Chapter 297 The People Behind

"Don't you know?" Li Yu lowered her voice.

"Did you hear anything? I don't know anything. If you hear anything, tell me quickly. Li Gang said impatiently.

"Well, I heard from Mrs. Li that there are often guests at home and ask them to be very careful and very tired. I asked who it was, and he said that one of them was a prince, and the others were not clear. She also heard them by chance and guessed that Lord Li didn't dare to tell her anything at all.

"What do you mean they are plotting?"

Li Yu nodded.

"The truth that Lord Li told us is just vague, saying something about the orthodox country of Dacheng. According to my guess, I think they want to pull down the emperor and replace the prince. It must be like this. Half of the blood flowing from the prince now is not a great success.

"I heard about it, too. Are you right? If so, both of us will be in danger at any time. Li Gang said with great fear.

"Don't worry, Lord Li will protect us."

"He won't. It's not that you don't know what kind of person he is. If he hadn't been kind to us before and now controls our family, I wouldn't have dealt with such people. It would be too treacherous.

"Stop talking, it's useless to say more. As for what we will do in the future, everything depends on God's will."

The two brothers sighed and grasped each other's hands tightly.

In fact, Li Yu's guess is not wrong. There are three people who often come to Li's house. The first is Prince Chengde, the second is General Huang Li, and the third is Lord Wei. What they discussed is how to help Prince Chengde to the throne.

Prince Chengde is married and has no children. He is relatively young among the princes. Because he is young, it is easy to believe other people's words.

All this is because of Lord Li's wolf ambition. It was he who found Prince Chengde first.

"The prince is not only dignified, but also an example in all aspects. Your mother was born in a famous family and is a big family. If the world had been fair, you could have successfully become a prince and inherit the throne. I didn't expect that a merchant's daughter would become a queen, but now she has become an emperor. It's really..." Lord Li shook his head sadly.

"Lord Li, what do you mean?" Cheng De couldn't understand Lord Li's intention.

"Although I am not strong, I have the determination to die. As long as the prince nod, the old minister is willing to serve the prince." Lord Li knelt down.

"Get up quickly. Now that the emperor has sat down and the minister is flourishing, I don't want to do so many things." Although Cheng De is upset, he still has some admiration for Ji Liunian.

" prosperity is just an illusion. In fact, you don't know that among the people, many people oppose Ji Sichen. They all think that this is the decline of Dacheng and have come to the end. Now it is not the country of Dacheng."

"Nonsense, the emperor has swore in front of the civil and military officials that this position will be retired after five years and will be inherited by the prince."

"You're right, but have you ever thought about it? This is just her way of buying people's hearts. If she doesn't abdiccate five years later, who can pull her down? No one, the military power is all in the hands of General Gao. General Gao has a good relationship with the emperor. If he does not object, no one dares to stand up and speak. I won't say this, even if she really abdicated automatically, who is sitting in this position?

"Of course, that's Prince Chengqian today." Cheng De looked at Lord Li seriously.

"Yes, it's Prince Chengqian, who was trained by the emperor. If she chooses someone, we still have nothing to say. Think about who Cheng Qian is. Half of his blood is not great, and it is impossible for him to be a prince. Now the emperor has elected him as the prince. This is not true at all. The position of prince was originally inherited by Prince Chengde.

"But the emperor has appointed brother Chengqian as the crown prince, which cannot be changed, unless the prince dies violently."

"If the prince dies violently, the emperor will have a better reason. She will say in five years. This woman, you see, is very energetic. When she was young, she was superb in martial arts, and no one could compare with her. Now her body is also better than ordinary people. She can still sit in this position in ten years. This is a shame for Dacheng. Why did so many princes let a woman sit in this position?

Cung De thought about it.

"You're right, but I don't know if you have a way to pull the emperor down and let other princes succeed to the throne. It doesn't matter whether I sit in this position or not, as long as Dacheng's ancestors can feel at ease."

Lord Li was very happy to see that Prince Chengde was finally enlightened.

"Prince Chengde, you don't have to be modest. I took a look and found that you are the best among the many princes, and you deserve this heavy responsibility."

Cung De laughed.

"Lord Li is too much."

A few days later, Lord Li asked someone to send an invitation to ask Prince Chengde to go to Li's house, saying that he had something to discuss. Cheng De went there. At a glance, in addition to Lord Li, there was also Lord Wei and General Huang.

"They..."

Lord Li quickly and respectfully introduced it. After the introduction, he patted Chengde on the shoulder.

"Prince, they are all our people. Don't worry, we are all here to help you."

Cheng De nodded with satisfaction.

"I don't know what you plan to do."

"We just said something, and we all thought that we should separate the military power first. If General Huang holds the military power, we will be half successful." Lord Wei said with a smile.

"This makes sense, but do you have a way to act? I'm afraid this is not easy. Gao Xiaofeng has no intention of retreating at all. Even if he has this intention, the emperor will definitely choose his own person. General Huang, you may not be proud..."

"We all know this, so we are trying to figure it out." General Huang frowned and said.

Cung De sat down.

"I decided to put some of my people in front of the emperor. As for the specifics, you don't have to worry about it."

"Lord Li, what if this fails?" Although Cheng De has such a heart, he does not have such courage. He is always afraid that Ji Liunian will see through their plan and eliminate them in advance.

"If we fail, we will all give our lives. If it succeeds, prince, don't forget that we helped you."

"Of course. At that time, I would definitely let the two adults be prime ministers and General Huang command all the troops."

All four laughed.

"What's the winning chance of Lord Li?"

"I'm not very sure now, but I already have a general plan. Let General Huang hold the military power first, which is the first step. The second step is to cause civil strife in the border areas, arouse people's anger, spread rumors, and make people's lives into a mess. At that time, everyone will point the spearhead at the emperor. The third step is to give the current prince. If the prince is reluctant, we will send him to a remote place so that he cannot return to the imperial city. The fourth step is to pull the emperor off the horse.

"Lord Li's plan is good, but it is difficult to implement every step." Lord Wei said with a smile.

"Of course, there are difficulties, which requires the four of us to work together."

"Of course, haha, of course."

Cheng De couldn't help telling his imperial concubine about this plan after he went back.

"Let's live in peace, there is nothing wrong with this. If we don't succeed, we will all have to die."

"What you said is a little reasonable, but we have discussed it. If I go back on my word, I'm afraid they will do something to me." Cheng De used this as an excuse.

"What can they do? Can I still kill you? With the emperor here, they dare not touch your finger. I think you are deficient and want to be an emperor.

Chengde blushed with shame.

"What's wrong with this? This position should not be Queen Ji and Cheng Qian."

"I don't care about your business, and I won't say anything. If the situation is critical, just write me a letter of absence. I won't die with you."

Cheng De was very angry and didn't expect that his imperial concubine didn't believe him so much.
