Many people subconsciously thought that it was Li Er's famous saying, "Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat." Actually, it was not!
This sentence first came from the chapter of Xun Zi, Duke Ai. It was Xun Zi narrating a conversation between Confucius and Duke Ai of Lu. At that time, Confucius said, "Qiu Wenzhi, a ruler is a boat; a commoner is a river. Water can carry a boat, but water can also capsize a boat. If a ruler thinks of danger, how can danger not come? "
In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, Wei Zheng wrote in Ten Thoughts of Admonishing Taizong, "Resentment is not great, but it can be feared by people.
Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat. "Wei Zheng also said this. Li Er often used this saying to warn people. After a long time, it became Li Er's" famous saying "!
"Haha! Dai Shaoqing, thank you for taking care of me these past few days! "
After Li Er left, Li Zexuan patted his butt and also left. If he did not leave, was he going to stay here to celebrate the new year?
Under Zhao Si's lead, he left the prison cell. However, he met Dai Zhou outside the prison. He cupped his hands and smiled.
When Dai Zhou saw Li Zexuan come out from inside, he did not look surprised at all. Obviously, he had already guessed that this would be the result.
"Marquis, you're too polite! I won't tell Marquis to come again when you're free! "
It was rare that Dai Zhou actually knew how to joke.
Li Zexuan laughed loudly three times before taking his leave.
Zhao Si reluctantly watched Li Zexuan leave. In his heart, he felt that it was a pity that there would no longer be that kind of gamble where one investment, one hundred times the return.
However, Dai Zhou's next sentence made his eyeballs fall to the ground. Li Zexuan also almost fell to the ground.
"Hey! Marquis! You still haven't paid the previous one thousand coins! "
.....
Yongle Lane, Li Mansion.
In the past, this place was filled with laughter, warmth, and harmony. However, recently, this place suddenly became silent!
The mischievous Lan-er no longer went to play with her friends. She only leaned on the big stone lion outside the mansion and looked at the end of the lane, hoping that someone would come back soon.
Although Madam Li was very worried, she could not show it in front of Ye Guochong and Old Madam Ye. She could only force a smile.
Han Yuxi usually appeared to be very strong on the surface, but only Xiao He and Xiao Xi knew that every night, there would always be faint sobbing sounds coming from the bedroom.
Although Li Jingmo looked calm on the surface, he kept thinking about his son in his heart. He was very irritated!
The servants of the Li Residence felt the heavy atmosphere and worked even harder. Although they were wondering why Li Zexuan hadn't been home for the past few days, no one dared to ask. They could only pray in their hearts that their Young Master would be safe and sound!
Because Li Li Li Er and Li is Li Er, Li Er She......
They were bound together for good or ill!
One day, two days, three days, four days!
This was the fourth day since Lan-er leaned on the stone lion and waited for Li Zexuan to come back. The stone lion was very cold in winter. However, the little girl was wearing layers of cotton clothes. She was like a stupid penguin. She did not feel cold leaning on the stone lion. Instead, she could relieve the tiredness of her feet.
Lan-er, who had been disappointed for three days, did not have much hope today. She stared at the lane for a while. When she still did not see Li Zexuan, she pouted and looked up gloomily to read the magpies in the book.
Magpies were resident birds in China. They would not move to the south to survive the winter. During the winter, they would often feed on a large number of animal carcasses. Sometimes, they would even tail the predators and pick up the leftovers.
Today, on the ginkgo tree in front of the Li Residence, there were four to five magpies chirping noisily. At Lan 'er's age, she was at the age where she liked to play. She watched the magpies frolicking for a while and couldn't help but be engrossed in it. She didn't even notice that someone had walked past her!
"Hehe! It's so cold. Lan-er, why aren't you in the house enjoying the heater? What are you doing out here? "
A familiar voice, a familiar loving tone. Lan-er was stunned. She looked in front and saw Li Zexuan standing in front of her with a smile.
Surprise!
Excitement!
Grievance!
"Wow! Brother! You're back! Sob sob! Brother, you're finally back! Lan-er missed you so much! "
Lan 'er rushed forward and hugged Li Zexuan tightly. She pressed her face against the latter's stomach, laughing and crying at the same time.
"Yo! Isn't this the Duke of Yong 'an? I haven't seen him for a few days! "
"Yeah! It seems that ever since the Cui family fell, the Duke of Yong 'an has not appeared in Yongle lane! "
"Maybe the Duke of Yong 'an went to do something else!"
A few people in Yongle lane happened to pass by. When they saw Li Zexuan, they could not help but be surprised. They discussed in private.
Seeing this, Li Zexuan quickly patted Lan-er's little head and said,
"Hehe! Brother misses Lan-er too! Let's go! Let's talk at home! "
"Mm! Ugh! Brother, how many days has it been since you last bathed? You stink! "
Lan-er suddenly covered her nose and screamed as she retreated far away.
Li Zexuan's face darkened. He almost vomited blood.
When he entered the residence, his father, mother, maternal grandfather, maternal grandmother, and his own daughter-in-law naturally came forward to express their condolences one by one. Even Ye Fashan, a taciturn person, came forward to say, "Cousin is fine now."
This child had been helping out at the Warm Tang Foundation for a while. Later, when Li Chengqian sent some people from the Eastern Palace over, Ye Fashan saw that there was no shortage of manpower and returned.
"Hehe! Today is a joyous occasion. Wang Zhong, tell the kitchen to prepare a big banquet. Everyone in the residence will have good meat and good wine at noon! "
The simplest way to express happiness was to share it with others. Li Jingmo ordered simply.
"Yes! Old Master! "
Wang Zhong relayed the news with a smile. Instantly, the servants were all jubilant. Not only because there was good wine and good meat, but more importantly, because their backbone had returned. That joyous and warm Li Residence had also returned!
… … …
The news that Li Zexuan had personally come to the Supreme Court's prison and 'pardoned' Li Zexuan quickly spread through the upper 'circles' of Chang 'an.
This time, when Li Zexuan had voluntarily gone to prison, everyone in the imperial court had remained silent. This was because the problem of the people's hearts was too big. If it was not handled properly, it would bring trouble to oneself. Those who wanted to impeach Li Zexuan saw that the thousand-year-old families had fallen under Li Zexuan's feet, and a layer of sweat had formed on their backs. Who would dare to impeach Li Zexuan?
Troll Wei was not afraid of Li Zexuan's revenge. However, most of Li Zexuan's actions were commendable. He even secretly supported Li Zexuan in his heart to get rid of the Cui family. Why would he impeach Li Zexuan?
As for the officials close to Li Zexuan, they all knew that the more coldly this matter was handled, the better it would be for Li Zexuan. Therefore, they did not prematurely plead for leniency!
However, after only three days, Li Zexuan had personally come to the prison cell and released Li Zexuan. This greatly exceeded everyone's expectations! At the same time, Li Zexuan's imperial favor had once again refreshed everyone's understanding of him!
