Li Xun couldn't help but clenched his fists when he heard the prince's words. At this moment, he even considered cutting the prince into pieces.
But he can't take action against the prince now. If he takes action against the prince now, it would be an assassination attempt on the crown prince.
He must calm down and think about countermeasures.
At this moment, Li Xun was very lucky that the idiot Prince told him the news as soon as possible, and he still had a lot of time to reverse the situation.
Li Xun resisted the urge to slap the prince to death and returned to his slightly old palace without saying a word.
He had to start getting ready.
Nowadays, although each of the twelve guards in the capital has an eye, there are only three who can truly act like an arm and a finger.
Although it sounds like only a quarter, it is already quite terrifying to be able to develop and master such terrifying power under the eyes of the emperor in the capital.
However, even with three guards, it is quite difficult to complete the coup. During the day, it is impossible due to the constraints of all parties. At night, even if his men can surround the imperial city, as long as they cannot break through the defense of the imperial city overnight,
For defenses such as city gates and walls, the imperial army outside the city will attack at dawn, and everyone will die by then.
But now things are at a critical moment. If things don't turn around at the last minute, some things have to be done!
At this moment, his confidant Wu Xuan sent him a message. According to the information obtained from Honglu Temple, Xu Qing's name was among the envoys sent by the Chu State to the Zhou State.
, and he came as an envoy.
This gave Li Xun another glimmer of hope.
Brother Xu is so resourceful that he can even win over centuries-old families like the Yang family for him from as far away as the Chu Kingdom. If he combines his wisdom, he may not be able to get there.
Andinghou Mansion
Xu Qing lay on the bed and rocked, holding Su Qian, who was sleeping soundly, and said, "Madam, it's time to get up. The mission is leaving today."
Su Qian pulled Xu Qing's hand away, shrank her head into Xu Qing's arms, and murmured: "Sleep a little longer, I haven't had enough sleep yet..."
Xu Qing couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw Su Qian being so lazy. He hugged her tightly and asked, "How much longer will you sleep?"
Su Qian didn't even bother to open her eyes and said vaguely, "Half an hour..."
Xu Qing calculated the time and said, "Okay, then half an hour."
Su Qian is also tormenting people. After three years of marriage, Xu Qing got to know Su Qian thoroughly. Of course, I am talking about personality traits.
The more Su Qian can do at night, the more lazy she will be in the morning.
From the way Su Qian is still lying in Xu Qing's arms without wanting to get up and just wants to sleep, it can be seen that Su Qian must have been struggling a lot yesterday.
Of course, time passes very quickly when a person is in a dazed state of sleep. Let alone half an hour, it passes in the blink of an eye.
But after an hour passed, Su Qian was still unwilling to let go.
Xu Qing poked Su Qian's face again: "Madam... Ning'er is crying from hunger, why don't you get up?"
When Su Qian heard Xu Qing's words, she reluctantly let go of her arms and slowly got up.
She pulled the quilt and sat up, looked at Xu Qing with sleepy eyes, and then looked around. Her head, which had not yet fully awakened, was thinking hard about where she had thrown her bellyband last night.
…
After Xu Qing and his family had their last meal, they entered the palace. Su Qian also gave him a letter. This was a letter written by Su Qian to Li Mingyue.
Xu Qing didn't open it and read it. It was a secret between a woman and a woman. Moreover, the letter was sealed with wax.
Xu Qing saw this mission in a wide square in the palace.
He is the chief envoy, and Xiao Ye is the deputy envoy. Of course, the chief of the guard for this trip, the captain of the security team, is still Xiao Ye.
Poor Xiao Ye will always have a part-time job as a security captain no matter what position he holds. Judging from Xiao Ye's appearance, he is probably used to it.
Xu Qing actually didn't expect that Xiao Ye would go. He thought Xiao Ye would focus on raising a son at home.
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ye and said in surprise: "Brother Xiao is going too?"
Xiao Ye sighed and said: "I didn't want to go at first, but I have no choice. I'm too busy at home and can easily make others jealous."
Xu Qing patted Xiao Ye on the shoulder and said: "We have sympathy for each other, we have sympathy for each other."
Obviously, Xiao Ye didn't really want to be the deputy envoy this time. He was more interested in making a son than the deputy envoy.
Xu Qing is different from Xiao Ye. Xu Qing does not have the same obsession with his son as Xiao Ye. He has been keen on creating a son since he was a child. Xu Qing is only keen on the process of creation. It doesn't matter whether he has a son or not.
He was deeply influenced by his previous teachers. The result is not the most important, the most important thing is to enjoy the process.
But now the two of them are afraid that they will neither be able to create results nor enjoy the process for several months, because they are about to go to Zhou as ambassadors on behalf of Chu.
This trip to the Kingdom of Zhou had to go all the way north, passing through many mountains. Although Xu Qing encouraged the Jianghu people to suppress bandits, since the Chu State had martial arts, these Jianghu people were obviously more keen to serve the country.
After all, everyone knows how good civil servants are.
The State of Zhou followed the example of the State of Chu and began to conduct military examinations to select talents, and the cause of suppressing bandits also fell into a low ebb. Most of them took time to practice martial arts, and only when they ran out of money did they try to recruit bandits.
In other words, the State of Zhao was not affected and supported the suppression of bandits. Anyway, the State of Zhao had no military achievements.
But it is obvious that the biggest bandit trouble in Zhao State now is King Ming, and all the people in Zhao State are trembling...
Therefore, the current suppression of bandits among the Three Kingdoms has not actually achieved any good results.
Besides, there are endless bandits to kill, and in some places there is even collusion between officials and bandits. This situation is not uncommon. Sometimes the court is powerless and can only catch one and punish each one.
Nowadays, many places in Chu State are still suffering from banditry, but fortunately, these bandits and bandits are also good thieves.
When a caravan encounters a robber, they can just give them some money and pass by.
Even if you go to the village to collect the annual grain, you only go there once a year, and if there are bandits from outside who force you to pay the annual grain, these bandits will not sit idly by and ignore it.
Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, it is about human relationships.
Xiao Ye and Xu Qing have already set off with the envoy, with a thousand shadow guards as their retinue. Not to mention bandits, even the regular army is not afraid of them.
Not long after setting off, Xiao Ye became a little dishonest. He rode on the horse and looked at Xu Qing next to him and asked, "Brother Xu, will we encounter a lot of bandits along the way?"
Xu Qing looked at the map while riding the horse and said, "It looks like this from the route on the map, but brother Xiao, don't worry, no bandit with no eyesight will come to rob us."
Xiao Ye shook his head and said: "Brother Xu misunderstood, I'm not afraid that they will come to rob me."
Xu Qing asked doubtfully: "Then what is Brother Xiao afraid of?"
Xiao Ye said: "I'm afraid they won't come to snatch it."
