Chapter 421 Li Laoer admits defeat
Following the dry finger, Li Laosi squinted his eyes and examined it carefully, then touched his nose feeling a little guilty.
"Actually, I see, um, big brother seems to be in good health, right? Of course, I'm definitely not the kind of emperor who wants you to work like a slave. From now on, if big brother gets sick again, I will definitely take care of him attentively..."
"Who said you were my big brother? I meant the Queen! Look at your wife, isn't this a little inappropriate..."
Li Laoer made an angry announcement to remind the little emperor, and then immediately hit the sore spot of the petty-minded dog emperor.
Without waiting for the other person to finish speaking, he quickly reached out and punched the thief, giving him a black eye.
"Fuck you, you dare to look at my wife?
You are sociable, you are sociable!
If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will take people to Prince Jing's Mansion and surround your wife and watch her from beginning to end!"
“…Li Chengxiu!”
He had good intentions, but he ran into a stupid and bad dog. Li Yuxiu's loyalty was nowhere to be found, and he was punched for no reason, which made him tremble with anger.
"You ungrateful bastard, if I say another word to you in the future, I'll be your fucking son!"
"Bah, stop forcing yourself on me. I don't even need a thief like you!"
“…you…you…”
Unable to beat him or scold him, Prince Jing was finally broken down by this strange emperor and turned around to rush towards Prince An.
"Brother, do you still care?
Prince An, who was carefully discussing the follow-up matters with the Empress, was drawn away by Prince Jing's shout. He only needed to take one look at the two beasts for his world-weary expression to appear.
He sneered and raised the corner of his lips, and the color of his lips, which was lacking in energy and blood, looked a bit cold.
“Who can I control?
I am a sickly, frail fellow, unable to lift a sword or wield a knife. Yet, you still call me "Big Brother." I guess it's because you two have pity on me that you've left me this last bit of dignity.
Who can I control?
Wow, when did this guy learn these weird tricks without any teacher?
Jiang Wan blinked her beautiful eyes with interest, then sat upright in the chair, watching Boss Li train the dog.
Li Laoer's face froze when he was confronted by his elder brother. He covered his hit eyes and retorted in a stuttering voice.
"Brother, that's not what I meant. You are the clan leader of our Dayu clan. No matter what, you are also the patriarch of the Li family! If you don't take care of it, who will?"
He pointed at Li Laosi with a look of grievance and muttered complaints.
"Although it's true that he's the emperor, I'm still his second brother, right? I haven't done anything outrageous, so why would he beat me for no reason? I'm a prince after all. If this gets out, will I still be able to survive in the court?"
Li Lao Er was wronged, and Li Lao Er was right, but it was a pity that Li Lao Da was too lazy to listen. He glanced at his second brother coldly and reminded him again.
"Of the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues, the ruler is the leader of the ministers! The emperor is the ruler. As the ancients said, if the ruler wishes for the death of his ministers, the ministers must die.
Li Yuxiu, this is the last time I, as your elder brother, will remind you. If you ever again exceed your duties as a subject, whatever fate you face will be a well-deserved punishment. Don't worry about it.
This was the first time that Li Yuxiu saw his elder brother's coldness and ruthlessness.
Slowly lowering his hand from covering his eyes, he looked at his eldest brother, who acted like a wise king. Then he turned to look at his fifth brother, who was huddled aside, doing his best to be a good idle king. Then he looked at his fourth brother's wife, who was dignified and majestic, and clearly had the demeanor of a queen.
Finally, he turned his head and looked at his fourth brother.
It seems that only Li Chengxiu has not changed. He is still the same Li Laosi who gets angry at the slightest provocation and is ready to fight with himself with his fists.
But it seems that he should change too.
Just like myself, I should have followed the trend and recognized the position I should have occupied long ago.
He lifted his clothes and brushed his sleeves, then knelt on his knees.
"I have done nothing wrong. I beg Your Majesty to forgive my mistakes!"
"Hehehehehe, you thief, are you going to have to admit your weakness in front of me one day? Hahahahaha, I..."
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
"emperor!"
Prince An and the Queen spoke helplessly at the same time, which finally calmed the emperor down. He curled his lips unwillingly and groaned several times before forcing himself to be more generous.
"Prince Jing, please stand up. For the sake of the late emperor, I will let you go once more!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Hmph...you're welcome!"
The emperor, who was about to say a few words to cheer himself up, was forced to be silent by the stares from both Prince An and the Queen.
Prince Jing got up from the ground, walked dejectedly to the chair next to Prince Shun, and sat down in silence.
"Second brother?"
Poor little Lao Wu was frightened and trembled, crying out in a trembling voice. Li Lao Er looked over with lifeless eyes.
"What?"
Prince Shun pointed forward.
"You're sitting in the wrong seat. Don't you usually sit next to Big Brother?"
"You're not sitting wrong. This is where I belong. Big Brother is the eldest brother and the clan leader. I don't deserve to sit on the same level with him."
Prince Jing looked at Prince An who was discussing something with the Queen. He lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly, not knowing who he was mocking.
Prince Shun looked at his second brother who was no longer so high-spirited and sighed quietly in his heart.
You finally recognize your place, don't you? Well, that's good. From now on, we two brothers will just be a pair of idle kings.
"Brother, after Ji Xun resigned, the position of prime minister couldn't be left vacant. The officials in the court haven't made any moves to grab it yet, but it won't be long. I don't have any good candidates in mind for now. Does anyone here have anyone you'd like to recommend?"
Prince An pondered for a moment, then looked up at the emperor.
"May I ask, Your Majesty, do you have anyone you're interested in?"
"Of course I do!"
Finally, the eldest brother asked him about his face, and Li Chengxiu happily raised his hand to speak.
"I recommend the Minister of Personnel, Mr. Qin Zhenning!
He's smart and adaptable, and he works incredibly efficiently without dragging his feet. Just by looking at how well he's taught me what I am today, you can tell if he's truly capable.
To be honest, big brother, I have always felt that it was a bit of a waste of his talent for him to be my tutor. A top talent like him should be the head of all officials!
This is definitely not because Li Chengxiu is so praising Lord Qin just to take care of his wife's feelings, but he really feels so from the bottom of his heart!
After all, all the important civil officials in the court had been his teachers, and so far no one had ever had a life-and-death feud with him over learning. Now the only one left was Lord Qin!
What kind of touching teacher-student relationship is this?
The Roe Emperor made up his mind to help his own tutor get the position of Prime Minister!
