Zhongshan is surrounded by purple clouds, the Qinhuai River is hazy and rainy, and the city wall is tall and majestic, this is Jianning, the political and military center of the Daning Imperial Court, with obvious characteristics of prosperity and solemnity, but mixed with an indescribable smell of fat powder.

In the Li family's house on the shore of Xuanwu Lake, Li Qinian, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and his two sons, Li Zili and Li Ziyang, sat relatively sullen with a calm expression.

After a long time, Li Ziyang first said: "Dad, the imperial court has passed the control of the Three Towns Jiedu Envoy and the Longjie Army requested by Lin Jianyue in his letter, and the others are just some scattered official names, it doesn't matter if there is one!" ”

Li Qinian smiled bitterly and said: "What you want is the name recognized by the imperial court, and your grandfather requires that you must have the names of the inspector Shaobao, the founding prince of Nanyang County, and the general of Zhenbei." ”

"What did the prince say?"

"Wang Xianggong admired Jianyue's dare to fight, less than 20,000 people dared to attack the Huangdao Town camp garrisoned by elite cavalry in Menghu, and he also won, he thinks that there are too few generals like Daning now, and he should be vigorously supported, he naturally agreed, Jianyue became a family, and Wang Xianggong would also send his son to see how Jianyue was."

"That's Qi Laogou and his party obstructing, what should I do now?"

"The Holy Lord is dispensable, that is, Qi Lao...... They were all led astray by you, and the main Qi Yunji mentioned something that aroused the interest of the saint, saying that it was Lin Jian'an in the Han Mansion and Lin Jianyue in Jingnan Road, and they were two brothers when they heard it. We know what's going on, but the saint doesn't know, he was scared, and the matter was put on hold. ”

When it comes to the saint, the two brothers Li Zili and Li Ziyang have a stupid face, obviously looking down on them, and it's hard to say.

Speaking of saints, it is natural to talk about Li Yunlan.

"Sister Lan is in the palace now, I don't know what's going on, Sister Lan doesn't send a message, we can't help her."

Li Qinian sighed: "I didn't agree with Yun Lan to enter the palace at the beginning, but there was no way, who called the saint to take a fancy to it at that time, it is not ruled out that Qi Lao Dog is troubled!" When I got angry, I scolded him.

"I don't even have children until now, if it weren't for the great power of the Li family, I would have entered the cold palace if I couldn't say it, and I would have been widowed at a young age. It just so happens that Lin Jianyue is up now, it's better to do the opposite, what a fucking grievance! "Li Ziyang is younger and more vigorous.

Li Qinian and Li Zili didn't hear it.

"It's better to do this, let the imperial court send the canonization edict first, if there is no problem with the name, there will be no one for the time being, and it is not a big deal, I guess Lin Jianyue doesn't necessarily care, I'll talk about it from my grandfather." The steady Li Zili finally spoke.

"What you think is beautiful, and you two don't want Lin Jianyue every day Lin Jianyue's call, I didn't agree with it before, but your grandfather insisted, so I had to agree. Since you agreed, it is the genuine son-in-law chosen by our Li family, Yun Xi also likes it, it is your serious brother-in-law, and it is different from Yun Lan. If you want to get married, take your mother back to help with it first. I still have an important thing to do, perhaps under the influence of the Li family, the imperial court insisted that Jianyue come to Jianning to worship and be entitled, and Wang Xianggong actually meant the same thing, saying that it was to see if Jianyue was any different, and whether he dared to come to Jianning, it was really damn good. ”

Li Qinian felt that the authority of the Li family had been besieged and challenged, and he wanted to teach some people a lesson, so as not to think that the Li family was easy to bully.

Li Qinian knew that after receiving Tie Qingfeng's legacy, Lin Jianyue was already a de facto feudal town, and he was not really under the control of the imperial court. Once married to the Li family, there will be many people who are afraid of the Li family, including the saint, including Qi Yunji, and Wang Xianggong.

Lin Jianyue's trip to Jianning is unavoidable, unless he is like Tie Qingfeng, he doesn't directly bird the imperial court, what kind of love he likes, it doesn't matter if he doesn't give an edict, but he will lose a lot of righteousness, and the future trouble is not small, it mainly depends on what Lin Jianyue thinks.

In fact, safety can still be guaranteed, just like Qi Yunji said, there is a more ruthless Lin Jian'an in the west, with hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, and he is about to occupy Qinfeng Road, which has a larger territory, is the imperial court not afraid to force several feudal towns that are used as barriers? Do you still want to live a comfortable life? If you really want to do anything to Lin Jianyue, Lin Jian'an will be opposed, and the Li family will be reversed.

In Jianning City, Zuo Zhongshu is the same as Pingzhangshi Wang Gui's mansion, and Wang Gui's father and son are also discussing.

"Zhe'er, this time you went to Lin Jianyue's wedding banquet, you have to have a good relationship with Lin Jianyue, and it is best to become friends. According to the eyeliner observation report, Lin Jianyue is not very old, but he is quite generous and benevolent, and he has the courage to be strategic, which is different from the unruly and reckless horseman like Tie Qingfeng. In the future, when the imperial court recovers the Central Plains, such a person is very critical and will be of great use. ”

"That being said, it's just that he is the son-in-law of the Li family, no matter how good his personal relationship with him is, no matter how strong his ability is, what's the use? Still useful? Do you want to make a wedding dress for the Li family? ”

"You usually say that you read the book in a roundabout way, but you really read it in a roundabout way? Lin Jianyue is the son-in-law of the Li family, but he is only a son-in-law, not a son. People who can become princes of one side are not ordinary people, what can be done by the relationship between Weng and son-in-law? In the face of greater power, status, territory, and so on, none of this matters. If he can listen to my greetings, sincerely expel the Tartars, and return them to the north, and seal Jingbei Road, Huainan West Road, and even Jinghu Road to him, it is not impossible. Otherwise, what did you ask him to do in the court, would he look good? ”

"Dad, it is not your consistent style to give the resources of the imperial court to each other like this. Also, what does it mean to be greeted by you? You are not his father, even if you are Lord Shoufu, can Lin Jianyue bow down when he sees you? If that's the case, there aren't so many feudal towns, so it's a good idea! ”

Looking at his son's indignant face, Wang Gui smiled bitterly in his heart.

State affairs are difficult, and the saint spends all day drinking and enjoying himself, ignoring state affairs, but also favoring villains like Qi Yunji who are good at sneaking around and slapping horses.

The hearts of the people in the court fluctuate, and there are not a few powerful families like the Li family.

There are feudal towns outside, and they are self-reliant and only want to expand their territory.

The anti-Hu situation is getting worse day by day, and people's livelihood is also withering.

Could it be that Daning, which has been established for more than 200 years, is going to end here?

In the court, Wang Gui could not completely call the shots, and there were too many constraints, and he could not implement his own concept of governing the country at all, so he could only clean it from top to bottom.

However, Daning's political and military system has always been known for its ability to effectively guard against powerful ministers and generals, and even if Wang Gui is the prime minister, there is nothing to think of.

Wang Gui thought that if he wanted to really change the status quo, he could only admonish him.

However, the military admonition requires someone to have a sword, and if there is a figure like Dong Zhuo in the Three Kingdoms, it can only accelerate the early demise of Daning.

Wang Gui has been looking for such a person all these years, and he feels that it is not suitable for him who has come into contact with him.

It wasn't until Lin Jianyue's sudden appearance that Wang Gui felt a glimmer of hope.

Wang Gui spent a lot of energy to investigate in many ways, and found that whether it was Lin Jianyue's temperament, background, and ability, they were all close to Wang Gui's requirements, especially Lin Jianyue had his eldest brother's arm behind him, and he would be even more powerful.

The process of Lin Jianyue's rise Wang Gui has basically understood, Tie Qingfeng, the bandit capital, can be entrusted by his family, and Lin Jianyue must have something extraordinary.

Now Lin Jianyue's strength is not strong, and there is still the possibility of subduing, Wang Gui feels that there is no big problem with his own ability and status, but he still needs close contact, so he also insisted that Lin Jianyue come to the imperial court to canonize him, which is very different from acting in the past.
