Chapter 388 East Palace 1 Chang'an after the snow, the air is fresh and refreshing.
As far as the eye can see, the ridge of the roof, the trees on the side of the road, and the bright yellow cornices of the palaces in the Imperial City of Miyagi not far away, are covered in silver, and they are particularly enchanting against the background of the red sun.
The people of Chang'an City woke up and suddenly realized that today's Chang'an City is really different from the past.
The forbidden troops stationed in the garrison were not only on duty at their posts, but also all the people on duty were all dispatched under the leadership of the generals, and at some point they had cleared all the snow on the main roads in the city.
Looking at the Shence army soldiers who were carrying snow removal equipment and marching in a solemn and silent manner to return to the barracks, the powerful people of Chang'an were all amazed and praised, and it was indeed the Shence army under the command of Kong Sheng, and it was really different from the army East Palace.
In the main hall of the crown prince Li Yu, a group of henchmen led by Li Kui and Ma Ping gathered, who were almost the backbone of Li Yu's princeling.
This is the first time that Li Yu's faction has gathered to discuss matters since Li Yu was canonized as the crown prince by the emperor and suppressed and seized power.
Since that day, Li Yu has maintained a strange silence, his style has changed greatly, from extremely strong to low-key, giving people the feeling that Li Yu is afraid, and in order not to cause greater suppression by the emperor, he has clamped his tail and behaved.
In fact, Li Yu and these people knew very well in their hearts that Li Yu's attitude was just observing the opportunity to prepare for it.
With Li Yu's character and the political and military reserves that he has been planning for a long time, it is impossible for him to be depressed and let others slaughter him.
The current situation in the court does not seem to be favorable to Li Yu, in fact, Li Yu is still the largest person in power in Chang'an City from the emperor down.
As the crown prince and the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he can legally and justifiably intervene in court politics, and even influence the forbidden army and the Tang army and horses controlled by Kong Sheng.
Li Yu's deep gaze fell on Li Kuo, Li Kuo coughed dryly, got up and hugged his fists and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister has received news that King Zhao has led his army to Luoyang, the eastern capital, and joined forces with Zhang Hao in Luoyang, but he is currently holding his troops still. ” The corners of Li Yu's mouth twitched slightly, he was not interested in the march of the Li family, because in his opinion, it was impossible for the Li family to control the army in his hands in a short period of time, and among the tens of thousands of troops and horses he commanded, 100% of the generals were his henchmen, and King Zhao was a decoration and a puppet.
As for counterinsurgency, Li Yu looked down on the Li family even more.
In his eyes, in addition to himself, most of the emperor's sons are wine bags and rice bags, and they spend all their time drinking and having fun, all of them are experts, and if they really want to act in state affairs and lead the army to fight, they are all waste.
The Li family may be stronger than other princes, but if you want to say that the Li family dares to go into battle, I don't believe that Li Yu will be killed.
He still cares about Chang'an City under his feet.
Li Yu paused, and said softly: "Kong Sheng handed over the military affairs of the Shence Army to Nan Jiyun, and the affairs of the Shenlongwei to Nangong Wang, and he hid in the Chang'an Hou Mansion and did not come out, living in a simple house as in the past, his whereabouts were secretive, except for the daily routine court meetings, he was almost not visible. ” Li Shi, the king of Fengjie County, suddenly interjected on the side: "Father, from the son's point of view, the Shence army under Kong Sheng's command has a strict military appearance and uniform order, and the military discipline is strict, which is really not to be underestimated.
The son heard that in the past two days, Kong Sheng had personally ordered the beheading of several troublemakers who harassed the people to drink and make trouble, and hung their heads outside the barracks for public display. ” Li Yu let out a sigh of relief, nodded slowly, and said, "That's right."
Kong Sheng's son is good at governing the army, and the city government's methods are superior, in the past, it was indeed the palace that underestimated him.
Ladies and gentlemen, the main root cause of our previous defeat is that we are overconfident and underestimate the enemy.
This palace has been thinking about it behind closed doors for the past two days, and I always feel that the past is really absurd and full of loopholes, and since then, this palace will work harder with you, as long as we take it step by step and do not let others seize the opportunity, in the future" A grim smile appeared on the corner of Li Yu's mouth: "This palace believes that the final victory still belongs to us."
"Your Highness is wise" Li Kuo and the others nodded yes one after another, thinking so.
In fact, the matter is obvious, as long as Li Yu, the crown prince, does not make mistakes and maintains a certain amount of power and proportion, the emperor has no excuse to depose, and the emperor is now old and will die one day, and at that time, the emperor's throne is still in Li Yu's palm.
"But this doesn't mean that our East Palace can be bullied by others, listen, after a while, for those dizzy bastards who don't have long eyes, this palace will clean up three or two to set an example," Li Yusen said.
Li Kuo and the others were shocked, and hung their heads in fear.
They knew that Li Yu was talking about those "wallheads" and traitors who changed the direction of the wind and took refuge in the emperor.
Li Yu was indifferent to some people's backlash on the surface, but in fact, he kept it firmly in his heart, and once the opportunity came, he would inevitably take revenge explosively.
And if anyone thinks that the yellow prince Li Yu is a soft persimmon and wants to pinch it, then the rebound of Li Yu triggered by it will be even more stormy.
Li Yu glanced at Li Kuo, "You go on." ” "Shenlongwei set up a mansion outside the noon gate, in addition to selecting people from the army, but also recruited people from all walks of life to vote for the present, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military are jealous of Shenlongwei, Your Highness, the minister thinks that when the time is ripe in the future, I still have to play Your Majesty" Li Shi echoed on the side: "Yes."
Father, the son is worried that Kong Sheng will pretend to be His Majesty's order to expand his power through the so-called Divine Dragon Guard, which will inevitably be a big problem for our henchmen in the future, and must be eradicated as soon as possible."
Li Yu smiled coldly: "This is the arrangement of my father, which of you dares to stop Obviously, Your Majesty wants to supervise the ministers through the Shenlong Guard, and at the same time supervise the palace, which is no different from the internal guards of the previous dynasty However, we don't need to be afraid of worrying about anything, the palace is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and his words and deeds are above board, all for the sake of the Tang Dynasty."
If Kong Sheng dared to wreak havoc on Chang'an in the name of Shenlongwei, the palace would never spare him."
Li Kui and Li Shi glanced at each other and shook their heads secretly.
In the eyes of the two, Li Yu should lead his ministers to write as soon as possible, even if the emperor can't cancel the action of establishing the Shenlongwei Duwei Mansion, a secret agency, he must do his best to reduce the various powers of Shenlongwei to a minimum, so as to avoid Shenlongwei becoming a mysterious force controlled by the emperor and Kong Sheng in the future, which is enough to make the Chang'an magnates and the Donggong family tremble.
Li Yu didn't understand the intentions of the two, but he knew better than anyone else that at least in this matter, he couldn't object.
One is that the current emperor is very sensitive, and whoever stands up against it is against the emperor and is hated by the emperor; The second is that the emperor is very resolute, the matter of Shenlongwei has been planned for a long time, and it is not something that can be stopped by the opposition of the courtiers, if the emperor is angry, an edict will turn the Shenlongwei on the surface into underground activities again, just like the shadow guard that suddenly appeared, then, in fact, it is not a good thing for the East Palace; Third, from the standpoint of the emperor and the imperial family, Li Yu actually believes that this is a feasible way to consolidate the imperial power and the interests of the imperial family.
This kind of thing, even if Li Heng doesn't do it, he will do it when he becomes the emperor, which is in line with the overall interests of the Li Tang royal family, why should he oppose it "Your Highness, the minister heard it today, Li Fuguo resigned to His Majesty and asked to leave the palace to retire and return to the field.
His Majesty had already approved it, and he led 124 people from the East Palace to live in seclusion in the Ten Kings' Mansion that day, and gave him a batch of gold and silver treasures.
Li Kuo said again.
Li Yu was silent.
Li Fuguo had just thrown himself into the palace and became a victim of the power struggle in the palace, but Li Yu had no sympathy for his tragic end.
It's just that he is slightly regretful, because of Li Fuguo's fall from grace and loss of power, he has lost important eyes and ears by the emperor's side.
Li Yu was silent for a while, and said softly: "Yu Chaoen replaced Li Fuguo and became the provincial eunuch of the Inner Chamberlain, controlling His Majesty's side and the power of Daming Palace.
This person is more arrogant and greedy than Li Fuguo, but that doesn't mean that he can't be used by me.

Shi'er, choose a time, hold the token of the main palace, and meet with that fish Chaoen for a while, and test his attitude" Li Shi bowed down and promised: "My son obeys orders" Li Hua glanced back at Ma Ping, who was sitting behind him, Ma Ping smiled knowingly, and also got up and said respectfully: "Your Highness, the minister is familiar with a person in the palace who can be used by His Highness." ” Li Yu sighed: "Who?"
"This person's name is Cheng Yuanzhen, and he is now one of the permanent servants in the province.
This person and Yu Chaoen have always been incompatible, and his heart is forbearing, and he thinks that this person can be used by the East Palace.
Ma Ping bowed.
Li Yu pondered for a moment and nodded: "Most of the eunuchs in the palace are greedy for money, Ma Ping, lure with heavy money, and see if this person can be used by the palace."
If this person knows the current affairs, the palace will reuse him in the future. ” At this moment, a little eunuch in Tsing Yi hurriedly came to report and knelt down on the top of the main hall: "Your Highness, the queen's mother has arrived, saying that she understands His Highness's assistance to His Majesty in state affairs, and specially sends ten beautiful dancers trained by the Teaching Workshop Division, and ten altars of grapes and wine for tribute from the Western Regions." ” Li Yu was stunned.
He and Empress Zhang have always been incompatible, he has never looked down on Empress Zhang, and has never had any dealings with the queen, at this time, Empress Zhang suddenly gave herself a gift and seemed to faintly reveal what she wanted to do In a sense, he, the prince of the East Palace and the prince of the Tang Dynasty, is a natural enemy with Empress Zhang, and the contradictions are irreconcilable.
In order to ensure her power, Empress Zhang must elect her son as the emperor, but her son is too young to become a climate at all, and he is never taken seriously by Li Yu.
Li Yu didn't believe that Empress Zhang had suddenly changed her temperament and wanted to join forces with her.
He pondered again and again before he said lightly: "Given by the queen's mother, this palace does not dare not accept it."
Tell someone from the queen's palace, and say that the palace will enter the palace another day to pay respects to Xie Niangniang's grace in person. ” The little eunuch in Tsing Yi went as promised.
But before the little eunuch walked out of the palace, he heard Li Yu say loudly again: "Give a box of beautiful jade pearls treasured by the palace to the queen's mother, and say that it is the heart of the palace." ” Another little eunuch hurriedly entered the hall and reported: "Your Highness, Chang'an Hou, General Shence, Governor of Shenlongwei Governor's Mansion, and Prince Young Master Kong Sheng ask to see you."
The little eunuch's report shocked the courtiers in the entire palace, including Li Yu.
Li Yu frowned, his heart is also a strange thing today, the queen suddenly came to give gifts, and Kong Sheng, who was incompatible with herself, suddenly visited, it was really evil.
Li Yu looked around at everyone, and Li Shi arched his hand on the side and said: "Father, Kong Sheng is also the crown prince and young master, and he is also a subordinate official of the East Palace, so it is natural for him to come to pay homage to his father." ” "Okay, let's wait for the first retreat, the palace will meet with Kong Sheng for a while, and see his intentions."
Li Yu waved his hand and said in a deep voice. oshow7 t1706231537:
