Chapter 702: Scheming Thoughts
After all, Li Jing said to Zhou Guo that he would pass the throne to Hongyi, so as to buffer Zhou's attack on Jiangbei. However, Li Hongyi was ambitious to lead his troops to resist, and Zhou took all Jiangbei. Many people may not know about this matter, but as Gao Sishi, who is Li Jing's close attendant, how can he not know?
Because Li Jing's mind moved, he wanted Li Daitao to let himself land safely, who knew that Zhou Guo's spies intercepted Li Jing's secret. What people didn't expect was that Lord Zhou not only broke Li Jing's thoughts, but even allowed Li Jing to pass on the throne in order to disgust Li Jing's thoughts. may also be a major reason, after all, no matter how powerful the Zhou State is, Li Jing is still the boss in the Tang Kingdom, you can imagine the grievances and anger in his heart at that time.
"The lord of the country is eloquent, these things must have been planned in the heart of the lord for a long time, as long as there is an order, please ask the lord of the country to give an order!" Gao Sishi quickly thought about these things in his mind, and now that Li Hongyi was deposed by the emperor, it must have a lot to do with the thoughts in his heart and his actual ability.
Now that Li Jing wants to retain his position, he naturally doesn't want to have a voice that interferes with him! Power is sometimes a scary thing! Thinking about Li Hongyi's status in the Tang Kingdom, although the relationship between the two was still a little awkward because of the existence of the emperor's younger brother, Gao Sishi understood that this was a means.
However, the sudden death of the emperor's younger brother later, for Li Hongyi, there is no suspense about his rights since then, but for Li Jing, he is obviously under great threat! No matter what Li Hongyi thinks in his heart, but the reality is very cruel, no matter who loses power once he loses power, the person who wants to hold his feet that day can't wait to hide away.
Xiao Cheng couldn't interject, he could only listen to everyone chatting and see Li Jing make two small words, but he didn't know whether it was good or bad. The atmosphere of the banquet was warm, especially the prince of Anding, he also responded to Emperor Li Jing's small words, and watched everyone applaud and appreciate, which must be extremely good.
Han Xizai, the head of the household, also took the lead and responded. Seeing that his height was like standing out from the crowd, Xiao Cheng took two more looks. However, to Xiao Cheng's surprise, Han Xizai responded with two songs, and there was actually an old man in a purple robe who got up and poured cold water, and only after listening to the discussion of the people around him did he know that this person was the crown prince Feng Yansi.
Although Xiao Cheng didn't know what kind of bull Feng Yansi had, after seeing him make two small poems, even Li Jing high-fived and applauded, he knew that this person still had some talent. However, he seems to be a little wrong with Han Xizai, and he openly ridiculed him in front of Li Jing, which is a bit rare.
Seeing that Han Xizai seemed to be a little unconcerned, Xiao Cheng saw a trace of anger in his eyes. Xiao Cheng's eyes couldn't help but look outside the main hall, and he remembered that there was a person who also had this kind of look just now, and that person seemed to be standing next to the rockery outside the hall.
At this moment, he couldn't see that person, although Xiao Cheng was a little strange, he didn't care too much. After all, the banquet in the palace is still relatively rare for Xiao Cheng. Although it is not about the wine and food on the case, at least this full hall of civil and military officials still made Xiao Cheng a little eye-opener.
Once in one place, Xiao Cheng had also seen so many civil and military officials, and the people there seemed to be more kind than here. The man who sat on the royal stairs could hold his trouser legs and drink and sing with everyone.
There is the place where Xiao Cheng once studied, there is the place that Xiao Cheng yearns for, and there is also the place where Xiao Cheng is haunted by his dreams!
But for the sake of an ideal, Xiao Cheng left there and came to Raozhou, thousands of miles away. Who knew that the world was impermanent, and he actually came to Jinling again. Although he didn't know how much variability his change would bring to his task, Xiao Cheng would definitely find a way to make up for it.
What made Xiao Cheng particularly surprised was that after listening to Geng Xiansheng's chat, he realized that the identity of the man in yellow who was outside just now was actually Prince Hongyi, who had just been deposed. This made Xiao Cheng particularly surprised, because the deposed princes of previous dynasties were generally difficult to come out and be seen, and he didn't expect that he could freely enter and leave the banquet in the palace.
Perhaps out of the instinct of identity, Xiao Cheng was a little more curious about this Hongyi. Seeing that many officials entered and exited the main hall freely, the officials of Honglu Temple close to the imperial staircase did not pay attention, and the palace guards standing on both sides did not interfere, so they were a little impatient to go out and have a look.
Geng Xiansheng seemed to see Xiao Cheng's uncertain thoughts, so he sent a message to tell Xiao Cheng that he could go out and take a look, because this is the palace inside, even if it is curious and fresh, but it is only near the Daming Palace. Because the palace is not as good as the outside, there are still strict orders for outsiders to be safe.
When Xiao Cheng walked out of the main hall, even though it was late at night, it was still brightly lit outside, and the lights and candles around it reflected the Daming Palace as if it was daytime.
If you feel a hint of moisture in the air, it may be about to change! Looking around at this laughter, the ears are endless, and there is a scene of singing and dancing in a peaceful and prosperous world. Imagining what he saw all the way from the south, Xiao Cheng couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions in his heart.
Hongyi really didn't stand next to the rockery, Xiao Cheng was a little disappointed in his heart, Xiao Cheng was still very curious about this waste prince being able to appear in the palace for a night banquet. I don't know what kind of psychology Emperor Li Jing is? When he was initially forced by Zhou Guo to retreat, he claimed to pass the throne to Hongyi, and after being appeased by Zhou Guo, he actually abolished Hongyi.
If Hongyi is abolished, it is reasonable to put him under house arrest, but now it seems that it is not so simple, Hongyi can actually enter and leave the palace unimpeded. This matter is not so simple, after all, such a banquet is usually attended by envoys from various countries in Jinling City, isn't Li Jing afraid that Zhou Guo will know about this matter?
Xiao Cheng couldn't figure it out for a while, but when he thought of his identity, he was just a pawn brought by the master. Not to mention whether he has the right to speak, even walking in the palace is currently difficult. Xiao Cheng didn't dare to make trouble for Geng Xiansheng, after all, he had just entered the Loose Sect.
I don't know how Hongyi is doing now, presumably no one dares to approach him! Xiao Cheng was a little disappointed in his heart, but when he saw that there were many people outside the Daming Palace, he didn't know if he couldn't get used to the atmosphere in the hall. Many of them also got together in twos and threes and chatted in a low voice, presumably the Tang Palace was not too strict with this kind of banquet, so Xiao Cheng walked around in front of the palace.
But after walking for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, because he saw the figure he wanted to see.
