big dry son-in-law

Chapter 1086 Tomb Keeper

At noon, Li Yue stayed at Li Xin's house and had dinner before leaving.

He also understood in his heart that Li Xin would not be an obstacle to him, but on the contrary, would be his help.

This is enough.

His last words made his position clear.

Li Xin, a reformed county boy, will be sent out to serve as a border official next spring. Will he be needed for work?
The implication is that at that time, Li Yue had already ascended the throne.

Such words can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.

Therefore, my steps became much lighter when I came out.

As for his father's imperial conquest, Li Xin said he didn't know much about it, and he didn't ask any more questions.

Li Xin has become powerful, and most of the old officials of the East Palace are working with him.

Li Yue saw it clearly.

Although Li Xin is no longer the prince, he is still his father's son.

Although he is the eldest brother, he is still young. No matter who he is in the future, Li Xin will not be able to get around him.

Whether to use him or abandon him in the future is something that needs to be considered.

"King Yue, where should we go next?" Liu Rujian asked.

"It will be New Year's Eve next year. Go back and have a good rest. Tomorrow we will go to the imperial mausoleum to worship our ancestors!" Li Yue did not dare to visit too many people. There were not many up-and-coming civil servants of the younger generation.

However, most of the younger generation of generals are people around him.

He was one of the seven dandies in the capital back then, and now, they are all his fans.

As for the veteran, let alone Dou Xuanling, he owed him a favor.

Prince Cheng, Prince Heng, Yu Boshi, Du Jingming, and Xu Shichang were all pioneers of the new law.

All 72 yamen in Beijing have shares in the racecourse, and he also has shares.

Li Yue clenched his fists, the situation was settled.

Even Li Xin back then was not as powerful as he is now.

But he can't be too high-profile. The more so, the more he has to be low-key and cautious.

If you don't touch the power in your hands if you can, you can safely put yourself in a position where you will not be underestimated or looked down upon by others.

It won't make the father feel old, and it won't make the ministers feel too flamboyant.

This is enough.

The next day, the 12th year of Longjing, the New Year's Eve.

Li Yue took a dozen or two people to the imperial mausoleum to worship their ancestors.

He wore complicated services and performed various sacrifices.

Li Xian just felt bored. He was an agricultural student and didn't believe in this. If he had the time to pray to the world, he might as well fertilize the food and drive away insects.

Li Xuan's brain was also offline and his eyes were dull. He had been annoyed by such confessions since he was a child, so he ran away while no one was paying attention to the two of them.

"Hey, two ancestors, where are you going?"

"Come back and worship your ancestors!"

Several eunuchs were chasing after them, but these two boys were running as fast as monkeys running around.

"It's so boring, it's a waste of my time to draw pictures!" After the two escaped, they couldn't help but gasp when they saw that no one was chasing them.

Li Xian was a little nervous, "Sixteenth Brother, this is an ancestor worship, isn't it too ostentatious?"

"My ancestors won't blame me if Bage is here." Li Xuan saw that he was a little scared and said quickly: "Why are you so cowardly? I even said I would give you a hand-cranked airplane model, the kind that can fly!" Really?"

Li Xian loved airplane models. Although Li Xuan always asked him to take the blame every time he gave him a model airplane, he was used to it.

"Let's go!" The two brothers left arm in arm, "Anyway, it's not our turn to be the emperor, so we can just do what we like.

"What if I have a chance?" Li Xian scratched his head.

"You have a chance to be stupid. What's the relationship between Bage and my brother-in-law? What's the relationship between me and my brother-in-law? Forget about Bage, you can't even handle me. You have a chance to be stupid. Do you have any?" Li Xuan Strike.

Li Xian sighed, "Forget it, don't think about it so much, I'd better go back and study new fertilizers!"

"That's right." Li Xuan patted him on the shoulder, "What's the good thing about being an emperor? From now on, staying in the palace every day and facing those women will be very annoying."

If at this time, Li Yue had been busy for a whole hour before he was done, the eunuch came over to report that the two had escaped. Li Yue waved his hand, "Forget it, they are still young. If my father asks about them when I go back, just say they are I held on until the end, do you understand?"

"Yes, His Highness the King of Yue!"

Li Yue took off his cumbersome clothes and put on a down jacket, which made him feel much more comfortable.

He sent the eunuch away and then took the basket from Liu Rujian's hand, which contained some food.

Then he came to the house of the eunuch guarding the mausoleum.

There is a courtyard here, and the house is extremely small and dilapidated.

Sitting on a wheelchair in the courtyard was a mute eunuch with deformed hands and feet.

On a very cold day, he was wearing very thin clothes, and he was shivering from the cold.

When the eunuch in the courtyard saw Li Yue, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said, "Slave, please see His Highness the King of Yue!"

Li Yue waved his hand, "Everyone get out!"

The eunuchs didn't dare to say anything and left the courtyard as if they were running away.

Li Yue put the basket on the stone table aside, took the cloak from Liu Rujian's hand, gave the cloak to the ugly eunuch with a bad face, and covered it tightly, "Are you feeling better?"

The rotten-faced eunuch seemed a little numb, and for a moment he didn't even know anyone was approaching him.

After Li Yue spoke, his dull eyes started to move.

The familiar voice shocked him.

Especially when his eyes glanced at Li Yue, he became excited.

He opened his mouth and tried hard to make a sound, but his tongue was completely broken, and his throat was completely damaged with a wooden stick a few years ago.

He made a sound of "drinking" in his throat, but no one knew what he was talking about.

Even, because of the excitement, there was a warmth under his body, which was a common thing.

Those eunuchs would beat him every once in a while to vent their anger, and he would do this every time after the beating.

He couldn't move, couldn't speak, and even biting his tongue to commit suicide became a luxury.

He thought about going on a hunger strike, but every time he went on a hunger strike, they would use a funnel to stuff his throat and pour the porridge into his stomach.

They didn't let him live well, and they didn't let him die.

The most ridiculous thing is that in this situation, he did not lose weight, but became as fat as before.

The wheelchair under him often made creaking sounds because it couldn't bear his weight.

Looking at Li Yue, he was so excited that he couldn't help himself. This was the first familiar person he had seen in two or three years!
"It's the New Year today, come here to see you." Li Yue sighed, "Watching your own grave, doesn't it feel good?
If you didn't do those things that forget your ancestors, you wouldn't end up like this.

In the end, my father had no choice but to take action.

You should understand how doting our father is on his children! "
