Chapter 56
Li Yin flipped through the book and savored the characters in the book. Sometimes he was excited and sometimes sighed. Just as Li Yin was addicted to the characters in the book, someone knocked on the door: "Your Majesty, have you rested?"
It was Wei Jiujiang. Li Yin said to come in. Wei Jiujiang pushed the door and walked in. Seeing that Li Yin was still reading, he asked, "Prince, haven't rested yet? I just learned about your return from the border, so I came back late."
Li Yin said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, I heard you went to Mr. Pan's house? Is it okay for Mr. Pan to come in?"
Wei Jiujiang replied: "Mr. Pan has been in good spirits recently. He also joked with me that I followed the prince and became the Sima of the Prince, and that I could be the official position of the fifth rank. He laughed at himself and said that he had been an official for many years and was only a fifth rank!"
Li Yin smiled and said, "If he wants to envy you, let him come to me another day!"
"Okay, I'll give him Sima's position!" Wei Jiujiang also smiled.
Li Yin stopped laughing and asked, "My mother wrote me to ask me to return to Beijing immediately. Do you know what's up?"
Wei Jiujiang replied: "I don't know about this? But it shouldn't be a bad thing, otherwise the Empress should notify me."
"I think so, I just can't figure out what it is." Li Yin said helplessly.
"Will you know everything if you go to Beijing tomorrow to see the Empress?" Wei Jiujiang said.
"That's right. Oh, by the way, what did Mr. Pan tell you?" Li Yin asked.
"It's nothing, I just talked about some recent things in Beijing. However, Mr. Pan was quite worried about the emperor's call to the King of Qin into the palace to live." Wei Jiujiang replied.
"I know this, I'm afraid there will be a storm in the capital. There is something you heard about when Mr. Bian is going to return to the army?" Li Yin continued to ask.
"There is such a saying. Yes, King Li Jingda of Qi repeatedly conquered Wang Lang, and the emperor was very unhappy and said something in anger. Mr. Pan, the navy governor Lin Renzhao, and Wu Xian and Lord Wu all strongly agreed. However, Grand Marshal Zhou Chang, Prime Minister Feng Tingji and others have always been jealous of the contributions of the border general, so they strongly opposed this time." Wei Jiujiang explained.
"What's my uncle's attitude?" Li Yin felt that he should find out whether his uncle was really on his side.
"It's strange that Prime Minister Ma did not express his opinion this time, he was just silent." Wei Jiujiang replied.
"What are my uncle really thinking?" Li Yin muttered dissatisfied.
At this time, footsteps and speech sounded in the yard, as if it was Wu Qiran's voice. Li Yin was about to go out to see what was going on, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw Wu Qiran walking towards him.
"Yin Zi, you don't say anything when you come back! I only realized it was dark, but I still came over. I have to spend the night with you tonight!" Wu Qiran said bluntly.
"No problem, it's okay to stay for how long!" Li Yin said generously, and after that, he let Wu Qiran into the house and closed the door.
Wu Qiran sat down and said, "We have finally gotten together again, but Wang Meng is missing. By the way, Yin Zi, you should be able to see him often at the border."
Li Yin shook his head helplessly and said, "No, in order to avoid suspicion between brother and Lu Mengjun, we have only seen each other once or twice."
Wu Qiran nodded and said, "It's always good to be cautious."
"By the way, you said in your letter that there was some news about the imperial tomb. I don't know what it is, let's hear it." Li Yin said.
Wu Qiran took a sip of tea and said, "According to my father, there is actually a batch of treasures worth 2 million taels of silver in the imperial tomb. If we get this batch of treasures, we can secretly expand our strength." Wu Qiran pondered for a moment, and then said, "It's just that the imperial tomb is guarded by secret guards. It may not be easy to get it. Moreover, it takes a specific route to enter the center of the imperial tomb, but my father is unwilling to tell me about this route." Wu Qiran shook his head unfortunately.
At this time, Wei Jiujiang asked, "This matter should sound extremely secretive. How did Lord Wu Xian and Lord Wu know about it?"
Wu Qiran explained: "In fact, the only ones who know about this matter now is the current emperor, the Grand Marshal Zhou Chang and my father. My father was one of the people who participated in the construction of the imperial tomb at that time, and he was also an assistant minister with Zhou Chang. But later he was disliked and was promoted to the Minister of Personnel."
Li Yin thought for a while and said, "As far as this is concerned, we won't get this batch of treasures for a while?"
Wu Qiran and Wei Jiujiang also said: "I'm afraid this is the case."
Since he couldn't get something for a while, Li Yin didn't think about him, so he changed the subject and asked, "Is there any movement between my elder brother and my second brother?"
Wu Qiran said: "There is no movement yet, but according to my guess, this is just peace before the storm."
"Yes, they will fight sooner or later. Maybe it's during my time in the capital. It's better not get involved." Li Yin said worriedly.
Wei Jiujiang comforted: "Your Majesty, don't worry. As long as we work together, what can't be overcome?"
Li Yin looked at Wei Jiujiang and Wu Qiran and smiled and said, "I don't have to worry about you, it's just that death is inevitable."
"Tomorrow I will take Lord Li Ji and Li to the palace to meet the saint and visit my mother. What do you think I should say to my father?" Li Yin asked about tomorrow's arrangements.
"Li Ji is the newly appointed court counselor?" Wu Qiran asked.
"Yes, when I was at the border, I discussed anything with him. This person is very wise, but..." Li Yin seemed a little worried.
"Just what?" Wu Qiran asked alertly.
Li Yin hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just that this person's behavior is too vicious, and I always worry that he will do something unacceptable."
Unexpectedly, Wu Qiran said: "Yin Zi, it doesn't matter. We are at the right time to use people. Moreover, the prince and the king of Qin are not good people. If we have such a person to help, maybe they are their nemesis."
Li Yin thought about it and said in the end, "I hope nothing will happen. Let's talk about my entry into the palace tomorrow. What do you think?"
Wei Jiujiang thought about it and said, "Since there will be a storm in the capital, hiding is not a solution. I saw that the prince told the emperor that it would be better to stay in Beijing during this period of time. "
Wu Qiran also agreed: "Yes, as long as the two princes have a dispute, we may take the opportunity to fight for some benefits."
"It's good that I will act according to the opportunity tomorrow. Besides, with Lord Li Ji and Lord Li here, there shouldn't be any mistakes." Li Yin said with confidence.
Wu Qiran reminded: "Yin Zi, you must be careful, it is better to be careful. If the second prince really takes the position of prince, then you will be the only one who can threaten him." (To be continued)
