Chapter 576
Zhao Bing assassinated Huang Cheng in order to get rid of an ambitious man and a potential enemy that threatened him. However, in order to stabilize Li Dong, he had to transfer his power to the Li family who was close to the court. ΔΩ pen Quge But this seemingly perfect plan is also in danger. After fully controlling Li Dong in Qiongzhou, Li's strength will increase greatly. Who can guarantee that after he is full of wings, he will not have the intention to rebel? The implementation of this plan is actually equivalent to eliminating an enemy and building a new enemy with his own hands.
Of course, this is just a possibility, and it is also a temporary solution for the current situation. Zhao Bing knew that only when the court was strong enough that no one dared to challenge it and that good governance could benefit the people of Li, the conflict between Li and Han on the island would be quelled. However, these two goals seemed to be in a long way in the current situation where local officials were in charge of Li Dong, so he could not relax his vigilance and dared not fully believe that Li was always loyal to the court, which led to him having to keep his hands at any time, so that he could not concentrate all his strength against the Mongolians.
"I did not avoid you when talking about the matter of Daning Village. You should also understand the causes and consequences of the matter. How can I gain the loyalty of the Li family of Daning Village so that it will not betray me within ten years!" After Zhao Bing said that, he picked up the bowl and pulled the food into his mouth, and looked at Su Lan secretly. He frowned and thought, and laughed in his heart that this girl really took his words seriously.
"Good marriage!"
'Well……'
‘Cough cough…’ Zhao Bing was shocked after hearing Su Lan’s words and was almost choked to death by the food in his mouth, causing a severe cough.
"Official family, drink some water!" Su Lan was also startled, rubbing her chest and back, and waited for His Majesty to calm down, and then brought a cup of tea and said with concern.
"What do you mean to win the loyalty of Li through the marriage between Li Han?" Zhao Bing waved his hand and did not take the tea cup, but asked. His question just now was just asking for nothing to say, so he didn't expect her to give a solution. In addition, he also wanted to give Su Xin an excuse. After all, how could he change his words easily? Unexpectedly, Su Lan gave his own answer, which scared him a lot.
"Yes, no, what I mean is to achieve a long-term intimate relationship through the marriage between the royal family and Daning Village." Su Lan explained.
"Haha, don't forget that Daning Village is in power, and Li's family is already married, how can they marry the royal family again?" Zhao Bing smiled and shook his head, saying that his method was simply ineffective.
"What's wrong? Since Daning Village is in power and Li is married, her family always has a daughter. The royal family can choose a royal family from among them!" Su Lan did not give up, but instead gave a plan.
"That's even more impossible!" Zhao Bing waved his hand again.
"What's wrong with the official family? If the royal family and the liying are married, they become a family, so how can they become enemies with their families? I see that the Pu family is married to court officials and wealthy merchants through their children's marriage, and strengthen their own power, so that they can fight against the court in Quanzhou City." Su Lan did not give up and continued to defend herself.
"Haha, you have to know that I am the only one left in the lineage of the late emperor. The royal family was either captured, scattered, or died at the hands of Tartars and traitors. I have searched all over Quanzhou City, but I have not found a clan relative. I am a real lonely person, so how can I marry them!" Zhao Bing said with a wry smile.
"This...then the official family can also marry his family!" Su Lan hesitated for a long time and muttered in a low voice.
"Bold, you dare to say such words!" Zhao Bing said furiously. He hated this kind of political marriage the most, let alone in this situation, he was still young!
"The official family, I am in a hurry and say nothing, damn it!" Su Lan hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.
"You...you, you can promise me to the lie people in order to save a friend. If all my aunts and sisters come to you, you will not be able to divide me into several pieces and give it to others!" Zhao Bing pointed at Su Lan and said in a furious manner.
‘Puff!’
"You dare to laugh, believe it or not, I will give you a slang first..." Zhao Bing's words amused Su Lan, and her smile made him unable to hold back and laughed.
"If the chaos can be calmed down, I am willing to go!" Su Lan politely said. At this moment, she also breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the little emperor was not angry with her, and had escaped this disaster.
"Oh, take this down, I can't eat it anymore!" Zhao Bing looked at the food on the table and lost his appetite, so he stood up and said.
"Official family, how should Su Xin deal with it?" Su Lan asked afterwards.
"Hmph, you two will be with you in the future, but when I summon my ministers from now on, she will not be with you anymore." Zhao Bing snorted coldly.
"I thank Your Majesty!" Su Lan kowtowed again.
"Okay, I'm going to take a nap!" Zhao Bing raised his hand and said, and Su Lan immediately stood up to greet Su Xin, who was avoiding the palace, who was waiting for His Majesty to wash and change his clothes...
The marriage became a joke between the master and the servant, and no one mentioned it again, but after this, the relationship between the two changed subtly and seemed to be much closer. Su Lan and Su Xin served Your Majesty more carefully, and Zhao Bing also had a partner who could talk to him. Of course, it did not involve the private relationship between his children, but only made his life colorful, and he did not want to be as dull as before.
As Zhao Bing expected, Huang Cheng had fallen into chaos after his death. For power and wealth, the brothers had turned against each other. Jiang Ke led his troops to control the city in the name of passing the imperial edict. Then he ordered the Li family to come and ordered him to take charge of Lidong under the jurisdiction of Daning Village. After the Huang family chose a suitable candidate, he would then be granted the imperial title. However, the defense of the Daning Village was taken over by the official army, and re-controlled the throat and defended the pass.
With the support of the court, Li regained his power and knew that he would return it. He agreed to go to the Jiyang army to lobby the rebellious Lidong and ask them to stop their troops and surrender. However, he also put forward his own conditions. If he could quell the rebellion for the court, he hoped that the court would grant his daughter the imperial decree so that he could inherit his power in the future. She guaranteed that Lidong would accept the court's levy of corvee and pay taxes.
