Chapter 132 Countermeasures
The most important reason why Li Junwei valued Lin Xitang so much and insisted on staying in India was that Lin Xitang had the same position as himself.
Lin Xitang would be loyal to Li Zhaogui because of Li Jundu's relationship, but would have great righteousness to the empire. This is what Li Junwei needs. As for how to arrange him, Li Junwei has already thought about it.
Although the elder brother Li Jundu's ideas are changeable and unpredictable, Queen Chen Yourong has always firmly supported her eldest son. However, because her husband's temper is becoming more and more weird, she has rarely expressed her opinions. However, the descendants have a lot of industries and influence in India. Lin Xitang can enter the Shen family's industry and slowly enter the house. Li Junwei will also arrange a more reasonable background for Lin Xitang to ensure that his true identity will not be discovered.
Empire Shin Kyung.
Li Junhua woke up from his sleep, pinched his temples, which were still a little painful, and sighed softly. Even though it was last night, his ears were clear, but his head was still in chaos. It was not because of the hangover, but because of the uproar caused by the incident of King Yu.
King Yu Li Junwei sent troops overseas and intervened in the Indian coup to Shen Jing. The first order after Li Junhua received the news was to secretly order the Security Bureau to notify Li Junwei not to return home first and then talk about it after the limelight was over, but time has not slapped everything, but it has become increasingly popular.
Li Junhua actually knew very well that his younger brother Regal had selfish intentions when it came to interfering in the Indian coup. Moreover, this selfish intention was beneficial to his elder brother, not to himself, but he did not think it was too much.
When Li Junhua became emperor, he was actually more support from his father and brothers. On the contrary, the old military aristocrats who were in power at that time actually liked their elder brother Li Jundu more. After all, military aristocrats are all legacy of the feudal system, so of course they like someone who is good at military expansion and pursues the ultimate imperial power.
But everything is doomed. Although the elder brother after the failure got the chance to make a comeback, the empire is completely different from other countries in the world. It has the largest population, the largest territory, the most advanced political system and the most developed economy in the world. The Hindustan Empire founded by the elder brother can be regarded as the top five countries in the world, but so what? All the other countries combined cannot be compared with the empire.
It is precisely because of his absolute strength advantage that Li Junhua himself does not have much ambitions for Hindustan. He does not think that his brother can threaten the empire. Those so-called military expansion in the face of the empire that rose in the industrial revolution are useless. Therefore, he has always kept the distance between the empire and India as much as possible, and avoided the country established by his brother as much as possible.
Li Junwei is also a special existence for Li Junhua. Even though he knew his brother's selfishness, he would hide it for him without reservation. Not only did he complete the documents for his troops dispatch, but he also stated that under the empire's authorization, he also stated that Li Junwei's actions were for the benefit of the empire and wanted to take advantage of the internal chaos in India to allow the largest country in the subcontinent to open up the market.
However, this could not suppress the accusations within the empire.
Li Junwei established extraordinary merits for the empire, which were tangible, but he also received unprecedented rewards from the empire. The East Coast of America became the fief of King Yu. The actual intention of this matter cannot be made public, so in the eyes of many people, the contributions made by King Yu have been rewarded, and the empire did not have the old example of refining the merits.
Of course, these are also superficial. The deeper reason is that Li Junwei is a representative of traditional military aristocrats in domestic politics. In recent years, the political trend of the empire is that the power of the bourgeoisie is steadily increasing. The bourgeoisie does not like Li Junwei. Li Junwei's military operations and diplomatic activities overseas in recent years are actually nobles. These people make contributions on the front line and return to the empire will inevitably be valued and occupied the political resources of the bourgeoisie.
As for the unclear accounts and chaotic private life that occurred in General Yu's overseas operations, they have become the weapons for these people to attack him.
"What a big deal, why don't you let the third brother go?" Li Junhua sighed and took the towel handed over by Concubine Rong.
Concubine Rong said: "My mother told me about this yesterday. She really missed King Yu. If she really couldn't do it, let King Yu come back first. At worst, she could come back secretly and not show up for the time being."
Li Junhua shook his head: "What do you think?"
"I think I should let my third brother come back. If those people shout loudly, what can I do to my third brother?" Rong Fei smiled and continued, "The third brother is a thick-skinned and straight-mouthed person. Although he doesn't read much, he really needs to debate. I think no one is his opponent."
Li Junhua put down the towel, walked to the table, stirring the porridge in the bowl, shook his head: "Concubine Rong, do you think I won't let the third brother come back because I'm afraid that those people will do what they do to him? You're wrong, you're very wrong."
“Where was wrong?”
Li Junhua said: "I'm not worried about what they can do to the third brother. I'm worried about what the third brother wants to do to them? After you married into my family, the third brother was mostly busy with his own travels. You don't see much of him, and you don't know much about the third brother. This kid is a man who is not afraid of heaven and earth and does everything he wants. Now he is old and still has some rules. When he was in the capital, he dared to take people to knock and slap."
"The court talks are raging. As the saying goes, the law does not punish the masses. No matter how powerful the third brother is, without the permission of the emperor, what can he do with those court officials?" Concubine Rong was still puzzled.
Li Junhua said: "There are so many ways. I can think of one trick, letting fly bite eggs with cracks. Whether it is a minister in the court or a pen in the yard, the third brother will ask someone to check the other party in the sky. How many officials are clean? Not to mention these people who are tempted all day long, they are all people in the world. Who has no secrets? Even if they don't have them, can the family be fine? Even if they don't have them at all, the third brother can make people come out of nothing. Do you believe it or not? In the end, except for Su Ri'an, the rest are all unlucky.
The third brother is really vengeful and takes into account the overall situation... Maybe he really takes into account the overall situation, but at most he doesn't demolish the beams of the house, breaks windows and doors, lifts tiles and digs the ground, and it will be really hard to end at that time. Let him stay overseas."
Concubine Rong stuck out her tongue. She didn't expect that her brother-in-law was so powerful, nor did she expect that her husband, as the emperor, would be so helpless to treat this younger brother.
"Where is Zhaoji, why didn't you see him here to ask him today?" Li Junhua didn't want to mention these bad things anymore, and asked about his only son.
A trace of uneasiness flashed across Concubine Rong's face and immediately said, "I just came from my mother's side. The emperor was still resting at that time, so I asked him to go there. I guess he should be cleaning up and going to school at this time."
Seeing Rong Fei like this, Li Junhua frowned and asked, "Has he caused some trouble again?"
"No, why can you? You've been so obedient during this period." Concubine Rong said quickly.
Li Junhua shook his head slightly: "Is that so, what's wrong with classmate almost burning when doing an experiment in school? He's gone by now and then. Zhao Cheng went to the third brother's side. I'm afraid no one among the children dares to deal with him anymore."
"The burn was just an accident. The child was sent to the hospital and I took someone to see him personally. The child was fine, so it was no wonder that Ji'er." Concubine Rong said carefully.
"You just protect your child." Li Junhua said a little disbelief, "It's really unreasonable for Zhaoji to be spoiled. When I take time, I have to educate him well."
Although Li Zhaoji is not the crown prince, he is the emperor's only son. He is also spoiled because of his identity, especially among his peers, he is arrogant and domineering and no one dares to control him. At that time, Li Zhaocheng dared to suck this younger brother through a big-eared post. Unfortunately, he went to Li Junwei's side. Since then, the child has completely let himself go.
Although Rong Fei said the burns lightly, it was not a trivial matter at all. Although the burned child was not in danger of life, his hair was burned and his forehead was burned. The most important thing is that there was evidence that it was not an accident, but caused by Li Zhaoji's ignorant of the seriousness of the matter.
However, none of these will come into the emperor's ears. Even if the emperor knows it, it will take a long time to go.
After breakfast, Li Junhua went to the imperial study room. Lin Junhong had been waiting for a while. When he met, Li Junhua asked, "Is there any new news coming from the third brother?"
Lin Junhong took out a secret memorial from the Security Bureau and handed it to Li Junhua, which said that Li Junwei's activities in India, such as arranging Lin Xitang to enter India to assist Li Zhaogui, were all written very clearly. In fact, most of Li Junwei's actions overseas will not conceal their royal brothers in China. Most of the concealment are private matters.
"I still have some impression of Lin Xitang. Is this the chief guard next to my elder brother a sentry from the Security Bureau?" Li Junhua asked.
Lin Junhong shook his head: "It's not counted. The third brother asked the Security Bureau to create a fake identity for Lin Xitang in Nanyang, but this person is not under the jurisdiction of the Security Bureau, so he can only count as the third brother's private arrangement. Of course, the third brother will return to China in the future. The Security Bureau can use the reason for foreign affairs to hold the kite string in its own hands. I think the third brother will not object."
"The problem is not this." Li Junhua put down the secret memo and said, "There is almost nothing that can be used in this."
Lin Junhong knew that Li Junwei had many arrangements in India, but all the emperor's usefulness and uselessness were not whether those arrangements were useful or useless to the empire, but whether they were useful or useless to solve the problem of Li Junwei being questioned in China.
For example, the matter of installing Lin Xitang is of great significance to place a person who is devoted to the empire by the Indian crown prince, but this secret arrangement cannot be made public as a merit, proving that Li Junwei's trip to India is for the empire.
Lin Junhong thought for a while and said, "The domestic wind direction is not just targeting the third brother, but someone still supports him."
Of course, some people support King Yu, so naturally those nobles and military nobles of the empire are undoubtedly the rule, but the army cannot participate excessively in politics, so their voices are not loud. The problem is not the voice of the senior management, but private connections and folk voices. Li Junhua also knew that Lin Junhong was not talking about those people, so he became interested and immediately asked: "Who?"
Lin Junhong took out a list and handed it to Li Junhua. Li Junhua just glanced at it and immediately shook his head: "These people cannot be used. In order to get out of trouble at the first time, use these people to waste their money."
The list given by Lin Junhong is a person with considerable influence in the cultural world, many of which are scholarly families, and some have fame and honor from the previous dynasty or the early days of the country. These people are remnants of feudal literati. In the era of Li Mingxun, these people were suppressed and liquidated and hit, but Li Junhua was a tolerant person. Therefore, after he ascended the throne, these people gained freedom one after another, and gained a certain influence through the knowledge and culture he mastered. However, the empire has always been vigilant and did not allow these people to gain real power.
These people support Li Junwei. In addition to wanting to enter the temple, they also support Li Junwei's behavior in their moral concepts is understandable. The four words "friends and respects" are enough to make these people moved.
"There's really nothing to do." Li Junhua stood up, walked around the room, and finally shook his head: "It seems that the person who tied the bell must untie it."
"No, no, my master, you must not let the third brother come back, and you don't think about making him bow his head. This is impossible. If he comes back at this time, he will have to make a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, and it will not end at that time. You can't explain the old man, you can't get through." Lin Junhong immediately became big.
Li Junhua smiled miserably: "Of course I won't be too demanding of the third brother. The person I mentioned is not the third brother, but the beneficiary of the matter."
"Brother?" Lin Junhong suddenly woke up.
Li Junhua nodded, sat at the desk, and took the pen to write on the paper. Lin Junhong looked up and found that Li Junhua's letter was written to his elder brother, but after writing just one sentence, he threw the paper into the trash can. Li Junhua said, "It's better to use a brush to be more serious."
Lin Junhong nodded and immediately took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that people had not used for a long time. He knew very well that for the sake of efficiency, Li Junhua had already asked the imperial administrative units to use pens, but in India, it was still an old-fashioned style of conduct.
Li Junhua wrote a letter while invalidating it, and he thought about it endlessly. In the end, he lowered his figure and wrote a sincere letter to his elder brother in his manner, clearly saying that his younger brother Li Junwei was not having a good time in China because of the Indian affairs, so he asked his elder brother to plan for it.
