Chapter 68: Black Chicken

Li Yunyu came back, he had actually entered the city at noon, but he was not known to outsiders.

He came back in the flying beast, and the flying beast stopped outside the city, and he was secretly connected to the city, and he did not return to the palace, but lived directly in the Taiwei Mansion. In addition, Taiwei Zhou Xian, who was supposed to be sitting in Black Rock City and was still coordinating military affairs, also appeared in Taiwei's Mansion, and was drinking tea with Li Yunyu in the study at the moment.

Li Yunyu secretly returned to the city, and Zhou Xian came back quietly, the purpose is self-evident, that is, to make plans for Li Yunyu's ascension to the throne.

As many officials in the court thought, they didn't have the heart to plan these things before the war with Cai Guo, and it didn't make sense to think about it. Now it's different, Jingguo's victory has been decided, and ascending the throne is naturally the first priority.

Since Li Hongtu was brought back to Jingcheng, they actually knew that they couldn't live, so Jingguo must have a new king. If Li Yunyu is the crown prince, then there is no need to plan anything, the most critical point is that Li Hongtu can't wake up again, and he can't pass on the edict. There is a great grandmaster on the fourth prince's side, and there are many generals in the military, so it is still unknown whether Li Yunyu can ascend the throne.

Zhou Xian was still wearing that gorgeous robe, like a rich man, he personally poured tea for Li Yunyu with a smile, and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, although things may be a little difficult, the chance of winning is still seven or eight percent." ”

Li Yunyu was a little annoyed, and sighed: "I knew that things would take such a big turn, and this king shouldn't have left." ”

Li Yunyu had a very high reputation in the government and the opposition before, and during this time, he handled government affairs to resist Cai Guo, and his ability was recognized by the courtiers and the people. It's a pity that in the last battle, he abandoned the city and fled, which made his reputation and prestige plummet in an instant, leaving a stain on his body that could not be washed away.

"It's okay!"

Zhou Xian shook his head and said with a smile: "That's not the point, and it doesn't matter. As long as His Royal Highness ascends to the throne, there will be no record in history. Your Highness, is it true that Your Majesty's side will not be able to wake up again? Just wake up for a while. ”

"No way!"

Li Yunyu shook his head and said: "A group of imperial doctors tried their best, but they were helpless, and there was no way to establish this edict of succession." ”

Zhou Xian's eyes flickered a few times, and he asked, "Then can you let Gonggong Wei and Cao Li vote for you?" As long as they cooperate, the edict of succession... It's not impossible. ”

"You mean a false edict?"

Li Yunyu was excited, he got up suddenly, paced back and forth in the study, and then shook his head and said: "It's still not good, Gonggong Wei may still have some possibilities, Cao Li's personality is stubborn, before this king asked him to follow me with him, he didn't listen to orders at all, and it was impossible for him to be a false edict." ”

"Then you have to use the next strategy. ”

Zhou Xian pondered for a moment and said: "Convene the six major princes to secretly agree that a great court meeting will be held in three days, and hundreds of civil and military officials will support you to ascend the throne directly." ”

"Straight to the throne?"

Li Yunyi's face became solemn, he paced up again in the room, and asked after a while: "It's not a problem on the side of the six great princes, the problem is that the Imperial Forest Army is in the hands of Cao Li, if he doesn't stand on the side of this king, there will be many variables." Other than that...... Li Yunyi is in the city, this is also a big variable, Li Yunyi may know something about the prince back then. Li Yunyi has an army in the city, what if he raises troops?"

"Cao Li, it's not a problem!"

Zhou Xian said with certainty: "His Royal Highness is the regent, and he can directly remove Cao Li from the position of the great commander, isn't the deputy commander Lin Yun a person of His Royal Highness? As for King Yi...... Is Your Highness sure that he will support you?"

"Don't even think about it. Li Yunyu shook his head and said: "Before, I sent a decree to reprimand, and he burned my will in front of Gonggong Li. ”

"Actually, it doesn't hurt......"

Zhou Xian drank tea leisurely and said: "We have secretly arranged these three days, and after three days, we will enter the palace and take down the Imperial Forest Army first, and then I will secretly mobilize 10,000 troops from Black Rock City to come back, plus the city defenders." Li Yunyi only has more than 1,000 troops in the city, so even if he has strong combat strength, what can he do? After the great court meeting is over, His Royal Highness has ascended the throne, and the overall situation has been decided, Li Yunyi dares to make trouble, that is, he will be the enemy of the entire Jingguo. ”

"Hmm!"

Li Yunyu cheered up, and he asked, "There won't be any accidents on the fourth side, right?"

Zhou Xian smiled proudly and said: "The old man has made a move to retreat, and His Royal Highness and Tuoba Wu were easily deceived into pursuing Cai Guo's army, and they will definitely not be able to come back in a short time." His Royal Highness asked the Black Dragon Terrace to keep an eye on the Heavenly Name, and it was impossible for the Four Highnesses and Tuoba Wu to come back alone, and the Black Dragon Terrace would definitely be able to find out if there was a change in the army. ”

"Well, that's it, three days later, a big court meeting will be held!"

Li Yunyu slapped his hand on the desk, although he ascended the throne three days later, although it was a bit hasty, there were many variables. But the arrow has to be sent, otherwise when the fourth prince and Tuoba Wushi return to the dynasty, the variables will be even greater.

Jingguo now has no crown prince, Li Hongtu does not have an edict to inherit the throne, and he and the four princes both have the right to inherit the throne.

That night, Li Yunyu received the news that Li Yunyi had entered the palace. However, Li Yunyi went in alone, and he stayed inside for half an hour, and Li Yunyu didn't care. Li Yunyi came back and went to visit Li Hongtu, which is a matter of common sense.

For the next two days, Jingcheng returned to calm on the surface, but secretly there was a torrent surging. Li Yunyu kept summoning important ministers in the Taiwei Mansion, and he was secretly discussing every day. Six great princes, two prime ministers, several great scholars, and many important military ministers.

The fact that Li Yunyu has returned to Jingcheng is basically known to the civil and military officials. Many of Li Yunxiang's courtiers were in a hurry, but unfortunately Jingcheng was blocked, and they couldn't spread the news if they wanted to.

Besides, the fourth prince and Tuoba Wu are now in Dongyuan County, and they are following the army of Cai Guo all the way to regain the territory, and it is estimated that it will be too late for them to rush back, and the civil and military officials have received the news that a great court meeting will be held tomorrow.

What makes Li Yunyu very strange is that Li Yunyi has been surprisingly quiet in the past two days. After returning from the palace that night, he has been staying in King Yi's mansion. Black Dragon Observatory monitored Li Yunyi's subordinates didn't go out, all of them were in the palace.

At dusk, Heilongtai came to report that Li Yunyi finally had a move.

The middle gate of King Yi's mansion opened, and Li Yunyi left the palace under the escort of the two hundred god bow battalions and the one hundred shaking mountain battalions. Li Yunyu was originally a little nervous, but after the news came to report that Li Yunyi went straight to Wuhou's mansion, he was relieved.

Wu Tiance died in battle, and his body was sent to Wu Hou's Mansion, where he has not yet been buried. According to common sense, Li Yunyu had to go to worship, but at this moment, Li Yunyu couldn't show up at a critical moment, so he just asked his subordinates to worship.

Li Yunyi has a good relationship with Wu Tiance's son Wu Jian, and it is also common sense to go to pay homage to Wu Tiance.

The chariot arrived outside the Marquis Wu's mansion, and a big butler came out of the Hou Mansion to greet him. Fu Gonggong's face changed slightly, and he was a little dissatisfied. Li Yunyi waved his hand and asked the army to wait outside, and Gonggong Fu personally pushed him into the Hou Mansion.

There are white silk and black cloths hanging everywhere in the Hou Mansion, and the maids are wearing black robes and white scarves, and the atmosphere is very sad. The chief steward led Li Yunyi and Father-in-law Fu to the mourning hall, where many women were wearing filial piety clothes and crying, but only a handsome boy was wearing a gorgeous robe, sitting on the side and eating oranges leisurely.

Li Yunyi's eyes fell on the son, and his eyes became complicated. Then he shook his head lightly and didn't say anything, and let Gonggong Fu push him in. A group of women and young ladies hurriedly came over to salute, Li Yunyi said a few words of comfort, and then worshiped Wu Tiance.

The boy didn't get up from beginning to end, and kept sitting and eating oranges, watching Li Yunyi worship.

After the worship, Li Yunyi looked at the brocade-clothed boy and said, "Little Marquis Wu, go out for a walk?"

The young handsome boy threw the orange in his hand, clapped his hands and didn't speak, and walked out directly. Gonggong Fu pushed Li Yunyi out, and the three of them walked far away, until they couldn't hear the cry, and the young man walked into a pavilion and sat down with a big grin. After Gonggong Fu pushed Li Yunyi in, Li Yunyi waved his hand, and Gonggong Fu retreated.

There was fruit in the pavilion, and the young man grabbed it and ate it, and he didn't speak, Li Yunyi sat opposite and looked at him, and he didn't speak either.

After the young man ate three or four fruits, Li Yunyi finally spoke: "Black chicken, mourning." ”

The young man raised his head, his eyes were not sad or happy, and he said calmly: "The old man has walked in the dark all his life, has countless enemies, and he doesn't know how much blood he has stained on his hands, it is a miracle that he can survive until now." He can die fighting for the country with dignity, and he can also injure a great grandmaster, which is enough to laugh at Jiuquan, there is nothing to be sad about. ”

Li Yunyi bowed his head slightly and said: "Marquis Wu's battle is destined to be famous in history and will last for generations." ”

The young man peeled an orange, glanced at Li Yunyi and said, "Don't worry about my family's affairs, you can handle your own affairs?" Your second brother has been back for two days, and Lao Zhou has also returned, what are the two of them planning? ”

Li Yunyi bowed slightly: "He is worthy of being the son of the head of the Black Dragon Terrace, the gate is not a step, and the situation in Jingcheng is well understood." Don't worry about me, I can handle it. ”

"My esteemed Royal Highness King Yi. ”

Wu Xiaohou Ye ate a slice of orange, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he stared at Li Yunyi for a few breaths before he said, "Are you possessed by a witch god in the Nanban Mountain Range?"

"Huh!"

Li Yunyi smiled faintly, looked at Wu Xiaohou seriously and said: "People always have to grow, they always have to change, no matter how they change, you will always be my friend." ”

"Tsk, the meat is numb, and the goosebumps are up. ”

Wu Xiaohou Ye made a disgusted expression, threw away the orange in his hand, and walked straight outside, and the voice came from outside: "I won't send you, if you can't do anything tomorrow, don't force it, being a grandson is better than not dying, if you need help, shout and go." ”
