On the fifth day of the first month of March in the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, the British Duke Li Ji led the 60,000 troops of the Beijing Division to go out, and the governor came to gather the soldiers and horses along the way, attacked Qizhou with 100,000 people, the prince Li Chengqian led the civil and military hundred officials to the outskirts of Shili Pavilion on behalf of the Son of Heaven, the people of Beijing gathered to watch, the three sacrifices were completed, the gongs and drums were noisy, the mighty army was marching around, the banners were unfurled, the swords and guns were standing in a forest, and the invincible momentum of the strong army was good.

Damn, it's finally over, grandma's, Lao Tzu is so busy that he is half dead, just fucking watching Old Man Li play majestic, boring! Looking at the army that is gradually moving away, Li Zhen can't help but feel a little sour in his heart - since he was ordered to supervise the logistics, Li Zhen has worked hard day and night, has spent a lot of energy, and has done a lot of things, but it is all the work under the water, but the scenery of the expedition is not available, and it is inevitable that there will be some taste in his heart, of course, then again, if he really asks Li Zhen to fight Qizhou, then he must be grateful for it, after all, the reputation of "killing brothers" is not so good, but well, as a general, who does not like to fight, Seeing the majesty of others, but he still has to worry about those logistics and heavy supplies in the back, thinking about it makes Li Zhen feel uncomfortable.

"Eighth brother, what do you think about, hey, look at the virtue of the boss, hehe......" Li Tai, who was standing beside Li Zhen, saw that Li Zhen was thinking about it, and gently touched Li Zhen with his elbow, and said with a low smile.

As soon as Li Tai said this, Li Zhen noticed that the crown prince Li Chengqian was walking down from the not too high altar at the moment, although there were several little eunuchs supporting him, but his limping appearance was really no different from a lame duck, so he couldn't help but purse his mouth, glanced at Li Tai, and showed a knowing smile.

"Hey, eighth brother, I'll see you in the old place tomorrow, should you forget it?" As soon as he saw Li Zhen smiling, Li Tai naturally didn't forget to strike while the iron was hot, and he said a word with a smile on his face.

Oh, this kid can't forget about entering the East Palace. Li Zhen scolded secretly in her heart, but replied with a smile on her face: "How can it, the fourth brother can rest assured, I'll see you tomorrow at noon." ”

"Okay, then it's settled." Li Tai got Li Zhen's promise, he was in a very good mood, although his voice was low, but his face was smiling extraordinarily brightly, just at this moment Li Chengqian had just gotten off the altar, and Li Tai and Li Zhen were talking and laughing, thinking that the two brothers were laughing at themselves, and their hearts were immediately unhappy, regardless of their lame legs, they walked crookedly in front of the two brothers, and said with a smirk on their faces: "Fourth brother, eighth brother, how about talking about something funny to have fun with everyone?" ”

Li Tai has never bought Li Chengqian's account, but at this moment, seeing that Li Chengqian has put on the prince's position, he didn't bother to pay attention to it, and snorted coldly, don't look too far, just pretend not to hear Li Chengqian's question; Although Li Zhen didn't look down on this incompetent eldest brother, he didn't intend to directly conflict with him in front of everyone, and said with a smile: "The eldest brother came just in time, the fourth brother is betting with the younger brother in front of his head, hehe, the fourth brother said that there is a Taoist who can pinch and calculate in his house, saying that the sun will shine tomorrow, but the younger brother doesn't believe it, look at this rain is endless, how can there be any sunshine, just this matter, the younger brother is betting with the fourth brother, whoever loses will do the east, there is nothing to do, hehe." ”

Li Zhen is running the train with his mouth full, how can Li Chengqian believe it, but he also knows that it is impossible to take out the truth from Li Zhen's mouth at all, so he immediately put away the fake smile on his face, frowned and swept back and forth on Li Zhen's smiling face and Li Tai's casual cold face, snorted coldly, flicked his big sleeves, turned around and got into the sedan chair, and went back to the palace. Li Tai saw that Li Chengqian was stunned, and immediately became happy, made a grimace, and touched Li Zhen with a smile and said, "Eighth brother, see you later." As soon as the words fell, he also led a cadre of guards to roar away, and Li Ke, the king of Wu, who was always standing on the side with cold eyes, did not hear what the two brothers were talking about in private, nor did he ask questions, but his eyes flashed, he looked at Li Zhen thoughtfully, shook his head secretly, shrugged his shoulders, and left Shili Pavilion with a smile.

A bunch of birdmen! Although Li Zhen was always smiling, the brothers' demeanor was all in their eyes, and when they saw that the big guys were gone, they scolded secretly, and did not go home, and led their subordinates and guards to go straight to the "Yanji Factory".

Ten years of life and lessons, today's "Yan Ji Factory" is no longer the small workshop of hundreds of people at the beginning, the development of the past ten years, "Yan Ji Factory" has been involved in printing, furniture, winemaking, papermaking, weaving and other industries of the giant, the territory has also expanded more than ten times, the most obvious is that Li Zhen in order to practice literature and martial arts convenience and the "Yan Ji Factory" outside the "Qingchun Garden" is now the center of the "Yan Ji Factory", not to mention that now it is just a serious eight classics There are more than 10,000 employees in the "Yan Kee Factory", and the "Rising Sun" training institution set up in it, the total number of people in the "Yan Kee Factory" has already been nearly 15,000 people.

Since the "Yanji Factory" is on the right track, Li Zhen has not come often, and occasionally comes not for the sake of the workshop, most of them go straight to the "Qingchun Garden", without him, "Qingchun Garden" is the core training institution of the "Rising Sun" action personnel, but all the masters selected in the training institutions under the "Rising Sun" are concentrated in the "Qingchun Garden" for the final tempering, not only in martial arts, but also in loyalty, therefore, whenever the students want to leave the school, Li Zhen will take the time to come here, Have some exchanges and encouragement with those best subordinates, but Li Zhen is not here for the sake of the students, of course, not for the sake of the "Yan Ji Factory" itself, Li Zhen's only purpose here is to meet one person - Liu Qi.

Liu Qi has never been a person who can speak well, since the bloody case of Zhuang Zhuang, he has become more and more silent, although the injury on the ** is good, but the injury in his heart is a little more serious, except for some actions during the meal, he always hides in the room at the rest of the time, no one pays attention to him, does not do anything, just silently in a daze, even Li Zhen came to visit him, the whole person is like a fool, no one can persuade not to move, no, today I was called in front of Li Zhen, Liu Qi is still that indifferent look, although the person stands straight, but the eyes are sloppy and hollow, which makes people worry when they look at it.

"Liu Qi, this king asks you, do you want revenge?" Li Zhen has come to visit Liu Qi several times since he came back from Qizhou, and he is no longer surprised by Liu Qi's numb appearance, although he still has some unbearable feelings in his heart, he still asked calmly.

"Revenge? Avenge? Liu Qi muttered in his mouth, there was gradually a little light in his empty eyes, tears slowly poured out from the corners of his eyes, a pair of eyes were red, bloodshot, and his body, which was not too strong, trembled violently, stared at Li Zhen for a long time, suddenly knelt on the ground, and cried loudly - since he learned that the mastermind behind the destruction of the mill was the prince, Liu Qi's heart died, the reason is very simple, although Liu Qi did not know why the prince wanted to destroy the mill, But what he knows clearly is: don't talk about him Liu Qi, even His Royal Highness the King of Yue can't help the prince, there is no way to report this kind of blood feud at all, but at this moment, he suddenly heard his master ask about revenge, how could he not make Liu Qi have mixed feelings.

The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, just because he hasn't reached the sad place! Li Zhen knew this in her heart, although Li Zhen had not experienced the bitterness in Liu Qi's heart, she could understand it, so Liu Qi cried heartbreakingly, but Li Zhen did not have the slightest impatience, just listened silently, and after a long time, sighed and said: "Liu Qi, get up, this king can help you, but this revenge has to be avenged by yourself." ”

Liu Qi Huo Ran straightened up, looked at Li Zhen with a pair of eyes full of expectation, and said without hesitation: "Your Highness, as long as I can avenge this revenge, I, Liu Qi, will fight for my life, and I ask Your Highness to do it!" As soon as the words fell, he kowtowed, his forehead hit the ground, and he made a bang, and in a blink of an eye, his forehead was broken, and blood flowed all over his face.

Liu Qi is still Li Zhen's life-saving benefactor, since he put himself into the Yue Wangfu, he has always been loyal to Li Zhen, at this time seeing Liu Qi so excited, Li Zhen couldn't help but feel sad, hurriedly rushed forward, helped Liu Qi up, reached out and patted Liu Qi's shoulder, and said as calmly as possible: "Liu Qi, this king will not hide it from you, this time the prince will fall, but if you come forward, your life may be in danger, this king does not dare to guarantee that you will be able to save your life, you can not go, this king will never be reluctant to go with you, if you don't want to go." After a few years, when the situation is stable, the king will transfer you back to Beijing to serve, and where to go, it is up to you to decide. ”

Liu Qi stretched out his hand violently to wipe away the blood and tears on his face, looked up at Li Zhen and said, "Your Highness, the will of your subordinates has been decided, and this revenge will not be avenged!" May Your Highness be fulfilled! ”

Li Zhen looked at Liu Qi sadly for a while, and then sighed and said, "That's it, since you are determined to take revenge, this king will be perfect." After a pause, he continued: "Now the king of Wei is planning to come forward to accuse the prince, he asked the king for someone, the king has not yet agreed, if you insist on coming forward, then the king will entrust your royal highness to the king of Wei, to the lobby, you don't need to be afraid, just tell the truth about everything you have experienced, in the meantime, I am only afraid that there will be a big punishment, you can have this courage?" ”

"Your Highness is complete! Don't be afraid! When Liu Qiyi heard the hope of revenge, his eyes flashed with excitement, and he fell to his knees again and kowtowed heavily.

Li Zhen stretched out his hand to help Liu Qi up, nodded his head and said: "Okay, since this is the case, you will be ready, cultivate your spirit, and in a few days, this king will be notified by someone to go." Liu Qi didn't say anything more, looked at Li Zhen gratefully, knelt down again, kowtowed heavily, got up, and walked out without looking back.

"Good man!" After Liu Qi went, Nalong, who was silent in the room, couldn't help but praise it.

"Well, it's a man, if possible, this king will definitely protect this person, and with a little sharpening of this person's courage, he will definitely be able to become a climate, that's it, these are all later words, and we will discuss it later." Li Zhen shook her head a little sadly, turned around, looked at Na Long and said, "Sir, how is the matter of Wang Ji arranged now?" ”

"Your Highness, everything has been arranged according to the plan, just wait for Your Highness's order." Seeing that Li Zhen mentioned the "hoeing plan", Na Long didn't dare to slack off, got up busily, and replied respectfully.

"Well, that's good, let's get started. The king is going back to the military department to work, and all this will be handed over to the gentleman. Li Zhen nodded, said something as if she didn't care, and didn't care whether Na Long agreed or not, and strode out of the door.

For Na Long, this is an exam question, an exam question related to his status in the Yue Wang's Mansion, the reason is very simple, Na Long has taken over the "Rising Sun" for more than three months now, but there have been a lot of forks in the process, most of the things are not to blame on Na Long's head, but some things are not something that Na Long can shirk, in this situation, if Na Long can not prove his ability to control the "Rising Sun", I am afraid that Li Zhen will be replaced, and this is absolutely unbearable for a person like Na Long with a high spirit, Although Li Zhen didn't say this clearly, the meaning inside Na Long was very clear, seeing Li Zhen leaving, Na Long pondered silently, and then raised his voice and said: "Someone is coming, the eagle is big, the goose is big, and the iron is big!" ”

Wu King Li Ke has had a very hard time this time, although he has not had any worries about court affairs, but he has always had two things on his mind - one is that although the connection with the fifth has been largely erased, he is not sure whether the fifth has a handle left, for fear that after the fall of the fifth child, he will suffer from the pond fish, and the other is that he is worried that Li Zhen will deal with himself, take advantage of the fire to rob, and squeeze his power in the government and the opposition. can only wait for the verdict of fate in the end, but the latter is different, after all, Li Zhen has not made a move now, and there is still room for redemption.

Li Ke knows how ruthless Li Zhen's methods are, deep down he never wants to have a head-on conflict with Li Zhen, but Li Ke doesn't want to lose the power that he has accumulated so hard, for a prince like Li Ke, the power in his hands is the guarantee of survival, as long as there is a glimmer of possibility, he doesn't want to lose, when he sent the army out early this morning, although Li Ke didn't hear what Li Tai and Li Zhen brothers were talking about, but with intuition, Li Ke faintly guessed the mystery - these two brothers are ten ** It was agreed on the matter of dealing with the prince, all that was left was when to start acting, with this judgment, Li Ke couldn't help but be anxious, he didn't want to wait for Li Tai and Li Zhen to finish cleaning up the prince, and turn around to give himself a ruthless shot, no, he just rushed back to his palace from Shili Pavilion, and immediately summoned Ye Ling to the study, and told him his judgment of the current situation, and finally asked: "Mr. Ye, the matter has come to this, how should this king respond?" ”

Ye Ling frowned and pondered, and said in a deep voice: "What His Royal Highness said is very true, the King of Wei and the King of Yue can now be said to be working together, if a certain judgment is correct, the two kings should join forces to go to the arsenal case, there are many doubts about the previous grinding of the village, and the witness should be in the hands of the King of Yue, there is nothing to say, if the two sides join forces, the fall of the prince is inevitable, but it is not easy to say who can enter the East Palace, according to a certain opinion, the King of Wei has little hope!" ”

"Well, this king also sees it this way, Xiaoba has always been far-sighted, the fourth and Xiaoba teamed up with Xiaoba just to seek skin with the tiger, how could it end very well, the left and right are just running errands for Xiaoba, and in the end, I am afraid that Xiaoba will be sold." Li Ke nodded and agreed.

"Not really." Ye Ling shook his head disapprovingly and said, "His Royal Highness King Yue is certainly talented, but he can't enter the East Palace either, and the person who enters the East Palace is very likely to be His Royal Highness the King of Jin who is far away in Qizhou." ”

"This ......, how is this possible?" Li Ke has been in an irritable mood these days, and has never made up his mind to think about who can enter the East Palace last, in his opinion, there is no other candidate except for the King of Wei and the King of Yue, and he planned to take advantage of the fight between the two kings of Wei and Yue to take advantage of the opportunity to make profits, but he never thought that Ye Ling would make such a judgment, and some people couldn't react for a while.

Ye Ling didn't care about Li Ke's surprise at all, and calmly analyzed: "Your Highness Mingjian, the news came from Qizhou the day before yesterday that the King of Jin has a secret decree in his hand, which can control General Xue's 10,000 elite soldiers, and there is an article here, the Holy Lord sent the King of Jin to Qizhou when the storm was coming, in addition to not letting him be involved in the accident of protection from the turmoil in Beijing, the deeper meaning is to let the King of Jin make a great contribution, thinking that it is just a step to enter the body, and the meaning here is really obvious." ”

"But Lao Jiu's ability ......" Li Ke said halfway through with some disapproval, his heart suddenly lit up, he figured out the key, nodded, and said in a changed voice: "Yes, it should be so, the father is only afraid that the fourth and eighth will understand what the father means, so they will join forces!" ”

"Your Highness understands it." Ye Ling nodded and said: "Although the two kings of Wei and Yue are united, they are not of the same heart, if it is not bad, the transaction between the two kings will inevitably involve His Royal Highness, and the interests of the two kings are the same in terms of attacking the crown prince and squeezing out His Highness." ”

"Well, that's the case, the prince is going to fall, but this king doesn't pay attention to it, but, well, it's just, how should this king deal with it now, please give me advice." Li Ke pondered for a while, and asked with a look of anticipation.

"It's not difficult, it's just a matter of making things bigger, you just need to ...... In this way, it is necessary to make the two kings unable to ignore the power in the hands of His Royal Highness, and this matter can be done! Ye Ling had already calculated how to deal with it, and said unappetizingly.

Li Ke silently paced back and forth in the study, and after pondering for a while, he raised his head suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, if that's the case, then do what Mr. wants, this king is not easy to bully!" ”

Night slowly fell, with the arrival of the night, the gloomy wind in the dark corners of Chang'an City also began to blow, various versions of gossip quietly poured into the streets, brewing and fermenting in the Gelou wine shop, gradually spreading, the hearts of the people in the imperial capital immediately became chaotic, and at this time it was only half a day before Li Ji's army set out, and a bloody storm began......
