Chapter 585
In the evening, at the Pengcheng Duke Mansion, Li Li looked at a piece of glutinous rice cake in the bowl and fell into deep thought.
The night before yesterday, the emperor choked on glutinous rice cakes. If Li Li had not taught his daughter the "Heimlik First Aid Method" before and his daughter was rescued properly, the emperor would have "died" at that time.
If this is true, because the emperor has no descendants and does not even have heirs, the throne should be the closest King Xiao of Jiangxia.
In this way, he only has one way, that is, rebellion.
Otherwise, the whole family will die sooner or later, because for the new king, he is a tiger that he is not familiar with.
Now, Li Li looked at the glutinous rice cake and thought about a question: Is the emperor choking when eating glutinous rice cake? Is it an accident or an attempted assassination?
If it is an attempted assassination, then what material does the glutinous rice cake add that can almost choke a boy?
I really want to know the principle, maybe I can use it in the future...
Li Li thought to himself, and directly pinched a piece of glutinous rice cake with his hands and started eating slowly.
It is very common to choke when eating, so it cannot be said that the emperor almost died of eating glutinous rice cakes, because someone deliberately made glutinous rice cakes too sticky.
This incident was more like an accident. The Empress Dowager did not make a big fuss about it. Of course, this was just for others to see on the surface, and some measures must be taken secretly to avoid any further problems.
Li Li slowly ate glutinous rice cakes and thought about things.
From the perspective of conspiracy theory, the emperor's accidents may come one after another.
Because the queen gave birth to a girl, the emperor had no queen for the time being. If something happened, the Li family of the foreign relative stood aside and stayed in Huaiyin, naturally it would not be implemented.
Therefore, Li Li knew that his current situation was very subtle.
When people are in the capital and have a high position, they become relatives of the outside world, and they will inevitably be at the center of the vortex of the power struggle.
All kinds of conspiracies and intrigues came one after another, and he could not take it lightly.
The problem is that now he is in the open, and a large number of potential enemies can hiding in the dark, and can always shoot hidden arrows from all directions, which is hard to defend against.
His every move was stared at by countless pairs of eyes. If he wanted to make any move, it was difficult to hide it from those who were interested.
So, it's better to...
Anyway, it is not difficult to control the emperor, so it is better to forge an imperial edict, mobilize the army to attack the princes, and use force to eliminate the power of the royal family.
It is no better to use force to break the situation than to have intrigue all day long?
This is a very tempting choice. Many people around Li Li advised him like this.
As a strategist, it is normal to make such an idea, but as a decision maker, Li Li believes that if he cannot remain calm, he will easily be led astray.
It is understandable that the people around you want to be "responsible heroes" and want to be founding fathers.
But this is not a game, it does not mean that you can usher in a perfect finale by completing the achievement of "receiving Zen and becoming emperor".
The purpose of a startup team to run a company is very consistent at the beginning, but it is different at the end:
The leader is thinking of waiting for the company to go public, becoming bigger and stronger, and the entrepreneurial team continues to work hard, so that the company can become a leader in the industry.
Even becoming a cross-industry giant.
Other entrepreneurial partners are probably thinking of cashing out their equity after listing to achieve personal financial freedom, retire before the age of 30, traveling around the world with their confidantes and enjoying their life.
As for the past ideals and the development of the company, there is no need to worry about it.
For entrepreneurial partners, it is a good thing to invest in a company by listing it and obtaining a large capital.
So, boss, please sign and agree quickly. After signing, everyone's hard work will be rewarded.
Li Li withdrew his divergent thoughts and thought from the perspective of others: If it were the young Xiao Yan, what would he do when facing such a situation?
The reason why he thinks in this way is because after Zhang Ying's analysis, Li Li found that when Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan was young (the era of Xiao Qi), he did have a way of fighting power.
If you are cruel and ruthless, you will jump back if you should, and there is no moral burden.
It was during the Yongming period. The young Xiao Yan was an aide to the prince Jingling King Xiao Ziliang, and seven scholars from Jingling Prince's Mansion, and were also called "Eight Friends of Jingling".
Later, Emperor Xiao Ziliang was seriously ill and Xiao Ziliang served in the palace. Xiao Zi, who was gradually unconscious, knew that his destiny was not long and he wanted to pass the throne...
Xiao Zhaoye, the crown prince who was not in the palace, or the second son Xiao Ziliang, who was in front of him?
Xiao Ziliang's confidant Wang Rong was the Secretary of the Central Secretariat at the time. Taking advantage of Xiao Ziliang's order to lead the guards into the palace guards, he mobilized the guards of the Jingling Palace to block the various gates of the palace (block the news), and then forged the imperial edict and passed the throne to Xiao Ziliang.
At the same time, Xiao Yan, aide to the royal family, pulled Xiao Ziliang, who was retreating in the face of the battle, and prevented him from leaving the unconscious emperor.
The crown prince Xiao Zhaoye learned that the situation was wrong in the palace and wanted to enter the palace, but could not enter.
Xiao Luan, the Xichang Hou, who was ordered to assist in the administration, led his troops to escort Xiao Zhaoye into the palace. When the imperial guards saw Xiao Luan coming, their position was shaken.
At the critical moment, Xiao Yan, the only experience in leading troops on Xiao Ziliang, jumped back, which caused the guards of the Jingling Prince's Mansion to lose their courage and failed to stop Xiao Luan.
Xiao Ziliang gave up seizing the throne, and Xiao Zhaoye ascended the throne.
Wang Rong, who was in charge, naturally had no good ending. Xiao Ziliang died of depression after being undermined.
And Xiao Yan actually transformed into Xiao Luan's left arm and right arm.
He became the front pawn of Xiao Luan's "uncle seized the throne" and became the accomplice of Xiao Luan's massacre of the descendants of Emperor Wu, and was promoted step by step.
What's going on?
According to the "official statement" of Liang State, this is for revenge: Xiao Yan's father Xiao Shunzhi actually died of illness, but was killed by Emperor Wu of Qi Xiao Zi.
So at the beginning, Xiao Yan either really helped Xiao Ziliang seize the throne, or was determined to take revenge (to deal with the son of his enemy).
Later, Xiao Luan died and his son Xiao Baojuan ascended the throne. Xiao Yan raised an army to attack Xiao Baojuan, and then abolished the puppet emperor Xiao Baorong, and replaced him...
What is this saying?
This is destiny.
Zhang Ying analyzed the experience of Emperor Wu of Liang when he was young. He did not want to say how bad the conscience of Emperor Wu of Liang was, but let Li Li understand that this Bodhisattva Emperor who began to believe in Buddhism after middle age was really a master of youth.
Seize every opportunity, climb up step by step, and finally, follow the will of heaven and successfully reach the top.
The statement that "my father was harmed by Emperor Wu of Qi" is nothing more than to conceal his betrayal of Xiao Ziliang (the so-called son of his enemy).
The young Xiao Yan was moving forward every step at a critical moment without hesitation.
When Emperor Wu of Qi died, he saw that the palace lord Xiao Ziliang had the opportunity to reach the top, so he quickly urged him.
As a result, seeing that things were not good, they weighed the pros and cons and immediately turned against each other without hesitation.
He has voted for the new master and is willing to do dirty work for the front pawn.
So I gained the trust of the new master, which is not simple.
When another new king ascended the throne, Xiao Yan saw that this man was messing around and the country was not in trouble, so he quickly found a way to go out of town and raise troops to accumulate strength.
When the time comes, no matter what "the first emperor's kindness is met", he should raise an army, attack Jiankang, and depose the emperor.
At this point, you are not pretentious. If you should be meditated, you should be meditated, instead of being a "branch of the court" he is shy.
Anyway, in the end, Zhang Ying's purpose is to suggest that Li Li will follow suit.
Don’t worry about the “grace and affection of the late emperor” or the family affection of children.
When you learn from Xiao Yan, take this person as a model, you will rebel if you should, and you will be cruel if you should be cruel if you should be cruel.
"God-Emperor Gaozu was appointed as a Zen Liang when he was thirty-four and five years old. Now he is almost the same age!"
"At worst, I can eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name occasionally and pretend to behave."
Zhang Ying's voice echoed in his ears. When Li Li thought that if he was vegetarian and chanting Buddha's name in the future, he would be funny.
When I coughed, I swallowed the sticky rice cake.
Duan Yuying, who was sorting out books on the side, saw this and quickly brought tea: "Is it okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Li Li drank the water and pulled Duan Yuying to sit beside him.
Looking at the beauty who was still outstanding in appearance, Li Li was very satisfied, and then he thought of something.
It is said that after Xiao Yan attacked Jiankang, he fell in love with a concubine of Xiao Baojuan. Perhaps because the other party was too beautiful, Xiao Yan, who was so proud, couldn't help it and immediately stopped it.
Seven months later, the beauty had a next son, named Xiao Zong.
When Xiao Zong grew up, he believed that he was the posthumous son of Xiao Baojuan, the deposed emperor of the previous dynasty, so he defected to the State of Wei to avenge his father.
But Xiao Yan was still tolerant of this son and expressed his opinion that as long as his son came back, he would not blame him for the past.
Xiao Zong did not come back and died in Wei State. Xiao Yan ordered people to sneak into Wei State, bring back his son's remains, and buried him at his future tomb.
Li Li asked himself about this kind of fraternity and could not do it.
However, he was able to control his own **, and he did not impatiently take Duan Yuying away and did not take any risk: If Duan Yuying gets pregnant soon, who is it?
Therefore, he would not choose to compromise with the noble family and take on the mess.
But we cannot sit still and wait for death, and let our opponents carry out conspiracy as they please.
