Chapter 615: Face
The Queen Mother's face was extremely ugly. King Lijun is Li Qitian's cousin, and Qingyang Hou is her younger brother, and her mother's family behaved so poorly in front of her mother-in-law's family, the queen mother felt shameless.
King Lijun still had that gentle and cowardly appearance, half-lowered his eyes, and explained softly: "The Queen Mother doesn't have to worry, Qingyang Hou is a hero on the battlefield, and he has always been like a fire. For a while, there are people who are angry and angry, and they are sick. ”
Although the Queen Mother felt that Marquis Qingyang was suspected of shirking responsibility by doing this now. But in front of King Lijun, she still has to take care of her face. King Lijun is so knowledgeable, the queen mother's heart is very satisfied. I feel that it is a very wise choice to choose the king of Lijun to act as the government of the government.
King Lijun has a cowardly temperament and is a puppet that is easy to control. And the Tiger Benjun was handed over to her family. In this way, the government and military power are firmly in their own hands. If the emperor is safe, then of course it is good, and when he comes back, she will naturally hand over power.
But if something happens to the emperor, she will not be too passive, all the power is in her own hands, at least she will not be controlled by the ministers in the court.
The Queen Mother thought about her decision-making in recent days, and she couldn't help but be complacent, and it was more pleasing to the eye when she saw King Lijun.
"The mourning family didn't misunderstand you. You are really a wise man who knows how to advance and retreat. ”
King Lijun was flattered by the praise, and hurriedly stood up and returned the salute, "The Queen Mother is too famous." I don't have the same talent as the saint, and now I just follow the instructions of the Queen Mother to do what I can. I have no other talents, the only thing is to be obedient. ”
The Queen Mother secretly thought "just be obedient", but she praised King Lijun with a smile on her face, and kept King Lijun for lunch, and rewarded him with snacks and fruits before letting him leave.
King Lijun left Ci'an Palace and took a small sedan chair all the way out of the palace unimpeded.
Outside the palace gate, he got into his own carriage and went all the way back to his mansion in the capital.
As soon as he entered the main entrance, he saw a middle-aged scribe in a blue shirt and a scarf on his head greeted him with a smile.
He is a strategist next to King Lijun, named Dai Chun, and his name is Zhinan.
"Lord Wang." Dai Chun came to the front and saluted.
"Mr. Dai." King Lijun smiled gently, "Why is Mr. Dai standing here?" ”
"I'm waiting for the return of the king."
"Oh? Is there anything important to sir? ”
"Exactly."
King Li Jun smiled and said, "Why don't you go to the study and talk about it in detail?" ”
Dai Chun smiled and bowed his head, "The student also has this intention." ”
When the two arrived at the study, King Lijun retreated, then took off his robe and sat on the circle chair, with a natural look of arrogance, and when he was in front of the Queen Mother, he was like two people.
Dai Chun stood at the bottom and arched his hand: "Will the county king gain anything from entering the palace today?" ”
King Lijun actually laughed out loud when he heard this.
Thinking that the Queen Mother was about to be angry with the Marquis of Qingyang, and she had to pretend to be calm and find herself an embarrassed appearance under the steps, the more King Lijun laughed, the more he laughed, the louder he laughed.
Seeing this, Dai Chun was already able to guess the situation to a certain extent.
"Student Rong guesses, isn't Qingyang Hou making some fun again?"
"Not really." King Li Jun shook his head with a smile and said approvingly: "Mr. Zheng's plan was really good. Whether it is the Marquis of Qingyang or the old man above who vainly tries to grasp the authority, they are all stupid! A person who is beyond his own strength, and a person who is his mother's family is a treasure. At the beginning, after listening to Mr. 's words, he recommended the Marquis of Qingyang as the commander of the Tiger Ben Army in front of the Queen Mother, which was really a few in one fell swoop. ”
Dai Chun smiled and shook his head, "The county king praised it." The original idea was not made by the students, but by the county king's own foresight. Now Long Xiangjun is eagerly waiting for rescue at Tianmen Pass, but Qingyang Hou is temporarily afraid, and the news spread, not only is he embarrassed, but the Queen Mother is angry when she hears it.
"At that time, you can take over this right in person while everyone is despising the Qingyang Marquis to escape, and then you can take over this right personally."
King Li put away the smile on his face, shook his head, and said, "This idea is very good. I also think it's doable. It's just that I'm afraid that I'll dream a lot, and I'm afraid of change. The old woman of the Queen Mother is greedy in her heart, he doesn't just have a stupid brother, and there are so many children and nephews surnamed Zhou at home. I am afraid that this authority will not belong to me at that time. ”
King Lijun stood up and walked to the window with his hands in his hands, "Now is a great opportunity to gain a foothold. If the Holy One is really recovered, and the power in my hands is not yet secured, I may face the reckoning of the Holy One at that time. I know very well what kind of character the Holy One is."
Dai Chun also said with a straight face: "The king doesn't have to worry. Although the mountain is tightly guarded by Ji Yuma's people, doesn't the tiger also have a nap. Let's just look at where it looks, and if we find that someone who shouldn't be there appears, we can order someone to solve it. Don't let that make your efforts go down the drain. ”
King Lijun nodded and said, "According to me, it is better to burn the mountain with a fire." ”
"King of the county, it's not appropriate to burn the mountain. There are so many people brought by Ji Horse to excavate, if this Hill is served in one pot, people outside will inevitably criticize that someone is arson and murder of the saint. ”
"How can it be considered murder? Who knows if he is alive or not, maybe I am not murdered, but I can help him cremate. ”
Dai Chun smiled: "What the prince said is true. But let's be cautious for now. Now we can't make the Queen Mother suspicious, and when you can stand firm in the position of regent, we can do more."
King Lijun nodded, supported the armrests on both sides of the chair with both hands and let out a sigh, and said happily: "I am the brother of the same sect as Li Qitian, there is no reason for him to be the emperor, I can't do it, how much worse am I than him?" This throne is surnamed Li, but the Queen Mother wants to get it into the hands of someone surnamed Zhou? It's too self-conscious! ”
Dai Chunying nodded kindly.
King Lijun sketched his future in his mind, and his smile became more confident.
If the Queen Mother saw King Lijun like this, I am afraid that she would never rest assured that she would hand over the power of the prison country to him. It's just that King Lijun is hiding too deeply in front of outsiders.
The Marquis of Qingyang said that he was ill, and the Queen Mother was angry, and ordered someone to visit the Hou Mansion for three consecutive days, and the Marquis of Qingyang was still sick in bed.
The Queen Mother was very angry and went out of the palace to see the Marquis of Qingyang in person.
Who knew that the Marquis of Qingyang didn't know what to say to the Queen Mother, and when the Queen Mother came back, she called Wang Zhi, the secretary of the Ministry of War.
"Now Qingyang Hou's body is not good. I'm afraid it's not good to go out to Tianmen Pass. The mourning family looked at it, although Ji Lan's personality was not pleasant, but after all, he had also been the commander of the Tiger Ben Army for a while, he should know everything, and he could rest assured that he would lead the troops to the mourning family. Or, you will go to Zhengshan later and tell Ji Juma that the mourning family will restore him to the position of commander of the Tiger Ben Army? ”
