Seeing the look on his father's face, You Pingchuan suddenly turned ugly and shouted loudly: "Father, Li Xun is making excuses. You can't believe his words easily."

Li Xun had a smile on his face and said nothing.

You Mingyuan said quietly: "What Li Xun said is a truth learned through practical experience. If you can learn it, it will be very helpful to you in the future."

You Pingchuan curled his lips and said disapprovingly: "Everyone can say nice things. Father, you trust people too easily."

"I can make my own judgment on what is right and wrong. There is no need for you to make irresponsible remarks here."

You Mingyuan's face suddenly darkened, he pointed at You Pingchuan and yelled: "Look what you do every day? You don't read books well. All you do is walk around with those bastards and bully the weak.

Your mother is protecting you and hiding the news, thinking that I don’t know about it? Let me tell you, if you fail to pass the imperial examination next year, don’t stay in the capital and embarrass me. Go back to your hometown and study hard. What?

When will I pass the exam and when will I come back?"

You Pingchuan's face suddenly darkened and he smiled bitterly: "Father, I'm still young. If I don't pass the exam next year, I won't pass. There are many opportunities. Don't rush me back to my hometown."

It would be a very shameful thing for a child of a famous family to be driven back to his hometown. You Pingchuan was doing well in their circle of young men. If he was driven back to his hometown, how could he still have the face to meet people even if he returned to the capital?

You Mingyuan said coldly: "Don't think I'm joking with you. If you don't pass the exam next year, just go back to your hometown."

You Pingchuan glanced at his father and said in a low voice: "You were not admitted to Jinshi until you were nearly thirty, so why do you have such high demands on me?"

You Pingchuan's words immediately ignited You Mingyuan's anger.

"The traitor..."

When You Pingchuan saw that his father was really angry, he had no choice but to lower his head and did not dare to talk back.

Li Xun looked on and felt funny in his heart. You Pingchuan was used to showing off, and he didn't pay attention to anyone except You Min. How could he do it today?

At this time, a young man walked in.

"Uncle, the old lady asked Li Xun to go over and play chess with him."

You Mingyuan nodded and said to Li Xun: "It's rare for the old man to like you, so you should accompany him well, and by the way, advise him not to go back in a hurry after his birthday, but to stay longer in the capital.

, let us juniors show more filial piety."

"knew."

Li Xun smiled and walked away. Behind him came the sound of You Mingyuan's lecture again. When he got angry, he couldn't help but raise his foot and kicked You Pingchuan. The strength was not very strong, but You Pingchuan was

Pretending to be in pain, he screamed loudly for mercy.

"Uncle, Pingchuan is still young and his skin is tender. Just talk about it, be careful of hurting someone with your hands."

Li Xun laughed and walked away.

You Mingyuan scolded: "Look, Li Xun is only a few years older than you, how stable he is now? If you continue like this, your life will be ruined."

You Pingchuan looked up, but he could no longer see Li Xun's figure. He could only grit his teeth, listening to his father's nagging, and hating Li Xun in his heart.

Li Xun came to You Yuanfeng's residence. In the yard, You Yuanfeng was sitting there. His hair was all white, but he was in good spirits. He still looked strong. When he saw Li Xun arriving, You Yuanfeng waved to him:

"Dog, come quickly, I'm waiting for you."

On the stone platform, the chessboard has been laid out, and tea and cakes are placed next to it.

Li Xun laughed loudly and said: "Old man, I have spoken before you. You will have no regrets about your moves. It is fair and just. No regrets are allowed."

You Yuanfeng also laughed loudly and said: "How could I do such a worthless thing?"

It's interesting to say that Li Xun's chess skills are very poor, and You Yuanfeng's chess skills are also very poor. A few days ago, the two met for the first time. Li Xun saw You Yuanfeng studying chess skills alone, so he approached him.

They played two games, but unexpectedly, the two of them were matched against each other and would meet a good talent. You Yuanfeng was so happy that he dragged Li Xun to play for three hours, until it got dark, and then he let Li Xun go. A few days later

After getting in touch with Li Xun, You Yuanfeng liked and appreciated Li Xun's unrestrained and carefree personality, and the two became friends forever.

Li Xun had nothing to do here, and Wing King Zhao He was in an extremely depressed mood at the moment.

In the room, Zhao He walked back and forth, his brows furrowed, and he was obviously in a very bad mood.

Zhao Dezhao sat aside, also silent, with a thoughtful look on his face.

The affairs of today's court meeting have been reported back to the palace. In the end, due to the interference of the Right Prime Minister's party and Yang Daosi's advice, the appointment of Wing King Zhao He was not approved.

Zhao Dezhao woke up from his meditation, looked up at Zhao He, and said: "Your Highness, your appointment is only on hold, not exempted. We still have a chance."

Zhao He stopped and said in a deep voice: "I really can't figure it out. Li Xun's military power was taken away. It was a big blow to the King of Qi. It was extremely beneficial to the King of Chu. Why did Yang Daosi say something?

Oppose and help Li Xun?"

Zhao Dezhao shook his head and said softly: "Politics are ever-changing. There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Since Yang Daosi came forward to help Li Xun, he must have his own ideas."

Zhao He sneered and said: "There is only one throne. Helping Li Xun is equivalent to helping King Qi. If King Qi benefits, King Chu will lose. I really can't see what benefits Yang Daosi can get from doing this."

Yang Daosi's action was indeed beyond Zhao He's expectation. In his view, helping Li Xun was equivalent to helping King Qi, and King Qi was obviously the biggest stumbling block for King Chu to become the crown prince.

Zhao Dezhao thought for a while and said: "Your Highness, it is better to let things go in Wuzhou first."

Zhao He glanced at Zhao Dezhao, sat down opposite him, took a sip of tea, and said, "What do you want to say?"

Zhao Dezhao said softly: "Your Highness, we are pressing hard. Regardless of whether Wuzhou's affairs are successful or not, it will be a great disadvantage to the King of Qi. How can they sit still and wait for death? The imperial concubine Li Yi and the King of Qi have been silent for a long time.

Any behavior, as if the gains and losses of Wuzhou have nothing to do with them, this is too unreasonable, there will be monsters when things go wrong, your highness, you must be on guard."

After listening to Zhao Dezhao's words, Zhao He fell into deep thought. After a moment, he looked at Zhao Dezhao and said in a deep voice: "You mean Hedong?"

Zhao Dezhao nodded: "It's possible."

"My foundation in Hedong has been established. Even my father, it will be difficult to remove it for a while. There is nothing to worry about. On the contrary, Wuzhou is very important to me. It will be my biggest support in the future, even if I fail to compete for the throne.

, with Wuzhou, I can also advance and attack, retreat and defend, I will never give up." I want to chat with more like-minded people about "Becoming a Prince in the Empire", follow "Youdu Literature" on WeChat, and talk about life.
