[Twelve Kingdoms] The way back

Qing Han Palace

"King Liu has already ascended the throne." Li Guang sat down on a chair while talking, "Should we also prepare gifts?"

"I didn't expect to be elected so soon," Yingqing Jun Lida, who was sitting at the side, continued, "It's only been a year." Originally, they all thought it would take at least two or three years.

"Isn't this a good thing? I heard she's a queen." Wen Ji leaned over the table towards her father, "I'll be the envoy for the celebration, please! Let me go!"

Zong Wang Xianxin smiled and did not answer, but instead turned his attention to his youngest son Li Guang.Although his son was a bit of a wanderer, he was very well informed. Seeing him sitting there calmly, one could tell that he already knew something.

"I heard that King Yan intends to go in person, and King Jing will also go. Jingzhu seems to have this plan too. And even King Gong is planning to visit in person."

"What a big show." Wen Ji exclaimed, "What is the origin of King Liu?"

"It is said that before becoming king, he was a minor official in Xuanying Palace."

Petty officer... Hearing this, everyone present widened their eyes. That was the lowest position in Yan Dynasty. To put it bluntly, he was a cleaner.It's not that I look down on this position, but I'm surprised that Liu Wang would do this before.

"I can understand King Yan. After all, he came from his own palace. No matter how you say it, you have to celebrate it. With Jingzhu's temperament, she probably wants to run over and have a lesson first." Li Da was a little puzzled, "It's just King Jing And King Gong, I don’t understand.”

"King Yan once helped King Jing, so it barely makes sense to go together." Li Guang added.

"Where's King Gong?" Ming Xi, the concubine who spoke, said, "Qiao Country is so far away from Liu Country, so it's strange that King Gong would go there in person."

"I don't know that."

"You mean to let me go in person?" Xianxin asked Li Guang.

"That's not necessary, I think it would be great if Zhaozhang could go." Li Guang paused, and continued, "But considering Zhaozhang's body, it's more suitable for my elder brother and I to go."

"You are so cunning!" Wen Ji yelled dissatisfied, "It is obvious that I am more suitable than you."

"Father is asking for my opinion." Li Guang spread his hands, "Of course I want to recommend myself."

After Wen Ji snorted, she suddenly thought of something and showed a sly smile: "Second brother, do you still remember that I helped you escape a year ago, did you promise me something?"

Before Li Guang could answer, Li Da feigned anger: "Okay, so it was you who helped him escape that time."

"That's something that can't be helped." Wen Ji stuck out her tongue, "I can't stop it anyway. If I don't help him, how can I get the envoy's job today."

"That's what he said."

Watching Li Da and Wen Ji's siblings sing and Ming Xi, who blocked Li Guang into nothing to say, nodded with a smile: "Since you have agreed to Wen Ji, you have nothing to be unconvinced about, so it's settled."

"That's a pity." Li Guang murmured

Fenhua Palace

"The incident at the beginning did not actually cause any big waves. Except for Da Sikou, few people will remember it, and they will not connect the two of you at once. Even if you know it, you will talk about it behind your back at most. Your household registration is in For me, no one would dare to investigate, so you can do what you want to do with confidence. Just remember, be careful in everything." After conveying Yingli's words, the blue bird pecked at the feathers under its own wings.

Zhaoyang took out silver grains from the brocade bag and was about to feed them when he heard Jiao Zhu's voice: "Master, someone is here."

"En" Zhaoyang threw the silver grains back into the bag, got up and put the blue bird in the cage, and then sat down in front of the dressing table.After she finished these, a female officer opened the door and came in, kneeling aside.

"My lord, please see Shi Qingshan."

"Call him in." Zhaoyang said lazily.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone came in from behind the door with his head bowed, and knelt down two feet away from Zhaoyang: "The official Qingshan pays homage to the Lord."

"Get up." Zhaoyang waved his hand casually, and then let the female officer back down.After the female officer left, she smiled and said: "Qingshan, long time no see." Just arrived at Fenhua Palace two days ago, there was a dark mass of kneeling in front of her.After handing over the enthronement ceremony to Zhongzai, she left without having time to find Qingshan and Lulin.Finally got my chance today.

"Master." Tsing Shan called out respectfully.

"Just call me Zhaoyang in private." Zhaoyang changed his tone, "Or, because I became king, you have to draw a clear line with me."

Qingshan hesitated for a moment, and finally bowed his hands to Zhaoyang: "Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient, Zhaoyang."

"That's right, have you and Lulin got along well in the past few years?" Zhaoyang stepped forward to lift up the green shirt, his tone softened.

"That's it. But you, Zhaoyang, how are you doing outside? We are all worried about you." Qingshan showed a worried expression.

"So-so, anyway, I survived, and now I am standing in front of you alive."

Qing Shan nodded, and then asked about the serious matter: "I heard that you have left all the power to Zai Zuo, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to do so."

"Yingli said that you and he are both working under Zhongzai, you should know how he is." Zhaoyang glanced at the green shirt, "Yingli said that you can believe it, so I will believe it." Zhongzai has strong ability and character. Well, it's just that he was a little less courageous, so he didn't dare to accept the post of false king.

"I'm not worried that something will happen to Zukazai, it's just that there have been some bad rumors in the past two days."

Zhaoyang asked nonchalantly, "What rumor?"

"Say you're idle and want to have fun."

"It's also true. I'm really free these two days, and I leave everything to Zai Zuo." As soon as he finished speaking, Zhaoyang saw Qingshan pursed her lips and frowned, and she laughed: "I'm just joking with you." Yes, how could I not do anything, now I'm just pretending."

Qing Shan reacted immediately: "Do you want to act in a play?"

"En." Zhaoyang nodded, "So please cooperate with me, and I will rely on you to contact Lulin for the time being."

"okay, I get it."

After chatting for a while, Qingshan got up and left, and as soon as he went out, he ran into Grand Tutor He Su.

"My lord Taifu." Qingshan Jishou said.

He Su glanced at the green shirt indifferently, and brushed past him with an "En" sound.Qingshan glanced back, his eyes darkened slightly, this man is very difficult to deal with.

As soon as the green shirt left, the female official came to report to Tai Tuo He Su to see him on the back.She hadn't looked for him yet, but he came to her first. Zhaoyang pinched the bridge of her nose with a headache. If she had to say that she was most afraid of him, this was the Grand Tutor. After all, he had forced the previous King Liu to abdicate.In the past, he hid his front and retreated to the Tai Tuo, but now that he has been exposed, there is no need to cover it up.At this time, if he restrained his edge again, it would make people think that he had bad intentions.

So far, all the officials have given different praises and criticisms to the Tai Tuo's actions. Some people say that he committed treason, while others say that his merits outweigh his mistakes.On the contrary, Zhaoyang felt that Tai Tuo's courage to make a decisive decision really made her admire.It would be fine if he was on her side.But the most important thing right now is how to put yourself in a position where you can negotiate with him on an equal footing.Zhaoyang cheered up and asked someone to call the Taifu in.

Not long after, He Su appeared in front of her, with ink-like hair tied up simply, without any accessories, wearing a dark black robe with a beaded belt around his waist.There is not much change from the way Zhaoyang saw him at the beginning.He stood still in front of Zhaoyang, knelt down on the ground calmly, and bent down: "Chen Hesu pays homage to the lord."

Zhaoyang stared at him for a while, then said slowly: "Teacher, get up."

He Su knew that Zhaoyang was trying to give him a bad shot, but this kind of trick was a little too childish, so he stood up with his usual expression.Zhaoyang didn't expect to be able to calm He Su down like this, so before he could speak, he preemptively said, "The Taifu came just in time, I wrote something in my free time, and I ask the Taifu to read it for me." Then, he pulled out the bottom piece of paper and pushed it over.

The paper clearly lists those who have official positions above the level of a doctor, and the person who killed the tomb has obviously been marked.Now those who can participate in the court meeting, apart from Zhong Zai, only him and Yuan Ya are left, and there are some people who do not stand on anyone's side.This is forcing me to draw out my own people, He Su glanced at Zhaoyang without making a move, but looked straight at Zhaoyang like the first time they met.But Zhaoyang didn't avoid his sight like before, instead he looked back without the slightest fear, as if he was competing with him.

I haven't seen her for so many years, and the girl in front of me has changed a lot.Back then, her eyes were clear and bright, and she could tell that she was a little girl who didn't know much about the world.And now, she has also learned to hide, and the dark light in her eyes flows.I don't know who I learned this kind of risky move, a direct but helpless method.

If he didn't write it, it would appear that he had other plans, and if the writing wasn't complete, she could send all the rest of the people to Yuan Ya's side.He Su sneered, and stepped down with a formidable aura: "My lord is not as idle as the rumors say."

"I let you down." Zhaoyang leaned lazily on the chair.

"No, I'm looking forward to it even more." He Su deliberately paused, and then continued: "My lord, if you are so coercive, aren't you afraid that I will force you down?"

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid. You've been a tutor for so many years, but you still hold the real power in your hands." Zhaoyang straightened up, clasped his hands on the table, "but if you have a backup, I naturally have a backup." Otherwise, how could she Dare to challenge him like this, she has the backing of geese behind her.

"Also, if Zukazai didn't nod his head on that matter, you wouldn't be able to compete with Chief Kou Yuanya." Zhao Yang continued, Yuanya and He Su each held military power, but Zukazai had the right to mobilize weapons. .This is also the reason why Yuanya couldn't resist. He didn't dare to use Dongqi privately and be charged with treason.

He Su walked to the table, picked up the pen with his slender fingers, and began to write on the paper. He said while writing, "You want to use me."

"Well, I use you to deal with Yuan Ya." Zhao Yang admitted very readily, if she sticks to Zhong Zai's party to deal with the two of them, there is no guarantee that the two of them will not unite.So she chose between He Su and Yuan Ya. At least for now, it seems that Yuan Ya is incompetent, and He Su still has a heart to love the people.

He Su smiled shallowly, and that smile instantly melted the coldness on his face: "That's how you trust Zhong Zai."

"If I rule out all other options, then what remains, no matter how incredible it is, is the truth."

Seeing Zhaoyang sitting there calmly under his oppression, He Su felt that this king would never lose to others in terms of momentum, so he put down his pen: "My lord, please take a look."

Seeing He Su put down his posture, Zhaoyang knew that the alliance had been reached, she took the paper and glanced at it roughly: "By the way, Sangong will be with you at the court meeting tomorrow."

"Yes."

"Then please ask Tai Tuo to propose the first pardon of 'the murderer is a felony'." Zhaoyang said, "After all, I want to pretend to be stupid and wait for others to pay tribute." Go too far, cover up all her light, so that she can make small moves behind her back.

"I understand." He Su cupped his hands, "If the Lord has nothing else to do, then Rong Chen will leave first."

Zhaoyang said "En", but suddenly asked after He Su turned around and walked a few steps: "He Su, I'm curious, how did you persuade Zhu Lufeng to abdicate." It wasn't because he was afraid of He Su's rebellion that he abdicated. Anyway, he was going to die anyway, so why didn't he give it a go.

He Su didn't look back, he just left a sentence, "Your Majesty, you will know when you get there." Then he left.

She still has a long life to live, how could she give him a chance, it really whetted her appetite.To be honest, Zhaoyang was actually very nervous just now. Although Shang Long would be serious sometimes, but Zhaoyang knew him well, so he was not so afraid. He Su was different from him.But at this time, the more she can't lose, she has used all the psychological tactics she can use.Watching the TV series was really worthwhile, Zhaoyang chuckled, and looked down at the paper in his hand.

Of the six officials, only Tian and Chun belonged to He Su, Dong Dong belonged to Zhong Zai, and the rest belonged to Yuan Ya.Further down, it is much more complicated. After all, the transfer of officials above the doctor level must be directly approved by the king, and the transfer of officials below the doctor level must be approved by the magistrate and reported.Just like Qiu Guanzhang and below are not all Yuan Ya's people, Yingli also served under Yuan Ya.There are also He Su's people in the forbidden army.

The reason why the important positions among the six officials were entrusted to Yuan Ya was that Zhu Lufeng couldn't escape the word "family affection" even if he was a king.

The author has something to say:

The charges against Zhaoyang will be explained later, and they are basically still under observation.

Ordinary people will not know who the king is, as explained in the previous article.The original book also said that knowing the name of a king is already at a height that can be known.For example, if Shang Long knew Liu Wangzhu Lufeng's name, Li Guang could roughly guess his identity.

Besides, Zhaoyang is not the only one called Zhaoyang, that's why Yingli said that she would never get in touch again.

I'm sorry that I have been interrupted for so many days willfully, and I don't know why I entered the burnout period, and I can't get motivated to do anything.There are so many things I want to learn, I just throw it aside after turning a few pages, hey ╮(╯▽╰)╭.These few days I am going to cheer up again, let the list urge me to code~
