Chaoyang Palace has been transformed from the inside out. At this moment, no one except the people in the palace knows why King Mingwu has a hidden disease that causes sudden death.
The imperial hospital said with certainty that King Ming Wu suffered a sudden illness and died. Although the officials were full of suspicion, they all smelled the danger. Everyone was dead, so there was no reason to cause trouble again. They all pretended not to know what happened and lamented.
Li Xuanxu died young.
Pingshan was in danger, and King Mingwu entered the court. It seems unrelated, but there must be some connection behind it. I just don't know if Concubine Yun was involved in plotting against King Mingwu.
Li Luo sighed quietly, if Concubine Yun was really involved, would he forgive her or turn against Concubine Yun?
If Li Luo blocks Concubine Yun's path one day, Concubine Yun will not care about her old relationship, but Li Luo has no confidence.
Things that happen in the palace are very taboo, and they also involve conspiracy in the palace, so no one wants to mention it, but Li Luo doesn't want to let King Mingwu die in an unknown way.
There was something strange about Beizhu Palace that day. The maids in the palace said that Empress Fu Fei was quiet by nature and didn't like too many people around her, so there weren't many attendants in Beezhu Palace.
And this Empress Fu Fei had only entered the palace not long ago. She was able to win the favor of the emperor. It was not just a matter of luck, but maybe a plan that was set up from the beginning. It was not necessarily aimed at any prince, maybe it was King Mingwu, maybe it was Ji.
The king may be King Hui of England, or he may be Li Luo.
It is difficult to find any clues from the palace. Not to mention the people behind it, even Emperor Wanlong does not want to create any complications. If there are any flaws, he will either not care or cover them up.
When King Mingwu died, it cannot be said that the emperor killed the wrong person.
Li Luo thought to himself, the current situation is an opportunity, no one is pursuing this matter, the more you want to forget something, the easier it will be to let things slip and reveal your faults. For the current plan, we must start with Fu Fei's origins and see if there are any clues before she enters the palace.
Can be found.
As for the men in black in Pingshan, Li Luo had promised Le Shang to protect Wanhua Xiaoyuan, so as not to cause trouble again, lest a dog jump over the wall in a hurry and kill King An.
Li Luo pondered for a long time. His every move in Zhuocheng was being monitored. If he wanted to conduct a secret investigation, he could only rely on others.
It turns out that Shen Xiangdong has a brilliant mind, but he is just too far away. If any orders come from the Guannan camp, it may be a little late. Moreover, Shen Xiangdong's big tree attracts the wind. Once he arrives in Zhuocheng, others will pay attention. Acting in secret is just empty talk.
Although Zhai Liaoyu has a lot of experience, he still lacks a thorough layout.
Li Luo's heart moved. There was another person in Mu Tianlang's army whose intelligence was not inferior to that of Li Luo and Shen Xiangdong. How could he have been forgotten.
Yin Mohuai, Pei Pizhu, the genius that Yang Nancheng saw back then, if he had been strategizing in Zhuocheng, Li Luo would have attracted others' attention in the open, built plank roads in the open and secretly visited Chencang, and relied on Yin Mohuai's talents and knowledge to calmly arrange the arrangements.
Just pick it up at your fingertips.
Li Luo pondered deeply, Yin Mohuai's stay in the Guannan camp would not be of much use at this time, so it would be better to come to Zhuocheng secretly and deal with the situation in Zhuocheng with him both openly and secretly.
Li Luo is also at a loss now. He has the Inspection Department, the Tiannan Song Family, the East Prefectures, and Shangfu, which was added to the East China Sea Islands. Although there is no major chaos in the Western Regions, there are endless wars, plus the imminent Caohai Overlord.
I really don't have the energy to weigh it carefully.
Among all these disturbances, the struggle for power in Yi Zhuo City is the most labor-intensive. It is more troublesome than fighting on the battlefield. If you are not careful, you will end up like King Mingwu. If Yin Mohuai has a plan to share the worries, Li Luo will
This will free up your hands and feet to plan for further things.
Li Luo thought about this, thought about it briefly, wrote a letter, and asked Yin Mohuai to return to Zhuocheng to lend a helping hand.
In Zhuocheng, no matter who dies, as long as it is not the emperor who dies, no one will care about it in a short time.
The funeral ceremony of King Mingwu still had to be held, but it was not very grand and did not have the pomp and ceremony that a prince should have. But at this time, news came that the Guya delegation had come to pay a visit.
Emperor Wanlong was happy to see what had happened. Although he did not say so clearly, the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were already very good at observing people's behavior. They quietly restrained their efforts and made the funeral of King Mingwu a shabby, simple and hasty affair.
Li Luo went to the imperial mausoleum to burn a stick of incense. Li Xuanxu could not enter the middle hall of the imperial mausoleum, so he found a tomb in the corner and sealed it up.
Li Luo sighed secretly, if it wasn't for the purpose of deceiving others, I'm afraid Li Xuanxu might not even be qualified to be buried in the imperial mausoleum.
There were very few people in the palace. Among the princes, except Li Luo, only the King of Wisdom, Li Xuanze, came.
Li Luo was quite surprised. He did not expect that Li Xuanze would give King Mingwu a ride.
When Li Luo came over, Li Xuanze was already here. In addition to King Hui, Queen Yi was also in front of the imperial mausoleum.
Instead of offering sacrifices to the young, Empress Yi simply changed into plain clothes and looked lonely and sadly at the tomb where Li Xuanxu was to be buried not far away.
The servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who were doing chores nearby had their heads lowered and were coming and going in a hurry. No one said a word, and no one was willing to say a word to comfort the queen.
Li Luo sighed sadly, it was so deserted here, I wonder if Li Xuanxu would feel at ease when he left.
When Li Xuanze saw Li Luo, he bowed his head and said something to Queen Yi beside him in a low voice.
Queen Yi moved slightly, and after a few breaths, she slowly turned around, looked at Li Luo indifferently, and said calmly: "His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince is here too."
Li Luo returned the salute and said harmoniously: "Yes, Queen, Xuanlou, come and see the third brother."
Empress Yi smiled indifferently and said: "Empress? I'm afraid it won't be long before my title will be given to someone else."
Li Luo was speechless. Although Emperor Wanlong did not say it explicitly, he was afraid that he already had the intention to depose the queen, otherwise Concubine Yun would not have the intention to compete for the position of queen.
Li Luo sighed secretly and said softly: "The Queen is so dignified and decent. How could the Emperor do this?"
Queen Yi snorted coldly and said lightly: "When did His Highness Ninth Prince become a person who doesn't mean what he means?"
Li Luo was speechless, and Queen Yi laughed at herself and said: "This is Zhuocheng, how could I have such childish ideas? Everyone in the palace is not speaking the same mind, and they are double-dealing. There are many treacherous people, and His Highness Ninth Prince is like this."
Nothing."
Li Luo was slightly startled. Queen Yi's words were filled with anger and seemed to be a bit resentful. Perhaps she blamed Li Luo for not rescuing Li Xuanxu and blamed Li Luo for what happened to Li Xuanxu.
Li Xuanze said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the ninth brother also cares about your Majesty and doesn't want her to be so upset. There is no other intention."
"Oh, that's because I misunderstood Your Highness the Ninth Highness." Queen Yi lost her hatred and said with a cold expression.
