Chapter 113 Return to Kyoto
Six days later, Li Yuan and others quickly entered Zhongzhou. Because of Li Yuan's departure, the struggle between Chu Junyan and the three major forces in Lingzhou became more and more serious. In particular, three city lords in Fengyan County openly defected to Chu Junyan. At this time, a war is inevitable.
But this is none of Li Yuan's business. His eyes are all on Kyoto.
At this time, Kyoto was turbulent.
Emperor Yu was bedridden. Without Emperor Yu's suppression, all kinds of monsters and monsters emerged in Kyoto, and their actions became more and more bold!
Coupled with the spies that various forces have now arrived in Kyoto, it can be said that the undercurrent in Kyoto is surging and murderous intent is endless. People disappear forever every night.
In Prince Yao's Mansion, Li Yao was also crowned king.
The spacious Zhuang Mansion, the beautiful scenery, and the placement of various precious jade plates and utensils let others know that this is a favored prince.
In the palace, Li Yao was sometimes sad and sometimes angry, because he had received the news that the Four Kings had entered Tianzhou and would arrive in Kyoto in two days at most.
"Why did my father summon them back? Isn't it to establish a prince?"
Li Yao clenched his fists, with uncontrollable panic on his face.
A young man holding a jade flower fan in his hand, wearing a rich costume, and exuding a touch of arrogance was particularly conspicuous among the young people in the lobby. He looked at Li Yao with a look of panic, a hint of disdain in his eyes, and said confidently:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, it's impossible for His Majesty to make them princes."
This man's name is Zhao Yan, a well-known wise man among the younger generation in Kyoto.
He is arrogant and feels that not many people in Kyoto can match his intelligence.
He has been staying at home, waiting for the three princes to recruit him. However, the three princes did not recruit him until they left Kyoto.
This made him feel very angry, and he angrily accepted the invitation from the eldest princess and chose Li Yao.
After hearing Mr. Zhao's answer, Li Yao's eyes lit up and he asked quickly:
"Mr. Zhao, if this is true, how sure are you?"
"Ten percent!"
Zhao Yan said proudly and confidently.
When Li Yao heard Zhao Yan's answer, his face became more confident: "That's good, that's good, Mr. Zhao, what should I do now?"
Zhang Yongan and Wang Xing, who had been following Li Yao, saw Li Yao looking at Zhao Yan. They looked at each other and sighed inwardly.
Recently, Li Yao has recruited young talents from major families. For people like them who do not have deep backgrounds, they can feel that Li Yao is becoming more and more alienated from them.
Zhao Yan noticed the eyes of the two people beside him and sneered in his heart, two losers!
"Your Highness, just do what you have done before. Do what you should do, and do not participate in the fight with the three princes. Just watch quietly."
"Oh?" Li Yao frowned when he heard this. Now that he is so famous in Kyoto, he shrinks when the three princes come back. So what do others think of him?
Zhao Yan also saw Li Yao's frown and said without any extra explanation:
"Your Highness, you can win over someone!"
"who?"
"Li Yuan, King of Chu?"
Li Yao's eyes flashed when he heard Li Yuan's name. Li Yuan's reputation in Kyoto was also not simple now. When Li Yuan left the capital, no one thought highly of him, but he unexpectedly took control of Lingyang Mansion.
Not to mention these forces in Kyoto, even the large and small forces in Lingzhou are full of doubts. Why did King Chu control the Lingyang Mansion unknowingly?
Yes!
Li Yuan's process of taking control of Lingyang Mansion was very uneventful, which led to many people not understanding it and thinking that Emperor Yu was behind the control and that he was just a lucky prince.
"Yes, it is not easy for the King of Chu to control a whole government within a year. If His Highness can win over the King of Chu and become a great help to His Highness, the three princes will also win over the King of Chu when they return."
When Zhao Yan mentioned Li Yuan's name, his tone also fluctuated. He had studied the matter of King Chu's control of Lingyang Mansion for a long time and found it strange and too plain!
It seemed that many things were done by the King of Chu smoothly, and there was no large-scale battle at all. As he was doing it, the three major forces and Chu Qingyan left Lingyang Mansion, and then naturally took over the entire Lingyang Mansion.
Not simple, never simple.
Li Yao, who sat down above, recalled that Li Yuan once called him "Emperor Brother" affectionately behind him, and said with confidence on his face:
"Mr. Zhao, don't worry. The person my fifth brother admires the most is me. As long as I hold a big banquet to welcome my fifth brother, he will naturally join me!"
"Then congratulations in advance, Your Highness!" Zhao Yan smiled and nodded without revealing anything.
"of course!"
After Zhao Yan left, Li Yao's confident smile gradually disappeared. Looking at Zhao Yan's back, his eyes became deep!
"Your Highness, the eldest princess sent someone to invite Your Highness to enter the palace."
A guard entered the lobby and reported.
"You tell the eldest princess's envoy that the king has urgent matters today and will go back tomorrow."
Li Yao waved his hand and sent the eldest princess's people back.
"Your Highness, this is not good." Wang Xing looked worried when he saw Li Yao sending away the eldest princess's people so casually. Li Yao's biggest support now is the eldest princess. Now that the three princes are back, if the eldest princess is Abandoning Li Yao, at this critical moment, I'm afraid...
Li Yao said indifferently:
"It's okay, my aunt won't be looking for them anymore, don't worry!"
Li Yao walked down, put his hands on the shoulders of Zhang Yongan and Wang Xing, and said happily:
"Come on, the three of us haven't had a drink together for a long time. Let's have a good drink tonight and pick up my fifth brother tomorrow!"
When Zhang Yongan and Wang Xing saw Li Yao patting themselves intimately, their faces showed joy and they said in unison:
"Walk!"
…………
On the dragon bed in the imperial palace, the dying Emperor Yu was lying on the dragon bed. Now he was emaciated. The whole palace was filled with the breath of various holy medicines. It was refreshing and full of life, as if even a seriously ill Tianwu realm expert If you lie here for a day, you will recover.
From time to time, a palace maid kept pouring precious medicinal materials into the large square jade vat under the dragon bed. Emperor Yu's pale face gradually turned rosy.
"His Majesty!"
Manager Li called softly from the side and came to Emperor Yu's side softly.
Emperor Yu, who was lying on the dragon bed, opened his eyes slightly. Although his body was badly damaged, his eyes still showed majesty.
"Where are they?"
"Now they have entered Tianzhou and can arrive in two days at most."
When Emperor Yu learned that Li Yuan and the others had entered Tianzhou, he smiled happily and said with difficulty:
"It seems that they knew that I was dying, and they also knew that they would rush back as soon as possible."
Manager Li lowered his head and said nothing, his once kind and kind face only filled with sadness.
"Go, prepare, increase the dose of medicine, I will go to court in three days!"
"Your Majesty, you can't!"
When Manager Li saw that Emperor Yu was about to go to court, his face was full of anxiety and worry, and he quickly stopped him.
"Haha, we are all going to die anyway. I would rather die on the battlefield than linger like this!"
It’s so difficult. It’s the Chinese New Year and we haven’t had a holiday yet. We’re too busy every day. Now we can only try to keep updating every day. I’ll definitely update more when I have time. I hope everyone can bear with me!
I wish everyone is safe and be careful when driving on the road. I encountered two car accidents when I was going to work this morning.
