After the dinner, Li Jin returned to the Shu Mansion with a cold face.

Li Ronghe's performance in front of the palace today surprised him, and it also allowed him to finally find out where the prince's recent unusual origin was.

It turned out that the so-called adviser was Li Ronghe.

Li Jin's face was gloomy.

Pei Xiu also returned to the house with him from the dinner, and when he saw Li Jin's gloomy expression, he guessed some reasons, "Your Highness is worried about the county lord's affairs?" ”

Li Jin snorted, "Now it seems that Xiao Liu is indeed what she killed." ”

And Xiao Liu's killing is just the beginning, it can be said that everything that happened to him recently was wrong and unsmooth, all of which started with Xiao Liu's killing.

This made it difficult for him not to suspect that Li Ronghe might have known some secrets about him, so he deliberately kept targeting him.

"Li Ronghe can't stay any longer." Li Jin immediately decided.

Today, he has seen Li Rong and his ability to improvise, and even the death can be easily resolved.

"As long as she is here, Li Yong's position as the crown prince will only become more and more stable."

"What is the prince going to do?" Pei Xiu asked, hesitating in his heart.

He knew that his nephew Pei Jing was now in love with Li Ronghe. He knows Pei Jing's character very well, he is a person who will not give up until he reaches his goal, and he will never give up the chase easily until he gets his beloved things.

If Pei Jing knew that the King of Shu had killed Li Ronghe, he was afraid that he would impulsively bring disaster to the King of Shu and the Pei family.

Li Jin groaned slightly, "Of course, it's best to kill." ”

"Then can the prince be sure that he will be foolproof?" Pei Xiu looked nervous.

Li Jin hesitated a little and said truthfully, "This is exactly what this king is worried about now." ”

"Li Ronghe is the county lord after all, and he is deeply loved by the queen, it is easy to kill her, but it is just ......"

He didn't continue, Pei Xiu already understood.

If the queen orders a strict investigation, even Li Jin can hardly guarantee that there will be no flaws at all.

What's more, if they really did this, Pei Jing's side would not be easy to deceive.

Pei Xiu had an idea, and suddenly a plan came into his mind, "Lord Wang, there is a better way for the minister than to kill Rong and the county lord." ”

Li Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, "What can you do?" ”

"We can let the county lord marry Pei Jing."

Pei Xiu said, "As the saying goes, marrying a chicken is a chicken, marrying a dog is a dog, if the county lord can marry into Pei's mansion, then she will not be able to help the prince anymore." As far as the minister knows, Pei Jing is very good at disciplining women, and the minister can guarantee that the county lord will be managed by Pei Jing obediently from now on, but he only knows that he is at home with his husband and children, and he is no longer able to meddle in the affairs of the East Palace. ”

Li Jin pondered for a while, "The method is also a solution, but after all, she is only thirteen years old, I'm afraid that Li Yong and the queen will not agree to her marrying so early, right?" ”

Pei Xiu said with a smile, "Your Highness doesn't have to worry, the Pei family made great contributions to water control when the first emperor was in power, so the first emperor gave the Pei family a wordless holy decree, and now it can just be used to ask Pei Jing to marry the county lord." Since it is a holy decree issued by the first emperor, let alone a mere prince, even His Majesty today has no way to veto this decree. ”

That's a good idea.

Li Jin was overjoyed.

It just so happened that when Pei Jing left Chang'an, he teased the county lord on the street, and the matter was in a uproar, and the heat has not yet passed.

Pei Jiada can use this incident to play a bitter love scene, and say that Pei Jing fell in love with Li Ronghe at first sight, and he has reached the point where he doesn't think about tea and dinner, and he is about to go crazy. I beg Your Majesty to see that the Pei family is such a sister-in-law, fulfill the Pei family, and marry the county lord.

Li Jin nodded again and again, "Yes, let's do it, the sooner the better, it's best to marry her this year, this king doesn't want to see her continue to live in the East Palace next year." ”

Pei Xiu bowed his head, "The minister will go back to the house now to discuss this matter with his brother." ”

Li Jin snorted, "Also, Li Kai will be back soon, you should prepare quickly, this time, this king will definitely want him to die." ”

"Yes."

The darkness of the night covered the last bit of light in Li Jin's eyes, making his whole person completely integrated with the night.

……

……

After the dinner, Chang'an City was calm for two more days.

Yang Xiong and Han Ruhu lived in a post station not far from the East Palace. Now that the matter of King Wei's disgust with victory has not yet ended, and Emperor Yongping has not recovered from his serious illness, the imperial court is powerless to arrange peace matters for a while.

However, looking at the attitudes of Yang Xiong and Han Yihu, they don't seem to be in a hurry to welcome Princess Dayi back.

Yang Xiong hoped that Emperor Yongping would be able to meet him after he recovered from his illness and say a few words of compliment to please him.

Although he is also a military general, he is not as stupid as Han Yihu, and he doesn't know how to judge the situation at all.

He knew that the peace between the two countries was now maintained on the surface thanks to the Turks, and once the Turks no longer posed a threat, Liang was afraid that he would immediately become meat on the board and be slaughtered by others.

But he didn't feel heartache about it. After all, Yang Su, the lord of Liang, was mediocre and incompetent, and the traitorous ministers in the court were in charge, and it was already a miasma.

Even without the Qi State, the ruling of the Yang clan would not last long, and it would soon be disintegrated and divided by the forces of various powerful ministers of the imperial court.

So now he has to hurry up and curry favor with Emperor Yongping. It is unclear what benefits will be derived from this in the future.

And Han Yihu on the other side certainly wouldn't think so much like Yang Xiong. He just didn't want to go back to Liang simply because of Li Yong's relationship.

Since the dinner that day, he and Li Yong have become close friends who talk about everything, and the two of them have used the excuse of entertaining the mission every day to get together to drink and guess boxing or play horses and walk the streets and alleys, and they are tired of this and hit it off.

How could he have such happiness when he was in Liang?

Yang Su, the lord of Liang, prides himself on being a gentleman, and what he looks down on the most is a military general like him who has not studied for a few days. Usually in the court, even Li didn't want to pay attention to him.

If he could, he really wanted to be the general of the Qi State.

"Then be the general of Qi State!"

Li Yong borrowed the strength of the wine, suddenly got up, patted his chest arrogantly and said, "Come to Qi State, when I become the emperor, what Liang Guo will give you, I Li Yong will double it for you, how about it?" ”

Han Ruhu shook his head categorically, "It's just a joke after drinking, how can I, Han Sihu, be the kind of person who will abandon the country and abandon the family?" ”

Li Yong snorted, "Foolish loyalty! ”

Han Ruhu's eyes widened, "What do you know?" No matter how broken the home is, it is also home, if you and I meet on the battlefield one day, for the sake of my family, I will not be soft on you. ”

Li Yong laughed, poked his chest with his fingers, and burped with wine, "Lao Tzu is the prince... Belch... Have you seen whose prince... Belch... Went out to lead the troops to fight? The so-called heir of the king... Belch... Can't be a handsome teacher, do you understand? ”

Li Yong was smiling, but there was no pride in his smile, but a little miserable.

His biggest dream since he was a child was to be able to pick up weapons and become a general.

It's a pity that he is now nearly forty years old, and he has spent half his life, and he has not been able to fulfill his childhood wish. On the contrary, he has always been bound to the cage of Chang'an, and as he grew older, he became more and more imprisoned by etiquette and religion, and finally became a slave of power.

"That's it, that's it."

Li Yong waved his hand, poured a full glass of wine again, raised his head and drank it all, "Come!" We... There is wine today, and there is drunkness today! After all, tomorrow... My royal brother has returned. ”
