Chapter 19: Position
The method Situ Ran said can be regarded as a reasonable method. But Li Jiangwei knew that asking her brother to do this kind of thing was simply scolding.
Her brother Li Jiangyu will definitely finish mocking herself, and then go to mock Yu Yongyi. The second brother made a small move in secret to stop Yu Yongyi from pursuing him, and Li Jiangwei was not surprised.
As for Situ Ran's side......
"I don't think your brother will accept this offer at all."
"Not necessarily!" Situ Ran said decisively: "If the princess Tutoya really marries the king of Qin, then King Tipu will definitely prefer that the next emperor will be the king of Qin." You don't know the emperor's attitude over the years......"
The emperor's attitude towards the imperial concubine is neither like a father facing his daughter, nor like an emperor looking at his prince. There is no pampering, and there is no sternness.
In the case of Xiajiang, Li Jiangwei originally thought that the emperor's letting the emperor go south was a test, which could accumulate fame for her, so that she would have less opposition when she succeeded to the throne in the future.
However, when Xiajiang gradually improved, Chu Yongrui, the king of Zhao, was sent south to carve up the merits of the imperial concubine. At the same time, Yu Yongyi, who was stationed in the capital, received a lot of work to review and fold, which exercised her ability to handle official affairs.
If it's just balancing forces, isn't that a bit too much? This doesn't feel like balancing the power between the princes, but like cultivating opponents for the emperor.
Or was it too naΓ―ve to see what I had seen before? Or do you read too few history books of struggle yourself?
Li Jiangwei felt a little brain pain, "You mean...... King Tipu's attitude may affect the final choice of the crown prince? But the second princess has been canonized as the imperial concubine, and as long as she doesn't make mistakes, she won't be abolished easily. If the emperor really planned to abolish the imperial concubine, the flood in the lower river would have been abolished long ago. β
"But at that time, except for the imperial concubine, it was King Zhao. Behind King Zhao is the Ning family, if you want to support King Zhao, you must first attack the Ning family, so as not to interfere in politics with relatives in the future. And Ning Cheng is necessary, unless there is someone else who can take Ning Cheng's place. It's different now than it was then! Now there is one more King of Qin! β
Li Jiangwei understood what Situ Ran meant. Zhen Yongyi does not have a mother's family, and the main forces of the feudal family of half of the mother's family are concentrated in the military attachΓ©s, and the civil power is weak, and it is not easy for relatives to interfere in politics. And Yu Yongyi himself also has certain abilities, and it is not easy to become a puppet emperor. Then there is the relationship between the Feng family and the Ning family, even if the Ning family wants to suppress Yu Yongyi, they must first ask the attitude of the Feng family.
The fly in the ointment is that Yu Yongqing is the older sister, while the younger brother is the younger brother.
If the two are reversed, the form on the field will be very different.
Whether or not she will become the enemy of Zhen Yongqing is not up to him, but by the emperor.
Li Jiangwei's brows furrowed slightly, and the worry and distress in her eyes. Let Situ Ran understand that his words were finally conveyed to Li Jiangwei.
"Are you afraid that King Qin's excellent performance will make the imperial concubine suppressed? Or are you afraid that the status of the imperial concubine will be embarrassed because of the king of Qin? β
Li Jiangwei's two questions seem to be similar, but there is a great mystery behind them.
Situ Ran didn't dare to answer directly, but replied with a question: "What about you?" Are you afraid? β
Li Jiangwei chuckled lightly and said, "I'm not afraid." β
This answer made Situ Ran stunned.
"After this tea room was built, you were its first guest. As a result, we talked for a long time, but we didn't drink a sip of tea, which is a pity. β
Li Jiangwei suddenly got up and took out a brocade tea box from a drawer.
"Do you still have the heart to drink tea? Don't think I can't see that you're changing the subject? β
"These things can only be used as talking points, and they are just talking. What if you talk about it? I am just a county lord with no power, and although you have a rank, you are a member of the Taibu Administration, and you are far from the affairs of the government. Knowing too much is just a futile trouble. β
Li Jiangwei didn't seem to hear Situ Ran's words, and said to her with a smile: "Recently, I plan to continue writing "Overseas Traces"......"
Listening to this irrelevant reply, Situ Ran asked helplessly, "What do you think......
The promise of the Lu family is there, and Lu Jiangfeng will inevitably stand beside the emperor. Situ Ran is Lu Jiangxio's subordinate again, and he is naturally in the camp of the imperial concubine.
If the two sisters and brothers are forced to go against each other, Li Jiangwei will not be able to make a choice.
She doesn't want Yu Yongyi to become the emperor, and she doesn't want Zhen Yongyi to become a victim of the throne. As long as they go to opposition, Yu Yongyi will become a thorn in the hearts of the sister and brother, and they will not be able to return to the beginning. Once the princess becomes emperor, the thorn becomes a bomb.
If Yu Yongyi becomes the emperor, he really doesn't belong to himself.
Situ Ran frowned, and said unhappily: "After following the prince for so many years, do you think that I still don't know anything like before?" The Taibu Department has long been united with the Tianji Battalion, and I have heard of your name in the Tianji Battalion. β
Seeing that Li Jiangwei was unmoved, Situ Ran continued: "You are a general under the imperial concubine, and you are the sweetheart of King Qin. There are some things that only you can do! β
"You're thinking too highly of me."
"The person who can make King Qin and Huang Ji cooperate without any gaps is not blood......" Situ Ran smiled bitterly: "It's you." β
In royalty, bloodlines are the least trustworthy thing.
"Me? What can be done? β
"Destroy the good deeds of the princess and the king of Qin."
Situ Ran's words are also what Situ Ji wants his sister to tell Li Jiangwei the most.
Until Situ Ran left, the brocade tea box that Li Jiangwei took out still hadn't opened, and the two talked for a long time, but they didn't drink a sip of tea. Li Jiangwei sat in the tea room in a daze, looking at the tea box on the table in a daze.
"Girl." Li Xin interrupted Li Jiangwei's fugue, "King Qin sent a letter over there. β
"King Qin?" Li Jiangwei was puzzled: "Sent a letter? β
Li Xin, who had been warned by Li Yue, didn't say anything, quietly put the letter on the table, and silently retreated.
Li Jiangwei's expression was complicated, and she stared at the envelope for a long time before deciding to pick it up and open it and take out the letter.
The letter with a faint fragrance and ink fragrance unfolded in front of Li Jiangwei, revealing familiar handwriting. The letter mentioned that the accident that occurred when she greeted the princess early yesterday morning had already made Yongyi worried about this matter. At the end of the letter, Yu Yongyi kept emphasizing his intentions.
After reading the full text, Li Jiangwei closed her eyes.
"Report?"
Li Jiangwei's heart didn't feel the slightest comfort, and even burst out of sourness. Even in his mind, he couldn't stop imagining the scene of Queen Tutoya pestering Yu Yongyi.
The more I thought about it, the more irritable I became, and even in the middle of the night, I couldn't sleep.
Li Jiangwei stood outside the door in a coat, looking lonely at the moonlit masonry floor.
The moonlight suddenly darkened and was obscured by the shadows.
