The bright moon hangs high.
Abandoned haunted house, in a secret room.
In a completely dark secret room, there was no light. In front of the long table, a man dressed in black and wearing a black mask sat in his seat. Neither of them knew the other's identity.
The only person everyone knew was that the person on the main seat was the third son of the Li family.
In order not to reveal their identity, everyone, like the Li family, calls him the Young Master.
In the darkness, everyone looked at the figure with white hair and a black mask on the main seat, and felt a lot of emotions in their hearts.
I vaguely remember that when the young master came to them, he was still so sharp and stunning.
At the main seat, Li Ziye noticed everyone's gaze. He reached out and took off the mask on his face and put it on the table. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone. I'm just physically disabled, but I can still enjoy an ordinary life. It doesn't affect our ability to continue. Plan to come down.”
After everyone heard the young master's words, their worries were somewhat relieved.
When you are alive, there is hope.
The Li family is as wealthy as the country, and they might be able to find a way to save themselves.
"Okay, let's get down to business."
Li Ziye looked at everyone present and said calmly, "Everyone should know the method to push His Highness to the throne. The most important prerequisite is that His Highness can lead Dashang to win this national war and win the mass victory during the period of supervising the country. The support of the ministers and the people, this is an opportunity, but also the most difficult test, the Mobei cavalry are fierce, do you have any good suggestions?"
In front of the long table, everyone looked at each other and fell silent.
Fighting is not something they are good at.
Today, those who are best at fighting in Dashang are all fighting bloody battles on the battlefield.
"Young Master."
After a brief silence, an old man spoke up and said, "On the frontline battlefield, the Mobei cavalry are unstoppable, especially the western armies of the Tantai tribe and the Baidi tribe. Even our proud city cannot stop them. Their offensive, now, everyone in the court is in danger, and no one knows how to stop the Mobei Iron Cavalry."
"A city that you are proud of?"
A cold look flashed through Li Ziye's eyes, and he replied, "Have any of you seen our city with your own eyes? It's not an exaggeration to describe it as gold and jade, but it's covered in gold and jade. I can see a few cents of the money that the merchants use to repair the city wall every year. None of them were used for business. Mobei's catapults were able to destroy the city wall easily. Many soldiers did not even react and died under the swords of Mobei's army. In this war, Dashang was beaten so hard. The level of embarrassment is not because of the strength of the Mobei Iron Cavalry, but because of one's own decay."
In front of the long table, everyone was shocked after hearing what the young master said, but no one said a word.
Everyone knew about the corruption of Dashan, but no one thought that it would reach such an extent.
Some people even dared to embezzle money from city defense repairs.
"Of course, it's too late to pursue these matters now."
Li Ziye softened his tone and said, "It is taboo to kill generals in front of the battle. At present, we still need those officials to defend the city for the merchants. Therefore, the city's anti-corruption issue can only wait until the end of the national war and then settle the accounts later. However, Someone still needs to mention this matter in the court, after all, with the current strength of the city, trying to block the Mobei army is nothing more than a dream."
"Let me do it."
At this time, the old man who had spoken before continued to express his position, "I will unite with several veterans and suggest that His Highness the Fourth Prince send envoys to each city to supervise the reinforcement of city defenses."
"Thank you."
Li Ziye thanked him, glanced at everyone, and said seriously, "The national war is not a problem that can be solved in a day or two. We will not discuss it here. There is one thing that is related to whether His Highness the Fourth Prince can smoothly ascend to the throne. I need to discuss this with everyone. The eldest princess, Mu Xizi, is the person in charge of the creation of Hades in the palace. Due to her age, my understanding of the eldest princess is not complete, and I would like to hear your opinions."
"Crazy is more appropriate to describe her."
At the end of the table, a man spoke up and replied, "Twenty years ago, this eldest princess was very good in both mental and martial arts talent. However, the madness in her bones meant that she was not a person with whom we could have a close friendship. I can confirm that she was involved in most of the dirty things in the palace. In many things, Emperor Shang was doing it openly, while she was doing it secretly."
"Is it possible to drive a wedge between her and Emperor Shang?" Li Ziye asked.
"Not feasible."
The man shook his head and replied, "The relationship between her and Emperor Shang is based on interests. There is not much trust, nor is there any suspicion. The alienation will not be of much use."
"Then we can only start from Yu Qingxuan's side." Li Ziye narrowed his eyes slightly and said.
"Why don't you try to instigate rebellion against Yu Qingxuan, young master?"
The man asked in confusion, "If she can be used by the young master, she will be a sharp weapon for us to deal with Mu Xizi."
"There is no point in instigating rebellion by those who waver."
Li Ziye said calmly, "She is already in the Li family and has second thoughts. If I continue to entrust her with important responsibilities, if she still chooses to rebel, it will be a disaster for us. Therefore, for her, we just need to make arrangements around her and let her get along with the eldest princess in the most real way, which will be more conducive to our plan."
"Isn't the young master afraid that she will expose some secrets of the Li family?" the man asked worriedly.
"It's not that far yet."
Li Ziye smiled and said, "Besides, what if it is exposed? The secrets of the Li family have been slowly exposed, haven't they? Many things were secrets in the past, but they may not still be secrets now."
Even the secret of the Commoner King, to be honest, is no longer an absolute secret after solving the eldest prince.
The worst outcome is that the identity of the commoner king is exposed. On the frontline battlefield, the commoner king dies in battle, and then, his body is not found. In the end, there is no evidence to prove the death, and the matter is left unresolved.
Of course, as long as Yu Qingxuan still has some brains, he would not dare to expose this matter.
Wealth and glory must be enjoyed by one's life.
"Young Master, I have a proposal."
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, a young voice rang out from among the seats, saying, "I have some channels to contact the eldest princess, and I can even find opportunities to enter her Zhengyang Palace. If the young master plans to go there, There is some work done on her, and I can help."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Li Ziye narrowed his eyes slightly and responded, "That's great. If we can enter her Zhengyang Palace, we can do more things."
Now, they have more and more cards in their hands.
With the Nine Infant Demon Emperor beside Emperor Shang, the underworld that Mu Xizi was in charge of, and the night ghost created by Concubine Wen, that palace could be said to have touched all the taboos.
I have to say that it is not easy to bring down that old fox.
