Chapter 8 Am I a waste?(1/2)
"Ah, right..."
After hearing this, Yang Mo understood completely.
A few days ago, he was surprised that the so-called country cannot be without a king for a day.
It has been more than a month since King Qing has not ascended the throne as emperor.
It must be because the court disagrees, and the struggle between the Li family and the King Qing power has mostly reached a tiny momentum.
The court wanted to give it a title, and the so-called political purpose was also very clear: it cut off the bargaining chips of the Li family on his side.
So I sent Junchen to Taiyuan.
But King Qing probably knew that he was holding it in the hands of the Li family, and there was no possibility of making trouble in him.
Therefore, only titles are given, not fiefs or any salary, or other substantive things.
Even as soon as he refused, Lai Junchen did not persuade him much.
Lai Junchen used this excuse to come to Taiyuan. In fact, his killer move was to collect evidence that the Li family wanted to rebel before.
Once these evidences are confirmed, Li Yuan and his son in the court will be extremely passive and even lose everything.
As for Li Xiuning asking him to save the girl named Shi, there are probably two reasons.
First, the Li family won this struggle, and the possibility of her getting married to herself was even more slim.
Li Xiuning was the child of the Li family after all. At that time, Li Yuan became a powerful minister in the court. If he wanted to go further, he would inevitably win over more aristocratic families.
Marriage is the most direct and effective way to tie the big family to its own chariot.
At that time, even if Li Xiuning insists on his promise, Li Yuan will never agree to get married.
The best result is to drag it down and maintain this state of engagement but not marriage.
Inexplicably, he was involved in the Li family's power struggle, which seemed to Li Xiuning to be innocent.
If this matter is delayed again and the incense of the old Yang family is cut off due to the delay, Li Xiuning will feel even more guilty.
So letting myself marry this teacher girl is a compensation for myself.
And for the master, there is a better destination - by the way, it can slowly resolve the misunderstandings between Master Li and his family.
The second reason: This struggle has reached a point of life and death, and the current situation is very unfavorable to the Li family.
It is very likely that the Li family will fail this time and then suffer from the disaster of extermination.
I was just engaged to her, not to get married, although I was also within the scope of being implicated.
But the winner is King Qing, a member of the Yang family.
Yang Mo is one of the few bloodlines in the Yang family's royal family, and King Qing will never involve him for his face.
By then, Li Xiuning would have an explanation to herself after marrying that master girl.
For a moment, Yang Mo thought a lot.
Although Li Xiuning did not consider the feelings of herself and the teacher in the process of handling this matter at all, she thought of them as tool people.
But she is not a big shot. It would be strange if the grand ladies in feudal society could have the concept of modern people.
"I just wanted to remind the girl that the person with the surname is not good, so it turns out that the girl has known it a long time ago."
"Well, before he arrived in Taiyuan, his brother's letter arrived."
Li Xiuning closed the long hair on her forehead: "Please rest assured, young master, he will not collect any evidence."
"Well, that's good."
Yang Mo paused: "As for the matter about that master girl..."
"I didn't inform the young master in advance, and I hope to forgive me. I don't have to worry about this matter. You can think about it slowly."
Li Xiuning obviously misunderstood Yang Mo's attitude.
Hearing this, Yang Mo could only swallow what he wanted to say: "Just follow the girl's arrangement." He swallowed it and nodded slowly.
Li Xiuning stood up and left Chunmei, leaving only Ma Sanbao sitting at the door watching Yang Mo stew rice.
After a long time, Yang Mo ate all the food and put down the dishes.
"Three treasures..."
Ma Sanbao didn't know what he was thinking, and said ah.
"Do you think I'm a waste?"
A sentence that made Ma Sanbao not know how to answer.
I wanted to nod, but I was afraid of hurting the self-esteem of the son-in-law in front of me.
After all, the two are good friends now and cannot be as direct as they did when they first met.
But if you want to shake your head, you will be ignorant of your conscience.
Finally, I could only ask back: "Why did my son-in-law ask that?"
"I just feel that your lady seems to treat me as a waste who knows nothing, and always wants to arrange everything for me... she is obviously smaller than me..."
Yang Mo took a sip of tea. Although it was very delicious to eat soft rice, he was still a little unhappy when Li Xiuning treated it like this.
But the feeling of some people thinking about themselves is very heartwarming.
This girl... is also a stubborn and heartbreaking personality.
She had never considered herself at all.
"Actually, you don't know anything, either."
Ma Sanbao was very serious and looked at the straw sandals next to him: "At least, no one in our mansion can weave straw sandals better than you."
“Weaving straw sandals is also a big deal.”
Yang Mo stood up, walked to the threshold and sat side by side with Ma Sanbao: "In ancient times, there was an emperor who weaved straw sandals when he was young."
"Ah? Is this still the case?"
Ma Sanbao was a little surprised.
"No, I just said that on purpose and put a gild on my face."
Yang Mo held his shoulders and narrowed his eyes into crescent moons.
"I just said, how could there be an emperor who has woven straw sandals?"
Ma Sanbao also laughed, but a trace of worry in his smile could not disappear.
"There are also emperors who have been monks and have to eat."
Yang Mo replied in his heart, then looked up at the night sky. The moon was very big and the moon was beautiful.
He knew the concerns of Sanbao very well, that was Lai Junchen.
This person who came to Taiyuan to search for evidence of the Li family's rebellion.
Li Xiuning and Ma Sanbao obviously knew more about how much the struggle in the court had reached than themselves.
When she was talking to her just now, although the stubborn girl said that Lai Junchen would not collect any evidence, there was also a trace of unresolved worry in her eyes.
The Li family made sufficient preparations for rebellion.
More than a month ago, if the meteorite had not killed the emperor, I was afraid that they would have already launched an army now.
In a month, no matter how much you cover it or hide it, if you are interested, you can always find clues.
This is also what Li Xiuning and Ma Sanbao are worried about.
"Sanbao, I'll go to the market tomorrow. Will you go with me?"
Ma Sanbao shook his head: "No, I want to go back to the military camp with the lady, and there are still many things to do..."
"Then aren't you afraid that I will run away?"
Yang Mo quipped.
"Oh, son-in-law, I'm not a fool. If you wanted to run, you would have run away long ago."
Ma Sanbao had something to suppress, but he had no intention of joking with Yang Mo.
The two of them looked at the night sky together, and Yang Mo suddenly said softly: "Sanbao, I actually have a skill that is more powerful than weaving straw sandals."
Ma Sanbao exclaimed: "What skill?"
"Killing someone, is this a skill?"
Yang Mo smiled brightly, while Ma Sanbao looked at him up and down, with disgust on his face: "Son-in-law has killed anyone?"
"Not in this life."
"I just said, you are a weak scholar - your son-in-law, you seem to be a scholar. Even if you are not a scholar, how could you kill someone?"
"I often kill people in my dreams."
"In my dream? I've slept in my dreams with the queen..."
