Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 299 Make peace with the enemy, save the country with a curve?
Li Dynasty, Shenglong Mansion, before the gate of Aohou Mansion.

The chariots and horses of dozens of important officials of the Li Dynasty stopped in front of Aohou Lihu's mansion, blocking the street at the entrance.Just looking at the crowd-like crowd, it seems that it is a bit more lively than during the Li Dynasty Great Court Assembly.

In today's place, the atmosphere is dignified and deep, and there are not even a few ordinary people in the Shenglong Mansion on the street. This scene is quite eye-catching!

But at this moment, at a not-too-distant corner, several tall warriors, surrounded by a carriage, cast their gaze towards the gate of Aohou Mansion from a distance.

In the carriage, a handsome middle-aged man closed the window with a gloomy expression, and remained silent for a long time without making a sound.

The other man in the carriage turned his eyes slightly at this time, and immediately said in a deep voice:

"My lord has seen it with my own eyes. Nowadays, all the officials in the court come to Aohou's mansion every day to pay homage and inquire about political affairs. After all these things, they still pay attention to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the palace? And recently, Beijing All kinds of strange incidents and rumors in the media say that Aohou is the man of destiny and should inherit the throne. Don’t you think that this is all because someone is playing tricks behind his back?”

The middle-aged man is Ding Xiu, Guang Lu Xun, the current Li Dynasty.Just because his direct sister entered the palace as Li Weining's queen, and his nephew was established as the crown prince some time ago, so he gained Li Weining's trust and took charge of the palace guard.

Hearing the words of the people around him at this time, Ding Xiu's face suddenly changed continuously.The more he thought about it, the more gloomy and apprehensive the look in his eyes became.

After pondering, he took a deep breath and said:

"The crown prince is still young, and Aohou was ordered by the king to assist the government. Now the situation is tense, and it is common sense for the courtiers to come to discuss..."

Having said that, he pursed his lips slightly and said:

"The army on the Expedition to the Kingdom of Yun was wiped out, and the King is nowhere to be found. It seems that the crisis moment of the kingdom's overthrow has arrived. In order for the kingdom to continue, it is absolutely impossible to destabilize the court!"

Strictly speaking, Li Hu, as the assistant minister appointed by Li Weining when he left Beijing, under the current situation, summoned all the ministers every day to give a speech, there was absolutely nothing to criticize.

No matter how fearful Ding Xiu was, it would be impossible for him to believe that Li Hu wanted to rebel just because of a few words!

Hearing this, Guanglu Kuangyou, the person who advised Ding Xiu at this time, noticed the fearful look in Ding Xiu's eyebrows, and his heart moved suddenly, and he continued:
"My lord, don't be afraid of [-], just in case! Even if there is only a very small chance of this matter, for the sake of the queen and His Royal Highness, you must not let it go! If Aohou really has evil thoughts, what should I do?" Is good?"

Li Hu is the royal family of the Li Dynasty, and he inherited the throne, so he naturally has certain legal rationality.

Moreover, the current situation is tense and people's hearts are floating.At this time, compared to a young king who is less than ten years old, Li Hu is obviously easier to be accepted by the ruling and opposition parties!

When Ding Xiu heard this, his face suddenly became tense, and he immediately shouted:

"Kuang You, you are so courageous, you dare to criticize important officials in the court at this time, what is your intention!"

Kuang You, who originally wanted to explain, was frightened by Ding Xiu's violent drinking, his heart trembled, and his face suddenly turned pale.

This Kuangyou had originally fallen into the hands of Dongchang, but had no choice but to obey the officials of the Li Dynasty who dispatched him.At this time, Ding Xiu's stern reprimand almost directly pointed to the revealing of his identity that he feared most in his heart.

Immediately, Kuangyou didn't dare to say anything anymore, and quickly bent over to lie on the ground, trembling slightly, stammering;
"My lord, my lord, my lord, my lord are just words from the bottom of my heart, there is absolutely no, no disagreement!"

At this time, Ding Xiu also suddenly realized that he seemed to be losing his composure, so he quickly adjusted his emotions, reached out to help Kuang You up, suppressed his temper, and comforted him in a gentle voice:

"Don't blame Mr. Kuang, I made a slip of the tongue..."

The gaffe is just an excuse.Ding Xiu's performance just now obviously failed to restrain his emotions.Because even in his subconscious mind, he agreed with Kuang You's guess just now!
Hearing Ding Xiu's words, Kuangyou's heart immediately felt relieved, feeling his heart that was still beating violently due to fear, he quietly wiped the cold sweat off his head.

After deliberating again for a while, Kuang You continued to speak:
"I know my lord, you are loyal to the country. Under the current situation, you don't want to let the situation continue to collapse. But you must know that what I just said is not alarmist!"

Having said that, Kuang You glanced at Ding Xiu's expression quietly, and saw that he did not show any signs of impatience or boredom, so he continued to speak cautiously:

"Your Excellency is concerned about the safety and security of the country, but Aohou's side, I'm afraid it may not be the same idea...Even if you are patient for the sake of the overall situation, when the queen and the crown prince encounter something unbearable, will Li Hu let it go?" Have you ever done it before? But if you do it first, the situation will be very different!"

Hearing this, Ding Xiu became furious again, pointed at Kuangyou, and shouted:
"You really have the guts to die..."

As soon as the words were ordinary, Ding Xiu couldn't continue, and he froze in place.

His identity was naturally tied to his sister and nephew.If it is later, Li Hu really has other thoughts, he, and his family, have no other choice at all!

On the contrary, if he takes the lead, the power of auxiliary government will completely fall into his hands.From then on, the honor of the family will be more consolidated if one person is under one person and over ten thousand people!

Thinking of this, Ding Xiu's heart beat violently.

After a long time, he finally gritted his teeth suddenly, changed the topic, and asked:
"What can you do?"

When Kuang You heard the words, he quickly followed Dongchang's previous explanation and said:
"I also know my lord's concern. Aohou's current status is indeed related to the stability of the court. Why don't you learn from the old method of the emperor of Yunguo, recruit Aohou into the palace and raise him, and deal with it after the situation stabilizes?"

After Xiao Cheng seized power, in order to temporarily stabilize the situation in the court and appease Wang Xiao's old troops, after taking Wang Xiao down, he did not immediately execute him on the charge of treason, but used the excuse of "honour" Being imprisoned in the deep palace disintegrated the idea of ​​Wang Xiao's old department being completely killed.

Hearing this, Ding Xiu's eyes lit up.

He is not a decisive person, otherwise he would not have hesitated until now.

This method of not killing people for the time being and maintaining the stability of the court to the greatest extent is obviously more suitable for his choice now!

"Okay, I will do as you said!" Ding Xiu gritted his teeth immediately.

When Kuang You heard the words, he felt certain in his heart, and hurriedly said:
"Since this is the case, there is no need to delay. My lord, please prepare quickly. Tomorrow, I will summon Aohou in the name of the palace!"

Hearing this, Ding Xiu nodded solemnly, his eyes showing a fierce look.
-
At this time, he was in Aohou's mansion.

Li Hu, who was discussing political affairs with a group of courtiers, narrowed his eyes suddenly when he saw the note handed over by his cronies, and his whole body showed nervousness.Consider the color of meditation.

The important officials of the Li Dynasty at the side noticed that Ao Hou suddenly became tense, and they, who were reporting the affairs of the court, stopped immediately and looked at Li Hu together.

Li Hu felt everyone's gaze, and then came back to his senses, held the note in his hand, forced a smile and said:
"Something happened in the back house...My lords, please continue to deal with official business here. Benhou, go back as soon as you go!"

All the ministers heard the words, naturally they would not talk too much, Qiqi bowed to Aohou and watched him leave quickly.

After leaving the meeting hall and there was no one else around, Ao Hou immediately turned cold and shouted in a low voice:
"Why did you let people from Dongchang enter the mansion?"

On the note handed over by his cronies just now, it was obviously a report to Yunguo Dongchang, who came to his door!
Leaving aside the present, Yun and Le are attacking each other.As for Li Hu's status in the Li dynasty clan, he is not allowed to have any contact with people from Yun Kingdom!

But now, there is actually a fan from Dongchang who swaggered into his house?

Hearing the words, the cronies who followed him quickly put on a bitter face, and said cautiously:

"Master Hou, it was people from Dongchang who sneaked in! I waited to mobilize the guards to take them down, but I was warned by the opposite side: If you do it, you will make a big noise... Now all the important officials in the court are in the house , if there is a big commotion, Hou Ye may not be able to explain it!"

Hearing this, Li Hu immediately showed a look on his face as if he had stepped on dog shit.

This Dongchang Fanzi's method is such a shameless trick!
But after going through all kinds of things these days, and after learning that Li Weining was likely to die in the rebellion, Li Hu obviously had a peeping heart for that position that he had never had before.

The army on the expedition to Yunguo had been advancing triumphantly, but was suddenly defeated and wiped out, and even Li Weilin was lost in the army.

At this time, the figure of Dongchang fanzi suddenly appeared in Li Hu's mansion. How does this make him face the suspicion between the government and the opposition?In the future, if he ascended to that position, how can he convince the people below?

So at this time, Li Hu, apart from having an extremely ugly face and cursing a few words in his heart, he could only obediently go to see those Dongchang fans in person!
Surrounded by several cronies, Li Hu quickly came to a side courtyard surrounded by guards.

In the courtyard, several Dongchang fans, wearing conspicuous Yunguo Dongchang official uniforms, sat there carelessly, as if they were afraid that others would not see their identities!
Li Hu walked between the mansion guards, looked at these Dongchang fans with a cold face, gritted his teeth and said:
"Is it that you want to see Ben Hou?"

Seeing Li Hu coming, several Dongchang fans stood up immediately, bowed their hands to him, and saluted:
"I have seen Hou Ye!"

Li Hu snorted coldly and said:
"This Marquis can't stand it! Tell me, what is the name of the head of Dongchang who is in charge of the affairs of Shenglong Mansion now? Why did you send you here to see Ben Hou?"

Hearing this, one of the Dongchang Fanzi in the lead took a step forward, cupped his hands and said:
"I didn't mean to come here with any malicious intentions, but I just wanted to remind Master Hou!"

When Li Hu heard this, his eyes narrowed immediately, and he remembered the things he had encountered during this period of time.

"Reminder of what?"

Dongchang Fanzi immediately cupped his hands and said:
"My east factory spy, just got a piece of information today. Ding Xiu, Guanglu Xun of your country, has already begun to mobilize his cronies. Tomorrow, he will summon Lord Hou in the name of the palace and ambush him in the palace!"

Hearing this, Li Hu's pupils shrank suddenly.

Dongchang fanzi continued to speak at this time:

"My Majesty the Emperor of the Dayun Kingdom, although he hates the king of your country, he loves ministers like the former Taiwei Chen Feng and Aohou. He also told me to wait and pay attention to the news of Lord Hou. So After hearing this news, I will come to remind you immediately!"

Li Hu suppressed the complex emotions of shock, fear, regret, and determination in his heart, stared at his slightly red eyes, and said:
"Why are you so hypocritical! If you hadn't created a strange coincidence in Dongchang before, advocating that this Marquis has the destiny, how could there be today's incident?"

If we talk about before, Li Hu was [-]% or [-]% suspicious of what Dongchang did.Now, he has already concluded that what happened in these days must be the work of Yun Guodong Factory!
There were many plans in advance, waiting for Li Weining to disappear, and then he broke out in one fell swoop, forcing himself into the current dilemma!
Hearing Li Hu's slightly angry scolding, the leader of the Dongchang Fanzi immediately curled his mouth, cupped his hands and said:
"This statement can only be regarded as a compliment from Master Hou!"

When Li Hu heard this, he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, pointed at them, and said angrily:

"Take it, take it all! Send it to the palace to prove my innocence!"

With an order, the guards moved immediately, and they all took a step forward.

These Dongchang fans, at this time, have no fear, and are full of calmness.

Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, Li Hu suddenly spoke again to stop him:

"slow!"

When all the guards heard the words, they immediately stopped.

Li Hu's face was uncertain, and he said in a deep voice:

"Go back!"

This sentence was obviously not addressed to the fans of Dongchang.

After hearing Li Hu's words, all the guards were stunned for a moment, and then retreated from the gate of the courtyard like a tide.

In a short time, in the side courtyard, only Li Hu, who led a group of confidants, and several Dongchang fans were left.

Looking at the Dongchang Fanzi on the opposite side, Li Hu's expression kept changing, and he said in a deep voice:

"You came here just to talk about this?"

When several Dongchang fans saw Li Hu's appearance, they knew that he had lowered his head, and immediately looked at each other and smiled.

The Dongchang Fanzi, who was the leader, immediately opened his mouth and said:

"I waited to come here to help Lord Hou! To be honest, I have a little manpower in the east factory and in your palace. At this time, I can help you!"

Li Hu's face was full of coldness, and he said with a fake smile:

"What a good trick, he was able to stretch his hand into the palace under the eyes of the Dianzhu school officer!"

"Shoddy means, you can't get on the table, you can't get on the table!" The leader of the Dongchang Fanzi bowed his head and smiled.

With a sullen face, Li Hu said:
"The army of the Yun Kingdom will soon invade our Li Dynasty. You have put so much thought into it at this time, what else do you want?"

"Your Majesty said that the Li Dynasty spans thousands of miles and has tens of millions of people. It cannot be swallowed by a single battle. However, His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince of Guiguo, is still young and cannot shoulder the responsibility of state affairs. Moreover, the little prince and I have a big relationship with each other." The enmity of the father will never be eliminated in the future. In order for me, Dayun, to restore the old relationship with the Gui Dynasty and restore peace in the future, I can only ask Lord Hou to help me!"

When Li Hu heard this, his eyes narrowed immediately.

This statement can be regarded as well-founded, and it seems that there is no loophole in it.But the emperor of Yunguo was so talented and sophisticated, could it really be that easy to be satisfied?
Seeing Li Hu's appearance, Dongchang fanzi continued:
"Perhaps my Majesty has something he wants, but why should you hesitate? As you said before, General An Dong of Dayun Kingdom is leading his troops back to the camp of Xiushan County, and will soon lead troops into the border of the Li Dynasty. He Gui Compared with the overthrow of the country and the destruction of the ancestral temple, what is unacceptable?"

Having said that, the leader of the Dongchang Fanzi lowered his head slightly, his eyes faint and authentic:
"What Lord Hou says and does now is to save your country's country and society!"

When Li Hu heard this, a look of hesitation appeared on his face.

In the face of the complete collapse of the kingdom, it seems that the rest of the price is not too important!

Colluding with the enemy is just to save the country with curves!
I am completely thinking about the country and the country...

　Add more tomorrow...
