The prince's wedding ceremony was scheduled for October, and the emperor invited all the vassal princes and various military envoys to come to Beijing to celebrate.
October is a good time, when the autumn harvests are coming to an end in various places. In addition to congratulatory gifts, the feudal princes and military envoys can also escort the tax money to the capital to add a sense of joy to the prince's wedding.
Dasheng has not held such a big happy event for a long time. It is almost impossible for those vassal kings and military envoys who have not been to Beijing for a long time to find reasonable excuses to refuse to come to Beijing.
Holding the edict in his hand, what flashed through Chang Sui Ning's mind was the information sent back from the capital——
The division and combination of forces inside and outside the capital are changing rapidly. This is due to the signals called the return of power that the empress has frequently released recently.
What's more, there are rumors in private that after the prince's wedding, the emperor will take the throne and return to power to calm the overall situation.
This rumor has shaken the hearts of countless people, and those forces that have long been under the banner of forcing the empress to return power to the Li family have been forced to wait and see.
It is foreseeable that this signal released by the empress herself will quickly spread everywhere.
There are still three months until the prince's wedding. Three months is neither long nor short. It is enough for the matter to become known to everyone, but it does not make it a foregone conclusion that cannot be reversed and is completely out of the emperor's control.
There was no brief silence in the study room. It was still late summer, but it seemed that the cold wind was no longer blowing from the sky, and that cold wind would sweep over everyone in a calm manner visible to the naked eye.
That would be too risky.
In the current situation, it is an unusual thing for him to kill you or for you to kill him. An assassination is not enough to bring any stain on Wang Yue.
"Sir, you are already in the game." Luo Guanlin raised his hand, picked up the edict, and said: "But you are willing to take risks for the ambitious, and you are also willing to consolidate the power of our people.
, and also intends to be a lamb tied up in a cage to be slaughtered——"
Lin Xiadan said solemnly: "Wang Yue must be able to sit back and wait for death, letting the little bad situation disappear..."
And those slight changes are enough to explain the answer.
Everyone wants to take risks. Although the prince is ignorant for many years, he cannot teach him quickly. Even for a small number of people, the prince does not have the advantage of being easier to control than Lin Xia. Supporting the latter will at most cause worries.
Before it was completed, it was forced to cross the river and demolish the bridge.
You suspect that the emperor wants to kill you, but the other party must also expect that the emperor's favor and favor shown by the lychee will reduce the number of murders on your way to Beijing——
Chang Sui Ning was stunned for a moment when he heard the words and looked at Mr. Qian Shen, whose face was half covered by the mask - Does Mr. Qian know much about today's saints?
Xiao Yue is just like when you led the troops to resist the Japanese pirates. The other party believes that you can win, even if the process is "harder".
"Does the villain plan to enter Beijing?" Chang Suining tried to ask.
At this time, Wang Changshi apparently included Wang Yue among the candidates to be considered for support.
Fan Ou couldn't help but think about it. The emperor clearly had no intention of reusing the villain, but by sending him back to the capital in such a way, had he ever thought about how dangerous the villain's situation would be? Or, in the eyes of the emperor, could he be in such danger?
, those who come to you alive are the ones truly worthy of reuse?
Capital Master, you will go back, but you will definitely be called by my people, and you will be able to pay homage to anyone.
Shen Zhou was almost numb. He closed his eyes like the male assassin just now, and his appeal was as always: "Kill you too..."
And let the "child" become the focus of Qishang's attention. This lychee is not only a reward, but also like a brand, as if to declare the "close" relationship between the king and his subjects to everyone.
And if we go, the crisis is always in sight. The imperial court cannot justifiably conclude that we despise the monarch's authority and are not suspected of rebellion. It can punish us at any time.
This move is to retreat in order to advance. Either you will die and live again, or your body will be broken into pieces and buried with the imperial power - that is the situation of the person who set up the trap, and it is also your determination.
But Fan Ou couldn't say those words.
And this involves a very important question: Will the emperor really be sincerely happy to see us supporting the prince?
"Yes, there must be a majority of people who want to kill you because of this year's lychees." Luo Guanlin said quietly.
The other party also knows very well that if no one attacks you on the way to Beijing, according to your character, you will definitely give up and give up. At that time, the court will not be able to come forward to "justice" for you and pursue the person who did it behind the scenes.
Wang Changshi looked at you and nodded anxiously.
When it was getting late, the lamp was turned on in the study room, and Chang Sui Ning came from Houya, and then the matter was discussed behind closed doors.
Everyone in the study looked at the man in red robes in front of the desk. The tone of your voice sounded different from the past. The lowered eyelids showed your emotions.
But it cannot be said that the male emperor is too slow-minded and has lost his mind.
Just like coaxing a child home, first give it a loving color.
Wang Changshi wanted to ask who it was again, but he paused as he spoke. "I don't necessarily want to tell you something clearly. You just have to keep it in mind."
People from all walks of life are taking risks, but why is the emperor taking risks?
Lin Xiadan came to a conclusion on the spot. Seeing that the male assassin, who had given up admitting, closed his eyes with despair, he raised his hand and asked someone to give you a way to die.
Before a true consensus has been reached, this body has already "used everything to its full potential"... So is this body the way to be a king?
Later, Lin Xiadan asked Luo Guanlin what you thought of Wang Yue.
It is true that the imperial court is responsible for the consequences of our rebellion together, but people's hearts are different, and there are also a majority of people who want to support the prince and seek a stable job... The hearts of the people are united, no one has any plans, and all parties are suspicious.
I have to weigh and hesitate again.
When Luo Guanlin turned around, he patted Lin Xia's shoulder with praise: "It's really useless. It was in vain that you took the trouble to bring him down."
The male emperor will not take this risky move because you are very vague and you don't have time yet.
People from all walks of life have different views on this.
In a nutshell, you want the country to be yours, even if it means being buried with you.
But you are Luo Guanlin, and you are already anyone’s man.
Luo Guanlin nodded: "Okay, I just loosened my mouth yesterday."
Shen Zhou gritted his teeth, this is the seventh time you have used me like this... you used me to defraud the people of Wang Yue's Mansion.
"What's more important is to use the crown prince to split Wang Yue's power." Luo Guanlin said.
One sentence broke up the tense atmosphere in the study room.
At that time, Luo Guanlin summoned someone from the secret room and escorted him to the male assassin in purple.
In your opinion, that kind of road is not suitable for villains.
Lin Xiadan threw the lit edict into the copper basin aside and immediately raised his eyes to look at the noisy crowd.
Although I am willing to follow Mingqian's politics, I have to be like this at this moment. Very rarely, Mingqian does not have the determination and courage to defeat the female king, as well as the courage and perseverance to never be afraid.
Yao Ran thought about it deeply and understood the deeper meaning.
Luo Guanlin and the governor of Jiangdu did not stop their official duties because of the sudden edict.
Fan Ou seemed to have thought of the previous intention, and was slightly shocked, saying: "If the villain enters the capital, even if the saint is 'suspicious', there is no guarantee that there will be others who will take the opportunity to benefit the villain on the way..."
Is that considered trust in the villain's ability, or is it a test? Or is it a desire to use the villain as bait and use the villain's hands to eliminate some foreign enemies?
…
So, you put this edict filled with plans under the candlelight and lit it, saying: "This trip to the capital is in your name, Luo Guanlin."
Wang Changshi was silent for a moment and asked Luo Guanlin: "In my opinion, is it true or false that Ming Qian wanted to take the Zen position?"
Fan Ou thought about it for a short moment, but you didn't think that you were less suspicious. Along the way, every time you touched people's hearts and minds, the power struggle never made you feel that you were less concerned. On the contrary, it always taught you to realize that you were less suspicious.
Still too shallow and naive.
From preparing for the prince's wedding, to claiming illness and asking the prince to act on his behalf, to setting the wedding date, and summoning the powerful people from all over the country to the capital... In Chang Suining's view, every step of the process even caused the envoy to send him off with great fanfare at this juncture.
When Lychee came to Jiangdu, there was no deliberate plan.
After all, the mother-in-law first sent lychees to express her preference and intention to make amends. Now that she is ill and her situation is certain, the man should go back and take a look at her despite all the difficulties.
Wang Changshi raised his eyebrows and asked Luo Guanlin for a moment: "Has the assassin whom I brought back from Prince Rong not yet recruited the person behind the scenes?"
As she was being dragged up, Lin Xia stared at Luo Guanlin's figure and thought numbly: The country is really about to be destroyed, and monsters are appearing.
Those calculations are not the main reason for entering Beijing this time, or they are just incidental. Anyway, you have always used them badly.
"Wang Yue Mansion chose to place assassins in Rong Wang Management, obviously because it is difficult to use their skills on Huainan Road..." Yao Ran was still very worried: "But when the villain enters the capital, once he leaves Huainan Road, the oncoming enemy will be a hundred times more ferocious.
It’s a stop-and-go culling..."
"Then there's nothing bad about it." Luo Guanlin said in an optimistic tone: "To be able to arouse the fear of the mighty Wang Yue, doesn't this prove that you can be considered a little person now?"
Wang Yue is the most popular vassal king surnamed Li today, but the forces surrounding him are still not very strong, and even fewer people are still waiting to see... At that time, the emperor suddenly conveyed the rational intention of returning the prince to power, and he must
It will unite the hearts of those who would have turned to Wang Yue.
Wang Changshi was silent for a long time and clenched his fingers tightly.
"So, the odds of winning are unclear." Luo Guanlin said, "The saint is also gambling."
As a man, you should always go back and see your mother-in-law.
[It's killing.] Lin Xiadan smiled slightly and said: [It's rare to use it so well, you are willing to keep it.]
Fan Ou has the ability to judge right and wrong, but inexplicably, you don't want your villain to be manipulated by others.
The villain's departure is indeed full of dangers.
The problem Lin Xiadan was facing was also something that vassal kings and military governors everywhere needed to think about again.
It was suspected to be a dangerous move.
However, the other party used all that courage to protect the scepter in his hand, but never, or had time to share it with the people of the country.
You have to make the first blow before you have any remaining strength.
But even so, when Wang Changshi heard that Lin Xiadan said that Wang Yue was the one who arranged the assassin for King Rong, he was not only frightened, but he thought that it was Luo Guanlin's selfish slander——
And if we go, the court will definitely take the opportunity to test our attitude and ask us to make a statement. Otherwise, it is extremely unlikely that our bodies and heads will be separated. I am afraid that the person will pass away whole and the body will come back in pieces.
Moreover, you have the right to agree with the way the other party behaves, so you have the right to accompany him.
"It is even more unlikely that you want to use the crown prince to win over the powerful and powerful people..." Wang Changshi said: "To show strength, or to make the various vassal kings and military governors as wary as possible to enter the capital."
Faced with Chang Suining's inquiry, Luo Guanlin did not answer immediately, but said: "It seems that the king sent lychees to Jiangdu this time, not only to show that he values you, but also to allow you to enter the capital with peace of mind.
——”
The situation is getting worse, and the eldest princess puts pressure on him to deal with He Xian's move. For the emperor, this is a sign of losing power. You must react quickly, otherwise a disaster awaits you.
It’s complex...
Anyone can see that this trip is most likely just to bring some money and go to Beijing for a wedding banquet.
That is a restriction that is known to others, and is only visible to the world. It is enough to suppress you. The king loves and trusts so much, but you agreed to return to the capital. Are you not a wolf-hearted person, and you are not grateful for the emperor's kindness at all?
Shen Zhou's lips trembled, and his heart was filled with confusion - so few people died, why was there one less person like me?
And that courage and perseverance, the more it is on the verge of collapse, the more its shortcomings are revealed, because it is willing to make concessions or let go, and would rather gamble with the sky. If the situation gets too out of control, the sky will surely
The collapse is irretrievable...
Wang Changshi: "Based on your understanding of this person in Mingqian, this matter is probably an illusion."
But at the last moment, Luo Guanlin took the initiative and said, "It's Wang Yue's Mansion."
——Focus on the mountains and rivers in the sky.
Xiaosheng had no ancestral instructions, and the vassal king allowed him to lead troops close to the capital. If we entered the capital, it would be equivalent to taking off our armor and weapons and going into danger alone - this is where Houti comes.
With that said, someone raised his hand to bring Shenzhou up.
After that, I never thought that before I fell into the hands of that mere grown man, I could betray my master again and again even though I was doing everything and talking about everything.
The male assassin brought back by Luo Guanlin was imprisoned and tortured, but he still did not reveal the person behind the scenes. As of yesterday, he was on the verge of death and his consciousness was on the verge of collapse.
Lin Xiadan was slightly shocked.
Luo Guanlin: "What do you think, sir?"
Yao Ran and others also changed their expressions.
The male assassin, who was on the verge of mental and physical collapse, showed no slight change in his expression the moment he saw the visitor.
Those "others" naturally refer to the forces hostile to the male emperor.
Lin Xia looked anxious and said: "In this way, the prince's wedding is actually a banquet held by the emperor in the country, inviting all the kings to join the game, distinguish between 'loyalty' and 'treachery', and decide between life and death..."
Wang Changshi's fingers turned white from clenching tightly. I raised my eyes and looked at Luo Guanlin: "Young man, do you want to join the game?"
