Li Yuanji smiled and poured a cup of tea for Li Shentong. When Li Shentong had almost finished drinking, he filled the tea cup.
Li Shentong cursed angrily: "You're a bastard, you've gone too far to bully others!"
After cursing these words, without waiting for Li Yuanji's reply, he stood up, shook his sleeves, and walked out of the main room of the jingshe in a huff.
Li Yuanji wasn't angry either. He put away the tea cup that Li Shentong had used with a smile, poured boiling water on it twice, wiped it again, poured it on again, wiped it off again, and then put it away.
"Alang, I just saw Uncle Shen Tong Wang. I greeted him, but he ignored me. Did you offend him again?"
When Li Yuanji put away the tea cup and started to flip through the book, Yang Miaoyan came over and asked questions full of doubts as soon as he walked in.
Li Yuanji raised his head and said funny: "Am I the kind of person who likes to offend others?"
Yang Miaoyan was stunned for a moment, covered her mouth and smiled sweetly: "Have you forgotten that you just offended your father in the palace?"
This is very embarrassing.
The person who pretended to be a gentleman was exposed in less than a moment, which is really embarrassing for people.
Li Yuanji deliberately kept a straight face and said angrily: "That happened for a reason."
Yang Miaoyan blinked and asked with a smile, "It's the same for Uncle Divine Power Wang."
Li Yuanji was annoyed and said angrily: "Can you stop blinking and say something against your will, so that I can see through it at a glance."
Yang Miaoyan smiled even more heartily and said happily: "Okay, okay, I won't blink from now on. Dad, please don't be angry."
Li Yuanji was speechless for a moment, and said more or less embarrassedly: "It's better not to call me dad in the future."
Yang Miaoyan was stunned and said in confusion: "You insisted on me calling you like that under the bed, why don't you let me call you now?"
Li Yuanji's face was a little dark and he lost his temper on purpose, "Anyway, if I tell you to stop barking, just stop barking."
Yang Miaoyan's eyes wandered around Li Yuanji suspiciously, and after thinking for a moment, she seemed to have thought of something, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, then I won't shout in public in the future."
At this point, he blinked again and added delicately, "Only between the bottom of the bed..."
Li Yuanji suddenly stared.
You are such a witch, you are so seductive.
Look great!
…
At night.
Yang Miaoyan, dripping with sweat, lay on Li Yuanji's arm. She gasped for the fragrance and whispered, "Alang, is something going to happen in the palace?"
Li Yuanji lay in a big Chinese character, pretending to be confused and asked, "Why do you ask that?"
Yang Miaoyan suddenly raised her head, stared at Li Yuanji and said, "You are in a hurry to escape from the palace. Isn't it because something is going to happen in the palace?"
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes at Yang Miaoyan and said, "Don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked. Anyway, we have already left the palace. No matter what happens in the palace, it has nothing to do with us."
Yang Miaoyan said oh at first, and then suddenly said: "Is it related to the eldest brother and the second brother?"
Li Yuanji glared at Yang Miaoyan again and said angrily: "Don't guess blindly if you shouldn't, otherwise people will die."
When Yang Miaoyan heard that it would kill someone, she immediately didn't dare to ask any more questions, and she forcibly suppressed the doubts in her heart.
Li Yuanji also changed the topic, "Send someone home later to see if your family members are interested in Dou's family business in Duji Province."
Loubiqut
Yang Miaoyan was stunned for a moment, "Alang doesn't like the fact that I have an interest-related relationship with my mother's family? Why did she suddenly talk about this?"
Li Yuanji didn't hide anything, and said openly: "Mr. Dou offended me, but he refused to bow to me. I want to take action against Mr. Dou. But Mr. Dou is a giant, I can do it alone."
It will take a long time to deal with it.
I don’t want to waste too much time on Mr. Dou, so I can only lure your mother-in-law into the game and let them get a share of the pie."
Yang Miaoyan opened her eyes slightly and said with some surprise: "The Dou family has a lot of property in Duji Road, and my natal family is very close to the Dou family. If Alang invites my natal family to join the game, they may take away a lot of benefits.
Don’t Alang feel distressed?”
The Yang family is now headed by someone from the lineage of King Guan of Sui Dynasty, and Yang Miaoyan's lineage is now just a foil.
In addition, Yang Miaoyan's parents have passed away, and Yang rarely helps Yang Miaoyan.
Therefore, Yang Miaoyan's attitude towards Yang was just average.
When the lineage she was born in didn't get much benefit, she didn't like the other lineages of the Yang family to follow her and take advantage.
As a qualified young lady from an aristocratic family and a qualified princess, she is very clear about interests.
If Yang has invested in her, then he is eligible to get returns from her. If Yang has not invested in her, then don't expect to get too much returns from her.
She would not go out of her way to help Yang's interests despite being wronged.
Li Yuanji looked at Yang Miaoyan and said, "I don't want to share too many benefits with your natal family, but if you don't bring your natal family into the situation, it will be very time-consuming for me to deal with the Dou family by myself.
Besides, your natal family may not be able to safely get the benefits I share with your natal family.
After all, it is the second brother who has the final say in Dugi Province.
If your mother's family doesn't give up their interests to the second brother, the second brother will never let them get the Dou family's interests smoothly."
Yang Miaoyan hummed thoughtfully.
After a while, he suddenly asked, "Then second brother can take away a lot of benefits without doing anything?"
Li Yuanji smiled knowingly, "If second brother can't get enough benefits, how can he willingly give up the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to me?"
"Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal?"
Yang Miaoyan blinked fiercely.
Li Yuanji immediately realized that he had said something wrong and immediately corrected himself: "It is the great river from Luoyang to Yuhang that was dug by Emperor Yang of the former Sui Dynasty. I like to jokingly call it the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal."
Yang Miaoyan thought about it and said: "Luoyang was the capital of the former Sui Dynasty, so it is appropriate to call it the capital."
Li Yuanji smiled and hummed, but did not dare to say anything more for fear of saying something wrong again.
Yang Miaoyan smiled to herself and said, "Since Alang thinks so, I can send someone back to talk to my family."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Yuanji smiled and hummed again, and listened to Yang Miaoyan talking a lot of small words before falling asleep completely.
The reason why Yang was involved was Li Yuanji's deliberate decision.
While dealing with the Li family in Zhaozhou, we will also deal with the Dou family. Although we can capture the Dou family, we do not have so much time, energy, and manpower to digest the Dou family's interests.
If you let it nibble a little bit, you will definitely be attacked by many wealthy families who smell the fishy smell and want a piece of the pie.
After all, profit is very attractive, and countless people take risks for the sake of profit.
Once the Dou family falls, all the Dou family's properties will become fragrant meat that spreads for thousands of miles. If anyone who sees it doesn't take a bite, it will be a shame for themselves.
Therefore, instead of watching the Dou family's interests being wasted in vain, it is better to introduce people into the game and take the opportunity to sell personal favors in exchange for some of the benefits that you need.
Only in this way can benefits be maximized.
…
A night of silence.
The next day.
When Li Yuanji got up, Yang Miaoyan was already up.
Since it was still during the Chinese New Year, there were a lot of things to do, so Yang Miaoyan, as the mistress of the house, had to take care of it herself.
As usual, Li Yuanji simply washed up and ate something before rushing to the small martial arts arena to stretch his muscles.
When my muscles and bones were almost active, I took my books, documents, and tea sets to the pavilion by the pond to enjoy the scenery.
It is extremely cold in the north in winter, so a thick layer of ice forms on the surface of the pond, and the waterfalls on the top of the pond turn into crystal clear glaciers.
If it weren't for the faint flow of water under the waterfall, you could see big fish swimming leisurely under the surface of the pool.
Li Yuanji thought the waterfalls and pools were frozen solid.
A few young eunuchs who sneaked down from the manor halfway up the mountain and were about to skate on the lake saw a figure in the pavilion from a distance, and they were frightened and hurriedly hid in the forest on one side.
Li Yuanji saw it, but pretended not to see it.
Playfulness is the nature of children, and it is not suitable to be wiped out, nor is it worth going to war over it.
…
In the afternoon.
Li Xiaogong arrived and brought two pieces of news.
One piece of news is that he has already arranged the "important tasks" assigned to him by Li Yuanji.
One piece of news is that Dou Gui sued Li Yuanji last night when the officials were having a banquet in the Tai Chi Hall.
The crime was that he secretly mobilized troops to detain the beloved people of Chang'an.
"Dou Gui is trying to strike first."
Li Yuanji sneered.
Because Dou Guifeng had good reviews, Li Yuanji thought that Dou Guifeng was a noble person.
Unexpectedly, Dou Gui actually started to go into battle shirtless without distinguishing between black and white, right and wrong, just for some profit.
From this point of view, when people's fundamental interests are not touched, they can be as noble as they want.
Only when fundamental interests are touched will the noble disguise be removed.
"It's not necessarily a pre-emptive strike, it's probably just a start."
After Li Xiaogong tasted a cup of tea brought by Li Yuanji, he felt that it was tasteless, so he asked the maid standing outside the pavilion to get some wine, while pouting.
Li Yuanji glanced at Li Xiaoshun and said thoughtfully: "You mean, other people in the Dou family will use this to impeach me later?"
Li Xiaogong shook his head and said: "Not only that, if my prediction is correct, your eldest brother's people and officials from the Li family in Zhaozhou will also come out to impeach you one after another.
Eventually a wave will form that will force you to surrender."
Li Yuanji was happy, picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and asked with a smile: "Do you think it's possible?"
Li Xiaogong also laughed, "Of course it's impossible."
It is well known how protective Li Yuan is.
The wave caused by the Dou family would not make Li Yuan cruel enough to punish his son.
At most, he would just scold him and order his son to hand over the person he was holding captive.
The problem is that if this happens, Dou will offend Li Yuanji to death.
As Li Yuanji, if he keeps an eye on the Dou family and uses ruthless measures, the Dou family will die sooner or later.
"Dou Gui really seems to be getting better and better as he gets older."
Li Xiaogong said disdainfully.
Dou also used this method, which was not enough to injure Li Yuanji, but would offend Li Yuanji to death.
Li Xiaogong felt that the leader of the Dou family, Dou Gui, was definitely Lao Hutu.
Li Yuanji smiled calmly and said: "Dou Gui may not go back as he gets older."
