Chapter 394 Don't Recruit People You Shouldn't Recruit

From an emotional point of view, the emperor sent the little prince, who was only eight years old, to the fiefdom, which was indeed too cruel and heartless.

This kind of ruthlessness is not a parting of family affection, but a kind of resignation to fate.

Such a small child, placed thousands of miles away, a small typhoid fever is a fatal blow, not to mention that there is no one close to him.

Under the dual pressure of body and spirit, whether he can survive or not depends entirely on destiny.

But from the emperor's status, the emperor's doing so is precisely a kind of protection.

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, Jin Wang is far away in the fiefdom, and he cannot avoid the undercurrents in the court. If he is in this imperial city, even if he doesn't want to, he will fall into the vortex of power.

But the prince can only have one.

Once this struggle starts, it will ruin the court at least, or stain the mountains and rivers with blood. No matter what the result is, it will be a disaster for the community.

Li Xuanye has been in contact with government affairs since he was a child, so he naturally understands this kind of behavior very well.

But, can Li Chengfeng do it?
Li Xuanye stared at the face in front of him, which was both righteous and evil, and sighed softly from the bottom of his heart.

He suppressed the trace of displeasure, and said with a good temper: "Stomach disease is not a serious illness. There are many famous doctors in Beijing. Take care of it for a while, and maybe it will be cured in spring."

Li Chengfeng obviously didn't intend to accept this favor, the corner of his mouth curled up, and he said very presumptuously: "It's a chronic disease, how can it be cured?"

"..."

His Royal Highness, the last bit of patience was worn out, and he said coldly: "Li Chengfeng!"

"What's the matter?" Li Chengfeng laughed, poured another glass of sake, raised his head and drank it down in one gulp, lightened the bottom of the glass at him without fear of death, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "Brother, the wine here is delicious! How about giving the second brother a jar?"

Seeing him playing blindly, Li Xuanye's face darkened: "I have eaten the meal and changed my clothes, do you want me to take you to plead guilty to the emperor?"

As he spoke, he called coldly outside the door: "Come here! Send King Jin back to the palace!"

"Yes!"

"Wait!" Seeing that he was going to get angry, Li Chengfeng finally restrained his cynical manner, and said seriously: "My voice is not good yet!"

Just because of this indistinguishable voice, once he opened his voice in front of the emperor, he couldn't guarantee what would happen next...

Li Xuanye smiled coldly, and reprimanded: "You also know that you can't see people like this? Didn't you have a good time in the teahouse?"

When mentioning the teahouse, Li Chengfeng suddenly thought of that bubbly and clever little lady...

He revealed his identity with a few words, and tore off his veil at the slightest disagreement. At that time, he thought it was funny and teased a few words, but who would have thought it was the princess?

His eyes flashed faintly, and the corner of his mouth curled up in a playful arc: "This is all a misunderstanding, and the Crown Princess didn't mean to tear my veil, brother won't be jealous of me for this, right—"

"Li Chengfeng!" Li Xuanye suddenly shouted coldly again.

Li Chengfeng didn't know whether it was a guilty conscience or what, he paused for no reason, and looked at him.

Li Xuanye stared at him gravely.

The coercion came invisibly, Li Chengfeng held the hand of the wine glass, and subconsciously put it away in his sleeve.

He vaguely remembered when he was a child, he hadn't left Beijing, and Li Xuanye hadn't been in charge of politics yet, and they were still brothers and sisters.

But every time he made a mistake, Li Xuanye would stare at him with such eyes until he automatically admitted his mistake.

At that time, they hadn't been so tempting, suspicious, and estranged...

When he was wandering in the sky, Li Xuanye got up from his seat, walked around the table and walked to the window.

Li Chengfeng couldn't help but raised his eyes and looked over.

He stood under the window with his hands behind his back, looking far into the distance, and said in a calm tone, "You have grudges against the father, I don't blame you, and the father won't blame you—"

Li Chengfeng said "Oh?", smiled meaninglessly, and said, "What do you want to blame me for?"

Ask him to leave Beijing thousands of miles away, and he accepts it obediently.

The separation of mother and child, and not being able to see each other for ten years, he also silently endured it.

Now, his mother and concubine have been reduced to a talented person and thrown into the cold palace, he hasn't said anything yet!

He really didn't know, why should they blame him?
Coupled with his gorgeous and romantic face, which is both righteous and evil, any slight cynicism will be magnified to infinity, not to mention that he never thought of covering it up.

"What's your fault?" Li Xuanye turned around and said, "Then tell me, what's the difference between you avoiding the guards sent by your father and entering the capital by hiding your identity, and returning to the capital privately? That's all, people." They are already under the imperial city, why do you still hide in the market and refuse to enter the palace?"

Li Chengfeng was at a loss for words for a moment.

Li Xuanye glanced at his expression, and guessed what he was thinking, and immediately there was anger that hated iron and steel: "You think the father is going to kill you? Do you think I can't tolerate you? Li Cheng Feng..." He glanced at the young man in front of him in disappointment, "Why do you think I agreed with you to return to Beijing? To lure the snake out of the hole or to catch the turtle in the urn?"

He smiled lightly: "With my current strength, it's not enough to use this method to deal with you, is it?"

"Yeah..." Li Chengfeng smiled, he was always unrestrained, but at this moment he suddenly felt bitter.

"You are the son of my father and my brother. If I hurt you, I will hurt my father. Is this difficult to understand?"

Li Chengfeng smiled again.

He is the prince, but didn't his mother and concubine just say demoted?

Li Xuanye seemed to see through his thoughts, and said again: "As for your mother concubine Pei, she committed such a crime, and she was only demoted as a talented person. This is for your sake."

"What's wrong with her?" Li Chengfeng's breath stopped.

"Even though the father is a little cold to you, you really don't know how much you have acted recklessly in the fief all these years? The local officials are like snowflakes of impeaching you. Why did he ever blame you? You made friends with rangers and pretended to be grassroots bandits. , and even helped the bandits to fight against the local government, why did the emperor ever restrain you?"

Li Xuanye said slowly, "If I'm not wrong, it was the Pei family who sent you a letter, and you thought that your father wanted to kill the Pei family, so you wanted to go back to Beijing regardless, didn't you? "

"I..." Li Chengfeng's throat tightened.

"Your mother and concubine have fallen into such a state, and you have to blame for it. For your face, I will not speak out in person." Li Xuanye glanced at him: "When you return to the palace, Father will tell you."

"Yes..." Li Chengfeng couldn't guess what happened, but he vaguely felt the seriousness of the matter from Li Xuanye's words.

He flicked his sleeves and bowed his hands: "Then I'll go back first."

"Go!" Li Xuanye raised his hand, and when he reached the entrance of the hall, he suddenly called again: "Li Chengfeng."

"What?" He stopped and turned around.

But he saw Li Xuanye standing in the atrium, with his hands on his hips, his eyes narrowed slightly, looking at him coldly.

"Anything else?" He raised his eyebrows.

Li Xuanye stared at him for a long while, swallowed all the rest of the words of reproach, and said coldly: "Since you're back, please settle down! Don't recruit people you shouldn't, don't mess with me!" Something that shouldn't be messed with!"

ps: I just got off work, and I finished coding the update in the car, so tired... I'm going to be paralyzed
