Li Xiaogong was stunned and said in astonishment: "What do you mean by this?"
Li Yuanji held the tea cup enigmatically and smiled: "You will know after a while."
Li Xiaogong was blowing his beard and staring, almost wanting to beat the Riddler to death.
If he couldn't beat him, Li Xiaogong would have already taken action.
Li Xiaogong then threatened and asked probingly.
Li Yuanji refused to say whether he was alive or dead.
Li Xiaogong finally left Jiulongtan Mountain in anger.
…
Time flies to the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.
As Li Xiaogong said, the impeachment of Li Yuanji has formed a wave.
However, since the government office will not open until after the 15th Five-Year Plan, officials who want to impeach Li Yuanji can only talk in private and invite like-minded people to help. There is no substantive impeachment memorial that can be sent to the palace.
However, since he was sent to the palace, Li Yuanji wouldn't care.
Li Yuanji was more concerned about how big Yang's appetite was.
"Your mother's family has already claimed 30% of the benefits, are you still not satisfied?"
After Li Yuanji listened to Yang Miaoyan's conditions for Yang's opening, he looked stunned.
Yang Miaoyan looked a little unnatural, "That's what the person sent over there said. After clearly asking for 30% of the Dou family's interests in Duji Road, I still have reservations.
He said that if there is something he likes later, he can add it."
Li Yuanji laughed angrily at the conditions proposed by the Yang family, "They want to supplement here and there. They want to occupy as much as they can after the Dou family falls."
Yang Miaoyan looked embarrassed.
Although Yang didn't say it explicitly, that's what Yang meant.
After all, in the absence of particularly clear profit distribution rules, whatever Yang grabs based on his ability can be said to be his own.
"They are not afraid of dying."
Li Yuanji sneered.
The Yang family wants to get the lion's share of the tiger's skin. Do you really think that the tiger has no temper?
"I'll send someone back to discuss it with them."
Yang Miaoyan spoke subconsciously.
Li Yuanji waved his hand, "No, no need. Since they have such a big appetite, then I will satisfy them."
Yang Miaoyan's expression changed slightly, but she didn't say anything.
Yang Miaoyan had a premonition that her mother's family might be in trouble.
If the Yang family wants to get benefits from the Dou family, it not only needs the nod of Li Yuanji, but also the nod of Li Shimin.
Yang was very aggressive with Li Yuanji. He was completely merciless and couldn't understand his position. When he faced Li Shimin and was made things difficult by Li Shimin, what would Yang do to deal with it?
Go back and ask Li Yuanji for help. Will Li Yuanji help?
Could it be that Yang wanted to use the two daughters who were cowards in Li Shimin's house to help them persuade Li Shimin?
But is this possible?
Although Li Shimin is a person who covets beauty, he will never be fascinated by beauty in the face of big rights and wrongs, as well as absolute interests.
So let alone the two children of the Yang family in Li Shimin's house who were giving Li Shimin a thumbs up, even if the two sisters put down their reserve, shame, and dignity and went into battle together, Li Shimin would never give up the benefits that were easily available to him.
"Tell them again that since they want more benefits, they have to pay more. They will ambush Dou's iron business and grain business.
If they push back or fail, then don't blame me for being unkind."
Li Yuanji said coldly.
Yang Miaoyan agreed with a wry smile.
Li Yuanji looked at Yang Miaoyan and said, "Don't worry, I won't embarrass your family members, and I will also share some benefits with them."
Yang Miaoyan's face instantly became much prettier.
She doesn't care about Yang's misfortune, she cares about the misfortune of people from her lineage.
After all, people from her family don't have much say in the Yang family now.
If Yang suffered a loss, she would definitely make up for it with the people from her family.
Using concubines to supplement the direct descendants and using support to strengthen the cadres are the usual calculations used by large families.
"In the past few days, you should stay at home peacefully and don't go out and move around."
Li Yuanji reminded Yang Miaoyan when Yang Miaoyan was about to leave.
Yang Miaoyan was stunned for a moment and said, "But the eldest sister-in-law invited me to have a banquet in Quchi on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."
Li Yuanji frowned and said seriously: "Then you can't move around anymore."
Yang Miaoyan nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask any more questions.
She had guessed what might happen in the palace before, and now it seems that it is probably related to the banquet in Quchi on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Since Li Yuanji didn't let her ask any more questions or make blind guesses, she stopped asking or guessing.
Anyway, after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, she will know everything, so there is no need to rush.
…
Time flashed again, and it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Li Yuanji sat in the pavilion early in the morning and waited quietly.
Yang Miaoyan knew something big was going to happen today, so she didn't dare to interrupt.
Li Yuanji waited all day.
In the evening.
Quchi.
Li Jiancheng took the lead and led a group of military ministers and counselors, as well as a group of servants from the imperial government to arrive at Quchi.
Quchi has already been decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, hung with red silk and lanterns.
Flags of various colors are flying everywhere in Quchi.
The dragon-headed boat floating in the middle of Quchi is also decorated very brightly and gorgeously.
When Li Jiancheng arrived at Quchi, he first ordered his attendants to guard the place, and then called all his confidants to his side.
The leaders are Dou Gui, Zheng Shanguo, Wei Zheng, Tang Xian, Rong Jiusi and others. Among the military ministers, the leaders are Feng Li and Li Shou!
Li Jiancheng brought a group of confidants to the dragon boat. When the dragon boat reached the middle of Quchi, he subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "Is everything ready?"
All the confidants nodded in unison.
Dou Gui said in a deep tone: "Everything is ready, the only thing left is King Qin."
Li Jiancheng nodded with satisfaction, "That's good."
Wei Zheng hesitated for a moment and sighed: "I just want to wrong the empress."
Li Jiancheng glanced at Wei Zheng and said with an indifferent expression: "She and I are one, we both prosper and suffer, so there is no grievance or grievance.
If what I plan comes true, she will be the most noble woman in the world.
If it fails, she will suffer with me."
Wei Zheng opened his mouth, but said nothing.
Ren Gui hesitated again and again, then suddenly said: "Would you like to invite Wang Gui over to discuss it further?"
Feng Li glared and shouted: "What do you want him to do? He is a villain who has betrayed his master. If he knows about our plan and leaks the news, then all our plans will be in vain, and we will be in trouble as well."
Some people nodded in agreement when they heard this, while others stared at Feng Li in silence.
Ren Gui was scolded by someone whose status was not as good as his own, and her face looked a little ugly.
But out of the desire to seek his own government in his position, he still said, "Hasn't Wang Gui not betrayed His Highness yet?"
xiaoshuting
Feng Li said angrily: "He has been flirting with Ling Jing, the chief minister of Prince Qi's palace, for more than a month. Wei Xima personally came to inquire, but he refused to say anything. How dare you say that he has not betrayed His Highness?"
"Yes, if you ask me, Wang Gui may have betrayed His Highness a long time ago. He was just afraid of being liquidated by His Highness, so he didn't reveal it for a long time."
Rong Jiusi said it righteously.
Ren Gui frowned and whispered: "Wang Gui is not that stupid!"
Feng Li suddenly stood up and had something to say.
Li Jiancheng took the lead and said, "That's enough, stop arguing."
Feng Li snorted before slowly sitting down.
Li Jiancheng looked at Dou Guailui: "What does uncle think of this matter?"
Dou Gui stroked his gray beard and said thoughtfully: "No matter whether Wang Gui has betrayed His Highness or not, we cannot recruit Wang Gui.
Everyone who is doing it knows how big what we are planning is.
So there must be no accidents."
Li Jiancheng nodded with deep understanding and gave Ren Gui a special look.
Ren Gui wanted to get up and yelled, "It's not enough to make a fool of yourself."
But he knew very well that if what Li Jiancheng planned tonight came to pass, Li Jiancheng would have the final say in the future of the Tang Dynasty, and he could not bring trouble to his family members.
In Ren Gui's view, Li Jiancheng was already weaker than Li Shimin, so he should try every means to weaken Li Shimin and try to win over everyone he could, rather than pushing talents away.
Only in this way can Li Shimin be suppressed.
This way you won’t take risks out of desperation.
But Li Jiancheng would rather take risks than listen to him.
He really didn't know how to stay under Li Jiancheng.
Li Jiancheng didn't care about Ren Gui's thoughts. Even if he did, he wouldn't bother to ask now.
Li Jiancheng looked around at his confidants and said, "Let's discuss tonight's plan again."
Dou Gui nodded, "The drinks have been prepared. As long as the Crown Princess can persuade King Qin to drink the drinks we have prepared, our plan will be complete."
Feng Li also followed suit: "The sword and axe-hands are also ready."
Speaking of this, he looked specifically at Li Shou and said, "With the help of a good soldier from Youzhou, one can defeat a hundred. If the King of Qin sees through our plan and refuses to drink the wine offered by the Queen, I will lead A group of swordsmen and axemen swarm forward, and they will definitely be able to keep King Qin behind."
Li Jiancheng nodded solemnly, "We must ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Dou Gui, Feng Li and others all raised their hands.
"Here!"
Li Jiancheng gave some more details, and then asked all his confidants to stay on the ship, and no one could get off.
The purpose is to ensure that no news is leaked.
After Li Jiancheng finished talking about the business, Ren Gui found an excuse and walked to the deck.
Standing on the deck of Zhengqi Hunter, facing the biting cold wind, Ren Gui felt as cold as frost in her heart.
"There's not enough money in the plan."
Ren Gui sighed in a low voice filled with melancholy.
"So after this matter is over, where will Mr. Ren plan to go?"
A crisp voice sounded behind Ren Gei.
Ren Gui was startled, turned around suddenly, and saw a seven-foot-tall man standing behind him.
The man is in his twenties, with a resolute face and a tall and straight body.
Ren Guiqian smiled and said: "It turns out he is Qianjin Gong."
The man quickly bowed and said: "How dare Xu claim to be the Duke in front of Mr. Ren?"
Qianjin County Duke Quanxu's attitude was very respectful.
Ren Gui didn't pay too much attention to Quan Xu's attitude. He just smiled and said, "What did you mean by what you just said?"
