Chapter 524: Do You Want to Be Emperor?
It's already early afternoon.
The birds in the yard were also tired of chirping, and were resting on the branches in a daze, combing their feathers from time to time.
In the main room, Li Bingqian was lying on the couch, staring at the beam of the room with a dull gaze. He had been awake for a long time, but what made him feel indescribable was that his head hurt so much that it seemed to be about to crack. After thinking about it for a long time, he remembered that it seemed that he had drunk a day's stuffy wine yesterday. He has a lot of experience in drinking, and even if he was drunk that time, he was not as fierce as this reaction. This made him wonder if someone had plotted against him.
"Someone!"
The door creaked open, and Fei Tingdoro came in lightly with the water for washing, and said with concern: "Lord Wang, you have slept for a day and a night. β
On this day and night, Fei Tingdoro wanted to fight with Li Kui many times, and finally due to the lack of strength, he was worried that after he died, there would be no one around the prince who could call him.
Only then did he dispel his thoughts, but every time he saw Li Kui, he hated it so much.
"Help me up!"
Li Bingqian finally got up and prepared to get up, but as soon as he sat up, he felt uncomfortable, as if he wanted to vomit, but he couldn't vomit, which made his stomach cramp and his face pale.
Li Bingqian said to himself: "I feel like someone has hit me on the head. β
If he didn't say it, Fei Tingdoro wouldn't dare to say more. After all, it was Li Kui who started it, but it was he who called people! If the prince asks, why don't you stop Li Kui? Let him say what?
Can't stop it?
Still don't want to stop?
According to his identity, he should risk his life to prevent Li Kui from having the opportunity to hurt Li Bingqian. But in the end, it was Li Bingqian who was injured. After a long pause, Li Bingqian sat under the cloister again. He wasn't going out lately, and his body was a little overwhelmed. Once busy people are idle, they will think crankily, and Li Bingqian wondered, is he getting old? But something is wrong when I think about it! He was only thirty years old, and it was a good time for him to be in the prime of life, so how could his body collapse?
Just in time, Li Kui came back.
Venerable Zhiguang selected monks in the monastery to gild the Buddha statues, and finally selected a dozen or so, and everyone's face was filled with pious solemnity. Li Kui didn't care whether the monk was fat or thin, white or fat, anyway, they were just coolies. When the gold can be pasted, everyone in the monks is angry, especially at the moment when the gold leaf is uncovered, they are even more breathless.
With such a mentality, the workmanship is naturally smooth.
Li Kui stared at it for a long time, and then simply wandered around the city.
Although Youzhou did not suffer from military disasters, there were still signs of a large army movement in the city. The soldiers rode their horses on a rampage through the city, at least telling Li Kui that the situation in Longzhou was not good.
Of course, what is not good for Western Xia is a great good thing for Li Kui.
Li Kui first went to Li Bingqian's courtyard to take a look, this collaborator is still more important to Li Kui, since Ren Duoyan was secretly picked up by Ren Duoyan's subordinates sent by Ren Duo Baozhong, Li Kui needs to rely on this one for all his actions in Western Xia. Judging from the situation the day before yesterday, Li Bingqian's mood was very bad and he seemed to have suffered a big blow.
As a collaborator, I have to go over and encourage two sentences.
"Seventh Prince, you can be considered awake." Li Kui raised his legs and entered the courtyard, and saw Li Bingqian sitting under the cloister with a wooden expression, staring at the pear trees in the courtyard in a daze. The pear blossoms are as white as snow and hang on the branches, giving people a sense of peace and tranquility at first glance.
Li Bingqian slowly looked up at Li Kui, the corners of his mouth pulled helplessly, and he was probably still uncomfortable: "Li Kui, let you see the joke." β
It doesn't matter if you look at the joke or not, as long as Li Kui sees Li Bingqian looking for revenge on him, he will be satisfied. Without a trace, he glanced at Fei Tingdoro, who was vigilant on the side, after all, he was the steward of the prince's family, and his mouth was strict enough.
Li Kui sat down and opened his mouth to ask, "What happened to make your mood change greatly?" β
Li Bingqian didn't want to say, but just looked at Pear Blossom in a daze. Li Kui is not a funny little person, he likes to talk about it or not, he also looks at the pear tree. After watching it for a while, he was hungry, and said to Fei Tingdoro: "Arrange a few people to pick some pear blossoms, get some mutton to accompany the filling, and make dumplings to eat." β
Something that spoils the scenery!
Pear blossom is so holy, but you want to eat it?
Li Bingqian was very puzzled why Li Kui always thought of eating inadvertently. Besides, is pear blossom delicious?
Li Bingqian couldn't shut up anymore, and said with a wry smile: "Why do you always want to eat?" β
"You don't want to talk about your difficulties, which means that you want to face them on your own. As a collaborator, I will support you silently. At this time, there is nothing more enjoyable than a bowl of steaming dumplings, you say? Li Kui smiled maliciously, wriggled and rubbed his back under the pillars, and did not take a bath for half a month, and his whole body was a little itchy. Thinking that if Nie Cuicui was around, she should tickle herself, right?
But he felt that something was wrong, it seemed that the concubine was not used to tickle him, right?
Li Bingqian let out a long sigh, his gaze became a little more condensed, and then he began to speak: "Li Kui, do you still remember that I prepared silk for Huguo Temple?" β
"That's right, what's wrong, didn't you give it to the monks in the temple?"
"It's been ten years, and every year I've prepared enough belongings to give to Huguoji, and during this time, my uncle seems to be very happy, and I thought that his appreciation for me was one of an elder's appreciation for a junior, not like it is now." After Li Bingqian finished speaking, he drooped his head and muttered: "Just like you Song people said, Shengmi En's fight against Mi Qiu, my respect for the great master is in exchange for an empty battle, how do you think I should deal with myself now?" β
"He wants you for money?"
Other people's housework, Li Kui is not easy to talk about. But the great power teacher Wei Mingde Yuan is related to his plan, and there is no room for failure.
Li Bingqian sighed and said, "Just ask for money to him, but he seems to have seen my plan and asked his disciple to bring me a letter." You see, right? β
Li Bingqian's eyes were complicated when he looked at Li Kui, Li Kui was his enemy, at least the identities of the two could not be friends. The reason why we are cooperating now is also because Li Kui deliberately did it. And Li Kui is small-hearted and doesn't listen to what he says, anyway, in many cases, Li Bingqian hates Li Kui so much.
But when he encountered a setback, the only person around him who could negotiate was Li Kui, which had to be said to be Li Bingqian's sorrow, and there were no two people around him who could discuss.
Unfolding the letter, Li Kui looked at it carefully, the letter was very short, but it only explained a meaning, Wei Ming Deyuan did not oppose the cutting off of the Liang family, but he did not support it. But it is not allowed to change the emperor. Moreover, the letter ended by saying that he did not want Li Bingqian to launch a counterattack against Liang in the short term. Let him wait until the emperor is in power, and wait for the emperor to make plans.
Let his own son imprison his mother and kill all the uncles. This is a fool's idea, right?
Li Kui was very disdainful of this, and of course more angry at the old monk's inaction. Isn't that a good thing for bad guys?
In other words, the current emperor of Western Xia, the son of Empress Dowager Liang, must guarantee his throne.
This matter will be difficult to do, even if Li Bingqian does it as soon as possible, kills the little emperor's mother, and the emperor's uncles, and then supports the emperor. When the little emperor grows up, he will become an evil rebel and thief, and become the first traitor after the emperor takes power.
Of course, the suggestion of Wei Ming Deyuan is not unreasonable. The infighting of the Western Xia royal family can be called an absurd prank. The founding emperor Li Yuanhao robbed his son's daughter-in-law, and then his son cut off his nose and died in the palace that day. This kind of thing is all in the Xixia harem, and it seems that the son imprisons the biological mother, which is not a big deal.
Li Kui pouted and smiled: "According to your imperial uncle's thoughts, you will die, and you will die ugly." You will be the knife in the hands of the emperor, and when it comes to killing, the knife is useful, but once the enemy is dead, it is time for you to liquidate you. I wondered, you have been jumping up and down for so many years, is it possible that you don't want to be the emperor yourself? β
"How is it possible, I am here to cut off the Liang family, and after the Liang family is cut off, I will abolish the current lord and support the new monarch. This is the end of the matter. But Uncle Huang's letter made me have to worry that if I really did what he did, I would die without a place to bury. "This is the case with the coup, Li Bingqian was born in the royal family, so naturally he will not be unaware of the consequences after the failure of the coup.
Even if the coup is successful, it will not be a good death. If you don't cut the grass and don't get rid of the roots, the legacy will be endless.
So what exactly is he for?
If the Empress Dowager Liang died when Li Bingqian attacked the Liang family, naturally there would be no problem at all. He will even become the number one hero and be trusted by the emperor. But if the Empress Dowager Liang lives, the following criminals can only fall on Li Bingqian's head. After all, the emperor is a person who can't be wrong, let alone let the world know that he can even do it to his biological mother.
"You never thought about being emperor?"
Li Kui's words made Li Bingqian's heart beat suddenly. This idea has been, not nothing. But Li Bingqian felt that his influence in Western Xia, especially in the imperial family and court, was simply not enough to allow him to ascend to the throne. Rather than not getting it, it is better to get a job of supporting it.
Besides, against the Liang family.
It was because the royal family was becoming more and more dissatisfied with the Liang family. He raised his arms and shouted, there are really many royals who will follow. But if you want to usurp the throne, it's hard to say. If he can ascend the throne and become king, what about others? He is not the only prince of Western Xia, there are many people who are stronger than him, I am afraid that he will not accept him as the monarch of Western Xia in the end, right?
Li Bingqian hesitated: "I originally cut off my relatives at home and abroad, but according to what you said, wouldn't it become a usurper?" β
"What's your wife's last name?"
"Mi Bao, no, what does this have to do with my wife?" Li Bingqian panicked, the Mi Bao clan was one of the most powerful tribes in the early days of the founding of the Western Xia, the head of the eight tribes. If it weren't for the old patriarch of the Yeli tribe marrying his daughter to Li Yuanhao, the glory of the Mi Bao clan should have lasted for many years.
Now the Mi tribe has declined.
Although it is not as weak as the Fangdang tribe, it no longer has much say in the court. It seems to be useful to pull the Mi Bao tribe in. But the effect is mediocre.
Li Kui sneered: "I know that I am going to die, I am definitely not happy to let you go." Now the best way is naturally to be the emperor yourself, regardless of whether he is a coup d'Γ©tat or a rebellion, what is the influence of your imperial uncle in the imperial family? β
"The party believes in the Buddha, and he is the first prince to become a monk after the establishment of the Li family, and his status is transcendent. His influence among the Li clan is naturally a prestige that no one can match. This is also the reason why I have maintained my relationship with Huguoji Temple over the years. With him to speak, and without him, it will be completely different for the destruction of the Liang family. β
Li Bingqian told the truth, he knew that Wei Ming Deyuan could not get around, so he could only persuade.
And Li Kui's eyes rolled for a while, and he sneered: "Are you sure he won't help you speak?" β
"He's a man of his word, and he never backs up when he says it." Li Bingqian said truthfully.
"This is easy to do, forcing him to oppose the Liang family, and at the same time, you also make plans to stay away from the other party." Li Kui felt that many methods could not be used to deal with the woman Empress Dowager Liang, but he had a way to deal with a sanctimonious god. Besides, how can a coup d'Γ©tat be interesting to rebel, he hurriedly patted Li Bingqian's shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I can't help you with anything else, we are very good at rebellion." β
"What do you want to do?" Seeing Li Kui's cruel smile, Li Bingqian couldn't help but shrink his head and shuddered.
Li Kui smiled: "It's easy to do, spread rumors!" Now the Western Xia who is fighting in Longzhou is the leader of that tribe, and it is estimated that he is very close to the Liang family, first spread the dissatisfaction of Wei Ming Deyuan with the Liang family, and then we will send the news of the Jianing Military Division to the Song State. Let the army at the front be thwarted several times. If nothing else, it is to make them suspicious first. β
"Isn't this a traitor?" Li Bingqian still retained some reason, and felt that Li Kui was harming him.
But Li Kui didn't care at all, and said arrogantly: "Do you want to be the emperor?" β
Think!
What prince didn't dream of being an emperor in his childhood?
Is it possible?
Li Bingqian was silent, Li Kui's suggestion had deviated from his original intention. But once the wild grass of ambition takes root in the heart, it will grow wildly. He was silent for a long time before he whispered, "Let me think about it." β
