Chapter 559 Tiger and Wolf

In the mansion and study, Huang Gui looked at Li Li: "After a calculation, is it just to make Ping An the queen?"

Li Li shrugged: "No, but the King of Poyang dared not give up and dared not compete for the position of the Secretary of State."

"I said, I don't support whoever I win, but whoever I support can win, but whoever I support, but whoever I win, but this person..."

"After all, he is not a descendant of the royal family, and he does not have the strong qualifications and prestige of the former King of Poyang. Once he takes the position of the Shangshu, he will be unable to convince the public. The kings are likely to be defeated by the death."

Huang Gui looked puzzled: "The fish dies, the net may not be broken. If you support me."

Li Li sighed: "The King of Poyang has no confidence in his uncle and brothers. After all, when the former King of Poyang was killed, these people performed too poorly."

"The King of Poyang could have been close to the water tower and got the moon first, but after this hesitation, the Empress Dowager reacted, like a drowning man who tried hard to catch my floating board and never let go of his death."

Huang Yan's face showed anger: "So, you still didn't push it? Why can't you push it?"

"The Queen Mother cried. Do you know what this means in front of so many people? I can only apologize."

"This is pushing Ping An into the fire pit. The emperor will not treat her well!"

"Si Niang, listen to me..."

"How come you are Aye!!"

"calm!"

“….”

Huang Gui looked at Li Li angrily, and Li Li spread his hands: "The Empress Dowager cried in public. I can't refuse this trick anymore. What else can I do?"

"This matter will be spread soon. Everyone knows that the Queen Mother is desperate and has no choice but to find a father-in-law to be a shield for the helpless emperor. If I don't agree, it will be that I will not save him when I die. I'm sorry for the late emperor."

"Do you care about this? What do you still owe the late emperor?" Huang Yan asked back, staring at Li Li again, Li Li widened his eyes: "Are you teaching me to do things?"

Huang Gui was so choked by this sentence that he couldn't speak.

Li Li said again: "I don't agree. Yes, facing the emperor and the empress dowager who have almost no ability to resist, the ambitious people will make a try."

"If King Poyang comes to power, it's okay. When others come to power, when the situation is stable, the first thing I have to kill is my tiger, so I still have to take action first."

"Uncle the emperor returned to Beijing to assist in government affairs, come and kill one? Hey, I'm not a poisoning expert. Do you think I really want to do whatever I want?"

Huang Gui was angry: "What should I do if Ping An? What should I do for this life!"

"What do you mean is that I will kill the emperor? Kill the monarch? Is there no need to enter the palace?"

"I don't mean that..."

"Will it be over?" Li Li slowed down his tone, "This matter may not be possible. If the news spreads, there will definitely be people who will obstruct it in every way. Whether the empress dowager can withstand it or not."

Huang Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The Queen Mother has no choice. She hesitated before because she could rely on old friends in the East Palace to balance all parties. Now, no one can be used. If he hesitates, his son will die."

"Only you can serve as a guardian tiger for the emperor and fight against the wolves surrounding him."

"But you won't work for nothing, you have to have great benefits, so the Queen Mother must do this marriage no matter what."

Seeing that his wife was regaining her rationality, Li Li sighed: "Yes, Ping An has been wronged, but we can only bury this sentence in our hearts. Don't let Ping An feel wronged before she gets married."

"Soon after time, the emperor will dislike her sooner or later..." As she said that, Huang Yan's eyes turned red, she covered her mouth and started sobbing.

She has always been strong, so she won't cry easily, but it is related to her daughter's happiness. As a mother, she will inevitably be worried and in chaos.

"I know, I know..." Li Li was also a little sad, "I know that the emperor will be dissatisfied sooner or later, making Ping'an the queen."

In this era, marriage attaches great importance to family background, and the same is true for the royal family.

Not to mention the distant future, let alone the establishment of the Liang Kingdom, the royal family and the royal family have never married non-genius women.

This is a kind of marriage concept that is deeply rooted in people's hearts, just like thinking that people cannot marry monkeys.

This is not Li Li's self-deprecating self-conception that he is a monkey. The fact is that there is a huge gap between the gentry and the cold race in marriage, and there is a deep-rooted concept of "marriage class isolation".

The royal family has always been intermarried with the gentry. So under the influence of this concept of marriage, once the young emperor recovered, he looked at the queen of his extremely poor background, and he could only feel disgusted.

Even though Li Ping'an is the daughter of a hero, she can read and write, play the piano, act appropriately, and has outstanding appearance, it cannot cover the fact that the family is inferior (actually there is no family at all).

The emperor always minded, thinking that he could have made the gentry daughter, or even the daughter of Wang Xie as the queen, maintaining his noble bloodline and gloriousness, but the result...

Even if Li Ping'an performed well, his humble origins would still be like a thorn in the emperor's heart.

If the emperor has a thorn in his heart, he will have prejudice against Li Ping'an. No matter what Li Ping'an does, he will not be favored by the emperor, and there will be more and more disgust.

Li Li didn't expect that once the emperor really cares about family issues, he would inevitably treat Li Ping'an with cold violence. As his father, he didn't want to see this situation.

"If he dares to treat Ping'an, I will let him die!"

The bold words came out of Li Li's mouth. Huang Yan subconsciously looked at the door of the room after hearing this, but he had already arranged for someone to "clear the place" in advance and would not have any ears to pass through the walls.

"I owe peace to my fault and will make up for it with actions. If things are really settled, she must be happy when she gets married and not feel wronged."

Huang Gui gradually calmed down and stopped being stubborn: "I understand."

Li Ping'an is thirteen this year, and thirteen and fourteen are the common age of women getting married in this era, so there is nothing wrong with it.

Huang Gui thought of the possible impact of this incident and reminded him: "As soon as this news spread, you are on the target of public criticism. Are you ready?"

"I'm in a hurry, they can get on together." Li Li sneered, "Look at whether they have a hard bone, or my knife is hard."

Although the politics of foreign relatives has long declined, foreign relatives can still become the emperor's sword, representing imperial power and attacking dissidents.

Li Li is a fierce tiger. Once he has a great reputation, he will be like a tiger.

The Empress Dowager must have been concerned about this, so she only mentioned the so-called "marriage" and there was no further information.

Now, the empress dowager is desperate and her family cannot rely on her family. She dares not rely on the royal family, nor can she be able to play with power balance.

He could only seek medical treatment in a hurry, bring Li Li to be a relative of the foreigners, and balance the royal family members who were eyeing him.

"What will the King of Poyang think? Will it be blocked?" Huang Yan asked again, and Li Li shook his head: "He made a choice. After all, he is now sitting on the position of the Prime Minister of the Government, but he is really the target of arrows."

"But if someone comes to record the affairs of the Shangshu, his life will not be easy. If I can go further, he will have room for his display."

"Then, who will record the affairs of the Secretary of the House?"

"It's not me anyway, otherwise, I'll really become a public enemy."

......

On the outskirts of Poyang City, next to a tomb, Huang? was taking his sons to sweep his father Huang Dache's tomb.

When his father passed away, he immediately resigned and returned to his hometown to mourn for his father. Although he did not live in a hut beside his father's grave, he often came to clean it.

Therefore, there are not many weeds around the tombs, and the tombstones are clean.

After weeding, Huang? He took his son to burn incense to his father.

Before he knew it, three years passed, Huang, who had finished mourning, was about to leave Poyang and clean up his father's grave next time. I don't know how long it will take.

Huang, who had already ended his mourning at the beginning of the year, was waiting for a new appointment. This required his brother-in-law to find someone to "dile the joints" and arrange a suitable position, so it took time.

My brother-in-law has no foundation in the court, so he has to spend some effort on this, from the end of last year to the beginning of this year.

As a result, there was an emergency in the capital, and major events occurred one after another, including palace changes, people died, two emperor uncles and one emperor uncle.

When the situation is clear, surprise comes.

The emperor made Huang's niece Li Ping'an the queen. Not long ago, Li Ping'an entered the palace with glory and the Liang State had a queen.

Li Li became the emperor's father-in-law, promoted to the throne of general, and governed the military affairs of the palace city.

The news reached Poyang, which made Huang excited.

The general is the official position of the 18th rank of the rank of the rank of the 18th rank. This is the highest level of official position. Among them are the prime minister, the Taizai, the Taifu, the Taibao, the Grand Sima, the General, the Taiwei, the Situ, and the Sikong.

The general ranked sixth, and in terms of the order of official positions alone, there were five people between Li Li and the emperor.

However, this is a false position, and to be promoted, the nobles have no real power.

Therefore, Li Li's real power comes from his position - the General of the Central Army, and the "Governor of the Palace City Military".

The governor of the military affairs of the Palace City means controlling the military power of the Palace City, that is, leading the imperial guards to guard the palace, and his father-in-law personally manages the guard team and guards the house for his son-in-law.

Although it is not an auxiliary government, it controls the palace. If there are any traitors who want to rebel and launch a palace change, they must first pass Li Li's level.

Therefore, with the power of "governor of the Palace City and the Military", the general's false position is an important real position and will continue to supervise taxes.

In order to prevent it, Zhang Ying served as the Minister of the Central Secretariat. Although he was an official position in the fourth rank of the class, he participated in the confidentiality (responsible for drafting the edicts) to prevent anyone from forgerizing the edicts.

Thinking of this, yellow eyebrows raised.

Now the Li family is a relative of the foreigner, so maybe the Huang family will be the relative of the Li family in the future.

He looked at his father's grave and said to himself: You have a good son-in-law. Your granddaughter becomes the queen. He can't say that his grandson will become the emperor in the future.

Huang? Don’t think that my brother-in-law has been doing this for so much effort, and he wants to be a loyal minister for others. Many people around Li Li are not willing to do so.

He is no exception.

The servants cleaned up the scene, Huang? was about to go home, and set off for Jiankang soon to help his brother-in-law.

The major event that happened in Jiankang in March changed the current situation. After some personnel transfer, the water became even more chaotic.

The emperor's uncle, King Xiao of Jiangxia, was a minister of the Shangshu, and served as the vassal king, and was in charge of the government affairs.

King Xiao Si of Poyang asked to resign from his post in Beijing, claiming that he had to leave Jiankang and go to Raozhou to find secret treasures that benefit the country and the people.

Poyang County, Raozhou, was the vassal state of the Poyang King (nominal). The emperor (empress dowager) was specially approved. King Poyang was granted the vassal state and served as the governor of Raozhou. He searched for the court and mined secret treasures.

Huang? I think this is nothing more than a compromise between all parties, allowing the Poyang King to leave the capital in a decent manner in the name of being a vassal, and avoid conflicts with the emperors who returned to the capital.

After all, the last time, the two emperors changed the lives of the former Poyang King.

Anyway, if Li Li guards the emperor's son-in-law, the empress dowager is not afraid of causing trouble for the uncles who return to Beijing, and the King of Poyang is not afraid of being liquidated after leaving Beijing.

Huang? He was still looking forward to the emperor's uncles and the royal family causing trouble, so he just asked Li Li to clean up. You must know that Li Li is not a lonely tiger, and there is no chance of winning in a group of wolves.

The tigers clean up the wolves, and they can clean up, but they may be fine.
