Chapter 275 Li Heng and Li Mujun
The news that Li Yao had been poisoned by the Sleeping Man Soul quickly spread to the ears of every family in Kyoto. It immediately caused a shock and countless eyes turned to the palace and a certain place.
In Prince Heng's Mansion, Li Heng was dressed in a simple yet majestic royal robe. His tall figure was walking back and forth in the lobby, with his hands behind his back, his pupils deep, and his face solemn.
"Mr. Dong, how many people do you think Li Yao was poisoned and fell into a coma? I think it was my fault?"
Li Heng stopped and turned to look at Dong Ke, who was sitting beside him, with steady but sharp eyes.
Dong Ke raised his head and looked at the expressionless Li Heng, wondering in his heart, could it really not be done by His Highness?
Now the whole of Kyoto knows that Emperor Yao was poisoned by the Sleeping Man Soul and fell into a coma for a year.
The biggest profiteer among them is undoubtedly King Heng.
Not to mention the officials in the court, even Dong Ke was doubting whether it was King Heng who did it.
In particular, the ancestor of the royal family did not intend to save Emperor Yao. This behavior gave everyone the feeling that the ancestor did not interfere with what others in the royal family did.
"The poison of Sleeping Man Soul is so wonderful, the poisoning is strange, and the poisoning process is even more strange. It does not harm Emperor Yao, and the treatment method is very simple. It does not seem to kill Emperor Yao, but it seems to teach Emperor Yao a lesson.
Sleeping Soul is expensive to make, and the process of making the poison is extremely complicated. Such a big plan is to put Emperor Yao into a coma for a year. Many people will think that this kind of behavior is done by members of the royal family. "Dong Ke raised his head cautiously and said.
Li Heng's eyes moved slightly. He knew that Dong Ke still had many words that he had not said, but he could understand what Dong Ke did not express.
Li Heng knew that everyone must be guessing that he did it.
Since Li Yao can be poisoned, why would he poison him like this? Why not just poison him?
Obviously the poisoner was merciful and didn't want Li Yao to die.
Since Li Yao is not allowed to die, he can achieve his goal by keeping him in a coma for a year.
King Heng, who was fighting against Emperor Yao in Kyoto, had too many motives!
At this critical moment, one year is enough to change too many things.
"What do you think this king should do now?" Li Heng looked at Dong Ke and said in a deep voice.
It doesn't matter whether others doubt what you did, what matters is what you can gain from this matter.
Dong Ke pondered for a moment, then finally raised his head and looked at Li Heng and said: "Your Highness, my subordinates think that we don't need to pay attention to the eyes of the various families. They think it was His Highness who did it. We ignore it and don't refute it. We just let nature take its course."
Li Heng's eyes moved slightly. He understood what Dong Ke meant. Regardless of whether he did it himself or not, he pretended to acquiesce, and then went to recruit the ministers of the DPRK to join him.
Anyway, now that Li Yao is in a coma, he is the one with the highest status in Kyoto!
When Dong Ke saw Li Heng's expression, he knew that he had understood what he meant, so he spoke again:
"Your Highness, I think we should stay quiet for a while to make sure that the ancestor of the royal family will not save Queen Yao before taking any action.
First, during this period we can observe the attitudes of various forces, and some people may even take the initiative to seek refuge with His Highness.
Second, if Emperor Yao is in coma for a long time, the court will fall into chaos. We secretly find a way to get the ministers to "take the initiative" to ask His Highness to take charge of the overall situation. "
Li Heng heard Dong Ke's suggestion and nodded heavily. Dong Ke's thoughts were the same as his own, but Li Heng's eyes soon revealed a cold light:
"However, there is one more person we need to pay attention to!"
Dong Ke’s eyes also flashed!
………………
In the imperial city, the palace of the eldest princess, Li Mujun, who has now become the imperial censor, has a capable look on his eyebrows.
After learning that Li Yao had been poisoned by Sleeping Soul, Li Mujun sneered:
"Haha, I don't need to guess to know that it was Li Heng who did it. It's a good trick!"
Previously, Li Yao promoted Li Mujun to the position of imperial censor, firstly to make the previous censorial official retire and return to his hometown, and secondly to make Li Mujun fight with Li Heng.
And Li Mujun lived up to Li Yao's expectations and became even more unruly towards Li Heng.
Especially when Xu Qingshan, whom Li Mujun valued very much, abandoned her and turned to Li Heng. Doesn't this mean that Li Mujun is inferior to Li Heng?
This made Li Mujun, who was extremely arrogant in his heart, very angry.
Who are you?
When the three kings were in Kyoto, they were all very polite to him, which made the three kings very afraid of him.
And after the three kings left Beijing, Li Yao was able to ascend the throne, and he was indispensable.
Li Heng is nothing. When he shows off his power, his hair doesn't even grow.
"Your Highness, your opportunity has come too!"
In the palace, in addition to Li Mujun, there was also a young man holding a jade fan in his hand, wearing gorgeous clothes, and exuding a touch of arrogance.
Zhao Yan is a talent who can stay in Kyoto after being screened by the three kings.
The second choice was Li Yao, because Li Yao was assisted by Lin Shufan, Lu Xun and other ministers, so he looked down upon Zhao Yan.
In the end, Zhao Yan abandoned Li Yao and threw himself under Li Mujun. Let Li Yao regret it!
"Oh, what do you think Mr. Zhao has to say?"
Li Mujun was sitting on the throne. Hearing Zhao Yan say that his opportunity had come, he was a little curious and a little excited, but there was no wave on his face.
So what if Zhao Yan is a top talent!
After all, she is no longer the eldest princess before, but a royal doctor who has been promoted in the imperial court!
You must have the attitude of being unfazed by favor and disgrace and watching the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court.
"Emperor Yao fell into a coma, and the ancestor of the royal family did not intervene to save him. Many people immediately thought that it was King Heng's method.
This situation is like two princes competing for the throne. King Heng has the upper hand and Emperor Yao loses.
That's why the royal ancestor would not take action. "
"Yes, I think so too." Li Mujun nodded calmly.
Zhao Yan was used to Li Mujun pretending to be smart when he had no brains, so he continued:
"Now that Emperor Yao is in a coma, Prince Heng will definitely be eager to recruit court ministers, increase his leverage in the court, and take charge of the overall situation of the court!"
Hearing this, Li Mujun had a cold look in his eyes, glanced at Zhao Yan, then raised his head high and said, "Huh, Li Heng, this kid has to be said to have some tricks. What did you mean when you just said that my opportunity has come?"
"Your Highness, Emperor Yao is in a coma. The most anxious people are the officials loyal to Emperor Yao's lineage. King Heng will definitely suppress these people completely when he rises.
Everyone knew that it was King Heng who poisoned Emperor Yao. At this time, Her Royal Highness stepped forward to turn the tide and prevent King Heng from taking control of the court and frame the ministers. In addition, as the eldest princess of Dayu, Her Royal Highness could easily win over the loyal ministers who were loyal to Emperor Yao. Those in Kyoto who couldn't stand King Heng's despicable methods would also turn to Her Highness the Princess. "
When Zhao Yan said this, a smile appeared on his lips.
"When the time comes, Her Royal Highness the Princess will bring the general trend of saving the imperial court and defeat King Heng.
His Highness will be able to preside over the overall affairs of the imperial court soon! "
The last words sounded in the main hall, revealing Zhao Yan's smiling face.
Li Mujun's eyes widened, and he was almost overflowing with excitement.
