Chapter 1733: If a scholar does not go out, he will know the world

Ye Chunqiu glanced at Li Dongyang with a complicated face, couldn't help but smile, and said, "Looking at everything here, it took seven months. What does Mr. Li think?"

Li Dongyang stayed for a while, seven months... Was this place built in seven months?

He saw many towering buildings with grand specifications, together with so many yamen, and the huge squares, and the boudoirs were no longer under the Forbidden City. However, the Forbidden City lived alone by the emperor, but it included many institutions.

He naturally remembered that the construction of the Forbidden City took fourteen years.

Although it took a lot of time to modify various modifications in the past fourteen years, even so, seven months...

In seven months, a building complex that is completely comparable to the Forbidden City and even more magnificent than the Forbidden City has risen up like this?

This is a completely incomprehensible concept for Li Dongyang.

Ye Chunqiu was very ordinary about this, and he didn't find it strange to the shock that flashed through Li Dongyang.

In fact, in this Qinglong, speed is always the most important thing, not to mention that there is no need for any wood here. It takes one or two years to transport it from Yunnan, and there is no need to carve any garden. Everything is mainly practical.

Ye Chunqiu looked at Li Dongyang deeply at this time. Li Dongyang was still standing, looking at him with alertness in his eyes.

Ye Chunqiu sighed and said, "Sit. At this point, Mr. Li has nothing to lose. Are you still afraid of me, Ye Chunqiu?"

This sentence is joking.

Li Dongyang sat down.

He was a very deep-minded person. As soon as he sat down, he began to ponder and guess Ye Chunqiu's various possibilities.

What exactly did he call himself to come? It was just to ridicule himself who had already failed? Or...had other conspiracies?

Ye Chunqiu also sat down, picked up the teacup on the table casually, took a sip of tea, and said, "Look, here, time is money. Mr. Li has been here for half a year. I must have agreed with this. Time is short after all, and it is not enough to waste time. Okay, after saying so many off-topics, I want to ask rashly, is Mr. Li living here well?"

Li Dongyang still couldn't understand Ye Chunqiu's original intention, so he said lightly: "It's okay."

Ye Chunqiu smiled and said, "This sentence is quite reasonable, it is really a Li Dongyang-style answer."

At this time, Ye Chunqiu sighed and said, "Looking back then, I was just a little Hanlin. At that time, I really admired Mr. Li. Who would have met like this today? I heard that you were drunk and started talking nonsense, saying that King Xing and son…”

Ye Chunqiu raised his eyes, a trace of brilliance flashed through his eyes, and then continued: "What's going on with the King Xing and his son?"

Ye Chunqiu's eyes never left Li Dongyang's face, as if he wanted to see something from the expression on this old face.

Li Dongyang just let out a sigh, pursed his lips, and did not answer Ye Chunqiu.

The more this happens, Ye Chunqiu will understand that the less simple this matter is.

Seeing that Li Dongyang had no intention of speaking, Ye Chunqiu said, "I have read the record of the Jinyiwei interrogation of you. It is only you who admit that you want to rebel, but you avoided answers to King Xing and his son. The Jinyiwei did not ask about it. I guess you were hiding something."

At this moment, Li Dongyang suddenly found a feeling. In a sense, seeing Ye Chunqiu made him feel like he was back to the era of calling the wind and rain. Although this was just a brief illusion, it still made him suddenly feel a little spiritual. He finally smiled implicitly and said, "Master, do you know why the Jinyiwei didn't ask? The Jinyiwei didn't ask because the expert factory didn't ask, the expert factory didn't ask, because Liu Jin didn't ask, but... I'm not to hide it. Liu Jin knew a little bit of the details, but why did he ignore this clue?"

Ye Chunqiu stared at him without saying a word, and he knew that Li Dongyang had some more words.

Li Dongyang smiled again and said, "It's actually very simple. It's because Liu Jin dare not ask. He just wanted to ask me to admit that he had rebelled. The most feared thing was to ask something else. Eunuch Liu is very smart. He is afraid. Why is he afraid? Because if you ask the bottom line and ask a little bit, you may have to ask something. Once you ask a little bit, your Majesty will have to investigate it strictly. Will this strictly investigated matter eventually fall on Liu Jin's head? What he is afraid of is that the more you ask, the more people you know, the more people you involve, the more you may cause greater trouble. Eunuch Liu is a smart person and naturally won't want to cause trouble for himself, so he just beat him haha. He pretended not to know anything. He only asked me about rebellion, but I naturally knew that some things can be said, and some things that I want to say, but I can't say."

After Li Dongyang said that, his eyes that had been already turbid, also looked at Ye Chunqiu deeply, and then said: "Now, the Duke has asked again, it seems that the Duke is more loyal than the Duke Liu."

It was obvious that his tone was a bit ridiculous.

Yes, isn't it clear enough to say this? Liu Jin knew something was strange but didn't dare to ask, but Ye Chunqiu took the initiative to ask, saying that he wanted to take the matter into his own hands.

Ye Chunqiu did not comment on this.

Li Dongyang said again: "Sometimes, I really admire my husband. If others are afraid of things, the husband is not afraid of them. Others are afraid of causing trouble, but the husband is afraid that the trouble will not be found on his head. Alas... Didn't my husband think about why I didn't dare to shake out some things when I died at the beginning?"

Seeing that Ye Chunqiu was still looking at him with a smile, Li Dongyang thought to himself that Ye Chunqiu was much more sophisticated than before, so he said, "So, it's better not to know. If you know, you may cause trouble."

Ye Chunqiu said, "What if I had to know?"

Li Dongyang gave Ye Chunqiu a meaningful look: "Master, you should actually think about it now. It's not easy for you to live a life now."

"Um?"

Li Dongyang said slowly: "As these days, I read newspapers every day. Isn't there a saying that goes? If a scholar does not go out, he will know the world. I am this scholar. Although there are many boring things in this newspaper, I can also see what happened in the court and your Zhenguo Mansion. Isn't Zhenguo afraid now?"
