The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"So Huairen, you are trying every way to make the emperor happy." Yan Lide asked with emotion.

"Yes." Li Fu smiled and replied: "When you are old, you should enjoy yourself."

Li Fu does not think that Li Yuan has lived a happy and comfortable life.

Especially in the ninth year of Wude, the Xuanwu Gate Incident occurred, and the old man sent the young man to his death.

This is an unsolvable dead end, at least Li Yuan, as a father, cannot solve this problem.

Two sons died, so many grandchildren also died, how can the old man be happy in his heart.

Time heals scars, that is, during this period of time, the old man lives happily and fulfillingly, and has no time to think about the sad things in the past.

What Li Fu wants to do is to create such a place for Li Yuan so that Li Yuan can no longer think about the sad things in the past.

Just have fun.

Old children, old children, just coax them a little, they are easy to coax.

"You've gone to so much trouble just to make the emperor smile." Yan Lide laughed and teased Li Fu: "If you're not the emperor's nephew, you'd be a flatterer if you made so much trouble."

"To be a flatterer, you need to have real skills." Li Fu laughed and said, "You think it's easy to be a flatterer? You have to coax people in the process. This is not a blessing, and the subsequent results are even more painful."

How many flatterers have a good end?

Is it so easy to flatter the emperor? Everyone knows that being with the emperor is like being with a tiger. Flattering the emperor is even more difficult. If you're not careful, you'll lose your head.

Look at Heshen and Zhongtang.

When the emperor is happy, he has to laugh along, no matter how bitter he is.

When the emperor needs to cry, he really has to wipe his tears, no matter how happy he is.

"My respect for the emperor is just that of a younger generation to my elders." Li Fu said: "Going to such lengths to do all these things only costs two things, effort and money."

"Do I lack money? I won't lack it in the future, so what's the point of saving so much money? Then I have to spend it. I can only be happy if I can make everyone happy with the money I spend." Li Fu said: "How can I be happy otherwise?"

When Yan Lide heard this, he quickly got up and went to the door to close the doors and windows.

"Your Highness, what is there to be afraid of? Both the Retired Emperor and His Majesty trust you very much. Otherwise, His Majesty would not have allowed the princes and princesses to come to your manor. Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Prince of Wei, and Your Highness Princess Changle are all the legitimate children of the current Empress. All of them are handed over to you. This is a huge trust."

"Yes, that's what I said, but Old Yan, the Retired Emperor and His Majesty are good to me, I must be content, I must know what's good for me, otherwise what will I become? An ungrateful person who can't be tamed?" Li Fu asked back.

"So, what's the point of bothering and spending money now? I just want to make people who are good to me live better and happy." Li Fu said seriously: "They are already living well? Then I will find a way to make them live better!"

"I am Li Fu, Li Huairen. If others are good to me, I will be a hundred times or a thousand times better to them."

"But if others are not good to me, I will also bear grudges. I didn't provoke you or provoke you, why do you plot against me? Even the rabbit will bite when it is angry!"

Yan Lide deeply agrees.

Just look at the fate of the Pei family now.

Although Yan Lide has been staying in the manor, such a big thing happened in Chang'an City, and the officialdom was shaken. How could he not know anything about it?

His family would also write to him to inform him of what happened in Chang'an City.

"I know my own strengths and weaknesses, and I can spend some time to do these things. I don't have such a good vision for big things, and I am not as good as those prime ministers in the court, who can calculate everything, so I don't get involved.

But thinking about these things..."

Li Fu pointed to the construction drawings on the wall.

"Workshops, trade areas, academies, and my own house, these are my strengths. This is to use one's imagination. Who can't? I used it, I imagined it, and I have the ability to do everything I want. What's wrong?"

"Including building an arena and the Chang'an Cup." Li Fu said.

The Li family has many capable people, and there is no need for another Li Fu.

Even if there are views and opinions on some things, it is enough to chat with Li Shimin privately, and there is no need to go to that elegant place.

As for whether what is said is right or not, good or not, it is just a private chat anyway, and Li Shimin knows it.

If it's good, he will definitely adopt it. If it's not good, just treat it as a joke and let it go.

What a good deal.

Having lived a poor life in this era, I know too well that ordinary people want to survive, want to turn over, wantHow difficult it is to live a good life.

You can't change everything by just talking to each other in the court or standing on the top of the mountain.

Li Fu had a hard life for more than two years.

Even those two years were not hard life for ordinary people.

At least he had a manor and was a landlord.

Li Fu, who was like this, could turn things around because Li Yuan recognized him as the old Li family.

Ordinary people, let alone.

"Old Yan, I will still rely on you for many things in the future, and I need your help." Li Fu said earnestly.

Yan Lide smiled and nodded.

"As for these things at present, they are all my expertise. If you want to help, I will definitely do my best." Yan Lide said.

Although he said he was helping, Li Fu never treated people who helped him badly.

If he left the manor, where would he find treatment?

"Drawing, helping to deal with things on the construction site, building houses, these messy odd jobs, I am a junior supervisor of the craftsmanship supervisor, I know a lot." Yan Lide had a smile on his face.

"I like your confidence. It's so easy to work with you." Li Fu put his arm around Yan Lide's shoulders and said with a smile.

"Yes, you are relaxed. You are using me like a donkey here. When I get old and don't work as an official anymore, I must live in your farm and make a living here."

"Then welcome."

What does this mean?

Li Fu had a warm smile on his face.

This means that Yan Lide, the labor force, will be used until he is old!

What retirement?

What kind of retirement do senior talents have?

Retirement and re-employment!

Just kidding, the Yan brothers, such good engineering talents, without them, where can we find jobs with both technical aesthetics and management online... talents?

After Li Fu returned to the manor, everyone felt more at ease than before.

In the hot summer, the kitchen of the manor was always busy. Old Zhao asked someone to buy a large cart of mung beans, which could only be used for two or three days.
