At the same time that Chai Shao's father and son were preparing to leave the city, many wealthy families in Chang'an City also received the news, and in an instant, the entire capital undercurrent surged!

Daxing Palace, Lizheng Palace.

Li Er stood by the window, looking at the sunset outside, speechless for a long time.

Empress Changsun stood behind Li Er, her face was a little anxious, he saw that Li Er had not spoken, and couldn't help whispering.

"Why is this Yi'er so confused? How could you do such a stupid thing? ”

After hearing this, Li Er shook his head and smiled.

"Guanyin, do you really think that kid is confused for a while?"

Empress Eldest Sun was stunned. "Isn't it?"

Li Er sighed, his eyes looking into the distance, without focus.

"You, you still don't know that kid, that kid will think about everything before doing anything, even if he drinks, he will be prepared for anything. Otherwise, for such a long time, can you see that he has made a gaffe after drinking? ”

"It's... I haven't seen the concubine before, but how to prepare for this drunkenness? ”

"Do you remember the girl next to Yi Boy?"

"Ice jade?"

"Yes, that little girl looks taciturn and ordinary. But in fact, that girl is smarter than anyone else under Li Yi's training, and on this trip to Weinan, that girl has been hiding behind her back and arranging all the trivial things for Li Yi, otherwise, do you think that Yi boy will have so much energy to accompany us? ”

A hint of Qi flashed in the eyes of the eldest grandson queen, the eldest grandson queen was already smart, and in general, Li Er only needed to get up, and the eldest grandson queen could comprehend it. The reason why Bing Yu was ignored this time was just like Li Er's, Bing Yu's usual sense of existence was too low, and no one would pay too much attention to it. But as long as you pay a little attention, you will find that the wisdom behind the ice jade is hidden.

"If Li Yi was really drunk, Bing Yu would never let this happen, so this incident was done on purpose by that kid!"

"And what is his purpose?"

Li Er's eyes narrowed, and he said slowly: "In order to avoid suspicion, in order to express one's position, in order to.... Let me rest assured! ”

When Empress Eldest Sun heard this, she immediately fell into deep thought.

Li Er didn't care about Empress Changsun, but whispered to himself: "Li family, pharmacist Li Jinggong is the master." The eldest grandson, Li Yi, is extremely wise and powerful; The Jinding Business Alliance, the Charity Foundation, the Shanshui College, and the Military Academy are all run by Li Yi, and Li Yi doesn't say a word in these places, it's almost the same, not to mention, even the Royal Money House and the Longmen Dart Bureau in the future are inseparable from Li Yi's shadow! Therefore, even if everyone in the Li family has no official position or position, just with these, the Li family is enough to be invincible! ”

"The Military Academy controls the military strength, the Shanshui Academy controls the talents, the Jinding Business Alliance controls the financial resources, and the charitable foundation controls the prestige. As long as anyone has mastered these four things, it is enough to threaten the royal family, and even if they want to rebel, it will be effortless! Li Yi is a smart man, so from the beginning, he decentralizes all the power. ”

"The position of the dean of the Military Academy and the Shanshui Academy, he left it to me, the Jinding Business Alliance, he handed it over to Ke'er, and even the charitable foundation, he also handed it over to the people of the royal family - Changle! Even in order to avoid suspicion, even his aunt Cui Shi left the charity foundation! ”

"Therefore, these four places are all firmly in the hands of the royal family! However, these four places are inseparable from Li Yi, and they can't be released in any place, which has also created a situation where the apparent power belongs to the royal family and the secret power is in the hands of Li Yi. However, there is no way, if these four places want to develop, they are absolutely indispensable, I know this, and he knows it. Therefore, in order to reassure me, he stated again and again that the incident during the Chinese New Year was, in essence, caused by this reason. This is my helplessness, and it is also his helplessness! ”

Empress Changsun listened to Li Er's self-report, and the more she listened, the more frightened she became, although he was also used to seeing conspiracies and intrigues and court struggles, but she couldn't think so deeply and so much like Li Yi and Li Er. She always thought that Li Yi was her quasi-son-in-law, that is, half of her son, but in fact, she did regard Li Yi as her own son.

Moreover, he has always thought that the relationship between Li Er and Li Yi is very good, just like the last time Li Yi and Li Er made a move, it was also a tacit understanding between the two, there is no difference between seniority, status, right and wrong, that is, the two of them are like children, the way they vent to each other, it is also a tacit understanding of the people who came, in fact, neither of them took it seriously, to put it bluntly, it was venting!

But it is precisely this kind of venting that just shows that the relationship between the two must be very good and tacit! But Empress Eldest Sun didn't expect that behind this tacit understanding, there was such a thrilling calculation hidden between the two.

Empress Eldest Sun's face was dull and she didn't say anything.

Li Er didn't seem to see the change in the face of the eldest grandson queen, and was still talking to himself.

"Hehe, this time, in fact, it is still a compromise and statement from Yi Xiaozi to me. As soon as the military academy opened, his status also rose, and even returned to the state of the previous year, so, in order to avoid suspicion, he took the initiative to give up the shares of the business alliance. Moreover, he also told me through this incident that he, Li Yi, would not be greedy for money, let alone power, and that whatever he had, whatever should not belong to him, he would return it to me little by little. ”

Speaking of this, Li Er actually smiled. "And the reason why I chose Chai Zhewei is that on the one hand, I want to give this matter a step, otherwise if he really gives it to me directly, then it is estimated that this matter will freeze again, and maybe the two of us will have to quarrel again!" As soon as he remembered the scene of arguing with Li Yi, the corners of Li Er's mouth couldn't stop laughing, however, it didn't take long for a trace of bitterness to appear in this smile.

"On the other hand, Chai Shao had a holiday with him, and attracting Chai Shao into the Shang Alliance was to introduce an enemy to himself, and the Shang Alliance bid farewell to the previous monolithic situation, which was more conducive to my control! Hehe, this kid, what a thoughtful thought! ”

Empress Eldest Sun frowned.

"Isn't this what Jiro wanted?"

"Yes, how not? What did Yi Boy do that didn't suit my heart? Li Er said self-deprecatingly, however, Li Er's face suddenly surged with a hideousness.

"But that's not what I intended, hmph, that stinky boy thought I would doubt him, he thought I would check and balance him, he thought I never believed him! He's always been so self-righteous and smart! You asked him to ask himself, did I say a word that I didn't trust him all along? ”

"What does Jiro really want?"

"What I really want is that newborn calf is stunned Li Wenyong!"

Empress Eldest Sun suddenly smiled. "In the concubine's body and mind, Yi Boy has never changed!"

Li Er's body was shocked.

After a long time, Li Er came back to his senses and withdrew all his thoughts, as if what had just happened did not exist.

looked at the eldest grandson queen, smiled, and said: "Decree, let the crown prince Li Chengqian enter the military academy and Shanshui Academy to study for one year as a student, and let Li Tai, the king of Yue, enter the Shanshui Academy to study as a student." During the period, obey the orders of Li Yi, the prince of Weinan County, and there must be no mistakes! ”
