Chapter 22: Rebellion
Li Xun looked at the white skull in his hand and the direction in which the silence had disappeared, exhaled lightly, and was silent for a long time.
After about a cup of tea, Li Xun instructed his cronies to hurry to the palace to invite Prince Yi to come, saying that there was something important to discuss.
After about a few teas, the new letter sent out by Li Xun led a young man wrapped in a black cloak and quietly entered General Li's mansion.
The man's figure looked to be no more than a teenager, and his entire face was obscured by darkness and could not be seen clearly.
Li Xun's cronies led him to the door of the secret room, and Li Xun's cronies retreated with interest.
As soon as the black figure entered the secret room, he said to Li Xun in the secret room: "Uncle Xun, what is the matter with calling me so late?"
Li Xun saw that it was Zhao Yi, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "You came this time, and you weren't followed, right?"
Zhao Yi saw Li Xun's cautious appearance, and knew that there must be something serious, so he said: "I was careful with that entourage all the way, and I deliberately made a detour a little farther away, and no one followed me. It's just that the guards at the palace gate didn't let me go, and I didn't let them go until I got out of the prince's waist card, but those guards were all our people!"
"It's good that no one is tracking!" Li Xun said with a sigh of relief.
"Uncle Xun, let me come so late, what's the big deal?" Zhao Yi said.
"It's about planning. With the current situation, we will be able to do it in ten days!" Li Xun said.
Zhao Yi said: "Didn't Uncle Xun say that the real immortal soul is missing, and the plan has changed, could it be that the real immortal soul has been found?"
"The Immortal Soul True Man has already died in the West Heaven and has been killed!" Li Xun sighed and said.
Zhao Yi opened his mouth wide in shock.
The immortal soul is really profound, and he was actually killed by someone, wouldn't the person who killed him be even more terrifying.
Zhao Yi has always been afraid of the real immortal soul, his life and death have nothing to do with him, but as soon as he dies, the probability of success of his plan is reduced a lot, so who will fight his father, this is the problem he is worried about.
Li Xun saw Zhao Yi's surprised and then confused expression, and understood his concerns, so he said: "Prince Yi don't worry, the emperor has someone to deal with, and the Tao is above the immortal soul!"
"There are still people in our Qingyang country who are more advanced than the Immortal Soul Dao, who is that?" Zhao Yiqi said.
Li Xun said: "Yes, there is more than one! one is Shui Hua who once treated Zhao Yu, and most of the immortal soul real people were killed by him, and the other is the immortal soul's uncle who died out. ”
"Bloom?" Zhao Yi exclaimed.
"Not bad. Li Xun said.
"Most of Shui Hua's old ways will not be used by us, but is that silence reliable? Is he willing to drive for us?" Zhao Yi said worriedly.
Li Xun told Zhao Yi all about the Silence Night Invasion of the General's Mansion, as well as the plans of the two of them, and the promise of the black iron box to the Silence after the matter was completed. The only thing he didn't mention was his own embarrassment trapped by silence.
After listening to this, Zhao Yi said, "I see. That black iron box can attract such a master as Silence, most of them are treasures, it's a pity to give it away like this!"
"Since ancient times, fish and meat and bear paws have not been able to have both, and after Prince Yi sits firmly in the country, there are not a lot of treasures!" Li Xun smiled bitterly and said.
Zhao Yi said: "What Uncle Xun said is reasonable, as long as Silence can help me complete the unification, why not give him the black iron box!"
Li Xun nodded with satisfaction.
After a while, Zhao Yi said worriedly: "Then the old way of Shuihua won't delay our big event, right?"
"That old man Shuihua is very greedy for wine, and he rescued Zhao Yu to ask for a few sips of wine to drink. He had been gone for several months, and he may have left Qingyang Kingdom. Even if he appeared, Silence would definitely seek revenge on him for the killing of his nephew. The Silence Dao should not be under the water bloom, and the Silence will definitely do its best to stop him when the time comes. Li Xun said.
"That's great!" Zhao Yi said.
"With the current situation, we will be able to do it in ten days, and at that time we will be able to control nearly eighty percent of the military power, and those who oppose us will also be wiped out, and the remaining old stubborn forces that support the emperor are no longer to worry!" Li Xun said.
"Zhao Yu's little thief is still practicing in Lingyun Temple, and he will be brought back to the palace in the next few days, and then let him go on the road with the emperor!" Zhao Yi said.
"Good. Tomorrow, I will report to the emperor and ask Zhao Yu and Lu'er to hold an engagement ceremony after the fifteenth!" Li Xun said.
"Uncle Xun, didn't you say that after the matter is completed, Lu'er will be married to me?" Zhao Yi exclaimed.
"Prince Yi doesn't need to be nervous, this is just the layout. When the crown prince is engaged, hundreds of civil and military officials will come to congratulate him, and then we will wipe out all the opposition forces!" Li Xun said with a smile.
Zhao Yi said: "That's very good. If that's the case, I'll rest assured, after the matter is completed, Uncle Xun will become the hero of my Qingyang Kingdom under one person and above ten thousand people!"
"Please bring more from Your Majesty then!" Li Xun hurriedly saluted.
After finishing speaking, Li Xun and Zhao Yi laughed at the same time.
At this time, every household in the imperial city of Qingyang is full of lights, and people come and go on the street, which is much more lively than usual, and it is not all-encompassing compared to the New Year.
The first restaurant in Wuyang City is full of people in front of the food forest gate, and the guests are full.
The shopkeeper Li Fu was busy at the moment, and kept settling accounts, he thought: It is really the fortune of the prince and the crown princess, and now the business in the past few days is better than the usual business for half a month, and this time he can make a lot of money.
Li San, the second shopkeeper, was also busy serving tea and pouring water to the guests, and his spirit was much better than usual. The better the business in the store, the happier the shopkeeper is, maybe he will give everyone a red envelope, and then he can save more money and go back to his hometown to marry a daughter-in-law. When he thinks of the better life in the future, he laughs happily.
Most of the diners in the restaurant are some well-known squires and outsiders in the neighborhood.
After dinner, these people who are a little famous in the local area will get together to talk, and the scene is quite lively.
On a table in the middle of the hall in the middle of the hall, there was not a single bit of big fish and meat, all vegetables and a small amount of snacks, which seemed incompatible with such a rich place as the food forest.
At the table sat an old monk dressed in monk's robes, listening intently to the conversation of the nearby diners.
Although the voices of these diners are not very loud, it is naturally not difficult to hear them clearly with Master Jueben's teachings.
Judging from the way they dressed and talked, most of the diners near Jueben were well-known scholars, wealthy gentry and wise men in Wuyang City, and Niu Yuanwai was also among them. At this moment, he was talking to an older wise man, and there were five or six people around him, and the last time Old Man Ma disturbed the situation, it did not completely affect his status and prestige in the slightest.
A tall, thin diner said, "Wuyang City is really lively now, except for the Chinese New Year, it hasn't been so lively for a long time!"
"yes. We haven't had such a happy event in Wuyang City for a long time, and now the prince is going to be engaged to the daughter of General Li. After the emperor's list was posted, the whole city celebrated, and the emperor wanted to reduce the taxes of merchants and farmers for three months, what a good policy!" said another middle-aged diner with a slightly dark face.
When Jueben heard that the current prince was engaged, his eyes were fixed, and his face was a little gloomy. The diners in the hotel were talking to each other, and no one noticed the change in his face.
Jueben has traveled around the empire for more than ten days and discovered a mysterious cultivator. That person doesn't seem to be under him, and his cultivation should be a ghost path faction, and he tracked it down several times, but he lost it.
Although he didn't know the true origin of the mysterious ghost person, with several traces, Jue Ben vaguely felt that this mysterious ghost person seemed to have something to do with General Li Xun, and he was unconsciously worried that Zhao Yu was coming. Although he did not accept Zhao Yu as a disciple, he indirectly passed on his Demon Sutra, and in fact, he already had a master-apprentice relationship.
In the corner, he heard the diners casually chatting about the prince's engagement and how grand the scene would be, and then they talked about making a fortune. After asking the shopkeeper about Li Xun's situation and the typical time of the prince's engagement, Jueben paid for the meal and left in a hurry.
Inside the palace, the lights are colorful.
Everyone in the palace maids and eunuchs had smiles on their faces, and they were all busy with the work at hand, and the imperial dining room was also busy preparing the imperial meal at noon.
Today is the great day of the prince's engagement, and all the civil and military officials will come to congratulate him.
In the main hall of the palace, the emperor sat in the hall and sat in the middle position.
The crown prince and Li Lu sat in the first position on the right, the first one on the left side was Prince Yi, and the second was General Li Xun.
After the civil and military officials finished saluting the emperor, they all congratulated the prince, and the prince and Li Lu thanked each other.
At this time, Li Lu is dressed in a red robe, and lightly paints some clothes, although the face looks still small, but at a glance, he knows that he is a beautiful embryo, and he will definitely have the appearance of a country and a city in the future.
When the emperor saw that the civil and military officials had finished congratulating, he raised his glass and said: "Today is the joy of the prince's engagement, all the lovers dedicate themselves to the country, and I borrow the prince's engagement, thank you for your hard work, I salute you!"
All the civil and military officials raised their glasses and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
"Long live, long live! Do you think you can really live long live?" Suddenly, a somewhat childish voice came out, and the civil and military officials were shocked, and there were actually people who openly resisted the emperor, and the courage was really too great.
