Chapter 194 Li Xiang jumped and said: If you hit me with a big stick, I will run! (ask for monthly ticket)
Old Li's question can be said to be a soul-searching question, and it made Li Xiang a little confused.

It is precisely because I don’t want to choose that I want them all.

But there can only be one position of the main wife, that is, the future queen, which is really a bit difficult.

"Aunt, do you have any suggestions?" Li Xiang wanted to pass the ball to Li Mingda, but Li Mingda rolled his eyes at him and ignored him.

Seeing that Li Mingda, who had always doted on him, expressed contempt for him, Li Xiang spread his hands, not knowing what to say.

When he went home and told Li Jue the story in the evening, he also asked Li Jue this question.

"Second brother, who do you think is more suitable to be the eldest brother's legal wife?"

"Zheng Qi? What is Zheng Qi? Is there also Zheng Ba?" Li Jue raised his head and looked at him cutely.

"Hey, kid." Li Xiang never expected that Li Jue was also a fool. "Legal wife means the first wife, just like Uncle Yao's Princess Jin is his legal wife."

"Oh, that's what you mean." Li Jue nodded, then shook his head at Li Xiang: "I don't know."

Li Xiang: …

Forget it, I can't count on this little bastard.

When I go to bed at night, I toss and turn in bed and only fall asleep in the second half of the night.

When I woke up the next morning, it was already noon.

His family knew that he was very tired recently, so no one came to urge him to get up.

When he went out to eat, he saw Li Chengqian coming back with an indignant look on his face.

"What's wrong, yeah?" Li Xiang rubbed his face and yawned.

He was still a little sleepy.

"Isn't it your second uncle who's causing all the trouble? I thought he had calmed down, but I never expected that he would still be so evil!" Li Chengqian was still indignant: "I think he just can't stand the good of our Eastern Palace, and he has to impeach something to be happy!"

"Then who did he impeach?" Li Xiang asked curiously.

"Your cousin, Zhao Jie." Li Chengqian sighed and said, "It is said that Zhao Jie has committed many illegal acts, and your grandfather fined him a year's salary because of this."

"What exactly is illegal?" Li Xiang asked again. He had never heard that Zhao Jie had any bad habits.

"He got jealous and beat someone up in Pingkangfang." Li Chengqian said this with a bit of embarrassment on his face.

This matter is neither easy to talk about nor pleasant to hear. He feels a little embarrassed when he talks about it.

Is this the character of your people in the East Palace? Going to a brothel to get jealous and even beat someone up?
Li Shimin only did this for Princess Guiyang's sake, otherwise he would have had to give Zhao Jie a big punishment.

Hearing this, Li Xiang also began to taste something.

It may not be the Second Uncle's evil intentions... No, it may not be that he is still eyeing the position of the Eastern Palace. Maybe he is just unwilling to accept it and will make a final counterattack?
But now it seems that Li Tai will definitely not be able to achieve anything.

but……

Li Xiang turned his gaze to Li Yifu, who was looking very proud in the distance.

You see, isn’t this just like reaching for a pillow when you feel sleepy?

This opportunity is very rare. Instead of letting his second uncle impeach people like Du He and Zhao Jie who can really help his father, it is better for him to impeach Li Yifu.

Li Xiang knew Li Chengqian quite well.

Li Yifu is a bastard and not a good person. What if he leads his father, who has finally regained his dignity, astray again?
Any signs must be nipped in the bud!

As for people like Li Yifu, Li Xiang felt that he didn't need them at all.

The atmosphere of the Zhenguan Dynasty, where the emperor was wise and the ministers were virtuous, was corrupted by Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang. They formed cliques, pursued personal interests, and attacked each other...

Among them, Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong are the most important.

In order to climb up, they will do anything and have no bottom line.

Li Xiang took a deep breath and said, "I, an elephant, don't know the way home, but I must get rid of you, a villain!"
How can we conduct politics well if we are with such insects?

But he couldn't tell Li Chengqian about this. After all, his father had finally found such a considerate minister. If he said something bad about him, he would be kicked out, as if he couldn't bear to see his father doing well.

Well, let my second uncle suffer a little.

Thinking of this, Li Xiang asked Li Chengqian: "Then how is Aye going to deal with the attack from Second Uncle?"

"It doesn't matter. If the enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers. If the water comes, we will block it with earth. I have an elephant, so why should I be afraid of his fat chicken?" Li Chengqian looked very content as long as he had a son. His self-confidence was overflowing.

Finally, Li Chengqian said, "But you are right. We should make some response... Let me call together the officials of the East Palace and hold a small meeting in Mingde Hall to discuss it."

Li Xiang also attended the meeting. He wanted to see how Li Chengqian planned to respond.

Soon, the officials who were still in the East Palace came to the Lizheng Hall.

Zhao Jie sat there, looking at the ground with shame on his face, like Xu Shu who had entered Cao's camp. He said nothing.

"You all know what happened at the court meeting today." Li Chengqian first set the tone for the meeting: "What do you think about the King of Wei's attack on my Eastern Palace?"

"I am guilty." Zhao Jie was the first to admit his mistake: "I shouldn't have lost my composure in Pingkangfang and caused trouble for Your Highness..."

"It's all in the past, cousin." Li Chengqian waved his hand nonchalantly, "Just be careful next time."

It must be said that Li Chengqian's generous character towards his own people is one of the reasons why the officials of the Eastern Palace follow him wholeheartedly.

"Thank you for your tolerance, Your Highness." Zhao Jie felt ashamed and sweated profusely.

Du He looked at him and had no idea what had gone wrong with this guy in the past two days.

Seeing that no one answered, Li Yifu looked at Li Xiang who was still reading a book and said, "I do have some simple opinions."

After hearing what Li Yifu said, Li Xiang moved his ears and didn't say much.

"Well, go ahead." Li Chengqian twisted his body casually.

"Since the people of the King of Wei have impeached my officials in the Eastern Palace, we should fight back." Li Yifu looked up at Li Chengqian and continued, "The King of Wei has always wanted to compete for the throne, but the previous prince's many plots have made Your Highness regain favor. Now the prince has made new contributions and further consolidated the position of the Eastern Palace. The King of Wei will definitely not sit idly by and wait for death."

"So what we have to do is to fight back fiercely and discourage the King of Wei from competing for the throne. At least we have to teach him a lesson and let him know that my East Palace is not to be messed with."

There was obviously something else behind Li Yifu's words. He seemed to be praising Li Xiang everywhere, but in fact he was praising him to death.

He deliberately praised Li Xiang, which then caused Li Chengqian to be suspicious of Li Xiang. His behavior was extremely vicious.

But this...

If you say this to someone who is suspicious or has a strong sense of self-esteem, the seeds of doubt may be planted.

But unfortunately, a single-celled organism like Li Chengqian not only failed to hear the hidden meaning of Li Yifu's words, but also thought that he was not only praising Li Xiang, but also praising him for having a good son.

But Li Chengqian is now burdened with being an idol, and doesn't like to show his emotions on his face, so he just said in a light tone: "What Li Qing said is very much in line with my heart."

Seeing Li Chengqian's expression, Li Yifu was secretly happy.

It seems that his bet was right. It turns out that the prince really has doubts about the Prince of Hengshan. His words just now were also to test Li Chengqian to see if he had any thoughts in this regard.

Unexpectedly, I guessed it right!
"I have collected some illegal activities of the censors of the Prince of Wei's party, including occupying people's land and committing illegal acts. Your Highness, please take a look at it." Li Yifu took out the homework he had prepared long ago from his sleeve and presented it to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian took the booklet, flipped through it carefully, and his face immediately turned gloomy.

"How can this Qingque be so filthy! Doesn't he even look at the kind of people he associates with?"

After that, he put down the booklet and said to Li Yifu, "Where do these charges come from?"

"They were all collected privately by me." Li Yifu replied respectfully.

Li Chengqian nodded slightly. He thought for a while and decided to discuss with Li Xiang what to do later.

"I understand. You guys can leave first."

"Yes." Everyone took the order and left.

Li Xiang also wanted to leave, but was caught by Li Chengqian.

"Xiang'er, what do you think?" Li Chengqian asked.

"What can I think?" Li Xiang scratched his head: "Doesn't Aye have his own opinions? Why are you asking me?"

"I was just thinking, your grandfather finally saw my brother and I getting along well. If we quarrel again before the end of the year, I'm afraid it will not look good in front of the old man." Li Chengqian felt that the booklet was very heavy when he held it.

"Then don't impeach." Li Xiang spread his hands and imitated Li Jue to pretend to be confused.

At the same time, he felt a little relieved that his father was now really... mature.

"If we don't fight back, won't people think that we, the Eastern Palace, are easy to bully?" Li Chengqian asked back.

"It's a good opportunity to show Grandfather the broad-mindedness of Grandfather as the eldest brother." Li Xiang spread his hands.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian suddenly realized something.

"Ah... Xiang'er's words are like the light that has been lifted from the clouds for me, my father.

Li Xiang: …

You can't say that. I'm your son, not your godfather.

Li Chengqian now understood that the best counterattack is not to fight back.

After all, the referee now is Li Shimin, and Old Li is relatively fair.

If he doesn't fight back, his impression score in front of Lao Li will definitely increase greatly, and Li Tai's score will also drop.

You see, you attacked your elder brother, but he just laughed it off...

"Oh, by the way, Father." Li Xiang looked at the happy Li Chengqian and asked, "Father wants to arrange a marriage for me and let me choose my own wife. Do you think the girl from the Pei family is suitable or the girl from the Feng family is suitable?"

"So what do you think?" Li Chengqian was even happier when he heard Li Xiang's question.

His eldest son usually acts like he can do anything, and sometimes he, as a father, feels a little frustrated.

Now his eldest son actually has questions to ask him, how can he not be happy?
It actually feels good to be needed.

As he thought about it, he sat up straight, looking like an elder who was about to impart life experience.

"I'm hesitant. Actually, I get along pretty well with Sister Baoer in Dengzhou. It feels very comfortable to get along with her..." Li Xiang said, spreading his hands.

"Then it's your sister Baoer." Li Chengqian nodded.

"No, her personality isn't suitable. She's usually a bit silly, so she's not suitable." Li Xiang shook his head again.

"Then it's the daughter of the Pei family." Li Chengqian said again.

"No, Feng Qing works very hard in the Governor's Office. I always feel that he is a little bit..." Li Xiang stretched out his hand and circled the right side of his head.

"Then it's your sister Baoer." Li Chengqian said.

"But Sister Pei is gentle and generous, which also appeals to me." Li Xiang said again.

Li Chengqian took a deep breath and said with an unhappy look, "Then whoever you met first will be first come first served! I remember Pei Xueqing knitted dozens of pairs of wool socks for you before you left."

"This is also a good idea." Li Xiang nodded.

"You kid, when my father ascends the throne, the crown prince will be yours." Li Chengqian looked at Li Xiang with displeasure, "How can the crown princess be a woman from a small family? Listen to me, the daughter of the Pei family is from the Hedong Pei family after all, it won't be an insult to you, let her be your legal wife."

"That's fine." Li Xiang accepted Li Chengqian's suggestion and pretended to be admiring: "Father, you are indeed very shrewd..."

"Is wily and shrewd a good way to describe your father?" Li Chengqian felt a fire rising in his head.

"Cunning and cunning?" Li Xiang asked again.

Li Chengqian stood up suddenly and asked unkindly, "I'll give you one more chance. Think carefully about how to describe it."

"Old... old..." Li Xiang really couldn't think of any good adjective. He took the opportunity when Li Chengqian was distracted and turned around and ran.

"I really can't think of it--!" he shouted as he ran.

"Fuck you! Stop right there!" Li Chengqian ran after him, "I'm going to teach you a lesson today. I'll show you who the father is!"

"I am going to suffer a heavy blow after receiving a small blow. I can't put you in an unjust position, Aye!" Li Xiang was still shouting in front.

The two of them ran all the way from the East Palace to the Lizheng Hall. Seeing that Li Chengqian was still unwilling to let him go, Li Xiang's eyes rolled and he immediately went into the Lizheng Hall.

"Aunt! Help!" Li Xiang shouted in a weird voice, "My father wants to beat me!"

"Big brother wants to beat you?" Li Mingda covered his mouth and chuckled, "Did you make him angry? You little naughty monkey, you are always naughty. Now that you have caused trouble, you come to find your aunt?"

"Stop talking, auntie, help!" Li Xiang shouted anxiously, and was about to get behind Li Mingda.

At this moment, Li Chengqian also walked into the Lizheng Hall.

"Where is the Prince of Hengshan?" he asked Lian Qiao angrily.

Lian Qiao shook her head and said very honestly, "The prince didn't let me tell you that he is with the princess."

At the same time, a sad cry was heard from Li Mingda's side hall.

"Lian Qiao! I've always been so nice to you, thinking of you when I have something delicious, and you're just going to betray me like this! You traitor!"

"Good boy! How dare you go to your aunt to ask for shelter!" Li Chengqian pulled aside the curtain and saw Li Xiang hiding behind Li Mingda: "Come out... Come out!"

I originally wanted to curse, but considering that I was in front of my sister, it was better not to say something so harsh.

So Li Chengqian held back his words and replaced them with a more elegant one.
