Daming Palace, Greenhouse Palace.

"Today...... Qiu Shiliang has a recital! ”

Li Chen pointed to the notes on the cases in front of him, and said to Li Zhen.

"He can't hold it!"

Although Li Zhen didn't see the content of the song, he had already guessed something.

"Hmm......" Li Chen nodded and asked, "This is also part of your plan?" ”

Li Zhen smiled slightly and said: "In front of people's hearts, the role of any plan is just Liao Yi's relief, so Erchen doesn't like to act according to the plan!" ”

"And what do you think I should do?" Li Chen asked again, but looking at the expression on his face, it seemed that he had already made a decision in his heart.

"This face still has to be given!" Li Zhen said with a smile.

"You mean to promise him?" Li Chen asked.

"Naturally, you have to agree, otherwise without the protagonist, you won't be able to call it a play!" Li Zhen nodded.

Obviously, Li Chen was very satisfied with Li Zhen's answer, and then said: "Ma Yuanzhen suggested Shangshi Festival, and Qiu Shiliang suggested Shangyuan Festival, what do you think?" ”

"Shangyuan Festival, Qiu Shiliang's words still have to be listened to!" Li Zhen replied without thinking.

"Oh? Why not take Ma Yuanzhen's suggestion? Li Chen said in surprise, but with a smile on his face.

"It's just Erchen's intuition!" Li Zhen said with a smile.

Obviously, Li Chen was not satisfied with this answer, but he didn't ask any questions, just smiled, and then said: "If I ask what you are going to do next, there must be no answer!" ”

Li Zhen shook his head when he heard this: "It's not that Erchen doesn't say it, but I really don't know!" ”

This time, Li Zhen was telling the truth.

But Li Chen was noncommittal about this, and said, "Then how do you want me to cooperate with you?" ”

Li Zhen thought for a while and said, "No matter what Qiu Shiliang does, Aya is right!" ”

"Whatever?" Li Chen was a little puzzled.

"Whatever!" Li Zhen nodded, his smile still on.

Li Chen was slightly stunned when he saw this, and nodded helplessly, and said, "Okay, but I hope you know what you're doing!" ”

......

The next morning.

The fruitless discussion for several days finally got Li Chen's reply.

On the Shangyuan Festival, Lishan was paraded, and at the same time ordered Ma Yuanzhen and Qiu Shiliang to supervise their own departments, and the ceremonial officers were among the top performers in addition to Cui Xuan, the secretary of the military department.

Although Feng Ao and other old ministers did not agree with Lishan Dayue, with the support of Wei Guang and Bai Minzhong and other important ministers, the protest of Feng Ao and others seemed too small.

Li Chen sat upright and looked at the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, with a smile on his face, but a sneer appeared in his heart.

This made Li Chen suddenly understand the current situation, this court is not his own after all, and he has not completely gotten rid of the fate of the puppet after all.

At the same time, Li Chen suddenly realized that his seemingly innocent son was far more thorough than himself.

Li Chen even suspected that the ultimate purpose of Li Zhen's manipulation of all this was just to let himself see some things and some people clearly.

But Li Chen didn't know what Li Zhen wanted to do next, after all, after the big reading, Ma Yuanzhen was still Ma Yuanzhen, and Qiu Shiliang was still Qiu Shiliang.

The power of the forbidden army is still elsewhere.

But the matter has come to this point, Li Chen can only choose to believe in Li Zhen, and he can only believe in Li Zhen.

After the court meeting, Li Chen's mood seemed a little depressed, after all, no son of heaven was willing to be at the mercy of others, not to mention that Li Chen had been planning for this day for ten years.

"Wang Guichang, do you think I am really suitable to be the Son of Heaven?" Li Chen leaned on the table with a tired face, and rubbed his forehead with both hands.

When Wang Guichang heard this, he hurriedly bowed down in horror and said: "Everyone is the son of heaven, this is the will of heaven, and it is the will of the people!" ”

"Providence? Public opinion? Li Chen smiled and said, "What about the courtiers?" ”

"Everyone forgot, it's ......"

Wang Guichang didn't finish speaking, he only heard Li Chen snort coldly: "Don't talk about those two!" They're just looking for a puppet to manipulate! ”

"How can you be a puppet, you are Mingjun!" Wang Guichang said.

Li Chen waved his hand, unable to distinguish anymore, and said slowly: "Call Yan Heng!" ”

......

Ma Yuanzhen's Mansion.

"Shangyuan Festival Lishan Grand Parade...... Hehe, it seems that we still underestimated the old fox's methods! Ma Zhi sneered.

Ma Yuanzhen glanced at Ma Zhi, his expression did not look sad or happy, and said slowly: "That old fox is not worried, but His Majesty has made a good move this time!" ”

"Your Majesty?" Ma Zhi was puzzled.

"Your Majesty's meaning is obvious, he doesn't want to have only one lieutenant in the Shence Army, only two people in the Shence Army can make him feel more at ease!" Ma Yuanzhen said.

Ma Zhi's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he said, "Isn't that all the work we did before useless?" In the end, Your Majesty will still find another lieutenant of the Right Army, brother, you are still a lieutenant of the Left Army! ”

Ma Yuanzhen nodded and said, "It seems that this is indeed the case at present!" ”

"Then what can I do?" Ma Zhi asked.

"Countermeasures?" Ma Yuanzhen glanced at Ma Zhi, then got up and walked to Ma Zhi with his hands in his hands, and said with a smile: "I met a person for my brother a few days ago, and he said a word!" ”

"Oh?" Ma Zhi wondered.

Ma Yuanzhen smiled slightly and said, "What he said is that in the second year of the first year, Tang Shao and Guo Yuanzhen, the secretary of the Ministry of War, were given the matter!" ”

Ma Zhi pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then suddenly realized: "Brother means ......"

Before Ma Zhi's words were finished, he was interrupted by Ma Yuanzhen raising his hand: "It's good to understand!" I have already made arrangements for my brother, let's see how the old fox explains to His Majesty, as long as he falls, our family will see who dares to take this position! As long as no one dares to take it, this ending is not the same for us?! ”

Ma Zhi couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Brother is a god, the younger brother has been taught!" ”

Ma Yuanzhen couldn't help laughing, then turned to look out the window, and said slowly: "In the future, you and I brothers must still fulfill their duties and guard this great world for Your Majesty!" ”

When he said this, Ma Zhi didn't see the sneer on Ma Yuanzhen's face, and Ma Yuanzhen also didn't see the horror that flashed in Ma Zhi's eyes.

......

Conservatory Hall.

Yan Heng stood with a bow, in fact, Yan Heng rarely raised his head to face Li Chen, so that Li Chen had to remind him repeatedly to raise his head when he answered.

But despite this, Yan Heng is still like me, with a cautious look, reminding him a lot, Li Chen simply didn't want to say it anymore, as long as Yan Heng was not tired, he would go.

"Chang Zhi, the case of Ma Yu that I asked you to investigate, has there been a result?" Li Chen asked.

Yan Heng thought about it and hesitated slightly.

"What? Let's get it straight! Li Chen urged.

"Your Majesty really wants to listen?"

This time, Yan Heng finally raised his head.

"Say it!" Li Chen said.

"Xiao Zhongli!" Yan Heng said softly.
