Chapter 481 Cannon fodder under the emperor's love, hate and hatred 12

Li Yan grew up to one year old without his father's love and his mother's love. After he could speak normally, he finally asked the maid next to Lian Zhilan about the current situation of the imperial city when she came to visit him one day.

Li Yan was shocked to learn that the current emperor was the previous ninth prince.

He had an impression of Li Wenchang, the emperor's uncle. During the time when he was not in charge of government affairs, the emperor's uncle kept writing memorials and looked worried about the country and the people. Li Yan found it absurd to think that the person he easily solved with an imperial edict had now become the master of the world.

Why did such a change happen? Why did his father lose to Li Wenchang with the help of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion? Li Yan really couldn't understand.

He continued to ask, "What about my grandfather and the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion?"

The maid found it strange that Li Yan asked these questions seriously, but Li Yan was the master and she was the servant, so she could only answer honestly: "I don't know how they are now. When we came here, the master had been dismissed from office, and the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion was still the same as before."

Li Yan thought it was normal to know that his grandfather was dismissed from office, but the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion was still the same as before. What does this mean?

Thinking in his heart, Li Yan also asked, "Is the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion not implicated?"

"No, the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion has always remained neutral, and your majesty did not do anything to them."

Neutral? Li Yan grasped the key point.

Could it be that the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion did not help his father?

"Did the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion not help my father?" Li Yan asked.

The maid heard Li Yan's childish voice and answered honestly: "No."

Getting a positive answer, all the questions in Li Yan's heart were answered.

However, he still couldn't figure out why the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, which was willing to help his father in the previous life, chose to be neutral this time?

But the maid didn't know the answer to this question.

He asked the maid about all the news she knew, and told her not to tell anyone about what happened today. Only after getting the answer she wanted did she let her go back.

Li Yan lived a tormenting life every day, but Shi Qing lived a good life.

When he turned 18, Liu Yu mentioned the matter of marrying a wife to him. Shi Qing said that he had no intention of marrying and having children after living a new life.

Although Liu Yu disagreed with this, he did not force it, and helped persuade his wife who was unaware of it.

Five years passed in a flash. During this period, Shi Qing asked Liu Yu to tell Li Wenchang about his idea of ​​attacking Qi State. Li Wenchang agreed after considering it for a few days.

Shi Qing went to the battlefield with Liu Yu and directly captured several cities of Qi State, forcing Qi State to submit a letter of surrender to Da Zhou.

Since then, Qi State no longer dared to have any ideas about Da Zhou. And Shi Qing became a veritable general after those battles.

At the same time, in five years, Li Yan also grew from a child who could not walk steadily to a six-year-old child.

In the past few years, Li Yan's bad luck has not been alleviated at all. He can't do anything well, and his health is very bad because of bumps from time to time.

Feeling weak, Li Yan felt that this would not work. He had a strong body and good martial arts in his previous life. Perhaps practicing martial arts can improve his situation.

After practicing martial arts, his body will be better and more sensitive, and he can better avoid various things from happening.

One day, looking at Li Wenxuan who came back drunk from outside, Li Yan concealed the disdain in his eyes, stepped forward and asked obediently: "Father, I want to learn riding and shooting, can I?"

"Let your mother arrange it for you." Li Wenxuan drank alcohol and his mind was in a mess, so he said without thinking.

"Okay, thank you, father." Li Yan picked the time when Li Wenxuan was unconscious and said to him. After getting the answer he wanted, he happily went to find Lian Zhilan.

"What? Why do you want to learn horse riding and archery? How can you learn it in your current situation?" Lian Zhilan subconsciously refuted after hearing what Li Yan said.

"Mother, my father has already promised me this."

"No!" Lian Zhilan still refused. In the past few years, Li Wenxuan didn't know when he got into the habit of drinking. He always went out to drink and often didn't come home. She no longer had any feelings for this man she once favored. Of course, she didn't have much fear.

Li Wenxuan didn't care about anything. He was drunk and would definitely not refuse Li Yan's request. Lian Zhilan felt that she couldn't be the same as him.

Although she didn't like Li Yan as a son, Li Yan was her only child after all. What if he really had an accident?

Li Yan was annoyed when he saw Lian Zhilan disagreed, but he still looked very well-behaved, "Mother, I want to learn because I am weak. I heard them say that learning martial arts can exercise the body. I want to have a normal body."

"No. Yan'er, you are weak because you often bump into things. You will be fine when you grow up. Learning horse riding and archery is very dangerous." Lian Zhilan rarely showed a worried look.

Hearing this, Li Yan knew that Lian Zhilan's worries were not unreasonable, but it was not a solution to continue as it was now. Moreover, although their family was unlucky, it was never fatal, so he wanted to give it a try.

He begged, "Mother, please let me try, okay? If there is any danger, I won't learn it, okay?"

Seeing her son looking at her with pleading eyes, Lian Zhilan's heart softened, "Okay, then you have to be careful, if there is any danger, then you can't learn it."

"Okay, mother."

Lian Zhilan quickly arranged for someone to teach Li Yan how to ride and shoot, and Li Yan followed and learned with full confidence.

He understands his situation very well. He is usually cautious and will get bumped into all kinds of things. Learning to ride and shoot is extremely dangerous, so he is extremely careful.

But no matter how careful he was, on the third day, when Li Yan was learning to ride a horse, he still fell off the pony and was stepped on.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how are you?"

Listening to Ji's anxious shouts in his ears, Li Yan fainted.

Knowing that Li Yan fell from his horse, even Zhilan's heart almost jumped out of her throat. After confirming that Li Yan's life was not in danger, she felt relieved and beat the man who taught Li Yan how to ride and shoot before throwing him out. .

From then on, Li Yan was ordered by Lian Zhilan not to do dangerous things anymore, so he no longer had to think about learning to ride and shoot.

After falling off his horse and being stepped on, Li Yan also gave up the idea of ​​learning martial arts and could only read books every day, thinking about trying again when he grew up.

Li Yan has grown up to be sixteen years old even if ten years have passed.

In the past ten years, he had tried various methods to change the status quo, but they were of no use, and in the end he had to give up.

During this period, Li Yan was very anxious. This year's lantern festival was the day when he and Qi Wanwan met and fell in love at first sight. In a few months, the lantern festival will be held.

Qi Wanwan is his beloved woman, and he must renew his relationship with her. No matter what, he must meet, get to know, and fall in love with her again.

However, in the past ten years, their family has not returned to the capital. Li Yan could only think of other ways to go back.
