Chapter 718: Courage

Concubine Li knew that the Zhao family and the Queen Mother secretly joined forces, and the Queen Mother and the Yongguo Mansion repeatedly blocked the emperor's change of fiefdom, so she knew that Chongzhou must be tired.

Chongzhou has been peaceful for so many years, as soon as the emperor changed his fiefdom, he began to make trouble, and the prince took the initiative to ask Ying to suppress the bandits when Princess Qingrou was married, he was a prince who had never even left Kyoto, did he know how to suppress bandits?

It's not clear that this is to pick up credit, such a good thing, she naturally has to find a way to mix it up.

It's just that no matter how coquettish she is, the emperor is unmoved, and if she says a few more words, the emperor is even angry, and Concubine Li dispelled this idea.

After returning to Zhaoyang Palace from the imperial study, Concubine Li Guifei instructed the palace maid, "Please invite Grandpa Guo to enter the palace." ”

Over there, the palace maid sent someone to pass the protector into the palace, and here Li Guifei and Concubine Liu Xian and a few concubines discussed how to hold a birthday banquet for the queen mother.

After marrying into the palace for so many years, the emperor's birthday banquet and the queen's birthday banquet have participated in a lot, but because the Beiliang envoy wants to come to congratulate the birthday, this birthday banquet naturally has more tricks, and she can't lose the royal face, she has to guard against letting Queen Zhao make it bad, otherwise if she loses the person of Da Zhou in front of the Beiliang envoy, the phoenix seal in her hand will not be kept.

And time was tight, and they didn't have time to think slowly.

After a cursory discussion, Concubine Li asked several concubines to go back and think about what good ideas they had.

After they left, it was only a quarter of an hour before the family and the protector came.

The Lord Protector didn't know what was going on, and said worriedly, "The concubine summoned the ministers into the palace, but what happened?"

The Duke of Protector gave Li Guifei a salute, and Li Guifei hurriedly helped him up and said, "Father doesn't have to be polite, I came to my father because I have something to discuss with you." ”

The protector sat down, the palace maid served tea, except for the most trusted grandmother, the palace maids and eunuchs all retreated, and Li Guifei said, "Chongzhou is in trouble, and the emperor sent the prince to suppress the bandits." ”

The Protector frowned, "Send the crown prince?"

Li Guifei nodded, "I don't know why the emperor did this, but I asked the third prince and the prince to go together, but the emperor didn't agree, the prince rarely left Beijing, such a good opportunity, you must not miss it." ”

In the past, Empress Zhao was in charge of the palace, Concubine Li Guifei's hand could not reach into the East Palace, and murdered the prince in the palace, even if she did it without leakage, Queen Zhao would bite her and pull her to make her back.

But it is different from the palace, the assassin calculated the prince, Queen Zhao and the Zhao family have not found out who calculated the prince, the county lord of Changle was killed, and there are no clues, Li Guifei feels that the power of the Zhao family and the queen mother is very general.

and in the palace, the East Palace was burned, and the assassins held Princess Qingrou hostage, but they were not caught.

There is also a departure from the palace, and even the imperial tomb was broken into by assassins......

It's all a bunch of paper tigers.

She used to be too timid, she was afraid of this and that, she would live so hard, as soon as the prince died, at the age of Empress Zhao, she could not have another prince, and the position of the prince was naturally the third prince.

Originally, the three princes were also stuffed, and someone was sent to assassinate them halfway, the crown prince was killed, and the third prince was seriously injured, which can also clear her suspicion......

Once the crown prince has an accident and the third prince is injured, he will definitely not continue to move forward and really go to Chongzhou.

No matter how stupid she is, she won't know that Chongzhou is a tiger's den in Longtan for the three princes and the Protector Mansion, and she can't break in.

However, the emperor didn't agree, and Concubine Li couldn't help it.

said that it was a discussion, but in fact, Concubine Li Guifei had already made up her mind, and she said, "Since Empress Zhao agreed to let the crown prince go, she will definitely be fully prepared, and this matter must be done secretly." ”

She didn't want the prince to be eliminated, but instead put the Protector Mansion in.

This is the best time to get rid of the crown prince, and the protector also knows that although he has taken a little risk, since he has chosen to compete with the prince for the position above 10,000 people, he is destined to be sacrificed.

Either the prince dies or they die.

The protector could not stay in the harem for a long time, and after less than half a cup of tea, he retired.

He didn't go to see the emperor, but when he returned to the Protector's Mansion, as soon as he got off the horse, the little servant said, "Grandpa Guo is back, Muyang Hou has been waiting for you for a while." ”

The Protector was a little surprised, why did Muyang Hou come back to him?

Is it to discuss family affairs?

If you really discuss family affairs, you won't consult with him.

I'm afraid that if there is, the Protector hurriedly went to see Muyang Hou.

In the main hall, Muyanghou was drinking tea, and when he heard footsteps, he put down the teacup, stood up, and walked a few steps forward to see the Protector of the Country, and the Protector of the Country, "How can Muyanghou have time to come to my Protector's Mansion to sit, if there is anything, let's go to the study and say." ”

Muyang Hou went to the study with the Protector of the Kingdom, and as soon as he stepped into the study, Mu Yanghou said, "The Protector of the Kingdom entered the palace for the prince to go to Chongzhou to suppress bandits?"

Huguo Gong's footsteps stopped, looked at Muyang Hou and said, "Mu Hou Ye is here for this?"

Muyang Hou nodded, "It's for this purpose." ”

The Duke of Huguo didn't think that the prince went to Chongzhou to suppress bandits, there was something that Muyang Hou needed to discuss with him, did Mu Yanghou also think that this was the best opportunity to get rid of the prince?

Muyang Hou should not think about the third prince because his son married his granddaughter, there must be other reasons, the Protector looked at Mu Yang Hou in confusion for a while, "Mu Hou Ye may as well say it directly." ”

Muyang Hou said bluntly, "This time it was the decision of the emperor and the king to let the prince go to Chongzhou, and it was the king who asked me to come to find the grandfather of the country." ”

The Duke of Protector's brows furrowed into twisted, "Did the emperor and the prince let the prince go?"

Muyang Hou nodded, "I don't know why the emperor and the prince did this, but there must be a deep meaning." ”

The prince must have guessed that the Protector would not let go of such a good opportunity, which would inevitably ruin the good things between him and the emperor, so let him come and say hello, after all, the Muyang Marquis Mansion and the Protector Mansion are about to become in-laws, and he will not be too suspicious when he comes to the door.

If you leave the king and go to the Protector's Mansion, the court will shake a few times.

The frowning brows of the Protector were loosened, and he said, "The concubine just passed me into the palace, it is indeed to discuss this matter, she is afraid that the Zhao family deliberately led our government and the third prince to take the bait, let me not act rashly, try to find out the inside story, there is the Marquis of Lao Mu personally came to the door to inform, and I and the concubine are also cranky." ”

Although Muyang Hou will not harm the Protector Mansion, but the prince is the prince after all, and the Protector Mansion and Li Guifei intend to assassinate the prince, which is a capital crime and cannot be admitted with great arrogance.

Muyang Hou just passed the word, he said, "Grandpa Guo knows it in his heart, then I will leave first." ”

The Protector smiled, "I'll send you out of the house." ”

Besides, the Zhao family, after learning the news that the prince went to Chongzhou to suppress bandits, was first angry, feeling that the prince was too capricious, and he didn't discuss such a big matter with them in advance, so he hurriedly took the errand on his body.

But Zhao Yi felt that the prince did this very well, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, if you can catch the handle of the Protector's Mansion this time, the three princes who can be suppressed can't turn over, and the prince's trick to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle is really not to be underestimated." ”

Mrs. Zhao also felt that she had underestimated the prince before, and she didn't see that he was brave and knowledgeable.

But this kind of courage is not a good thing for the Zhao family......

In particular, recently, the crown prince has begun to frequently woo courtiers, and his words have become more and more deaf ears.
