Datang: Dad, I really didn't want to rebel!

Chapter 114 Turning corruption into magic
Chapter 146 Turning corruption into magic
Li Chengqian panicked.

Because he could see that Cheng Yaojin's deep hatred was not a deliberate act, but a burst of resentment from the bottom of his heart.

It's hard to imagine that with Cheng Yaojin's character, how could the former Li Chengqian offend him?
Could it be that Li Chengqian had some unreasonable thoughts about his daughter?
This is impossible. Where did Cheng Yaojin get his daughter?

Could it be that he has some thoughts about his sons?

Thinking of Su Han saying that "he" had taken care of a happy child in Taichang Temple earlier, he got goosebumps all over his body.

"Humph!"

Cheng Yaojin snorted coldly, his expression softened, "Forget it, because you have made so many contributions to Datang, I won't smoke you!"

The corners of Li Chengqian's mouth twitched, "Thank you Uncle Cheng for not smoking."

"I don't know when His Majesty will ask you to return to Qianzhou, and I don't know when you will come back next time." Cheng Yaojin said with emotion.

Li Chengqian lowered his head and remained silent.

Cheng Yaojin said to himself: "When you were born, I held you in my arms. Before you know it, it has been more than 20 years..."

Li Chengqian still lowered his head. He wanted to say that he had only been here for more than two years and had never experienced those heart-warming scenes.

But when he raised his head and glanced at Cheng Yaojin's expression, he wisely closed his mouth.

He had been interrupted from his beautiful fantasies many times, but he knew very well how annoying this feeling was.

A kind person like himself would definitely not get angry, but not necessarily Cheng Yaojin. With his temper, he wouldn't be able to cut into pieces, but his nose and face would be swollen.

Soon, after reminiscing, Cheng Yaojin drank a glass of wine, his expression changed instantly, and he said with a narrow smile: "Speaking of which, boy, from a duke who was dispatched to the current King of Guizhou, holding great power, the limelight is the same for a while." , Throughout the ages, who can have such an experience, you kid can be regarded as turning decay into magic!"

Li Chengqian looked at him in surprise, "Uncle Cheng still knows how to turn decay into magic?"

"... "

Cheng Yaojin's expression froze, and then he sneered and said, "Why, do you have a problem with the old man's education level?"

"This...no...no..."

"But now the old man has an opinion!"

Li Chengqian smiled bitterly, and finally knew what it meant to say that misfortune came from the mouth.

Now he remembered that this Cheng Yaojin was the Cheng Yaojin in history, not the one in the novel.

I heard that Lao Cheng's ancestor was Cheng Yu, one of Boss Cao's five great advisers during the Three Kingdoms period.

Moreover, Lao Cheng did not come from selling private salt. He was born into a wealthy family and was a proper official generation.

His great-grandfather, Cheng Xing Beiqi, served as Yanzhou Sima, his grandfather Cheng Zhe, Beiqi Jinzhou Sima, and Cheng Yaojin's father, Cheng Lou, served as Jeju Dazhongzheng. So the Cheng family is definitely a Shandong gentry.

Cheng Yaojin himself was also very capable. From the time he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin named Cheng Yaojin the third commander of the left army because of his reputation. Later, because of his repeated extraordinary achievements, he gradually became the Duke of Su.

The change of Xuanwumen was the first to bear the brunt, opening up a broad road for himself.

In the first year of Zhenguan, Cheng Yaojin was appointed as the governor of Lu, Rong and Rong prefectures and the governor of Luzhou.

In the seventh year of Zhenguan, he was appointed as the general of the left leader. In the eighth year of Zhenguan, he served as the governor of Yuanzhou.

In the 11th year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin's seventh son, Li Yun, was inspected as the chief history officer of the Jiang Palace. In June, Cheng Yaojin, a feudal hero of Li Shimin, was awarded the title of governor of Puzhou and was renamed Lu Guogong. He was actually granted a city of [-] households and was hereditary to his descendants.

In general, Cheng Yaojin's official career was absolutely smooth sailing, and his relationship with Li Shimin was even more enviable to others.

When he entered the Tai Chi Palace, he didn't need to report, he could enter whenever he wanted, and he could get out whenever he wanted, and even often hooked up with Li Shimin.

It is precisely because the relationship between the two is so good that Cheng Yaojin is not submissive to the prince like others.

What a joke, even Li Shimin calls him brothers and sisters, what are these princes in his eyes?
Being able to hold a high position without being suspected by the emperor is not something everyone can do.

The reason why Cheng Yaojin was able to do this was because he was...a bastard?
There must be many reasons, but Li Chengqian's deepest feeling is that this old guy is a jerk.

Why do you feel this way?

Because the old bastard was putting himself on his shoulders and going round and round like a merry-go-round.

"Uncle Cheng...forgive...forgive..."

Li Chengqian kept turning, and the begging sound in his mouth became smaller and smaller...

Early the next morning, Li Chengqian woke up shaking his head.

Exactly the same actions, exactly the same scene...

Li Chengqian smiled wryly, he lived a good life... It has been two days since he came to Chang'an, but he has never even been to Qianwang's mansion.

For two days, apart from going to Tai Chi Palace, he was a guest at Cheng Mansion.

"Wake up!"

Cheng Yaojin's iron tower-like figure appeared at the door. He looked at Li Chengqian and said lightly: "Your Majesty has issued a decree. After one month, the princes will return to their fiefdoms."

"One month?" Li Chengqian took a deep breath, his heart felt cold.

After only two days in Chang'an, he was tossed half to death. If he stayed for a longer period of time, wouldn't he be swallowed until there were no bones left?
"What? You don't think you are young?" Cheng Yaojin sneered, "According to the rules, the prince must return to the fief immediately to report on his duties, and he is not allowed to stay in Chang'an. His Majesty's ability to keep you in Chang'an for a month is already breaking the rules! "

"... "

Li Chengqian looked at him, wanting to cry but without tears.

Which of your eyes can see that I am reluctant to part with you? I clearly wish I could go back sooner.

Cheng Yaojin said again: "That's right, the [-] guan coins that His Majesty rewarded you have already been delivered. The eunuch knows that you are in Cheng's residence, so he sent the [-] guan coins over."

"... "

Li Chengqian opened his mouth, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

What kind of thing is Cheng Yaojin? In just a few contacts, Li Chengqian has already figured out his temperament.

It can be said that this old bastard is a lawless bastard, the title of the devil in the world, but countless people gave him the title with tears in his eyes.

Fifty thousand guan is a huge sum of money. Li Chengqian only spent tens of thousands of guan to transform the entire Qianzhou.

At this moment, for Li Chengqian, the [-] pens can do many things, and for Cheng Yaojin...it can also do many things.

A person with a moral bottom line cannot do such a thing as forcibly robbing others for rewards, but it is obvious that Cheng Yaojin is one of the few people in Datang who has no moral bottom line.

The reason why Li Chengqian felt this way was because when he and Cheng Yaojin met, he felt that there was something to talk about.

If Li Chengqian can have this kind of impulse, it means that the moral level of the two should be on the same level.

He thinks that his moral level is not very high, and he has some ink in his stomach, so he can be classified as a "gentle scum".

And people like Cheng Yaojin don't have much ink in their stomachs, so they are just "scum".

His moral level is lower than his own. A wicked guy, if he encounters so much money, he will become greedy if he doesn't keep it all.

If Cheng Yaojin forcibly swallowed his [-] yuan, Li Chengqian might not get any of it back.

Cheng Yaojin seemed to see the uneasiness in Li Chengqian's heart, so he stroked his beard and said, "Stinky boy, I don't want to steal money from a junior. The [-] guan is in the yard, and you can take it away at any time."

Li Chengqian was overjoyed, and his favorability towards Cheng Yaojin was rising. This demon king is not too bad, at least he still has a trace of humanity left.
