Chapter 297: Taking the Burden
It's so unusual!
Was the emperor's move to avoid him, the commander, or Liu Jin, the deputy envoy who traveled with Hong Tao, Zhang Gui's henchman?
Li Liangfeng's eyebrows tightened.
Li Zisong said at the right time: "Father, no matter who Your Majesty does to avoid in this way, now it is time for us to make a choice. Your Majesty or Zhang Shoufu, does your father still need to think about it? ”
Of course, this doesn't need to be considered!
Last time, he agreed to Li Zisong's suggestion and stood up to speak for Zhang Lan and the British government, and he had already made a choice.
The reason why he did not completely break with Zhang Gui was because Zhang Gui did not take the initiative to give up his help, and he naturally did not want to lose this backer, who was now more majestic and stable than the emperor.
Li Liang has always believed that since life can be left and right, why bother to only walk on a single-plank bridge? Isn't it good to have multiple guarantees?
But now the emperor secretly wrote a letter to Li Zisong, explaining that Zhang Gui and the emperor's struggle for control of the Liaodong Army had reached an irreversible moment, and if he Li Liang wanted to fight left and right, it was very likely that he would be strangled by both sides!
"Jun is a minister, we are naturally firmly on His Majesty's side! It was, it is, and it always will be! Li Liang is righteous and awe-inspiring.
Li Zisong nodded, and was about to echo, when he heard Li Liang continue: "However, Zhang Shoufu is powerful, and even His Majesty has to avoid his edge and retreat behind, and our Li family will not be able to afford to offend......"
Li Zisong almost laughed angrily when he heard it.
When has it been, my father still says that he is righteous and awe-inspiring, but when he really does things, he looks different.
Zhang Guinian is close to the sixtieth year, how many more years can he reign? As soon as Zhang Gui dies and the emperor is in power, who of Zhang Gui's henchmen can check and balance the monarchy like him?
At that time, will there be a place for the Li family to stand on the wall? Even if it is a fluke, it will completely lose the sacred heart, and the only thing waiting for the Li family is the decline of the river and oblivion.
Li Zisong was about to argue, when he heard Li Liang continue: "So the only one who can reply to Your Majesty is you!" ”
Li Zisong was stunned when he heard this, and he was puzzled for a while.
Li Liang sighed and said, "Your Majesty specially ordered Hong Yushi to avoid everyone and quietly deliver a letter to you, which shows that there is suspicion between the Liaodong Army and Zhang Shoufu. As the commander of Liaodong, his father is deeply involved with Zhang Shoufu, and even if he supports His Majesty with a clear banner now, it will never be possible to gain all the trust of His Majesty.
"But you're different. You are the heir of the Li family, the future commander of the Liaodong Army, and you have never been in contact with Zhang Shoufu selflessly, and last time you spoke up for Zhang Lan and the British government......
"The most important thing is that Your Majesty directly crossed over to the Father and handed the letter into your hands, which shows the trust in you!
"Although this trust came out inexplicably, there may also be an intention to separate our father and son......
"But no matter what, you are definitely the most suitable person for the Li family to serve His Majesty at the moment!
"Child, the future of the Li family and the Liaodong Army will be entrusted to you as a father!"
Li Zisong was stunned and said, "Father, I ......"
He is naturally loyal to His Majesty, but if he wants to cross his father and the boss, and carry the future and fate of the Li family and Liaodong, is this burden too heavy and too early?
Li Zisong was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to carry this burden.
Knowing the son is more than the father.
Seeing this, Li Liang raised his hand and patted Li Zisong's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, from today onwards, you will pave the way for your father!" Whether it is the Li family or the Liaodong Army, they will soon obey your orders! ”
