Li Longfan revealed a conflicted expression.
After a long while, she said with a trembling voice,"Big Brother, I definitely won't do anything to you, but…but I'm afraid!"”
"I'm truly afraid. The Sage Emperor has killed far too many of our Li Imperial Family over the years.”
"Royal Father thought that I hadn't thought it through. In fact, after meeting royal grandmother that day, I slowly understood.”
" Whoever kills Big Brother, Imperial Grandmother might even kill the donkey after it's done grinding for the sake of the hearts of the kings of the An Imperial Family…Father, he…he…"
……
As Li Longfan spoke, he held his head and squatted down, sobbing.
Li Xian looked at his brother beside him.
His fourth brother, Long Fan, was only twelve years old.
The fear that the Sage Emperor Wu Zetian had caused him.
The use and abandonment of their loving father.
Clearly, it had already exceeded Long Fan's mental endurance.
"Useless!"
Li Xian immediately kicked him." From today onwards, you will follow the Holy Emperor's request and record my every word and action, no matter how big or small, and give it to him.”
Li Longfan raised his head and shook his head with teary eyes.
"If you don't do it, then no one else will?" Li Xian sneered.”
"I'm working under her nose. What can I hide from her?”
"From today onwards, Big Brother's true thoughts and secrets will not be revealed to you.”
"You only need to remember that I'm doing this for our survival and for the glory of the Great Tang!”
"She didn't ask you to go against me. Just do what I told you to do.”
"If big brother really comes to the end of his rope and fails, you can chop off big brother's head and give it to her.”
"If Eldest Brother was really afraid of death, he wouldn't have escaped from the Imperial Residence yesterday.”
Li Longfan wiped his tears with his sleeve and nodded firmly.""Big brother, I'll listen to you, but I definitely won't do anything to you!”
"I know that Big Brother might not believe me now.”
"I'll prove it to Big Brother!"
Li Xian could tell from the determined look in this young man's eyes that he was speaking the truth.
As for what would happen in the future, no one could say for sure. After all, people would change. At the same time, some things would never change.
He smiled and said," When she really makes up her mind to kill me, if you don't kill her, I won't be able to live either. It's up to you."”
……
That afternoon.
Xue Chongjian and Qiao Junbei came to the government office.
For the first time, Li Xian gathered everyone in the government office.
The bailiffs and horse coachmen were all gathered.
Li Xian observed the crowd.
The petty officials and bailiffs were obviously very uneasy.
Qiao Junbei looked uneasy.
Ever since they met, the hostility in Xue Chongjian's eyes had never disappeared.
At a certain moment, the corners of Li Xian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile as he slowly looked at Xue Chongjian.
"Aunt asked you to come?"
"Li Xian, you are now a commoner and have no right to call my mother that!”Xue Chongjian reminded coldly.
Li Xian nodded." Li Lingyue sent you?”
"You dare to call my mother by her name? You're courting death!”
Xue Chongjian stood up. Clang! He drew his sword and pointed it at Li Xian.
Li Xian suddenly reached out and pushed.
Bang!
On the table, something covered with a red cloth was pushed into the hall.
The two halves of the head fell to the ground.
Qiao Junbei got up in fright.
The bailiff's face instantly turned pale.
Li Xian looked at Xue Chongjian, whose face was pale and obviously scared. A cold smile hung on his lips as he said,"This is the last chance I'm giving you.”
"Next time, if you dare to draw your sword at me again.”
"I can guarantee that Xue Huaiyi, that bald donkey, is your role model!”
"I'm barefoot. I'm not afraid of death. I can be killed by the Sage Emperor at any time.”
"What about you?"
"Are you sure you have the courage to bet your life with me?”
"You can do nothing from now on, but as long as you dare to secretly trip me up, I won't be merciful!”
"Even if your mother is Li Lingyue, you don't have the right to do so with me!”
"Not to mention you, even your mother, Li Lingyue, is not qualified!”
"I'll count to three. If your sword is still pointed at me, I'll take it as a challenge.”
"Your Highness, please calm down, please calm down." Qiao Junbei hurriedly spoke, pressing Xue Chongjian's arm and putting the sword back into its sheath.
Li Xian glanced at Qiao Junbei, then at the petty officials and bailiffs in Chang 'an Old City.
"What I said to Xue Chongjian is also valid for all of you.”
"I don't care who you are loyal to.”
"If you work under me, you must follow my rules!”
"You must do everything I ask you to do.”
"Otherwise, if I kill Xue Huaiyi and Xue Chongjian, I will kill you all!”
"Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
"Sir, I understand!"
……
A group of yamen officials hurriedly accepted the order with trembling voices.
"Of course, similarly, no matter who you are loyal to, as long as you do a good job, your salary will not be small. I will also think of ways to reward and subsidize you.”
"I came to Chang 'an City with only one purpose, and that is to restore the glory of the Tang Empire!”
"Start from here."
"When I am in charge, there is only one thing I need to do.”
"If the commoners have any difficulties, the government will take the initiative to help them solve these difficulties.”
"You should know the reason why the Sui Dynasty moved the capital and built Daxing City.”
"It's caused by the filth of life, causing the underground water and wells in the old city to be undrinkable.”
"Until now, the people in the city can only go out of the city to get water.”
"This is the most pressing problem that has troubled the people of the old city. We will start by solving this problem.”
“……”
Walking on this path of being a man of his own, Li Xian understood that he could only rely on the people.
He wanted the people to support him.
They had to solve the difficulties of the people.
After coming to the old city yesterday and thinking about it for a night, he decided to start with the water problem in the old city.
If he could solve this problem, he would be able to win the hearts of tens of thousands of people in the old city.
If he did other things, it would be easier for him to gain the support and trust of the people.
Whether or not the first fire could burn well was very important.
……
Less than an hour after Li Xian finished, the secret letter appeared on the desk of the royal study.
"Your Majesty, the contents of the five secret scrolls are the same.”Zhang Yizhi and his brother said after comparing.
Then, he handed one of them to Wu Zetian.
After Wu Zetian saw it, she smiled," The first fire is to solve the old city's drinking water problem. He's quite arrogant. Continue to watch and see what he does."”
"Send the memorial to the Ministry of Central Affairs and give it to the prime ministers. After they read it, pass it to the various departments for circulation!”
"Save them the trouble of sending people to inquire."
Wu Zetian knew that these people were also staring at the old city.
The new book is asking for support.
