Fairy stop smoking

Chapter 164 Summoned
"Hahaha, elder brother is unparalleled in prestige, younger brother, I offer you a toast!"

"Excellent award, if it weren't for the second brother, you acted decisively, even if you have all kinds of abilities, you wouldn't be able to do it."

"Hey, brother, you are still modest!"

"Hahaha…"

In the middle of the night, the Prince's Mansion was still brightly lit, and the silk and bamboo orchestral music in the lobby was filled with bursts of cheerful smiles.

The second prince, Li Xun, and the crown prince, Li Jue, who fought endlessly in the past, are sitting opposite each other as if they were close siblings.

The two exchanged glasses, and praised each other with the strength of the wine, and they praised each other so much that even Jia Yu, who was sitting next to him, was ashamed of it.

Ding~
The wine bottles collided and made a crisp sound.Li Jue's eyes were a little hazy, and he said with a smile on the corner of his mouth:
"After tonight, the Shadow Guard has basically been cleaned up. Hehe, without the help of the Shadow Guard, she, Li Qinrui, is just a toothless tiger. Why don't you and my brother decide?"

The Shadow Guard is an extraordinary force completely belonging to the eldest princess, and the monks in it practice extraordinary skills.In the previous few confrontations, Li Jue's casual cultivators failed to take advantage of the slightest.

Now that the shadow guard can be severely injured, this is simply great news for Li Jue.It's even happier than hearing that the princess concubine has given birth to an heir.

"Hey, big brother, that's wrong. Although the two of you and I have teamed up suddenly in the past few days, Li Qinrui was caught off guard. But besides the Shadow Guard, she also controls the Enshrining Pavilion, so her strength should not be underestimated.

And there is another hidden danger this time, that is, the two of us privately mobilized treasury materials to recruit folk monks.This matter had to be handled properly, otherwise, if Li Qinrui caught him, the problem would be serious. "

Compared to Li Jue's optimism, Li Xun, who has suffered many losses from Li Qinrui, still keeps in mind the reminder of Jiuqian Laodao.

Don't underestimate the Eldest Princess, don't give her any chance to turn things around.As for privately moving the treasury, that is really a helpless move.

The casual cultivators in the countryside and the small sect of cultivators who dare to participate in the struggle for the throne are a group of profit-seeking people.In order to be able to gather enough manpower as soon as possible, the little inventory in Li Xun's house alone is naturally not enough.

But with the idea of ​​ascending to the throne in the near future, Prince Li Jue directly decided to use the imperial treasury privately, drawing a large amount of cultivation resources from it.

Let those small sects of casual cultivators who are eager to try eat their mouths full of oil at once, and one or two can't wait to kill a few shadow guards immediately to show their loyalty.

However, practice resources are the lifeblood of all those who support the dynasty.Even if those in power mobilize resources on a large scale for no reason, they need to clarify their interests with several major factions in advance before they can mobilize.

Taking privately the treasury's cultivation resources, this kind of thing is a felony to dethrone when the old emperor is still alive.

Even now, if this matter is not handled properly, it may still affect their eligibility to seize the throne, after all, the amount they have withdrawn is not a small amount.

But regarding Li Xun's worries, the prince still behaved very confidently.

Because of his drunkenness, Li Jue's voice was a bit vague:

"It's okay, the second brother doesn't have to worry about the withdrawal of resources. I already greeted old Liu Weiguang yesterday. With his help in covering it up, and with the help of our connections, even if Li Qinrui really produced evidence, You can also find excuses to delay for a while."

Speaking of this, Li Jue's face became more arrogant, and he sneered with a louder voice:

"The old guy has not had a good life for a few days, as long as he procrastinates, it's not a big deal at all!"

Although he felt that something was wrong, Li Xun was still relieved after hearing the prince's explanation.

As the prime minister, although Liu Weiguang looked mature and prudent, he was very powerful. With his help, even Li Qinrui would have nothing to do with them.

As the saying goes, the emperor and the courtiers in one dynasty, did not expect that with the continuous development of the situation, even the old prime minister who lived in the first rank would personally enter the game, and it was not his side that took refuge.

The position of prince!A little jealousy flashed in Li Xun's eyes, but he quickly hid it, picked up the wine bottle and pretended to praise:

"Big brother is a big brother. With this arrangement, we will rest easy!"

"Heh, why are you and my brothers teaming up to be afraid of her being a mere girl..."

Li Jue, who was already full of intoxication, was even more flustered when he heard this effusive words, as if he was giving up to me.

……

The Shuizelong family also suddenly sent a message to suspend cooperation less than half a month ago, and the shadow guard suffered heavy losses in the past few days.

Bad news came one after another, but the eldest princess Li Qinrui, who was in the center of the vortex, was still not in a mess. She just ordered the remaining shadow guards to take shelter and enshrine the pavilion, quietly lurking and no longer facing the people under the prince's mansion. conflict.

Rumors in the imperial capital always spread quickly, the battlefield shifted from the supernatural to the officialdom, and officials big and small criticized each other endlessly.

A lot of black material has been exposed, and while the people are eating melons, more and more officials are being dismissed and exiled every day.

It stands to reason that those who are officials in the imperial capital are mostly those with keen political sense, and they all have some wise means to protect themselves.

But the struggle between the two Highnesses and the eldest princess is related to the future throne, and few people can stay out of it.Without strength, he can only become a pawn in the game, or the kind that will be abandoned at any time.

……

"What? The emperor summoned me?"

Looking at the young eunuch in the palace who came to interrogate him, Li Xun looked a little astonished, and even wondered for a moment whether he had heard it wrong.

After all, this is really rare. Since the old emperor was sick, he has been staying in the palace. No matter how their children ask to see him, they will always be rejected.

Seeing that the second prince looked suspicious, the eunuch who summoned him respectfully saluted him, and then reminded him a little nervously:

"The sage's words are absolutely true. Not only that, the crown prince and the eldest princess have also been summoned. Your Highness, the second prince, the emperor's waking time is limited, please leave quickly."

It is reasonable to say that the young eunuch shouldn't act like this when he represents the Tian family when passing the oral order.But today is different from the past, the person in front of him is very likely to be the new emperor, so be respectful and make a good impression.

I don't know whether this summoning is a blessing or a curse. '

All kinds of thoughts flickered in his mind, and in just a short moment, Li Xun thought of the possible scenarios in the number.

But in any case, this palace still has to go as soon as possible.If Li Qinrui took the lead last night, maybe this woman would say something nonsense in front of the old guy.

"Understood, this king immediately prepares the car to go to the palace, and please wait a little bit, father-in-law."

After ordering his servants to prepare chariots and horses, and to entertain the little eunuch, Li Xun turned around and walked towards the inner house. Some things still needed to be prepared.

……

tick tick ~
The horses pulling the cart walked quickly on the stone road outside the palace. Under Li Xun's urging, the original three to ten minutes' journey was abruptly shortened by the driver to two to ten minutes.

However, after Li Xun walked out of the carriage, he suddenly found that there was also a luxurious carriage parked under the palace wall not far away.A rich and luxurious woman happened to get out of the car.

Li Xun couldn't help but turn dark when he saw the person coming, and at this moment the other party also saw him.

The woman's smile was like a flower, and her voice was like the sound of a clear spring, which was in stark contrast to Li Xun's stinky face.

"Second brother, I didn't expect such a coincidence!"
