Dynasty Call: Low-key Struggle for Hegemony

Li Yuan is full of expectations in his heart. For Li Yuan, the mixed talent category is a grand prize. Everyone in it has special skills and is a capable person.

Soon the image of a eunuch on the card appeared in front of his eyes.

Another eunuch?

"Liu Jin!"

Introduction on the back: Liu Jin was adopted by the eunuch Liu Shun when he was six years old. He was a eunuch during the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty. He was the eunuch in charge of official worship and was the head of the "Eight Tigers"!

When Li Yuan saw Liu Jin's name, his first thought was the richest eunuch!

Is this good luck or bad luck?

Li Yuan's eyes turned slightly to the palace. He would go to court tomorrow and he was about to leave...

The next day, at dawn, the ministers and officials in Kyoto were already heading to the palace one after another, because this time, Emperor Yu, who had not been in court for a month, was going to court.

The four kings returned and Emperor Yu went to court.

Everyone knows that this time going to court will be a major event that shakes up the Yu Dynasty.

This was also Li Yuan's first time going to court. It was a different feeling to see it from a distance and up close.

A majestic, majestic, tall and tall golden palace stands high in front. At the four corners of the huge palace, the guards in black armor have cold eyes and a serious and solemn aura.

The faint morning light shines on the golden glazed tiled double-eaves roof, which looks particularly brilliant and shines with brilliance.

The inner pillars of the main hall are supported by multiple giant red pillars. Each pillar is engraved with a lifelike golden dragon that is circling, which is particularly spectacular.

In the vast hall, the civil and military officials are clearly positioned.

On the high dragon chair, hundreds of officials are arranged separately below, headed by the prime minister, the Taiwei, and the imperial censor.

The next row is King Xuan, King Ming, King Yu, King Yao, and King Chu.

Behind them are six important ministers.

When Li Yuan arrived, all the civil and military officials lowered their heads, and no one whispered to each other. The hall was silent, and a solemn aura enveloped everyone, with a feeling that a storm was coming.

Li Yuan's figure quickly attracted the attention of the officials, and many people raised their heads to look at Li Yuan.

Some people have cold eyes, some people have acquaintance eyes, and some people have no fluctuation in their eyes.

Li Yuan crossed the hundred officials, came to the front of the palace, and stood alone behind San Gong.

That's right, among the five kings, only Li Yuan came first.

San Gong looked back at Li Yuan and nodded kindly as a greeting.

Soon Li Yao also entered the hall, but his scene was a little more lively than Li Yuan's. Many officials who were close to him greeted him and called him King Yao.

When King Yu, King Ming, and King Xuan entered one by one, the scene became more lively. They talked and laughed with various officials along the way, and constantly expressed goodwill to their respective forces.

These officials had already received certain "specific" information and had already contacted the three kings.

With the arrival of the three kings, the originally quiet Jinluan Hall suddenly became lively, and the solemn aura that enveloped the hall was slowly cleared away.

However, the morning court time soon came, and all the officials sensed that Emperor Yu was about to arrive, so they all closed their mouths and stood still.

Prince Xuan, Prince Ming, and Prince Yu also came to Li Yuan's side, showed kind smiles to Li Yuan, and stood alongside him.

Sure enough, with the shouts of the eunuchs in the palace, Emperor Yu stepped into the Jinluan Palace with great strides.

This is the first time Emperor Yu has appeared in public since he became seriously ill. When everyone sees His Majesty stepping into the hall with a domineering and domineering aura, they feel as if they have seen His Majesty in the past!

"Wei ministers (son ministers) pay homage to Your Majesty, and wish Your Majesty peace!"

When Emperor Yu sat on the dragon throne, all the officials worshiped him in unison.

"Everyone is safe!"

All civil and military officials stood up straight, raised their chests and raised their heads, showing

The best side appeared in front of Emperor Yu.

Emperor Yu glanced at the officials with a stern look.

The hall was silent.

Everyone knows that Emperor Yu is seriously ill now and is lucky to be able to go to court. No one dares to waste time at this time. Everyone is listening to Emperor Yu's will.

After Emperor Yu looked at everyone for three seconds, he did not waste time, and his undoubted domineering tone resounded throughout the hall:

"Nowadays, some states in the Yu Dynasty have become chaotic. Some people think that I am seriously ill, so some people can't wait to jump out.

Each one is like a clown, making noise in my ears. "

After a pause, Emperor Yu glanced at everyone and continued:

"I think their only role is to help me train these four talented and outstanding princes."

"Prince Xuan Li Xuan, Prince Ming Li Jing, Prince Yu Li Han, and Prince Chu Li Yuan came forward to hear the title!"

Li Yuan and the other four people's eyes were focused, and they all took a step forward and knelt down solemnly:

"My son, obey your orders!"

"The borders around the Yu Dynasty are in chaos, and the four of you are specially ordered to take charge of the four states!"

"King Xuan, Li Xuanzhen, has made you the governor of Danzhou. You can exercise all the powers in Danzhou and suppress Danzhou!"

"King Li Jing of the Ming Dynasty has appointed you as the governor of Yizhou. You can exercise all the powers in Yizhou and suppress Yizhou!"

"King Li Han has appointed you as the governor of Liangzhou. You can exercise all the power in Liangzhou and suppress Liangzhou!"

"The King of Chu, Li Yuan, has appointed you as the Governor of Lingzhou. You can exercise all the powers in Lingzhou and suppress Lingzhou!"

The twelve states of the Yu Dynasty.

Zhongzhou is located in the center, adjacent to five states.

They are Lianzhou in the east, Fengzhou in the south, Yangzhou in the north, Yanzhou in the northwest, and Qingzhou in the southwest.

Lianzhou is adjacent to Lingzhou, Fengzhou is adjacent to Yizhou, Yangzhou is adjacent to Liangzhou, and Qingzhou is adjacent to Danzhou.

Zhaozhou is located between Qingzhou, Danzhou and Yanzhou.

Huanzhou is located among Lianzhou, Fengzhou, Yizhou and Lingzhou.

"Yes, my father, I will never betray my father's trust."

Li Yuan and the four others replied at the same time that they had already made a rough guess about Emperor Yu's order, so there was no surprise.

Although some ministers had already made some guesses, they were still a little shocked when Emperor Yu sealed the deal.

Before the shocked eyes of the officials dissipated, Emperor Yu motioned to Manager Li to take a step forward.

Manager Li held a long imperial edict in his hand and called out the names of the transferred officials one by one.

Each of these officials had already been prepared and stood up to receive the order.

Emperor Yu had informed them in advance that these officials would be transferred.

Many of these officials belong to major families in Kyoto and need to go to various states to serve, and the scope of their posts is close to some big forces with ambitions and signs of resistance!

Emperor Yu just wanted to use the power of the major families to fight against the major forces.

The backbone of the imperial court showed no signs of movement at all and remained stable within Zhongzhou.

As the major aristocratic families were based in Zhongzhou, they had no way to resist Emperor Yu's conspiracy. Even the aristocratic families that originally wanted to be neutral had to choose to defect to the nearest three kings.

In addition to these officials whose names were read in the court, there were more people behind who were also ordered to be mobilized one by one.

In the end, Emperor Yu made his last decree:

"The eldest princess will leave the capital and return to her fiefdom in three days. She will not be allowed to return to the capital unless summoned by the imperial decree!"

Manager Li's sharp voice came out of the hall and lingered for a long time.

………………

In the palace of the eldest princess, Li Mujun heard the news, his eyes were dull, and he muttered silently:

"Impossible, impossible, didn't Li Yao already tell His Majesty yesterday?

Why!

Why! "

Li Mujun quickly woke up, gritted his teeth, and his eyes were filled with hatred:

"Li Yao, I once helped you like this, but you do this to me!"

The vase decoration on the table was swept to the ground by an angry Li Mujun.

Thunderbolt!

There were constant sounds of smashing things in the palace!

………………

The news from Chaoshang spread quickly to the outside world, and in less than a day, all the forces in various states received the news.

In the next few days, these forces will move one after another and secretly move continuously, so seize the time to make arrangements!

After the three major forces in Lingzhou learned the news, they attacked Chu Junyan even more fiercely!

He wanted to completely kill Chu Junyan and Chu Qingyan before Li Yuan came back.

However, unexpectedly, another batch of support from the Zhenguo Mansion arrived, causing the three major forces that originally thought they could defeat Chu Junyan to be ambushed and defeated again.

Kyoto has fallen into a strange calm these days.

Emperor Yu has not yet established a crown prince, and no news has been spread.

The ministers of the DPRK are not in a hurry to report, because the four kings have not yet left the capital.

On the fifth day after Li Mujun left unwillingly, it was finally the day for Li Yuan, Prince Xuan and the other four to leave the capital.

The sun had just risen in the morning, and the warm morning light shone in Kyoto. Li Yuan and others had already packed their things. Compared with the two or three carriages when they first entered Kyoto, there were now more than twenty more carriages returning to Lingzhou. They are a group of talents who have taken refuge with Li Yuan in Kyoto these days, and Li Yuan has selected more than sixty of them.

Outside the gate of Kyoto, Li Yuan once again turned to look at this prosperous and noble Kyoto. His eyes were full of calmness, and he turned away without any hesitation.

"Ha ha!"

In Prince Yao's palace, Li Yao was very happy to learn that the four kings had left, with a proud smile on his face.

Zhao Yan returned to Li Yao. His face showed unwillingness and anger. He looked outside and clenched his fists. He would definitely make the three kings regret it!

"Zhao Yan."

"My subordinate is here!"

Zhao Yan no longer had the arrogance he had before and showed a humble smile to Li Yao.

"Come for a drink!"

"Ha ha!"

Li Yao raised his wine glass with one hand and looked at the humble Zhao Yan, feeling even more excited.

Zhao Yan begged Li Yao several times before Li Yao asked him to come back.

Zhang Yongan below saw Li Yao's proud and arrogant expression and sighed secretly, feeling worried about the future.

But he didn't see his friend Wang Xing next to him sighing when he saw Zhang Yongan, and his eyes were complicated.

He saw Zhang Yongan and Jia Xu, the confidant of the King of Chu, drinking in restaurants many times.

………………

In the palace, in the palace of the Sixth Prince, a chief eunuch came to Li Heng with a group of newly joined eunuchs.

Li Heng stood with one hand on his back and stared at the fish swimming in the lake. He kept throwing out the bait in his hand. Colorful fish were swarming on the lake. He had a faint smile on his face. He didn't know whether it was because the fish looked good or something else.

The manager’s face smiled like a chrysanthemum:

"Sixth Prince, a new group of eunuchs have recently arrived. Eunuch Li said he would like to add a few more people to you."

"Excuse me, father-in-law, please send it to me. Thank you Manager Li for me."

Li Heng turned his eyes and looked at this group of eunuchs.

Although Li Heng was only fourteen or fifteen years old, his eyes were very sharp, which made the eunuchs who had just surrendered feel a little trembling in their hearts, and they stood aside at a loss.

Only one eunuch with a fair face and a particularly feminine aura remained calm and bowed slightly in respect.

Li Heng's eyes showed satisfaction, he pointed at him and asked the chief eunuch:

"What's his name."

The head eunuch followed Li Heng's finger and looked at the eunuch, his eyelids twitching:

"Back to Your Highness, his name is Liu Jin!"
