Four hundred and seventieth chapters turn the tide
When all the officials walked out of the Li Zheng Hall, they all had smiles on their faces and their expressions were extremely relaxed.
The third alternative classics and meanings competition ended perfectly with Li Xianzi's victory. So far, Jingguo had won two of the three literary tests, and also achieved the final victory in the literary test.
The face of the monarch and his ministers has been preserved, and the entire palace has swept away the gloom of the past. Although there will be a martial arts test in a few days, there is no suspense at all. A martial arts competition, a military formation deduction, these are all military commanders
Things that should be worried about, with the tempers of those few people, it would be okay if the Qi people lost, but if they won, there would be no need to go back.
Li Yi, the son of Chang'an County who won two key victories for Jingguo, once again broke into the attention of the courtiers with his unparalleled tyranny.
Needless to say, the last two games are the first one. If His Highness Prince Jin hadn't reminded him, the imperial court would have lost all face long ago. And if we look into it carefully, it was also because of Li Xianzi.
The officials no longer doubted that there were many talented people in Jingguo, why did your majesty only show favor to Li Xianzi? Even if he beat the prince, it was only a heavy thunder and a small punishment. Under the situation of obvious decline, he used his own power to
Trying to turn the tide, who else in the entire Jingguo can do it?
Your Majesty's level of understanding people is still beyond their reach.
If it hadn't been for the King of Shu incident, Li Xianzi's future would have been bright, but it's a pity...
The officials of the King of Shu finally no longer simply hate the Li County Prince. Having such a young talent is a blessing to the country, and they can no longer be viewed with personal likes and dislikes.
"Prime Minister Qin, although His Royal Highness the King of Shu has always had quarrels with Prince Li, those who achieve great things will never stick to trivial details. You must not let small things lead to big losses." Several officials gathered around Prime Minister Qin and said hesitantly.
"I will inform His Highness the King of Shu about this matter." Qin Xiang pondered for a moment and nodded.
After those officials left, a trace of worry appeared on Prime Minister Qin's face.
Is it possible for the King of Shu to ignore past grievances and re-accept Li Xianzi according to his temperament?
And if Mr. Li had even the slightest thought of this in his heart, he would not have done such a thing in the palace that day.
Thinking of certain things, Qin Xiang showed a trace of exhaustion on his face. He did not leave the palace in a hurry. Under the leadership of a eunuch, he walked towards a certain palace.
…
…
The city of Kyoto was already a sea of joy at this time.
The news from the palace had long ago spread that the people of Qi were defeated again. Li Xianzi won two games by himself, completely reversing the defeat and making a beautiful turnaround.
The people in Kyoto were proud and took to the streets one after another, cheering loudly and shouting the name of Chang'an County. The roads were blocked and the government had no choice but to send out officials to clear the way so that cars and horses could pass.
In an extremely luxurious carriage, the third prince of Qi and the old man surnamed Meng sat opposite each other.
"Your Highness, is what Mr. Li said really true?" The old man surnamed Meng raised his head and looked at the young man and asked.
The third prince of Qi sighed helplessly and said: "Although it would be detrimental to the royal family's face to say it, this matter is indeed true, and Li Yi did not talk nonsense."
"How could this be?" The old man surnamed Meng frowned.
The third prince of Qi State shook his head and said: "Mr. Meng also knows that Emperor Wu is the founding emperor of our State of Qi. Starting from Emperor Wu, all the emperors of our State of Qi worked hard to govern, which led to the current situation of the State of Qi. However, Emperor Wu has emerged from the troubled times.
Since he was about to conquer the world, his temper was naturally violent. Wei Jing, the left prime minister at that time, actually wanted to support the Wei family line and let Wei Xianfei ascend to the throne, so he united with several ministers to make false claims that the harem was in chaos, and they remonstrated to abolish the empress.
But Queen Wenjing was virtuous and virtuous, and was deeply loved by Emperor Wu. How could she believe the slander and become furious in court? With Emperor Wu's temperament..."
"There were records about this incident at first. After Emperor Wu's death, in order to protect the royal family's face, Emperor Wenzong destroyed all the records. They are only recorded in the royal secret collection..."
The old man surnamed Meng was stunned for a long time when he heard this. Although he had read a lot of books, he had no access to the royal family's secrets. He originally thought that County Prince Li was just making nonsense to embarrass him. Now it seems that he is worse than he imagined.
He is much more knowledgeable.
However, he is obviously so young. Could it be that he has been studying since he was born?
No longer thinking about this thing that puzzled him, the old man surnamed Meng bowed his head and said: "I am incompetent and have failed to live up to His Highness's trust."
"Master Meng's words are serious..." The third prince of Qi State hurriedly helped him up and said: "This is not Master Meng's fault, it is actually Mr. Li... Alas, if there is such a talented person in our Qi State, there should be
How good is that?"
He raised his head, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, "The Divine Artifact of Heaven's Punishment really shouldn't be in the hands of Jing Guo. If our Qi State can obtain it, the unification of the world will be just around the corner!"
Then, another smile appeared on his face and he said: "However, we have finally gained a lot. I didn't expect that King Shu of Jingguo actually had such a grudge against Li Xianzi. From this point of view, we only need to wait.
That’s it, if we can bring him under control, why worry about the big thing happening?”
Regarding this topic, the old man surnamed Meng did not interrupt. He pondered for a moment and whispered: "I heard that the eldest prince's people have chased Jingguo?"
The third prince of Qi State looked away, sighed, and said: "My royal brother still doesn't trust me after all..."
"The eldest prince has no tolerance for others, how can he hold the throne? This time I return to the country, I will definitely write to your majesty..."
The voices of the two people talking gradually became quieter, and nothing could be heard from a car away.
…
…
When Prime Minister Qin stepped into a certain palace, the King of Shu was lying on the bed, holding a book in his hand and looking at it in trance.
"Does Your Highness feel better?" Qin Xiang walked over and asked.
The King of Shu raised his head and saw the person coming. He immediately put down his book, supported his body with his hands and sat up, saying hurriedly: "Why is Prime Minister Qin here? Sit down quickly. Someone is here to serve tea to Prime Minister Qin."
Prime Minister Qin waved his hand, stood beside the bed, looked at King Shu and said, "Your Highness should know everything that has happened in the palace in recent days, right?"
"How could you not know?" King Shu smiled and said, "If it weren't for his physical illness, I would also like to see what the Qi people's expressions looked like after losing. Thinking of what they did in Kyoto recently and what they are doing today.
At the end, I couldn't help but feel happy."
Prime Minister Qin glanced at him and asked: "Your Highness, do you know that if it weren't for Li Yi, the son of Chang'an County, it would be our Jingguo who lost today..."
The King of Shu sighed and said: "Li Xianzi turned the tide and saved the face of our Jingguo. He is actually the pillar of the country. Although I have some small disputes with him, but in the face of the righteousness of the family and the country, it is nothing."
what……,"
"I am very relieved that Your Highness can think this way..." A trace of appreciation appeared on Qin Xiang's face, he nodded and said: "Your Highness, please take good care of yourself, I will leave first."
Walking outside the palace, Qin Xiang took a deep breath. The changes in King Shu were indeed an unexpected gain for him.
After this incident, although he lost face, it was not without benefits for the King of Shu. At least he had grown up a bit and was somewhat capable of taking on a great role.
Prime Minister Qin walked down the stone steps. Inside the palace, the King of Shu still had a smile on his face, but his right hand was tightly grasping the brocade quilt beside him. The veins on the back of his hand were bulging out, which was extremely scary.
