Chapter 318: Change the direction of history! Determine Ziwei’s throne!
"Yes! Master!"
Even though his senior sister played a big role in solving the case, the little prince was able to help his master for the first time. He happily agreed and trotted away.
Li Yan watched his apprentice leave and pursed his lips slightly.
He had just told Mr. Xie that some things had passed away and there was no need to dwell too much on them.
But some things don't work...
I hope I'm just overthinking it.
After standing there for a moment, he put aside his distracting thoughts, returned to Li Mansion, and headed to the martial arts training ground.
Continue to tap into your body’s potential and open up your body awareness.
It is basically certain that the masters of Yang Zaiwei and Jin Zhizhao have opened the sixth consciousness of consciousness only.
The first five consciousnesses are the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body of the human body.
When we reach the sixth consciousness, it involves the consciousness of apperception such as imagining and thinking.
When arresting Yang Zaiwei, Li Yan once had that brief wonderful experience, but unfortunately it was fleeting and he could never feel it again.
If the enemy is a strong person who has steadily opened the sixth consciousness, he will not dare to slack off at all.
But just after entering the front yard, Li Yan suddenly stopped and turned in one direction: "Chongyan?"
Ming Chongyan walked out of the shadows and exclaimed: "Liu Lang! Your martial arts are getting more and more amazing!"
Li Yan's expression became serious: "Did something happen to you when you came to Luoyang now?"
Ming Chongyan said seriously: "The saint asked us to come and assist His Highness King Yong."
Li Yan's face darkened: "Prince Yong...your highness?"
Ming Chongyan nodded: "The edict will arrive tomorrow. In recognition of His Royal Highness King Yong's behavior when hundreds of officials asked for punishment, he was awarded the title of Governor of Liangzhou, Mu of Yongzhou, General of the Right Guards, and a thousand households were granted a real title. There were many promotions in the palace.
"
Li Yan frowned: "This clearly shows the decentralization of power with His Highness the Crown Prince. Now that the disaster has not completely subsided, and the current situation has just stabilized, can't it be stopped?"
The prince led hundreds of officials to Luoyang, but many officials stayed behind. Among them, the Meihua Internal Guards led by Ming Chongyan were the ones left behind. Obviously Li Zhi did not want this force to supervise the officials to get involved with the prince.
As a result, the saint's health was deteriorating. He no longer had the confidence to control the government in the past, and his paranoia became more serious. In addition, the prince was in power in Luoyang, and he did a very good job. He was able to provide disaster relief and help the people, and he was able to maintain stability among the ministers.
, Li Zhi was obviously panicked, fearing that he would be completely replaced and unknowingly become the Supreme Emperor, so he had to promote King Yong Li Xian to check and balance the Crown Prince.
Ming Chongyan whispered: "The saint's health is getting worse and worse. Although it takes a longer time to wake up, he has no energy. Even taking Wuyun Dan has no effect..."
Li Yan's eyes moved: "When you went to Zichen Palace, did you notice any changes in the palace?"
Ming Chongyan thought about it carefully: "It seems that nothing has changed. It's just that the Anshen Incense is no longer lit, which makes Pindao a little uncomfortable."
Li Yan nodded: "That's right..."
After he returned from Tubo, he noticed something wrong with the aroma in the palace. In the past, he would definitely have solved the case and arrested the culprit. However, the initiator of the disaster in the pass was actually Li Zhi.
The prince had long proposed to bring hundreds of officials to Luoyang for a meal, but Li Zhi vetoed it. Later, the situation became more and more serious. Starvation and death were everywhere in the pass. It was so tragic that even the saint did not want to see it. Where could he buy the medicine for regret?
Since the saint doesn't care about the life and death of the people, don't blame him for not caring about the life and death of the saint. When Empress Wu was tampering with Anshenxiang, he just went with the flow and let the prince supervise the country. His excessive power also caused Empress Wu to shoot himself in the foot.
Empress Wu and Li Zhi are one and the same. A saint has power, and she has power as a queen. If Li Zhi loses power and the prince ascends the throne, with her current prestige, she will be an ordinary harem queen mother.
So Empress Wu took the initiative to stop taking the medicine.
It's just that it's hard to recover from the water. Li Zhi's health is not good to begin with, and after being tortured like this, even if the problematic soothing incense is removed, he will not be able to return to his previous state.
The pair of power maniacs thought about it for a long time, and then used the disgusting check and balance trick to bring up King Yong Li Xian.
Their imperial edict had not yet reached Luoyang, but Ming Chongyan came to report it first, with a worried look on his face: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in poor health, and everyone in the government and the public knows about it, and King Yong is very intelligent and always active. Such a reward from the saint,
I’m afraid the attitude of the ministers will change!”
Li Yandao: "The prince is still the prince after all, the legitimate crown prince of the country. The princess is now more than five months pregnant. As long as the child is a prince, the ministers will have nothing to worry about."
Ming Chongyan became excited: "That's great."
He is also a princeling. At first, he followed Li Yan closely and supported whoever Li Yan supported. Now that he saw that the prince was really going to ascend the throne, he was naturally looking forward to it. He wanted to tear up the edict conferring the title of King Yong, but unfortunately he couldn't tear it up...
Li Yan said: "It's good that you are here, you can help me a lot. Wan'er's mother Rong Niang needs to be rescued, and Shang Gong also needs to be solved."
Ming Chongyan was a little surprised: "With Liu Lang's methods, Shang Gong was able to avoid going to the inner prison?"
Li Yan thought to himself, what do you think of the inner prison, and gave a general account of what happened during this period.
Ming Chongyan suddenly realized: "So many people have been hanged, no wonder..."
Li Yan was a little helpless and said seriously: "The situation in Luoyang is also treacherous. Things are happening one after another. After all, Shang Gong is an old man in the palace and has trained many plum blossom spies. Either she will not be moved or she will be moved."
With a thunderous strike, you must not give it any room to counterattack."
Ming Chongyan nodded: "I understand."
Li Yan's brows moved slightly: "By the way, your monk palace is the deputy leader of the Meihua Internal Guard. Where is the main leader?"
There was awe in Ming Chongyan's expression: "That man is like a dragon, but even a poor man has never seen it."
"Liu Lang should know that the inner guard was the third chief of the cabinet. After Sun Wuji, the former Duke of Zhao, committed suicide, the inner guard was dismissed by the sage. Some were demoted, some were demoted, and some were transferred to outside. However, one cabinet leader was left behind."
"The cabinet leader was responsible for supervising the ministers and letting the former Duke of Zhao speak his mind in the court. The ministers did not dare to say anything wrong about him. After this person stayed, the more covert Meihua Internal Guard was established.
Already."
"Shang Gong is this person's deputy. He is responsible for training criminal girls and training secret spies. There is also another deputy who patrols outside. After that person passed away, Pindao gained His Majesty's trust and added this position to become the deputy cabinet leader. But even if he is
On the day I became the deputy cabinet leader, I had never seen the cabinet leader of the Plum Blossom Internal Guard."
Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly: "The Plum Blossom Internal Guard secretly monitors the ministers, but it's not like he keeps it secret even from insiders. Could it be that this person has a prominent identity on the surface, so he doesn't want to be exposed?"
Ming Chongyan thought of the disgusting treatment of the Meihua inner guards and sighed: "I'm afraid that's exactly what happened."
Seeing that he was in a low mood, Li Yan comforted him: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not like organizations like the Meihua Internal Guard, but I will not blame you. I will give advice to His Highness so that your talents will not be wasted and you can exercise the power of supervision in a fair and just manner."
."
Ming Chongyan was startled: "A fair and honest supervision...isn't that the Yushitai?"
Li Yan smiled: "Yes, is Chongyan willing to be the censor?"
"Of course! Of course I do!"
Ming Chongyan was in high spirits. Censorship was a shortcut to promotion. He was very persistent in his pursuit of official position. How could he not want to? After thinking about it carefully, he felt that this route was very good: "Censorship now sees me as the sworn enemy of Meihua Internal Guard.
If we can really merge it, I guarantee that they will be very willing!"
Li Yan nodded: "Yes, but those criminal female secret agents cannot be retained. Such behavior is too cruel."
Ming Chongyan bowed his head and said: "Please rest assured, Liulang, Pindao will definitely eradicate Shang Gong!"
Li Yan knew that this person's enthusiasm for work was completely ignited, and asked again: "You are the literature of Prince Ji's Palace. Prince Ji is still young. How much do you know about King Yong and King Zhou?"
Ming Chongyan's evaluation was very direct: "The king of Zhou was mediocre in talent and a little narrow-minded, but King Yong was outstanding in talent, had a flying personality, and could win people's hearts."
He lowered his voice slightly and said: "Liu Lang, do we want to strike first and deal with King Yong?"
Li Yan fell silent.
Li Xian, King Yong, was the Prince Zhang Huai in history. Li Yan still had a very good impression of this person.
Of Wu Zetian's four sons, except for the third son Li Xian who was really incompetent, the eldest son Li Hong, the second son Li Xian, and the youngest son Li Dan all had their own outstanding advantages, and their respective experiences were also depressing.
But now that Li Hong has not passed away, the pressure on his parents is shouldered by the prince. The three younger brothers and one younger sister all respect and have deep feelings for this elder brother.
As a result, the couple in the Zichen Palace wanted to lead their son to the most ruthless emperor's family and instigate the brothers to fight among themselves. They were really in vain as parents!
Li Yan thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Let's not attack King Yong. Once brothers fight, there will be no real winner."
Ming Chongyan said solemnly: "I'm afraid that if we don't move, King Yong will take the initiative to fight with His Highness the Crown Prince for power, and then we will miss the opportunity..."
Li Yan thought for a moment and said, "Do you know Wang Bo, the editor of Prince Yong's Mansion?"
Ming Chongyan recalled: "I heard that this is a great talent, but because he wrote an article, he was disliked by the saint?"
Li Yandao: "Wang Bo wrote "Call to the King of King Chicken". It was originally a joke. When the saint learned about it, he was furious and thought that this would instigate a fight between the two kings. He dismissed his official position and expelled him from Chang'an. This shows that the saint is a hope.
Brotherly and friendly.”
Ming Chongyan showed disdain. This was clearly saying one thing and doing another, and Wang Bo was quite unjust.
Li Yan continued: "Sages have been teaching brotherly love for many years. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really kind to his younger brothers. I also prefer King Yong as a man of true temperament. In this case, why do you need to be forceful and force him to do so?"
What about brothers turning against each other?"
Ming Chongyan thought for a moment and his eyes lit up: "Pindao understands what Liulang means. Let Pindao handle this matter..."
The two discussed the details again, and Ming Chongyan saluted again, jumped up, and left the Li Mansion.
Li Yan's eyes turned to Chang'an in the west, showing a cold look.
The more the couple acted like this, the more convinced he became.
Right in Luoyang in the sky, within the Ziwei Palace...
