Chapter 141 His Child, No Difference
Li Xun's eyes instantly turned red, "Brother...Brother... "
Li Cong sighed, "The boss knows his situation, and he's also well aware of your ambitions. He doesn't want to make you frustrated because of him. But there's order of seniority, and it has been like this since ancient times. Dad has fought against it, but..." Thinking of Li Liang, who had always been at odds with him, Li Cong felt guilty.
"Dad, I understand."
Li Cong sighed, "This is actually a good thing, but Xun'er, this road is not easy to walk, do you know?"
"Son, I understand, but I'm not afraid." Li Xun's eyes were full of determination. The annoyance in his heart for many years seemed to be swept away at this moment. He... might also have a chance.
"Your Majesty..." Li Cong thought of the time when the child asked him to accept him as a student, and shook his head and laughed. He really didn't recognize this child, or rather, he had never thought about it in this way. Now that he recalled it, he really did look a bit like the former crown prince.
"Although the emperor is young, he has been well taught by the regent. I think he will definitely be a good emperor in the future."
"His child won't be bad. You... should guide him well."
"Yes, my son will do his best."
Li Cong then relaxed and leaned back, saying with a smile, "Now our Li family has truly become a target. This regent is really..."
Speaking of the Regent, Li Xun's expression became serious, "Dad, do you know that the Regent has had private contact with Lan'er?"
"Are you talking about the tea leaves?"
"Dad, do you know?"
"I just found out this morning."
Li Xun frowned, "My son always feels that this regent treats Lan'er a little differently."
"Be careful with your words!" Li Cong's expression became particularly cautious.
"My son knows the seriousness of the matter. The Regent is not a good man. My son is worried..."
"It hasn't come to that point yet. I think Lan'er...ha, she still hasn't figured it out. The regent may not think the same way. Let's wait and see."
Li Xun didn't think so. This was a top priority. He couldn't let his niece fall into the fire pit. Who was the regent? How could he care about love? If Lan'er really fell into his hands, she would definitely suffer.
"By the way, I promise to keep the emperor's identity a secret for the time being. Father..."
"Haha, I, your father, won't say anything. In the evening, call the eldest and the third brother, and we'll have a good discussion. There will definitely be troubles coming, and we have to think of ways to deal with them in advance."
"Yes."

Regent's Palace, study.
Chu Chenfeng was looking at something seriously when Xingyi came in with some tea.
"Master, have some tea."
Chu Chen didn't even raise his head, looking at the paper on the table.
Xing took a glance and saw a dozen words written on the white paper: Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of War, Ministry of Works, Ministry of Punishment, and Ministry of Rites.
It is well known that Pang Fei from the Ministry of War is the prince's man. But in fact, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Works are also the prince's men, which outsiders do not know. Zheng Rong, the Minister of Justice, was a man planted by the prince from the beginning. He has worked hard all the way and now has complete control over the Ministry of Justice. Lu Hao, the Minister of Works, followed the prince only two years ago, and everything was done secretly, and no one knew about it.
Minister of Rites Zhang Zheng and Minister of Personnel Yuan Chenyang are both men of Prime Minister Xu Tian.
Only the Minister of Revenue Lin Qian is still neutral.
Chu Chenfeng looked at it for a long time and put a cross on the word "Ministry of Rites".
Xing Yi understood that the prince was preparing to take action against the Ministry of Rites.
"Have you checked all the information about Zhang Zheng?"
"We have already found out everything. Your Majesty can take action whenever he wants."
Chu Chenfeng nodded and looked towards the Ministry of Revenue, "Has Li Xun not had any contact with anyone from the Lin Mansion since returning to Kyoto?"
Xing Yi was stunned for a moment. "This... I'll check it out right away."
Chu Chenfeng glanced at him with an indifferent look, seeming very dissatisfied.
Xingyi shuddered and sweat broke out on his back. This... The master cares about too many things, even other people's marriage matters. Alas.
"If Li Xun can get in touch with the Ministry of Revenue, we can save a lot of trouble."
Xingyi then realized, yes, if Li Xun could really marry Lin Xuelan from the Lin family, then the Ministry of Revenue, who were not theirs, would also be biased towards them, and that would be even more advantageous in overthrowing the prime minister.
In fact, if Chu Chenfeng really wanted to overthrow Xu Tian, it would be very easy, but he wanted to take this opportunity to clean up the court and ensure that everyone could serve the emperor wholeheartedly in the future.
"I will definitely get it done."
It seems that we have to create more opportunities for Mr. Li. We can't just sit and wait. The girl has been waiting for him for so many years, why can't he take the initiative?
Chu Chenfeng nodded, and without saying anything more, he looked towards the Ministry of Personnel, "This Yuan Chenyang, I still don't understand why such an upright person would side with Xu Tian. Investigate this for me and find out what's going on."
"Yes."
Chu Chenfeng then put down his pen, picked up the cup and drank a sip of tea. Suddenly, his eyebrows slightly raised, "From the palace?"
"Yes, but it's not this year's tea. It's from the past two years."
Chu Chenfeng nodded, not disgusted.
Xingyi finally felt relieved, it seemed that his master was satisfied.
On the other side, Li Mulan and Qingyu went straight back to Li Mansion after meeting Zhang Kun, and happened to see Li Xi, who looked depressed.
When Li Xi saw Li Mulan, he immediately ran over happily, "Sister, where have you and Sister Qingyu been?"
"Let's go out for a walk. Is Xi'er waiting for me here?"
Li Xi scratched his head and said, "Well, I just want to ask my sister where Brother Huo is. I haven't seen him in the past two days."
"Ah, Yuanyuan..." Li Mulan had really forgotten about Huo Yuanruo. This boy was amazing. He hadn't contacted her for two days. It seemed that he was really carefree.
At this moment, Huo Yuanruo was indeed very free and easy. He went out to hang out with Ye Tianyu every day. There was no other way. Liu Feng could not go out, and he could not always stay in the mansion to accompany him. He did not have that patience.
Ye Tianyu was still very supportive. After all, it was rare for Huo Yuanruo to come. In order to show his hospitality, he took him to many places. Today, they came to the largest restaurant in Kyoto, "Lanyue Tower", for dinner.
In fact, this "Lan Yue Tower" is the property of the richest Lin family, that is, the property of Lin Yunfan, the sixth uncle of Huo Yuanruo. Every time Ye Tianyu came, he used the private room used by the Lin family, but today, the private room was gone.
Huo Yuanruo looked at the waiter's embarrassed expression and felt a little angry. "I came here specially to eat Longjing shrimp and lotus glutinous rice chicken today. How come there is no private room? Where is the private room? Who did you give it to?"
Ye Tianyu was the first to react, "But your Second Master is here?"
The waiter nodded immediately, "Yes, the Second Master and a distinguished guest are here, would you two young masters like to go up?"
When Huo Yuanruo heard this, he immediately backed out. How could he forget that his second uncle and sixth uncle were in Kyoto.
