Obviously, Li Xiu didn't think that honey-mouthed and backstabbing was a kind of friendliness. This kind of friendliness was more frightening and annoying than arrogance.
Of course, because honey-mouthed and backstabbing had a certain degree of concealment, it was easy to make people relax their vigilance and feel that it was a kind of friendliness. Li Linfu didn't use backstabbing on everyone. He was still very friendly when he got along with many mediocre colleagues. He smiled every day and didn't make people uncomfortable. However, many people knew his character, so they were also cautious when getting along with him.
"Look at your expression. Do you think what I said is wrong?"
Li Linfu asked coldly when he saw the disdain on his son's face.
Li Xiu quickly said, "No, father, you're right. I've always been low-key. I've never done anything arrogant and domineering. I also get along well with my colleagues. I've never quarreled with others. My family's servants have never bullied others. I will never repeat the mistakes of the Yang family."
Li Linfu said lightly, "In the past few years, His Majesty's thoughts couldn't be clearer. He focused on cultivating Yang Guozhong in order to let Yang Guozhong inherit my position as the Right Prime Minister and be the head of the ministers. But this idiot hasn't made any progress. I'm really worried!"
Li Xiu was even more disdainful. Although his father was more capable, he had been relying on his relatives in the past few years, which made the Tang dynasty's government deteriorate day by day. Many people called him a treacherous prime minister. Now, this treacherous prime minister was actually worried about the future of the Tang dynasty. It was really ironic.
Unlike the quiet conversation between the father and son of the Li family, in Yang Guozhong's mansion, the head of the family, Yang Guozhong, tore the Tang dynasty newspaper in his hand into pieces in exasperation and threw it into the air.
The front page and the following pages of the Tang dynasty newspaper were almost all about the evil servants of the Yang family who offended the princess. Although the content was factual, it also clearly described Yang Guozhong's righteousness and even praised him. Even Yang Guozhong himself couldn't find fault with it, let alone find trouble with the Tang dynasty newspaper. After all, what others said was true and praised him. So, what else could he do?
But as long as one had a brain, one could see the irony in it. It was just that it was hidden and not easy to be discovered.
In addition, what made Yang Guozhong even more vexed was that Tang Dynasty Daily's influence was too great. Such a large-scale report would inevitably lead to the consequences of everyone knowing about it, and this was definitely not a good thing for her.
The most important problem was that the emperor often read the Tang dynasty newspaper. If he forgot about it but saw it in the newspaper, wouldn't it be terrible?
In addition, the emperor was a person who cared about face. At this moment, the evil servants of the Yang family had offended the princess. If Yang Guozhong was promoted, wouldn't it seem that the royal family was easy to bully? Then, in the future, would the Li family or the Yang family rule the Tang dynasty?
Although Yang Guozhong was extremely dissatisfied with the content of the report in the Tang dynasty newspaper, he could only suffer in silence. In the face of the sarcastic compliment, he was speechless. He even couldn't find a reason to stop the Tang dynasty newspaper from continuing to report this matter. It was really hard for him.
As for the housekeeper who came forward to mediate, Yang Guozhong also retorted with vicious words. If he wasn't punching and kicking him personally, he would be cursing him very harshly. The housekeeper, who had a relatively good psychological quality, was scolded to the point of almost crying.
"Call all the servants in the house here."
Yang Guozhong was tired of scolding the housekeeper and scolded him loudly.
"Yes, Alang."
The housekeeper left for a while and soon came back. The servants also arrived one after another.
Yang Guozhong paced back and forth as he looked at the hundreds of people in front of him. His eyes were filled with an ominous glint. The servants were trembling with fear as they lowered their heads. They were afraid that they would do something wrong and provoke their master.
"Listen to me, if anyone dares to make trouble in the future by relying on the prestige of the Yang family, break his legs. If anyone dares to make trouble again …"
Yang Guozhong scolded angrily.
"By the way, who here is the evil servant's relative?"
Yang Guozhong asked.
The housekeeper thought for a moment and said, "Idiot Liu, who is guarding the back door, is his cousin. No one else."
"The evil servant is audacious. His cousin can't be a good person, either. Drive him away now and never let him step into the Yang family."
Yang Guozhong said angrily.
The housekeeper felt that this method of implicating him was very inappropriate. After all, this idiot Liu was a cautious and conscientious person and was not a domineering person. He was very different from his cousin who had committed a crime. His character was also more straightforward and he was a stubborn person. If he was sent away with this reason, he was afraid that it would make things worse and embarrass the Yang family even more.
"Alang, Idiot Liu is a conscientious and honest person. His brain is a little stiff. It is very inappropriate to drive him away like this. Alang, think carefully!"
The housekeeper braced himself and said.
It would be fine if the housekeeper didn't say anything, but when Yang Guozhong was angry, he disobeyed Yang Guozhong's orders. This immediately made Yang Guozhong extremely angry.
"Are you the family head or am I the family head? This family head is yours."
Yang Guozhong roared angrily. Then, he looked at the crowd and shouted loudly, "Idiot Liu, who is Idiot Liu?"
"Alang, I'm here."
Idiot Liu stood out and took a few steps forward, approaching Yang Guozhong.
Looking at the silly guy in front of him, Yang Guozhong felt a wave of disgust. How did the housekeeper select people? Why did they find such a silly person?
"Idiot Liu, go back and pack up quickly. Go home!"
Yang Guozhong said angrily. After saying that, his anger still didn't dissipate.
"Go home? Why do I have to go home? I'm doing well. Why does Alang want to drive me away? "
Idiot Liu asked, feeling wronged.
"Come, throw him out. Throw him out."
Yang Guozhong's patience had run out. His time was very precious. He wouldn't waste it here because of an idiot.
Several guards with weapons came over and dragged Idiot Liu out of the mansion.
"No, I won't go. I'm doing well. Why do you want to drive me away? I won't go, I won't go."
Idiot Liu's stupidity came out again. He stayed on the ground and refused to leave.
Yang Guozhong scolded again. As a result, the guards were also angered. Several of them carried him out and threw him on the street.
The servants naturally had opinions about the family head's actions. However, no one dared to say anything. After all, they were the servants and the other party was the master.
Especially the housekeeper, he was even more depressed. He had served Yang Guozhong for so long, but this was the first time he was scolded so badly. In his opinion, Yang Guozhong was really a big idiot. The servant who caused trouble was beaten to death. This wasn't a big problem. After all, he had committed a crime. The remaining few hundred servants didn't do anything wrong. He could just reprimand them. How could he drive Idiot Liu away because of their relationship? This was too disappointing. If something really happened to the Yang family in the future, who would be loyal to their master?
Idiot Liu, who was thrown on the street, cried loudly. At this moment, his whole body was in pain. Especially his right arm, which was especially painful. Many of his bones were fractured. It was so painful that he couldn't get up.
The passers-by saw a fool lying on the ground crying. Most of them didn't take it seriously and left. However, some people were curious and went to ask about the situation.
"All of you, be the judge. I didn't do anything wrong. Why was I driven out by Alang? Why, why!"
Big Idiot Liu cried, feeling wronged. He cried very sadly, as if he was sobbing.
"Aiyo, this is really too much. Who is your family's Alang? So cruel. "
A busybody asked.
"He's a big official. His name is Yang Guozhong. This is the house."
Idiot Liu pointed at the gate dozens of meters away and said.
When the guards carried him out, they didn't directly throw him out of the gate. Instead, they went out through the side gate and walked for a while before throwing him out. This was to not affect the reputation of the Imperial Censor Mansion and to prevent Idiot Liu from crying at the gate.
"So you're a servant of the Yang family! There's an evil servant of your Yang family who beat up His Majesty's favorite Princess Guangning. Do you know him? "
A busybody asked.
"That's my bad cousin. It has nothing to do with me. Our two families have long stopped communicating because he always bullied me. I didn't do anything wrong. Why should I be driven away?"
There was nothing wrong with Idiot Liu's brain. His thoughts were very clear. However, he was stupid and stubborn. Even when he was dead, he couldn't change his mind.
"Go and see what's going on."
Li Yu passed by in a car. When he saw a group of people surrounding a person lying on the ground, he was very curious and wanted to know what had happened.
The servant who went with him took the order and then came back happily.
"Look at you. What's the matter?"
Li Yu couldn't wait to ask.
"Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon must have thought that the guy lying on the road is Yang Guozhong's servant. He's the cousin of the evil servant who beat up Princess Guangning. He was driven out by Yang Guozhong out of anger. As a result, this guy is stubborn and is making a scene on the street. By the way, he was carried out by the guards and his arm seems to be broken."
The servant reported truthfully.
When Li Yu heard this, he was very happy. The evil servant had accidentally offended the princess. This time, Yang Guozhong vented his anger on the evil servant's cousin and threw an innocent person on the street. This was very good news. It was very beneficial to attack Yang Guozhong. With such a good opportunity, how could Li Yu not seize it immediately?
"Since this person is injured, hurry up and take him to the medical center for treatment. Find a few unfamiliar faces to serve him. Don't let anyone know that I'm the one who treated him, including this person himself. It must be done in secret."
Li Yu ordered.
"Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon, don't worry. I know what to do."
The servant took the order and left.
Li Yu, on the other hand, was heading to the Ministry of Works. The construction of the underground parking lot required a large amount of financial and material resources, as well as a large amount of manpower. All of this required the cooperation of the various departments of the imperial court in order for it to be completed successfully. As such, Li Yu had to frequently interact with these officials and hand over tasks.
Although these officials could also go to Li Yu's house to receive orders, these officials had a lot of things to deal with every day. If they kept going to Li Yu's house, it would inevitably waste a lot of time. They probably wouldn't have time to deal with other things at hand. Therefore, to be considerate of these officials, Li Yu decided to go to the imperial court's yamen personally when needed. He didn't want these officials to come all the way to his house.
This would also make the officials have a better impression of Li Yu. After all, no official liked a domineering person. Everyone liked a gentle and considerate leader.
Every time something happened, Li Yu would personally go to the yamen to discuss the details of the allocation of resources and manpower with many fifth and sixth rank officials. In this way, Li Yu won the unanimous approval of many officials. All the officials who had interacted with Li Yu approved of Li Yu's character. They felt that Li Yu was a rare imperial grandson.
There were many busybodies on the road, but none of them dared to offend the Yang family. They just gathered around to join in the fun. They didn't really dare to meddle in other people's business. Therefore, even if Idiot Liu broke his arm, no one went to help him, let alone give him a bite to eat.
This one-track minded idiot Liu didn't know how to leave the street and go to the medical hall for treatment. He also didn't know how to eat a hot meal. He only knew how to complain.
This satisfied the curious passers-by who came to watch from time to time. These passers-by were satisfied with the gossip and left with satisfaction. Idiot Liu just kept talking.
Until a few strangers appeared and took Idiot Liu to the medical hall for treatment. Then, Idiot Liu was properly settled down.
However, Idiot Liu didn't stop complaining almost all the time. He complained that he was driven out by Yang Guozhong and that his arm was broken.
"My arm is broken. It hurts. It hurts."
Big Idiot Liu wiped his tears as he looked at his bandaged arm. He was extremely sad.
"Idiot Liu, do you want to get justice for yourself?"
A stranger asked.
"Get justice. Yes, I must get justice. I have to go back and continue to guard the door."
Idiot Liu said stubbornly.
"Idiot Liu, there is only one way to get justice. That is to go to the Tang dynasty and expose what happened to you. Let everyone in the world know that you were wronged. In this way, Alang will have to ask you to go back and you can continue to guard the door."
A stranger said.
Idiot Liu thought for a moment and nodded. "Okay, I'll listen to you. I want justice. I must get justice. Why did you drive me out?"
After that, he thought for a moment and said, "Where is the Tang dynasty? How do I get there?"
"That's easy. We can take you there. But after we send you there, we should leave. You can only rely on yourself for the rest."
Idiot Liu nodded and said, "Okay, I see. Let's go now!"
