Chapter 5: Working in collusion (more updates with monthly tickets)
Li Baiyu breathed a sigh of relief: "Three beloved ministers have been serving as officials in the same palace for many years. There is no need to quarrel. If you have anything to say, please talk it over. Peace is the most important thing in everything."
"Tong Aiqing, I think Liu Aiqing and Wei Aiqing are right. The governor of Fuzhou should be Qin Aiqing!"
Tong Sansi nodded helplessly: "Now that your Majesty has decided, I have nothing to say!"
Young Master Liu looked at Wei Yong's good looks, pretended to turn a blind eye, and talked about the old guy who has always been at the mercy of the wind.
"Qin Aiqin and Jia Aiqing will take up their posts in Beidi immediately after the spring."
"I obey the order!"
"My dear friends, is there anything else to say?"
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
Li Baiyu looked at Xia Gongming, now a veteran of the Four Dynasties: "Sir, it's accurate!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the harem cannot be without a master for a day!"
"I ask your Majesty to decide on the candidate for the queen as soon as possible, give birth to a dragon son, and decide on the position of the heir apparent as soon as possible."
"Sir, my father has already decided on the candidate for the queen for me. Once the period of repair is over, I will choose a date to marry the queen."
"Your Majesty has the record, so I can rest assured and retire!"
The rumor that Li Zheng intends to make Yun Xiaoxi, the young princess of the Yun family of Duke Jingguo, as the crown princess is no longer a secret in the capital.
Although I don't understand why Li Zheng has not finalized the matter for a long time, when I heard the prince said that he already had a candidate, he thought of Yun Xiaoxi.
They all looked at Lord Jing Yunyang.
As the auxiliary minister and the father of the future father-in-law of the country, Duke Yun Yang's position among the five auxiliary ministers can be said to be very important and should not be underestimated.
Yunyang's expression did not change, the old god was sitting there kneeling and dozing off, as if he had not heard this.
Liu Mingzhi retracted his gaze from Yunyang and said to himself, "Old fox among old foxes."
The days in the court will be interesting from now on, but also much more difficult.
Liu Mingzhi lowered his eyes silently, extremely curious in his heart how the old man and his aunt Liu Ying properly handled the matter of his cousin Yun Xiaoxi.
After all, Yun Xiaoxi was unwilling to accept Li Zheng's arranged marriage.
But it is not that easy to escape this marriage seamlessly.
Still not hearing from the old man and his aunt, Liu Mingzhi was not only curious but also a little nervous.
"My dear friends, if there is nothing more to do, please withdraw from the court!"
"The period of Xiu Mu is the same as when my father was in power!"
"I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty. Long live our Emperor!"
After Li Baiyu left, the civil and military officials began to disperse.
Jia Youwei and Qin Bin walked toward Young Master Liu with gratitude. After chatting for a while, they agreed on a time to drink and Liu Mingzhi walked out of the palace.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and my family is still waiting for me to have a reunion dinner.
Honest Li Yunlong looked hesitantly at his two brothers Li Baihong and the two brothers beside him: "Second brother, third brother, fifth brother, seventh brother!"
"It has become a fact that my eldest brother has ascended the throne and become emperor. The world has been decided. Just accept your fate. I don't want to participate in the next thing. I want to withdraw."
"I will promise to keep my mouth shut and never reveal a word."
The second brother, Li Baihong, and the third brother, Li Yunlong, looked at each other and looked at the fourth brother, Li Yunping, with squinted eyes: "Fourth brother, what do you mean by this?"
"At this point, you actually said you wanted to stop?"
Li Yunping nodded heavily: "The four princes and six generals have all rejected our invitation. The meaning is very clear. It is not too late to rein in the situation!"
"My eldest brother is not my father. If we fail, don't you understand what will happen to us?"
"Brothers, stop it. It's better to be a happy prince who enjoys wealth forever than to become a soul killed by the sword!"
Li Baihong stared at Li Yunping closely: "Fourth brother, do you think there is still a chance to stop in the current situation? At this point, we are all grasshoppers on a rope. You said you want to quit?"
"Do you think the brothers can believe what you say? Do you dare to believe what you say? It's a matter of the head, and no one dares to be careless!"
Li Yunlong nodded in agreement: "Fourth brother, second brother is right. Once you take this step, there is no possibility of turning back. So what about General Liu Wei. They have to guard the border and the possibility of entering the capital is very slim."
"Third brother, don't forget that the tiger talisman of the 300,000-horse cavalry has been passed on to the eldest brother. In addition, with the addition of 100,000 elite guards, it is impossible to kill the head just by relying on the men and horses in our domain.
No chance of winning!"
"We all have families, careers, and children. I don't want my children and wife to be implicated."
"Besides, who can guarantee that the Six Guards Army will not enter the capital? Even if you are 100% sure, what will happen to the 300,000 new army cavalry?"
The seventh child, Li Zhi, gently patted Li Yunping on the shoulder: "Fourth brother, when you got involved, you had no chance to regret it."
"You quit. You said you would shut up. Who knows if you would turn around and sell your brothers."
"Fourth brother, no one can turn back after reaching this point. Winner or loser, there is nothing to hesitate!"
"When the time comes, all of us brothers may be able to sit on that chair. Are you really not interested at all?"
Li Baihong also put his hand on Li Yunping's shoulder: "Yes, fourth brother, besides, second brother, your third brother, fifth brother, and seventh brother have called you, so naturally we have the confidence and chance of winning."
Li Yunlong suddenly touched his second brother Li Baihong with his arm: "Second brother, brother-in-law is out!"
Li Baihong immediately remained silent and looked at Young Master Liu who was slowly walking towards the palace gate with a smile on his face.
"Brother-in-law, come out!"
Liu Mingzhi was stunned for a moment, and looked at the gathering of Li Baihong and others with smiles on their faces.
"Two brothers, three brothers, why haven't you returned home yet? Why are you gathering on the school grounds?"
"I visited my brother-in-law a few days ago. My brother-in-law is busy and can't spare any time. Now that my father's national mourning has passed, why don't we go to Tianxiang Pavilion and sit together?"
"It's bitterly cold in the north, but there are few beauties as beautiful as Tianxianglou."
Liu Mingzhi glanced at the five brothers indifferently, but he didn't expect that the five of them were still planning to win over him.
The key is that apart from power, you have neither soldiers nor horses, so what's the use of trying to win over yourself?
I can't blow you to that chair with my mouth.
However, a few people are obviously waiting for me. I'm afraid I won't be able to escape. I can only go there once. Then I can deal with it vaguely.
"Prince-in-law, please wait a moment!"
"Oh, some princes are here too, let's salute them."
Several people looked at Qian Lu, the personal eunuch beside Nangong Meng, and felt a vague premonition of something bad.
As expected, Qian Lu saluted a few people and looked at Young Master Liu happily: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother knows that today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and your Majesty must not have had time to have a reunion dinner because of court affairs, so let us
Come to summon the consort to have a meal in the harem!"
"The Queen Mother and Princess Anping are waiting for you!"
Liu Mingzhi was overjoyed. This charming mother-in-law came to Song Jiang at the right time. Thinking about it carefully, this was the second time he had solved his troubles.
He looked at the Li Baihong brothers with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Brothers, my mother has already made arrangements. It would be rude and unjust for me not to go."
"I'm sorry for the banquet, brothers. I'll be your host tomorrow, tomorrow, and let's have a good time drinking and talking."
Li Bohong and the others cast a vague glance in the direction of the harem and nodded slightly helplessly: "Since the Queen Mother has summoned us, we brothers naturally dare not disagree."
"Brother-in-law, goodbye!"
"Goodbye!"
"Manager Qian, let's go first!"
"Prince-in-law, please come this way!"
"Please!"
"My mother and I have worked so hard for my eldest daughter!"
"What can I do? I used to be the master of the harem and now I am the queen mother!"
"Let's go!"
Li Yunlong hesitated for a moment, but was still carried by Li Zhi's shoulders and walked out of the palace.
Liu Mingzhi secretly looked back at the brothers in the background and shook his head helplessly.
They are working together, the situation is unpredictable!
