A night passed.
The people of Chang 'an woke up from their sleep and began a new day.
They still didn't know what earth-shattering event had happened yesterday and thought that everything was as usual.
However, the city was under martial law.
Wei River Manor.
"Here."
Li Xuanqing casually tossed the book in his hand to Wu Mengmeng and said,
"This is for you."
"Cultivate well and don't slack off anymore! If you slack off again, I'll smash your head!"
Pa!
He slapped Wu Mengmeng's head fiercely.
"Aiya! Got it, brother."
Wu Mengmeng nodded obediently in pain.
However, she kept the book in her pocket without even looking at it.
"Aren't you going to take a look?" Li Wuya glared at him.
At least it shouldn't be so obvious!
"What brother gave me is naturally something good.”
Wu Mengmeng said matter-of-factly.
Li Xuanqing was speechless.
What he said made sense, I actually couldn't refute it.
Clack clack.
Footsteps sounded.
"Master, Kuang Sheng requests an audience."
Li Xuanqing's brows twitched slightly.
"It's time for him to appear."
He nodded and said,
"Come in."
Kuang Sheng wore a silk scarf on his head, looking like a scholar as he stepped into the courtyard.
"Greetings, Master, Wu Nv…Miss.”
He wanted to call her "Queen Wu", but he held back.
"What is it?"
Li Xuanqing smiled.
Is there a commotion in Chang 'an?"
Kuang Sheng nodded solemnly.
"Although the news of the King of Qin killing the Crown Prince and King of Qi last night has been sealed and has not spread to the people, it has already caused a huge uproar in the circle of nobles!”
He said in a deep voice,
"The imperial court is in a mess now!”
"The emperor is in seclusion again, he can't respond at all! Right now, it was chaos and a group of dragons without a leader!”
"There are faint signs of unrest!"
Li Xuanqing nodded slightly.
He had expected this situation.
If Li Shiming did such a thing, the storm would not be small!
Li Jiancheng, who had been working hard in Chang 'an over the years, would definitely not be able to sit still when he heard such news!
"These things shouldn't be a problem for Li Shiming, right?”
Li Xuanqing said casually.
"With his methods, he should be able to calm down very quickly.”
"I'm just wondering how long it will take him to completely control the court and Chang 'an.”
Kuang Sheng was stunned for a moment before nodding.
"Master is indeed wise! Li Shi Min was a general on horseback, but he had superb political skills!”
He hurriedly said,
"Last night, he took the initiative to meet with the kings of the imperial clan and announce this matter. For some reason, he actually received the support of all the kings of the imperial clan!”
"Among them, Li Shentong is the governor of the capital and is in charge of all the defenses in the capital.”
"This morning, Chang 'an was under martial law! You're allowed to enter, but you're not allowed to leave!"
"After that, the King of Qin began to purge the Crown Prince's forces. Before I came here, the Crown Prince's hardcore forces should have all been destroyed.”
Li Xuanqing nodded.
"These are all basic operations. It's not surprising that you can casually press them.”
He commented,
"With Li Shi Min's half-step Emperor-to-be cultivation, who would dare to disobey? Whoever doesn't obey is tired of living!"
"Besides, with the death of the Crown Prince, the Emperor's only legitimate son is Li Shi Min. If the Imperial Clan King doesn't support him, who else should he support?”
"Those diehard forces of the Crown Prince must be out of their minds. They're purely courting death.”
Kuang Sheng agreed.
"Clearing out the Crown Prince and King Qi's remnants should be as smooth as my lord says, but His Highness the King of Qin's predicament isn't here.”
He said,
"What he has to face is not these remnants, but His Majesty after he comes out of seclusion!”
"Before His Majesty comes out of seclusion, he must rope in enough forces to stand on his side. Only then can he reduce His Majesty's anger.”
"This is very difficult. Most of the courtiers are watching, and so are the nobles.”
Li Xuanqing was slightly taken aback before shaking his head.
"Even if these people are all determined to stand on Li Shiming's side, what's the use?”
he said softly.
"In the end, this is still a world where martial arts are supreme!”
"Li Yuan has come out of seclusion and has a high chance of breaking through to the Emperor realm. If he wants to get angry, how can some ministers and nobles stop him?”
This was not real history, but the world of cultivators!
If it was in real history, Li Shimin could have forced Li Yuan to abdicate.
But now?
After killing the Crown Prince and King Qi, the only thing he could do was cleanse the remaining forces and stabilize the court.
He still didn't dare to think about that dragon throne!
Even if Li Yuan was determined to kill him after he came out of seclusion, he could only bow his neck and be killed!
"He will definitely be angry. As long as he doesn't kill the King of Qin, the King of Qin might be made the Crown Prince.”
Kuang Sheng laughed.
"After all, with the death of the Crown Prince and King Qi, the Emperor only has one legitimate son.”
"What the King of Qin needs to do now is to do everything possible to make everyone speak up for him so as to reduce His Majesty's anger!”
"Therefore, it's not completely useless to rope in the Imperial Clan King and courtiers.”
"The fate of a dynasty comes from the common people, and the ruler of the world is not just the emperor. The emperor also relies on the ministers and nobles to protect the world.”
"Their opinions have a certain degree of influence.”
This was the strangeness of the world.
Logically speaking, in the world of high martial arts, the strong were respected. Those with big fists could ignore everything!
However, there was also the word "luck" here, which hindered everything and made it impossible for experts to do as they pleased.
The fate of a dynasty depended on the people and the stability of the imperial court.
As the ruler, the emperor who enjoyed the highest level of luck, even if his cultivation was extraordinary, he had to consider the opinions of his subordinates.
The emperor was different from the leaders of other forces.
The fundamental reason why he advanced so quickly was actually because he relied on the millions of living beings below him!
"Alright then."
Li Xuanqing snorted and said,
"Let's just say it's useful. I'll see if he can resist Li Yuan's monstrous anger after recruiting so many people!”
"If he's smart, he should come and beg me! If you beg me to help, the crisis will be resolved! Perhaps I'll be happy and order Li Yuan to abdicate and help him ascend the throne!”
Li Shiming was still a little stupid!
He missed the main point!
"Brother, then I'm going to tell you. It's not that Li Shiming doesn't want to come and beg you, but he really doesn't have any chips left.”
Wu Mengmeng curled her lips and said,
"According to the information I know, the list you made last time almost emptied the foundation of the Heavenly Policy Prefecture over the years.”
"The second list made Li Shi Min overdraft to his grandmother's house, accumulating a lot of debt.”
"He's like a person who owes tens of millions of taels of silver now. Where did he find the courage to ask you for money?”
Li Xuanqing was speechless.
Uh.
It seemed to make sense.
Was he asking for too much?
Li Xuanqing blushed slightly when he thought about the dozens of conditions on the two lists.
"Ahem…Alright."
Li Xuanqing rubbed his nose and instructed,
"Kuang Sheng, Li Shi Min isn't having it easy either. You should arrange for the people from the Smiling Dragon Pavilion to help him.”
"Those cabinet members in the court, please lead the pace and let Li Shimin do the fishing work more easily.”
"Now that he is sending charcoal in the snow, in a few days, he will be successful. The overall strength of the Smiling Dragon Pavilion will naturally rise by several levels!”
The Smiling Dragon Pavilion was different from the Shadow Pavilion.
The members of the Smiling Dragon Pavilion didn't have a high cultivation base, but they were very smart.
These people were divided into two groups-businessmen and prostitutes.
Of course, they weren't high officials, but only minor officials of the sixth or seventh rank.
Don't underestimate these petty officials. They formed the bottom layer of the royal court structure. They were the most numerous and had great influence!
If it was brought up, it would often affect the upper echelons!
"Master, you mean…to help Li Shiming ascend the throne?”
Kuang Sheng's eyes lit up as he asked.
He would soar in a few days? Other than being the emperor, what else could it be?
"Supporting Li Shi Min is in line with my interests and ours.”
Li Xuanqing smiled and said,
"Why not?"
"Actually, I'm not a shady businessman.”
"The after-sales service is definitely top-notch!”
Wu Mengmeng made a face at the side.
"Understood!"
Kuang Sheng left excitedly.
The Laughing Dragon Pavilion had been dormant for many years, and it was finally going to rise!
