The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Then, Li Fu looked at Old Man Liu.

"How did you divide the property between the two children?" Li Fu asked.

"The youngest son has 20 mu of permanent land, and the two sons have 10 mu each. There is nothing left in the family. When the youngest son dies in the future, this old house will be given to the old man." Old Man Liu said: "When their mother was sick, it was mostly the eldest son and his wife who took care of her every day, so we gave them more subsidies."

In addition to the 20 mu of land, their family cultivated the land rented to them by Li Fu's family. Therefore, every year they had to pay rent to Li Fu, the master.

"Such a distribution is reasonable." Li Yuan beside him stroked his beard and nodded.

"Then what are you arguing about?" Li Fu looked at the two and asked.

"When my mother was sick but not yet dead, I also took care of her financially and physically." Liu Er said, "We even paid a lot for my mother's funeral."

"So you think you lost out by giving this old house to the old family?" Li Fu asked.

"Then the ten acres of land that father gave you are better than the ten acres that father gave me." The eldest brother was not to be outdone.

"Then I gave you this house in the end."

"I am the eldest brother. Isn't it natural for the eldest son in the family to inherit the property?"

"Then when something happened at home, did I pay less money or less effort?"

Seeing that Liu Da and Liu Er were arguing again, the old man Liu stood in the middle to persuade them.

"Enough." Li Fu stopped the farce.

"You think your father left the house to your eldest brother, and you think your father left the good land to your younger brother."

Li Fu looked at the two and said, "If you both think the other person has good things, why don't you exchange them?"

"You always look at the grass on the other side and think that what others have is good."

"Why can't you look down at what you have and live a down-to-earth life?"

"Although your eldest brother can inherit this house in the future, it will only be when your father dies in the future that this house will be his."

"How good can the ten acres of land your younger brother got be? They are all lands on the same farm, how bad can they be?"

"Brothers, because For this matter, you made such a fuss, aren't you afraid of being laughed at."

"To put it bluntly, these are your father's things, your father can give them to whoever he wants, do you have the right to argue?"

"Don't talk about taking care of your parents in their old age, that's what you should do. If your parents hadn't raised you two brothers, wouldn't you be standing here shouting today? Your parents raised you to this age, gave you wives and children, and they still feel sorry for you?"

"If you really think so, there is the Wei River next to the manor, if you don't want to live, you can just jump into the river, what a shame."

Li Fu caught them and scolded them, and then seemed to see through them.

"Control yourself and your own house, your father has done a good job of treating everyone equally, why are you still making a fuss? Do you really have no face for your family?"

Liu Da and Liu Er were scolded by Li Fu and dared not say a word.

Because in this way, they couldn't say anything.

Looking up at the old house, if the old man dies in the future, it will be a problem whether the house can still be lived in, and whether it can be taken over is still a problem.

As for the ten acres of land, whether it is good or bad, it will not affect the yield of the land. In the future, the farm will have to build a canal, and it will not matter if it is far or near the Wei River.

There is a lot of noise here. When Li Fu came here, people from the farm came here, all wanting to watch the excitement.

Li Fu asked Lao Zhao to drive everyone away.

What's so good about this kind of excitement? In the future, when these two sons are unfilial to Old Man Liu, they will watch the excitement and poke his back.

"Old Man Liu." Li Fu shouted to Old Man Liu.

"My dear." Old Man Liu came forward with his hands folded.

"You can divide it however you want. If they dare to complain, and if they are unfilial to you as their father in the future, they will be sent to the government directly." Li Fu said, "Today, I am just standing here to curse a few words. If I really meet the government, I really want to see how the government handles unfilial sons."

Liu Da and Liu Er stood there, not daring to say a word.

"Old Zhao, you stay and watch them deal with this matter." Li Fu told Old Zhao.

"Yes, my lord." Old Zhao responded.

Liu Laohan asked Li Fu to come over, firstly because he really couldn't make up his mind, and secondly, he also wanted Li Fu to come as a witness.

Now that Li Fu has made the final decision, Liu Laohan will do it. If his two sons have any problems in this regard in the future, they can't avoid Li Fu.

And Li Fu's meaning is very clearIndeed, if they continue to make a fuss, it would be unfilial and they would be punished by the government.

Liu Laohan’s family only has these things. No matter how they divide it, it is just these things. Do Liu Da and Liu Er want to force their father to death?

If that is the case, Li Fu will really send them to the government and beat them to death.

On the way back, Li Yuan was silent all the way.

It seems that he thought of his two sons from Liu Laohan’s division of the family.

Now the relationship between the East Palace and the Qin Wang Mansion has reached the point where fire and water cannot coexist.

It was late, so Li Yuan and Li Xiaogong returned directly to Chang'an.

At night, Li Yuan was awakened by the noise outside.

"What is the noise outside?" Li Yuan asked the eunuch guarding the palace.

"Your Majesty, someone from the Qin Wang Mansion came and said that His Royal Highness Qin Wang was seriously ill and dying." The eunuch bowed and said.

"What?" Li Yuan suddenly lost all his sleepiness, threw off the quilt and got off the bed, stepped barefoot on the wooden floor in the hall, and hurriedly walked out two steps.

The eunuch quickly put on clothes for Li Yuan and helped him put on boots.

The people from the Qin Palace were called to the palace.

"You said that the Qin King was seriously ill and dying, what is going on?" Li Yuan asked.

"Your Majesty, in the evening, someone from the East Palace sent a letter saying that the Crown Prince invited the Qin King and the Qi King to the East Palace for a drink, but after drinking halfway, the Qin King vomited blood and fell into a coma. Seeing this, the King of Huai'an quickly sent the Qin King back to the Qin Palace and asked the imperial physician to treat him overnight. The imperial physician said that the Qin King was poisoned. At present, the imperial physician is still in the Qin Palace and is doing his best to save him."

The people from the Qin Palace told all the causes and consequences like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

Li Yuan sat on the couch, eyes wide open, full of disbelief.

Why is it so! Why is it so!

"Go! Go to the Qin Palace." Li Yuan said.

"Yes." The eunuch beside Li Yuan responded.

Li Yuan went to the Qin Palace overnight.

He was afraid that if the Qin King really died of poisoning, he would not be able to see his son for the last time.

At this moment, the lights in the East Palace were also bright.
