Chapter 697: Another Five Years Later......
The cold winter passed in a hurry.
Every early spring, the sprouting sprouts will continue to cut off the branches.
Five years have passed in a flash.
During this period, earth-shaking changes took place inside and outside the capital of Daning.
After five years, Leng Xi's ban on entering the palace was finally lifted.
Tomorrow is the New Year, as early as half a month ago, the emperor issued a holy decree, all the royal people and the ministers in the court and their families, tomorrow morning, all to enter the palace to participate in the royal annual banquet.
Because the emperor wants to announce an important event on New Year's Day, he will ask the ministers to also enter the palace to spend the New Year together.
Early in the morning, Leng Xi dressed up, stood in front of the bronze mirror with a radiant face, looked at himself with a slight beard in the mirror, his face was calm, the corners of his mouth, with a faint smile, and said to himself:
"Where there is a will, it can be done, hard-working people, the sky does not pay, I have been lying in Lengxi for more than five years, and now I finally have to see the bright moon, hahaha~"
As soon as he finished talking to himself, the butler hurriedly came to report,
"Lord Wang, Lord Yu is here."
Yu Shiming?
Leng Xi's eyes tightened, and then he waved his hand,
"Invite him to the antechamber."
"Yes."
After the housekeeper retreated, Leng Xi said in a deep voice to the people beside him:
"Is it all arranged?"
"Don't worry, the arrangement is ready."
"Well, that's good, success or failure, in one fell swoop, hahaha!"
With that, he laughed maniacally and went out the door.
After guarding for five years, today is the first time he has entered the palace openly, and he must do something earth-shattering today.
In the past five years, the Daning Kingdom has undergone earth-shaking changes, although the emperor's body is the same, but he is old and just wants to live a quiet life, so he has ignored the government and continues to hand over all affairs to Leng Yu.
According to the news sent back by Yang Feng, on the New Year of this year, the emperor was ready to pass the throne to Leng Yu, and from then on, he would only be a leisurely emperor.
Leng Xi would never allow this to happen, so he decided to advance the original plan when the emperor died.
When he was thinking about this, he came to the main hall of King Xi's mansion, and when Yu Shiming saw him coming, he got up and hugged his fists.
"The ...... of the Creek King"
Leng Xi's face instantly became much more relaxed, although the relationship between him and Yu Qiaoqiao was still lukewarm, but Yu Shiming still played a great role in his great achievements.
"Lord Yu is polite, please take a seat."
Yu Shiming sat down on the spot, and then spoke:
"Tomorrow, it's not appropriate to do it."
Leng Xi instantly twisted his brows and asked,
"Why?"
"According to my investigation, Leng Yu seems to have noticed that he has planted more than three times as many people inside and outside the capital as before, and he has also been prepared to prevent someone from announcing him as the new emperor in the New Year, and someone is ready to prepare for turmoil, there are tens of thousands of guards in the palace, even the people who guard the gate of the palace are all extremely good kung fu, with one enemy and thousands of masters, even if you make all the preparations, it is difficult to ensure that nothing goes wrong, I have been thinking about it repeatedly at home for a few days, and I still feel that you should not rebel with great fanfare, This is just too reckless. β
Leng Xi suddenly slapped the table with a blue face, gritted his teeth and snorted coldly:
"For tomorrow, I have endured for five years, in the past five years, when I faced Leng Yu, I was low-voiced, even groveling, now, I am ready to cooperate with the outside and take him down in one fell swoop, but you are here to let me retreat at this time, do you want to pull my wedge at this critical time?"
Yu Shiming saw that Leng Xi was a little excited, and immediately shook his head and waved his hand to explain:
"You misunderstood what I meant, I know that you have prepared well enough, and a lot of people have been arranged inside and outside the capital, but there are so many fresh faces suddenly in the capital, and it is in this vacancy, do you think Leng Yu will not notice? Don't forget, most of the troops of the Daning Kingdom are in his hands, and now you want to use your own strength to contend with him, which is simply hitting a stone with an egg. β
Leng Xi saw that Yu Shiming looked down on him a little, and he was a little angry in an instant, he snorted coldly and said disdainfully:
"Hmph, I guess you Lord Yu also know that in the past five years, I have not been idle, there are more than 20,000 people in my hands, and they have been stationed in hidden places outside the city, just waiting for my order, they will rush into the capital......"
Yu Shiming saw that he couldn't make sense of Leng Xi, and asked a little angrily:
"In the past five years, you have been recruiting personnel, is Leng Yu idle? He's also been recruiting troops, even if you have a mysterious army behind you, it's far less than Leng Yu's thousands of troops, not to mention that he still has a rebirth hall to use......"
"Humph!"
Leng Xi suddenly slapped the table with some anger, and then shouted with a red face,
"Are you raising the morale of others and destroying your own prestige? If you don't want to be involved, then please do it, I don't miss your thousands of people in Lengxi......"
"Alas!"
Yu Shiming sighed a little helplessly, and then continued to persuade:
"What am I afraid of, if you really rebel, there are Qiaoqiao and Xiaobao, I can't get rid of your relationship with Yu Shiming, I just talk about things, and I don't mean to splash you with cold water, I just think, you want to deal with Leng Yu, you want this throne, not only rebellion, this road can go, this road, too risky, and there is not much chance of winning."
Although Leng Xi felt that Yu Shiming's words had some truth, when he said these words at this time, he still gasped angrily, pointed to his nose, and roared angrily:
"Don't you think it's too late to remind me of this?"
"I warned you a long time ago, you haven't heard of it, as someone who has experienced the coup d'Γ©tat of the previous dynasty, I want to remind you, don't take it for granted that you have tens of thousands of elite soldiers and strong generals, you can easily win this throne, if it is so simple, this throne is not your Leng family has long been done."
After saying this, Yu Shiming got up, and before leaving, he said with a serious face again:
"Wu Yuanzhang is in Beihai Kingdom, in the past two years, Beihai State has the posture of launching a war against Daning Kingdom, a few days ago, he wrote to me privately, hoping to cooperate with you, you should think about it, whether you need to use the people of Beihai Country to achieve your goals, if necessary, come to me at any time, even if you don't want to be in the same stream with the people of Beihai Country, I think if you want to deal with Leng Yu, it is better to do it behind your back, and you are not an opponent ...... him."
Leaving these somewhat ruthless words, Yu Shiming flicked his sleeves and walked outside the main hall without looking back.
Leng Xi's brows instantly twisted into a dead knot, he looked at Yu Shiming's back, suddenly clenched his fists, slapped the table heavily, and a nameless sense of irritability surged into his heart......
