Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 26

Wu Meiniang snuggled into Li Gan's arms, and said, "When the troops were really about to be dispatched, Your Majesty did not appoint generals, but ordered the ministers of the court to decide the candidates."

"The concubine felt that if His Majesty really chose a candidate, no matter who he chose, he would be refuted by the military officers, and the person His Majesty chose might also be rejected."

Li Gan's expression froze, and he frowned: "Is that true?"

Wu Meiniang thought for a moment, then nodded firmly: "It must be so."

Li Qian didn't ask the reason any more, but frowned and thought about it.

After thinking for a while, he guessed the general reason.

military power!

Yang Jian, Li Yuan, and Zhao Kuangyin probably wouldn't want me to divide their military power away.

As for the matter of ordering generals, I am afraid that it has touched the core power of the three of them.

Li Gan nodded slowly, stroking Wu Meiniang's hair with his chin.

I have asked enough questions today. Although he still has other questions, he doesn't want to talk about them anymore.

After all, Li Qian still doesn't fully trust Wu Meiniang, so he can just finish some things.

"Meiniang is really smart and smart, I can't match it." Li Qian smiled and put Wu Meiniang on his lap.

Wu Meiniang lowered her head: "The concubine is not as good as His Majesty in case."

She wanted to say something else, but Li Qian's hands had already begun to be dishonest.

"His Majesty……"

Wu Meiniang twisted a few times uneasily.

This aroused Li Gan's anger even more.

It's just that when he was halfway through the kiss, when he looked up, he met Wu Meiniang's pitiful and pretty face.

"Ah~"

Li Gan sighed and realized something: "Meiniang, go back and rest first, and I will look for you again in a few days."

"Your Majesty, your concubine..."

Wu Meiniang wanted to say something more, but Li Gan lowered his head again, and kissed her fair and pretty face pitifully:
"I asked the palace servants to send you back to rest and take care of yourself, and I will look for you in a short time."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wu Meiniang blushed pretty, and said no more.

After sending Wu Meiniang away, Li Qian threw himself on the bed with a plop, watching the wind and clouds move outside the window.

The sky is getting more and more gloomy, the gauze curtain is rolled by the gloomy wind, the branches and leaves are rustling outside the window, and the curtains in the hall are flying.

"He Shen……"

Li Gan stroked the lifelike dark golden dragon pattern on the gauze tent, and he had roughly figured it out.

To understand the motive of He Shen's words, one must first understand one thing.

Why did He Shen in the previous life be able to monopolize power in the court?

Because Emperor Qianlong gave him a platform and trusted him in everything, He Shen was able to monopolize power in the court.

Now he wants to please himself, presumably also to build a good relationship with himself.

"Um……"

Li Qian suddenly thought, there are two other people who are like this!
"Yan Song knelt and licked Jiajing during the ceremony, and Jiajing took the stand for him...Qin Hui agreed with Song Gaozong and Zhao Gou's peace proposal, and gained power..."

These three are all models of kneeling and licking the emperor!
"As long as there is one who can inherit the style of the previous life, the emperor will be much more comfortable..." Li Gan looked a little weird.

Later, he thought of Cai Jing, one of the four heavenly kings of civil servants.

"Cai Jing is not like that..."

Cai Jing rose and fell, and each time he recovered, his power was greater than before. It was not because Song Huizong appreciated him, but because of his acquaintance with the party members of the Manchu Dynasty.

After returning to the phase for the second time, Cai Jing once hosted a banquet for many party members, and publicly said at the banquet: I don't worry about losing my official position, but only about losing my friends.

"His network is really wide..."

Li Gan's face darkened, thinking of Cai Jing flirting with the military officers at the court meeting.

"Oh~ I can't do anything about him..."

Li Gan let out a long sigh, stood up from the bed, and looked at the gloomy sky outside the window.

You can't just look at the bad places, but also look at the good places.

Although the situation in the court is very treacherous and changeable, today he finally figured out a little way and has a clearer position on himself.

Li Gan also had some ideas about what to do in the future.

If you can take advantage of it, you can take it. If you can't take it, you don't force it, so as not to push the ministers.

Of course, the original plan of punching and opening must continue.

No matter what the court situation is, a soft persimmon emperor is absolutely untenable, even if the powerful officials want to lick it, they will not lick a big soft egg!
Li Gan looked at the sky outside the window, thinking about the situation ahead.

Although the sky has been cloudy, the clouds are moving and the wind is blowing, but not a single drop of rain has fallen.

goooo~
There were several noises in my stomach, and before I knew it, it was noon.

Apart from those few snacks, Li Qian hadn't eaten anything else.

He turned around and walked outside the door: "Big companion, go prepare the meal!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Wei Zhongxian bowed in response, he was about to leave.

But Li Qian was somewhat hesitant, and stopped him suddenly: "You...send someone to the Zhongcui Hall, and call the Guanyin servant girl to have dinner with me."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Zhongxian agreed and left.

Li Gan also came to the first floor, and after a while, the little eunuchs lined up and entered the hall with meals.

Li Gan didn't move his chopsticks, but looked outside the hall, waiting for his grandson Wugou to come over.

When I left from her yesterday morning, I originally said that I would go back after the next court.

But who would have thought that the court meeting was delayed for such a long time, and after the court meeting, due to the hot weather, he planned to go there at night.

But I didn't expect to meet Wu Meiniang again in Yulinyuan, and I was delayed for a day.

Now that Wu Meiniang is gone, Li Gan thinks again, and naturally thinks of his eldest grandson Wugou.

"Ha~ah~"

He sat on the mat and waited, and yawned several times without knowing it. He really didn't have enough rest in the past two days, and his time management was not in place.

At this moment, the eldest grandson Wugou finally arrived.

Under the gloomy sky, a bright and beautiful figure, accompanied by several court ladies, stepped up the long steps and arrived at the entrance of the Hall of Eternal Life.

Wearing a light-colored skirt with flowers and birds, her eyebrows are like distant mountains, her eyes are full of autumn water, her skin is like fat, and her black hair is coiled into a cloud bun at the back of her head. From a distance, she looks dignified and magnificent.

Li Qian was taken aback, she was clearly just a girl who was not even in her double tenth year, how could she dress up so imposingly?

"The concubine has seen His Majesty." The eldest grandson Wugou came to the hall and bowed down.

Li Gan smiled and got up from behind the table, and took her weak and boneless hand: "The maidservant of Guanyin is here? I have been waiting for you to eat."

The eldest grandson Wugou was taken aback, somewhat flattered.

"How can the concubine be able to let His Majesty wait for the concubine to eat?"

"It's okay, you and I don't need to care about these things." Li Gan smiled and pulled her to stand up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The eldest grandson Wugou sat down behind Li Gan.

When eating, Li Qian focused on eating and drinking, while Changsun Wugou watched him tenderly from the side, and occasionally stretched out his plain hand to wipe the food residue from the corner of his mouth with a silk handkerchief.

Li Gan ate this meal with ease.

When getting along with Wu Meiniang, always think about the government and those ministers.

But when getting along with the eldest grandson Wugou, he felt completely relaxed in his heart.

There is always a kind of peaceful temperament about this woman.

"I'm full."

Li Gan quickly wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and led his eldest grandson Wugou to the upper floor.

"Let's go, I'll show you the scenery inside the Palace of Eternal Life."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Changsun Wugou looked at Li Gan's back with his beautiful eyes, and he was dragged up to the third floor of the Hall of Eternal Life.

Looking down from the window here, the scenery is unique, but only a corner can be seen.

Hundreds of purple bamboos stained with teardrops stand in forests, bluestone roads are secluded, gurgling water intersects, gorgeous and precious "Yuyihuang" and "Weizi" flower branches spread, and a small lake is faintly visible in the center.

The sky was covered with overcast clouds, the wind was getting stronger, and there was still a hint of moisture in it.

Storm is coming.

The cool wind blew on the faces of the two of them, Li Gan narrowed his eyes, and Changsun Wugou hugged his arm silently.
