In Li Chongshan's forty years of official career, there has never been a night as special as tonight, and even in the early years of Cheng Kang, when he suddenly had the idea of promoting Emperor Cheng Kang to the throne, he was never so excited as tonight.

Gu Chengming's house is located in a narrow alley, and the people living on the left and right are ordinary people.

The owner of the house on the wall seems to have just returned from the night market, and they are interested in talking about what they have seen and heard in the night market.

Li Chongshan listened carefully and keenly captured his name, but what he mentioned was all clichés, and there was nothing new, so he lost the interest in continuing to listen, and walked back to the hall to wait for Gu Chengming to bring the news from the palace.

I think it was because of the words of the owner of the house on the wall that evoked a long memory, and the events that happened during the Chengkang period appeared in front of Li Chongshan's eyes one by one.

Cheng Kangdi's smooth accession to the throne was the result of his careful planning, but he didn't expect that Cheng Kangdi, who usually behaved indifferently in front of the crown prince, seemed to be a different person after ascending the throne.

When appointing a new minister, Emperor Cheng Kangdi would consult with him in advance every time, but after the promulgation of the holy decree, the content above was diametrically opposed to the consultation. Dredging the siltation of the Yellow River, reducing or exempting the taxes of the people in the areas affected by drought and flooding, and reusing the governor's office of the five armies to disperse the real power of the military department, etc., were all from the hands of Emperor Cheng Kang.

By the time he realized Cheng Kandi's intentions, it was too late, and he had already missed the best opportunity to control Cheng Kandi......

Just as Li Chongshan was looking back on the past, the fish seller who was doing things for him pushed open the door and rushed in and said, "My lord, Gu Shangshu has received accurate news, and ninety percent of the troops in the palace gate have all gathered in the Qinzheng Palace. The speculation circulating in the market has come true, the emperor really wants to get rid of King Chengping and Miss Ruan San, so that even if Princess Baozhen ascends the throne, the emperor can force the princess to give up inheriting the throne on the grounds that the princess has no queen! ”

The fish seller said a lot of words, but Li Chongshan didn't pay much attention to the content behind: "Ninety percent of the troops gathered in the Qinzheng Palace? I got the news earlier that Princess Baozhen only brought fifty people into the palace, could it be that these fifty people have the ability to reach the sky, and they want to use the strength of a city to suppress it? ”

"Princess Xingxu called the Zhuyuan Army?" The fish seller said that judging from the results of the previous investigation, he was not very sure that Zhu Yuanjun was not in the capital.

Li Chongshan chuckled and said, "If she really mobilizes the Zhu Yuan Army, it will be in line with my heart!" The herald commanded the troops, and after a quarter of an hour they met in front of the palace gate, and we sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and became a profiteer. ”

In the palace, the sword and sword shadow in front of the Qinzheng Palace, but the palace is surprisingly quiet.

Ruan Miaoling and King Chengping, who were rumored to be dealt with by the new emperor, sat relaxed at the moment, watching Princess Baozhen play against the new emperor Li Qi.

"My cousin's chess skills are deeply inherited by the prince's uncle, no matter how many years I study and practice hard, it is difficult to match my cousin." Li Qi's hand holding the chess piece hung for a long time, and he had no choice but fell to the point where he didn't want to go but had to go, and looked back at King Chengping: "I just don't know if my cousin's chess skills are as amazing as my cousin?" ”

King Chengping was just about to answer, but Ruan Miaoling had already taken a step ahead of him and said, "Uncle's chess skills were taught by my mother. ”

Princess Baozhen and King Chengping couldn't help but look at her when they heard her answer like this.

There is no trace of sluggishness in this child's lying, and he does not know who to advise, if he has the opportunity to learn a trick or two, he may be able to use it in a critical moment.

Li Qi listened to it: "So Miaoling also learned chess from your mother?" ”

Ruan Miaoling listened to his tone as if she was playing with a three-year-old child, and she was unhappy for a while, if Li Qi asked like this in the past, she would answer half-truthfully, but today when her mother and uncle were around, her courage suddenly increased a lot, and she said honestly: "No, I learned from my father." ”

"Ah, I see......" Li Qi only felt bitter in his mouth, and his heart was not smooth. Just half an hour ago, he lost to Ruan Miaoling in chess, and he was already a little embarrassed, but at this moment he learned that the master who taught her to play chess turned out to be Ruan Yanliang, who was born in the last few years...... I can't wait to dig into the cracks.

Seeing that his face was different, and he looked like he was slumped after being deeply hit, Princess Baozhen spoke out and comforted: "Actually, Miaoling's father also learned chess from me. ”

"Sister, I heard that my brother-in-law only studied with you for a month before leaving the school?" King Chengping said that, and smiled secretly at Ruan Miaoling.

Li Qi and Empress Zhang are husband and wife, and Empress Zhang insisted that Miaoling was detained in the palace, and he couldn't settle it with Empress Zhang, but it could be counted on Li Qi's head!

King Chengping was almost raised by Princess Baozhen, what kind of mind he had, Princess Baozhen knew at a glance, "Yes, I only studied for one month." ”

Li Qi's heart seemed to sink to the bottom of the sea, but before he could hurt himself, Lin Lian, who was guarding outside the palace, hurriedly walked in: "Your Majesty, Li Shoufu led the soldiers and horses of the military department to break into the palace!" ”

"Cousin, cousin, let's go out to greet this veteran of the two dynasties, after all, he is still in the dark by us at this moment!" Li Qi was helped up by Lin Lian, and saw that Ruan Miaoling had already stood beside King Chengping, "Miaoling's niece, you won't go, the queen just sent someone to invite you over, saying that she prepared delicious pastries for you." ”

King Chengping frowned and refused directly: "Miaoling, she's not hungry!" ”

Ruan Miaoling came into contact with his gaze and leaned over to King Chengping happily, "Thank you cousin for your concern, uncle said I'm not hungry, I won't be hungry!" ”

And this kind of statement? Li Qi still had to insist, Lin Lian reminded him that Li Chongshan was almost here, and he couldn't delay, so Li Qi gave up.

"Lin Lian, you have backtracked!"

Li Chongshan drove all the way to the outside of the Qinzheng Palace, but saw the Ouchi guards and the soldiers transferred from the palace gate acting like they were holding weapons and knocking on the bumper, and immediately came to the conclusion that he had fallen for the plan jointly planned by Li Qi, Li Baozhen and King Chengping!

Lin Lian asked, "Why did Master Li say this?" I also sent someone to tell you what you want to know about the situation in the palace, and I don't know if anyone reversed the facts during this period......

Also, Lord Li asked me to help you forge your royal identity, but I can't do anything, because King Luzhong has not given birth to an heir after he returned to seclusion, and the son of King Luzhong known to the world is actually only the adopted son of King Luzhong. ”

Gu Chengming saw that the men and horses of the military department were surrounded by the guards of the Great Interior, and hurriedly ran to Li Chongshan's side and asked, "Didn't the lord say that he was the queen of Luzhong, how is it so different from what Gonggong Lin said?" ”

Lin Lian said loudly to Gu Chengming and the important members of the military department who followed Li Chongshan: "Because you have all been deceived by Lord Li!" ”

Li Chongshan didn't give up and said: "Lin Lian, you said that King Luzhong only has one adopted son, what proof do you have!" ”
