"Emperor, what orders do you have for me to be summoned so late at night?”Li Shaoquan bowed and asked.
He knew very well that the Emperor of Guang Zhou had summoned him at this time for something important.
"Minister Li, do you know why the Forbidden City is so chaotic tonight?”Emperor Guang Dong asked.
Li Shaoquan shook his head.
"Empress Dowager Xi died suddenly." The emperor said expressionlessly.
"What?" Li Shaoquan cried out in shock, and his expression changed drastically.
Strictly speaking, Li Shaoquan could also be considered a member of the Empress Dowager's side. In other words, most of the important officials in the court were the people of the Empress Dowager.
Now, Empress Dowager Xi was dead. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to them!
It was even possible that the entire rear party would fall apart.
At the same time, Li Shaoquan was also pondering why the Empress Dowager of the West had suddenly died. Why would the Emperor of Guang Zhou summon him at this time? Was there a conspiracy behind this?
"Minister Li, I have always thought that you are a loyal and talented person. Among all the officials in the court, there are not many who can be as skilled as you.”said the emperor of Guang Dong.
"Your Majesty is too kind, this official does not deserve it!”Although Li Shaoquan was happy, he was very humble.
"I believe that you can enter the Military and Political Affairs Office and become a minister. It was even natural for him to be a military minister. King Liqin's ability was still lacking. If it wasn't for the Empress Dowager wanting him to be the head of the military, how could he have been able to sit in this position!”
Li Shaoquan's breathing quickened. He was a smart man and knew what the Emperor of Guang Dong meant.
If he submitted to the emperor, the emperor would be able to let him enter the Military and Political Affairs Office and become the minister of military affairs, or even the head minister of military affairs.
This was definitely a great temptation for Li Shaoquan.
In his entire life, wasn't he just trying his best to climb up the ranks, hoping to become an official?
Now, it seemed that this step was only one step away from him!
Moreover, the Empress Dowager was dead, so in the Ming Dynasty, wasn't the Emperor of Guang Dong still the ruler? Even though the Emperor of Guang Dong was only fourteen years old, he was still young. But no matter how young he was, he was still an emperor!
Moreover, in the history of the Ming Empire, wasn't there already an emperor who was in his teens?
Li Shaoquan hesitated for a moment before making a decision.
"This subject, Li Shaoquan, will follow Your Majesty's orders. If Your Majesty has any instructions, this subject will definitely do his best!”Li Shaoquan immediately expressed his loyalty to the emperor.
The emperor nodded his head in satisfaction. With Li Shaoquan's support, his throne was secure.
However, Li Shaoquan was a cunning old fox, so she had to further strengthen her relationship with him. It would be best to tie their interests together. That way, he could ensure that Li Shaoquan would not betray him.
"Minister Li, I heard that your Third Miss is not only virtuous and virtuous, but also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. I hope that Minister Li will agree to betroth your daughter to me. Of course, Zhen is still young and Third Miss is also young. We can get engaged first, and in two years, zhen will marry third miss!”The emperor of Guang Dong dropped another heavy bomb.
Li Shaoquan was completely stunned. He had never thought that the Emperor of Guang Dong would want to marry his daughter.
Of course, he knew that the Emperor was trying to win him over. However, this was too much.
However, Li Shaoquan had some doubts.
Once his daughter married the Emperor of Guang Dong, the entire Li family would be tied to the Emperor! If there was any accident, the Li family would be completely finished!
Of course, this was undoubtedly an opportunity for the Li family. If the Emperor could grasp the power, then the Li family would definitely become the number one family in the Ming Empire!
Li Shaoquan thought about it and made up his mind. He did not want to miss such a good opportunity.
"Since the emperor treats this old minister so well, this old minister and the entire Li family will definitely be loyal to the emperor for generations to come.”Li Shaoquan was convinced.
He was not only conquered by the emperor's ambition and charisma. At the same time, there was also the fact that the cake that the emperor had drawn was too big.
Once the emperor married his daughter, he would be the national war. The entire Li family would definitely soar!
