Chapter 2360: Going up the mountain to pick up millet
These two marquises have neither salaries nor fiefdoms, so their reputations are absolutely false.
Of course none of the ministers objected.
Anyway, the two titles given by His Majesty make it impossible for anyone to envy the positions of these two marquises.
It's just to satisfy His Majesty's bad taste.
But to be honest, this bad taste is still not as good as the title "An Le Gong".
Li Xingchen came to Jinling Academy to inspect, walked around the entire front mountain, and then made a special trip to the back mountain to see Yang Jian. Chen Shubao and Yu Wenyun were not complete fools. Of course, this was not the time to bury their heads in the sand and pretend they didn't know anything.
On the contrary, you have to take the initiative to increase your presence and show your loyalty.
They can't expect Li Xingchen to forget them.
The world was divided into north and south. After all, Yang Jian was just a powerful official in the Northern Dynasty. Xiao Kui was just a hero who was caught in the cracks and separated one side. Even if he proclaimed himself emperor, he was just a puppet under the Northern Zhou Dynasty who took life and death and was determined by others.
The real last emperors of the two behemoths of the north and the south were the two of them.
Li Xingchen forgot that no one would forget these two "brother-in-laws" who had the potential to bring trouble to one party even after being supported by the old ministers.
So Li Xingchen came to see Yang Jian, but didn't say he wanted to see them.
What does this mean? You no longer intend to test their minds and listen to them express their desire to die for the Han Dynasty?
Could it be that when His Majesty passed by the intersection leading to the house where they lived, he thought of something, waved his hand and directly said: Kill it, there is no use keeping it?
Who can guarantee this, so the two of them rushed to wait, just to be able to shout "Long live" to His Majesty.
Of course, Li Xingchen didn't know whether to laugh or cry about these two guys' extra drama, but it wouldn't be a bad thing to take the opportunity to beat the two of them, lest these two guys really worry about it day by day, and finally decide to take risks and cause some trouble for themselves.
.
Now the internal development of the Han Dynasty has reached a critical stage. The human, material and financial resources are extremely tight. A little turmoil may cause serious damage.
The words "live a good life" not only reassured them, but also naturally meant that Li Xingchen said that I am very satisfied with you as you are now and don't think about causing trouble.
Yu Wenyun and Chen Shubao kowtowed again and again in excitement.
Li Xingchen glanced at Yang Lihua next to him.
Yang Lihua stared at Yu Wenyun's figure, her face was silent, and she just squeezed Li Xingchen's hand tightly.
This man who once threatened him, this man who once slept with him (*) and had strange dreams, this man who only has the ability to be stern with women in the harem...
Now he kowtows repeatedly, and occasionally looks at himself with pleading and regret, as if he hopes that he can forgive him for what he did back then, and even say a few good words for him in front of His Majesty.
Such Yu Wenyun is the Yu Wenyun Yang Lihua has never seen before.
Half of my life, the best years of my youth, were ruined in the hands of such a person.
It's really not worth it.
In vain did I ever think that he was someone worthy of my deep love.
Li Xingchen let go of his hand, hugged Yang Lihua, and walked straight down the mountain.
A guy who only knows how to be cruel to women will never achieve anything.
At least Li Xingchen had some expectations just now. When this guy saw the unspeakable friendship between him and Yang Lihua holding hands and looking at each other, he would jump up and curse, or at least show a bit of resentment.
But he didn't.
Maybe Yu Wenyun was hiding it deeply, and he didn't want to show some emotions that would make Li Xingchen alert at this time.
Or maybe...
He himself did not truly regard Yang Lihua, the woman forced on him through political marriage, as his wife or his royal queen.
Especially after Yu Wenyong died and Yang Jian came to power and usurped his power as emperor, it was impossible for him to have a good impression of Yang Lihua, the daughter of the tool Yang Jian relied on to rise to power.
Yu Wenyun wanted to depose the queen and even threatened to kill Yang Lihua, not once or twice.
He has nothing but hatred for this woman.
So what he was hiding at this time was not his resentment towards His Majesty for taking away his nominal wife, but his hatred for Yang Jian and Yang Lihua.
Because this woman may still affect his life or death.
Based on Li Xingchen's understanding of Yu Wenyun, the possibility of the latter is far greater than the former.
Yang Lihua should also have understood this. At this time, she silently leaned on Li Xinchen's shoulder and let Li Xinchen hold her waist.
Li Xingchen smiled and said: "I went up the mountain to pick weeds and came down to meet my old husband. It's really the right time."
Yang Lihua, who originally seemed to be at a loss, suddenly came to her senses.
I went up the mountain to pick wormwood and went down the mountain to meet my old husband.
I knelt down and asked my old husband, "What will happen to the new couple?"
This is about a divorced wife asking her ex-husband with a trace of hope. Even if it is such hope, even she knows it is impossible, because her ex-husband now has a new love.
"You don't respond to the situation." Yang Lihua retorted, staring at Li Xingchen, "You don't respond to the situation!"
Li Xingchen was stunned for a moment. In fact, he just suddenly thought of this poem and made a joke with Yang Lihua. Seeing Yang Lihua's dejected look, he didn't expect her to answer, but he didn't expect that she would get so angry afterward.
.
Without waiting for what Li Xingchen was saying, Yang Lihua clenched her fists and gritted her teeth and said:
"The only people I can kneel to are heaven and earth, your majesty and my mother-in-law. How virtuous and capable is this person to be worthy of my kneeling ceremony? What's more, in my heart, this old husband is not worthy of being a human being, let alone being a human being."
I don’t recognize my husband, so I won’t ask him how he is as a ‘new man’. But my current husband is much better than this!”
Li Xunchen was stunned, then laughed out loud.
It is rare to see Yang Lihua with such an angry expression.
The last line of this poem says: New people are not as good as old people.
Obviously, the old husband looked at his ex-wife with a lot of regret and regret.
But when Yu Wenyun looked at Yang Lihua today, he really didn't have such emotion.
Yang Lihua naturally didn't have such feelings for him, because the Li Xingchen in front of her was infinitely better than that guy who could only kowtow!
So she has no regrets, and she doesn't even think there is any comparison between Yu Wenyun and Li Xingchen. That one is not a human being at all.
Before Yang Lihua could react, Li Xingchen had already grabbed her and kissed her.
Yang Lihua subconsciously pressed his chest, but it was more like a show. When Li Xingchen's kiss came roughly, her body and mind seemed to have melted into it.
I went up the mountain to pick wormwood and went down the mountain to meet my old husband.
When you join hands with someone new, your smile is not as good as that of a dog.
After Li Xingchen was far away, Chen Shubao and Yu Wenyun, brothers in distress, helped each other to stand up. Listening to the faint laughter coming from down the mountain, the two looked at each other.
Your Majesty is in a good mood, we can get drunk again today!
No worries today, let’s talk about tomorrow’s matters!
