Tao Yuan now regards Li Yu as his prospective son-in-law and half a son.

When talking to him, he naturally revealed some warnings from elders to younger generations.

The minister said this to the prince, which was suspected of being arbitrary, but Li Yu did not care about this.

He could hear that Tao Yuan said this to him was not because he was relying on his seniority and being arrogant, but because of kindness.

Li Yu bowed and said with a smile: "What Mr. Tao said is very true, I will remember it."

Yes! The child is teachable!

Tao Yuan looked at Li Yu with a look of appreciation.

The two were talking when Huang Zhao came in to report that Li Guan was visiting.

Li Guan was Li Ju's eldest son, the crown prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Upon hearing this, Li Yu and Tao Yuan stood up together.

The former said: "Please!"

It didn't take long, and someone walked into the outside.

In his early thirties, he was wearing a brocade robe, a jade belt, and soap boots.

Looking at the face, his face is as white as jade, his nose is straight and square, his eyebrows are colorful, his eyes are bright and starry, his spirit is full of vitality and majestic.

After the man came in, he immediately intervened and said, "My nephew, please see Uncle Seventeen!"

Tao Yuan intervened to him and said, "I have met the crown prince!"

Li Yu raised his lips and waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be too polite to nephew."

Li Guan straightened his body and said with a smile: "My nephew congratulations to Uncle Seventeen, in Heyang and Pingchang, to destroy the bandits and defeat the elven army!"

Li Yu felt so happy that he waved his hand on the surface and said lightly: "It's all the credit of the soldiers, and I'm doing very little."

Li Guan said seriously: "Uncle Seventeen is not proud of his contribution, which makes his nephew admire him."

Li Yu felt embarrassed when he whispered to his nephew and uncle.

Li Yu is only sixteen years old, while Li Guan is in his early thirties, and the two are nearly twice as old.

But there is no way, who made Li Yu’s seniority bigger!

Li Guan took out a post from his cuff, handed it to Li Yu, and said, "Uncle Seventeen, this is a gift list sent by his nephew."

"Ah, my nephew is so polite."

"It should be filial to my uncle."

Li Yu took the post and opened it and saw that it was OK, the gifts were arranged in a long string.

There are gold, silver, jewelry, beautiful jade, silk, satin, etc.

After seeing this, Li Yu couldn't help swallowing.

That's too much!

He slowly handed the post back to Li Guan and said seriously: "Nephew brings these gifts back quickly. This gift is too expensive. My uncle really feels sorry for it!"

He said beautifully, but Li Yu's fingers were turning white when he pinched the post, and he wanted to pinch the post directly into his flesh.

Seeing this, Li Guan couldn't help but be happy.

Uncle Seventeen!

You're acting too obvious!

He said no, but his body was very honest.

Tao Yuan sighed secretly from beside him and couldn't help but cough heavily.

When Li Yu looked at him, Tao Yuan glared at him fiercely.

There was a hint of anger in his eyes.

What kind of morality is your dignified prince and future prince?

In the past, Li Yu was absurd and greedy for money and lust, so Tao Yuan didn't care about it, either.

But now, he can no longer ignore Li Yu's bad habits and let them go.

Li Guan smiled and said, "Uncle Seventeen, don't refuse anymore. This is also my nephew's filial piety!"

Li Yu looked embarrassed, but he quickly took back the post he handed out and said, "Since that's the case... my uncle is disrespectful!"

Li Guan owed Li Yu.

"My father said that during this southern expedition, Uncle Seventeen made many strange plans, even defeating powerful enemies, and having the talent of a general, he also asked his nephew to follow Uncle Seventeen to study hard!"

"Brother is going to pick me up to the sky, hahaha--"

Li Yu couldn't stop smiling, and he looked a little fluttering.

Li Guan stayed for half an hour before getting up and saying goodbye to Li Yu.

Li Yu and Tao Yuan sent Li Guan out of the mansion together.

Watching Li Guan leave in a carriage, Tao Yuan asked Li Yu: "Your Highness thinks that the gift given by the crown prince is from whom?"

Li Yu said: "Isn't it Li Guan?"

Tao Yuan sighed inwardly and said, "In name, it was given by the crown prince, but in fact it was given by the crown prince."

"ah?"

"Have your Highness ever thought about why the prince gave him such a generous gift?"

"this……"

"The prince now wants to win over His Highness."

He had already felt this when Li Ju advised him not to leave Beijing.

Tao Yuan said meaningfully: "Your Highness can be close to the prince. After all, he is a brother, but he cannot be too close to him. Otherwise, he will be suspected of forming a clique and will attract His Majesty's suspicion."

Li Yu said in surprise: "Aren't my father very satisfied with my elder brother?"

Tao Yuan smiled and said with a slight slightest: "That's because the prince's duty is formed with a subtle balance with the kings. Once this balance is broken, then Your Majesty will feel the threat."

Even if this threat comes from his heirs, the emperor will never tolerate it.

This is the emperor!

Li Yu was stunned for a moment, bowed to Tao Yuan and said, "Thank you for your advice."

Tao Yuan is an old fox in the officialdom.

And he knew Li Hui very well.

He was obviously betrayed by the previous dynasty, but he was deeply trusted and valued by Li Hui. Whether it is in terms of IQ or EQ, Tao Yuan is top-notch.

Seeing Li Yu's humble attitude, Tao Yuan nodded with relief and couldn't help but nag a few more: "This southern expedition, Your Highness made great contributions, which has greatly improved Your Majesty's view of Your Highness. Your Highness must be cautious and not be willful and act willful. Especially in dealing with the relationship with the prince and the kings, you need to be more careful. Don't be too distant or too close to you. It is best to stay out of the matter in order to protect yourself!"

What Tao Yuan said coincides with Li Yu's inner thoughts.

It can be heard that Tao Yuan is indeed thinking about himself.

Li Yu bowed and said, "Thank you Mr. Tao to teach me! I will remember it in my heart!"

Tao Yuan was very satisfied and said, "Your Highness must remember that as long as you do not make mistakes with the prince and the kings, your highness will have a strong position."

Even if it is a little ridiculous, lustful, or spending more money, these are small problems, not principled mistakes, and the emperor can tolerate them.

After all, he is a real son.

Even if the emperor is so angry that he beats and scolds him, most of them are acting for outsiders to watch, and they will not be really angry or really angry.

But if Li Yu helped the prince, overthrow the kings, or colluded with the kings to deal with the prince, it would be that he would touch the emperor's rebellion and would never have a good ending.

"I've written it down."

"Um!"

Tao Yuan said: "Okay, Your Highness, I should say goodbye too!"

"Thank you for your teaching today!"

Li Yu bowed to the ground.

Tao Yuan was not polite and received this gift from Li Yu with peace of mind.

He is Li Yu's future father-in-law, and he can still bear this gift.
Chapter completed!
