Steel Dynasty - Chapter 651

[Chapter 650 The plan for the fourth prince]

The light outside the main hall gradually dimmed.

Tong Hongchang and others couldn’t stay any longer after getting Xiao Ming’s promise. After all, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and they might be in trouble if something went right.

So after saying some innocuous words, they left one after another, and even if Xiao Ming allowed them to do business in Qingzhou, they would naturally take this opportunity to find some ways.

Seeing that all these wealthy families had left, Xiao Ming felt refreshed and had nothing to say to a group of strangers. He also reminded what needed to be reminded, and the rest just followed the script.

The most important thing to him now is the great unification war in the north. The defeat of the Three Kings Alliance is just the beginning. The key point is to destroy them one by one.

In his plan, King Yan is naturally the first one he needs to solve. Who makes him closest to him?

Now that the fourth prince is at war with the Tian family and the Ji family, the King of Chu has lost half of his kingdom, but he is also worried about the fourth prince.

How can he allow others to sleep peacefully on the side of the bed? The State of Yan must be firmly held in his hands.

Thinking of this, he said to Qian Dafu: “Li San should have come back yesterday. You go find him now. I have something to tell him.”

Qian Dafu held Fuchen in his hands. Now he looked like a professional eunuch, wearing black clothes. , wearing a tall flat hat, he laughed when he heard the words, “Your Majesty, Li San is definitely with Liuli now. If you want to find Li San, you only need to find Liuli.”

“Liuli? Isn’t this the maid beside the mother-in-law? ?” Xiao Ming asked.

“No, your Majesty doesn’t know. Li San has already had a crush on Miss Liuli.” Qian Dafu said with a smile.

Xiao Ming nodded. Li San was not young anymore and had already reached the age of marriage. He pondered for a moment and said: “Li San is the commander of the secret guards, and the secret guards are my eyes, so the secret guards are loyal.” “

It’s the most important thing.”

“The emperor is right. He has been staying in Qingzhou. The country of Chongqing is so big that it is impossible to know everything. Everything inside and outside comes to the emperor’s ears through the mouths of officials. If they intend to deceive the emperor, the emperor will not be able to detect it.” Qian Dafu said.

“It is for this reason that I established the secret guard to prevent this from happening.” Xiao Ming said.

Qian Dafu seemed to have a clear understanding. He said: “Your Majesty, instead of doing this, it is better to grant marriage to Li San and Liuli. In this way, Li San will feel grateful to the Emperor and become more loyal to the Emperor.”

“I think so too, but it’s just that I’m afraid that’s not enough.” Xiao Ming said, “It would be appropriate if the mother-in-law recognizes Liu Qiu as her adopted daughter.

The emperor has really prepared a generous gift for Li San this time.” Qian Dafu said with emotion.

“This is not just for Li San. Liuli risked his life to protect his mother-in-law when he was in Chang’an. The mother-in-law is also very grateful to her. She once mentioned to me about accepting Liuli as her adopted daughter. This time I also took the initiative. “If that’s the case, it’ll be perfect.

“

Qian Dafu said with a smile: “I’ll go find Li San now.”

After waiting in the main hall for a while, Li San, wearing a purple cotton gown, came in and saw Xiao Ming. He bowed and said, “Secret Guard Commander Li San comes to see the Emperor.”

“No courtesy!” Xiao Ming helped Li San up and said, “When did you come back?”

“Back to the Emperor, I just came back last night.” Li San felt guilty. , Qian Dafu smiled a little strangely when he was looking for him.

Relying on his intuition as a secret guard in the past few years, he felt that something must be happening.

“Does Liuli look good?”

“It looks good.” Li San said instinctively like a nymphomaniac, and then suddenly panicked, “Your Majesty, a low-ranking official deserves death!”

Xiao Ming laughed and said, “What are you afraid of? I’m not afraid of anything.” What are you talking about? Besides, this is Qingzhou, not Chang’an.”

Li San felt uneasy. This meeting with the palace maid could be a big or small matter. In the worst case, it would be an affair and he would be dismissed from office and imprisoned.

Seeing Li San looking scared to death, Xiao Ming simply said: “You are not young anymore. You will be ninety-nine this year. I will be a matchmaker this time and give you the colored glaze.”

Li San became more and more frightened. , he knelt down in front of Xiao Ming with a “pop” and cried: “Your Majesty, this is all the official’s indiscretion and has nothing to do with Liuli. If the emperor wants to kill him, just kill him alone.”

Qian Dafu couldn’t help laughing all the time, At this time, he advised: “Li San, you are usually smart, but this time you can’t tell the truth from lies. The emperor heard about you and Liuli. He feels sorry for you. He specially ordered the mandarin duck. Why are you crying?” .”

Li San stopped crying at this time. He looked at Xiao Ming and then at Qian Dafu, both of whom looked at him kindly.

At this time, he hesitated and asked: “Is what the emperor said true?”

“I am the emperor, do you say this casually? Of course, if you don’t like it, I will give the colored glaze to others, and then you will definitely not “My lord, I like

it

. I liked it when I first went to Chang’an.” Li San said hurriedly.

Xiao Ming nodded, “In that case, I will help you, but I still have something you need to do before your wedding.”

“Please make it clear, Your Majesty.” Li San’s playful smile returned to normal.

“The fourth prince is very ambitious. I didn’t want to destroy the Yan Kingdom but I fulfilled him. There is no need for another vassal king in the north?”

Li San understood that the intelligence of the left and right secret guards was shared. He said: “This uprising happened It is the credit of the Tian family and the Ji family. The fourth prince is just a fake, but it is a joke that he wants to take the opportunity to replace the King of Yan to manage Yan.”

“For me, I only need to appease the Tian family and the Ji family. He is redundant. “

Xiaoguan understands that before King Huainan captures Yingzhou, Xiaguan will definitely get rid of the fourth prince.” Li San said in a deep voice.

Xiao Ming nodded. He was assassinated when he first arrived in Qingzhou. The person who assassinated him was the fourth prince. How could he hand over Yandi to such a poisonous and scorpion-hearted person? Instead of doing this, it is better to retaliate in kind to avoid being saved. The snake was bitten by the snake.

Although the method of assassination is somewhat unsightly, no one who is at the top of power has his hands stained with blood.

Compassion does not lead the army, justice does not lead the country. He wants to be an emperor and manage the country of Chongqing in an orderly manner. How can he understand the world if he is not thick and black?

“Remember to leave no traces, it is best to let the Tian family and Ji family do it themselves, so as not to cause more trouble later.” Xiao Ming reminded.

Li San nodded. At this time, he was full of energy. For him, handling this matter perfectly was a way to repay Xiao Ming. Of course, this matter was Xiao Ming’s original intention to find him, not to exchange Liuli.

After talking about this, Xiao Ming asked Li San about Wei Di, and then asked Li San to go back.
