Yu strode into the imperial study with a gloomy face, the eunuchs and palace maids behind were far away in their memory, the emperor seemed to have never been so angry since he ascended the throne, as soon as he entered the door, Li Yu ripped off the crown on his head and slammed it to the ground, and several eunuchs in the room were so frightened that they immediately knelt down.

"Get out of here!"

Li Yu lay on his back in the dragon chair, his eyes were fixed on the roof above his head, his teeth bit his lips out of two deep blood marks, today, he suffered an unprecedented defeat, Zhang Yi, whom he trusted and was ready to reuse, was actually slaughtered by Li Qing for the crime of collaborating with the enemy, not only that, such an obvious planting, no minister came out to refute, it seems that they were all frightened by Li Qing's five thousand cavalry, and even the master was on Li Qing's side.

In fact, Li Yu also knew that Li Mi was for his own good, but his position of favoring Li Qing made him resentful, he felt unprecedented isolation, no one in the court of the Tang Dynasty was willing to die for him, he rubbed his temples hard, and his heart screamed with sorrow, "Do I really want to be a puppet emperor?" ”

"Your Majesty! Are you angry for that Li Qing again? ”

The voice was clear and sweet, Li Yu sighed softly, turned around and grabbed her hand, this is a concubine he recently accepted, extremely favored, her name is Changsun Lanyu, she is the only daughter of Guo Ziyi's general Changsun Quanxu, and Changsun Quanxu is also a Tang nobleman, is the heir of Changsun Wuji in the early Tang Dynasty, the family is huge, and Changsun Quanxu also has 20,000 treasures under his army, currently stationed in Puzhou, Hedong.

The eldest grandson, Lanyu, was smart and clever, very good at pleasing Li Yu, and proficient in writing and ink, so Gu Li Yu allowed her to enter his study. Hearing her voice, Li Yu's anger disappeared by half, and he sat his eldest grandson Lanyu on his lap. He said angrily: "I only hate that I have no soldiers in my hands, not more." As long as there are a few thousand loyal people, I can personally lead them to reclaim what belongs to me. ”

The eldest grandson Lanyu lowered her head and thought for a while, she suddenly raised her head and said to Li Yu: "Otherwise, the concubine will write a letter to her father and ask him to support the emperor!" ”

Li Yu originally just said a few angry words. But the eldest grandson Lan Yudi's words seemed to open a window for him, making him see the bright sunshine all of a sudden, and Li Yu immediately said excitedly: "The eldest grandson has been loyal and good for generations. How did I forget you! Concubine Ai can immediately contact General Changsun. If there is news. Notify me immediately! ”

The eldest grandson, Lanyu, turned around and put his arms around his neck. Gently tapped the tip of his nose with his jade finger. Coquettishly said: "You are not allowed to call the general." To be called Guozhang! ”

Li Yu listened to her voice coquettishly. The fire under the belly gradually rose. The hands are also starting to be dishonest.

At this time, Ma Yingjun, who was guarding the door, was in a very complicated mood, and he knew very well the cause and effect of Zhang Yi's killing. It was his own secret report that gave him his life. However, Bian Lingcheng did not come back. But it made him breathe a long sigh of relief, and he deeply sympathized with the emperor's misfortune. But he hated him for not understanding his difficulties, and the struggle in the palace was much more cruel than in the court.

Ma Yingjun was freeing himself in his heart. Suddenly, he saw a large group of palace maids from a distance walking briskly towards this side with Queen Shen Pearl in their arms. He immediately whispered to the room, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here."

Shen Pearl's sudden arrival interrupted Li Yu's sexuality, and his face sank. Said unhappily: "Let her go back, I don't want to see her!" ”

"Why doesn't the emperor want to see his concubines, is there any inconvenience?" Shen Zhuzhu's face was as cold as ice, extremely ugly. She had just heard a report that the emperor was angry, and returned angrily, worried that he would admit death and couldn't figure it out. She hurriedly came to convince her, but she was closed, and she saw that several palace maids from Lan Yudi, the eldest grandson of the marquis, were also standing outside, and she immediately understood that she had taken the lead, and this was a normal thing in the palace. But the emperor actually made her unable to get off the stage in front of another woman, which made her feel very uncomfortable, and this was in the imperial study. It is a place to deal with major events in the world, but the eldest grandson Lanyu seduces the emperor to prostitution. If the matter spreads, the emperor's reputation will be ruined.

"Your Majesty, the lights are still on in the imperial study so late, and the ministers are encouraging themselves to be diligent in the emperor's administration, although the concubines are not good. But for the emperor's good, please take care of your body and go back to the palace early! ”

After a while, the eldest grandson Lanyu ran away from another door in a hurry, but Li Yu slowly opened the door and said with a cold face: "The queen can come in." ”

Shen Pearl entered the study, only to see that there was a peach-colored belt hanging on Li Yudi's dragon chair. She was extremely dissatisfied. But he still forced a smile and said, "The concubine heard that Your Majesty was wronged today. Therefore, I have come to visit, hoping that Your Majesty will take a long-term view. Don't care about the gains and losses in front of you, the concubines also know that Han Xin was humiliated in the past and was not surprised, and she was angry and studious to become a great weapon in the end; The ancestor of the Han Dynasty was born in the pavilion, and there were many setbacks in his life, but he repeatedly struggled and worked hard, and finally laid down the Han dynasty for four hundred years. ”

If Li Yu was the king of Chu, Shen Zhu's words would definitely move him in his heart, but now that he heard it, he felt extremely harsh, and he snorted coldly: "The queen's responsibility is to maintain the order of the inner palace, not to interfere in politics, not to intervene in state affairs, you have broken the rules in my imperial study, please don't say anything that is not in line with your identity, if there is nothing else, you can go!" ”

Shen Pearl saw her husband's indifferent words, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, how humble and polite Li Yu was when he was king, but after becoming the emperor, for the gain and loss of power, he seemed to have completely changed a person and became extremely strange, Shen Pearl was also a very strong woman, seeing that Li Yu not only did not listen to advice, but also made sarcastic remarks, she could no longer hold back the anger in her heart, and knelt down and retorted: "The concubine is the queen, and it is not false that she is not allowed to interfere in politics, but when did the concubine ask about state affairs?" Since the emperor keeps saying that the rules are not allowed for the concubines to come to the imperial study, why can the eldest grandson Jieyu enter casually, she is just a Jieyu, and she only arrived at the queen after nine concubines and four concubines, but the emperor took her inside and left me out, why don't you talk about the rules in this palace? ”

She argued with reason, so that Li Yu was speechless, his face couldn't hold back, he was trembling with anger, he pointed at Shen Pearl and reprimanded: "Although the eldest grandson is just Jieyu, she is from a famous family. Her father can help me, much more effective than you, a useless queen, and you dare to stab me in my face again. I'll destroy you! ”

Tears welled up in Shen Zhudi's eyes, she never expected her husband to be so cold and ruthless. She was discouraged for a moment, said no more, saluted, got up and walked away slowly.

Li Yu's mood became worse and worse. He slammed the door and said, 'Bang! The ground shut Shen Pearl out of the door, at this time. A eunuch was hurrying in. Seeing this scene, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak. But it happened to be Li Yu

I saw it in an instant.

After a long time, he slowly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty. Li Zhanshi asked to see him outside the palace! ”

Li Yu let out a long sullen breath, "Call him in!" ”

He knew that Li Mi would inevitably come, so he specially waited for him in the imperial study, and after a while, Li Mi hurried over and entered the room, but locked Ma Yingjun, who was about to follow up, out of the door. Although he couldn't guess that it was Ma Yingjun who leaked the secret, if he wanted to talk to Li Yu today, he must not let a third person hear it.

Li Yu walked quickly in front of Li Yu, bowed to him and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is still diligent in government so late, it is really a blessing for the Tang Dynasty!" ”

"I'm actually a little tired, master, please take a seat!" Li Yu picked up a book and flipped through it, then threw it on the table and sighed: "As soon as he comes back." I'm afraid I won't be able to be the master of these twists and turns. ”

"Today, Li Qing killed Zhang Yi, and the minister thought it was a good thing."

Seeing the surprise in the emperor's eyes, Li Mi stroked his long beard and smiled, and slowly enlightened him: "Zhang Yi seems to think about His Majesty in everything, but he chooses His Majesty's words to speak, so that His Majesty feels that he always seems to be to the point, and he believes it, but in fact, he is harming His Majesty." Don't talk about it from afar, let's talk about Guo Ziyi, last time His Majesty told me that he wanted to replace Li Qing with Guo Ziyi, this is probably Zhang Yi's idea! If this is done, Your Majesty is afraid that great disaster will befall you. ”

Li Yu's gaze suddenly became solemn, he summoned Guo Ziyi to Beijing this time because of this intention, but Li Yu's words seemed to pour cold water on him.

"Master, please tell me more!"

Li Mi nodded slightly. continued: "Zhang Yi is actually just a politician. He can only talk in generalities. The words seem to be good, but they are passed by in the details. But if you really want to do something, you have to start from the details, or about Guo Ziyi, Zhang Yi only said that he would replace Li Qing, but what about Guo Ziyi's own attitude? What kind of person is he? Can he replace Li Qing? If so, how? Is it to directly seize Li Qing's military power, or let them fight hard? And the most critical thing, was he subdued by Li Qing? If you don't even understand this clearly, you rashly tell him that Your Majesty wants to use him as the Generalissimo, if he turns around and tells Li Qing, won't Your Majesty be in trouble? ”

Speaking of this, Li Mi sighed and said: "Judging from Guo Ziyi's performance today, he is indeed a very sleek person, on the surface, he knelt and kowtowed to His Majesty, saying that the courtesy of a monarch and a minister cannot be abolished, but when Li Qing accused Zhang Yi of collaborating with the enemy, he was also fighting in Luoyang, and he could stand up and speak for His Majesty, but he was silent, how could His Majesty entrust him with great things?" ”

Li Yu's face turned slightly red, he didn't think about what the master said, he really planned to summon Guo Ziyi tomorrow and talk to him about taking over Li Qing's military power, and now he felt that he was a little Meng Lang.

"Master, what should I do?" Li Yu sighed helplessly, and unconsciously, he replaced the word 'I' with the word 'I', as if he had returned to his modest and studious youth.

"Patience!" Li Mi said the word heavily, "I still have the same old saying, endure and wait for the time!" ”

Li Yu shook his head and said unwillingly: "But master, I'm really unbearable, now that the thief is gone, it's the time to be in ruins, I, no!" I really want to show my strength and do a good job, but there is a big mountain in front of Li Qing! ”

Li Mi quietly looked at this young king, you can feel his anxious heart, this is a monarch who grew up in the deep palace, and there is still a lack of setbacks and tempering, how can he be the opponent of Li Qing, who has been fighting in the officialdom for ten years, but in a few months of imperial career, he has also begun to make some progress, at least today he endured it, this is a good sign, over time, he will become more and more old and mature, and he can completely have a fight with Li Qing.

Thinking of this, he smiled faintly and said: "Actually, Your Majesty is not without things to do, although Your Majesty can't move Li Qingdi's military power, but he can move Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi's military power, especially Guo Ziyi, several generals under him such as Wei Boyu, Li Baoyu, Changsun Quanxu, Zhang Zhijie, Wu Chongfu, etc., these are either children of the capital family, or they are from the Yulin Army, and they can be loyal to Your Majesty, if I guess correctly, Li Qing will inevitably go to Xiangzhou to fight An Qingxu, Your Majesty can take the opportunity to transfer these loyal and virtuous people to Beijing and seize Guo Ziyi's military power, and at that time, Li Qing will not dare to act rashly against Your Majesty. ”

At this moment, Li Yu had no sense of frustration at all, he remembered the words of the eldest grandson Lanyu, and immediately said excitedly: "I can use the eldest grandson Quanxu as a breakthrough and let him contact me one by one, as long as I have soldiers in hand and the righteousness of the king, unless Li Qing follows An Lushan and rebels, how can he replace me?" ”

But Li Mi didn't seem to be infected by his emotions, he was a little worried, stared out of the window and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the minister has been thinking about a question these days, and the minister is most worried that Li Qing will one day climb the big tree of the Li family's royal land, and declare that he is also the queen of Gaozu, so that once the time is ripe in the future, he is very likely to do the work of codifying the throne, so the top priority is to set Li Qing's name, so that he can not take this step." ”

The two sentences that suddenly appeared made Li Yu's face change greatly, yes! Li Qing is also surnamed Li, if he really calls himself a certain branch of the royal family, Zongzheng Temple does not dare not listen, this is indeed a big thing, thanks to the master first mentioned it, he settled down, and hurriedly asked: "Then how can he determine his name?" ”

Li Mi sighed slightly, "It stands to reason that it is very simple, Your Majesty only needs to give his ancestors a heavy seal and reveal his identity to the world first, but the problem is that the minister has searched through the information of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, and sent people to Yilong to visit his underground details, but he can't find his household registration, only know that he was a Taoist priest at the earliest, and his parents and family don't know anything, this matter is really difficult to do!" Unless.

"Unless what?" Li Yu asked urgently.

"Unless he is willing to accept the ancestors appointed to him by His Majesty, such as Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, if he is willing to accept, then the possibility of usurping the throne is gone."

Li Yu let out a long sigh, "This matter will be handed over to the minister to talk to him!" ”
