Dressed as a family of cannon fodder, the villain brother is busy opening up wasteland

The sudden return of Wen Xiuyi and the third princess made Wenchang Hou's mansion lively. Aunt Zeng and Aunt Shi were even more happy and surrounded Xiao Wenjing, full of pampering.

The third princess felt helpless when she looked at her little daughter. With so many people spoiling her, she didn't know how arrogant she would become in the future. She had to keep a close eye on her to make sure she didn't grow crooked.

In the imperial study, when the emperor heard that Li Yi was back and was waiting for the summons at the palace gate, he ordered people to be brought in quickly.

When he got close, Li Yi saluted respectfully.

After not seeing each other for several months, the emperor felt that his eldest nephew's temperament had become more and more calm. Hey, why wasn't he his son?

Otherwise, is it possible to pass the throne to a nephew?

But I still have many sons, I'm afraid...

Hey.

The emperor pondered for a long time, took one last look at his nephew kneeling in front of the palace, and sighed deeply.

"No gifts."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Yi stood up and began to report back on the flood in Linzhou.

The oral description is almost the same as what was written in the note sent by Li Yi, except that the oral description is more detailed.

The emperor also asked a few questions and was very impressed with his handling of the matter. There was no need to practice this, and he would be able to take on any major position if he was directly thrown into it.

But this kid just told him that he had no ambition and just wanted to be an idle prince like his father.

It's downright irritating.

"Are there any other gains from this trip to Linzhou?" the emperor asked.

Li Yi saluted: "Back to Your Majesty, I brought something back from Linzhou. The people of Linzhou asked me to give it to Your Majesty."

"Oh? What is it?" The emperor was curious about something. After all, Li Yi had never mentioned it before.

Li Yi got the emperor's permission and asked Deshun to lead someone to bring up a long box that was as tall as a person.

The emperor gave Yu Mingwang a wink, and Yu Mingwang respectfully stepped forward to open it. When he saw what was inside, Yu Mingwang's pupils shrank and he was full of shock.

"Your Majesty, this is the Wanmin Umbrella."

As soon as the emperor heard this, he stood up from his chair and walked quickly. He saw an umbrella lying quietly in a long wooden box, which was as tall as a person. The umbrella was folded, and the words and ink were faintly visible on it. The fingerprints are densely packed.

He reached out his hand, but didn't dare touch it.

Everyone in the world said that he was plotting to usurp the throne, and that he had an evil path to the throne. He killed his brother to seize the throne, and exiled his other brothers.

But who knew that his brother was cruel and his family and country were in danger, so he was forced to have no choice.

Moreover, after he ascended the throne, he built water conservancy projects, benefited the people, and reduced taxes, in order to slowly save Annan Kingdom, which had been shortchanged by his brother in the past.

But even so, there are still people who will call him an unjust person and a traitor behind his back.

A Wanmin umbrella is not expensive. It can be said that this umbrella is made of the most common umbrella surface and bamboo, but the meaning it represents cannot be replaced by anything.

This is not a simple umbrella.

This is the people's recognition, admiration and respect for him as a king.

He had heard of the Ten Thousand People Umbrella before, which was recognized and admired by the common people. Looking back, only a few people in history had it.

And now, I have it too.

The emperor even wanted to cry, like a child who had worked hard for a long time and finally got recognition, his eyes were sore.

"This is a gift from the people of Linzhou. They say that you are a wise king. They also set up a ranking of longevity for you. I wish you good health and the strength of Annan." Li Yi said slowly.

The emperor touched the umbrella and nodded: "Okay, okay."

After the things were delivered and the things that should be reported were reported, Li Yi glanced at the emperor, saluted and said, "I will leave first."

The emperor, who was immersed in joy, came back to his senses and glanced at him: "What's the hurry? I haven't seen you for a long time. I just came back. Can't I talk to the emperor more?"

Li Yi frowned slightly, and the emperor had a panoramic view.

He still doesn't know what this brat is thinking?

"Okay, okay, I just want you to stay and chat with the emperor for a few words. Look at your frown, as if the emperor wants to force you to stay." The emperor said with disgust.

Li Yi bowed: "Yi'er doesn't dare."

The emperor smiled, now it was Yi'er and not Chen again.

"Okay, okay, I know you are busy going back to find that girl from the Wen family, but before you leave the palace, go and see your imperial grandmother. She has been thinking about you very much these days you have been away from home."

The emperor waved his hand.

"According to the order." Li Yi bowed and slowly withdrew, planning to go to the Queen Mother's palace first and then leave the palace to find Wen Yao.

As soon as he left, the emperor was so happy that he asked Yu Mingwang to lead someone to open the umbrella.

I had only heard of it before, but never seen it. When he opened the big umbrella, he saw the densely packed names and marks on it. The emperor felt mixed emotions, more like heaving a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, did you ask me to put it in a more delicate box and put it away?" Yu Mingwang asked carefully, feeling happy for Your Majesty in his heart.

The emperor waved his hand: "No need, it's good as it is. Just put it in the imperial study room to keep me alert at all times and do more for the people."

"The slave obeys the order."

--------

Li Yi went to the Queen Mother's Palace, and the Queen Mother showed concern for him for a while. Li Yi was not in a hurry to leave the palace and had a conversation with the Queen Mother.

After all, she was getting older, and it didn't take long for the Queen Mother to feel a little tired. Li Yi then asked her to have a good rest and said goodbye to leave the palace.

I originally wanted the coachman to go directly to Wen's house, but after thinking about it, I asked the coachman to go back to the palace first.

As a result, when he arrived at the palace, he was in vain.

When we returned to Wen's house, it was already evening. When the concierge saw Li Yi's carriage, he opened it without anyone calling the door and greeted him at the door with a smile.

Li Yi also entered directly as if he were entering his own home without reporting.

When I arrived at the front hall, I heard cheers and laughter before I even got close. I saw that my parents were already enjoying themselves with everyone in the Wen family.

"The prince is here." A servant shouted, and everyone in the hall saw Li Yi coming in.

King Fu glanced at him: "Is everything in the palace finished?"

Li Yi nodded: "Yes." He greeted Wen Xiuyi and the third princess again.

After he finished the salute, Prince Fu continued to ask: "What trouble did you encounter when you went to Linzhou? Have the disasters there been dealt with? Have the subsequent resettlement of the people been arranged?"

Princess Fu who was on the side glared at him when she heard his words and said, "My son has just come back, so you can't let him have a good rest and ask endless questions about business matters."

After speaking, he looked at Li Yi and said with a smile: "Yao Yao is preparing today's dinner in the kitchen. You go."

Li Yi frowned and subconsciously looked at Wen Xiuyi and the third princess.

Wen Xiuyi glared at him with disgust, snorted twice but said nothing.

The third princess smiled: "Go."

Li Yi suppressed the raised corners of his mouth, saluted a few people and went directly to the kitchen.
