The originally crowded and noisy mansion.
It was now silent.
Li Ji looked at Li Jing cautiously, and then at his own child uneasily, afraid that the two of them would start fighting.
Should he persuade her?
Li Ji was somewhat hesitant. It wasn't that he didn't want to persuade him, but he understood Li Jing's character too well.
This person.
It wasn't just a word of persuasion.
This person was not magnanimous!
In the current imperial court, those who had conflicts with Li Jing were either dismissed from their posts or transferred out of Chang 'an to take up local posts.
That was why there was a saying in the imperial court: He would rather offend the Prime Minister than the Duke of Wei!
"You're very good."
Suddenly, Li Jing said,"As expected of the remonstrant that His Majesty values. With just a few words, he can make the dukes turn hostility into friendship."”
"I underestimated you."
"Uncle Li, there's something wrong with what you said. Aren't you still here?"”
"Now you know how to call me uncle?" Li Jing chuckled and shook his head.""Forget it, this old man is not a petty person. Tell me, what should we do about this matter?”
"Uncle Li, what do you think we should do?"”
"This old master is asking you now, and you're asking this old master?”
Li Jing glanced at him and said with a fake smile,
"There's no need to make a big deal out of it. You also know that this old man is the Minister of War.”
"Alright," said Li Zhen with a smile.
Li Jing didn't say anything else. He turned around and left decisively.
After his figure had completely left the mansion, Li Ji strode up to him and couldn't help but ask,"
"Li Zhen, what does Li Jing mean?”
"What he means is that after I go to the Ministry of War, he will deal with me.”
Li Zhen shrugged and said,
"Actually, Li Weigong just wants a way out. After all, this matter has disgraced him. If we don't agree to this matter and let him take this opportunity to get out of this situation, he probably won't leave today, and he probably won't leave in the future.”
Hiss--
Li Ji couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. This old fellow was so ruthless?!
But wait a minute--
It seemed to be better than throwing a tantrum on the spot!
Li Ji sorted out his thoughts and waved at Li Zhen. He led him into the hall, sat down behind a few tables, and asked,
"Li Zhen, is this matter really over?”
Li Zhen nodded.
It was not good.
The High Dukes had all left.
Could it be that the father and son would fight?!
"Should I praise you?" Li Ji continued to ask.”
Li Zhen pondered for a moment." There's no need for that. If you want to praise me, it's not impossible.”
Bang!
The sound of a palm hitting the table rang out.
"You still have the heart to let this old man praise you?" Li Ji flew into a rage.”
"Look at what you've done!"
"Father wants you to be an imperial censor. Can't you just be an imperial censor obediently? Why did you have to cause so much trouble!"
"You can do anything you want. You went to provoke those nine old fogeys. Are they people you can afford to provoke? This old man knows their personalities the best. If they are not careful, they will definitely fight. Look at Du Yan, he was beaten up by others. This is a lesson from the past!”
"You can avoid this calamity."
"Can you avoid all this?”
"Father is doing this for your own good!"
"If you're too high-profile, you'll be targeted."
Li Ji was resentful that iron did not become steel." A tree that stands out in the forest must be destroyed by the wind. If one's behavior is superior to others, they must be criticized! You must keep a low profile!"
"I'll remember." Li Zhen nodded.”
Pa da---
At this moment, a memorial suddenly slipped out of Li Zhen's sleeve and fell to the ground.
Li Ji's eyes narrowed." What's that? Show it to me."
Li Zhen hesitated." This is just something I wrote casually. It's not useful. I won't pollute your eyes."”
This thing.
He could write at will?
Li Ji felt that there was something wrong. He stood up with a straight face and strode to his side. He snatched it from his hand. When he took a closer look, his nose was almost crooked from anger.
The memorial was presented.
All that was written were his words.
This kid.
And he was still holding back!
"Li Zhen, explain to this old man!”
" What's this?!"
Li Ji turned his head in rage.
However, he realized that his son had disappeared.
"What a bastard!"
Li Ji angrily stomped his feet, his heart filled with rage. This stinky brat, who knows where he learned so many crooked ways, even his father wants to participate!

Taiji Palace, Dew Hall.
"Li Zhen is not bad."
Li Eryi read the memorial while listening to the news brought back by Peng Yu. At the end, he put down the memorial in his hand and raised his head, clicking his tongue in wonder.
"Nine High Dukes are looking for trouble with him."
"He actually chased them all back. With just a few words, he was able to settle such a big matter. If it were me, I would have a headache for a few days.”
"Your Majesty has a discerning eye, and the person you fancy is naturally not ordinary.”
Peng Yu said with a smile. Suddenly, he changed the topic and said,
"Your Majesty, when this servant returned, I heard that the Eastern Palace had also sent people out. The Crown Prince seemed to be quite interested in this matter.”
Li Er frowned.
The Crown Prince?
Was he also paying attention to Li Zhen?
