Chapter 278 It’s hard to tell the gains and losses
When Zhao Rui said this, Li Chen was not in the mood to enjoy the snow and plum blossoms.
Just kidding, what kind of plum blossoms can be as beautiful as daisies?
Li Chen, who was in high spirits, pulled Zhao Rui towards the dormitory. Although it was not yet dark and it was time to rest, no one dared to disturb the scenery at this time. The maids were also very sensible and did not follow, leaving His Highness alone.
He went to bully the prince's concubine.
At this time, in the Fengxi Palace, all the serving maids and eunuchs were kicked out. The guards held their swords in their hands and were carrying out the Queen Mother's instructions. Anyone who intruded without orders would be killed without mercy.
In the palace, Li Yinhu, who had just arrived, was kneeling in front of Zhao Qinglan.
"My dearest son, please thank your mother."
After returning from the East Palace, Zhao Qinglan felt physically and mentally exhausted, but still managed to summon Li Yinhu.
For many things and many words, it was not convenient for her father to come forward, so she had to be the middleman.
Zhao Qinglan put aside the ginseng tea he had only taken two sips of, and said softly: "Don't thank me in a hurry. I only said half of what I said."
"Although the Crown Prince had no choice but to agree to your title of king, the title was given to King Zhao, at the level of a county king, so that's all. It's just a childish trick used to create a barrier between you and my mother's family, and it cannot be put on the table."
"However, the prince did not grant you a fief, so you can only stay in the capital."
A gloomy look flashed across Li Yinhu's face, but it disappeared in an instant. He said respectfully: "My mother has already taken care of a lot of things for my son and ministers. For such a result, I am grateful to my son and I dare not ask for more."
.”
Nodding, Zhao Qinglan said with great relief: "You just know how to advance and retreat better than your brother... Regarding the fiefdom, I had concluded that it was unlikely when I discussed it with my father before."
"However, this is not a bad thing. It is not peaceful outside at the moment. The rebellion in Xishan Province has not been put down, and chaos has appeared in various places. If it were not for those vassal kings who have been operating in the fiefdom for a long time, you, the new king, would have won the fiefdom.
, and it may not be able to continue operating.”
Li Yinhu said expressionlessly: "Everything depends on the mother."
Zhao Qinglan glanced at Li Yinhu and said: "I don't know what you are thinking, but this is the best result right now. You'd better accept the reality. What's more, staying in the capital may not be a bad thing."
"Looking at the previous dynasties, as long as there are vassal kings, the problem of vassal kings causing rebellion in the later dynasty will never be solved. But why did the Taizu of this dynasty still choose to confederate?"
"The world only knows that Taizu favored his clansmen and hoped that the Qin Dynasty would be forever stable in the future, and blood and family ties are one of the best ties to maintain it."
"The territory of the Qin Dynasty is more than ten thousand miles. Such a vast territory cannot be managed solely by ministers and generals."
"What's more, under Taizu, all nine sons are skilled in martial arts and martial arts. They are first-class talents. They can help the future emperor manage the country well."
"But in fact, Taizu really made up his mind to divide the feudal clan and continue it because Taizu understood that compared with the rebellion of the feudal princes, raising the prince in the capital would not only increase the expenses of the royal family and the court, but also increase the troubles."
"Those princes have nothing to do all day long, so they will stare at the throne above their heads. Only by giving them something to do, keeping them busy, and staying away from the capital, the center of the world's authority, will their minds be quenched."
"And you, in order not to give you too much power, the prince now suppresses you in the capital. It seems that he is bullying you because you are young and has no power, but in fact, who can say for sure whether this is digging his own grave?"
