Although Li Yi is her senior uncle, as a senior uncle, it is okay to help Yang Liuqing rebel, but it is not okay to help her give birth to a son.
He only cares about how Yang Liuqing ascends the throne as emperor, avenges her father and brother, and realizes his long-cherished wish. As for who she will pass the throne to after becoming empress, it is not his, as a junior uncle, who needs to worry about it.
.
Old man Wang came with doubts and entanglements. After Li Yi explained his doubts, he left with a happy face.
After a while, Wei Liang and Chen Qing came together again.
Li Yi was really worried about this nephew. He not only helped her make plans, but also helped her subordinates improve their thinking.
Wei Liang and Chen Qing were both former border generals, but defending the border was different from rebelling. Li Yi needed to teach them how to start the first war, how to improve the military system, including how to expand the organization, do a good job in united front work, and create waves...
Li Yi has always advocated the use of dedicated personnel, leaving the ideological work to Old Man Wang. He is very confident that he is absolutely professional in how to compile nursery rhymes, stuff silk books into the fish's belly, and write persuasive letters.
As for Wei Liang and Chen Qing, their responsibilities are actually more important. How to grow their camp from 500 people to 50,000, 500,000 people, how to fight every battle, how to defend every city, and how to help the Queen.
Clearing all the obstacles encountered along the way is such a heavy burden that will fall on their shoulders.
Unknowingly, he had been talking for more than an hour. Li Yi waved his hand tiredly and said, "That's it for today."
When the two left, they bowed deeply to him. What they had learned from King Jing these days was enough to last a lifetime.
Li Yi leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and took a rest.
Although I am a little tired, the fatigue is worth it.
Not only did he do this to help his nephew, but it also satisfied a certain complex in his heart...
Shan said that Ruyi had been much gentler to him these days, and it was all worth it.
He leaned on the chair. After an unknown amount of time, a pair of hands appeared on his shoulders, pressing them gently.
Not Ruyi Xiaohuan or Ruoqing, only Ruyi would use such a jerky technique.
He was a little torn in his heart. He wanted Ruyi to remain gentle like this, but also hoped that she could return to her true nature. She was becoming less and less like her now. If she deliberately suppressed it, would she have been very unhappy?
Of course, he was just caring about Ruyi, not that he had any strange habits or awakened any attributes that shouldn't be awakened.
At a certain moment, Ruyi's hand on his shoulder paused and said, "Thank you."
"Thank you for what?" Li Yi opened his eyes and asked doubtfully.
"Thank you for being willing to help her."
"I helped her. What do you want to thank me for?"
Miss Liu Er did not answer again. Li Yi thought for a while, waved his hand and said: "It's actually not as complicated as you think. Think about it, if your apprentice becomes the emperor, wouldn't you be the emperor's master, and I will become
The emperor's uncle is senior to the emperor, so it's very honorable to tell..."
Miss Liu Er paused and asked, "Is this what you want?"
"What else can there be?" Li Yi shook his head and said: "Besides, if she becomes the queen, you will be the queen's master. Even if Mingzhu really becomes the queen, won't you be better than her?"
Miss Liu Er frowned and said, "Even if this matter hadn't happened, I would still be better than her."
Why is the family so worried about each other? Naturally, Li Yi would not mention the fact that she lost to Mingzhu in the competition. He shook his head and said, "Isn't this the icing on the cake..."
Miss Liu Er seemed to have remembered something and asked: "Since you helped Yang Liuqing ascend the throne because you wanted to be the queen's uncle, what did you want to do when you made Li Mingzhu the emperor?"
"..."
Li Yi closed his eyes and said: "I just talked to them for too long and they are a little sleepy. I'll take a nap first..."
He was actually really sleepy, but the strength of the hands on his shoulders was getting stronger and stronger, making it difficult to sleep...
…
Cangzhou.
Cangzhou is located on the northwest border of Wu Kingdom. Although it cannot be called a barren land, it is too far away from the imperial capital and is adjacent to a chaotic place. Bandits and bandits often come out to cause trouble. For decades or hundreds of years, the people of Cangzhou have been deeply troubled by banditry.
, life is in embarrassment, people are in dire straits...
In the past two years, the banditry in the chaotic land has been eliminated, but the lives of the people have become even more miserable.
Since the chaos in the Wu Kingdom a few years ago, the imperial court has lost actual control over Cangzhou.
In the past few years, Cangzhou has changed hands several times. First, a powerful force took advantage of the domestic chaos, attacked the city, killed the governor and his assistants, and proclaimed himself king.
Of course, a few months later, they were wiped out by troops sent by the imperial court. Later, Cangzhou was attacked by powerful forces several times. The imperial court retreated and came again, and came and went again. Until two years ago, Princess Duanrong almost eliminated them with her iron-blooded tactics.
He suppressed the rebel forces in Cangzhou and promulgated several policies to benefit the people, allowing the people of Cangzhou to have a short period of recuperation.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Just a year ago, Princess Duanrong was encircled and suppressed by the imperial court and several forces recruiting security forces. After the defeat, there was no news at all.
Nowadays, Shuzhou has been recaptured by the imperial court, but with the military strength of the imperial court, it is impossible to suppress the several rebels who have taken advantage of the situation in the past year. The people are suffering from it and their life is extremely difficult.
A village dozens of miles away from the city of Cangzhou.
Muramasa, who had all white hair and beard, knelt on the ground, bursting into tears, and begged: "Master Butler, please give us a little more time and a few days of grace. The village was robbed two days ago, and this is all we have left.
This is life-saving food for me. If you take away this food, we will not be able to survive!"
A middle-aged man in a satin shirt glanced at him and said coldly: "It is only natural to pay back debts. You were robbed. What does it have to do with me? I only know that you can't pay the rent. When you go back,
, Master will punish me, I will give you grace, who will give me grace?"
He looked at the people behind him and said: "What are you still doing? Take all the food away!"
Several servants carried cloth bags on their backs. Among the crowd below, more than ten men in coarse cloths looked sad and angry, but they could only stand where they were, not daring to make any move.
If they take action against these people, the people who come to our door tomorrow will be government agents!
Seeing several people loading the grain into the carriage, the middle-aged man looked down and frowned: "I have only paid less than 30%. I will give you another half month. If you still can't pay it after half a month,
, but don’t blame me for being rude!”
"Half a month..." The village leader watched a few people take away the last food in the village, collapsed to the ground, his eyes were dull, and murmured: "Half a month, half a month..., half a month
, everyone starved to death..."
He sat on the ground, pointed at the sky and cursed: "God, God, God, you are not giving us people a way to live, you are asking us to die!"
No one in the villagers spoke, they all had empty eyes and stared blankly ahead.
Just after the autumn harvest, all the grain was snatched away by bandits. If they couldn't pay the rent, the owner's family looted all their grain...
This entire village, with nearly a hundred mouths, is about to run out of food. How can it survive next year...
This shitty world doesn't give people like them a way to survive at all. It would be great if Her Royal Highness was still here...
"Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun..." The woman's panicked voice woke everyone up, and they all looked in the direction of the sound.
A girl about seven or eight years old, with ragged clothes and messy hair, fell to the ground. The woman squatted on the ground, picked up the girl, and shook her in panic.
"Xiaoyun, what's wrong with you..."
Muramasa got up from the ground, walked over quickly, touched the girl's forehead, shook his head, and said: "This child has been sick for several days. Please find a doctor quickly. If you delay any longer, she will be dead...
…”
The woman looked desperate. They couldn't even afford to eat. How could they have any spare money to find a doctor?
She hugged the girl, burst into tears, and cried: "Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun, mother is sorry for you, mother is sorry for you..."
"Sister-in-law, what happened?"
Hearing a voice from beside her, the woman suddenly raised her head and saw a young man walking by the roadside.
The young man walked to the woman's side, knelt down, and pinched the little girl's forehead. The little girl slowly woke up.
She looked at the woman and said weakly: "Mom, I'm hungry..."
The woman hurriedly wiped her tears and said, "Mom, go find something to eat for you..."
The young man took out a package from his arms, opened it, took out a steamed bun, handed it to the little girl, and said, "Let's eat something first."
The little girl was stunned, and the next moment she took the steamed bun and started to devour it.
The young man turned back and said to the man standing on the roadside with a red cross armband on his shoulder: "This little girl is sick. Come and help her."
He looked at the woman and smiled: "Don't worry, he is a doctor."
All this happened very quickly. After the woman was stunned for a moment, she immediately knelt down on the ground, kowtowed to the young man several times, and said loudly: "Thank you for your great kindness, thank you for your great kindness...
"
The young man shook his head and said with a smile: "No need to thank me. If you want to thank me, just thank the Queen of Heaven..."
