Prince Li Xiankun has been restless these days.
My father favored the demon monk Hui Yan and believed in the nonsense that the two dragons would not meet each other.
So much so that I haven't seen him for more than a month.
Li Xiankun already had a sense of crisis.
Although he is a prince, he can be said to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
But as long as you don't ascend the throne for a day, there will still be risks after all.
Li Xiankun did not want to lose the throne in a daze.
Although it seems that there is basically no threat to him among the kings, Li Xiankun still feels that he should be more careful.
It is by no means unreasonable to sail with caution.
Just when Li Xiankun felt a little uneasy, news suddenly came from the chamberlain supervisor that Zheng Jie wanted to see him.
Li Xiankun became alert for a moment.
Could it be that his father wanted to test him through Zheng Jie?
No, if that's the case, it shouldn't be so direct. Li Xiankun is not stupid. He had been the prince for so many years, and he knew very well that the prince was not allowed to make friends with powerful officials privately.
If you're not here to test him, what's the point?
Li Xiankun felt a little puzzled.
This thing seems a bit illogical, but combined with recent events, we may be able to see some clues.
Recently, from the outside, Zheng Jie has become much more distant from his father.
Li Xiankun felt that this should not be like a show.
If it was just a joke, it would be too real.
Like Li Xiankun, Zheng Jie probably hasn't entered the palace to meet a saint for a long time.
Emotions are something that must be maintained. If you don't get along for a long time, even the best relationship will have cracks.
Li Xiankun believed that Zheng Jie should be very anxious at this moment.
So this is not what the father meant, but what Zheng Jie meant?
Zheng Jie wants to stabilize his position as chamberlain and supervisor by befriending Dong Gong?
The more Li Xiankun thought about it, the more likely he felt that this was possible.
Zheng Jie, an old fox, usually doesn't show his fox tail easily. He must be willing to do this because he knows that he can't wait any longer.
Eunuchs are different from civil servants and generals.
For foreign ministers to achieve high positions, in addition to their divine favor, their own abilities and background are also crucial.
Ministers who come from aristocratic families and have strong abilities are easily promoted to high positions.
But the eunuch's ability to reach a high position depended on the emperor.
Because to the emperor and the royal family, they are just domestic slaves.
The emperor's words could determine his life or death, as well as his future.
Although Zheng Jie is very strong and a super master, once he loses his holy favor, he is still a phoenix in trouble.
Therefore, it is understandable that he seeks the support of the future emperor-Donggong.
Is it just Li Xiankun who wants to show up?
This was a question he hesitated on.
Although Zheng Jie is in trouble now, his strength is still here.
If Li Xiankun can form an alliance with him, it will be very helpful for his future development.
As long as the two of them join forces, even if the father wants to take action, he will have to think twice.
But one thing is certain, that is, we must not meet too directly. Once someone with an intention to use it to criticize the East Palace is used, it will be a devastating blow to Li Xiankun and even the princelings.
When you are in a high position, you must be vigilant and considerate at all times and never act haphazardly.
A single oversight may result in irreparable losses.
Li Xiankun was very confused and hesitant.
The key is that he doesn't even have anyone to discuss this matter.
There are many counselors in the East Palace, but Li Xiankun can even imagine the faces of these counselors.
They would definitely advise Li Xiankun over and over again to act cautiously and not to make friends with Zheng Jie to avoid being caught and criticized by the kings.
But some things are high-risk and high-return.
In the end, Li Xiankun can only make the decision on this matter.
When Li Xiankun was anxious, he walked around the hall with his hands behind his back.
In his opinion, this is indeed an opportunity. If he seizes it, he may not only be able to stabilize his position as the prince, but also attack the arrogance of the kings.
After all, Zheng Jie has a high and powerful position. If Zheng Jie can openly support the East Palace, the kings should also understand in their hearts.
"That's all, I'll make a bet."
In the end, Li Xiankun decided to make friends with Zheng Jie.
It's dangerous, but as he said, high risk, high reward.
The temptation to gain Zheng Jie as a supporter was too great for Li Xiankun to refuse.
But where should I choose to meet?
This is a very vexing problem.
The East Palace will definitely not work.
Although the East Palace is nominally independent of the Daming Palace, it is actually adjacent to the Daming Palace, even separated by a palace wall.
If something happens in the East Palace, the Daming Palace will definitely react immediately.
It can be said that every move in the East Palace is under the control of the father.
Zheng Jie's mansion?
This is certainly not a wise choice.
In Li Xiankun's view, his father had spies in the residences of important ministers like those in the court. The difference was just in the number of spies.
Sometimes the eyeliner will be in the bright place, and sometimes the eyeliner will be in the dark place.
But there is no doubt that his father's eyes are not lacking in Zheng Jie's mansion.
Since we can't meet in the East Palace, and we can't meet in Zheng Jie's residence, we can only choose a neutral location.
Li Xiankun thought about it and felt that Dongshi was a good choice.
First of all, Dong Palace and Zheng Jie's residence are not too far from Dongshi. It is very suitable to choose Dongshi to meet in terms of distance.
Secondly, there are many people in Dongshi, which can serve as a good cover.
Even if the prince comes to a certain restaurant in Dongshi, the kings will not be able to comment.
After Li Xiankun made up his mind, he immediately ordered someone to meet Zheng Jie.
This matter should be done sooner rather than later. If we meet earlier, the rest of the matter will be much simpler.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has agreed to meet with me."
In Zheng Jie's mansion, the slightly older eunuch sighed.
"I was not willing to come to this step anyway."
Next to him is bad handsome Feng Hao.
Feng Hao comforted Zheng Jie and said: "Mr. Zheng, I can understand your mood. But now, this may be the best choice. Your Majesty favors the traitor and even believes in the monster monk's lies, thinking that the eighth rank of the emperor is equal to the realm of the great master. . If this is the case, then the emperors of the past dynasties can reach the best state in the world with just a little practice. What's the matter with other practitioners?"
Feng Hao thought this was extremely ridiculous, but His Majesty the Emperor still believed it.
For a moment, Feng Hao felt like there was a lump stuck in his throat, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.
So after leaving the palace, Feng Hao met Zheng Jie immediately and explained the matter to Zheng Jie.
"Mr. Zheng, I don't think we should hesitate about this matter. His Majesty obviously doesn't take Jiangshan Sheji to heart, and all he thinks about is cultivation all day long. Let me say a disrespectful thing, he has no cultivation at all. He has the qualifications, but he has to go against nature. If he acts in such a perverse manner, he will be punished by God."
Originally, Feng Hao was very respectful to Emperor Xianlong and would never question Emperor Xianlong on anything.
But now even Feng Hao has to think carefully about whether he should consider supporting a new king.
Although the prince is not a person with outstanding talents, at least he will not be worse than the current majesty after he ascends the throne, right?
In the past, although Emperor Xianlong often did not go to court, he still had a good grasp of government affairs.
But what about now? Emperor Xianlong only wanted to practice cultivation, and he ignored government affairs, and the military and military affairs were in a complete mess.
Feng Hao even doubted that it could be worse?
"This matter is of great importance. We must be cautious. If the matter is exposed, it will be a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan. It doesn't matter that our family is alone, but General Feng"
Zheng Jie didn't say anything more after he said this. Some things are just enough to be mentioned in detail. It would be meaningless to explain them too clearly.
"Well, I understand what Mr. Zheng means. I will definitely be cautious. There is only one chance for this kind of thing. If you use too much force, it will be counterproductive."
After a pause, Feng Hao continued: "Mr. Zheng, how will His Highness the Crown Prince react? This is beyond our plan. What should we do if His Highness the Crown Prince backs down?"
Zheng Jie sneered and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, are you backing out? You are too underestimating our East Palace. Even though His Highness the Crown Prince spends all day eating, fasting and chanting Buddha's name in the East Palace, in fact he is not idle at all. Nearly half of the people in this court are doing so. A princeling, he just doesn’t show it.”
Feng Hao took a deep breath when he heard this.
Good guy, as expected, as a prince, you don’t have a fuel-efficient lamp.
The prince's ability to obtain the throne was inseparable from his personal strategic ability in addition to his birth background.
"So Mr. Zheng, are you sure that the prince will be of the same mind as us?"
"As long as he comes, he has no choice. As soon as he sees us, we will tie him to death. Because in the eyes of the foreign minister, we have taken refuge in the East Palace, and the East Palace has also made friends with powerful officials. Your Majesty will know about this sooner or later."
Zheng Jie sighed and said: "I only hope that the prince can treat your majesty well after he comes to Dabao, and at least ensure that your majesty has a good death."
The royal power struggle has been ruthless since ancient times.
Zheng Jie knows this very well.
It is not uncommon for fathers and sons to kill each other, and for siblings to kill each other.
But after all, Zheng Jie had served Emperor Xianlong for so many years, and he didn't want to see Emperor Xianlong reach this point.
But Zheng Jie had to support the crown prince's ascension, because in Zheng Jie's view, some of Emperor Xianlong's actions had touched the bottom line of a king.
A king can be lazy and negligent in his administration, but he cannot be indiscriminate and cannot fail to distinguish between loyal ministers and traitors.
In other words, a king must be aware of everything and cannot let other officials manipulate him.
Emperor Xianlong really lost himself a little now.
He had completely lost his judgment and was fascinated by Master Huiyan, the monster monk.
Zheng Jie didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup Master Huiyan poured into Emperor Xianlong.
But judging from the current results, Emperor Xianlong has indeed lost his mind.
If it is only for a short period of time, it will be okay, but if it is for a long time, the situation in North Korea will definitely become turbulent.
This is definitely not what Zheng Jie wants to see.
Because of this, the Zhou Dynasty was not far away from overthrowing.
This is by no means sensational.
The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.
Even the king of a country has lost the determination and confidence to govern the government. What will the ministers think? What will the place think?
Zheng Jie only felt that he was under tremendous pressure.
As a chamberlain supervisor, he should naturally shoulder the responsibility of supporting the king.
But Emperor Xianlong didn't listen.
Otherwise, how could Zheng Jie go so far as to support the prince?
This is a helpless choice and the last resort.
But this is his only choice.
"Mr. Zheng, is it too dangerous to meet in Dongshi?"
"It's not dangerous. The East Market is extremely noisy. This is the best cover. The most dangerous place is the safest place. You should understand this truth. No one would have thought that the Prince of the East Palace would be in the East Market with our two important ministers. Meeting."
Zheng Jie's words made Feng Hao nod with satisfaction and said: "In that case, I'm relieved. I will order the bad guys to stand guard outside to prevent anyone from sneaking into the restaurant."
"Don't grab it, don't grab it. I've made various flavors of milk tea. Let's all have a try."
Zhao Xun thought that the milk tea he made would be popular, but he did not expect it to be so popular.
Good guys, brothers and sisters, it’s like opening a brand new door, and it’s out of control.
It seems that Zhao Xun still underestimated the appetite of his senior brothers and sisters. It seems that I will have to make more milk tea next time.
"Junior brother, you must tell me the secret recipe of your milk tea no matter what. This way we can make it ourselves and drink it when you are not around."
"That's right, little junior brother. It's better to teach a man how to fish than to teach him how to fish. Since it's milk tea, it's natural to drink it all at once. You tell us how to do it, so that we can make it ourselves."
"Junior brother, be more generous and stop being so stingy."
"."
Zhao Xun didn't know what to say for a moment.
All that can be said has been said by the senior brothers and sisters. If you think about it carefully, what the senior brothers and sisters said makes sense.
He just chooses to accept it.
It's just that Zhao Xun doesn't plan to release the secret recipe.
He can compromise in other places, but he can't!
"Well, making milk tea is actually not that complicated, but so far I am still trying to cross the river by feeling the stones. So brothers and sisters, don't be anxious. I will definitely try my best to make the milk tea as good as possible. As for the recipe I haven’t settled in yet.”
Of course, Zhao Xun couldn't say that he was unwilling to release the formula, so he could only use this method to prevaricate.
I believe that senior brothers and sisters should be able to understand, right?
"Oh, little junior brother, you are not being kind. We all know that this milk tea is your unique skill. But there is no need for you to guard against us. Didn't you say that we are tired of logging. Since it is As a family, we should share blessings and hardships. Right?"
Third senior brother Long Qingquan rolled his eyes and said, "Tell me, what is the secret recipe of this milk tea?"
"."
Zhao Xun knew that his third senior brother, Long Qingquan, would be the first to jump out, so he could only sigh and said: "To be honest, there is only one secret ingredient for the milk tea I make - with heart."
Zhao Xun was filled with pride when he saw the stunned expressions of his brothers and sisters.
Good guy, I'm even afraid of myself if I get embarrassed!
"Brothers and sisters, have you ever heard of the spirit of craftsmanship, or the spirit of craftsmanship? A carpenter or bricklayer may not be doing very complicated crafts, but they repeat the same process day after day, year after year. They are able to do a craft to the extreme and are responsible for everything they make. This is the spirit of craftsmanship, or the spirit of ingenuity.”
Zhao Xun said seriously: "Not everyone can do this. So I think if you want to make something valuable, your intention is the most important."
hiss.
Zhao Xun could hear the gasps of his brothers and sisters, but he didn't care.
Because at this moment Zhao Xun was completely immersed in his own rhythm.
"Keeping the spirit of craftsmanship, keeping ingenuity, we can make things that satisfy others. The same goes for making milk tea. It seems that this is just an ordinary cup of milk tea. But in fact, it contains too many things. Something. Because my heart is inside. Senior brothers and sisters, can you feel Xiao Qiji’s thoughts? "
Zhao Xun thought to himself that as long as I don't feel embarrassed, then someone else will be the one who is embarrassed.
Do you want me to hand over the secret recipe for milk tea? Don’t even think about it!
"Well"
Sixth senior brother Lu Guangdou was instantly impressed by Zhao Xun.
Although he felt something was wrong, Lu Guangdou felt that what his junior brother said made sense.
"So, I have taught you the secret recipe. Please be careful when making milk tea, because only by working hard can you make good milk tea."
Well.
After an impassioned brainwashing speech, Zhao Xun felt his mouth was dry.
He urgently needs to take a breather now.
You can't drink milk tea for sure. The more you drink it, the thirstier you will become.
In Zhao Xun's opinion, clear spring water is the most suitable.
"Brother Mingyun, Brother Mingyun, I'm coming!"
Zhao Xun was drinking clear spring water when he heard a familiar voice.
Zhao Xun instinctively pricked up his ears to listen.
Hmm. This voice is really familiar.
Um?
It seems to be a great source of wealth!
Yes, it means prosperity.
Zhao Xun made another confirmation, and after judging that it was Wangcai, Zhao Xun rushed out suddenly.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Xun arrived at the door, he saw a little meat ball rushing towards him carrying large and small bags.
Zhao Xun didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said: "Come just come, why do you bring so many things? We two brothers are so familiar, there is no need to be so polite."
Wangcai panted and ran to Zhao Xun, threw the large and small bags on the ground, and then sat down on the ground. After a while, he said: "Brother Mingyun, you are wrong. I am not being polite to you. I’m going to move to Zhongnan Mountain.”
"What, you want to move to Zhongnan Mountain?"
Zhao Xun was surprised for a while.
Little Fatty, are you serious?
"Yes, I am moving to Zhongnan Mountain. Is there any problem with this?"
"Of course there is a problem. If you are not living in Chang'an City, why are you moving to Zhongnan Mountain?"
If it were the past, that would be fine, but now Zhongnan Mountain is packed to the brim.
After being unable to enter Chang'an City, the tribes from the Ellen Lore continent all flocked to Zhongnan Mountain.
At first, Zhao Xun held the attitude of not rejecting anyone who came, but slowly he found that he seemed to be unable to bear it anymore.
So far, only four or five tribes are in contact with the academy, and it is conservatively estimated that half of the tribes have not yet arrived.
If we wait until all the tribes arrive, the scene will be too beautiful to look at.
At this time, the little fat man Wangcai actually wanted to move to Zhongnan Mountain and asked Zhao Xun to say something.
"Don't I miss you? Besides, I have resigned now. I can go wherever I want, and no one can control me."
Wangcai's words shocked Zhao Xun.
"You resigned? Seriously?"
"Of course, you are allowed to resign, but I am not allowed to resign? To tell you the truth, I have figured it out. The most important thing in life is to make yourself happy. I really can't stand being a bad person in the yamen. It’s worth living such a cramped and depressing life. It was okay when you were here, and I could still have someone to chat with, but after you left, I was really lonely.”
"Isn't there also Brother Jia?"
"Brother Jia? Brother Jia is just like a boring gourd. It's not like you don't know."
Wangcai curled his lips and said: "In the past, Brother Jia would still say a few words when you were here, but now that you are gone, Brother Jia has completely stopped talking. I stayed in the bad guys' yamen just like I did in the morgue. It’s the same as staying there, but I’m suffocated to death.”
This metaphor is indeed a symbol of prosperity, it is truly amazing.
"So you chose to resign without hesitation?"
Even so, Zhao Xun still felt that Wangcai's resignation was a bit hasty.
Zhao Xun had no choice. After killing King Wei, it was impossible for Zhao Xun to return to serve in the bad people's yamen. Emperor Xianlong would definitely try every means to kill him.
Zhao Xun cannot commit regicide for the time being, so he can only resign.
But prosperity is different.
Wangcai did not offend the emperor, so his resignation seemed a bit casual and hasty.
But if you think about it carefully, it is actually not bad to make money.
He has such a large family fortune waiting to be inherited, and it seems that he has no problem resigning.
Forget it, Wangcai has already resigned, and there is no point in Zhao Xun thinking about it anymore.
"In that case, then you can stay in the academy with peace of mind."
Although a large number of foreign races have poured into Zhongnan Mountain now. But the space in Haoran Academy is still guaranteed.
Anyway, with Wangcai's mouth, Zhao Xun would never be able to drive Wangcai away.
"By the way, Brother Mingyun, where do I live?"
Wangcai glared at Zhao Xun with a pair of big bling eyes.
"It's okay to live next to me in the bamboo house over there."
Zhao Xun felt helpless towards Wangcai.
Who said they were brothers?
“That’s great, so I can keep pushing.”
Wangcai showed his "true face" so quickly, but it really shocked Zhao Xun.
"Good guy, it turns out you came to the academy to push for a manuscript."
Seeing that he had slipped up, Wangcai quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, I didn't mean that. The reminder was just incidental. Of course, I miss you too much."
Zhao Xun felt as if he was dead at this moment.
Alas, it was hard to live a peaceful life for a few days, but Wangcai came to supervise the whole process and urge the manuscript.
This doesn't make people alive. He originally wanted Xianyu to update for a while, but now it seems that it won't work without an update?
That's all, people are forced out sometimes.
If you don't put pressure on yourself, you will never know how much potential you have.
Zhao Xun repeatedly gave himself psychological hints, hoping to rise again.
He doesn't just have to update, as long as he is put under pressure, he can make a breakthrough!
Of course, what to write next is a question.
Liaozhai is finished, Three Kingdoms is finished, Journey to the West is finished, and Water Margin is finished.
Are you going to write about Red Mansions next?
This kind of love is greasy and crooked, I'm afraid people of this era won't like it.
The martial arts of the Zhou Dynasty were roughly similar to those of the Han and Tang dynasties.
People in the Han and Tang dynasties would not like this kind of romantic love.
Therefore, Zhao Xun can either choose to write a story about decisive killing, or he can continue to explore the route of Zhiguai.
After thinking about it carefully, Zhao Xun felt that Tang Legend could be adapted.
Although the legends of the Tang Dynasty are essentially the same, there are still many differences from the later Ming and Qing Dynasties in terms of specific expressions.
What Zhao Xun has to do is to set the tone, and then make some local fine-tuning based on Da Zhou's background.
As long as it is adjusted well, it will definitely sell well.
In his view, market analysis and market positioning are the most important aspects.
As long as this step is done well, the rest will not be a problem.
After discussing with Wangcai about selecting a topic for the new book, this issue has come to an end for the time being.
Of course, the next step is to feed the little fat man.
It is not easy to do this, because Wangcai is a very greedy guy.
This was the case when he was still in the bad people's office. Wangcai was responsible for ordering takeout and eating most of it.
In the end, Zhao Xun and Jia Xingwen often did not have as much as Wangcai together.
Of course, Zhao Xun will not complain about anything. After all, Wangcai's body shape is there.
The bigger the body is and the more meat it consumes, the more energy it consumes.
This is something anyone who studies fitness knows.
So Zhao Xun tolerated Wangcai again and again, even if Wangcai ate part of Zhao Xun's takeout, Zhao Xun would not say anything.
But now, it's Zhao Xun's turn to cook to feed Wangcai.
This situation is completely different.
Although Zhao Xun has the reputation of being the little chef of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is not easy to feed a fat man like Wangcai.
Zhao Xun suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
But looking at Wangcai's pair of watery Kazilan's big eyes staring at Zhao Xun, Zhao Xun had to bite the bullet and cook.
Well, actually cooking is more interesting than practicing.
Since we are cooking, we naturally can’t stick to our old ways and keep doing the same thing.
Zhao Xun still wanted to take this opportunity to research some new dishes.
Sometimes the study of cooking, like practicing spiritual practice, relies on a rush of motivation.
"First make a three-cup serving, and then pair it with a serving of dry noodles. It should be a perfect match."
After Zhao Xun thought about the menu carefully, he started to chop the meat.
The recipe of three-cup chicken is actually similar to that of large-plate chicken, and Zhao Xun still knows how to make it.
It’s just that it’s a bit difficult to chop the meat.
The kitchen knife in the academy kitchen feels not sharp enough, and it always feels a bit awkward when chopping meat.
It seems that Zhao Xun has to find an opportunity to give feedback to his third senior brother Long Qingquan and upgrade the kitchen tableware in the future.
There is a saying that if a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.
If you can't even guarantee the quality of the kitchen knives, how can you make dishes that satisfy everyone?
As for dry noodles, they are Zhao Xun’s favorite.
Zhao Xun has one advantage, that is, he is not picky about food.
No matter what the dish is, it tastes delicious to him.
Large dishes are prepared in the same way as large dishes, and home-cooked dishes are prepared in the same way as home-cooked dishes. There is no distinction between them.
Of course, Zhao Xun actually prefers home-cooked food.
Because in his opinion, home-cooked food has more sparkle.
There is no feeling of being superior, there is no feeling of being domineering, but it is just close to life.
Dry noodles are such a home-cooked dish.
Of course, dry noodles with three cups of chicken would be a little too dry. Zhao Xun knew that at this time, he still had to pair it with a soup to balance it out.
But what soup to make?
Is it seaweed and egg drop soup, tomato and egg, or gold and jade soup?
Either way, it's a thirst quencher.
In the end, after some weighing, Zhao Xun chose seaweed and egg drop soup.
Because he prefers the taste of seaweed.
If his little fan Wan Yan's son hadn't sent someone to deliver seaweed, it would have been difficult for this dish to come out.
However, with the help of this little fan, Zhao Xun can easily make seaweed and egg drop soup.
Hmm. People still have to push themselves sometimes. If you don’t push yourself, you will never know how perfect a dish you can make.
When Zhao Xun took a bite of the freshly made seaweed and egg drop soup, he was moved to tears.
He really never thought that seaweed and egg drop soup could be so delicious.
It tastes so delicious even without adding MSG.
This is the smell of the sea.
Zhao Xun eagerly wanted to take out this pot of seaweed and egg drop soup to share with his brothers and sisters. Of course, the most important thing is to give Wangcai a taste.
He must let Wangcai feel his feelings.
Wangcai could resign for him and come to Zhongnan Mountain to live permanently, so Zhao Xun naturally had to show some sincerity.
Three cups of chicken, dry noodles, tofu mixed with green onions, cucumbers, seaweed and egg drop soup.
Three dishes, one soup and staple food.
Although the dishes are far from rich, they are definitely enough.
Zhao Xun felt that even a gourmand of Wangcai's size would be enough to fill his stomach.
"The food is served, everyone is here for dinner."
In Zhao Xun's opinion, cooking should have a sense of ritual, and serving food should also have a sense of ritual.
This represents the importance he places on his work.
Soon the academy brothers and sisters as well as Wangcai rushed towards the bamboo building at Zhao Xun's call.
Seeing Zhao Xun bringing plates of delicacies to the table, almost everyone started to swallow their saliva.
"Junior brother, why are you always able to make so many delicious dishes in different ways? It's really enviable."
"Yes, little junior brother, just the smell of this delicacy makes people drool. We really can't bear it anymore."
"Haha, I'm overly complimenting my senior brothers and sisters."
Zhao Xun stroked his hair very coquettishly.
In his opinion, this is undoubtedly the most enjoyable moment at the moment.
"Eat quickly, the food won't taste good if it gets cold."
Zhao Xun reminded him kindly and thoughtfully.
Wangcai, however, ignored these small talk and compliments and started to act on his own.
Zhao Xun thought to himself, good guy, this kid looks like he hasn't eaten in a few days.
Can't you be more reserved and pay attention to your image?
That’s all, Wangcai doesn’t seem to have much of an image to speak of.
Then let him be.
"The East Palace is starting to get restless."
In the palace of Prince Qi, Prince Qi Li Xiang said meaningfully.
Li Jianye, the eldest son of Prince Qi, asked cautiously: "Father, should we take action?"
"Don't worry, if we can't get real evidence at this time, we won't be able to do anything to the guy in the East Palace. Let them meet and talk first, and then we'll catch someone. At that time, the prince will just fall into his crotch with yellow mud. , It’s still shit even if it’s not shit.”
Qi King Li Xiang has been suppressed by the princelings in the past few months.
The biggest reason for this is that he was implicated by Zhao Xun.
Zhao Xun caused an uproar by beheading the King of Wei, and then returned to Beijing to resign and completely break with the court.
The father must have hated Zhao Xun so much in his heart that he wished he could cut him into pieces with a thousand knives, but because of the teacher Zhao Xun's commanding officer, he was unable to do so.
The evil fire in the father's heart had no place to release, so it all spread on King Li Xiang of Qi.
As for the princelings' wanton attacks, Qi King Li Xiang also knew very well that there was an element of tacit approval from his father.
Without the acquiescence of his father, even if he lent ten courages to the princelings, they would not dare to attack King Qi in such a grand manner.
But none of that matters now.
Because Li Taiping had disappeared, King Qi had no final scruples.
Otherwise, the princelings could use this as an excuse to attack King Qi.
Now King Qi could completely free his hands to fight back.
However, the prince was so careless at this time that he exposed all the flaws.
If King Qi didn't seize the opportunity to fight back at this moment, he would be sorry for the prince's previous attack.
"Father, Zheng Jie and Feng Hao hosted a banquet for the prince at the same time. What do they want to do? It can't be as simple as swearing allegiance, right?"
"Of course it's not that simple."
For this eldest son, Qi King Li Xiang still paid great attention to training.
Whenever he has the opportunity, he will teach him his many years of experience in the court.
Although growing up in a royal family, some things are innate.
But if no one deliberately takes care of it, it will be difficult to just rely on natural growth.
"If I am not wrong, they are trying to find an opportunity to launch a coup to support the crown prince."
As soon as Qi King Li Xiang said these words, Li Jianye took a deep breath.
"How dare they do this?"
"Why don't you dare? The situation in the court is in chaos now. My father has been asking questions about the demon monk all day long and ignores the government affairs. This is a good time for them to launch a coup. It depends on whether the prince has the courage."
Qi King Li Xiang said it calmly, but it was shocking to Li Jianye.
If everything goes as what Father said, there will be big moves in Chang'an City in the near future.
"Calm down, the last moment is not the time for a showdown."
King Qi Li Xiang said leisurely: "Our man in the East Palace is also a tolerant person. He will not show his flaws easily. So we must wait until he can't bear it anymore."
King Qi knew very well that the prince was in a very struggling state.
On the one hand, the prince is inferior to one person and above ten thousand people. On the other hand, he has to bear great pressure.
If you do not ascend the throne and practice Zuo, you will not be able to face the north and face the south.
The prince is like an outstanding bird, and countless people want to kill him and replace him.
So it depends on how long the prince can endure it.
If the prince can't bear it any longer, that's when King Qi's party will show off its power.
"Father, do you think His Majesty will know about this matter?"
"I don't know either."
King Qi shook his head and said: "If it had been in the past, with my father's character, I would have been able to know the movements of the prince and the kings very well. But in the past few months, my father has been getting along with that monster monk, which has delayed a lot of time." time. So I think he may not be able to fully understand the prince's connection with Zheng Jie and Feng Hao. But aren't there still us? As long as we expose this matter at the right time, the effect will be achieved. Jianye, remember not to just look at the present when doing things, but take a long-term view. The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind, so what we want to do is the oriole."
"My son will obey his father's teachings."
Li Jianye rushed to Qi Wangdao very respectfully.
These days he found that he lacked a lot indeed.
My father is indeed very capable, and he can keep his composure even when big things happen.
He will be far behind in this regard. He needs to learn more from his father. *** If this happens, Chang'an City will definitely not be at peace. By then, not only our Prince Qi's Mansion, but also other kings will definitely have trouble. Action is nothing more than the size of the action. Just look at it, for more than ten days at most, the demons will be dancing wildly. "
King Qi Li Xiang said this with a hint of expectation.
Yes, for a vassal king, if everything goes smoothly in the court, there is basically no chance.
Only by muddying the water would he have a chance.
The murkier the water, the better his chances.
"Chief Shan, please try this dry noodles, these three cups of chicken, this tofu mixed with spring onions, this cucumber, and this seaweed and egg drop soup."
After Zhao Xun, his senior brothers and sisters, and Wangcai finished feasting and left with satisfaction, he quietly brought a meal prepared in advance to the bamboo building where the mountain chief was.
"These are my disciples' filial piety to you."
"Well, Xiao Qizi, you are interested."
The mountain leader picked up a piece of chicken and chewed it carefully, with a smile of enjoyment on his face.
"This chicken tastes good."
Zhao Xun was ecstatic when he heard this.
Who doesn’t know that Shanzhang is a top-notch gourmet?
Being able to get high-quality reviews from his elders proves that the three cups of chicken made by Zhao Xun definitely taste top-notch.
If the mountain chief can endorse him, Zhao Xun will no longer have to worry about not being able to sell the three-cup chicken.
The brothers are still settling the scores, and the senior brothers and sisters will naturally have to pay for three cups of chicken.
Good luck having chicken tonight.
This is to get a lucky draw. Zhao Xun felt that with the mountain chief's enthusiastic endorsement, the sales of these three cups of chicken would be stable.
"Try this cucumber again, it's very refreshing."
Zhao Xun was eager to present the treasure, and Uu Kanshu eagerly sent the cucumber to the mountain chief.
The mountain leader took another piece of cucumber and put it into his mouth, chewing it gently.
"It's really refreshing."
"Well, there is one thing that I don't know whether to talk about or not."
"Say it."
"Shan Chief, you said that the war is imminent, but you are not worried at all?"
Although Zhao Xun knew that it was not good to say this while the mountain leader was having a meal, he still couldn't help it.
"What does it mean to be anxious, and what does it mean to not be anxious?"
The mountain commander took the initiative and said: "Weishi knew that they would come eventually, so we have been waiting. The reason why Weishi refused to show up was to catch them off guard. So do you think Weishi is in a hurry or not?" ?”
"Well, the mountain leader shouldn't be in a hurry, right?"
