Chapter 195: Night Banquet (2)
Alas, when will Ah Ke come back? She's not going to go for two days. Li Yi sat on the top of the pavilion bored, not afraid of the scorching sun, just so drowsy, his mind was full of that pretty face with a cold expression.
He wanted to follow Zong Zhengke to the Summer Palace, even if he hid somewhere in the garden. But he was deeply jealous of Mr. Xiao Jiu and Xiao Fenghuan, and didn't want Meng Lang to act.
Xiao Fenghuan is the same generation as Xiao Fengheng, the regent of the current Jokhang Empire, although there is a lot of age difference. As far as Li Yi knows, Xiao Fengheng and Xiao Fenghuan have known each other for a long time. The relationship between these two people can even be said to be not shallow.
This time, Mrs. Xiao regained the title of princess of Qin, which was the will of Empress Xiao Wanwan on the surface, but in fact, secretly, Xiao Fengheng was also happy to see it. The scheming city of this uncle regent is said to be no less than that of the grandson of the Great Qin Emperor, Yingfusu.
Although it is said that the empress regave the title of princess of Qin to Xiao Lao Taijun, it does not mean that Xiao Lao Taijun has fallen to the empress. But Li Yi's best friend Ying Xunhuan once revealed that Xiao Laotaijun, as a woman, is still very inclined to the empress Xiao Wanwan.
However, if the title of the princess of Qin State falls on the head of Xiao Fenghuan's daughter, I am afraid that Xiao Fengheng will be cheaper in the end, and the empress just made a wedding dress for others. Ying Xunhuan is not only the empress's confidant, but also the empress's close friend, if the empress is defeated by Xiao Fengheng, the scene of Ying Xunhuan can be imagined.
Therefore, as a good friend, Li Yi did not want any of Xiao Fenghuan's daughters to take away the title of princess of Qin. As for Xiao Juejue, don't look at the huge network of in-laws behind her mother Xiao Hongluan, but for the two most noble people in the Jokhang Empire, it is really nothing.
Xiao Juejue's name is so loud, I am afraid it has something to do with Xiao Fenghuan, the driving force behind the scenes. Li Yi also believes that Xiao Juejue has such a frivolous and arrogant temperament. It shouldn't be able to get into Mrs. Xiao's eyes. She is just a chess piece that Xiao Fenghuan launched to compete with Xiao Langlang.
Therefore, Li Yi wants to support the sisters of Xiao Langlang and Xiao Yingying of the Su Hang Xiao family. However, these two sisters are not the direct blood relatives of Mrs. Xiao. If you really want to talk about it, you're about to come out of five suits. How could Mrs. Xiao be willing to designate the successor to the title as one of them?
Xiao Langlang should know this very well, so he would take the liberty to ask him to come forward as a backer. The reason why he begged him and didn't ask others was nothing more than that among the countries close to the Tianxing Kingdom, he Li Yi was the only one who had a respected status in the mountain gate. Dongtang and Tianxing. Now it's a friendship again. The two countries have been married for more than ten years.
Li Yi felt that Zong Zhengke's inheritance of this title was the best of both worlds. It's just that he thinks about it again. Ah Ke is already a Venerable Buddha country, and if she has such a noble status in the world, her marriage will probably be even more difficult to think about in the future.
In addition, Li Yi had to think of the Supreme Trend of the Great Trend. He was sure. Ah Ke will definitely receive a letter from her powerful and domineering little brother. With the general trend to the close friendship with the grandson of the Great Qin Emperor, he did not take this opportunity to stretch out his hand to the internal dispute of the Great Zhao. It's impossible.
Alas, I don't know what Ah Ke thinks. Li Yi suddenly realized that he had seen Zong Zhengke so many times, but he hadn't even remembered to probe her mind once. It's better to do your best to find out. It is better to adjust your own action strategy, and you must not affect the friendship between each other.
After making up his mind for a while, Li Yi floated from the top of the pavilion to the ground. Go back to your room and rest for lunch. As soon as Zong Zhengke left like this, how could he still have the heart to watch any small exams. Anyway, it's not until the last day of the challenge. If he doesn't go, no one can say anything about him.
As soon as he returned to the room, Guang'an hurriedly came to report: "Palace, there is urgent news from Daqin's side. ”
Ever since he had a grudge with the Supreme Being, Li Yi set his sights on the movements of the Great Qin Empire. Not for anything else, I just want to guess the general trend from the changes in the Great Qin Dynasty.
Some time ago, there was a scandal in the Great Qin Empire about the crown prince killing his father and seizing the throne, and the imperial grandson Yingfu Su was seriously injured in assassination, and the harem of the Great Qin Dynasty was in turmoil. It can be said that there is no need to pay special attention at all, and I don't know how many people's eyes are on the first country on this day.
Li Yi's heart jumped, estimating the time, if Yingfu Su was really a person who was born to be an emperor as his father said, he should also end that qiē. He commanded, "Speak." ”
Guang'an unfolded the secret letter, hurriedly swept the content, and said crisply: "Half a month ago, the grandson of the Great Qin Emperor Yingfu Su ascended the throne and became the emperor. The Great Qin Emperor and the Crown Prince," he paused, his little face was cold, and his voice was cold, "they are all dead." The old emperor died of poisoning, and the crown prince was pierced through the heart by a sword. ”
Li Yi sighed lightly and said melancholy: "The father is not the father, the son is not the son, and the grandson is not the grandson." ”
His eyes were dark, and he thought of himself. Before leaving, the concubine took his hand, wept and begged him to help his good brother Li Xin, the king of Jiangzuo, compete for the throne.
His father and queen palace are as beautiful as clouds, and he has many brothers and sisters, several of whom are strong contenders for the throne. Compared with Li Xin, who is only 14 years old this year, his elder brothers left the palace early to open a government, made meritorious contributions, and won the hearts of the people. As for Li Xin, he still lives in the palace.
And he himself, who has been in Tianyi True Sect for many years, even if he does something for his father, he can't make it public. To the courtiers of the Eastern Tang Kingdom, he was just an empty title, without any real power and no prestige.
The mother concubine said, you are a genius, and your status in the Tianyi True Sect is transcendent, and the power of this world is only something that is better than nothing for you. But your brother, who was born and raised in the court, if he can't sit in that seat, will those people still let him live?
At that time, Li Yi wanted to tell his mother that he couldn't count on glory and wealth, but he could still do it as an elder brother to protect Li Xin's life. But he didn't say it, because he knew that Li Xin and his mother wanted more than just their lives.
At the thought of getting involved in the struggle for the throne, Li Yi felt troubled. At this time, when he got the news of Daqin, he felt more and more troubled about the bloody rain of diving before and after Yingfu Su's accession to the throne.
Especially his good brother Li Xin, who has a low eye, has no deep relationship with him, and the key is that Li Xin doesn't trust his brother at all, and he is even more unwilling to listen to him. It is conceivable that it will be difficult for such a person to ascend to the throne.
Li Yi has already planned to take the opportunity of this investigation of "The Records of the Reign of the Human Emperor" to take a good look at Li Xin. If it is really unbearable to cultivate, he can only say sorry to his mother.
Guang'an retreated, and Guangning came to pay attention again. The palace of Rin County, who had never been in contact, sent an envoy to Li Yi and invited him to the dinner that day. Li Yi also plans to visit the Summer Palace at night and go to Zong Zhengke to find out his mind, how can he waste time?
However, Guangning said that it has been found out that this time the young men and women of the Xiao clan gathered together, and the three girls of Zongzheng are very likely to attend the meeting.
Li Yi's eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered to pack up his clothes and prepare for the banquet. (To be continued)
