Chapter 11 Counsellors

"Check! Check it out for me! ”

Li Jin used his hand hard and tore off a bead curtain. Hundreds of pearls fell, making a crisp clang.

The guards kneeling in front of him were already trembling, and the eyes of the few stone men standing behind him moved slightly.

"Within three days, I want to know who the advisor next to Li Yong is, and I want him to die!" Li Jin roared in a low voice.

The guards trembled, and they were about to retreat, but they heard a shrill voice like a woman suddenly coming from behind the right, "Lord, according to the minister's foolish opinion, we are still in a hurry to track down the affairs of the ministers." ”

Li Jin hurriedly turned his head to look, his face softened, and his tone was a little respectful, "Master Pei." ”

Pei Xiu hurriedly gave up his hand, "In front of His Royal Highness, where do you dare to call yourself an adult, it's just a messenger who came to deliver a letter to the prince on the order of his brother." ”

Li Jin smiled, stretched out his hand and raised Pei Xiu's arm, "My lord's words are light." I don't know why the lord thinks that this king can't track down the East Palace advisers? ”

Pei Xiu was not in a hurry to give an explanation, but asked rhetorically, "I wonder what His Highness thinks of the crown prince?" ”

Li Jin stood with his hands in his hands and said casually, "It is untamable, there is no kindness of a woman, the courage of a husband, but there is no ability to govern the country." ”

Pei Xiu then asked, "Then how does Your Highness think the prince behaved in Jinyang Palace this time?" ”

For this question, Li Jin obviously hesitated a little, and after thinking about it, he reluctantly said, "It's slightly different from before." ”

Pei Xiu smiled and did not debunk his promotion, "The words and deeds of the prince in the previous palace are very different from those in normal times, which is enough to show that the people behind him are profound, and even such a dead situation can be easily resolved, and it does not seem deliberately blunt at all......"

Li Xian's face was gloomy, and he was displeased.

He asked Pei Xiu to give an idea, but he didn't come to listen to him praise the prince's advisers.

So he said impatiently, "So, with such a strategist by the prince's side, shouldn't this king kill him quickly?" ”

Pei Xiu shook his head, "Lord Wang, you think, since this person can have such a strategy and insight, how can he not realize that he is in danger?" Why did you allow the prince to reveal the news of his existence to you? ”

Li Xian was speechless, and there was silence for a while.

"You mean, the reason why the prince told this king about this is to deliberately lead this king to be fooled?"

Pei Xiu was noncommittal, "Lord Wang, everyone knows what kind of character and ability King Qin is. If you were a prince and a minister, would you believe that this complaint was committed by King Qin alone? ”

Li Xianmao suddenly opened his mouth and suddenly realized.

If that's what he says, it's a big problem.

After all, now that the three princes are all suspicious, Li Yong may not suspect him.

But if he immediately kills the so-called prince and adviser in the East Palace now, then he will completely confirm this suspicion.

Besides, now that the strategist is in the dark, if he can really kill him, I'm afraid that they will find someone to pretend to be a strategist and play a golden cicada shell, won't they lose their wife and soldiers at that time?

Thinking about the various stakes in the meantime, Li Jin was suddenly a little afraid, and hurriedly bowed his hand to Pei Xiu respectfully, "Master Pei is insightful, Xiao Wang really admires it." So in my opinion, what should we do now? ”

Pei Xiu Shiran said with a smile, "The prince doesn't need to be anxious, the prince is in the limelight at this time, and it is not a good time for us to start." But...... For the other two princes, the situation is very different. ”

"Since the prince is ambitious, he can't just look at the present. I thought you could take this opportunity to wipe out the other two in one fell swoop. In this way, once the crown prince loses power and is deposed, who can the emperor pass on this world to you in addition to? ”

When Pei Xiu said this, he always had a gentle smile on his lips, but his squinted eyes were like a thousand-year-old cold pool, deep and cold, teaching people to feel cold to the bone marrow at a glance.

The kind of yin vulture on his body was often unpleasant, but it just hit it off with the ruthlessness of Li Jin's character.

In the gloomy room, the two looked at each other and smiled. Li Jin affectionately pulled him over to sit with him and discuss his next plans.

……

……

In the bright and dazzling spring light, the white skirts of the girls were flying, like clouds scattered on the ground, and they were moving rapidly among the light green grass, bringing a cheerful laughter from time to time.

Li Ronghe sat in the pavilion, quietly watching Baozhu and the others flying kites on the grass, with a smile in his eyebrows.

As soon as Li Yong got off the court, he hurriedly brought people over, saw Li Ronghe, and couldn't wait to greet him, so he said, "This morning, the court has finalized the matter of harmony, and His Majesty has sent an envoy south to Liang State, and he will get an answer in a month at the earliest." ”

Li Ronghe nodded, "Congratulations to my father." ”

Li Yong smiled and waved his hand, lifted his robe and sat down, "It's all your credit, girl." If it weren't for your plan, how could the Father have escaped this frame. ”

After listening to Yun Niang's plan about Xiao Liu, he was really scared into a cold sweat.

The design of this trap is seamless, and it is step-by-step, so that people don't even have room to defend themselves.

It's really thanks to him that he has such a smart daughter of Bingxue.

Li Yong was secretly proud, and secretly worried.

After all, although Yun Niang's matter has been resolved, the behind-the-scenes instructions have not yet surfaced.

Li Yong said worriedly, "I have spread the news of the East Palace's advisers, but according to the secret guards sent out, they have not found any changes in the three princes. ”

Li Ronghe seemed to have expected this result for a long time, and he didn't have much surprise, and only asked, "What has the King of Shu been doing lately?" ”

Li Yong said, "The King of Shu has been preparing to leave for the fiefdom recently, and he has not made any unusual moves. But...... He seems to have gotten a little closer to Pei Xiu of the Imperial Observatory recently. ”

Pei Xiu?

Li Ronghe searched his mind for memories of the name.

Although she had never seen this person in her previous life, she was very impressed by him.

Pei Xiu is the younger brother of Pei Qin, Marquis of Xin'an, who has no wife and no children, and it is said that he fell off a tree when he was a child and became a eunuch.

This person's temperament is uncertain, and his methods are vicious and ruthless, and he has always been despised by others.

However, after Li Jin ascended the throne, he was promoted to the imperial history of Zhongcheng because of Pei Qin, and was in charge of reporting officials in the court and the children of the Qi clan.

During Pei Xiu's five years in office, there were as many as 500 officials and clans in the court and clan who were executed by Pei Xiu for rebellion.

Xie Xuan once mentioned Pei Xiu and commented that he was a dog of Li Jin, who would only create all kinds of unjust cases and eradicate dissidents for Li Jin. And such people are not destined to live long.

Later, as Xie Xuan predicted, Pei Xiu was executed by Li Jin for abusing his power to murder Zhongliang when the world was just beginning to turmoil, in order to appease the people.

However, what Li Rong was puzzled about was that she remembered that in her previous life, Pei Xiu only began to emerge after Li Jin ascended the throne.

Why is it now on the Shu Palace?

Could it be that Xiao Liu died, so the advisors of the King of Shu also changed their candidates?

Li Ronghe asked again, "Then what other actions does the King of Shu have?" ”

Li Yong thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered one more thing, "He seems to have sent someone to the fief of King Wei." However, the dark guard replied that he accidentally lost the other party halfway, and he could only judge the fiefdom of King Wei by looking at the direction. ”

Wei Wang......

Li Ronghe suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

It seems that all the events that happened in the previous life were brought to the table in advance with Xiao Liu's death.

Li Kai, the king of Wei in the previous life, was killed by Pei Qin in the end of the rebellion, while Li Liang, the king of Qin, was demoted to a concubine by the queen because he killed his wife with his concubine.

But in the previous life, these all happened after Li Jin defeated the Turks and returned to the dynasty.

And now the king of Shu sent people to the fief of the king of Wei early......

Li Yong saw that his daughter's face was different, and couldn't help asking, "What?" Do you suspect that the person who wants to kill me is the King of Shu? ”

Li Ronghe came back to his senses, smiled reluctantly, and shook his head.

Before she caught the handle, she couldn't accuse at will, only reminded her slightly, "But before this person is found out, Father Wang Wan must continue to play stupid in front of several princes, otherwise what they want is not to find the minister, but to kill you." ”

She meant something, and Li Yong understood it.

If the people who want to harm him are the other two princes, it is better to say that if it is Li Jin, the king of Shu, then his life is indeed in danger.

After all, the strength of the people around Li Jin was too terrifying, and it was definitely not something that the guards of the East Palace could resist. If Li Jin found out that the prince was not an incompetent person, it would not be known if he could not save his life directly.

After all, a stupid prince still has the possibility of being pulled off the horse, but for a smart prince, he can only think of other ways.

Li Yong sighed, and there was a trace of helplessness in his heart.

In fact, he has no intention of taking the throne, and if that person can come and talk to him properly, it will not be a pity to give up the position of crown prince.

Unfortunately, even if he thought so, they wouldn't believe it.

Or, in the eyes of these younger brothers, the living are not as credible as the dead.

They only want to fight for themselves, not to be given and given.

Therefore, if one day he really loses the position of prince, I am afraid that his life will be difficult to protect.

Li Yong looked at his daughter silently, and secretly made a decision in his heart.

If one day, he really can't protect himself, he must find a way to protect his daughter.

At least find a future for her that can be safe and worry-free.

Thinking of this, Li Yong coughed lightly twice, and tentatively spoke, "Rong and Ah ......"

Li Ronghe looked at his father.

"What do you think...... Xie Qing's grandson, how is Xie Xuan? ”
