Li Xian smiled.
He ascended the city tower.
He had gotten what he wanted on this trip back to the capital.
The Imperial Emperor wanted to use him to solve the food shortage in Guanzhong.
This was what he did in the old city, which made Wu Zetian feel that he had value.
This was exactly what he wanted!
That day, he caused a ruckus in the palace.
It was definitely not enough to protect his life.
It was just a chess piece to escape.
The old city's diversion of water into the city, especially the transformation of the fields, was his second move.
He was ordered to enter the palace.
This undoubtedly proved that he had won.
After that, he was truly much safer.
At the very least, as long as he was not caught by others, as long as he still had value.
Wu Zetian believed that he was basically safe until he could control his saber.
He did not expect that this step would be realized so quickly.
Presumably, it had something to do with him intentionally provoking the Imperial Emperor to go to Luoyang to eat steamed buns, as well as the ministers kneeling on the city walls.
'You use me as a blade, but so do I.'
'You are conceited and not afraid of my backlash, but I am also not afraid of you breaking your blade one day!'
"Let's wait and see!"
Li Xian smiled in his heart, and the smile on his lips gradually faded.
The sound of footsteps attracted the attention of the officials kneeling on the city wall.
Everyone turned around and saw Li Xian walking over with a smile on his face.
The faces of Wu Chengsi, Wu Sansi, and the other members of the Wu Corporation instantly darkened.
Di Renjie and the others looked at each other in surprise.
They knew that Li Xian had entered the city from the east gate to meet the saint.
It ended so quickly?
It seemed that he had not been punished?
The smile on Li Xian's face caused everyone to be puzzled.
Li Xian cupped his hands." My lords, why are you all kneeling here? It's been hard for me to find you."”
"Li Xian, you have to know that you're only a small county magistrate now!”Wu Sansi reminded coldly.
Li Xian smiled." I'm just a small county magistrate. What can you do to me?”
"Don't tell me you don't understand the reason why Imperial Grandmother made you kneel here?”
"You want to sit on the throne, but you're not even willing to give up a small piece of land.”
"With just you bunch of country dogs, you dare to dream of conquering the Li Consortium?”
"Ridiculous!"
"I have come to meet all of you here today to tell you.”
"The waterwheel is my invention. If you use my invention without permission, I, Li Xian, will definitely come to visit you with my sword!”
"Of course, if you're willing to pay three taels of silver for each waterwheel, that's another matter.”
"Someone will send my declaration to your residences later.”
"I had no choice. After being demoted to a commoner, I was very short of money. For money, I could give up my life and face.”
"I hope that everyone can save some face and not let me pay a visit.”
"Farewell, everyone!"
……
The ministers looked at Li Xian, who had turned around and left, in astonishment.
He was too shameless!
Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi looked at each other with dark faces.
An imperceptible cold smile appeared on his lips.
……
Great Ming Palace.
Wu Zetian was looking at his son Li Dan's secret letter and shook his head in disappointment.
"Your Majesty, after Li Xian left the palace, he went to the eastern city.”
Zhang Yizhi hurriedly walked in and relayed what Li Xian said in the East City to Wu Zetian.
"Your Majesty, Li Xian is too presumptuous…"
Without waiting for Zhang Yizhi to finish, Wu Zetian's eyes swept over coldly.
Zhang Yizhi was so frightened that his voice stopped abruptly. He prostrated on the ground with a plop, his face pale as he kowtowed continuously.
"The most important thing is to be able to find your own position.”Wu Zetian said lightly.
"I know, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong.”Zhang Yizhi's voice trembled as he kept kowtowing.
"Inform them that they don't have to kneel."”
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll go now." Zhang Yizhi hurriedly replied and left in a panic.
"He went out of the palace to anger the officials and stood on the opposite side of the officials.”Wu Zetian muttered to herself.
She did not expect that Li Xian not only understood what she wanted him to do.
He even looked so far ahead and guessed her thoughts!
"If he doesn't hate the Wu Clan a little, why not hand over the empire to him?”Wu Zetian shook her head.
Because of Li Xian's hatred for the Wu Clan, she would never let the throne fall into Li Xian's hands.
Even when Li Xian lost his value, she would not let him live, even if he was her grandfather or grandson.
The more capable Li Xian was, the more he couldn't be left alive!
She had to consider the future of the Li and Wu families after the Spring and Autumn Period.
He could not decide who to make the heir apparent.
This was the reason.
She had to consider who could shoulder the country and who was tolerant.
……
"Big brother."
Not long after leaving the city, Li Xian met Li Longfan who was waiting for him.
After seeing Li Ke, he sneered and said,"We really have a kind father!"
His father, Li Dan, was cold and heartless to his elder brother.
Li Longfan felt a chill in his heart.
How could father treat big brother like this?
Would he, who had been thrown out to do dirty things, really end up well in the future?
Would such a father protect him in the future?
Li Xian looked at his younger brother's red eyes and knew that he must have cried.
He patted Li Longfan's shoulder.
"That's why we have to work hard to change and not live in the way we hate.”
"Instead of being angry and unwilling, it's better to work hard.”
"Believe me, as long as we work hard, everything will change.”
"In the future, no one will be able to put knives and axes on our necks!”
"No one can treat us as chess pieces!”
"Yes." Li Longfan nodded." I'll listen to Big Brother!”
Li Xian smiled and glanced behind him without batting an eyelid.
"Go back to the old city first. Big Brother still has some things to deal with."”
"What is it? I'll go with Big Brother."
Li Xian's expression instantly turned cold." Do you still remember our agreement? I won't tell you any secrets that I can't tell you, and you don't have to ask.”
Li Longfan was a little afraid and quickly agreed,"Big brother, I won't ask anymore. I'll go back first.”
"Leave me your sword."
Li Longfan didn't dare to ask any more questions. After taking off his sword, he whipped out his horse and left.
After Li Longfan left for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Li Xian looked behind him again.
Five young men dressed in brocade clothes, who looked like the children of wealthy families, stopped hiding and looked over.
Ever since he left the city, these five people had been following him.
That was why he sent Long Fan away.
Someone finally couldn't take it anymore and was going to use despicable methods!
He squeezed his sleeve.
Drive!
Then, he whipped his horse and galloped away.
"Chase!"
The five men in embroidered clothes did not have the temperament of a rich family at all. Instead, they revealed a ferocious expression and urged their horses to chase after them.
