Chapter 70: scheming
The rumors among the people made Liang Wang's mansion panic, and everyone had a look of worry on their faces. Since they entered Liang Wang's mansion, their fate was tied to Liang Wang's.
Leading Honghaier through the courtyard of the palace, Li Yin felt a silence that was different from the past. His tree hasn't fallen yet! The hozens began to think about going back to Gaolaozhuang just like Zhu Bajie.
Li Yin arrived at the gate of the palace, and the captain at the gate immediately stopped him: "Where is Your Highness going?"
"Tai Chi Palace!" Li Yin is not imprisoned now, and his movements are still free, but wherever he goes, a group of soldiers will follow him, called "protection".
The captain turned around and said to the soldiers on both sides, "Protect Your Highness along the way!"
"Yes!" A heavily armed soldier responded.
Seeing this scene, Li Yin gave a wry smile and didn't take it seriously. They were just following the order, so there was no need to make things difficult for them.
After Li Yin left, Jin Daqian and Gao Accountant looked at each other and shook their heads. Gao Accountant said, "Old Jin, what are your plans?"
"How do we plan? We are His Highness's domestic slaves, so what else can we do? If His Highness conspires against us, none of us will be able to keep our heads. If His Highness is safe and sound, we will be safe!" Jin Daqian said.
The high accountant sighed: "These people really lost their heads. Our Highness is being valued by the emperor, how could he rebel?"
"Your Highness, this is a big tree attracting wind, and you are jealous of others. Think about it, His Highness has been favored by the Emperor in the past few months, and he has made a lot of money. Those princes and ministers are not jealous. It's just that the Emperor protects His Highness. They They didn’t dare to deal with our palace openly, but now that something like this happened, they still won’t let it go, ruined His Highness, and swallowed up the business of our palace!” Jin Daqian thought of the glory of the palace in the past few months, and thought of the present , I can't help feeling sad for a while.
In the palace of Prince Wei, Li Tai was full of spring breeze, walking leisurely by the Chunhua Pool in the courtyard with his hands behind his back. When Li Shimin bestowed this house on Li Tai, he considered that he was good at literature and liked mountains and rivers. The Chunhua Pond is quite large, accounting for almost one-third of the area of the palace. The rockery by the pool is stacked high and low, the path is secluded, and a pebble road goes around the pool. The golden carp was playing happily, just like Li Tai's state of mind at this time.
"Although Jieli's escape is a great disaster for my Tang Dynasty, it gave His Royal Highness a chance to kill three birds with one stone. First of all, the prince. Although this matter has nothing to do with the prince, after all, this person was sent in by the prince. Yes, the people in the Prince's Mansion also had contacts with this Chang family. It cannot be said that he was treasonous, but it is enough to sue him for a crime of negligence, and that Li Yin is now covered in mouths and can't tell clearly. He and that Everyone in Chang'an knows about geisha!" The man who spoke had sword eyebrows and star eyes, a bright mouth, and gently shook his folding fan with the appearance of an outsider, his words could not hide his arrogance.
"Yi Ai's words are right!" Li Tai picked up a stone and threw it at the school of fish in the pond. The school of fish quickly scattered in shock and sank to the bottom of the water. This young man in fine clothes is Fang Xuanling's son Fang Yi. Love, after Du He followed the prince, Fang Yiai was unwilling to be lonely and joined Wei Wang's command. Fang Mou Duan was just a joke in his opinion. He always thought that Du Ruhui was far worse than his father, so he was also like that Du He Secret rivalry.
There is another person on the right side of Li Tai. This person is wearing a red round-neck gown, and his face is like a knife. He is Chai Shao's son Chai Lingwu and Li Tai's cousin. His mother is Princess Pingyangzhao, the daughter of the great ancestor Li Yuan.
Hearing Fang Yiai's words, he said: "Then these three birds must be Li Ke, it's just that Li Ke is thinking of Li Min's brotherhood, but Li Ke's cronies may not think so. When Li Ke ascended to the throne, they also ascended to heaven with chickens and dogs. Now that Li Yin is favored like this, will they feel better? But, aren't we helping Li Ke?"
"No, this is the true meaning of the third bird. If Li Ke's people don't speak up for Li Min, then Li Min and Li Ke will have a rift, and the two brothers will become strangers and enemies from then on!" Fang Yiai shook the paper fan lightly.
Li Tai nodded and said: "Li Yin will not be punished for treason. Although Li Yin is dirty now, the time of the rumors is too close to the time when Xieli escaped. His conspiracy is only possible because after saving Jieli and exposing himself, Chang took advantage of this **** in advance, if it was later, after that Luo Xiaoyi assassinated his father, Li Yin would probably die, what a pity!"
"Your Highness don't need to worry. Although he cannot be killed, it is enough to drive him out of Chang'an. After all, keeping a prince charged with treason in Chang'an will arouse criticism from the whole court. The emperor also has to consider the opinions of the ministers. Opinion!" Fang Yiai said.
At this time in the Shu Palace, Li Ke's situation was the same as Fang Yiai's guess. Faced with Li Ke's request, several ministers who were close to Li Ke chose to remain silent.
"Your Highness, I know that you and Li Yin have a deep friendship, but if it was Li Yin who was unrestrained in the past, I will definitely protect His Highness the Sixth Highness tomorrow, but now Li Yin's ministers can't see through it. Look at his past few months. What you did is better than all the princes, didn't you notice the way the emperor looked at Li Yin? Don't you feel it in your heart?" Cen Wenwen persuaded.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Many people echoed.
"But he is my own brother after all. Can I watch him being attacked by the prince and Li Tai's people? I don't ask you to keep his current glory and wealth. It's just one thing. Recommend him to enter Shu, so that he can neither Threat to me, but also show my brotherhood, okay?" Fang Yiai didn't count, Li Yin and Li Ke had already confided their plans.
"This is possible!" Cen Wen said, away from the center of political power, Li Yin basically faded out of the circle of fighting for the throne.
Li Ke breathed a sigh of relief, but Li Yin never thought of this.
With the soft sound of horseshoes "da da", Li Yin was also in a state of turmoil. In the early Tang Dynasty, Yizhou's economy and culture had begun to flourish. It was because of this potential stock that he turned to Yizhou, but this was only his own idea. Except for Li Ke, he had already contacted all the connections he could use.
But no matter how he prepares, it is only his efforts after all, and the final decision is still in Li Shimin's hands. What he is betting on now is Li Shimin's feelings for his son, because Li Shimin did not kill him because of Li Chengqian's conclusive evidence in the history books, let alone him. Thinking about this pretentious rebellion, he has already arrived at Chengtian Gate, looking at the deep palace gate, he felt a deep chill for the first time, and he was still a little short of playing tricks, he still had to study hard.
