"Dad, why are you doing this?"
As soon as Wu Gao stepped forward, Li Jinglong's son Li Qi came in from the side door of the greenhouse and said worriedly.
"The two masters returned to Zhongdu incognito. You know their tempers better than anyone else. The most annoying thing is that the ministers fooled them. If you can't see anything, just give it up. What if there is something in Zhongdu?
Are you looking for illness?"
"The saints of the two masters have not left the capital yet, so you asked the local people to prepare for the singing and dancing. Isn't this a secret connection? If something happens, you and the two Wu Hous will also be in trouble. You.
....."
Facing his son's scolding, Li Jinglong smiled instead.
"Okay, I've grown up, I have something in my heart, and I know how to think about things! Oh, when my wings are hard, I will start to squeeze you." Li Jinglong gargled his mouth with a tea bowl, then spit into the gilded spittoon, and then used
He covered his face with a hot towel and used the hot air to drive away the smell of alcohol on his body.
Li Qi sat down next to his father, "How can my son dare to run against you? It's just this matter...it doesn't matter what happens in the place. Isn't this a waste of time that outweighs the gain?"
"After all, our Li family is an honorable military man, and the affairs of the local civil servants..."
"You're right!" Li Jinglong threw away the towel and leaned on the chair. Immediately, a girl came over and began to gently pinch his forehead with her delicate hands.
"It has nothing to do with us. We are just accompanying the two gentlemen out of Beijing. Whether we are happy or angry along the way, it has nothing to do with us."
"You two masters really realized that there is something wrong. They are also treating the crimes of civil servants. They are not the same as us."
At this point, Li Jinglong smiled, pointed at the back of his neck, and said to the girl, "Pinch here with some strength!"
Then he continued, "Then let me ask you, according to your logic, these things have nothing to do with Wu Hou and his two brothers. Jinghai Hou is the general manager who leads the troops, and they have nothing to do with him, right? What if he helps with these things?
It’s a matter of course. Isn’t it suspected that you are trying to wield power indiscriminately? Isn’t it the crime of fooling these two masters?”
Li Qi thought about it and nodded slightly.
"You brat!" Li Jinglong scolded with a smile, "You can see it, do you think Wu Gao can't?"
"He is a true person, not stupid."
"If he was really stupid, he wouldn't agree!"
After saying this, Li Qi became more and more puzzled.
"You listened to the whole scene outside, do you still remember what your father said at the beginning?" Li Jinglong asked.
Seeing that his son was silent, Li Jinglong continued, "After I sat down to make my decision, the first thing I said was, what am I trying to do? Isn't it just to make the two of you happy?"
"Who do you think I am? I don't care what the ground looks like in Zhongdu? I really have some unsightly purpose for the old man to see, and it's not my head that's being chopped off."
The more he said this, the more confused Li Qi became.
"You, me, and I are here to share the emperor's worries." Li Jinglong said, squeezing the maid's hand with one hand, and the other went around behind the chair to subconsciously rub her jade legs.
"What does this have to do with the emperor?" Li Qi was completely confused.
"Tsk, why are you so stupid!" Li Jinglong cursed, moving his hands up and down behind the chair, "Let me ask you, do you want to see something in this journey, or do you not?"
"Whether you want to live or not is also a secondary concern, the main thing is the old man."
"Think about it, this old man is over 70 years old, can he still be angry? He has such a jealous temper. If he really gets angry at himself, who will bear the blame?"
"I came back to Fengyang to make the old man happy. Why do I bother him so much? That's just looking for a cure when there's nothing wrong with me!"
"We ministers must learn to share the emperor's worries. What is worry-sharing? What your father and I are doing now is to share the emperor's worries."
"To the elderly, we should report good news and not bad news. We are not hiding everything. Zhongdu is the important place of the country and a model for the world. Let's talk to them, just to let them change the situation and encourage them.
"
"All this is to make the old man happy. Even if the old man knows that someone ventilated it in advance, he will not be angry in his heart. He will only feel that the people below, your father and I, can do things!"
"Oh, otherwise you think Wu Gao is a fool? This matter has nothing to do with us, nor does it have anything to do with the two brothers. Why do they care about this?"
"You're not looking for a cure, but you deliberately pooped in your crotch?"
After saying that, Li Jinglong looked at his son, "Do you understand this time?"
Li Qi still had only a vague understanding of it, and always felt that something was wrong, but she just couldn't explain it.
"You are still young, and you will not be able to understand the way of being an official after more than ten years of accumulation! Just remember, there can be no faults everywhere in the world. The people above are well aware of this, and the people below are clear about it."
"But sometimes you have to look at it, sometimes you have to try not to look at it, and you also have to know when to look at it."
"Especially about insignificant things, like when I was eating and you insisted on telling me that your stomach was bloated and you couldn't poop, that was deliberately disgusting."
"We think about the Emperor and the Supreme Emperor. It is a matter of pure loyalty and filial piety. No matter whether things are done right or not, as long as the starting point is good, who can blame us?"
"Because of a loyal heart, deliberately doing wrong things to make the old man happy will only make the old man feel at ease. Do you understand, my silly son?"
Then he saw that Li Qi was still frowning in thought, and sighed, "You, you, you, you, you will be serving the Crown Prince a lot in the future, so you have to be careful about everything..."
"Hey, you two are talking here!"
As Li Jinglong was talking, the woman Deng's voice suddenly came from outside. Then the door curtain opened, and Deng came in with a smile on her face and several girls.
"Son, the kitchen is cooking for you..." Deng just started to speak, but suddenly she said coldly, "Li Jinglong, what are you doing?"
Li Jinglong leaned on the chair, holding the maid's jade finger with his right hand, and rubbing his long legs with his left hand, leisurely and contentedly.
"I don't have anything..." As he said this, he suddenly realized and immediately let go.
"Son, you go to eat first!" Deng said to her son with a smile.
Because Li Qi was sitting next to Li Jinglong, she didn't see clearly what he was doing just now. Moreover, she was full of worries at this time and left in a depressed manner.
"You are disrespectful to my son in front of me!" Deng scolded her son as soon as he left the house.
"What am I..." Li Jinglong stood up quickly, "I just... let her pinch her head..."
"Pinch his mother's head for what?" Deng was fierce and pinched Li Jinglong's arm directly, "You asked your maid to pinch your head in front of your son? If your son is not here, are you pinching the big head and the small head?"
"Hey, hey, be gentle!" Li Jinglong shouted in pain, "I have something to say!"
"I'm not... I'm not taking it easy..."
"I'll let you go, but today I am very..." Deng became more and more angry as she spoke, and picked up the vase on the shelf next to her to smash it.
"No, that's from Song Ru Kiln!" Li Jinglong shouted, "I bought that pen for two thousand silver dollars!"
Mrs. Deng looked at the porcelain in her hand, gritted her teeth and put it down, "Two thousand silver dollars to buy this, which is not for eating or drinking?" Then she picked up a gilt Thousand-Armed Guanyin.
"Madam, that's a Buddha statue from the Liao Dynasty. It was originally something hidden in the Yuan Dynasty!" Li Jinglong hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, holding the woman in his arms and coaxing him, "I was wrong. I was wrong. Just hit it twice. Don't do it."
Smashing things, it’s all money!”
"You..." Deng was furious and hit Li Jinglong on the shoulder, "Are you so anxious? Can't you do it at night? And you still talk to the maid in front of your son... Li Jinglong, you want to piss me off to death
Huh? Am I an eyesore when I’m alive..."
As he said this, the sole of Deng's foot slipped due to the mixture of grief and anger.
Li Jinglong hugged him quickly with quick hands and eyes.
"That's enough, I'll give you some good face. You...squeal...if you scream any more...you can't tell who is the big one!" Li Jinglong said with a straight face, "I didn't pay attention.
? Besides, I’m going out soon..."
As he said this, Deng suddenly exclaimed.
Li Jinglong carried his wife on his shoulders and headed towards the back room, "Damn it, I'm going out tomorrow and I don't know when I'll be back. Let's eat first!"
