Thinking about Xiang Tiange's words, Xia Shang was a little disappointed, but he didn't quite believe it. When he pulled his thoughts away from his memories, the group of people had already gone away.
There was still business to do now, so Feng Qi came up and whispered: "Sir, Suzhou Mansion is just ahead."
Xia Shang nodded, gathered his thoughts, got back on his horse, and continued moving forward.
At this time, Li Xiangyang had already understood the basic situation in Suzhou Mansion. The black robe's inquiries did not make things easier, but made this person even more mysterious. I thought that Fairy Shuiyue would take action, but she didn't.
Thinking of Fairy Shuiyue's attitude as if nothing happened. This is completely different from Fairy Shuiyue's past behavior.
This is what makes people confused, why does Shuiyue Fairy have such an attitude?
The simplest answer is because the other party has something that even Fairy Shuiyue is afraid of.
But what is Fairy Shuiyue afraid of? What is there in this world that the Grand Master is afraid of?
Unless, this person has stronger strength.
But is this possible? A young man who is no more than twenty years old has the strength of a grandmaster?
Li Xiangyang couldn't believe it. This made him very dissatisfied with the black robe. He lowered his voice and asked him to leave first.
In the small garden, the black robe was gone, and the colorful clothes were gone. Li Xiangyang looked at the snowy sky with some hesitation.
The struggle for imperial power is a game that does not allow for mistakes. If you make one mistake, you will never be able to look back. And the Metropolitan Procuratorate is an important weight related to the ownership of imperial power. Although the Metropolitan Procuratorate is no longer the glory of the past, in the capital
There are too many legends about the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and there are many people who thought they worked for the Metropolitan Procuratorate. This is a hidden force, and whether it can control the Metropolitan Procuratorate is very important to Li Xiangyang.
The current situation in the capital has become very clear. Before he received the title of crown prince, the one with the highest voice was still the eldest prince Li Xin. Li Xin held military power and achieved many military exploits in his youth. At present, most of the generals in the military camps of all parties
They are all Li Xin's former comrades-in-arms, and the current general is Li Xin's master. Moreover, the current eldest prince controls all parties in the capital. He alone controls the city defense, palace defense, patrol and other forces. The major families in the capital are also under his control.
They are all his supporters.
In terms of situation alone, Li Xiangyang is incomparable to his brother.
But Li Xiangyang is very smart. His advantage is that he has taken a completely different path from his brother, and has successfully created an image of a scholar in the capital who is close to the people, knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Compared with Li Xin's irritability and dictatorship, Li Xiangyang
His temperament was more popular with the emperor.
Li Xiangyang was recognized by the emperor, and Li Xin took control of the overall situation. It can be said that the two of them reached a balance in a short period of time. Some people may even think that when Li Xiangyang becomes the prince, Li Xin will fall into the unfavorable side.
But Li Xiangyang understood better than the average person that without mastery of real power, even if he became emperor, he might be driven out of power. He could not obtain military power because the eldest prince's voice in the military was too high, and Li Xiangyang could not fight for it even if he wanted to.
Therefore, Li Xiangyang could not spare any forces other than the army, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate became the first target.
However, wanting to control the Metropolitan Procuratorate is not as simple as imagined. In the past few years, Li Xiangyang has tried various methods, but all ended in failure. There is always some dissatisfaction in this seemingly ruined organization.
The stubborn stone in discipline is obsessed with tradition and doctrine.
Now there are two opportunities for Li Xiangyang. One is to infiltrate from Bailisi first. He has the first waist card of Bailisi in his hand. He wants to use his own people to build a brand new Bailisi and obtain the knowledge of the other twelve divisions.
Admit it, this is not a difficult thing.
The other is to get acquainted with the newly appointed Chief of the Metropolitan Procuratorate through Baili Si's waist card, hoping to use the power of the Chief of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to get the Metropolitan Procuratorate to join his subordinates. But the risk is that it is not clear whether the Chief of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is willing to cooperate.
Could it be that he is like other people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, a stubborn person who refuses to get into anything?
Of course, Heipao also suggested killing this person directly and seizing the first waist card of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. But the consequence of doing so is that everything secretly planned may be exposed. This risk is too great, and Li Xiangyang cannot make this determination.
Previously, he was temporarily moved by Hei Pao's suggestion, but now he suddenly realized that he had made a mistake in this matter.
He cannot be influenced by Heipao's thinking. This person is not as loyal as he imagined. What he wants is not exactly the same as what Li Xiangyang wants. When working with such a person, he cannot relax for a moment.
After thinking for a long time, someone came from outside to report: "Your Highness, the person you are waiting for has arrived."
Li Xiangyang frowned slightly. He felt that it was time for him to make the right decision: "Take them to the side hall to wait. I will be there later."
The servants left in response.
Li Xiangyang walked around in the small garden for a while, then turned around and entered a room in the small garden.
The room was dark, with two rooms inside and one outside. Li Xiangyang clapped his hands in the room, and a woman came out of the back room.
"Follow me to welcome the distinguished guests."
The woman responded: "Yes."
…
Xia Shang and Feng arrived at Suzhou Mansion and were led to sit down in a side hall.
The servants brought good tea, the brazier was lit in the house, the doors and windows were closed, and it was warm.
They thought there was no one in the house. Xia Shang and Feng Qi had just relaxed when they heard a voice coming from inside the house: "Are all the people in the procuratorate so weird?"
There is also an inner room in the side hall, and a woman walks out from the inner room. She is sitting at a bright table, and her appearance is also charming. She is young and has a ghostly evil aura, which is really different.
Xia Shang remembered her. When he returned to Suzhou City from the Lianyun Mountains, he took this woman's carriage. Finally, he gave her a small toy.
At first, I felt that this woman's identity was extraordinary, and now she is with the second prince. Could she be a certain princess?
Feng Qi's actions confirmed Xia Shang's suspicion, and he bowed respectfully: "See Princess Nishang."
"Are you Feng Qi? I saw you in the capital. They all said that you are a mangy dog who laughs when his beard is shaved. You can't be molded by molten iron. What do you mean?"
Feng Qi smiled and remained silent.
Nishang walked up to the two of them and stared at their masks. She was still holding the pocket dark crossbow that Xia Shang gave her.
"Feng Qi, take off the mask. I don't want to see such a monster."
Feng Qi wanted to take off the mask, but Xia Shang raised his hand to stop him: "It's a routine matter for the Metropolitan Procuratorate and you are not allowed to show your true face."
"Who are you?" Nishang frowned, "Are you the rumored new head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"
"Exactly."
"In that case, why don't you be polite when you see me?"
"The head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate only takes orders from the Emperor. He is not under the control of imperial officials. He does not respect etiquette and law, regardless of his superiority or inferiority." (To be continued)
