Chapter 573 Choice (for the Silver Leader Niema 13/21)
Lirenfang, Taojia Lane.
"Li Jieshuai came today. The best plan is about to be completed, but there is still one most crucial person left...that is my father. Please be sure to find him as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late when the southwest moves next month."
Li Zhaocheng's voice was very soft, revealing a feeling of physical and mental exhaustion.
He put away the map of Lin'an City on the case and spread out a map of Prince Rong's Mansion.
"Now let's arrange it..."
After a long time, after Li Zhaocheng finished speaking, Gao Nianfeng turned to look at Yang Shi and muttered.
"The best strategy is almost done? Then the middle strategy behind will be busy in vain."
"Alang always has many plans for doing things. It is best if the best strategy can be successful." Yang Shi said in a low voice, "As for the middle strategy, it will definitely not succeed. I look at those important ministers. If they can clean up the situation, they will not help Alang. First of all,
If this happens, I will kill Alang..."
Gao Nianfeng didn't seem to understand, so he had to put aside his regrets and turned to look at Li Zhaocheng, with a trace of suspicion flashing in his eyes.
To be honest, he already couldn't trust Li Zhaocheng.
Even if the best plan is to be made, the key person cannot be found for so long. Isn't it because of Li Zhaocheng?
Sure enough, looking around, Jiang Fan and Lin Zi both winked, intending to discuss privately and communicate information with each other.
"Ahem."
Li Zhaocheng coughed twice more and turned to look at Yan Yunyun beside him.
Yan Yunyun was seen wearing a ghost mask, revealing half of his burned face, and his eyes were cold, adding a bit of solemnity to the room.
Li Zhaocheng said: "I know that I can't find my father for several days in a row. You can no longer trust me. There is something... After I have discussed it with Li Jieshuai, I should make it clear."
"Then tell me quickly."
Jiang Fan is already impatient with these scholars, and he is not done yet.
"My father... is not named 'Li Xiling', but the taboo name is 'Yong'." Li Zhaocheng said slowly: "He is... Li Jieshuai's biological father."
Yan Yunyun suddenly turned his head.
"What did you say?!"
Li Zhaocheng seemed to have forgotten that there were several men specializing in assassination around him. He glanced at Yan Yunyun blankly and nodded.
Li Xia should have said this in person, but too many people were watching.
He had no choice but to let him say it.
Yan Yunyun was stunned for a long time and touched his forehead with his hand.
She originally thought she was just sleeping with the son of an aide.
Unexpectedly, he was Alang's brother...
At this moment, looking at Li Zhaocheng's apologetic and expectant eyes, she couldn't help but sighed in annoyance and said, "Let's continue talking."
"Oh, okay, now I will tell you in detail about the grievances between the Li family and Prince Rong's Mansion..."
Three streets away, nursery rhymes could be heard from time to time.
"Big centipedes and small centipedes are all poisonous insects of human karma..."
Xi Jihu walked through the streets in civilian clothes and arrived at the gate of Wu Mansion, frowning all the way.
Wu Pu and Wu Lin were waiting outside the door, bowing their hands and saying, "Brother-in-law is here."
"There are more nursery rhymes...how many people are here?"
"Five people."
Xi Jihu sighed and followed Wu Pu and Wu Lin through the door.
He is Wu Qian's son-in-law and disciple. He was a Jinshi in the Jiachen year of Chunyou, and he was on the same list as Liu Mengyan;
Wu Pu and Wu Lin are the eldest and second sons of Wu Qian. They were Jinshi in the fourth year of Xingchang, and they were on the same list as Wen Yunsun;
It can be seen that Wu Qian is very good at teaching students, and there are indeed many talents under his disciples.
But tonight, these talents all seem a bit tragic...
There were only a few people in the hall, and Wu Qian was sitting at the top, writing a memorial.
"I've met Yue Weng."
"Zhong Wei is here, have you thought about how to write the memorial?"
"My child wants to persuade Yue Weng again, but it's still too late to stop now."
Wu Qian didn't even raise his head and murmured: "With enough time to save his position, can the Song Dynasty be able to afford such a king?"
"My child understands." Xi Jihu said: "My child's memorial has been written. I would like to ask Mr. Yue to read it..."
"Zimao, come and impeach Jia Sidao over the peace talks in Ezhou."
Wu Pu was shocked and said: "Father, Jia Sidao has no right to negotiate peace at all. If he is not deceiving others, then... he is an official..."
Wu Qian didn't respond and only ordered: "I'll let you impeach me."
"Yes, father."
Wu Pu lowered his head and thought about it, and understood.
This is basically forcing the emperor.
It is almost like saying to the officials, "If your Majesty does not agree to Yi Chu, I will risk my life to destroy your Majesty's civil, political and military achievements!"
He looked around and saw that his father was already very old.
But every wrinkle seems to have the word "strong" written all over it...
Prince Zhong's Mansion.
"Beauty! Haha, beauty!"
The lights were brightly lit in the lobby, and Zhao Yu was laughing and chasing the beautiful maids running around.
"Ah, Your Highness..."
There was a tearing sound and the gauze fell.
The captured maid gasped twice, and Zhao Fu burst into laughter.
"Haha, another one! Another one!"
He sat down on the ground, gasping for air, and said: "I'll chase you later, I'll chase you again, you two will show me... I'm so tired, my feet are sore, come and squeeze my feet, I want to lie down
You are drinking wine and watching them do it, wine comes, wine comes, hahaha..."
A waiter came hurriedly.
"Your Highness, Mr. Ye is here!"
"What?!"
Zhao Fu sat up in shock and stared: "Why is he here again?! Come on, come on, beauty, hide quickly...Pants, pants, pull up your pants quickly!"
…
Ye Mengding had already walked outside the hall, listening to the commotion inside, and stopped moving forward.
He raised his head, because the lanterns on the eaves were too dazzling, so he had to close his eyes and take a few deep breaths.
Everyone knows that King Zhong was weak in his limbs and could only speak at the age of seven, but in the past he was just stupid and weak.
In recent years, it has become more and more dissolute.
In the court, the courtiers who had known each other for many years were still writing letters to the officials to advise them not to indulge in drunkenness and sex. Only Ye Mengding and Yang Dong could no longer advise them at all.
It’s not just because you’re afraid of offending the officials, it’s so shameless!
"Look at the princes you taught by Ye Zhenzhi. They indulge in drinking and sex, a hundred times more than the officials!"
Ye Mengding thought about this and suddenly reached out and slapped himself hard twice.
There were two loud "pop" sounds.
Ye Mengding felt much better.
But after thinking about it, there is still nothing I can do.
This is the only heir to the emperor. No matter how painful my heart is, I have to support him and continue on...
The unpleasant sound gradually stopped. He strode into the lobby and saw Zhao Fu holding a book and reading.
"What book is your Highness reading?"
Zhao Fu was startled and quickly turned to the cover page to take a look.
"Xiao...Xiao Jing."
"I dare to ask Your Highness, what is the meaning of 'therefore, to win the favor of others, to serve as relatives'?"
Zhao Yu made a bitter face, pulled Ye Mengding's sleeve, and said: "Sir, the emperor's uncle said that I don't know how to govern the country, and I will have to rely on you in the future."
It's the same sentence every time.
Ye Mengding shook his head and sighed, then said with a straight face: "Don't talk nonsense! If it reaches His Majesty's ears, His Highness will be whipped again."
"The student realizes his mistake." Zhao Fu said aggrievedly.
But Ye Mengding still felt a little comfort.
Although the emperor's heir in front of him has all kinds of flaws, he can still trust his loyal ministers.
It makes people feel that the burden on their shoulders is getting heavier and heavier.
"Your Highness, we will appoint someone tomorrow..."
"Why do you want to re-employ me again? Haven't you already done so before?"
Ye Mengding touched his forehead and was about to cry, and said patiently: "This time, His Highness is going to marry the Quan family's daughter. After accepting the engagement, he will get married next year and be crowned an adult..."
"Sir, can I accept the Hu family?"
"Your Highness!"
Ye Mengding shouted loudly, and the anger that had been suppressed for a long time finally burst out.
"Does Your Highness know?! Someone is planning to destroy His Highness tonight! How many people are risking their lives for His Highness?! Can we stop for a few days?!"
This sudden loud shout made Zhao Yu's face change dramatically.
Ye Mengding pressed his trembling hands on his shoulders and said with red eyes: "Your Highness! Let me see, this is all worth it... okay?"
"puff……"
Blood spurted out from the chest of a masked man.
Nian'er was standing on the swing talking to Li Xia when he suddenly saw a black figure leap over the courtyard wall and was kicked out by Li Xia.
Afterwards, the guards rushed up and slashed with their swords.
Blood splattered everywhere.
"Kill...kill people..."
Nian'er was so frightened that she almost fell off the swing, but Li Xia had already carried her whole body on his shoulders.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, just come into the house."
"Girl! Girl!" Nian'er just came back to his senses and couldn't help shouting: "My girl..."
"Okay, don't shout, she will be fine... Keep an eye on the study, give me the sword, kill Mo Quan, and chase after anyone who escapes."
Li Xia's steps were steady, and after giving instructions, he strode towards the backyard.
Nian'er was so anxious that she wanted to get off his shoulders and walk on her own, but she couldn't push her after two pushes. She was so panicked that she couldn't do it.
The sound of swords clashing could be heard along the way, and guards swarmed over.
Finally walking around to the back compartment, there was a "bang" sound and the door was kicked open by Li Xia.
Nian'er was put down, and when she turned around and saw Tang An'an, she burst into tears, and her tears kept falling.
"Girl! Are you okay, girl? Wuwu... just now... just now... Lang Jun, are you injured..."
Tang Anan was holding a pipa and tuning the strings. He raised his head and glanced at Li Xia, his beautiful eyes narrowed, he put down the pipa, stood up and played Wanfu, his voice was calm and gentle.
"I've seen Jieshuai."
"Well, it's okay."
Li Xia was still busy, patted Nian'er, turned around and walked out again.
Nian'er was stunned and turned to look at him stupidly. Although he was still in shock, he became worried again for a moment.
"Girl, he, he, he..."
"Don't worry, he will be fine."
"Oh." Nian'er breathed a sigh of relief and kept patting his chest. He was obviously frightened. After a while, he asked again: "Is he angry?"
"What are you angry about?"
"I just feel like he's angry with Nian'er."
Tang Anan's eyes were full of bitterness, he stepped forward and stroked Nian'er's head, sighing: "I don't know, I don't understand him at all anymore..."
"I know Li Xia, he is not that easy to kill."
"Huh? I only met him twice."
"Twice is enough. The dead soldiers of Prince Rong's Mansion can't kill him."
"The purpose was not to kill him, but to find his damn father." Quan Yongjian frowned, "I'm just afraid that there will be such a commotion at the emperor's feet and it won't end. King Pianrong asked me to suppress the commotion.
"
"How did brother do it?"
"What else can we do? He claimed that there was a thief, so he asked the imperial army to hunt him down, and took the opportunity to search Li's house."
"Searched?"
"No."
Quan Jiu lowered her head and stroked her wedding dress and said, "You should have listened to me and poisoned Li Xia. Why bother making such a fuss?"
"Oh, it's so easy, you can arrange it..."
At this time, it was already dark, and the gates of the whole mansion were slowly opened, and preparations began to receive the betrothal gift from King Zhong.
The queue to send people for employment was extremely long. From Ouchi Palace to Imperial Street and then to Hangcheng Street, it was packed with traffic, and there were as many as a thousand porters.
Linzi was among the porters' team.
He carried the big mahogany box and walked into the mansion step by step...
"Four assassins escaped last night, and finally they all entered Prince Rong's Mansion. We chased them nearby, but because Prince Rong's Mansion was heavily guarded, we did not dare to pursue. However, we found an omission in its defense..."
"The whole mansion?" Li Xia clicked on the map and asked, "These two mansions are almost connected together. Can I sneak into Prince Rong's Mansion from the whole mansion?"
"Yes." Gao Nianfeng whispered: "Lin Zi has already taken someone with him."
"Move quickly." Li Xia turned to look out the window and said, "Time is running out."
Because of an assassination last night, he already felt that a storm was coming.
"Zhao Yurui dared to do this because Wu Qian was about to take action..."
Xuan De Hall.
Wu Qian was already kneeling on the ground.
"Your Majesty has learned clearly that none of my ministers have extraordinary talents, and no loyal king has the blessing of your Majesty. A loyal king has no bones to choose from, and he plays in the fine clothes and dining room, and ridicules are enough to benefit the Jin Dynasty. The situation is especially difficult on a day when strong invaders are suppressing the country.
Times. It comes from the common branch, the reputation and position are not correct, and the subjects know it, there must be someone who cannot be eliminated. How can you say that you have no choice and are so miserable?"
"Bang!"
The imperial case was completely overturned to the ground, and the cups and plates were smashed to pieces.
"Wu Qian! That's enough! Shut up now and I will spare your life!"
Wu Qian kowtowed heavily until blood dripped from his forehead, but he continued to speak.
"I dare to assert that...the loyal king is not worthy of being a king, but is enough to destroy the Song Dynasty!"
