"Although the Wei State was also a large country, it was mostly a bitter cold land, with continuous mountains and few plains, while the Li Dynasty was dominated by plains, with many rivers and lakes, and most of the areas were rich in products and resources. Since the king of Xishan married his sister, the two of them have been very close, and later the princess of the Wei Kingdom died early, but the king of Xishan put this note on the head of his father, and since then, he has a rebellious heart, and has conspired with the Wei emperor for many years, with the purpose of wanting to seize the world of the Li Dynasty——"

"The king of Xishan is also the son of the first emperor, how can he bear to see his country being divided?" asked Yao Jin puzzled.

Li Zheng shook his head, "I also asked my father about this, but he didn't answer, presumably King Xishan has experienced something, or maybe his original heart is like this, and now there is no way to know." The important thing is that he holds the Beiping Army, and has cultivated a lot of forces in the court over the years; although his father knows it, he ascended the throne at a young age, and his foundation is already thin, although he has tried his best to cultivate his own faction to compete with it for many years, and married the queen with the help of the Xiguan Army, but the Beiping Army has always stood tall. For the sake of the peace of the north, the father has never had a suitable opportunity, so he has not moved the king of Xishan. ”

"And now—is there a chance to move him, a perfect plan?"

"You have also stayed in Zichen Hall for a while, haven't you noticed that since last winter, Beiping Mountain has been extremely quiet, and the commotions and small rebellions that used to be from time to time are gone, and the emperor suddenly announced the marriage of Bengong and Jiaoqian at the New Year's banquet. Do you know why?"

Yao Jin thought about it sideways and said, "Could it be that something happened within the Wei State...... Is it Emperor Wei?"

"Yes," Li Zheng nodded, "Emperor Wei suddenly fell seriously ill last winter, and although the news of Wei was severely blocked, our spies still sent a message back to say that although Emperor Wei was fine in the short term, he was greatly injured this time, and he may not live long." And Prince Wei has always been kind and soft, and he likes peace, and although Wei and Li Dynasty have not been particularly friendly in recent years, they have never had any major wars, and Prince Wei will not continue to collude with King Xishan like his father. ”

"If Emperor Wei doesn't live long, won't the King of Xishan have no backer?"

"Therefore, whether it is the King of Xishan or the Emperor of Wei himself, they all hope that something will happen as soon as possible, as long as there is chaos within the Li Dynasty, the surrounding countries will definitely take advantage of the chaos to rob, and then the Wei State, as the strongest neighbor in the surrounding country, will be able to go south in one fell swoop——"

"But what do these things have to do with Yuebai?" Yao Jin looked at Li Zheng suspiciously.

"Listen to me, my father had a plan to get rid of the King of Xishan, although he did not let the palace participate, but according to my guess, it should be planned to marry Wei on the surface, after all, Prince Wei has no concubine when he reaches his age, and his father wants to influence Prince Wei by marrying a smart and capable princess in the past, and maybe he can also use some means in Wei to interfere with or drag the uprising of Emperor Wei and King Xishan, but-" Li Zheng looked at Yao Jin a few times: "I think his original candidate must be you, but somehow you got along with Murong Zihua again." ”

"Please pay attention to your wording," Yao Jin rolled his eyes, "I have nothing to do with Murong Zihua's affairs. ”

"Li Chaoxia will be from this palace in the future, and now you will take away the nine cities and one river with one marriage, it is a large rich land, how can it not have anything to do with this palace?"

"Ha!" Yao Jin smiled bitterly in his heart, but his face was disdainful: "If you are reluctant to have nine cities and one river, you can go and ask your former good friend Murong Zihua and your father and emperor, and if you have the ability, you can lead the troops to fight a battle with the Min State by yourself, grab the territory back, and talk to me here." ”

Li Zheng didn't care about her ridicule, and still said as usual: "I will naturally come back to Jiucheng and Yijiang, but not now." What I'm going to talk about now is the most important part of the whole thing, and it's also the part related to the white moon. ”

"Speak quickly!"

"Since the road of marriage did not work, my father chose another path. At the annual banquet that day, I was asked to make a marriage contract with Jiaoqian, one was to appease the king of Xishan at that time, in fact, it was also to confuse him, in fact, Lin Fengtai has been raising his daughter in Buyunguan, and kept it secret from the outside world, just to win the attention of everyone in the palace in one fell swoop, and then widely spread the statement that she was the fate of Tianfeng, and the palace - the prince of the Li Dynasty will fall in love with her at first sight, and then ask her father to make her the crown princess, and will definitely do a lot of ridiculous things for her. At that time, the king of Xishan will not be able to hold his face, and he will definitely ask for his daughter to enter the palace, but no matter how many times he invites, the emperor's father will say that he is very embarrassed and will not make any decisions. At this time, Si Tiantai will come out and tell his father that only one of the two girls is the real crown princess and the future **, and the two of them must go to the altar to worship the sky to be able to identify. ”

Yao Jin was a little confused, but when he heard the sacrifice to the roof, he suddenly understood a little: "The place where the sacrifice to the Tiantai is a major event of the state, and even the emperor can't enter it at will, but if Yuebai and Jiaoqian go to worship the sky, then the King of Xishan must follow him personally, so you want to click the King of Xishan in that place?"

Li Zheng nodded, but Yao Jin was still very puzzled: "If you just want to click the King of Xishan, whether it is to use poison, killers, or buy off the people around him, it is not difficult, after all, he is not a martial arts master who is difficult to get close to, why bother so much?"

"Yao Jin, use your clever mind to think about it, what happened to the Sacrifice Tiantai? As the former female official of the Zichen Palace, haven't you heard of it?"

Yao Jin was stunned for a moment, she frowned and thought about it, and suddenly her face changed, and she exclaimed: "The emperor's brother back then-"

Li Zheng's face became gloomy and calm: "The emperor's elder brother, the crown prince of the year, was trying to assassinate the first emperor when he was sacrificing to the heavens, but he was struck by thunder and died instantly. If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Wei, who had returned to Wei at that time to claim the title of emperor, he wanted to bring the army to 'help' the Li Dynasty on the grounds that 'the Li Dynasty has no queen, and the strong Wei can help it', the first emperor would not have hurriedly set up the four princes who he didn't like at that time, but the highest voice of the government and the opposition as the crown prince, of course, that is, you and my father. ”

Yao Jin listened to it and said coldly: "These are just some records and rumors, but who knows what the real situation was at that time-"

"The situation at that time is no longer important," Li Zheng interrupted her: "The important thing is that since the thunder of the Tiantai can kill the rebels, of course, he can also kill the rebellious ministers! You should understand how much people in this era believe in heaven and believe in the stars and signs, and no one dares to disobey the will of heaven!"
