Although Cai Jing has been in office for a long time, he still has a lot of influence in the court and should not be underestimated. Wang Fu is very clear about this. Moreover, he and Cai Jing are incompatible with each other. Now he has risen to a height that cannot be raised anymore.
He got everything he dreamed of. Compared with Li Qi, Cai Jing was always his biggest worry. He was very clear about Cai Jing's status in Song Huizong's mind. The two could be said to be both emperor and minister, as well as confidants.
, it is difficult for anyone to replace him. From another perspective, Cai Jing is the inner demon hidden in his heart. He originally advocated joining forces with Liao to attack Jin. One of the reasons was Cai Jing, because he wanted to surpass Cai Jing's countless "
honor".
Today, he has succeeded in regaining Yanyun, which is a great honor! What he has to do now is to consolidate his position and nip all potential threats in the cradle. Cai Jing, Li Qi, and the prince will undoubtedly become
Having identified the target of his attack, in just a few days, he impeached more than ten officials, all of whom were members of Cai Jing and the prince.
Seeing that the power he had worked so hard to establish was about to be destroyed by Wang Fu, how could Cai Jing still sit still?
However, Li Qi, who did not have any power, was lucky enough to escape this disaster. He watched Wang Fu's performance in the court every day. The prouder Wang Fu was, the happier he was. Based on the principle that things must be reversed at the extreme, Wang Fu was undoubtedly doing this.
Dig your own grave.
After the morning session today, Prince Zhao Huan took the lead and walked out of the hall with a scowl on his face and a raging wind blowing from his sleeves. Li Bangyan, Bai Shizhong and others followed him. On the contrary, Wang Fu, who was full of spring breeze,
He walked out chatting and laughing with his group of minions, and the ministers who came out after him were whispering and looking very strange.
Today, Wang Fu is even more powerful and unforgiving. He directly impeaches the prince's close minister, Geng Nanzhong, saying that Geng Nanzhong is ignorant, corrupt and perverts the law, and wants to lead the prince astray.
After Song Huizong heard this, Long Yan was furious. Originally, he wanted to dismiss Geng Nanzhong and investigate. Fortunately, the prince rescued him desperately, so Song Huizong just dismissed Geng Nanzhong from his official position and transferred him to serve as an attendant to King Ding.
Li Qi vaguely remembered this Geng Nazhong. The reason why the Jingkang Incident turned into the disgrace of Jingkang was also due to Geng Nazhong. He would attack the main fighting faction headed by Li Gang and Zhong Shidao at all costs.
, but he succeeded, but the Northern Song Dynasty failed.
The more powerful Wang Fu became, the lonelier Li Qi became, and he walked out alone. Qin Hui, who was standing outside the palace, saw Li Qi coming out and rushed to greet him.
Li Qi winked at him, and then the two of them quickly walked out of the palace.
After leaving the palace gate, Qin Hui's eyes showed fear and he whispered: "Sir, the king is really bullying others. Now even the prince has to stay away from him."
Li Qi smiled and said: "What? Are you afraid?"
Qin Hui shook his head and said: "Xiaguan is afraid. But he is not worried about himself, but about you. Last time Xiaguan was able to save the day, I believe Wang Xiang will not take action against Xiaguan so soon. Moreover, he must have thought that there is no such thing now."
It is necessary. Because he has always believed that he can use the increase in land tax to make your new law go to waste. In this case, why should he bother with the official? As long as you lose, the official will definitely not be spared. "
Li Qi exclaimed: "It's amazing, you can penetrate Wang Fu's mind." After a pause, he asked again: "By the way, why did the prince seem so anxious when Wang Fu impeached Geng Nanzhong? I almost saw the prince just now
No tears were shed."
Qin Hui said: "Actually, Geng Nanzhong has no ability. Since Wang Xiang was promoted to Young Prime Minister, his relationship with the prince has become increasingly bad. He has repeatedly made suggestions to the emperor in order to shake up the East Palace. At that time, the prince's status was already in jeopardy. It can be said that Wang Xiang It had threatened the crown prince's foundation and was about to succeed. At that time, Geng Nanzhong, as the chief official of the East Palace, had no way to deal with it and could only be beaten passively. However, he had a very good relationship with the left prime minister, and at that time the left prime minister was also He had just become favored by the emperor, so Geng Nanzhong took the lead and introduced the left prime minister to the prince. Later, the prince got help from the left prime minister, and the situation became more stable. Geng Nanzhong never left the prince in this time of trouble. If you give up, you will gain the prince’s trust even more.”
Li Qi chuckled: "Dare to be kind is a friend in need is a friend indeed."
After hearing this, Qin Hui looked slightly strange and whispered: "Actually, there are rumors that the relationship between Geng Nazhong and the prince is far from simple. I remember that at the beginning, Wang Fu planned to depose the prince's son, the grandson Zhao Chen, from his official position. The key The character is Geng Nanzhong. It is said that the king threatened him and asked him to secretly draft a memorial to resign from Zhao Chen's official position in the name of the prince. Geng Nanzhong was afraid of the king and actually did so. The emperor also Believing it to be true, he dismissed Zhao Chen from his official position, which caused a lot of commotion at that time."
Li Qi was surprised and said: "This is a naked betrayal. The prince still keeps him by his side and fights to save him today. How is this possible?"
Qin Hui nodded and said: "Many people didn't understand it at the time. From that time on, there were some strange remarks saying that the relationship between the prince and Geng Nanzhong was not an ordinary one."
Li Qi asked in astonishment: "What's the relationship?" He just finished speaking, he reacted, covered his mouth and said: "Could it be that the prince is gay? Oh no." He lowered his voice and said: " Could it be that Geng Nanzhong is the prince’s male favorite?”
Qin Hui nodded and said: "But these are just rumors."
This rumor is absolutely groundless. Geng Nazhong made his son lose his official position. He still kept Geng Nazhong by his side. He must have had a super friendship. Oh my god, the real news is so exciting. I dare you to love me. The future emperor is bisexual. Li Qi broke into a cold sweat and showed an evil smile.
Seeing that Li Qi was still smiling, Qin Hui was speechless and said: "Sir, now that the king is clearly trying to eradicate dissidents, I'm afraid we are not much better than the prince."
Li Qidao: "What do you mean?"
Qin Hui said harshly: "Unite with the East Palace and fight against the Prime Minister together."
"You already said this last time." Li Qi smiled slightly and said: "Xiao Qin, we can't just care about our immediate interests. Think about it, if Wang Fu steps down now, who is most likely to succeed him? His seat."
Qin Hui was stunned and said: "It seems that the British Duke and the Left Prime Minister are the most likely. No, no, the British Duke is more likely."
Li Qi smiled and said: "In that case, we will be even worse. Cai You and the prince have no big hatred. They even have a good relationship. He and the prince are father and son. His only enemies are us. He will definitely concentrate his firepower by then. For us, if this is the case, then I would rather Wang Fu continue to sit in this seat."
Qin Hui frowned a few times and sighed feebly. "Then what should we do now?"
Li Qidao: "Let's wait and see. This matter must be done cautiously and cautiously. If you do it rashly, you will only end up in a cocoon."
Qin Hui was stunned, and suddenly he breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he had thought that Li Qi had other plans. After hearing what he said, he was more sure of his idea, but if Li Qi didn't say anything, he couldn't continue to ask.
, we can only wait patiently to see how Li Qi can stage a big counterattack in this desperate situation.
After separating from Qin Hui, Li Qi suddenly changed his route and went to the western suburbs manor.
Arriving at the manor, Li Qi did not go to Yelu Guxu or his room, but went to a relatively remote small courtyard on the east side. At this time, the gate of the courtyard was closed tightly, and there were two guards at the front door.
guard.
Everyone in the manor knows that this is a restricted area.
"Being in a humble position and joining Bu Shuai."
Li Qi hummed and said, "Open the door."
"yes."
A guard immediately opened the door.
After Li Qi walked in, he closed the door again.
The courtyard is very spacious, and there are many props placed on the open space, such as hurdles, single-plank bridges, etc.
Woof woof woof!
Li Qi was greeted by the sound of dogs barking.
"Sir, you are here."
I saw a strong man with a rough face walking over leading a medium-sized wolfdog with a delicate and strong constitution.
Li Qi nodded with a smile, pointed at the wolf dog and asked, "How is Wangcai's training going?"
The man said respectfully: "Wangcai is ready."
"Tell him to stand up and take a look."
The man immediately gestured towards Wangcai, who immediately stood up and stuck out his long tongue.
"Turn over."
The man made another gesture, and Wangcai immediately rolled on the ground.
"Tell him to get lost."
The man pointed towards the iron cage in the upper right corner and shouted: "Go back!"
Wangcai quickly returned to his home without hesitation.
Li Qi smiled with satisfaction, walked to a wooden cabinet on the left, and took out a Ju from it.
After Wangcai saw him, he suddenly shouted.
Li Qi smiled and kicked Ju away. Almost at the same time, Wangcai rushed out. Soon, it bit Ju and returned to the man. He placed Ju at the man's feet and barked.
.
The man immediately took out a piece of dried meat and threw it to it.
Li Qi smiled, said nothing, and walked into the house. After a moment, he came out with half a silk scarf in his hand and handed it to the man. The latter took the scarf and put it in front of Wangcai's nose.
.
Wangcai sniffed hard, walked around Li Qi a few times, then lowered his head and walked slowly towards the house. After a while, Wangcai ran out of the house, with half a piece of silk in his mouth.
towel.
Li Qi nodded with satisfaction and said, "You did a very good job."
The man nodded and said, "The villain is just following the instructions of the adults."
Li Qi smiled and said: "The right way is to maintain an army for a thousand days and use it for a while. Now is the time. However, this mission is very dangerous. Once the secret is exposed, your life may be at risk."
The man said: "If it hadn't been for the kindness of the adults to take him in, the little man might have starved to death on the road. It is the little man's honor to go through fire and water for the adults."
Li Qi smiled and said: "That's not that serious. As long as you don't make mistakes, it won't be a big deal. Okay, tonight, I will send someone to take you and Wangcai to where you live. Remember, once you leave
Without this door, there will be no relationship between the two of us."
"Yes. The villain has remembered it."
"Okay then, go and get ready."
"yes."
"Wait a minute. It's been two months. You probably haven't forgotten what Wang Yanei looks like."
