trustee of the gods

Li Chengqian couldn't understand, how could Li Yi, who looked so smart, lose his mind on which side to turn to.

He actually wanted to bet on both sides, and he wanted the benefits of both sides.

Chapter 141 The Second Prince's Wrath

"My lord, I have met His Highness the Crown Prince." Li Chengze knelt down as he spoke three steps at a time.

Li Chengqian quickly helped him up, "Second brother, there are no outsiders here, why do you and I see outsiders like this?" His tone seemed to be complaining that Li Chengze was alienating himself, treating himself as a prince, not a younger brother.

"Why did the prince come here today?" Li Chengze stood up slowly, but still lowered his head and cupped his hands.

Li Chengqian had an inexplicable smile, he knew that Li Chengze was guarding against himself from wooing Li Yi.

But the more wary he is, the more he wants to win him over.

It can also be seen from this point that Li Yi probably holds a lot of weight in Li Chengze's heart.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian deliberately increased his voice, and shouted into the courtyard, "Mr. Li helped me that day, so naturally I want to thank you today."

"Didn't the crown prince always dislike mixing with these peasants?" Li Chengze seemed to have heard something serious.

Li Chengqian frowned slightly. What Li Chengze said was right, because he was a prince, and the people who gathered around him were often from aristocratic families.

And because Li Chengze is not a crown prince, there are few children from aristocratic families to seek refuge.

As for Li Hongcheng, he is a son of the royal family, so he is naturally different from those other aristocratic families.

If Li Chengqian really wanted to win over a person like Li Yi who had no status and background and had conflicts with his family's children, it would be fine if he wanted to win him over as a follower at will.

If you really go all out to win over, maybe even with the other party's extremely high position, I am afraid that you will be opposed by many people under your command.

Li Chengze didn't have such a problem at all, he could win over Li Yi at will, even at the beginning he said that Li Yi could give him the position of prime minister by assisting him to ascend the throne.

It is absolutely impossible for Li Chengqian to say such words, after all, the current Prime Minister Lin Ruopu is still on his side.

If he ascends to the throne, the next prime minister will not be selected from those poor families, but will inevitably be selected from those aristocratic families.

"That's not too much trouble for my second brother." Although Li Chengze was very upset in his heart, he still had a very gentle smile on his face.

"I'm here to pay a special visit today." Li Chengze said to a servant who opened the door inside.

After the servant opened the door, he first knelt down to salute the two of them, and after hearing what the second prince said, he turned to look at the prince.

Li Chengqian frowned, so what if you, Li Chengze, seized the opportunity, these are the people I arranged to come in, can you use it?

"Also inform me that I'm here today to thank you." Li Chengqian glanced at Li Chengze with some complacency.

But he didn't tell the servant not to report that Li Chengze also came to visit.

Li Chengqian knows that the smarter a person is, the less he likes others to fool him.

Li Yi's talent is the only one he has ever seen in his life. Instead of trying to deceive such a person, it is better to treat him directly and sincerely.

"Young master, the crown prince and the second prince are here to visit. Look"

The servant didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was obvious, which was to ask Li Yi which one to call in first, or to call in both.

It's not easy for him as a servant to decide on this point, so he can only leave the choice to Li Yi.

Li Yi felt very interesting now, Li Chengqian and Li Chengze both came to visit him.

"No hurry, just hang out with the two of them for a while, and I'll eat first."

The servant was obviously stunned when he heard Li Yi's words. It seemed to him that it was a great honor for the prince or the second prince to visit others.

Shouldn't Li Yi go out to greet him in fear and fear now?He even wanted to let Li Chengze and Li Chengqian hang out for a while.

"What's wrong? Can't you?" Li Yi asked the servant the prince had arranged for him.

"You are the master, you can do whatever you say." The servant replied immediately after realizing it.

Before the prince asked him to come, he said that no matter what happened, he would listen to Li Yi. If he couldn't do this job well, he would be in bad luck.

It took more than an hour to eat this breakfast, and if Li Yi ate another hour, it would be lunch.

But this is not important, the main purpose is to show off the second prince and prince.

Li Chengqian has been waiting anxiously outside. He has been the prince since he was born, and he is not treated like a star by other people wherever he goes.

Except for his own father, other people have always waited for him, and this is the first time for him to wait for others.

But seeing that Li Chengze didn't leave, Li Chengqian forcibly held back and waited in front of the door.

Although Li Chengze was also anxious in his heart, he still didn't show it, he just looked at Li Chengqian with a smile.

At least on the surface, Li Chengze seems to be many times stronger than Li Chengqian in terms of nourishing qi.

"Let someone invite the prince in!" Li Yi reclined on the chair, and ordered to the servant outside the door.

"His Royal Highness, my lord, please come in." The voice of the servant was trembling when he said this. Li Yi was so bold that he didn't have the slightest respect for the prince.

The prince came to visit, so it's fine if he doesn't go out to greet him.He actually stayed in the house alone and asked the prince to take the initiative to meet him.

It is simply unheard of, there are not many people in this world that Prince Qing can take the initiative to meet.

Li Yi is definitely one of them now. Although Li Chengqian waited for a long time, he was anxious and slightly unhappy.

He was surprised when he heard Li Yi call him in, but he still suppressed the anger in his heart and walked slowly into the door.

Li Chengze frowned deeply, no matter how good he was at cultivating Qi, he couldn't help it at this moment.

Why did Li Yi call the prince in first? You have to know that it was Li Yi who came first, or Li Yi who was drawn in first, but why did he call the prince in first.

He could hardly hold back the desire to kick open the door in front of him, rushed in and pulled Li Yi by the collar to ask him.

After taking a deep breath for two seconds, he clenched his fists and lowered them.

The anger dissipated in his heart, Li Chengze couldn't help smiling in his heart.How many years have I not been so angry, I can't remember.

Ever since he had the same status as the prince, but not the same status as the prince, he has been cautious all day long, hiding everything in his heart, and almost never revealing it to anyone.

Even his own mother, Li Chengze has to hide it from her, just because he is worried that she will worry about him.

Li Chengze walked to the side slowly, closed his eyes, no longer angry in his heart, just kept thinking.

When Li Chengqian walked into the courtyard, he saw Li Yi sitting in the main seat in the center of the room.

"Sit." Li Yi pointed to the stool beside him with a calm expression.

Li Chengqian quickly sat on it, then looked at Li Yi, not knowing what the other party was going to do next.

"Drink tea."

Li Chengqian picked up the tea cup that was placed aside, and took a sip.

"Why is Your Highness the Prince free to visit me today?"

Li Chengqian slowly put down the teacup in his hand, "Mr. Duomeng reminded me that day, so that Chengqian would not make a big mistake. I came here today to thank you specially."

Chapter 142 I can't bear it

Li Yi had a faint smile on his face, "Your Highness really came here today just to thank me?"

Li Chengqian knew that Li Yi was more intelligent than a monster, and that this kind of person would be exhaustive in plotting anything, and he would definitely see the real purpose of his visit today, so there was no need for him to hide it.

"Mr. has an incomparable talent. Chengqian came here today to ask Mr. to help me ascend to the high position." He stood up and took a step back before saluting.

It is naturally impossible for Li Yi to accept this gift from him. If he really decides to go out to assist Li Chengqian, he will accept this gift if he accepts it.

But Li Yi didn't decide to assist him at all, maybe he might find a way to kill Li Chengqian in the future, and he couldn't accept this gift at all.

"Your Highness doesn't have to be like this." Li Yi held Li Chengqian's hand as he spoke, preventing him from bending over.

"I won't help His Highness, and His Highness can rest assured that I won't help others either."

Li Chengqian was a little disappointed knowing that Li Yi would not help him, but when he found out about his second brother, he felt a little relieved.

Li Yi's previous state of being exhausted and confident in facing everything put him under too much pressure.

Li Chengqian couldn't even guarantee that if Li Yi went to assist the second prince, his position as the prince would be stable or not.

"However, I do have two things I want to say to His Highness. I don't know if I should say it or not." Li Yi looked at Li Chengqian, and he knew that once he said these words, Li Chengqian would definitely say that the husband has something to say, but it doesn't matter.

"Mr. has something to say, but it's okay to say it." Li Chengqian said.

Li Yi smiled, and it seemed that his guess was quite accurate.

"You are the prince, but why are you the prince?"

Li Chengqian pondered for a few seconds after listening, "This is naturally because of the father."

"Yes, since His Majesty asked you to be the crown prince, if there is no problem, he should not change. You don't have to worry about the second prince. If His Majesty wanted him to be the crown prince, he would not have chosen you in the first place." Li Yi said absolutely To be honest, in the original book, Emperor Qing always wanted the crown prince to sit on the throne.

Li Chengqian's character experience guarantees that he can be a successful king and lead the country to prosper, but if he is allowed to expand the territory, there will be some shortcomings.

Emperor Qing planned to take advantage of his youth to unify the world, and then pass the seat to Li Chengqian to let him govern the world well.

Although Li Chengqian understood this point, he still couldn't figure it out, since his father wanted to let him succeed, why should he give the same position as himself to another person.

"Why does His Majesty give the second prince the same status? It means that although he wants you to succeed him, he still feels that you lack experience. The second prince is a goal of your training."

After Li Chengqian listened to it, he seemed to suddenly realize that many things are lost to the authorities but clear to the bystanders.

He now knew that his second brother might have been promoted by his father on purpose, but Li Chengqian thought of more, if he didn't satisfy his father, would he be replaced?

"You don't have to worry too much. Since His Majesty chose you, it means that he won't change easily. As long as you don't do too much. For example, brothers can kill each other. It's fine for the prince to be the prince honestly. .”

Li Yi casually took a sip of his tea. In fact, what he said was quite transgressive, but no one would know. The only person who wanted to know about this matter was probably Li Chengqian, except himself.

Others only know about Li Chengqian's secret talks, but no one will know what they talked about.

After Li Chengqian listened to it, he also wanted to understand a lot in his mind. Li Yi's words were indeed not unreasonable. If his father wanted to change people, he would have done so long ago.

Not changing people now means that he won't change people easily. Just like what Li Yi said, he just needs to do what a prince should do.

But if I want to do something to the second prince in the future, I'm afraid I'll be in a lot of trouble. If I don't do anything to the second prince, if I do what I should do honestly, then ascending to the throne should not be a problem.

But Li Chengqian thought of more in a flash, he didn't do anything to Li Chengze, but what if Li Chengze did something to him?

Li Yi didn't know whether Li Chengqian had listened to his words, but it didn't matter whether he listened or not.

Li Yi was just fooling Li Chengqian, it would be best if he succeeded, but if he failed, that's not a problem.

If both Li Chengqian and Li Chengze can be kept on hold, Li Yi will undoubtedly save a lot of effort in doing things.

If both of them give up the idea of ​​killing Fan Xian, Li Yi only needs to get rid of the eldest princess to basically guarantee the completion of this commission.

If no one kills Fan Xian, Teng Zijing will not stand up for Fan Xian. If he does not stand up for Fan Xian, he will not die. If he does not die, he will be able to fulfill his commission.

After Li Chengqian heard it, he felt that Li Yi was unfathomable. This kind of person can figure out what others think just by sitting here.

Judging from the current general situation, if I survived honestly, there should be no problem with succeeding to the throne.

But what about Li Chengze?After I succeed to the throne, I can't kill him. If I kill him, it will ruin my reputation even more. I'm afraid I won't be able to get rid of the reputation of brother killing.

Li Chengqian planned that it would be best to keep everything as before, but he needed to observe Li Chengze carefully and find out that he had done something out of order, so he had to be caught and brought down at once.

Li Yi didn't know what Li Chengqian was thinking, but it didn't matter anymore, he had finished speaking.

Whether he listens or not is his business, and he has absolutely no choice.It's okay if he is honest, if Li Chengqian wants to learn from Li Chengze, he is ready to kill people.

I have to find a way to bring down the two of them, and it's best to solve it at once, without leaving them a chance to do it.

"Thank you sir for your guidance." Li Chengqian stood up and saluted again as he spoke, but Li Yi didn't dodge once, but just turned his body slightly, which was regarded as a half-respect.

"His Royal Highness, if you have nothing else to do, please go back." Li Yi started to push people away, and closed his eyes to rest his mind and stopped talking.

Li Chengqian knew that no matter how hard he stayed here, Li Yi would not say anything to him. Since the other party didn't want to help him, there was no need for him to stalk him now.

Li Chengze was still waiting anxiously by himself, and immediately opened his eyes when he heard the sound of the door opening, and saw Li Chengqian walking out of the room with a happy face.

"Second brother is still waiting here?" Li Chengqian said softly, looking at Li Chengze like a spring breeze.

Then he left, but walked very slowly, observing whether Li Yi let Li Chengze into the house.

When the courtyard door was closed again, there was no sound, Li Chengze still sat outside and waited.

A quarter of an hour passed, two quarters of an hour passed, and an hour later, Li Chengze couldn't bear it anymore.

He didn't know what Li Yiying meant, he just called Li Chengqian to go in, but now it's been a long time, and he doesn't even have the slightest intention to let him in.

Li Chengze couldn't bear it no matter what, and let someone kick the door open.
