Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

Originally, Li Ji thought that the emperor secretly sent someone to contact Li Qi.

But in fact it is not the case.

Before Li Qi left the fief, he got the task assigned by the king.

Zhengwang asked him to find a way to meet the emperor after he arrived in Shangjing to see how the emperor is doing now. If possible, it is best to inquire about the emperor's views on cutting the vassal.

Li Qi did as his father ordered.

When he entered the palace to face the saint, he deliberately separated his confidants.

The confidant quietly stuffed money into the people who served the emperor, and asked about the emperor's current situation.

They did it secretly, but the emperor still noticed it.

That night, someone from the palace quietly appeared in Zhengwang's mansion to spy on Li Qi.

When Li Qi said this, he couldn't help coughing, his face flushed abnormally, and his red eyes were full of hatred.

Li Ji asked someone to pour a glass of warm water and feed it to Li Qi.

After drinking the water, Li Qi felt a little more comfortable in his throat.

He took a breath and continued.

"I know the plan of the father, the father wants to sound out the words of the saint.

If the sage does not support the reduction of the vassal, the father and the king can reach an alliance with the sage.

They joined hands to cooperate internally and externally, and even His Royal Highness the Regent may not be able to defeat them.

But if the sage also supports the reduction of the feudal clan, it means that the matter of cutting the feudal clan is a foregone conclusion.

In this way, the father no longer needs to take chances, and just go straight to the bottom of the boat. "

Li Ji looked at him expressionlessly: "Has the saint agreed to form an alliance with you?"

Li Qi grinned, his voice became hoarse and unpleasant.

"Yeah, the sage said that cutting down the feudal clan was the regent's idea alone, and he didn't support it."

Even though he had expected it, Li Ji still couldn't help but find it ridiculous.

The matter of reducing the vassal was a charter set by the emperor long ago.

It's just that the emperor at that time was still young, vigorous and ambitious, and he was not paralyzed in bed like he is now, lingering on his last breath.

In order to be able to regain power, the emperor is now willing to seek skin from a tiger, and he can even completely deny the ambition he once set.

Li Qi: "As the saying goes, the enemy of your enemy is your friend.

I made a verbal agreement with the saint.

As long as I can help him regain power, the matter of cutting the feudal clan can be completely abolished. "

Murdering the sons of other vassal kings is the first move of the sage.

As long as something happens to the princes in Beijing, the vassal kings will be in chaos.

Once they become chaotic, the regent will be in a state of being attacked from both sides, and at that time, the emperor will have a chance to seize power.

Plans work.

However, they have changed in the process of implementation.

This variable is Yu Wang Shizi.

So far Li Qi has never thought why he stumbled on Prince Yu's son.

"I've clearly planned everything, and I'm only close to killing Prince Yu's son. Why did the regent appear at that time?"

Li Ji replied indifferently: "It's not just right."

Li Qi opened his eyes slightly.

"Have you already planned it?"

But then he denied the speculation.

"The dispute between me and Prince Yu that night was a sudden act, and it is impossible for you to predict."

At the dinner that day, everyone saw Prince Yu fling his face at the Prince Regent, and left in a huff, leaving the Prince Regent where he was, causing the Prince Regent a lot of embarrassment.

It stands to reason that the regent should be angry.

Under such circumstances, the Prince Regent must not be in the mood to control the life and death of Prince Yu's son.

Li Qi naturally thought so too.

But he didn't know one thing——

The Regent has the ability to read minds.

As early as when Prince Yu's son took the opportunity to spread his anger, the regent had already heard the other party's heart, and knew that the other party was not really losing his temper, but deliberately acting for Li Qi, so as to lure the snake out of the hole.

Li Ji said slowly: "We are just a temporary idea."

Li Qi still couldn't believe it.

"If it was just a temporary idea, how could you cooperate so tacitly?"

Hearing these words, Li Ji felt at ease, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

"No way, we are so tacit understanding."

Li Qi: "..."

What's with this smug tone?

Something is wrong with you, Regent!

...

Li Ji returns to the Prince Regent's Mansion and tells Man Man about Li Qi.

He also took out Li Qi's confession.

There are two full pages of paper, the paper is full of words, and there is Li Qi's inscription at the end.

Hua Manman looked at the content on the paper, feeling rather complicated.

The reason why she deliberately lured Li Qi to attack her was to lure the snake out of the hole and catch Li Qi, the real murderer.

In this way, she can show her worth in front of the regent.

As long as the regent can take a fancy to her, take her under his command, and take her for his own use, she can use the power of the regent to get rid of Yuwangfu.

Now that Li Qi was arrested, the truth came to light, and she was indeed "followed" by the Prince Regent.

The result was exactly as she expected.

But the development process in the middle is completely different from what she expected.

Could this be the same goal in the legend?

Hua Manman put down his confession.

"What is your lord going to do next?"

It wasn't that she threw cold water on purpose, even with Li Qi's identification, there was no way to convict the emperor.

After all, that is the emperor!

Even if he is paralyzed in bed now, he is still the king of a country.

Li Ji smiled meaningfully.

"Although I can't convict him, I can let the people in the world know about it. As for the merits and demerits of the saint, people in the world can comment on it."

Hua Manman understood what he meant.

The dog man intends to make the emperor's crimes public.

This is almost tantamount to public execution!

Li Ji did what he said.

He immediately sent people to put up notices everywhere inside and outside the city, and the notices clearly stated the crime of the emperor ordering people to commit murder.

He also ordered people to write the matter into a storybook, and let the storytellers tell it in various teahouses and taverns. Later, some people adapted the matter into an opera story and officially staged it in the theater.

Not to mention, these scripts and operas are still quite popular.

After all, this matter involved the current emperor, and it was adapted from real events.

In modern society, this is almost tantamount to the news that the president of a certain country paid for a murder. Who wouldn't want to take a bite of such a big melon? !

This incident became a big scene in Beijing.

Not long after, even the emperor who was far away in Shangjing Palace heard about it.

He was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot.

Zuo Ji was so frightened that he scrambled to call for the imperial doctor.

The emperor thought that he had been diligent and caring for the people since he ascended the throne, and he had left a good reputation among the people. Even if he could not live forever, at least he would be rated as a wise king in the history books in the future.

But now, his good reputation has been ruined by Li Ji.

In the future, as long as the people talk about the emperor, they will think of him hiring murderers to kill people.

The stain will stick to him and can never be washed off.
