Tibet

At dusk, Li Dai returned home gloomily. Pei Sanniang took off his coat. Li Dai casually asked, "Where's Ye'er?"

"It seems like he went out for something and hasn't come back yet."

Seeing that her husband was worried, Pei Sanniang asked with concern: "Is today not going well?"

Li Dai sighed and said, "I'm fine. It's Ye'er. The whole government and the public are saying that he is cruel and murderous. I'm really worried!"

Pei Sanniang said disapprovingly: "What cruelty and murderousness? I think it's time to eliminate evil. If Ye'er hadn't saved you, would you have escaped alive?"

"Of course I don't think there is anything wrong with my son, but someone is targeting him. This afternoon Shi Zheng Ang has officially impeached him."

Pei Sanniang was startled and asked nervously: "What will happen to Ye'er?"

"If the impeachment is successful, at least it will be dismissed from office, and at the most important, the noble will be removed for the sake of the people!"

"Would that lead to a conviction?"

Li Dai shook his head, "It's hard to say. If the Yang family wanted to be cruel to Ye'er, they might convict Ye'er."

"Is it the Yang family who is messing with Ye'er?"

Li Ye smiled bitterly and said: "Zheng Ang, the imperial censor who impeached him, is Yang Guozhong's confidant. Of course, Yang Guozhong ordered it. Now it's a bit troublesome!"

Pei Sanniang suddenly became anxious, "Why don't the officials ask father and listen to his opinion?"

This sentence reminded Li Dai, and he nodded, "I will go talk to my father now."

At Mrs. Guo Guo's house, several members of the Yang family gathered together.

Yang Yupei took a sip of tea and glared at Yang Guozhong with dissatisfaction: "Lao San, I told you before that I need this Li Ye to find gems for me, but you want to impeach him, then who will take care of Kang Guo for me?" Get gems?"

Yang Guozhong said quickly: "Third sister, don't be angry. I asked people to impeach him. This person is really terrible. Now I know why Li Linfu regarded him as his successor. Hundreds of thousands of people were ready to rebel. He solved it in one night. If If he takes over the power in the future, all of our Yang family will definitely die in his hands. This person is too cruel and cruel."

Next to him, Yang Zheng also said: "Third sister, the third brother is right. I also read the scene records. This man's killing was simply too terrible. Seventy-four feet were found on the top of the warehouse, and how many people had their ankles cut off with one knife. Also, it’s so disgusting, if he points the knife at our Yang family, I would rather commit suicide by taking poison!"

The Korean lady Yang Yujue frowned and said, "Third sister, was she deceived by him? What top-quality gems can he get? Do you believe his lies?"

Yang Yupei said coldly: "Didn't you see the gem on Fifth Sister's neck? It was dedicated to her by Li Ye, and it became her most beloved thing. Even the Holy One praised it as the Heshi Bi among gems, and I specially I sent someone to ask the merchants of Kang State, and Li Ye was absolutely right. It was a sacred object of Zoroastrianism. The gem was enshrined in the Daguangming Temple in Samajian, the capital of the King of Kang. A grand ceremony for the return of the sacred object was held. One hundred thousand people participated, and Li Ye promised me that he would get the emerald back for me. Does the Yang family impeach him now, does it appear that I have broken my promise?"

Yang Yupei glanced at Yang Guozhong again and said: "Also, the assassin who killed your son was also caught by him. If you do this, aren't you afraid that the emperor will say that you repay kindness with revenge?"

Yang Guozhong's face was very uncomfortable. He would not take this so-called kindness to heart. However, the emperor's impression of him had deteriorated, and he was very worried. Yang Guozhong said after a while: "The impeachment report has been sent to the emperor, and I have not There’s a way.”

Yang Yupei said coldly: "Fifth sister got his gem and owes him a favor. She will probably intercede on his behalf. Please stop being troublesome in the future."

In the study, Li Dai bowed to greet his father. Li Linfu said calmly: "Actually, I know you are coming. Sit down!"

Li Dai sat down uneasily. Li Linfu took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Are you here because of Ye'er's matter?"

Li Dai was stunned for a moment. His father never left home, so how could he know about Ye'er?

As soon as he thought about it, Li Dai understood that it must be his eldest brother Li Xiu. The eldest brother was the most active in this kind of thing, so it was strange that he didn't say anything.

"Father, this is my responsibility. Ye'er has not had the control of his father since he was a child, so it is difficult for him to grasp the priorities, so that"

"To what?"

Li Linfu said coldly: "You are here to accuse me of being dim-sighted, ignorant of people, and valuing a cruel, bloody, murderous bastard grandson. Is that what you mean?"

"Ah!" Li Dai was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained: "My child definitely didn't mean this."

"Then what do you mean?"

Li Linfu angrily rebuked: "Your elder brother is a bastard who wants to add insult to injury. You are also a fool. You don't have any opinions. You just believe what others say? You don't understand your son at all. He is a complete idiot. Bah!"

Li Dai's face turned red after being scolded by his father, and he lowered his head.

Li Linfu looked at his son for a long time, and then said in a slightly gentler tone, "Actually, it's normal for you not to understand my son. Even though he is only sixteen years old, your political acumen is far worse than his. He is a prime minister-level mind, and you are still the same !”

Li Linfu gestured with his little finger.

"The child really didn't understand. I beg my father to explain."

"He didn't give you an explanation?"

"He goes out early and comes back late these days, and the child hasn't had a chance to talk to him yet."

Li Linfu nodded, "He is my successor. Although I feel sorry for him and feel guilty, I can understand my grandson. He is not a reckless person. He is far-sighted. This bloody massacre can keep our whole family safe." , and no one dares to cause trouble for you. Anyone who wants to touch you must weigh your son's knife. I believe no one wants their whole family to be slaughtered like dogs! Do you understand? "

"Ah! He is killing people to establish his authority."

"That's right! What do officials fear most? Death. Your son sees it better than you. Do you feel that the people below are respectful to you today?"

Li Dai nodded, "Today is much more respectful than usual. Many of my subordinates stopped to greet me."

"This is the effect of establishing authority. If you can't make people respect you, you must at least make people fear you."

After a pause, Li Linfu said again: "It's fine for you to be the governor of Runzhou, but the emperor has transferred you back to be the Shaoyin of Jingzhao. It's obvious that he wants you to be a hostage. He doesn't trust Ye'er in his heart. The river is too far away. The supervisors were useless, Ye'er went on a killing spree and established a brutal and fierce image. Do you think the emperor is relieved or worried? In my opinion, the emperor is completely relieved."

Li Dai felt ashamed and said, "My child really didn't think that far ahead!"

Li Linfu smiled and said: "Before Wang Jian led an army of 600,000 to the Chu Kingdom, he desperately asked the First Emperor for houses, houses and jewels, showing an image of insatiable greed. After Xiao He became prime minister, he openly occupied houses, occupied land, and ruined his reputation. Ye'er Although he cannot compare with them, it is still the same. A murderous person cannot achieve great things. He just wants to make the emperor think that he is a murderous person!"

"But he's not!"

Li Dai shook his head and defended his son: "He was afraid of scaring the people, worried that hundreds of thousands of people would trample on each other, so he made up lies to deceive the people, which shows that he actually has compassion."

"That's right. Now that you know he is acting deliberately, what are you worried about?"

Li Dai sighed, "Ye'er has been impeached by Yushitai!"

"so what?"

Li Linfu said coldly: "The military has not expressed its position! If he is guilty of putting down the rebellion for the emperor, who will protect his country in the future?"
