Chapter 282 Zhao Yan’s Calculation
Outside the gate of Jingmu Palace, Lieutenant Qin slowly left with Li Mujun's respectful eyes.
Li Mujun breathed a sigh of relief, feeling more relaxed than ever before.
Both Prime Minister Lin and Taiwei chose to support him, so Li Heng had nothing to fight against him.
Walking back to the palace, Li Mujun saw Zhao Yan next to him with his head lowered and silent, and couldn't help but wonder:
"Mr. Zhao, what's wrong? What's your problem?"
After hearing Li Mujun's words, Zhao Yan said with a calm face:
"Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess, my subordinates feel that the Taiwei's visit today is a bit strange."
Li Mujun frowned when he heard Zhao Yan's doubts, and then remembered that he had begun to suspect that Taiwei Qin was Prince Xuan's man.
"Did he already bet on Li Xuan? That's why he helped him."
Once the imperial court sent troops to Danzhou, anyone with a discerning eye would know that King Xuan would benefit the most.
Just as Li Mujun thought at the beginning, why did Qin Taiwei have to send troops to support King Xuan now? When King Xuan is defeated, it would be the same to send troops to attack Chu Junxiong, and he could reap the benefits.
Lieutenant Qin is very doubtful about this.
But now that Li Mujun wanted to control the court, he had to support Taiwei's idea, otherwise he would give up Taiwei Qin to Li Heng.
When Zhao Yan saw Li Mujun and suspected that the Taiwei was from King Xuan, he slowly shook his head and said:
"Impossible. If the Lieutenant chooses Prince Xuan, it is impossible for him to be exposed so early. How can a person like him be seen through?"
When Li Mujun heard this, Zhao Yan also believed that Captain Qin was not Li Xuan's person, and the suspicion that had just arisen was dispelled.
Both doubts were dispelled, and Li Mujun became more and more convinced of his own judgment that Taiwei Qin could not be Li Xuan's man.
So he waved his big hand and said: "That's right, I have just made it public with Qin Taiwei. How can someone like Qin Taiwei, who is dedicated to the court, be a member of Prince Xuan?"
Zhao Yan's heavy expression did not change, and he said another thing:
"Your Highness, news came from Liangzhou yesterday that King Yu defeated the Liangzhou Alliance and the unification of Liangzhou is just around the corner."
"Yes, I know." Li Mujun's smile gradually disappeared.
Another bad news.
"So, my subordinates suspect that the Taiwei is King Yu's man!" Zhao Yan's eyes flashed.
"Huh?!!!" Li Mujun froze on the spot, with an expression of disbelief on his face, and he was speechless for a moment.
"What does this...have to do with King Yu?"
Zhao Yan seemed to be shocked by his own thoughts, his face flushed, and he followed his thoughts and said quickly:
"That's right, I think this is King Yu's plan!"
"Say it." Li Mujun was a little dizzy by Zhao Yan's bold idea. He found a seat and sat down, quietly listening to Zhao Yan's explanation.
"Your Highness, think about it, after King Yu takes Liangzhou, the next step should be Yangzhou, and Yangzhou is already close to our Zhongzhou!"
"Yes...yes, but didn't the Taiwei choose to help King Xuan deal with Chu Junxiong? If the Taiwei is King Yu's man, then why did King Yu help King Xuan?" Li Mujun stuttered.
"King Yu is not helping Prince Xuan, he is helping himself. King Yu will attack Zhongzhou next!"
The more Zhao Yan spoke, the firmer his voice became. He waved the folding fan in his hand, revealing a confident aura.
"What? King Yu is going to attack Zhongzhou?" Li Mujun just sat down and then stood up.
"That's right, your highness, think about it carefully," Zhao Yan said brightly, as if he had seen through King Yu's plan.
"If we agree to King Xuan to send troops to support Danzhou, will our military strength in Zhongzhou be reduced? If King Yu makes a sneak attack on Zhongzhou at this time..."
Zhao Yan raised his head and stared at Li Mujun with bright eyes, but did not say the following words.
But how could the smart Li Mujun not know what Zhao Yan wanted to say, and his eyes were filled with confusion.
It seems to make sense.
Is this...Qin Taiwei really the man who honors the king?
"But...but, if the Taiwei is a member of Prince Yu, why did he take the initiative to support me? If King Xuan really sends someone to ask for support tomorrow, he will still remain neutral if he speaks tomorrow. In order to win over the Taiwei, we will still I will agree to Prince Xuan’s request!”
"Your Royal Highness, the Taiwei joined us in advance just to make us trust him and let us relax our vigilance."
"If King Yu attacks Zhongzhou, we will definitely send troops to stop it. If the Taiwei suddenly asks him to send troops to deal with King Yu at this time, will we agree?" Zhao Yan said with a heavy face.
"this…………"
"Eldest Princess, please don't forget that Emperor Yao is in a coma now, and we can only represent Emperor Yao's will. And who is King Yu? To put it bluntly, among all the royal family members, King Yu's influence is Far above Emperor Yao." Zhao Yan said eloquently,
"If the Taiwei who went to stop King Yu's army leads his troops back to fight, then King Yu's army will appear outside Kyoto unimpeded. Do you think the royal family ancestor will help us defeat King Yu?"
"King Yu was the first to invade Zhongzhou and arrived in Kyoto at a speed unimaginable by the world. With such earth-shattering methods, I am afraid that all the royal families in Kyoto will recognize King Yu. With the support of the Taiwei, let alone us and King Heng. , even if Emperor Yao wakes up, Prince Yu can easily replace Emperor Yao and become the master of the court!"
Zhao Yan sighed deeply, his eyes were more solemn than ever before, and he was amazed by King Yu's strategy.
Li Mujun was already stunned, his eyes were blank, and he was a little at a loss.
"Your Highness the Princess?"
"Your Highness the Princess!"
Zhao Yan came back to his senses, saw Li Mujun's stunned look, and quickly waved in front of her motionless eyes.
......... Li Mujun was finally awakened, his whole body trembled, his face became extremely pale, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"Li Han is very calculating!"
Li Mujun followed Zhao Yan's words and thought of the most terrifying consequences. His whole body trembled, and his face could not stop being filled with fear.
If she really fell into Prince Yu's scheme, then everything she has worked hard for now will become a joke!
"Yes, this is King Yu." Zhao Yan sighed.
"Zhao Yan, we will not support sending troops to support Prince Xuan tomorrow and expose the old fox, Taiwei Qin!" Li Mujun said fiercely.
Don't be fooled and let everyone know that Taiwei is Li Han's man. Let's see what he does.
"Your Highness, you can't!" Zhao Yan stopped him.
"Why?" Li Mujun turned to look at Zhao Yan, with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Your Highness, all of this is just speculation on our part, without any evidence. Even if the Taiwei is really the man who admires the king, as long as the Taiwei doesn't admit it, we can't bring him down.
As he said, he just wanted to get rid of Chu Junxiong, so that whoever in the future Yu Dynasty would win the world would still be a member of the royal family. How loyal this was in the eyes of others! "
Zhao Yan continued sincerely:
"The Taiwei is highly respected in the imperial court and is respected by countless soldiers. By slandering the Taiwei, we are trying to exclude the imperial military attachés from our side!
Moreover, he will push the Taiwei to Li Heng, which is extremely detrimental to us. "
"Li Hengming knows that the Taiwei is King Yu's man, but he still dares to believe it?"
