The king of Lingnan interacted with Zhao Chen only to use him to contain the Qin state.

Once the king of Lingnan succeeded to the throne, he immediately changed the conservative strategy adopted by the Daqian court and sent dragoons to actively expand outward.

A weak split of the Great Kang, he rejoices in it.

With the help of the dragoons stationed in Dakang, if Dakang is severely damaged, it can consolidate his throne and show his ability.

If he can annex Dakang and annihilate the princely forces in Dakang one after another, he will bring Daqian to an unprecedented height.

prestige, reputation more than his father.

This is also why Xu Chaoen knew that when he was about to marry Xu Qiongying, he married Zhao Huanrong at the same time, but not only did he reject him, but also supported him very much.

At this time, Zhao Chen did not know the intentions of the King of Lingnan.

Knowing that the other party was still willing to help him, his face gradually bloomed with joy.

"If a certain can marry a princess, successfully borrow troops from Daqian, and quell the domestic war, the prince will be very kind, and he will never dare to forget it."

There are several people in the hall, all of whom have their own calculations.

They are all like cunning foxes who deliberately use each other to achieve their goals.

However, they had to hide their ambitions, especially Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen didn't know the plot of the King of Lingnan, and still regarded him as a benefactor to save the world, Li Maoyuan, who was silent in the hall, noticed the slightest strangeness in the expressions of the King of Lingnan and Xu Chaoen.

King Lingnan deliberately perfunctory Zhao Chen, clearly playing Zhao Chen as a monkey to seek his own interests.

According to his understanding of the king of Lingnan, this person is by no means the smartest and most strategic person among the princes of the Great Qian, but he is the most ambitious person.

Many times openly in front of him, he revealed his ambitions.

Showing possessiveness towards Dakang, the northern countries, and the southern countries.

Now he still needs to get close to Yu Guifei, borrow the power of Yu Guifei, Lingnan King and Xu Chaoen to stabilize the Daqian court, and instigate them to bewitch them, so that Daqian can focus all his energy on Dakang and Qin.

So as to alleviate the pressure on Nantang and buy time for his rise.

He didn't mention King Lingnan's intentions at all, let alone break his thoughts to help Zhao Chen resolve the crisis.

When Lingnan Wang Yuguang swept through the hall, he noticed Li Maoyuan's expression.

He invited Li Maoyuan to come and discuss ways to resolve the crisis, but the other party remained silent, like a stuffy oil bottle.

However, he knew that Li Maoyuan had always been quiet and liked to talk less and do more, and he was his very loyal and reliable assistant, so he didn't take Li Maoyuan's actions to heart at all.

The top priority is to solve the pressure from the King of Jiujiang.

If he can blame others and attack the King of Jiujiang, so as to weaken the other party and seize the position of prince, his situation will be much better.

Discuss your strategy with the crowd.

Li Maoyuan returned to the mansion and also took many measures.

The messenger ordered all the cronies who came to Longcheng with him to lurk, and at the same time secretly ordered the messenger to return to the Southern Tang Dynasty quickly, so that the army of the Southern Tang Dynasty would not move and wait to see the changes in the Dragon City.

Today, when he heard about the plans of the King of Lingnan, the King of Nanyue, and Xu Chaoen, he felt that before and after Li Yao's birthday banquet, something big would happen in Longcheng.

It may be like thunder, and since then it has set off a bloody battle between the princes of Dragon City.

Once there is a change within the Great Qian, it will be a few months at least a year or at most a year, and it will not be possible to pay attention to other countries around it.

It will be a great opportunity for him to dominate the south and accumulate strength.

From then on, he no longer has to endure humiliation and burden, and he doesn't have to grovel in front of the big cadres, so many years of forbearance will eventually be rewarded richly.

He will trample under his feet all those who despised him, mocked him, and insulted him.

Therefore, at present, there will never be the slightest disclosure, so that the Daqian court, especially the king of Jiujiang, who is strictly investigating the king of Nanyue, can find out the clues.

.....

The king of Jiujiang invited guests and friends from all over the world to entertain princes from all over the world in the mansion on behalf of the Daqian royal family.

This was the first time he had assumed imperial power and presided over such a grand feast.

News came from inside the palace that Li Yao seemed to be deliberately training him and was about to appoint him as his heir.

The King of Jiujiang knew very well how important this matter was to him.

Absolute.

There must be no accidents.

At present, there are many fish and dragons in Dragon City, and it is an eventful time.

He also did not dare to guarantee that no one with ulterior motives would take advantage of the banquet to retaliate against him.

If a prince encounters an accident at the banquet, his situation will be very embarrassing, not to mention betraying his father's trust, and it will also affect the relationship between Daqian and other countries.

At that time, the Lingnan Wang faction will seize the opportunity to fall into the well and force her to take responsibility.

Thus affecting the dispute between the princes.

In order to ensure the personal safety of the princes and concubines at the banquet, the king of Jiujiang was allowed to mobilize the palace guards and deploy them outside the palace in case of accidents.

At the same time, he also secretly dispatched capable guards in the palace to strengthen patrols in the palace, striving to nip all dangers in the bud.

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if.

What he could do was to do his best to represent the royal family at the banquet and ensure the king's personal safety at the banquet.

Early in the morning.

The king of Jiujiang was patrolling with elite armor, and the street where the palace was located was cleared, and merchants and hawkers were strictly ordered to do business.

In a few places on the street where it was easy to hide assassins, the king of Jiujiang even arranged heavy patrols, and the palace was cold and forested.

In the palace, it is very lively.

In order to entertain the kings, the king of Jiujiang paid a lot of money to hire cooks in restaurants all over Longcheng.

Arrange for the palace maids in the palace to serve the kings at the banquet.

Everything is carried out in an orderly manner.

At three o'clock in the morning, the general, the great Sima, and Liang Xuansheng, the Duke of Zhao, took the lead with the ladies of the house, followed by several cooks.

The two uncles and nephews exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Liang Xuansheng approached the king of Jiujiang and whispered, "The emperor may appear at the banquet." ”

"Father?"

"Possibly?"

The King of Jiujiang frowned, full of doubts.

What kind of news is this, such an important matter, it has not been determined.

"It's possible, no one dares to install cronies around the emperor." Liang Xuansheng said in a low voice: "Before I came, I was temporarily recruited into the palace to report the situation of the banquet, and the emperor's tone seemed to be intending to leave the palace, and it seemed that I was asked to reveal the news to you in advance." ”

Yu Guang glanced at a few cooks next to him, and said cautiously: "They are all the cooks of King Qin, and they have been seconded temporarily, Your Highness should know that the emperor is full of praise for the food offered by King Qin." The chef of King Qin came, and it was quite a taste of three hundred taels of silver here. ”

"Thank you, uncle, for the reminder." King Jiujiang nodded, almost sure that his father would come.

Knowing the son is better than the father, and vice versa.

He dared to guarantee that his father would definitely come.

However, Liang Xuansheng hesitated and said, "Your Highness, King Qin's cook...?" ”

Such a big banquet can't tolerate the slightest mistake, and the people used have been strictly checked in advance, and they know the roots, and they don't know the kitchen of King Qin alone!

If King Qin has bad intentions, it will be impossible to guard against it.
