"Mother, if you do this, I'm afraid my father will not be happy."

Zhao Xun was quite worried about Li Yi's words.

Li Yi sighed and said: "Xun'er, do you think you are doing this as a mother just for your own face? You are wrong. Now, only you and Zhao Shuo are qualified to compete for the position of prince. The people behind Zhao Shuo

You don't know how powerful your power is. Even if your father passes the throne to you in the future without having certain military power, it will be easy for you to sit on this position and it will be easy for you to be pulled down."

Zhao Xun was silent. Li Yi had mentioned this topic to him in a vague way before, but not as straightforwardly as he said today. Zhao Xun both agreed and disagreed with Li Yi's ideas. He didn't think Li Yi had any idea.

Xun Xun has the ability to stir up such a big beam. Zhao Shuo's mother, Concubine Yang, was born in a famous family. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Yang family is the first family in today's Jin Dynasty.

One person, Yang Daosi, is the contemporary patriarch of the Yang clan. Hundreds of his disciples serve as officials at all levels. In terms of military positions, they include Shuzhou Jiedushi, Yang Daoan who controls an army of 50,000, and General Zuo of the Fengjing Forbidden Army.

, Yang Daolin, who controls the 30,000 Central Forbidden Army, is a member of the Yang family. Whether it is literary or military aspects, how can he compare with them?

Zhao Xun didn't want to fight for anything, but Li Yi told him that if he became the prince and succeeded to the throne in the future, with the power of the Yang family, Zhao Shuo could be a safe prince. If Zhao Shuo became the prince, I'm afraid they

Mother and son can only become ghosts.

Li Yi glanced at Zhao Xun and shook his head. His son was still too innocent. The fight for the throne since ancient times must have been cruel and bloody. His father, Zhao Zhi, also stepped on the corpses of his brothers back then.

, that’s why you took this seat?

Li Yi and Zhao Xun were meditating there. Li Mancang lowered his head and said nothing. The atmosphere was a bit silent. Li Xun smiled and said: "Aunt, to be honest, after staying in Fengjing for several years, I am indeed a little depressed. I

I just want to find something to do, walk around, and see the beautiful mountains and rivers of our Jin Dynasty."

Li Yi nodded, with a smile on her face. She admired her nephew's character and attitude: "There will be opportunities. Don't worry, my aunt will definitely find a good job for you."

After everyone had finished their meal, Li Mancang and Li Xun and his son were about to say goodbye and leave, but Zhao Zhi suddenly arrived, and everyone quickly knelt down to salute.

"Zhao Lang, are you back so early today?"

Li Yi greeted him and helped Zhao Zhi to sit down at the main seat.

"Something big happened in the court. I'm afraid I won't be able to come to your place tonight. I came here to tell you."

Zhao Zhi waved his hand and asked everyone to get up. His face was tense. It was obvious that something big had really happened and his mood was quite heavy.

Li Yi sat down next to him and said softly: "Zhao Lang should give top priority to state affairs. For this trivial matter, just send a servant to pass it on. Why bother to go there personally?"

Zhao Zhi grabbed Li Yi's hand, shook his head, and said nothing. They had a deep love as husband and wife and had lived together for more than twenty years. There was no need to say those polite words.

Zhao Zhi glanced at everyone and saw that the aroma of vegetables was still lingering in the room, so he said, "Have you just finished eating?"

Zhao Xun replied: "I just finished eating. Does your father have anything to eat?"

Zhao Zhi shook his head and looked at Li Xun: "Gou'er, I heard that He Haolin's son came to your house to cause trouble?"

Li Xun touched his head and said in surprise: "Does the emperor's uncle also know about such a trivial matter?"

Zhao Zhi said quietly: "The whole world belongs to me. Is there anything I don't know?"

Li Xun repeatedly bowed his hands and said yes. He couldn't help but think of He Tingxuan and the scene he saw when he went to his home. He thought about it again and again, and finally gritted his teeth and said cautiously: "Uncle Emperor, can you please bring He Haolin and his son together?"

Released?"

"He Tingxuan went to your house to cause trouble and ruined your reputation, but you still want to plead for him?"

Zhao Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then there was a hint of interest on his face. He leaned forward slightly and said, "Did you know that I am going to punish He Haolin severely and send him to the south of Lingnan?"

Li Xun was startled. Didn't He Haolin just speak a little too hastily? As for that? Li Xun quickly told what he saw when he went to He Tingxuan's home last night: "Gou'er doesn't know whether his father and son are good officials, but

At least he wasn't a corrupt official. Isn't it too serious to be killed like this?"

Zhao Zhi's face turned cold: "What qualifications do you have to comment on my decision?"

Li Xun was so frightened that he knelt down quickly, kowtowed repeatedly, and said loudly: "The dog is wrong. I don't dare to do it anymore. Please don't be angry with the dog."

When Li Mancang saw that his son had made the emperor angry, his face turned pale. He immediately knelt down, kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Zhao Xun said from the side: "Father, Li Xun was also impulsive and said the wrong thing. Please don't be angry, father."

Li Yi grabbed Zhao Zhi's hand and winked at him. She knew that Zhao Zhi would not be angry over such a trivial matter.

There was a smile on Zhao Zhi's face: "Get up, there are no outsiders here, don't kneel down easily."

Li Xun helped Li Mancang stand up. Both of them lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Zhao Zhi.

"Dog, He Haolin was rude to your aunt. You should be angry. Why do you want to plead for him?"

Li Xun raised his head, looked at Zhao Zhi, and said cautiously: "Uncle Emperor, this... this He Haolin, is he considered a direct minister?"

"You know what Zhichen means. You have been studying with Xun'er in the past few years. It seems that you are not completely messing around."

Zhao Zhi said quietly: "He Haolin has an upright personality. Although he is a bit pedantic, he is still a straight minister."

"Uncle Emperor, Gou'er has already inquired about He Haolin's matter from his cousin. In fact, he was not wrong in opposing my father's ennoblement."

Zhao Zhi narrowed his eyes and said quietly: "How do you say this?"

Li Xun said: "I, Taizu of the Jin Dynasty, once made a rule that no one can be ennobled without merit, no official in the state or county, and no one can enter the political hall. My father does not know a few Chinese characters and has no merit. He Haolin strongly opposed it and did not do it.

What's wrong? If the emperor's uncle punishes him with death, I'm afraid many people will not accept it, and they will look down on my father and son even more."

When Li Mancang saw his son talking there, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He stretched out his hand and pulled his arm, and scolded him in a low voice: "Shut up, stop talking."

Li Xun broke away from Li Mancang's hand and continued: "Dogs like to read history books. They often see that whenever the Mingjun Holy Lord is in front of him, there will be many ministers who dare to speak out and criticize. During the time of Taizu, the minister Wei Jing

He often argued with Taizu in the dynasty and rebuked him when he made mistakes. Instead of being angry, Taizu was happy about it. The emperor's uncle is also a wise emperor and a holy master. Isn't it normal to have a direct minister like He Haolin around him? "

Li Yi kept looking at Li Xun with a frown, and wanted to interrupt him several times, but when she heard him comparing Zhao Zhi to Taizu, a smile suddenly appeared on her face.

Zhao Zhi looked at Li Xun with admiration: "Then he said something rude to your aunt, should we just let it go?"
