Chapter Forty-Seven: Father and Son's Night Talk, Shocking Prophecy!

Li Zexuan entered the study, and after closing the door with his hand, he found that his father was already sitting on the stool, holding a teacup, waiting for him.

Li Zexuan sat on the other side unceremoniously, and also poured himself a cup of tea, drinking a cup of tea after the meal is conducive to digestion.

Seeing his son's heartless appearance, Father Li couldn't help but feel a little angry, and said, "Xuan'er, how did you and the prince meet?" ”

Hey, it seems that Daddy is still worried about the prince's affairs, this mentality is unstable.

Li Zexuan put down the teacup, and told his father about the prince he met on the way to the West Market before, and the drunken fairy building invited the prince and Cheng Chumo to eat together, Father Li stroked his beard, digested it for a while, and then said:

"Xuan'er, you must follow the rules in front of the prince, pay attention to the etiquette of the monarch and the minister, and never act as careless as at home, as the saying goes, accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, if you anger the prince, your father and I can't save you."

Thinking of Li Chengqian's little brat, if he let himself nod his head and bow to him, Li Zexuan would not be able to do anything, but Daddy Li's words were also for his own good, Li Zexuan was too lazy to explain, so he could only respond vaguely:

"Dad, don't worry, the prince and I are friends with each other, and he won't use his identity to suppress me."

Father Li's eyes glared: "That can't exceed the etiquette of the monarch and the minister, what if the prince settles accounts after the autumn one day?" ”

"Yes, yes, Daddy is right, the child listens to Daddy." In order to avoid being preached by his father all the time, Li Zexuan hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Seeing his son's virtue, knowing that he didn't listen to it, Father Li snorted angrily, and didn't bother to persuade anymore, so he retreated and said:

"Why did your Wonder Pavilion only give the prince 30% of the shares, why don't you know the humility of the top and bottom at all, you will give the prince 30% of the shares tomorrow, our family is not short of money, there is really no need to offend the prince because of this matter."

Daddy, this is going to move his own cheese, Li Zexuan immediately jumped to his feet and said urgently:

"No, the prince himself has agreed to this sharing condition, dad, what are you here to make a fuss about, aren't you the emperor not in a hurry?"

"You little bastard, dare to talk to your father like this, it seems that your skin is itching again."

Daddy Li was immediately glared at by the angry blowing beard, and he was about to get up and beat someone in a fit of rage.

Li Zexuan immediately got up to dodge, and shouted as he dodged: "Mother, help, my father is going to kill his relatives in righteousness." ”

Father Li was even more angry, jumping to his feet angrily, and at this moment, a cough came from outside the study.

"Ahem!"

Li Zexuan heard it, this was her mother's voice.

Sure enough, I saw her old lady push the door directly and enter. After Mrs. Li came in, she glanced at Daddy Li coldly, then sat directly next to her and said to Daddy Li:

"I wonder if you want to sleep in the study again? Is there anything you can't say to Xuan'er? Xuan'er is so old, you still beat and scold him, what kind of system. ”

Daddy Li lost his temper in an instant, sat back like an angry little daughter-in-law, and drank tea in a muffled voice.

Li Zexuan saw that the atmosphere was a little stiff at the moment, so he laughed dryly twice, and stepped forward to reason with his father:

"Dad, that Qiqu Pavilion is the child's first career, and its scale will definitely be the Tang Dynasty in the future, and the child has given the prince a lot of dry shares, why don't you understand it yet."

Father Li obviously felt that his son was bragging, and he sneered twice, indicating that he didn't believe it.

Li Zexuan said helplessly:

"Dad, if you don't believe me, then let's wait and see. In addition, the child has something he wants to tell his father today! ”

Father Li swallowed the tea and said angrily: "What can you do?" ”

It seems that the father is not very angry in his heart, Li Zexuan said embarrassedly:

"Dad, in addition to the skills I told you before, his old man is also proficient in divination, do you know?"

Father Li glared and said, "How would I know? Besides, what are you doing with your father? ”

Li Zexuan patiently flickered:

"Dad, when the child was seven years old, I overheard my master say that on the fourth day of the sixth month of the ninth year of Wude (of course Li Zexuan didn't know the specific month and day, this was what he overheard Xiaohe say after he went home), the Xuanwu Gate would be full of corpses and a sea of blood.

At that time, I didn't know what it meant, but when my master died, I came down the mountain to find out what happened on that day in the ninth year of Wude. ”

Li's father and mother were shocked when they heard this, they have been living in Chang'an, and naturally they know what earth-shattering events happened on the fourth day of June last year, and the place where the incident happened was Xuanwumen. This matter has now become a taboo for the people of the Tang Dynasty, and no one dares to mention it in public.

Mrs. Li got up and said hurriedly: "Xuan'er, is this true?" ”

Li Zexuan nodded solemnly and said, "The child doesn't dare to deceive his father." ”

Although Father Li was shocked, he was still a little puzzled, and asked, "What about your master's ability to predict the future, and what is your intention in telling your father and mother about this?" ”

Li Zexuan got up, put his hands behind his back and said slowly: "After the child went down the mountain, he was even more worried after knowing that the master's prophecy came true, because the master still left a prophecy before his death. ”

Father Li was also a little nervous at the moment, and hurriedly asked, "What prophecy?" ”

Li Zexuan brewed his emotions a little, and said in a deep voice:

"My master said that in June of the second year of Zhenguan, there will be a large-scale and unprecedented locust plague in Datang, when the locusts will be overwhelming, pouring down and sweeping the entire Guanzhong Plain. The land where the locusts pass through is thousands of miles away, and not a single grass grows, and all the crops will be destroyed by the locusts.

The Tang Dynasty will suffer a catastrophe that will destroy the world, and it will not be surprising that thousands of people will starve to death due to lack of food. ”

The two elders were stunned by this shocking prophecy, and they were speechless for a long time.

Mrs. Li has always been kind-hearted, and she can't see others suffering, and the miserable scene depicted by Li Zexuan at this time touched her weak heart, and her eyes suddenly turned a little red.

Mrs. Li wiped the corners of her eyes lightly and asked bitterly, "Xuan'er, did your master say that there is a way to resolve this locust plague?" She still had a glimmer of hope in her heart.

Li Zexuan shook his head slowly and said, "My master said at the time that in the ninth year of Wude, even if the Turks attacked near Chang'an, it would not be terrible, and the Tang Dynasty had its own Mingjun to resolve this disaster.

But this locust plague in the second year of Zhenguan is the biggest test for the Tang Dynasty that has just been peaceful, and no one can resolve it, so we can only rely on ourselves and fight for our lives with the sky! ”

Father Li's face was also a little sad at this moment, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Alas, how can I fight with the sky when I wait for a mortal!" ”

Mrs. Li also nodded with a sad face.

The ancients have always maintained a heart of reverence for God, in their view, the locust plague is God's punishment on the world, how can mortals resist, people, after all, can not fight God.

Li Zexuan couldn't help but shake his head when he saw his father and mother looking resigned to his fate and had no fighting spirit, it seems that his task tonight is a bit heavy, he must cheer up his father and mother, he can't complete this plan alone.
