Li Yuanji said angrily: "I was only sixteen years old at the time! Although I was nominally the general manager of Bingzhou and was in charge of the military and political power of Bingzhou, the person who made the decision in Bingzhou at that time was not me, but Dou Dan and Yu Wenxin.
If anyone has to bear the blame for the loss of Bingzhou, it should be Dou Dan and Yu Wenxin, not me!"
As if Li Xiaogong couldn't feel Li Yuanji's anger, he still laughed heartlessly and said in a very unscrupulous manner: "If you feel wronged, you can yell at the people in the world, explain to the people in the world, you can go to me.
What are you yelling about, what are you trying to explain to me?
I can’t give you a clean slate.”
Li Yuanji glared at Li Xiaogong angrily.
Li Xiaogong said happily: "It seems that you also know that it won't work to yell or explain this kind of thing to the world. The world doesn't care how old you were at the time, nor will they care about you at the time.
Does it have real power?
People in the world only know that you were the general manager of Bingzhou at that time, the person with the highest authority and the highest status in Bingzhou.
Therefore, if Bingzhou is lost, even if you are not at fault, you will still have to bear the greatest infamy."
This is the price that people with high status and status must bear when they do a certain thing, or lend their reputation to do a certain thing.
This is also one of the origins of the saying "If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight".
It doesn't mean that just because you are young, you can be in a high position and do whatever you want to do.
It doesn't mean that because you are young, you can use this as an excuse to shirk responsibility after you make a mistake, or someone under you makes a mistake.
After all, people don't care about this.
Especially the people who are struggling to survive under the iron heel of the enemy do not care at all whether the person who protects them is a sixteen-year-old boy, nor do they care whether the boy who protects them has real power in his hands.
They would only greet the young man, his whole family, and his eighteen generations of ancestors when they were suffering.
It is precisely because of this that Li Yuanji did not refute Li Xiaogong's words, because he knew that Li Xiaogong was telling the truth, and he also knew that the stigma brought to him by his predecessor would probably not be washed away in this life.
So I could only gnash my teeth and shout to Li Xiaogong: "If I am a big fool, you are an even bigger fool, and you are all bigger fools."
When Li Xiaogong heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "How do you describe your reaction now in your own words? Incompetent and furious? Right?"
Li Yuanji stared for a moment, stood up suddenly, and roared at Li Xiaogong: "How dare you peek at my secret message?!"
Li Xiaogong saw that Li Yuanji was really angry, and he was still furious. He quickly straightened his sitting posture, put away his smile, and said seriously: "I didn't peek, it was your two daughters who took the initiative to send them to my desk.
Up."
"How can it be?!"
Li Yuanji didn't believe it at all.
Li Xiaogong hurriedly explained: "What I said is true. It was really your two daughters who sent it to my desk. They not only gave me a volume, but also gave one volume each to Ling Jing and Ren Gui."
Li Yuanji's face turned red, green, and white for a while.
Although there were no secrets recorded in those secret letters, they were all rubbish he wrote when he was unhappy.
But even these rubbish words, if spread, are enough to kill him in front of all the nobles in Chang'an City.
Judging from Li Xiaogong's reaction, Li Xiaogong must have never read the volumes at the bottom of the box, otherwise it would definitely damage him to death.
Ling Jing and Ren Gui probably hadn't seen it either, otherwise they would have rushed to Jiudao Palace with weird looks on their faces.
Even so, all secret letters must be destroyed as soon as possible before Li Ling and Li Xu dig to the bottom of the box.
As soon as he thought about this, Li Yuanji shouted outside the corridor, "Here comes someone!"
The guards waiting outside the pavilion heard the greeting and hurried into the pavilion.
Li Yuanji didn't wait for the guards to salute, and then decisively ordered: "Hurry to the Jingshe quickly, go to the bookcase in the main room of the Jingshe, and pick up a box.
After getting it, return to Jiudao Palace quickly without delay.
After arriving at the Jingshe, I will ask someone to send a message to Ling Jing and Ren Gui, asking them to send me the books that Li Ling and Li Xu gave them, with no fewer pages left."
The guard was originally ready to salute, but before he could salute, Li Yuanji had already finished his instructions.
He could only clasp his fists, say yes, and then run to the monastery down the mountain.
As soon as he took two steps out, he was stopped by Li Yuanji, "Wait a minute!"
The guard hurriedly turned around, clasped his fists and bowed: "Do you have any other orders, Your Highness?"
Li Yuanji took a deep breath and said, "Tell the princess again to teach Li Ling and Li Xu the rules."
The guard was stunned for a moment and quickly bowed his head in agreement.
Li Xiaogong looked at Li Yuanji in surprise.
Li Yuanji pretended not to see Li Xiaogong's eyes, and just waved his hand to the guard, asking him to do it as soon as possible.
After the guard bowed again, he quickly rushed along the corridor to the entrance of Jiudao Palace and rushed to the monastery.
Li Xiaogong waited until the guard disappeared before he couldn't help but ask: "Is it too heavy?"
Li Yuanji glared at Li Xiaogong and said nothing.
Li Xiaogong meant that it was too serious to ask Yang Miaoyan to teach Li Ling and Li Xu the rules.
If this were placed in the homes of ordinary people, it would be an inconspicuous statement.
But if you put it in a wealthy family or the royal family, it would be to accuse the housewife of not being able to teach her children.
This is a serious accusation for Yang Miaoyan, a housewife with no heirs.
If a housewife cannot bear children and does not know how to educate them, then she is not far away from being divorced.
"If I remember correctly, you were the one who indulged Li Ling and Li Xu in the first place. Now that you can't stand their nonsense, it's all your own fault. Why are you venting your anger on your siblings?"
Li Xiaogong had a good impression of Yang Miaoyan and couldn't help but defend Yang Miaoyan.
It was Li Yuanji who indulged Li Ling and Li Xu in the beginning and hoped that Li Ling and Li Xu would have a happy childhood. Now it is Li Yuanji who dislikes Li Ling and Li Xu's nonsense.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! No matter what, it is Li Yuanji, no matter what, Yang Miaoyan cannot be blamed.
Li Xiaogong felt that Li Yuanji was venting his anger.
Li Yuanji glared at Li Xiaogong again and said angrily: "When did I take my anger out on my wonderful words?"
Li Xiaogong also raised his eyes and said, "You said such harsh words to Miaoyan, why don't you take it out on her? She also has no heirs. If she had heirs, how could she allow you to say such things?"
Heirs are a woman's courage, especially in this era, a woman with children and a woman without children have two completely different rights to speak when they are in the same status.
A woman with children has an equal status with her husband at home, especially in the back house. She even has the right to speak over her husband when dealing with all matters in the back house.
A childless woman does not have much say at home or in the back house, and it is impossible for her to achieve equal status with her husband.
Occasionally, when my husband makes fun of me, I can only hold it in and don't dare to say anything back.
It is precisely because of this that Li Xiaogong attributed Li Yuanji's "bullying" of Yang Miaoyan to the fact that Yang Miaoyan had no heirs.
Li Yuanji was too lazy to talk to Li Xiaogong anymore. Li Xiaogong knew a lot about his family's affairs.
But Li Xiaogong obviously didn't think so. He said reluctantly: "Don't frown at me, but talk instead? Do you bully others because your younger siblings have no heirs?"
Li Yuanji glanced at Li Xiaogong and said coldly: "You think I'm bullying Miaoyan, how about we make a bet?"
Li Xiaogong was stunned for a moment and yelled: "When you bully others, you are bullying them. I can see it clearly and hear it clearly. What else is there to bet on?"
Li Yuanji said coldly: "You just say whether to fight or not?"
Li Xiaogong said perfunctorily: "Why don't you talk about gambling first?"
Li Yuanji said: "You said I bullied Miaoyan. How would Miaoyan react if I bullied him?"
Li Xiaogong was stunned again, curled his lips and said, "What other reaction could there be? I would naturally bring a pair of girls over here to admit my mistake to you, the head of the family."
Li Yuanji nodded and said, "Okay, then let's bet on whether Miaoyan will bring Li Ling and Li Xu to admit his mistake to me."
Li Xiaogong almost nodded in agreement without hesitation, but as soon as he nodded, he realized that Li Yuanji would never make an unintended decision.
Since Li Yuanji dares to say this, he probably has something to rely on.
In other words, it is a sure win.
Although in a wealthy family and in the royal family, Li Yuanji said that Yang Miaoyan could not educate children, which was a very serious accusation.
But if the couple has another agreement on the bed, that would be a different matter.
Immediately, Li Xiaogong shook his head without hesitation and said: "I won't bet with you, and there is no benefit in betting with you, so why should I bet with you."
Li Yuanji smiled half-heartedly and said to Li Xiaogong: "If you bet with me, after I lose, I will tell you a secret, a huge secret."
Li Xiaogong subconsciously opened his eyes.
He wants to know.
But he also knew that 99% of this was a set-up.
The secret that Li Yuanji might call a big secret must be a great secret.
If Li Yuanji didn't say anything about this kind of secret, he would most likely not know it until the incident happened, or he might never know it for the rest of his life.
This made him very confused.
On the one hand, curiosity prompted him to eagerly want to know this huge secret.
On the one hand, reason tells him that there is a scam here, so don't be fooled, let alone be curious, otherwise it will be easy to fall into the trap.
In the struggle between these two different minds, he finally gritted his teeth and made a decision, "I don't care how big your secret is, I just won't gamble."
Li Yuanji suddenly became happy and said with a smile: "It seems that you have grown up. You know that curiosity can easily kill people, and you know how to restrain yourself. If you could restrain yourself when you were in Shang Yuan Ye, you wouldn't have
Being locked up in a palace near the water, I wouldn't be so frightened that I would run into the palace and kowtow to my father."
