61, why insist?
In the palace, Li Jian said to the female official in front of him: "Li Jian, the chief commander of the doctor, wanted to see the queen mother."
The female official entered the Empress Dowager's bedroom and returned after a while: "Tong Li, the Empress Dowager said, you are a minister, you only need to follow the will of the monarch, and you don't have to meet."
Li Jian left silently when he heard this.
Back at Congtai, Li Jian said to King Zhao: "Master, I still hope to marry the Lin girl. I wonder if the king can think about the merits I have made for the Great Zhao, and advise the Empress Dowager to take back his life?"
King Zhao, who was carrying his pen to do his homework, paused slightly.
Soon, King Zhao answered.
"Seventh sister will be a good lady in the future. I also hope that a great husband like you will take care of Seventh sister."
"Let's do this, I know you're in a bad mood. You'll take a long vacation this afternoon and then enter the palace to work again tomorrow."
Li Jian did not hesitate at all, and then saluted King Zhao and left quickly.
King Zhao looked at Li Jian, shook his head and sighed softly.
"Okay, let you go and give up completely."
Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng Mansion, at the gate.
A manager came out and said to Li Jian very politely: "Doctor Li, my lord is sick today and I really can't see guests. Please ask the doctor to turn around first and make a new appointment in the next day."
Mao Sui stood behind Li Jian and couldn't help but speak after hearing this: "Brother Wei, can't you think of a solution?"
Manager Wei glanced at Mao Sui and sighed: "Brother Mao, Wei is just a small manager. He really can't speak for such a big thing, so please forgive me."
Li Jian nodded slightly and said, "I understand, let's go."
Mao Sui followed Li Jian, feeling really depressed and couldn't help but complain.
"Pingyuan Jun is obviously optimistic about the doctor, why did he..."
Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao Mansion, the gate.
A burly guard walked out and said respectfully: "My husband drank too much yesterday and caused a headache. He was unable to see guests today. Doctor Li asked him to go back."
Li Jian nodded: "I understand, let's go."
Mao Sui touched his chin and felt a little sad: "Pingyuan Jun and Pingyang Jun are brothers. It seems that they have reached a unified position in this matter and are not planning to help the doctor."
If these two great figures of the Zhao royal family were willing to help each other, they would be much more sure of persuading the empress dowager to take back her fate.
Li Jian continued to visit the residences of other Zhao Kingdoms Shang, Zhong and Xiaqing.
Various reasons were repeated by the concierge, guards, and managers again and again, and the result was completely consistent.
No Zhao's noble is willing to meet Li Jian.
On this day, there were actually many eyes staring at Li Jian's every move in secret.
These ears and ears also promptly sent the news back to the ears of the big guys behind them.
In the palace, Zhu Xian reported to the Empress Dowager, and Zhao and his son: "No noble is willing to meet Li Jian."
The mother and son both showed a satisfied expression on their faces.
The Empress Dowager said to King Zhao: "Master, Li Jian is young and energetic. Although he is a talent for the Great Zhao, he still needs to be honed."
"You see, today is an example. He obviously arranged such a good marriage for him, but he wanted to refuse. This is because his temper is too stubborn and he must be polished well!"
King Zhao nodded and suddenly said with some concern: "If he is forced, will he run away in anger and join other countries?"
The Empress Dowager laughed: "Lian Po made many military achievements back then, and he was proud of his contributions in the country. Even your father didn't want to hear what you said. So your father promoted Lin Xiangru and let Lin Xiangru be above Lian Po during the court discussion."
"Liang Po was indeed angry and had a conflict with Lin Xiangru, but was dealt with by Lin Xiangru and had to apologize for his crime."
"This is the tempering of your father on Lian Po."
"From then on, Lian Po obediently obediently obeyed your father's orders, and he would not even dare to say anything against him."
"Li Jian, no matter how talented he is, he is just the next Lian Po."
King Zhao nodded repeatedly, quite admired: "So the person whom my mother used to sharpen Li Jian before was Du Pingjun Tian Dan?"
The empress dowager snorted and said, "That's not. It's just that Tian Dan is famous, but it's useless. Even Li Jian can't be beaten, and the old woman has to take action himself!"
King Zhao was convinced and said, "The Queen Mother's move is indeed like the father who dealt with Lian Po back then. She will definitely be able to deal with Li Jian properly."
Listening to King Zhao's compliments, the empress dowager's smile couldn't help but become even more intense.
Pingyuan Jun, who was drinking with Pingyang Jun in the mansion, shook his head and said, "Li Jian, after all, he is still too young and too arrogant."
Pingyang Jun asked, "Brother Yu remembered that his brother was very optimistic about him before, why did he avoid him this time?"
Pingyuan Jun laughed: "It's optimistic about him, that's optimistic about his future potential. As for now... between the Queen Mother and Li Jian, how could this marquis choose to help Li Jian disobey the common will of the Queen Mother and the King?"
After hearing the news, Lin Xiangru's face seemed to grow older.
The Zhao Guoshangqing looked up at Lian Po beside him and said, "I said that Li Jian has no chance of winning in this matter."
Lian Po snorted and said, "That's because you don't know Li Jian enough."
Lin Xiangru couldn't help but feel a little funny: "Do you know him very well?"
Lian Po smiled: "That's natural."
Lin Xiangru said: "Then tell me, in this situation, why did Li Jian turn the tables?"
Lian Po spread his hands and said, "I don't understand. But I know that Li Jian is a person who likes to win unexpectedly. This is true whether it is in war chess or military exercises."
"This time, Li Jian will definitely come up with a clever trick to catch you guys off guard and completely save the situation!"
Lin Xiangru stared at Lian Po for a while and laughed: "I really hope that things can be as good as you, a reckless man, think."
Lian Po spat and said, "I just don't like to bring the twists and turns on the battlefield to the political arena, because politics is not a life-and-death battle! Forget it, I can't explain it to you, just wait and see."
Li Jian stood in front of the gate of the last Zhao State Xiaqing Mansion, and still received extremely politeness and a very firm rejection.
Mao Sui was surprised and angry: "Are these people so unwilling to give face to the doctor? If the doctor is in charge of power in the future, the ministers will depend on how they deal with themselves!"
What surprised Mao Sui was that Li Jian's expression still looked calm enough.
Perhaps this is just the calm before the volcano erupts.
Mao Sui said to Li Jian carefully: "Doctor, should we... go home?"
Li Jian nodded and said, "Yes, let's go."
The wheels of the carriage were squeaking on the street. It was already dusk, and the dim sunlight shone from the horizon, making the atmosphere even more bleak.
Mao Sui couldn't help but speak, "The doctor is still young, and it's okay to have a temporary setback. After growing up in the future, you can be happy to be revenge and repay everything today."
Mao Sui, who was born as a Ranger, had obvious ideas that were loyal to the world.
The carriage drove back to Li's mansion, and Li Jian walked off the carriage and saw the three mother and sister who had been waiting for a long time.
"How is it? Are there anyone willing to help us?" Chen spoke with hope.
Li Jian shook his head: "No one is there."
This news made the three mother-sister duo stunned.
Aunt Liu was angry: "It's okay for everyone else. There are several families with our Li family who have a very good relationship. Why are they not willing to help us?"
After all, Chen was the wife, so he quickly returned to his calmness and sighed: "It seems that things are irreversible now. Forget it, Jian'er, let's not fight anymore, okay? If you marry that princess well, we will take care of her, and we will definitely not affect her mood and your future."
The aunt and sister nodded repeatedly.
Li Jian looked at the three mother-sister trio in front of him, and his emotions that were originally quiet and stagnant gradually began to surge.
Being a human being in three lifetimes should be mature.
From the perspective of a mature man, marrying the Seventh Princess is more beneficial to Li Jian's political future than marrying Lin Rou.
Throughout history, many great figures have made their fortunes through political marriages.
Heshen, Gao Huan, Chang Gong, the leader of the transportation brigade, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, all used the power of his wife's family to successfully take the first step in his career.
Why is Li Jian so noble?
Isn’t everyone happy to accept this political marriage?
At this moment, standing in front of the three closest relatives in his life, Li Jian finally figured it out.
Because - he doesn't like being arranged by others in his own destiny.
He was a human being in his three lives. He worked hard to study and entered a large company in the first life, but encountered a midlife crisis and fired his boss and was arranged properly.
In the second life, he traveled through Zhao State and wanted to be a wise minister like Zhuge Liang who has been remembered forever and was dedicated to assisting King Zhao, and he compromised all kinds of things, but he was arranged randomly by King Zhao on major matters, resulting in death and destruction of the country.
Li Jian is tired of this kind of life arranged by others, and he no longer wants to be a chess piece that can be used to knead and merge on it at will.
He wanted to be a powerful minister, to seize the throne and unify the world, and to completely control his own destiny.
No one can continue to arrange Li Jian, no one can do it!
Li Jian took a deep breath and spoke to the three mother and sister in front of him: "Mom, go back and rest first with your aunt and sister. The child also wants to see someone."
Chen was obviously stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but say, "Who?"
Li Jian said: "Du Pingjun, Tian Dan."
