Jidu, the royal palace.
The cold beauty bowed her head at the table, marked each memorial with inscriptions, and considered sending it back if something didn't feel right.
Now in a sense, she is equal to the emperor, because now that he is a king, he is still practicing Taoism. Perhaps he is aware of the gods and ghosts in the underworld, and now he is even more superstitious and practicing.
There are also reasons because the power has been emptied out, and they have to change from pretending to hide one's strength and biding time, to really hiding one's strength and biding time, and they have no choice but to be emptied out.
Looking at the stacked memorials, Concubine Li's cold and charming face couldn't help but feel a little more satisfied from the bottom of her heart.
There is a word used to describe people like them, workaholics.
The more you work, the more energetic you become. What kind of physique is this? People like Zhuang Xun cannot understand it. But for Concubine Li, having power can make her feel endless happiness.
This feeling of dominating the world can make her so excited that she can't sleep, and even work tirelessly and tirelessly.
Standing up, wearing colorful ribbons and silk, decorated with pearls and jade, he took the lotus steps and climbed up to the balcony, where he had a panoramic view of the whole thistle.
She showed a faint smile, and the entire Jidu, and even the entire Chengguo, were implementing her approval to replace Empress Gao and rule the world. Thinking about it, she felt very high-spirited. After all, she won.
The weak wind blew against her cheek, and she even wanted to compose a poem. However, due to the restrictions of her status, she killed this idea as soon as it came up.
She could use her status as a concubine to go to Zhu Pi to give memorials, and she could climb to the observation deck to view the scenery of Jidu, but she could not make any remarks from her mouth.
It's sad that the great country is full of beauty, but she can't express any words of praise, but even so, her mood is happy.
In a sense, she is already the master of the harem, and even the master of the kingdom, because the real king may not be as effective as her words.
After Zhuang Xun left, the Li family began to fully control Chengguo. Qinghe even avoided his influence. Li Pingyuan's grand master kept his word, and Li Shaoyun's concubine acted as king. It was as if Chengguo belonged to the Li family.
The clan and non-Li family forces quickly moved closer to King Qinghe, forming a tendency to fight against each other, one in the east and the other in the west. If they were not afraid of Li Pingyuan's handsome talent, they might have ended and started fighting.
Not only King Qinghe wanted to fight, Concubine Li also wanted to fight, thinking of killing King Qinghe to stabilize the world and completely control Chengguo.
But Li Pingyuan disagreed. According to his words, he killed a Qinghe King, a Qingjiang King, and a Qinghu King. There were many people who supported him from the aristocratic families. If he did not solve the problem, it would be better to accumulate strength, work hard on internal affairs, and use fewer weapons. disaster.
Li Shaoyun could understand, but she still couldn't help but think that it would be great if the Li family could completely control Chengguo, so maybe they wouldn't have to tie their hands.
But when she thought about the Li family's complete control over Chengguo, she had another possibility, which was the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha. Her heart ached vaguely, and she agreed with Li Pingyuan's statement.
The Li family, which has complete control over Chengguo, will undoubtedly overthrow the Dou family and establish itself as king. So as the imperial concubine of the previous dynasty, even the Li family has made contributions. The Qingdeng Ancient Buddha is the destination, at least for a period of time. .
She won't treat her harshly. Maybe she wants to marry again, and her family will let her get married, and then find a secret place to live. Her father will pamper her a little, her younger brother will respect her a little more, and regardless of etiquette, they will make her the eldest princess and recruit a consort. Then ended his remaining days.
It was impossible for her to have access to power again, not even at all. If she, a former imperial concubine, touched power, she would arouse the fear of others.
It was also because of this thought that Empress Gao was sent to the cold palace, and she did not become a queen. After all, the former empress and the former concubine were two different concepts, and their status was far different.
Thinking of this, she felt troubled again. The breeze took away her troubles, which only made her feel more uncomfortable. She hoped that the Li family would be good, but also hoped that the Li family would not be too good.
Think about whether you should go back and read the excerpt again, check for any gaps, find out if there are any points that you didn't think of, and stop thinking about these troublesome things.
"Your Majesty, Grand Master, please see me." The palace maid conveyed the news. After taking a look at the bustling Jidu, Li Shaoyun caught up with the palace maid Yangmei beside her and walked away gracefully.
Arrive at Fuqin Palace, tidy up your appearance, sit upright, and accept Li Pingyuan's ceremonial visit.
Li Pingyuan behaves like a very rule-abiding person. Everyone knows that he is someone who wants to break the rules, but they can't find any points where he breaks the rules.
Waiting politely, bowing politely, waiting behind the curtain, as if receiving a prisoner, for the palace concubine, the royal city is indeed a prison.
However, as the warden, Li Shaoyun is naturally different and full of joy. She is one of the few palaces who can be happy, but she is used to showing others a cold face and maintaining dignity.
"Dad, what's the matter?" After the etiquette was completed and everyone left the room, Concubine Li asked. After all, today was not the time for a regular meeting.
"I'm going to conquer Youguo." Li Pingyuan said calmly, as casually and naturally as if he said I was about to eat.
"Dad, the overall situation of Chengguo cannot be without you at this moment. If you are gone, what will happen to the Li family? King Qinghe will not miss this opportunity." Concubine Li was startled and said hurriedly.
Now most of the Li family is tied to Li Pingyuan. If Li Pingyuan doesn't have three strengths and two weaknesses, the Li family won't be able to support it for long.
With Li Ping far away, it is easy for people with malicious intentions to spy. A typical example is King Qinghe who is currently fighting in the ring, avoiding Li Pingyuan's power, but both sides know that the other is the enemy.
"I will take him with me. Not only that, but none of the aristocratic families in the country can escape." Li Pingyuan was determined to leave and had already made preparations.
"How can King Qinghe be so obedient? Dad, You Country is a country of tigers and wolves full of monsters. Why take such risks and wait for it to fend for itself? Isn't it good?" Concubine Li persuaded. In her opinion, You Country across the river Country, what does life and death have to do with them?
"He doesn't want to go either. He has no choice but to leave You Guo alone. In the end, it won't be him who is separated from You Guo by the water." Li Pingyuan stroked his beard, and the positions of Cheng Guo and You Guo disappeared in his mind. Again.
"Isn't that just right? Let him deal with Youguo." Concubine Li said without mercy, having already thought of how to send King Qinghe to his death.
"The problem is that it's not something we can handle. You Guo must break his legs so that he can't get up." Li Pingyuan narrowed his eyes coldly.
"Why, they lost 600,000 troops, and now King You is still driving the army to quell rebellions everywhere, so why bother with him." Li Shaoyun felt that this was not a choice that his wise father could make.
"Because you have said that You Country is a demon country, it is a real demon country. We have no intention to compete for his land for the time being, but they have the intention to seize our land. The most important thing is that my prestige is not enough. not enough."
Li Pingyuan sighed and said that he also understood that this was a risky move, but if he didn't do it, he would suffer more pain in the future, and he also needed reputation.
"Dad, haven't you forgotten your previous policy? Why, we are already the largest aristocratic family, and this policy is of no benefit to us at all." Li Shaoyun is very smart, and Li Pingyuan said that his reputation is not enough , she immediately thought of the radical policy before.
"Two reasons. First, we will not only become the No. 1 family in the future, but there is also a possibility. Furthermore, if the country cannot collect taxes, our family will not be able to collect taxes, and sooner or later we will follow in the footsteps of the Dou family.
Second, not only the You Kingdom, but also the days of war among other countries are coming. Reform must be carried out in order to enhance the national strength. At this moment, if we do not seize the opportunity to completely defeat the You Kingdom and complete the reform, they will come back in a few years, and even the Zhao Kingdom will fight. , then it will be too late, you and I will both be slaves to the subjugation of the country. "
Li Pingyuan's words were very serious, and the meaning was very obvious. What the Li family wanted to do now was to replace it with something that was conducive to the reform of the royal family, which would naturally be beneficial to them.
Another reason is that the time for countries to fight against each other has come. If we don’t quickly reform and strengthen our country, we will wait to be destroyed.
"Because of the road problems, can the countries fight?" Li Shaoyun expressed doubts. The existing territories were obtained after repeated battles. The control of mortals has reached its limit. Maybe it is easy to destroy a certain country, but it is easy to establish a direct Political power is extremely difficult because people are ambitious.
After several rebellions and independence, everyone has acquiesced in the current territory. It seems that no country is willing to spend a lot of money and food to do such a thing.
"We are going to fight for the throne." Li Pingyuan took a deep breath and told the news.
"Isn't the emperor always here? Dad, you mean, the emperor of Kyushu?" Li Shaoyun first thought it was the emperor's position, then thought of the throne of King Cheng, and later realized that it was the emperor's position of Kyushu.
"That's right, for the position of the Emperor of Kyushu, the war between the nations is about to begin. It is called the fight for the dragon. It is the fight for the big dragon of Jiuzhou." Li Pingyuan affirmed, popularizing the knowledge of the fight for the dragon.
"My daughter understands, go ahead, dad. My daughter will take care of the country." Since Li Pingyuan said so, after listening to it, Li Shaoyun thought for a moment and agreed with Li Pingyuan's words, although she didn't understand the meaning of fighting for the dragon. It's not very clear, but Li Pingyuan is a targeted person.
"Thank you for your hard work, you have to worry more than that bastard Chengzhi. That guy is always angry with me, and I don't dare to tell him about fighting for the dragon." The eldest daughter's sensibleness made Li Pingyuan smile, and then Li Chengzhi took it out and set an example.
"Brother, he has a pure heart. Dad, please don't be angry with him." There was a smile on Li Shaoyun's cold face.
"The wooden fish's head is like a child's heart. You are in charge. If it is not a bottom line issue, you can coordinate more. I believe in your wisdom. This is also a gamble. If you win the bet, you will be forced into exile. If you lose, you will be forced into exile. Be prepared." Li Pingyuan cursed again and told Li Shaoyun.
"Winning the bet is not necessarily a good road. Dad, what you want to do is too impactful." Li Shaoyun smiled bitterly. It is obvious that his father should have a stable temper. He gambled twice in a row and fought with Youguo. Prime Minister Gao's The trap is framed, and this is the third time.
"Yes, then there is nothing to be afraid of. In life, you can only win all the time." Li Pingyuan said calmly.
"That's it, you can only win all the time and save yourself in the battles." Living in the turbulent palace, not fighting means giving up, so Li Shaoyun can understand Li Pingyuan, and she is also proactive.
"Not only do I want to protect you, you, Chengzhi, and your mother, if I don't give it a try, I'm just waiting for slow death. I killed so many people in You Kingdom, and You Kingdom slows down. With the character of King You, you will definitely retaliate. If you don’t kill me, your brother and you will also suffer.”
Li Pingyuan could see clearly that the deep hatred between him and the You Kingdom could never be solved by surrendering, and it was impossible for you to give him credit as a member of the Monster Clan. He could only beat the drowned dog and take advantage of this wave to completely kill the monster King You. Ease.
"Where's Ru Si? Daddy, don't forget her." Li Shaoyun smiled softly, relaxing the solemn atmosphere.
"How could I forget, Zhuang Xun..." Li Pingyuan's teeth clenched when he mentioned Li Rusi.
"Dad, don't be angry. My brother-in-law also respects Ru Si's choice. Otherwise, wouldn't all his martial arts skills be wasted?" Li Shaoyun knew what Li Pingyuan was angry about. Li Rusi was engaged in the military, and the old father was very angry.
"If I had known that he couldn't control this or that, why would I marry my daughter to him?" Li Pingyuan said angrily. When it comes to his own children, he doesn't have the calmness to strategize.
"You've already married, how can you regret it? In Ru Si's letter to me, she said that she lived a very happy life, and her brother-in-law loved her very much." Individuals have personal happiness, and they are happy when they have power. Li Rusi is happy in war, but there is no What a distinction between superior and inferior.
"Can she not be happy? Everything is up to her, the sword is ruthless, the battlefield is ruthless..." Li Pingyuan became angrier as he spoke.
"Then, daddy, are you going to stop the aid to Jiannan and Hanoi? Or bring Ru Si back? For what reason?" Li Shaoyun asked back.
This wave of rhetorical questions made Li Pingyuan's majestic face flush a little, and his voice was stuck in his throat, as if someone had strangled his neck.
"Relax, you are in another country and there is nothing you can do to interfere. If you don't relax, the more you think about it, the angrier you will become. My brother-in-law is spending your money and your people..." He saw Li Pingyuan's expression change. Black, Li Shaoyun couldn't speak any more.
"You don't worry too much. You said such words to make me angry..." Li Pingyuan coughed twice. Li Shaoyun did this on purpose, and he could tell.
"I'm not angry with dad, I'm asking dad to figure it out. You can't interfere. Think on the bright side and at least find a way out, right?" Li Shaoyun showed a smile when he saw that it was working.
"The way forward is to help him bring peace to Yu State, and then let him be the king of Yu happily." Li Pingyuan thought of the increasingly tense situation in Yu State. It can be said that the battle for the right to inherit the throne is about to end in war. .
"Perhaps, if I really want you to help me, father, to fight for the emperor of the Nine Provinces, if my brother-in-law can win the Yu Kingdom, it will be a huge help to us. Since you, father, have made the arrangements, there is no way you will not help my brother-in-law." Li Shao Yun smiled and tried to discredit her father.
"Besides, he has done well in Jiannan. Although he relies on his wife's ability, the family also praises Mrs. Wei. Maybe he can take over the Yu Kingdom by himself without any help." Li Pingyuan predicted.
"My daughter has also heard about it. Who is this Mrs. Wei? She is originally from Xihe County. Why was she not famous before?" Li Shaoyun frowned. She had seen Zhuang Xun, but not Siqin Mi. So, A capable person has no name.
"Don't worry about it. Zhuang Xun trusts her anyway. I'm going to leave..." Li Pingyuan didn't think too much.
He will try his best to think about anything he can think of, and will not waste energy on anything he can't think of.
