"Father, this is a wonderful move. How can those barbarians in Xiqiang know etiquette? King Qiang will definitely be furious after receiving your letter. When chaos breaks out, the emperor will not ask you to go. calm."
Dou Zhun clapped his hands and praised, "The so-called warning to our Dou clan will only be to shoot ourselves in the foot."
"Don't underestimate our emperor, and don't ignore anyone." Dou Huaishan said.
"Father, are you referring to that Li Qian?" Dou Zhun chuckled, "A country boy is not worthy of our Dou family's attention, right?"
"A country boy?" Dou Huaishan sneered, "But Prince Jing is trying his best to win over him. Even the emperor pays attention to this person. Can he be an ordinary country boy?"
"Then what's so special about this kid?" Dou Zhun scratched his head.
"It doesn't matter to us what is special about him. Our Dou family has never lacked talents. We just need to pay attention to this person." Dou Huaishan said lightly.
"We don't have to get involved in the dispute between the crown prince and the third prince. No matter who becomes the emperor in the future, it will make no difference to our Dou family, because our Dou family will only be loyal to us!"
…
"Mr. Li, you have to be careful about Zhenyuan Marquis Dou Huaishan." Li Ran returned to the house and reminded Li Qian.
"Although nominally, the Dou clan has made great contributions to stabilizing the Western Qiang Kingdom over the years, who knows what hidden secrets are behind it? Otherwise, why would those Western Qiang people listen to the Dou clan so much?"
Li Ran said and drank a glass of wine. He originally planned to entertain Li Qian and his wife, but it turned out that Yun Niang had already prepared a table of food and wine, so he didn't care so much. Anyway, Mr. Li is a casual person, and he likes to be casual.
"I didn't offend him, why should I be careful?" Li Qian said with a smile.
"Didn't Mr. Li teach those Xiqiang envoys a lesson? He must have known about this matter. Although this matter will not be brought to the public, the Dou family and those Xiqiang people are basically the same group. This I'm afraid he will have to settle the accounts with Mr. Li sooner or later." Li Ran put down his wine glass and said.
"Is Marquis Zhenyuan really that powerful in the court?" Li Qian asked with a smile.
Li Ran nodded, "The Dou family's influence is not only in the west, but also in the north. No one in the court dares to offend Dou Huaishan. Even several old princes have to give way when they encounter Dou Huaishan."
"The fifth young master is just a prince, that's all." Li Qian said with a smile.
Li Ran sighed, "Mr. Li, you don't know that Dou Huaishan is my imperial grandmother's nephew. Although the imperial grandmother ignores government affairs, even my father dare not listen to her words, because my imperial grandfather was not Because of the support of the Dou family, the imperial grandmother cannot sit on the throne, let alone my father."
Li Qian smiled and nodded, "I understand, royal affairs are indeed very complicated."
"Since the Dou family is so powerful, why didn't the Crown Prince and Prince Jing make good friends with them?" Then he asked with a smile.
"Brother Three Emperors has never liked the Dou family, so it is impossible for him to show favor to the Dou family. As for the prince, he does have some contacts with the Dou family, but they are not deep. The Dou family has always been a neutral faction and has never shown any Who do they support, or do they only support themselves?" Li Ran said.
"It seems that the Fifth Young Master has a thorough understanding of the court situation." Li Qian picked up the wine glass, "I just don't know if the Fifth Young Master has any thoughts on the dragon chair?"
