Chapter 299: The Elder Steward

Li Zhen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then turned to look at Li Chen, his expression slightly sluggish.

"What? You don't want to? Li Chen and Wang Gui looked at each other and smiled.

"Ayah, that's what you ...... True? ”

Li Zhen's face didn't look so good.

"You don't joke, it's naturally true!" Li Chen looked at Li Zhen, and then asked, "What?" You don't want to? ”

Li Zhen nodded and said, "Erchen has the courage to beg Aya to take back his fate!" ”

Li Chen's face changed slightly, and he asked coldly, "Why?" Are you my son...... Not good? ”

Li Zhen shook his head hurriedly when he heard this, and said, "Erchen just thinks that the time has not come!" ”

"The time has not come? I think the time has come! Li Chen stiffened his face and said word by word.

"Erchen is afraid of being imprisoned in Zongzheng Temple!" Li Zhen said again.

"You ......" Li Chen gritted his teeth, but he couldn't say a word.

Seeing this, Li Zhen smiled slightly: "Aye Mingjian, Erchen just thinks that after having a reputation, there are too many things that need to be taken into account, and some people and some things are naturally not so handy. ”

"False name!?" Li Chen got up, pointed at Li Zhen and said angrily: "You said that the name I gave you is a false name? ”

"Hehe, Erchen made a slip of the tongue for a while, and the slip of the tongue ......." Li Zhen grinned.

Seeing this, Li Chen naturally lost his temper, and shook his hand and said, "Let's go, quickly disappear from front of me!" ”

"Thank you Aya for making it happen!" Li Zhen bowed down and smiled, then turned around and ran out.

"How did I give birth to such a flamboyant son...... Li Chen pointed to Li Zhen's back and said to Wang Guichang with a smile.

"Hehe, the eldest prince is kind-hearted, although he is a little stubborn, but he is exactly such an ......age," Wang Guichang said with a smile.

Li Chen glared and said, "Kind-hearted? I think he's a cunning man! You can't see what's going on in his mind? He wants to take some credit from himself, so as not to be ridiculed after being crowned king! ”

After thinking about it, Wang Guichang said softly: "This old slave didn't expect it, but it's ......."

"But what?" Li Chen asked.

"But if the eldest prince really thinks so, this throne is really in a hurry!"

Li Chen couldn't help but scolded when he heard this: "You old man is very noisy, let Zhou Gui go to Ma Yuanzhen to ask for a hundred divine soldiers, follow that shaft, lest I poke out any baskets!" ”

......

Out of the palace gate, Li Zhen went straight to Anyi Fang to meet Yan Heng, and saw that Yan Heng and Liu Guan, Zheng Da, Wang Ji and Wang Shaoyi had already prepared.

Liu Sanlang and Zhao Lang were training recruits in Yingzhou, so only the three brothers followed.

Seeing Li Zhen rushing back, Yan Heng hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Has the old man the emperor agreed?" ”

Li Zhen nodded and said, "Well, but we need to rush to the Eastern Capital immediately!" ”

"We're ready!" Yan Heng smiled, hearing that Li Chen exempted Li Deyu, his heart couldn't help but feel a lot more cheerful.

"General, when are you leaving?" Liu Guan asked.

"Let's go!"

"Don't say goodbye to Uncle Li and Zhao Wan?" Yan Heng asked.

"I'll be back in two or three days, not to mention that Aya has already slept, Zhao Wan ......" Li Zhen didn't finish speaking, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Zhao Wan standing at the door with a gloomy face.

Li Zhen grinned and said, "I'll be back in two or three days!" When I get back, I'll pick a few peonies for you! ”

Zhao Wan sneered when she heard this, and said, "Fool, the peony only blooms when it rains in the May Valley, where are you going to pick it now!" If you want to go, you can go, I can't stop you, don't say this nonsense to coax me! ”

Li Zhen didn't speak when he heard this, only grinned.

Seeing this, Yan Heng couldn't help but sigh: "On weekdays, he is as shrewd as a ghost, but when he sees Zhao Wan, he is as stupid as a pig!" ”

As he spoke, he heard the sound of horses' hooves galloping in the distance.

Everyone looked back and saw Zhou Gui leading more than 100 cavalry to chase over.

"Chief Zhou?" Yan Heng said in surprise.

When Zhou Gui approached, Li Zhen asked, "Your Majesty asked you to come?" ”

Zhou Gui nodded and said, "Your Majesty said that I was afraid that you would poke some basket again, let me follow!" ”

Li Zhen pursed his lips when he heard this, and said, "Your Majesty really can't speak!" ”

After saying goodbye to Zhao Wan, everyone immediately left Chang'an and went straight to Luoyang.

......

There was nothing to say all the way, and the east went out of Tongguan, and everyone kept moving on the official road, and arrived in Luoyang in the evening of the next day.

Before the city gate was opened, Zhou Gui immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "Zhou Gui of the Inner Servant Province has been instructed by His Majesty to see Li Deyu staying in the eastern capital, please open the city gate!" ”

Shao leaned, walked out of a team of soldiers from the inside, and after inspecting the mermaid charms and jade plates, he opened the city gate and led everyone in.

"Is Gong Wen Rao still in the city?" On the way, Li Zhen asked a soldier.

"It should be today's departure, Liu Fumu is urging tightly, I just confiscated Li Mansion a few days ago!" The soldier replied.

"Didn't copy the Li Mansion?" Li Zhen was shocked, and then asked Zhou Gui, "Has Your Majesty ever had this will?" ”

Zhou Gui thought for a while and said, "It shouldn't be no, Your Majesty only said that he ordered the Henan Mansion to supervise the pastor, and did not say anything about raiding the house!" ”

"What is the origin of this Liu Fumu?" Li Zhen asked again.

Zhou Gui shook his head and said, "You also know that Your Majesty taboos these, I'm afraid this won't help you!" ”

Li Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, I think I will meet this Liu Fumu tomorrow!" ”

"Well, but now are we going to the post station or ......"

Without waiting for Zhou Gui to finish speaking, Li Zhen said directly: "Go to Li Mansion!" ”

Staying in the eastern capital is an idle position, and Li Deyu rarely goes to the yamen, and even if he goes, he just sits and drinks tea with nothing to do, so he only stays in the mansion most of the time.

I don't see any customers, just find a quiet place to drink tea.

Although he is close to his son, Li Deyu still can't sleep, not because he is reluctant to give up these things outside his body.

It's just purely because it's too cold.

Three days ago, Liu Ying, the pastor of Henan Prefecture, confiscated the Li Mansion, and all the valuable objects in the mansion were taken by him, even including the two carts of charcoal in the mansion.

Although Luoyang's winter is not as good as Youzhou, it is still a little difficult to heat without charcoal, and Li Deyu is close to the age of sixties, and he is weak and sickly.

In desperation, the manager, who was older than Li Deyu, had to chop some wooden objects in the house as firewood, so that Li Deyu could barely drink a bowl of hot soup.

As the hour passed, the temperature dropped to the lowest, but the firewood in front of him became smaller and smaller, and the old manager looked at the almost clean house around him, and two lines of muddy old tears flowed out of his eyes.

"Lang Jun, I'll go and borrow some charcoal from the neighbors!"

This is the fifth time that the boss has made this request today, but he was stopped by Li Deyu.

"Forget it, it's going to be this night, it's time to leave at dawn, I borrowed someone else's, and I can't pay it back!" Li Deyu wrapped the quilt on his body tighter.

"That's always ......"

I saw Li Deyu waving his hand weakly, and the words that the old manager was about to say swallowed back raw.

Bang bang bang –

At this moment, the sound of slamming the door sounded, which was particularly harsh in this cold night.
