Early the next morning, the princes from all walks of life sent their subordinates to the door of the prime minister's mansion one after another, but they were really rejected by the housekeeper.

"Everyone, please go back, our Prime Minister said that no matter which prince you are, you will not see any guest, and you can leave the post." At the door, the old butler spoke loudly.

Everyone was stunned, although they were a little disappointed, but they did not hesitate, and they stepped forward to send the greetings and gifts to the old housekeeper before leaving.

In the study, Li De sat at the table, looking at the post in his hand, silent.

At this time, the old butler walked in, holding the prayer posts sent by the princes from all walks of life, "Master, three more families have sent worship posts." ”

"Yes, put it down." Li De nodded.

The old housekeeper put down the post, glanced at Li De's contemplative appearance, hesitated for a moment, and said softly, "Master, these princes have come to visit you, are they really missing?" ”

"What are you doing? It's all here to win over the old man, no need to ask, you just need to accept their posts. Li De replied in a deep voice.

"Yes, sir." The old butler hurriedly bowed down and said a word and withdrew.

Li De looked at the posts on the table, most of the princes from all walks of life came, and to his surprise, the princes in the forefront had not yet come.

The Song family's Jianwei Hou was transferred away by the emperor and handed over 800,000 troops, he was quite surprised when he heard the news, when was the emperor so clever, he would have thought of asking for 800,000 troops on the grounds of a great urgency at the border pass, but after thinking about it carefully, how could Song Xue be so easy to fool, it is estimated that he doesn't know how to drag it out after going back.

Beizhou Zhang's Zhang family's Ying Tianhou Zhang Shun, is very cunning, is an indecisive, see the wind and rudder of the villain, when relying on the emperor to fight with Dayin, the continuous supply of grain and grass and sycophants got the gift of the emperor, but he will only hide behind, never been a pioneer, as a soldier but so greedy for life and afraid of death, Li De has long despised it.

Liu Yuan, the prince of Qiaozhou, a brave and unscrupulous person, relying on the royal bloodline, recruited troops and horses, not to mention, and now he even brought 30,000 soldiers and horses to the parliament, bold, and now the emperor died early, he is not shy about it, it seems that the emperor who wants to be the emperor of the Nine Shadows wants to go crazy, and the person who is most likely to rebel this time should be him.

There is also a Mo Jiaping Xianghou of Dongzhou, Mo Yang is the strongest among many princes, and he is a foreign surname, occupying Dongzhou for decades, and has been holding back, in the past, there were only three or two thousand representatives of the court, ranking in the middle status of the princes from all walks of life, and now the emperor has died, the fox's tail is finally exposed, others don't know that he has the heart of rebellion, he Li De knows it, if the court meeting makes Mo Yang's old fox gain power, it is the great misfortune of the nine shadows.

Putting down the post, Li De pondered: Recently, the emperor has taken care of him, and Liu Xuan was also vague and confused about the defeat of Wei Qing last time, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is deliberately done by the emperor.

This kind of obvious meaning made Li De a little uncomfortable, he knew that this might be related to the princes coming to the court to win him over, and it was understandable that the emperor favored him.

But what made him care was not partiality or impartiality, but the deep meaning behind this partiality - the emperor was not incompetent.

can think that the emperor who relied on Wei Qing's defeat to support him and had no intention of blaming him, how could it be the rumored weak and incompetent and brainless faint monarch, obviously, this is also for him, the prime minister.

It means that Liu Xuan is the emperor, as long as he is there, this Jiuyou is his, and no prince can replace him, and the prime minister is his prime minister, and he can't think about it.

If it had been placed in the past, Li De would never have thought like this, this is a tacit understanding between smart people, this Liu Xuan is obviously a smart person.

Thinking of this, Li De chuckled, a few days ago, he also arranged for Li Yuelian to make trouble in the harem for a while, and bumped into him in front of Liu Xuan.

But Liu Xuan didn't care, but he had been avoiding Li Yuelian these days, and he didn't even go to Qingyue Palace anymore.

This point also clearly tells Li De: the queen is still the queen, and he is still the emperor.

Standing up, Li De walked out of the study, looked at the clear sky, and his heart was inexplicably relaxed.

If the emperor really has the ambition to be shocked, I don't know which prince to attack first

In a room in the inn, several dancing girls are scratching their heads in the middle, and there are several doormen sitting on both sides, and in the first seat in front, a fat man squints at those dancing girls.

"Master Hou, are we really not going to visit the Prime Minister?" At this time, a middle-aged doorman on one side was worried.

Most of the princes from all walks of life went to visit, although they knew that the prime minister had announced that he would refuse to see guests, but this post was not sent, is it too high-profile.

"Did you see Jianwei waiting for Mo Yang to send it?" Zhang Shun glanced at the doorman.

"Nope." The doorman replied.

"Then did you see that the outer prince Liu Yuan went to deliver it?" Zhang Shun asked again.

"Nope." The doorman replied.

"Then did you see Wu Shen, the king of Hengshan, go to deliver it?" Zhang Shun asked again.

"No," the doorman replied respectfully.

"Since these great princes didn't send it, why did I, a little Ying Tianhou, risk my death to send the post?" Zhang Shun said with a look of hatred that iron is not made of steel.

"This," the doorman looked stunned.

"I Zhang Shun has many shortcomings, but there is one thing that no one else can compare." Zhang Shun grabbed a piece of chicken leg on the table and said, "Intuition." ”

"Intuition?" Everyone was stunned.

Zhang Shun said proudly, "I think that back then, the first emperor went to Beiyin, passing through Beizhou, my intuition told me, this is my great opportunity, I gave up the identity of the Beizhou officials, and resolutely followed the emperor to fight in the south and the north, and has always been the emperor's most trusted escort officer for the supply of grain and grass, since then, I have known, and my future will depend on this." ”

Everyone heard this and showed a clear look, this past, they have all heard, Zhang Shun was just a small county order in Beizhou, when the emperor passed through Beizhou, Zhang Shun resolutely resigned from the leisurely county order, and took the initiative to take a few subordinates to defect to the emperor's command.

As the grain and grass escort officer of the emperor's million-strong army, the emperor had no worries, and the emperor would take him to the north and south for several battles in the future, and he would be invincible.

After each victory, the emperor greatly rewarded Zhang Shun's merits, and finally after the nine secluds were settled, he stayed in Beizhou and sealed him for a day.

"Now the princes have not sent posts, and my intuition tells me that if I send them, I will leave a handle, so we don't need to send them anymore." Zhang Shun took a sip of water and wine, and said, "Now let's wait for the court meeting with peace of mind." ”

"Hou Ye is wise!" Immediately the crowd bowed down in response
