Consort Li had already let go of the position of Emperor Tang Ge. What else could she do? The situation was pressing!
Just as Li Bawang had said, Li Er's power group had already gained the upper hand and was gradually taking control of this country. The Li family and aristocratic families were powerless.
The aristocratic families were naturally very dissatisfied. In the future, they would continue to slander Li Er and even embarrass him when he was in power.
But so what? It didn't stop Li Er from becoming the first emperor in history.
He looked at Consort Li indifferently on the surface, but there was a trace of loneliness in the depths of his eyes.
Li Bawang knew very well that if he hadn't intervened in Tang Ge, the Li Consortium's life after their abdication wouldn't have been good.
It wasn't that he didn't say it well, but that he was like a prisoner, imprisoned in the palace. The only thing he could do was drink, have fun, and crazily make children.
His influence and prestige were too great. Although Li Er could not kill him, he would definitely not let him come into contact with things on the level of power. The inner court of the palace would be his home.
For the founding emperor of a country, this was definitely inhuman torture.
Li Bawang looked at the desolate Consort Li and felt a little sorry. No matter what, he was still his cheap father here.
In his opinion, as long as that second brother became the Emperor, the Li Consortium would not pose much of a threat.
Therefore, he couldn't help but say,"Father, this world is so big. Why don't you go out and take a look?"”
"Although I, Tang Ge, have vast territory and abundant resources, don't you want to know what's outside of Tang Ge? The Western Region, the South, the sea, and even the continent across the sea, where is the infinite land that is vaster than me, Tang Ge?"
Li Bawang told the Li Consortium some stories about the West Continent and the South Continent, which instantly attracted his attention. His face even revealed an incomparable yearning.
Then, a helpless expression appeared on Consort Li's face.
He knew very well that Li Er would never let him walk around casually. It was difficult to walk out of the palace, so how could he go out and take a look?
"Father, Second Brother is not unreasonable. Do you want to go out and see the magnificence of this Tang Ge that you built?”Bawang Li comforted him while flattering him.
"Hmph, I have already given him the throne. Do you want me to die of old age here?”Consort Li knew that it was the truth, but she still said it out of anger.
"Of course not. I will persuade second brother.”Bawang Li promised with a smile.
When Consort Li heard Li Bawang's words, her eyes lit up. In such a big matter, perhaps only Li Bawang could persuade Li Er.
"Good, good, good, San Lang." Consort Li was so excited that she said "good" three times.
The two of them talked like this for the whole morning. All the guards, eunuchs, and palace maids outside the Taiji Palace were not allowed to approach. This was Li Er's order.
Even Li Er didn't want to find out what the Li Consortium and Li Bawang had discussed because there was no need to. He believed that the Li Consortium could see the situation clearly, and he also believed that Li Bawang wouldn't interfere with the throne.
After noon, Li Bawang came out of the palace. He had no interest in knowing about the matter of the transfer of the throne between the Consort Li and Li Er.
After leaving the Imperial Palace, he finally had time to take a good look around Luo 'an City. He had the guards stop at the Imperial City's barracks while he brought Lin Qi and the others around.
Although he was quite famous among Tang Ge's higher-ups, ordinary people in Luo 'an, and even some low-level dignitaries, didn't know him at all.
Moreover, he was wearing ordinary clothes. Although it was gorgeous, it was impossible to determine his identity.
This was also the reason why he could go shopping so easily.
While walking on the street, he asked Lin Qi,""How is the Golden Tower?"
" Langjun, everything is going according to your arrangements. I delivered the treasure in the morning and opened for business. With the publicity method you taught Mrs. Li, Tang Ge's Golden Restaurant became famous a few days ago.”
"It's just that those merchants and dignitaries didn't see the treasure and didn't believe it. After seeing it this morning, they were all stunned. When I left, the entire Golden Tower was full.”
"Who doesn't know that the merchants and nobles in Luo 'an City who are slightly wealthy have unique treasures in Tang Ge's Golden Tower?”
Lin Qi's words were filled with pride. His lord had brought these things back from the sky. It was inevitable that they would shock the entire Luo 'an.
Li Bawang nodded and continued to ask,""Have you arranged for those heroes?”
"Yes, according to your instructions, these people are all under General Qin's command. A group of people will stay in the Golden Tower to watch over them, and a group of people will be sent to the barracks for training. General Qin Jing also asked me to bring an identity card to Your Highness. After all, you are the highest commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.”
After Old Seven finished speaking, he handed over a bronze plate with both hands.
The bronze plate was engraved with the words 'Commander of the Brocade Guard, Tang Ge.'
Li Bawang looked at it and casually kicked his body. He had no interest in leading the Jinyiwei. He just wanted to build such an organization to make Tang Ge's intelligence organization stronger. It would be very useful to gather intelligence about neighboring countries in the future.
"Let's go to the Golden Tower to take a look."
Then, the group of people walked towards Luo 'an City's market.
This market was the most developed place in Luo 'an. Not only were there many shops, but there were also all kinds of industries. Whether it was restaurants or brothels, there was an endless stream of customers.
Among these people, not only were there commoners, merchants, and nobles, but there was also no lack of children of aristocratic families and scholars.
At this moment, the most lively place in the entire market was an ancient building in the central street.
The entire ancient building occupied a very large area. It was larger than the other shops and ancient buildings. The exterior was even more luxurious. There was also a huge courtyard behind it.
This place used to be the property of Li Cheng, the Hidden Crown Prince. After the Mysterious Gate, his property was given to Vice General Wei by Li. Then, Vice General Wei knew that Li Bawang wanted to get the Golden Tower, so he gave up this property.
Now, the entrance of the Golden Tower was crowded with people. Many people stopped outside to watch. It was not that they did not want to enter, but they did not have the right.
Only those wealthy merchants, descendants of aristocratic families, and descendants of noble families could enter. Ordinary people could only watch from the outside.
When Li Bawang approached, he heard a waiter coming out of the Golden Tower and shouting at the people outside,""Congratulations to the seventh young master of the Lu family of Fan Yang for obtaining the precious Glazed Qilin statue. The price is 1,000 strings!”
