Li Zunxu said: "I arranged a lot of people in Zhongxing City. When Zhongxing City was in chaos, I received the news. At that time, I didn't know whether it was true or not, but I still sneaked in secretly, decided to take a gamble, and attacked the palace. Unexpectedly , it succeeded easily, and Li Ping An never showed up."
Ouyang Feng secretly said: "Even if Li Ping'an's disappearance has nothing to do with you, you have planted spies in the royal city, and you have been disobedient for a long time. However, you are also courageous. You dared to risk your life and wealth at the critical moment, and you really won the bet. , life is also really good."
However, Ouyang Feng has no interest in complaining for Li An'an. Their relationship has been over for a long time, and they are still somewhat related to each other.
Ouyang Feng put Li An'an's matter aside, and now his main consideration was Li Zunxu.
Li Zunxu looked at Ouyang Feng with deep eyes but said nothing. He remembered that Ouyang Feng had always called him the King of Qi. He felt blessed for a moment and said: "Brother Wang, I'd better be the King of Qi. This throne will belong to Brother Wang." Come and sit down. Brother Wang, don’t worry. You are destined to be the emperor. No one dares to dissent. I will do my best to help Brother Wang stabilize the situation of the court."
I don't even call myself "I" anymore. It doesn't matter if I can save my life and don't want the throne, but it's better to keep the throne. From now on, I can be an idle prince and never have any unreasonable thoughts about the throne.
Ouyang Feng was stunned. Li Zunxu had given in defeat completely and abdicated directly, which he did not expect.
Li Zunxu has only been in the palace for a few days and is about to abdicate. Just because of this, I'm afraid he will also leave a heavy mark in history.
If Ouyang Feng wanted to be emperor, nothing would have happened five years ago without Li An. If it weren't for his father's dream of expanding the White Camel Villa, he wouldn't even be interested in becoming the Northwest King.
If he was not the Northwest King, but just the owner of White Camel Villa, there would not be this fighting today. And even if he is just the owner of Baituo Villa, who dares to disrespect himself.
Ouyang Feng doesn't want to be the emperor, so who would be most beneficial to him?
Li Ping'an couldn't find it, and he didn't want to look for it. In fact, in the last two years of Li An'an's reign, the two had completely broken up. Northwest was equivalent to independence, and he had no contact with Li An'an at all.
Li Chunyou is indeed still alive, and he is indeed qualified to be the emperor. Mentioning him just now is not just talking nonsense.
Thinking of Li Chunyou, Ouyang Feng thought of Queen Mother Luo again.
Ouyang Feng asked: "Is Queen Mother Luo still there?"
Li Zunxu did not expect that Ouyang Feng would ask about Queen Mother Luo, but he quickly said: "Here she is. There was a chaos in the palace, and she didn't react at all. She was just concentrating on translating Buddhist scriptures."
Ouyang Feng said: "Let's go see Queen Mother Luo."
Five years later, when Ouyang Feng saw Queen Mother Luo again, she was obviously much older. He had destroyed her Dantian, and without the Xiaoyao sect's martial arts, it was impossible to retain her appearance. But even so, she is a beautiful old lady.
Don't think that you will lose your beauty when you get older. As long as your appearance is natural, you can still be beautiful even when you are old. Using other means to leave a stiff appearance that is seriously inconsistent with age will not be more pleasing to the eye.
The fight in Jinluan Palace was turned upside down, and the entire palace knew about it. When Empress Dowager Luo saw Ouyang Feng and the new emperor Li Zunxu following behind her, she was stunned for a moment and realized that Ouyang Feng had won again.
Ouyang Feng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are fine!"
Empress Dowager Luo gently touched her face and asked, "Does the Ai family feel safe?"
Ouyang Feng just made a polite comment to start the conversation. Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Luo took it directly.
Ouyang Feng still felt a little guilty about ruining a woman's appearance, feeling that it was more cruel than killing her.
Ouyang Feng said: "The Queen Mother devotes herself to worshiping Buddha, but still can't let go of such a stinky person?"
Empress Dowager Luo said: "The time for worshiping the Buddha is too short, and it is difficult to break away from the world of mortals."
Ouyang Feng said: "Since it can't be cut off, there is no need to cut it off. If you cut off your seven emotions and six desires, will you still be a human being?"
Empress Dowager Luo had no need to discuss human nature with Ouyang Feng. She looked at Li Zunxu and said, "Is the Northwest King going to abolish the throne again?"
Ouyang Feng said: "This is also forced by the situation, otherwise I would not be interested in running to this royal city all the time."
Queen Mother Luo asked: "Then what do you mean by coming to the Ai family?"
Ouyang Feng said: "I just mentioned Li Chunyou and thought of the Queen Mother, so I came to visit."
Queen Mother Luo asked: "Why are you mentioning Chunyou?"
Ouyang Feng said: "The past few years have not been peaceful, and things always happen to the emperor. King Qi no longer wants to be the emperor, but wants me to be the emperor, so I sighed."
Empress Dowager Luo said in a trembling voice: "You want to usurp the throne?"
Ouyang Feng's becoming emperor was completely different from previous coups. No matter how the coup happens, someone from within the royal family will still be the emperor, all with the surname Li. But if Ouyang Feng becomes emperor, it will be equivalent to the subjugation of Daxia. Ouyang Feng can even change the country's title.
Ouyang Feng said: "I have said before that only a fool becomes the emperor."
Queen Mother Luo believed that Ouyang Feng was telling the truth. She really didn't understand Ouyang Feng's psychology. Shouldn't the Ninth Five Supreme Being be every man's dream? Even women are no exception, everyone has a desire for power.
But something stirred in her heart, and she couldn't help but think: "Then why are you mentioning Chunyou at this time? Could it be that Li Zunxu quit and Chunyou has another chance?"
Although Queen Mother Luo also felt that this idea was too absurd and impossible, she still couldn't help but think so.
How can it be so easy for people to give up family ties? No matter how many rites a Buddha has, as long as he is still a human being, he will still care about the people he cares about.
But when I thought about it, it didn't matter who became the emperor. What mattered was what Ouyang Feng would become if he were not the emperor. Will he give up his rights completely?
The posture doesn't look like it.
Queen Mother Luo asked: "Since you are so noble, why do you still want to get involved in these worldly things?"
Ouyang Feng sighed: "It's a pity that I'm not alone. If I were alone and had no worries, do you think I would be willing to waste my time on you?"
Queen Mother Luo sneered: "It's not that I want to gain power, to put it nicely."
Ouyang Feng felt hypocritical, so he stopped defending and asked, "I haven't seen my children in so many years. Doesn't the Queen Mother miss them?"
Empress Dowager Luo lives deep in the palace. Although she knows that they have entered Lingjiu Palace, she has not heard from them for five years, so how can she not be worried.
Queen Mother Luo couldn't help but ask: "How are they?"
Ouyang Feng asked: "Don't the Queen Mother know where they are?"
Queen Mother Luo was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "I know, but I don't know how they are doing now."
Ouyang Feng said: "It's very good. I just came out of Lingjiu Palace. Princess Yinling's martial arts is good. She is much better than five years ago."
Queen Mother Luo trembled. Ouyang Feng finally knew their whereabouts and asked, "What did you do to them?"
Ouyang Feng said: "What are you talking about, Queen Mother? Since I promised to let them go, as long as they don't provoke me, I won't bother to care about them."
Queen Mother Luo was still worried and asked, "Then why are you looking for them?"
Ouyang Feng thought of the unsolved case twenty years ago. Now Li An'an's life and death were unknown and there was no way to verify it. He didn't want Empress Dowager Luo to see the joke. Naturally, he would not go into details. He just said, "Go and ask them something else. Don't worry, Empress Dowager." , they are very good. Princess Yin Ling spends all her time practicing martial arts, while Li Chunyou eats and waits for death, each has his own way."
Empress Dowager Luo could hear the contempt in Ouyang Feng's tone. Although he praised Princess Yinling's martial arts for getting better, she still looked down on her from a high position, and his contempt for Li Chunyou was clearly visible on his face.
Queen Mother Luo asked: "Did you start a fight with her?"
Ouyang Feng said: "How do you know that her martial arts has improved without taking action? If the Queen Mother misses them, I can let them come back and let Li Chunyou continue to be the emperor. Anyway, King Qi doesn't want to be."
Queen Mother Luo swayed and almost fell down. Even if she had such thoughts in her heart, she felt that she was just wishful thinking. But when Ouyang Feng said it himself, it still made her heart beat faster.
However, Queen Mother Luo was also a thoughtful person, especially after a disaster, she did not dare to be naive anymore. There is no such thing as a good thing falling from the sky. Even if there is, why should it hit her on the head?
If Ouyang Feng hadn't said this, she would have been thinking about how to recover and regain everything she lost. However, now that Ouyang Feng took the initiative, she had to think more about it.
Could it be that Ouyang Feng wanted to find an excuse to eradicate the problem, but was hindered by his original promise? People like Ouyang Feng value commitment the most, even if the person making the commitment is penniless.
Li Zunxu had only been emperor for a few days and he no longer wanted to be emperor. What does this mean? It shows that he is also a puppet and is at the mercy of others. Ouyang Feng has no intention of delegating power.
Li Chunyou's talent is not as good as that of Li Zunxu, but Li Zunxu was once the number one scholar.
Empress Dowager Luo did not agree or refuse on the spot, but was thinking about what other cards she had in her fight with Ouyang Feng. There is nothing to be done as a puppet emperor, and it is not easy to be a puppet emperor. His life is in danger at any time.
His own martial arts cannot be restored, his daughter's martial arts are not worth mentioning in front of Ouyang Feng, his son is even more useless, and there is no external support. After thinking about this combination, I still think it would be better to stay away from Ouyang Feng.
Although Empress Dowager Luo wanted to agree, she finally shook her head and refused.
Ouyang Feng was a little surprised. The only thing that caught his eye about this family was their identity as heirs of the Xiaoyao Sect. This time when I told Empress Dowager Luo that she wanted Li Chunyou to come back as emperor, it was considered sincere, but it was not considered kind.
Li Chunyou has powerful people like Princess Yinling and Queen Mother Luo behind him. He may not be grateful to him, and it is almost inevitable to cause trouble for him.
If that were the case, it would solve the problem once and for all.
Ouyang Feng always felt that Queen Mother Luo was a strong person, even if her martial arts skills were gone. Martial arts is indeed a kind of ability. Strong martial arts can only mean that the person is talented, but it is not a strong person.
Real strength lies in character, having a strong heart and being positive, so Zhang Wuji lost to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Of course Jin Yong is trying to cater to history, but if Zhang Wuji is shaped into another character, like Quan Guanqing, and then loses to Zhu Yuanzhang, it will look very unreasonable. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang is a strong man, while Zhang Wuji is just a skilled person.
