Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 642 is against human ethics (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)

The vegetable porridge is ready, the princess has a full bowl, and everyone else has a small bowl.

When the princess saw that everyone was eating with him behind their backs, she burst into tears. After eating a few mouthfuls, she went back to the table.

There was silence in the room. Even Li You respected the princess. The children were so impressed that they naturally also respected the princess very much.The princess was displeased, and no one else dared to speak.

Although the princess is born noble and no one can mess with her, children all like the princess very much.Because she never eats much, half a bowl of porridge is left every time.When the princess left, the children rushed to grab the princess' bowl to drink porridge.

This princess ranked sixth among the children of the First Emperor.It's just that she doesn't have any brothers, otherwise she wouldn't have nowhere to go.There is only one mother, and she is a Korean princess in her early years.

She stood indoors, looking at her appearance from the clear water in the tank. She touched her face and found that the skin on her fingers had begun to harden.

Tears flowed down silently, and I just thought: My father is so ruthless!

Li You and Li Lu, father and son, usually share a large bowl of rice.There is too much surplus food this year, so the two of them can eat more than half a bowl at present, and they can't be full, but it's not just that they are too hungry at night to sleep, and Ai Ai will not go to others for rice every now and then.

In the early years, neither of them knew how to farm. They wanted to start a business, but they had no capital.

The dusk finally pulled down and fell by the window.Li Lu had nothing to read at night and could not kill time. His wife and concubines had all run away, so he could only sit in the yard alone and sigh at the moon.

Suddenly, Li You walked up to Li Lu.

Ever since the Li family was in trouble, Li Lu had been reticent to talk to his father.When working in the mausoleum, we all worked in separate pits.

Li You said to Li Lu:

"Lu'er, I have something to discuss with you as a father!"

"Now our family has settled down. Although there is not much food in the family, we can't die of starvation now. I thought that even if I didn't eat it myself, I would take your two younger brothers back. After all, they are the flesh and blood of my father. Even if the Li family Although we are defeated, we must not abandon our two children."

Li Lu was a little shocked and a little scared after hearing this.

"Father, our family only has three acres of land. The two of us are too busy at all, and we have to rely on my father and fellow villagers. What do you think, you want to get your two brothers back?"

"It's because my father can't forgive you for making you endure such suffering and not having enough to eat."

"Father, don't cry. I've thought about it. The reason why our Li family is what we are today is all because of the late emperor. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, he pardons the prisoners, releases many prisoners, and imposes benevolence and justice. Isn't this what we want to do again? Is it a good opportunity? I don’t want to live this kind of life of being dependent on others anymore, and I think my father doesn’t want to either. My father told me at the beginning that if you keep the green hills, you won’t have to worry about having no firewood. Now is the time.”

"What you said is true. It's just our family. Your Majesty has given birth to a son."

"Father, you can't say that. My great-grandfather once died under the sword of the Qin people, but my grandfather is willing to serve the King of Qin. It can be seen that fame and wealth are more important than anything else. If there is a chance to stand on the court again, the situation will rise again, and the past will be destroyed. , I don’t care about it myself. I just ask His Majesty to forgive me."

Li Lu's words naturally touched Li You's heart.

"My family has fallen from a rat in the barn to a rat in the toilet. How embarrassing it is. If we can return to the palace of government, what can't we do?"

"It's good that my father has such a will. I think that if the Li family wants to recover, they have to rely on the princess. The princess is kind-hearted and will definitely be willing to help my father."

After hearing this, Li You glanced at the window.But he saw the thirty-year-old princess sitting by the window looking at him.

"You mean, relying on the princess to return to Xianyang City?"

"If you want to make a comeback, you must rely on this method."

Li You thought about this method, but it was difficult to implement. The princess was indeed noble, but no one helped them, so it still didn't help.

Li You just wanted to solve the problem that worried him most at the moment, so he said:

"This matter doesn't have to be so urgent."

"Father, how many decades can life last!? I don't want to be trapped here for the rest of my life! These villagers don't like to take a bath, they only know how to talk nonsense, and they are rough and rough. My son doesn't want to live with them all his life. .”

Li Lu was furious and Li You was shocked.

"Asshole! Keep your voice down!"

Li Lu finally calmed down, but still gritted his teeth.

"I have been thinking about making a comeback for a long time, and it will definitely not happen in March or May. Only now is the time ripe."

After hearing this, Li Lu bowed with his fists in a decent manner:

"Now that all the property of our Li family has been merged by the Feng family, your wife and children are also in the Feng family. According to our current status, those family properties cannot be recovered. But the Feng family owes our family Favor."

Thinking of his wife, Li Lu had a headache.Even the princesses have not remarried, but you, Ms. Feng, ran back to your natal family on your own!

"First of all, you have to get your brothers back. As for my father's concubine, if she doesn't want to come back, just treat it as a lost bitch in the family. For this reason, the flesh and blood of the Li family should not be lost. outer."

Li Lu looked slightly unnatural after hearing this.

"Secondly, after you find your brother, there will be a few more people in the family. You can let him herd the sheep and teach him how to farm. Men are all laborers. How can you stay in other people's homes and be driven by their cattle and horses."

"Thirdly, the late emperor has long since passed away. Now the second generation is in power, focusing on civility, treating scholars well, advocating benevolent government, and selecting a large number of literary officials. My father and I are both people who are proficient in pen and ink. It has only been three years since we came to this place. , I have already won the respect of the local people because I can read and write. I thought about re-entering the officialdom, but this will only make His Majesty angry."

"It's just that in this current situation, outsiders say that I am the son of Xianting Lieutenant Li Si, and few people are willing to pay attention to him. If I continue to live a life worse than death, I'm afraid I won't even survive 45."

Li Lu comforted him:
"Father, don't say such things. We have survived the hard labor in Lishan. When we just left Lishan, we only had a grain carriage. In order to make a living, we sold all the carriages to have this house. As a last resort, we had to rely on other people's homes. I could barely make ends meet by hosting funerals, spreading paper money, and copying and writing.”

"So, there is only business. I know where there are experts who are good at business and know how to handle national finances. Your Majesty will definitely be very eager for such a person. As long as I persuade him to come to Xianyang City, he will definitely be grateful to me."

Li Youneng is the governor of Sanchuan County, so he naturally has a wide range of contacts.

Li Lu was stunned for a long time after hearing this. He was a little happy at first, because he thought that his father actually had no chance.But suddenly he pursed his lips and said:
"One thing is that the son is sorry for his father. My two younger brothers were actually sold by me at the beginning. Otherwise, where would the five sheep in the family come from!"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and Li You was stunned on the spot.A feeling of powerlessness spread throughout his limbs.

"As for the concubine, I sold her to be someone else's wife. I kept the money and kept it in a box. I didn't want to use it. I just wanted to help my father make a comeback."

As Li Lu spoke, he burst into tears and knelt down in front of Li You, then beat his chest and grabbed the ground with his head.

"You traitor! This is a major crime against the law! You will be punished by physical punishment! It goes against human ethics and morality!"

"How come I don't know! In the past, when I imposed such laws arbitrarily, I scraped the flesh of so many people, and all I could see was that the flesh and blood were blurred. How could I know that without my Li Lu, I would end up in the same situation as I do today!"

After Li You heard this, blood surged up from the back of his head and he fainted.
