Chapter 273: Your Majesty Who Won't Live Soon
The next day, Zhou Ping came to the outside of the Dust Phoenix Palace alone, during this time Li Chunyu seemed to have gradually come out of the haze, but she still returned to live in the Dust Phoenix Palace every day.
"Yo, it's so early. Li Chunyu saw Zhou Ping's visit, and joked with a smile, "You and Chu Ci finally met, I thought you would have to warm up for a while in the morning." β
Zhou Ping's old face flushed, he knew that Li Chunyu was joking with him, but he did almost not control himself yesterday, although it had passed, but the charm of last night was still imprinted in his mind.
He laughed dryly, found a chair and sat down, adjusted his thoughts for a while, and asked softly, "Did you find out anything about the clues left by Li before Yuan Tiangang died?"
Hearing this question, Li Chunyu's face instantly turned cold, "I went to check, but the information he gave was too secret, and I had no way to start, so I could only crash into Chang'an City like a fly!"
"Yuan Tiangang used to be the person with the highest attainment of the Seven Star Xuan Qi among the Xuan Realm Immortal Cultivators in the entire Chang'an City, and I suspect that the clues he left behind are very likely to be related to the Seven Star Array Diagram......"
She said her conjecture, then looked at Zhou Ping with a solemn face, and asked in a deep voice, "If we can find someone who is proficient in the Seven Star Array Diagram, maybe we can have a chance to solve this puzzle." β
Zhou Ping bowed his head slightly in agreement, Yuan Tiangang was proficient in the Seven Star Technique, and the clues he left behind at the end were likely to be related to the Seven Star Array Diagram.
His approach is very understandable, firstly, to avoid being discovered by others due to news leakage, and secondly, because he believes in Zhou Ping, believes in Zhou Ping's talent, and believes that with his peerless talent, he will definitely be able to comprehend the Seven Star Array in the future!
Knowing that he was going to die, this was already the best solution he could come up with, and there was no other way than to believe in Zhou Ping, who was the former head of Qintian Temple......
"Let's put this on the ground beforehand. Li Chunyu sighed and said, "Although I really want to know the truth, after all, so many years have passed, and it is really difficult to investigate just one clue provided by Yuan Tiangang......
Speaking of this, Li Chunyu glanced at Zhou Ping deeply, and said in a deep voice, "What we have to solve first now is actually the upcoming danger in Chang'an City!"
The latter knew what she meant by danger, and his expression gradually became solemn.
"This is also the main reason why I came to you today, I want to know the current situation in Chang'an City!" Zhou Ping said slowly.
"Now that we, the soldiers who have just returned from the front line, are receiving the attention of the entire Imperial Court and have become the target of public criticism, I must understand the situation in the DPRK and China as soon as possible. β
Li Chunyu did not directly tell Zhou Ping what he wanted to know, but glanced at him with some playfulness and asked with a chuckle.
"Have you already chosen Li Si?"
Zhou Ping was stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood Li Chunyu's concerns, and immediately shook his head and said, "I only think of him as a brother, and I don't think about anything else." β
After that, he added, "At least for now." β
Li Chunyu knows the temperament of the kid in front of him very well, since he said that he is not standing in line with Li Si now, he must not be in line, but the question is will others believe it?
Now that Li Si has stood in the center of the whirlpool of confrontation between the military headquarters and the old faction in the DPRK and China, Zhou Ping, as Li Si's brother in life and death on the battlefield, even if he said that he did not stand in line, will those who want to deal with Li Si believe it?
"Your idea is naΓ―ve. Li Chunyu said seriously: "In this battle, it is difficult for you to be alone, even if you don't choose, someone will force you to make a choice!"
Zhou Ping was silent for a moment, and said calmly, "Then let's wait until you have to choose." β
Li Chunyu shook her head helplessly when she heard this, but she knew that no matter how much she persuaded her, she would not achieve anything, so she could only divert the topic and start talking about other topics in Zhou Ping.
"Although the military department is now victorious, the situation is still not optimistic for them. Li Chunyu shrugged and said, "There are insiders in the current military department who have begun to tend to side with the crown prince Li Ze, compared to the old school that stood in line with Li Ze early, although the defection force of these military departments is not enough to deal a fundamental blow to the military department, but it can affect the hearts of the people to a great extent!"
"They want to dismantle the military department from within, let the military department first internal friction, and then eliminate the military department in one fell swoop?" Although Zhou Ping has not personally experienced these party struggles, he is no stranger to them.
Thousands of miles of the Tang Dynasty, the country's warriors are unparalleled, if it weren't for the fact that Li Qixian broke the chess path back then, and had the karma of the demons, I'm afraid Chen Bi'an would have become the first important minister of the Tang Dynasty long ago!
"That's right. Li Chunyu nodded and said, "There were originally many branches among the old factions in Chang'an City, and they were not completely without gaps, but in the face of the military department, they now have to unite together. β
"What are the old school members?" Zhou Ping asked with a frown.
"Six ancient families, a large number of officials from the DPRK and China led by Prime Minister Wei Zhongshu. Li Chunyu said calmly: "It is no exaggeration to say that the military department is almost on the opposite side of most of the court!"
"I see. Zhou Ping nodded slowly, "The current military department is worried about internal and external troubles, and can only rely on Lu Qingdu to support it alone, and on the other hand, the old faction is not only strong and has a wide range of influence, but also took refuge in the crown prince Li Ze early, it can be said that the two are not at the same level in terms of hard power at all!"
Li Chunyu smiled slightly, he knew that Zhou Ping was biased towards wanting to stand in line with the military department, but now he also saw the situation in the military department, and if he wanted to win the old school, there was only one word - difficult!
"But there is one thing that the military department has the advantage. Zhou Ping changed his words and said lightly, "It is precisely because of this advantage that the seemingly inferior military department can really sit at the same table with the old school and wrestle their wrists......"
"Oh, what advantage?" asked Li Chunyu puzzled.
"People's hearts!"
Zhou Ping slowly spit out two words from his mouth: "The military department has been fighting abroad all the year round, and it has won the respect and love of the people, and this alone is enough to make the military department invincible!"
"If they really dare to kill their military subordinates, they will be the loyal generals who will kill the family and defend the country! I'm afraid the people of the Tang Dynasty will be the first to refuse!"
"But I'm very curious about one thing, the forces of the DPRK and China are so aligned, is Your Majesty ignoring this?"
Li Chunyu's eyes showed a trace of sadness when she heard this, she clenched her fists and said slowly, "It's not that the imperial brother doesn't want to care, but he doesn't have much time left." β
"The imperial brother has suffered from a stubborn disease since he was a child, and the imperial doctor once asserted that he would not live to be thirty years old, but he has survived until now, until Li Ze and Li Si have grown up. β
"For so many years, he has relied on all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures to support, but when the power of external things is finally exhausted, now he has run out of oil and lamps, I am afraid that he will ...... in two years at most"
Speaking of this, Li Chunyu took a deep breath, people say that the royal family is ruthless, but Li Chunyu and Li Chunhao, two siblings, grew up together, Li Chunyu is the most simple in the center of many princes and princesses, if Li Chunhao had not been protecting her, I am afraid she would have died a long time ago.
Maybe they were the same from the beginning, but the different environments in which they grew up made the brother and sister develop two completely different personalities, and in the end, Li Chunhao may have got what he wanted, but he also lost the most sincere emotion back then.
Li Chunyu didn't know that this imperial brother, whom she had always respected and loved, abandoned all her feelings a long time ago, and in Li Chunhao's opinion, Li Chunyu, the imperial sister, was just a tool that he used very handy.
The doubts in Zhou Ping's heart after learning the news were finally solved little by little, no wonder His Majesty the emperor was so anxious to give power to the crown prince Li Ze, if he could live for another ten years, he would definitely find a way to solve these messes in the court, but he didn't have so much time......
"By the way, I secretly found someone to repair those two treasures of yours, and the Bagua Lock Heaven Tower has restored some, and it is a little troublesome to repair the Yin and Yang Tongtian Seal, after all, the Yin Yang Tongtian Seal you got is only a part, not all of it ......"
"It doesn't matter. Zhou Ping smiled and said, "I can't force this matter, you can send someone to help me send it to Chu Ci tomorrow." β
