No. 8 Pawnshop

Chapter 86:

Six days later, Li Yuan, who stayed in Taiyuan and was the Duke of Tang, wrote a letter to ask Li Jiancheng, the eldest son, to be crowned the prince, and the Sui Emperor agreed. Soon, Li Jiancheng’s position as the prince was justified, and his status was unshakable.

In this incident, the second son of the Li clan, Li Shimin, was the most affected. After confirming that the news was true, he went back to Taiyuan in the name of congratulating his mother Dou Shi, but his father Li Yuan only asked him about many matters in the south, and did not mention the matter of the son, Li Shimin could only press his heart. Do not retreat.

In the evening, Li Shimin just came back from his mother Dou’s yard. There are some things that are inconvenient to mention in front of his father, but he can tell his mother some things, but Dou did not know about it beforehand. , Li Yuan never mentioned the matter of establishing the heir to her, she always thought it was to postpone the discussion.

Li Shimin raised his head and looked at the bright moon, which was mostly covered by dark clouds, and his thoughts were mixed.

After thinking about it, he decided to ask Mr. Bai for advice, but after Lao Bai heard what he said, he asked back, “Is the son interested in the position of the prince?”

Li Shimin was stunned, but also frankly said, “I believe that my ability and talent are not inferior to my elder brother.

Old Baiyan looked at him gently with a smile, so he couldn’t help but say what was in his heart,

“Besides, when I helped Yan to raise troops in Taiyuan that day, he promised that whoever of our brothers could conquer Guanzhong would be named the heir. It is up to you to advocate, if a major event is accomplished, the natural merit will be attributed to you, so you must be established as the prince’.”

When Li Shimin said this, his eyes were bright, and it could be seen that Li Yuan’s words that day gave him a lot of confidence and courage.

Hearing this, Lao Bai couldn’t help sighing in his heart. The brotherhood between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin in the future may not be the root cause of Li Yuan’s single-handedly planting. Although Lao Bai sighed in his heart, but on the face Without showing it, he said, “I only persuade the young master to take care of the deep friendship between brothers and sisters, and don’t put yourself in a dilemma.”

Li Shimin was stunned, but then bowed to Lao Bai, “I remember what Mr.

—

“Miss Ye.” Li Jiancheng, dressed in Chinese clothes, walked in happily, and said to Ye Li, who was leisurely watching the shadow puppet show in the yard, “My father made me the heir, and His Majesty’s edict also It has been sent to my house.”

He originally wanted to call Ye Li the boss, but just in case others thought it was strange, he changed it to Miss Ye. Even though Li Jiancheng came to announce the good news, Ye Li did not stop the shadow play, but smiled at him and said, “You deserve it.”

“You’re right, I’m the eldest son of the Li family, the prince of Tang Guogong.” Even if the Li family’s uprising was successful, he would be the crown prince, the future emperor, Li Jiancheng thought more and more. The more excited he became, the more wild hope rose in his eyes.

“I left home and went to China for three full years, for the splendid Chang’an in my dream, for the city full of magical adventures, and to satisfy a man’s grand wish. Now I finally return home in brocade clothes…”

The play lyrics sung by the artist interrupted Li Jiancheng’s imagination. He took it back and said sincerely to Ye Li, who helped him greatly, “Miss Ye, my retainer celebrates my banishment. The prince held a banquet, do you want to come too?”

“No more.”

Ye Li’s indifferent response made Li Jiancheng, who was very satisfied, a little unhappy, but when he thought of the other party’s mysterious and unpredictable methods, he still lowered his stance, with no expression on his face. revealed.

Ye Li glanced coldly, “You must know that your retainers and staff are in the open, while I am in the dark, apart from you, it is best that no one else knows of my existence. .”

Li Jiancheng is not stupid either, he naturally agreed with Ye Li’s words, so he nodded, “Miss Ye, I understand.” Left to celebrate with his retainers.

A sneer leaked from the corner of Ye Li’s lips, the position of a prince deserves such a big celebration, and this is where Li Jiancheng’s heart is. In the past few days, Ye Li can be said to be more and more dissatisfied with Li Jiancheng. She is a person with a very high standard. Although Li Jiancheng’s talent and ability are not bad, Ye Li really can’t let it go. eyes.

However, even after discovering Li Jiancheng’s various weaknesses, Ye Li did not think about persuading or tuning him like the Bai family did. The Bai family hoped to teach and help Li Shimin become a wise monarch and end troubled times , ushering in a new era. But she has always been just for business, and not letting the Bai family dominate the fate of the world. Since Li Jiancheng can’t be a good opponent to deal with Li Shimin, then it’s better to be a whetstone.

Anyway, a good blade has appeared. Ye Li’s eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled lightly.

——

After listening to Mr. Bai’s words, Li Shimin knew in his heart that it seemed that Mr. Bai had no intention of helping him win the heirloom. Although Li Shimin was a little disappointed, he thought of the moral character of Mr. Bai that he felt these days. Don’t force it any more, and discuss this matter with your advisors after you go back. As for Mr. Bai, Li Shimin still prefers to regard him as a pure teacher rather than an aide.

Li Shimin respectfully and politely bid farewell to Lao Bai, Lao Bai sighed again as he looked at his leaving back.

——

Chang’an, Tang Guofu,

In the yard, Ye Li suddenly said to the artist who was singing shadow puppets behind the curtain, “Continue singing, don’t stop.”

Though those artists were a little puzzled, but because the other party was a nobleman, they continued to sing, and even the songs were changed along the way. What they could not see was a gentle and elegant young man in white, sitting on the seat beside Ye Li’s tea table.

And their conversation was unheard.

Ye Li chuckled lightly, but still watched the shadow play with great interest, “What? I’m disappointed with Li Shimin.”

Of course Ye Li could understand the mood of the Bai family, but he was a little disappointed by Li Shimin’s ambition to help the world. He placed great hope and was even willing to pass on his knowledge to him, but Li Shimin might not be the same as the Bai family.

Thousands of thousands of people in this world may be inclined to the light, but it does not mean that they are on the same path as the light.

But the disappointment is only a little bit. After all, the Bai family has lived a hundred years more than the young Ye Li. Think and act.

Only for the pure and unsullied Bai family, even the slightest crack will be obvious.

Old Bai sighed, “You just influenced Li Yuan’s momentary thoughts, this doesn’t change anything, what’s the point of doing this?”

Thank me?”

Even Lao Bai didn’t expect that the position of the heir would let him see Li Shimin’s ambition and his ruthlessness towards his direct brother. Of course, it also made Ye Li more and more dissatisfied with Li Jiancheng .

In fact, neither Lao Bai nor Ye Li are suitable to be Li Jiancheng or Li Shimin’s helpers. Ye Li has high requirements, and the Bai family’s requirements will only be higher than her. Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin are in others. In his eyes, he looked like a rare hero, but in the eyes of Lao Bai, Ye Li was nothing but ordinary, and even more critical because of his attention to them.

“To be honest, your Bai family is not suitable for playing these intrigues and intrigues. It’s better to stop early and let me help Li Shimin. I will let him make achievements, be beautiful, and open up a prosperous generation.” Ye Li smiled softly,

Old Bai didn’t answer, Ye Li didn’t expect him to answer, he just tried it out. Compared with Li Jiancheng, she does value Li Shimin more, not only because of his emperor’s luck, but also because of his own ingenuity and skill.

Old Bai suddenly said, “He should have been a wise monarch.”

The more resisted by the laws of this world.

Ye Li’s expression returned to indifference, “He will be a qualified monarch, but not perfect.”

So he is more suitable for the No. 8 pawnshop, not the Bai family.

Thinking of this, Lao Bai couldn’t help being slightly jealous of Ye Li.

“However,” Ye Li smiled again, “Instead of worrying about my digging, it’s better to think about how the famous Cihang Jingzhai in the arena has won him over.”

“I remember that the sect was passed down as divine, representing righteousness and holiness. I thought you would appreciate them.”

“You’re joking.” Lao Baiwen said with a smile, but in his heart he was a little disappointed when he saw Li Shimin crossing the bridge and demolishing the river in the future, respecting the Tao and despising the Buddha. Although the emperor’s mind is good, he is ungrateful But not as it should be.

Although Ye Li used Cihang Jingzhai as a talking point, like the Bai family, he did not take it seriously, but when he thought of Cihang Jingzhai, Ye Li thought of their nemesis Yingui School, there is still a business to discuss there.

Ye Li didn’t plan to spend more time on Li Jiancheng, he was just a **** she used to deal with Li Shimin and the Bai family behind him, more time, Ye Li would be more Willing to spend on the **** shop business.

In fact, the reason why Ye Li chose to intervene in the heir-snatching issue was because he didn’t want the Bai family to have too much influence on the future master of the world, so that it would hinder the No. 8 pawnshop in this The business of the world, even erases its traces.

Whether the world is inclined towards darkness or light, the result is uncertain.
