Chapter 177: Disappointment
At this time, in the secret passage of the palace, Minghua went to visit the real emperor again.
She saw that this emperor would not live for a few days, and wanted to do it sooner, so that she would have a suitable reason.
At the same time, Li Mingyang also came.
He is still unwilling to live like this, if he doesn't gamble well, how do he know that he will not win?
"Mingyang, why are you here?" The emperor didn't expect that Li Mingyang would choose to help him in the end. In his memory, Li Mingyang was very careful, and this time he actually chose to come over and take risks.
Li Mingyang smiled: "You are the father emperor, so naturally you want to be on your side." ”
"Aren't you afraid that after I go out, you will pass the throne to Mingde?" the emperor looked at Li Mingyang with a smile.
Hearing this question, Li Mingyang was stunned. He always thought that as long as he helped the emperor get back the throne, he would definitely be the successor who would not change. But now, the emperor is saying such things, doesn't the emperor plan to give him the throne?
Seeing that Li Mingyang's face changed, the emperor shook his head: "You, even if you don't like it in your heart, you should learn to hide your thoughts, just like this, I see through it, it's too weak and not suitable to be an emperor." ”
He shook his head and said in disappointment, which made Li Mingde very nervous.
So, what does the emperor mean by this, and is he willing to pass on the throne to him?
"Although it is you who have come to follow, that child of Mingde may not know about this, so I cannot guarantee that the throne will be yours. "The emperor told the truth, and he didn't want Li Mingyang to suddenly repent, and he hurt his loyal subordinates.
"Father, the emperor......" Li Mingyang looked at the emperor seriously and called weakly.
He was hesitating whether to portray Li Mingde as indifferent to the emperor. But he caught a glimpse of Minghua standing on the side, and didn't think that Minghua would be on his side, so he didn't speak again.
Minghua glanced at Li Mingyang and guessed what he was thinking, so he spoke directly: "Your Majesty, you don't know that Rong Hua is tortured by that fake emperor. However, Mingde didn't care about his mother and sister. He's like that to his loved ones, let alone to you, a father who needs to fight with the other brothers to get more attention?"
Li Mingyang didn't expect Minghua to speak for himself like this, and he was stunned. Minghua glanced at Li Mingyang, and Li Mingyang hurriedly nodded in agreement.
The emperor sighed, not knowing whether he believed Minghua's words or not. After a long time, he said, "If Mingde is really like this, then I won't consider him." ”
"Your Majesty, my plan has been adjusted, and now I want to add another Mingyang in, so let him be responsible for supporting various places. Minghua said again.
"What, you mean to let me be idle?" Li Mingyang didn't want to do this, he had to play a big role, so that he could have more say.
But listening to Minghua's meaning, it seems that he wants to take the lead and let his henchmen charge into battle, which really makes Li Mingyang puzzled. Minghua is a woman, if she doesn't have any power in her hands, she can only be regarded as fish on the chopping board, and when she is cut, she has to look at other people's faces.
Minghua glanced at Li Mingyang, but Li Mingyang really didn't understand.
The emperor was a little dissatisfied with Li Mingyang's performance, he didn't think this son was so stupid before, why does it seem that his brain is just a decoration now?
He had no choice but to explain: "Meaning, we may not have enough manpower, and you need to dispatch in time to keep up." Don't think it's an easy job, because if you can't keep up with it, we're going to fail. ”
"Arranging you like this shows our full trust in you, shouldn't you also show your sincerity?" Minghua said angrily.
Li Mingyang nodded as if he didn't understand: "Okay, I'll arrange it." ”
"When will you act?" the emperor asked Minghua.
Before that, he had already handed over all the people who could be used by his subordinates to Minghua's hands, and all of them were for her to deploy.
Minghua counted his fingers for a while, and said, "Wait for the day when the regent of Annan Kingdom returns." ”
"By the way, we can also ask the regent of Annan to help. The emperor suddenly remembered that his friendship with Ouyang Xun was not bad.
"But why did he come to talk about this trip to troubled waters?" asked Li Mingyang.
Even he himself is not very willing, okay? Like Ouyang Xun, those old foxes are impossible to agree.
"What if I exchange the land of Great Wei?" said the Emperor.
Minghua was not calm anymore, and hurriedly persuaded: "In this situation like this, it is not easy to succeed. So, his asking price should be high. ”
The emperor waved his hand and said very indifferently: "It's a big deal that I will give him all the sixteen border cities to Annam." ”
Li Mingyang and Minghua's faces became very ugly, and they fell silent together.
The emperor, frightened by this sudden silence, thought about it carefully and realized that his request was excessive.
He is just a person, and without him, the country will develop well. Now in order to let him, a person who will not live long, regain the throne, it is really not cost-effective to exchange so many cities on the national border. He looked at Minghua and Li Mingyang again, knowing that these two would not agree no matter what, so he dispelled this idea in his heart.
"Well, it's not a good deal, I don't want to say it. "The emperor is also able to bend and stretch, and now he has no power, so it's better to be well-behaved.
However, Minghua spoke: "It's not impossible to ask the regent of Annan for help, just don't give him such good conditions." ”
Li Mingyang also nodded, he also hoped that he would have more possibilities of success, so he said: "It's okay to pay more gold and silver, but you still have to think more about cutting the land." ”
The Emperor listened to the words of the two of them, and knew that the two of them were discussing this matter very rationally, and he was relieved.
Minghua and Li Mingyang discussed the conditions for their final opening again, and then looked at the emperor.
"What are you two looking at me?" the emperor was puzzled, since it had already been discussed, then the two of them were responsible for contacting him, why did they both look at him?
"We have a lot of things to be responsible for, and the matter of convincing the regent will be left to you. Minghua said expressionlessly.
The emperor was very pleased that Minghua was on his side before, why did he start sending him now.
But people are in a weak position, naturally they can't be arrogant, he squatted in the corner, and then said with a distressed face: "I'm trapped in this place, I can't get out easily, you don't know, how can I go to see Ouyang Xun?"
"We'll just get him here. Minghua looked indifferent.
"However, how could he be such an important person, believe you and follow you?" the emperor was puzzled.
Li Mingyang smiled slyly: "It depends on the relationship between you, the father, the emperor, and the regent." ”
"Then ......" The emperor bowed his head in some frustration: "It's better not to go to him." ”
Minghua now understood that the so-called friendship between them was really vulnerable, so it was impossible to persuade Ouyang Xun to help with this matter.
Suddenly, the emperor raised his head and looked at the two people in front of him, and there was still a light in his eyes.
He said excitedly, "Let's go to Yunjun." ”
He heard what Yun Jun and Li Jinyu said before. Yun Jun is Ouyang Xun's daughter, if he convinces her, he can also convince Ouyang Xun.
"Yunjun?" Minghua and Li Mingyang didn't know why, and their faces were blank.
The emperor didn't want this secret to be known by too many people, so he waved his hand at them and said, "You just go and persuade Yun Jun to help, she will contact Ouyang Xun." ”
"But ......" Li Mingyang really didn't think that Yun Jun would agree to help, so he was still a little hesitant.
The emperor interrupted what Li Mingyang was about to say, looked at him with sincerity: "Believe me, this will definitely work." ”
Seeing that the emperor behaved like this, Minghua and Li Mingyang also decided to believe the emperor after hesitating. And they agreed, Li Mingyang went to contact Yun Jun, lest Yun Jun be too defensive of Minghua and the matter could not be discussed.
But none of them knew the past between Yun Jun and Li Mingyang, let alone that Li Mingyang went to find Yun Jun, which was the beginning of their failure.
By the time Li Mingyang walked out of the palace, it was already late. However, he decided to go to Yunjun immediately. After all, the moon is dark and the wind is high at night, and hide yourself.
He changed into a dark black brocade robe and disappeared into the night.
Yun Jun went to the valley for a few days, and he had wasted a lot of kung fu, and now he was continuing to practice with his senior sister, and a short arrow shot straight towards Li Mingyang.
This senior sister is not only good at acupoint teaching, but even the secret weapon can be said to be top-notch. So Yun Jun casually found a reason to send Li Jinyu away, and only followed this senior sister to practice hard in the future.
Li Mingyang, who was going to make a handsome appearance, didn't expect Yun Jun to sneak attack him, so he barely avoided this move, and then stabilized his body and moved forward a few more battles.
But Yunjun's arrow just now was just beginning to practice, and she immediately sent three more arrows out. It was still the direction where Li Mingyang was, but this time it was difficult to dodge, one arrow went straight to Li Mingyang's face, one pointed directly at his chest, and the other was aimed at Li Mingyang's lower abdomen.
Yun Jun is not very good at using internal force now, and he doesn't have much strength, and the speed of this arrow is not fast, and it is not difficult to dodge.
It's just that Li Mingyang thought that Yun Jun would stop after shooting only one arrow, who would have thought that she would shoot three more arrows.
So this time, his dodge still looked very awkward.
It wasn't until Yun Jun fired the hidden weapon for the third time that Li Mingyang shouted loudly: "Don't shoot, it's me." ”
But Yun Jun has already done it, and the hidden weapon sent out can't be recovered.
Li Mingyang finally took precautions this time, and it was very easy to hide. It's just that when he walked through the dozens of silver needles this time to Yun Jun, he looked at her expression, which changed from very happy to disappointed.
