Li Yu woke up quietly in the small building at Zhengmen Gate.
He was lying on his bed, with Da Qiao sitting beside the bed and Xiao Jinlian standing beside him.
He stretched and said with a smile: "I'm exhausted and exhausted. Where's Fu Jin?"
With tears in his eyes, Da Qiao said with a smile: "I told them that you are a little pea that cannot be killed. No matter what you become, as long as you have a breath, you can wake up."
Zhang Sanfeng in the outer room heard the commotion, stepped in, and said with a smile: "Master, Emperor Maode was picked up by the ministers."
Li Yu frowned, lifted the quilt and sat up.
"How long have I been sleeping? How is the situation outside?"
Da Qiao helped him put on a Taoist robe and said softly: "It's been a long time."
Li Yu stood up, this time he was really tired.
Using heaven and earth as a furnace, using human beings as elixirs, and inducing catastrophes as fire is really too much fun.
If it weren't for the five-section staff and the five-element flag, two heaven-defying magic weapons, he would probably be chopped into black charcoal by thunder.
While using the secret technique on the jade biscuit to help Fu Jin and Bu Tian Greed Stone merge, he also used kung fu to heal himself, controlled the fire, and observed the surroundings.
Zhang Sanfeng didn't know either, and Xiao Qiao, Qiong Ying and others in the outer room certainly didn't know either.
"Go and ask quickly." Li Yu urged.
This time is the most critical moment. As the planner of Fu Jin's ascension to the throne, I can't waste a second.
Xiao Jinlian responded and was about to go out. There was a breeze at the railing and Lin Lingsu flew in.
He saw Li Yu at a glance. He didn't have time to say hello and said directly, "The emperor has passed away."
Li Yu's face flushed and he became nervous, "Who did this!"
Zhao Ji died at the wrong time. In Li Yu's plan, Zhao Ji needed to be buffered.
Li Yu glanced sideways at Lin Lingsu. The two of them had a perfect understanding. Lao Lin immediately shook his head gently, indicating that he was not the one who made the move.
Killing a human emperor is unbearable for a monk.
The end of a top monk is a catastrophe. If he kills a human emperor and is implicated in endless karma, it will be many times more difficult to overcome the tribulation.
No matter how great the benefits are in the world, they are not worth doing it themselves.
When he shook his head, Li Yu believed it, but he became even more confused.
Anyone who can kill the emperor in the palace must be no ordinary person.
The guards around the emperor were far beyond what people could imagine. The Song Dynasty was a big country and the royal family had its own power.
Who else has the motive to kill the king?
The first person Li Yu ranked was Cai Jing. Like himself, he was the least likely to kill the king.
Conspirators know conspirators best, and Zhao Ji has the same effect on them.
After the death of Zhao Ji, the Song Dynasty was now leaderless, but it was facing difficulties in diplomacy and internal affairs.
If we cannot establish a new king who can convince the public in time, suppress the rebellion in Jiangnan Road, and then drive out the powerful enemies in the north, then it is not impossible for the Song Dynasty to repeat the story of the Old Han Dynasty and fall apart.
"Where's Fujin?"
"She is in the palace, keeping vigil for Zhao Ji."
Li Yu narrowed his eyes and asked, "Where is Cai Jing?"
Lin Lingsu lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "Do you know who Cai Jing is colluding with?"
"White Lotus Sect, Yulingtang." Li Yu blurted out.
Lin Lingsu was startled for a moment, then became a little angry, "You already knew this, why didn't you tell me!"
Li Yu smiled and said: "I have an internal agent, but the less people know about it, the safer the internal agent is and the more information he can get for me. If necessary, I will discuss it with the palace master."
After Lin Lingsu lost her temper, she thought about it carefully and found that this was indeed the truth.
Even if he told himself earlier, it would be of no use.
After Li Yu came back from Chang'an, he was planning this matter from beginning to end. He just had to help out at the critical moment. Anyway, everyone has the same goal at the moment.
"Where is the prince?" Li Yu continued to ask.
"The prince has not succeeded to the throne. He heard that His Majesty passed away. He fainted several times and refused to ascend the throne." Lin Lingsu said: "I used to think that the prince was mediocre, but I didn't expect that filial piety was commendable. When I came, the ministers still
While admonishing me, he vomited blood and fainted."
Li Yu sneered, was he filial?
He was afraid that the Privets would invade. As the emperor, he would be their primary target and it would be difficult to escape.
After all, the bad reputation of privet had spread, and Bianliang City was besieged within a few days. Everyone knew about the mountains of corpses and seas of blood outside.
Although Zhao Fujin temporarily defended Bianliang, not many of the Ligustrum people died, and they fled around Bianliang.
As long as we raise the banner and regroup the troops, we will soon be able to make a comeback.
Zhao Ji is dead. If he had not died, he would have abdicated and let Zhao Qin take over.
Li Yu's heart moved and he said: "Zhao Qingen is a Miaohong. If he succeeds to the throne, it will be justified and there will be no controversy at all. This is not possible. No matter how orthodox he is now, it will be difficult for him to become the Zen leader in the future."
"What do you think?"
Li Yu pinched his chin and said: "The Ninth Prince Zhao Gou is the son of a servant. He is timid and his uncle's family has no foundation. We help him become the emperor so that it will be convenient for him when the time comes."
Zhao Ji's first few princes were all born to noble concubines, but Zhao Gou's mother, Wei Shi, was born in poverty.
He once followed his sister to serve at the home of Su Song, the prime minister in Danyang. When Wei was sleeping, Wei Shi was considered to be a noble person because of his incessant enuresis, so Su Song sent him to the capital to live in a Taoist temple.
During the Yuanfu period, Zhezong selected women and distributed them to the kings. After being introduced by the military attache Li Congyue, Wei entered the palace of Duan Wang Zhao Ji.
Zhao Gou's mother-in-law was from a low background and was easy to control, and Li Yu felt that this guy would not be a tough guy.
When the time comes to scare him, he will be in Zen position. The most important thing is to suppress Cai Jing to death during this period.
And how to help Zhao Gou come to power is also a problem. After all, his place of origin means that it is difficult to rise to power——
Cai Mansion, study room.
"I didn't expect the prince to be so timid that he didn't dare to ascend the throne." Chen Xian said loudly.
"How can a country's crown prince be so irresponsible? It would be better if he did not become emperor."
"What Mr. Yun said is absolutely true."
Everyone was criticizing the prince, but no one had any ideas.
Because among this group of people, they have one thing in common, which is obedience.
All major events are decided by Cai Jing. It is precisely because of this characteristic that everyone can sit in the position of high-ranking officials and replace all the talented people.
Cai Jing coughed lightly, and everyone looked at him, waiting for him to come up with an idea.
"Ninth Prince Zhao Gou, what do you think?"
Now that Cai Jing spoke, the officials began to praise him, but in fact they didn't know Zhao Gou at all.
Cai Jing chuckled, "Donggong is cowardly. At this time of national crisis, someone who can take on the responsibility must come forward to lead the Song Dynasty and restore the country."
