Chapter 436 A kind of passion

When Zhaoyu heard the word "business insult" and smiled slightly, he obviously understood the general idea. However, Li Yongzhong was a little surprised.

Li Zhaoyu followed his father to Europe since he was a teenager. Although he was not the responsible party, mainly for investigation and study, it was considered that the royal family members came out to take matters. Since that time, Li Zhaoyu has understood what business infamy is.

This is the treatment of the children of the royal family and some important ministers, all of which are important to the emperor.

The so-called business infamy is to manage a person’s negative news. The most successful example is King Yu Li Junwei.

When he was young, King Yu often had a ridiculous reputation and was known for his lust and greed for money. Although this kind of infamous person is well known, after years of management, the people of the empire did not think that King Yu had problems with his human nature. Instead, they believed that King Yu was the true nature and more friendly.

The so-called infamous is just superficial. When operating, it is necessary to control these negative images.

Obviously, Li Zhaoyu wanted to thoroughly rectify the imperial tobacco company and the private land of the noble bureaucrats, which would inevitably offend a large number of powerful people. These people have power, money and influence. Even if they commit crimes first, they will launch a crazy counterattack.

What's more, the major rectification of the Tobacco Corporation was just the beginning. What Li Zhaoyu had to finally rectify was the entire state-owned assets and state-owned resources of the empire. There were too many sworms attached to it and sucking the essence of the country's blood essence. It can be said that once it was done, it was to offend all the privileged classes of the empire, and Li Zhaoyu would inevitably be challenged in all aspects.

It is inevitable that the emperor will give him enough trust, but it is far from enough. Li Zhaoyu's image must have an explanation for the people of the empire.

Li Zhaorui took the lead and said: "First of all, it's your personal side. If you want to get married, that troubled woman must be solved."

Li Zhaoyu's expression changed slightly and he said, "Brother Wang, you won't want to kill her, right?"

Li Zhaorui laughed: "Zhaoyu, where did you think of it? What era is this? How can you still kill people? And it's just a woman with no background. What I said was to make this girl shut up forever.

I have seen the files of the Security Bureau and the Imperial Guards. Many teachers and students at Imperial University know about you and her. When your negative news is overwhelming, this matter will inevitably be brought up again, but this girl cannot appear in public vision."

"But...that happened after all." Li Yongzhong saw that Li Zhaoyu was embarrassed to say, so he took the initiative to take over the conversation.

Li Zhaorui said, "It depends on Zhaoyu's decision. Are you going to break up with her and never get in contact with her? Or do you still think about the rekindling of your old love in the future, and even want to... hide the charm of the golden house."

Li Zhaoyu's face changed immediately. Before he went abroad, he had already decided to break it up with one knife. It was because the other party was deeply in love and was unwilling to forgive him. But just when Li Zhaoyu carefully considered what to use to make Li Zhaorui believe in him, Li Zhaorui thought he was hesitant and took the initiative to say, "You can choose as you like, I will deal with it. Even if you choose a golden house to hide the sweetheart, it is simple. I can arrange for someone to marry her in name and then live in your neighborhood. At that time, you just need to make sure you don't make a child, at least not a boy..."

"Stop, stop. Brother Wang, it's not that complicated. I just want to cut it off with one knife, and it's already cut it off with one knife." Li Zhaoyu said.

Li Zhaorui smiled and looked at Li Zhaoyu playfully.

Li Zhaoyu touched his face, confirmed that he had not eaten anything on his face, and said, "What's wrong?"

Li Zhaorui said: "But I didn't expect that the children of Uncle Yu's family are both dedicated people. No one believes them if they say it out. However, this is indeed a good thing. It seems that the equality of men and women in the empire can make significant progress at some point in the future."

Li Zhaoyu knew what his brother Wang was talking about, that was the monogamy system.

In fact, as early as the beginning of the throne of the current emperor Li Junhua, he deliberately implemented monogamy legislation. But the problem is that the queen lost her fertility and the emperor could only marry another. This directly led to the stranding of this matter. The brothers Li Zhaoyu and Li Zhaocheng both showed their solemnity for marriage and respect for their wives. Then no matter who became emperor, monogamy legislation is inevitable.

"Okay, let's just say something that can be cut off. Yongzhong, then this matter is left to you. When it's right, you have to explain it to the girl that if she appears next to Zhaoyu again, it may hurt him. If necessary, you can use some means. In short, let her shut up in this matter." Li Zhaorui said.

Li Yongzhong was hesitating. Although he was friends with Li Zhaoyu, it was not easy for him to make up his mind when he intervened in other people's feelings.

"Yongzhong, agree." Li Zhaoyu said to Li Yongzhong.

Li Yongzhong looked at Li Zhaoyu and saw that his eyes were full of sincerity. Li Yongzhong understood that it would be easy to deal with it. If he didn't take on this job, perhaps the Cheng King in front of him would do it. Obviously, it would be uncontrollable by that time.

"Your personal issues will definitely be the focus of public opinion. Next, you will ask my brother and wife to be harmonious and love will last forever. I don't know much about your feelings, but they should be true feelings, not political marriages or something. But even if there is love, you must learn to show your love.

It is best to have a child as soon as possible. The happier your family, the more impeccable your political image will be.” Li Zhaorui reminded again.

Next, Li Zhaorui came up with a plan, including short-term, medium-term and long-term.

In terms of business insults, the best strategy is to take the initiative, take the initiative, and then control the rhythm. The middle strategy is to confuse the public and counter-attack the moves. The worst strategy is to turn black and white into a stubborn voice. Fortunately, Li Zhaoyu himself has the attribute of being a strong iron, so he will not reach the point of being a bad move.

In recent times, Li Zhaorui's plan was the most meticulous, that is, among all the criminals, one or two officials with special attributes were found.

Such officials must have a positive image of corruption and dereliction of duty. There are not few similar people, after all, managing their own image is something that many officials will do.

In short, when arresting such an official, one must make great contributions and make everyone, including the people of the Empire, believe that the official was wronged, and then use blameless evidence to slap everyone in the face. As long as there is one or two, even if Li Zhaoyu does anything controversial in the future, the imperial public opinion will not easily take sides, and he will not dare to listen to and believe it.

The medium- and long-term plan is to establish a life-and-death image of Li Zhaoyu and the dark forces, and to share the life-and-death image with the worm-fish and rats. It is necessary to let everyone know that Li Zhaoyu did these things in extreme danger.

The longest plan, and the final trump card, is the "assassination case". When public opinion is out of control, or Li Zhaoyu does make a major mistake, the way to restore his image and continue to investigate the privileged class is that he is assassinated.

Li Zhaorui talked until late at night, so strong tea could not dispel his sleepiness and kept yawning.

Originally, Li Zhaoyu thought that this was a very simple thing. After all, he had a clear conscience and did not need external help. But he never expected that even the assassination had been filed in advance.

"Is this... over-force?" Li Zhaoyu asked.

Li Zhaorui was originally sleepy, but when he heard this, Li Zhaorui knocked on the table and said, "Zhaoyu, you must be clear about your identity and also know your position in the emperor's heart. Do you think this plan was made by me? Indeed, I participated in the formulation and scraped all my decades of experience in the intelligence agency. But this plan was approved by the emperor, and many of the details, such as the final assassination plan, were drafted by your father.

The emperor’s original words are to let you do what you want without worries, and I, the old guy, will protect you."

Li Zhaoyu suddenly felt the warmth in his heart, and he said modestly: "I just feel that there are many people mobilizing."

"Zhaoyu, you don't understand the sinisterness of people's hearts. In the early years, you followed your third uncle to hold a foreign mission. To put it bluntly, the merits and demerits are all from the third uncle. What does it have to do with you? After returning to China, he presided over the Eastern Alliance Conference, but it was also an external strategy and a thing to do to make money. The whole family should be willing to say your goodness.

What you have to do now is not a good thing to fight for fame. Taking money from others is like killing parents, not to mention that you are no longer as simple as robbing money. After this is done, I don’t know how many people’s heads will fall to the ground because of you, and I don’t know how many people will be sent to jail.

How can these people be together? Do you think that assassination is just a record, a means of playing? You may not be brave enough." Li Zhaorui reminded seriously.

Li Zhaoyu nodded: "Brother Wang, I already understand all this. But as a royal child, I have no hesitation to do these things. Others said that Lord Su Ri'an is Bao Gong of the time and can correct the origin, but this world is not the world of Su Ri'an. This is the world captured by my ancestors and fathers. It is not only Su Ri'an who cares about the world in his heart. Which of my royal children is not for the country and the people?"

"Okay, okay." Li Zhaorui praised with high fives and said, "If you have this heart, this dynasty may be able to get rid of the dynasty cycles of all dynasties. We old guys can also live in peace. If I don't say others, there will be no one in our royal family to hold you back. This is not my own words. Brother Rong, who is far away in Xijin, also means this.

Our Li family, it’s fine to eat and drink some on weekdays, and take advantage of some greed. It’s not bad, but it’s not harmful. At critical moments, we must set an example.”

This is what Li Zhaoyu wants to hear the most. This time he has to attack the empire's noble group, so it's fine if others are not sure about this royal family. Among the royal family, King Rong and King Cheng are the most troublesome. Now, the emperor, or his father, has already solved the most troublesome ones for him.

The two of them talked for a while, and Li Zhaorui stood up and said, "No, I am old and can't compare to you young people. I'm going back."

"Brother Wang, I'll give you a gift." Li Zhaoyu and Li Yongzhong immediately stood up and sent Li Zhaorui out of the door. They kept watching the carriage walk away before returning.

When he returned to the room, there was still a lot of food on the table. Li Zhaoyu walked to the cabinet, took out a bottle of wine from it, and said to Li Yongzhong: "Yongzhong, let's have some drinks?"

Li Yongzhong nodded: "But if you want to drink some, declare war on the sworms in the Tobacco Corporation should be just the beginning. I think our life will be poured into it in the next five or even ten years."

Li Zhaoyu said: "We chose a big problem. If we can do it, it will be considered as having no regrets in this life."

"Yes, I'm going to have no regrets in this life, cheers!" Li Yongzhong gave Li Zhaoyu full of the glasses. The two clinked glasses. Li Yongzhong shouted, pouring the high-alcohol liquor into his mouth.

Li Zhaoyu said: "Yongzhong, some of my doing this is for the throne, some of my father and grandfather's foundation, and some of my ideals. What about you?"

"Me? I'm not that complicated." Li Yongzhong drank another full drink, stood up, and said in an excited voice, "That was the year when I was a child, my father sent me to Guihua Hall. His Highness Cheng was ordered to go to Guihua City, contact the nobles of the foreign vassals, conduct military parades and autumn fences.

I will never forget that scene. I was standing behind my father. A group of us stood under the rostrum. In front of us were troops from all directions, under the Lifanyuan, the imperial guards, the army, the navy..... Teams of cavalry walked past me, and gun cars drove into my vision one by one, and even a few hot air balloons that I could not understand at that time.

And the steel monsters and trains that were whining loudly in the distance, flying past the railway!

I saluted them, and they saluted me. It seemed that on that day I was His Highness Cheng and the only protagonist. That sense of accomplishment and pride that burst out in my life may be just once.

Oh my God, what a powerful country, what a great country. At that time, I had a fire in my chest. I couldn't imagine what kind of person created this country. I only have one idea, what I want to do for this country.

Although my enthusiasm disappeared a lot after that, I now have the opportunity and that kind of enthusiasm again. This time, it will not let him disappear. This country has given me too much. How could I not have the urge to give everything to her when I am standing?"
