister's Office will definitely look down on me, and it will bring shame on my father."
Smear, Brother Prince, don’t you think so?"
Li Heng smiled and said: "You are the best at making excuses. Borrowing money is a private matter. At this time, my father has sent you to do business. You can't push back."
Li Longji couldn't help but said: "Twenty-one, I think what Li Heng said is reasonable. You are indeed the best candidate."
Li Mu muttered: "Father, I have no official title. At this time, Prime Minister Li is very angry. I just said a few words to him in vain. Am I really scared?"
Li Longji chuckled and said: "You are also afraid? What does it matter if you don't have an official title? You are the second son I sent to visit Mr. Li. It is equivalent to visiting Mr. Li, so there is no need to be afraid."
Li Mu scratched his head and suddenly asked: "Father, do you mean that I am equal to the imperial envoy? Everyone will kowtow to me when they see me, and they are scared to death of me?"
"Hahaha, hahaha." Li Longji raised his head and laughed, and Li Heng and Gao Lishi also laughed from ear to ear.
Li Longji said: "Twenty-one, you are still the most cunning. You are asking for power from me, but you are asking for it in a subtle way. Yes, as an imperial envoy, you will go visit Li Jia and Gao Lishi to convey my wishes.
, send a team of forbidden troops to escort Twenty-one, and make the noise louder."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Gao Lishi stepped back to deliver the order.
When Li Mu saw Gao Lishi leaving, he shook his head and sighed. Li Longji ignored him and found this twenty-one more interesting.
Li Heng felt very uncomfortable. He was just visiting a patient, but this twenty-one was so shameless that he had to be an imperial minister before he was willing to go. What was even more annoying was that his father actually agreed?
Li Heng regretted it very much. He had been so stupid for pushing Li Mu just now. He thought that Li Mu was going to visit the doctor as a prince. Li Linfu would definitely be angry when he saw Li Mu.
Now as an imperial envoy, Li Linfu must not be respectful? Thinking of this, Li Heng said: "Father, I have thought about it again and again. If I really don't want to go on the 21st, am I willing to make this trip for my father?"
Li Longji was stunned for a moment and asked: "Do you want to go?"
Li Heng said: "It's not that I want to go, but it may be easier for me to go than to go on the 21st."
Li Longji frowned, shook his head, and said: "You are the prince, what do you mean by Li Jia? He is just the second son of Li Linfu. In terms of official position, a prince lieutenant is as small as a sesame mung bean. It is inappropriate and inappropriate.
Appropriate, twenty-one, what do you think?"
Although Li Mu felt that visiting patients, especially going to the prime minister's house, was a hard job, he took a step back and became an imperial envoy to gain prestige.
Unexpectedly, Li Heng, a fool, started to push himself out. Seeing that there was a profit, he immediately fought with himself. What the hell?
Li Mu said: "Father has just taught me that small things can show the royal majesty more. The child thinks that this kind of thing is just like diplomatic etiquette, which requires equal reception. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince visiting the Prime Minister and the Second Young Master would be too condescending and aggrieved.
, it is also easy to encourage the greed and delusion of some ministers, please ask my father to make a decision."
