Text: The Imperial Capital_Chapter 77 The undercurrent is surging
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, half a moon had passed, and at this time, the weather in the Qing Empire began to get colder, and it had entered late autumn.
However, during this period of time, the imperial capital was extremely calm, and there were no major incidents, since the second prince turned over, the fourth prince also stopped monitoring the second prince, and also fell into silence.
However, the Wu Mansion officially joined the side of the Four Princes soon after the destruction of the Xiong family, but there was no movement.
However, the only thing that makes people a little boiling is that the imperial capital came out of a heavenly mansion, and at the same time replaced the Xiong family.
Everyone knows that calm is the eve of the storm, and the calmer the imperial capital, the more terrifying it will be.
At this time, in the luxurious mansion of the second prince, Li Ma, Zhou Dian, Zao Wou-ki, Wang Gang, and the second and third princes in yellow robes all gathered here, all sitting opposite each other.
"Yo, I didn't expect you to come so early?" Li Aocheng walked into the living room and couldn't help but be surprised when he saw several masters coming.
"Hehe! We're no better than you, you're a busy man right now. Zao Wou-Ki couldn't help rolling his eyes and said, It's too late, you're embarrassed to say early.
"Looking for uncle, aren't you hitting the little nephew?" Li Aocheng said embarrassedly, because he was indeed late.
"Now that everyone has arrived, then I'll talk about my plan, so that everyone can start arranging, according to the news I have received, the four princes may have a big operation in the near future, which may be aimed at us. ”
"I arranged it like this, the major families sent their disciples to start attacking the forces of the Wu, Sun, and Qian families and their shopping malls, but at most they could only send a few masters of the peak of the generals to sit in the town. ”
"For the sake of fairness, I arranged it like this, the major families sent more than thirty disciples and one hundred disciples to harass the three major families, but my Tianfu will also send some disciples to help the second prince and the third prince attack the forces of the fourth prince and the fifth prince, you also know that my Tianfu is not stable yet, and the number of disciples sent is limited, but the second prince has not been able to turn over for a long time, and his strength is limited, so he can only arrange it this way, I don't know if you have any opinions?" Li Aocheng glanced at all the bigwigs, and then said his thoughts and deployment.
"This method is very good and fair, we all agree, then we will arrange it like this, we will go back and start arranging, and three days later, we will listen to the news of the military division to attack the three major families. Immediately, several major families discussed it, and then agreed.

However, at this time, in the luxurious prince's mansion in the other direction of the imperial capital, there were also Sun Wuxin, the head of the Sun family, Wu Anxing, the head of the Wu family, and Qian Tao, the head of the Qian family, and the four princes and the fifth prince who were sitting on the top with yellow robes, they also gathered together at this time.
"According to the report from the spies, the Zhao family, the Zhou family, the Wang family, and the Li family gathered in the mansion of the second prince today, presumably they want to start a war against us, I don't know if there is any way to deal with it?"
"Two princes, I have a plan to weaken their strength. Sun Wuxin pondered for a moment, then got up and said.
"Master Sun, please say?" the five princes and the others then asked curiously.
"I think so, now the Canglan Empire has repeatedly violated the borders of my Qing Empire, but there are no powerful generals guarding our borders, plus the Xiong family has been destroyed at this time, and the army of the Qing Empire is in the hands of the Li family, I think they may already know something, so they may start a war against our country. ”
"However, this matter must be dealt with by Li Mad and his son, so their Li family has gone to several masters at this time, it is our opportunity to come, we can use this time to attack the Li family and deal a heavy blow to the Li family. ”
Sun Wuxin immediately glanced at the curious crowd, and then lightly said his plan.
"No, we can let Li Mad deal with this matter, but now is not the time to attack the Li family, don't forget that the army is now the Li family's final say, if it is not done well, this may make the Qing Empire fall into a catastrophe, but when the time comes, his father's side, he will not come forward to interfere with you, don't say that I want to ascend the throne at that time, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance." ”
"The empire needs the Li family now, don't be impulsive before we get the military power, but your plan is not bad, go to a Li mad and Li Hao, that is a great benefit to us, although we can't deal a devastating blow to him, but it's still okay to suppress it, as soon as their father and son go, then our chances are much greater." ”
The fifth prince did not agree with Sun Wuxin's plan, because he knew that the empire could not lose the Li family now, because what he needed was a complete empire, if the Li family was dealt a heavy blow at this time, it would make them desperate, and then they would inevitably rebel, with the current strength of the Li family in the army, it was completely weighty.
Today's Li family is different from before, because now the Li family has a Li Aocheng, and there are many Tianfu powerhouses behind him, so this matter is not simple.
"Then I don't know what arrangements His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince has?" Wu Anxing was very supportive of Sun Wuxin's plan, but when he heard that the Fifth Prince didn't agree much, he couldn't help asking.
"Now that the border situation is urgent, my father must have gotten the news, with his character, he will definitely go to the early dynasty tomorrow, at that time, we will try to persuade my father and let him send Li Mad and his son to teach the Canglan Empire a lesson, their power in the court is not as good as ours, so we are 90% sure of convincing my father, but the Li family who went to Li Mad and his son is not enough to be afraid. ”
"Also, prepare below, wait for news from me in three days, and begin to attack their forces as soon as you receive my news. ”
The fifth prince looked at a few people and said, he knew that now that the second prince's side had been arranged, he also had to be prepared, and now his side was weaker, so he was careful.
"Alright, let's start preparing, and we'll wait for news from Your Highness. ”
Immediately, a few people also discussed it, and felt that this plan was okay, after all, they still knew the temperament of the five princes, as long as the first plan you said did not pass, he would not let you have a chance to say the second one, so they were also very knowledgeable.
Time passed quickly, and the day passed like this, but the next day did not come out of the five princes, as they expected, the emperor really summoned the ministers to the early court, but Li Mad and Li Hao did not escape from their control, and they were successfully sent by the emperor to attack the Canglan Empire, not to mention that the emperor actually let the three princes as deputy marshals go to the border with Li Mad to teach the Canglan Empire a lesson.
This made them think that the emperor also began to be jealous of the Li family, and began to deliberately suppress the Li family.
The next night, in a room in the Li Mansion, Li Mad's father and son were anxiously waiting for something.
"Grandpa, father, uncle, third uncle. Li Aocheng walked in quickly in a black robe.
"Don't worry, it's not that serious. Li Aocheng looked anxious and comforted.
"Oh, Cheng'er, do you already have a plan?" Li Mad immediately looked at Li Aocheng.
"I think so, now the Li family controls most of the empire's army, which is a precedent that there is no precedent in that country, and it is inevitable that the emperor will suppress the Li family, but this is nothing, because the timing is different now, now that the two countries have been at war, it is impossible for the emperor to ignore the Li family, because they need the Li family to help them protect the empire, at most they will only suppress the Li family, and they will not do too much. ”
"However, the fifth prince will definitely think of this, with his character, what he wants is a complete empire, not a turbulent empire, so he will not do too much to the Li family, so you can go with confidence, even if there is something here, isn't there an uncle and a third uncle?"
Li Aocheng looked at the anxious few people and said lightly, of course Li Aocheng saw all this very clearly, and he still had a certain understanding of the character of the fifth prince.
"Okay, I'll hand it over to you here, this is the family master token, I'll give it to you, and you will be Li Ai's family master during this time. Li Mad then took out a black token from his arms and handed it to Li Aocheng.
Because he knew Li Aocheng's ability, he deliberately wanted Li Aocheng to be the next head of the family, because after this period of observation, he felt that Li Aocheng already had this ability, and if he became the head of the Li family, then the Li family would be stronger.
"I can't ask for this, because I am now the master of Tianfu, so let's hand him over to the uncle, you can rest assured that I will help the uncle, and the Li family will not have an accident during this period." Li Aocheng looked at the worried Li Mad and said.
Of course, he knew what Li Mad's idea was, if he became the head of the family, then his life would be restricted, and he didn't want to do this, because he felt that he had a broader world.
"Okay, Dao'er will give you this token, remember that you have to think twice before acting, and you must discuss with Cheng'er before making a decision on major matters, don't be reckless, otherwise my Li family will fall into a place of no return." Li Mad handed the token to Li Dao, and then instructed.
"Don't worry, Dad, I know the seriousness of this matter, and I will definitely be careful. Li Aocheng immediately agreed.
Li Dao was not reckless, he knew the seriousness of this matter, and if he was not careful, it would be a devastating blow to the Li family.
"In that case, then I'm also relieved, Hao'er, you take Cheng'er to see Caidie, after all, you have to leave tomorrow. Li Mad looked at Li Hao and Li Aocheng's father and son and said.
"Well, that's good, grandpa, don't worry too much, there is me here, I will take care of the Li family. Li Aocheng walked to the door, then turned his head to look at Li Mad and comforted.
Watching Li Hao's father and son leave, Li Mad couldn't help but sigh, now that the royal family has been eyeing the Li family, this is not a good thing, so he has to be prepared.
