So Zhao Ji hated his son, but he couldn't do anything to him.
The Wei and Han families were somewhat disdainful of Zhao Qi. The three families of Zhao, Wei and Han were already fighting over the territory of our Li State. Why did the Zhou royal family come to get involved? Even though Zhao Qi had won a lot of good reputation among the people, in his opinion, it was just an empty reputation.
Seeing his disdain, Zhao Qi was not angry, but just smiled and said, "Lord Wei must be angry with me because of Wei Meng's matter, but Lord Wei, do you know why I got involved in this muddy water?"
"But you can say it!"
Wei Huan seemed a little uninterested.
Zhao Qi did not answer immediately, but changed the topic to another matter: "Do you two know what the royal family's attitude towards Ying Wuji is?"
After hearing this, both of them were silent for a while. They did understand something.
Ying Wuji's bookstore was nearly closed down by Luo Yan, and in the end he relied on the jade pendant from Qingjiang Palace.
At the literary meeting, Zhao Qi made a meaningful speech, implying that he was the wise ruler of the future Li Kingdom. However, he was slapped in the face by Ying Wuji's words "A man dressed in silk and satin is not a silkworm breeder."
It can be said that Ying Wuji has a very ambiguous relationship with the royal family.
Zhao Qi looked a little serious: "If I were my father, I would probably want a consort like Ying Wuji. I don't know what Ying Wuji is thinking, maybe he is very ambitious and is not afraid to fight with Ying Wuque. But after this incident, even if he is very ambitious, he has to be humble."
"You mean, a marriage?"
Wei Huan narrowed his eyes, his expression slightly unfriendly: "Marriage is a good thing for Ying Wuji, but it may be a bit exaggerated to say that His Majesty wants such a son-in-law."
Although Ying Wuji's reputation in Jiangcheng has been growing in recent days, it is only in bookstores, poetry, and operas, and I am afraid that he cannot be seen in the eyes of King Li. After all, even the most valuable bookstore is only a drop in the bucket in front of a big family.
If both parties in the marriage are of extremely high status, the Wei family will certainly be wary.
But Ying Wuji... let’s not talk about Ying Wuji. After all, he got the business seal, so he has some status to some extent.
So which princess should the Kingdom of Li choose?
Which princess has a higher status?
With this kind of marriage, how firmly can the royal interests of the two countries be bound together?
Han Zhe also thought of this, but his attitude was a little different. He thought for a moment and said, "Just now! Wu Shuangxu asked Han Xie to add a sentence in the confession, saying that the reason why Ying Wuji killed all the people was because he was plotting against him, causing him to lose his mind."
Now, all three of them were silent.
Is this to wash away all the stains of Ying Wuji, because a royal consort cannot have any stains?
Wei Huan looked gloomy: "So, are you sure you want to form a marriage alliance?"
Han Zhe's face also looked a little unhappy, because Han Xie was almost dead now, and the confession should have fallen into the hands of Prince Ning. This matter...
Zhao Qi smiled and said, "Actually, whether or not to form an alliance is not a big problem, because as long as we accomplish another thing, it may be of greater significance."
"What is it?"
Wei and Han finally began to become interested in what he said.
Zhao Qi pointedly asked, "Do you two remember how long my father has been in seclusion?"
"Seven years and six months!"
"What about the most recent retreat?"
"One year and three months!"
The two people answered straightforwardly. After all, they were observing King Li's every move all the time.
In fact, Zhao Ji had placed Zhao Ning in the position of regent seven years and six months ago, but he began to go into seclusion frequently from that day on. However, the time of seclusion was relatively short at that time, and he would come out from time to time, and his strength would improve every time he came out.
But this time, one year and three months is really too long.
Zhao Qi smiled and said, "You two may not understand the blood burning technique of my Zhao family. The more blood you burn in the early stage, the faster your strength will increase, and the more your life span will be reduced. However, as long as you become a saint, the lost life span will be made up."
The two looked at each other. They knew something about the situation.
However, it was normal for the Kings of Li to go into seclusion in all dynasties, but there were few as crazy as Zhao Ji. Most of them would pass the throne to the crown prince when their life was about to end, and then they would go into seclusion to try to break through. However, there has never been a King of Li who could achieve sainthood.
Moreover, Zhao Ji was only fifty years old, in the prime of his life, which was quite different from the average life expectancy of sixty years for the kings of Li throughout history.
So they just thought that this was to cultivate Zhao Ning's prestige so that he could ascend the throne more smoothly.
Zhao Qi suddenly smiled and said, "Everyone in the world says that Ying Yue is the most powerful among the princes, but they don't know that my father's talent is not inferior to Ying Yue, otherwise he would not have tried to retreat and break through the realm at the age of fifty. You two might as well think about it. On the day of Ying Wuji's sudden death, who stepped forward to solve the problem? This time, the matter has become so serious, who stepped forward again!"
A word can wake a person up from his dream.
Ying Wuji was killed by Gu, which was a huge diplomatic incident.
This time, four families, Wei, Han, Xiangfu and Gan State, were involved.
But from beginning to end, King Li, who should have shown up, never showed up.
Is it that he doesn't want to show up, or...
He can't get out at all?
Wei Huan narrowed his eyes: "So you tried to use the soul-stealing technique on Ying Wuji..."
Zhao Qi smiled and said, "I also want to see if my father can still resist coming out in the face of such a diplomatic incident!"
Han Zhe also asked: "Pingling Jun asked us today..."
Zhao Qi cupped his hands and said, "This matter has not yet been settled. No one other than Prince Li is qualified to handle such a major matter! I beg you two to follow me into the palace tonight and ask His Majesty to come out of confinement!"
The room was silent for a while. There was no sound, but there seemed to be an undercurrent of anger.
a long time.
Wei Huan asked, "What if Your Majesty cannot leave the border?"
Zhao Qi smiled and said, "Zhao Ning is young, I am afraid it is difficult for him to take on the heavy responsibility of governing the country. Please help me ascend the throne!"
"We can't tell who is the wise ruler between Lord Pingling and Prince Ning!"
"What benefit will our two families of Wei and Han get from helping Lord Pingling ascend the throne?"
Facing the two people's questioning eyes.
Zhao Qi smiled: "Have you ever thought about... dividing the three families?"
