Although Li Yi is her uncle, as an uncle, it is okay to help Yang Liuqing rebel, but not to help her give birth to a son.
He only cared about how Yang Liuqing ascended the throne as emperor, avenged her father and brother, and fulfilled his long-cherished wish for many years. As for who she would pass the throne to after becoming the empress, it was not his uncle who had to worry about it. .
Old man Wang came with doubts and entanglements, and after Li Yi instructed to solve his doubts, he left with a happy face.
After a while, Wei Liang and Chen Qing came together again.
For this nephew, Li Yi was really worried, not only to help her make a plan, but also to help her subordinates improve their thinking.
Both Wei Liang and Chen Qing were frontier generals in the past, but defending the frontier is different from rebellion. Li Yi needs to teach them how to start the first war, how to improve the military system, including how to expand the organization, do a good job in united front work, and create waves...
Li Yi has always been advocating that the work should be done by a dedicated person, and the ideological work should be handed over to Old Man Wang. He is at ease. He is absolutely professional in how to compose nursery rhymes, how to stuff silk books in fish stomachs, and how to write persuasion forms.
As for Wei Liang and Chen Qing, their responsibilities are actually even greater. How to grow their camp from 500 people to 50,000, 500,000 people, how to fight every battle, defend every city, and how to help the Queen To clear all the obstacles encountered along the way, such a heavy burden will be on their shoulders.
After talking for more than an hour without knowing it, Li Yi waved his hand a little tiredly and said, "Let's stop here today."
When the two left, they bowed deeply to him. What they have learned from King Jing these days is enough to last a lifetime.
Li Yi leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes and took a rest.
Although a little tired, the exhaustion is worth it.
Not to mention that doing these things is to help his nephew, but also to satisfy a certain complex in his heart...
Just to say that Ruyi has become more gentle with him these days, it is worth doing all this.
He leaned back on the chair, and after an unknown amount of time, there were hands on his shoulders, which pressed gently.
It wasn't Ruyi Xiaohuan or Ruoqing, only Ruyi could use such a jerky technique.
He was a little conflicted in his heart. He hoped that Ruyi would continue to be gentle like this, but also hoped that she would return to her original nature. She is becoming less and less like her now. If she suppressed it deliberately, would she be very unhappy
Of course, he was just out of concern for Ruyi, not because he had any strange hobbies or awakened any attributes that shouldn't be awakened.
At a certain moment, Ruyi paused with her hand on his shoulder and said, "Thank you."
"Thank you?" Li Yi opened his eyes and asked suspiciously.
"Thank you for your willingness to help her."
"I help her, what do you thank me for?"
Miss Liu Er didn't answer again, Li Yi thought for a while, waved his hand, and said, "Actually, it's not as complicated as you think. Think about it, if your apprentice becomes the emperor, you will be the emperor's master, and I will become the emperor's master." The emperor's senior uncle, his seniority is higher than the emperor's, how much face it is to say it... "
Miss Liu Er paused for a moment and asked, "Is that why you are here?"
"Then what else can there be?" Li Yi shook his head, and said again: "Besides, if she becomes the queen, you will be the queen's master. Even if Mingzhu really becomes the queen, you will be better than her?"
Miss Liu Er frowned and said, "Even without this matter, I'm better than her."
Why is the family so fussy, Li Yi naturally wouldn't mention the fact that she lost Mingzhu in the martial arts competition, shook his head, and said, "Isn't this the icing on the cake..."
Miss Liu Er seemed to have remembered something, and asked, "Since you helped Yang Liuqing ascend the throne and wanted to be the empress' uncle, what did you want to do when you made Li Mingzhu the emperor?"
"..."
Li Yi closed his eyes and said, "I've been talking to the two of them for too long, and I'm a little sleepy. I'll sleep for a while..."
He was actually really sleepy, but the strength of the hands on his shoulders was getting stronger and stronger, making it difficult to fall asleep...
…
Cangzhou.
Cangzhou is located on the northwestern border of Wu State. Although it is not a poor place, but because it is too far away from the imperial capital and adjacent to a chaotic place, bandits and bandits sometimes come out of the mountains to make trouble. For hundreds of years, the people of Cangzhou have been troubled by banditry , living in distress, people living in dire straits...
In the past two years, the banditry in the chaotic land has been eliminated, but the life of the people has become even more sad.
Since the chaos in the Wu Kingdom a few years ago, the imperial court has lost its actual control over Cangzhou.
In the past few years, Cangzhou has changed hands several times. First, a powerful man took advantage of the domestic turmoil and took advantage of the situation to attack the city, kill the governor and his assistants, and establish himself as king.
Of course, a few months later, they were wiped out by the imperial court. Later, Cangzhou was attacked by powerful forces several times. They suppressed the rebel forces in Cangzhou and promulgated several policies to benefit the people, allowing the people of Cangzhou to have a short period of recuperation.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. Just a year ago, Princess Duanrong was besieged by the imperial court and several Zhao'an forces. After the defeat, there was no news of her.
Today's Cangzhou has apparently been taken back by the imperial court, but with the military strength of the imperial court, it can't stop the several rebels who took advantage of the situation this year. The people are suffering from it, and their lives are extremely difficult.
A certain village dozens of miles away from the city of Cangzhou.
The white-haired and bearded villager was kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down his face, and begged: "Master Steward, please give us a little more time, give us a few more days, the village was only robbed two days ago, and that's all that's left. There is life-saving food, if you take this food away, everyone will not be able to survive!"
A middle-aged man in a satin shirt glanced at him, and said coldly: "It's only natural to pay back the debt. You were robbed. It's none of my business. I only know that you can't pay the rent that should be paid. After you go back , the master will punish me, I will give you grace, who will give me grace?"
He looked at the people behind him and said, "Why are you still standing there, take all the food away!"
Several servants carried the cloth bags on their backs. In the crowd below, more than a dozen men in coarse clothes showed grief and indignation, but they could only stand where they were, not daring to make any changes.
If they do anything to these people, the ones who will come to the door tomorrow will be the government's arresters!
Seeing a few people loading the grain into the carriage, the middle-aged man looked down, frowned and said: "I only paid less than 30%, I will give you half a month, after half a month, if you still can't pay , but don't blame me for being rude!"
"Half a month..." The villager was watching several people take away the last food in the village, collapsed to the ground, his eyes were blank, and muttered: "Half a month, half a month..., half a month, everyone I'm starving to death..."
He sat on the ground, pointed at the sky and cursed: "God, God, you are not giving us people a way to live, you are letting us die!"
None of the villagers opened their mouths, and all of them stared blankly ahead with blank eyes.
Just after the autumn harvest, all the food was snatched by the thugs, and the rent could not be paid, so the master's family took all their food away...
This entire village has nearly a hundred mouths, and it seems that it is about to run out of food. How can it survive the next year...
In this shitty world, they don't give them a way out at all. If Her Royal Highness is still here, how good it would be...
"Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun..." The panicked voice of the woman woke up everyone, and they all looked in the direction of the voice.
A girl about seven or eight years old, in ragged clothes and messy hair, fell to the ground. The woman squatted on the ground, picked up the girl, and shook in panic.
"Xiaoyun, what's wrong with you..."
Cunzheng got up from the ground, walked over quickly, touched the girl's forehead, shook his head, and said: "This child has been ill for several days, hurry up and find a doctor, if you delay, he will be gone... "
The woman looked desperate, they couldn't even eat, how could they have spare money to find a doctor
She hugged the girl, burst into tears, and wailed: "Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun, mother is sorry for you, mother is sorry for you..."
"Sister-in-law, what happened?"
Hearing a voice beside her, the woman suddenly raised her head and saw a young man walking by the side of the road.
The young man walked up to the woman, knelt down, pinched the little girl, and the little girl woke up slowly.
She looked at the woman and said weakly: "Mom, I'm hungry..."
The woman hastily wiped away her tears and said, "Mother is going to get you something to eat..."
The young man took out a package from his arms, opened it, took out a steamed bun, handed it to the little girl, and said, "Let's eat something first."
The little girl was startled, and the next moment, she took the steamed bun and started to gobble it up.
The young man turned his head again and said to the person standing by the roadside with a red cross armband on his shoulder: "This little girl is sick, come and help her."
He looked at the woman and said with a smile, "Don't worry, he is a doctor."
All this happened very quickly. After the woman was stunned for a moment, she immediately knelt down on the ground, kowtowed to the young man a few times, and said loudly: "Thank you for your great kindness, thank you for your great kindness..."
The young man shook his head and said with a smile: "You don't need to thank me, if you want to thank me, just thank Empress Tianhou..."
