The capital, inside the Imperial Palace.

Emperor Li Shu put his hands behind his back, tilted his head slightly and squinted at the ceiling, as if the eunuch Hu Qin was reporting some trivial things, and he couldn't get into his head that day.

"After King Ning (the eldest prince Li De) was grounded, he has been living in the mansion in a simple place, his mood is calm, he has not complained, nor has he borrowed alcohol to kill his sorrows, I feel that he is very much punished by His Majesty's grounding, I don't know if King Ning has come to his senses and thought about it behind closed doors!"

Hu Qin has served Li She for many years and knows his temperament, he is thinking without saying a word, and when he needs to add his own opinions, he will inevitably interrupt his report. Therefore, Li Shu didn't speak, he just kept reporting.

King Ning closed the door to thank the guests, and no one was seen, and those ministers who had a close relationship with him on weekdays were all closed. Some of King Ning's supporters and ministers were full of sadness, and sighed and said that King Ning could not resist the blow, so he gave up on himself and did not seek to make a comeback?????? The old slave has a list of these ministers, and they have a household servant??????"

"I won't say the name, I know who it is. ”

Li She still looked at the ceiling, and said lightly: "Don't disturb these ministers, let them bounce for a few days first, I have been waiting for them to bounce and come up with a result before cleaning up!"

"There are also some ministers who originally supported King Lining, and they secretly went to the mansion of King Shun (the second prince Li Yi) in the past few days, probably to find a new backer, and they are ??????"

"Little boy!"

Li She suddenly turned around, interrupted Hu Qin's words, and said coldly: "This kind of wall grass is the most spineless, and the Qin Dynasty will betray me and the country for the sake of interests, you draw up a list, and I will beat them!"

"The old slave obeys!"

Hu Qin continued: "Jia Xiang and Wang Situ went to the palace of King Di (the third prince Li Tai) yesterday, they have always been on His Majesty's side before, and they resolutely do not have any intersection with the two princes, I don't know why they are so decisive this time?????? ？”

"They're smart people, and they're here to show me. ”

Li She only said this, and Hu Qin knew that the emperor's favorite candidate for the crown prince was the third prince Li Tai.

The meaning of Jia Xiang and Wang Situ is very obvious, they will support the prince as loyal as they support His Majesty today.

But Li Tai is only more than ten years old, if he becomes a prince or even an emperor, can he control the two tiger-like brothers?

Does Your Majesty want to let their brothers stage a bloody case of fratricidal again?

Your Majesty's seizure of the emperor is to kill your brother and brother, and to force your father to take the throne, and your ancestors have been killing bloody people like this for generations, is it interesting?

Is there really no family affection for the royal family?

His Majesty clearly knew that his two sons were recruiting cronies in order to seize the heir, but he did not curb it, let it develop, and then discount it when they were full-fledged, this is not cruel, but raising a cup, and it will be counterattacked.

Hu Qin suddenly remembered his father, when he was a child, he was naughty and mischievous, and after making a mistake, his father slapped his ass fiercely, and then he remembered that he would never make this kind of mistake again.

Why didn't Your Majesty do this?

Hu Qin felt that he was very lucky, he cut the root of the trouble with a knife when he was a child and entered the palace, and now he naturally does not worry about the cannibalism of his children and grandchildren.

Suddenly, a thought swirled in Hu Qin's mind, if after giving birth to the eldest prince, His Majesty would also cut the root of the trouble, would there be no such troubles?

"Is there any news from Xiao Ge now?"

Speaking of Xiao Ge, Li She suddenly felt much happier, and he said happily: "Last time I heard that he went to Yangzhou Fanjingzhai, I think that with his ability, he should be able to gain a firm foothold in Fanjingzhai. ”

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Hu Qin silently praised Li She, and then said excitedly: "Xiao Ge has entered the inner gate and won the inner door Dabi runner-up."

, and was successfully selected among the ten disciples of the six schools of Fanjingzhai. ”

Speaking of Xiao Ge, Hu Qin was also very pleased.

His evaluation of Xiao Ge is one sentence: This kid is so good!

Where is it good?

Anywhere!

"After a while, you go and tell Mu Ling the news of Xiao Ge, this kid has been obsessed with Xiao Ge's life-saving grace since he came back from the Three Kingdoms Tournament??????"

Li She paused for a moment, and suddenly said, "What about Li Wuduo next to Xiao Ge, she is still with Xiao Ge?"

Hu Qin said cautiously: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Have you ever found out her family history?"

Hu Qin shook his head and said: "It seems that Li Wuduo is like falling from the sky, and she can't find any news about her before, and the old slave is also very puzzled." ”

Li Shu pondered for a while and said, "Has the second child made any moves recently?"

Hu Qin said: "King Shun has been acting in a decent manner recently, and there is nothing out of the ordinary, that is, he sent a personal manager Zhan Peng to Yangzhou Mansion, saying that he was collecting first-hand news about the competition of the six factions. ”

"My sons are restless!"

Li She sighed and said, "I'm tired, you go down!"

"The old slave obeys!"

Hu Qin bowed down and withdrew to find the ninth princess Li Muling.

He knew why the emperor was bothered.

According to the words of their hometown, this is called pressing the gourd to float the scoop.

Li De, the king of Ning, made a fuss in Qingzhou, and His Majesty Tianwei was furious and grounded King Ning for a year, but King Shun began to operate secretly again.

Yangzhou is the sphere of influence of King Shun, and the lord of the mansion, Luqiu Yingzhuo, supports the King of Shun, and at this time he sent his personal entourage to Yangzhou Mansion, which is nothing more than to give Luqiu Yingzhuo a reassurance, and at the same time attract some sects and young talents in Yangzhou.

King Shun secretly sent autumn waves to the outside world through Yangzhou Mansion.

King Ning has fallen out of favor, and sooner or later the crown prince will be mine?????? The opportunity must not be lost, and the loss will not come again, and those who are interested will come to run, and the stakes are ?????? You get it.

Another trouble for the emperor came from Li Muling.

Among his many daughters, he favors the ninth princess the most, Li Muling loves Xiao Ge, and he is also satisfied with this young man, and he will slowly give the official in the future, so that his status will be noble, and he will be the right person with the princess.

But Xiao Ge has a girlfriend Li Wuduo.

As an emperor, it was easy to make Li Wuduo disappear, but he really couldn't find out Li Wuduo's background, and he didn't dare to do it.

This shows that Li Wuduo is not simple, and it is very likely that he comes from a hidden family.

He didn't dare to provoke such a person, otherwise he would annoy her family and tear down his palace.

His daughter's marriage was his second trouble.

But Your Majesty, you are very wrong to think that King Ning has succumbed.

Dogs can't change their eating.

King Ning is a mad dog.

Hu Qin went to Li Muling and briefly told her about Xiao Ge's recent situation, and the ninth princess danced happily.

At the same time, King Ning was also squinting at the ceiling.

An old man beside him said in a low voice: "King Ning, Zhan Peng took a group of people to Yangzhou Mansion. ”

"The second child is a fake serious, he really couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, and started to run, so it's okay. ”

Li De said with a smile on his face: "I'm afraid that if he doesn't move, he will make a mistake when he moves, so I will say to our people in Yangzhou Mansion, add a handful of firewood to him, and burn the fire better!"

The old man hesitated for a moment and said, "Why did King Ning help him?"

"How can this king help him!"

Li De said gloomily: "This king is pushing him into the abyss, and when the second child is finished, this chair is mine, and no one can stop it!"

"King Ning is far-sighted!"

The old man praised Li De, and then listened to Li De say: "Li You, you go to Yangzhou Mansion in person, and you come over with your ears!"

Li De said this for a long time, and Li You was suddenly overjoyed when he heard this, and left Li De to rush to Yangzhou Mansion.

Who would have thought that a bad old man who specialized in pulling feces for King Ning's mansion turned out to be Li You, King Ning's brainchild.

King Ning sneered.

Qingzhou Qingqiuling is deliberately done by this king, and my father has set his sights on me, if I don't do something excessive, how can I get out of the way.

It's not a good thing to be remembered by this old fox.

Now I am grounded, far from the power level, faded out of the field of vision, and more importantly, not to be remembered by the old fox.

I have a way to seize the throne, why bother to grab the crown prince.

Sitting on the throne of the prince is like sitting on pins and needles, when can you wait until the day when the old fox dies.

Killing is the shortcut.

Our ancestors of the Li family all relied on shortcuts to ascend to the throne, how could I lose this fine tradition.

Clouds float in the air, high and low.

It is so high that you can see it, so low that you can even see it in connection with the fog on the ground.

Xiao Ge closed his eyes and meditated on the clouds, as if he had entered a period of tossing and turning, like a misty white cloud halfway up the mountainside, but when he climbed to the mountainside, it was a different scenery.

There is only a fog, and there are no white clouds.

What's going on, I thought I had realized the true meaning of Tengyun, but it turned out to be like a dream, and I couldn't touch that corner for a long time.

Did you fall into a misunderstanding?

Xiao Ge opened his eyes and looked up at the white clouds in the sky.

The white clouds in the sky are moving, and their forms change rapidly.

Some merge into one, others slowly dissipate, separate and combine, expand and shrink all in an instant.

After a long time, he closed his eyes again.

He stopped thinking about the clouds themselves, meditating on footwork.

After a long time, Xiao Ge suddenly brightened.

Tengyunbu has no necessary connection with the clouds in life, Tengyunbu does not require him to drive the clouds, but he wants to realize the changes in the movement of the clouds.

It is necessary to have the speed of the wind and clouds, and to have different levels and random changes.

Then, Xiao Ge opened his eyes and went to the back mountain to run.

The six major factions in Yangzhou are Fanjingzhai, Wild Wave Palace, Fujishe, Xingyuehui, Zixiaowu, and Xiaoyaozong.

Among them, Fuji Society Xiu Tu City is the hegemon, Xingyue Society Huoyun City is the king, Zixiao Wu is entrenched in the Golden Silkworm City, Xiaoyao Sect is vain in Red Moon City, and the Wild Wave Hall and Fanjing Zhai are equally divided in Yangzhou Mansion.

Yangzhou six factions competition once every two years, the venue is set in Yangzhou Mansion, the organizer is the owner of the first department, the competition is presided over by the owner of the mansion Lu Qiu Yingzhuo himself.

This is a grand meeting between Yangzhou sects, and naturally other small sects come to observe, and the lord of Luqiu Mansion will vigorously package this grand event, which has gradually become a major economic income in Yangzhou.

The Yangzhou Six Factions Competition has become a lively commercial competition.

The day after tomorrow is the day of the six factions competition, today the leader of the six factions arrived at Yangzhou Mansion early with ten disciples, and then checked in at the hotel designated by the organizer.

At the time of the unitary time, the leaders of the six factions left the residence with their disciples and rushed to the mansion to participate in the reception banquet.

In the back garden of the mansion's mansion, the disciples of each faction sit at a table, and the elders and teachers sit at a seat, and each seat has a number of maids to make tea and pour wine, and the service is high-end and high-grade.

It is a tradition for the lord of the mansion to hold a banquet.

On the surface, the lord of the mansion, as the host of the six-faction competition, set up a banquet to reconcile the contradictions between the various factions and make the competition come to a successful conclusion.

In fact, this is a traditional program of Luqiu Yingzhuo for King Shun to win people's hearts.
