Li Wanjiang is actually very weak in family affection, when he kills the prince and cleans up his relatives, he is resolute, drastic, cutting grass and roots, ruthless and hard-hearted.

But then again, who can be ruthless?

After all, the queen mother is his own mother, and when the old lady died, she killed her relatives, dethroned her, confiscated the army, and exiled......

In retrospect, it is somewhat inevitable that I will feel related.

So when Li Wanyun promoted Lin Han to be the general of Yizhou, he happily agreed, and later Yizhou was lost, Lin Han led the remnants to retreat, and he did not give an order to condemn the crime, but comforted him and made Lin Han a general of Minzhou.

Of course, the loss of Yizhou is not Lin Han's sin, but if you want to ask him about his sin, it is no problem, but Li Wanjiang is so tolerant, it can be seen that it is more or less for the sake of the deceased mother......

Li Wanjiang also casually asked Zhu Xiaochuan, what is Shi Mingtao doing now?

Zhu Xiaochuan was taken aback at the time, thinking that the emperor wanted to clean up Shi Mingtao, so he hurriedly advised.

As a result, Li Wanjiang just smiled and said that although Shi Mingtao is the distant nephew of the Queen Mother, he is also my cousin, and he just wants to ask him about his current situation......

When Zhu Xiaochuan talked about this when he was chatting with Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen also knew what the emperor was thinking.

Shi Mingtao has no fame, he is a businessman, he has done a lot of illegal things, and he has been robbed of his house and imprisoned, so even if Li Wanjiang wants to take care of him, he can't do it, and naturally he won't take the initiative to summon him into the palace.

But if Shi Mingtao took the initiative, Li Wanjiang would definitely be very happy.

"Why I'm still scared when I hear it." Shi Mingtao listened to Xiao Chen's words, but he didn't show much joy.

After he was raided last time, he became a frightened bird, learned how to protect himself, and moved his family to Yanyun County, all he saved was a heart to avoid trouble, and now he doesn't want to wade into any troubled waters.

The reason why he was happy to donate this time was mainly to repay the emperor for not killing him, although Shi Mingtao was a businessman, he was somewhat righteous, and his grievances were extremely clear.

"That's what I said, the matter is also such a reason, in fact, you just have to wait for the news to see, if the emperor allows you to donate funds to students, it means that he still cares about the queen mother's affection, you can show off in Fengyang City, if not, you will be a man with your tail between your legs." Xiao Chen said.

"I think it's safest to be a man with his tail between his legs and make a fortune in a muffled voice." Shi Mingtao said.

"Well, it's not wrong to be a man with your tail between your legs, but you don't have to be silent to make a fortune, who doesn't know that your kid is a big man in Fengyang City, and the silver you earn is piled up into a mountain? Li Hong's words just now are of course a joke, but they also make sense, you can't just think about being alone, but also do something to help the world. Xiao Chen said.

"Boss, did you mean to let me do charity?" Shi Mingtao said, "I also thought about it, and I don't care about some money, but I'm afraid that it will be self-defeating if I become a bird and be hated by others." ”

"Doing charity is not for others to see, but to seek peace of mind for yourself, you have your own fine clothes and food, but you should also think about the suffering of the people, Lao Tzu said, 'The way of heaven is more than enough to make up for the shortcomings.'" You have earned so much silver that you can't spend in your lifetime, rather than leaving it to your children and grandchildren, it is better to leave more yin virtue for your children and grandchildren. Xiao Chen said.

"Go back and go to Langya County to take a look, the people there are still very poor, and some people know how poor they are? There are four or five people in the family, and there is only one cotton coat in winter! Whoever goes out and who wears, everyone else can only curl up at home, it's a joke to say, but it's actually sad! Xiao Chen sighed as he spoke, his expression sad.

"Now there is no governor in Langya County, if your boss becomes the governor, I will definitely follow you, I will pay if I can, and I will contribute if I can." Shi Mingtao said.

"I can't do it." Xiao Chen said, "But no matter who is the governor of Langya County in the future, you will definitely be welcome to Mingtao." ”

"Don't say it, although Langya County is poor, it has a lot to do...... I wonder who's going to be the governor? Shi Mingtao said.

"Whoever does it can't be our brother's turn, so don't worry about it, don't you want to treat you at night? Don't hurry up and get ready to go. Xiao Chen gave an eviction order.

"No, I'm chatting with your boss, and I still have to give a gift to Prince Xuanping." Shi Mingtao got up and said goodbye.

Sending Shi Mingtao away, Xiao Chen came to Lin Qi, Lin Qi Xiao Yu and his group were busy sorting out gifts and writing gift lists, these were all for Old Man Chen, Sister Lin and Zhao Gongming, Xiao Chen didn't go back for the New Year, but there must be a New Year's gift.

"Why are there so many things?" Xiao Chen was dizzy when he looked at the things in the yard, "Didn't I say it, just send something to the old man, and if you send too much, he will scold me for being wasteful." ”

"This is not only your big brother Xiao's gift, but also the fat brother's, Ling'er's sister's, Xiao Ye's ......," Lin Qi said.

"Oh...... If you want to send it, send it quickly, it's the New Year in two days. Xiao Chen said, "Lin Qi, you let go of what you are doing first, and go out with me." ”

"Hey!" Lin Qi agreed, brushed and quickly finished writing a gift list, and explained to Xiao Yu and them that the gift list on the table should not be moved, I finally sorted it out, and I will trouble you to turn around if you mess it up!

When he came out, he saw that there were only himself and Xiao Chen, and he couldn't help asking, "Brother Xiao, where are we going?" ”

"Did you come home when you came back? Old lady, okay? Xiao Chen said.

"The old lady is very good, but she has a little cough, and it is this old problem in winter, and the family is very good." Lin Qi said.

"Let's go to Jinyiwei Prison and meet your father, and when you come back from afar, you should let him see you." Xiao Chen said.

"Hmm." Lin Qi was grateful and silent.

Lin Qi and Xiao Chen got along very casually, but when he saw his father, he was extremely restrained, and he just stood solemnly when he knelt down, Lin Dongyang didn't ask him anything, and he didn't dare to say a word.

"I have also received all your letters, although the prince and the marquis take care of you, but you are young, a white cloth, but you are involved in all kinds of confidential things, and you are talking nonsense, it is disrespectful, and it is very undeserved!" Lin Dongyang was happy to see his son, but his face was always tense.

"Yes, my son knows that he is wrong." Lin Qi said busily.

"Lord Lin, what you said, Lin Qi also helped us a lot in the army, and he didn't talk nonsense, we only said it after we asked, although he was dressed in white, but he made a lot of contributions, presumably the emperor will definitely reward him this time, maybe it is not necessary to give him a jinshi background directly."

"He is just under the protection of your Xiao Chen, and he has only done a little bit of service, what credit is there? If the emperor rewarded him, it would be unfair to the soldiers, Lin Qi, you remember, if the above rewards him, you will have to resign, and you can't receive any reward! Lin Dongyang said.

"Yes, my son knows." Lin Qi replied respectfully.
