Chapter 294: Palace Infighting
"Ling'er, what do you think?"
Li Tiantu returned to the General's Mansion and told Su Ling'er what he thought in his heart.
"Childe, you just arrived in the Yulin Army, and the means of pulling Wen Mingju down directly are a little too tough, and this move may also attract the jealousy of Queen Nu and Zhongshu Ling Li Luanying, why don't you use some gentle means?"
Su Ling'er smiled and held a small kettle and was watering the garden in the front garden.
People are among the flowers, they look more delicate than flowers, is this still the sixteen-year-old girl from before?
It's been a year, and I've been busy with the war in the Western Regions, and Li Tiantu found that Su Ling'er has really changed, the kind of perfect transformation that can break through the cocoon into a butterfly from the inside out.
He looked at the little girl with a smile, and said with a pity: "Listen to me!" β
Su Ling'er smiled at her son-in-law, and talked about it: "There has always been a distinction between left and right in the military and political system of my Celestial Dynasty, why don't you set up left and right deputy generals in the Yulin Army, let Wen Mingju, who rises and descends secretly, go to fight for power with Li Ting'an, and then give the vacant Zhonglang position to Bai Yu, so that you can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." β
Li Tiantu clapped his hands, looked the little girl up and down and praised: "Ling'er, why didn't I see it before, you still have the talent to be a female Zhuge before!" β
"What reward does that son want to give Ling'er?"
Su Ling'er put down the kettle, and came from the side of her son-in-law with a graceful look, her pretty eyes flashed with cunning, and her slightly upturned pink cherry lips looked extremely attractive in the sun.
Li Tiantu forcibly resisted the urge to kiss Fang Ze, and half-jokingly: "I will give you the position of the hall master!" β
Su Ling'er didn't comply, glared at her son and fled.
Half a year gradually passed in such a warm and calm time.
In the middle of summer, Tianxuandu only survived for nearly a year under the continuation of the meridian flower, and he had a headache and stroke again, and he couldn't afford to get sick, which was the same as the last time, sometimes unconscious and sometimes awake at the beginning, and in the end, he was unconscious, and his breath was like a gossamer.
The news leaked out of nowhere, and it spread throughout the entire Jingshi in an instant, and the Jingshi, which had been quiet for less than a year, became chaotic again.
Empress Nu was the first to attack, under the command of Emperor Tianxuandu, and jointly ordered Li Luanying and Gonggong Wei, deputy of the Internal Affairs Office, to block all entrances to the Yangxin Palace, prohibiting anyone from facing the saints.
Prince Tian Yixuan was unwilling, and conspired with the prime minister Jian Jiuling and the imperial historian Nangong Ting, and led a team of personal guards to confront the Xuanwu Gate Forbidden Army in the north of the palace, intending to seek holy face.
In the end, Yongwang Ye Tianxuanyi couldn't sit still, and led the soldiers in the palace to the Xuanwu Gate to show support for the prince.
In the end, Empress Nu couldn't withstand the pressure from both sides, and the crown prince and King Yong led dozens of subordinates into the palace respectively.
What is surprising is that as soon as he arrived at the gate of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Prince Yong suddenly attacked, and the dozens of subordinates he brought with him were all elite masters of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and in a very short period of time, they overwhelmed the forces of the crown prince and the slave queen, and firmly controlled the Heart Cultivation Hall in his own hands.
The palace guards who rushed to hear the news were also divided, some flocked to the Yong Prince, some flocked to the crown prince, and some flocked to the slave queen, and only a few remained neutral.
The palace is in a mess, not far from the west of the General's Mansion, Li Tiantu is drunk and lying on the knees of the beauty in the garden of the front hall, leisurely drinking tea and enjoying the flowers.
"Childe, the palace is in chaos like that, you still have the heart to drink tea here."
Su Ling'er's heart was a little confused, what will be the outcome of this battle for royal power? Only God knows, it seems that no matter who wins in the end, there is no good fruit for his own son-in-law to eat!
"Their own business, let them fight for it! Anyway, it's all in a nest of fights, if we go, who do you say you will help and who will not help? β
Li Tiantu opened his mouth and swallowed the chilled grapes that Su Ling'er personally sent to his mouth, squinted at the vast and boundless sky for a while, and suddenly stood up with a force on his waist, and ordered: "Ling'er, go and prepare my official uniform, I want to go back to the Fengmen camp." β
Although there was Zhonglang General Bai Yu staring at them, he still didn't worry about the deputy general Li Ting'an.
At this time, everything in the capital division could be chaotic, but the Fengmen battalion, where 80,000 Yulin troops were stationed, could not be chaotic.
As soon as Li Tiantu arrived at the gate of the camp, Li Ting'an, Wen Mingju, Lu Lu, and Yu Baiyu were arguing at the door.
"What's going on?" Li Tiantu approached the four of them and asked sharply.
"My lord, Vice General Li has to insist on taking the Yulin Army into the city to protect the emperor, and his subordinates, General Wen and General Yu are persuading." Chang Shilu said respectfully.
Li Tiantu glanced at Yu Bai Yu quietly, and after seeing General Zhonglang nodding slightly, he turned to Li Ting'an and said, "Ting'an, my Yulin Army has not been ordered to enter Beijing, and it will be regarded as a rebel." β
"My lord, the Yulin Army is loyal to His Majesty alone, and now that His Majesty is unconscious, can they control the palace. General, please play the banner of the Qingjun side and bring your subordinates into the palace to protect you! Li Tingan knelt on the ground and said in a sad voice.
Li Tiantu was a little moved, he finally understood who the person behind Li Tingan was!
"Ting'an, you get up first! We are all loyal to Your Majesty! You have to trust me! Li Tiantu picked up Li Ting'an, and looked around with a majestic gaze.
"Come on, take down Wen Mingju and the route!" Li Tiantu suddenly shouted.
A team of Yulin troops arrived in an instant, capturing Wen Mingju and Lu Lu.
Wen Mingju and Lu shouted wronged, but when Yu Bai Yu took out the physical evidence of the contact between the two of them and the slave queen and the prince respectively, the mood of the two instantly sank to the bottom.
After his expression returned to calm, Li Tingan was not surprised by this, he glanced up at Li Tiantu and was silent.
Wen Mingjuhe Lu was escorted down by the Xuantie Black Cavalry, and Li Tiantu beckoned Li Tingan and Yu Baiyu back to the Chinese army's big tent.
"Ting'an, don't be impatient, the battle over there in the palace, we just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!"
Li Tiantu sat down and said.
"Your Majesty, heβ" Li Tingan still had doubts.
"Your Majesty, he knows that his life is limited, and he is weak to return to heaven, and he summoned me before he fell into a coma, you should know!"
Li Tiantu's eyes showed sadness, and he said softly: "The little prince born by Queen Nu is too young, the crown prince Tianyixuan's talent is mediocre and useless, and the Yongwang Ye's city is very deep and colludes with many rivers and lakes, Ting'an, who should you hand over this country to?" How do you let Your Majesty choose? β
There is a sentence that Li Tiantu did not say, in fact, if he is elected by his position, the little prince will ascend the throne, and the auxiliary government of Queen Nu is the most suitable.
The prince has always been uneasy to deal with him because of Yan Mengyu.
King Yong, now all kinds of signs have shown that he is the backer of the Heavenly Demon Sect in the court, and he is even more mortal enemies with him.
Li Tiantu leaned back in his chair and said with deep feelings: "It's also a matter of weighing and repeatedly, Your Majesty just opened his eyes and closed his eyes to watch them split the forbidden army, and in the end the winner is the king, and it is up to God to decide which is right and which is wrong!" β
Li Ting'an's eyes widened, he had enough reason to believe that what Li Tiantu said was true, after all, Emperor Tianxuandu's trust in Li Tiantu was much higher than him.
In front of the Heart Cultivation Palace, King Yong and his Heavenly Demon Sect masters had the absolute upper hand.
After Mr. Feng San and Su Ling'er rushed to help, the two sides of the Slave Queen and the crown prince reluctantly fought against the Yong Wangye.
In front of the narrow Heart Cultivation Palace, it is the pinnacle duel between the masters of the three parties.
In the relatively vast square in front of the Taiji Hall and outside the Imperial Palace, there is a competition between the Praetorian Guards.
The battle lasted from morning to afternoon, and the situation of the entire battlefield was changed by the appearance of a masked woman in white.
After killing several enemy masters one after another, the Yong Wangye, who was deeply hidden in martial arts cultivation and was at the forefront of the battle, was injured by the woman in white who suddenly appeared, and the whole situation was completely reversed.
Seeing this, Su Ling'er quietly retreated.
Then, Jian Jiuling was seriously injured, and the prince's side was disabled.
In the end, who would have thought that the winning side would be the slave queen.
The masked woman in white came suddenly and retreated.
