Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream
Chapter 326 Suppressing the Li Family
As expected, an imperial censor recorded in a thick book the incident of Li Fengyan seizing the musician and severely injuring Li Yingtai, accusing Li Debing of allowing his family's sons to do evil and bully others in the capital. After reading the memorial with ups and downs, Your Majesty suppressed the thick booklet. After leaving the court, he summoned Li Debing to Ganlu Palace.
Lord Li, the Minister of Revenue, was also present. His Majesty first served as Lu Zhonglian, and then asked Li Debing to strictly control the behavior of his relatives. There are censors in the capital at any time and anywhere, so he must not let his family affect his official career.
He then asked about the official business of Li Bingsong and his father.
Although the questions were simple, Li Debing broke out in a sweat.
He understood what His Majesty meant. He did not want his brother and his family to stay in the capital.
Maybe they are afraid that the Li family will become more powerful.
Li Debing arrived home and called Li Yuyan and Li Bingsong to the study to discuss the matter, and told them what His Majesty meant.
"Your Majesty...are you going to start suppressing the Li family with all your strength?" Li Bingsong asked curiously.
Although it is not obvious, there is indeed such a trend.
Li Bingsong suddenly didn't want to stay in the capital to be an official. He didn't want to be a high-ranking official. Although he had his brothers in the capital, he had to be cautious and not make any wrong steps. Life was so tiring.
Maybe if you're not careful, something bad might happen, and eventually drag down the entire Li family.
After Li Bingsong thought it through, he immediately found an excuse to leave the study, leaving Li Debing and his son behind.
"Father, does His Majesty intend to let us hide?" Li Yuyan asked. In his eyes, the emperor was a very wise man. The ones they could rely on most now were him and his father and the Wei family. The Li and Wei families were in-laws, so even if His Majesty really wanted to suppress it with all his strength, he would not do it at this time.
"Your Majesty's health is getting worse." Li Debing said softly: "I saw his face was pale today."
Therefore, before the new monarch ascends the throne, Your Majesty must not allow any party to have the power to threaten the new monarch.
Li Yuyan understood His Majesty's approach, "Suppress it with all your strength, and then promote him. Even if His Majesty is ill, his mind is not confused."
"It's all for the prince." Li Debing said.
"Father, I will submit a memorial to His Majesty tomorrow and request a transfer to a distant place." Li Yuyan said.
Your Majesty actually hopes that they will become lone ministers.
……
Regardless of whether His Majesty's thoughts were the same as they guessed, Li Yuyan did not want his uncle's family to stay in the capital, especially his cousin Li Fengyan. Not to mention that his temperament would bring bad things to the Li family, just the look in his eyes when he saw Bingyan made Li Yuyan want to attack several times.
Fortunately, Li Fengyan has been very afraid of a younger brother like Li Yuyan since he was a child. He knew what would happen if he angered Li Yuyan, so he did not dare to do anything inappropriate towards Wei Bingyan.
Li Bingsong took his eldest son to apologize to the Minister of Revenue, and at the same time made it clear that it was the singer who was willing to go back with Li Fengyan, and it was not him who took it by force.
Li Yingtai, the son of the Minister of Revenue, heard that he was the one who was suffering because of his meddling in other people's affairs. He just sighed and said that one can never know a person's heart through his appearance. He clearly saw that the young lady's eyes were misty with tears, so how could he be happy about that?
The Minister of Revenue, who had wanted to vent his anger for his son, actually accepted Li Fengyan's apology after hearing the explanation.
There was no further development on this matter.
A few days later, Li Bingsong left the capital with his family.
Old Mrs. Li didn't want to leave at first, but when she saw that Mrs. Li didn't even say a word to keep her and took the initiative to help her arrange her needs on the way, she took a chance and left right after her eldest son.
"...I heard from others that Li Yuan is a very petty person. How come he just let my uncle's family off so easily this time?" The Li family finally quieted down. After Wei Bingyan and Li Yuyan had dinner, they strolled in the courtyard and talked about this matter.
"Since Your Majesty has suppressed this matter, if Li Yuan continues to hold on to it, it would be a lack of mercy to Your Majesty," Li Yuyan said.
Wei Bingyan frowned, "Are you really asking His Majesty to transfer you far away?"
"Only one of me and my father can stay in the capital. Your Majesty's suppression may not be real suppression. He just wants to keep the hearts of the ministers for the Sixth Prince." Li Yuyan suddenly said.
Now that Your Majesty has suppressed the Li family, the Sixth Prince will value the Li family in the future. Li Yuyan will naturally be grateful to the Sixth Prince and be loyal to him. Your Majesty has thought long-term.
"Where do you want to be transferred to?" Wei Bingyan asked.
An unfathomable and brilliant smile flashed across Li Yuyan's lips, "Baiyue City."
……
The next day, Wei Bingyan went to the Wei family to see the old man.
In his previous life, Old Master Wei was no longer alive at this time. The only reason he could live to this day was because Wei Bingyan always watched over him, strictly forbade him to drink, and often went to take his pulse.
Ever since that incident, Old Master Wei has been living a reclusive life. Apart from the old uncle who occasionally comes to accompany him fishing, the old master hardly ever sees other guests.
Although there are many people who want to come and see him.
Many people discovered from that incident that the Wei family was still well off and not as destitute as they appeared to be.
The Wei family is not in decline at all; their position is more secure than before.
When Wei Bingyan appeared, Old Master Wei was practicing Tai Chi.
After listening to Wei Bingyan's talk about Li Yuyan's idea, Old Master Wei nodded in approval, "It's better to go out and see the world than to stay in the capital. You should go with me."
"Grandpa, is it true as the official said that His Majesty has begun to fear our two families?" Wei Bingyan asked. She was very worried that the Wei and Li families would follow in the footsteps of the Li and Linghu families. Even if they had no intention of rebelling, they would be forced to do things they did not want to do.
Old Master Wei smiled and said, "Don't think too much. Just do what you need to do. Speculation will only create more suspicion. Just believe that His Majesty trusts you and that you have no other thoughts, and nothing will change."
"That's right. Thinking too much will only bring trouble to yourself." Wei Bingyan said with a smile.
After leaving the old man, Wei Bingyan went to visit Xiao in the main room. Xiao was listening to the responses from the directors of each house.
When he heard Wei Bingyan was coming, he put the matter aside and said, "Your old lady didn't question you, did she? I heard from others that your cousin got into trouble a few days ago."
"My mother-in-law is here. The old lady didn't question me, but Li Fengyan..." Wei Bingyan described his behavior. "Fortunately, he left the capital, otherwise it would be troublesome."
Xiao frowned upon hearing this, "We are safe in the capital, why are you being transferred far away again?"
Wei Bingyan said, "Master is still young."
