Chapter 113 Father-in-law comes out of seclusion to kill all evil spirits and monsters. Ying Wuji's backer arrives
"Have you ever thought about... the three families dividing the country?"
Three families divide Li!
After these four words were uttered, the whole room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Then the breathing sounds gradually became louder, as if there were two hungry wolves seeing their prey.
Although the royal family of Li State is now surnamed Zhao, Li State is by no means a one-man show of power by the Zhao family. Although the power of Wei and Han families is not as strong as that of the Zhao family, their strength is definitely on the same level.
The Zhao family has an army, and so do the Wei and Han families, and it is still unknown which one is stronger.
The Zhao family had a king, but among the three dukes and nine ministers, the Wei and Han families also accounted for half.
Apart from being subjects of the King of Li in the imperial court, the Wei and Han families actually had extremely high autonomy over their own fiefdoms, and every generation of family heads dreamed of breaking away from the shell of the State of Li and establishing their own country.
But no!
Because the majesty of the Zhou royal family still existed, although politically the Zhou royal family was no longer able to interfere in the internal affairs of various countries, it still retained the authority of sacrificial rituals.
If you want to establish a country, you must find a reasonable and legal reason and obtain the consent of the Zhou royal family.
Otherwise, you will be the initiator of the collapse of rituals and music, and any vassal state can attack you from the moral high ground.
Haven’t you seen the Qi State in the east? The Tian family has marginalized the Jiang family, but they are still too timid to usurp the throne and become king?
But now it's different.
King Li had a big problem, and Zhao Qi had a close relationship with the Zhou royal family.
If they could help the Zhou royal family swallow up the fat piece of meat of the Zhao family, they would definitely find an opportunity to give the Wei and Han families a legitimate title.
Dividing Li among three families is not an impossible task.
This was something that the successive heads of the Wei and Han families could only dream of but could never achieve, yet the two of them unexpectedly found the opportunity.
As long as we are sure that King Li will not live long, we can start planning immediately.
As for the death of Wei Teng in your family, the death of Han Xie in my family, or Ying Wuji marrying the princess soon...
Is there any point in worrying about these things?
The life span of King Li is the issue that should be paid most attention to.
Zhao Qi slowly stood up and said, "Would you two like to go with me?"
After a moment.
Three figures left Zuixian Tower, got on the same carriage in the dark, and headed towards Feiqi Palace.
…
Feiqi Palace.
“This is outrageous!”
Zhao Ning's eyes were cold. Although she had received Han Xie's confession, such a small letter could not extinguish the anger in her heart.
Although the State of Li was in chaos in the past, no one dared to make things too ugly on the surface.
As a result, the grand event of Hundreds of Schools is just around the corner!
In order to weaken the strength of the other families, the Han family deliberately provoked conflicts between the Wei family and the Xiangfu, and even ignored the diplomatic relations with Ganli.
Seeing that Luo Yan was old, the Wei family deliberately allowed Wei Teng to do whatever he wanted in order to swallow up the power of the prime minister's mansion.
These people have long lost the concept of "country" in their hearts.
They have long forgotten the principle that when one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer.
Today, she gained new insights into the ruin of the State of Li.
"Fortunately, it's over for now!"
Zhao Ning glanced at Han Xie's confession and breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt a lingering fear.
If Ji Su hadn't done that trick this time, things would probably have come to a deadlock.
After all, Ying Wuji really wanted to kill Wei Teng. Even though Luo Yan and Gongsun Di seemed to be occupying the moral high ground today, it was only because Ji Su was sharing the firepower.
Wei Teng's murder this time has a huge impact on the Wei family. If no explanation is given, there will be problems both internally and externally.
Therefore, if Ji Su did not appear, no matter how legitimate the reasons for Ying Wuji's killing were, he would not be able to get away with it.
But now, Ji Su took half the blame, and Han Xie took half the blame. Although Ji Su's actions were strange, who would care? All they wanted was a result, and the process was not important at all.
Brother Ying!
You can be my brother-in-law again!
Li Caimei also breathed a sigh of relief: "Then congratulations, Your Highness. I will go back and rest first!"
Zhao Ning nodded gently: "Thank you very much this time!"
"No way!"
Li Caimei shook her head and smiled, but all she could think about was the string of candied haws she saw at Feiyuwei last night.
The string of candied haws was wrapped in glutinous rice paper and should have been well preserved, but it was cut in half by a knife and was stained with blood.
Whenever she thought of it, she felt a little tight in her chest, as if she saw Ying Wuji's miserable appearance when he was besieged.
However, it seemed that everything he did was because of a woman named Hua Chao.
"well……"
She sighed softly, but then felt that she shouldn't sigh, after all, it had nothing to do with her.
After Li Caimei left.
Zhao Ning sat in the Chongli Palace for a long time, and from time to time he looked up at the place where Zhao Ji was in seclusion.
After being the regent for so long, this was the first time she felt so powerless.
In the past, when the Kingdom of Li was seemingly peaceful, she was able to handle even the most difficult political affairs in an orderly manner.
But faced with this situation, she really couldn't handle it, not because she didn't have the ability.
But her strength and her status are far from enough.
If she had chosen to give up the first-grade spiritual fetus and break through the fetal transformation realm with the second-grade spiritual fetus, and had already secured the throne, these things today would never have happened. The second-grade spiritual fetus in the fetal transformation realm is definitely not strong in front of the masters of the soldier realm, but it represents amazing potential.
"Father, when will you come out? I can't stand it any longer!"
This feeling of powerlessness made Zhao Ning extremely angry.
Although he has the sword to rule the world in his heart, he is unable to wield it due to his weak body.
