Chapter 407 As stupid as a pig!
"Is Xia Zhibai so powerful?" Li Qi was a little stunned.
Li Shanchang did not explain.
He raised his head, looked at the sprouting peach tree, and said calmly: "In the recent period, please calm down for a while, don't move around, and don't have too much contact with people outside. The situation is unclear at the moment. If you make the wrong step, you will be in trouble." It’s broken into pieces.”
Li Qi nodded quickly and said: "Don't worry, father, the child will remember it."
Li Shanchang shook his head.
He held his hands and returned to the study.
Li Qi hesitated for a moment and then followed into the study.
Li Qi whispered: "Father, when I came back, I heard something. Xia Zhibai often sent messages by sea, which made many local officials very angry. The imperial court originally intended to ban the sea. , and by doing this, the forbidden sea exists in name only.”
"And in order to maintain this sea route, local officials have spent a lot of effort and financial resources."
"Some officials in the south just want their children to send a message to their father, asking if they can ask his father to say a few words to His Majesty. Don't let Xia Zhibai do things here and there, not only wasting people and money, but also disturbing the local officials. ”
"Sea route?" Li Shanchang frowned.
Li Qi nodded.
Li Shanchang looked at Li Qi closely. Li Qi lowered his head, fearing that Li Shanchang would see something, and quickly explained: "Father, I did not accept any benefits, but you also know, because of your 'reminder', father, Many people in the south have lost a lot of money. Now they have requests, and it’s really hard for them to refuse.”
"After all, this is not a big deal."
"Just a casual remark."
Li Shanchang did not comment and said in a cold voice: "A smooth sentence? If it was really a casual sentence, they would have submitted the letter themselves. How could they ask me to tell His Majesty through your words? This clearly shows that there is something wrong in their hearts!"
< br>
Li Qi was stunned and said uncertainly: "This shouldn't be the case, right?"
"What else can the sea route do? Aren't there still Japanese pirates overseas? This is also to prevent Japanese pirates."
Li Qi explained.
Li Shanchang was not moved. He said in a deep voice: "The imperial court did not want to have contact with Japanese pirates when they banned the sea. However, local officials may not have the same intention when they banned the sea. What they are worried about is that Xia Zhibai will cause trouble. The sea route was unstable, and I saw some things on the sea that I shouldn’t have seen.”
Li Qi's expression suddenly changed.
He said uneasily: "Father, is this impossible?"
"Are local officials so bold?"
Li Shanchang snorted coldly. Looking at the shocked Li Qi, he also hated iron and said: "They don't have the courage? Why don't they dare to do it? If local officials don't dare, what kind of empty seal will there be in the world?" The Guo Huan case? Isn’t it because the local officials are so bold?”
"You don't need to mention this again."
"I won't agree, and it's impossible to agree."
"Do these local officials really think that the officials of the imperial court are fools? Do they really think that Xia Zhibai is a fool? Doesn't Xia Zhibai know that Yuhang can travel faster by water or land than by sea? The reason why he wants to build a sea route is On purpose.”
"They want to roast your father and me on the fire!"
"Once your Majesty feels that I have secretly colluded with them, and if something is really found out, your father and I will die without knowing how. How dare you agree to such an obvious stupid thing?" Li Shanchang glared at Li Qi.
Li Qi's face turned pale with fright, and he said uneasily: "Father, the child really doesn't know this."
"If the kid knew that these bullies had this idea, there would be no way he would agree to it. Father, you must believe in the kid."
Li Shanchang flicked his sleeves and said: "Okay, don't mention this matter again. Don't let anyone talk about it. Just pretend it never happened. If you take any benefits from others, pay them back as soon as possible." Since Xia Zhibai is targeting him, it is very likely that His Majesty has noticed it. "The Jin Yiwei is in the south right now. Don't you think that the Jin Yiwei is going south for a spring outing?"
Li Qi quickly said: "My child understands."
"The child will never let this matter affect his father."
Li Shanchang sighed and said: "You are tired after a long journey. Go down and rest first. Recently, you just stay at home. You are not allowed to go anywhere, and don't go to see other people. The affairs of the court, It’s enough to bother me.”
"You still won't stop."
"Do you really want to piss me off to death?"
Li Qi lowered his head nonchalantly, not daring to take a breath.
He bowed his hands towards Li Shanchang and withdrew respectfully.
Li Shanchang sat on the chair, feeling extremely irritable. The affairs of the court had already made him uneasy, but Li Qi still caused trouble for him everywhere. Moreover, he did not believe Li Qi's words at all. For someone as big as Li Qi to go to the south, How could the court not know?
It is even very possible that what Li Qi did in the south and who he met were all found out by the court.
If Li Qi just went to finish things off, he wouldn't have anything to worry about. But in the end, Li Qi went to get involved in some sea route. Isn't this asking for death?
Do you really think that Your Majesty can no longer lift the sword?
Do you really think that Your Majesty does not dare to touch your own family?
Before, Xia Zhibai reminded himself that he could only be 'Sima Yi' or 'Li Si' at the moment. He was actually a little dissatisfied. But now that he saw a fool like Li Qi, he felt more and more that his future was not good. No matter how careful he was, he would not be able to accept it. I can't guarantee that these idiots won't cause trouble for themselves.
Li Shanchang was also a little annoyed.
He prides himself on being wise and resourceful, so why are all his sons so stupid?
Others have placed fire pits there, but they still insist on jumping into them, for fear that they will not be able to drag themselves out.
"Idiot."
"I, Li Shanchang, have been famous all my life. Why did I give birth to such a stupid son?" Li Shanchang looked up to the sky and screamed, his eyes full of grief, anger and unwillingness. Unfortunately, in the end, all the unwillingness turned into a long sigh.
Whether you are unwilling or angry.
What can he do? Or I can only grit my teeth and accept it.
After all, he is his biological son, so he can't just ignore him.
But as a result, the room left for him is getting smaller and smaller. Li Shanchang even thinks pessimistically that he may be led by Xia Zhibai in the future, because now Xia Zhibai is obviously the same as His Majesty. On one road.
Li Shanchang lowered his head, looking a little lonely.
He sat on the chair, put his hands on the handles of the chair, and was silent for a long time.
During the period when Li Shanchang remained silent, the matter of erecting monuments for the soldiers who participated in the battles at the major battles of the Ming Dynasty was finally settled. No matter how many civil servants in the DPRK and China objected and put forward their opinions, they could not change Zhu Yuanzhang's decision. thought.
With the issuance of appropriations from the imperial court, everything began to proceed in an orderly manner.
It is rare for generals to be united.
One after another, some people sent their own children to supervise.
As the construction progressed, there was finally no objection to the matter.
