On the seventeenth day of the first month of the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, Xiaoxue and Li Zhen, the king of Yue, made an appointment with the Pei family in Luozhou. The emperor gave five hundred gold, eight hundred silver, and several pieces of jade. As for other basins, dishes, jars and other household items, they were all arranged by the prince.
The only thing that makes some people confused about the routine system is the edict of amnesty for the whole country, which clearly declares that the amnesty is due to the decision of King Li Zhen of Yue. There is something fishy here - according to the Tang system, the prince decided to give rewards.
Household items and other items are common practice. The more favored prince can add more gold, silver and other items, but there is no reason to grant amnesty to the world for this. Not to mention the prince, even placing it on the prince's head seems a bit awkward and unnecessary.
As usual, the prince's wedding was a general pardon, but the decision was not so solemn. All of this had to make people wonder about the strangeness, so various versions of rumors in Chang'an quietly spread again.
Together with the weird atmosphere in the capital at this time, it is even more intriguing.
The ceremony of making a decision was held with great grandeur. Li Zhen should be overjoyed, but actually, she was suffering from a headache at the moment. After finishing the work of making a decision, she did not bother to hang out with Pei Yan for a while, and rushed to the ground.
He hurried back to his palace. He didn't even have time to take a sip of tea. He didn't care that the two counselors stayed up all night discussing with him last night. He called both counselors to the study and looked a little ugly today.
After talking about everything that had been decided, he finally asked angrily: "Isn't your father deliberately causing trouble?"
Nalong frowned and said hesitantly: "The Holy Spirit's move must have a profound meaning, otherwise it would be impossible to make such a big noise at this time. Hmm, is it possible - the Holy Spirit has already made such a big move?"
You have silently decided on the candidate for the crown prince, and now you are using His Highness as a target to attract the attention of the princes?"
Huh? Damn, it seems that there is a real possibility. Damn it, the old man obviously did this on purpose. Damn it, the old man must have chosen the fourth boy. I wonder if the old man has informed the fourth boy.
If he had already said that he was going to go out, then things would probably change, and all the things discussed before him would be invalid! When Li Zhen heard Nalong's words, his heart suddenly shuddered, and his face was already ugly.
Suddenly he became a little more gloomy, pacing back and forth in the study with a livid complexion, without saying a word for a long time.
"Your Highness, don't be anxious. I think what Brother Na said is true, but I predict that although the Sacred Heart is determined, it may not reveal anything about it. This is true, but I'm afraid your Highness will have a sad life now."
Li Zhen could see where Li Zhen was troubled at a glance and chuckled.
"Oh? How can you see that?" Li Zhen stopped, raised her brows, and asked in confusion.
"What's so hard to guess?" Li Li said with a smile: "Your Highness, at this moment in the capital, all the monsters and monsters are jumping out. When the gong is about to sound, how can any theatergoer run out to interrupt the good show?
The reason for the play is, firstly, secondly, some people think that although the Holy Heart has been roughly determined, the Holy One is actually not completely satisfied with the person chosen, so naturally he wants to take another look and compare. Thirdly,
, His Highness is not a candidate for succession in the eyes of the Holy One, but he is the backbone of the country. The Holy One wants to see if His Highness can do his best in the changing times. With these three things in mind, His Highness just stick to it.
Just do what you think, and we’ll figure it all out in the future.”
Damn, the mainstay? Hey, the old man is really kind and arranged such a role for us. Ha, damn, you are always good at being a director, but we don’t have to act according to your script. ***, let’s go.
Look! Li Zhen naturally understood the unfinished meaning of what Mo Li said. Without him, in the years when there were direct descendants and no direct descendants, as a concubine and an unlucky old man, if he wanted to climb the
Under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible to get a high position, unless all the legitimate sons are in trouble and all the brothers are dead, otherwise Li Zhen can only watch helplessly. As for the bullshit pillar, he has already
It's the best arrangement, but if it really falls into that same category and the old man is here, then it's okay to say that once the old man dies and the new king comes to power, the one who wants to be killed is Li Zhen, the "backbone". Now Li
Li Zhen can be said to be dancing on the cliff. Whether she can get through it depends on how well Li Zhen dances.
"That's all, let's not talk about it anymore." Li Zhen frowned and waved her hand: "Two gentlemen, there is news from Menxia Province that the imperial edict has arrived in Menxia Province. Well, the news about Hou Guoxiao being the deputy envoy recommended by the boss
The old man is right. He said that I will lead two hundred Yulin troops to Qizhou to announce the decree. If my estimate is correct, the decree will arrive later today, and I will have to leave early tomorrow morning. There will be a lot of danger on the other side of the Rising Sun.
Is everything arranged?"
"Your Majesty, the arrangements have been made according to your instructions, but..." After Nalong said this, he paused before continuing: "It's just that the 'Eagle Group' and 'Yan Group' have gone to the inn. I'm afraid there are too many people around the Prince."
It's a bit thin, can you bring back the 'Eagle Group'?"
The next trip to Qizhou was bound to be a series of fierce battles. Li Zhen knew this well. Although Li Zhen thought that her martial arts skills were passable, she also knew that she was not invincible. She had no idea whether to transfer to the "Eagle Group"
Back to the side, in fact, Li Zhen herself is also very contradictory. Without him, Pei Yan and his family are all just useless scholars. Even if Pei Datong is a military officer now, he is still a scribe and has nothing to do with his subordinates.
Outstanding talents have no chance of survival once they are attacked. Once there is a commotion in Qizhou, there is no guarantee that the princes from the capital will come to surround Wei and save Zhao, or jump over the wall in a hurry. How dare Li Zhen to "
Eagle Group" was transferred back.
"That's inappropriate." After pondering for a long time, Li Zhen still shook her head and refused: "The Pei family is also very important. I, the king, should be more careful to keep himself safe." Li Zhen's words were obviously a bit lacking in confidence. Nalong and Nalong
Li Mo Li looked at each other, each of them smiled bitterly, but they couldn't persuade him. The room immediately became quiet. After a while, Li Li raised his head and said: "Your Highness, someone has a plan, which can bring out the 'Eagle'."
group' and ensure the safety of the princess."
"Oh? Tell me." When Li Zhen heard this, her heart suddenly moved and she hurriedly asked.
"Your Highness, Princess Gaoyang owed the prince a favor last time, and now it's time to repay it. The prince will be away from Beijing for a while, and the palace is empty. Why not invite Princess Gaoyang to come to the house?
Come and take charge of the housework, and then Princess Gaoyang will come forward to invite the princess into the palace to chat. In this way, others will have nothing to talk about. What does your highness think?" Li Li said with a smile.
Ha, this is a good idea. It just avoids those bullshit ethics. Hey, even if others want to gossip, we don’t bother to pay attention! Li Zhen raised her eyebrows, smiled and said: "Okay, I will find Gao Yang now.
Go, this damn girl reported something evil to me, and if she doesn’t return the favor this time, I will deal with her hard." With the manpower problem solved, Li Zhen’s mood immediately improved.
He laughed, waved his hand, strode out of the study, and went directly to discuss with Princess Gaoyang...
Two flowers bloomed, one on each side. Not to mention that Li Zhen was busy making arrangements there. At this time, Wu King Li Ke was also discussing matters with a group of confidants, and what they discussed was also the matter of Qizhou.
King Wu Li Ke has always been a person who pays great attention to appearance. Even if he has something on his mind, he will not lose his composure in front of others because of it. He always behaves like a humble gentleman. However, since the case of Danianzhuang, he has not slept with a good person in three days.
Li Ke, who felt that he had lost all that elegant leisure and ease, his eyes turned red, glanced at the few confidants around him, and said with a gloomy face: "You gentlemen must already know that the imperial edict will be issued today.
, Xiaoba’s mission to Qizhou has become a foregone conclusion, and now that the crown prince is making frequent moves, I am worried that things may change, so I’ll tell you what you think.”
Prince Sima Linhe has always been the person in charge of "Size", and he has always been in charge of the contact with Lao Wu and Lao Liu. At this time, he listened to King Wu's question and stood up hurriedly: "Your Highness, I have already
After sending the news, the King of Qi and the King of Shu have made arrangements, and we are just waiting for His Highness’s order to start taking action.”
"That's good." Li Ke nodded noncommittally, but did not continue to talk about this topic. Instead, he looked at a scholar in Tsing Yi who was sitting in the corner, always closing his eyes and concentrating, and asked very politely.
: "Mr. Lingqi, what do you think?"
Lingqi, whose real name is Ye Ling, also named Songcheng, also known as Lingqi, is from Jiangzhou. She was a Jinshi in the ninth year of Zhenguan, but she never entered the court as an official. Instead, she entered the palace of Wu King Li Ke as a guest minister.
He never talks much, but every word hits the mark. He has always been the advisor to King Wu Li Ke. From the time of the Nianzhuang case to now, Ye Ling has never said a word. At this time, when he heard Li Ke ask, he saw Ye Ling's face twitching*
, finally opened his eyes, looked at Li Ke as sharply as a knife, and said calmly: "The sky is going to change!"
"Changing the sky?" Li Ke was stunned for a moment and asked hesitantly: "Sir, what you mean is..."
Ye Ling sneered and said: "The Crown Prince is about to die, and the King of Qi and the King of Shu will inevitably die. If His Highness cannot make good use of this opportunity, the consequences will be the same!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole room was shocked, and all the counselors immediately started uproaring. Only King Wu Li Ke's face darkened, he frowned, looked at Ye Ling and said, "Sir, please make some plans for me, one or two."
"Okay!" Ye Ling glanced at Li Ke thoughtfully, and analyzed calmly: "It is common knowledge that the prince is dissatisfied with the prince, and it is a foregone conclusion that the prince will be deposed. If someone had predicted correctly, this situation might be...
According to the Holy Spirit, the King of Yue is just a stick to stir up trouble. He has no chance of ascending to the throne. There is no secret in this matter. Now, only the King of Wei and His Highness are eligible to enter the East Palace.
But now King Wei is afraid that he has the upper hand. If King Wei handles it properly, the position of the East Palace will definitely belong to him. As for His Highness, he is just an alternative for now. In the current situation, the only way is to drag King Wei into the water. Your Highness
You can give it a try."
"Oh?" Li Ke nodded thoughtfully. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the plan?"
"It's because of His Royal Highness the King of Yue!" Ye Ling said calmly: "If the prince wants to turn defeat into victory, he can only take advantage of the chaos. The more chaos, the more beneficial it is to the prince. It should be like this..."
After listening to Ye Ling's words, Li Ke fell into deep thought. After a long time, he said loudly: "Well, let's do what you want, sir, and pass on the order: Operation Tianwu will start immediately!" dd
