The strongest Marquis in history

Prince Zhan Shi is in charge of many matters in the Eastern Palace, which is an extremely important official position in the Eastern Palace.However, Li Tong, who is in charge of Prince Zhan's affairs, is nearly fifty years old, has a rather strong personality, and is quite rigid in his actions.

Although Li Tong also planned for Zhao Yu, his more suggestion was to let Zhao Yu behave in a well-behaved manner, to establish virtue, to set an example for the world, and to be filial to the emperor.

These suggestions are too pedantic.

So many times, Zhao Yu simply ignored Li Tong.Li Tong is also very interesting here, if Zhao Yu ignores him, he just has to muddle along and take care of his own affairs.

But now, Wei Yuanli, Zhao Yu's confidant counselor, has a problem.Zhao Yu had something to do, so he could only call Li Tong.

Not long after, Li Tong entered.

Li Tong's expression was solemn, his every move was extremely rigorous, and he saluted: "My minister Li Tong, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Master Li, Wei Yuanli suddenly fell ill. Now is the critical time to deal with Prince Qi's mansion. Master Li thinks, how should we continue to deal with King Qi? Especially Cao Jiuxiao is in charge of the household department, which has a great influence on the situation of the court. We also need to respond."

Li Tongnian is nearly fifty, and his hair is gray and gray.

He is old, but his spirit is very good, and his eyes are bright.

Upon hearing Zhao Yu's words, Li Tong said directly: "His Royal Highness, why do you continue to attack the King of Qi? The veteran thinks that it is unnecessary. In addition, Cao Jiuxiao is in charge of the household department, which has no effect on us."

"His Royal Highness, now, should go all out to cultivate morality, let everyone know His Highness's virtues, let everyone know that His Royal Highness is filial to the emperor, and benevolent to brothers."

"This is the root."

Li Tong said: "That's why the old minister suggested that His Highness the Crown Prince should follow the kingly way, so that everyone can see His Highness's virtues."

As soon as he said it, Li Tong became excited and tended to talk eloquently.

Zhao Yu's head hurt from hearing it.

He stroked his forehead with his hands, and sighed: "Hey, I have a headache. Master Li, let me go down and let Bengong rest for a while."

Seeing this, Li Tong frowned.

It's just that Zhao Yu lowered his head and looked like he was suffering from a splitting headache. Li Tong could only bow and leave.After Li Tong walked out of the hall, Zhao Yu returned to his original state, but he sighed inwardly.

Li Tong is Prince Zhan Shi, and his behavior is extremely old-fashioned, and Li Tong is also a celebrity of Qingliu, so it is difficult for him to deal with Li Tong.

It can only be like this.

Zhao Yu waited for Li Tong to step back, changed his mind, and ordered: "Come here!"

The servant entered the salute again.

Zhao Yu ordered: "Send an order to summon all the scholars from the Eastern Palace to discuss matters."

In the East Palace, there are not only official positions set up by the imperial court, but in fact, there are also many recruited bachelors.The so-called bachelors are actually aides, people who advise Zhao Yu.

The servant went to deliver the order, and after a while, about twenty people entered the hall together.

All the people saluted Zhao Yu one after another.

The expressions of these people were solemn, and there was faint excitement and excitement in their eyes.On weekdays, Zhao Yu occasionally summoned these people to sit down and discuss the way of governing the country.

It's just that few of them can enter Zhao Yu's vision. After all, Wei Yuanli of the Eastern Palace is Zhao Yu's absolute confidant.

Zhao Yu coughed twice, and everyone fell silent.

All of them looked solemn.

Zhao Yu didn't go around in circles, and cut straight to the point: "The reason why I summoned you today is for Cao Jiuxiao to take charge of the household department. Mu Jin was sent to prison and Cao Jiuxiao served as the servant of the household department, acting as the secretary of the household department to take charge of the household department."

"This matter has a great impact."

"For us, the East Palace is now, how should we proceed to the next step?"

Zhao Yu said: "The original plan of the palace was to promote Li Zheng, the servant of the household department. But now that Cao Jiuxiao is in power, how should we deal with it? In addition, how should we deal with the Qi Palace? If you have any suggestions, feel free to express your own opinions."

"Your Highness, there is a policy for the humble."

At this moment, a middle-aged scribe stood up.

The middle-aged scholar named Cao Teng.

He is a staff member of the East Palace, and he has always wanted to make a fortune.It's a pity that he has never been appreciated by Zhao Yu, so he has always been just an ordinary staff member.

Zhao Yu asked, "What strategy do you have?"

Cao Teng's eyes were excited, and he said quickly: "His Royal Highness, the only strategy to deal with the Qi Palace is to draw the bottom line. Si Yi, the servant, is the governor of the province and one of the prime ministers of the three provinces."

"Besides, Si Yi is King Qi's uncle and Concubine Duan's elder brother."

"As long as Si Yi is taken down, King Qi will have nothing to fear. At that time, only the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry will be left in the entire lineage of King Qi. It will be easy to handle these two ministers."

Cao Teng looked extremely confident.

In fact, this is his consistent proposition, that is, to take the bottom of the pot and bring down the most important wing.

Zhao Yu shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "To deal with Si Yi, the servant, is equivalent to a full-scale war with King Qi's lineage. This matter is not so easy to accomplish."

Cao Teng, however, was confident, and said, "His Royal Highness, the King of Qi has lost his household department, and our East Palace clearly has the upper hand. That being the case, why not strike while the iron is hot and deal with King Qi, should we wait for the King of Qi's house to exert its strength before turning back the situation? "

Zhao Yu had a thoughtful look on his face.

Cao Teng continued: "Now we are going to start a full-scale war with the King of Qi, and completely establish the situation where His Highness the Crown Prince's family dominates, so that His Highness the Crown Prince can take charge of the six ministries and control the court."

"It is said that Concubine Li's son, King Zhao Gan, worshiped Wang Qi as his teacher. Regardless of Wang Qi's attitude, at least Concubine Li's move is worth remembering."

"Once you don't take action to deal with King Qi, I'm afraid gradually, after a few years, King Jin will grow up and become a force again. So right now, we must go all out to destroy the power of King Qi's mansion."

"Thus, control the court situation."

Cao Teng said: "At that time, even if the other princes come of age, it will not affect the status of the prince."

Zhao Yu's face moved intentionally.

These words are not bad.

Cao Teng also said: "Si Yi is not only the prime minister of the province, but also the uncle of the country, and a relative of the court. To deal with such a person, we only need to publicize his relatives' involvement in politics on a large scale, and the relatives are powerful and affect the country. "

"That's the most direct way."

"Under the public opinion, if Si Yi's own problems are brought out, Si Yi will definitely be taken down. As long as Si Yi can no longer control power, at that time, with the power of Prime Minister Yan in charge of the Ministry of Education, he will assist His Highness the Crown Prince to control The court situation is as easy as turning the palm of your hand."

"Anyway, His Majesty doesn't care much about government affairs now. On this occasion, it should be the East Palace who made all efforts to win the victory."

Cao Teng said excitedly: "Your Highness, don't miss this opportunity and don't come again! Your Highness, please think twice."

Although Zhao Yu was a little moved when he heard it, he didn't express his opinion in a hurry.He looked at the rest of the people and asked, "Everyone, what's your opinion?"

"His Royal Highness, I agree with Cao Teng's suggestion. His suggestion is the most suitable one."

Immediately, someone began to chime in.

"His Royal Highness, we have the advantage in the East Palace, so we should go all out and win King Qi. King Qi has been relying on Si Yi's backing all these years, and he has been against His Highness the Crown Prince everywhere. It's time to win King Qi."

"His Royal Highness, it's time to act."

"King Qi can no longer be allowed to be arrogant. There can only be one voice in the hall, and that is the voice of His Royal Highness the Prince."

"My East Palace, I should get to the bottom of it."

The Eastern Palace staff members kept talking.Everyone held the same opinion, and they all agreed with Cao Teng's opinion, and they wanted to start a war directly.

Zhao Yu frowned slightly after listening, he was a little emotional just now.But everyone had the same opinion, and he felt it was wrong.Especially after he thought about it carefully, he also had some problems.

The reason is very simple, once the real war with King Qi, the consequences will be disastrous.

This is an irreversible situation.

Zhao Yu looked at each of them aggressively and even agitatedly. He was very clear about the intention of these people, which was to destroy Qi Palace in one go, and then they could also make meritorious service.

The question is, is the Prince Qi Mansion easy to destroy?

Zhao Yu thought about it carefully, and ordered: "Let Ben Gong think about it, and let's all go down."

Cao Teng was a little disappointed.

Because Zhao Yu didn't reply immediately.

The rest of the people were also like this, each of them was a bit reluctant, but in the end they had no choice but to turn around and leave reluctantly.

Zhao Yuku sat thinking.

After a long time, Zhao Yu suddenly thought of Wang Qi.Although Wang Qi is young, he is excellent in strategy and martial arts.To deal with Mu Jin's matter, Wang Qi did his best.

Zhao Yu ordered: "Come here!"

The servant entered again.

Zhao Yu said: "Send someone to Wang's house and inform Wang Qi to come to the East Palace to discuss matters."

"Yes!"

The servant immediately went to deliver the order again.

Chapter 218 Interest Theory

Yongxingfang, the Wang family.

in the backyard.

Wang Qi and Zhuge Feng were chatting.

Zhuge Feng looked relaxed, and said slowly: "Second brother, Wei Yuanli is already crazy now. Zhang Liniang made a move, but only a small part. I adjusted the plan later, and people bewitched Wei Yuanli's wife Zhou Shi."

"Because Wei Yuanli dotes on Zhang Liniang, he often stays in the brothel. Zhou's heart has long been resentful. I was bewitched, and Zhou finally agreed to take action."

"Zhou's and Zhang Liniang's unintentional cooperation made Wei Yuanli completely crazy."

"Zhang Liniang has benefited, and the Zhou family is completely at ease here. Even if Wei Yuanli goes crazy, the Zhou family can still live comfortably. After all, the Wei family's family background is not bad."

Zhuge Feng continued: "Speaking of which, these two women are more ruthless. One is for money and the other is for himself. They both fight without any clue."

"I have already arranged the end of the matter, and there will be no follow-up questions."

"What I'm considering now is that since Wei Yuanli is crazy, whether to go further and directly kill him. It's perfectly normal for a crazy person to fall into the water or something like that."

Zhuge Feng said: "Second brother, what do you think?"

Wang Qi thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Wei Yuanli, are you sure that the medicine in him can be recovered?"

Zhuge Feng said: "It is impossible to recover."

Wang Qi said: "Since it can't be recovered, then ignore him. Wei Yuanli's life, let's stay."

Zhuge Feng nodded.

He changed the subject and said again: "There is one more thing that I think needs attention."

Wang Qi said, "What is it?"

Zhuge Feng said: "Now that Wei Yuanli has gone crazy, the East Palace has lost its confidant and adviser. In my opinion, Zhao Yuji may send someone to invite you to advise him."

Wang Qi thought for a while, then nodded and said, "It's possible."

Zhuge Feng smiled and said: "After all, Cao Jiuxiao has already taken charge of the household department, and King Qi has lost his arm. At this time, the East Palace must respond. When Zhao Yu finds you, you have to think about your words in advance and prepare for it."

Wang Qidao: "This matter is actually simple. It is to facilitate the battle between the Eastern Palace and King Qi. As long as the strength of both sides is further weakened, then the goal will be achieved and it will help us."

Zhuge Feng said: "That's what it means."

While the two were chatting, Su Lie entered, he bowed and said: "My lord, the order from the East Palace invites you to discuss matters."

Wang Qi smiled and said: "I really can't say it, it's coming as soon as I say it."

Zhugefeng said: "It seems that the East Palace is a little anxious. In fact, I have carefully studied the people in the East Palace. The people under Zhao Yu's command are only capable of Wei Yuanli, and the rest of the East Palace are nothing to be afraid of. Especially Prince Zhan Shi Li Tong is a pedantic person. As for Zhao Yu's other counselors, they are mediocre."

Wang Qi said: "In this way, now is the opportunity. Su Lie, go prepare the carriage."

"Yes!"

Su Lie turned around to make arrangements.

Wang Qi changed his clothes. He wore a broad-collared shirt, a cloak and a scarf on his head, and went to the East Palace.The carriage arrived at the entrance of the East Palace. Before Wang Qi got off the carriage, someone came to greet him.

Wang Qi got off the carriage and was directly connected to the hall of the East Palace, where he saw Zhao Yu sitting in the main seat.Today's Zhao Yu, with thick eyebrows furrowed, has a trace of indelible sadness on his face.

After all, Wei Yuanli was crazy.

The loss of a think tank in the Eastern Palace was almost fatal to Zhao Yu.

After Wang Qi stood still, he saluted and said, "Wang Qi, a lowly post, pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
