"this……"
Yun Li opened his mouth slightly and remained silent for a long time.
He knew that what Emperor Wen said made sense.
The aristocratic families and clans do not care who becomes the emperor; they only care about their own interests.
Yun Zheng now has a strong army and horses. Once Yun Zheng rebels, many families and clans will probably turn to Yun Zheng.
Some ambitious families and clans may even rise up in rebellion.
One Yun Zheng is already extremely difficult to deal with.
If their backyard catches fire again, the imperial court may really not have the ability to resist at all.
Yun Li pondered silently for a long time, then he made up his mind and said through gritted teeth, "I will listen to you, father! When I return to the imperial city, I will do my best to weaken the powerful families and clans!"
That’s it!
...
...
If you don't target the powerful families and clans, where will your money come from?
That’s four million taels of silver!
Some of the silver collected from the aristocratic families and clans could be put into his own pocket to make up for his losses.
Some of it can be put into the national treasury to prepare the army to guard against Lao Liu!
"That's right!"
Emperor Wen nodded with relief, "After returning to the court, no matter whether I can get better or not, I will order you to be the regent! You can act boldly without any worries! The court can't deal with the rebellious son of the Sixth Elder, but it is not afraid of those powerful families and clans!"
Regent?
Yun Li looked at Emperor Wen in astonishment, hardly able to believe his ears.
"Father, this...is not good, right?"
Yun Li was overjoyed in his heart, but his face showed embarrassment.
"There's nothing wrong with that! Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures!"
Emperor Wen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Go ahead and do it. I will do my best to help you stabilize Lao Liu. Delay it for one day, and try not to let him cause trouble for you when you attack the aristocratic families and clans..."
"Thank you, Father!"
Yun Li was filled with gratitude and bowed respectfully to Emperor Wen.
"Stop talking about that!"
Emperor Wen gently patted Yun Li's hand and said, "Tomorrow when Lao Liu and the others come to pay their respects to me, I will order him to organize a martial arts performance. Later, you should also send someone to inform Zhou Daogong and ask him to prepare well..."
Yun Li's face changed, and he immediately became panicked. "Father, are you planning to take down Old Six during the martial arts performance?"
Why hasn't he given up the idea of taking down Lao Liu?
Nowadays, the defense of the Sifang County is under the charge of Lao Liu’s men!
Not to mention that my father has no chance to capture the sixth prince. Even if he has the chance, what will he do after he captures him?
Those three thousand heavily armored cavalrymen are no pushovers!
Moreover, there are 5,000 elite cavalrymen from Beihuan who are escorting the bride!
"Use your brain! Use your brain!"
Emperor Wen glared at Yun Li unhappily, "Does the martial arts performance really require us to defeat Lao Liu? Can't it have some other uses?"
Emperor Wen was extremely disappointed.
Can't he think of something else besides taking down Lao Liu?
How could I give birth to such a fool?
Listening to Emperor Wen's words, Yun Li began to think quickly.
After a moment, Yun Li suddenly realized, "Father, do you want to test the combat capability of this man under Old Six?"
"This is just one aspect!" Emperor Wen nodded, "Keep thinking!"
Anything else?
Yun Li lowered his brows and continued to think.
However, after thinking about it, Yun Li couldn't think of any other purpose.
Emperor Wen was disappointed and reminded: "I will order Zhao Ji to lead his troops to participate in the military exercise!"
Zhao Ji?
Yun Li looked up suddenly.
After thinking for a while, Yun Li finally realized something and said admiringly, "Father wants to transfer Zhao Ji and the others out for a legitimate reason, so as to completely stop Old Six from continuing to take advantage of the situation?"
"Well, you're not that stupid."
Emperor Wen glanced at Yun Li and said, "One more thing. The 10,000 soldiers are now surrounded by Lao Liu's men. We need to find a reason to transfer Zhao Ji's 10,000 soldiers to prevent them from being eaten by Lao Liu, the rebellious son!"
Is that so?
Yun Li suddenly realized and looked at Emperor Wen with admiration.
My father is indeed a man of foresight!
Even thought of this!
"Your Majesty, you are very far-sighted. I admire you very much!"
Yun Li said sincerely.
He is not flattering, he really admires her.
Just one thing has so many purposes.
"Old Third, you are still too young..."
Emperor Wen sighed softly, "On this point, you should learn from Lao Liu! If Lao Liu was just strong in military power, I would not be afraid of him at all! The most terrifying thing about this rebellious son is his brain. He often takes one step and thinks many steps ahead! He has been in Bi Bo Courtyard for more than 20 years. I guess he has been thinking about these things all day long..."
Yun Li agreed with this point.
No one knew better than him how insidious Lao Liu was.
This bastard used to pretend to be a coward in Bi Bo Courtyard. He must have been thinking about how to trick people all day long!
Otherwise, how could this bastard be so insidious?
"Father is right!"
Yun Li felt ashamed, "I will definitely use my brain more in the future and plan before I act!"
“I hope you can do it!”
Emperor Wen sighed, "Alright, go and do your thing, I also need to rest..."
"Then your Majesty, have a good rest. I will take my leave first!"
Yun Li stood up, bowed respectfully and took his leave.
After Yun Li left, Emperor Wen immediately sat up from the bed and rubbed his head with a headache.
It's not a good idea to pretend to be sick all day long!
If you pretend for too long, you will most likely be exposed.
Besides, lying in bed pretending to be sick all day is really uncomfortable.
We have to find a way to make this thing round!
well!
I was not thoughtful enough!
I just wanted to make the scene more realistic, but I didn't think about how it would end.
I was careless!
Now, the headache has fallen on my head!
How about asking the rebellious son Lao Liu to help think of a solution?
Yes, yes!
I did all this just to cooperate with him!
Let him figure it out!
You won’t have a headache anymore!
Thinking of this, Emperor Wen suddenly felt enlightened and a smile appeared on his face.
The next morning, Yun Zheng and Jia Yao came to pay their respects to Emperor Wen.
Emperor Wen's mental state was still not good and he looked listless.
After Yun Zheng and Jia Yao paid their respects to Emperor Wen, Emperor Wen said weakly, "Jia Yao, please go out first! I have something to talk to Lao Liu alone."
"yes."
Jia Yao retreated respectfully.
After Jia Yao left, Emperor Wen immediately sat up.
The sickly look disappeared in an instant.
At the same time, Emperor Wen waved at Yun Zheng, motioning him to come closer.
Yun Zheng stepped forward and said with a smile: "Father, you are so pretending..."
Bang!
Emperor Wen suddenly looked up and slapped Yun Zheng on the head.
Although Emperor Wen's slap was not heavy, it still made Yun Zheng a little dazed.
Facing Yun Zheng's aggrieved look, Emperor Wen reprimanded him angrily: "You asked for four million taels of silver right away. Do you want to force your third brother to death? You really treat your third brother as a money bag, don't you?"
"Didn't you, father, ask me to go find my third brother?" Yun Zheng felt aggrieved.
"I……"
Emperor Wen was choked and raised his hand again.
"Father, please calm down..."
Yun Zheng grabbed Emperor Wen's hand with a playful smile, "Don't hurt your hand."
"I really want to beat you to death, you rebellious son!"
Emperor Wen glared at Yun Zheng unhappily, "Do you know that your third brother was so angry at you that he vomited blood?"
"ah?"
Yun Zheng looked stunned.
The third brother is vomiting blood?
no……
The third brother’s ability to withstand pressure is not good!
It’s just four million taels of silver.
For most people, this is definitely an astronomical figure that they dare not even dream of.
But for a prince like him, it shouldn't be that difficult to get four million taels of silver, right?
After all, he has Zhang Xu, the God of Wealth, to help him make money!
