Li Yunxing closed his eyes and took out a breath.

He waved his hand and asked someone to take Qian Yueshan into the cell first.

It is now the second watch in the middle of the night. If he stays here all the time, the soldiers in the city will not be able to sleep peacefully.

And when he saw that Lian Jirou seemed to have something to say, he supported the others.

"The prince is wise." Lian Jirou saluted Li Yunxing and said appreciatively.

Li Yunxing ignored her, turned around and put his hands behind his back, looking into the distance with a deep look on his face, wondering what he was thinking.

After a long time, Li Yunxing suddenly turned around and looked at Lian Jirou.

"Now that there is no one else around, what else do you want to say?"

Lian Jirou lightly pursed her red lips and whispered: "Now that the food and grass in Jingzhou have been robbed, once word spreads, it may affect the stability of the imperial court."

"His Royal Highness, you should know that the emperor is seriously ill now. Although the position of prince is already within his grasp, if the courtiers make trouble... it will be difficult for you to handle."

Lian Jirou reminded.

Li Yunxing nodded when he heard this. Of course he knew this.

Nowadays, there is chaos inside and outside the court, and various parties are everywhere. Although he is the prince, he has to be careful, otherwise he will be criticized at any time.

"But, are you going to let Qianyue Mountain go just like that?"

"Of course that's impossible!" Lian Jirou said firmly.

Qian Yueshan has been wreaking havoc in Jingzhou for many years, plundering the people's wealth and anointing. If he were spared his life, it would be difficult to appease the resentment of the people in Jingzhou.

Hearing what Lian Jirou said, Li Yunxing's originally frowning eyebrows relaxed slightly.

Lian Jirou saw the change in Li Yunxing's expression and continued: "However, it is very simple to get rid of Qian Yueshan, but his death must be valuable. If the prince is killed just because of the mistakes he committed, it will be cheaper."

Got him."

Lian Jirou slowly told Li Yunxing what he was thinking and worrying about, so that Li Yunxing could understand what he was going to do next.

"What do you mean?" Li Yunxing asked.

"Qianyue Mountain's crimes are so heinous that he deserves to be punished. But if we just kill him, can we guarantee that there won't be a second Qianyue Mountain in Jingzhou?"

Li Yunxing frowned in thought, a glint flashed in his eyes.

Lian Jirou continued: "The prince should understand that killing a Qianyueshan can prevent future troubles?"

Li Yunxing shook his head. Killing Qian Yueshan would certainly preserve peace in Jingzhou, but it would not be enough to eliminate hidden dangers.

"In that case, why not solve it from the root cause?"

Li Yunxing's eyes narrowed and he suddenly realized.

It turned out that Lian Jirou wanted to borrow Qianyue Mountain's knife to cut Liu Zhongqing's flesh.

"Your Highness, since Qian Yueshan is from the Liu family faction and betrayed Liu Zhongqing at a critical moment, I feel that Liu Zhongqing will never spare his life again."

"This is natural." Li Yunxing replied.

Liu Zhongqing is the same kind of person as him to a certain extent.

They are all extremely selfish people. As long as their own interests are involved, it is useless for anyone to ask for mercy.

"So, His Highness the Crown Prince does not need to take action personally. He only needs to wait for the Liu family and the Qianyue Mountain dog to bite the dog, while the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind."

Li Yunxing nodded when he heard this, with a smile on his face.

Lian Jirou's words made him enlightened.

Indeed, as Lian Jirou said, not everything needs to be done by Li Yunxing himself.

During this period, Li Yunxing eliminated many corrupt officials in the court, leaving him with the reputation of a evil god. Everyone was afraid of him, but disrespected him, and even wanted to pull him down because he was too afraid.

But what Li Yunxing did was just a small punishment, and it did not really touch the core of the old foxes in the court.

It is precisely because of this that many neutral factions turned against Liu Zhongqing.

If Li Yunxing had to personally handle all the affairs of the imperial court, would it still be called an imperial court?

What's more, there were so many counties in the Wu Dynasty. Even if he had three heads and six arms, he couldn't possibly conquer all of them.

To take care of it yourself, you only need to select a few of the most important areas and let others handle them.

"Therefore, it is better for me to hand him over to Liu Zhongqing together with King Zhaoyang, and to pass on what happened in Jingzhou to Liu Zhongqing for full authority. As for what Liu Zhongqing will do, I believe he knows better than me.

"

There was a sneer on Li Yunxing's lips.

"Liu Zhongqing stole the chicken but lost the rice this time. Not only did Su Zhaoyang get seriously injured, but he also lost a hundred thousand stones of food. Now he must hate Qianyue Mountain. If he doesn't take the opportunity to get rid of Qianyue Mountain, he may be in trouble in the future.

By then, even I cannot guarantee that I will be able to clean up the mess intact."

Lian Jirou slightly raised the corners of her lips in agreement.

This is what makes it beautiful!

In this way, Liu Zhongqing was completely dragged into the water without any effort.

In this case, Liu Zhongqing will definitely try his best to get rid of Qianyue Mountain, so why should he care about them?

After the court minister experienced this incident, he would definitely have a grudge against Liu Zhongqing, which dealt a fatal blow to Liu Zhongqing.

This move can't be described as ruthless and vicious!

"Then do as you say!"

Li Yunxing smiled lightly and spoke with a hint of approval and trust in his tone.

Hearing this, Lian Jirou felt a surge of joy in her heart.

She lowered her head to hide the joy on her face, and nodded respectfully: "Yes. Your Highness the Crown Prince is wise."

Li Yunxing turned to look at Lian Jirou with a lot of admiration in his eyes.

When he came to Jingzhou this time, he saw the charm of Lian Jirou that was different from all other women.

She has great ambitions, is quite strategic, knows how to advance and retreat, is good at observing words and emotions, and also knows how to win people's hearts.

With such a virtuous wife helping him, why should he worry about his future instability?

Lian Jirou felt the gentle gaze from Li Yunxing, and couldn't help showing a shy look on her face.

She knew that her performance just now would definitely satisfy Li Yunxing, and this was considered the first step.

To be the crown princess of the Wu Dynasty, it is far from enough to just know how to please him.

Martial arts, chess, calligraphy and painting are just the icing on the cake. She needs to have better qualities and even be more responsible than a man.

She has been working hard on this.

What Lian Jirou wants to be is what Li Yunxing said, a woman who can fight side by side with him and create a beautiful world together, instead of hiding behind her husband's back and being a virtuous wife.

Therefore, this incident at Qianyue Mountain was the moment for her to show herself to Li Yunxing.

Li Yunxing looked at Lian Jirou's charming face, stretched out his hand to lift her chin, and kissed her cherry lips with his thin lips.

Lian Jirou leaned into Li Yunxing's arms, catering to his enthusiasm. The two hugged each other and kissed each other until both of them were short of breath before they separated.

Li Yunxing's low and hoarse voice spoke: "Princess, you are my right-hand man. I hope that no matter what happens in the future, you will be by my side."
