Speaking of business, Jiubian finally became more serious. His smile faded, his posture became more upright, and his eyes seemed to be flashing with light.
During the dragon boat race on the Dragon Boat Festival, someone wanted to ambush and assassinate the emperor, and framed the incident on Li Cheng. As a person from Li Cheng, naturally he couldn't tolerate this.
Jiubian smiled strangely: "I did find out something, but someone can't wait any longer?"
Li Lin raised his eyebrows: "Is it related to the prince of Dong Zhao?! Which one is it?!"
Li Lin looked at his expression and said after a while: "It's the prince."
Jiubian tapped the edge of the desk with the folding fan in his hand and smiled: "Not bad."
"This prince is really interesting." Jiubian said, "If Dongjun dies, this prince will take advantage of the situation and ascend the throne as emperor. If things don't work out, there will naturally be a scapegoat."
"There was a counselor in King Sui's palace who had some relationship with Fisherman. He was a classmate in his early years. Then Fisherman returned to Licheng, and this counselor went to work for King Sui. He once wrote a letter to Fisherman, asking Licheng to help him secretly. King Sui succeeded and made a great promise."
The fisherman is one of Li Lin's counselors, and he is the one who is in charge of leaving the city.
"I'm afraid a letter fell into the hands of the other party as evidence."
The people sent out that day were all dead soldiers, and all the people guarding the water mouth were silenced. There was only a mahogany sign pointing to Li City as evidence.
If at this time, someone said that the counselor was related to the fisherman who left the city, and there were letters as evidence, although it could not be pointed out that it was King Sui who did it at this time, there was still a lot of suspicion. At that time, the emperor would naturally suspect Sui. king.
At this time in Eastern Zhao, the Crown Prince was competing with King Sui. The Crown Prince was the legitimate son and had a distinguished status, while King Sui had Concubine Zhao working for him for twenty years. There was also a Zhao family behind him, and then he married Su Ling as his sidekick. The concubine has obtained the service of two brothers from Pingbaihou Mansion.
Although the Pingbaihou Mansion is in decline, the two brothers are indeed capable. Pingbaihou Pingwei is very capable of leading troops and is already a third-rank general at this time. The second master Pingcheng is good at strategy and is now one of the counselors under King Sui's account.
Besides that, there are quite a few people.
The crown prince only has the orthodox position, but his maternal grandfather's family, the Sun family, has fallen into decline. His mother died young, and now he has not many people to rely on. The most powerful one is the Song family. The Song family has students all over the world and is highly respected by the world.
There are many people who have taken refuge in the prince, but he lacks a strong support - military power.
Otherwise, the prince would not have planned for Su Fu to marry him.
Nowadays, the military power of Dong Zhao is divided into four parts. One is the Ninghe Army currently controlled by Pingyuan Marquis, the second is the Yue Family Army controlled by Zhen Guo Gong, the third is the Imperial City Guards of Prince Zhao's Mansion, and the last is the Army that guards the four borders. There are some remaining garrison troops, scattered and in the hands of some generals.
The prince lacked military power, so he became anxious, so he set up a situation where the evidence could not prove King Sui, but knowing that King Sui was connected with Li Cheng, the emperor would definitely dislike him.
Fortunately, Li Lin was in the Imperial City and directly pointed out that the mahogany sign was fake, so the fisherman was not traced.
However, the prince cut off the tail very cleanly, and King Sui was cautious, so there has been no progress in this case.
That is, Jiubian followed the mahogany sign and found some clues, and finally found the prince.
Jiubian asked: "Master, do you want to inform Dongjun about this?!"
Li Lin took a sip of tea and shook his head: "No need, why bother to interfere in Dong Zhao's own affairs? It's better to know that this matter exists."
Licheng has never cared about the struggle for heirs in other countries. As far as Licheng is concerned, it doesn't matter who comes to power, whether it is the prince or the king of Sui, it has nothing to do with them.
Countries do not want to be enemies with Li Cheng, and Li Cheng does not want to enmity with the emperors of various countries. He stays out of the matter and doesn't care who wins or loses.
Jiubian nodded and agreed.
Li Lin said again: "Order someone to clean up. Miss Six will be here tomorrow."
Jiubian raised his eyebrows slightly: "Sixth Miss is coming over? Master, do you need me to get to know Sixth Miss?!"
Li Lin took a piece of fruit and threw it away, saying disgustedly: "Go far away tomorrow, don't scare Miss Six."
Jiubian took the fruit, chuckled twice, and then said: "Okay, I'll get away, so that the sixth girl won't feel uncomfortable seeing outsiders around."
"As long as you know."
"When will the young master plan to hire someone?!" Jiubian smiled, "Of course there is no rush to hire someone, but it's time to get ready. The young master wants to marry a wife, which is a big deal. I don't know if he wants to leave the city and hire someone in the name of the Li family. , or is it still like this?"
Li Lin was silent for a moment, and then said after a while: "There is no need to leave the city in the name, but what should be there is indispensable. As for how to arrange it, I will think about it in a few days."
"That's fine."
Jiubian then arranged for someone to clean up the yard, so that if Su Wan came tomorrow, he would feel that the place where he lived was unclean and would be unhappy.
After Su Wan returned to the courtyard, she opened the suitcase and took a look. It was filled with all her favorite cakes. Although these things were nothing to a noble lady, it was good that he had such a heart. of.
In her previous life, Su Wan saw many people who said I love you, love you, love you very much, but were unwilling to spend any thought or money on you.
Li Lin still remembered what she liked to eat, and planned the right time to order someone to make it for her. Now it is still warm when she eats it.
She was happy and hesitated for a while. She only gave a few to Xiao Sang and Xiao Bao, and ate the rest by herself. After eating, her stomach was a little full and she couldn't even eat the evening meal.
She didn't know whether it was because she ate too much or because she was hiding something in her heart. She tossed and turned during the night and couldn't sleep. She got up and opened the window and sat at the window to enjoy the cool breeze. She felt a little sick the next morning.
She didn't like people keeping vigil at night, so she was the only one in the sleeping room that night. In the early morning of the next day, when Xiao Sang and Xiao Pei came to help her get up, they noticed that her face was pale.
"Girl, what's going on?!" Xiao Sang was so anxious that he even forgot to call the princess.
Su Wan opened her eyes. She felt light-headed and her head hurt a little. She patted her head and said, "It's okay, I just feel a little cold."
Xiao Fei said anxiously: "Then slave girl, go ask the government doctor to come and take a look."
"Come back." Su Wan hurriedly called her, "No need to go, I'll be fine if I take a rest."
"But the princess..."
"I'm fine. I'll be fine if I take a rest. Besides, I have to go out soon. If I call the doctor, my father will definitely not let me go out."
Su Wan also didn't expect that he would catch a cold after blowing the wind for a while.
She felt deeply that the pampered daughter was weak, and thought that she should exercise well in the future, and not look like she would fall ill at the slightest hint of wind.
Being too delicate is also very bad.
