The two boarded the boat and went down the river. It didn't take long for them to reach Yancheng. If they counted the time to go back and forth without delay, it was considered sufficient, so the two were not too anxious.
Mu Yunyao handed the tea cup to King Yue, and looked down at the charcoal fire in the basin, with inexplicable emotions in her eyes: "Fourth Master, what do you think is the situation in Kyoto at this time?"
She chose to go back to worship her father at this time. Although it was planned in advance, she also meant to avoid the turmoil in the capital. Since she and King Yue were determined not to participate in the affairs of the capital, they should just hide completely, so as not to let people Misunderstand.
The corner of King Yue's lips smiled: "Don't worry, the second brother can handle it. Besides, there are the father and aunt, and there can be no chaos in the capital."
"Um."
At this time, there was a dark tide in Kyoto. King Yue did not have much influence in the court, and did not attract much attention to his departure, but King Jin was different. He fought with King Ling before, but he was evenly matched, and even said he had the upper hand. I thought he was disabled, and the emperor banned him again. There should be no chance of turning over again. The emperor lifted the ban and resumed the title. What was even more unexpected was that the plum blossoms in the Jin Dynasty's mansion bloomed early and the lotus flowers were born in winter. suffered
The suffering caused God's heart to feel compassion, and only then did a strange omen come down to wake up everyone.
When King Ling heard the news, he immediately arranged for manpower. He wanted to expand the rumors and make Jin King Longzi become a real dragon, so as to cause the emperor's dissatisfaction. After all, the emperor dared to say that he was the real dragon and the emperor, and one of your princes said that he was the real dragon. Long Xiafan, doesn't it mean that he has the heart of not being a minister
As soon as King Ling's side was arranged, King Jin directly asked people to carry him into the palace to plead guilty, saying that it was rumors from the outside world, and the rumors had been exaggerated.
The emperor had heard about it for a long time, so he didn't pay much attention to it, but he was very satisfied with King Jin's cautious words and deeds, soothed him a few words, and reserved a special meal before arranging for someone to send him out of the palace.
After learning about it, King Ling felt inappropriate, and hurriedly called back the people who went to spread the rumors. Unexpectedly, when the manpower was taken back, the matter was still a big deal. In the capital, it was rumored that King Jin was the real son of the dragon, and even more exaggerated. The emperor should abdicate and cede the throne to the third prince...
As soon as such rumors came out, the people just listened to it as a lively affair. After all, it was not their turn to be the emperor. As long as they had enough to eat, it was enough, but the court was completely fried.
The Emperor Thunder was furious, and immediately ordered a thorough investigation, and finally found King Ling's head. King Ling entered the palace to apologize, and pushed out several of his stewards and personal followers to apologize, saying that everything was done privately by them, and he was completely unaware of it.
The emperor dealt with several stewards and personal attendants, and then fined King Ling three months' monthly salary, and ordered him to go back to properly discipline the servants in the mansion.
This incident can be regarded as the curtain of the three princes' struggle from the dark to the open. King Ling relied on the Li family to act recklessly, and the most supporters in the court.
King Yu had the support of Duke Wei, and he was very prestigious in the army, and behind him stood many ministers who held real power.
King Jin is currently the weakest, but he has the best reputation, especially in order to maintain the majesty of the royal family, the emperor did not reveal the truth of the dyke breach, so his reputation did not suffer much, but because he was blind, The experience of Fuming has attracted the attention of the people.
Xu Yanhan stayed with Princess Yide in the Yuhua Palace. Recently, she has been practicing chess hard, but she has made a lot of progress: "Mother, can Yao'er and Jun Yue come back in time for the New Year?"
"Yao'er said she will come back to celebrate the New Year. She has always said what she says, so you can rest assured." Princess Yide sighed faintly while drinking the tea that Mu Yunyao made for her, "This child just left. After a while, I started thinking about her."
Xu Yanhan nodded in agreement: "Yeah, Yao'er used to be by her side, so she didn't feel anything, but now she leaves suddenly, feeling that this day is extraordinarily long, as if time has slowed down."
Mammy Qu brought tea and put it aside: "The eldest princess and the madam can't stand it now, what will you do after the young lady gets married." Princess Yide frowned: "Mama Qu doesn't say anything, I'm better. As soon as she said that, I felt a panic in my heart, thinking that Yaoer was going to get married was like plucking out a piece of meat in my heart. I would take the time to talk to the emperor and give Qinfangyuan to Yaoer as a mansion. Let her marry King Yue
It's good to live in later. Anyway, Qinfang Garden is only a few steps away from the palace of the long princess, and the palace of King Yue is too far away. "
Xu Yanhan thought about the distance from Qinfang Garden to King Yue's Mansion, and nodded in agreement: "Yes, it takes nearly two quarters of an hour to drive there by carriage, it is indeed far."
"Then I'll talk to the emperor later and assign Qinfang Garden to Yao'er alone."
Qu Momo laughed secretly from the side: "The eldest princess has never done anything illegal in so many years, I didn't expect this first case to be broken on the young lady." The emperor was respectful to me, but secretly planned to pull me into the court. I broke this example, and it was a warning to those people, let them know that I only want to be safe and secure for my children. plan, nothing else
I don't want to care. "
Xu Yanhan was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head: "Mother, Yao'er said before that if you want to completely suppress Li Guifei, do you think it is necessary now?"
"What do you think?" Princess Yide looked back with a smile. Xu Yanhan pursed the corners of his lips: "My daughter doesn't know if what she said is accurate or not, it's just that although hitting a seven-inch snake here is the most deadly, if the snake is too big, there is no way to hold its seven-inch accurately. If you hit other places first, it can also consume its life. A dull knife cuts the meat slower.
, but can also kill people. "
"This is a good statement, and the metaphor is also appropriate, Yan Han, have you thought about what to do?"
"Mother, I don't know what a sophisticated strategy, only the cycle of cause and effect and the unpleasant retribution. I remember that the concubine Li Guifei had planned the affair between Zhou Gui and the guards. There are still many concubines in the palace who have miscarried for no reason. It is also time. Clear up the sins of the past, what do you think?" Princess Yide nodded: "Yan Han, you have a good plan, but you ignored the things that the previous dynasty, Concubine Li did, the emperor may not know, even if It is exposed, as long as the Li family does not fall, as long as the first prince is strong, Li Guifei will be punished at most, as long as he gets through it.
It doesn't matter, once she gains power again, she will definitely retaliate against you, and the trouble will be endless. "
Xu Yanhan nodded, very much taught in his heart: "But mother, there is no way to completely remove the Li family now, what should I do?"
"Now we are not the only ones who want to do something to the Li family. If we work together well, we can win by combining the inside and the outside."
"Mother, then I'll visit Concubine Qi tomorrow, just as her birthday is coming, I'll give you a gift to express my feelings." "Okay."
