Chapter 121 Killing two birds with one stone
Wen Xue's firm tone shocked Li Feng. Although he didn't understand Wen Xue's reason for choosing him, she was willing to let go. If he dragged on himself, he would be too unmanly.
Li Feng reached forward and tried to hug Wen Xue. Wen Xue did not resist, so Li Feng hugged her tightly in his arms: "I will treat you well."
Wen Xue said coldly: "After getting married, the daily martial arts time will be extended."
Before getting married, Li Feng began to regret it. He understood why Wen Xue chose him. She just wanted to experience the sense of accomplishment of cultivating a master. As for the relationship between men and women, she didn't care at all.
"You go back first, I still have something to do here."
"What's the matter?"
"Jinse went to Qingfeng Mountain for several days but didn't come back. I want to send someone to see what's going on."
"I'll go."
Wen Xue recommended herself and left before Li Feng agreed to her, and took away Li Feng's Ahard Golden Horse.
After Wen Xue left, Xiao Junzhe also came out of the military camp and went back to submit a memorial to Li Yuan, telling him about Li Feng and Wen Xue's marriage.
When Li Yuan received a memorial from Xiao Junzhe, he was even more confused. Why did Li Feng have contact with the Wen family in Wenzhou? The difference between the two places is 108,000 miles.
"Come here for Taiwei Xuan Zhao."
Not long after, Zhao Yan brought Zhao Kang to Zichen Hall, and Li Yuan threw Xiao Junzhe's memorial to Zhao Yan and his son: "Why does King You have contact with the Wen family?"
Zhao Yan looked at Zhao Kang, and Zhao Kang shook his head.
Zhao Yan suddenly thought of a possibility, could it be that the marriage that the late emperor had arranged for King You during his lifetime? Otherwise, King You would not have any chance of getting along with Wenzhou at all.
"Your Majesty, this may be the marriage that the late emperor had made for King You during his lifetime."
"Last Emperor? Why no one knows?"
Zhao Yan didn't speak, and everyone knew that the late emperor favored Li Feng, so it was not impossible for Li Feng to secretly find a backer.
Li Yuan also understood what Zhao Yan meant. Perhaps this was really what the Emperor said, but his death was too sudden and he had not allowed Li Feng and Wen Xue to marry.
Thinking of this, Li Yuan was upset. He suddenly ascended the throne before he could accept all the power of Li Rui, which made him passive in many things.
"The Wen family in Wenzhou is the founding hero of my Daqian. What did Taiwei Zhao think?"
Zhao Yan said: "Good thing."
Li Yuan didn't understand, Zhao Yan said: "The Wen family in Wenzhou has achieved great achievements in founding the country and has strong independence. Eighty-most all the officials in Wenzhou are from the Wen family. There are rumors that Wen Ming's words are more effective than imperial edicts in Wenzhou, just like a country in the country."
"Although the Wen family has made great contributions to the founding of the country, they have been so arrogant and domineering to this day. It is really a problem for me. However, Wenzhou's tax revenue is extremely high, and the Wen family has nothing special, so it is difficult to understand.
"But King You and the Wen family united. As long as King You rebelled, His Majesty could implicate the Wen family and eliminate this disaster in one fell swoop."
Zhao Yan's words made Li Yuan tempted, killing two birds with one stone. He could get rid of the Youwang who threatened him, and he could also remove a nail that was tied to Daqian's body. It was really a killing two birds with one stone.
"Look at Taiwei Zhao, what should I do?"
Zhao Yan said: "Force him to rebel."
Li Yuan also had this idea, and wanted to prevent his reputation from being damaged. Only by letting Li Feng rebel could he justify the rebellion. In this way, even if Li Feng was killed, it would be fine.
According to Li Yuan and Zhao Yan's perception of Li Feng, his rebellion was only a matter of time, but the longer it took, the more unfavorable it was for Li Yuan.
"Master Zhao sees how to force King You to rebel?"
Zhao Yan suddenly showed reluctance: "Xiao Junzhe is in Youzhou. He is a good student and a good official. But for His Majesty's great cause, he can only sacrifice him."
"Youwang is irritable. As long as Xiao Junzhe does something that angers him, he will definitely kill Xiao Junzhe in rage. Once Xiao Junzhe dies, Youwang will have no choice but to rebel."
Zhao Yan's very spicy plan made Li Yuan feel alert. He thought to himself that after getting rid of Li Feng, the next step was to kill Zhao Yan.
Li Yuan also pretended to be sad: "Xiao Junzhe is a good official, but for the sake of his hard work and the stability of the people, he had to sacrifice him."
The three of them together issued an imperial edict to Xiao Junzhe, and all the imperial edicts asked Xiao Junzhe to do something that would anger Li Feng.
The new imperial edict was soon sent to Xiao Junzhe.
The imperial edict also came with Li Feng's biological mother, prince Li Tong, and former eunuch general manager Hai.
The three of them quietly entered Youzhou from the small gate.
Before coming, the empress dowager was ready to suffer, but when she arrived at the city of Youzhou, she thought she had returned to the capital.
The Empress Dowager remembered that the poor Youzhou was poor and poor. People came and went from inside and outside the city, and the people who came and went were quite rosy on their faces. This place was not barren and poor, but was clearly an extremely wealthy prefecture and county.
"Is this Youzhou under my son's rule?"
Li Tong also looked out curiously, while Eunuch Hai who was following behind was even more excited. King You was outstanding in talent and the possibility of defeating Li Yuan was greater.
Eunuch Wei, who was escorting all the way, said: "These are all the contributions of the prince."
The Empress Dowager was extremely happy and said several words to me that I am capable.
The three of them entered the city and came directly to the You Palace. Unfortunately, Li Feng was not there, and there was only Su Mei in the Palace.
Su Mei heard the noise in the backyard and met the queen mother. She didn't know each other, but the queen mother had already realized that this was Li Fengyang's concubine in the mansion.
Just after looking at Su Mei, the Empress Dowager didn't like it. She was too charming and could be a concubine, but she must not be a full wife.
"This is the You Prince's Mansion, who are you?"
Eunuch Hai stood up and put on the airs of the eunuch general manager: "Bold, don't kneel down when you see the Empress Dowager."
Su Mei was shocked, Empress Dowager? Isn’t that the mother of King You? Isn’t she in the capital? Why did she come to Youzhou? Su Mei was a little unbelievable, but the other party’s graceful demeanor could not be pretended.
Eunuch Wei came out and said, "She is the mother of the current Queen Mother and King You."
Su Mei then knelt down to greet her, but the empress dowager was no longer happy. She didn't even look at Su Mei and pulled Li Tong straight into the back.
"The You Palace also needs to establish a stylistic state, not even a cat or a dog can come in."
Su Mei's eyes were red when she was said, and she didn't understand why she offended the Queen Mother.
Wei Dongting said: "Empress, your whereabouts cannot be exposed, otherwise the news will be unfavorable to the prince if it reaches the ears of the pseudo-emperor."
"Yes, I can't let others know that I am in Youzhou. Eunuch Hai, go and tell the servants of the Youwang Mansion that who dares to gossip and destroy the nine tribes of his family."
Eunuch Hai went down, and the Empress Dowager led Li Tong to visit the palace.
The Youwang Mansion is not small in size, but it is far inferior to the imperial palace. The Empress Dowager walked around and went to the side courtyard. She saw several weapons in the courtyard. She thought it was used by Li Feng to practice martial arts, and she was extremely satisfied.
"It seems that Feng'er has grown up."
While talking, a strong figure fell from the sky and landed steadily in the center of the yard.
The queen mother was shocked, and her tone changed: "Assassin, protect the carriage!"
