Li Miao returned to Li Mansion and went directly to the bedroom in the study. He fell down on the bed, no longer thinking about comforting the woman. Now Li Miao has many issues to consider.
The first is the impact of the turmoil in the government on oneself and one's own forces.
Obviously, it is beneficial to the resettlement of 300,000 disaster victims on the line from Huludao to Chengde. Now it is estimated that no force will be interested in these disaster victims.
Secondly, the turmoil in the court situation is also beneficial to the development of Li Miao's various forces. Now the eyes of all forces. Including the imperial court, all eyes will be focused on the crown prince and the Jurchens.
This is what Li Miao wants to see. Li Miao now wishes that the situation in the court would be as chaotic as possible. So that his own power can grow rich in silence. As for dealing with the Jurchens, Li Miao had never looked to the court.
Without Li Miao, the imperial court would have moved its capital long ago. The land in the north has long since become a pasture for the Tatars.
The situation in the DPRK was in turmoil, and there were many unfavorable factors for Li Miao. The key now is not to get involved in the chaotic political situation. Li Miao had a family and so many people he cared about, how could he not be cautious?
But sometimes many unexpected events occur, and they are not dependent on Li Miao's will. Fortunately, Li Miao is free at home now. With two months of vacation, it shouldn't be a big problem for the time being.
There was some gap between the Fourth Prince and Li Miao. Once he takes charge of the government, it will definitely be detrimental to Li Miao. Fortunately, the fourth prince's attention is not on Li Miao yet.
So now Li Miao can only wait and see what happens. I just don’t know how long the emperor can live? In fact, the longer the emperor lives, the more detrimental it will be to the court.
At present, the emperor still prefers to establish a fourth prince. But as time goes by, maybe the emperor will do it again. The emperor may also be used by people with ulterior motives to create some trouble.
Li Miao is certain of one thing. Dai Quan would definitely not be willing to watch the fourth prince inherit the throne. As long as Dai Quan is standing in the way, the succession of the fourth prince will not be smooth sailing.
Li Miao remembered the situation when Dai Quan issued the edict for him, and began to realize something. It turned out that it was all for Li Shouzhong's sake. Probably he wanted to win over Li Shouzhong through himself.
There are now five ministers in the cabinet, and they still play a key role in the current political situation. Are cabinet ministers so easy to win over? Do they still need to stand?
In other words, the cabinet ministers have taken a stand, what can you give them? It's totally unnecessary! Why take such a big risk.
Even the two cabinet ministers who returned some of the money owed to the Ministry of Revenue should have simply stated their attitude. It was considered a good deal with the Fourth Prince.
As for taking sides, it's impossible. It's totally unnecessary!
Now Li Miao started to worry a little. Lin Ruhai and the fourth prince should have some intersection in the household department. Both of them are doing their best to clear the money owed to the household department. Lin Ruhai should have a good relationship with the fourth prince.
The fourth prince would not let go of such a good opportunity. Lin Ruhai should take sides. The most taboo thing about the succession of the throne is to stand in line early. If one person is not good, his official career will be ruined, and his wealth and life will not be saved.
Early the next morning, Li Miao had breakfast in Lin Daiyu's courtyard. Now the twins Runhai and Runyang are one year old.
Runyang also has a name, which was given by Lin Ruhai at his first birthday ceremony last month - Lin Zeyang.
Li Miao played with his two sons for a while and was about to visit Lin Ruhai with Lin Daiyu. At this time, Lin Ruhai had already entered the yard.
Because of Lin Zeyang, Lin Ruhai would come almost every holiday.
No wonder Lin Daiyu repeatedly expressed that she was not in a hurry, and she probably knew that Lin Ruhai was coming soon. After Weng and his son-in-law met, Lin Ruhai played with Lin Zeyang for a while. The two of them came to Li Miao's study together.
Lin Ruhai looked at Li Miao and was in a daze. His son-in-law is already a third-rank official when he is young.
Of course Lin Ruhai knew how Li Miao got to where he is today step by step. There was also a burst of emotion in my heart!
Li Miao briefly reported to Lin Ruhai the resettlement situation of the victims in Henan. Lin Ruhai, as the Minister of Household Affairs, already knew the situation reported by Li Miao.
It was obvious that Li Miao was far away from him. You must know that this is Li Miao's study, but Li Miao seems to be in the household department, reporting to Lin Ruhai.
Lin Ruhai felt in a trance at this time. Has his son-in-law grown to such a height? Originally, I just felt that Li Miao had a unique vision. Strong ability to grasp the general trend!
Coupled with excellent business skills. Li Miao now has a business-like appearance. Lin Ruhai couldn't speak a lot of words that came to his lips. Lin Ruhai was also pleased. fair enough!
Lin Ruhai also came with a purpose today. As the saying goes, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but act as the fourth prince's lobbyist. It is false to win over Li Miao, but it is true to value Li Shouzhong.
Li Miao was just one, being read as an attendant in the Hanlin Academy which was temporarily idle. It’s not worth the Fourth Prince’s win over.
How could Lin Ruhai not know what Li Miao was thinking. It's obvious that she is distancing herself from him, that is, she doesn't want to get too close to him. Lin Ruhai was also full of helplessness.
Lin Ruhai couldn't help himself now. He and the Fourth Prince had already interacted with each other. If you don't side with the fourth prince, it means completely turning against him. What can Lin Ruhai do?
Besides, the fourth prince now has a natural advantage. There are also many officials who are unable to reach the level, but they are still trying to get higher up? When walking out of Li Miao's study, Lin Ruhai was also much more decadent.
Li Miao actually didn't say anything, he just expressed his attitude. He has a family and a small child, so it's better to play it safe.
Besides, Li Miao has just been promoted to a bachelor's degree at the Hanlin Academy. It is estimated that for a long time in the future, I will have to hone my qualifications.
Lin Ruhai felt that this was not the case for him. It seems that it’s better not to dance too much in the future. Just be an ordinary member of the Fourth Prince's faction.
Even if something happens at that time, the most that can be done is to be dismissed from office.
Lin Ruhai is only in his early forties this year and is not yet qualified among officials at his level. Now is the time to sharpen your qualifications. The right thing to do is to be steady. Don't let Lin Zeyang get into trouble when the time comes.
Although Li Miao didn't talk to Lin Ruhai for long. He also understood that Lin Ruhai and the fourth prince had shared weal and woe. I guess Lin Ruhai also had some last resort difficulties. But all this has nothing to do with Li Miao.
Li Miao made it clear that he would not participate. From now on, we will only have a relationship with Lin Ruhai. But the causal involvement between Li Miao and Lin Ruhai is so deep. How could you not care about anything?
Li Miao just wanted Lin Ruhai not to get too involved. In Li Miao's opinion, there was no hope for the Great Zheng Dynasty. At present, I don’t seek high-ranking officials and big salaries, I just seek peace.
Next, Li Miao went to Rongguo Mansion. Mrs. Shi was still happy from the bottom of her heart when she saw Li Miao. Li Miao is a student at the Hanlin Academy at a young age and will have no problem becoming the backer of the Rongguo Mansion in the future.
Li Miao and Rong Ning's second mansion are inextricably linked. In addition, Li Miao is quite responsible in doing things. He had always been helpful to Rong Ning's second house before.
Mrs. Shi still doesn’t know that the emperor is seriously ill.
Li Miao felt that the current situation in the court should be beneficial to Rong Ning's second house. The affairs of the former prince will also disappear completely with the death of the emperor. One generation of emperors and one generation of ministers!
The knife on Rong Ning's head has disappeared. No one cares about the current chaotic situation in the court. The Rong Ning Mansion has completely lost its power in the military.
Of course Li Miao was happy for Rong Ning's second house. The karma between him and Rong Ning's second house was too deep. Most of Li Miao's women came from Rongning's second mansion. Rong Ning's Second Mansion has always been Li Miao's biggest worry.
Now that the crisis in the Rongning Second Mansion was finally lifted, Li Miao suddenly felt relieved. Rongguo Mansion is currently handling Jia Baoyu's marriage. It looks like this formation is going to be big!
Thinking about it, the most urgent thing in Rongguo Mansion now is money. The Xue family now has more money. But it was hard for Li Miao to say anything, as his busy work was destined to be in vain.
The news that the emperor is seriously ill will soon spread throughout the capital. No matter how happy the Rongguo Mansion is by then, it will probably keep a low profile.
Li Miao said goodbye to Mrs. Shi and went to the east courtyard to meet her father-in-law Jia She. Li Miao saw that Jia She changed his previous decadent appearance. So full of energy.
Even the banknote that Li Miao handed over showed no interest.
Li Miao suddenly felt bad. Jia She must have known that the emperor was seriously ill. Logically speaking, Jia She should not be aware of such important news.
Li Miao felt that she was still negligent. This sudden change is no small matter. All kinds of monsters, monsters, and snakes began to come out and move around. Even Jia She began to gear up.
From Jia She's point of view, he is a dignified heir to the Rongguo Mansion. What a day it was. Now that the emperor has been deposed, doesn't it mean that Jia She can stand on the stage of history again?
No matter what he said, Jia She was still the inheritor of the Rongguo Mansion. A dignified first-grade general. Once there was no suppression from the emperor, his mind began to become more active.
As much as Jia She has been suppressed over the years, his enthusiasm is so high now.
Li Miao put away the banknotes, looked at Jia She indifferently and said. "If someone connives with you and regains control of the forces in the Rongning Second Mansion, then this person deserves to die!"
After saying this, Li Miao never looked at Jia She again. Got up and walked out. It's not that Li Miao looked down on Jia She. After so many years, Jia She had already become useless. The only advantage is that I still have some self-awareness.
Now even this advantage is gone. It would be better if Jia She listened to the advice, but it would be better if he didn't. Li Miao would arrange for someone to cripple him, and then find a farm where Jia She could slowly recover from his injuries.
Even if a useless snack like Jia She is killed, it won't make any waves. If it weren't for Jia Yingchun's sake, Li Miao wouldn't have put so much thought into Jia She.
Jia She is still thinking about regaining his power in the army. It's simply whimsical. Let’s not talk about Wang Ziteng’s current power in the army. Even without Wang Ziteng, Jia She would have no chance.
From generation to generation, emperors and ministers follow each other, and the same is true for the forces in the military. Rong Ning's Second Mansion has long been a thing of the past, so what's the benefit of people defecting to you?
One thing Li Miao is sure of is that the people who persuaded Jia She didn't really think that Jia She could accomplish this.
At best, it's just an attempt to muddy the waters. Good to fish in troubled waters!
