Not forcing his head out, it is better to be still than to move, which has always been Li Zhongyi's magic weapon to deal with the sinister political situation. Moreover, Li Zhongyi has repeatedly benefited from this, which makes Liu Jinshan admire him so much.

Now, although Li Zhongyi has been appointed as the head of the Southern Expeditionary Army, because Liu Jinshan's seal is in power, the Kaifeng Mansion is still his territory.

On the contrary, Li Gu and Wang Pu attacked Fan Zhen five times and three times, but each time they made a lot of noise, but with little effect.

Not only that, but because he and Fan Zhen became mortal enemies, the authority held by Li Gu and Wang Pu was shrinking day by day, and the resentment between them deepened.

Liu Jinshan often has a real illusion that Li Gu and Wang Pu, who are eager for power, happen to become a stepping stone for Li Zhongyi to expand his power.

To put it bluntly, Li Zhongyi's interest in the territory of Kaifeng Mansion is very limited.

Li Zhongyi has always kept in mind the truth that political power comes out of the barrel of a gun: there are all kinds of power in the world, and military power is the most important!

In the past, Li Zhongyi had personally experienced an incident that left a deep impression on him. When a certain tax administrator went to a brand store to collect taxes, he may have opened his mouth too much, and the extra asking price was too high, and as a result, the quarrel between him and the shopkeeper developed from a quarrel to pushing each other, or even being rude.

After someone called the police, two ordinary policemen in uniform arrived in time, and the attitude of the shopkeeper was immediately much calmer and very cooperative.

Although this matter is small, it is enough to take a peek at the leopard: special people who hold the right to legally harm violently have always been respected (feared) by the people!

This so-called, the people's will is like iron. The official law is like a furnace, you must not ignore it!

Li Zhongyi's strategic plan. I want to wait for Zhao Lao Er to do it first, and then. He will clean up the mess so that the benefits can be maximized and the obstacles minimized.

Whether it is the Son of Heaven or the Son of Heaven, Li Zhongyi realized a key point, if he wants to obtain the phased cooperation of the scholars and doctors, it is indispensable to be righteous!

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Mengde overthrew Yuan Shao. did not dare to abolish Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and directly usurped the throne as emperor. Among them, the core problem lies in the attitude of the gate valves towards the Eastern Han Dynasty royal family.

Before and after Cao Cao called the King of Wei, the power represented by Xun Yu, who was loyal to the Han family, was still quite powerful, which was the political reality.

Therefore, Emperor Wei Wu, who swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger. Forced to compromise.

Returning to the situation that Li Zhongyi is facing now, it may be different from Cao Cao's era, but the situation is roughly similar.

Of course, Li Zhongyi is better than Brother Cao Mengde. There are also many magic weapons, including the promotion system that he has been enforcing to make officers and soldiers literate.

After Mao Runzhi took the country. One of the most important political measures is not land reform. Instead, millions of veterans were arranged to change jobs and grasp the power at the grassroots level.

Rely on the maintenance of your own people. It is possible to sit firmly in the country, this is a wise saying that is valid everywhere!

That's right, Li Zhongyi's biggest idea is actually to vigorously implement the system of military retirement and transfer to other jobs after he takes power.

The so-called old tradition of imperial power not being lower than the county, in Li Zhongyi's eyes, is worthless. The consequence of the imperial power not being in the county was the combination of the Eastern Han Dynasty's heroism and strength, and the loss of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains by the Blue Dynasty, and the lesson was not profound.

Li Zhongyi deliberately stayed in the barracks, and together with Yang Lie, Po Chaoyong and other hardcore brothers, he once again lived a happy life of eating meat and drinking wine in large bowls.

According to the Privy Council's transfer order, the army should assemble in the southern suburbs of Kaifeng City, and the Yulin Right Guard and the Dangxiang cavalry also followed Li Zhongyi to move to the southern suburbs.

Just before Li Zhongyi set out on the expedition, a battle broke out in the inner house of the Li family.

Li Zhongyi's flat wives and beautiful concubines, in order to snatch the qualifications to accompany them to the south, fought openly and secretly, causing a lot of trouble and restlessness.

The cause of the incident actually came from a sentence from Old Madam Xue!

After getting the appointment of Nanzheng, Li Zhongyi informed his parents as usual.

Li Dahe was quite confident in Li Zhongyi, and when he heard the news, he just told him to pay attention to his own safety, so he didn't say anything.

However, Mrs. Xue was always thinking about one thing, so she simply made her words clear, and she said: "Da Lang, there are not many concubines around you, if you are not pregnant, just take a few?" ”

Li Zhongyi was a little surprised at first, Mrs. Xue never interfered in his business, and she would not get involved, what was wrong?

Immediately afterwards, Li Zhongyi realized that someone must have blown a small breeze in Mrs. Xue's ears, which aroused all kinds of complicated emotions when Mrs. Xue was a concubine.

Thinking that back then, when the Cao family was in charge, the situation of Mrs. Xue, who was the concubine of the Li family, was really extremely difficult!

The Cao family relied on the fact that the Cao family was a famous family in Kuizhou, and from time to time they had to toss Mrs. Xue, so that Mrs. Xue suffered a lot of splint wrongs.

Li Dahe belongs to a typical scholar's school, and he has always asked less about the affairs of the house, and he will never spoil his concubine and kill his wife, and defend Mrs. Xue in front of the Cao family.

Of course, Li Dahe is by no means a ruthless person, he not only tried his best to secretly find a good future for Li Zhongyi, but also prepared a wedding house outside the house, and gave two hundred taels of silver cakes for the wedding money, which can be regarded as fulfilling the responsibility of a loving father.

Because of this, after Li Zhongyi flew to Huang Tengda, he has always been very filial to Li Dahe, even if he is not angry, he has done his best to give the necessary care.

Mrs. Xue's feelings made Li Zhong easily empathize with the scene and touch the scene. I think back then, if I hadn't given birth to his eldest son, I'm afraid Mrs. Xue's situation would have been more than ten times more difficult, right?

Next to Li Zhongyi, there are concubines who have never given birth, including: Peony, the three sisters of the Jin family, and Zhu'er.

Among them, in addition to Zhu'er being a predetermined entourage, it is the three sisters of Peony and the Jin family.

As for the Sakura of Ryara, in fact, more often, the role of Li Zhongyi's "outer room" is not the identity of the concubine who was carried into the Li family from the corner gate.

Li Zhongyi pondered what Mrs. Xue meant, I'm afraid that she was soft-hearted, and she felt a little pity that Peony had no children with her so far?

Because of the notoriety of betraying the lord back then, Peony has indeed not been very favored, and the situation is very embarrassing.

In other words, although Li Zhongyi has cleaned up the peony, after all, he is a person who misses his old love, and he didn't do anything with the peony.

In particular, after Li Zhongyi entered the political hall, his horizons have also broadened a lot, and he still has the bearing of a prime minister who is tolerant of all rivers.

The slight resentment against peony has long faded with the pace of Li Zhongyi's gradual grasp of power.

However, Li Zhongyi thought about it a little more, Mrs. Xue spoke for Peony in disguise at this juncture, which was somewhat strange in itself.

Yes, since Zhe Saihua gave birth to twin daughters in one fell swoop, Tang Shuyi's emotions have been more or less wrong.

If Zhe Saihua just gave birth to a daughter, presumably, Tang Shuyi would not be so nervous, right?

Tang Shuyi's background and status are far inferior to the old warlords in the northwest, not to mention anything else, when the Yu Kou came to the capital, the heavy gifts he brought were loaded with more than a dozen carts.

Li Zhongyi instantly figured it out, Tang Shuyi wanted to pull peony medicine into the gang, how could he not give a big sweetness?

As the saying goes, it is difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, Li Zhongyi understood, deliberately pretended to be confused, and asked Mrs. Xue with a smile: "Mother, after all, the child is leading troops to the battle, surrounded by piles of concubines, I'm afraid it will be difficult to block the mouth of the imperial historian?" ”

Mrs. Xue raised her eyebrows and glared at Li Zhongyi, and said angrily: "You kid, when did your mother let you violate the rules of the imperial court?" Regarding your identity, bring a few concubines and maids to serve with you, above board, who will chew the root of your tongue? ”

Li Zhongyi tried it slightly, and let Mrs. Xue reveal the details, with Mrs. Xue's history of not understanding the major affairs of the court, Li Zhongyi could almost conclude that it must be Tang Shuyi's words secretly.

A woman's heart eye can tolerate everything when it is bigger, but on the contrary, it is smaller than the eye of a needle, and Li Zhongyi feels that some front-page headlines hurt.

When Li Zhongyi was not at home, if Tang Shuyi and Zhesaihua had a conflict, who could be cured?

"Mother's ......" Li Zhongyi just wanted to express his position, a thought flashed in his mind, and he suddenly realized, it turned out to be so!

Tang Shuyi has not come out since giving birth to Li Jiyi, and has been nesting at home to take care of the house affairs for Li Zhongyi.

This time, Tang Shuyi is probably using peony as an excuse, she wants to follow the man to go far away, right?

After Li Zhongyi figured it out, he couldn't help but shake his head secretly, he prided himself on being shrewd, but he didn't think that the women in the family were about to cultivate to perfection!

In the final analysis, it is still the fateful question of who will inherit the great business created by Li Zhongyi in the future!

Li Zhongyi secretly felt funny, how big is the current situation? The women started a battle in the open and dark, if in the future, when he stands at the peak of his life, God knows what kind of demon moth will be made?

Of course, the women of the Li family didn't know that Li Zhongyi had a plan, that is, to imitate the "secret storage" system that Emperor Yongzheng of the Manchu Qing Dynasty began to implement.

It is precisely because of the establishment of the "secret storage" system that since Yongzheng, the Manchu Dynasty's imperial succession has been freed from the dead cycle of boiling beans and burning beans and frying each other with the same root!

The core point of the so-called "secret establishment of reserves" system is not to appoint a prince in advance, so that the throne will always shake in front of the eyes of competitors.

Through the phenomenon, in essence, it is actually the old emperor deliberately hinting to his sons: as long as you behave well, everyone has a chance, and everyone can sit on the supreme chair.

People are profit-seeking animals, and before the opportunity to sit on that chair is completely lost, who will take the initiative to challenge the authority of the old emperor?

Li Zhongyi has not read a few Confucian classics, and he is not interested in the so-called inheritance system that readers have always been obsessed with: there is a succession system without a descendant.

In his opinion, the son who is most able to inherit his marine thoughts is the most qualified to take over his class and inherit the unfinished business that he is likely not to complete.

Meat, it's always rotten in the pot of the Li family, Li Zhongyi is still very young, he already has three sons, there will definitely be more sons in the future, the choice is not ordinary! (To be continued.) )
