At this thought, Li Yuanji also criticized Li Xiaogong, "Cousin, what Ziwei said is reasonable. You should really control your mouth. If you can't control your mouth, we might be in trouble too.
.”
Li Xiaogong didn't have any big reaction when he was criticized by Ren Gui, and he didn't have any big reaction when he was criticized by Ling Jing. But when he was criticized by Li Yuanji, he exploded and jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
Blowing his beard and glaring, he shouted: "I can't speak my mind at home, and I can't speak my mind in the court. If I still don't let you speak my mind when I come to you, will I still be alive?!"
Li Yuanji knew Li Xiaogong's difficulties, and also knew that Li Xiaogong really needed a place to express his true feelings.
The reason why he complained and vented his grievances for so long today must have been accumulated when Li Yuan called him back to Beijing.
I have been saving for more than half a year, and only now have I found a suitable place and a suitable person to vent it out.
It's just that when he was complaining and venting his grievances, he was a little too unscrupulous and dared to say anything.
If the people who listened to him complain and vent his grievances became hostile to him that day, it would cost him his life.
Therefore, those who should be criticized and corrected should still be criticized and corrected, even if they are already blowing their beards and staring in anger, even if they are already jumping up and down in a hurry.
Li Yuanji had a plan in mind, so he became less polite when he spoke. He put on a slightly serious face and said: "Cousin, it's not that I don't let you speak your mind, but that you can't stop talking about what's in your mind, and you dare to say anything.
Speak out.
If this gets spread, you should know how harmful it will be to you.
You should also be aware of the price we will bear if we fail to report it.
So I hope you can stop speaking in moderation.
It’s best if you don’t say it and don’t say it.”
When Ren Gui and Ling Jing heard this, they nodded in agreement almost without hesitation, with expressions of deep approval written on their faces.
Li Xiaogong's eyes widened, like bells, and he shouted angrily: "Then I won't be able to speak my mind for the rest of my life, and won't I have to be suffocated to death? Then what energy do I have to live?"
Li Yuanji frowned and said angrily: "At least you can't say it now. Even if you will be suffocated to death, you have to hold it in."
Li Xiaogong tried his best to glare again, but his eyes were already as wide as possible and he couldn't stare anymore.
He wanted to refute.
It's just that when the words came to his lips, he didn't say them out. Instead, he changed his expression to a thoughtful one and said subconsciously: "Can I say it in the future?"
Li Yuan didn't sit in that position forever, and Li Yuanji obviously didn't want to be a prince who was at the mercy of others.
Then wait until Li Yuan passes away and Li Yuanji gains a certain amount of power.
As a member of Li Yuanji's party, can I speak freely?
When Li Yuanji saw that after Li Xiaogong finished speaking, his eyes began to return to their original state, and began to shine with a trace of joy. He immediately guessed what he was thinking, and said speechlessly: "We will talk about the future matters later."
Who is this person?!
They have already begun to dance on the tip of the knife. If they are not careful, they will be stabbed all over their bodies. They are still thinking about venting their emotions in the future.
If you have this time, can't you think about business?
For example, how to kill the three Li clans in Zhaozhou, how to send the Dou clan downstairs to reunite with Queen Taimu, and if that doesn't work, think about how to kill Pei Ji.
Anyway, that old man has no real value to the Tang Dynasty now. He can only make trouble and flatter Li Yuan.
In order to prevent the old man from causing trouble at the critical moment, it would be better to send him down to accompany his good partner Liu Wenjing.
In this matter, Li Yuanji definitely did not hold grudges, and he definitely did not want to retaliate because the old man had tricked him before.
He did this to prevent the brothers from killing each other under the instigation of the old man.
It was also to prevent the family from getting along with each other due to the old man's troubles.
From the beginning to the end, he was public-minded, public-minded, public-minded.
Important things must be said three times, otherwise it will be extremely easy to be misunderstood by others.
It's a pity that Li Xiaogong didn't understand his public heart at all. After hearing his words, he stared again and said anxiously: "No, don't say it again later. Let's say it now and make it clear."
While he was talking, he kept moving forward, as if he wanted to get out of his way and rush towards the person.
Li Yuanji was completely speechless at him, and shouted coldly, "Cousin, have you had enough trouble? Do you think everyone knows everything you want to make trouble?"
When Li Xiaogong heard this, he was shocked. He understood the deep meaning of Li Yuanji's words.
Li Yuanji was reminding him that he, the King of Qi, was now a person who had no ambitions and would not harm anyone or be harmed by anyone.
Not many people know about his secret plan, let alone publicize it, let alone follow him to get to the bottom of it.
If it gets publicized, or if the news leaks out due to digging into the details.
Then all the planning will be in vain, and everything will be in vain.
Li Xiaogong immediately sat down and didn't dare to say another word or make any more trouble.
Seeing this, Ren Gui didn't know what kind of riddle the two were playing, and was a little confused.
Ling Jing knew what Li Yuanji was talking about and why Li Xiaogong didn't dare to make any more trouble, but he didn't say anything, let alone help Ren Gui clear up his doubts.
Ren Gui has just joined Prince Qi's family. It is not yet known whether he is loyal or traitorous, whether he is a young man or a gangster. It will take time to verify, so it is not suitable for him to know too much.
This is also the reason why Li Yuanji hid his words and did not speak clearly.
Seeing that Li Xiaogong finally stopped making trouble, Li Yuanji took a deep breath, calmed down, and said with sincerity: "Cousin, it's time for you to reflect on yourself.
I think you were definitely not like this when you were in Jingzhou, right?
If you were like this when you were in Jingzhou, you would not be able to conquer the Liang Kingdom, put down the many rebels, or recruit hundreds of barbarians.
So I hope you can reflect on it and find out who you were like when you were in Jingzhou.
Even if you can't get it back 100%, you can get it back 60-70%."
At this point, without waiting for Li Xiaogong to speak, Li Yuanji said with emotion: "I know why you are like this. You have already explained it before, so there is no need to explain it again now.
Fear is a kind of restriction for people, which can make people lose consciousness and make them fearful.
But it is also a force that inspires people to continue to become stronger.
If you can endure the torment of fear and conquer the fear in your heart, you will become stronger."
Li Yuanji’s words are full of truth worth pondering.
So after finishing everything, Li Xiaogong had nothing to say anymore. Instead, he deeply remembered these words and pondered them.
Ren Gui and Ling Jing also realized something and thought about these words.
After a long time.
Ren Gui and Ling Jing handed over their hands one after another, and Ren Gui was the first to speak: "Your Highness's words are quite reasonable. I have gained a little. Thank you for your guidance."
Ling Jing nodded and said, "The same is true for me."
In fact, it is more appropriate to describe Li Yuanji's words as 'thought-provoking', but Du Fu has not been born yet, and his "You Longmen Fengxian Temple" has not yet come out. Naturally, no one can start from the sentence "Desire" that does not exist yet.
We can understand the idiom "thought-provoking" from "hearing the morning bell; making people think-provoking".
But at this moment, no one has the heart to care about the wording, and no one has the mood to coin a word to cater to the current scene.
Li Yuanji waved his hands to Ren Gui and Ling Jing and said, "I am speaking out of my feelings, not teaching. Speaking of which, you are older than me and have more knowledge than me, so you should be the one to teach me."
Ren Gui stroked his long beard and laughed loudly and said: "The sage said: If three people are walking together, I must have a teacher. Choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones."
Li Yuanji also laughed and raised his glass to invite him to drink.
Ren Gui and Ling Jing also immediately picked up their wine glasses and started drinking.
Not long after, the atmosphere in the pavilion, which had dropped to freezing point because of Li Xiaogong, became joyful again.
After three drinks and five dishes, it was getting late and the show was about to end. Li Xiuning appeared, with Chai Zhewei by his side.
Just as Li Xiaogong said, when Li Xiuning was in Zongzheng Temple, he was indeed served with delicious food and drinks, and he indeed gained weight.
She just looked a little unhappy, her brows were furrowed, and it seemed like she had a lot of troubles lingering in her mind.
People often say that the heart is wide and the body is fat. The heart is wide and the body is fat.
Li Xiuning has a lot of troubles lingering in her heart and she is still gaining weight. This shows that the people at Zongzheng Temple really do not treat her harshly and really take good care of her.
Thinking about it, the person in charge of Zongzheng Temple now is Li Shentong. With the friendship between Li Yuanji and Li Shentong, and Li Xiuning's superior status, Li Shentong did not dare to treat her harshly.
Li Yuanji was very happy to see Li Xiuning and personally welcomed him out of the pavilion. He said cheerfully: "Third sister, congratulations on getting out of prison. I am hosting a banquet to celebrate you. Since you are back, let's have a drink together.
"
Li Xiaogong, Ren Gui, and Ling Jing nodded one after another after saluting Li Xiuning.
Li Xiuning forced a smile on her face and patted Chai Zhewei on the head.
Chai Zhewei stepped forward timidly, saluted Li Yuanji, and whispered without daring to raise his head: "My...nephew has met my uncle."
Perhaps because of Li Xiuning's support, he finally dared to recognize Li Yuanji as his uncle.
He still remembers that the last time his father brought him here, Li Yuanji treated him without mercy and was very cruel, as if there was no blood relationship between them.
Facing Chai Zhewei's greeting, Li Yuanji just smiled and said nothing.
