Hearing Li Tuo's murderous words, Yi Pei suddenly looked a little hesitant!
"Is this...is this a bit too much? After all, Manshun still has a small life left, so Wang Zhong will have to lose his head?"
"Besides, there is no airtight wall in the world, and Guiziliu has many people in his hands. If this secret can be kept for a while, can it be kept secret for a lifetime?"
"If you really let him know that it was me who did it, he won't be able to regain his dignity in the future!"
Li Tuo frowned and slapped his thigh, "My lord, do you care if he can save his face? Are you afraid of getting dirty if you dare to fish in troubled waters? Are you still worried, my lord?"
"Yes, I am just a little worried...Mr. Li, you have always said that you must be the little emperor who wins in the end, but it doesn't look like it to me now!"
Li Tuo lamented, "That's what I'm afraid of, that's what I'm afraid of...I'm afraid that you, Your Highness, will be half-hearted and careless!"
Li Tuo has been doing well in the capital in the past few years. It was a very important move for him to hitch a ride on the Fifth Master's car, and the Fifth Master Yi Pei indeed regarded Li Tuo as his military advisor!
Li Tuo did not hide his secrets and devoted himself to giving advice to Prince Chun. The overall strategy after Emperor Tongzhi returned to Beijing was formulated by Li Tuo!
Li Tuo's plan is complicated but the main line is very clear, which is to use the critical moment of the battle between the two factions in the court to cultivate power from both sides!
Where there is struggle, there will be chaos, and when there is struggle, there will be cliques. Although the Wuye Party is small, it can still be regarded as the number one. After all, it is the blood of Emperor Daoguang, the fifth-ranked Red Prince!
Both sides will definitely win over each other, and the more fierce the fight, the higher the price will be!
In order to make the Wu Ye Party more powerful, they have to add fuel to the flames and make the situation even more chaotic!
Including the previous embarrassing incident of Yi Kuang beating up Cheng Beile and the uncle and nephew competing for the top spot, this is actually a demonstration to show his neutral attitude to the various factions in the capital!
More importantly, he also shows that he is not easy to mess with. This is a very obvious signal!
Of course, the effect was very obvious. Guiziliu watched his son being beaten but he didn't have any temper at all. He would still have to give Fifth Brother a smile when he turned around!
Profiting from struggle is Li Tuo's fundamental strategy, but Li Tuo also understands that no matter how long the struggle is, there will still be a winner in the end!
Although the Wuye Party can use its own small means to prolong the struggle, no matter how long it is, there will be no endless delay. The winner will be determined sooner or later!
So now they have to judge who is the final winner! Only by confirming this point can we make a targeted plan to ensure that we bet on the right person in the end!
Li Tuo's attitude is very clear, that is, Zai Chun, this battle cannot be won by Jaap Six! Yi Pei actually agrees with this judgment!
But the battle situation in Dongnuan Pavilion today made Fifth Master shaken. In the end, the little emperor was beaten to the point where he was unable to fight back. Is this really a talent taught by the evil demon Xiao Letian?
Just looking at Emperor Tongzhi's performance today does not reflect the temperament of a powerful monarch at all. If I, Yi Pei, encounter such pressure, I will directly order the Donghuamen troops to take action.
Bayonets surround the Yangxin Hall, it doesn't matter whether you are Guiziliu, Prince Chun or Prince Qing! Let’s put them all in one spoonful, lock them up first, and then make them leaderless!
As long as the leader is captured, won't Xishan Camp be in disarray?
But Zai Chun didn't do that. It seems that this kid is still relatively soft!
This is the fifth master's opinion, and Li Tuo has already guessed what the prince is thinking!
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty has only been back in Beijing for a few days. You can't change your mind so quickly! You have just lost such a game. Do you think it will be decided in the end?"
"My good prince, don't hesitate, don't change your plans randomly!"
"If you think about it carefully, has Marshal Zeng's attitude changed? Has the attitude of Li Hongzao, Weng Tonghe and other Han ministers changed?"
"Have the foreigners in Dongjiaominxiang given up on Long Live the Lord? Have the head of state Xiao Letian turned against his disciples?"
"The general environment has not changed at all. It is nothing more than six hundred thousand taels of silver and the life and death of an eunuch! Does this small setback declare His Majesty's failure?"
"Don't forget, Long Live Master is still young!"
"Amitabha... Immeasurable Heavenly Lord..." A monk spoke at the same time, "Your Majesty, you must not waver in your original intention! What Master Li said makes sense!"
"The icing on the cake is worse than providing help in times of need! Long live the Lord needs someone to warm his heart right now!"
When Yi Pei saw that all three of his cronies had said this, why did he hesitate? He slapped his thigh and said, "Okay! That's it! I'm going to see my sixth brother right now!"
"When I went to Prince Gong's Mansion, I liked the view of the Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake the most. The family banquet was always held there...I dragged Guiziliu there, and the rest of the job of finding someone was left to you two!"
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Wang Zhong is just an old eunuch in charge. He has never been responsible for the Prince's personal matters such as food, clothing, housing, and transportation!"
"Even if such a eunuch is of high rank, he can only live in the outer palace. It's easy to find!"
Several people worked hard for a quarter of an hour, and Yi Pei immediately summoned people to get ready to change clothes. After a while, a large sedan with eight carriages took the fifth master and rushed towards Shichahai!
They say people have premonitions, and this is true!
Wang Zhong did something unconscionable today, and an inexplicable sense of fear surrounded him. Even if he returned to Prince Gong's palace safely, this feeling would not go away!
Eunuchs are a group of perverted people who are attached to the imperial power. They were born because of the imperial power, and they will eventually be destroyed because of the imperial power!
From the moment they cut off their descendants, they have been abandoned by normal society!
There is no other choice but to merge with the imperial power and become one of you, one of me and one of you!
People like Wang Zhong have been severely brainwashed from the day they entered the palace to be loyal to the emperor. They cannot have any second thoughts!
Most of his life has passed, and this kind of brainwashing has become deeply ingrained and difficult for ordinary people to change, but today he violated his oath and completely betrayed the emperor!
"I have no choice! I have no choice... If I don't work for Prince Gong, I won't be able to survive in this palace..."
Wang Zhong curled up in the quilt like a lunatic, holding in his arms a full two thousand dragon-marked silver coins, which Cheng Beile had just rewarded him!
Money can bring him a sense of security, and quilts can bring a touch of warmth, which makes him feel much better!
"It's okay... the prince will ascend to the throne sooner or later. When the prince becomes the emperor, then I will no longer be a rebel, hahaha... You are right, then I will no longer be a rebel!"
When he was alone in the quilt feeling crazy, suddenly there was a noise outside the window, as if there were many footsteps and voices.
"Who? What happened outside!"
The little eunuch who was guarding the door quickly replied, "As for grandpa, Prince Chun is here outside. The fifth prince has come to have a drink with our prince, and he is laughing noisily!"
"Ah... it's the Fifth Master! That's good, that's good... Monkey boy, bring me another quilt!"
