Li Pingyuan could immediately feel the viciousness in Mrs. Jiang's heart, which made him deep in thought.
This is not a simple issue of palace fighting. When Zhuang Xun was still a junior deputy envoy of the Third Grade Jiedu, facing the married daughter Li Pingyuan, he refused to divorce his wife and married Li Rusi as his main wife. .
It can be seen how much Zhuang Xun likes his ugly wife. The follow-up also proved that his decision was correct. Si Qinmi's ability was recognized by many people.
Just as Mrs. Jiang said, how much contribution Si Qin Mi made to Zhuang Xun in establishing the country can be said to be a perfect response to Zhuang Xun's love for her and what Zhuang Xun said at the Wanshou Banquet: A good wife is virtuous. speech.
Since Zhuang Xun never left Siqin Mi when he was relatively poor, how could he pay attention to such a request now that he was so prosperous?
Now that Li Pingyuan makes this request, Zhuang Xun will definitely ignore it. If he is forced to forcefully, even if there was a chance for relaxation, it is gone now. This will cut off his escape route.
Not to mention that this request is not just a matter of palace fighting, it will make Zhuang Xun's right-hand man uncoordinated, and this matter will definitely cause conflicts between Si Qinmi and Li Rusi.
Even if Li Rusi gave in, it would still be a thorn in the side, forcing Li Rusi out of the core position and making Zhuang Xun's entire system not run smoothly.
Since Li Rusi returned to the Xia Kingdom, she was not sent to the eastern battlefield to attack the princes of the Yu Kingdom. This shows some clues. If there is a split proposal like Li Pingyuan's now, then the defense will be deeper.
And this proposal is also very appropriate. It is made by the father Li Pingyuan. It is very appropriate. It can explain that everything in the past was to ensure the status of the daughter and not hurt the relationship between the father and daughter.
At least from the outside, Li Pingyuan was protecting his cubs, which could be regarded as his father's love and protection. It was a little too much, but to Li Rusi, it was doting.
"Zhuang Xun is not the kind of person who doesn't care about anything for the sake of profit. It's useless for you to do this. He has already made his choice. Not to mention his wife, he treats his friends and relatives like this."
Li Pingyuan sighed while doing Tai Chi and said that Zhuang Xun's character was quite good in the eyes of his friends and relatives, but now Li Pingyuan was no longer considered Zhuang Xun's relative or friend.
"Of course I know this, so I have to do this to create a crack. Wei Lanzhi is in charge of national affairs and Li Rusi is in charge of military affairs. The generals and ministers will be harmonious and the country will be safe. This is not good for us."
Empress Dowager Jiang had a clear mind. She had known Zhuang Xun's liking for Si Qin Mi for a long time. She saw how Zhuang Xun praised his wife at the Wanshou Banquet.
Happiness and pride can be proved by Zhuang Xun's subsequent refusal to divorce his wife and marry Li Rusi and let the second lady of the Li family give him a child.
The more this happens, the more it proves that there is a need for a breakthrough here. Zhuang Xun firmly refuses this kind of thing. Whatever Si Qinmi thinks and what Li Rusi thinks, there are many ways inside.
No woman would not want to become a head wife. Even if Li Rusi really thought so, would Zhuang Xun believe it? Moreover, Li Pingyuan had just imprisoned Zhuang Xun. As long as Zhuang Xun had the slightest suspicion, Li Rusi's military work would be affected.
This was also her purpose. She never thought about asking Zhuang Xun to depose and establish the queen, because if Zhuang Xun didn't have a brain disorder, he would not make such a mistake.
As long as Li Rusi reduces his military influence, the goal will be achieved. After all, a strong general like Li Rusi is considered a strategic level, so there is no need to kill Zhuang Xun.
"It's not okay to harm my daughter." Li Pingyuan shook his head. He was unwilling to directly harm Li Rusi.
The purpose of dealing with Zhuang Xun is for power and the opportunity to ascend to immortality, but the nature of dealing with the daughter he has raised for ten or twenty years is different.
No matter how vicious a tiger is, it is not his turn to use Li Rusi for conspiracy. Moreover, he concluded that Zhao Guo would definitely help him, so he directly gave a reason to refuse.
"But is this to protect Princess Li?" Empress Dowager Jiang was good at speaking and said to Li Pingyuan in a different way.
"Protect Ru Si?" Li Pingyuan pondered again, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Yes, according to the current situation, Princess Li will fight you sooner or later. Zhuang Xun has very few generals who can use his skills, so only Princess Li will take the lead."
Empress Dowager Jiang concluded that if Li Rusi gained Zhuang Xun's trust in the Xia Kingdom and the battlefield became fierce, she would definitely send her to the battlefield because Zhuang Xun had no generals available.
Standing on the opposite side of a big family is like this. Although Zhuang Xun seems to be powerful now, in fact, the core part is Jiannan Road.
Therefore, Zhuang Xun now desperately needs to recuperate. Not only does he need to balance the interest structure, but he also needs to form more talent networks to gain deeper control and expand his voice.
"The worst result of the Grand Master's request is that Princess Li will not appear on the battlefield and become hostile to the Grand Master, thus avoiding the tragedy of father and daughter fighting each other. Moreover, without Princess Li, when the Grand Master changes dynasties and changes in system, There is also less pressure from Zhuang Xun's side, why don't we consider this for Princess Li."
Li Pingyuan also nodded slightly. For this reason, he could avoid meeting on the battlefield and protect Li Rusi. The sword has no eyes. If his command killed Li Rusi, it would be unthinkable.
It would also be good news for Li Pingyuan if Zhuang Xun, who was suspicious of Li Rusi, could be prevented from being sent to antagonize him.
"Besides, it would not be more beneficial to Princess Li to strip off some of her power and return to her pure status as a princess. After all, Princess Li is engaged in the military and will definitely spend less time with Zhuang Xun. Losing some of her power may allow her to stay with Zhuang Xun for a longer period of time. "
Continuing to make up the good news, he didn't want to think about Zhuang Xun's attitude towards Li Rusi who could not be trusted. He was half and half, only half of whom he loved remained unchanged.
For the other half, if there is a complete misunderstanding, it will be held up high. Not to mention giving up completely, vigilance and secrecy are indispensable, and the gap will become wider and wider.
"Okay." Li Pingyuan listened. Not to mention completely beneficial, it was also a huge benefit.
He could make up for the damage done to Li Rusi after victory. The advantage of keeping Li Rusi from fighting with him was enough for him to demand Zhuang Xun. The other conditions were irrelevant.
Besides, this would really consume Zhuang Xun's strength and make Zhuang Xun cut off his own arm. Without Li Rusi's help, Zhuang Xun's military ability would immediately drop to a lower level. Secondly, he didn't want his daughter to go to the battlefield, so this was fine. .
Although Li Rusi is indeed strong, are there not many who die from such fierce generals? Many times, Li Pingyuan himself went into battle with the thought that he might die.
War is not a child's play, and he is conflicted. Although he has taught Li Rusi so much about military science and martial arts training, he does not want his daughter to go to the battlefield.
This was why he was so angry before. He wanted to see Li Rusi marry a banker and live a good life as a husband and raise children, instead of becoming a female general.
"I'll write a request right away." After being convinced, Li Pingyuan took action immediately.
"There's no rush, just wait a few days and write a letter to Hengdu first." Queen Mother Jiang shook her head and suggested from the side.
"Contact my daughter? Does this create the illusion of collusion?" Li Pingyuan still didn't understand Zhuang Xun as much as Empress Dowager Jiang did.
"No, leave it to Wei Lanzhi. Wei Lanzhi is a virtuous woman. If she is beneficial to Zhuang Xun, then she will give up her position as queen. Then the letter to Zhuang Xun must say that it was sent in error and send it to Hengdu went."
Empress Dowager Jiang continued to say with bad intentions, relying on her understanding of Zhuang Xun's family, she could predict Si Qinmi's operation. It was an inevitable choice for a woman who could be praised by Zhuang Xun to take care of Zhuang Xun's interests.
"In this way, Zhuang Xun will definitely return to Hengdu to stop it, and will also bring some troops to protect him back. Before the heavy snow closes the mountains, we can start to attack Yindu."
Empress Dowager Jiang's plan was vicious, and she went back to the original strategy to drive Zhuang Xun out of the Yu Kingdom.
"Drive Zhuang Xun away and continue to force him to establish a queen, right?" Li Pingyuan continued to think, pushing the envelope and not behaving like a human being.
If he could take back the land of Yu State and already have a big feud, but he still uses his power to suppress others, Zhuang Xun would not use Li Rusi at all, and Li Rusi would not gain the trust of the faction that supports Zhuang Xun in the army. .
"It's good that the Grand Master understands. As long as the Grand Master can take back Yu State, Zhao State will naturally not help the Cheng clan."
Queen Mother Jiang promised to give Li Pingyuan the two conditions he needed.
"Zhenqi has driven away Zhuang Xun, so you won't keep your promise. What you guys are doing in Jizhou is making friends from far away and attacking close by, provoking conflicts between all parties, and you will benefit. That's all. It's impossible to capture Yindu. He Heng is good at defending the city. , it’s just a conflict with Xia Guo according to your thoughts.”
Li Pingyuan is also an old fox. He was not fooled by the cakes painted by Empress Dowager Jiang. He could understand all the details in it.
That is to say, he seems to be weaker than Zhuang Xun now. If he is stronger than Zhuang Xun, Zhao Guo's face will definitely change.
"The grand master is joking. If we capture Yu State, what Zhao does will have no impact on the grand master. However, He Heng is indeed difficult to deal with. He is also loyal to Zhuang Xun and difficult to instigate rebellion. The grand master should pay more attention."
Mrs. Jiang reminded that He Heng's reputation did not spread as far as Li Rusi. After all, Li Rusi had the double bonus of being a woman and a fierce general. But looking at her resume, she knew that she could win big victories with less and defend more without being stimulated. A steady general.
"That's right. I'll try He Heng's quality. If you can capture it, it's the best. If you can't capture it, just keep the status quo and keep the King of Donghua."
Li Pingyuan discussed the conditions for the final outcome and looked at the resilience of Zhuang Xun's army. If he was vulnerable, he would attack Jiannan and drive Zhuang Xun away from Yu State. If he could not attack for a long time, he would maintain the status quo and resolutely not They fought to the death and let Zhao Guo take advantage.
Although the current situation is beneficial to Zhuang Xun, it is also beneficial to Li Pingyuan. He faces the same dilemma as Zhuang Xun. He also needs to urgently solve the problem of the domestic clan clan. It is best if he can directly drive Zhuang Xun away. The purpose of suppression was achieved, and Empress Dowager Jiang's request was not inconsistent with his interests.
"That's very good." Empress Dowager Jiang half-admitted that it was in Zhao's interest to have two people who were evenly matched but still had enemies fight each other. There was also a King of Donghua who was ready to pull the thighs of both sides at any time. The layout was perfect.
The discussion just now was about what was most likely to happen, that is, what to do for the status quo. We started talking about driving away Zhuang Xun's forces, but being able to drive Zhuang Xun out of Jizhou was an extreme situation.
After completing the layout and looking at Li Pingyuan's letter heading to Hengdu, Queen Mother Jiang relaxed and felt relieved, finally getting back on track.
Now it would be better to suppress Zhuang Xun, make Zhuang Xun and Li Pingyuan completely opposed, and save King Donghua, killing three birds with one stone. It would even be better if Zhuang Xun had to quarrel with Siqin Mi when he returned.
Even if Li Pingyuan attacks Yindu, Zhuang Xun and Si Qinmi realize that they have been deceived, but Li Rusi's awkward position also means that she cannot be reused, because Li Pingyuan supports her to be the queen, and she has thickened Li Ping's Despite the label, she is still a member of the Li family.
Queen Mother Jiang knew that Zhuang Xun had a deep relationship with his wife, but she believed in human nature more. No matter how gentleman Zhuang Xun acted before, she was not so greedy and shameless.
Pray to God, hope everything goes well, and let Jizhou go in the planned direction. Empress Dowager Jiang has been worried about Jizhou. She feels that handling state affairs for more than 20 years is not so tiring. She has been irritable a few times, lost her chastity, and taught maid.
Because Zhuang Xun is not one of those old foxes, although he is better at deceiving people than those old foxes, and he is better at packaging himself to make him look useless. In fact, he is very ambitious and ambitious, and he feels like Tianke's own enemy.
Queen Mother Jiang misunderstood something, but it won't be long before she will truly realize that Zhuang Xun is indeed a waste. Not only that, even if he is a waste, she will use her own genes to semi-voluntarily improve Zhuang Xun's genes.
Zhuang Xun felt bad after receiving the letter that was delayed for three days. Li Pingyuan requested that he canonize Li Rusi as queen. This was nothing. Although it was a reasonable request for Li Pingyuan, it was a whim for Zhuang Xun.
After all, it was a reasonable appeal to Li Pingyuan, so it was hard for Zhuang Xun to say anything. His father hoped that his daughter would become the queen, so he used formality and force to force him.
It's not strange to have such an idea, but it's strange not to have such an idea. The queen represents too many things. Taking advantage of the situation to give way to the queen, Zhuang Xun can only say that he doesn't agree, but he understands.
But at the end, he said that the letter had been sent to Hengdu by mistake, and Zhuang Xun couldn't help it.
"Asshole, what kind of damaging move is this?" Zhuang Xun could imagine Si Qinmi's attitude after seeing this letter, respectfully giving up the throne as queen?
In the beginning, Si Qinmi vowed to defend his position as the head wife to the death, but now I just want you, Mr. Lang, to be good to you.
The more she behaves like this, the more Zhuang Xun feels indebted. When his body enjoys the pleasure of delicate flowers everywhere, he will feel that he is not a human being in his sage state.
In addition, Zhuang Xun has an extra layer of pity for Siqin Mi, so the only queen in Zhuang Xun's heart is this one. From the initial care to the clothes he sewed, Zhuang Xun remembers everything. Don't look at it now. No matter how old he is, he will be the little husband who washes Si Qinmi's feet when he comes home.
As Empress Dowager Jiang expected, Zhuang Xun no longer cared about playing with his wife and concubines, so he hurried to Hengdu.
Cheng Diegguan met Li Rusi who was also rushing to Yindu. She had a tall horse and a handsome and heroic face in her fur coat.
As if recreating the scene where Ji Du took her home, Zhuang Xun invited her to get into the car, but she flatly refused.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, you have been dismissed."
I insist on finishing it. I had a diffuse hole done today. My eyes are blurry. The quality may not be high. Please forgive me. After the examination, I said it was nothing serious. Just keep it from getting worse.
