Horse on the World

Chapter 965 Cold Treatment

Just like Li's method, Yanran also blamed Jiyue's attention after she made a move. On the surface, after Yanran married into the palace, her relationship with Bao'er has always been very good. The two are very close, but Jiyue has always been lukewarm towards the two of them, and even constantly embarrasses them in many things. Yanran is the main wife, so it's a little bit better. Baoer's status is the lowest, so naturally she will be the most angry. Once something happens, everyone will blame her Naturally, they would point to Jiyue, thus removing Yanran's suspicion. No one could have imagined that the matter would eventually develop to this point.

"What should we do now?" King Zhou frowned, "The regent must be furious. Once he returns to Dingzhou, there will be a bloody storm. I don't know how many people will be killed and how many people will be implicated by it? Wei Qing, you any idea?"

Wei Gang sighed, "Before I enter the palace, I went to see Master Yan Nanfei first."

"What did Lord Yan say?" King Zhou's eyes lit up, and when he entered Dingzhou, Yan Nanfei was actually the big backer of the remaining ministers of the Zhou Dynasty.
"There is only one way!" Wei Gang looked up at Emperor Zhou, "There is only one way, maybe it can make the regent's anger lessened, and make this big thing into a small one."
"What way, say it quickly, say it quickly." Zhou Huang couldn't wait to say.
"When the Prince Regent returned to Dingzhou, His Majesty led the civil and military court to welcome the Prince Regent, and at the same time announced the imperial edict for the throne of Zen. Zen is located in the Prince Regent." Wei Gang said.
King Zhou was not surprised at all. Anyway, since the beginning of his ascension to the throne, he knew that this day would come sooner or later. With the Dingzhou army advancing triumphantly, it has now formed a siege of the Central Plains. Next year, when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, there will be a large army On the day of the attack, it was a pity that he could not return to Luoyang as the emperor to worship the ancestral temple.
"If this can make the regent's anger dissipate and he will not pursue this matter any more, what's the point of me issuing this edict? Alright, Wei Gang, you can discuss this matter with Lord Yan and the others." King Zhou waved his hand and said ．
In the Prince Regent's Mansion, Jiyue looked out of the window restlessly, and Yan Ran went to the palace, but she had nowhere to go, so she could only stay in the palace.
"Ma'am, Liu Qiang is back!" Qiao'er walked over lightly and said.

"Let him in quickly!" Ji Yue stood up and said.

"I've seen Madam!" Liu forced a salute.
"Okay, okay, tell me quickly, what did Master Luo say?"
Liu Qiang stood up straight and said, "Master Luo said, at this moment, it is better to be still than to move. Something has happened. Don't panic, let alone go to the doctor in a hurry. He will go to Li Dudu to find a solution."

"What can Li Houye do?" Jiyue said: "I usually see that Li Houye doesn't have the majesty of a father in front of the prince, but looks like a spoiled little daughter-in-law. How can I help you?"
Liu Qiang said with a smile: "Master Luo knew that Madam would say that, so he asked me to tell Madam that it doesn't work for Marquis Li to speak in front of the prince, but it is useful for Marquis Li's family to speak!"

A flash of inspiration flashed in Jiyue's mind, and she suddenly understood, "Old madam!"

"Yes, Mrs. Wen, as long as Mrs. Wen sends a word, the prince will stop chasing after him. This matter will be fooled."

"Just fooling around?" Jiyue thought for a while, "Liu Qiang, you go and prepare the car, I'm going to visit my parents-in-law?"

"Ah?" Liu Qiang was stunned, "Master Luo told you that it is better to be still than to move!"

Jiyue snorted coldly, "I have to see the old lady, An Min is the eldest grandson of the old lady! I have to go to see the old lady in person, no matter what, I have to bring the old lady to my side."

The closer the convoy got to Dingzhou, the colder the weather became. When they saw Qixia Pass, there was already a white snow on the city wall.
"My lord, it's getting late today. Shall we just rest at Qixiaguan for one night and set off tomorrow morning?" Han Yong rode his horse into the carriage and asked through the curtains.

"No, go straight, don't stop here, and drive all night today." Li Qing said.
"Yes, my lord!" Han Yong nodded, and rode his horse forward to deliver orders to the front team.

Inside the carriage, Li Qing leaned against the wall of the carriage, the closer he got to Dingzhou, the more anger he felt in his heart.
"My lord!" Han Yong's voice sounded outside again.

"Didn't I say it before? Why are you here again?" Li Qing said impatiently.

"My lord, Mr. Lu is at Qixia Pass, and now he is leading a group of people from Qixia Pass to meet him."

"What?" Li Qing sat up straight and opened the curtains, "Why did he get to Qixia Pass?"

Li Qing sat quietly, the hot tea on the table in front of him had already gone cold, all the attendants and guards were tens of meters away from the house, the fire in the brazier had dimmed, and the temperature in the room had dropped a lot, but Neither of them felt cold.Compared with the cold body, Li Qing's heart is colder.
"Yiming, do you think I look like I died a short life?" Li Qing stood up, opened the window, reflected the light inside the house, and could see that the snow outside was getting denser.

Lu Yiming was startled, and stood up, "The Lord is just at the peak of Spring and Autumn, why do you say that?"

Li Qing sneered, "Then why do they worry about my successor again and again?"
Lu Yiming was slightly stunned, thought for a moment, and said, "My lord, in fact, this is not just a question of successors, but involves the distribution of benefits after the war. This time, the Li family's alliance with Mrs. Jiyue may not be the same as the lord's." Over the past few years, the important figures of the Li family have been continuously pushed out of the core high-level officials of Dingzhou. The ultimate goal of Li's series of actions is to force you to establish a successor as soon as possible. The status will rise in a straight line. At least, in the future or decades later, the Li clan will be very powerful. You know, a big family like the Li clan has always taken a long-term view. Now the lord is crowding out the clan power , They are helpless, but this does not prevent them from starting to lay the foundation for the future."
"As for Mrs. Yanran, it is related to the interests of the Zhou Dynasty surrenders and others. They will feel at ease only if Yanran and the lord's son is established as the future prince."
"Everyone has their own little calculations!" Li Qing laughed, "It's okay, this time I have a thorough understanding of the relationship between them, and it seems that I won't give them a big surprise. Maybe the same drama will be staged again."

Lu Yiming was silent for a moment, "My lord, it's not a big deal right now."
"Why don't you move? After something like this happened, you actually think I can still move?"
"My lord, now we are facing a decisive battle with Luoyang Tianqi. At this time, we should concentrate all our strength on the war against Luoyang Tianqi, instead of starting to cleanse at this time. What's more, we are involved in this matter , are all important figures in Dingzhou. Whether it is the Li clan or the remaining ministers of the Zhou Dynasty, this move will hurt our muscles and bones, and it will definitely affect our preparations for this winter."
"And now, they have all reacted. The king of Zhou has decided to welcome you outside the city when you return to Dingzhou, and announce the edict of the Zen position. The purpose of this move is very clear, and it is in exchange for your Yanran Do not pursue."
"As for Mrs. Jiyue, after the accident, she suddenly became close to Lord Li and Mrs. Wen."
"My mother?" Li Qing was startled.
"The old lady loves her eldest grandson!" Lu Yiming smiled, "I heard that you are going to exile Anmin overseas, but the old man is so distressed that he found me there. He gave me an order directly, let me persuade you Give up this idea, her old man will never allow it."

"Playing the piano randomly!" Li Qing was furious immediately.

Lu Yiming smiled wryly, "Actually, what I'm most worried about is Dean Qingfeng's reaction! You also know Qingfeng's feelings for Mrs. Jiyue?"

Li Qing waved his hand, "What happened this time has nothing to do with Qingfeng. Jiyue has a relationship with the Li clan, and Qingfeng didn't know about it after the fact. I told Qingfeng not to rush back to Dingzhou this time. I believe she understands me." I mean, I received a report today that Qingfeng went to Minzhou. If Qingfeng wants to protect Jiyue this time, she will go back to Dingzhou desperately. Now that he has chosen to go to Minzhou, that is to show me his attitude gone."

Lu Yiming let out a long sigh of relief, "In this way, I am relieved for the most part, but my lord, please forgive me for speaking bluntly, this is a family scandal, and it is really not appropriate to publicize it, and now is not the time to deal with it. I am just afraid of you When I returned to Dingzhou in a rage, I ordered a thorough investigation, so I rushed here under the pretext of informing you that the King of Zhou is preparing a Zen seat."

Li Qing walked around the room a few times and calmed down slowly. Lu Yiming came here specially to warn him. Naturally, he made a deliberate decision after comprehensive consideration of various situations.And right now, it is indeed time to clenched fists to the outside world, and there must be no unexpected discoveries inside, but letting go of this makes him very unwilling.

"You go back and tell them that I won't accept any Zen positions now, so they don't have to rush." ​​Li Qing said: "Besides, after I go back, I won't go to the city, I won't go back to the palace, I will go to Taohua Xiaozhu went to live for a while, and during this time, all business affairs were handled in Taohua Xiaozhu."
"Yanran and Jiyue, during this period of time, they are not allowed to step out of the palace. The interior of the palace is left to Tang Hu to deal with. I have changed everyone around them, from maids to guards."
This is Li Qing's warning to the two, Lu Yiming nodded, "I understand."
"Is Concubine Bao still resting at Chang Kuan's house until she gives birth?"

"Take Baofei to Taohua Xiaozhu!" Li Qing thought for a while and waved his hand.
"Also, after you go back, talk to my father privately and ask him to resign from his position as the governor of the five-army governor's mansion!"

"The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is involved in the distribution of troops and supplies in the upcoming war, so let Marquis Li resign at this time?" Lu Yiming hesitated.

"Guo Shanfeng will take over this position! Guo Shanfeng is more familiar with the front line and the war than my father, he will do a good job." Li Qingdao, "After the handover with Guan Xinglong, Guo Shanfeng will rush Back to Dingzhou."
