Li Jianye, the eldest son of King Qi, expressed his sister Li Taiping's request to King Qi. Surprisingly, King Qi Li Xiang did not refuse immediately.
This made Li Jianye puzzled.
You know, King Qi has always been a mature, steady and cautious character.
King Qi would not be the first to take the initiative in any matter, but would wait until others jumped out and observe secretly to confirm that he could get enough benefits before entering the market.
No one knows his father better than his son, and Li Jianye knew this very well.
Suddenly, my father's attitude towards dealing with things changed drastically. There must be something hidden in this.
Li Jianye didn't dare to ask questions, so he stood respectfully aside, waiting for his father to speak.
King Qi Li Xiang walked around the house for a long time with his hands behind his back, then he stopped and said solemnly: "This matter involves a lot. Now His Majesty's attitude towards the kings is very ambiguous. It's okay if we don't argue at all..."
The King of Qi has been coveting the throne for a long time, but he has never shown his ambition.
But according to his recent inquiries, it seems that Emperor Xianlong still hopes that the prince will have some enterprising spirit.
After all, the person who inherits the Li family cannot just be a useless person who just follows everyone else's words.
To a large extent, the king's courage directly determines the destiny of the country.
To say something disrespectful, even if Emperor Xianlong is slandered by others, he is still a master of the emperor's mind.
When he utters a sentence, most people may not be able to catch it.
Of course, King Qi has been thinking about his father's thoughts for some time, and he has a great advantage over ordinary people.
He judged that his father felt that he was getting too old and was officially considering the issue of succession.
Succession to the throne has always been a difficult problem, and the Zhou Dynasty was no exception.
Of those princes who were initially established as princes, only half sat on the throne in the end. The rest were divided among the princes.
The capable ones go up, the mediocre ones go down.
The succession to the throne completely follows the so-called law of the jungle.
Primogeniture is just a fig leaf.
So King Qi must start to exert his strength.
The forbearance of the past few decades was just for the current outbreak.
At this time, he must change his previous attitude of neither fighting nor grabbing.
Only when he showed his ability and sufficient desire to compete in front of his father, could he have a chance to take the initiative in the battle for the throne.
Li Taiping's trip to Ningzhou seems to be a pretty good move.
First of all, although the Zhou Dynasty strictly prohibited the vassal kings from running around, there were no strict rules for clan daughters.
There are many things that Li Taiping can do despite her status as a clan daughter.
Secondly, King Qi wanted to show his father that Li Taiping liked Zhao Xun.
If he could get a marriage from his father, he would be able to tie Zhao Xun to death completely.
Even from the perspective of protecting the royal family's face, King Qi felt that the possibility of his father going along with the situation was extremely high.
Judging from the strength and growth rate that Zhao Xun has shown now, it is almost certain that he will one day become an important minister in the DPRK or even take charge of his own role.
Instead of waiting to win over Zhao Xun after he reaches his peak, it is better to draw him into your camp now and tie him up completely.
It's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's difficult to provide help when it's time.
The King of Qi certainly understood this truth, and the value of the two cannot be generalized at all.
He doesn't need to consider what other people think.
As long as Li Taiping is willing and his father can help, the matter will be done.
As for Zhao Xun himself, didn't he once clearly express his love for Li Taiping?
It is not easy for the royal family and nobles to have a happy relationship.
"Jianye, go and arrange this matter. We must send Taiping safely to Ningzhou."
After weighing for a long time, Qi King Li Xiang finally made his decision.
"Son, I obey."
When Li Jianye heard this, he was sincerely happy for his sister.
"What, my father promised to send me to Ningzhou?"
Li Taiping, the head of Yonghe County, couldn't believe his ears.
"Yes, my father said that he wants to let the world know that you and Zhao Xun are in love. In this way, the possibility of Grandpa Huang going along with the situation and granting a marriage will be very high."
Li Jianye said clearly.
"Sister, you don't have to worry too much. Since this matter has been accomplished, no matter whether Grandpa Huang grants marriage or not, basically nothing will happen. Then Zhao Xun likes you from the bottom of his heart.
Yes, brother can see this."
"elder brother"
Hearing this, Li Taiping's complexion suddenly turned red, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"Don't worry, just do it the way you want to do it. My father and brother will support you unswervingly."
Li Jianye loved this girl the most and wanted to hold her in his hands all day long, for fear that she would be wronged in some way.
"You should also prepare to pack up and set off in a few days. I will arrange some escorts to take you safely to Ningzhou."
Regarding the guard issue, Li Xiang actually still had a bit of a headache.
If it were a peaceful time, there would be nothing to fear.
But there seems to be a lot of commotion in Gangnam Province recently.
The monsters that had been dormant for a long time suddenly broke out and ravaged Ningzhou and other coastal counties.
If Zhao Xun hadn't turned the tide, God knows where things would have gone.
But despite this, Li Jianye still felt a little unsafe.
"Let's do this. I'll send all the fourth-grade masters in my house to protect you."
After thinking about it again and again, Li Jianye said in a deep voice.
"How can this be done!"
Li Taiping quit after hearing this.
"If that's the case, what's the safety of my father and brother? What should you do if you encounter danger?"
"Silly girl."
Li Jianye laughed loudly and said: "This is different. You are traveling far away, and we are in the city of Chang'an. Chang'an is at the foot of the emperor. Who dares to assassinate the king and kill him without risking his life?"
After a pause, he continued: "Besides, the palace has restrictions, and it is impossible for ordinary people to sneak into the palace. Don't worry, we will be fine. All you have to do is protect yourself,
Go see your Zhao Lang safely."
Li Taiping was so moved when he heard this that his eyes turned red.
She would only miss her after they were separated. Originally, she thought it would not be a big deal to separate from Zhao Xun for a few months.
But after the two really separated, she realized that Zhao Xun had become a part of her life from unknown time.
The two are now completely integrated. Without Zhao Xun and Li Taiping, they don't know how to live.
She can't live without Zhao Xun, and Zhao Xun must be the same.
"Thank you very much, Brother Wang. My father will take care of Brother Wang here. I will arrive in Ningzhou as soon as possible. When I arrive in Ningzhou, I will write to my father and Brother Wang."
"Yeah, but it's too slow to write a letter. There should be many second-level experts in Ningzhou. If you can use the teleportation technique, don't be stingy."
