Dynasty Summons: Low-key Hegemony

In Kyoto, the royal study room of the imperial palace has now become the place where the eldest princess Li Mujun handles memorials.

"Oh, I'm so tired!"

In front of the desk, Li Mujun stood up and stretched. His face was a little tired, but his eyes were full of satisfaction.

A pair of beautiful eyes glanced at the empty dragon chair in the middle, and a trace of passion flashed in her eyes. She wanted to sit on it.

In addition to representing the supreme power of the Yu Dynasty, the dragon chair is also a rare treasure that can gather the extremely pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth. After sitting on it, the true energy in the body can be automatically cultivated, making the spirit a hundred times stronger.

Even a mediocre person can become a genius after sitting on the throne.

Unfortunately, in addition to Liu Jin, there were two elders from the royal family waiting in the imperial study room.

"Liu Jin, it has been a few days since the imperial army and Prince Yu arrived in Fengzhou and Lianzhou. What is the current situation of the battle between the two?"

Li Mujun took advantage of his free time to look at Liu Jin who was waiting quietly and asked.

Liu Jin bowed slightly and said respectfully:
"Reporting to the eldest princess, King Yu of Lianzhou and King Chu have been fighting each other for a few days, and they are still in the trial stage. After King Heng and Shangguan Zhenyu arrived in Fengding City, apart from Shangguan Zhenyu and Lu Bu fighting once, there has been no large-scale battle for the time being. Fight."

Li Mujun looked surprised and sighed: "I have to say that Li Yuan is quite capable. I thought that Li Yuan would only retreat in the face of the attack from King Yu and the imperial army, but I didn't expect that he could still stop the two armies. , so that they cannot step into their own territory."

Liu Jin did not reply, but lowered his head even lower.

The two clan elders kept their eyes tightly closed and ignored what Li Mujun said.

As long as the eldest princess does not do anything beyond her bounds, they will know nothing and listen to nothing here.

Li Mujun glanced at Liu Jin, who was silent, and flashed a hint of anger. She had shown her intention to recruit Liu Jin many times, but Liu Jin just pretended to be deaf and dumb.

Li Mujun really wanted to remove Liu Jin, but Liu Jin was the palace manager appointed by Li Yao. She would only have the chance to replace Liu Jin unless Liu Jin made a big mistake.

But there are expert factories all over the palace and even Kyoto, so how could she possibly catch Liu Jin?

"Liu Jin, bring these memorials to Prime Minister Lin and say that I have agreed." Li Mujun said calmly.

She doesn't lack Liu Jin now. After that guy Li Heng left Kyoto, she could say that even if she shook her feet, the court would tremble three times.

Many ministers also intend to get closer to her, and now Li Mujun has recruited many talents under his command.

"Yes."

Liu Jin immediately said respectfully, took two steps forward, picked up the memorial and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, go and summon Shangguan Yushi." Li Mujun thought for a while and then said.

"Yes."

Liu Jin's expression did not waver at all.

Shangguan Wan'er, this name has gradually caused waves in the court. When Li Heng left, Li Mujun's first order was to promote Shangguan Wan'er to the position of supervisory censor, with the duty of supervising the court officials.

Half an hour later, a beautiful woman wearing the royal official uniform stepped into the royal study.

"I pay my respects to Your Highness."

Shangguan Wan'er stood in the middle of the royal study and bowed to Li Mujun.

"There's no need to be polite, Wan'er. I'll give you a seat." Li Mujun watched Shangguan Wan'er arrive, his eyes slightly curved with a sincere smile.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Shangguan Wan'er stood up casually, walked a few steps to the side, found a suitable seat, and sat down. She straightened her back, put her hands on her knees, and looked at Li Mujun, as if she was obeying seriously.

After Li Mujun saw Shangguan Wan'er sit down, he couldn't wait to ask:

"Wan'er, how have you been doing recently when I asked you to contact Jiang Jingfeng, the commander of the secret guards?"

Shangguan Wan'er's eyes moved slightly. Jiang Jingfeng, who was once the commander of the secret guards, angered Li Yao and divided the position of commander of the secret guards into four. Among these four commanders, Li Mujun showed his intention to recruit. , only this Jiang Jingfeng was a little shaken, so Li Mujun immediately took action and sent his most capable assistant Shangguan Wan'er to win over him.

Shangguan Wan'er glanced at the two clan elders standing next to them like old tree roots, clasped her fists at Li Mujun and said:

"Commander Jiang does have a preference for us, but he has a condition. If His Highness can agree to him, he can surrender to Your Highness."

Li Mujun's eyes widened and he asked quickly:
"What conditions?"

"He hopes that His Highness can resume his position as the commander of the secret guard." Shangguan Wan'er reported honestly.

"Reinstate him as the commander of the secret guard?" Li Mujun immediately frowned, this was a bit difficult to handle.

Previously, because Li Yao had Liu Jin's expert factory, he was able to suppress the secret guards and divide the power of one person into four.

If he wants to restore his position as the commander of the secret guard, the other three commanders will definitely disagree, and he has not subdued Liu Jin. This will be difficult.

Li Mujun shook his head and said: "No, I recruited him because of his status as the secret guard commander. If I can easily appoint the commander, why bother to recruit Jiang Jingfeng so much."

Before Shangguan Wan'er could speak, Li Mujun continued with a sad face: "However, it's not good for us to reject him like this. We finally found a breakthrough among the secret guard leaders, and just rejecting him like this is tantamount to destroying this road. broken."

Shangguan Wan'er's eyes rolled, and she already had some thoughts in her heart. Just when she was about to speak, she heard Li Mujun say thoughtfully: "Let's promise him first, and then tell him that we can appoint him as the commander of the secret guard, but we can't appoint him easily. As the commander of the secret guard, at least it depends on his performance."

Li Mujun clapped his hands fiercely, as if he thought he had thought of a good idea, and said happily: "Yes, let's do it like this."

Shangguan Wan'er sighed slightly with her open mouth, Rou Yi rubbed her head to relieve the pain.

This kind of trick of the White Wolf with empty gloves can be known at a glance, let alone a secret guard commander.

How could Jiang Jingfeng be fooled?

"Wan'er, what do you think of my idea?" Li Mujun said slightly proudly.

"Your Highness is extremely intelligent, and none of my subordinates can match him." Shangguan Wan'er praised him with her hands raised.

As soon as she spoke, the eyelids of the two clan elders who had been keeping their eyes tightly closed moved slightly.

"Haha, okay, then I'll leave this matter to you." Li Mujun walked slowly to Shangguan Wan'er, patted her shoulder, and said happily.

Shangguan Wan'er's eyes showed a trace of helplessness and she replied: "Yes!"

"With Wan'er taking action, I feel relieved."

Li Mujun put his hand on Shangguan Wan'er's shoulder and looked at her very affectionately, the trust in his eyes almost overflowing.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will never betray His Highness's trust."

Shangguan Wan'er's eyes flashed with her head lowered. If she hadn't known that Jiang Jingfeng was originally from King Heng, it would have been impossible for her to complete this arduous task.

………………

Soon Shangguan Wan'er left the palace, and her entourage drove the carriage to the left and right, and arrived at an ordinary small courtyard.

Shangguan Wan'er stood in the middle of the courtyard. There was no one in the courtyard at the moment.

"Miss Shangguan, has the eldest princess agreed to my request?" Suddenly a voice came from behind Shangguan Wan'er. The speaker was wearing a dark blue robe covering his entire body from head to toe, with a picture of dark clouds covering the moon carved on the chest of the robe. night view.

Jiang Jingfeng suddenly appeared behind the courtyard gate, his whole body covered by a blue robe, looking directly at Shangguan Wan'er with a pair of sharp eyes.

Shangguan Wan'er felt a faint sting in her back, narrowed her eyes, turned around, met Jiang Jingfeng's gaze, and said solemnly:
"Commander Jiang, you should know that your demands are too high. If the eldest princess has the ability to re-appoint you as the commander of the secret guard, there is no need to win over you.

If you appoint any of the other three commanders, they will also serve the eldest princess. "

However, Jiang Jingfeng didn't listen to Shangguan Wan'er's explanation at all. He snorted coldly, then turned and left.

"Huh! In that case, just pretend I haven't been here."

Seeing Jiang Jingfeng turn around and leave, Shangguan Wan'er stood still and said calmly:
"But we have a way to get the best of both worlds. I wonder if Commander Jiang is willing to listen."

Sure enough, Jiang Jingfeng's figure immediately stopped.

Shangguan Wan'er didn't pay attention to his actions and said to herself:
"With Commander Jiang alone, it is difficult for Her Royal Highness the Princess to appoint you as the Commander of the Secret Guards. However, if Commander Jiang can win over another Commander of the Secret Guards, the Princess can resume your status as the Commander of the Secret Guards."

The sharp eyes under the blue robe flashed, and with his back to Shangguan Wan'er, he sneered: "Haha, as expected of Miss Shangguan, what a good plan, not only to win over me, but also to use my hand to win over another commander."

Shangguan Wan'er ignored Jiang Jingfeng's sarcasm and said calmly:

"I wonder what Commander Jiang thinks?"

Jiang Jingfeng turned around and looked at Shangguan Wan'er quietly.

Shangguan Wan'er looked straight into his eyes with a calm expression.

After a long time, Jiang Jingfeng finally spoke: "Okay, but I need Miss Shangguan's help."

Shangguan Wan'er finally smiled: "No problem."

"However, Commander Jiang, you have seen our sincerity, so it's time for us to see your sincerity as well."

Jiang Jingfeng's eyes narrowed: "What do you want?"

"I want all the information on Lu Xunlu Shangshu!"

"it is good!"

........................

At the same time that Shangguan Wan'er met with Jiang Jingfeng to reach an agreement, Li Mujun had returned to the palace to meet a mysterious man.

"Chengfeng, how was it when I sent you to investigate the situation in Yang and Liang states before?"

In the secret room, Li Mujun looked at a very handsome middle-aged man in front of him. He had sharp eyebrows and a high nose, a face like bronze, three long beards hanging down his chest, and a stern gaze.

If any court official saw this person, he would definitely exclaim, Duan Chengfeng, the right minister of the Ministry of War.

"Princess, although King Yu personally led most of his elite troops into Lianzhou, he was already on guard against us. He sent two famous generals and 30 elite troops to guard the border of Yangzhou." Duan Chengfeng replied calmly, but Li Mujun She didn't see the worry flashing in his eyes, but snorted coldly:
"Humph, if King Yu is not careful, he will not be King Yu."

"If you are sent to take action, are you sure that we can defeat King Yu's army guarding the border?" Li Mujun looked at Duan Chengfeng and asked.

Duan Chengfeng's eyes flashed and his brows furrowed slightly.

Li Mujun's heart skipped a beat when he saw the change in Duan Chengfeng's expression.

If he wants to backstab King Yu and attack Yangzhou and Liangzhou, he must send his most trusted people there.

Duan Chengfeng was the first person to support her. Without Duan Chengfeng's help, she would not have been able to jump left and right in front of the three kings.

Therefore, the person Li Mujun trusted the most was Duan Chengfeng.

There were countless generals in the Yu Dynasty, and Duan Chengfeng was also a well-known top general. He had guarded important border areas, experienced mountains of corpses and seas of blood, had countless rich combat experiences, and had extremely deep qualifications, so he won the position of Minister of War.

The most talked-about thing is that Duan Chengfeng fought for more than ten years and returned to the court as an official for more than ten years, but he never married and had children.

"Chengfeng, are you sure?" Li Mujun asked nervously again.

Duan Chengfeng knew what Li Mujun was thinking and sighed slightly:
"Elder Princess, Zhongzhou's military strength is now low enough for defense. It is difficult to send a large army to fight."

Li Mujun said: "I have discussed with Wan'er. After King Yu fights with King Chu, we will secretly contact King Chu to cooperate with him and ask him to hold off King Yu. Then we will make the imperial army retreat, and we will immediately guard all the passes. The soldiers rushed to Yangzhou, and then the retreating imperial army filled the gap we drew.

We can at least send 60 troops to attack Yangzhou and Liangzhou. "

Duan Chengfeng still shook his head and said: "Princess, King Yu will always pay attention to the movements of the imperial army. Just like now, the imperial army has never attacked Fengding City, and King Yu will not attack the King of Chu. Once the imperial army suddenly retreats, , King Yu instantly understood what we wanted to do, he is afraid that when the time comes, King Yu’s warriors will be cut off, and he will directly abandon part of his army and rush to Yangzhou.”

"Then let the retreating imperial army block the border of Lianzhou and prevent King Yu from returning to Yangzhou." Li Mujun said with a greedy look: "Now that there is war in all directions in Zhongzhou, they will not enter Zhongzhou at all."

"The imperial army is now under the control of King Heng. Can King Heng listen to you?" Duan Chengfeng asked the most critical question.

Will King Heng listen to Li Mujun’s ideas?

King Heng was afraid that Li Mujun would suddenly regret and cause trouble behind his back, so he personally led the imperial army to Fengzhou.

King Yu valued this point and agreed to send troops so easily.

"This……"

Li Mujun frowned, she had been troubled by this problem.

In her original plan with Shangguan Wan'er, she originally thought that Prince Heng would stay in the court, but she didn't know that he would suddenly run away to Fengzhou.

This also made Li Mujun more urgent to capture the two states of Yang and Liang.

"Chengfeng, what do you think?"

Li Mujun looked at Duan Chengfeng expectantly, she knew Duan Chengfeng had a way.

Duan Chengfeng met Li Mujun's expectant gaze and said quietly:

"Eldest Princess, prosperous times and troubled times are two different situations. Our abilities are not enough to stir up troubles. I don't think we need to work so hard."

Li Mujun was stunned and looked at Duan Chengfeng blankly. She never expected that Duan Chengfeng would say that.

For a moment, the secret room became quiet.

"No!"

"Chengfeng, I am not willing to give in. Now it is clear that we are only one step away!" Li Mujun raised his head, stared at Duan Chengfeng, and said in a pleading tone:

"Chengfeng, please help me one more time, please!"

Duan Chengfeng saw Li Mujun's appearance and did not dare to meet Li Mujun's gaze. He lowered his head and gritted his teeth and said:

"Princess, it's still too late for us to retreat now!" (End of Chapter)
