Chapter 12 The Hoe
Duke Xing’s Mansion.
"Liu Renneng is just a bucket! A strong man in the second level of Qi training can't even solve the problem of a waste who has just entered Qi training. It's really angering me!" Li Yao threw the jade slip in his hand and stared at his current aide: "What should I do now? Li Ye has returned to Chang'an. Liu Renneng hasn't replied yet. Could it be that he is dead?!"
The staff member who looked like a Confucian scholar sighed, "It is said that Liu Renneng would not fail, but if my green jade glass gourd was taken away by Li Ye, if Liu Renneng underestimated the enemy, it would be impossible for him to fail... The problem now is that our people still saw the Taoist priests in the Taixuan Palace on the street being brought back to Prince An's mansion by Li Ye."
"Those Taoist priests must be snatched out!" Li Yao gritted his teeth, "If those Taoist priests confessed to me, they were sued by Li Ye to Chang'an Prefecture and Zongzheng Temple, and everyone in the world would know that I, Li Yao, was plotting to murder Li Ye!"
The staff pondered for a moment and asked tentatively: "Now the Duke of China is going out for a business trip, and it will take two days to return. This is a big deal. Should we make plans when the Duke of China returns?"
Li Yao was even more angry and stared at the aide with a gloomy face: "What do you mean is that I can't even deal with a waste that I can't practice for twenty years, and I want my father to stand up for me?"
The aide opened his mouth and wanted to speak but stopped. What could he say?
"Although my father went out to do a business and took away the masters in the mansion, there were still a few guests on the first and second floors of Qi training. Li Ye had just entered Qi training. Even if there was a Qingyu Glazed Gourd in his hand, after all, there were no other Qi training technicians in the An Palace. How big can he make? What's more, the officials and guards of the An Palace are not without me!"
Li Yao quickly made up his mind, "The people who sent orders to Prince An's mansion set fire at night and stirred up chaos. Our people took action at the same time to snatch the Taoist priests. In any case, they should not let the Taoist priests be proved by the Taoist priests in turn... The night is long and dreamy, go and arrange it immediately!"
The staff thought about it and there was no better way, "It's all that is going to be like this."
Li Yao said viciously: "If things go wrong, at worst, I can only take action by myself. I don't believe it. Then Li Ye can really turn over and compete with me for the title of Prince An? It's such a fool!"
The staff member was stunned and dared not say more.
As a genius among the clan’s family, Li Yao now has the third level of Qi training!
A cultivator in the world, who has not achieved the championship in his qi training in his 20s, is a top-notch genius. He has reached the third level of Qi training in his twenties, and his cultivation is already amazing.
Today, in Chang'an City, there are not many masters with high qi training levels. Among them, the one with the highest cultivation level is the lieutenant of the Shence Army, the eunuch Liu Xingshen and Han Wen.
As the General of the Left Guard, Duke Xing himself has the middle stage of Qi training, but there are very few guests in the mansion who have reached the third level of Qi training.
After all, if you have the third level of Qi training, you may become a fifth-rank official and follow the rules of the Tang Dynasty, and be in charge of the governor of a state, that is, the fourth-rank. How could such a master become someone else's aide?
......
Originally, when Li Ye was not awarded the title of King An when he was accused of the ceremony, Li Yao would immediately seek the title of King An. According to Li Ye's previous life experience, Li Yao succeeded, which was only half a month later.
So at present, there are already many people in Prince An’s mansion who defected to Li Yao and seized the opportunity to shake his tail and beg for mercy at him, the "new master".
Li Yao's order was quickly conveyed to Prince An's Mansion.
Song Ziwen, the head of the military officer, Zhao Xingyuan, the head of the guard, and Qian Zhong, the manager, gathered in a remote room and secretly discussed the implementation of Li Yao's plan.
"Since Li Ye's mansion returned from Taixuanding, the prince's mansion has been in chaos. Shangguan Qingcheng instructed the soldiers to make trouble in the mansion and spread the story of Li Ye in Taixuanding when he saw people. In the current prince's mansion, who did not see Li Ye respectfully? If this continues, it will take a few days to be his father, Li Ye!"
Song Ziwen, the recorder, said angrily.
"Li Ye was also trampling on shit, which allowed him to gain the fortune left by Master Yuan Tian, and entered the Qi Refining Period in one fell swoop... He achieved Qi Refining, and his identity immediately changed. It was also expected that people in the royal palace would flatter Li Ye and flatter him."
The head of the guard Zhao Xingyuan said in a deep voice.
"Oh, who would have thought that a waste who has not been able to practice for twenty years will suddenly achieve Qi training?" Qian Zhong, the manager sighed, "Fortunately, Mr. Yao has responded in time. As long as the matter is not delayed tonight, Mr. Yao will still occupy the general trend."
"Not bad! Mr. Yao is a genius in the royal family, and his father is a Duke of the Kingdom and the general of the Left Guard. His power is deeply rooted, unlike Li Ye. Since the death of King An, there has been no Qi training technician in the mansion. As long as the matter is done tonight, with Mr. Yao's power, he will still be able to obtain the title of King An, and he will still be able to win the title of King An!" Song Ziwen said.
"Song Zongjun is right. Tonight's incident is the opportunity for us to make contributions. As long as we help Mr. Yao accomplish this, why worry that Mr. Yao will not use us seriously after he enters Prince An's mansion?" Zhao Xingyuan's eyes were firm, "Since we have defected to Mr. Yao, there is no way out!"
Everyone was talking when there was a sudden voice outside the house. Song Ziwen frowned, got up and opened the door, and scolded coldly: "What's the noise?"
"Report to join the army, the prince passed the message, and held a banquet in the mansion today to celebrate the achievements of the prince's qi training. Joining the army and others were also invited." A warning man ran out of the door.
Song Ziwen, Zhao Xingyuan, and Qian Zhong looked at each other and showed excitement from time to time: "Since there is a big banquet today, when the banquet is underway, it is the opportunity for us to set fire! Li Ye is really seeking death!"
At dusk, all the officials and generals of the royal palace gathered in the establishment of a hall.
Inside and outside the hall, lanterns hang high, silk and bamboo sounds, servants and maids carry dishes and shuttle back and forth, which is very lively.
Li Ye was in the chief position, looking at him constantly coming in to congratulate his subordinates, generals, and smiled.
As a reborn person, Li Ye knew very well that many people in Prince An's mansion had defected to Li Yao at this time.
After all, at this time of his previous life, Li Yao was about to get the title of King An. Those who knew the current affairs of the royal palace rushed to surrender to Li Yao and show their loyalty in order to get a heavy use and be promoted when Li Yao entered the palace of King An.
If Li Ye wants to truly control the An Prince's Mansion, he must remove these people.
"The royal palace has eight hundred guards and dozens of officials. If you get allegiance to these people and gather the luck of the people through the dragon energy, I don't know if my cultivation can go further and enter the second level of Qi training." Li Ye saw everyone entering the hall one after another and sat down, he thought silently.
As a great monk who has been born today, Li Ye is very dissatisfied with his current cultivation level.
Too weak.
Because of Shangguan Qingcheng's arrangement, many people in the royal palace have become respectful and loyal to Li Ye.
As the prince of the royal family, with the cultivation level of the Qi Refining Stage, it is natural to get these things.
But the dragon energy in Li Ye's body was not moving for a long time. After careful observation, Li Ye found that since he returned to the palace, the dragon energy was shrouded in a haze, faintly blocking the gathering of everyone's luck.
Li Ye had extraordinary knowledge and quickly analyzed the reason: "This is a phenomenon that villains are in power and luck is difficult to gather."
The loyal and upright people around you will naturally make you prosperous, while the villains around you will play the opposite role.
To gather the luck of the crowd and achieve the goal of "large crowds of people", it is necessary to eliminate villains.
This is also easy to understand. Everyone around you has good or bad. Some people have good morals, talent and motivation, and can complement each other, and their luck will increase and they will naturally help them succeed. Some people are not enterprising, are lazy and hate work, and will only pull people to have fun, waste their fighting spirit, and corrupt their reputation, and their luck will decrease, which will naturally hinder their success.
The former is beneficial, while the latter is harmful.
For ordinary people, you need to be cautious when making friends, and for the leader, you need to be cautious when gathering people. To achieve things, you must be close to the "virtuous" and stay away from the "flattery".
Li Ye thought to himself: "To clear the haze on the dragon energy and gather the luck of the people in the royal palace smoothly, we must first eradicate these villains - those who defect to Li Yao."
Li Ye remained silent, and exchanged cups with everyone, and sang and chatted.
The singing and dancing in the hall have been changed one after another.
Two hours later, the banquet reached a refreshing place.
At this time, Shangguan Qingcheng stepped forward to report: "Criminal, everything is done."
Li Ye nodded: "Sir Jia entered the hospital."
"Get orders." Shangguan Qingcheng clasped his fists down, came to the entrance of the hall, and shouted softly: "Soldier Arc is in his seat!"
The soldier who followed Li Ye to Taixuanding was already Li Ye's confidant. At this moment, he received the order from Shangguan Qingcheng and flocked into the yard. He stood in the corridor and pressed the handle of the knife in his hand. He was energetic and aggressive, and he was eyeing the officials sitting behind the small case.
People who saw such a scene, drinking, eating, and enjoying music were shocked.
After the small case, Song Ziwen, Zhao Xingyuan and Qian Zhong, who were standing by the courtyard, all their faces changed.
After a while, everyone's eyes looked at Li Ye, who was sitting high in the hall, wanting to know what he intended.
Li Ye on the main seat had already stood up, stood with his hands behind his back, glanced at the people in the hall, and slowly spoke: "This prince has achieved qi training, which is a happy event, but some people are unhappy to see it and want to harm me. The prince had no choice but to set up the Hongmen Banquet and ordered Shangguan Qingcheng to take the opportunity to investigate. Now I want to warn you that among the people here, there are traitors in the royal palace!"
When everyone heard this, some were surprised, some were confused, some were frightened, some were nervous, and some were both different.
Someone stood up after the meal and clasped his fists at Li Ye, but he was the head of a prince's personal army. He said angrily: "I dare to ask the prince, where are these dog thieves? I am willing to be the prince and take down their heads!"
This is a clever person, who is eager to show loyalty in front of Li Ye.
Song Ziwen, Zhao Xingyuan and Qian Zhong looked at each other from a distance and all noticed their panic.
Li Ye looked at Shangguan Qingcheng, "General Shangguan, who did you find out?"
Shangguan Qingcheng took out a book, looked at everyone, and slowly recited in a pair of tightly gazes: "The recorder Song Ziwen, the head of the army, Zhao Xingyuan, the manager of Qian Zhong, intends to set fire in the royal palace tonight!"
"What?"
"What happened?"
"Damn it!"
"Where are these three dog thieves?"
The people in the hall were suddenly filled with indignation and stood up one after another, searching for Song Ziwen, Zhao Xingyuan, Qian Zhong and others.
Song Ziwen, Zhao Xingyuan, Qian Zhong's face changed drastically, and he quickly stood up and wanted to make a quibble.
Shangguan Qingcheng did not pause at all, and waved his hand: "Take it!"
The soldiers rushed forward and without saying a word, knocked the three of them down and took them to the yard, making them kneel down.
"I'm wronged, prince!"
"How could we do this if we are loyal!"
"The prince said we intend to arson, what evidence is there?!"
Song Ziwen, Zhao Xingyuan, Qian Zhong and others dared not resist. After all, there were too many soldiers in the academy, but they immediately made a statement.
"If you want evidence? I'll give you a message." Shangguan Qingcheng sneered, "Bring it up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of soldiers and soldiers pressed over a group of minor officials, soldiers and servants and entered the courtyard. Not only that, some soldiers also threw fire items, oil, fire talismans and other objects all over the ground.
Seeing these people, these things, Song Ziwen, Zhao Xingyuan, and Qian Zhong were all pale and almost wailed.
To set fire in the palace, make a big noise, and to protect Li Yao from stealing people, of course it is not possible if the show is small. Naturally, people must be arranged to prepare the arson items.
The people who were brought in by the soldiers of the Arsenal were the arson workers arranged by Song Ziwen, Zhao Xingyuan and Qian Zhong.
"This is impossible!" The three of them almost screamed.
Chapter completed!
