Chapter 5 Undercurrents (1)
On December 15, the tenth year of Yanzuo, God gave rituals.
In Xingqing Mansion, in Wuzang Epang's mansion, Wuzang Epang's black clouds are seen. Since Li Liangzuo was taken back to Xingqing Mansion, Li Liangzuo has been fostering his uncle Wuzang Epang's home for the sake of Li Liangzuo's safety.
As the emperor, Li Yuanhao still ignored this situation. Now Li Yuanhao only knows how to drink and have fun with the empress every day, and all the military and political affairs have been handed over to the empress. Although the embroidered cloud returned to the palace, Li Yuanhao's favor for her is gone forever. The brother and sister must make plans for their future.
"Dad, aunt is here." Wuzangtushan ran to Mozang Epang's face and said happily.
Mozang Epang asked Mozang Tushan, "Where is your aunt now?"
"Auntie is watching my little brother inside?" Wuzang Tushan said in a slight voice.
Mozang Epang touched his son's head, and then walked into the room in the inner room. Seeing Mozang Epang coming in, Mozang Heiyun quickly greeted, "Brother, you are back."
Mozang Epang walked to the side of Mozang Heiyun and sat down and said, "How is it? Are you still used to living in the palace recently? Did Your Majesty go to see you?"
"Your Majesty is very busy now, how can you have time to see me!" Wuzang Heiyun said complaining.
Mozang Epang took out a box from his arms, took out a jade pendant from the box and waited on Li Liangzuo's neck, and then said to Mozang Heiyun: "Everything has been almost done. The position of the prince is only one step away from Zuo'er."
"Brother, this matter is too risky. If you are not careful, you will implicate the Nine Clans." Wuzang Heiyun said with some fear.
Wu Zang Epang said with a gamble: "We seek wealth and honor in danger. This is our last chance. It is best to let them suffer both losses. In this way, Zuo'er can ascend the throne directly, and we will no longer be so worried."
Li Liangzuo, who was lying on the bed, heard his uncle say such words, and immediately felt stormy in his heart. Although Li Liangzuo didn't know what Mozang Epang's specific plan was, it can be calculated through Mozang Epang's words that he was going to plot to kill the regency.
It has been ten months since Li Liangzuo came to this world and has a certain understanding of this era. The dynasty where Li Liangzuo was located was the Western Xia period, which was coexisted with the Northern Song Dynasty. At this time, the Western Xia Dynasty was only more than ten years old. Now it is still a new country for the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom in the north. Although Li Li Liangzuo in his previous life was not particularly good, Li Liangzuo also knew that the second emperor of Xixia inherited the throne at a very young age, and died early in his twenties.
Although Li Liangzuo knew what was about to happen, he could not stop it now, and there was no need to stop it. Li Liangzuo could say that he had no favoritism for his own advantage, and Li Liangzuo knew that he was bound to win the throne under his butt.
Since Li Liangzuo was young, it was impossible to change anything. The wheel of history was still moving forward according to the original trajectory. The only difference was that there was an additional person who understood the trajectory of history in various time and space.
Li Liangzuo played with the jade pendant hanging around his neck. The jade pendant was carved with a dragon, which was a symbol of the throne. Li Liangzuo liked the gift given to him by his uncle. Although Li Liangzuo was full of confidence, Wuzang Epang had no idea. After all, this matter was of great importance.
Although Muzang Epang has made comprehensive preparations, he does not want to be charged with the crime of regicide and disobedience. In this way, not only can he get nothing, but he will even implicate the entire family. In addition, Li Liangzuo, what Muzang Epang has to do now is to find a scapegoat for himself and someone who has the same goal as him.
After searching for him, Wu Zang Epang found that only one person met his standards. He was the son of the current emperor Li Yuanhao, Li Ning, the elder brother of Li Liangzuo, which is Ning Ling Ge. In Dangxiang's words, Ling Ge means the king, and Ning Ling Ge is full of hatred for his father, and choosing Ning Ling Ge also means killing two birds with one stone.
Li Yuanhao's new queen, Wuyi, was originally Ning Lingge's fiancée. While hunting on Helan Mountain, Li Yuanhao coveted the beauty of Wuyi's new queen and appointed Wuyi as the new queen. In this way, there was a hatred for taking his wife between Emperor Li Yuanhao and Prince Ning Lingge.
In addition, after the new queen was enthroned and not moved, Li Yuanhao's mother, Empress Yeli, was inscribed into the cold palace, and was ordered to be executed by Li Yuanhao not long ago. After Empress Yeli was executed, the emperor began to vigorously suppress the power of the Yeli family in the court, and the power of the prince Ning Lingge was greatly weakened.
As the power was weakened, Prince Ning Lingge was extremely dissatisfied with Emperor Li Yuanhao, and the hatred of killing his mother and taking his wife made it even more unstoppable between Brother Ning Lingge and Emperor Li Yuanhao; but Li Yuanhao seemed to have never turned a blind eye to all this, and he trusted Ning Lingge Li Yuanhao as always.
In Li Yuanhao's opinion, it was no big deal to do what he did to his son Li Yuanhao. Killing his original queen and then marrying his daughter-in-law are all trivial matters. Suppressing the Yeli family is also to balance the court; but Li Yuanhao obviously does not understand his son. In the eyes of Brother Ning Ling, Li Yuanhao's various actions are all for the ultimate eradication of himself.
In the East Palace Prince's Mansion, Ning Lingge summoned all his confidants to make arrangements. The emperor's recent actions made Ning Lingge feel that his position as the crown prince is active. In order to maintain his position as the crown prince, or to obtain higher rights, Prince Ning Lingge is preparing to launch a coup to seek the lost dignity from his father.
"Report to the king, the prime minister asked for a visit." An eunuch walked in and said to Brother Ning Ling.
Brother Ning Ling frowned and said, "Wuzang Epang, what are he doing at this time?"
"Will the king refuse him?" asked the eunuch Xiang Ning Ling.
Brother Ning Ling thought for a while and said, "No, I will go and invite him in person."
After saying that, Ning Lingge walked towards the door of the mansion. After seeing Mozang Epang, Ning Lingge quickly saluted Mozang Epang and said, "I don't know that the Prime Minister is here, I hope the Prime Minister will forgive me."
"The king is so serious. The sudden visit of the original minister is really abrupt. I hope the king will forgive him." Mozang Epang hurriedly bowed to Brother Ning Ling and said.
"The Prime Minister is so serious. Please come in." After Brother Ning Ling said that, he asked Wu Zang Epang to enter the mansion.
After the two of them sat in the lobby, Mozang Epang was tasting tea while investigating everything in the prince's mansion. Mozang Epang wanted to know if Brother Ning Ling wanted to rebel. Before he discovered Brother Ning Ling's intention, Mozang Epang would definitely not reveal his trump card for safety.
"What do you think of this tea by the Prime Minister?" Ning Ling Ge took a sip of tea and asked Mozang Epang.
After tasting the tea, Wu Zang Epang said, "Good tea, good tea! But this tea is a little bitter and lacks a hint of sweetness."
Brother Ning Ling smiled and said, "As the saying goes, bitter first and sweet! How can there be sweetness without bitterness?"
Mozang Epang smiled and said, "The king said it is reasonable, first bitter and then sweet, endure humiliation and burden, sleeping on firewood and tasting gall, just like Goujian of the ancient Yue, finally achieving the emperor's hegemony."
As soon as Mozang Epang finished speaking, a light flashed in Brother Ning Ling's eyes.
