Subsequently, Li Hui and the prince returned to the vine garden and began to carefully plan the expansion of power. Pu Wangfu is on the cusp of the storm, and many things cannot be done openly - if you wantonly raise the tribe in the fiefdom, it will inevitably make people feel a lot of heart. It just so happened that the prince had obtained two barren villages, which were perfect for raising his subordinates and servants. Even if you can only support dozens or hundreds of people for the time being, there are many uses, enough to help them find out the news.

In addition, Sun Rong was a merchant, and he put these people into his caravan, often going back and forth to Chang'an, Shangzhou, Huazhou and other places, which could not only hide the ears and eyes of others without knowing it, but also perhaps find out more information. The many storms in Chang'an City often do not only cause turmoil in Chang'an City, but also affect more distant places, even thousands of miles away. If you don't want another inexplicable assassination, you need to keep an eye on the neighboring states.

"If it is laid out now, it will take at least a few months to see results." Li Hui couldn't help frowning, "It's still too late." "In the memory of the previous life, my grandfather had passed away at this time, and the prince's uncle changed his name to ascend the throne. Soon after, Grandpa died of depression, and his mother, brother and him died within a few years, and the line of King Pu was completely decayed. He once thought that since his grandmother could reverse the destiny of his previous life, his grandfather would be able to live a long life. He was even a little indulged in the love of his grandparents and the warmth of his elders, thinking about how good it would be if he could live like this.

However, the undercurrent never stops, and the intrigues are always designed to destroy this warmth. Not to mention that his grandfather's current physical condition is good and bad, even if his grandfather is safe and sound, with Princess Anxing watching him, he has to be guarded against. If she succeeds in using a trick to provoke a precarious relationship of trust between several elders, how disappointed will my grandfather be, and what will be the attitude of the prince's uncle?

Even if it's a rainy day, he needs to know more. In this way, we can fight back when those intrigues come. Or, it can better protect against those with bad intentions. As for taking the initiative - too conspicuous, too eye-catching, not suitable for Pu Wangfu, and not suitable for him who has almost nothing at present.

"Ah Hui, you seem to be a little impatient lately." Wang Zixian raised his hand, almost instinctively trying to smooth the wrinkle on his forehead. However, the slender fingers froze at the moment when they almost touched him, and gently patted him on the shoulder instead: "Recently, the saint's health is a little bad?" ”

Inquiring about the emperor's health is enough to be a taboo for rebellion. However, with their friendship, this is not a secret. Li Hui bowed his head lightly and sighed: "After the death of my grandmother, after my father came out of the lineage, I always felt that my grandfather was aging very fast, and he was not as healthy as he was at the beginning of last year. "He was by his grandfather's side almost every day and knew his physical condition very well. It's not just him, who doesn't know the crown prince, the king of Yue, the clan and the ministers? It's just that this matter is a big taboo, and they keep it secretive and never mention it.

"The saint is ordered by the heavens, and it must be the auspicious people who have their own heavenly appearance, so you don't have to worry so much." The prince comforted, "Moreover, we must not act hastily, but must be deliberate. Even if it's ...... To change the world, we should also take it step by step. Otherwise, it will be chaotic in a hurry, and it is easy to travel on business and make people take advantage of loopholes. ”

"I'll save it." Li Hui breathed deeply, adjusting his somewhat uneven mood, "Zixian, I will approach the clan this time and take the opportunity to make some credible people." As for the matter of Li Ge and Li Qianniang, if you can ask some questions from the side, it can be regarded as a harvest. ”

"I've got some ideas on how to use this. When things are clear, maybe you can think more clearly. When the time comes, we will consult together. The prince said, with undisguised concern in his eyes, "As for you, you may think too much, and it is not too late to rest for a while, and then go to various feasts." ”

Li Hui listened to his best friend's advice and stayed in King Pu's mansion to recuperate for a few days. Even when he went out, he just entered the palace to accompany his grandfather. It wasn't until the night banquet held in the palace of the Shangyuan Festival that he reappeared in front of everyone.

When Li Jing saw him, he couldn't help asking, "Could it be that my cousin has fallen ill these days?" Why haven't you been seen? Earlier, you said that you wanted to get closer to your brothers and sisters, and I plan to introduce you to them. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, I couldn't find you anywhere. ”

"Isn't it just right now?" Li Hui said with a smile, "Moreover, the person you want to introduce must not be narrow-minded, so you shouldn't be careful." "Even if you stay together all day long, the children of all the clans may not all be very compatible. Li Ge seemed to be the leader of everyone, but it was impossible to convince everyone. And, with his power and wisdom, how could he subdue those who had a gap in his heart? Those people are just because of his seniority and his status as the king of Jibei County, so it is not easy to offend him. Such a person is the one he intends to befriend.

Li Jing was very useful to his words, so he led him to meet the brothers who were good friends on weekdays. Because the purpose of this night banquet was to enjoy the lanterns, everyone was not gathered in one palace, but scattered in the brightly lit garden. Therefore, the two cousins were not in a hurry, they walked slowly all the way, and they were also looking for people and enjoying the lanterns.

"Ah Jing, weekdays...... Who does she associate with the most? Don't introduce me to someone like that, it's uncomfortable to look at each other. Because of the people around him, it was inconvenient for Li Hui to say it clearly, so he had to ask vaguely.

"Actually, the people of Jingwangfu like her." Li Jing naturally also understood the truth that the wall has ears, and his voice was lowered a lot, "That little cousin has always felt that she has been greatly wronged, and it is very pitiful to be left alone in Beijing, so he claimed that we are all clans and must take good care of her." A brother once said that the reason why the county lords of Jingwangfu were friendly with her was just to please Uncle Xiaotang. After all, Uncle Xiaotang is the youngest son, and he is deeply favored by his uncle, grandfather and grandmother. As for the brothers and sisters of other clans, they should also look at the face of the little cousin. ”

“…… In this way, the battle on her face right now is this little cousin? Li Hui was thoughtful. Perhaps, it was Li Qianniang's original intention to approach Li Ge, she wanted to find a reliable battle, which was better than being trembling and lonely without protection before? Or perhaps, this is not only her wish, but also Princess Anxing's point? Otherwise, it would be impossible for ordinary people to break through the bottom line of "uncle and niece" having a private affair so quickly - with all kinds of anecdotes about Princess Anxing "Zhuyu in front", Li Qianniang naturally would not take this kind of scandal to heart.

So, what does Princess Anxing want to do with this? In the end, she used it as a handle to threaten King Jing to be used by her? King Jing is Zong Zhengqing, the patriarch of the royal clan, and in order to protect his beloved young son, he can't really do anything. For example, in the future, he supported Yang Liangdi's son and proposed to make him the crown prince. With the full support of the clan, my uncle can refuse once or twice, but if he doesn't have enough strength, he will definitely not be able to refuse forever.

This plan is just like him and the prince offering the patriarch of the Shangzhou Wang clan to come forward and suppress Wang Chang and Xiao Yang's clan - gathering the power of the clan, the situation must be very dangerous at that time, and she must not be allowed to do it!!

Li Jing didn't notice that his expression had changed slightly, and continued to himself: "Didn't we all cover the previous incident tightly and not mention it?" If it doesn't spread out, naturally no one will know about it. Even my brothers, who were good friends with me, thought she was too pretentious, and they seldom thought about it. ”

"No matter how tightly it is covered, it is impossible for the slightest wind to not spread the word." Hearing this, Li Hui shook his head, "Moreover, just the cold attitude of your aunt and my mother is enough to explain it." In addition, these days, in addition to Princess Anxing's mansion, has she ever stepped into the mansion of Aunt Linchuan and Aunt Qinghe for half a step? Isn't that enough to prove that she has offended all her uncles and aunts? It's just that things haven't been clear yet, and many people just secretly warn their children one or two sentences, and they don't want to make it too obvious. ”

This is not a violation of the yang and the yin, let alone dullness and ignorance, but the initiative to cater to the attitude of the prince's uncle. Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not make Li Qianniang's matter public, he naturally hinted that the clan would treat each other as usual, so as to confuse Li Qianniang and Princess Anxing and lure them to move. If this is the case, it is impossible to say that the prince's uncle has actually noticed the fact that Li Qianniang and Jingwangfu are too close, and he can also guess Princess Anxing's intentions?

If it weren't for his grandfather, the prince's uncle would definitely not endure it any longer. It's a pity that for the sake of my grandfather, I had to endure it. On the contrary, Princess Anxing acted without scruples, and never cared about her grandfather at all, which was simply unfilial piety, which was really disgraceful!

Li Jing was silent for a long time, and said sincerely: "Cousin Hui, you are indeed much smarter than me...... Even if I lend me ten more heads, I won't come up with these twists and turns. I can't complain that my grandfather and aunt often sigh at our brothers, and from time to time they praise your brothers for raising them well......"

"You just don't want to think about it." Li Hui smiled faintly, "However, as a cousin, I have to warn you - if you think a little more about something, you won't be wrong." If you don't understand, go and ask your father and mother, and they will be willing to answer your questions. ”

Li Jing listened, but said with a bitter face: "Spare me!" Grandpa and Grandma have warned me many times, saying that if I stay in Chang'an, sooner or later I will be devoured cleanly. Then I won't stay in Chang'an! In the future, I will go to the frontier to guard and be a metropolitan governor, how majestic!! ”

“…… It's also comfortable. Li Hui was stunned and laughed, "You think clearly, it's enough." When you get married, ask your grandfather for it, and you will definitely be able to get your wish. ”

"Cousin, you are the second person to support me after my brother! It's just a rarity! In the future, if my grandfather refuses to agree, you must help me! Li Jing then laughed, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "I saw them!" Let's go!! The two cousins walked towards a few clan disciples under the lamp tower, smiling and greeting each other, with a little temptation, but also with enough sincerity......

Inadvertently, Li Hui saw Li Qianniang in the corner not far away. She was carrying a jade carved lamp, talking and laughing with a group of clan girls. Li Ge stood beside them, personally holding the iron hook, and took the lantern from the lighthouse for them. It seems to be really harmonious, but who knows about the use and ugliness in private?
