After all, Lao Qi is still too young. He has the decisiveness of young people and the patience he has developed over the years, but lacks experience. Many times, the decisions he thinks are brilliant often bring unexpected disasters.
After careful consideration, Emperor Liang finally made up his mind that the throne must not be passed on to Lao Qi, but... there was a workaround.
He pushed open the door of the imperial study room, looked at the group of forbidden soldiers, and Li Yong, who was chatting with Wu Chi not far away, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and immediately waved: "Lao Qi, come here."
Li Yong didn't have the slightest scruple, and went straight to Emperor Liang, bowed and bowed.
"My son, I pay homage to Your Majesty. I wonder how your Majesty's conversation with Qin Taiwei went?"
Emperor Liang pretended not to hear, and just ordered: "I will hold a hunt in the east in half a month. During this period, you will act as the agent of the government."
The Eastern Hunting is a unique activity of the Daliang royal family, usually held once a year. However, since Emperor Liang came to the throne, the Eastern Hunting has been cancelled. After all, it is a waste of people and money, and most importantly, a waste of time.
Restarting Dongshou now is to give Li Yong a chance to see whether he is capable and secure after taking charge of power.
The East Hunt lasted for three months. During these three months, as long as Li Yong captured the Lin family in Jiangnan or severely damaged the Lin family, it would be considered a test.
At that time, Emperor Liang's eastward hunt turned into an eastward migration, and as the Supreme Emperor, he moved to his ancestral land in the East.
Otherwise, Emperor Liang will return to Kyoto and regain his power!
Li Yong's goal was to gain a high position, but looking at Qin Tianhu beside Emperor Liang, Li Yong knew very well that as long as the Qin family was still loyal to Emperor Liang, it would be unrealistic for him to force the emperor to force him into the palace.
Even if he could temporarily control the palace, he would probably be killed by King Qin’s army within a few days.
Although acting in government affairs is far from Li Yong's goal, it is already the best result now.
Moreover, Li Yong also wanted to challenge himself. After so many years of dormancy and accumulation, could he be qualified to be the Emperor of Liang?
"I wish your majesty a successful hunt in the east. I will do my best and die for the beams."
Emperor Liang took a deep look at Li Yong, said nothing, and silently turned around and returned to the imperial study.
Wu Chi also immediately dismissed the imperial army. The confrontation ended temporarily with Li Yong's initial success and Emperor Liang's strategic avoidance.
Qin Tianhu took Zhao Yulong and left, but was stopped by Li Yong not far away.
"Qin Taiwei, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs have been unable to implement the attack on the Lin family in the south of the Yangtze River. Now that I am acting in government affairs and put down the Lin family's traitor party, it must be put on the agenda as soon as possible. From now on, I will have to worry about the Qin family. .”
The implication of Li Yong's words is very obvious. To attack the Lin family, the Qin family must provide personnel. This is a strategy to drive away tigers and swallow wolves.
As everyone knows, this method is simply the remnant of Emperor Liang's tricks.
Qin Tianhu slightly cupped his hands as a salute: "Your Highness, the matter of pacifying the Lin family in the south of the Yangtze River will naturally be decided by the civil and military deliberation of the Manchu Dynasty. Although the veteran is the Minister of the Ministry of War and also serves as the Taiwei, he is only a court official. In matters at home, the veteran has already handed over the power. Your Highness, please discuss this matter with Feng'er."
Hearing this, Li Yong's eyes showed a hint of displeasure: "Why, isn't the Qin family known as loyal? I want the Qin family to make contributions, but Qin Taiwei has pushed back. Isn't it a bit of a double act?"
"Or is it that Taiwei Qin is only loyal to His Majesty and doesn't take me seriously at all? I, the prince who acts as an agent of the government, am worthless in front of Taiwei Qin?"
It must be a high hat!
Qin Tianhu still looked indifferent and unmoved: "Your Highness, you can send a letter to Feng'er. Now, Feng'er is the head of the Qin family. Besides, Qin Feng was canonized as Tianluhou, and he was rewarded with land in the north, and for the help of others, Qin Feng will naturally make the decision on this matter. I am in the northern border and I am afraid I won’t be able to say a word."
Li Yong's eyes were sharp and he said in a deep voice: "Since I am in charge of the power, I can directly abolish this Tianluhou!"
Li Yong is fierce and intends to rely on his power and aura to force Qin Tianhu to surrender. After all, as the regent prince, he has to show the courage of a king!
As everyone knows, from the moment Emperor Liang decided to make Li Yong regent, Qin Tianhu had already expected that Li Yong would change his temperament.
After all, being a prince and being an emperor are completely different things.
Qin Tianhu cupped his hands and said earnestly: "If Your Highness really wants to depose Qin Feng's Tianlu Marquis, just draft an edict. Not to mention Tianlu Marquis, the old minister's position as Taiwei and Shangshu, Your Highness can just depose it if he wants?" "
Having said this, Qin Tianhu stopped talking and left without looking back.
Looking at Qin Tianhu's back, Li Yong's eyes became colder and colder. He had already expected that Qin Tianhu would not give in easily, he just wanted to test how much weight he had in Qin Tianhu's heart.
Facts proved that Qin Tianhu didn't take him seriously at all.
Wu Chi also stared at the direction Qin Tianhu was leaving, and spoke in a very low voice: "Qin Tianhu doesn't know the current affairs, so it's better for His Highness to take back the post of Taiwei and use nepotism."
Upon hearing this, Li Yong couldn't help but snorted: "Whether it is Taiwei or Tianluhou, these two positions are valuable when appointed to the Qin family. If he is deposed, for this palace, it will be passive. As for the Qin family, , do you think they care whether they have these titles and official status?"
"Especially Qin Feng, whether he is Tianlu Hou or not, it cannot change the fact that he is the King of the North."
Wu Chi sighed softly: "If we don't get the support of the Qin family, it may be unrealistic to conquer the Lin family in Jiangnan before the Eastern Hunt is over."
Li Yong didn't answer, just sneered faintly. He was already confident about this matter.
…
A few days later, in Beidi, on the official road to the royal capital, Qin Feng lay comfortably in the carriage, crossed his legs, and casually read the secret report sent by the Jin Yiwei.
"Your Majesty is hunting east, and the Seventh Prince will take charge of the affairs. Haha, it's earlier than I expected."
Ning Hu, who was sitting cross-legged next to him, couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Qin Feng talking to himself: "What? The seventh prince takes charge? This is too sudden."
Qin Feng shrugged and threw the secret report to Ning Hu. Yun Danfeng said lightly: "It's just a matter of one morning and one night. Li Yong is afraid that after he takes the throne, he will become the emperor of Zhou, so he has to cut the knot quickly."
Ning Hu was confused: "Who is Emperor Zhou? I've never heard of him."
Qin Feng grinned and chuckled: "To put it simply, he is the king of a country on the surface, but the princes and kings under him don't take him seriously at all. To put it bluntly, he is a mascot."
Ning Hu probably understood what Qin Feng meant, and while examining the secret report, he murmured: "The royal family has the palace warriors and the imperial army, as well as the east and west camps in the capital, garrison troops, and the Central Plains imperial party. The worst is possible. If you control half of the country, why should you be so arrogant?"
