Yin Guanghao was surprised when he received the order, and he hurriedly flew to the Northwest Palace, and reported the matter to Li Youyu.

After listening to Yin Guanghao's report, Li You also felt that there was a problem with this matter, and it could even be said that the problem was serious.

He called the White Tiger and asked, "Who informed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of this news?" ”

The white tiger didn't know, so he went out and asked.

He came back shortly after he went out, followed by a little eunuch beside Concubine Yin, who said that Concubine Yin Niangniang invited His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest to enter the palace to meet her in the afternoon.

Li You felt that this matter was a bit coincidental with Li Chengqian's edict, and after questioning, he understood the ins and outs of the matter.

Li You called Xiao Wanyu and learned that it was Wu Xu who went to see Li Chengqian, and called her to ask about the situation.

Li You was angry, he didn't have time to blame Xiao Wanyu and them now, he said with a straight face: "Wanyu, you are in trouble." All of you are not allowed to leave the back house today, and reflect on what you did wrong with your alcohol. Also, lunch is not allowed at noon today. Go ahead. ”

Xiao Wanyu and Wu Xu were startled, although they had made Li You angry before, but he didn't blame him. Today's tone is so heavy, the most important thing is that you are not allowed to eat lunch, this is amazing. The people take food as the sky, and in Li You's mansion, the world eats the most, otherwise eating lunch, this punishment will be very serious.

Xiao Wanyu and Wu Xu didn't dare to say anything, so they obediently returned to the back house and relayed the news of Li You's anger to the other ladies.

Takahashi Jiumiko still felt that the words were correct, Murong Ling was also a little unconvinced, and Wu Xu suddenly understood the problem. She said "oops" and said, "Oops, we really caused trouble for the prince." ”

This scared the women.

"What, fourth sister, why did you cause trouble for the prince?" Murong Ling asked.

Wu Xu said: "First of all, we shouldn't get involved in this matter, even if we are dissatisfied with this matter, we can only talk to the prince, at most we can only go to the concubine, and it is not right to go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Wei."

Let's go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to deal with this matter, on the surface, it seems to be a private matter, but the female assassin is a member of the royal family of the Japanese slave country, and leaving her will be of some help to deal with the affairs of the Japanese slave country, which is a national matter.

If we do this, it is equivalent to Mrs. doing politics, the status of the prince is too high, and if we do such a thing once, it will make the government and the opposition feel that we usually do this, which will have a great impact on the reputation of the prince. ”

"Oops, that's bad."

"Mom, it's really a trouble."

The ladies all regretted not falling.

Murong Ling said to Takahashi Jiumeizi: "Fifth sister, they all complain about you, what are you blindly analyzing, instigating us to interfere in the affairs of the prince, the prince is doing things, do you need us to mix blindly?" ”

Kumiko Takahashi regretted it very much, and kept her head down and didn't say a word.

Li You has never been picky about what he does, and the ladies all feel that they are full of food, and they sigh one by one.

In fact, this matter is much more serious than Wu Xu's analysis.

Li Chengqian is the superintendent of the state and the de facto ruler of the Tang Dynasty, and it is understandable that he instructed the Diting Temple to do things. The problem is that the Diting Temple is under the jurisdiction of Li You, Li You is now in Chang'an, and Li Chengqian has an edict, so he should also tell Li You in advance.

Li You's expedition was imminent, and Li Chengqian had no reason to meddle in dealing with the enemy's spies. Li Chengqian knew almost nothing about Tuoba Zilan, no matter whether it was useful for Li You to leave her, whether he would ruin any major plans, he just dealt with her directly, this kind of low-IQ thing is definitely what a king of a country should do.

So, the question is, why did Li Chengqian do this?

The only explanation is that he is afraid of Li You and does not trust Li You, so he uses the topic to play to see if Li You is obedient to himself.

Li Chengqian's attitude surprised Li You very much, and he couldn't understand why Li Chengqian had such a change for a while.

If Li Chengqian is really testing his attitude, the problem will be serious.

First of all, it was Li Chengqian's temptation, and Li You couldn't accept it.

If Li You does not act in accordance with Li Chengqian's orders and insists on his own opinions, he will give people the impression of being arrogant and domineering.

Li You killed Tuoba Zilan in accordance with Li Chengqian's order, ostensibly following Li Chengqian's order. However, Li You, ignoring the overall situation of the Eastern Expedition to the Japanese Slave State, currying favor with Li Chengqian in this way will leave people with the impression of ill-intentioned intentions, and will make people even more jealous.

The most important thing is that after this incident, the rift between Li Chengqian and Li You began to arise. Once the seeds of distrust sprout, sooner or later they will grow into towering trees.

Things in the world are like this, no matter how close two people are, once they distrust each other, no matter what the other party does, he will think crookedly. If there are no special circumstances, it is difficult to restore trust between each other.

Yin Guanghao saw Li You pondering, and knew that Li You was very embarrassed, so he said: "Cousin, you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have always trusted each other, and this sudden attack must have been instigated by someone behind it.

The reason why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was instigated is because your authority is too heavy, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is afraid of you. I'll say something taboo, you're a master.

Otherwise, remove the Hundred Horsemen Division from the Diting Temple and still hand it over to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for direct jurisdiction. ”

Li You nodded and said, "You have a point, you can do this, but not now, you have to find a suitable opportunity." Otherwise, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince feels that we have been forced to hand over to the Hundred Cavalry Division, and he will feel that we have a grudge in our hearts in the future, and no matter what we do, it will be wrong. ”

Yin Guanghao also had a headache, and he said dissatisfiedly: "This prince, according to the new word you said, this IQ is really a headache. ”

Li You didn't know what to do for a while, he had to think about it before he said, he said: "Didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say that he would cut Tuoba Zilan tomorrow, and there is still time, I will go and talk to him tomorrow morning." ”

At this time, Yin Hongzhi also came, and then, Zhang Guigui also came, and everyone continued to talk about this matter.

East Palace.

Huang Zhongyu reported to Li Chengqianyu: "His Royal Highness the Prince, after your edict arrived at the Diting Temple, Yin Guanghao went to the Northwest Palace, and soon after, Yin Hongzhi and Zhang Guigui also went to the Northwest Palace.

You said, you are a prisoner, and if you give an edict, it is equivalent to a holy decree, and you just need to listen to the temple and act according to the decree, do you need to report to His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest? Also, is there any need for them to discuss such a thing?

The minister believes that the reason why they did this is because you did not directly issue an edict to the Diting Temple through His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest, and they thought that you were meddling in the affairs of the Diting Temple, so they discussed countermeasures.

The minister doesn't understand, the whole world belongs to Your Highness, so you can't have jurisdiction over the Diting Temple? ”

Huang Zhongyu observed Li Chengqian's face and said vigorously.

At this moment, under the provocation of Huang Zhongyu, Li Chengqian was really dissatisfied with Li You.

Li Chengqian's face was ugly, and he was silent for a while and said, "What do you say?" ”

Huang Zhongyu said: "Your Highness, since you have issued an edict, there are many people who know about it, if it is not implemented, what will the government and the opposition think?" It will seriously affect your reputation. That's why it's important to stay the course. His Royal Highness, the King of the Northwest, no matter what your courtiers, if he is truly loyal to you, he should carry out your decrees. ”

Why did Huang Zhongyu sow discord between Li Chengqian and Li You so much?

In fact, Huang Zhongyu has no grudge against Li You, he just saw that Li Chengqian was about to become the new emperor, and wanted to become Li Chengqian's henchman at this moment, so as to soar.

At present, there are two major interest groups in the imperial court, one belongs to Li Chengqian, and the other belongs to Li You, Huang Zhongyu is actually optimistic about the Li You group, but he has nothing to do with others, even in the Li Chengqian group, he is not a core member of it, he has been looking for opportunities to become Li Chengqian's confidant.

Recently, Zhang Xuansu is not in the East Palace, and he has the opportunity to get close to Li Chengqian, so he has been paying attention to the appearance of opportunities.

Huang Zhongyu is like most villains, they have no ability to make contributions, but they can sow discord in the name of caring for their masters, and step on others to climb up. As for who to step on, it doesn't make a difference to them.

Li You has a close relationship with Li Chengqian, and Huang Zhongyu chose Li You as a target, which is really a big risk. However, he was also helpless, because he really couldn't find anything that could make Li Chengqian pay attention.

After analysis, Huang Zhongyu believes that this matter is feasible.

First of all, Li You's strength is too strong, and Li Chengqian, as the ruler, will definitely be a little jealous of Li You, so Li Chengqian will definitely be able to pay attention to Li You's affairs.

Second, Li Chengqian is indecisive and easily accepts his own opinions. Moreover, Li Chengqian is a person with strong self-esteem, even if this matter is finally done according to Li You's opinion, for the sake of his own face, Li Chengqian will not betray him Huang Zhongyu.

After this incident, the contradiction between Li Chengqian and Li You has arisen, and in order to contend with Li You, he Huang Zhongyu will definitely become one of Li Chengqian's henchmen from now on.

Thinking through all this, Huang Zhongyu took this step decisively.

Li Chengqian listened to Huang Zhongyu's words and nodded silently.

Huang Zhongyu was overjoyed when he saw that Li Chengqian had adopted his opinion. Encouraged by this, his mind was opened, and he continued to suggest: "Your Highness, as long as His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest agrees to dispose of the female assassins, you can strike while the iron is hot, and take the Diting Temple in your hands, and at the very least, control the original Hundred Cavalry Division in your hands." ”

Li Chengqian said: "You have a point, but I am not familiar with the affairs of the Diting Temple, and I don't know how to take over for a while. ”

Huang Zhongyu said with a smile: "You are the first person to be supreme in the Tang Dynasty, do you still need to worry about these specific affairs?" If Your Highness trusts Weichen, the minister is willing to share your Majesty's worries and become your most loyal and sensitive eyes and ears. ”

After saying that, he knelt on the ground and said, "Long live Your Majesty." ”

When Li Chengqian heard him call himself His Majesty, he was secretly happy in his heart, and he said, "You are fine, get up." ”

Northwest Palace.

Li You and the others discussed for a while, Yin Hongzhi and the others also left, and Li You walked towards the back house.

The maid who was guarding outside Xiao Wanyu's bedroom saw Li You coming, and hurriedly ran in to report: "Your Royal Highness the princess, the prince is here." ”

The women were nervous for a while, and they all stood up and went to the door to greet Li You.

Li You walked through the corridor, saw the nervous appearance of the ladies, and walked towards the dormitory without saying a word.

The women were a little frightened, and they didn't say a word, and obediently followed behind.

Li You walked inside and sat down, and just wanted to say something, the ladies saluted together and said first: "Brother You, husband, Your Highness, and the prince...... If the concubine knows that she is wrong, please punish her. ”
