Chapter 104: The Struggle for the Throne (24)

On this unquiet morning, Yan Ziyue couldn't sleep well because she was so worried that she got up before dawn and sat on the roof waiting for the sunrise.

Yan Li boiled some flower tea, mixed some nectar, and handed it over to Yan Ziyue.

"Father-in-law, thank you" Yan Ziyue took a sip and took a sip, it was sweet and moist, and she felt much more refreshed.

"Yue'er..., is there anything you can't tell me?" Yan Li sat down beside Yan Ziyue and accompanied her to gaze at the faint glow of oriental fish scales.

"Father-in-law, why are people so complicated"?

Yan Li was a little confused by Yan Ziyue's question, so he had to soothe: "No, many times it is because I can't help it, and I have to choose complicated."

"However, what if people lose themselves and forget their original intentions when doing things"?

Yan Li was surprised by Yan Ziyue's question, this should not be a question she would ask, but now that she asks such a question, it shows that she has really grown up, and she has grown a lot and understood a lot this time.

While lamenting Yan Ziyue's growth, Yu Li also reflected on himself, yes, the original intention, the original intention is always easy to lose, if you really lose the original intention, can you still find it.

Yan Ziyue saw that Yan Li was silent, turned her head to look over, and saw his pensive look, and had an answer in her heart.

"Father-in-law, I want to tell you something, it's about the Loose Country...", Yan Ziyue looked at Zhan Li's firm voice.

Zhan Li raised his head and met Yan Ziyue's bright eyes, and said with a slight smile: "Yue'er... Say whatever you want."

Yan Ziyue relayed everything that happened last night, as well as what Xiao Yan told her, to Yan Li, who was stunned and couldn't speak for a long time, so it was no wonder that Yan Ziyue could ask a question like that just now.

After listening to this, he thought for a long time before he spoke: "Yue'er... You... Do you want to...".

"Yes, father-in-law, I don't see that guy Xiaoyan lose his original intention, if he has lost it, I will help him find it."

"I see... Xiao Yan is really blessed to have you as a friend", Yu Li said this, he didn't know how envious he was, and he was even a little jealous.

The sunrise is fiery red, and the glow is shining, which puts a layer of gold on the clouds on the horizon, and also prints Yan Ziyue's face shining, especially the clear eyes, which are also covered with a layer of gold at this moment, which is very dazzling.

It just so happened that Master Ran finished his morning class, and from a distance, he saw two slender figures on the roof, one tall and one short, standing facing the direction of the sun, which made people feel that the years were quiet.

Before Master Ran entered the hospital, he was seen by the two of them.

Yan Li felt that what Yan Ziyue said was very important, and at this moment, he was afraid that the waves in Qiongyuan were already surging, so he told Master Ran and discussed countermeasures with him.

As soon as the three of them finished chatting and were about to have some breakfast, they heard a report from Qinghai that it was Manager Li who had sent someone to invite Master Ran into the palace.

Master Ran looked at Zhan Li, smiled and got up to leave.

As the hour passed, Master Ran entered the palace.

"Master, please come inside", Manager Li led him into the dormitory.

"Your Majesty, Master Ran is here", Manager Li reported softly when he saw that he was closing the ceremony and recuperating his mind.

Xiao Ji opened his eyes, and it seemed that the person was indeed clear, so he motioned for Ran to sit down on the soft chair beside him.

After being served tea, Mr. Li received the look of Xiao Ji, and then retreated with the left and right sides and waited outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, it doesn't look very good, isn't there something annoying."

"Exactly, otherwise I wouldn't have invited the master over."

"Your Majesty, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly, I hope the poor monk can solve a problem for you."

"Master, if a person is in a canyon, there are wolves in front and tigers in the back, what should be the dilemma"?

"Your Majesty, if there is really such a predicament, you can either move forward or retreat, after all, it will be natural."

"What do you mean by that"?

"Your Majesty, if it is a poor monk, the poor monk will choose to move forward slowly and then find an opportunity to solve the difficulty."

"If you go forward and fight with the wolf in front, won't the tiger behind take advantage of the weakness at this time"?

"Your Majesty, the reason why the former wolf and the rear tiger don't dare to attack easily is because the other party is afraid, and when the people in the middle advance and retreat properly, and contain each other before and after, they naturally have no worries about their lives."

Xiao Ji laughed after hearing this, suddenly became enlightened, and sighed: "The master is worthy of a generation of monks, and his vision is extraordinary."

"Your Majesty has won the award, as long as the former wolf and the rear tiger are not aligned, you can wait for the opportunity."

When Xiaoji heard this, he was even more happy, the dark clouds in his heart dispersed, and his face showed a little pleasantness, and he was naturally enlightened.

Seeing this, Master Zhiran smiled slightly, and added: "Your Majesty, everything is lost by the authorities, and bystanders are clear, and you must not regret it for life because of a misjudgment caused by impulse."

Obviously, this is something else, if it weren't for the fact that he happened to be in the place of Zhan Li before he came, and he knew about it in advance, I am afraid that this time he would not be able to solve the confusion of Xiao Ji, so he admired Zhan Li even more.

Xiao Ji sent Master Ran back, ready to deal with Master Zhong, and Master Zhong came.

When Xiao Ji saw Zhong Taishi, he could imagine how tormented he was after learning about this this night, as if he was about to run out of effort, and the whole person felt like an old tree in the wind and felt that it was about to wither.

"Your Majesty...", Taishi Zhong bowed his hand and looked extremely pious.

"Taishi Zhong...", Xiao Ji looked at the courtier in front of him who had been invincible and had fallen into an embarrassing and incompetent situation several times, how much he wanted to get rid of him quickly, and his Taishi Party, which had swelled too much over the years, holding heavy troops, half of the capital was about to become their family, and at this time his posture was so humble, it was really a pleasure to look at.

"Master Zhong, sit down", Xiao Ji collected his thoughts and motioned for Master Zhong to sit down.

Zhong Taishi excused himself: "Minister, just stand."

The corners of his mouth pulled out a smug arc, looking at Zhong Taishi standing there, a little shaky.

"Master, please sit down."

Zhong Taishi did not refrain this time, and after bowing his hand and thanking him, he sat down on a soft chair nearby.

There was a moment of silence between the two, Xiao Ji was looking at Zhong Lingzheng repeatedly, but Zhong Lingzheng never dared to look up at Xiao Ji.

Taishi Zhong couldn't help it, so he said: "Your Majesty, I don't know what Your Majesty summoned your ministers to do?"

"Didn't the summoned person say that Lone asked you to come to discuss the matter of the future."

"Ah...", Master Zhong responded with a word and stopped talking.

"Taishi, do you have any suggestions for the candidate for the next position"?

Zhong Taishi knew that at this time, he could only back down, if he tried to establish Concubine Zhong as the queen, he was afraid of angering His Majesty, but he was really unwilling to give up his efforts for so long, and finally accepted the opinions of all parties in the court and jointly promoted Concubine Zhong as the queen, do you really want to give up?

Taishi Zhong thought about it for a long time, but Xiaoji didn't urge him, took a sip of tea, and waited for him to speak.

"Your Majesty, it's up to Your Majesty to decide on this matter."

"Oh...", Xiao Ji was still a little surprised by Zhong Taishi's compromise.

"But the whole court and the middle and the whole government proposed to isolate Concubine Zhong as the queen."

"Your Majesty, the court is just a proposal, who to appoint is actually a family matter of Your Majesty, Your Majesty can decide, how dare we as courtiers ask."

Xiao Ji was very satisfied with Zhong Taishi's performance at this time.

"In this case, it is better to decide for yourself"?

"Naturally, the ministers only need to obey the order."

The smile on Xiao Ji's face let go a little, and he was obviously a lot more happy.

"By the way, last night, someone assassinated in the palace, has the Taishi heard of it"?

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has never heard of it."

"Really? These assassins are so rampant that the guards can't find out for a while, so it's better to hand them over to the Taishi to track down."

"It's... The minister must do his best to investigate and give His Majesty an explanation", Zhong Taishi really can't say it.

"Well, I'll have the assassin's corpse sent to your mansion so that you can track it down, and I believe the Taishi will be able to see the clues."

"Yes...", Zhong Taishi didn't dare to disobey, so he had to respond.

"By the way, I heard that General Zhong was infected with a cold, and I don't know if it's serious, so I might as well let Imperial Doctor Shen take a look?"

"It's just a little illness, I've already let the doctor in the house see it, it's not in the way, just drink a few pairs of medicine."

"Is it"?

"Your Majesty Lao is worried, and the minister thanked Your Majesty for the dog."

"Concubine Zhong just came to see her today, saying that she missed her family, and it happened that Master Zhong was here, so it was better to go to Yuqiongyuan to see Concubine Zhong."

"It's... Thank you for your kindness".

"Okay, you go down first" Xiao Ji wanted to use Concubine Zhong's hand to scare the grass and scare the snake, forcing Zhong Taishi to jump off the wall in a hurry.

After Taishi Zhong went to Yuqiong Garden, Concubine Zhong cried when she saw it.

As expected, Concubine Zhong and Taishi Zhong talked about Zhong Sheng and Concubine Li, and were yelled at by Taishi Zhong.

"Shut up, how can you believe such rumors"?

"Dad, this is not a rumor, I saw it with my own eyes."

"You stop talking nonsense".

"Dad, Your Majesty has learned about this, and Xuan Daughter has gone to ask for a question, not only that, Concubine Li's slut has already confessed to her brother, and she has also handed over the evidence of her affair with her brother to Your Majesty."

When Taishi Zhong heard this, he was so shocked that he couldn't stand for a while, if it wasn't for Concubine Zhong's timely support, he would have fallen to the ground.

It took a long time for Taishi Zhong to recover his breath, and he told Concubine Zhong to protect herself first if necessary, and left in a hurry without paying attention to the affairs of the Zhong family.

Concubine Zhong couldn't comprehend what Taishi Zhong meant for a while, and she only thought about how to take revenge on Concubine Li, and if she didn't vent the hatred in her heart, she couldn't live in peace.

At sunset, Lanjia sent someone to meet Xiaoji, and sent a message that Zhong Sheng had privately transferred 30,000 troops, saying that it was to ensure the safety of the blessing ceremony, and he was now stationed thirty miles outside the capital of Xiaojing.

After hearing this, Xiaoji was furious, and secretly ordered Lanjia to collect evidence that Zhong Sheng had transferred troops without permission, and asked to capture him alive.

After Zhong Taishi returned home, he sent someone to deliver a message to Zhong Sheng, but he was unexpectedly arrested by Lan Jia's people, and the people were dirty, and the letterhead also fell into Lan Jia's hands.

Just when Lan Jia was in a difficult situation, Zhan Li pretended to come to Lan Jia as if nothing happened, and told him that he was going to leave after the blessing ceremony, so he said goodbye first, so as not to be in a hurry and too late to find him. The two of them had their own thoughts, drank several jars of aged wine, and had a hearty fight. Seeing that Lan Jia was preoccupied, he asked.

Lan Jia was supposed to be a confidant, and he felt that he was a frank gentleman, not a court, so he told him what was on his mind and asked him what he should do?

After thinking for a while, he told Lan Jia how to collect evidence, and everything would wait for the evidence to be collected.

Lan Jia responded, thanked him well, and the two drank a lot more until they were both drunk.

After Lan Jia got drunk, he beat his spirits and forced out the alcohol in his body with his heart, so he rested at Lan Jia's place for a while, and left the next morning, after Lan Jia woke up.
