Chapter 240 Can I Say This?
This statement shocked everyone.
There were many people in the restaurant today, and the private rooms upstairs were full of people. At this time, the lobby was even more crowded.
But when Li Xuan said this, the whole lobby fell silent, and everyone stared at Li Xuan with a dumbfounded expression.
Can you bring the desire to be an emperor to the table?
Baiyun Town is located at the foot of the emperor and backed by Baiyun Academy. Although there are students from poor families in Baiyun Academy, most of them are children of wealthy families in Beijing, so there are many dignitaries coming and going in Baiyun Town.
This restaurant is the best restaurant in Baiyun Town. Among the people sitting in the lobby at this time, there are several officials from Beijing.
A certain censor has even thought about how to write a memorial.
But Li Xuan didn't take these to heart. He continued, "Although I am young, I have great ambitions. My lifelong wish is to have a peaceful and prosperous world and to create an unprecedented prosperity."
Gu Mingda looked at the boy. He was obviously talking nonsense, but suddenly he felt that the unlucky child was not as annoying as before.
Perhaps it was because Li Xuan's expression at this time clearly showed that he really wanted to be an emperor as a career, which seemed to be not much different from "I want to be the best painter" and "I want to make the best wine".
There was no stench of ambition in this child, but only grand ambitions.
Shen Changfeng was scared at this time. He looked around, fearing that he would be accused of conspiring with Li Xuan for the throne.
Gu Mingda patted his disciple's shoulder soothingly and said, "Don't be afraid, it's okay."
Shen Changfeng looked at his master who was still calm and composed, and his heart was slightly settled.
Gu Mingda said to Li Xuan: "How do you want to become the crown prince?"
Li Xuan still looked ignorant.
"Mencius said that the people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least important. I agree with this statement. I want to let your majesty see that I care about the world and am willing to do my best for the country."
Li Xuan's words are not wrong.
Gu Mingda can also see that although this child is old-fashioned, he has a pure heart. He doesn't want a good child to be torn into pieces in the struggle for imperial power, so he patched him up.
"What if your majesty doesn't choose you as the crown prince? What will you do?" Gu Mingda asked.
Li Xuan did not look discouraged at all, but said: "If His Majesty does not choose me, there must be a reason for him not to choose me. It must be that I have made a mistake and do not meet his expectations for the successor."
"If I cannot become the crown prince, then I am willing to be a wise minister, to make the king as good as Yao and Shun, and to make the customs pure again."
In the private room on the second floor, a middle-aged man who was eating casually asked the servant next to him very casually.
"Did this kid really say that?"
The servant's voice was soft and sharp, saying: "Master, the nineteenth young master did say that."
The middle-aged man nodded when he heard it, but did not say anything else.
After leaving the restaurant, when Gu Mingda and his party parted with Li Xuan and others, Li Xuan apologized to Niuniu again: "I was narrow-minded before, please don't take it to heart, sister Gu."
Niuniu waved her hand and said: "You don't have bad intentions, and you are willing to apologize, I forgive you!"
When he separated from Gu Mingda and his party, Li Yao could no longer bear it.
"Go back, go back quickly!" Li Yao said anxiously.
Li Xuan had made a big mess today, and Li Yao was anxious to go back to his parents to discuss countermeasures.
Li Xuan was not aware of his own abnormality, but asked: "Didn't you say you were going to Baiyun Temple? When you persuaded me to come out, you said it would be easier to meet His Majesty in Baiyun Temple."
Li Yao wanted to sew his brother's mouth with needle and thread at this time.
"What are you still meeting! If there is a chance for you to meet His Majesty alone, you want to say these words to him?" Li Yao questioned.
If they hadn't received the news that the emperor intended to adopt children under the age of ten, and their palace had spent a lot of effort to find out that His Majesty liked to visit Baiyun Temple, they would never have thought of taking Li Xuan, a junior scholar, to Baiyun Town to try their luck.
Now that he didn't have any luck, it would be fine, but the whole family was put on the fire. After Li Yao went back, he didn't know how to face the questioning of the elders.
Li Xuan didn't know his brother's pain at all, but said as a matter of course: "I am open and honest, what's wrong with these words?"
Li Yao's expression was about to crack. If he really wanted to rely on such a guy to fight for the throne for their palace, he should pack up and get out as soon as possible.
"My little ancestor, please say less. What should be said and what should not be said, how come you don't have any idea in your mind?" Li Yao was so anxious that he almost jumped up.
Li Xuan, however, said with a stern face: "Brother, there is nothing that cannot be said to others."
Li Yao was too lazy to debate with this stubborn guy. He felt that he would probably not win the debate with this stubborn guy, so he directly pulled his brother to get on the carriage.
"I can't argue with you. Let my parents teach you a lesson when you go back!"
Li Xuan said, "I'm not in a hurry to go back. You promised to bring me to Baiyun Town to see His Majesty. I must see His Majesty. You have to take me to Baiyun Temple, otherwise I won't go out with you next time!"
Li Yao directly carried the unfortunate child to the carriage: "Do you think I want to take you out?"
Li Xuan finally didn't see the emperor he had been thinking about, and he didn't complete the prince's self-recommendation.
After Gu Mingda sent Gu Yan and Yan Lang, who were eager to go back to study, back to Baiyun Academy, he took others to walk around Baiyun Town from beginning to end.
Shen Changfeng looked like he wanted to say something but stopped.
"Just say whatever you want to say." Gu Mingda said.
"I'm talking to Xiao Jiu here today. Will the censor report my mother? Will he harm my mother?" Shen Changfeng opened his clear and stupid eyes.
Gu Mingda:...
"How did you harm the princess? Just because you loudly plotted for the throne?" Gu Mingda asked.
Shen Changfeng nodded hesitantly.
Gu Mingda sighed: "There's no need to be so nervous."
Shen Changfeng said again: "My mother once told me that I can do anything, but I must not get involved in the dispute over the throne..."
Gu Mingda said helplessly: "You have no official position, and you can't influence your mother's thoughts. You were no different from other listeners in the restaurant before, so you don't have to take this matter to heart."
Shen Changfeng was relieved at this time.
Gu Mingda said again: "I often hear you mention His Majesty, it seems that he loves you very much, why are you so scared?"
"My uncle does love me, but my mother also told me that he is not only my uncle, but also the king above all others. My mother repeatedly warned me not to do anything involving the imperial power."
After hearing this, Gu Mingda couldn't help but sigh. Although Shen Changfeng is not very smart, he has a smart mother.
Shen Changfeng suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Master, my uncle does often go to Baiyun Temple. If I meet him, I can also introduce you to him."
