Chapter 1118
He is in his fiefdom, and now he can even lie down and listen to music. Why should he suffer this injustice?
The Queen Mother looked at her disappointing grandson and wished she could kick him to death. "What a waste! Everyone wants to sit in that position, but you want to go back to your fiefdom. I'm telling you, you have to sit in that position whether you want to or not."
A man came out, his name was Li Changan.
Now he is the only one in the Li family who is still working in the court. "Aunt, I have something to say. I wonder if I should say it or not?"
The Queen Mother raised her eyelids and said, "Chang'an, if you don't know whether you should say it or not, try not to say it. You never get close to me, but I treat you equally and even let people help you rise to prominence. Do you know why?"
Li Changan lowered his head and clenched his fists.
The Queen Mother's majestic voice rang out, "Because your last name is Li, you are the blood of my Li family. We all prosper together and suffer together. You should understand this principle."
Li Changan endured it again and again, but still said in a deep voice, "It's true that my last name is Li, but I am also a Jinshi, and I got my fame through the imperial examinations..."
The Empress Dowager laughed, her laughter dry and cold, "A Jinshi, passing the imperial examination? Without me, do you think you could pass the imperial examination?"
"Even if I can't pass the imperial examination, even if I'm just a seventh-rank official, I think it's better than what I have now." Li Changan raised his eyes and met the empress dowager's cold gaze, but still held his head high and said, "May I ask the empress dowager, are you colluding with the Wan people to help the Prince of Jin ascend to the throne?"
The Queen Mother slammed the tea on the table and splashed it all over Li Lanzhi. "How dare you! Li Changan, are you going to rebel?"
Li Changan risked his life, "The surname of the King of Jin is Xiao. Why would you sacrifice our entire Li family to help the King of Jin ascend to the throne?"
"Your Li family?" The Queen Mother was so angry that she fell backwards. "Without me, would your Li family be so glorious? Now it's your Li family that's in charge! Don't forget, my last name is Li too!"
Li Changan suddenly laughed, and said, "Yes, without you, the Queen Mother, how could Changjing have colluded with Suzhou officials to occupy the salt mine for three years? The silver kept flowing into your private treasury. But when something went wrong, you just kicked him out without saying a word for him! Queen Mother, even if you feed a dog, you will have feelings for him after feeding it for a long time! He is your own nephew!"
The Queen Mother was speechless and could not utter a word for a moment.
Indeed, she never even thought about the nephew who died for her. After all, she had many nephews, so one more wouldn't make much, and one less wouldn't make much either.
Li Changan choked up and said, "A few days before the martial arts exam, it was the day when Chang Jing was executed. I went to see him off. He suddenly asked me, 'How did our Li family's ancestors start their business?'"
"I answered him, 'The Li family had generals who defended the country and made great achievements. Later, the Li family also had several queens and several imperial tutors. So our Li family is still very famous in the history of the Northern Wing.' Chang Jing said confusedly at the time, 'The Li family is famous in history, but will our generation be infamous for eternity?'" Li Changan stared at the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother's chest tightened with anger, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Li! Chang! An! You'd better shut up, or I will kill you!"
Li Changan smiled sadly, having prepared for the worst. "Kill him, he will only die a few days earlier."
He looked around, passing through the elders, peers, and juniors one by one, and finally met the empress dowager's gaze, neither of them giving in. "The empress dowager is autocratic and overbearing. She wanted to control the court because the emperor had no real power. But the emperor didn't let you have your way, so you took it out on Princess Yuyang's entire family."
The Queen Mother was now ready to eat someone, "Someone, take Li Changan away!"
Li Changan completely ignored her. "What happened? In the end, Changying and Changde, Princess Chanyu, and Princess Fengyang, which one of them didn't die in it? That was the Emperor's precise revenge on you! Can't you see it? Do you still want to drag the entire Li family to death?"
