Li Ye, dressed in a black robe, walked out of the gate with his hands clasped behind his back and looked at Li Guanshu who was in front of the gate with sarcasm in his eyes. "Uncle, you came to visit me as soon as you came back. I'm really flattered."
Li Guanshu frowned slightly at the guards' strict discipline. Seeing Li Ye who carefreely went out the door and was calm, poised, and completely unafraid, Li Guanshu could not help snorting. "Yesterday, your Manor was attacked and Li Yao worried about you and came to help you. Where is he now?!"
Li Ye sneered and answered, "No one came to help me last night, only Pang Xun's followers came to attack."
"Li Ye!" Li Guanshu's face was abruptly severe. "Do you know what you're talking about?"
Li Ye said, "Duke Xing, do you know what you're talking about?"
Li Guanshu said, "Now I speak to you politely in orde
Li Ye, Li Yan, and Wu You went back to the hall and sat down. Li Yan threw himself on the seat, leaned on it and said to Li Ye, "Will Duke Xing give in?" Li Ye drank tea and answered, "It's hard to say." Li Yan said, "If so, I won't leave for a few days and live here. So Duke Xing won't dare to play dirty tricks on you." Li Ye smiled and said, "For you, a prince, to stay here and not leave, aren't you afraid of being criticized by others?" Li Yan replied without care, "I don't want to be the Heir Prince. So I needn't care about the supervisors' remarks on me. As long as I don't do anything malicious, I would be reprimanded at most. It doesn't matter. On the contrary, I care about your situation more." While the two were talking, Wu You's face suddenly changed slightly. She took out the Messaging Jade Note. When Li Ye looked over, her little face was already sad. &q
At this time in the Last Life, Li Yan did not say this to Li Ye. So Li Ye only felt unhappy that the imperial court didn't award Prince An, who died in Huainan for the country. He only felt unhappy. After all, he was driven out of Prince An's Manor soon after and had difficulty protecting himself. It was useless to think too much about his father's death at that time. Li Ye looked at Li Yan and suddenly said, "The rumors you heard, you haven't finished speaking of them yet?" Li Yan stunned. "How did you know?" He touched his head and felt somewhat awkward. "Don't blame me for not finishing it. The following words were too shocking, and criticize the imperial court and his Majesty. I didn't intend to say..." He wanted to be simple, and had only intended to say half of the rumors, and it was clear to see that he was still immature. Li Ye laughed. "The rumor must be that my father was killed in t
Li Guanshu leaned forward slightly. "Duke Kang, according to your words, what should I do?" Kang Chengxun said with a smile. "I don't dare order the Duke. I just think that you can't be humiliated by Li Ye." Li Guanshu's face slightly trembled. He almost couldn't help standing up. But he restrained himself and bowed to Wei Baoheng who sat in the Host's Seat. "Duke Wei, just let this matter go. This time Yao'er fell into the hands of Li Ye, I hope that he can learn from it. As for the title... I don't want it. In the future, there are many opportunities to deal with Li Ye.” Wei Baoheng looked at Li Guanshu, and there was no change in his look. Then he said, "Have you already decided?" "There is no other way." Li Guanshu was shamed and resentful. Wei Baoheng nodded. "Since the Duke has made up his mind, I shouldn't say more. Well, we'll let it go according to your id
The entire of Prince An's Manor was decorated with lanterns and colored hangings. The Manor covered more than 20 acres of land and was full of festive decorations, window decals, and ribbons hanging under the eaves. This scene was not inferior to a marriage's. The guards patrolled to and fro with their chests and heads high. The servants shuttled back and forth with their brilliant smiles. The maidservants served drinks with laughter and cheerful voices. The main courtyard was filled with people. Each of the subordinate officers in the Manor had their specific duties and responsibilities. Some of them were in charge of getting ready the platform, flags, and weapons to be carried by the guards of honor. Most of them were responsible for receiving the princes and nobles who came to observe the ceremony. Because the weather was getting warmer and the sun was getting stronger, curtains were set up on both sides of the courtyard and were equipped with seats. Servants and ma
Wang Duo looked at Li Ye with a severe countenance, "Your Highness is a bright person, you must understand the stakes here. If you quiet down and live a secluded life in your manor after you get the royal title, you will give them no opportunity, thus you can protect yourself. But if you want to start your official career, you will get yourself into trouble and give your opponents chances. How you make the choice, you must give it careful consideration." Li Ye did not have to think deeply. He shook his head, "What Mr. Wang just said is far from the truth. Living a secluded life can't make me stay out of trouble or keep me safe, can it? I think it cannot. If Duke Xing wants to deal with me, there are many means. Incriminating someone with planted evidence is the best trick for those who scramble for power and wealth. Although I'm young, I also know the truth that when sailing against the current, one must forge ahead or you will be driven back. Now I am a
Li Yan didn't speak. He didn't know what to say. After a long while, Li Ye finally asked a proper question. "The four high-ranking eunuchs didn't already settle on Elder Brother?" Li Ye answered, "Of course." Li Yan asked, puzzled, "Why?" Li Ye said, "Because the Prime Minister has settled on the Eldest Prince." Li Yan was surprised. "It's not possible if you get chosen by the Prime Minister?" Li Ye nodded. "The four high-ranking eunuchs won't settle on somebody who has been settled on by the Prime Minister." Li Yan was more confused. "Why is that?" Li Ye said, "The eunuchs and the officials have opposed each other since ancient times. This is one of the reasons. If the Eldest Prince is settled on by officials, then when he ascends to the throne, he would put officials in an important
The Guanzhong area had flat plains and a vast expanse of fertile land. The Wei River here was rushing and had no danger. It could be said that heaven sent the Wei river for Guanzhong. And because of the fertile plain and Wei river, Guanzhong has always been the heart of the world. Since ancient times, if those who occupied Guanzhong could make great efforts, then they could take hegemony of the world. Since ancient times, many heroes of Guanzhong have come out in succession and innumerable heroes have become famous in the world. So people have said that Guanzhong cultivates generals as well as emperors. There was a branch in the south of Wei River, which was called Lao River. It was about 50 kilometers west of Chang'an City. If one walked along the Lao River for about 50 kilometers, he or she would see a mountain. It was Niushou Mountain, the source of the Lao River. At the beginning of May, Li Ye went to Niushou Mountain. The
The village, named Luoping, was not the first village explored by Li Ye and others, nor was it the last. Along the way, Li Ye and others had not been ambushed in the previous villages. "How dare you rebels attack us!" A youth of the Imperial Clan angrily rebuked as he retreated. "Do you know who we are? Here are the Grand Princes, the Duchesses, and the Heir Apparents of the Tang Empire. If you hurt any one of us, the Imperial Court's officials would arrest and kill you even if you flee to the ends of the earth!" His roar did not make the attackers shrink back, but attracted the attention of many people. More people rushed to him to attacked him. "You are the Imperial Court's dogs, we're killing you!" "Stop them!" This youth of the Imperial Clan immediately panicked and hurriedly ordered his attendant. It was at this time that Li Ye stopped Shangguan Qingcheng who was going
