Chapter 18: Conspiracy

He originally thought that saying this sentence was just four words, so what was so difficult to say?

However, only after saying that, I realized that this meant responsibility, which meant that from now on, a person would slowly live in his heart.

Zhu Ajiao saw it brightly in her heart.

Li Yuankang's words were a kind of shelter for her.

The palace people heard it, who would dare to underestimate her?

Therefore, Zhu Ajiao needs this sentence.

It doesn't matter whether Li Yuankang is sincere in saying this, the important thing is that everyone has heard it.

A few days later.

The Queen Mother's funeral is over.

The emperor was grief-stricken and proposed to build a luxurious mausoleum for the queen mother in the early court, and even the design drawings were ready.

Despite some objections, the treasury is not full enough to be built on a large scale.

However, Prime Minister Gu fully supported the emperor, "The emperor is a model of loyalty and filial piety in the Great Chu Dynasty." Under the leadership of Prime Minister Gu Cheng, the ministers also supported it.

Li Yuankang also went to the early court today.

It stands to reason that Li Yuankang is the crown prince, and he should have been in the court a long time ago.

However, before, the emperor refused to let him on the grounds that he was sick and weak.

Li Yuankang saw that all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty supported in unison, shouted long live, and sighed in his heart.

If it had been in the past, he would have voiced his opposition a long time ago.

But now, he knew, that when his strength was insufficient, any opposition was ineffective.

Especially, now, Suzaku is dead.

In the past, whenever the emperor said something inappropriate that went against the will of the people, Suzaku was the first to oppose it.

argues with reason, even if it will make the emperor unable to step down. So the emperor didn't like Suzaku very much.

However, during that period, the Great Chu Dynasty was very popular, and the treasury was also solid.

After Suzaku's death, Suzaku's younger brother Suzaku succeeded as the general of Zhenguo, Suzaku didn't know how to fight at all, and, these soldiers in the past were all trained by Suzaku himself, and Suzaku lived and died together, so naturally they didn't obey the Vermilion Crow who didn't have real talent.

The crow will not cut back on expenses, and will also set up a name to collect money for his own convenience.

However, for the emperor, Vermilion Crow has a very good ability to coax people.

As a result, everyone has followed suit.

Therefore, after so many years of tossing and turning, it naturally caused the treasury to be empty.

Scattered.

Li Yuankang sighed and walked alone.

The north wind was howling, and he was nostalgic for Suzaku, and suddenly, around the corner, he almost bumped into a person.

That was the third prince Li Yunze.

"Hello Imperial Brother." Li Yunze saluted very respectfully.

Li Yuankang nodded, and was about to leave without saying a word.

Li Yunze said: "The mother concubine has recently got a few plum blossoms from the south, which are very beautiful, I don't know if the imperial brother is free, can you come and have a look?" ”

Li Yuankang blinked, "Plum blossoms? ”

"Yes, that's what my mother meant, saying that Changyun Palace has been too lonely lately, and I want to hold a flower viewing party, but I don't know how to operate it better. Therefore, I also want to invite the royal brother to come and discuss it together as a family. Li Yunze was right-hearted.

Li Yunze is the eldest son of Concubine Xiao Guifei, who is very good at talking, and is also the emperor's favorite son.

"It depends." Li Yuankang left after speaking, still with a cold face.

The snow fell on Li Yuankang's shoulders, and he didn't bother to dust it off.

At this time, Zhu Ajiao was playing in the snow in the garden of the East Palace.

In the past few days, Zhu Ajiao has been eating and drinking in the East Palace during the day, and was sent back to the nunnery to sleep at night.

The snowflakes fell and landed on her long eyelashes, and she blinked hard, but she couldn't blink.

Li Yuankang in the past, and now in front of Zhu Ajiao, there is such a layer of snowflakes, Zhu Ajiao can't see the person in front of her clearly, and she actually reaches out to touch it!

Li Yuankang was stunned, what is this girl going to do?

Zhu Ajiao touched Li Yuankang's face, and then smiled: "Ah, it's the prince's brother!" Sure enough, it's the prince's brother! ”

Li Yuankang held Zhu Ajiao's hand, "What are you talking nonsense?" ”

Zhu Ajiao rubbed her eyes and smiled: "Just now, there was snow in Gillian's eyes. So, it's not clear to see. ”

Li Yuankang looked over, and Zhu Ajiao's long eyelashes really condensed ice crystals, making her eyes bigger and brighter.

Li Yuankang didn't dare to look at it anymore and said, "Go back, it's cold outside." "Gone.

Zhu Ajiao then stuck up again, "Brother Prince, wait for me!" ”

But today, Li Yuankang was very unhappy.

"Brother Prince, what is on your mind? Tell me, tell me. Zhu Ajiao kept asking.

Li Yuankang sighed and said, "You don't understand it either." ”

"Brother Prince's brother is not good, laughing at Gillian." Zhu Ajiao pursed her lips.

"Okay, let me tell you, my father plans to build a big cemetery for the queen mother's burial. Thus showing his filial piety. Li Yuankang looked down at the bonfire, his face flashing with a little spark.

"Why is this filial piety only expressed by harming the people after death?" Zhu Ajiao said coldly, and the memory of the original owner appeared in front of her.

In the past, Suzaku taught her that water can carry a boat and sink a boat.

Li Yuankang was stunned, Gillian was really not stupid, "Yes, if the Queen Mother can still speak, she will definitely be the first to oppose and build a cemetery for her." The Queen Mother is the most benevolent and thrifty, and when the Queen Mother was in charge of harem affairs, the palace expenses were not as large as they are now. Not to mention, it's a matter of labor and money. ”

"Brother Prince, you must stop the emperor." Zhu Ajiao said.

"Even you think so?" Li Yuankang sighed, "It's a pity that I am soft-spoken, not only is it useless, but it will make my father dislike me, and in the end, I will still be imprisoned in the East Palace." ”

Zhu Ajiao blinked her eyes and said, "Brother Prince, it's not easy to come forward, let me go and tell the emperor." I know how to do it. ”

"What? You can't do anything nonsense. Li Yuankang was anxious, "It's not your business, my father hates that people oppose him, especially women." My father didn't like women to be involved in politics. ”

"I'm not an ordinary woman." Zhu Ajiao patted her chest and said, "In short, as long as I am allowed to meet the emperor, I guarantee that I can be persuaded to do so." ”

Li Yuankang became serious, "Come on, send Miss Gillian back to the nunnery, no one can let her out without my consent!" ”

Zhu Ajiao had no choice but to go to the nunnery first.

Tingqin comforted Zhu Ajiao and said, "Miss Zhu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also worried about you, so that's why you ...... Don't look at the prince so domineering, in fact, the prince is using this way to express his concern for you. ”

"Listen to Qin, it seems that you are the one who knows the prince's brother best." Zhu Ajiao smiled.

Tingqin immediately blushed, "Miss Zhu, don't misunderstand. ”

"You've got it all written on your face, what's wrong with me?" Zhu Ajiao stretched, "Okay, I won't blame the prince's brother, you go first." ”

After listening to the piano and leaving, Zhu Ajiao lay down in front of the window and fell asleep.

She didn't really want to go to the emperor for Li Yuankang!

She lied to Li Yuankang, which made Li Yuankang have the illusion that he would care about him and care about him.
