Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Li Yuan's face changed slightly, he recognized who the head was, it was a housekeeper in Li Yuan's mansion.

"What's the meaning of Manager Mao Sui?" Li Yuan questioned with obvious anger, obviously very, very dissatisfied with Mao Sui's practice of not "seeing outsiders" at all.

Mao shrugged his shoulders and said, "If my subordinates hadn't discovered that this person was from Xianyang, I'm afraid today would be the time when Dr. Li's family died of poisoning."

"What?" Li Yuan was taken aback when he heard the words, and then suddenly remembered, isn't this housekeeper in charge of food purchases and cooking in the kitchen?

Li Yuan's face quickly turned pale: "Could it be that this killer wants to poison the food?"

Mao Sui smiled and said: "That's natural. Did Doctor Li really think that he was so relieved to leave Doctor Li alone in Yingdu? Once the doctor's betrayal was discovered, it was inevitable to clean up the house." Things."

Li Yuan snorted heavily, and then said a little uneasy: "Even if you find one, how can you guarantee that there is no other person who is waiting to watch me?"

Mao Sui said seriously: "I really can't guarantee this, so in my opinion, Dr. Li should find a way to complete my task quickly, and then everything will be fine."

Li Yuan was silent for a while, then said: "Boss Mao, you are trying to drive me to a dead end."

Mao Sui smiled and said: "Doctor Li's words are wrong. As long as this is done, then Doctor Li will not have to be restrained by Huang Xie from now on. This is a good thing for Chu and Doctor Li."

Li Yuan let out a hey, and finally took the tiny bottle in front of him, and put it carefully in his arms.

"I'm going to the palace now!"

Chapter 865 Li Yuan Enters the Palace (First Change)

Yingdu has been the capital of Chu State for hundreds of years, and the weather in this city has always been very good.

However, after decades of occupation by the Qin people, the place inevitably declined.

After all, this is not the capital of Qin people, and Qin will not spend a lot of effort to repair and maintain such a huge city. On the contrary, Qin's policy has always been strong and weak. The exploitation encountered during the year is actually very serious.

Sitting on the carriage, Li Yuan silently watched the scenery around him, feeling somewhat complicated.

There are many large mansions on both sides of the road, most of which are under repair or expansion, but only a few of them have been completely repaired.

The reason for this is, of course, that the palace cannot be repaired due to the decline of Chu State's current national power.

Someone is going to ask, whether the repair of the palace has been completed, what does it have to do with the residences of these nobles?

Of course it has something to do with it, because the owners of the mansions who have completed the repairs have either been beheaded or imprisoned, and their property has also been confiscated by King Yuan of Chu without any suspense. up.

With so many pearls and jades in front of them, it is foreseeable that these ministers will definitely not repair their mansions before the complete restoration of the royal palace in Yingdu.

After continuing to move forward, the royal palace of Chu State appeared in front of Li Yuan.

The palace city of the Chu Kingdom in front of me is indeed worthy of the word majestic and majestic in terms of its appearance alone. The golden eaves are shining under the sun, so bright that people can't keep their eyes open.

Li Yuan lowered his head lightly, with a mocking smile on his face: "Now that Zhao is powerful, the king of Chu doesn't think of ways to increase his troops, but instead focuses on collecting people's fat and people's anointing to repair the palace. Really! Suicide!"

In fact, Li Yuan has never had much affection for the country of Chu.

After all, Li Yuan himself is a native of Zhao State, and then served Qin State. Although he said that he sent his younger sister to the palace to become the wife of the King of Chu, this was actually just to make it easier for him to be in the political arena of Chu State. Just stand on it.

However, what made Li Yuan indignant was that since most of the power in the political arena of Chu State was occupied by the three major families, they obviously did not want to see a foreign relative like Li Yuan participating in the cake of dividing up power, so they kept Since then, Li Yuan has had a very difficult time in the political arena of Chu State.

Otherwise, Li Yuan wouldn't still be a retainer under Huang Xie's sect.

Li Yuan also doesn't like Huang Xie, the lord.

From Li Yuan's point of view, Huang Xie's affairs were too sloppy. If Huang Xie could follow Li Yuan's suggestion and decisively eradicate the three major families, then maybe Chu State could still be saved, but it's a pity that Huang Xie looked forward and backward, time and time again. One missed opportunity.

As for the cooperation with Hou, for Li Yuan, it is just what they need. The reason why Li Yuan agreed to be a member of the Qin country is that he feels that the Qin country is so powerful that it is necessary to make friends with the Qin people, so that in the future, in case There are many ways out if Chu State can't get along.

To put it bluntly, Li Yuan never lived for anyone, he only lived for himself.

Generally speaking, such people are actually more selfish and afraid of death, and rarely engage in high-risk actions.

But today is different.

Mao Sui had already put the knife on Li Yuan's neck. If Li Yuan didn't agree, then Li Yuan and his family would die.

To be honest, Li Yuan hated this feeling very much, but there was nothing he could do.

The carriage slowly approached the side gate of Miyagi, and was stopped by the Imperial Guards of Chu State at the side gate.

"What's the matter?"

Li Yuan took out a token and threw it towards the other party: "I'm here to teach the prince!"

Li Yuan is now the martial arts teacher of Prince Xiong Han of the Chu Kingdom. This job was also won by his sister and the prince's biological mother, Mrs. Li, for Li Yuan.

Li Yuan also often used this identity to enter and leave the palace. As for whether he was really teaching, these imperial guards really didn't care about it.

Two quarters of an hour later, Li Yuan came to the palace where Mrs. Li lived.

Prince Xiong Han is not here, according to the usual schedule, at this moment, Prince Xiong Han is receiving the teachings of his masters in his own uterus, and he will only come to pay his respects to his biological mother, Mrs. Li, at dinner time.

Mrs. Li is a woman who is about 30 years old and still looks charming. After seeing Li Yuan's arrival, she was quite surprised: "Brother, why do you have time to enter the palace today?"

You must know that both Li Yuan and Mrs. Li's parents died when they were young, and it was Li Yuan who raised Mrs. Li with great difficulty alone. It can be said that the elder brother is like a father, so Mrs. Li also respects Li Yuan very much. Don't put on any lady airs.

Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "I have something to tell Madam."

Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment, and then said to the surrounding palace people: "You all go down."

After all the palace people had retreated, Madam Li said to Li Yuan, "Brother, what is the urgent need?"

Having been siblings for decades, Mrs. Li obviously knows her elder brother very well.

Li Yuan sighed, looked around, stood up suddenly, walked to Madam Li's side, and whispered in Madam Li's ear: "I just got the news that the crown prince's identity may have been discovered."

"What?" Madam Li froze as if struck by a thunderbolt, her beautiful face suddenly turned pale.

It is also very interesting to say that Chu Wangyuan is not infertile, but the children born to other wives are girls without exception, and only the children of Mrs. Li are two boys.

Mrs. Li's two sons, the eldest son is the crown prince Xiong Han, and the second son is the son Xiong You. They were both born of an affair with Chunshen Lord Huang Xie. The Li brothers and sisters are well aware of this. .

Once this matter is exposed, the five brothers and sisters Li, Xiong Han, Xiong You, and Huang Xie will all die without a doubt. No monarch will tolerate such a thing happening to him.

It was precisely because she understood the importance of this matter that Mrs. Li was so scared out of her wits after hearing that it was exposed.

After a long while, Mrs. Li grabbed her brother's arm and said in a trembling voice, "What should I do now? I have already said that such a thing is absolutely unacceptable."

At this moment, she seemed to have become the little girl who only knew to rely on her elder brother back then.

Li Yuan shook off his sister's hand angrily, and said in a low voice: "Don't panic! Things are still under control, otherwise, how could I have the leisure to talk to you here? Wait for you to run away!"

After being told by Li Yuan, Mrs. Li finally regained her composure, and said, "Has Your Majesty already known?"
