Eight hundred and fortieth chapters everything has me
As the end of the year approaches, the festive atmosphere in Kyoto is getting stronger. In the Li Mansion, this festive atmosphere has not dissipated since the birth of the young master.
Today's house is even more lively.
Li Xuan's eldest concubine brought the little princess to visit. Ruyi didn't have many friends in Kyoto, and the eldest concubine was one of the few she could talk to. They were both pregnant at the same time, and the two children were born only a few hours apart.
This will invisibly add another layer of intimacy between them.
The two were talking in the room, and the two children were held by their respective mothers, looking at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
In another hall, Li Xuan said unconvinced: "Why not? You have to give me a reason, right?"
"If you say it won't work, it won't work. You don't need to do experiments. This method won't work. Give up this idea as soon as possible..." Li Yi waved his hand and said without hesitation.
On the road to science, he was just standing at the intersection, and he had a whimsical idea of using two pools, one high and one low, to create a device that would never stop moving to solve the problem of water collection in arid areas.
Not to mention that he is just a small prince, even if he becomes the emperor and can modify the laws of Jingguo, he cannot make any changes to the law of conservation of energy.
Li Xuan said firmly: "I still think this method is feasible. Brother Shen and I have the same idea. Just watch and you will know when the time comes."
Li Yi shook his head and said: "Don't go to such trouble, you might as well find a donkey, hang a handful of fresh grass by its mouth, and make it unable to eat anything, so that it will keep walking forward, you can
If you put that thing on a donkey and let it circle around, it can pump water from a low place to a high place..."
Li Xuan's face showed a thoughtful look, his eyes became brighter and brighter. At a certain moment, he suddenly patted his thigh and said, "Why didn't I think of this way?"
Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Okay, now you can go out to find your Brother Shen and think about it carefully. Mingzhu and I have something to say."
Li Xuan shook his head, sat down and said, "It's very cold outside. You can tell me what you think. I'll just think about it here and won't disturb you."
Li Yi looked at him without speaking.
Li Xuan looked at him, finally thought of something, stood up, nodded and said: "I understand, I understand, it is not safe here. You said, I will go out and look out for you..."
So having such a friend is really reliable, he can be betrayed at critical moments, and he can also be a lookout. With a friend like this, what more can I ask for...
Li Yi sat down at the table, poured a cup of tea for the two of them, and asked: "After Mr. Dong is transferred, are you sure you want Zeng Shichun to take over?"
Li Mingzhu nodded and said: "I am assured of his ability to do things, but..."
Li Yi knew what she was worried about. In matters like selecting officials, ability was important, but political stance was more important.
A person with not outstanding abilities but a firm stance is definitely more worthy of consideration than a person with outstanding abilities but wrong political stance.
Li Yi shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Zeng is a smart man and he knows what choices to make."
He has tested Zeng Shichun several times. For such a person, some things need not be stated at all. A look or a casual word can reach a certain tacit understanding.
To take a step back, since I can help him sit in this position, I can also invite him to come down. I will wait and see what happens in detail in the future.
"By the way, the Chinese New Year is approaching, and there will be a great court meeting soon. In the next half month, it will be the Lantern Festival again. A few days ago, the Cui family united with all the ministers to petition again to transfer the King of Shu back. What did Your Majesty say?" I thought?
Asked another thing, Li Yi turned to look at her and asked.
"Practice fraud, build momentum among the people, and incite public opinion..." Li Mingzhu shook his head and said: "Those things he did are no different from rebellion. How could my father forgive him so easily? He had already issued an order to the two prime ministers, and then
If you encounter such a discount, just fight it off..."
"Your Majesty's children are each smarter than the last. How could the King of Shu..." A trace of doubt appeared on Li Yi's face, and he asked in surprise: "Tell me, is there a possibility, um..."
Li Mingzhu covered his mouth and frowned: "Are we allowed to say such nonsense?"
Li Yi took her hand away and said innocently: "I just want to ask, did King Shu have a fever or something when he was a child, which burned out his brain..."
"Speaking of the King of Shu..." A hint of doubt appeared on Li Mingzhu's face, "Even though he is a bit reckless in his daily behavior, he cannot be so reckless and choose such an opportunity..."
She looked at Li Yi with burning eyes and asked, "Honestly, are you..."
"We are familiar with each other, and you are talking nonsense like this - I still can't do anything to you."
He looked at her seriously and said, "You have a different status now, so you must remember to be careful in your words and deeds..."
After giving her a warning, he stood up and walked out the door.
"What are you going to do?"
"You finally have a day off. Have a good rest. I'll go talk to Li Xuan about the donkey..."
…
The court has always been sensitive, and even a slight disturbance will be magnified countless times, not to mention that Jingzhao Yin Dong Wenyun is about to be transferred to Zhongshu to hold an important position. Jingzhao Yin's position may be taken over by Zeng Shichun, the Minister of Household Affairs.
It is said that it is taking over, but in fact it is not just taking over.
Because there was no sound from the court about who would take over the position of Minister of Household Affairs.
This shows that while Zeng Shichun was serving as Jing Zhaoyin, he also served as the Minister of Household Affairs. The meaning of this is completely different.
Cui family.
The head of the Cui family was full of doubts. He paced down the hall and murmured: "How could it be Mr. Zeng..."
This time, they indeed used a lot of effort and even paid a lot of money to determine the list of people who would take over Jing Zhaoyin's position, just to ensure that this position would not fall into the hands of others.
However, there were not many people among them who were qualified to take over this position, so out of desperation, Zeng Shichun was chosen. It was better than giving up that spot to others and risking being left behind.
But no one expected that Zeng Shichun actually... actually went up.
Although they didn't lose anything and got their wish, they got one of their own in that position, but it was completely different from what they planned, and even some subsequent arrangements were affected.
A man stepped forward and said, "Brother, why bother? Is it Mr. Zeng or Mr. Qin who is going up? What's the difference? Even if it deviates from what we expected, it is always a good thing, right?"
"Having said that, I can't figure out the eldest princess's thoughts at all. Among the other people, which one is not more suitable than Mr. Zeng..." After saying this, he shook his head.
He shook his head and said: "You are right. No matter what, this matter is a good thing for us. You go and send the invitation in person. There will be a banquet at Zuiyue Tower tomorrow night. We will congratulate Mr. Zeng..."
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to Zeng Mansion right away."
…
Today I made an appointment with Zui Mo to go to Zeng's house to retrieve her parents' spiritual tablets. Along the way, the closer she was to Zeng's house, the slower her steps became. Until she was about to reach the door of Zeng's house, she finally stopped.
I lost my pace and couldn't take a step forward.
Li Yi turned around and realized that she was staring blankly at the gate of Zeng Mansion with extremely complicated eyes.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything." Li Yi held her hand, exerted a little force, and then strode towards the door of the house.
