readx; Li Zhen never expected Yan Kai to come at this time, and he had a feeling in his heart, could it be that something had changed in the East Palace dispute?

Li Zhen also learned not long ago that Peng Wang Li only entered the dispute for the crown prince, and his son Li Yi and Li only had an excellent relationship, and it was for this reason that when Li Heng asked him for his opinion on whether Li Yi could be established as the crown prince, he did not hesitate to express his support.

"It is a rush for quick success and quick profit, and the ambition is too high, which is not conducive to the stability of the East Palace......"

This is his original suggestion to Li Heng, it is this sentence that knocks heavily in Li Heng's heart, in fact, this is the fundamental reason why Li Heng wants to change the crown prince, just like Li Longji abolished the prince several times back then, the rapid rise of the prince has threatened the stability of Li Heng's throne.

Li Zhen knew this very well, and when Li Heng was on his expedition to Xiangyang, the Li family, relying on the support of Empress Zhang and Li Fuguo, interfered in the appointment and dismissal of major personnel without authorization, which made Li Heng seriously dissatisfied with him, and also directly led to today's crisis in the East Palace.

But it also made Li Zhen see an opportunity, if Li Zhen can successfully ascend the throne, then he Li Zhen will also get huge benefits from this.

The footsteps had already reached the door, and the voice of his eldest son Li Yi came from outside, "Mr. Yan, father is waiting for you in the room, please come in!" ”

Li Zhen felt a little relieved by his son's courtesy, and he should propose to Li Heng that his son should be an official in the court.

The door opened, Yan Kai walked in from the outside, and when he entered the door, he smiled and said, "Uninvited, disturbing the prince's rest." ”

Yan Kai was appointed as the staff of Peng Wang Li only half a year ago, before that, he had always claimed to be accompanying King Qing to the last moment, and Li Li, the son of King Qing, also stood up to testify for him, but in fact, he left King Qing a few years ago, and even he didn't know where King Qing died?

A few years ago, he was poor and took refuge in Li Qing'an, but he was severely suppressed and forced to be a small clerk, and later under Li Qing'an's arrangement, he went to Bukhara, and was responsible for sorting out the human and geographical data of the countries in the river and the big food in the university in Bukhara, and he did it for a year, and he knew his true identity, he was already a member of the Anxi Intelligence Hall, but not for the Central Plains, but in charge of the river and the big food.

A year ago, he was instructed to go to Tuozhi City, the capital of Shiguo, to take care of the dying Qing King Li Cong, and finally got Li Cong's handwritten recommendation letter and Wang Yin, after the death of King Qing, he left for Chengdu, and walked into the core layer of the Southern Tang Dynasty step by step with his intelligence.

Yan Kai is Li Wei's most trusted staff member and Li Wei's military advisor, it stands to reason that he should have known about the East Palace dispute in the Southern Tang Dynasty for a long time, but in fact, the East Palace dispute in the Southern Tang Dynasty has been carried out in an extremely hidden way for a long time, Li Heng is a shady person, he has been slowly working to weaken the crown prince and quietly take away the military power.

Until recently, the dispute between Li Fuguo and Wang Heng's intelligence agency surfaced, and everyone gradually realized that Li Heng had the intention of changing the prince, and Li Wei was also called by his father and talked in detail for a long time, and Yan Kai only learned about the changes in the East Palace of the Southern Tang Dynasty from Li Wei's mouth.

Once the situation is clear, the situation changes very quickly, and this morning's raid is also a metaphor for the great change in the situation, and many people are tense, and Yan Kai was sent by Li Zhen to discuss countermeasures in this situation.

There was no excessive greeting, both of them knew it, Li Zhen invited Yan Kai to sit down, and went directly to the topic, "Mr. Yan, has there been any change on King Peng's side?" ”

Yan Kai nodded, "I just got the news that Hubu Shangshu Ling Hufei strongly opposed the change of the crown prince, and under his leadership, a group of officials jointly asked to maintain the stability of the East Palace, coupled with the support of Li Fuguo and Empress Zhang for the crown prince, now that the prince's voice has gained the upper hand, King Peng is very distressed, and ordered me to discuss countermeasures with the prince." ”

Li Zhen bowed his head and was silent, he was very clear about the situation in front of him, the prince and King Peng had their own advantages, the prince was mainly supported by the inner palace, including Li Fuguo and Empress Zhang, while King Peng was supported by the imperial court, represented by Wang Heng on the right and Cui Yuan on the left, both strongly supported the wise King Peng, and opposed the Li family who stood by force, it can be said that both sides have their own advantages, and King Peng's advantage is large, and finally it is the decision of Emperor Li Heng.

But he didn't expect that Ling Hufei's sudden attack caused the situation to change suddenly, so that the prince not only had the support of the inner palace, but also the support of the court officials, so that King Peng's momentum dropped sharply.

Li Zhen couldn't think of a good countermeasure for a while, so she asked, "What does His Royal Highness King Peng mean?" ”

"His Royal Highness King Peng means that he hopes to get the support of the clan"

Yan Kai's words were concise and to the point, Li Zhen suddenly understood, the clan is another force, enough to offset Ling Hufei's opposition, and he is the Zongzheng Siqing, and he also has a relatively high reputation in the clan, so Li only asked Yan Kai to come to him, wanting to let himself come forward in a high-profile manner and publicly support Li Wei in the name of the clan, this trick is clever!

Li Zhen couldn't help but glance at Yan Kai, this method is ten ** Yan Kai thought of this, Li is only a little tender, but Li Zhen is more concerned about his interests, if he comes forward in a high-profile manner, then he will take a great risk, once the Li family wins in the end, then the first thing is to clean him up Li Zhen.

The reward of this risk, he must be clear first, Li Zhen gently stroked his beard and smiled: "In fact, the clan is not very united, each has its own thoughts, to put it bluntly, they are all people who value profit, if you want the support of the clan, King Peng must first express his position, how to repay the clan in the future, I can contact them one by one." ”

Yan Kai couldn't help but curse shamelessly, isn't this just a clear bargain? But he also thought of this in advance, he had already told King Peng that people can't afford to be unprofitable, and if they want to get support, they must come up with something that makes others happy.

"Lord, King Peng also realized the importance of the clan, he asked the prince to rest assured, as soon as he ascended the throne, the prince will serve as the head of the household, and then he will give the clan the right to mint money and salt, and then increase the upper limit of the clan's Yongye Field, which is the promise of His Royal Highness King Peng."

"Hmm!"

Li Zhen was quite satisfied with this promise, "Okay! Later, I will go out to contact the clan, and at least I can guarantee that tomorrow morning, there will be thirty important clansmen's joint sponsors Peng Wang to enter the East Palace. ”

Yan Kai was overjoyed, the twenty clans were very weighty, and he hurriedly got up and thanked: "Then the sect will ask the prince." ”

．．．．．．．

The search in Chengdu is still continuing, and there has been a lot of news that thousands of people have been arrested for hiding military weapons, and more than 300 street thugs have been beheaded for looting, and the whole city of Chengdu is shrouded in panic and unease.

The chaos on the streets Yan Kai didn't seem to notice, he was still pondering the situation in front of him, sometimes he himself was a little confused, whether he was on a mission, or was he really King Peng's staff, he was actually assisting King Peng wholeheartedly, hoping that he could ascend the throne, he seemed to have completely entered the role, and even occasionally forgot his mission.

Yan Kai sighed secretly in his heart, his mood was very complicated, assisting the prince to ascend the throne and achieve the emperor's teacher, this has always been his dream, and he assisted King Qing out of this kind of dream, but King Qing failed, he also fell from the peak of his life, and even fell to the point of living by charity, and today he has once again become King Peng's staff, and once again he has to assist this young man to impact the throne, everything is very similar to the scene of the year, he once again feels as if he has started a new journey.

But all this is a dream, he knows that it is impossible, he is like a paper kite, the end of the rope is held in Li Qing'an's hands, if he has a different heart, he will be crushed, and he is destined to become an emperor in his life.

'The Southern Tang Dynasty is extinguished, and you can be too guarded by Jianzhou! This is the promise that Li Qingan gave him, and it is also his destination.

Yan Kai's face couldn't help but show a wry smile, even if Li only ascended the throne, what could he do?

In the final analysis, the fate of Nantang is in the hands of Li Qingan, he has already failed once, will he fail a second time?

The carriage drove into the palace district, where the security was even tighter, a group of cavalry came on, the leading officer just looked at his carriage and did not intercept it, Yan Kai's carriage was planted with a purple unicorn flag of Peng Wang Li Zhi, which could be unimpeded in the palace district.

But a carriage behind him was stopped, "Please stop and be checked!" ”

"Bastard! This is Linghu Shangshu's carriage, Shangshu is on the car, don't you see? ”

Yan Kai was startled, and hurriedly looked back, only to see that it was indeed Ling Hufei's carriage, he was talking to the cavalry lieutenant, the lieutenant waved his hand, Ling Hufei's carriage turned around and drove onto Baiyu Avenue, which was the main road to Nanming Palace, it seemed that Ling Hufei was about to enter the palace, Yan Kai had some doubts in his heart, when did Ling Hufei's carriage follow him, why didn't he see it?

At this time, his entourage said in a low voice: "Sir, Linghu Shangshu's carriage came out of the East Palace and followed us for three miles. ”

Yan Kai suddenly came out of the East Palace, and went to the palace in a blink of an eye, it seems that this Ling Hufei is stepping up his activities.

The carriage continued to move forward, walked about five miles, and came to a majestic palace, which is the palace of King Peng, covering an area of fifty acres, second only to the Nanming Palace and the East Palace in scale, and also indicating the status of King Peng in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Yan Kai's wife and children and parents are in his hometown of Yuezhou, and he did not receive Bashu, he was alone in Shu, so he lived in Pengwang's mansion, with a courtyard for reading, and two beautiful maids to serve him.

The carriage slowly stopped at the side gate of the palace, Yan Kai got out of the carriage and walked directly to the palace, he wanted to report the results of the negotiations with Li Zhen to Peng Wang Li Zhi.

Li Wei's study is in the backyard, quite far from the gate, and it has to pass through four courtyards, Yan Kai walks quickly along the corridor, and from here he can walk directly to the door of the study.

There are not many subordinates in the palace, Li Heng's military expenditure is too large, resulting in a very tight finance, Li Heng has to cut down on food and clothing, cut palace expenses, including the Nanming Palace, the East Palace and all the princes and princesses' mansions, Peng Wangfu originally had two hundred palace female eunuchs, and now there are only fifty people left, so that the entire palace seems empty, of course, there are many guards, two hundred guards, none of them have been cut.

"Mr. Yan!"

When Yan Kai walked to a round door, he suddenly heard someone calling him, he looked around, only to see that behind the round door, a guard was calling him in a low voice, "Sir, this way!" ”

Yan Kai recognized this person at a glance, Liu Wei, a small leader of the guards in the palace, burly and brave, but his other identity was a member of the Anxi Information Hall, and in his Peng Palace, he mainly contacted the Intelligence Hall for Yan Kai.

Yan Kai saw that there was no one left and right, so he hurriedly walked up, and Liu Wei quickly stuffed a small note to him, then turned around and walked away.

Yan Kai walked quickly to a no-man's corner and opened the note, there were only four words on it, 'intensify the dispute', Yan Kai was taken aback, he recognized the handwriting on the note, it turned out to be Li Qing'an's own handwriting.
