There are many kinds of emperors in history, some were ambitious and ambitious, such as Qin Shihuang and Emperor Wu of Han, and some were truly incompetent, such as Chen Shubao.
For the former, we can give a lot of hope, but we must be cautious when serving as their ministers. For the latter, there is basically no need to give any hope. Even if Li Xingchen closed the door of Bashu and could not survive, Chen Shubao would not
Take the initiative to find trouble for him, but it is easy to be their minister. You are responsible for accompanying your majesty to eat, drink, have fun, and travel around every day. As long as your majesty behaves well when the country is overthrown, you will still have a future.
The really difficult thing to deal with is someone like Yu Wen, who is moody, greedy and lustful and doesn’t know how much he has. If you ignore him, then you may cause something bad that day. But if you keep staring at him.
If you want to realize your ideals through him, you will only feel bitter and resentful that iron cannot become steel.
It's a bit like students in a class. Those with good grades know how to study and don't worry about it. Those with bad grades don't want to study as long as they don't make trouble. The real trouble is those in the middle who can't get up or down.
So sometimes Li Xingchen felt pity for Yang Jian. He had rivals like himself and Yu Wenxian outside, but he had to deal with people like Yuwen internally. This is why Li Xingchen didn't want to deal too much with Chen Shubao, but simply used it from the outside.
Overthrow him by force.
Whether Yuwen will cooperate with Dahan, and whether he really wants to use Dahan's power, is actually a difficult question to judge.
But having said that, everything has risks. If the purpose of disrupting Yang Jian's strategic arrangements can really be achieved, then these risks will be worth it.
This is indeed the best opportunity to test the Yulin Cavalry and the White Robe.
"Let Yang Su and Cheng Feng come to see me tomorrow." Li Xingchen said in a deep voice, "We will discuss whether it is feasible. In addition, since we can contact Yuwen, we should hurry up and we will take one step at a time."
"No!" Chen Yu agreed hastily.
Li Xingchen breathed out softly.
Yang Jian has internal and external troubles, and it is not easy to solve them here. He only hopes that there will not be so many people in the court causing trouble for him.
While Li Xingchen and Chen Yu were talking in the imperial study, the back hall of the palace was already bustling with activity.
Women in costumes walked through the corridors one after another and climbed up the stairs. A famous palace maid shuttled among them carrying a plate with various exquisite snacks on it.
On the day of the Zhengdan Ceremony, Li Xinchen held a banquet for the ministers in the main hall, and their families would also accept the queen's hospitality in the inner court.
"See you, Queen." Li Lian'er was dressed in a bright red dress and saluted Le Chang Ying Ying. However, she had always been lively, so this courtesy was just a formality. She immediately walked over, put her hand on Le Chang's belly, and smiled.
He said, "Let me see quickly, why is it so bulging?"
Lechang held her paw: "You are also the mother of the child. What is there to be curious about? Why are you like your brother, who always fails to show up?"
Li Lian'er immediately said seriously: "Brother said that as long as you have etiquette in your heart, it will be fine. Even if you are cynical, it will not damage your inner virtue."
Lechang stretched out his hand and tapped her forehead: "This is all serious nonsense, your brother just doesn't teach it well."
"That doesn't stop Brother Huang from becoming a great hero who manages the world and helps the people!" Li Lian'er said with a smile, "Without Brother Huang, we don't know what the world would be like!"
Lechang was silent for a moment. Indeed, no matter how cynical Li Xingchen was on weekdays or how he didn't pay attention to those so-called rules and etiquette, it was remarkable that he had come to this day step by step.
If his elder brother also has such great talent and strategy, then Nan Chen is just that times make heroes, and heroes make current events, both are indispensable. It would be great to have someone who can be so favored by God. Although this person does not appear in the Chen family, but
Being able to become your own husband is also your blessing.
Every five hundred years, there must be a saint. Five hundred years ago it was Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, and five hundred years later it was indeed my husband's turn.
Li Lian'er noticed Lechang's silence and thought she was talking about Lechang's sadness. For a moment, she didn't know what to say, but fortunately, the silence between the two people was soon broken by a person who squeezed in.
.
"Sister Lian'er!" Xiao Xiang rushed out from the side, "You didn't bring anything delicious this time?"
"How do you know how to eat?" Li Lian'er said with a smile, "I think you are just like my brother."
Lechang also burst out laughing. Then he realized that he had just lost his composure. He gently tucked a strand of hair behind his ears and pointed to the table next to him: "Bring it to the Cavalry General's Mansion."
All the food is there, why don’t you go and see it yourself?”
This annual ceremony is not only a time for the royal family to reward ministers to show their honor and favor, but also a time for ministers to choose suitable gifts to show their loyalty. However, the Hussars General Xiao Shilian is still the consort of the court, so there is no need to collect any treasures.
Qi Bao usually asks the Xiao family's cook to prepare some good snacks and Li Lian'er brings them over.
The Xiao family is from Lingnan, and the cooks in the family are good at preparing Lingnan-style snacks, which are more tropical than those from Jiangnan. Therefore, girls like Xiao Xiang and Ningyuan like them the most. If they don't have enough, they will secretly run out of the palace to find them.
Li Lian'er was always there for the meal, and even Li Xingchen would take the lead sometimes.
As the master of the harem, Lechang was angry and funny about this, so he could only pretend not to know. No wonder Li Lian'er said that Xiao Xiang was as greedy as Li Xinchen.
Watching Xiao Xiang leave, Li Lian'er said with a smile: "Sister, there is no need to think too much. You are the queen of the Han Dynasty now, and you will be the same in the future. Brother Huang likes you so much, and he will not do anything to your relatives. If he really
If you dare to hurt you, I will be the first to refuse."
Lechang was startled for a moment and looked at Li Lian'er. Among the concubines in the harem, Lechang had the deepest friendship with the eldest princess. Even Li Lian'er was qualified to become Xiao Shilian's wife because of
There is a reason why Lechang took Chen Shubao to talk matchmaking.
And now Li Lian'er is clearly expressing her support for herself.
"You want to be the princess of Guantao, but I don't want to be the king yet." Lechang joked.
Li Lian'er is now taking care of the family business at home and has begun to read a lot of books. Of course she knows this allusion. When Emperor Jing's concubine Wang of the Han Dynasty joined forces with Princess Guantao, Princess Guantao fell in love because of the king's son's saying that "the beauty is hidden in the golden house"
Moved, the two parties became in-laws, and the king also gained capital and rose through the ranks in the harem, eventually becoming the queen mother. Her son was naturally the famous Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty.
