Chang 'an City, East Market.
As the last curved plough was sold, there was a commotion outside the Strange Taste Pavilion.
"That's it? I haven't bought it yet. "
"Who asked you to come so late? Niu Dahai, you should have come earlier. Those who came early today have already bought the curved plough. "
"I guess Old Niu woke up late because he was sleeping with his wife at home? Haha! "A man beside him said in a wretched manner.
Niu Dahai's face turned red. He pushed the man and said angrily,
"Bullsh * t, I went to sell eggs just now. I thought only people from our village would buy the curved plough, so I didn't rush to buy it. But now it seems that many people here are from other villages. How did they know about Young Master's curved plough? "
"Sigh, I'm also puzzled. I saw a few people from Plum Village and Liujia Village just now. I asked them where they got the news from, but they didn't want to tell me."
"It must have been someone from our village who leaked it out. What a traitor. If I, Old Ox, knew who leaked it out, I would definitely beat him up."
Niu Dahai waved his fists and said angrily.
At the side, Han Xiaodong shrank his neck and quickly slipped away with his tail between his legs.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
At this time, a burly general in full armor and a group of soldiers squeezed into the crowd. Beside the general was a servant.
"Young Master, Young Master, His Majesty sent someone to bring you into the palace!"
San Bao shouted as she entered the Strange Taste Pavilion.
Today, the young general brought people to the Li Mansion to find Li Zexuan. Li Jingmo and Mrs. Li were shocked. They quickly asked the general if their son had caused any trouble. The general shook his head and explained, "His Majesty didn't punish him.
"His Majesty is not here to condemn anyone. He just has something to ask of your son. Would Master Li please ask your son to come out and follow me into the palace?"
Li Jingmo and Mrs. Li were relieved. They let San Bao bring them to the Strange Taste Pavilion.
Li Zexuan was chatting with Sun Huaiyuan in the Strange Taste Pavilion. He found that Sun Huaiyuan's style of conversation was quite good. He wanted to chat with him. At this moment, he heard San Bao shouting outside that Li Zexuan wanted him to enter the palace. Li Zexuan subconsciously clamped his legs together to protect his balls. He did not want to enter the palace and become a eunuch.
Sun Huaiyuan was quite knowledgeable. He looked at Li Zexuan and said, "Young Master, it should be someone from the palace. You'd better go out and have a look!"
Li Zexuan had no choice but to walk out of the Strange Interest Pavilion. Along the way, he glared at San Bao, who didn't know how to speak.
"Are you Li Zexuan, Young Master Li?" The young general stepped forward and asked.
Li Zexuan saw that this man was tall and burly. His posture was tall and straight, and his lower body was steady. He had an imposing appearance. He was dressed in Mingguang Armor. When the sun shone on him, he almost blinded Li Zexuan's titanium alloy eyes. This man's Kung Fu was probably not weak.
Li Zexuan quickly cupped his hands and said, "That's me. How should I address you, General?"
"I am Dugu Mou. Since you are Li Zexuan, please follow me to the palace to have an audience with His Majesty."
Dugu Mou? Li Zexuan was a little familiar with this name, but he couldn't recall it. However, people with the surname Dugu were usually more powerful. Therefore, he learned from the TV dramas in his previous life. He quickly took out a golden biscuit from his sleeve and stuffed it into Dugu Mou's hand.
He smiled and said, "General Dugu, may I ask why His Majesty is looking for me?"
Dugu Mou's expression changed. He quickly returned the golden biscuit and said coldly, "Don't ask too much. Follow me to the palace."
Alright, it seemed like this man wasn't greedy. Li Zexuan had no choice but to follow Dugu Mou to the palace with a worried heart.
At this moment, a loud shout was heard.
"Hold on, General. What crime did our Young Master commit? Why are you arresting him?"
Niu Dahai stopped Dugu Mou and asked loudly.
"Yes, you can't leave. Our Young Master didn't commit any crime."
"Let go of our Young Master!"
.....
When the surrounding Han Family Manor's villagers heard Dugu Mou's cold words, they thought that he had brought people to arrest Li Zexuan. They all came out to stop him.
Although commoners were afraid of officials, at this time, the villagers of the Han Family Manor still stood out bravely. Young Master had shown great kindness to their Han Family Manor. Young Master could show kindness without asking for repayment, but they couldn't be ungrateful. Otherwise, they would be criticized behind their backs by the villagers.
Dugu Mou's expression changed drastically when he saw the villagers rushing over. He pulled out the saber at his waist and shouted,
"His Majesty has ordered to summon Li Zexuan. Are you trying to rebel by obstructing me?"
Li Zexuan hurriedly pulled Dugu Mou back and said anxiously, "General Dugu, please hold on.
"General Dugu, please wait. These villagers don't have that intention. Please allow me to speak with them."
Li Zexuan was truly moved by the villagers' actions. In this feudal era where imperial power reigned supreme, they dared to stand up for him. As for him, he had only done something insignificant for them.
What a simple and honest people. Li Zexuan naturally didn't want to see them get hurt because of him.
Dugu Mou put away his saber and shouted, "Hurry up. His Majesty and the ministers are waiting."
Li Zexuan nodded and walked towards the villagers, shouting, "Fellow villagers, His Majesty isn't here to punish me. He just summoned me for something. Uncles, please go home quickly!"
Niu Dahai shouted, "Young Master, is it really okay? If His Majesty really wants to punish you, I, Old Niu, will kneel in front of the palace gates and plead for Young Master's innocence. I believe that His Majesty wouldn't wrong a good person like Young Master. "
"I want to go too!"
"Me too."
A bunch of voices echoed from the side.
Li Zexuan said helplessly, "Uncle Niu, it's really okay. Hurry up and bring the villagers back to the village."
After calming everyone down, Li Zexuan followed Dugu Mou to the palace.
.....
After passing through the Vermilion Bird Gate and entering the palace, Li Zexuan looked around curiously.
In his previous life, he had been to the Forbidden City in Beijing a few times. However, he had never been to the ancient Chang 'an Imperial Palace in Xi' an. Furthermore, even if he went, he wouldn't be able to see it. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, when Zhu Wen attacked Chang 'an, he burned the entire city to the ground.
Although the later generations repaired it, it was definitely impossible to restore it to its original state.
As such, it was really not easy for Li Zexuan to see the original Tang Dynasty Imperial Palace.
Although Li Zexuan didn't know why Li Er had called him here, it was useless to worry about such things. It was better to look at the scenery of the palace. Furthermore, if Li Er really wanted to find trouble with him, the person who came would definitely not be Dugu Mou, but the officials from the Supreme Court.
After a while, Dugu Mou brought Li Zexuan to the outside of Taiji Palace.
Taiji Palace was built on top of thirty-six stone steps. Standing at the bottom of the steps, one could only see the upturned eaves. The auspicious beasts on the eaves, Xiezhi, and Xiezhi, looked majestic under the faint sunlight. The pointed eaves that almost pierced through the clear sky were undoubtedly the embodiment of the supreme imperial power.
"Wait here for a while, I will go in to report. When you go in later, pay attention to your etiquette. Don't forget what I just taught you. "
Dugu Mou instructed.
"Thank you, General Dugu, I will pay attention." Li Zexuan cupped his hands in thanks.
Along the way, other than teaching Li Zexuan about the palace etiquette, Dugu Mou didn't say anything else.
Li Zexuan felt that Dugu Mou was angry about the matter of the golden pancake. In his heart, he thought that he was indeed too rash. Not everyone loved money. The television dramas in his previous life had killed people.
Dugu Mou nodded and went in to report.
.....
A quarter of an hour ago, in Taiji Palace.
Li Er saw Dugu Mou leaving and looked at Cheng Yaojin. He asked with deep meaning:
"Zhijie, if I remember correctly, didn't you just say that your family is also preparing to buy tens of thousands of chicken seedlings?"
Cheng Yaojin stepped forward and answered: "Your Majesty, I am indeed planning to buy tens of thousands of chicken seedlings."
Li Er smiled and asked curiously: "Oh? Zhijie, why are you and Li Zexuan buying so many chicken seedlings? "
Qin Shubao, Niu Jinda, and the other generals also looked at Cheng Yaojin curiously.
Cheng Yaojin scratched his head and pretended to be ignorant:
"Your Majesty, I saw that my family's farmers were poor, so I gave them chicken seedlings for free and asked them to help raise the chickens. The eggs that they usually lay can be used to supplement their household expenses."
Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and the other civil officials looked at Cheng Yaojin in disbelief. Li Er also looked at Cheng Yaojin suspiciously. He didn't believe that this fellow would have such meticulous thoughts.
"Is it really just because of this?"
Cheng Yaojin hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, it is absolutely true."
Li Er shook his head helplessly. His intuition told him that this matter was definitely not that simple. He made up his mind that when Li Zexuan came, he would definitely interrogate him properly.
In fact, Cheng Yaojin was wronged. He only followed Li Zexuan and raised chickens on a large scale. As for why Li Zexuan raised so many chickens, he didn't know either.
Li Er looked at the officials and asked: "Do you have anything else to report?"
At this moment, Yan Lide was about to walk out from the civil officials' group. Who knew that another middle-aged official would be faster than him. That person walked out and bowed:
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Li Er looked at the person in front of him and rubbed his head with a headache. He asked: "What does Minister Wei want to report?"
In his heart, he thought, 'I haven't done anything out of line recently, right? What is this Wei Xuancheng doing now?'
That's right, this person was Wei Zheng. This fellow didn't care who the other party was when he scolded people. Even Li Er had been scolded by him many times.
Wei Zheng cupped his hands and said to Li Er:
"Your Majesty, I impeach Li Jingmo's son, Li Zexuan. This child showed off his strange skills and made and sold a toy called a scooter. Countless children rode on it and played wantonly on the streets of Chang 'an City. Not only did it seriously disrupt the order of Chang' an City, but it was also quite dangerous for those children. Your Majesty, please issue an edict to prohibit the sale of this item. "
When Li Er heard that Wei Zheng wasn't here to scold him today, he heaved a sigh of relief. When he heard that Wei Zheng was also here to impeach Li Zexuan, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. He thought to himself: A few days ago, I was still thinking about how to cultivate this kid. I didn't expect this kid to be a troublemaker. Today, he actually provoked two important officials to impeach him.
Li Er was about to speak when he saw Dugu Mou come in.
"Your Majesty, Li Zexuan has been brought here. He is waiting outside the hall!"
Dugu Mou bowed to Li Er and said.
Li Er nodded and said: "Let him in."
Then he looked at Wei Zheng and said with a smile: "Just in time, this kid is here. Minister Wei, let's see how he explains it."
Li Er was also looking forward to it. He had read a lot of information about Li Zexuan. In this hall, he was probably the one who understood Li Zexuan the most. Today, he was finally going to see the real person. He wanted to see how this kid was like.
However, even he didn't expect to see Li Zexuan under such circumstances.
