Chapter 575: Brewing
Since being scolded by Xue Luli many years ago, Ruan Ling was completely impressed by his daring, but it was only now the first time that he had a long heart-to-heart conversation like a close friend, and the long-awaited thing suddenly happened, Ruan Ling was excited and nervous, and the whole person became more and more restrained, constantly picking up a scarf to wipe his sweat, and finally finished saying what he said in his heart.
It turned out that after the assassination case of Pingkangfang in the old years, Ruan Ling realized that it was related to Lu Li, and secretly paid special attention to the case, although he heard that the real culprit was Pan Ministry, but of course he understood that this was not the truth, he didn't know why Lu Li wanted to assassinate the new Turk guard, but he thought that Lu Li could actually blame Pan Ministries and do things so well, and guessed that Lu Li's behavior must not be simple, when it was not the "Queen Mother's Party" on the surface, he suspected that Lu Li was actually dissatisfied with Empress Dowager Wei's Ji Sichen, and was actually secretly helping the King of Ruyang or the King of Yichuan.
Although the eldest princess of Jin An has been living an arrogant and domineering life, she is actually sober-minded and knows that she can't be involved in the struggle for power, don't look at Ruan Ling has been staying away from the court under the influence of her mother, in fact, she is not ignorant of the current politics and human situation, and only in this way can the mother and son stay away from the party struggle, and they are neither valuable nor threatening to any faction.
Since he has a certain degree of political literacy, it is not difficult for Ruan Ling to see that the appearance between Empress Dowager Wei and King Yichuan is inseparable.
If he hadn't realized that Lu Li had been involved in a power struggle, Ruan Ling would not have paid special attention to the movements of Ruyang and Yichuan, but it was always difficult for him to determine who Lu Li was secretly helping.
"There may be changes in the Ruyang royal party." This is Ruan Ling's perception: "Encourage me to fund Qian Yin's several clan children, although it seems that they are not doing their jobs, the fathers, grandfathers and brothers in the family are actually the Ruyang Wang Party, in the past two months, many henchmen of the Ruyang Wang family have been investigated by the imperial history for illegality, and the official is cut off, and the Queen Mother seems to be intent on killing the Ruyang Wang Party!" The king of Ruyang must have realized that the situation was dangerous and would not sit idly by, and it was at this critical moment that his henchmen began to woo the powerful and try to enrich themselves......"
Ruan Ling has gradually distanced himself from his former fox friends and dog friends since he turned back, even if he has not completely severed contact, he is only limited to occasional drinking, those few clan disciples are used to it, if it is really a matter of trading in partnership, there is no need to invite him to join the gang again, and the amount of money and silver that those people need is by no means just for business fun.
Ruan Ling realized that he resolutely could not participate in this matter, and had already found an excuse to shirk it, and today he used it to "consult" Lu Li, but it was actually to test Lu Li's position.
"According to Rokuro's intelligence, Ling certainly believes that he will not defect to the treacherous and shallow people such as King Ruyang, let alone take risks and act against the grain, but he ...... If you don't have Rokuro to say it clearly, you will always be uneasy. Ruan Ling was obviously not so optimistic about Ruyang Wang He Qi, and was worried that Lu Li would go astray because he did not want to be with Wei, and he might cause death.
Lu Liwan'er, looking at Ruan Ling, not only did not have any contempt, but even had obvious approval.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Ling seems to be stubborn, but he has this insight, and he has long seen through that the King of Ruyang is by no means the master of the Ming Dynasty, but he is more able to understand people than many scholars who are full of enthusiasm, and even from the words and deeds of several clansmen, he can sense that the King of Ruyang is about to jump off the wall, it can be seen that although he was born rich and arrogant, he is only a superficial scenery, if he does not live in a sinister and dangerous situation for a long time, with Ruan Ling's age experience, he will never be so sensitive to crises.
King Ruyang has already hooked up with Zhou Chang, the commander of the Shenwu Army, and under a series of persecution from the Queen Mother, of course, there will be a mentality of seeing each other.
"Ruan Lang, rest assured, Xue is not so short-sighted." Lu Li said softly.
Ruan Ling really let out a long breath and wiped his sweat again: "Sure enough, I am worried about it, but this matter is ......"
"Even you and I are aware of this matter, of course the Queen Mother will not hide it in the dark."
Ruan Ling's brows curled: "Is it the Queen Mother's intention to connive?" ”
"Zongzhengtang was not tolerated by the Queen Mother in the first place."
"Then wouldn't the king of Yichuan also ......" Ruan Ling's words were halfway through, but he suddenly paused.
He originally thought that the person who assisted Lu Li would be in one of Yichuan and Ruyang, and when Ruyang was excluded, then of course it would be the King of Yichuan, and what he was really worried about was that Lu Li would be implicated in King Ruyang's unwise moves, since Lu Li personally denied it, and he didn't seem to be surprised by King Ruyang's plan, obviously he had already perceived it, so he didn't have to worry anymore.
His mother has repeatedly told him that no matter how ridiculous and domineering he is, he can't be involved in the struggle for power, and he has never thought of getting involved, but since he changed his past wrongs and gradually developed faith, he doesn't want to be a wine bag and rice bag that has achieved nothing, but is he really determined to join the scuffle for power? No, he is still hesitating and hesitating, it is one thing for him to be willing to take care of Lu Li, but if he really wants to join, it is definitely not the safety of him Ruan Ling alone, this is related to the life and death of his mother, and even the survival of the Ruan family!
If you haven't made up your mind, why ask too much?
"In short, the big change is coming, Liulang must be careful, if you need to get Ruan Ling's place, but it doesn't matter, even if Ruan Ling can't help, he will never leak Liulang's words, if you violate this oath, heaven and earth will not be able to die!"
With Ruan Ling's golden oath, there was a muffled thunder in the distant sky, and Ruan Ling, who was still half-raising his arm, was stunned, and he was anxious to declare a series of words: "There is no lie, Ruan Ling is never a lie......"
Lu Li laughed genuinely, and patted Ruan Ling on the shoulder as comfort: "Of course I can trust Ruan Lang's promise...... It has been scorching hot for days, and this timely rain is exactly what everyone is looking forward to! ”
However, this long-awaited rain, after a muffled thunder and clouds brewing for half a day, did not really fall, but only blew a gust of wind, and the scorching light drove away the cumulus clouds, and it was a hot weather for ten consecutive days, so hot that people wanted to follow the yellow dog on the side of the road, sticking out their tongues to gasp.
In the Ruyang Palace, the anxious atmosphere is even more obvious, which is also because the male owner has not seen a smiling face for several days.
originally thought that he could use the Wen Qiao case to attack the prestige of the Queen Mother's party, where did He Qi expect that it was just a Mao Wei who was brought down, and finally caused Wang Huaizhun to be reinstated, although this person is not a confidant of the Queen Mother, but it is definitely not something he can win over, He Qi carefully calculates the gains and losses of Renzong's death so far - in the Zongzheng Hall, the king of Nanyang was originally neutral, and there is still a possibility of wooing, but as a result, the eldest great-grandson married the daughter of the Yang family of the Queen Mother's party, how can I hope that the secretary of the sect will support him King Ruyang? Although there are still many princes of the clan who are inclined to themselves, with their prestige and titles, they cannot compete with Nanyang, Yichuan, or even He Ye! The political hall has never been able to infiltrate the people, and over the years, it has also gathered some officials and scholars, except for agitating public opinion, there is no real power at all.
Not to mention the recent blows of the Queen Mother, there are as many as seven or eight people in her own family who have been cut off from office, and it seems that even in Zongzhengtang, sooner or later he will no longer have the right to speak.
In the Jingzhao Ten Hopes, the Liu, Xie, and Wei clans did not say anything, and the Xiao clan even fell to the Queen Mother, the Wang, Li, Xue, and Yuan clans all maintained orthodoxy, and the little emperor was safe and stable, and would not support himself to seize the throne at all, the Cui clan already existed in name only, even if it did not deal with the Queen Mother, it did not make much sense to fight for it, there was only one Lu clan, but he was loyal to himself, but he had been suppressed by the Queen Mother's party, and he was about to fall with the Cui family.
The generals of the forbidden army, the government army, and the border army were not accepted as they wished, and only one Zhou Chang was willing to follow him.
He Qi knew very well that at this time, he and Empress Dowager Wei were not evenly matched, and Ruo Xingbing had little chance of winning the throne, but if he didn't take any action, he could only watch Wei Haichi push him into a desperate situation and pull out his wings one by one, until he couldn't scream alone.
As long as he makes up his mind to make a desperate bet, he may be able to turn defeat into victory and ascend to the supreme throne in one fell swoop.
Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was born recklessly, who would have thought that he would win the supreme title at first? In comparison, he is at least the prince of the clan, as long as he plans properly and kills the young emperor and the Wei family, who said that he can't let the world surrender?
Although it is a risky move, it is not without a chance of winning!
Wei Haichi is just a female streamer, and the young emperor is even more milky, as long as there is only one king of Yichuan in addition to these two so-called orthodox.
He Qi sneered, his uncle would never have imagined that he had already dug a trap for him, if everything went well, King Yichuan would carry this black cauldron of conspiracy to usurp the throne!
It's going to be done, it's going to have to be done!
The golden sun was shining outside the window, and the room was steaming like a steamer, He Qi's eyes were red and his fists were clenched, and he finally made up his mind.
"Please invite a few gentlemen, as well as Commander Zhou, to come to the secret business!"
