Just as Li Ye was worried, the group of court officials in the imperial city was already in panic at this time. Only the left and right prime ministers knew that the emperor had gone to the Nanxuan Domain to inspect the war in southern Xinjiang. The other group of court officials were all unaware of it.

Li Fei, who knew she was really like, contacted the mother clan's secretary Linghu Kuangyu, and the Youxiang and others to discuss the next issue.

Because before the emperor traveled, he only verbally explained state affairs to the second prince temporarily with the assistance of the left and right prime ministers, and no other decrees were left.

This not only puzzled Concubine Li, but also made the left and right princes embarrassed.

The emperor just gave a "temporary reign" and had no more will, not even a hint.

The group asked Yan Wuxue, the eunuch who was left behind in the palace. The eunuch also looked at everyone helplessly and said, "How could Your Majesty let his servant handle such a big deal? It is said that it was to be told to the two prime ministers."

Yan Wuxue naturally knew the inside story, but even he did not dare to say it out.

After all, the emperor still has two trump cards, one is Li Ye from southern Xinjiang, and the other is Mr. Mo who has returned to Fengyun City to live in seclusion.

It is not Li Ye who is most loyal to the emperor in the Five Realms dynasties, but Yan Wuxue, who is guarding the palace.

Just because the two of them had conspired for a long time before the emperor left, they finally concluded that they would make trouble, anyway, the elite troops that could fight were now all in southern Xinjiang and were controlled by the eldest prince.

It is the tiger talisman that can mobilize the world's troops and horses, and the emperor gave it to Li Ye, the national commander.

If the domain lord dares to privately mobilize troops into the imperial city, it would be a blatant rebellion.

These days, Yan Wuxue accompanied the second prince to court every day, just like a piece of wood, standing there without saying a word.

What was strange about the two ministers on the left and right was that since the emperor went to southern Xinjiang, there was no news. Even the southern Xinjiang war report that had been reported every ten days before was no longer sent to the imperial city.

In addition to the eldest prince in charge of the Southern Xinjiang, there is also a national teacher who is personally appointed by the emperor.

This is a very strange situation.

A situation that no one can understand.

In the Changchun Palace of Concubine Li, the second prince and the Secretary of the Central Committee Linghu Kuangyu were sitting opposite Concubine Li, and the three of them were discussing.

"I wonder what brother thinks about this matter?" Concubine Li looked at Linghu Kuangyu and asked with a smile.

Linghu Kuangyu frowned and thought for a while before whispering: "Sister, are you sure Your Majesty will not return to the court?"

"This is natural, otherwise he wouldn't have left in a hurry at this moment." Concubine Li said in a narrow voice.

"But, the emperor has enough time to explain the new emperor's affairs. He just asked the second prince to temporarily take over the government affairs?" Linghu Kuangyu asked in confusion.

Concubine Li looked at him and nodded. "I have asked about this, but His Majesty said that there will naturally be a conclusion when the time comes, and I am afraid that there will be more dreams when the night is long."

"You can't wait for your elder brother to return to the court, otherwise there will be no show for me." The second prince said resolutely.

He knew very well that as long as the eldest prince and the national guru came back, he would definitely not push him to the position. This was his intuition.

Linghu Kuangyu was a little surprised and looked at Concubine Li and said, "The second prince is worried about it. Now the war in southern Xinjiang is getting better. If the eldest prince and the national army retreat to the grassland enemy and return to the court in triumphant manner, no one dares to oppose them."

"For the sake of the current plan, we can only take the initiative first, so let Your Majesty leave a verbal order and order the second prince to be the new emperor." Concubine Li tightened the scarf in her hand and said in a deep voice.

Linghu Kuangyu looked at his sister and didn't want the second prince to ascend to the throne, but...

"It's just that we don't have an imperial edict or a jade seal in our hands. Is this reasonable?" Linghu Kuangyu asked quietly.

"We don't have it, don't they have it either? Otherwise, they would have announced the imperial edict in southern Xinjiang long ago." Concubine Li said coldly.

"Yes, uncle, we must first take action and catch them off guard. When our side is done, they will not be able to make a fuss when they return to the court." The second prince said fiercely, he could not wait.

Linghu Kuangyu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and nodded at Concubine Li and the second prince. "This is a good plan. Since neither of them has an imperial edict, it depends on who is getting closer."

The second prince laughed loudly as he heard this: "Uncle can accomplish this, and you will become the national teacher in the future."

Linghu Kuangyu looked at him and smiled embarrassedly, without replying.

"Then I'll bother me to contact the ministers who were close to us in the court, and then choose a day to express my wishes to the world." Concubine Li was also afraid that there were too many dreams in the night.

"This matter allows me to walk around. You mother and son don't show any signs these days." Linghu Kuangyu finally made a decision. After all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

......

In the following days, the powerful people in the imperial city discovered a sign that Linghu Kuangyu, who had always disliked visiting each other, was walking around the palace of the ministers in the court for the first time.

Some well-informed people have speculated that the dynasty is about to change?

The imperial lord has only been away for a few days, and the imperial city is about to change?

These court officials are too brave.

However, the guesses continued to guess privately, and the walking around as usual in broad daylight.

Everything is changing quietly.

Perhaps it is really as the second prince and Concubine Li thought, being the first to ascend the throne may not be a means.

What if it succeeds?

People should have dreams when they are alive.

Just like what Buddhism says: thoughts and actions are all in one thought.

I just don’t know if this thought can lead to thousands of miles.

Will this thought change in the world?

......

Li Ye and the eldest prince, who were far away from the southern border, naturally did not know that the imperial city had changed. On the third day of the battle in Nanyun City, the eldest prince led an army of 80,000 to the near the post station in a mighty manner.

The army set up a camp on the empty wasteland, waiting for the next order.

Li Ye couldn't help but smile bitterly as he looked at the eldest prince who personally led the army south. His hard work finally touched him. It seemed that the two had to travel to the three towns together.

"The national teacher won't blame me for personally expeditioning, right?" The eldest prince walked into the guest hall of the inn with big strides and said to Li Ye.

Li Ye looked at him helplessly and smiled: "There is a marshal who personally fought for me, and he just happened to share a city for me."

"Do you want to attack?" The eldest prince didn't understand Li Ye's intention.

Li Ye looked at him and shook his head, and smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's surround them first and prevent the three towns from gathering together."

"This idea is good. We can fight one by one, they must have never expected it." The eldest prince smiled.

"When they think of it, they may not be able to meet their wishes." Li Ye replied quietly. He could have predicted that the situation between the four kings would not be able to take care of each other soon.

The eldest prince sat next to Li Ye and laughed: "If I were them, either abandon the city and return to the grassland, or the four kings lived in the same city."

Li Ye nodded and smiled faintly: "If they really had four armies in the same city, I wouldn't dare to touch them."

After all, everyone has similar forces, and Li Ye will not bet on the lives of all the soldiers to bet on a war that had already been won.

"They made a lot of calculations, but they didn't expect that the national teacher would defeat them one by one and encircle them and annihilate them." The eldest prince couldn't help but exclaim.

Li Ye looked at the eldest prince's excited look and said softly: "The army rests for one day today and sets off to the three towns tomorrow."

"How to arrange the personnel?" the eldest prince approached the front and looked at him and asked.

Li Ye walked to the table, picked up a few tea cups on the table, and started to work on it.

"The Grand Marshal brought 30,000 troops and followed Jiang Shuai to Kaiyang City. Long Shuai took 30,000 troops to Xiaguan. I took 40,000 troops to Xichun. The other generals were allocated according to the heads."

Li Ye looked at the eldest prince, pointed to one of the tea cups and said, "Let's open the sun first. As long as we take down this place, the other two cities will be destroyed without attacking."

"Are you going to launch an attack soon?" Jiang Huo and Long Po, who rushed over after hearing the news, asked loudly as soon as they entered the door.

Li Ye looked at the two people who were rushing in and smiled and said, "The two deputy coaches are here just in time, so let's assign the tasks."

Jiang and Long first greeted the eldest prince, and then sat down next to the table.

"Tomorrow, please help Long Shuai bring 30,000 troops to Xiaguan and camp two miles outside the city. Be careful not to attack. I don't think they dare to come out."

"Jiang Shuai followed the eldest prince to Kaiyang City and set up a camp outside the city. When I settle down, I will cherish everything outside the city, so I will meet with you."

"Didn't you say you want to attack? Why didn't you attack again?" Jiang and Long asked in confusion as they looked at Li Ye.

Li Ye looked at the two of them and shook his head, saying, "Don't worry, just surround me first."

The eldest prince looked at the two of them anxiously and gently knocked on the table and said, "I will follow the arrangements of the national teacher for this matter. Instead of going to attack for a strong force, it is better to wait for them to leave the city."

The eldest prince understood Li Ye’s meaning. Using his own weaknesses to attack the opponent’s strengths is not equivalent to using human life to fill in the pit? He can’t do such things, and Li Ye can’t do them.

Only by surrounding and not attacking can you take the initiative.

When the forces of both sides are similar, whoever takes the initiative will be able to win the war in front of you.

Li Ye not only wants to win, he also wants to win with the minimum price.

This not only requires careful layout, but also compares the patience of both parties.

Whoever can't help but start first will lose the war.

The three towns were surrounded and the kings could not gather together. This was Li Ye's plot.

How could he easily give up the trump card in his hand, who had already tasted the sweetness of the land last winter?

Long Potian was about to ask again, but was stopped by the eldest prince and said with a smile: "Deputy Commander Long, this matter is settled. You have to look at the Iron Knights of the Grassland in Xiaguan for us. Don't let them run out and break our plan!"

Long Potian smiled and patted his chest and said, "I swear to defend Xiaguan to the death and prevent any reinforcements from the grassland from running out of the city."

Li Ye gave him a blank look and said lightly: "This is not necessary to fight to the death. You can pull a thousand siege cars and the siege cars in the Hundred Siege to Xiaguan. I don't understand that they dare not attack you!"

Jiang Huo pointed to the chariot outside the door and stared at him and cursed: "Are you a pig's brain? These weapons are enough, not to mention defense, even siege."
