Chapter 72 Intention
A daughter of the Li family grew up and was raised in the deep boudoir and was unknown to the people.
He is born with beauty and is hard to give up on himself, and he is chosen by the king once.
Is this possible?
impossible.
Li Li is very confident in the "appearance" of his legitimate daughter Li Ping'an, because her daughter inherited her mother's high appearance. As she grew older, she became more and more outstanding in appearance and tall in shape.
However, in this era when he values his origins very much, the royal family will only marry the genius. He was a shabby person, and his daughter could not marry into the royal family.
So Li Li knew that he had been fooled by someone, and the person who fooled him was a widow.
He could not refer to this widow, because this widow's identity was special and she was called the "Queen Mother".
The Empress Dowager asked his wife to take her eldest daughter to the palace more often, so that she could be familiar with other women inside and outside.
This move is meaningful. Judging from this proposal alone, there can be two interpretations:
The first possibility is that the Empress Dowager raised Li Li and personally acted as the "introducer" to bring his wife and daughter into the circle of noble ladies. Even if those noble ladies despise Li Li and Huang Gui's origin, they have to give the Empress Dowager a face.
Therefore, Li Li's wife and eldest daughter were able to integrate into this circle of ladies through constant gatherings and establish superficial friendship with those noble ladies.
In the words of later generations, there was a group of sisters who were in plastic, at least they looked very glorious.
The second possibility is that the empress dowager intends to let Li Li's legitimate daughter be the queen or be the concubine?
It should be the queen, and if she is the concubine, Li Li has more than this daughter.
Only when Li Li becomes the emperor's father-in-law and the future crown prince's grandfather, the tiger becomes a loyal dog, protecting the emperor.
But Li Li believes that the Empress Dowager suddenly made this happen, which is more likely to deliberately cause misunderstandings from the outside world: making the emperor's uncles, royal families, and ministers think that his daughter will become the queen.
So Li Li became the target of public criticism, and his enemies would double.
When he fought with these people in a dark way, the Queen Mother took the opportunity to benefit and put in people to control the government, making the position of the young emperor more stable.
Then he stood up and "refuted the rumors": Oh, I don't have that intention to let the Pengcheng male girl be the queen!
It is impossible for the royal family to marry the cold people. This has been the practice for hundreds of years, and there is no exception.
Whoever dares to challenge this exception will be regarded as a public enemy by the gentry's cleansing people.
Li Li did not think that the empress dowager had the courage to face criticism from the court, so he was fooled.
After he returned to his residence, Zhang Ying, who heard the news, immediately analyzed the possible impact of this emergency:
"June, this is a plan to move Jiangdong, and you can't hide it. You can only deal with it by chance."
Li Li smiled bitterly: "It's great now. Everyone is staring at me. I am like a magnet, sucking all the arrowheads."
"Isn't this just right? If you come, the king will clean up one. In the end, even if it's a fake show, it will be done."
"Fake play? It's impossible for the royal family to marry Han Ren. If I let my daughter be a concubine, I will be a concubine..."
When an emperor accepts a concubine, he can regardless of his origin, as long as he is beautiful. Throughout the dynasties, it is also a common method to let the daughters of heroes enter the palace to become concubines.
"Mr. The emperor has accepted a concubine before he got married. Is this a decoration for the censors and the innocent people?" Zhang Ying retorted.
Li Li asked: "Why will my daughter be the concubine after he was established? My two daughters are of the same age, one is the legitimate and one is the illegitimate."
"Make her the queen? Then the day when the emperor is hired is also the time when the king and the lord are engaged as the legitimate daughter. If the emperor wants to accept a concubine, he can only accept a concubine's daughter of the Li family."
"The Empress Dowager wants to work hard for a son-in-law if she doesn't give her a title to her husband. Why?"
Zhang Ying was not optimistic about the orphan and widowed mother, but he still felt that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, even if the empress dowager was just cheating.
"Since Junhou has the confidence to overcome all difficulties before returning to the capital, it doesn't matter if there are more difficulties."
"As the saying goes, there is no need to worry about debt, they jump out one by one, that's fine, and I'll clean up the money by the way."
Li Li felt that this was troublesome: "With more opponents, the difficulty of dealing with them will double. Are you sure we can handle it?"
"June, if you can't fight with literature, then you can use force. Wouldn't it be better?" Zhang Ying was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, so he always wanted Li Li to do something straightforward.
The two of them discussed for a while, but the result of the discussion was only to deal with the moves and do what they wanted.
After all, the Empress Dowager had already said it. No matter what the original intention was, it was impossible for all parties to be hostile to Li Li to be greatly increased, and it would be impossible to save it.
"In this way, I have to worry a lot more..." Li Li sighed, and Zhang Ying expressed his opinion: "Don't worry, the lord, the lord, the lord, I am willing to share the worries of the lord."
Li Li suddenly said: "You have used your brain too much and your hair is sparse. How can I bear it after years of old friends?"
Zhang Ying was almost choked by Li Li's tricky words: "Junhou was joking, the lower official's hair was thick, how could it be said that it was sparse?"
......
In the afternoon, Huang Yan, who came back from the palace in the study room, talked to Li Li about every detail of entering the palace today.
It is a very common thing for a wife in Beijing to enter the palace to meet the queen and the queen mother, and it is also true that she brings her young children.
However, the Japanese Empress Dowager took the initiative to tell Li Li to ask Mrs. Pengcheng to take her daughter to the palace for a walk, which was a bit meaningful.
Today, Huang Gui brought his daughter Li Ping'an into the palace and let his daughter show her face in front of the empress dowager.
After Huang Gui came back, he thought about it and couldn't think of any puns about every word the Empress Dowager said to her and her daughter today.
It's just ordinary chat.
There were no signs of anyone peeping in the dark.
It seems that the Queen Mother really has no intention of letting her daughter enter the palace to be the queen.
That's... for the concubine?
Huang Ying didn't want her daughter to enter the palace to be a concubine, but she was a delusion.
She knew that her family was humble and that the royal family had only intermarried with the gentry, so it was impossible for the queen to be involved.
So she would not mention any "possible" to her daughter, and she also ordered the servants in the mansion not to talk much, and no one in the mansion would be allowed to say anything about "entering the palace as a concubine."
"Don't worry, I think the Queen Mother has just used a small trick to attract other people's attention." Li Li said slowly, Huang Yan was a little dissatisfied:
"Why is this necessary? Causing us for no reason."
"It's not all a problem. The new tax system must be implemented. For me, the Queen Mother's move may be a helping hand."
Li Li tried to think about things better: "When this news is released, many people will think that our Li family will become a relative of the outside world, and then it will be invincible. Therefore, the implementation of the new tax system may be much smaller."
"Why isn't it bigger?" Huang Yan retorted, "It's impossible to establish the tax system, let you make a fool of yourself, and then, the slightest hope of becoming a relative of the foreign country will naturally disappear."
"Do you really want us to become relatives?" Li Li asked. Although his daughter is not yet at the age of marriage, marriage always needs to be considered...
Huang Yan shook her head: "No, if you enter the palace safely, you will be ruined for the rest of your life. The emperor will be disgusted by her background, so why should the couple have a love relationship?"
She just wants her daughter to marry a good family, and the couple respect each other and have a support for the rest of her life.
Instead of becoming a victim of the power struggle, being a queen will not be happy, and being a concubine... After losing favor, wouldn't that be a widow?
Li Li nodded: "Will you get married? Ping An is less than old, so there is no hurry. The Empress Dowager didn't make any clear statement anyway."
"When we get over the limelight, we will find a good family and settle the marriage."
"It's okay to get engaged first. When we get married at the age of age, our daughter will marry a good husband."
Huang Yan felt relieved when he saw Li Li think clearly, but when he talked about "good in-laws", he was worried.
Li Li has a high official position but is from a humble family. Under such a contradiction, it is actually difficult to find a good family with a good family, and it is a situation where there is no high or low.
"Is it difficult? Actually, it's not difficult." Li Li chuckled gently, "As long as you like peace and be healthy, have a good character, and have literary talent, that's fine."
"It doesn't matter what kind of background is. As long as the future son-in-law is talented, I, as a father-in-law, can make him glorious!"
......
"As the saying goes, "Is it a blessing to lose my horse? Have you ever thought about having a fake show?"
In the study, Zu Yi was giving Li Li advice and trying to analyze a possibility: his daughter really became the queen.
"There is no need. If you have this idea, it will be easy for others to take advantage of." Li Li shook his head, but Zu Qi had a lot of ideas.
The best way to control the emperor is to use his daughter as the queen. Erzhu Rong, Gao Huan, and Yuwen Tai have all done this.
"Junhou, what my subordinates said is to use this misunderstanding to cause more misunderstandings, so that those people can all jump out, so that Junhou can clean up as soon as possible."
"Clean it clean? Then what?" Li Li asked knowingly.
Zu Qi did not avoid his intentions: "Of course it is to replace it, otherwise, the king and the prince think he still has a way out?"
Li Li did not answer positively: "You are very persistent, okay, just listen to your thoughts."
"Yes, the officials thought that the Empress Dowager suddenly said this, but it was just a disaster to Jiangdong. However, the king and the prince could also deliberately cause further misunderstandings from others."
"For example, people think that the king really wants his daughter to be the queen and are laying various preludes for this, so they confront each other, and the result..."
"As a result, Junhou was just a feint attack. Their rhythm was led by Junhou, so their guards in other aspects would naturally become weak."
"Your Majesty is good at fighting, and I want to be proficient in the way of reality and reality..."
"Even, Junhou can use this as a bargaining chip, a bargaining chip to trade with others, at the cost of his daughter not entering the palace, in exchange for the other party's concession in some aspects."
This idea is enough. Li Li thinks that Zu Yi is really a talented person who makes money. If he works in the financial industry in his later generations, he may be able to achieve financial freedom at a young age.
"So, how should we build this virtual bargaining chip?"
Zu Yi coughed dryly: "If Junhou really made up his mind to have a fake show, or plan to be the queen, and the subordinates would think about it again, otherwise it would be a waste of time."
Just as Li Li thought about it, he heard the implication and couldn't help laughing and crying: "What do you mean is that I am afraid of my inner self?"
"There is no such thing as the official." Zu Yi said insincerely.
"You..." Li Li smiled, "Is I the one who fears me?"
You are a strong and energetic man, but you haven't taken a new concubine for several years. Isn't this fear?
Zu Feng thought so, of course it was impossible to say this: "Of course, the king and the lord are not like each other."
Li Li was speechless when he heard this: It was another pun, what does it mean to be different?
He changed his subject: "I won't mention this matter for now. The new tax system is about to be implemented. Are you all ready?"
"It's ready." Zu Yi smiled, his eyes flashing with a cold light: "Just wait for someone with no eyes to jump out, embarrassing his eyes, and was used by the Lord to establish his authority!"
