Lin Pingmo changed back to Ling Tianmo, and the emperor gave him a large mansion and returned it to his mother and concubine. The late An Jieyu sealed the queen. Recently, he was investigating the rebellion of the An clan. According to the case, it is bound to be rehabilitated by the An family.
There was news from the palace that day that it was to celebrate the birthday of the twelve princes. There was a dinner party, and Liu Qiqiao was invited to the palace to participate. Sent to the Shen Mansion.
Later, it was placed on Liu Qiqiao's desktop.
Liu Qiqiao looked at it. The person who sent it was still waiting outside. Liu Qiqiao asked Lan Xiang to go back. I got it!
The man stood outside, raising his voice and said, "Our master said, please come over, he will wait for you to come over, and have another banquet!"
Liu Qiqiao opened the door, and the man immediately bent down and knelt down. She whispered, "I am just an insignificant one. Go back and tell your master, thank him for his kindness, and I will go there. That's it. !"
The people here should be busy.
Seeing that person slowly go away, Liu Qiqiao retracted his gaze, Lan Xiang said with joy: "Auntie, it is the prince who invited you to dinner. Not everyone has such a chance!"
Liu Qiqiao Shi Shiran smiled, "You are so happy, what can you be proud of?"
Lan Xiang curled his lips and said, "Of course it's a matter of pride. Your current status is the lifesaver of the twelve princes. How many things have even the emperor rewarded? Tell me, is it comparable to ordinary people? If the matter is placed on Aunt Gao or Aunt Zhou, they might blow up what they will be like, but the lord, you will not be open about everything..."
"What's so blatant about this, you!" Liu Qiqiao smiled, walked back to the room, and looked at the invitation on the table. She hadn't thought of Lin Pingmo recently, and didn't know that he had become a prince. What is it like.
Liu Qiqiao can still remember now that when he first met Lin Pingmo, he looked like a smirk, but his demeanor was arrogant. It seemed to be a long time ago.
And Qiu Zhentian, when he saved him, he just thought he was pitiful. Liu Qiqiao saved his life with the intention of saving people’s lives and winning the seventh-level buddha, but he did not expect that he was originally a fourth-rank belt in Chaoyanli. The guard of the sword, even more unexpected, now, because of his merits in protecting the twelve princes, he was made a second-ranking member. I heard that the emperor let Qiu Zhentian take charge of the Imperial Guard and the army of Gyeonggi. This is an important position. This is equivalent to tying the safety of the entire capital to him alone, and the guard of the palace is also within his duties, which is very powerful.
You know, King Ye has spent so much effort over the years to bring in a Zhao Gang, the leader of a branch of the Imperial Guard. Now, this Zhao Gang is under the management of Qiu Zhentian.
Therefore, in the entire capital recently, the most restless person should be King Ye. He ran into the capital for three days. It is rumored that civilian officials and generals often come and go in his mansion recently, and many people are talking about it. , This battle for the reserve, now, is the real beginning.
Among the princes today, the prince is backed by the queen. He is the most plausible. The successor to the throne, the Queen Xu family, has always been the home of the Dayu Dynasty. Even the queen has three generations. The queen is generous and generous. For these years, she has been in the palace and the people, and has a high reputation. Her son, the prince, is also praised for being gentle and gentle, and has the appearance of a generation of virtuous monarchs.
The king Ye was supported by his concubine Liu Guifei. Since An Jieyu's death, the emperor was not close to the female for a long time until Concubine Liu appeared, and he favored Concubine Liu, more than An Jie back then. Yu, I still want to spoil her, she only sealed her son Ling Tianye, became the king of Ye, and handed over most of the army to him. This glory, for a long time, made the ministers some guesses about the emperor’s intentions. It wasn't just that the throne was passed on to him.
But the king of Ye has been a king for a few years, and he is still a king of Ye. This makes people who speculate have a muddled picture in their stomachs. No one can guess what the emperor thinks.
Although there are many emperors and princes, it seems that there are only a few who can take over the throne seriously. The prince is counted as one, and his age and experience are all good. Another king Ye will have many customers and many capable people in the palace. Over the years, people have been guessing that King Ye is so powerful and a strong opponent of the prince. If he wants to become the emperor, the most people are afraid of supporting him.
But now, Ling Tianmo, the prince who has just been recognized, fled fiercely. Before people got used to it, Qiu Zhentian and An Ziwen were all around him, all generals and civil servants. , Liu Shilang, Zhou Ge old, are his supporters.
They had some friendship with Jiangnan An's before, but now that An's has been rehabilitated, they are happier than anyone else.
Compared with the gatekeepers in the Ye Palace, the Twelve Princes Palace was much quieter.
No one knows what the twelve princes are like now. The people have a lot of guesses, and Chaoyan Shang, except for those who are familiar with him, most other officials are also guessing.
Two days later, the emperor said that he was going to do something for the twelve princes. He was eighteen years old this year. He had been outside the palace before and lived a life of displacement. The emperor was distressed for the son he had just found, and he wanted to make up for him.
In the Ye Palace, King Ye asked the Royal Doctor Wang who had just called: "Father's illness, I seem to have gone to most of the disease recently, Royal Doctor Wang, you people from the hospital, you have a high level of skill!"
Wang Taiyi hurriedly knelt down tremblingly: "Don't dare, don't dare, forgive me for the veteran, the emperor's body is not as good as it seems!"
King Ye raised his brows: "How do you say this?"
The Royal Doctor Wang said: "It is reasonable to say that the age of the emperor is not very high, but his body is already in a bad shape. During this period, although he is happy, he looks like he has recovered from a serious illness. But, in fact, whether the veteran gave him his pulse or auscultation, his condition was not optimistic. It was like the arrow shot. Although the castration was fierce, it was already at the bottom..."
King Ye looked at him and asked softly: "What the doctor Wang said is true?"
The doctor Wang kowtowed his head lightly on the ground: "This matter is about the emperor's dragon body. The veteran dare not say anything, everything is true!"
For a moment, Wang Ye showed a smile on his face, but he looked at the back of the neck that was protruding from the back of the official cap of the Royal Physician Wang, he was busy closing his smile, and his face straightened up, Fang said. : "Okay, Doctor Wang, please get up soon!"
After that, the two people talked for a long time before the doctor Wang left.
After the doctor Wang left, Wang Ye called someone to continue the tea. He patted his hands gently, and then a few people walked out of the room.
They were all his counselors, and they were all hidden in the inner room just now.
The first one was He Qingyuan, his first counselor. He came forward and said with some emotion: "Listening to the meaning of the emperor, the emperor is a little bit back!"
Others also agreed casually. King Ye was stern, unable to show his eagerness in front of these subordinates. He said: "Oh, after all, the father has been sick for so long, even if the twelve brothers come back, No matter how happy he is, he can't really continue his life!"
These people went on talking one after another.
"I don't know why the emperor wants to celebrate his birthday for the twelve princes at this time. It's a coincidence. As soon as I recognized it, I just caught up with him for his birthday?" a counselor said.
He Qingyuan frowned and said, "I'm afraid the emperor is more than simply celebrating him a birthday!"
King Ye raised his eyebrows and said in dissatisfaction: "Otherwise, what else can I say to him?"
He Qingyuan smiled, "Of course not, the emperor has a deep heart, and he definitely wouldn't be so rash. He killed the An clan at the beginning, and now, because of regret, he makes up for the twelve princes in every possible way. It is difficult to say whether it can be above the imperial power!"
King Ye nodded: "This is the most difficult to guess. When he treated my mother and concubine well at the beginning, he at most made me the King Ye. At that time, we arranged a lot of people around him and reminded him overtly and secretly. Asking him to change the title of prince to me, he did not agree... Over the years, he has long been weak to my mother and concubine, and he is not enthusiastic about the queen. Fortunately, he is old and the new favorite Liu Jieyu , I heard that I was pregnant, but after all, it’s still not a climate, so it’s not something to be afraid of!"
"The prince still has to beware of the twelve princes. I think that, as the prince said, An Jieyu is different in the emperor's heart. Because of guilt, he will not immediately seal the twelve princes as princes, or true Receive the pass to him, but, I guess, this time, it will definitely show something!" He Qingyuan said, he pondered for a moment, and said: "I feel that it is most in line with the emperor’s mood and his usual practice, I Guess, he will most likely make the twelve princes a king..."
King Ye was stunned, but he forgot, because among the 15 sons of the emperor, except for the prince, he was the only one who was made a prince.
Those brothers were all princes, and the princes screamed, but how Qingyuan said that it was a serious matter to seal a prince.
That proves that in the heart of the emperor, the twelve princes can sit on an equal footing with themselves and the prince.
"Then what do you want me to do?" Wang Ye asked.
He Qingyuan frowned, and said for a long time: "The prince has no way to stop it. You can only let it go. This drama is now in the middle of the scene. You can't stop the excited emperor. We have also seen it. The emperor is now rushed by this happy event, and all have a sense of rejuvenation. The only thing we can do is to consolidate our existing strength, and don’t let the twelve prince secretly grow bigger, and, I think, the prince will not Just sit back and watch!"
"How can I place my hope on that bear!" King Ye cried, he could not afford to look at the prince. In his heart, a wasteful one, occupying the position of the prince for so long, has long ago bored him.
"That's true, but we can't act rashly, prince, in the current situation, whoever can't sit still will lose first. Even if the twelve princes are sealed as princes, they are nothing but a bare prince. The support of this is not enough to be afraid. You have endured for so long and cannot act rashly. In the current situation, the prince should be the prince who is more anxious!" He Qingyuan said.
King Ye nodded: "Yes, haha, he has been sealed as a prince for so long in vain. If I were him, I must be depressed to death!"
They said this, but they didn't know that inside the Twelve Prince's Mansion, the surface looked like a lake, but in fact, inside, there was also a fierce quarrel.
An Ziwen's cronies just rushed over from the south and handed An Ziwen's secret letter to Lin Pingmo.
The focus of everyone's discussion is the things mentioned in An Ziwen's letter.
The An family was rehabilitated. It stands to reason that An Ziwen, as the last blood of the An family, wants to come to the court to thank the emperor.
However, An Ziwen said that he would not come to the capital again, and he also said in the letter that he could not believe in the emperor, saying that the emperor is a perfidious person, rebellious, it is the nature of the emperor, also called his nephew, be careful of the emperor. a little.
Zhong Gantang is the one who supports An Ziwen most. He said: "I also support General An. We cannot hand over military power to the south. We have to expand. Don't believe him what the emperor says. Our army has grown a little bit until now. Easy, if he accepts it in the name of recruiting security, there is no way to retreat. Therefore, I agree that General Ann will not come to the capital. He will guard at the south. Moer, you are here. But keep it. If the emperor really wants to compensate you, you will temporarily perform your filial piety in front of him. If not, we will help you go out. We will be the king in the south, and we can also compete with the north!"
Some people were against it. One named Xia Ren'an shook his head and said, "I think it’s better not to do those dangerous things at this point. The emperor’s mind is hard to guess, but we can’t push him in a hurry. Go to our opposite!"
Zhong Gantang said: "Big Brother Qiu is now in charge of the Guards. What a good opportunity is this. If we don't turn back now, when will we wait?"
Xia Ren'an said: "If we succeed in the uprising, we will be called usurped by the people of the world. If we can get the emperor's edict, then it is justified. The master has this opportunity. As we all know, the emperor is not satisfied with the prince. , Our only opponent, that is, King Ye!"
"You think King Ye is easy to deal with, then you are wrong... He is cruel, and he has a bunch of counsellors under his hands. Moreover, he has been in the capital for so long, and he has some friendship with those officials. The root system is huge. He is head-on, fearing that it will be us who will suffer!" Zhong Gantang asked.
Xia Ren'an said, "We still have a bargaining chip, the emperor. The emperor is obviously more inclined to us and to the master, right?"
Zhong Gantang said angrily: "If you don't take advantage of the present and overthrow him, then wait for his reward. I'm afraid that in the end, it will end as before!"
