Kuaichuan loves you for a lifetime

Chapter 109 The Contest Between Parents

At the beginning, Taizu thought about changing one of them into the residence of Duke Huguo, but although Li Ye is a military general, he is not a simple-minded person because he can secure the position of commander and has always won the trust of Taizu. The reckless man declined Taizu's kindness and chose a second-class mansion, which is now the mansion of General Zhen Guo.

Li Ye's move touched Taizu very much. People around him were trying their best to seek benefits for him through the emperor. Only his in-laws, the Duke of the Protectorate, in order to share the emperor's worries, could even push back the benefits he got. Going out, comparing the two, can you improve your affection for Duke Huguo?

Afterwards, the people of the Li family who protect the country also put their minds on studying martial arts and the art of war. They are not very keen on material comforts. But generally it is not too wasteful and extravagant. The mansion where they live has only been expanded several times due to the expansion of the population, and the area has not yet reached the specifications of the Duke's mansion.

Later, the men of the Li family died in constant battles, especially Di Zhi was severely damaged. It can be said that the offspring withered. Seeing the empty courtyard in the mansion, the family had no idea of ​​expanding.

The situation of General Zhen Guo's Mansion is not a secret in the eyes of those who are interested. Logically speaking, the behavior that does not conform to the rules of etiquette, under the shadow of the long-standing reputation of General Zhen Guo's Mansion, has become the Li family serving the country and the people, serving the country wholeheartedly. A vivid example of this, and no one made a fuss about it without winking.

Therefore, when Si Xiu was walking, he marveled in his heart that the mansion of General Zhen Guo lived up to its reputation, and when the mansion was big and in poor condition, he didn't know that it was just an unfinished product.

But even if Si Xiu knew about this situation, he wouldn't have any other thoughts in his mind. After a short distance, Si Xiu was overwhelmed by the patrolling guards, working boys and maidservants along the way. Finally, I have an intuitive understanding of aristocratic life.

Si Xiu didn't observe for long, because Li Jingrong called the housekeeper to arrange Si Xiu in the outer courtyard before taking the four surviving guards to meet his father, who is the current Duke of the Kingdom and the head of the Li family.

After seeing off the butler in the room arranged by Si Xiu, he slowly sat down in the room and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although there were a lot of guards and servants along the way just now, basically the movement and movement were very small, and there was no chatting or laughing at all. At a glance, you can see that the Li family manages the family well, and there is a shadow of military training in it. This kind of quiet and solemn The atmosphere also affected Si Xiu's words and deeds very well, he didn't even dare to breathe loudly, for fear that his rash actions would disturb something.

Now that Si Xiu was finally able to be alone, he felt so excited that he couldn't wait to relax.

While Si Xiu was relaxing and enjoying himself, the atmosphere in Li's study was condensed.

Li Jingrong's father, Li Sui, the current protector of the country, listened to his always proud eldest son tell him about his experiences along the way with a serious face.

It's not that he doesn't have a fatherly heart, it's just that when Li Jingrong took the order to go, Li Sui had already expected that the road would be full of twists and turns and full of dangers, and the fatherly heart in his heart hadn't hesitated about this matter.

In his heart, no matter how famous Li Jingrong is outside the world or how high his official position is, he is still a child. What's more, Li Jingrong is only 22 years old this year, and he has just married his wife for two years. His eldest grandson lost his father when he was born.

But, who made the Li family always be a natural "royalist", the family has always been firmly behind the person sitting on the throne, no matter how they win over the open and secret fights between the princes, they will not be moved, never Participation, although a group of people will definitely be offended in the process, but the person who can ascend to the throne in the end will only have more trust in the Li family. Decline, inheritance is endless.

However, it is not without disadvantages if the emperor trusts you too much. Although you will not easily doubt you because of some trivial matters, you can assign the most difficult tasks to you, so that you can truly practice the true meaning of the idiom "born to die".

Li Jingrong went south because the current situation in the court was already in dire straits, and the emperor had decided to take action to clean up the mess.

The current emperor, Zheng Yuanwei, is the fifth emperor of the Zheng Dynasty. He succeeded at the age of 33. He has been in power for 30 years now. At the age of 63, in this era of low productivity, he is undoubtedly an old man, and he should take care of him when he arrives. The age of the day.

In fact, five years ago, the emperor began to suffer from illnesses. It stands to reason that the heir should be determined early to ensure the continuation of the country, but how can the ruler who is used to promises be so willing to delegate power, even if it is a son Not to mention, what's more, the emperor, as the lord of a country, how can he be a man who lacks a son?
At present, there are many harems, and there are more than a dozen concubines who can be counted as names, and there are only more anonymous ones. Today, the body has been treated by the group of people with the highest medical skills in the country for many years, so it is very old and strong, with more than 20 children. people.

After removing those princes and daughters who died young and who were out of order, there were seventeen children who grew up smoothly, including eight princes and nine princesses.

The reason why there are so few princes is that other people left early because of open and secret fighting in the palace and the lack of protection from those around them. In this palace, both the mother and the son are valued.

Although the royal family has always looked after their children, it is impossible for the emperor to pay attention to everyone. The women in the harem have stepped into a cruel battlefield since entering the palace.

No matter how innocent and kind-hearted the little girl who just entered the palace is, she will quickly grow and mature after entering the palace, and become ruthless, because innocent and simple people cannot survive here, and I don’t know when it came. Open guns and hidden arrows can kill people.

All of this is because although there are many women here, there is only one emperor who they share together. In order to improve their harem life and the glory of the family, everyone can only use various means to arouse the emperor's attention. Notice.

And because most of the women who can enter the palace after many tests are both beautiful and intelligent, so although the struggle between them is quiet, the place where they fight is more vicious.

As the controller of the harem in the actual sense, would the emperor not understand the truth of this?He must know it in his heart, but he doesn't care at all in his heart. As an emperor with a big heart, how can he care about every little thing in the harem?Therefore, although I usually pay attention to the subtle relationship between the front court and the harem, and comfort some people from time to time, most of the time, I follow my own heart on the issue of the harem.

Sometimes, the truth of the matter is not important, but the thoughts of the superior are important.

Are those unjust, false and wrongly decided cases among the people because the judges all have elm heads, and their eyes are blurred to see the truth?There are no such incompetent people, but more people just consider the interpersonal relationship behind the person involved and choose the one that is most beneficial to them.

The same is true for the harem. The emperor may know the truth, but he can choose to favor the one he likes more arbitrarily, until another person he likes more appears.

Today, due to the early death of his first wife Yuan Empress, the position of queen has been vacant, and the presence of Concubine Zhang, Concubine Li Shu, Concubine Ji Xian, Concubine Chen Zhen, Ding Meiren and others in the harem is still a little stronger.
