That night, the government office sent people to Bieyuan, saying that there were distinguished guests visiting, and asked Liu Inspector to take Liu Li and Li Yue back to Lizhou City early the next morning.

So early in the morning, a few people packed up and rushed back to Lizhou City.

Li Yue was thinking along the way, what kind of distinguished guest would need to alarm him, the emperor, and it was only after he arrived at the mansion that he suddenly realized that the person who came was the sixth prince of the current dynasty—Li Yue's sixth emperor uncle.

I'm afraid that in the whole court, the only one who can make him come to greet him is Mr. Yang, that is, the Sixth Emperor Uncle.

"Sixth Uncle, why are you here?" Li Yue hurried up to greet him when he saw someone, maybe he was a little excited since he hadn't seen him for a long time.

The sixth prince smiled and said: "Chizhou is very close. I knew you were here, so I couldn't help but take a look. I haven't seen you in two years, and I've grown up a lot. Not bad." After that, he couldn't help but pat Li Yue's Shoulder.

The sixth prince's age seems to have not yet reached the age of forty, but he is a good-looking talent, but he is probably used to being idle, and there is an atmosphere of idle clouds and wild cranes all over his body, and he can't tell that he is a rich prince just by his appearance.

It is said that when he was young, he had some quarrels with his emperor's elder brother, but later he found his way back, and the two brothers reconciled as before.Therefore, after the death of the first emperor, the status of the sixth prince has always been the highest among several princes.

Among Li Yue's uncles, he is the only one who is closest to the sixth prince.

The sixth prince was a guest from afar, and Liu Cishi, as the head of the family, held a banquet.

After everyone drank for three rounds, the sixth prince started talking about business.

"The first emperor left early. Yue'er was too young to manage the government, so he handed over all the affairs of the court to the auxiliary ministers. Now Yue'er is seventeen, and it's time to be in charge of the government." The sixth prince said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present stopped their movements.

Li Yue almost spilled the wine in his hand, thanks to Liu Li who was next to him stretched out his hand to help him.He knew that this day would come sooner or later, but when it really came, he was a little at a loss.

What will become of Dayu's country in his hands?

Will he be a good emperor?Can he take up the burden?

Li Yue remained silent, and Liu An on the side spoke: "What the Sixth Prince said is very true. According to the late emperor's edict, His Majesty should be in charge at the age of 15, but at that time, Yue'er was seriously ill, and there was an eventful autumn in the court. It has been delayed until now."

"Mr. Yang is Yue'er's mentor, Yue'er will naturally listen to what you say." The sixth prince said.

Li Yue has also slowed down now, since this day will come sooner or later, he will naturally not escape when it really comes.And he knows in his heart that any escape is useless, what should be his is what he has to continue after all.

"Uncle Huang and Mister, will you go back to Beijing with me?" Li Yue asked.

The sixth prince heard the words and looked at Liu An, but Liu An looked at Liu Cishi who was beside him.Li Yue looked at Liu An and looked at each other, and his heart was cold for a while.According to his judgment, Governor Liu had always disliked him, so naturally he refused to let Mr. Liu go back to Beijing with him.

Sure enough, Governor Liu said: "Since Your Majesty has reached the age when he should be in charge, there must be rules for everything. When we accepted you as an apprentice, in order to avoid suspicion, we voluntarily gave up the military power of the Northern Army and Beijiang. When you go back to Beijing, don’t you want to abandon Lizhou City as well?”

Hearing this, Li Yue hurriedly said: "Although Mr. has not taken the post, he is still the Grand Master. If he wants to return to Beijing, he doesn't need to avoid anyone's suspicion. As for Lizhou... After I took office, I gave Lizhou to Liu The family is a fief, so Governor Liu needn't worry."

Governor Liu sneered: "Your Majesty is courageous, but Liu An and I cannot be separated, he will be where I am."

This is the meaning of not wanting Liu An to get involved.

Life in Lizhou is carefree, who would be willing to get involved in the mess of the capital?A few years after the death of the first emperor, the auxiliary ministers of the court took power, and various ministries formed cliques to fight. This is something everyone knows. It is not easy for Li Yue to be in charge.

If this matter is easy to handle, Li Yue will be in charge two years ago.

Illness is just a pretext. You can't say that the emperor is incapable of fighting for power, right?

"This matter can still be discussed, you don't need to rush to a conclusion." The sixth prince stepped forward to make a relief.

Liu An pondered for a moment, but didn't say anything after all.Presumably, he would have to convince Governor Liu before making any decision, and the matter was so important that he couldn't agree rashly.

Li Yue is not really stupid after all, even if he doesn't think about it deeply, he can still understand it.After all, he has been the puppet emperor for many years.

After the banquet, Liu Li accompanied Li Yue, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

"It would be great if you didn't take charge of the government. Although you have no rights, at least you can live a carefree life. No matter how much trouble there is for those assistant ministers, they can't sit on the dragon chair," Liu Li said. .

Li Yue looked at him and asked, "You really think so?"

Liu Li sighed instantly and said, "Well, I didn't think so, I just feel sorry for you. If you plan to take charge, you will be like a sheep in a wolf's den after returning to Beijing. I don't know how many people are waiting for you." eat you!"

"Hahaha, it sounds like it's not surrounded by wolves." Li Yue said.

Liu Li was startled, and then felt distressed.

This little ancestor is usually stupid, but he is not vague at all when he should be shrewd.Others are always worried that he will be fooled, but he is an ignorant sheep who has lived among wolves for so many years.

If it is said that Li Yue has no real skills, no one will believe him.

Smart when you should be smart, and stupid when you should be stupid. This is Li Yue's survival wisdom over the years.He can make the enemy paralyzed in a dangerous environment, and he can make a move at a critical moment, and seal his throat with a sword.

"Then what are you going to do next?" Liu Li asked.

"Let's take one step at a time." Li Yue said: "Actually, I can't bear to let Mr. get involved. He is living a life that I can't live with. If it's because I let him leave Lizhou, I really feel a little embarrassed. guilty."

Liu Li sighed and said, "My eldest father disagrees. If father wants to go, he will try to coax him. Don't worry, no matter who the two of them are, they will not seriously throw you back to the capital and ignore you."

Li Yue smiled when he heard the words, but his expression was still carefree.

At noon, Li Yue prepared his horse and went to the post house again. He couldn't explain why, but he really wanted to see Zhao Xun.Deciding to be in charge is a very important matter for him, and he hopes to let Zhao Xun know.

He wanted to know what Zhao Xun would say, to persuade him to hide his strength and bide his time, or to encourage him to fight those jackals?

After Zhao Xun learned about this, he was silent for a long time.Almost in a short moment, he thought through Li Yue's future path.

Li Yue is the emperor of Dayu, he has only one way.

There is no doubt that other options are dead ends.

"What are you hesitating about?" Zhao Xun asked.

"I'm wondering if it's worth it." Li Yue said.

Li Yue's father, the emperor, did not set a good example for him. In his consciousness, he didn't know what a good emperor was like.If you can't be a good emperor, what difference does it make if you are not in charge of the government?

If he is not in charge, Dayu will be like this at most. If he is in charge, Dayu may become better or worse.The biggest possibility is that even if he is in charge, Dayu will still be the same as before.

But the difference is that he needs to pay a lot to get his rights back!

"You are in your position, there is no retreat." Zhao Xun said.

"Then can't I stay where I am?" Li Yue said.

Zhao Xun was startled when he heard this, and then laughed angrily.Looking at the young man in front of him, he suddenly had a strange feeling, as if he had discovered a part of this young man that had never been noticed by outsiders.

This young man looks ignorant and weak, but in fact he has amazing intuition and insight.

When they met at the mercenary camp in Beijiang, the two hadn't seen each other for nearly ten years, but Li Yue could still trust him with his intuition.Just like when they first met more than ten years ago, Li Yue got close to him without any grievances, and he was sure that Zhao Xun was someone worthy of friendship.

Li Yue is actually not unsuspecting, he just can easily judge who is trustworthy by intuition, and once he has gained his trust, he will never have a little bit of defense.

At that moment, Zhao Xun suddenly felt that he was really lucky.

"This is also a way, if you don't move, the enemy won't be able to move first." Zhao Xun looked at Li Yue and said.Li Yue looked at him in surprise, and immediately understood the meaning of Zhao Xun's words.

The situation in the court will be broken sooner or later, but he is not fully prepared yet, it is better to accumulate slowly than to act rashly, and when the opponent makes a move, maybe he can accumulate a lot of money.

Li Yue said with a smile: "I think I have become smarter after meeting you."

Zhao Xundao: "You will become more and more intelligent."

"Hahaha." Li Yue laughed loudly, and suddenly felt that the depression and confusion in his heart had been untied.

After returning to the government office that day, Li Yue told the sixth prince that he did not want to be in charge and wanted to wait.The sixth prince couldn't understand what he said, so he was so angry that he slapped the table on the spot.In the end, even Liu An couldn't persuade him, and the sixth prince was so angry that he returned to Chizhou that day.

"If this matter gets out, I'm afraid there will be some guesses." Liu Li said, "The Sixth Prince is so motivating when he comes and goes, and it won't be long before the whole of Dayu will know that you sent your Sixth Uncle away in anger. gone."

Li Yue said: "Everyone knows that Uncle Six has had a quarrel with me, so everyone will have different guesses. If the people in the capital know that we are fighting for pro-government, guess what will happen?"

Liu Li frowned but was puzzled.

"Uncle Liu Wang and I have become antagonistic. Those people who don't want me to be in charge will divide me and Uncle Liu Wang into two sides. At that time, no matter which side they stand on, there must be one of us." Li Yue said: "It's better than me and uncle Liu Wang becoming their enemies together!"

Hearing this, Liu Li suddenly realized that Li Yue was trying to confuse the enemy, and at the same time change the chess pieces from the bright place to the dark place. I don't know who he learned this move from, but it is indeed a good move.

"Not bad." Liu Li said appreciatively.

Li Yue turned to look at Liu Li, and said, "I want you to stay in Lizhou."

"What?" Liu Li turned to ask him.

Li Yue knew that the other party heard it, so he didn't repeat it, and said: "You are a sharp weapon, you can be of great use, staying by my side will only..."

"Li Yue!" Liu Li suddenly interrupted him, and said with some annoyance: "Do you have a conscience, who went to get me back yesterday, and said that you don't want me today?"

Li Yue raised his eyes to look at him, and the two looked at each other. The reluctance and struggle in the young man's eyes didn't need Liu Li at all. Liu Li looked into those eyes, so angry that he couldn't vent his anger no matter what.
