The prince was the crown prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he formed cliques for personal gain, interfered in military affairs, and had connections with foreign countries.
As long as one of these three things is implemented, it should be abolished. If two things are implemented, it should be banned. If three things are implemented, it should be damned.
Therefore, we cannot say that Li Wanjiang is ruthless and poisonous, but that the prince seeks his own death!
After practicing the tuba, I lost it, so I can only continue to practice the trumpet.
Li Wanjiang's second son, Li Shi, King of Jiangdong, is a biological brother of the same mother as Prince Li Xian. He is twenty-three years old this year. He has been smart and intelligent since he was a child. He is capable of all things, both literary and military.
Unfortunately, when he followed Li Wanjiang on an expedition to Jiangdong when he was nineteen years old, he was ambushed by Han soldiers and was hit by many poisonous arrows. Although he saved his life, his legs were disabled and he could no longer walk upright. Use a wheelchair instead.
Although the Criminal Department and the Work Department he was in charge of were relatively not that important, under his management, they were very orderly and step-by-step, and there had never been any big troubles.
Li Wanjiang's favorite is his youngest son Li Feng, who is only 19 years old this year. He believes that this youngest son is courageous, talented and strategic, and is most similar to him.
It's a pity that he was born as a concubine. Li Feng's mother was just a concubine, and she was from Goguryeo. She died in childbirth when she was giving birth to him. Some people say that she was poisoned to death by the Queen Mother...
Li Feng doesn't like studying, he only likes to lead troops to fight. Even though he is only nineteen years old, he has followed Li Wanjiang to fight everywhere since he was fourteen years old, and has made great achievements.
Coupled with Li Wanjiang's deliberate training, he has now become a general who can stand alone.
So Li Wanjiang asked him to take charge of the most important military department among the six departments.
He also gave him the important task of defending the capital. In theory, the Forbidden Army and the soldiers of the Nine Admirals were under his control.
And his title is called Fengyang King.
He is not in Beijing now. He has led his troops to suppress the rebellion in central Sichuan. He has been away for more than a year. I heard that the war is going well and he will return in triumph soon.
There is another prince in Dazhou who is Li Wanjiang's nephew and the son of his dead brother Li Wanlei, King Yandang Li Yan.
Li Yan was a general like his two uncles. He was not in Beijing at the moment, but was leading his troops to suppress the rebellion in western Yunnan. He was not far away from Li Wanyun and echoed each other from afar.
When Li Wanyun sent troops to Siam, he also sent two thousand elite rattan armor soldiers to help.
Everyone has secretly speculated, if Li Wanjiang deposes the crown prince, which son will he succeed?
Theoretically speaking, Li Shi should succeed to the throne, because Li Shi is the second son, and he is the legitimate son.
But Li Shi's legs were disabled and he could not stand up. Since ancient times, there seems to be no precedent for a cripple to become emperor.
Moreover, he is low-key and indifferent in life, and he seems to have no intention of becoming an emperor.
It can only be Li Feng, but Li Feng is a concubine. If Li Xian and Li Shi both die, then it is absolutely logical for him to succeed, no doubt.
However, while his two brothers were still alive, his succession seemed a bit unfair.
In this feudal society, there is a huge difference between a concubine and a direct descendant. Not to mention the emperor's family, even ordinary wealthy families pay special attention to this, and this concept is deeply rooted.
So even though Li Wanjiang liked this younger son the most, it was not easy for him to succeed him.
He decided to kill Li Xian, probably with the intention of helping Li Feng remove obstacles.
But even if Li Xian died, there was still Li Shi. Could it be that even Li Shi could not be killed?
No matter who becomes the prince, he has nothing to do with Xiao Chen, he doesn't care, and there is no need to get involved in such things.
But this time Li Xian invited him to dinner, found two important people to accompany him, and said so many excessive words in front of him.
But what does it mean?
Especially what Liu Han said was so explicit. He said that Hao Fei was personally transferred by the emperor. What he wanted to imply was self-evident.
Could it be that the prince also suspected that his father had done this?
"Xiao Chen, you have made a great contribution again. I wonder how my father will reward you this time?" The prince changed the subject.
"Serving the emperor is what a villain should do, but I don't dare to take credit and receive rewards." Xiao Chen said hurriedly.
"Your West Factory is really capable! Jin Yiwei and his gang searched for so long but still couldn't find anything. Your West Factory only took two days to find out. I see that none of the departments inside and outside the palace can compare with you." West Factory." Liu Han's words always felt thorny.
"Xiao Chen, let me help you figure it out. While talking and laughing at the Lantern Festival, you completely defeated Wanyan Pingqiu and won five cities for us in the Great Zhou Dynasty. If you reward your merits, you should be rewarded. I will appoint you as the Supervisor of Ceremonies." The prince started to discuss Xiao Chen's merits with his fingers.
"You found out the real culprit behind the assassination of the Queen, and you were willing to take risks to personally capture a leader of the Tianxuan Society and eliminate their undercover agents in the palace. This achievement is greater than that of the Five Cities! With love and reason, I should also reward you with thousands of taels of gold and the ultimate honor!"
"You led our Dazhou navy at sea, defeated the many with less, defeated Sato Yokoji's fleet, saved Liu Guifei's life, and defended the dignity of Dazhou. This achievement is greater than the previous two, in my opinion , completely worthy of making you a marquis!"
"You single-handedly stabilized Burma and destroyed Siam. Your contribution is greater than the sky. I think it would not be an exaggeration to make you a Duke..."
While counting Xiao Chen's achievements, the prince shook his head and sighed, feeling unfair for him.
Because after Xiao Chen has made so many great contributions, let alone the best title, he has not even sat on the palm of the chief eunuch, and is not even the chief eunuch. At present, he is just a chief eunuch.
"Haha, Prince, haven't you heard that saying? It's called the master who has great achievements but cannot be rewarded." Liu Han said coldly.
"Sigh... It's okay if I don't reward you. I'm afraid there will be something else that I can't bear to say!" The prince frowned with a worried look on his face.
What they said became more and more explicit. Xiao Chen didn't dare to answer it, and he couldn't answer it.
Because he knew what the prince said he couldn't bear to say.
Naturally, the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked, and the bird is gone and the bow is hidden!
"My father sometimes does things that are too intolerant. If I were the emperor, I would definitely reward you in any way! What's wrong with the eunuch? Are eunuchs not human beings?" However, the prince became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke.
"What the Crown Prince said is really good. Who stipulates that eunuchs cannot serve as generals or prime ministers, or be crowned princes? As long as they have outstanding abilities, I think it is not an exaggeration to be crowned a king!" Liu Han said.
"Yeah, that's what I mean. Do you think Xiao Chen's combined contributions are enough to make him a king?" The prince smiled.
Wang Anbang and Liu Han nodded together, enough, enough!
Xiao Chen quickly stood up and bowed, without saying a word, out of fear.
What the hell are you thinking, so you want to win me over?
I even drew such a big piece of cake for my young master.
Make me king?
It's a shame you said it, I believed you idiots!
When I become a master, am I a child?
