Chapter 2672 Your Highness should be careful, the ancestral temple will not be burned
Li Shimin and Li Ke, father and son, stared at Cheng Sanlang in front of them with a shy smile on his face, but he said the cruelest words.
After Cheng Chubi finished speaking, he saw his father-in-law raised his finger and pointed at him with a dark face, and quickly moved his butt back and declared.
"This plan is too costly. My son-in-law has rejected it. Don't worry, my son-in-law is a serious person and will never do anything that would harm others or benefit himself."
Li Shimin took a deep breath, retracted his hand and put it on his beard, his eyelids twitching wildly.
Sure enough, he is indeed Cheng Chu Bi, the King of Monsters and Moths.
If the gods are on fire, if your mother is on fire. After I return to Luoyang and calm down the turmoil, where should I preside over the court meeting?
This kind of trick that hurts others and hurts both sides was something he couldn't even think of.
Fortunately, this kid still has some self-awareness and didn't propose this strategy. Otherwise, I would have wanted to burn this kid on the spot.
Li Ke quietly raised his thumb towards Cheng Sanlang with a sincere look on his face. Of course it was not a compliment, but a kind of admiration.
This move is just like telling the world that if I go crazy and even beat myself up, I am asking you if you are afraid.
Looking at his father-in-law, who was stroking his beard and taking deep breaths with a straight face, Cheng Chubi said with a smile.
"There is another trick, needless to say, my son-in-law..."
"Well, you should think about it and see if there is a more appropriate way. I really don't want to hear this kind of lose-lose method anymore."
Li Shimin waved his hands in disgust, taking deep breaths frequently and trying not to get angry.
This kid wants to burn down the palace, but it is for his own good, to help him solve the problem, just don't be the same as him. The main reason is not to care.
When Cheng Chubi saw that his father-in-law had no intention of getting angry, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and decided to deal with Li Zhi. This was indeed not a good idea.
After all, in the eyes of his father-in-law, Li Zhi is just a disobedient brat at most. If he wants to be beaten or scolded, that is his family's business, and he does not need to take the initiative to help.
At most, he could just help pass the whip dipped in pepper water, or help catch the squealing kid and make him lie down and be beaten.
We can’t burn down the Ziwei Palace, and we can’t plot against Jin Wang Li Zhi. So what other tricks can we use to make this enthronement ceremony impossible?
And it is best to burn all the dragon robes at the minimum cost to prevent the enthronement ceremony from happening? Well... it would be more difficult to burn only the dragon robes without burning the palace.
And that thing is too hidden, hard to handle, and as for destroying the jade seal, haha... I'm afraid my father-in-law will just cut him into pieces first.
Cheng Chubi's eyes began to roll, and he carefully recalled what his father-in-law had just said, that there were several important points in the enthronement ceremony.
One is to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, and the other is to offer sacrifices to the ancestral hall... Well, when he thought of this, Cheng Sanlang's eyes suddenly lit up.
There is a head start, there is a head start... Since the palace can't be burned and Li Zhi can't do it, then we can do something else, such as... well, let's forget about the ancestral hall.
After all, the tablets representing the ancestors of Lao Li's family are all staying there, enjoying the offerings of their children and grandchildren day and night.
If I suggested setting fire to the place, maybe my extremely angry father-in-law would be able to set himself on fire first.
After excluding the ancestral hall, only round mounds and square mounds for worshiping heaven and earth are left, that is, the two iconic sacrificial buildings of the Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Earth.
In ancient times, people worshiped heaven on round mounds in the south of the country, and worshiped earth on square mounds in the middle of the country in the north of the country. Therefore, they followed the yin and yang, and followed the laws of height and low, and served the heaven and earth in the same way.
Therefore, as an important place for worshiping heaven and earth, round mounds are located in the south of Luoyang City, while square mounds are located in the north of Luoyang City.
The key point is that whether it is a round hill or a square hill, they are both located outside Luoyang City. If you want to get close to them, you should not be too relaxed.
"Xian son-in-law, what did you think of again?"
When Li Shimin saw the strange smile on Cheng Sanlang's face, he couldn't help but feel alarm bells ringing in his heart, fearing that this kid would come up with some lose-lose trick again.
Then he saw Cheng Sanlang in front of him smiling confidently again.
"My father-in-law and son-in-law think that as long as the palace is not destroyed and innocent people are not harmed.
If you want to destroy this enthronement ceremony, it is still feasible."
"You have another idea?" Li Ke couldn't help but wonder. How could Brother Chu Bi's mind move so fast?
"Haha, this is natural." Facing Li Ke's gaze, Cheng Chubi's smile looked so calm and confident.
However, after learning from the previous experience, Li Shimin did not dare to show too much expectation at the first time.
"Well, dear son-in-law, please tell me first and let me hear it and see if it's feasible."
Then he saw Cheng Sanlang in front of him stretched out his finger, dipped some tea in the tea cup in front of Li Ke, and drew a circle and a square on the table.
"..." Li Ke's face turned dark. He did it on purpose. Brother Chu Bi was clearly trying to take revenge on himself.
Cheng Chubi had no time to deal with the vengeful King Wu, so he quickly opened his mouth to divert his father-in-law's attention.
"My father-in-law, think about it, since the procedures for the enthronement ceremony include worshiping heaven and earth, as well as worshiping the ancestral temple."
"Let's put the ancestral temple aside for now. We can definitely start working on the round and square mounds that worship the heaven and earth."
"..." Li Shimin's expression fluctuated violently again, and his eyelids were twitching wildly. After a long time, he finally asked with some difficulty.
"You mean to burn the round mound for worshiping the sky and the square mound for worshiping the earth?"
When Li Ke heard this, he was so happy that he almost laughed out loud. He pointed his finger at the round sky and square square where the water stains on the eucalyptus table had not dissipated.
"Brother Chu Bi, whether it is a round hill or a square hill, they are all made of bricks, stones and soil, and they are not ancestral temples with brick and wood structures.
You can burn that thing for three days and three nights and it won't be of any use, okay?"
After hearing this, Cheng Chubi looked at Li Ke with an exaggerated expression, and then he let out a long sigh.
Patting Li Ke's fingers, he persuaded him earnestly.
"Your Highness, be careful what you say, the ancestral temple cannot be burned..."
As soon as Brother Chu Bi said these words, Li Ke felt a chill on his spine and his hair stood on end.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his father's eyes falling on him. His eyes were fierce and his expression was ferocious, as if he was trying to eat a living person.
"I didn't, I'm not, brother Chu Bi, don't talk nonsense, dad, I definitely didn't mean that, I was just making an analogy."
"Don't use this kind of comparison in the future." Li Shimin made a face and glared at Yingguo Lei's biological son with an unyielding look.
"Yes, yes, the child has confessed his sin." Li Ke quickly apologized to his biological father. After he finished his apology, he turned his face, with a hint of sadness in his expression of resentment.
