Chapter 655 Inheritance of the Li Family
Li Gu was in a very good mood. He enjoyed the service of his son Li Ji. In the huge iron pot, hot water was rolling and white steam was filled with white steam. Li Ji's face turned red by the smoke. He carried the wooden barrel and panted, poured the hot water into the wooden barrel. Then if the water line reached about 70% of the time, the temperature was finally almost the same.
He helped his father with his own hands and slowly entered the barrel.
The hot water slightly higher than the body temperature made Li Gu feel the long-lost warmth, which was really comfortable!
Li Ji slowly wiped his father with a soft towel. He was very careful not to miss every inch of his skin, and he had to wipe it clean without any dust.
Li Gu closed his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep. After a long time, Li Gu opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, "No need to worry, your father will not be cleaned in this life!"
Li Ji paused for a moment, but he didn't say anything, but his hands became even harder, making Li Gu curse, "Boy, do you want to rub your father to death?"
Li Ji treated his father's complaints. He just tried his best to wipe his father clean, and his skin turned pink, like half-cooked prawns.
Li Gu really had no strength, so he could only close his eyes and let his trouble.
After taking a shower, Li Ji gasped and stopped. He raised his head, and his eyes were filled with deep questions... "Dad!"
Li Gu rolled his eyelids and said, "I'm finally willing to ask questions. Hurry up, your father has not had much time."
A word made Li Ji’s eyes turn red and he almost burst into tears.
"Dad, our family is not short of money, why do you have to get so much money?"
This is the biggest question that lingers in Li Ji's mind.
"Why do you need to get so much money?"
Li Gu was confused. At first he just wanted to accumulate a coffin book. Gradually, he hoped to have a fortune passed on to his descendants... But as the money in his hands became more and more money, Li Gu discovered that money was actually power, a kind of power better than an imperial edict.
He smuggled money and made money. After the officials from all over the country got the money, they had to obey him. The country of Bashu was hollowed out by him and embarked on the road to destruction.
In order to curry favor with Li Gu, the wealthy families in Shu not only gave money, but also gave beautiful girls treasures. They tried their best to ask Mr. Li to help take care of him.
If the case did not break out so quickly, after Bashu was included in the Great Zhou territory, Li Gu would have a devoted force in his hands and obey his orders.
With these people helping him, Li Gu's influence in the court will rise sharply, and he can even replace several other prime ministers... These are what Li Gu wants, but if you think about it carefully, it is not what Li Gu wants.
I am old and can I live for a few days and put the delicacies in front of me. Wouldn’t I still eat porridge?
Li Gu was silent for a long time and suddenly sighed, "My son, if I say it was a murderer for my father, do you believe it?"
"Don't believe it!" Li Ji said decisively: "With my father's intelligence, no one can lie to you!"
"Hahaha, you kid is so arrogant to your father! But you forgot a sentence, called Li Ling Zhihu! Your father fell into this word Li!"
At this point, Li Gu had to admit that he wanted to make money, and some people wanted to make a profit. He had only one person, but those people were hundreds of thousands. They were all around Li Gu, using all kinds of means to push Li Gu forward to seek more benefits.
How to describe it?
Jackal!
That's right, these beasts are jackals.
Usually they followed Li Gu, eating delicious food and drinking spicy food, and making a fortune.
When Li Gu falls, he will step on it without hesitation, gloat about it, and then go to find a new master and fight to flatter him!
"Oh, my son, the more this person reaches a high position, the less he can do whatever he wants. To be honest, my father is embezzling those ants! In the past, my father always felt that he was arrogant, but now he figured it out, and the person who lifted the thread was letting the puppet play with me, I am making money for those people!"
Li Gu smiled sadly, full of helplessness.
"Son, remember, Dad is the one who takes it upon himself and cannot blame anyone. Be careful in the officialdom in the future."
"Official world?" Li Ji smiled in silence, "Dad, can the child stay in the official world?"
Li Gu said sternly: "Why can't you! Don't you just have a greedy father? Li Yu or the prince of Southern Tang, so he is also very prosperous! You hear that as a father, whether he is a saint or a champion, they are actually quite insidious and have always liked to see others fighting each other." Li Gu was very disappointed, "In the future, you will not be a wise minister, you can only be an lonely minister! Remember, you must be cruel to others and be cruel to yourself! As long as you are upright, Ye Hua should protect you. Although that kid is not a good person, he at least has a little conscience! It is already rare in the officialdom."
After receiving this evaluation by Li Gu, Ye Hua didn't know whether to cry or laugh...
Li Ji was silent for a while and chuckled, "The child has made my father worry. Dad is right, you should be cruel to himself. I have written a letter and ask His Majesty to exile me to Japan!"
"What?"
Li Gu was shocked and sat upright, "You, what did you say?"
"The child knew he was guilty, his father died, and the child had no face to stay in Dazhou. He asked to bring his tribe members to exile in Japan!"
"You bastard!"
Li Gu swung his hand and slapped Li Ji in the mouth.
In his eyes, Japan is not a country at all, but a barbarian land.
On the Japanese island, livestock are everywhere, men are cut and sold as slaves, while women become slaves. Almost all the big families in the capital have Japanese women.
My son actually wanted to settle in Japan, and his brain was broken!
"There is no way. Your Majesty wants to behead him. I will write a letter and ask Your Majesty to leave all the body for your father!"
Li Gu couldn't believe his ears. This kid was really brainless!
No matter how you die, what is the difference between taking poison and beheading? Even if you cut into pieces, crush your bones and ashes, you will die on your left and right!
It has reached this point, and Li Gu has figured it out long ago.
He is willing to do anything to save his family.
But my son is a big fool, and he actually wants to go to the Japanese island to keep the whole body!
You, you want to be angry as your father!
Li Ji looked up and smiled sadly, "Father, even if the child doesn't leave, can those people let me go? They are thinking of eliminating the roots and eliminating future troubles forever!"
"Dare they?" Li Gu said angrily: "Don't think I'm done. As long as I'm still breathing, I can make them doomed by just a few words! Don't think that my three servants are in vain!"
After Li Gu finished scolding others, he turned around and scolded his son. Li Ji just took it silently. Fortunately, Li Gu was in poor health. After a while, he stopped and kept breathing.
Li Ji patted his father on the back and whispered: "The child knows that he can stay in the Great Zhou, but he doesn't want to... The child wants to atone for his sins!"
"Atonement? What are your sins?" Li Gu said with his eyes wide open.
Li Ji raised his chest and said helplessly: "Dad, Your Majesty said you are the most corrupt official in the ages. Child, Child wants to replace him, dad..." He couldn't continue and tears kept flowing.
Li Gu really wanted to slap him, but he couldn't bear to slap him.
"Silly boy, your father is your father, you are you! Besides, if you go to Japan, you can help your father atone for his sins? I think you are looking for death!"
Li Ji smiled and said, "No, I know, Taifu Chai's fleet goes to Japan every year, and there is no other thing there, but there is a lot of real money and silver. Child wants to open a mine and get the money. Sooner or later, Child will give all 30 million guan to the court. Dad, what do you think? Will Your Majesty take back those four words and make a clear decision to my father!"
"Bah!" Li Gu cursed: "How much money is worth your life? It's worth your life! It's simply not making any progress, and it's not going to be successful!"
Li Gu slapped his son several times, but the more he hit him, the lighter heavier it was, it was no different from dusting.
What a fool!
It’s so easy to make 30 million without power!
Besides, for the father, I have 30 million property, but 90% of them are the income from the father's business... Of course, I can't get the means, but I don't just take money from the treasury.
How can you cleanse the charges by paying back the money?
What's more, you kid didn't get such a big tone? Why don't you just say 100 million! That's more generous!
Li Gu became more and more worried, "Go and bring your father's clothes."
Li Ji ran over obediently and delivered the clothes to Li Gu. Li Gu reached out and touched it for a long time. He took out a booklet. He blew the cover and then stuffed it to Li Ji.
"This is written randomly for my father, and there are many ways to make money. This thing is used in the Great Zhou Dynasty and will be beheaded. But if it is taken to Japan, it won't happen!"
Li Gu grinned bitterly, "I originally thought it would be lost. Since that's the case, you should study hard and don't let your father's first corrupt official's sign be ruined! Do something like that!"
Li Gu was obviously in a good mood and actually joked about himself. He took a shower and changed his clothes, and was completely brand new from the inside out.
Li Gu was satisfied, "I can finally die decently!"
That night, Li Gu took the Hedinghong under the cover and died in prison!
A once powerful prime minister and important minister ended his life like this... As Li Gu was imprisoned, he committed suicide. Too many people jumped out to impeach Li Gu and expose his greed. Some even brought up the matter of Li Gu stealing embroidery needles when he was a child!
"Grandma, Li Gu has never learned the Sunflower Book, why do you want to embroider a needle?"
Li Si was so angry that he cursed that Li Gu was ugly, but these people were ten thousand times ugly!
They shouted that they would attack Li Ji and cause trouble for his family. Ye Hua called Li Gu's two sons, Li Ji and Li Gong.
Ye Hua held Li Gu's booklet in his hand. This was found by Li Ji who came out of prison that day and was searched by the jailer.
Ye Hua returned it to Li Ji again. After he expanded it, he found that there were many more annotations in it, all of which were written by Ye Hua!
