Chapter 77 Winter Moon has bid farewell to the old and welcomes the new [Thanks 201905.....45365
Shence Mansion.
Li Zhiyun, dressed in robes, was grilling meat and drinking wine around a brazier with Du Ruhui and Xue Shou.
When it's cold, you have to eat something hot.
As the New Year is approaching, the Dou family cannot keep Dou Wei's body at home. It was officially buried two days ago under the auspices of the King of Chu.
"His Royal Highness has been contacting the old people of Tiance Mansion with great fanfare in the past few days. I'm afraid the people in the East Palace are feeling uncomfortable." Xue said with a smile on his lips.
Li Zhiyun sneered, "My eldest brother must be feeling uncomfortable right now. Although my father recently abolished the court due to the death of my second brother, the court has not stopped. Whenever the officials of the East Palace speak, my father will definitely reject them. I'm afraid that the prince is now
I’m on tenterhooks and very defensive.”
Du Ruhui said: "Now it seems that the prince is banned in the East Palace. The saint does not simply want to suppress and warn, but also wants to take this opportunity to support His Highness."
"It took one year for my father to worry about it." Li Zhiyun smiled.
Xue Shou said: "His Highness's actions during this period have aroused great fear in the East Palace, but King Qi has benefited from it and developed rapidly."
"Oh, King Qi has a plan?" Li Zhiyun asked.
Xue Shou nodded, "Yes, and it's almost time."
"Okay, then I will work harder for King Qi."
At this time, Li Zhen came to report, and Su Shichang and Su Xu asked to see him.
"Why is Su Xu here?" Li Zhiyun was puzzled.
It was his idea to let Chen Shuda go to win over Su Shichang, but he didn't let Chen Shuda go to Su Xu. In other words, he didn't have time to win over Su Xu.
"Is Mr. Chen here?" Xue Feng asked.
Li Zhen said: "No, only Su Shichang and Su Xu."
Li Zhiyun explained: "It is not appropriate for Prime Minister Chen to be exposed now, lest he arouse his father's fear."
He didn't want Lao Li to know that he, Chen Shuda and Pei Ju were all colluding together, otherwise Lao Li might break the prince's seal in advance and let him come out to compete with him.
Immediately, Li Zhiyun went to see Su Shichang first. The two talked for about two hours. Finally, Li Zhiyun appointed Su Shichang as the military officer of the Shence Mansion.
Before leaving, Su Shichang said: "Your Highness, Su Xu is well-read and can use it. Please consider it at your own discretion."
"Don't worry, Mr. Shi, I understand."
After seeing off Su Shichang, Li Zhiyun met Su Xu in the side room.
Li Zhiyun didn't have a deep impression of Su Xu. He only knew that he was the grandson of Su Wei and one of the eighteen bachelors of the Prince of Qin's palace.
Historically, Su Xu was not very famous.
However, he is not without merit. In "Kuo Di Zhi", he majored in planning, and later became a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
During the conversation with Su Xu, Li Zhiyun also understood his current difficulties, so he readily ordered someone to take out a Liaodong wild ginseng from the palace warehouse and give it to him, and also sealed him with three hundred taels of silver.
Finally, Su Xu was appointed as the Dianxian of Shence Mansion. This was his old profession, so Su Xu happily accepted it.
The Shence Mansion was poaching people everywhere, and Dong Gong was not blind, so he naturally got the news quickly.
Li Jiancheng wanted to cause some trouble for Li Zhiyun, but the problem was that as long as he asked his subordinates to prevent Shence Mansion from recruiting people, his father would immediately reprimand him.
Clearly targeted!
"What do you mean, Lao Wu?" Li Jiancheng sneered, "He is very dishonest now!"
Zheng Shanguo said: "Your Highness, I am afraid that the King of Chu has been lost in the glory of General Shence. In recent political affairs, many saints have relied on the King of Chu. I am afraid that he is no longer the King of Chu that Your Highness thinks."
"Want to imitate the second child?" Li Jiancheng's face was as cold as iron.
Lu Chisong said unhurriedly: "Recently, the King of Chu has been relied on by many saints, and it is reasonable for his ambition to grow day by day. What's more, half of the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty are in the hands of the King of Chu. He has been unfaithful from the beginning to the end.
His Highness must be on guard against the definite existence."
"How to prevent it?" Wei Ting asked worriedly: "The sage supports the King of Chu, and it is known to both the government and the public. Once you and I open our mouths, as long as the King of Chu is involved, the sage will definitely reprimand him."
"Then do nothing?" Lu Chisong asked.
Wei Ting said: "It's not that we don't do anything, it's that we can't do it now. The Sage is obviously supporting the King of Chu. In this case, no matter what we do, the King of Chu will have an advantage over the Sage."
Everyone was silent.
Now the advantage of the King of Chu is a bit exaggerated. Not to mention his strategic admiral, but the fact that "Jian is in the emperor's heart" is enough to give them a headache.
Wang Gui said: "Wait a minute, the matter with King Qin is not over yet. A conflict with King Chu at this time will undoubtedly make the saint more suspicious of His Highness. However, let King Chu be proud for a while longer. Your Highness will return to court.
, let’s have some fun with King Chu again.”
Li Jiancheng slowly clenched his fists, his face turned livid. He was now hostile to the King of Chu, and at the same time he hated the Emperor in his heart.
Why does he have to find an opponent for him every time?
Is he so untrustworthy?
If possible, he really wants to...
"Okay, just follow what Wang Gui said and let him go for the time being." Li Jiancheng swallowed his anger and chose to remain silent for the time being.
"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.
At this moment, Zheng Shanguo whispered: "Actually, I have a plan to get rid of the threat of King Chu."
"Tell me and listen." Li Jiancheng's mind moved.
"Luo Yi is far away in Youzhou and does not listen to the court's orders. The saint has long wanted to get rid of him. He might as well use Luo Yi's hand to get rid of the King of Chu."
"Luo Yi?" Wang Gui said: "The Turks are not the opponent of the King of Chu, let alone Luo Yi. Furthermore, if the King of Chu goes to conquer Youzhou, he will definitely have a lot of troops. In this way, how can Luo Yi be the opponent of the King of Chu. Moreover, if the King of Chu goes to conquer Youzhou, he will definitely have many troops.
Luo Yi now has no choice but to rely on our government due to the famine in Youzhou, so how can he rebel? Mr. Zheng, you think things are too simple."
"Haha." Zheng Shanguo said: "You misunderstood. What I mean is that Luo Yi did not rebel, but Gao Kaidao was always a threat. If the King of Chu wants to conquer Gao Kaidao in the future, passes by Youzhou, and dies in Youzhou, the blame lies on Youzhou.
Who?"
"You want to assassinate me?" Wang Gui stared.
Zheng Shanguo said nothing, but silence was equivalent to acquiescence.
"No." Lu Chisong objected: "If the King of Chu dies in Youzhou, the matter will definitely be serious. The death of King Qin has already made the saint suspicious. This is absolutely not allowed to be done to deal with the King of Chu."
"I don't agree either." Wei Ting objected: "The King of Chu is not his direct descendant, nor is he the King of Qin. As long as we deal with it properly, he won't be able to cause any trouble. There is no need to take such risks."
Seeing that they all objected, Li Jiancheng said: "Let's discuss this later. Don't do this except in case of emergency. You can go down first."
"yes."
Everyone bowed their hands and retreated.
Immediately, Li Jiancheng called the guards and asked them to bring Zheng Shanguo back halfway.
"How sure are you that you can succeed in assassinating the King of Chu?" Li Jiancheng asked directly.
Since killing his second brother, he is no longer as secretive about killing his brothers as he used to be. Now, no matter who stands in his way, he will get rid of him quickly.
"Your Highness, how sure are you that the Lu family will take root in Fan Yang?" Zheng Shanguo asked.
Hearing this, Li Jiancheng smiled.
Yes, he almost forgot that the Fan Yang Lu family is his. If the King of Chu goes to Youzhou, he will fall into a trap.
"But Lu Chisong doesn't agree to do this." Li Jiancheng thought of Lu Chisong's attitude and couldn't help but frown.
Zheng Shanguo said: "Your Highness, don't be anxious. When King Chu goes to Youzhou, Your Highness will ask Lu Chisong to agree."
"Okay, you go back and think of a perfect plan for Gu."
"yes."
Li Jiancheng clenched his fists, his eyes flashing fiercely.
King Chu, you forced me to do this, don’t blame me!
