"It seems that the emperor is going to give the Wing King this opportunity."

Mr. Mu was right. King Qi and King Yi were both the sons of Zhao Zhi. In some aspects, they were indeed on the same balance line.

"Even if the emperor doesn't give him a chance, will the Wing King give up?"

Mr. Mu sneered: "The emperor told the Wing King several times that what I gave is yours. If I don't give it, you can't rob it. That's it, but what's the result? What should I fight for is still fight, and what should I grab is still gun. If it's not easy, then come to the dark. The Wing King has been in Hedong for the past few years, do you think no one knows about those actions and means?"

Speaking of this, Li Xun also said a little strangely: "Mr. Mu, since the emperor is willing to be King Qi, why should King Yi let King Yi take charge of the military power in Hedong?"

In the 15th year of Guangyuan, after the White Scarf Army was quelled, the government policy became stable.

Chengping changed the reign. When the King of Qi was sixteen years old, he went out to live in Jianfu. Zhao Zhi began to promote the position of the King of Qi in the court. At that time, as the eldest son of Zhao Zhi, the King of Yi had already had a certain status and power in the court. For this reason, Zhao Zhi drove the King of Yi out of the capital, enthroned Hedong Road, and took office as Jinyang. Until Li Xun left to serve as Wuzhou, the King of Yi had not changed at all. However, in the past year, especially after the fire in the palace, the King of Qi was suppressed, but the King of Yi was gradually promoted and valued by Zhao Zhi. He was first appointed as the deputy envoy of the Hedong Road. A few days before the hunting conference, Zhao Zhi went to Zhao again and was appointed as the King of Yidong Road Observation Envoy. In this way, the King of Yi's rights in Hedong Road were already extremely powerful.

Mu Gong looked at Li Xun and said, "Since the end of the Longyou Battle, the emperor has completely taken the initiative in the government affairs and has become the idea of ​​establishing a prince again. Reorganizing the Political Affairs Hall is the first step, transferring Li Zhong back to the court and marrying the daughter of King Qi and Yuwen Zhen is the second step."

Li Xun asked, "What are the plans of the emperor?"

"The emperor is preparing to make the King of Qi the crown prince, let Yuwen Zhen control the power of the imperial guards, and let the King of Yi take control of the military power of Hedong. One of them is inside and the other is outside, complementing each other, relying on each other, and assisting the King of Qi."

Li Xun shook his head: "The Wing King may not be willing."

If this happens, the Wing King would be the vassal of Hedong as a real vassal. Although he had military power and foundation in his hands, he completely lost the possibility of inheriting the throne. For the Wing King, anything is secondary to the throne.

Mr. Mu said in a quiet voice: "The Wing King may not be willing, but on the surface, he will not show it. Instead, he caters to the emperor very much, especially since he presented the Golden Pill and Jiu Niang, and before you, he has transported one million Dan food from Hedong to Fengjing. In this regard, the emperor was very happy and loved and trusted the Wing King more and more."

After hearing this, Li Xun remained silent. His thoughts were a little confused now. Perhaps it was the complexity and chaos of the current government and situation that Li Xun didn't know how to deal with it.

Mr. Mu looked at Li Xun and said softly: "Before I left, King Wing had met the emperor secretly and took the initiative to ask to go to Wuzhou to be the emperor Mubian. The emperor was quite moved by this suggestion."

Li Xun clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "I'm in Wuzhou and I'm not doing anything wrong."

"It's because you did a good job that you caused trouble."

Li Xun said in confusion: "Mr. Mu, what do you mean?"

Mr. Mu asked back: "How much do you know about the emperor?"

Li Xun didn't expect that Mu Gong would ask this question, and was stunned there, pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head: "I don't understand the emperor's thoughts."

He has been with Zhao Zhi for several years. Before he arrived in Longyou, Li Xun often entered the palace and could meet Zhao Zhi several times a month. The relationship between the two was quite close. In the past, Li Xun thought that Zhao Zhi was gloomy and taciturn, and was not a person who was easy to deal with. But at least he was very good to his aunt Li Yi and cousin Zhao Xun, and was also very close to him. Now when he heard Mr. Mu's question, Li Xun suddenly realized that he really didn't know much about Zhao Zhi.

Mu Gong said silently: "The Emperor is actually a very ostentatious person. Compared with Pingzong, the Emperor... is even more happy with merit."

"Mr. Mu, why do you say that? The emperor has been very low-key for more than 20 years since he succeeded to the throne. He has not shown any abnormality."

Li Xun looked at Mu Gong in shock, but he didn't expect that he would have such an evaluation of Zhao Zhi.

Mu Gong sighed, "I have been with the emperor for nearly forty years. How can I not understand what kind of person is the emperor? I remember very clearly that after the late emperor recalled the emperor from the people, and the emperor became the prince, he would be filled with wine, meat and forests, singing and dancing every day, until the ministers impeached and the prince took the opportunity to sue. The late emperor was furious and the emperor almost lost his life because of this. From then on, he was greatly restrained."

Speaking of this, Mu Gong hiccupped and continued, "Do you know what the first thing the emperor did after becoming the prince? Haha, he sent someone to slaughter the entire village where he once lived. None of the people who had seen the emperor fall and out survived. At that time..."

Li Xun's whole body was shocked and he looked at Mu Gong. The latter's face was flushed and his eyes were blurred. He was obviously a little drunk. The stamina of Luofu wine was really quite strong.

"Mr. Mu, you are drunk."

Li Xun grabbed Mu Gong and stopped him from continuing to speak. Such a rebellious word involved Zhao Zhi's best. If outsiders heard it, neither he nor Mu Gong would survive.

Mu Gong was silent. After a long time, he might have recovered and said silently: "Since the emperor ascended the throne, there were Yang Daosi and Liu Jie inside, and there were strong enemies around him. The major military governors and vassal states were unruly and disobeyed the court. The emperor..."

Speaking of this, Mr. Mu shook his head and sighed: "As aged, I can't hide anything."

Mr. Mu picked up the wine jar and wanted to drink again. Li Xun held his hand and shook his head: "Mr. Mu, stop drinking. Although wine is good, too much will hurt your body."

Mr. Mu nodded, smiled, and retracted his hand.

"Mr. Mu, you just said that the Wing King intends to take office as Wuzhou and replace me. The emperor is quite moved by this. What should I do?"

"I am no longer by the emperor's side. I don't know much about the situation and can't help you, but there is also a process in this matter, and I can tell you how to know."

"Please tell me, Mr. Mu."

Mr. Mu said: "The Wing King wants to go to Wuzhou and replace your current position. He did not only say it once, but it was three times in total."

Li Xun interrupted, "When did it start?"

"After the establishment of the Maritime Department is completed."

Mr. Mu continued: "The two previous comments from King Wing, who wanted to go to Wuzhou, were directly rejected by the emperor. However, a few months ago, after the fire in the palace, I began to be alienated by the emperor. Wang Anmao was transferred to the emperor to recognize things. During a discussion with the ministers of the Political Affairs Hall, he talked about you. Wang Anmao said at that time, "Your Majesty, you didn't like Li Xun at the time, but just asked him to go to Wuzhou to experience it. This is not a mistake. Li Xun did a good job in Wuzhou."

After hearing this, Li Xun's face suddenly became gloomy. When Wang Anmao said this, even if Li Xun was not present, he could still think of Zhao Zhi's mood at that time. It turns out that the source of the matter came from here? 2k Reading Network
