The Grandmaster Strategist

A trace of guilt flashed in Queen Dou's eyes, but it turned into pride and pride. Li Yuan said coldly: "Zitong, you are the queen, why would you do such a thing?"

Mrs. Dou gave a bitter smile and said: "Queen's honor? Huh, I only know that if my son cannot succeed, then I and him will have no choice but to die. Now, Your Majesty, you intend to depose the prince and replace him with King Yong, and then marry me Where is the prince?" After talking, Mr. Dou gradually became hoarse and his tone became more and more intense.

Li Yuan was stunned and said angrily: "When will I depose the prince? Who are you instigating?"

A look of shame flashed in Mrs. Dou's eyes and she avoided Li Yuan's gaze. However, Concubine Ji smiled softly and said: "Your Majesty, your mind is wavering. Everyone in the court knows it. Besides, the prince has done something wrong. I was worried about your punishment, so I had to persuade the queen to act like this."

Li Yuan's eyes turned cold and he looked at Qin Yi. Qin Yi said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, I also heard rumors that the prince forced the wife of a subordinate of the East Palace to rape, causing death. However, it is inconvenient for me to mention it. This was originally The authority of the remonstrator."

Li Yuan said angrily: "What a beast. I just asked him to cultivate his mind and character, but he did such a shameless thing. Since ancient times, the king is not the king, and the minister is not the minister. I will definitely..." Li Yuan was silent at this point. He looked at the queen. Dou's face was pale and she said: "An'er cried to me. If this matter comes to the ears of the emperor, I am afraid that the throne will not be guaranteed. I only have such a son. No matter what, I can't watch him go to a dead end."

Li Yuan smiled miserably and said: "Okay, we have been married for many years. It turns out that you are just thinking about the traitor, whatever." His expression gradually became cold and he said: "Ji Xia, Li Hanyou, if I leave Xiaoshuang Palace, I'm afraid your The plan will not succeed."

Concubine Ji smiled sweetly and said: "I know that the emperor has hundreds of guards here, but I believe that I will never let one person escape."

Li Yuan smiled coldly and said loudly: "Kill all these rebellious people." Following Li Yuan's words, the invisible guards in the side hall rushed out. This was originally because Li Yuan sympathized with them and did not take turns. The guards are resting in the side hall, so although the guards outside have been cleared by Fengyi Gate, there is still a fresh force.

Li Yuan gave an order, Qin Yi and Cheng Shu both stood in front of King Yong and Concubine Changsun to protect them, while Leng Chuan pounced on Concubine Ji. Concubine Ji threw off her palace clothes, revealing a black outfit, and the two Fighting together, the guards in yellow also fought with the female swordsmen of Fengyi Sect. In an instant, the front of Xiaoshuang Palace became the Shura slaughterhouse.

Concubine Yan looked at this scene in horror. At this time, Qin Zheng had already rushed over and said loudly: "Concubine, hurry up and hide in the palace with the Queen."

Although Concubine Yan was usually weak, at this moment she hesitated and shouted: "Your Majesty, I really don't know about this." After saying that, she rushed towards Li Yuan.

Qin Zheng was stunned. He originally stretched out his hand to stop him, but finally did not reach out. Li Yuan frowned and looked at Concubine Yan with a worried expression. He knew that this concubine was usually the most docile and weak, and it was indeed impossible for her to participate in treason. . He sighed and allowed Concubine Yan to rush into his arms. Qin Yi and Cheng Shu were already ready to take action, but Concubine Yan was of high status and neither of them dared to take action. After hesitation, Concubine Yan had already thrown herself into Li Yuan's arms. Li Yuan handed her over to Concubine Changsun. The two concubines supported each other and looked at the steps in horror.

Qin Zheng stamped his feet and rushed forward to join forces with Ji Xia to deal with Leng Chuan. Ji Xia has been responsible for protecting Emperor Yong for many years and has often cooperated with Leng Chuan, so she is very familiar with Leng Chuan's martial arts. Although Qin Zheng rarely takes action, But she is talented and has strong swordsmanship. The two of them trapped Leng Chuan. Although they could not win, Leng Chuan could not break through their cooperation.

At this time, the situation of the guards below was much more unfavorable. Although they are all highly skilled in martial arts, most of them come from the military, and are good at fighting together, the sword formations of the female disciples of Fengyi Sect are vicious and vicious, and they cooperate closely. They support each other, and their swordsmanship is ruthless.

After dividing the guards, not long after, the ground was already covered with corpses and blood.

Li Yuan was anxious because he didn't expect Fengyi Sect's sword array to be so powerful. What should I do?

While Li Hanyou was commanding Ruoding, she was also shocked by the martial arts of these female swordsmen. Unfortunately, she would not be able to control them in the future. In that case, she would always be married to others. She was thinking about how to seize control of these female swordsmen. Paying attention to the movements of everyone in the field, I saw that although Leng Chuan still had the upper hand, he was unable to escape. The Tiangang Sword Formation formed by the thirty-six female swordsmen he had brought with him was rapidly devouring lives. It seemed that If you want to solve it as soon as possible, you have to face the emperor. She walked towards Li Yuan with Xie Xiaotong, her face as cold as frost.

Qin Yi and Cheng Shu both looked worried. If it were a battlefield battle, they would have nothing to fear, but in this kind of fighting in the rivers and lakes, they had no confidence in dealing with Li Hanyou and the female disciple of Fengyi Sect. Dayong is different from other countries. Most of the martial arts masters serve in the army. On the contrary, there are inevitably fewer masters in the palace. It is not visible on weekdays because Fengyi Sect is responsible for a large part of the defense work. Therefore, once Fengyi Sect changes sides, , the defense force around Emperor Yong was immediately greatly weakened. Of course, Fengyi Sect has excellent swordsmanship, which is one of the reasons why Fengyi Sect has the upper hand now.

At this time, Xie Xiaotong suddenly pulled her sleeves and whispered: "There is a noise outside, junior sister, you have to go and take a look. Now we can't let people know that we are forcing an abortion."

Li Hanyou frowned and said, "You stay here, I'll go take a look."

After saying that, they flew out of the palace gate. Outside was the three thousand forbidden troops they could control, blocking Xiaoshuang Palace and its surroundings. At this time, they saw a woman in palace clothes at the palace gate and said sternly: "I am I am the royal princess and I want to pay my respects to my father. Who dares to block my way?" But it was Princess Changle, accompanied by several maids and a young eunuch.

Li Hanyou's eyes lit up. She had the princess under control. She wasn't afraid that Li Yuan would not compromise. She approached Princess Changle and smiled coldly and said, "Why did Her Royal Highness get here? No one stopped her on the way."

Princess Changle looked at her, her eyes full of inexplicable emotions, and said coldly, "I saw the shock in the palace and was worried about my father and mother, so I came to say hello. Although there were people blocking me along the way, who dares to really embarrass me?" , Li Hanyou, why are you here? My father and mother are still safe."

Li Hanyou looked at Princess Changle and saw that her usually cold face suddenly gained a bit of royal majesty. No wonder no one dared to stop her. After all, the imperial troops outside were just deceived by him. No wonder she let Princess Changle come to Xiaoshuang Palace. Besides, this is okay. Li Yuan's doting on Princess Changle may force Li Yuan to surrender. If Li Yuan really wants to fight to the death, it may not end well in the future. So, Li Hanyou said coldly: "Prince Yong has rebelled, and Jingjiang has come to escort him. Your Majesty the Princess." Princess Changle's eyes flashed with a cold light, and she said calmly: "Okay, I am going to see my father."

After saying that, Princess Changle walked inside, and several palace maids around her quickly followed. The imperial guards were about to stop them, but Li Hanyou waved his hand and thought to himself: "It's just the right time for these people to come in. Do we still want them to go out and talk nonsense?"

Princess Changle walked into the palace gate and saw blood everywhere. Her delicate body was crumbling. At this time, Concubine Changsun saw her from above and exclaimed: "Zhen'er." She was about to step down, but was blocked by Li Yuan. . Li Yuan looked at Li Hanyou who was standing next to Princess Changle, and said angrily: "Li Hanyou, you are also a member of the clan, and I have given you the title of princess. I never expected that you would be so ungrateful." His words shocked Qin Yi, Cheng Shu and Changle. The princess's face changed dramatically, but Li Hanyou was so embarrassed that she didn't pay attention. She just smiled and said: "Your Majesty, if you are willing to give in, I will never dare to offend you, otherwise -" She looked at Princess Changle. At this time, Changle The princess has returned to normal. She didn't even look at Li Hanyou and said loudly: "Father, I have something to report. Please suspend the anger of the thunder."

Li Yuan's heart moved, and seeing that the situation was now unfavorable to him, he sighed: "Okay, Chang Le, just listen to what you have to say? Get out of here."

Li Hanyou was overjoyed. She was not afraid of Li Yuan escaping anyway, so she waved her hand. The female swordsmen quickly retreated behind Li Hanyou, while the surviving guards retreated to the steps to protect Li Yuan and others. Queen Dou was left standing alone.

Princess Changle glanced at Li Hanyou and said coldly: "We can't talk about these things in public. If Jingjiang has no objection, we might as well go into the palace to discuss it."

Li Hanyou would be happy and generous as long as things were easy to solve, and said with a smile: "That's how it should be."

Li Yuan, Qin Yi and others were very happy. In this way, they could rely on their houses for defense, and they couldn't help but admire Princess Changle with admiration. At the moment, Fengyimen swordsmen surrounded Xiaoshuang Palace. Li Yuan and others entered Xiaoshuang Palace cautiously. The guards controlled the entrances and exits of all parties. Li Yuan sat on the dragon chair, and Qin Yi and Cheng Shu were separated on the left and right. , Concubine Ji and Li Hanyou stood opposite, confronting each other, the atmosphere was dull, and neither of them knew how to speak. At this time, Princess Changle stood up, bowed to Li Yuan first, and said: "Princess Jingjiang, no matter how you argue, you are always besieging your father. This is an act of rebellion, whether it is the prince or the second brother. I'm afraid you can't tolerate this kind of thing. Moreover, your purpose is just to temporarily let your father rest in Xiaoshuang Palace. If you use force to make your father unacceptable, it will not be of any benefit to you. If you are willing to be calm and peaceful, Let’s have a talk with my father and discuss a few conditions. Isn’t it better to fight and kill like we are now? Besides, the second emperor brother has now broken out, so your priority is not to get entangled here.”

Li Hanyou's expression changed. She naturally understood what Princess Changle said, but how could Li Yuan agree to what she asked for? She glanced at Concubine Ji, with a questioning look in her eyes. Concubine Ji smiled and said: "Changle is indeed a sensible person. We don't ask for much. We ask the emperor and General Qin to hand over the military talismans so that we can mobilize General Qin's army. After the completion of the matter, the prince will naturally come to the emperor. Please forgive me."

Li Yuan and others showed angry expressions on their faces and were about to refuse, but Princess Changle already said: "This matter is of great importance and cannot be decided rashly. Why don't you guys wait outside for a while and let us discuss it."

Li Hanyou thought for a while and said, "Is it enough time to stick to incense?"

Her request was very harsh, but Princess Changle immediately said: "There is enough time. Please wait outside for a while, so that I can persuade my father. Concubine Yan, don't you want to ask about Brother Sixth Emperor's situation? ?”

Concubine Yan Guifei was without a master. When she heard what Princess Changle said, she said, "Zheng'er, where is Xian'er? I don't believe that he would do such a thing without a king or a father."

Qin Zheng glanced at Li Hanyou with embarrassment, and Li Hanyou said calmly: "Go and explain to the empress." After that, he turned around and walked out of the palace door. Concubine Ji also smiled and invited Queen Dou and Concubine Yan to the side hall to talk. At that time, only Princess Changle, Li Yuan and others were left in the palace.

When Li Yuan saw that the person was gone, he asked in confusion: "Changle, what are you doing?"

Princess Changle smiled slightly and said: "Father, the situation is dangerous now, but the second emperor brother has escaped, and King Qin's rescue is just around the corner. If something happens to my father, how can I bring order to the chaos anyway, so my father might as well endure it for the time being. Presumably, they did not dare to attack the father before they caught the second emperor brother. The father can also temporarily preserve some of his strength to prevent them from jumping over the wall in a hurry and hurting the father, mother and concubine."

Li Yuan sighed: "I don't know this truth, but their requirements are too harsh. If you give them the military talisman, not to mention that your second emperor brother will lose his life, even I will become someone else's bag. "

Princess Changle said: "Father, there is no need to worry about this. If they want soldiers to fulfill the imperial edict, just give it to them. However, the people who command General Qin's army are the general's confidants. Isn't there a private token? When the time comes, plus Father A secret decree and it will be done."

Qin Yi's expression changed and he said: "Your Majesty, this is feasible. Qin Yong is my nephew and is loyal to the royal family. Please ask the emperor to write a secret edict and stamp it with a private seal. He knows him, and with my token, he must be acquainted with me." You can send him to work for the King."

Li Yuan looked happy and said, "Okay, Changle is really thoughtful." But after taking a look, there was no pen and paper around him. Chang Le took out a white silk handkerchief from his arms and said, "Father, as long as you stamp it with your private seal, someone will naturally write the decree later."

Li Yuan looked hesitant. At this moment, he really couldn't believe anyone. Princess Changle saw this and said quickly: "Father, I have no choice. If you had written the decree, this secret decree would never be sent out. Father Your Majesty, you also know that there has always been some quarrel between the son and the prince, how can you still help them?"

Li Yuan glanced at Chang Le again, finally took off the ring on his hand, and stamped his private seal on the silk handkerchief. Princess Changle quickly took the silk handkerchief and looked at Qin Yi. However, Qin Yi did not hesitate and handed Princess Changle a jade pendant. This jade pendant was very ordinary. Princess Changle couldn't help but be a little confused. Qin Yi said: "This is Yong." He must recognize the birthday gift my son gave me." Princess Changle felt relieved and said: "General, I'm afraid General Qin Qing has been detained by Fengyi Sect. You might as well ask them to send General Qin here later. "Qin Yi's expression darkened and he said nothing.

At this time, Li Hanyou said loudly: "The time has come, I have come in." When he came in this time, Li Hanyou's face was covered with frost, and it seemed that the result was certain. Princess Changle said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Jingjiang, my father has agreed to your request, but we also have conditions."

Li Hanyou's expression changed and he said: "As long as it's reasonable, we can discuss it."

Princess Changle smiled and said: "These conditions are not harsh. First, if the second emperor brother does not come in person, or if you see the second emperor brother's head, you are not allowed to harass my father again."

Li Hanyou said simply: "There is no problem with this. Unless the rebellion is eliminated, we will naturally not disturb His Majesty."

Princess Changle said calmly: "The second condition is that General Qin Qing has probably been controlled by you. There should be no problem in sending him here, right?"

Li Hanyou smiled coldly and thought that Qin Qing was no longer of use, so he said: "There is no problem at all. I will send him here later." Although she did not show any expression, there is no one in this palace who is not a master of observing words and emotions. , immediately saw through her thoughts, and became even more disgusted.

Princess Changle smiled slightly and said: "This third condition is for me. I and my concubine's maids are all in Hanxiang Garden. Now there is chaos in the hunting palace. I want those few The maid also came to Xiaoshuang Palace, I wonder if it is allowed?"

Li Hanyou thought to himself, even if you don't mention it, I can't let you go back to Hanxiang Garden. He nodded and said: "Of course, I will send someone to pick them up right away."

Princess Changle said: "Wait a minute, please take him with you. When I left Hanxiang Garden, I once said that they were not allowed to leave Hanxiang Garden unless ordered by me. Let this slave go back and pass on my message." Order, and avoid more trouble."

Li Hanyou was about to refuse, but after hearing the last sentence, he felt it made sense. Some things were better known than seen. If everyone knew about it, it would be troublesome even if they kept silent about it in the future. She glanced at Concubine Ji, saw her nodding slightly, and said, "That's fine, that's it."

Princess Changle smiled and said: "Then I'll ask Jingjiang to do it. If there are no problems, after General Qin Qing and my maid arrive, my father will give you the military talisman."

Li Hanyou's eyes flashed and he said: "What if I fulfill my promise but the emperor regrets it? I don't have that much time to tangle with you."

Li Yuan snorted coldly, but Princess Changle said coldly: "If this is the case, I will give you my life."

Li Hanyou smiled proudly and said: "Okay, a gentleman, let's speed up." After saying that, she raised her right hand, Princess Changle smiled faintly, stepped forward, raised her delicate hands, the two of them high-fived each other, and their eyes met. A hint of coldness flashed across the center.

Princess Changle smiled faintly again and took out a jade pendant with a snow-white silk handkerchief wrapped around it. Princess Changle handed the jade pendant to Xiao Liuzi and said, "Go tell Zhou Shangyi and ask her to bring all of us here. "

Li Hanyou looked around and saw that most of the silk handkerchief was exposed, with no writing or ink marks on it, so she did not step forward to check it. After all, she did not want to offend the royal family too much. In any case, the Fengyi Sect would be controlled through the Dayong royal family in the future. of the political situation.

Xiao Liuzi took the jade pendant and silk handkerchief and respectfully excused himself. Li Hanyou made a gesture, and Xie Xiaotong followed with two female Fengyimen swordsmen.

Princess Changle breathed a sigh of relief and finally completed the task entrusted by the man. She looked at Li Hanyou with a smile and said, "It will probably take a while. Would you like a cup of tea in Jingjiang?"
