Chapter 47: Father and son night talk, shocking prophecy!


   Li Zexuan entered the study and closed the door, and found that Dad was already sitting on the Hu stool, holding a tea cup, waiting for him.
   Li Zexuan sat on the other side unceremoniously, and poured himself a cup of tea. Drinking a cup of tea after a meal is good for digestion.
   Father Li couldn't help being a little angry when he saw his son's heartlessness, and said, "Xuan'er, how did you and the prince meet?"
   Hey, it seems that the old man is still worried about the prince's affairs, his mentality is unstable.
   Li Zexuan put down his tea cup, and told him about the prince who had met the prince on the way to the West Market before, and that Zuixianlou invited the prince and Cheng Chumo to have a meal with him. Daddy Li stroked his beard and digested it for a while, then said:
   "Xuan'er, you must follow the rules in front of the prince, pay attention to the etiquette of the emperor and his officials, and do not behave like you are at home. As the saying goes, your companion is like a tiger. If you anger the prince, your father and I can't save you."
   Thinking of Li Chengqian’s little kid, if I let myself nod and bow at him, Li Zexuan couldn’t do it anyway, but Li Zexuan’s remarks were for his own good. Li Zexuan was too lazy to explain, so he could only answer vaguely:
   "Father, don't worry, the prince and I are friends with each other. He won't use his identity to overwhelm me."
   Daddy Li stared: "That can't go beyond the etiquette of monarchs and ministers, what if one day the crown prince settles accounts?"
   "Yes, yes, Dad is right, the child listens to Dad." In order to avoid being preached by his father, Li Zexuan quickly nodded and agreed.
   Seeing his son’s virtues, and knowing that he hadn’t listened to him, Father Li snorted and didn’t bother to persuade him anymore.
"Why did your quirky pavilion only give the prince 30% of the shares? Why don't you know the superiority and inferiority? You will give the prince 30% of the shares tomorrow. Our family is not short of money. There is really no need to offend this. Prince."
   Dad, this is going to move his own cheese, Li Zexuan jumped immediately and said anxiously:
   "No, the prince himself has agreed to this condition of sharing, father, are you here to join in the fun, aren't you the emperor who is not in a hurry?"
   "You bastard, dare to talk to your father like that, it seems your skin is itchy again."
   Daddy Li was immediately stared with an angry beard blowing, and he was about to get up and beat people in angrily.
   Li Zexuan immediately got up and dodged, and yelled as he flashed: "Mother, help, my father is going to kill him."
   Father Li was even more furious, jumping angrily. At this moment, a cough came from outside the study.
   "Ahem!"
   Li Zexuan heard it, this is her mother's voice.
   Sure enough, she saw her old lady pushing the door directly in. After Mrs. Li came in, she gave Daddy Li a cold look, then sat next to him and said to Daddy Li:
   "I see if you want to sleep in the study room again? Is there anything you can't tell Xuan'er? Xuan'er is so big, you beat and scolded him again, so how proper."
   Father Li lost his temper in an instant, and sat back like an angry little daughter-in-law, drinking tea in a grieved muffled voice.
   Li Zexuan saw that the atmosphere was a little stiff at the moment, so he laughed "hehe" and stepped forward to reason with his father:
   "Father, that Qiquge is Haier's first career. In the future, its scale will surely be the crown jewel of the Tang Dynasty. Haier has already given the prince 30% of the shares, so why don't you understand it."
   Father Li obviously felt that his son was bragging, hehe sneered twice, indicating that he didn't believe it.
   Li Zexuan said helplessly:
   "Father, if you don't believe it, let's wait and see. In addition, there is something I want to tell my father today!"
   Papa Li swallowed his tea, and said in a bad mood: "What can you do?"
   It seems that the old man feels resentful, Li Zexuan said in embarrassment:
   "Father, in addition to the abilities of my master, his old man is also proficient in divination, do you know?"
   Daddy Li stared, "How would I know? Besides, what do you tell your father about this?"
   Li Zexuan patiently flicked:
"Father, when the child was seven years old, I accidentally heard my master say that on the fourth day of June in Wu De 9th year (of course Li Zexuan didn't know the specific month and day, this was something he accidentally heard from Xiaohe after he returned home) , Xuanwumen will be filled with dead mountains and blood.
   I didn’t know what it meant at that time. After the master passed away and I went down the mountain, I didn’t know what happened on the ninth year of Wu De. "
   Li's father and Li's mother were shocked when they heard the words. They have been living in Chang'an. Naturally, they knew what happened on the fourth day of June last year. The place happened to be Xuanwumen. This matter has now become a taboo for the people of Datang, and no one dares to mention it in public.
   Mrs. Li got up and said anxiously: "Xuan'er, is this true?"
   Li Zexuan nodded solemnly, and said: "The child dare not deceive parents."
   Although Dad Li was shocked, he still had some doubts. He asked, "How about your master's ability to predict the future? What is the purpose of telling you this to your parents?"
   Li Zexuan got up, carrying his hands on his back and slowly said: "After the boy went down the mountain, he was even more worried after knowing that the master's prophecy came true, because the master left a prophecy before his death."
   Father Li was also a little nervous at the moment, and hurriedly asked: "What prophecy?"
   Li Zexuan brewed a little emotion, and said in a low voice:
"My master said that in June of the second year of Zhenguan, there will be a huge and unprecedented locust plague in Datang. At that time, swarms of locusts will overwhelm the entire Guanzhong Plain. The land where the locusts pass is a thousand miles of red land, and no grass grows. All the crops will be wiped out by the locusts.
   Datang will suffer a catastrophe that will destroy the world. At that time, thousands of people will starve to death because of lack of food, and it is not surprising that they will lose their food. "
   Both elders were stunned by this shocking prophecy and could not speak for a long time.
   Mrs. Li has always been kind-hearted, most not able to see others suffer. At this time, the miserable scene depicted by Li Zexuan touched her weak heart, and her eye circles suddenly turned red.
   Mrs. Li wiped the corner of her eyes lightly, and asked in pain, "Xuan'er, did your master say that there is a way to resolve this locust plague?" She still had a glimmer of hope in her heart.
   Li Zexuan shook his head slowly, and said: "My master said at the time that even if the Turks attacked near Chang'an in the nine years of Wude, it would not be terrible. Datang had Mingjun to resolve this disaster.
   However, the locust plague in the second year of Zhenguan was the biggest test for the just-leveled Tang Dynasty. No one can resolve it. We can only rely on ourselves to fight for our fate with heaven! "
   Father Li also had a sad face at the moment, shaking his head and smiling bitterly: "Oh, how can I compete with the heavens if I wait for a mortal!"
   Mrs. Li also nodded sadly.
   The ancients have always maintained a sense of reverence for the heavens. In their view, the locust plague came to the world, and it was the punishment of the heavens on the earth. How can mortals resist, people, after all, are beyond the heavens.
   Li Zexuan shook his head when he saw his father and mother confessing his fate and showing no fighting spirit. It seems that his task tonight is a bit heavy. He must cheer up the father and mother. He can't accomplish this plan alone.
