Chapter Twenty-Four: The Imperial Capital Rises
Harem battles have existed since ancient times, and no dynasty or emperor can avoid them.
Didn't the first emperor get too caught up in these trivial matters?
So Ying Kongli has never taken a concubine, even when he was the crown prince, he tried his best to avoid the matter of taking a concubine, and his father was considerate of him, and he did not force him to marry a concubine or anything.
However, the only requirement of the first emperor is to have an heir, and he is not worried about this win, he is only twenty-one years old, and he is very young.
Although he had already become a powerhouse in the Xuan Realm with the support of the Great Qin Heavenly Material and Earth Treasure, the higher his cultivation, the weaker his ability to give birth to heirs.
But Ying Kongli doesn't believe it, after he has dealt with the trivial affairs of the empire almost, he sings songs every day and night, no matter how small the chances are, sooner or later there will be heirs, right?
Unexpectedly, his father did not force him, but this group of ministers, but Li Tai, began to force him.
When I think of the harem battle, I have a headache when I win Kongli, I'm afraid that Li Tai, an old boy, just wants to see this result, and wants him to be busy with harem chores all day long, and has no time to manage the court?
Li Tai, this old boy, is really bad!
What's more, he doesn't understand what Li Tai thinks now.
Whether he wants to marry him or has other ideas, Li Tai has a daughter, and he also knows. But he didn't believe that Li Tai would not know, judging from their current relationship, if Li Tai's daughter entered the palace as a concubine, and his relationship with Li Tai was very rigid, wouldn't it be difficult for Li Tai's daughter to be caught in the middle?
What's more, one of him and Li Tai must fall, and at that time, what position will Li Tai put his daughter in!
Could it be that Li Tai wants to give up fighting with him?
Ying Kongli shook his head lightly, this is almost impossible, because at this point, those who follow Li Tai behind Li Tai will not let Li Tai give up, if Li Tai gives up, they will lose their current power, and even their lives!
But what does Li Tai mean by proposing to take a concubine at this time?
Could it really be for the good of Daqin?
Win empty is a little confused.
......
Prime Minister's House.
Li Tai played with the jade wrench in his hand, looked playful, and muttered in his mouth: "Interesting, win Kongchen, the prince of Zhenbei, this character, robbing people on the street."
But do you know that if you rob it like this, your imperial brother will not be happy. ”
Then Li Tai frowned again, win Kongchen, Li Tai is not one of those people who doesn't care about the royal family.
Know that sometimes the people who know you best are your enemies.
Li Tai fought with the emperor, to put it bluntly, he fought with the imperial family.
So he naturally knew more about the people in the royal family, and Ying Kongchen appeared in his mind more than once.
At the beginning, Ying Kongchen broke through the Divine Soul Realm, but it set off a lot of waves in Liaozhou, and at the opening ceremony of the Qingdao Sect a few days ago, the name Win Kongchen also appeared in front of him.
Therefore, he still attaches great importance to Ying Kongchen, and he has sent Li's intelligence department to Liaozhou more than once to investigate Ying Kongchen.
The result seems to be expected, but it is somewhat unexpected, and all kinds of signs indicate that Ying Kongchen is just a kid who is greedy for fun, and he is not enough to worry about.
But Li Tai didn't dare to take it lightly.
Sometimes the more ordinary people seem to be, the more normal things are, and there is often something wrong.
Otherwise, why did the young emperor attach so much importance to his cousin, just because he had a good friend when he was young?
Just kidding, Li Tai didn't think that this kind of emotion would affect the deep-thinking emperor.
It can be seen from Win Kongchen's impulsive actions today that Win Kongchen is probably going to marry Gongsun Tinglei's daughter, to be precise, the emperor wants to marry Gongsun's family.
It's not hard to guess.
If he didn't know anything in advance, he dared to rob people in public on the street? And why didn't the protector of the Gongsun family stop it?
Just because he's a member of the royal family?
Just because he is the only hereditary son of Great Qin?
Don't be kidding, he is also a member of the big family, he knows too well the people in the big family, and the reputation of the unmarried woman is more important than anything else.
If the reputation of the woman who has not been out of the cabinet is damaged, then it can be said that the woman has no use value for marriage, and no man is willing to marry a woman with a damaged reputation.
This is intolerable for a family, unless there is a marriage contract in advance, otherwise, except for the emperor, no one can be too close to the unmarried woman in the family.
What's more, even if you take a step back, if there is no marriage contract before, but Ying Kongchen holds Sun Zhilan's hand in public on the street, this is already a thin woman who has not come out of the cabinet.
At that time, whether it is for the honor of the royal family and the Gongsun family, or to appease the Gongsun family, there will be a marriage.
Moreover, the benefits of doing so are also very great for the royal family, so why not do it?
Li Tai touched his chin, but Win Kongchen made such a fuss, and the relationship between the Gongsun clan and the royal family was also put on the surface, although he was a little disappointed, a lieutenant still put a lot of pressure on him.
But this open thing is much better than the secret thing, otherwise I sometimes have to think about it, if Gongsun Tinglei does not throw himself to the emperor, will he make Gongsun Tinglei unhappy if he does this.
Now there is no need to think about it like this, since Gongsun Tinglei is already on the emperor's side, then Gongsun Tinglei is his enemy, there is no need to think about it, it can make him more free to do things.
However, the matter of Gongsun Tinglei's surrender to the emperor has been confirmed, which is not good news for himself.
This will inevitably shake the hearts of people in their own lineage, and there will definitely be some people who are uncertain and will be frightened.
However, can you win over Wu Li?
Wu Li, as one of the three dukes, controls the public opinion of the world, if even he throws himself to the emperor, then he is really not good at opposing the emperor.
Public opinion is too strong, and Li Tai doesn't want to be written in later generations: When the fourth emperor, Prime Minister Li Tai controlled the government and corrupted the dynasty.
That would really ruin all the fame that his Li clan had accumulated for thousands of years.
Wu Li's affairs have to be planned carefully, so that he can give it a go. If Wu Li can be won over, then the emperor will inevitably be tied up, and the strength of public opinion is unimaginable.
At that time, there will only be one sentence: The emperor is young and does not understand political affairs, and Prime Minister Li Tai is worried about the country and works hard to manage the government.
Then he changed from a powerful minister who corrupted the dynasty to a good prime minister who was loyal to the monarch and patriotic.
This is the power of public opinion!
Even the emperor and Li Tai had to think carefully about this matter.
Li Tai picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and remembered the emperor, he was a little complicated.
I remember that when the first emperor was in power, he also personally hugged the current emperor to win Kongli, and when Yingkongli was still the prince, he also had a lot of teachings on Yingkongli.
Even when he won the sky and left the throne of God, he also played a lot of efforts in it.
Although the first emperor won a son, the first emperor had many heirs, and there were many of their descendants.
After the first emperor abolished the separation, he only named his youngest son Yinghai as the king of Zhenbei, and the rest of the heirs were left in this small imperial capital, and then their descendants also stayed in the imperial capital from generation to generation.
It is only one more royal identity than ordinary people, but it is useless, there is no fief, there is no knighthood, and the descendants of any big family live better than them.
Therefore, some people couldn't hold back, and when the second emperor was rejected, their eyes turned to the supreme position in the world - the emperor!
And there are also some ministers who are stupid and these people are stunned by empty promises, and they take risks and unite with these people to usurp the throne.
What are you kidding?
The emperor's vein has been rooted in the imperial capital for so many years, and has it taken root in vain?
Why did Emperor II reorganize the Black Prison?
It wasn't because he had already been aware of this, and even the Black Ice Platform at that time was infiltrated by these people, and the Second Emperor had to reorganize the Black Prison and remove those people from the core position.
So when the first emperor ascended the throne, those who rebelled did not react, and they were all arrested.
I didn't expect that there were still some people who didn't give up, when the emperor ascended the throne, he dared to do it, and Li Tai was also speechless, can't he have a longer memory?
But when did his relationship with the emperor deteriorate?
Li Tai couldn't help but think about it, and it seemed that ...... It seems like from the day the emperor ascended the throne?
It's just that at that time, he didn't seem to notice that he was deceived by the appearance of this emperor's affinity.
And this emperor is also much deeper than he thinks, and when his foundation is unstable, he uses himself to sit firmly in the court.
As soon as his foundation is firmly established, he will immediately attack himself.
Li Tai smiled bitterly and shook his head, isn't this exactly what he expected?
The conflict between himself and the emperor is too great, this is an essential conflict of interests, and it is difficult to avoid.
It's just that he didn't expect it to be so fast, and the emperor's methods are also amazing, and he has secured the throne in just three years and successfully balanced the forces of all parties.
even promoted a large number of people from the imperial family, such as Baili Tenghai, a general in the army, but under a series of means of this emperor, he successfully became a feudal official, entered the court, and participated in court politics.
Baili Tenghai is just one example, this emperor has promoted many civilians with military merits, and even constantly let them enter the court and participate in court politics.
Now the emperor's influence in the court is not small, although it is still a little worse than him, but with the addition of Gongsun Tinglei, the imperial line has a great right to speak.
And the emperor has an innate advantage, in the case that he Li Tai can't rebel, this advantage is very strong, and if he is not careful, he Li Tai will become a sinner who has ruined the reputation of the Li family for thousands of years!
However, Zhou Li's recital that day reminded him that the current emperor has not yet accepted a concubine, so it is no wonder that he is so energetic and fights with himself in the court all day long.
And the emperor has indeed reached the age of marrying a wife and concubine, and if his daughter is unwilling, he will not be reluctant, and in the current situation, it seems that it is not a good thing for his daughter to enter the palace.
It's better to stuff a few daughters of the ministers of your own side, I believe they are very willing, and the temptation of the identity of the uncle is still very great.
When the time comes, let these women toss and toss in the harem, even if they can't contain the emperor, they can disgust the emperor.
After all, the emperor can't just abolish the concubine, right?
That's really a joke in the world!
The concubine will be abolished in just a few days, what will the people of the world think of the emperor?
Li Tai believes that the emperor will not be so impulsive!
I can only pinch my nose and suffer from nausea!
Thinking like this, Li Tai felt as if he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, comfortable!
And if you give advice yourself, the people of the world will also look to you, after all, the impact of the emperor without a queen on the empire is too great!
This is also the reason why all the ministers in the court today, even Gongsun Tinglei and Wu Li are on their side.
This is the general trend, and the emperor cannot stop it.
Li Tai quietly looked at the east, the direction where the palace was located, a complication flashed in his eyes, he thought about the demon strategy in his secret grid, and muttered to himself in a voice that no one could hear: "Give the minister a little more time, just a little ......"
It's not that he doesn't want to return power, it's just that the temptation of eternal merit is too great.
Wait, wait, and return the rights......
......
Imperial Historian's House.
Wu Li sat on top of the high hall, looking at the information sent by his hand, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he muttered in his mouth: "Marriage? No wonder the old ghost of Gongsun leans towards the emperor, but it is exposed in this way, tsk, young man, it is the blood and qi Fang Gang......"
Wu Li thought about this information, with a strange face, this time the matter will definitely not be the emperor's means, because the emperor can't be so impulsive, to announce, with this means, it will ruin the royal reputation.
In fact, when the early dynasty saw that Gongsun Tinglei had thrown himself into the emperor, he guessed that it might be a marriage, but he didn't expect that the protagonist of the marriage was to win Kongchen instead of winning Kongli.
However, after being won and left such a trouble, the matter of Gongsun Tinglei's investment in the imperial system was put on the table, which was good and bad for the emperor.
The good thing is that Taiwei threw himself into the imperial system, which is a huge blow to Li Tai's family, after all, Taiwei is also one of the three dukes!
The disadvantage is that such an impulsive exposure must have had an impact on some of the emperor's arrangements. Moreover, this matter is not very good for the royal reputation.
If the marriage contract is not issued, people in your royal family will rob people in public, which is disrespectful to other women's women, and even an insult to women.
Who will dare to marry the royal family in the future?
are all in the imperial capital, although your royal family is powerful, we are not shameless!
Although everyone knows that this must have been secretly said by the emperor and Gongsun Tinglei, but you didn't announce it, who would say that you knew?
I believe that Li Tai will not let go of such an opportunity to discredit the imperial family, and when the time comes, rumors will spread in the imperial capital, and maybe the emperor himself will be implicated!
However, Wu Li was not very impressed by this Win Kongchen, but he had also heard of it, after all, there were very few people who reached the Divine Soul Realm at the age of Win Kongchen.
And Ying Kongchen's father Ying Yuanming is extremely strong, if you really talk about it, they, the people of the imperial capital, would rather offend Li Tai, would rather offend the emperor, than offend Ying Yuanming.
Thinking about Ying Yuanming, when he ran to the court and glared at the first emperor, he shuddered, that was really cruel, how like a great Qin prince, he was simply a bandit.
Even Li Tai doesn't want to offend Ying Yuanming, because Ying Yuanming won't reason with you, and people will talk to you about your identity!
He is the prince of Daqin, and his title is one level higher than yours, what qualifications do you have to talk about others.
For a while, Wu Li's face had a strange expression, this Ying Kongchen will not inherit his father's will, and he is the same as Ying Yuanming, he is a hob meat, right?
If so, this imperial capital will be wonderful......
However, I still have to think about how to give advice tomorrow, after all, a person from the Great Qin Imperial Family robbed people on the street, and the impact of this matter is not small.
As a counselor, he is to advise all the things that are unfavorable to the empire in the Great Qin Empire, and anyone can become a name on their advisory documents.
The emperor is no exception, not to mention a prince's son, but if this win Kongchen is also a hob meat, he has to think carefully about how to deal with it.
Wu Li actually had a headache for a while, Ying Yuanming back then impressed him too deeply, too hob, the key is still a thief.
This matter must not be admonished, otherwise there will be a large number of people who will send a fold, and they will be irresponsible and ashamed of this position.
Especially since he has not made a choice now, the emperor and Li Tai may take advantage of this to bring themselves down, and then the two sides will fight again.
Otherwise, one of them who is not in their plan will have too much influence on the situation.
Especially in a public opinion department, no matter who wins on both sides, the guidance of public opinion is indispensable, otherwise, the fall of either side will inevitably cause a major change of blood in the officialdom of Great Qin, from the imperial capital to the locality.
They must have a guide to give an explanation to the people of Great Qin, otherwise, Great Qin may cause turmoil.
Although Wu Li didn't know why Li Tai wanted to control the government, he could feel that Li Tai still had a lot of feelings for the Great Qin Empire, although he couldn't say why, but he could feel it.
When it comes to his status, sometimes it feels very accurate.
He was sometimes shocked by this feeling, after all, not only him, not only the imperial lineage, but even in the eyes of the ministers of the Li family, Li Tai was a powerful minister and a traitor!
Wu Li shook his head slightly, he didn't want to stand too early in terms of standing in line, which was not in his interests.
Moreover, it is really difficult to stand in line now, the situation is not very clear, and he still attaches great importance to his current power.
He didn't want to give up his life's work and his hard-won power because of the problem of standing in line.
Therefore, he would rather put the icing on the cake than give charcoal in the snow!
......
On the other side, Ying Kongchen didn't know that his impulsive move had already caused a huge impact on the major forces in the imperial capital.
It even forced some forces to abandon their original plans and recustomize.
The major forces in the imperial capital were surging again for a while, but as a political idiot, Ying Kongchen obviously didn't know about this form of the imperial capital now.
At this moment, he is still holding the hand of the beautiful woman, on the way to the Taiwei Mansion.
I have to say, Ying Kongchen's flirtatious sister still has a hand, this is holding hands, I don't know if Ying Kongchen knows, will be pleased.
