Li Mu's recent performance has been too eye-catching, and the limelight has overwhelmed the prince. Li Linfu likes Li Mu who suddenly appears and is very close to him. He can suppress the prince and is equivalent to his own sharp blade.
However, the princes fight among themselves and the outcome is tragic. Even if Li Heng is overthrown, Li Mu may not be able to ascend to the throne.
Maybe, Li Mu might even become cannon fodder and die the worst possible death.
They can work together, but Li Linfu is still hesitant to marry his beloved daughter to him. If Li Mu becomes a victim and his daughter's life is ruined, this is the second best, and it will not be worth it if his family is affected.
Li Linfu thought a lot, and his expression became uncertain.
"Kong'er, don't worry, let me think about it carefully. After all, the situation here is very complicated. I'm not sure whether His Majesty can grant a marriage. I need to find a suitable opportunity and a suitable person to advise His Majesty."
Mrs. Jiang smiled and said: "Master, since Kong'er is interested, you can follow her wishes. Your Majesty, find someone you can talk to. Your Majesty, thinking of Master's merits, shouldn't dismiss it. After all, he is just a prince?"
Li Tengkong said coquettishly: "That's right. Dad is the prime minister and he always gives orders. Who dares to disobey you? Anyway, my daughter has made up her mind and she will wait for her dad to make it happen."
Li Linfu chuckled and said: "Okay, you mother and daughter, don't force me, I know it well, you go out first, come here, come here, I will see you off."
It was rare for Li Linfu to be so gentle. He held one in each hand and sent mother and daughter out of the study.
Wang Fei had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw the two women leaving, he hurriedly followed Li Linfu in.
Wang Xian approached Li Linfu and said softly: "En Xiang, there is news from the east."
Li Linfu snorted and asked, "Did you come so quickly?"
Wang Xian said: "Enxiang was furious. Lu Xuan, the Minister of War, knew what was going on this time. He rushed the paperwork in eight hundred miles and urgently summoned Pei Yun, the Protector of the Andong Protectorate, to come to Beijing to report on his duties. Pei Yun was already on his way back to Beijing.
.”
Li Linfu asked: "What are your plans?"
Wang He whispered: "En Xiang, I have sent people to wait on the road. In short, Pei Yun cannot be allowed to enter the capital." Wang He made a gesture of wiping his neck.
"Do it neatly,"
"Please rest assured, Mr. En, except for the various traces of Dong Gong left at the scene, everything is clean. This time, Dong Gong's charge of colluding with the generals has been proven. Let's see how he defends himself." Wang Fei said proudly.
Li Linfu stroked his beard and said: "This is just the first step. Wei Jian will add more fire and roast the Lord of the East Palace all at once, allowing them to share the food."
Wang Xian cupped his hands and said, "Yes, what Enxiang said is absolutely true. I have been planning Wei Jian's place for many days, waiting for things to happen at the same time, so that the East Palace will be in chaos and have no time to take care of them, and I will overthrow them in one fell swoop."
Li Linfu nodded and looked out the window with a cold and cruel look on his face.
It seems that all the plans are progressing steadily according to the expected rhythm. Pei Yun is an unlucky guy, so he inexplicably plays the role of the first dead son, bringing down the prince Li Heng and avenging him. How happy it is.
"Who will succeed the new master of the East Palace?" Li Linfu muttered to himself.
In Li Linfu's conspiracy, Li Mu was originally a pawn, but because of his beloved daughter Li Tengkong's obsession, Li Linfu had to reconsider how to reshuffle and sort the twenty-odd princes after Li Heng fell.
Li Mu was picked up first by Li Linfu and placed at the front.
Seeing Li Linfu muttering, Wang X asked cautiously: "En Xiang, are there any other difficulties?"
Li Linfu turned around, frowned at Wang Zhi, and asked: "After Li Heng, who will aspire to the East Palace?"
Wang Fei chuckled and said, "It all depends on the wishes of Enxiang."
Li Linfu smiled and said: "Last time, I failed. This time, I have defeated Li Heng. Let's see who else can fight against me?"
Wang Xian said: "En Xiang is very clever in strategizing and seizing the opportunity. Recently, His Majesty's thoughts are not in the court. He has not been in court for several days. All civil and military officials are controlled by En Xiang. No one dares to object to En Xiang's words."
"
Li Linfu grinned and said: "Your Majesty's thoughts are all on that woman now. It's absolutely impossible. A woman that your son has played with. His Majesty is so enthusiastic and I am very confused. It doesn't matter. Your Majesty followed his wish and I took advantage of it."
It’s a big deal.”
Wang Fei said flatteringly: "Thank you for your help, everything is going as expected. The next step will definitely be good news."
Li Linfu nodded and said: "Wang Fei, you speak and act resolutely. When you come to show your talents in the future, I still have a private matter that I can't decide. You can think about it and see how to deal with it best."
Li Linfu mentioned the matter about his daughter. Wang Zhi and Li Linfu had seen the situation between Li Mu and Li Tengkong yesterday, and they had already had an idea in their minds.
Wang Xian blurted out, "Enxiang, His Highness the Twenty-first Prince, has been in the limelight recently, and according to Wei Chen's observation, His Highness the Prince respects and admires Enxiang, and risked his life to save the Second Young Master. Now that the Second Young Lady favors him so much, is it possible that he is so favored by the Second Young Master?"
Is it God’s will that His Highness the Prince and En Xiangxian become a son-in-law?”
"Hahaha, hahaha," Li Linfu raised his head and laughed, "Wang Fei, you said it well. I am still hesitating. I was reminded by your words. It is indeed what God meant. Wang Fei, you should find a suitable candidate as soon as possible.
Please Your Majesty grant Kong'er a marriage, and then we will do our best to support the twenty-first prince to ascend to the throne."
Wang Xian smiled and said: "En Xiang's move kills three eagles with one stone, which really makes Wei Chen admire him. Wei Chen will do it immediately according to En Xiang's wishes."
"Well, good, good, Kong'er got what he wanted, and I will have something to rely on in the future. This is the best thing, the best thing, hahaha."
Li Linfu had never been so happy. He overthrew Li Heng, supported Li Mu, and asked his Majesty to grant his daughter a marriage. As expected, everyone was happy.
Li Mu never dreamed that he would be fooling around in the house, with his power and status being controlled by someone behind the scenes, and even women would be settled for him.
Li Mu could not imagine such a beautiful thing, nor dared to think about it.
When I got up early in the morning, even if I had to go out, I didn't delay practicing swordsmanship with Li Bai. Just like yesterday, Li Bai attacked again, forcing Li Mu to fight with all his strength, and tried to escape in various ways.
Fortunately, today, Li Bai did not pierce his clothes again, and he did it very delicately. In the end, Li Mu actually escaped from Li Bai's pursuit more than fifty times.
The number of times he was stabbed also dropped sharply to less than a hundred times.
Li Bai was very satisfied and gave Li Mu a smile of approval for the first time.
Li Mu, however, was not happy at all and complained: "Xiaobai, you died twice and only had one chance to escape. This is something to be proud of? If you really meet a ruthless opponent, you won't have such a good disciple?"
Can you let me escape twice and die once? Can I have a higher chance of survival?"
Li Bai said: "Today's performance has basically eliminated the possibility of being killed, because, looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, I have never seen a more terrifying opponent than Li Bai."
Li Mu was shocked when Li Bai didn't blush when he boasted for the first time.
"Xiao Bai, do you mean that you are the best sword god in the world? Are you really the sword god and poet as the legend says?"
Li Bai said calmly: "There is no first in literature, no second in martial arts. Li Bai can boast of being second in the world. Haha, why are I telling you this today? Let's go, you can take care of yourself."
Li Mu was overjoyed and said to Li Bai's back: "Xiao Bai, you are not bragging. You are giving me confidence. I will not embarrass you."
Li Bai didn't speak anymore. He already felt that he was arrogant and revealed his own strength to Li Mu. He lost the modest and reserved cold arrogance of a scholar and looked very tacky.
Li Mu's mood was just the opposite of Li Bai's. Li Mu's confidence increased after receiving Li Bai's approval. From now on, he would be proud of himself and become famous. That kind of style makes him excited just thinking about it.
Thinking of the excitement, Li Mu had forgotten his identity as a prince. A prince was the real dream of the world.
The two young eunuchs saw Li Mu shaking his head and one of them giggling, so they gathered around and reminded Li Mu to go back to wash up, change clothes, and have breakfast.
Li Mu chuckled and said: "I was so happy that I almost forgot that we will leave soon. You two, go and prepare your luggage. I will take you with me and go out together later."
"Really?" The two little guys seemed to be dreaming. They immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Li Mu. Then they ran away to pack their luggage, fearing that if they were too slow, Li Mu would regret it.
After breakfast, five large carriages slowly left the Prince's Mansion and meandered towards the north of the city. At the front were Yang Zhao and two young eunuchs, who were responsible for leading the way and taking care of all the journey and life.
In the middle were Li Mu and Qing'er. In order to balance the relationship, Li Mu specially asked Cai Cai to sit with them. Cai Cai was naturally surprised, but Qing'er pouted and could only obey.
Behind them are five dancers, all wearing men's clothes, looking delicate and cute.
At the end were two carriages containing various clothing, food and drink supplies. Each carriage had two coachmen, and the entire team was exactly twenty-one. Li Mu was secretly surprised.
On a business trip, he was accompanied by more than 20 people, including seven or eight beautiful girls. Li Mu liked this lineup very much. It was stylish and interesting. He even brought a big beauty with him when he came back. It was so delicious!
When Li Mu and his party left the north gate, they were suddenly stopped by a group of people. Li Mu saw that they were all wearing casual clothes, but from their skill and aura, it was also clear that this group of people were definitely experts.
