Chapter 35: Careful Planning
"On the other line, I plan to start with Prime Minister Li. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAlthough Li Daimei and King Beichen are married, it seems that Li Cheng is not satisfied with this son-in-law. Mo Ruqi said.
Xuan Ming was not worried, and said with some suspicion: "However, even if he is not satisfied, he is Li Daimei's husband and his son-in-law after all, will he really ignore his daughter and assist us in dealing with King Beichen?" ”
Yuwen Tongyi said affirmatively: "It is true that Prime Minister Li Cheng is not satisfied with Yuwen Junyan, and it is not false to love his daughter." Otherwise, it wouldn't have gotten to where it is today. But the two of them are not concerned about this matter, but have a long-standing grudge. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Mo Ruqi asked curiously, she didn't know much about this Prime Minister Li. only knew that he was Li Daimei's father, and he was worried about beware of collusion with King Beichen, but it was only from the banquet that he could see that his relationship with King Beichen was not good.
"Do you remember what Mu Ling said when he accused Prime Minister Li Cheng at the banquet that day?" Thinking of that day at the banquet, Prime Minister Li Cheng angrily accused King Beichen, and a smile flashed across King Zhongtong's face.
"Naturally, I remember." Mo Ruqi was very impressed by the outspoken Yuwen Muling: "She said that the reason why Prime Minister Li didn't like King Beichen was because he was only the king. Prime Minister Li Cheng is unwilling to let Li Daimei only be a princess, but wants Li Daimei to marry you or King Zhongsu, and Fengyi will be the world in the future. ”
Yuwen Tongyi waved the jade fan in his hand, nodded and said: "Lord Moge has a good memory, Prime Minister Li is one of the heroes who assisted my father to ascend the throne, which makes King Beichen hate Prime Minister Li all the time. And Prime Minister Li Cheng has always thought that he has worked hard and has always had greater ambitions, and has expressed to his father many times that Li Daimei will marry into the royal family, but Li Daimei is determined to marry King Beichen, so he has gone to this situation. ”
"Then according to what you said, there is no possibility of cooperation between Prime Minister Li and King Beichen?" Xuan Ming raised his eyebrows and asked, his tone of voice was not too friendly.
For some reason, Mo Ruqi always faintly felt that Xuan Ming had a kind of hostility towards Yuwen Tongyi, but he didn't know where to start.
Yuwen Tongyi didn't take it to heart and said, "So to speak." Prime Minister Li Cheng was originally a grass on the wall, and he was extremely dedicated to Emperor Shunli before, and after my father ascended the throne, he showed his dedication and loyalty. According to the current situation, it is natural that the power of the father is far above the king of Beichen, and Prime Minister Li Cheng will never turn to the king of Beichen. Otherwise, it would be impossible to openly sue King Beichen at the banquet and ask for the dissolution of the marriage contract between King Beichen and Li Daimei. ”
"And that matter?" Mo Ruqi asked in surprise, she was at the banquet that day, although Prime Minister Li Cheng made a big fuss about the banquet, she did not mention it.
Yuwen Tongyi slowly explained: "That's right! Perhaps taking into account Li Daimei's face and emotions, at the banquet, Prime Minister Li Cheng did not say it explicitly. But after the banquet, he knelt outside his father's palace for several hours, asking for the dissolution of the marriage contract, but the princess had been canonized, how could he say that it would be dissolved, and his father was also worried that Prime Minister Li would insist on remarrying Li Daimei into me or Yuwen Hansu after that, and did not agree to his request. ”
Mo Ruqi saw that King Zhongtong was so sure, and his heart was also a little more steady, so he said: "Then since the prince is so sure, I have to ask the prince to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to test whether Prime Minister Li has the intention of cooperating with you. ”
"Hmmm! Good. I also had this intention for a long time, but I haven't thought about what conditions to persuade Prime Minister Li, but I didn't expect the Moge Lord to think of a piece with me. Yuwen Tongyi agrees with the authenticity.
"As for this condition, it has to be considered by King Zhongtong. After all, what Prime Minister Li Cheng wants, presumably only King Zhongtong and Emperor Zhonghou can give. Mo Ruqi said meaningfully.
Yuwen Tongyi said with some embarrassment: "He is in a high position, and he is already above 10,000 people under one person, but I am afraid that his appetite will be difficult to satisfy." However, I will find a suitable time as soon as possible to visit him and other officials who have a grudge against King Beichen.
Mo Ruqi nodded and continued: "In addition to this matter, there is another matter, which has to bother King Zhongtong. Seeing Mo Ruqi's solemn face, Yuwen Tongyi put away the folding fan and said seriously: "Why should the Lord of Mo Pavilion be polite, just say it directly." ”
"Does King Zhongtong still remember the assassination of Taiwei Duan seven years ago?" Mo Ruqi's eyes flashed with a trace of pain, but the past was cleverly concealed.
Of course, I remember that Duan Taiwei, as an official of the imperial court, was a high-ranking official, but he was assassinated and killed by secret forces, which caused a sensation and alarmed the government and the opposition, and everyone in the civil and military affairs was in danger. The imperial court ordered someone to investigate the matter thoroughly, but after months of hard investigation, there was still no clue. To this day, it is still an unsolved case. I just don't know what this matter has to do with the big things we are planning? Yuwen Tongyi asked suspiciously.
As if worried about recalling the past, Mo Ruqi couldn't control her emotions, and before she could speak, Xuan Ming replied for her: "We have definite news, Duan Taiwei's death is related to King Beichen." ”
Hearing this, Yuwen Tongyi was not surprised: "My father also guessed that this matter was related to King Beichen, but he has not found evidence for seven years. ”
Xuan Ming and Mo Ruqi glanced at each other and said: "Seven years have passed, the physical evidence has been difficult to find, King Beichen has been cautious, and he has already been on guard against Emperor Zhonghou, so naturally he has made a perfect plan, and it is impossible to leave any clues." ”
No one knew better than the two of them about what happened back then, and it took several months just to plan and arrange this matter, in order to prevent Emperor Zhong Hou from catching the handle.
"Then you two must have already figured it out, where did you start?" Yuwen Tongyi asked, and there were some doubts in his heart.
The two people in front of them have always said that the Water Killing Pavilion and the imperial court have nothing to do with each other and have no contact, but they have a clear understanding of King Beichen's personality and behavior. Even the old things from seven years ago are well understood.
I don't know what her so-called personal feud is. His instincts told him that this feud was not trivial.
However, doubts are doubts after all, Yuwen Tongyi did not ask, because he knew that Mo Ruqi and Xuan Ming and even Shui Ji Pavilion were now on guard against him, and he couldn't ask the result.
Mo Ruqi hooked her lips and smiled, and said, "If you can't find clues from King Beichen, then you can only find out from the old people in the Taiwei Mansion and the Taiwei Mansion." ”
Yuwen Tongyi seemed to be a little embarrassed, and after a while, Fang said: "I can take you to the Taiwei Mansion, and the old people of the Taiwei Mansion ......" Yuwen Tongyi paused and said: "For seven years, the trees have fallen and scattered, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to find." ”
Xuan Ming noticed a hint of rejection from King Zhongtong, and said dissatisfiedly: "How can you know if you don't give it a try?" Besides, with the power of the prince and the Water Killing Pavilion, regardless of the rivers and lakes and the imperial court, it is not difficult to find out the old people in the major events of seven years ago. ”
After Xuanming said this, Mo Ruqi couldn't help but raise his eyes and look at King Zhongtong, after all, the matter seven years ago was a big case, and the court must have detailed records, and it must be okay to check some old people, King Zhongtong refused like this, but I am afraid that it is not that he can't find it, but he doesn't want to check it.
