Chapter 296
There was a sudden silence in the royal study.

The emperor was stunned.

Eunuch Chang and Eunuch An were shocked.

Even Changsun Jinghong never expected that Li Chenan, who has always been gentle, would become so irritable when he saw Ji Tai.

While everyone was in shock, Li Chenan rubbed his wrists, and Shi Shiran sat opposite the emperor.

The irritable mood on his face just now disappeared in an instant, and a smile appeared on his face instead.

"Your majesty, my minister...after all, I'm still young and energetic!"

"It's just that I can't bear it in my heart! What is the most urgent need of Ningguo?"

"It's food!"

"It is not only related to the payment of officials' salaries, but also the stability of the morale of the border troops, and even the relief of victims in case of natural disasters."

He took out the fire folder, lit the tea stove on the coffee table, raised his eyes to meet the emperor's, and said:

"Ji Tai, an old thief, does not seek his own government in his position. He forms a party in the court for personal gain, and makes the temple a mess!"

"Chen... Forget it, I won't talk about this anymore."

He suddenly turned his head to look at Chang Zuoqing who was still astonished, "Eunuch Chang, how about some tea?"

Chang Zuoqing swallowed a mouthful of saliva and then came back to his senses, he looked at the emperor, the emperor nodded slightly, and gave a command to Eunuch An beside him:
"Call someone to carry Ji Xiang to the imperial hospital."

"you……"

Ning Huang looked at Li Chen'an again: "Your punch has vented your anger, but have you thought about the consequences?"

The corner of Li Chenan's mouth curled up: "What else can he do with me?"

"Unless you spend your whole life hiding in the Imperial City Division... just like Changsun Jinghong, lying on that broken chair all day long, otherwise... you will be in great danger!"

Li Chenan pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked:
"So, the emperor knows about Ji Tai's bad deeds?"

Without waiting for the emperor to answer, Li Chenan said again:

"I really want to say a word to the emperor, let the past go, people have to look forward and move forward!"

"Your majesty is in the prime of life, as long as you sit in this palace, how can there be so many young people?"

"Under the emperor's governance, our Ning Kingdom will definitely get out of the current predicament and usher in a great situation where the country is prosperous and the people are safe."

"Chen...Chen doesn't need to lie under the crooked neck tree of the Imperial City Division anymore!"

As soon as these words came out, Eunuch Chang, who had just walked over with the tea pot, trembled suddenly, and the tea pot almost fell to the ground.

The elder Sun Jinghong beside Li Chenan was also startled suddenly, he pursed his lips and lowered his head slightly.

This kid, can you say this?
He is the emperor and your father!

How can there be any reason for a son to persuade his father?
Changsun Jinghong raised his eyes slightly, but found that the emperor's face was not angry, but rather lonely.

"I... I didn't ask you to come here, I didn't want you to beat up Prime Minister Ji to relieve your anger, nor did I ask you to persuade me."

"Now is not the time to discuss Ji Tai's rights and wrongs. The most urgent thing in front of me is to recover that batch of taxes and rations from me!"

"This matter will be handled by the Imperial City Secretary."

"In addition, I will leave the capital to go to Changle Palace in three days. After this matter is completed, I will write a detailed note for Eunuch Chang to send to Changle Palace."

Li Chenan nodded in response: "Chen, I must do my best!"

"Okay, I'm a little tired, you all step back!"

Li Chenan and Changsun Jinghong got up and were about to leave when the emperor said another sentence:
"Chen'an, come to the palace in the evening of the day after tomorrow and have a meal with me!"

……

……

"Why do that?"

After leaving the imperial study room, Changsun Jinghong and Li Chen'an, an old and a young man, were walking on the bluestone path in the palace, and Changsun Jinghong still couldn't help asking.

This refers to the matter of Li Chenan beating Ji Tai in front of the emperor.

"Just to prove your identity?"

"Or to test the bottom line of his tolerance for you?"

Li Chenan smiled slightly and shook his head, "Not at all."

After a pause, Li Chen'an said again: "I just can't get used to Ji Tai's face...it's so ugly, I can't help but want to beat him up."

Changsun Jinghong looked at Li Chenan suspiciously, "Really?"

"Well, I did it to annoy Ji Tai."

"A person is most likely to make wrong decisions when he is angry. I will always irritate Ji Tai. This is like playing chess. The faster he moves, the more flaws will appear, and the trend of the entire chess game will appear. Misjudgment."

"He's an old fox, and what he's good at is cunning and calculating, so we have to disrupt his rhythm and make it difficult for him to plan and calculate carefully!"

"In addition, I'm just curious, and want to know what kind of mentality the emperor has."

"I heard that before the incident in the third winter of Zhaohua, he was actually a good emperor who worked hard to govern. But after that, he changed completely."

"He built Changle Palace for Empress Lu, and has lived in Changle Palace since then... This shows that he is at least a person who is affectionate and empathetic."

"I don't quite believe that there is an emperor who loves beauty and abandons the country, but today, it seems that he really has no interest in the country."

"He clearly knows that my beating Ji Tai will definitely trigger many conflicts, and even lead to a huge turmoil, but did you see him frown?"

"He didn't! This shows that he doesn't care what happened in Kyoto, or even what happened in Ningguo."

"It's just that I have a question in my mind."

Changsun Jinghong stopped, turned around and looked at Li Chenan, "Do you have any questions?"

"Since he has such affection for Empress Lu, he should build Changle Palace near Empress Lu's tomb."

"It's like Xiao Wu's deep affection for Grandpa Sun. Xiao Wu buried Grandpa Sun's grave on Shuiyun Mountain, standing in the wilderness, and he can see it when he looks up."

"Queen Kelu's tomb is in the royal cemetery at the southern foot of the West Mountain, the Changle Palace, but it is under the East Mountain, which is hundreds of miles away from the West Mountain."

"This is unreasonable!"

Changsun Jinghong's heart had already set off monstrous waves, but his face did not show it.

"You think too much."

He raised his steps and walked forward, "Under the eastern mountain is the vast Qishuiyuan."

"Above Dongshan Mountain, there is the most famous Taiyi Taoist Temple in Ningguo."

"The emperor built the Changle Palace on Qishuiyuan at the foot of Dongshan Mountain. Firstly, there is enough space for a city. Secondly, it is convenient for him to practice Taoism in the Taiyi Taoist Temple, and it is also convenient for him to chant scriptures for Empress Lu."

Li Chenan raised his brows slightly, and did not discuss this issue with Changsun Jinghong.

Perhaps Chang Sun Jinghong was right.

It's just that he still has doubts.

The two passed by those yamen, only to find that the originally noisy yamen became quiet as soon as they passed by.

It's as if two hell kings really came to ask for their lives.

Changsun Jinghong laughed, "It seems that your punch still has some meaning."

"Of course, one punch is enough to avoid a hundred punches... From now on, when these bastards see me, they will be afraid of me!"
