Chapter 68 Lao Zhu beats people!
"Good news, great news!" As soon as Li Jie returned home, he was pulled into the wing by Li Zhu, who looked ecstatic.
"What good news makes my father so happy?" Li Jie asked in confusion.
"Your grandfather... your grandfather agreed to return home and retire!" Li Zhu was so ecstatic that his facial features were a little distorted. He has always been a steady person. This was the first time he was so disobedient in front of Li Jie.
"Really?" Li Jie was also shocked when he heard this. Could it be that his time travel changed Li Shanchang's idea? If he really returned home, the Li family might be able to escape, and Li Jie himself would not have to take such pains to marry the princess.
"Of course it's true. I went to see my father today. He told me in person, and your fifth uncle also confirmed this. I...I..." Li Zhu choked up and lost his voice at the end. Even if Li Shanchang was not good to him, he was his father. So he couldn't eat well and sleep well during this period. Now that his father finally figured it out, he could finally feel at ease.
Seeing his father's excited appearance, Li Jie finally believed that this matter should be true, which made him feel relaxed. If this matter was true, he would finally be free.
In addition, if you don’t marry a princess, maybe he can consider the Miss Hu. Although Hu Jiang is a trustless villain, the Miss Hu is a woman with love and kindness. He did not dislike him when he was at his most downturn. Marrying such a woman as his wife will definitely not disappoint him.
"When will my grandfather leave the capital?" Li Jie thought of a key question and asked again. Now it is not far from May, and it will be too late if he doesn't leave.
"It's not easy to move away in one go for such a big family in the Korean government, so your grandfather meant to send someone to repair the ancestral home in his hometown first, and move it back after it is repaired." Li Zhu replied with a smile.
"When is it time to build a house?" Li Jie's heart sank. With the efficiency of this era, it is common for a house to be built in the first half of the year. Maybe before the house in his hometown is repaired, their whole family will have already landed.
"Don't worry, it won't take long. Your fifth uncle said that in order to speed up the progress, your grandfather borrowed three hundred guards from Duke Xinguo. Maybe it will be repaired in two or three months as soon as possible." Li Zhu said with a smile again. Although he knew that the Li family was in trouble, he did not know that the disaster would come in two or three months. At that time, the house would be repaired, and then the graves of their whole family would be repaired.
"I also borrowed three hundred guards, I..." Li Jie almost spoke up. He now doubted whether Li Shanchang was really confused. He actually borrowed troops from Tang He at this critical moment. This was just a plea to him that he was not dying fast enough!
In fact, if it were in the past, Li Shanchang borrowed three hundred guards to build his own house, but now Lao Zhu's dissatisfaction with Li Shanchang has reached a peak. He borrowed troops at this time was simply teasing Lao Zhu's nerves. If you want to leave, you should leave quickly and he is slow to build a house. Li Jie is going to be anxious.
Li Jie felt like he was standing in a house that was about to collapse, desperately warning to the other people in the house, but the people in the house were still sleeping and finally woke them up. However, these people were looking for shoes to wear, and they had to pack fine money when putting on shoes, and they didn't know that the house was about to collapse.
"What's wrong with you, Jie'er? Do you think something is wrong?" Li Zhu, who was excited, finally discovered Li Jie's abnormality at this time, and asked nervously.
"No... nothing, I just didn't expect my grandfather to figure it out." Li Jie hesitated for a moment and didn't tell the truth.
It is hard to persuade the damn ghost. If Li Shanchang just wasted time, he could ask his father to remind him again. However, the matter of Li Shanchang borrowing troops from Tang He completely blocked the road. Even if Li Shanchang left the capital now, it would still be difficult to dispel Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion.
Li Shanchang was dead! Li Jie sighed in his heart. At this time, he suddenly remembered that Li Shanchang in history had indeed borrowed guards from Tang He to build a house. As a result, Tang He, the old slip-on, turned around and told Zhu Yuanzhang about this. Then Zhu Yuanzhang once again used the Hu Weiyong case to arrest the rebels everywhere, and Li Shanchang was also involved, and finally ended up being killed.
"It's fine. Jie'er, you're too tired recently, so be careful to take a rest!" Li Zhu did not doubt Li Jie's words, or he had been stunned by joy, and after that, he went to share his joy with Mrs. Li.
Looking at the father's departure, Li Jie sighed and said in a low voice: "It seems that the princess is still going to marry her. I just don't know if the sister Zhu Yunxiu is tall or short, fat or thin. I hope she won't be too ugly, even if she has a bad temper, I will admit it!"
The next morning, after breakfast, Li Jie still came to the main hall as usual. However, as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Zhu Yunxi standing outside the door with an anxious look on his face. When he saw him, his eyes immediately lit up and rushed forward and said, "Li Ban is not good at studying, my father...my father was beaten by the emperor's grandfather!"
"What?" Li Jie was also shocked when he heard the news. It was so exciting that such a thrilling gossip came early in the morning.
"Why did Your Majesty beat the prince?" Li Jie, who reacted, hurriedly pulled Zhu Yun's side and asked in a low voice.
"I don't know either, but I suspect it may be related to the hot air balloon article I wrote." Zhu Yunxiu cried anxiously at this time. Although Zhu Biao was a little biased, it was his father after all. After all, he felt uncomfortable when he learned that his father was beaten.
"The article you wrote? Is it impossible?" Li Jie was speechless. It was just an article related to hot air balloons that actually caused Zhu Yuanzhang and his son to fight?
"This is true. I finished writing the article yesterday and showed it to my sister. As a result, my sister said it would be better to show it to my grandfather, so..."
As Zhu Yunxiu said, he gave the article they gave to Zhu Yuanzhang yesterday, and he was praised by Zhu Yuanzhang, and even agreed to tell him about leaving the palace every afternoon. However, after Zhu Yunxiu and the others left, Zhu Biao was called to Dongguan Pavilion. As a result, he didn't know what happened. Zhu Yunxiu only knew that his father had a bruised nose and a swollen face after he came back, and even the imperial doctor called him.
"So, you don't know why Your Majesty beat the prince?" Li Jie also said with a thoughtful look after hearing this.
"I don't know, but I heard from my sister that Grandpa Huang said he wanted to have a good chat with his father, but his father turned out like this when he came back, so I think it's probably because of my business." Zhu Yunyu said in the end and his voice became lower and lower, and tears rolled down. If his father was beaten because of his own affairs, he would not bear it.
"Don't be sad in a hurry. I think Your Majesty will not beat the prince for your business!" Li Jie expressed his judgment, and then asked again, "Have Your Majesty beat the prince before? Why is it?"
"Yes!" Zhu Yunxiu replied with great affirmation, "Since the death of the emperor's grandmother, the emperor's temper has become very irritable. My father is sometimes quite stubborn, especially in some government affairs. I remember one time last year, because his father contradicted the emperor's grandfather, he was beaten by the emperor!"
Li Jie also knew what Zhu Yunyu said. Historical books recorded that although Zhu Yuanzhang loved his son, he sometimes could not control his temper and beat him. In the past, when Empress Ma was alive, Zhu Biao was still protected. However, when Empress Ma passed away, Zhu Yuanzhang's temper became even more irritable, and the other sons went to other places, so Zhu Biao was in a tragedy. It was estimated that he had been beaten a lot in recent years.
However, another thing is also recorded in history books, that is, Zhu Biao was afraid of being beaten, so he came up with a trick. As soon as this trick was used, Zhu Yuanzhang never hit him again. But now it seems that Zhu Biao has been beaten too little, at least he hasn't thought of that trick yet.
At this moment, a eunuch suddenly rushed over and saw Li Jie and immediately stepped forward and said, "Report to Li Banju, the prince will be summoned!"
Li Jie felt a little guilty when he heard this. Did he guess wrongly? Zhu Biao’s beating was really related to the article he taught Zhu Yunsheng to write?
"Li Bandu, why don't I go with you?" Zhu Yunxiu hesitated for a moment and finally spoke with a firm expression. He felt that this was caused by himself, so Li Jie could not be punished alone.
"No, I still think this matter has nothing to do with you. The prince happened to be summoned. I'll go and ask for help you find out!" Li Jie smiled and patted Zhu Yunxi on the shoulder. After that, he followed the eunuch to meet Zhu Biao.
