My father is Emperor Wu of Han, how can I be different from him?

Chapter 204 Careerist

Liu Ju's concern was genuine, and Li Guangli's desire to share the country's worries was also genuine.

His attitude of recommending himself was very firm. After pondering for a while, Liu Ju waved his hand and agreed.

After leaving the court.

Only three people were left in the Xuanshi Hall.

Imperial Censor Shi Qing still had a hint of surprise and relief on his face, and praised: "Haha, Your Highness does not mess up state affairs with personal feelings, and has the demeanor of a wise ruler."

"Teacher, you are too kind." Liu Ju shook his head and laughed. He could guess the general reason why the former Grand Tutor said that.

Everyone can see that Li Guangli and the Li family have a fundamental gap with the Crown Prince's Palace because of Madam Li of Yilan Palace.

Plus……

Na.

It was the "confidence and arrogance" that filled the court. All officials believed that even if there were some minor dangers in the mission to the Kingdom of Nanyue, there was nothing to be afraid of, and gaining credit would be a sure thing.

The fact that the prince sent Li Guangli, who had a rift with him, shows that he is broad-minded. Shi Qing's words "do not let personal feelings disrupt state affairs" are exactly applicable here.

Not only the Imperial Censor thought so, but the General of the Cavalry beside him also thought so. Huo Qubing said indifferently:
"I haven't seen you for a few days. Your Highness, why are you so shy and timid? You are able to handle state affairs with the overall situation in mind and you also respect the Li family. If you are not a wise ruler, who can be like you?"

ho.

Wow! Liu Ju was stunned. Why do these words sound familiar?

When he came to his senses, he didn't know whether his cousin was belittling him or praising him. Liu Ju smiled bitterly and didn't explain any more.

When dealing with state affairs, one naturally has to have a broad perspective, but it would not be said that Liu Ju selflessly promoted Li Guangli.

One of.

No matter how inflated the self-confidence of the court officials was, they had to face the reality that they were in the enemy camp. Liu Ju and Marquis of Bowang had a very good personal relationship and they had talked a lot about it. He knew very well that being an envoy was a dangerous job.

Li Guangli insisted on going. If he did a good job, that would be his ability. If he did not do a good job or even got into trouble, that would be his fate.

Liu Ju respected him.

Secondly, Liu Ju knew something that his ministers did not know.

Li Guangli is a ruthless man who was able to ascend to the throne by stepping on the former queen Chen Ajiao. In terms of court struggles, he is much more evil and ruthless than Dongfang Shuo and Zhongjun.

The complex royal palace of Nanyue Kingdom needs exactly this kind of talent!
Liu Ju also made full use of everything...

but.

Liu Ju thought so in his mind but didn't intend to say it out loud. Who can object to others praising them too much?
After being reserved for a while, he calmed down a little and said to the two important officials who stayed alone, "It is not safe to rely on a few envoys to rule a country. I am thinking, should we send some troops to the south to deter them?"

Hearing the serious matter, Shi Qing and Huo Qubing also put aside their frivolity. The Marquis of Guanjun said in a deep voice: "Your Highness is considering..."

……

Yilan Palace.

Mrs. Li, who was pregnant, lay on the couch with her back facing up. Her once stunningly beautiful face was now a little swollen.

However, when she frowned slightly, she still exuded a sense of fragility that made people feel pity for her. Perhaps this is her natural beauty.

at the moment.

Madam Li listened quietly while her brother Li Guangli spoke quietly. After her brother finished talking about the recent situation in the court, she sat up on the soft couch and said worriedly:

"Now that His Majesty is not in Chang'an and the Crown Prince is the regent, the situation is not favorable to us. Why do you have to oppose the Crown Prince at every turn?"

"No!"

Li Guangli shook his head firmly, "It is precisely because Your Majesty is not here that I should oppose the Crown Prince!"

Madam Li looked puzzled when she heard this, only to hear Li Guangli continue, "After your Majesty leaves, if the court is in perfect order and there are no problems at all, doesn't that mean it doesn't matter whether your Majesty is there or not?"

"If I bring up the twists and turns, it will actually make His Majesty look at me sideways."

talking.

Li Guangli pointed to a tall jade statue to the right of the main seat and said, "Your Majesty asked Shangguan Jie to bring this back for your sister, which is a clear proof."

"By only rewarding my sister and not the Queen, I am implying that Your Majesty is satisfied with my behavior."

Mrs. Li turned her head to look, and when she turned back, the worry on her face faded a little, but she was still uneasy. She was pregnant and prone to overthinking, so Li Guangli gave her some advice, "Don't worry, sister, I know what to do..."

Noisy, noisy.

Li Guangli did not make a fuss.

It was true that he was looking for conflict for the sake of conflict, but he was also very smart and always found legitimate reasons to cause trouble for the prince.

"The Crown Prince is the Crown Prince, and His Majesty is His Majesty. The honor and disgrace of my family depends on His Majesty. I have no choice but to make a choice. Besides, if the Crown Prince is well, my family's status will be in trouble."

Having stayed in the palace for a long time, Madam Li understood all the truths her brother said, but she still said:

"So, my elder brother doesn't want the crown prince's men to take all the credit, and he also wants to get a share of the spoils during his mission to South Vietnam?"

"Can……"

Li Guangli guessed what his sister was going to say. Before he got up and left, he only left one sentence: "If you want to climb up, you have to work hard..."

Not far from the Weiyang Palace, next to the Chidao Road next to the Zhicheng Gate, is the Li Mansion, the residence of the Li family.

When Li Guangli returned to the house that the emperor had just awarded him, he heard drunken shouting in front of the house gate while he was still in the carriage:

"Okay, that's all for today! Let's meet again tomorrow...hiccup, tomorrow!"

"okay!"

"Brother Li, slow down, be careful with the steps..."

"Alright, alright, stop bothering me. It would be terrible if my brother saw us... hiccup~"

Li Ji, who was dizzy, had no idea that his brother, who had ordered the coachman to stop the carriage aside, had already heard everything clearly.

The last time Li Ji was taught a lesson, it did work for a few days, but it only worked for a few days!

no way.

Li Ji was not cut out to be an official, nor did he have the ambition to make progress. He held an empty title and did nothing all day long. He was idle anyway, and slowly his stubborn character began to grow.

Today he drinks at this house, tomorrow he picks up girls at that house, and within a few days, Li Ji has gathered a bunch of bad friends around him.

He thought he was hiding well, but he didn't know that Li Guangli had bumped into him several times before, and even more than that...

In front of the house.

Li Guangli lifted the curtain of the carriage and pointed at the group of idlers not far away. Seeing this, his followers walked towards them.

Soon.

By the car window, the few playboys who were just lazing around now all put away their ruffians' attitudes. They heard the man in the car coldly admonish them, "I will be leaving Beijing for work in a few days. Keep an eye on him and don't let him cause any trouble."

"Don't worry, General Zhonglang!"

The leading man said respectfully: "Even if we didn't take any money, we wouldn't delay your business!"

That's right.

These "good brothers" who followed Li Ji in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling were all found by Li Guangli to play with his younger brother.

Since the mud cannot be propped up the wall, then don't support it. Just dig a hole in the corner of the wall for the mud to stay there.

In order to let his brother die happily and live comfortably, Li Guangli thoughtfully sought out professionals.

If you observe carefully, you will easily find that the men standing respectfully beside the carriage at this moment all have a gangster-like air.

In the temple, there are dignitaries who gather together because of power. In the market, there are naturally gangs that gather in docks, markets, brothels, gambling houses and other places.

of course.

In the Han Dynasty, they might have been called by another name, such as bad boys, evil teenagers, wanderers, criminals, etc., but the names were different and the nature was the same.

Li Guangli sought them out, firstly, to find a companion for his younger brother, and secondly, to pick some available manpower...

He was not a prince, nor did he have Bowang Garden, so he could not recruit disciples from schools or children of famous scholars.

But the market also has its advantages.

Li Guangli, who had crawled out of that mud, knew very well that there was always a shortage of ambitious people and desperate criminals trying to climb up there...
