The facts are exactly the opposite of the information Liu Qian saw, and it is the crown prince Liu Yan's side who has the advantage in this power struggle.

Although Han Kemin's faction still had an advantage in the court, and Yan Ming and An Jingbian couldn't raise their heads when they suppressed it, Liu Yan secretly had already grasped the control of the northern and southern battalions and the forbidden army, and with the secret support of some neutral factions, the situation was very favorable.

In the face of this favorable situation, it was one of Liu Yan's ideas that went bad. For this open and secret battle with Li Guifei, Liu Yan believes that he should not make a public announcement, since the military power has fallen into his own hands, and Li Guifei's party has not been able to turn over the big waves, then it is necessary to let the situation be carried out in secret as much as possible, so as not to cause turmoil in the hearts of the people. Therefore, Liu Yan deliberately controlled the spread of the news, and there was nothing wrong with the handling of this matter, but as a result, many surrounding areas were completely ignorant of this battle, which also became one of the reasons why Liu Qian could not determine the state of affairs.

On the other hand, on Concubine Li's side, long before the situation began to become unfavorable to her, she had already set up this strategy to trick Liu Qian into raising troops. And the reason why she was able to complete this plan with confidence in her own resourcefulness was on the one hand, and on the other hand, she arranged a chess piece by the side of the emperor Liu Yutong for many years, serving Lu Hai.

The chamberlain Lu Hai has served by Liu Yutong's side for many years, because he is smart and clever, he is deeply loved by Liu Yutong and has become one of the two major chamberlains around Liu Yutong. It was this Lu Hai who had been bought by Li Guifei a few years ago. However, after Li Guifei bought Lu Hai, except for a very few life-and-death events, Lu Hai was never used to listen to intelligence, so even if she was as shrewd as Liu Yutong, she couldn't see the clues. But Wu Sicheng touched a little edge. It's a pity that because Lu Hai is secretive, Wu Sicheng can't find any clues after many investigations.

This time, Li Guifei used the information provided by Lu Hai. Liu Yutong and Liu Qian's previous correspondence would deliberately write the unspoken word incorrectly, so Lu Hai judged that this was the code agreed between the emperor and Liu Qian. Li Guifei used this valuable information to forge the first two letters, and asked Lu Hai to secretly seal them with the emperor's private seal. However, the last two letters of Li Guifei deliberately did not use a code, and stamped the emperor's jade seal that she secretly imitated. In this way, these two completely different letters will definitely make Liu Qian fall into confusion, in his eyes, these two letters must be true and false, and judging by the content of the first two letters with codes, it will naturally be concluded that it was Liu Yutong and Liu Yan's original intention to raise troops to go south. As long as Liu Qian joins the army, then his charge of forging a holy decree to raise an army and rebelling will be confirmed.

On the sixth night of the first month of September, the emperor Liu Yutong died. But Concubine Li didn't get the news until the morning of the seventh day of the new year. As for Han Kemin, he only got the news at noon on the seventh day of the first month. It turned out that Liu Yan had already made arrangements by the emperor's side, and after the emperor was critically ill, the entire dormitory was completely blocked, and no news could be sent out. If it weren't for Lu Hai taking advantage of the chaos after the emperor's death to quietly leak out and report the news, Li Guifei would still be kept in the dark.

Knowing that she was calculated by Liu Yan, Concubine Li couldn't help but clench Luo Pa in her hand. On the one hand, she regretted that she had arranged so many people to get eyeliner, but in the end, she was robbed by Liu Yan of a chess move. On the other hand, because of the sea in front of him, not only did he fail to send information at a critical moment, but this slipping into his palace was equivalent to exposing the relationship between the two, and the emperor died. Lu Hai's chess piece has lost its value, and Li Guifei will never tolerate it if she wants to cause more trouble for a chess piece that has lost its value. looked at Lu Hai's expectant eyes. Li Guifei took a sip of the tea bowl and stabilized her mood. Then he said: "Thank you Gonggong Lu for coming to report the news, this palace must be thankful." Father-in-law and sit down for a while. Drink a few glasses of wine, and wait for the palace to make a little arrangement before coming to accompany you. ”

Lu Hai hurriedly knelt on the ground: "How dare the slave dare to work the concubine Niangniang, the slave is grateful for the grace of the mother." ”

Concubine Li Guifei motioned for Lu Hai to retreat, and then gave the palace maid beside her a look. The palace maid took the order and left, she already understood that Concubine Li Guifei signaled to poison Lu Hai's wine, and then dispose of the corpse. In this way, even if someone finds out that Lu Hai has been here, he can only die without proof.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Guifei confirmed two things. First, Liu Yan's succession to the throne has become a foregone conclusion, and this night's hard work is enough for him to transform the opportunity into an unshakable certainty; Second, his plan against Liu Qian will become a trump card to reverse the situation, and it is no longer enough to just charge Liu Qian with rebellion, the plan now is to make Liu Qian's rebellion a fact, and it is best to be able to fight against Liu Qian and fight each other, so as to consume the power of Liu Yan's camp. After making up her mind, Concubine Li Guifei revised the two secret letters.

After sending the two secret letters, Concubine Li Guifei called her confidant Qing'er and said, "You quickly leave the palace to inform my grandfather that the emperor has passed away, and we have lost the opportunity, so let him quickly prepare to enter the palace to worship the new emperor." He was also informed of his readiness to implement the fourth package. ”

Qing'er took the order and left. Li Guifei ordered someone to strengthen the guard of her son Liu Xian in case of accidents, and after all these arrangements were stopped, Li Guifei fell into deep thought.

At present, although his own faction has some advantages above the court, its influence on the army is very limited, and now it is seized by Liu Yan, once Liu Yan ascends the throne, then the army of the whole country will be loyal to him. Even if Liu Qian's rebellion was successful this time, causing a feeling of ignorance in the army, those troops could not exert influence on themselves. If Liu Xian is to be kept on the throne, the support of the army will be indispensable.

Although I heard my grandfather mention that he had dealings with the Turkic Khan Abichilir, it was only a slight personal relationship, and I am afraid that it was not even friendly. Now that it is difficult to control the army, it seems that it is a helpless choice to ask Tuqi to send reinforcements to support Liu Qian's succession. However, it is easier to invite God than to send God, and if the Turks are really brought in, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not cause greater trouble, as the past history provides countless examples. Although Concubine Li covets the throne, if her son can't hold power in the end, then all this will be meaningless. Tuchi is a wolf, a wolf that is difficult to tame, what does it take to drive this wolf?

Concubine Li Guifei fell into contemplation again. (To be continued......)
