Chapter 87: King Ngee An, despised by the Red Shadow
When Li Xiaochang heard Chiying's words, he couldn't help but nodded. Because Li Xiaochang knew that Li Tai, the king of Wei, and Wang Yushi had an enmity with each other. It can even be said that Li Tai, the king of Wei, and the five surnamed Qizong have an indissoluble enmity.
And Li Xiaochang is ready to rebel, so he is naturally very concerned about Chang'an City's every move. So when he heard that the person who came was Wang Wen, the housekeeper of Wang Yushi, he couldn't help but believe it.
Of course, if Li Xiaochang knew that Wang Yushi had sent Wang Wen to contact the phantom to assassinate Li Tai. In the end, Wang Wen died. It is estimated that I will not believe the identity of the person on the other side anyway.
Even so, Li Xiaochang will not easily believe in the comers. So he looked at Chiying with an inquiring gaze, and then said, "What happened in Chang'an City, this king doesn't know. It's just that this king is curious, why did you find this king. ”
"The reason why I can find the prince is very simple, today in front of the Ming people, I don't tell lies. Back then, my lord once sent me to contact the killer and assassinate Li Tai, the king of Wei. It's a pity that in the end, things didn't work out, but fortunately, I found out in time and used the strategy of stealing beams for pillars to get myself out. And by chance, I discovered a secret about the prince. Red Shadow pretended to be mysterious and said to Li Xiaochang.
Hearing the words of the assassin shadow, Li Xiaochang couldn't help but widen his eyes. Glaring at the Red Shadow, he said, "What a secret have you discovered?" ”
"Why does the prince have such an expression, I have already said it. once assassinated Li Tai, the king of Wei, which also shows that I am now a person who cannot see the light. So don't worry, I'll leak what I know. With a smile on his face, he looked at Li Xiaochang opposite and said.
"This king has not done anything unfaithful, and what is there to fear you from proclaiming." Li Xiaochang said to Chiying with a disdainful expression.
On the surface, this righteousness that Li Xiao often talks about is awe-inspiring. If it weren't for the fact that his hand had been pressed against the sword he carried. It is estimated that it will really make people believe that what he says is the truth.
And this simple action made Red Shadow even more convinced. Li Tai's inference that Li Xiaochang was preparing to rebel. Maybe Red Shadow can't give Lee Hyo-chang a perfect explanation. It is estimated that Li Xiaochang will pull out the sword from his waist at the first time, so that the red shadow will become the soul of the sword.
When King Ngee Ann said this, he didn't take anyone as a friend at all. You should know the saying that the enemy of your enemy is your friend. So we are now, on the same front. Otherwise, my lord won't, let me come to see the prince. Red Shadow said without changing his face.
"This king really doesn't know what you're talking about, so why don't you say it and listen to it. It can also be regarded as a long insight for this king. Li Xiaochang still smiled and said to Chiying.
"Lord, remove the hand from your sword. Even if you kill me today, it is impossible for no one to know about your conspiracy with Eldest Sun Anye and the others. Because you don't forget, I'm just a housekeeper. Chiying said to Li Xiaochang with a smile.
Hearing the words of the assassin, Li Xiaochang really let go and held the hand of the sword. Because he knew that what Red Shadow said was true. He's just a steward of the imperial history, and even if he kills him, it won't help.
And when I heard the red shadow say the name of the eldest grandson Anye. Li Xiaochang already knew that what he was plotting had been leaked.
Looking at Li Xiaochang, who was surprised, Chiying said with a smile: "Why does the prince have such an expression, my lord is a member of the Taiyuan royal family." The five surnames and seven sects only care about the interests of their own families. I never care who sits in this world. ”
What Red Shadow said made Li Xiaochang nod his head. Because what Red Shadow said is right, the five surnames and seven sects are families that have been inherited for hundreds of years. They have experienced countless court ups and downs. No matter who becomes the emperor, they will get the benefits of their own family from it.
Therefore, the five surnames and seven sects only value the interests of their own families. As long as it is good for them, they will contribute to help. Even if they feel that the other party is not worthy of their support. They will also choose to turn a blind eye because it will bring them the benefits they want.
"Now that the words have come to this, then please explain what the wealth in your mouth is." Li Xiaochang said to the Assassin.
"You should have heard of the Thirty-Three Heavens of Chang'an City, which was the business of Li Tai, the king of Wei. Now the Thirty-Three Heavens sent a large number of people to various places to purchase ancient shell flowers. However, what they claimed to the outside world was that the purchase of cotton ......" Immediately afterwards, Chiying told Li Xiaochang about Gubeihua.
When Li Xiaochang heard that this ancient shell flower could be made into a military uniform to keep out the cold. He couldn't help but have a sparkle in his eyes.
Seeing Li Xiaochang's reaction, Chi Ying waved his hand and said, "Lord Wang, this ancient shell flower is not currently available to you. Even if you get it in your hands, you can't take it out. Because what will expose you first. ”
"Since the king has taken it, you can't use it. So what is the use of this king's desire? Li Xiaochang asked puzzled.
"No matter how good this ancient shell flower is, it can only keep the soldiers warm. And the silver can allow the prince to expand his army again. After smiling mysteriously, Chi Chiying said to Li Xiaochang.
"You mean to say that the king has taken these ancient shells down. And then it can't be sold. Li Xiaochang said after thinking about it.
Hearing Li Xiaochang's words, Chiying couldn't help but secretly shake his head in his heart. secretly said in his heart: "No wonder the lord didn't put him in his eyes, it turned out to be such a straw bag." How can such a person achieve great things? ”
However, Red Shadow's face did not show any contempt. Instead, he agreed, nodded and said, "Although this method of the prince is good, it is not as good as the other method. That is to use the ancient shell flower in his hand to ask Li Tai for more ransom. ”
"Why do you want Li Tai to redeem these things, we just take them out and sell them, isn't it simple and convenient." Li Xiaochang asked puzzled.
"We don't know where these things came from, if the prince takes them out and sells them. The price will definitely be severely suppressed. And the king of Wei was already boasting about Haikou in front of the emperor, if he couldn't get these ancient shell flowers. He will not be able to make a deal in front of the emperor. Red Shadow said with a smile.
"You're right, in this way, he, Li Tai, will want to get these ancient shellfish flowers at any cost. When the time comes, you can knock him hard. Li Xiaochang said with a laugh.
At this time, Li Xiaochang seemed to have seen that a large amount of silver was sent to him by Li Tai, and then he used the silver to arm his army and recruit more soldiers
In that way, I will be more confident and pull Li Shimin off the throne. Then it's up to him to take his place. Maybe that's the typical daydream.
