Watching His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's carriage leave, the sweat on Fang Xianzhong's face started to flow down. He took all precautions and calculated everything. He originally thought that the fact that he had not gone to Prince Pei's Mansion in the past few days could make the Crown Prince relax. Be alert.
What's more, now that King Pei has been defeated one after another, Changmingfang has broken up King Pei's alliance with the Tibetan and Turkic remnants, and then thrown another one to King Pei. He had to break with Pei Yan, the Zhongshu Province Zhongshu Ling, and became suspicious of each other. Last night Wang Bo He was also imprisoned by the Ministry of Punishment for privately killing an official prostitute.
Early this morning, I gave myself the entire task of rebuilding Prince Wu's Mansion. I did not allow the supervisors to get involved and gave me all the power. It seemed like I trusted him, but in fact I was forcing myself to walk towards the edge of a cliff.
Not only does he know how much money the Ministry of Works has, but His Royal Highness also knows it clearly. He has given the entire responsibility of rebuilding His Majesty's palace to him. Once he is financially unsustainable, let alone delaying the construction period, as long as the Ministry of Revenue or Dali After His Majesty's order, Temple inspected the accounts of his Ministry of Works, and his career would definitely be ruined.
In this way, the prince was able to avoid a direct conflict with King Pei, who had to suffer and be unable to plead for himself in front of His Majesty.
If coupled with the key point that he is King Pei's prospective father-in-law, it will be difficult for King Pei to favor him even if he wants to.
Once His Majesty and the Queen punish him and cause Li Xian to feel dissatisfied, then it will not be Li Hong that Li Xian has to face, but His Majesty and the Queen. If King Pei insists on going his own way at that time, let alone fighting for the position of crown prince. It's hard to say whether he can keep King Pei's position as prince.
What a deep scheming, what a trick to kill someone with a borrowed knife!
In just a few days after the prince returned to Chang'an, it seemed that all the things he didn't want to do were completely planned. Unknowingly, the power that King Pei had secretly cultivated in the past few years was eliminated. He is so weak, what else can King Pei use to compete with the prince!
Li Hong in the carriage had a vague smile on his face. If he wanted to save Li Xian's life, he had to get rid of all the instigators around Li Xian. In this way, after losing these help, No matter how hard he, Li Xian, worked, he couldn't make waves.
As for the relationship between Zhongshu Ling Pei Yan and Li Xian, just as he told Li Xian, he would not get involved for the time being. Let them continue to doubt each other and occasionally add fuel to the fire and add fuel to the flames.
If Zong Chuke could get the ironclad evidence that the Cui family of Qinghe hoarded and resold grain before Yuan Day, or could prove that they had an ulterior relationship with Li Xian, he would be able to take over the Fan Yang and Qinghe surnames in one fell swoop. Lu Zhaolin now has enough confidence to challenge the majesty of the Lu family head, and with his secret support, it is expected that the Lu family will also undergo major changes on the first day of this year.
"Your Highness, why are you leaving Chang'an?"
She is now very afraid that the prince will favor her. The residual warmth from last night's passion is still there, and there is still a trace of pain and inconvenience. This makes her have to quickly shift her attention to other aspects to slow down the pleasure and pain in her body. .
"Li Zhe hasn't been in Chang'an these days. He went to play in the pagoda camp. I don't know why he's crazy. He hasn't seen anyone for several days. Let's go and have a look." Li Hong said lightly.
On the day of heavy rain, after reprimanding Li Zhe and Langya King Li Chong away in Hechangfang, Li Zhe ran to Futu Camp the next day and stayed there until now, saying nothing.
He sent Wei Tuqi from the prince's personal guard to ask him to return to Chang'an twice, but he refused both times. As a last resort, fearing that something might happen to Li Zhe in the Futu Camp, Li Hong had no choice but to leave Wei Tuqi with Li Zhe to look for him. he.
"In the army... uh." Yan Lingbin squeaked, grabbed Li Hong's hand, and murmured with a slight drop of fragrant sweat, "Then... isn't it inappropriate for this slave to appear in the army?"
"Isn't that inappropriate? Li Zhe brought several palace maids with him in the army. Although it is expressly prohibited, there is no rule in the army against the prince, because I would not have thought that he would run to the pagoda camp and not come out." Li Hong shook his head speechlessly, gave up teasing Yan Lingbin, and thoughtfully helped Yan Lingbin tidy up his clothes.
Lawless is now in full command of the Futu Camp, so he did not seem too nervous about Li Zhe's arrival. After all, he had dealt with the King of England before.
Li Zhe was riding on horseback at the moment. The eunuchs and maids beside him were shouting loudly: "Your Majesty, please be careful. Don't fight with them. Hey! Why don't you go and help!"
The playground was filled with dust and smoke, and there were crowds of soldiers standing around. But in an open space, there were several palace maids and eunuchs standing in palace clothes. At this moment, their hands were folded together like small trumpets, and they were placed in front of their mouths. Shouting loudly towards the playground.
Twenty or so horses were galloping on the playground. The heads on the horses were tied with scarves, wearing long leather boots and holding a club. They leaned over the horses and quickly rushed towards a rolling colorful basket on the playground. The figure was flying around, and the first person to come over, the stick in his hand flew like flying, hitting the hollow colored bamboo pole with bright colorful strips tied around it. After being hit, the colorful bamboo pole quickly flew towards the opponent like a shooting star. Rolled towards a small gate of the venue.
Then the person who came out of the diagonal stab rushed ahead of the opponent and hit the Caihu elsewhere again to prevent the opponent from driving the Caihu into his own door.
Li Hong and Yan Lingbin, accompanied by Lawless, slowly walked over and stood in front of several palace maids and eunuchs who were shouting. They were shouting so loudly that the four of them were so excited that they didn't notice that there were a few more people around them. They were still He shouted to the young man Goldman Sachs, who was wearing a dark red robe amid the smoke and dust.
"Li Zhe can also play polo? How are his skills?" Li Hong asked with interest.
"The King of England has made rapid progress in the past few days. He was a little worse when he first came..."
"Who said that, the King of England's polo is the last one? I will let you see the King of England's polo skills in a moment... I have met His Royal Highness." When the maid heard that the King of England's polo skills were not good, she turned around and retorted, Unexpectedly, she saw His Highness the Crown Prince standing beside her at some point, looking at her with a smile on his face.
The flushed and frightened palace maid hurriedly wanted to apologize to Li Hong. Li Hong patted her shoulder casually and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, I don't blame you."
Then looking at the field, although Li Zhe had worked hard enough, but no matter whether it was riding or batting skills, compared with the soldiers of Futu Camp, they would be much inferior. If it weren't for the other soldiers on his side who intentionally or unintentionally , try your best to hit Caizhe in front of him and give him a chance. I'm afraid all Li Zhe can do on the court is run back and forth in vain.
"Prepare a horse and stick for me." Li Hong looked at Li Zhe, who was serious and persistent on the field. Although he ran back and forth a lot, he was not discouraged at all. His face was full of concentration, and he asked other players on the field from time to time. the companion shouted.
"Yes, Your Highness." After being unable to salute, he hurriedly left to prepare polo tools for His Highness the Crown Prince.
"Your Highness, do you want me to be the general..."
"No, I'm just thinking about whether to be with the King of England or to be his enemy." Li Hong looked at the situation on the field and smacked his lips in thought.
"My servant asks Your Highness to keep company with the King of England. The King of England has lost three times in the past two days and has not won yet. If Your Highness is willing to help the King of England, I think you will definitely win." The maid obviously had a lot to do with Li Zhe. I met Li Hong for the first time. Apart from being frightened just now, I still cared about the King of England at this moment, hoping to find a strong supporter for the King of England.
"What do you mean?" Li Xian asked, looking at Yan Lingbin, whose eyes flickered as he stared at the speeding horse on the field.
"This servant also feels that it is best to help the King of England." Yan Lingbin smiled at the maid next to him and agreed.
When the palace maid heard that Yan Lingbin supported her, she nodded immediately, wishing that His Highness the Prince would immediately put on his armor and go into battle to help the King of England win, so that she could feel proud in front of these powerful soldiers.
"Okay, then I will listen to you two and fight with the King of England to resist the enemy!" Li Hong said boldly.
Yan Lingbin gently took off the turban on his head and replaced it with a stronger one that could stop the sweat from flowing down his forehead.
The maid next to him also helped Li Hong put on a pair of long leather boots, and then put on the same dark red polo suit as the King of England Li Zhe outside his coat.
A tall horse was unable to be led over. Its hair was the same color as the war horse under Li Zhe's crotch, which was pure black. On the other side, there were a dozen pure white war horses.
Unable put a finger to his mouth and blew a loud whistle. A soldier turned his head. In the smoke and dust, seeing Unable waving, he hurried over. When he was not far away from them, he skillfully jumped on the horse and waved. Jump down and run over quickly.
"You're out, let's take over for the general."
"Yes, General."
"Your Highness, be careful." Yan Lingbin looked at the scene of galloping horses and fierce battles. He couldn't help but said worriedly behind Li Hong as he mounted the horse.
"Don't worry." Li Hong took the stick handed over by Wu Tian. It turned out to be the same one he had been using all these years. It was also engraved with dense and exquisite patterns.
"Drive!" Li Hong clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and with the shouts from his mouth, the horse neighed, as if it couldn't wait any longer, spread out its four hooves and flew over like an arrow.
