Just when Xue Chongjian was cheering, Li Longji suddenly felt that someone was tugging at his clothes.

He looked back and saw Li Tao looking at him with a smile.

"Tao'er......" Li Longji didn't know what to say.

Li Tao made a gesture and motioned for Li Longji to follow him.

Li Tao led Li Longji and Gao Lishi to King Ning's mansion, and when they arrived outside King Ning's library, Li Tao said to Gao Lishi: "Lux, you look outside, I and Your Majesty are getting on business, don't let outsiders disturb you." ”

Colliers nodded.

Li Tao and Li Longji walked into the house, and Li Chengqi, the king of Ning, was already waiting.

"Third uncle, please take a seat!" Li Tao is like a master.

Li Longji sat down, and was about to speak, Li Tao smiled and said: "Third uncle, I have prepared it for you, you better wash off the disguise ointment on your face, otherwise I and my uncle will feel awkward when they see it." ”

Li Longji nodded.

After the cleansing, the three of them sat down again.

"Third uncle, are you here to find me?" Li Tao asked straight to the point.

Li Longji said: "My life here is not easy, but you don't come to help me, in desperation, I have to make this decision to find you in this way." ”

How could Li Tao not know Li Longji's thoughts, and he was still a little uneasy about himself, and he didn't expose it, but pretended to be wronged: "Third uncle, if you say so, you are wronging Tao'er, Tao'er has been helping you!" ”

"Help me?" Li Longji was a little dissatisfied and said: "You have fun here every day, and you are full of tricks, this can be regarded as helping me?" ”

"San Lang, you really wronged Tao'er. He does go out of his way to help you, and I can attest to that. Li Chengqi said on the side.

Li Longji still respects his eldest brother very much. Li Chengqi said this, I am afraid that there must be a mystery in this, and he asked puzzledly: "Big brother." What's going on here? ”

"San Lang, think about it, since the establishment of our Tang Dynasty, how much chaos this imperial relative has added to the imperial court. Not to mention, Emperor Zetian during the time of Emperor Gaozong, the Wei clan rebels during the time of Emperor Zhongzong, and the Taiping family that was pacified not long ago, which one is not a relative of the emperor? Tao Er was afraid that these royal people would cause you trouble again, so she found me. How could Pavlov understand Pavlov's painstaking efforts when he set up the 'Imperial Club' to keep them entertained all day long and to keep the court in order? ”

Li Chengqi's words made Li Longji suddenly lose his mouth, it turned out that Li Tao still had such a deep meaning in it. Think about it, these days, although I have not been happy, but the people in the royal family have really not caused trouble for themselves. It seems that he still has to thank Li Tao.

Li Chengqi continued: "San Lang, you used to be an idle prince, and you should also understand in your heart, which of these imperial relatives is easy to mess with? Taoer wanted to bring them together. How much effort does it take? Not to mention anything else, in just a few months, Tao'er has posted more than one million yuan into this club. If he wasn't here to help you, why bother? ”

Li Longji glanced at Li Tao gratefully.

"And!" Li Chengqi said unfinished: "You look at the constitution of the 'Imperial Club' again." It is forbidden to discuss the government and make acquaintances with courtiers. Don't oppress the people, which one is not to save you from worries? ”

Li Tao took over: "Third uncle, I didn't do this alone, the eldest uncle, the second uncle, the fourth uncle, and the fifth uncle are all helping you!" ”

"Oh?"

Li Tao said with a smile: "The first time the uncle made a mistake, and this time the fifth uncle made a mistake, it was all arranged in advance!" Otherwise, how can you stop this group of ghostly guys? ”

Li Longji suddenly realized: "Kill a hundred people? ”

"Exactly! Uncle said that the brothers are united in their interests, and their brothers can't help the third uncle, but they must not make trouble for San Lang. ”

Li Longji choked up a little, and he held Li Chengqi's hand: "Big brother, I'm ......"

Li Chengqi sighed and said, "San Lang, your eldest brother knows that if you haven't come to Tao'er for so long, you must be suspicious of him." It's not that the eldest brother said you, you can't worry about anyone, and you can't be worried about Tao'er, the eldest brother dares to vouch for Tao'er with his life, he will definitely not be sorry for you. You got to know Tao'er earlier than the eldest brother, and you know better than the eldest brother in your heart that Tao'er is genuinely helping you, how could you ......"

Li Longji looked ashamed: "Big brother, San Lang is wrong, my father has already told me this." ”

After that, Li Longji looked at Li Tao sincerely: "Tao'er, third uncle ......"

Li Tao smiled: "Third uncle, this matter has passed. However, there is one thing I have to say earlier. ”

"What's the matter, Tao'er, just say it." Li Longji patted his chest and said.

Li Tao said seriously: "The situation in the imperial court is not very good now, I will advance the money of the Imperial Club first, and when the third uncle has money in the future, he will have to pay me back, and my money has been earned back by hard work!" ”

Li Longji was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "Okay, okay, Tao'er, don't worry, if I have money in the future, I will definitely pay you back!" ”

After laughing, Li Longji thought of his troubles again, and he sighed: "Tao'er, you don't know, this is the ...... of the court."

Li Tao interrupted: "Third uncle, don't say it first, let me guess the trouble you are encountering now, see if what I say is accurate, how about it?" ”

Li Longji nodded and said, "Tao'er, you say!" ”

"Third uncle, you are already in power, the ministers in the court are all arranged by you, you wanted to let go and rectify the court, but the result is that everything is restricted, there is nowhere to focus on, there is nowhere to start, only to be anxious. Is that so? ”

Li Longji nodded and said, "Tao'er, what you said is so right, I really don't understand, what is going on?" ”

"Actually, it's very simple, the people you arranged, Third Uncle, are all your people on the surface, but in fact they are not your people!"

Li Longji looked at Li Tao in a daze: "Tao'er, where did you start talking about this?" ”

"Third uncle, knowing yourself and knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, if you want to reverse the current situation, you must figure out the situation in the court. According to the current situation, I have divided the entire forces of the DPRK into four factions. ”

"Which four factions?"

"Let's talk about the first faction first, which is the royal relatives and relatives. The reason why I want to set up a royal club to stabilize them is because their energy is too great, and if they collude with the courtiers, then your life will be even more difficult for you, third uncle. ”

Li Longji nodded.

"This second faction is the Meritorious Hero Faction, among these people, there are those who have followed the third uncle very early, some have made meritorious contributions in the process of destroying the Wei family, and some have made meritorious contributions to the confrontation with Princess Taiping. For example, Liu Youqiu, Zhang Wei, Zhong Shaojing and others. ”

Li Longji continued to listen.

"The third faction is the old vassal faction. These people are all old ministers of Ruizong, Zhongzong, and even Emperor Zetian, who are either prestigious or capable. For example, Zhang Shuo, Guo Yuanzhen, Wang Ju and others. ”

Li Longji asked, "Who are the people of the fourth faction?" ”

Li Tao said with a smile: "These fourth factions are all people who wait and see and ride the wall, and there are all dynasties and dynasties, so you don't have to pay attention to it." (To be continued......)
