At this time, His Majesty the Yan State was already the Prince of Chongming who had left Chang'an.
It is said that this person was once Li Yu's loyal dog licker.
When Li Yu thought about it, Prince Chongming would definitely obey his plans.
By then, with the cooperation of both domestic and foreign parties, there will be no mistakes in Li Hunyuan's succession.
As a tea art master, Li Yu never thought that the men who once surrounded him would hurt him or betray him.
Unfortunately, Li Yu didn't know that the Xiling Temple wanted to control Li Hunyuan, and they also wanted to control the Yan Kingdom through Long Qing.
As for Chongming, who had become King of Yan, under the temptation of power and Xiling, although he was obsessed with Li Yu, he would never follow Li Yu's advice like before in Chang'an City.
Not only Chongming, perhaps Huashanyue of Gushan County, who has always been loyal to Princess Li Yu, also loves not only Li Yu as a person, but also her status as a princess.
After all, if he, the general of Gushan County, takes over the eldest princess Li Yu, who is very influential in the Tang Dynasty, his status will soon improve; if Li Yu's younger brother Li Hunyuan succeeds to the throne, then as Li Yu's powerful general, he
He will also reach the sky in one step and become the general of the Tang Dynasty.
In fact, Ning Que's sigh in the mountains and forests was not wrong. Perhaps the Shanyu of Zuozhang Royal Court might be the only man in the world who truly loved Li Yu and gave everything for her.
With that Shanyu's wisdom and wisdom, how could he be slowly poisoned to death by a woman? The only possibility is that the Shanyu knew that Li Yu wanted to kill him, and even voluntarily died in Li Yu's hands.
······
When Queen Xia Xia learned the news of Xia Hou's death in the palace, she burst into tears and felt very guilty and sad.
Xiahou is her biological brother, and the reason why Xiahou has reached this point is to stabilize his position in the palace. Xia Tian naturally feels guilty that Xiahou has ended up like this.
But she is different from Li Yu. Li Yu has become very paranoid in order to let his younger brother Li Hunyuan succeed to the throne. Could she not know that her younger brother is a dandy? Can she not know that her younger brother will be a coward after he succeeds to the throne? She knows it all.
But he still wanted his younger brother to succeed him.
Queen Xia Tian was even more sober. As early as Shang Yi helped Tang Emperor Li Zhongyi detoxify his body, she knew that now was not the time to compete for the crown prince's position.
After all, because Li Zhongyi was about to die, His Majesty wouldn't think too much about competing for the position of crown prince. But now that the poison in Li Zhongyi's body has been cured, there is no possibility of his premature death.
If we are competing for the crown prince's position at this time, is it possible that we will plan to kill the king in order to inherit the throne later?
In fact, the Emperor of Tang Dynasty was very clear about some things in the palace and court.
He also knew very well what kind of power was behind Li Hunyuan.
This is also the reason why he did not make Li Hunyuan the crown prince.
What's more, what about the little tricks Li Yu did to make Li Hunyuan the crown prince?
He even colluded with the Yan State and betrayed the interests of the Tang State for the sake of the crown prince position.
This made Li Zhongyi extremely disappointed.
······
After all, the power struggle in the Tang Dynasty was a secular matter. The disciples at the back of the academy did not care, and the people in the merchant house did not care about the affairs of the court. As for Ye Su and others, they would not care about it.
Perhaps the Taoists in Xiling will take advantage of Xiahou's death to make some articles and use He Mingchi to sow discord between the ministers and the academy.
But the people behind the academy remained aloof and ignored him.
However, after the Battle of Yanming Lake, Shang Yi took away Xiahou's body, which made some people speculate.
"Is it possible that Xiahou once made a deal with the owner of Shang Building, hoping that he could resurrect him?"
"Is the owner of Shang Building planning to subdue Xiahou by resurrecting him to increase Shanglou's strength at once? At the same time, he will also take over Xiahou's power in the army?"
There are many speculations, but they all have some truth.
After all, everyone wants to live another life; Zhuoer, the registered disciple of Shang Yi, the owner of the Shang Building, took Situ Yilan into the military department for training, and with the ability to know his destiny and go to the border, he was able to lead an army alone and guard the Tang Dynasty border - Weicheng
.
After all, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was his Majesty, and he was well versed in political power.
Weicheng is a battleground for military strategists. If the war begins, then the Prairie Golden Tent Royal Court will definitely send troops to the Tang Dynasty and directly attack Weicheng; and if the whole world is to conquer the Tang Dynasty, then the allied forces will first have to cross the Qingxia Gorge.
Weicheng is not too far from Qingxia, and Zhuoer can come to Qingxia in time to support.
At the same time, Ning Que, the Thirteenth Master of the academy, was also the father and friend of Ma Shixiang, who was the guard of Weicheng. Naturally, Ning Que would not watch the fall of Weicheng, nor would he watch Zhuoer and Shang Lou act mischievously or even rebel in Weicheng.
In this way, the power of the merchant house and the academy formed a check and balance in Weicheng, and the emperor's power was fully demonstrated.
Moreover, Weicheng has become an oasis with the best environment in the frontier under Ye Su's Sword of Warmth in the World, so it is also a good way to show goodwill and win over Drow and Shanglou.
From this we can see that the Tang Emperor, who was always merciful and seemingly cowardly in court, was actually extremely clever in his methods.
A few days later, Shang Yi took a man wrapped in a cloak to the palace to meet the saint.
This was the second time that the owner of Shanglou went to the palace, and with Yan Se’s introduction, Emperor Tang would naturally not refuse.
In the magnificent palace, Shang Yi looked at Li Zhongyi and Xia Tian who were sitting above and did not salute, and Emperor Tang and Emperor Tang would not be unhappy because of this.
After all, Shang Yi saved Li Zhongyi's life. What's more, a strong man who broke through the five realms was detached from the world and naturally did not need to salute the Tang Emperor.
Shang Yi said:
"Your Majesty, General Xiahou made a deal with me before he died. My coming here now is a travel agreement!"
As he spoke, he took a step to the side, revealing the figure behind him.
I saw him slowly lifting his cloak, revealing a familiar face.
"Xiahou?"
Tang Huang's eyes flashed, while Xia Tian's eyes turned red instantly because she did not detect the slightest breath of life in her brother's body.
Emperor Tang slowly opened his mouth and said:
"Lord Shang, what is this?"
Shang Yi said:
"There is something wrong with the Tongtian pill that Xiling gave to Xiahou. Xiahou has a death wish in his heart, so he hopes that I can refine his body into a puppet to protect Queen Xiaxia!"
A hint of understanding flashed in Tang Huang's eyes, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Naturally, he did not want Xiahou to be resurrected. After all, it would not be good if Xiling used Xiahou to do something to shock the Tang Dynasty.
As for the puppet made from Xia Hou's corpse, Li Zhongyi thought that protecting Xia Tian might be redundant, but it could be used to protect Xia Xia and his son. Originally, he had the idea of letting his son inherit the position of prince, with this puppet at the pinnacle of martial arts.
, the son's status will be more stable.
As for Queen Xia Tian, although she was holding back her grief and tears, her eyes were still moist. Even if her brother died, he would turn into a puppet to protect her. This kind of brother-sister love transcended everything.
Tang Emperor Li Zhongyi said with a smile:
"Shang Louzhu, although this is a deal between Xiahou and the original poster, I can't help but express it! The original poster's disciple Zhuoer is guarding the border for the Tang State in Weicheng.
Well, I will order Zhuoer to establish the Tiance Mansion in Weicheng, lead an army alone, and guard the border of the Tang Dynasty. Situ Yilan is the orphan of a general of the Tang Dynasty. A woman is determined to become a female general of the Tang Dynasty, so I will give her a declaration.
The title of General Wei as a sign of encouragement~"
