Chapter 106: The Battle for Status
(Collect!) Ask for recommendations! )
Li Pian smiled with a smug smile: "Haha! Since I was a child, I have been begging you behind your ass, but I didn't expect that now the third brother also has a time to ask me. ”
"Alright! I'll reveal a little bit to you, so that you can know my brother's methods of reaching the sky. ”
Seeing that Li Yi's face was uncertain, Li Pian hurriedly continued: "Hehe! Third brother, don't worry, let's talk about a few major events that happened in the court first! Is this the first big thing? ”
"Alas! It's depressing to say, Prime Minister Zhao has passed away when we came, and His Majesty has not only visited several times in the past few days, but also went to mourn in person this time, the scene is extremely touching! ”
"And the eldest son of Prime Minister Zhao, Lord Zhao, has also officially taken over the power of the cabinet, although he can only mourn at home now."
"But I heard that His Majesty only gave him one month of bereavement leave, and did not let him keep the three-year filial piety period, which shows that the emperor relies on him very much."
When Li Yi heard the news, he nodded sympathetically and said, "This old Prime Minister Zhao is my great benefactor!" If it weren't for their efforts to exonerate me, maybe I would still be suffering in the prison right now! ”
Li Pian nodded and said approvingly: "Yes! The relationship between our father and Prime Minister Zhao is also extraordinary. They have worked together for many years, pushing each other forward, and their friendship over the years has been very deep. ”
"So, since the death of Prime Minister Zhao, our father has been sitting in Zhao's Mansion with me and Li Chang, personally presiding over his funeral, and probably hasn't returned home yet!"
Of course, Li Yi didn't know who Li Chang was, and he thought that he was also the steward of the Hou Mansion, but it was inconvenient to ask, so he had to calm his thoughts for a while, and then asked, "What about other major things?" Tell me about it! ”
When Li Pian heard Li Yi's question, her eyebrows immediately became fluttering.
He said in high spirits: "If you want to talk about this second big thing, don't mention how inspiring it is." Didn't Your Majesty intend to let King Qin build the Generalissimo's Mansion last year and command the six armies? ”
As a result, it was opposed by most officials, and I remember that you also wrote against it at that time! That's why it's been a long time coming. ”
"Your Majesty has been closed since the death of the kings. I just came to the court last month, and I don't know what Your Majesty thinks, and once again issued an edict to build the Generalissimo's Mansion, and the iron heart wants to let the King of Qin take charge of the military power, in my opinion, this should be the result of Your Majesty's careful consideration. ”
"Therefore, the King of Qin began to build the Generalissimo's Mansion by edict, and recruited 3,000 ironclad guards from the army, the children of the royal family, and the children of officials above the fifth rank to serve as the personal guards of the Generalissimo's Mansion."
"Many of my friends have also entered the Shuai Mansion as they wished, and I heard that they were on errands there, not to mention how proud they were."
"The power is great, the limelight is sufficient, the salary is generous, the key is to do whatever you want, and live a very happy life."
"The third brother also knows that King Qin has always been good to me, and this time he also wants to summon me to go, promising to promote me to the captain of the Tiger Ben from the sixth rank first, and then seek promotion in the future, and a great future is in front of me. However, due to my father's strong opposition, I have not been able to make the trip, and I have survived until now I am only a small lieutenant of the cloud cavalry. ”
"Third brother, tell me, what does our father think? Could it be that he is pedantic and doesn't even care about his son's bright future? ”
Li Yi smiled slightly when he heard this: "It's not right for you to think like this, you must know that my father is a well-informed person, how can you not understand the stakes." His Majesty has never had the purpose of electing the crown prince, it is nothing more than to investigate and screen. ”
"Although King Qin is the longest now, His Majesty has high hopes for him, but, let's talk about it ourselves, I think King Qin may have been used to being free and casual, and his ability to govern the country is not outstanding enough, so it won't be long before His Majesty will get bored with him."
"Our father is old in the world, and he has long seen the trick, but it is inconvenient to explain it to you, don't you still understand his old man's painstaking efforts?"
Li Pian shook his head with a cold face, and still said angrily: "What painstaking work? The blind man can also see that the king of Qin is obviously the crown prince, and the crown prince is just a name, so what is there to doubt? ”
"I'll lean on it now, and I'll be able to struggle for a few less years, isn't it much better than working hard in the future?"
"If you don't say that you are all weak scholars, you can't even see this situation, and you won't be able to become a big climate in the future!"
Seeing that he was so stubborn, Li Yi smiled again and said: "Fourth brother, it's not that I want to talk about you, although my brother is far away in Yunnan, I can see the general trend of the court clearly." If the generations of King Qin and King Jin become emperors, our family will be in great trouble! ”
When Li Pian heard this, he said disdainfully: "I don't believe it!" You are obviously alarmist, the King of Qin and the King of Jin have nothing to say to me, so why should they embarrass us? ”
"I know what you mean, you just want me to join you in embracing that cowardly and incompetent King Yue. Alas! Although the king of Yue is benevolent, he can't settle down in literature, and he can't set the country in martial arts, he is just a nerd, and he can't see any kingly domineering spirit at all. ”
"Look at him! is full of mouths, only knows poetry and painting, even the king of Jin is much stronger than him, so I don't want to associate with such a person! ”
Li Yi shook his head and sighed, alas! This guy is really hopeless. He wanted to climb the high branches, but he didn't know that there were many dangers in it.
It's not so fun to get involved in the court battle. One didn't pay attention, but he took his life, and it was too late to regret it.
Seeing that he couldn't get the hang of it, Li Yi had no choice but to adjust his thinking, thinking to himself, now that the only person he can trust in the capital is him, and there will be many times when he can be used in the future.
Besides, he has a family relationship with himself after all, if he doesn't show him his hole cards, he won't give up.
Li Yi thought about it for a while, and said solemnly to Li Pian: "No matter what you think, but after all, I am a close brother with you, and I have experienced more things in the world than you, so I am more thoughtful than you." ”
"In the face of such a big thing, you have to listen to your brother, otherwise, you will regret it at that time."
"This king of Yue is a benevolent gentleman, even if he can't achieve the cause of the overlord. He is also much better as an emperor than the incompetent King of Qin and the violent King of Jin. ”
"Besides, my brother has always been attached to King Yue, which is a well-known thing for passers-by. My father clearly did not support King Qin's participation in military affairs, and now our family has become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of many people. ”
"If King Qin ascends the throne, he may be able to spare my father and me for the sake of your face. If the fierce and cruel King Jin ascends the throne, he will surely kill all his brothers. ”
"When the time comes, with the prestige of King Yue among the people, he will definitely bear the brunt, and he will definitely not end well as a brother. Is this what you, as a brother, are willing to see and face? ”
