Li Ke was stunned for a moment before he laughed out loud.
"Children's words have no fear, Er Ya."
Li Ke rubbed Er Ya's little head and said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter if you say such things in front of me in the future, but you can't say it in front of others. Otherwise, it will cause trouble and even bring disaster.”
Wang Erya nodded, but she could not help but ask.
"But I didn't say anything wrong."
"The elders in our village have said that taking other people's things is called stealing.”
"Thieves are not things, they are bastards.”
"Oh, I remember now!"
Wang Erya came to a sudden realization. She quickly covered her mouth and said carefully.
"Your father is the emperor. Whatever the emperor does is right!”
"Scolding the emperor is a sin."
Li Ke looked at the panic-stricken Wang Erya and smiled dotingly.
"It's okay. You're not wrong. The world is wrong.”
"But don't worry, I won't wait too long. I will change the world.”
……
The imperial edict was issued by the Ministry of Central Affairs and spread throughout the country.
Therefore, on the fifth day after everyone knew that Li Ke had been reprimanded, Du Wenruo, an official of the Ministry of Rites, came with an edict to bring Li Ke into Chang 'an.
"Your Highness the King of Shu, please enter the carriage.”
Du Wenruo smiled proudly and pointed at the shabby carriage beside her.
This was the intention of the aristocratic family officials. They deliberately gave Li Ke a shabby carriage to embarrass him and suppress his arrogance.
"This King is guilty?"
Li Ke asked with a smile.
"This…"
Du Wenruo thought for a moment and said.
"Although His Majesty issued an edict to reprimand His Highness the King of Shu, he also said that he would make up for his mistakes. This time, he came to Chang 'an mainly to share the production method of the smallflower reagent.”
"There's no crime."
Li Ke still maintained his smile.
"Since you are not guilty and not a sinner, why did you give me such an old carriage?”
"This king has a noble status. Are you trying to humiliate this king by giving me such a broken carriage?”
Du Wenruo cupped his hands.
"I dare not!"
Although he could do that, he definitely could not say that. Otherwise, he would not be able to bear the consequences.
If it were any other official, they would definitely be at a loss and immediately admit defeat after being questioned by Li Ke.
However, Du Wenruo was from the Capital Zhao's Du Clan. He was also from a great aristocratic clan and had seen the world. He had long thought of a countermeasure.
"It's just that the Imperial Court has a hard time spending money, and His Majesty advocates frugality. This is already the best carriage that the Ministry of Rites can use.”
"Please feel wronged, Your Highness.”
Du Wenruo spoke politely, but the arrogance and arrogance in her tone were very obvious.
Without waiting for Li Ke to speak, the villagers of Changshui Village could not stand it anymore.
"You're going too far, dog official!"
"How dare you bully the King of Shu and let him ride in such a broken carriage?”
"Smashed, smashed! You guys are bullying honest people. We can't stand it anymore!”
The people of Guanzhong are tough, but no matter who you are, you can't bully our savior.
Du Wenruo's heart sank.
He did not expect Li Ke to be so popular. The people actually fell out with him for him and even smashed the carriage.
"You, what are you doing? You bunch of unruly people, do you want to rebel?”
Du Wenruo shouted fiercely.
"Hurry up and retreat, or I'll put all of you in jail!”
"Get up!"
However, the villagers were not afraid at all. They were even prepared to make a move.
Fortunately, Li Ke shouted to stop in time.
"Fellow villagers, stop fighting."
Li Ke said with a smile.
"This guy is just a lackey.”
"Why are humans and dogs barking?"
The villagers burst into laughter when they heard that.
They had never had a good impression of the aristocratic families because they had always oppressed and bullied them.
They did not have any good feelings for the Imperial Court now, because when they were in a desperate situation, the Imperial Court chose to abandon them and let them fend for themselves.
They now trusted and loved Li Ke.
Because Li Ke had saved their lives and given them hope. He was their savior and their god!
What Li Ke liked was naturally what they protected.
What Li Ke hated was naturally what they despised.
What Li Ke chose to ignore was naturally…
They looked down on him and despised him.
"What did you say?"
Du Wenruo was furious and glared at Li Ke.
" King of Shu, do you know that I'm from the Du family of the capital? Don't think that just because you're the King of Shu or a prince…"
Without waiting for Du Wenruo to finish speaking, Li Ke smiled in disdain and said.
"The Du family of the capital is a great aristocratic family. The most capable one should be Lord Du Ruhui, who is by my Imperial Father's side.”
"If it was Du Ruhui or your current patriarch Du Ruqing, they would barely be qualified to talk to me.”
"You? However, a servant of the Du family, a small character who runs errands to pick up people, is he worthy of shouting at this king?”
Li Ke's words were simply murderous.
Even though he was born in the Capital Zhao Du Family, Du Wenruo actually didn't have any powerful backing at all. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been reduced to coming out to receive people.
Don't hit people in the face, and don't expose people when scolding people.
Li Ke was simply too ruthless.
Without waiting for Du Wenruo to speak, Li Ke continued.
"I don't know who gave you the idea to use a broken carriage to humiliate this king.”
"Let me tell you, my father invited me to Chang 'an, but he didn't say that I had to take your carriage.”
"This Prince will take his own carriage and leave first. See you in Chang 'an.”
After Li Ke finished speaking, he completely ignored Du Wenruo and directly jumped into the car. He gave the driver a look and directly drove away.
"Thump thump thump…"
The 30-plus cars retreated as fast as lightning, leaving behind black smoke.
Only the shocked Du Wenruo was left, unable to close her mouth.
"This, what kind of demonic technique is this? The carriage can actually run without a horse, and it's so fast?”
Du Wenruo couldn't help but exclaim.
What he received was disdain and mockery from the villagers.
"You're from Beijing? You haven't even seen a car before.”
"You really haven't seen the world. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to count on you bunch of dog officials for anything!”
"Dog official, why aren't you chasing after him? The King of Shu will arrive in Chang 'an in a while. How are you going to report if you haven't arrived yet?”
"Haha…"
Du Wenruo's heart tightened and she hurriedly ordered her subordinates to chase after Li Ke.
It wasn't until dusk the next day that Du Wenruo, covered in dust, caught up with Li Ke, who had the priority to have a picnic.
"King of Shu, you…"
Du Wenruo felt wronged. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.
Li Ke smiled.
"So slow."
"I've been here for more than a day. I didn't wait for you to enter the city.“
"I have to say, your carriage is outdated.”
