Chapter 113: Step by step
Hearing this, Liu Yueji was stunned and frightened.
Suddenly, the reason why Fang Cai said that, she knew that in Liu Qi's mind, there must have been a way to do it a long time ago.
I came to myself today, and I brought such a heavy gift, I must have asked for something.
It's just that how to help him, this kind of thing is not easy to say by himself, step by step, Liu Qi will naturally tell his true thoughts.
And what was shocking was that she didn't expect that the way Liu Qi thought of was actually to find Liu Yu, the prince of Nasu!
"Yuan'er, you go down first, I have something to say to your brother Qi."
Chen Yuan was unwilling.
"Mother, what is the matter with you, do you have to..."
"Go down!"
Seriously, this is the first time Chen Yuan has seen her mother so serious.
Although he was a little displeased in his heart, he still nodded.
"Qi'er, you're done, you're going to come to Yuan'er."
After speaking, he reluctantly left.
It's not over yet, and after the subordinates have all been arranged to retreat, Liu Yueji continued to speak.
"Qi'er, do you know who Prince Su is?"
Liu Qi's answer was very casual.
"Isn't it my imperial uncle, and he is also the oldest elder in the clan, I seem to have seen him twice since I was a child."
"Once at the funeral of my mother, and once when I was crowned prince."
Liu Yueji nodded.
"That's right, but that's not what I'm trying to say."
"I think you should have known a little about what happened during the lifetime of the emperor. At that time, several princes rebelled, and many members of the royal family were killed overnight. ”
"And this imperial uncle of yours is the only one among the seven princes who survived."
"Since that incident, your imperial uncle has never set foot in the court again."
"Although he has been responsible for many things in the clan since your father ascended the throne, they are just some inconsequential."
"As the patriarch of the clan, I have known him for many years, and this old man has never asked about political affairs, and even, if anyone takes the initiative to tell him, he will immediately lose his temper."
"It's not that my aunt doesn't want to help you, although he has a noble status, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the capital of the clan. But if you want him to come forward and help you vortex in the court, I'm afraid this matter is a hundred times more difficult than your battle against the Huns! ”
Liu Qi smiled indifferently.
"Auntie, my nephew knows what you said."
"However, with the current situation, in the court, there is still something that the courtiers are afraid of, that is, only my imperial uncle Liu Yu, as long as he is willing to come forward, he will not be able to do anything to his nephew easily behind his back."
Liu Yueji sighed lightly when she heard this.
"Your idea is right, whether it is qualifications or status, I am afraid that except for your father, that is, your imperial uncle, but this matter is difficult."
After speaking, I suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, I heard that your subordinate Bai Qi, isn't his master the old general Leji? Why don't you let him out of the mountains? ”
"If you can pull General Le, with his prestige, you can also help you talk to you in the court, and with his help, your position as the crown prince can definitely be secured."
Liu Qi smiled and shook his head helplessly.
"Auntie doesn't know."
"If General Le wanted to return to the imperial court, he would have come by himself a long time ago. This time, Bai Qi was sent to my Daqing, just to solve the scourge of the Huns. ”
"Besides, even Bai Qi may not stay in Qingguo afterwards, how can General Le return to this whirlpool. Don't say it's me, I'm afraid even my father may not be able to invite him out of the mountain. ”
Liu Yueji nodded and exhaled a long breath.
"I see."
"Qi'er, my aunt told you clearly. If you want your aunt to ask Prince Su to help you vortex in the court, this thing will definitely not work. ”
"At that time, I'm afraid that as soon as my aunt finishes talking to him, she will be scolded by him, and I don't want to suffer from his stinky temper. The point is, he will definitely not say yes. ”
Liu Qi waved his hand.
"Auntie, I don't want you to help me, I don't want to explain it directly to Prince Su, I also know that he will definitely not be willing."
"As the patriarch of the clan, if you arrange for me to meet with him, you can still do this, right?"
Speaking of this, Liu Yueji's eyes were a little puzzled.
"It's as simple as that?"
"It's that simple!"
"Then why don't you go to him directly in person, and let me do it in the middle?"
Liu Qi responded immediately.
"Auntie, although I am in the same vein as Uncle Huang, you also know that he is not something that anyone can see when they meet."
"If I go directly and visit rashly, with my current situation, he will definitely refuse to see him directly."
"But it's different with you, you are the patriarch of the clan, and in the name of me joining the clan, you can let me meet the imperial uncle face to face, and he will not be suspicious. All you need to do is give me a chance to spend time with him alone. ”
Although Liu Qi was a member of the royal family, he had never been involved in anything in the clan.
The reason is not complicated, in Liu Yueji's heart before, he never thought that Liu Qi would participate in the affairs of the clan.
Therefore, it is not very necessary for him to know these clan members on formal occasions.
Anyway, if he becomes an emperor one day, he will still have to deal with these members of the clan after all.
Liu Yueji didn't speak, and suddenly, she looked at Liu Qi with a solemn brow.
"Qi'er, does your father know about this?"
Liu Qi replied very simply.
It was also this answer that made Liu Yueji's heart tremble.
"I don't know!"
"Liu Qi, do you have to know that Prince Su, although he was not involved in that incident when he was the first emperor, but in terms of his identity, even if he is now over the age of old, he is still a very sensitive person, if you want your father to know, you can know that the consequences are very serious."
Liu Qi nodded.
Now that the words have been spoken, there is no need to hide anything.
"So, auntie, will you still help your nephew?"
Liu Yueji hesitated, not only hesitating but also a little scared.
This matter is too big, if his father knows that he took him privately and did not talk about meeting with his uncle, it is still because of the affairs of the government, which will inevitably cause his father's dissatisfaction.
Even because of this matter, it is very likely that he will cancel his position as the patriarch of the clan.
Despite this position, there is not much power.
But at least it can be guaranteed that after the emperor's funeral, she can still be respected by others.
Of course, if Chen Yuan can become the imperial concubine smoothly, it doesn't matter.
At this moment, Liu Yueji figured it out.
It turned out that Liu Qi was waiting for this moment step by step.
Now she can either take a gamble, help Liu Qi, help him, and when he ascends the throne one day, she will naturally be able to get the status she deserves.
But if the bet is wrong, then she Liu Yueji is likely to be no different from ordinary concubines.
There is no problem with living a life safely. But if you want to continue to be respected by others, as you are now, it is not known.
A child who is only a crown is only a year old has such a mind.
Although Liu Qi's change has always been in Liu Yueji's eyes, she felt that she still underestimated him at this time.
Since Liu Qi began to contact himself, he may have been playing this move.
Even the things that happened later may be for today's talk.
agrees, which means that from now on, you will be tied to Liu Qi on the same line, and you will inevitably participate in more things.
But if he doesn't agree, then he will really become an emperor one day, how will he forget today?
So what, even if Liu Qi becomes the emperor, he won't do anything to her.....
At this time, Liu Qi stood there quietly watching, quietly waiting.
For him, at this point, isn't it a gamble?
