It's better to make money these days

Yesterday's banquet was over, and the next day he had to go to court, the faces of the ministers were not very good.

Li Huang's complexion is not very good, after all, he lost blood, and he didn't rest much all night.

He was sitting on the dragon chair, and before he could speak, a young eunuch suddenly rushed into the Golden Luan Hall and fell to his knees with a plop.

Wang Dequan opened his eyes wide and said sharply: "Where did you come from, you dog slave, do you know where this is?"

The emperor frowned, waved his hand to stop Wang Dequan, and Wang Dequan looked at the people below with sharp eyes.

The little eunuch was trembling badly, and said eagerly: "Your Majesty, last night the King of Zhou ordered the slave to call him in the middle of Mao, but the slave called him several times just now but no one responded, so the slave boldly entered the bedroom of the King of Zhou, I found out that the King of Zhou had been killed, so this servant hastened to report it!" After speaking, he knelt on the ground, fearing that his life would be endangered.

As soon as the words came out, the audience was in an uproar.

The emperor's face was deep and he didn't say a word. Ministers, look at me and look at you.

Li Zheng glanced at his brother quickly, then looked at the other princes, and found that they were all frowning.

The vassal king was killed in the palace, and no matter who killed the royal family, he could not escape the responsibility.

Right Prime Minister Pan Daren stepped out and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, in my view, this matter is probably a trick of the feudal lords."

Li Huangmo slightly raised his hand to signal, Wang Dequan had to turn around and walk out from the side passage.

Mr. Jiang, the Prime Minister of Zuo, also came out: "I don't think that the security guard last night was basically at the banquet. There were so many people, it's not impossible that some villains sneaked into the palace. King Zhou might have been killed by his enemies."

Master Pan glanced at him: "Master Jiang, the vassal kings are becoming more and more aggressive, and this action may become the trigger for a war. No matter what, there is no reason for the vassal king to die in the palace. "

Mrs. Jiang calmed down and said, "Yes, as long as he died of illness."

Wang Dequan walked quickly to Li Huang's side, leaned over and whispered: "Your Majesty, three of them are dead and one is missing."

Li Huang lowered his eyes: "Who?"

"King Mu."

Li Huang tightly grasped the handle of the dragon chair, looked at the two quarreling below, and said majesticly: "Okay. I have sent someone to check it just now. Four of them died, three escaped, and a big battle is inevitable."

The two prime ministers on the left and right glanced at each other, and both retreated to their positions.

The princes whispered.

"How could this be?"

"It's just an excuse. I'm afraid those people are all fake."

Li Zheng glanced at his brother, and then at the person seated above, thinking wildly in his mind.

Could it be that his elder brother and his father made the four of them foolish?Just to find a reason to start a war?

After going down, Li Zheng followed behind Li Zhan listlessly.

Li Zhan turned around and looked at him suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

Li Zheng looked at him complicatedly, Li Zhan was confused by the look, but in the end Li Zheng didn't say anything, just shook his head.

Li Zhan: "Go and eat something when you're hungry. I have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

Li Zheng looked at his brother's back and let out a long sigh.

The easy life is coming to an end soon.

......

Mo Hansheng heard the knock on the door, and before he could speak, the man came in.

He looked at him funny, and then realized that the man seemed to have lost his soul.

"what happened?"

Li Zheng wobbled over and sat down, resting his head on his arms, and said mournfully, "Three of the four vassal kings died and one escaped." And it seemed that his brother did it.

Mo Hansheng's eyes flashed, and he said clearly: "Do you want to start a war?"

Li Zheng gave a muffled grace.

Mo Hansheng couldn't help but patted his head, and comforted him: "Da'an has been stable for so long. Since ancient times, the general trend of the world has been that the long-term must be united, and the long-term must be divided. Don't you know?"

Li Zheng let him touch his head, his thoughts drifted uncontrollably.

He hasn't let anyone but his brother touch his head yet.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Mo Hansheng suddenly had a possibility in his heart, and he said, "You...you don't want to go to the army, do you?"

Li Zheng paused, Mo Hansheng frowned slightly.

"How could it be you? Where are your brothers?"

Li Zheng sighed: "It's brother."

Mo Hansheng thought for a while: "His Royal Highness?"

"kindness......"

"But he certainly won't let me follow."

Mo Hansheng briefly recalled the Seventh Highness. Although he lived here for ten years, he rarely had the opportunity to contact the princes.On the other hand, the palace was on fire that day, and this man moved to his palace with His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince. He had seen that man, but it was only a few glances.

To say that he was most impressed was what his brother did at the banquet yesterday.

I have to say, that was a strong guy.Not talking about force, but referring to other aspects.All in all, he is a man not to be underestimated.

Mo Hansheng smiled: "You have to trust your brother."

Li Zheng nodded.

Anyway, he was going to follow.

At lunch time, Li Zheng didn't go to the imperial dining room to get food, but ate a whole vegetarian meal with Mo Hansheng.

After eating, Li Zheng touched Mo Hansheng's arm, and wondered: "Hey, why do you eat so little, and you don't see how thin you are?" Naturally.

Mo Hansheng glanced at the hand pinching his arm, and said with a smile: "Maybe it's because sometimes there are extra meals. Although the meals are small, the frequency is not many."

Suddenly, Li Zheng, oh, he forgot about Lu Li.

"Why haven't you seen him these days?"

Mo Hansheng said: "I'm busy with something."

Li Zheng nodded, and suddenly asked: "Do you think the matter of those four people... did it?" He stretched out his finger and pointed upward.

Mo Hansheng thought for a while, then shook his head slightly.

"Why? What happened to me yesterday."

Seeing how cautious he said, Mo Hansheng couldn't help but wanted to laugh, but he still held back: "It's true that you were hurt by that, but it's impossible to do such a big thing because of this. Pay attention to the active side and the passive side. This is for the common people to see."

Li Zheng frowned, thinking about what he said.

Mo Hansheng was not in a hurry, and didn't continue talking. The seriousness of this person made people look at him involuntarily.

In fact, it is not difficult to think, Li Zheng immediately answered: "We were assassinated, and when the war started, we would be the right side, and they would be passive; if they were killed here, it would seem to the common people that it was for revenge, and we would be at a loss."

Mo Hansheng nodded, and continued: "So if one of the four of them died, they might have been killed, but if three of them died, then they might have directed and acted on their own. Who escaped?"

Li Zheng shook his head.

The emperor didn't say who it was, but he must be a ruthless character.

......

On the second day in court.Lord Chen, the servant of the Ministry of War, said: "My Majesty, before the news reaches the other side, we should send troops immediately. Although it is not a good time, we can catch him by surprise."

Mr. Zhang, the servant of the Ministry of Punishments, seconded: "Your majesty, the servants brought by those four people have all been interrogated, and there is no usable news. No matter what method they use, they all insisted that they are really the king. , Those three people are just disguised, not real people. As for the one who ran away, it is not known whether it is true or not. Before that one has time to do something, it is best for us to take the initiative."

Mr. Wen retorted, "Your Majesty, the war is sudden, and there is no time to prepare enough food and grass for the army. The weather is getting colder and colder. Considering the morale of the soldiers, we should prepare enough before making any plans."

Lord Zhou, Minister of the Ministry of Officials: "Your Majesty, it will soon enter July, and students will come to the imperial city to prepare for the imperial examinations. I think it is really not good to start the war now."

The ministers talked a lot about whether or not to start a war.

Li Huang looked at the princes below indifferently, and asked, "What do you think?"

The princes glanced at the brothers from the corner of their eyes, no one wanted to be the first to stand out.

Li Zheng's eyelids twitched suddenly, and then he saw his brother take a step to the side.

"My Majesty, my son thinks that now is the best time to send troops. First, we can use the reason of 'assassination' to seize the opportunity before the incident spreads to the outside world; The weather will affect people's thoughts and behaviors, but in this season of receiving goods, there is no need to worry about the morale of the soldiers, nor the supply of military pay and food; third, I believe that our soldiers in Da'an can return home before the end of the year And return."

The ministers were all stunned by the words, and then they saw clearly that this was the former "transparent" Highness, and they were even more surprised.

The emperor didn't say anything, just nodded.

Li Jun lowered his eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up in an unnoticed arc, his eyes were full of calculations, he raised his head and frowned and said, "What Brother Seventh Emperor said is very true, but the emperor and my sons think that you should hide your strength and bide your time, and when the time is right, it is better to be surprised The best policy." To put it bluntly, he is the one who stayed behind.

Li Shuo glanced at them back and forth, and then said, "My minister seconded the proposal."

The rest of the princes were silent, not ready to speak.

Li Zheng frowned, really worried about Daan's future.

It is not easy to survive internal and external troubles.

It's a good thing he stayed behind, so it's a big deal to change places.

Living is the last word.

Li Huang thought for a moment before saying: "We will discuss this matter tomorrow. Is there anything else you want to play?"

Mr. Liu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, it will be July [-]st soon, what do you think about that one?"

This kind of ambiguous remarks should not have appeared in the court, but because the identity of the person who was talking about it was also embarrassing, it was not easy to pursue it.

Li Huang frowned slightly, he almost forgot that there were protons in the palace.

It's no wonder he doesn't remember, that person's sense of existence is too low.

Li Zheng intuitively felt that the person they were talking about was the one in the wheelchair. His whole body was tense, and he held his breath unconsciously, afraid that the person above would kill him with a sentence.

However, it does not.

"The imperial guards escorted him back, and we must ensure his safety."

"Yes."

Li Zheng exhaled, feeling confused again, escorting a person, as for such a big show?

The imperial guards are all used... isn't that specially designed to protect the emperor?

After the next court, his brother was called away again.

Li Zheng felt that he was definitely going to discuss the matter of going on an expedition. This group of people is really fake, they have all been appointed by default, so what else are they going to do?

He sneaked to the man's residence and told him about the matter, of course it was not a drama about going out, but about his leaving.
