Zhou Man turned to face him and said after a long time: "It's not easy, but if she is willing, maybe she can give it a try."
Bai Shandao: "Everyone knows that power is a good thing, especially those who have been unable to protect the people they care about. They can understand this more deeply."
"Li Si may not be capable enough, but she has a big heart and takes the overall situation into consideration. As long as she has ambitions, she can replace Li Yi with a little help." Bai Shan's eyes flashed with a cold light, "Li Yi may have been a person in the early years.
It can be regarded as wisdom, but in the past two years, he has been arrogant and his actions have become more and more reckless. A person like him doesn't even care about the life and death of the people he rules. How can he care about your kindness in the future?"
And if he doesn't care about Jun's kindness, will he rebel every chance he gets?
Do you really think that he cares about the people in southern Xinjiang and doesn't want to cause chaos in the Liaozi tribe, so he can be controlled?
Bai Shan sneered in his heart. He did not want to cause chaos in the Liaozi tribe and would not let it happen, but he did not say that he would not change the chief.
Li Si is the most suitable candidate, even more suitable than Li Yi's only son Li Dan.
According to his investigation during this period, most of the tribes that currently want to push Li Yi away are those who were once close to the Zhang family. Because Li Yi suppressed them after becoming chief, the tributes and taxes allocated to them increased.
Only then did conflicts intensify and conflicts occurred frequently.
Li Yi must not have known that he asked the general manager to be honest with Bai Shan, openly and secretly complaining about the tribes, and wanted the court to help him deal with these tribes, but he did not expect that Bai Shan would find a way to persuade them.
Isn’t it just to get close to the Zhang family?
Then let someone from the Zhang family take over.
At the same time, we must not make the tribes who are now close to the Li family dissatisfied. Is there any better candidate than Li Si?
Bai Shandao: "Li Si is the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, and her daughter is of the blood of the Li and Zhang families. When this matter is settled, we will send her to the capital to study at Mingxue first, and then send her to Mingxue when she grows up."
In the Imperial Academy, after she completes her studies, the imperial court will issue a decree for her to succeed the chief of the Liaozi Department. This is a legitimate and legitimate decision, and the three parties will be happy..."
Zhou Man: "Can the tribe of Liaozi agree?"
Bai Shan smiled slightly, "They will agree."
He held her hand and whispered: "Bring more guards when you go out in the next two days, and don't go to remote places. Calculate the time, the chiefs of each tribe will arrive in the next two days, and then we can
Let’s sit down and discuss it.”
Not only did the chiefs of each tribe arrive, but the garrisons from Liuzhou and Yizhou also slowly approached the Liaozi tribe, stopped at the border, and stationed troops outside the two cities.
The chiefs of various large, medium and small tribes had just arrived in Annan City and heard the urgent border report before they had time to report to the chief's mansion.
Everyone became anxious, and more than a dozen people gathered together and shouted loudly, "What does the imperial court mean by this? Are we going to trap our Liaozi Department here?"
"That's not the case. Didn't they also report that people from the medical offices in Liuzhou and Yizhou have brought medicinal materials and will arrive in Annan City soon?"
"Then what is Chen Bing doing at the border?"
"Not letting our patients out?"
"Is there something wrong with the Chief's Mansion?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and said uneasily: "Isn't it because the imperial court wants to send troops to garrison the Liaozi Department?"
"Doesn't that mean we have to appoint officials to us?"
Jisi Prefecture is different from ordinary state capitals. The state capitals controlled by the Jin Dynasty are controlled by the imperial court, where officials are appointed by the imperial court to pay taxes to the imperial court;
But Jizhou is autonomous.
Although tributes must be paid to the court every year, the Jin court was wealthy and the royal family was relatively tolerant. The annual tribute requirements were not large, and most of the taxes paid by ordinary people were reserved for the tribe's own use.
These tribes usually don't even listen to the words of the big leaders. They live their own lives behind closed doors and rely on the court. They just want to enjoy the shade with their backs against the big trees. They don't ask the Jin Dynasty to attack them, nor do they ask other countries to attack them.
You just dare to beat them. If you are under the control of the imperial court...
It’s scary just thinking about it.
The crowd became agitated, and someone in the crowd secretly encouraged: "Chief Li has also been infected with malaria, and I don't know if he will survive. The current situation is so urgent, and the Liaozi Department cannot be left in dire straits, with nothing to rely on."
"Chief Li is sick, where is the young chief?"
"I heard that he met a bandit and died when he went out to look for medicinal materials."
People who were behind on the news were shocked, "When did this happen?"
"The news only spread in the past two days."
"Is it possible that the imperial court decided to send troops to the border because of this? Chief Li has no heirs..."
While they were discussing, Bai Shan was standing on top of the inn where they were staying, watching condescendingly.
He reached out and closed the door, turned to look at the pale Li Si, "Did you see that?"
Li Si was terrified, recalling the chaos three years ago in his mind.
Her father suddenly broke into the chief's palace with soldiers and horses and started killing. Her husband stood in front of her and the child, but failed to stop her. Not only her husband, but also her one-year-old child was snatched away...
…
If her daughter Xiaoman hadn't hugged her legs and cried bitterly, she would have gone with her...
The shadow of the rebellion has always been hidden in her heart. In the past three years, not only has she not been able to see the chaos, even louder sounds may scare her.
Li Si's hands and feet were weak. It took him a long time to hold on to the table to regain his composure. He looked up at Bai Shan and asked with a pale face, "Are you going to subdue the Liaozi tribe on behalf of the imperial court?"
Bai Zhi asked meaningfully, "Is the Liaozi Department dissatisfied with the imperial court now?"
Li Si was excited and immediately said: "No, the Liaozi tribe is subordinate to the imperial court and never dares to rebel."
Bai Shan nodded with satisfaction and said: "In this case, there is no such thing as surrender."
"The reason why the imperial court sent troops to the border is to prevent chaos in the Liaozi tribe," he said: "I think you should know that there are people who disobey your father's rule. If the epidemic hadn't been so urgent and severe, I'm afraid that at this time, the chieftain's mansion would
It’s already been a round of fighting.”
Li Si said nothing.
Bai Shan walked to the table, picked up the teapot and poured her a cup of tea, "Your brother is dead."
He picked up the tea cup and handed it to her, and said meaningfully: "Now you are the only heir of your father. Whether it is from the Li family or the Zhang family, you are the most suitable heir."
Li Si lowered her eyes and looked at the tea handed to her. She was silent for a long time before raising her hand to hold it. Her hand holding the teacup was still a little trembling, but her voice became firmer and she said, "My daughter..."
"When the medical teams from Yizhou and Liuzhou arrive, I will ask them to send her away. She will go to Mingxue founded by the princess. When she reaches fourteen, Hui Enyin will go to the Imperial Academy to study." Bai Shan said: "
Regardless of whether things work out or not, she can live a good life in Chang'an."
"If it works out, she will be the next chief. But if it doesn't work out, with my wife and I taking care of her, she can live a peaceful life in Chang'an."
Li Si drank all the tea in his hand and said, "As per Master Bai's instructions."
