When the eldest grandson saw that Li Yuanji was unwilling to perform Nuo opera again, he did not force it. He urged Yang Miaoyan to pack his things and prepare to return to the palace with Yang Miaoyan and a group of orioles.
Before leaving, Changsun's female official quietly came back and cooed in her ear for a long time.
Li Yuanji saw her eldest grandson's expression changing again and again, and she felt obviously uneasy. However, she didn't say anything in the end, and just told Li Yuanji to take good care of Li Chengqian.
Li Yuanji naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
The eldest grandson left Jiulongtan Mountain with Yang Miaoyan and a group of orioles and swallows, looking very grateful.
Li Yuanji looked at Changsun and his entourage disappearing on the avenue outside the monastery, and smiled.
He was sure that the eldest grandson was thinking of killing him now, but because her husband was still thinking about her things, she had to swallow her anger, continue to greet him with a smile, and reluctantly parted ways with her, leaving Li Chengqian here.
at.
If you pay, you will be rewarded.
However, after paying such a high price, whether you can get a return depends on whose method is clever.
After all, investing is risky.
As soon as Yang Miaoyan left, the Jingshe in Jiulongtan Mountain became even more noisy, mainly because the four little guys, Li Chengqian, Li Ling, Li Xu, and Li Chengye, became more unscrupulous without anyone to restrain them or discipline them.
In one afternoon, the four little guys played from one end of the monastery to the other.
Almost everywhere there are people, they have tormented them.
Almost everything they could take was destroyed by them.
The red panda Huhu is undoubtedly the worst.
Sometimes they stuffed it into a vase, sometimes they stuffed it into a barrel, sometimes they put it under a basin, and sometimes they hung it on a tree.
Li Yuanji always felt that if the little panda Huhu continued to be tortured like this, he would die sooner or later, so he couldn't help but stop it.
Then he was disliked. The four little guys didn't dare to glare at him, but they looked at him with blank eyes for a long time, and when they saw him appear, they hid elsewhere.
"Have I been so kind to them that they have no respect for me?"
Li Yuanji saw the four little guys avoiding him again in disgust, and couldn't help but glance sideways at Ma Sanbao beside him and ask questions.
Ma Sanbao folded his hands in front of his belly and smiled kindly: "You are indeed too kind to them..."
At the end, he added, "If you can treat them half as harshly as you treat my second young master, they will definitely be in awe of you."
Li Yuanji was a little moved, but he felt that the four little guys Li Chengqian couldn't withstand his beating, so he sighed: "I... can't do it."
The smile on Ma Sanbao's face froze, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he said: "How dare you do something to my second young master? He is your nephew!"
Li Yuanji sighed: "I have countless nephews, and I can't bear the pain."
The smile on Ma Sanbao's face became even stiffer.
Although what Li Yuanji said is true, there is still a difference between a close nephew and a close nephew.
Can the sons born to other princesses be the same as the sons born to Princess Pingyang?
"Aren't you afraid that I will tell my master this?"
Ma Sanbao couldn't help but ask.
Li Yuanji glanced at Ma Sanbao again and said, "Since I have spoken out, I am not afraid that you will go to my sister to complain."
Ma Sanbao asked again, "Aren't you afraid that my master will be angry?"
Li Yuanji said disapprovingly: "What's there to be angry about? Ling Wu is already a big boy and has reached the age of learning skills, so we should be stricter with him.
If you treat him like you treat Li Chengqian, Li Ling, Li Xu, and Li Chengye, and allow him to do whatever he wants and let the horse run wild, it will only harm him.
So even if my sister knows about this, she will not be angry with me, let alone blame me."
Ma Sanbao didn't know what to say. He had seen people with a silver tongue, but he had never seen such a shameless person.
Can people really ignore their own skin and be so shameless in justifying their differential treatment and partiality?
Do you still want face?
"Lingwu is truly blessed to have such a good uncle like you."
Ma Sanbao was silent for a long time and couldn't help but sigh. The word "blessing" was emphasized very strongly.
Li Yuanji put his hands behind his back and said without hesitation: "That's natural. Now everyone in the Tang Dynasty knows that I am a good uncle."
Ma Sanbao opened his mouth and said, "There is a world of difference between uncle and uncle."
Li Yuanji waved his hand disapprovingly, "They are all the same, they are all from the mother clan."
Ma Sanbao couldn't help it anymore, "But you are not a good brother-in-law."
Chai Shao is still lying on the bed.
Although his life has been saved and he has regained consciousness, according to the doctor, he will need to be nursed for a long, long time.
The doctor didn't give a precise word on how long it would take.
After recovering, the doctor did not give a definite answer as to whether he could continue to contribute to the Tang Dynasty.
From this we can see that everything after Chai Shao was dark.
Li Yuanji stared and looked at Ma Sanbao dissatisfied: "Are you accusing me? Do you know what kind of culpability you will bear if you accuse a prince for no reason?"
"The Sword Comes"
Ma Sanbao was speechless, and after a while he muttered: "You were not like this before."
Li Yuanji pretended not to have heard Ma Sanbao's words and said straight to the point: "The right way is not to go to Sanbao Hall for any reason. Why did you come to see me today?"
Ma Sanbao gave a long bow and said seriously: "I have completed half of the errand you gave me, and I came here to report back to you."
Li Yuanji was stunned, and after asking Ma Sanbao to sit down in the tea room that had just been dried on the side of the main room of the Jingshe, he asked doubtfully: "What does it mean to be half finished?"
Without waiting for Ma Sanbao to speak, he added: "I remember that although my father assigned Wang Gui and Du Yan, he did not ask them to leave the capital immediately, but asked them to wait until the beginning of spring before leaving the capital.
How did you complete the task I assigned you?"
Ma Sanbao skillfully added silver frost charcoal to the small stove in the tea room, poured mountain spring water into the iron pot covered with hammer patterns, put it on the fire to cook, and said: "Although the saint is gracious to let Wang Guihe
Du Yan stayed in Chang'an City for a few more months, but Du Yan obviously didn't want to stay in Chang'an City for any longer, so after taking care of everything at home, he set out early."
Li Yuanji smiled thoughtfully and said, "Are you feeling wronged at my second brother's house?"
Ma Sanbao waited silently for the water to boil, smiling and saying nothing.
Li Yuanji understood immediately that he had guessed correctly.
"What exactly is going on? Can you tell me more carefully?"
Li Yuanji asked.
Ma Sanbao hesitated for a moment and said, "Even if I don't tell you, His Highness will know about it soon. Anyway, things about Du Yan are no longer a secret in Chang'an City."
Li Yuanji said without hesitation: "Since it's no longer a secret, just tell me and save me from sending someone to inquire again."
Ma Sanbao suddenly laughed bitterly, "Your Highness is not even willing to exert this little effort?"
Li Yuanji smiled broadly and said, "You can do two things without doing anything."
Ma Sanbao couldn't laugh or cry.
That's the truth, but Li Yuanji doesn't treat him as an outsider, right?
However, Ma Sanbao was not pretentious and said frankly: "Ever since the sage decreed that Du Yan be dismissed from office and transferred to Yizhou, Du Yan has lost his temper and asked his wife and son to go to Du Ruhui and Du Chuke to negotiate.
I hope Du Ruhui and Du Chuke can help him intercede with His Highness the King of Qin and protect him.
But Du Ruhui refused without hesitation.
It was Du Chuke who helped him say a few good words in front of His Highness King Qin.
But His Highness the King of Qin did not protect him."
Li Yuanji pondered and nodded: "So he has a grudge against Du Ruhui and Du Chuke? He doesn't want to serve as ministers in the same house with them anymore?"
Ma Sanbao nodded amusedly.
Li Yuanji added: "He is also from my second brother's house, and he is also helping my second brother. His status is not as good as Du Ruhui's, but higher than Du Chuke's. Why doesn't he go to my second brother himself to intercede?
As far as I know, the reason why he was dismissed from office and sent to Sizhou this time was because he helped my second brother do something he shouldn't have done.
Logically speaking, my second brother should protect him."
Ma Sanbao smiled and said: "He also went there himself, but His Highness King Qin didn't see him, so he lowered his dignity and begged Du Ruhui and Du Chuke."
Li Yuanji suddenly realized: "Abandoned son?"
Ma Sanbao smiled and nodded.
Li Yuanji said amusingly: "So, now he also holds a grudge against my second brother?"
Ma Sanbao said nothing and had no other reaction.
But Li Yuanji already understood that his guess was correct.
Li Yuanji couldn't help laughing and said: "In this way, Du Yan has temporarily broken up with my second brother's house."
The reason I say temporary is because there are never permanent enemies in the field of power.
If one day Li Shimin ascends to the throne, even if Du Yan hates Li Shimin to death, he will have to put aside his grudges with Li Shimin and crawl at Li Shimin's feet obediently.
"You told him that I could help him get revenge, and he joined me without hesitation?"
Li Yuanji looked at Ma Sanbao and asked with a smile.
When Du Yan was at the lowest point in his life, he would have grasped the olive branch without hesitation when he saw it.
Ma Sanbao smiled calmly and said: "I didn't hesitate, I was still reserved. But after my persuasion, I finally agreed to join His Highness's sect."
Li Yuanji chuckled and said: "It is reasonable for a scholar to have some character. But his character is a bit cheap."
Ma Sanbao nodded in agreement.
The feud between brothers Du Yan and Du Ruhui has been going on for a long time.
Now a deeper grudge has been formed.
Someone recruited him and promised to help him take revenge.
If he has no intention of revenge, that's fine.
If you want to take revenge, you shouldn't put on airs.
Obviously he is not a noble person, but he has to pretend to be noble.
This kind of character will indeed appear very cheap.
