At noon, Li Yue stayed at Li Xin's house and had dinner before leaving.

He also understood in his heart that Li Xin would not become an obstacle to him, but on the contrary, would become his assistance.

This is enough.

His last words had already made his position clear.

Li Xin, a reformed county boy, will be sent out to serve as a border official next spring. Will he be needed for work?

The implication is that at that time, Li Yue had already ascended the throne.

Such words can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.

Therefore, my steps became much lighter when I came out.

As for his father's personal expedition, Li Xin said he didn't know much about it, and he didn't ask any more questions.

Li Xin has become powerful, and most of the old officials of the East Palace are working with him.

Li Yue saw it clearly.

Although Li Xin is no longer the prince, he is still the son of his father.

Although he is the eldest brother, he is still young. No matter who he is in the future, Li Xin will not be able to get around him.

Whether to use him or abandon him in the future is something that needs to be considered.

"King Yue, where should we go next?" Liu Rujian asked.

"It will be New Year's Eve next year. Go back and have a good rest. Tomorrow we will go to the imperial mausoleum to worship our ancestors!" Li Yue did not dare to visit too many people. There were not many up-and-coming civil servants of the younger generation.

However, most of the younger generation of generals are people around him.

He was also one of the seven dandies in the capital back then, and now, they all have become his fans.

As for the veteran, let alone Dou Xuanling, he owed him a favor.

Prince Cheng, Prince Heng, Yu Boshi, Du Jingming, and Xu Shichang were all pioneers of the new law.

All the seventy-two yamen in Beijing have shares in the racecourse, and he also has shares.

Li Yue clenched his fists, knowing that the situation had become a success.

Even Li Xin back then was not as powerful as he is now.

But he cannot be too high-profile. The more so, the more he must be low-key and cautious.

If you don't touch the power in your hands if you can, you can safely put yourself in a position where you won't be underestimated or looked down upon by others.

It won't make the father feel old, and it won't make the ministers feel too flamboyant.

This is enough.

The next day, the 12th year of Longjing, the 30th day of the year.

Li Yue took two people, fifteen or sixteen, to the imperial mausoleum to worship their ancestors.

He wore complicated services and performed various sacrifices.

Li Xian just felt bored. He was an agricultural student and didn't believe in this. If he had the time to pray to heaven and earth, he might as well fertilize and drive away insects.

Li Xuan's brain was also offline and his eyes were dull. He had been annoyed by this kind of confession since he was a child, so he ran away while no one was paying attention to the two of them.

"Hey, two ancestors, where are you going?"

"Come back and worship your ancestors!"

Several eunuchs were chasing after them, but these two boys were running as fast as monkeys running around.

"It's so boring, it's a waste of my time to draw pictures!" After the two ran away, they couldn't help but gasp when they saw that no one was chasing them.

Li Xian was a little nervous, "Sixteenth Brother, this is an ancestor worship, isn't it too ostentatious?"

"My ancestors won't blame me if Bage is here." Li Xuan saw that he was a little scared and said quickly: "Why are you so cowardly? I even said I would give you a hand-cranked airplane model, the kind that can fly!"

"Really?"

Li Xian loved airplane models. Although Li Xuan always asked him to take the blame every time he gave him a model airplane, he was used to it.

"Let's go!" The two brothers left arm in arm, "Since the emperor doesn't have our turn, we can just do what we like.

"What if I have a chance?" Li Xian scratched his head.

"You have a chance to be stupid. What's the relationship between Bage and my brother-in-law? What's the relationship between me and my brother-in-law? Forget about Bage, you can't even handle me. You have a chance to be stupid. Do you have anything to do with it?" Li Xuan

Strike.

Li Xian sighed, "Forget it, don't think about it so much, I'd better go back and study new fertilizers!"

"That's right." Li Xuan patted his shoulder, "What's the good thing about being an emperor? From now on, staying in the palace every day and facing those women will be very annoying."

If at this time, Li Yue had been busy for a whole hour before he was done, the eunuch came to report that the two had escaped. Li Yue waved his hand, "Forget it, they are still young. If my father asks about them when I go back, just say they are

I held on until the end, do you understand?"

"Yes, His Highness the King of Yue!"

Li Yue took off his cumbersome clothes and put on a down jacket, which made him feel much more comfortable.

He sent the eunuch away and then took the basket from Liu Rujian's hand, which contained some food.

Then we came to the house of the eunuch guarding the mausoleum.

There is a courtyard here, and the house is extremely small and dilapidated.

Sitting on a wheelchair in the courtyard was a mute eunuch with deformed hands and feet.

On a very cold day, he was wearing very thin clothes and he was shivering from the cold.

When the eunuch in the courtyard saw Li Yue, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said, "Slave, please see His Highness the King of Yue!"

Li Yue waved his hand, "Everyone get out!"

The eunuchs did not dare to say anything and left the courtyard as if they were running away.

Li Yue put the basket on the stone table aside, took the cloak from Liu Rujian's hand, gave the cloak to the ugly eunuch with a bad face, and covered it tightly, "Are you feeling better?"

The rotten-faced eunuch seemed a little numb, and for a moment he didn't even know anyone was approaching him.

After Li Yue spoke, his dull eyes started to move.

That familiar voice shocked him a little.

Especially when his eyes glanced at Li Yue, he became excited.

He opened his mouth and tried hard to make a sound, but his tongue was completely broken, and his throat was completely damaged with a wooden stick a few years ago.

He made a sound of "drinking" in his throat, but no one knew what he was talking about.

Even, due to excitement, there was a burst of warmth under his body, which is a common thing.

Those eunuchs would beat him every now and then to vent their anger, and he would do this every time after the beating.

He couldn't move, couldn't speak, and even biting his tongue to commit suicide became a luxury.

He thought about going on a hunger strike, but every time he went on a hunger strike, they would use a funnel to stuff his throat and pour the porridge into his stomach.

They didn't let him live well, and they didn't let him die.

The most ridiculous thing is that in this situation, he did not lose weight, but became as fat as before.

The wheelchair under him often made a creaking sound because it could not bear his weight.

Looking at Li Yue, he was so excited that he couldn't help himself. This was the first familiar person he had seen in two or three years!

"It's the New Year today, so I came here to see you." Li Yue sighed, "Watching your own grave by yourself, doesn't it feel good?

If you hadn't done those things that made you forget your ancestors, you wouldn't have ended up like this.

In the end, my father had no choice but to take action.
Chapter completed!
