Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Li Xin thought about it seriously for a while, and finally remembered where this Zheng Bowen came from.

On the first day when the first floor of Changchang first opened, someone made trouble in the store and had to drag the waiter to accompany the wine. Li Xin couldn't stand this kind of grievance, so he asked Zhao Ke to send someone to break this bully's leg on the spot. The troublemaker has always claimed to be Zheng Taoyuan, the son of Zheng Bowen, the servant of the Ministry of Rites.

Li Xin has always looked down on such a second-generation ancestor. I don't have the slightest ability, so I know how to cause trouble outside, and I still use the banner of my father everywhere, as if I am afraid that my father will not fall fast enough, it is really a bad character, a bad IQ, the whole thing is useless. It is far from a good young man with ideals like him.

As the saying goes, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Seeing Zheng Taoyuan's character, Zheng Bowen's character is not much better. Some time ago, Li Xin wondered why this Minister of Rites was so cowardly, his son's legs were broken, and he was still a coward at home, and he didn't even fart. He didn't expect to come out like this today.

However, if there is a grudge, there is a grudge. Li Xin still sees this matter very clearly - this is not Zheng Bowen's personal behavior. Behind him must be the Lu family, and his behavior must reflect it to some extent. According to the will of the Lu family, it may not even be the Lu family. After all, Li Xin's Changyilou not only affected the operation of Yixiaolou, but every restaurant in Chang'an City, one counts as one, were all impacted by the membership system to varying degrees. Behind these restaurants, there are many not to mention big people, at least not small people.

As the saying goes, cutting off a person's fortune is like killing one's parents. Li Xin became a thorn in the side of many people almost overnight, and it was no surprise that someone jumped out and fired at him like now. Zheng Bowen is just a knife pushed out by these people. Of course, he himself should be quite happy to be the knife. After all, his son with a broken leg is still lying at home, so it's not easy, so how can he not hate Li Xin?

It's certainly Zheng Taoyuan's fault for molesting and teasing women, but is it necessary to be so ruthless?

Of course Zheng Bowen really wanted to grab Li Xin by the collar and question him like this. But he can't. Because he has to behave upright, so as not to be attacked by others as revenge. This is the wisdom of being an official. No matter what the nature of the matter is, superficial articles should always be written more gorgeously, just like the crime he is reading at the moment.

This is a stinky and long article like a village old lady's foot wrap, at least in Li Xin's eyes. Although he said that he had received Chinese education for several years, he was limited to memorizing the required passages for the college entrance examination and some poems or ancient prose that were memorized purely out of interest and the need for pretense.

If you really want him to understand some parallel prose, or seriously read an ancient prose that he has never read before, at most he can understand the meaning by 50% or 60%. For this, I have to hold the original text in my hand and read it two or three times, and read the key sentences five, six, seven or eight times! If you expect him to understand Zheng Bowen's crimes in using all kinds of advanced vocabulary and embellishing all kinds of gorgeous rhetoric in this large paragraph just by listening to his ears, then you are afraid that you really think highly of Li Xin's language level.

All in all, after Zheng Bowen read the crimes in his hand up and down, Li Xin could only roughly understand the meaning of 20-30% of them: firstly, as a prince, Li Xin secretly managed the first floor of the building, doing business and business affairs, which was disrespectful to the royal family; secondly, Competing with the people for profit, affecting people's livelihood, and causing many restaurants to start to run poorly; finally, and most importantly, Zheng Bowen said that Li Xin cheated people out of money with rhetoric and amassed a large amount of wealth, acting suspiciously.

Although Zheng Bowen didn't say it explicitly, everyone knew that what he called "suspicious" actually meant "possible suspicion of treason." That's his shrewdness.

Zheng Bowen clearly knew that with Li Xin's status and Li Shimin's admiration for him, no one would be able to rebel against him. It just has to be heavy enough. Therefore, Zheng Bowen chose not to speak directly about the matter of treason. Anyway, no one will believe it. However, that doesn't mean he can't use language to hint. No matter what, as long as his hints are in place, some people will think in this direction. His purpose has been achieved.

After a long time, Zheng Bowen finally finished reading his foot wrap, oh no, the article, and then rolled up the article casually.

Li Shimin asked majesticly: "King Chu, did you hear Mr. Zheng's words clearly?"

"Return to Your Majesty," Li Xin replied without hesitation, "No."

"Then you do it..." Li Shimin had already planned to continue asking Li Xinxiang how to explain these charges, but unexpectedly Li Xin said "I heard you clearly" but "No".

Zheng Bowen was about to explode. His voice was almost smoking, now Li Xin said "No" to him, did you hear it clearly?
