The villain of Kuai Chuan Jiao is paranoid and black-bellied

Chapter 137 The Battle for Imperial Power

At this moment, Yun Fengjue had no expression on his face, while Quan Er was quietly standing beside him.

Yue Li held the prepared list, on which were written the names of more than a dozen court officials, but these were all officials below the third rank, and he knew that those above the third rank could not move at this time, otherwise the emperor would not be able to explain it.

Yue Li stood up, and after showing the prince the list to be cleaned tonight, he put it on the burning wick in front of the table and watched it burn slowly.

That night, Weiwei, Zongzheng, Xia Dudu, Shangzhou Inspector, Central Doctor, and other officials were surrounded by a group of officers and soldiers in their own mansion. The leader, Yue Li, ordered all the people in the mansion to kneel in front of him.

The man struggled to ask why he did this to them.

"What crime did you commit?" Yue Li looked at him without any mercy, and said coldly, "Is the crime of plotting to assassinate the prince enough?"

"What? When did I plan to assassinate the crown prince? You are spitting blood, I want to meet His Majesty!" These people actually had nothing to do with the assassination of the crown prince.

But Yue Li wanted him to die, because Yue Li and the prince had no evidence, so they couldn't do anything to King Yu, so they could only get rid of his henchmen, and get rid of some potential threats for the prince.

"The assassin who was caught has been recruited truthfully, and it's useless if you don't admit it." Yue Li didn't care at all, "I came here today according to His Majesty's order, remember not to be on the wrong team in the next life, or on the wrong team, but You will lose your life." Yue Li waved his hand, signaling the officers and soldiers to take him away.

The officers and soldiers took orders to take those people away.

All of a sudden, all the officials in the court were in fear, and they were all terrified.

"Those people have been solved?" Yun Fengjue looked at Yue Li who was standing beside him, and said lightly.

"Yes." After Yue Li finished speaking, he turned and left the mansion, and after letting the officers and soldiers clean up the rest, he went to the emperor's bedroom to report the results.

After listening to Yue Li's report, the emperor looked at Yue Li who was kneeling below, and said, "Good job."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise."

"I heard that you have been very close to the prince in the past two months?" The emperor asked Yue Lihan with his eyes.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have always obeyed your orders. No matter how close I am to His Highness the Crown Prince, my ultimate goal is to do things for you." Yue Li respectfully knelt down on the ground and replied motionlessly.

"You are very good and smart." The emperor was very satisfied with Yue Li's performance and answer, "With you in the court from now on, I will have another weapon to check and balance the court."

"The humble minister will devote himself to his Majesty's worries." I don't know if Yue Li is sincere to the emperor, but it is impossible for him not to guard against him. After all, for the emperor, he doesn't trust anyone except himself.

"Okay, you go down first."

"Yes, I will leave." After receiving the emperor's instructions, Yue Li stood up and saluted before exiting the emperor's bedroom.

When Yue Li left the emperor's bedroom, his face was dark and unclear, no one knew what he was thinking at this time.

After Yue Li came out of the emperor's bedroom, he headed towards the Prince's Mansion. When he arrived at the Prince's Mansion, he saw Yun Fengjue surrounded by beautiful maids who were feeding him fruits while he was lying on a bed. Enjoying it comfortably on the maid's lap.

Yue Li walked up to Prince Yun Fengjue expressionlessly, and saluted Prince, "His Royal Highness!"

Hearing Yue Li's voice, Yun Fengjue slowly opened his eyes, then closed them again, "Excuse me, sit down."

Yue Li didn't say much, and immediately found an empty seat to sit down, "Does His Royal Highness know what happened today?"

"What happened today?" Yun Fengjue asked lazily as before.

So Yue Li told Prince Yun Feng Jue what happened before, after Yun Feng Jue finished listening, he opened his eyes, looked at Yue Li and asked, "Really?"

"How dare the last general deceive His Highness the Crown Prince, I have reported this matter to His Majesty just now." Yue Li replied in a flat tone, respectfully.

"Okay." Yun Fengjue pushed away the maid who was feeding him fruit, and sat up, "Yue Li, you have done a good job, you are doing things for the prince, and the prince will definitely not treat you badly in the future." Yun Fengjue said There was a light in his eyes, and he looked at Yue Li with satisfaction.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Crown Prince, for your appreciation. We all work for His Majesty." Yue Li's words were impeccable, and even without outsiders, no one could find any faults.

"Yue Li, you did a good job this time." Yun Fengjue also rewarded him with some things.

"Your Highness, the prince, I still have something to do at the end, so I will leave." After Yue Li finished speaking, he stood up and bowed respectfully to the prince Yunfeng.

Yu Wangfu's study room.

Yu Wangyun and Shaoqian were in deep thought, when a servant's voice came from outside the door: "Master Li, please see me."

"Please come in." Yun Shaoqian hurriedly asked him to invite people in.

After Li Chu saw the servants go out, he said cautiously, "My minister pays homage to the lord."

"Don't be too polite, sit down."

"Thank you, Lord."

"This time the prince eliminated the party members, including Yue Li, they all put in a lot of effort. They all want to get rid of our influence through this time. The imperial examination will be held soon. It is obvious that they all want to absorb themselves through this imperial examination. If the prince strengthens his party members this time, it will be almost impossible to overthrow him again, so this time can almost be said to be a crucial move."

The crown prince and the prime minister formed a clique for private interests, and even some of the old officials in the DPRK and China were their officials, but they were firmly suppressed by the prime minister.

Li Chu hesitated again, and finally said, "What the lord said is that, and the crown prince will soon choose a concubine, but Cheng Taifu, Shangshu's mansion and other mansions will definitely marry the crown prince."

Li Chu and Yu Wangyun Shaoqian were facing each other on the two sides of the book case. They looked at the booklets in their respective hands, and their mood at this time was really rare.

They said a few words from time to time, and from every look in their eyes, they could see some undercurrents surging.

Suddenly, footsteps came from the door, and before Li Chu could raise his head, he heard a voice outside the door.

"My lord, the prince is here."

Shizi?

Both of them raised their heads, Yun Shaoqian smiled slightly and said, "Please."

The next moment, a man in his 20s walked in from the outside.

After the prince came in, he immediately walked over and saluted, "My lord."

"The son is free."

"Thank you, my lord." He stood up slowly, and immediately looked at Li Chu with those pure and restrained eyes, and Li Chu immediately stepped forward to salute: "My lord."

"Ah."

Li Chu just lowered his head and didn't even look at him, so he was about to leave when he heard Yun Shao say, "Li Chu, please leave first, the king and the prince have something to discuss, by the way, don't forget just now I command you."

Li Chu leaned over slowly and said, "Yes."

The door was closed.

Li Chu has already walked forward without looking back, his steps are so heavy, his expression is more dignified.

He looked at a certain place, feeling a little restless.

Alan—how are you doing recently?Pay more attention to your body and come to you after I have dealt with the matter here.

Suddenly, a dazzling red figure came over: "Li Chu!"

Seeing that bright red slowly approaching, Li Chu fell silent.

She walked up to Li Chu, smiled and said to Li Chu, "Have you finished talking with Brother Huang?"

"My minister has seen the eighth princess."

Seeing the warm smile on Yun Wanxi's face, Li Chu was completely at a loss, but Yun Wanxi smiled at him and said, "Go, I will take you to a place."

Looking at the person in front of him, Li Chu suddenly thought of Jiang Zuilan's clear eyes, he shook his head, "Princess Eight, I have something else to do, if you want to find someone to accompany you, you can find the prince, he is in the prince's study."

Li Chu didn't say anything, and left in silence.

Yun Wanxi just stood there, watching Li Chu's back and stomping her feet, you idiot!

Jiang Zuilan was on the eaves of the small courtyard, watching people shouting in the alleys of the capital.

At this moment, there was a sound of neat horseshoes from a distance on the long street at the door.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes, Jiang Zuilan looked up, and saw a group of people riding horses ahead, the white horses and green shirts looked quite imposing.

When the people who were watching on the street saw this group of people, they all retreated to the two sides, and even some students who came to the capital to take the imperial examination stopped to watch.

It wasn't until the group of people walked away slowly that someone whispered to each other: "Who are these people?"

"It looks like it's from the Commander's Mansion."

"Oh……"

"So it's from the Captain's Mansion!"

Jiang Zuilan saw Li Chu in the middle of that group of people.

Different from before, now Li Chu's face is much paler. He is wearing navy blue clothes with a tight belt. He has a vigorous figure and his hair is tied up high, which makes him quite majestic.

"I thought it was someone who came here with great fanfare, but it turned out to be Lord Li."

The voice was frivolous and had a hint of irony. Li Chu frowned and turned around to see that the person speaking was the middle-aged man in the middle in a fine attire. He looked quite greasy, but his eyes were shining.

Li Chu bowed to him with his backhand: "Lord Wang."

The man looked arrogant, walked step by step with his hands behind his back, and said leisurely: "Did you hear about the imprisonment of those officials yesterday? You are young, you have to keep your eyes open, and be careful to stand in the wrong team, when the time comes... "

As soon as this sentence came out, the other officials who came out with him all laughed meaningfully.

Li Chu's official career looks easy on the surface, even the captain, it sounds good to say, is not a real job, in the eyes of outsiders, it is just an idle job attached to King Yu.

Li Chu was silent for a long time before speaking, his voice was still calm: "Master Wang is joking, we are all working for the emperor, how can there be any team?"

Several officials around also sneered: "Pretentious."

"..."

There were blue veins on the back of Li Chu's hands, not only the back of his hands, he gritted his teeth hard, and frowned. These people did this to him not once or twice, and he endured it with difficulty.

He took a deep look at those people, and after a while, he turned his head away and left as if nothing had happened, the discussion gradually subsided.

Two hours later, the autumn sun was high, and when Jiang Zuilan was about to come down for dinner, she saw a figure wandering around the backyard of Shangshu Mansion.

The man wandered around for several times, for about an hour, Jiang Zuilan thought about it, got down from the wall, came to the wall near the street in the small courtyard, and flipped out.

When he wandered over again, Jiang Zuilan still said, "Li Chu."

He froze, turned around and looked at Jiang Zuilan with surprise and surprise, "Alan?"

"Who are you looking for here?" Jiang Zuilan thought he might be looking for her, but she wasn't sure.

"I want to walk around here, maybe I can see you." Li Chu knew that with his current official position, he could not openly go to the door of the Shangshu Mansion, so he could only run outside the Shangshu Mansion to see if he could see anyone. , even if you can get closer to her.

Li Chu originally wanted to say a lot, but when he really wanted to speak, he realized that he really didn't know what to say.

The little bit of affection between him and her, if you say you have it, you have it, if you say you don't, you don't have anything.

Looking into her cold eyes at this moment, he couldn't say anything and remained silent.

Jiang Zuilan didn't speak for a long time, Li Chu looked at Jiang Zuilan, sighed, and said, "Go to the teahouse over there and have a sit."

"Ah."

Li Chu led the horse and turned around, Jiang Zuilan followed behind him, and the two walked slowly towards the teahouse, one behind the other.

When they arrived at the teahouse, Li Chu ordered the horse to be taken away, and the two of them went up to the second floor.

The clerk found them a secluded place by the window, and the tea was served quickly. Li Chu poured the tea and put it gently in front of Jiang Zuilan: "Drink some more."

"Ah."

Jiang Zuilan picked up the teacup and took a sip, the fragrance was mellow.

Li Chu kept looking out of the window, Jiang Zuilan followed his gaze to see that his horse was tied up in the stable next to an old tree downstairs, eating hay, "When did you learn to ride a horse?"

"I learned it in Yu Wangfu."

Jiang Zuilan didn't speak any more, and the two of them just sat in silence.

Jiang Zuilan looked at the crowd downstairs, and suddenly, Li Chu turned his head and looked at the other side, his thick black eyebrows frowned: "Huh?"

Jiang Zuilan followed his gaze and turned her head to look over. On the other side of the teahouse, there were a few people in mysterious clothes, looking left and right.

Seeing this, Li Chu frowned with thick brows and looked serious.

He turned around, his face changed drastically in an instant, looking at Jiang Zuilan, he stretched out his hand on the table, subconsciously pulled Jiang Zuilan, and hurried downstairs.

Seeing that they had already felt something, Jiang Zuilan hurriedly followed behind him.

As soon as he got out of the teahouse, he immediately went to the stable and got on the horse, untied the reins, and just turned the horse's head, Jiang Zuilan had already walked over and looked up at him: "Who are those people?"

He rode on the horse, looked into the distance, shook his head and said, "It's staring at me."

"then you--"

After Li Chu finished speaking, he took another look at Jiang Zuilan, as if biting his teeth, and bent down to reach out to her.

His hands were rough and thick, and he said in a deep voice, "Come up!"

Jiang Zuilan stretched out her hand.

Sitting on a narrow horseback, the two galloped forward.

Jiang Zuilan sat in front of the saddle, Li Chu put his hands around her body, held the reins tightly, and galloped the horse non-stop.

For a moment, Jiang Zuilan heard the heartbeat of the person who was close behind him, so violently that it seemed that his heart was about to burst out of his chest.

As if wanting to ease the embarrassment, Jiang Zuilan said softly, "Your equestrian skills are pretty good."

There was a soft voice behind him.

Li Chu galloped his horse, and when the horse stopped at a place with a good view, he still had the feeling of waking up suddenly.

The hand on his waist had already been taken away by Jiang Zuilan, he rolled over and got off the horse, then reached out to Jiang Zuilan: "Be careful."

Jiang Zuilan didn't speak, and let him help her off the horse.

At this moment, Li Chu could only see Jiang Zuilan's side face, which had no trace of makeup, and was a little white under the sunlight.

Seeing the person whom he misses all day is in front of him, Li Chu's heart feels warm.

Although she wasn't the prettiest, she was the one who was destined to be in his previous life that he lacked in his heart.

Prime Minister's Mansion

The prime minister's subordinate officials reported today's situation to him at this moment. What happened yesterday caused many officials in the court to intercede for those people, but the emperor was used to domineering and suppressed these voices of dissatisfaction, but the prime minister knew that he could suppress For a while, but not for a lifetime.

"But today, the emperor appointed some officials, all of whom are from the prince's side."

"The emperor is a little anxious. He wants to use the assassination of the prince to balance the power of the prince and me, but the prince will soon accept a concubine."

"Continue to put pressure on the prince, let the prince know how difficult it is for him to sit in that position without the support of our prime minister's mansion." The prime minister thought for a while, and ordered his officials.

The prime minister heard in the morning that his daughter's life in the prince's mansion was not very good recently. It seems that it is time to put some pressure on the prince and let him know where his daughter should be placed. The position of a person should be far inferior to his own daughter.

"Yes!"
