Madam, protect me!

Han Dynasty Palace.

The middle-aged man looked at King Han and said, "This is a wise choice. If you get rid of Li Xuanjing, King Chun will not have anything to worry about. You should have done this long ago."

Now that the decision had been made, the King of Han no longer hesitated and asked: "What should I do specifically?"

The middle-aged man said: "The other princes and the dignitaries of Chang'an need the Han Palace to unite, and we will leave the other matters to us."

The king of Han asked: "In what name can we unite them?"

The middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "Qing Junzi!"

King Han sat on the chair and gently touched the table with his index finger.

Although Qing Jun's side is a good reason, it is premised on violating the emperor's wishes. No emperor would want to be coerced by his ministers.

If things work out naturally, then getting rid of Li Xuanjing would be equivalent to deposing King Chun.

But if it fails, the consequences will be very serious.

Actions launched in the name of the Qing Dynasty have always resulted in a large amount of bloodshed and sacrifices, no matter whether they were successful or not.

However, under the coercion of the Wang family, he had no other choice.

Not long after, Prince You's Mansion.

King You was suddenly startled and asked: "What, Qingjun side?"

The King of Han asked: "Why, you don't dare?"

King You did not answer directly, but asked: "Are you sure the Wang family will help you?"

The King of Han said: "Li Xuanjing killed Wang Heng and completely angered the Wang family. They came here to avenge Wang Heng. This is a rare opportunity. How you and I fight to get rid of Li Xuanjing is our own business... "

King You's eyes moved slightly.

Although the Wang family is far away in Jinyang, their power in Chang'an should not be underestimated. Many courtiers have direct or indirect relationships with the Wang family.

The princes, the powerful, and the power of the Wang family are indeed a great opportunity to overthrow Li Xuanjing.

He made a prompt decision and said: "Okay, with the help of the Wang family, why don't I dare?"

The King of Han continued: "With our strength, it would be great if we could add Li Rui. However, Li Rui and I have had a grudge recently. It is up to you to persuade him."

King You said: "Then you go to Prince Gong's Mansion. Although he won't play a big role, it is still good for building momentum. As for King Xin, King Xuan and King Ji, it's best to stop by. They agree. It's best not to agree." It doesn’t matter, the focus is still on the Wang family..."

After a while, King Han left the palace of Prince You, and Prince You also left the palace not long after.

In Prince Rui's palace, Prince Rui looked at Prince You in surprise and said uncertainly: "Jun Qing, do you want to kill Li Xuanjing?"

King You nodded and said: "This time the Wang family is willing to help, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you are willing to take action, our chances of success will increase by at least 10%. You have suffered the most in the hands of Li Xuanjing, and you probably don't want him to continue to live." ?”

Prince Rui shook his head and said, "You go ahead and do it. I support you in my heart."

King You raised his eyebrows and asked, "In your heart?"

Prince Rui spread his hands and said helplessly: "I have been unjustly accused twice, once for assassinating Li Xuanjing, and once for plotting against the King of Han. First, I was retaliated by Li Xuanjing, and then by the King of Han. There are not many available men under my command. Even if I want to help, I can't help you. I can only support you from the bottom of my heart..."

King You glanced at him, and King Rui's words were all excuses.

Behind him, there are two aristocratic families, the Cui family and the Pei family. The combined influence of the Cui and Pei families in the court is greater than that of the Wang family.

If Prince Rui is willing to persuade these two families, everything will be absolutely foolproof this time.

Unexpectedly, he who was supposed to hate Li Xuanjing the most would shrink back.

King You was so good at talking that his words were almost worn out, but King Rui wouldn't let go, so he had no choice but to leave.

After King Huiyou left, a feminine young man stepped forward and asked King Rui: "Your Highness, why didn't you agree to King You? This is the best time to get rid of Li Xuanjing..."

King Rui picked up a folding fan, unfolded it, shook it, and said, "Why do you agree? If Li Xuanjing falls, the one who benefits the most is not me. Without him, who else can contain King Han and King You?" It is best to keep him alive, but not too well..."

The feminine young man's face showed surprise, and he said with admiration: "Your Highness is wise!"

night.

Prince You's Mansion.

The King of Han frowned and asked, "Li Rui refused?"

King You nodded and said: "I have spent a lot of time talking, but I still can't convince him. How is the situation over there?"

The King of Han also shook his head and said: "Prince Gong said that he would not participate in these things. King Xin, King Xuan and King Ji agreed, but they could not play any role..."

Among the several princes, only King Han, King You, King Rui, and King Chun had relatively strong strength.

King Gong has never argued, and King Xin, King Xuan and King Ji are too young. Having them is the icing on the cake. Without them, the result will not be affected.

King You waved his hand and said: "Forget it, even if there is no King Rui, it will be enough for you and me plus the Wang family..."

…

The streets of Chang'an.

In a teahouse.

"I heard that at Zongzheng Temple that day, the Dali Temple Minister frightened Shaoqing Zongzheng into handing over his son's murderer with just one word. He was really overbearing!"

"What can we do if we don't hand over to him? Mr. Zongzheng used to be a powerful man, but not anymore. It would be very easy for the Minister of Dali Temple to ruin his family."

"That's not true, Shaoqing Zongzheng is a senior official of the fourth rank!"

"So what if he is a fourth-rank official? He killed more than one official of the fourth rank."

"Not only the fourth-rank officials, he even dared to kill the Confucianists of the fourth realm, and there was nothing wrong with it. No wonder the Junior Secretary of the Imperial Clan was afraid of him..."

"How could His Majesty allow such a person to hold a high position..."

"Shh, you dare to say such things, you don't want to live!"

Several guests who were resting and drinking tea were chatting beside the tea stall. Someone mentioned the topic of Li Xuanjing, the Minister of the Dali Temple, which caused everyone to whisper.

For the common people, although they all heard that Li Xuanjing, the Minister of the Dali Temple, was the biggest corrupt official in the court, such a big man was too far away from them.

The things that the other party did affected the court more, and had little to do with the common people.

But as a commoner of Daxia, who doesn't want the court to become better? When talking about this matter, it is inevitable to criticize it.

Until someone reminded them, they stopped talking and left in a hurry.

Chang'an was full of his ears and eyes. If such words were heard, he would be afraid of his life.

Qingfeng Academy

A group of young students gathered in the classroom to chat after class.

"The current court is really corrupt!"

"The emperor is stupid and treacherous, where is the future of the country?"

"As big countries, Chu, Qi, Zhao, and Wei, which one is like our Daxia? I am really worried that if this continues, Daxia will be annexed by them..."

"Alas, it's a pity that we are insignificant and can't do anything."

"If we can unite more people, the court will pay attention to it. We should jointly write a letter to advise the court to punish treacherous people. I am willing to be the first to sign the letter of advice. Who of you is willing to follow?"

"I am willing to be the first to sign the letter of advice as a scholar!"

"Count me in!"

"Count me in too!"

...

Yuyin Pavilion

Fenghuang walked into the room on the second floor and saw an old woman sitting at the table. She asked, "What do you want me to do?"

The old woman looked at her and asked, "You won't forget that Yuyin Pavilion is where you should be, right? Do you really think of Li Mansion as your home?"

Fenghuang glanced at her. She really wanted to think of Li Mansion as her home.

There were not so many things to do. She was with her beautiful lady Yiren and An Ning every day, painting and embroidering. She could also discuss piano art with Li Nuo and learn swordsmanship secretly. Her life was leisurely and comfortable.

Fenghuang didn't answer her, but asked directly, "What's the matter? I'm still busy. If there's nothing urgent, I'll go back first."

Li Nuo was teaching Yiren a new set of swordsmanship. She still had a few things to understand. Before she could learn it, she was called back by Nightingale.

The old woman said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to stay in the Li Mansion for long."

Phoenix was slightly stunned and asked, "Why?"

The old woman said indifferently, "In the past few days, the wind direction in Chang'an is not right. Someone should be building momentum, and their target is Li Xuanjing. Since the people of Jinyang Wang's family came to Chang'an, they have been very active, involving several princes, a group of dignitaries and court officials. I think they should be preparing to take action against Li Xuanjing..."

The Jinyang Wang family began to contact officials in the court frequently.

The dignitaries also kept going in and out of the mansions of the King of Han and the King of You.

Some people began to incite public opinion, targeting Li Xuanjing.

Although his reputation among the people was not good, in the past few days, it was obvious that someone was deliberately guiding public opinion, and the intention was extremely obvious.

This is what they are best at, so they are also most sensitive to these.

All these people did could not be without purpose.

Phoenix frowned and said in a deep voice, "They want to clear the court!"
