Chapter 208: Rebel Boy
After the dispersal of the dynasty, the emperor, the queen mother, and the chief manager Fan Jian all went to the imperial study.
"How can this be true? It just doesn't make sense!" The young emperor roared in anger like a volcanic eruption, smashing the valuable antique vases in his study to the ground.
"This Li He is really too inattentive! It's too much! It's too much!!" There was not even an inkstone on the imperial table, and the emperor angrily pulled the table with his fists, and shouted hoarsely. When he was angry, he couldn't change his voice, his current voice sounded like a man but not a man, like a woman and not a woman, sharp and piercing, compared to the eunuch Fan Jianlai, it was not much better.
Empress Dowager Wu stood quietly on the side, looking coldly at her son flying there, and the chief manager Fan Jian stood beside her, looking low eyebrows and drooping eyes.
It wasn't until the emperor stopped venting out of breath that the queen mother said slowly; "Chief Fan, can you be sure that the Tianya Sect Leader in the Mighty Hall is your sister's son?"
Fan Jian nodded: "The old slave can be sure that the person in the palace who was regarded by Li He as 'Amoherdi', and was bruised all over his body, is indeed the old slave's nephew Na Lanbo."
The Queen Mother frowned slightly: "How could he fall into the hands of the Li family?" How could he be mistaken for Amoherdi?"
When the emperor heard this, he scolded again: "This Li He is too lawless!" Dare to openly bully the king! They are determined to destroy him, peel him, and pull his tendons! Queen Mother, he did this time, it was simply no one's eyes, we must just forget it!"
The Queen Mother glanced at him unhappily and said; "And what do you want? Everyone has already been killed as the leader of the Tianya Sect, what do you use to blame him? Do you really want to destroy him and whest him now?"
"Lian......" The emperor looked at Fan Jian again and shouted; Fan recommends! Since you recognize it as your nephew, why don't you say it? The ministers of civil and military affairs are all here, as long as you can identify them, we can convict Li He on the spot! But you ...... You didn't even say it until after you retreated, and you didn't mourn when you saw your nephew being wrongfully tortured by Ling Chi! What the hell are you up to!?"
Fan Jian lowered his eyes slightly and replied in a low voice; "Your Majesty. Li He didn't know the relationship between Nalan Bo and the old slave, since he dared to bring it in front of hundreds of officials, he was not afraid of the old slave coming to recognize him. Even judging from the fact that Nalambo was full of flesh but only had no injuries on his face, he still intended to let the old slave recognize him. According to the situation at the time. Even if the old slave pointed out Nalambo's true identity in the palace, he would not be able to save his life, and it was not known that he would even be beaten by Li He. His tone was cold and calm. But the queen mother on the side still heard a trace of strangeness, which showed that the death of her nephew was not as indifferent to the infertile eunuch chief as he appeared on the surface.
"You ......" The emperor was stunned for a while after listening to Fan Jian's words, and then pointed at him and opened his mouth to scold, but he didn't know what to scold.
The Queen Mother; "Your Majesty, Chief Fan is taking into account the overall situation. The Li family boys successfully quelled the rebellion in the southwest this time, and now the prestige of the Li family is in full swing, and it is really not appropriate for us to openly confront them at present. And today, Li He behaved so toughly in the Mighty Palace, and replaced the leader of the Tianya Sect with the nephew of Chief Fan. It is clearly a deliberate provocation. If Li He's own Zhang performance is good, if Li Xiao's instructions, then things will be troublesome. β
Fan Jiandao; "Judging from the old slave, Li He's performance today should not be what Li Xiao meant."
"Hmm. Bengong also felt that according to Li Xiao's character, he would not be so arrogant, if it was really what he meant, it would mean that he had rebelled. At this time, if the Li family rebels, we are really powerless. "The Queen Mother is quite melancholy.
The emperor was stunned when he heard this; "The Li family...... Want...... Want to rebel? That...... So what do we do? Join...... The United immediately ordered the forbidden army to protect the city. Catch all the traitors of the Li family!"
The Queen Mother glared at him dissatisfiedly and reprimanded; "Look at your frizzy appearance, where is the majesty of the king of a country? How did I teach you before? Tarzan collapsed in front of him without changing his face, is it like you?"
The Emperor muttered; "Yes...... But the Li family wants to rebel......"
"If the Li family really wants to rebel now. Do you think you can still mobilize the Forbidden Army? How many people do you think are truly loyal to you and me in this Royal Feather Forest Army and the Forbidden Army?"
"I ...... I ......"
The Queen Mother shook her head and sighed secretly, compared to Li Xiao's two sons, her unsuccessful son is really too far behind. Even the tantrum is so impersonal. I couldn't help but think of Li He's arrogance in the mighty palace, and he didn't even pay attention to the emperor and her, and his heart palpitated slightly-could it be that this kid wanted to rebel, right?
At this time, Fan Jian suddenly said: "The Amoherdi brought back by Li He is fake, so where did the real Amoherdi go?"
The Queen Mother thought for a while and said, "Maybe he didn't catch it."
Fan Jian shook his head: "This is unlikely, according to the soldiers of the counterinsurgency army, Amohedi was captured by Li Hesheng in Gongcheng." Empress Dowager, think about it, with the large number of Tianya sect members and the long time they have been rooted in the southwest, how could Li He completely disappear in less than a month after he was stationed in the southwest?"
The Queen Mother looked at Fan Jian and said in a dark voice: "You mean...... Li He colluded with the Tianya cult?"
When the emperor next to him heard this, he was even more dumbfounded: "What a bold Li thief......"
Fan Jiandao; "According to Li He's character, this matter is very likely. But we don't have any evidence, and even if we do, we can't help him at the moment. It's just that in this way, with the help of the Tianya Sect, the southwest has completely fallen into the hands of the Li family. β
The Queen Mother frowned and said: "If Li He becomes the head of the Li family one day, there is a chance that this kid will rebel, and our plan must be made as soon as possible."
The emperor said curiously: "Plan, what plan?" Mother, what are you planning, and why I don't know. β
The Queen Mother looked at him and said; "You don't have to know too much, you just need to remember that these are extraordinary times, and you should put the big picture first. Especially for the Li family and Li He, we must not fight for a moment of pleasure and openly break with them. In the palace today, why did you ask Li He for his mount? How can that monster fire unicorn be controlled by ordinary people?"
The emperor was not convinced; "Lian is a true son of destiny, how can he be an ordinary person? He Li He can ride, but the Federation can't ride? The fire unicorn is a divine beast of the Tianshan Mountains, and it is precisely the identity that should be given to the joint horseman. β
"You are not allowed to go to this palace."
"No, the United has to go. Today, the palace has already said it in front of the hundred officials. How can you not go? No jokes! If Lian doesn't go, then Li Hui won't think that Lian is afraid of him!"
The Queen Mother frowned, looked at Fan Xuan, and said, "Manager Fan." You go up with the emperor. Remember not to let the emperor fall, if the emperor and Li He have a conflict, you have to come forward to reconcile. β
Fan recommended the response; "The Queen Mother is relieved. The old slave will take care of the emperor. β
At this time, Li He, who had dispersed the dynasty, did not return to his Wuwei Hou Mansion, but went to his brother's mansion, teasing Li Ming's son who had just been born, and had a lot of fun.
Li Ming's wife, Liu, was pregnant for eleven months and finally gave birth to a baby boy named Li Kang. Now the Li family is also considered to be the fourth generation of the same family.
Li Du hugged Xiao Li Kang and said to himself: "Well-off, well-off, fortunately you were born in our Li family." Didn't you ...... born in the Yang family."
Li Mingqi next to him; "Why? What happened to the Yang family?"
Li Du turned his head and said, "If you want to be born in the Yang family, won't you become Yang Kang?"
"Yang Kang?" Li Ming thought about it and shook his head; "I haven't heard of it."
"Yang Kang is a big villain!" Li He muttered and looked at the little Li Kang in his arms, and said with a smile; "Our Li Kang is different, he must be a big man in the future. Look at this nose. Yanqing, this small mouth is obviously the unparalleled overlord of the opposition and the emperor of the dynasty. β
Li Ming smiled: "You will blow less, and you will return to the emperor." You can't just talk about it. β
Uh......"
"What's wrong?"
"Pee......" Li He pulled out his wet hand from under Xiao Li Kang's ass and smiled bitterly.
The nurse next to her hurriedly took over the child, and Li Ming laughed; "Boy pee, you can be evil."
"Wow. You don't have to laugh so much, I didn't give you child urine when I was a kid!"
"You've been running around like a monkey for just a few months, how dare I hug you."
While the two brothers were talking, a subordinate approached; "Second son, the old lady invites you to the house to discuss something."
Li Ming said: "Tielang, go ahead, today in the court, you make grandpa a little unhappy, look at it yourself more when you can speak." β
Li He answered and knew, so he went to the Taishi Mansion.
Outside the study of Taishifu, Li He knocked lightly on the door.
"Come in." Master Li's voice sounded.
Li He pushed the door and entered, and saw that the light in the study was a little dim, and his grandfather was sitting on the chair behind the table, unable to see his expression clearly.
"Grandpa."
"Well, Tetsuro is back. I have seen the process of counterinsurgency this time from the war report. Everything is going well. β
"Yes, Grandpa Tu's blessing, everything goes well. Successfully put down the rebels in the southwest, and pacified the Meteor and other people in the southwest. Li He said respectfully.
"You didn't ride the fire unicorn into the city, you only brought a few dozen cavalry retinues and army generals, which is a good point. At this time, it is not appropriate to be overly publicized. Master Li said slowly.
Li He whispered yes. In fact, he originally wanted to ride the fire unicorn into the city, but if this was the case, then the others would not be able to ride horses. If the soldiers are okay, many of the people who entered the city with him were high-ranking generals like Li Bu, and it would be too shameless to let them all follow behind the fire unicorn's ass on foot. But even if you ride into the city on horseback, the sensation caused is already unprecedented.
Taishi Li continued: "But today's Mighty Palace, you have behaved a little too much. Even if we don't take the emperor in private, on the surface, we are still ministers, and he is still a king. Do you understand?"
Li He didn't answer, he was silent, Mrs. Li frowned slightly, looked up at this little grandson, and saw that he was looking at the desk, as if he was thinking about something.
Tielang?"
Li He slowly raised his head and said, "Grandpa, why is that little eunuch a king, but we have to be ministers?"
Li Taishi was stunned; Why do you ask. β
Li He said: "Grandpa, whether it is the number of troops we control, our influence in the court or the local power, no one can compare with each other in the Great Xia Kingdom, and the eunuch little emperor can't compare." Why should we honor him as king, and call ourselves vassals?"
"You ......" Taishi Li was shocked: "How can you say such a thing, could it be that you want to rebel?"
Li He's eyes narrowed slightly: "Grandpa, this world is not surnamed Han from the beginning, the Han family's Great Xia Dynasty was also snatched from others." They grabbed it. Why can't we grab it? Now the time is ripe for us to take our place. Grandpa, you ascended the throne as the emperor and commanded the world, wouldn't it be happier than now?"
Master Li smiled faintly. Said: "It's too young and arrogant, Tie Lang, although now our Li family is the most powerful and unstoppable in the Great Xia Kingdom. There is no emperor's name, but he is an emperor. But if one day we do turn against the Great Xia Dynasty, do you know what will happen?"
Li He pouted and said, "Who dares to have objections? Our thousands of troops are not pretty. Those who follow are rampant, those who are against them die, and those who do not accept are all killed, and their grandchildren will not believe it, who will be so desperate. In this Great Xia Kingdom, when it comes to fighting, Sun Er recognizes second. Who would dare to admit the first?"
Taishi Li looked at him and suddenly said, "Tie Lang, you want to be the emperor so much?"
Li He hurriedly said: "Grandpa, my grandson will never be an emperor, and I never thought of being an emperor."
Mrs. Li was surprised: "Then why do you keep thinking about changing the dynasty?"
"Hey, hey. Grandpa, if you become the emperor, then every time you go to the court, you will salute your relatives, and the psychological feeling is completely different from that of the eunuch and the little emperor. β
"That's all?"
"Oh, there's more. If the grandfather became the emperor, then the father would follow. And then down is the big brother. The boss is all his own family, no matter how I say it, I can also be a little king. When the owner of the river is still the housekeeper, the feeling is very different. β
Taishi Li shook his head: "Grandpa is not a pedantic and foolish minister, but the idea of taking the Xia Emperor and replacing him." But never, do you know why?"
"Why?"
"The Great Xia Kingdom has been established for hundreds of years, and it can be said to be the longest established dynasty in history, and its roots in Great Xia are very deep. And although the Han royal family has done nothing in recent generations, they have not made any big mistakes, but have leveled the Beihu ......"
Li He interjected in a low voice: "Beihu is my ...... level"
Li Taishi said: "You are just a general, you have your merits, but you are also counted as his achievements." Do you know that if you lead an army to rebel, who will be the first to rise up against you?"
Li He raised his eyebrows: "God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha."
"Will you kill even your grandfather?"
Li He was stunned when he heard this: "Grandfather?"
"Yes, if we turn against Xia now, the first one to rise up to King Qin is your grandfather, King Yandong." Master Li said.
Li He was puzzled and said; "Grandpa and we are in-laws, how can we ......?"
"Tie Lang, you are still too young to think about some things at all. Who did you know who gave your grandfather's grandfather the title of King of Yandong?"
"Uh...... It seems to be the founding emperor. β
"Yes, Taizu, the founding emperor of the Xia Dynasty. Although the current generations of emperors are doing nothing, for the older generation of princes and nobles and great families like you, the Han royal family is kind to them, and this sense of belonging is beyond your comprehension. β
Li Taiqu frowned and said, "A sense of belonging? Grandpa, our Li family is also a big family, do you have this sense of belonging?"
Taishi Li glanced at him and said; "Our Li family is different."
"Different?"
"Don't ask these questions yet, anyway, don't start rebelling now, and do what you have to do." As if he suddenly remembered something, Taishi Li asked, "Today in the Hall of Might, what is going on with that Amoherdi?" I know you've bought off the Tianya Sect, so what's going on with this Amoherdi? Why did Fan Jian react so much when he saw him?" Li He knew that he couldn't hide it from his grandfather after he subdued the Tianya Sect in the southwest, so he sent someone to inform the capital early in the morning, but nothing about the Netherworld was revealed.
Li He replied: "That's a substitute ghost found by grandson, called Nalambo, who used to have some festivals with grandson and had enmity with several of grandson's friends, so this time I took him as a substitute ghost by the way." This Na Lanbo is the nephew of Fan Recommendation Lao Yan Ji. "Fan Xuan's nephew...... Is that the Nalan family in the martial arts?"
"Exactly."
Mrs. Li said: "You dare to catch a Nalan Bolai?"
Li He smiled, raised his hand and slashed into the void, his eyes shining brightly; "The entire Nalan family was exterminated by his grandson."
Master Li said with some surprise: "When did you make a move?" Why haven't I heard from this yet?"
"This ...... It was the grandson who sent his men to do it on the way back to Beijing, so if the grandfather wants to get the news, I'm afraid it will take a few days. "In terms of Amohdi's replacement for the dead ghost, of course Li He can arrest anyone at will, but it should also be unlucky for the Nalan family, since the North Pole Gate has become Li He's subordinate, then the revenge of the Wanli Dart Bureau back then will naturally be counted on Nalambo's body. So Li He ordered Sikong Ming, the master of the North Pole Gate, to send someone to sweep the Nalan family away. Except for Nalambo, none of the others remained.
The Nalan family, known as the head of the four great families of martial arts, disappeared overnight. Because it happened suddenly, and there was no life. So until now, the news has not spread in the rivers and lakes.
"You sent someone from the Tianya Sect to do it?"
"Sort of."
"Fan Jian is just a small role, so don't worry. Just to the Queen Mother. Sometimes I have to sell her some face. Master Li instructed. From the previous "just let go of something" to the current "don't be too public", Mrs. Li already feels that he can't control his little grandson.
Li He didn't understand why his grandfather emphasized the Queen Mother, but he didn't think much about it, and nodded in agreement, in fact, in his heart, he didn't pay attention to all the royal families.
"By the way, I almost forgot to tell you about the business I called you here." Taishi Li said suddenly.
"Huh? Serious business?"
"Well, it was originally the emperor in the main hall who wanted to issue an edict today. But then I was frightened by your 'Amoherdi', and before I could say anything, I dispersed. β
Li He was puzzled: "What's the matter?"
"The Northeast refugees have revolted."
Ah......h
Really. Li Taishi continued: "The imperial court has decided, you will lead the troops to continue to quell the chaos, and set off in three days."
Li He's mouth opened widely: "No......"
Mrs. Li stood up from his chair, walked around the desk, and walked to Li He's side. patted him on the shoulder and said, "Grandpa believes in you."
Li He swallowed his saliva with difficulty: "I just came back from the battle, can't I change someone else?" Grandpa, how can you let them push me into the fire pit again?"
Taishi Li said in a low voice: "I recommended you." β
"Huh?!" Li He looked at his grandfather dumbfounded.
Taishi Li coughed dryly twice and said, "This is an opportunity, if it can go as smoothly as the southwest, we can further control the northeast." Very advantageous. You must know that the Northeast is the most powerful territory of the Han family. And...... Now there are no other more suitable generals available in the imperial court. β
Li He made a bitter face and said, "My army is still lying in the southwest, does the imperial court have soldiers for me?" I can't be left alone to pick up the hungry refugees. β
"There are no hundred thousand. Forty or fifty thousand can also be enough for you. Master Li patted him on the shoulder again and said.
"How many people are there in the refugee army?"
"Some reported 100,000, some reported 300,000, and the court didn't know what the specific number was. It may have starved to death a lot, or it may have added a lot, it's hard to say. β
"Isn't it...... Grandpa......"
"Grandpa believes in you, you are invincible."
"Uh......"
Li He hung his head down, and originally planned to hold the wedding with a few fiancΓ©es after returning to Tanping Town in the southwest, and then take his sister Yunlin and cousin Zhen Yao back to live their own leisurely life, relaxed and happy. I didn't expect that now I can't live a free life, and I have to go to war again, and I am about to become a war machine.
Li Taishi said again; "There's more news for you."
"What's the news?"
"Li Bu is getting married, and the woman is Lin Hong, the daughter of the Lin family, who is the matchmaker between me and Lord Zhou and Lord Lu. So this time in the Northeast to quell the turmoil, he can't walk with you. β
"Huh? Is Libu going to get married? I don't know, he didn't tell me. β
"He may also know now that Lord Zhou will go to Loei Mansion after today, and let him bring the dowry to the Lin family tomorrow, and we have already decided for him as an elder, and there will be no change." Master Li said.
Li Du secretly said that it was an arranged marriage again, but judging from Li Bu's guy, it seems that only this method can force him to marry a wife.
"Grandpa, won't I be able to drink his happy wine?
"When you come back triumphantly, make up for it, are you two afraid that you two won't have a chance to drink?"
"I said grandpa, can you delay it for a few days before leaving?" Li He discussed.
Master Li was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and sighed: "It's hundreds of lives a day......
"Okay, okay, three days later, I'll go, leave on time......" Li He made a bitter face and said, "Grandpa, do you have anything else?" If not, I'll go first. β
"Hmm." Mrs. Li patted his little grandson on the shoulder again and said to him, "Have a good rest these two days." If the emperor really asks you to ride the fire unicorn tomorrow, don't throw him too hard, otherwise the queen mother will not be able to explain. β
Li He nodded and said, "Don't worry, grandpa, I won't kill that little eunuch." But as soon as he turned around, he said in a low voice, "It's weird." β
Li He just pushed the door and was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something, hesitated, and stopped at the door.
Taishi Li said: "What, Tielang, are you still in trouble?"
Li He turned around, looked at his grandfather, and said; "Grandpa, I have something to ask, I don't know whether to ask or not.
Oh, between you and my grandchildren, what else do you see? Just ask.
Li He thought for a moment before asking cautiously; "Does Grandpa remember Zhao Qingya?"
Hearing this Mingyu, Li Taishi's whole person was suddenly stunned, his eyes seemed to squint subconsciously, Li He couldn't help but be a little worried, the medical immortal Zhao Qingya can be said to have a certain relationship with the death of grandma and grandpa, and when asked about her, grandpa will inevitably think of grandma.
After a long time, Li He seemed to hear his grandfather sigh softly and said, "How did you know this name?"
Li He went to Wanlin Sect in order to save Jingji and Ling'er's three daughters, but he deliberately skipped the process of his arrival on Netherworld, and only said that after the medical fairy knew that he was a member of the Li family, he tried his best to save the three daughters and told him about the past.
"Grandpa, Senior Zhao said that she has always regretted it, I'm sorry for you, and I didn't dare to come to see you."
After listening to this, Taishi Li's expression seemed to be a little tired, and he slowly sat down in the chair, shook his head and said, "Everything has passed, and I have never blamed her." Your grandmother...... It's fate. β
Li He saw that there seemed to be tears flashing in his grandfather's eyes, and his voice was no longer as low as when he was talking about the court and the world with him just now. The current grandfather is just an ordinary old man trapped by love......
"Grandpa, I have a question."
"Just ask."
"Where has that Concubine Han Xiuyun gone now?" Li He asked. He remembered that since he was born, the Li family had never heard of such a person. But listening to the words of the medical fairy, this Han Xiuyun has been in the Li family, is it right, has he passed away?
Master Li said: "Xiuyun, isn't it your ghost aunt."
"Huh~?"
