Chapter 69 Hints to failure

With a good string, she suddenly broke off by herself with a "bang". A sense of ominousness rose in Ning Tang'er's heart. After several consecutive days of in questioning, she probably knew that Ji Yu Guang was imprisoned, but she suffered from strict supervision, so that she could not find a chance to get close at all.

Wei Er suddenly came in, "Madam, the prince is coming!"

Ning Tanger hesitated for a moment. The arrival of King Wei caused a kind of panic in her heart. Although she knew that King Wei was busy with government affairs these days and had no time to take care of her at all, she could not contain fire in paper. She was also afraid that her excessive concern for Ji Yu Guang would become gossip and spread to Wei Wang's ears. How should she explain it? Moreover, King Wei rarely comes to the leisure pavilion during the day. Why did he suddenly visit today?

"Go and see the tea!" Ning Tang'er held the pipa with a broken string and said to Wei'er.

As soon as the words fell, Zhuo Ruitong came in and said, "Why, Aiji doesn't seem to be in a high mood?" His eyes glanced at Ning Tanger and soon saw the broken string. "Oh, it turned out that the broken string made Ai Ji unhappy. It doesn't matter. I'll send someone to send some good strings later, won't I?"

"If things are used for old, it will naturally go bad." Ning Tanger slowly got up and gave up her seat. "It's not a pity for my concubine to break the string, but suddenly I'm a little melancholy. I think that this pipa has been following my concubine to Weijun for more than a year, and in late autumn, my concubine is also one year old!"

Zhuo Ruitong smiled and said, "It's only been more than a year. I've been squatting in this cold place for more than four years, and I haven't been old!"

Ning Tanger also smiled, "The prince was only 16 years old when he left Beijing. How can he compare with me? Forget it, not to mention that this broken string has affected the prince's mood. I can't afford to be offended. I just don't know why the prince came so early today. Doesn't he deal with political affairs?

Zhuo Ruitong sighed and sat down at the table, "Aiji, do you remember that I mentioned to you about Ji Yuguang?"

Ning Tanger was shocked. What does it mean? Did Wei Wang really find out her whereabouts? Concubine... Of course, I remember what happened not long ago. How can I not remember?"

"Well, yes, it just happened!" Zhuo Ruitong said in a heavier tone, "But what I want to tell you today is that although it has something to do with Ji Yu Guangfu, it is not completely related to Ji Yu Guangfu."

"What does Wei Wang want to say?" Ning Tanger looked at her face and saw that Zhuo Ruitong's face became solemn, so she put down the pipa and sat at the table.

"What I want to tell you is..." Zhuo Ruitong paused and then continued, "In fact, I already know who Ji Yu Guangfu is working for. This person is Lou Xun in the capital. He was awarded the title of Loyal Marquis by Empress Dowager Li for participating in the frame-up of the former crown prince Zhuo Luan!"

" Lou Xun?" Ning Tanger's face turned white, "How could Dr. Ji serve him?"

"Of course, there is a reason!" Zhuo Ruitong paused again and stared at Ning Tanger with scrutiny. "It seems that Ai Ji also knows Lou Xun's person, right?"

Ning Tanger knew that when he first heard Lou Xun's name, the instant ** had been detected by Zhuo Ruitong. He simply lowered his eyes and tried his best to say in a plain tone, "Your Majesty, don't forget that the concubine is from the Lihou Mansion. The Marquis of Li has a wide range of friends. It is estimated that few civil and military ministers of the Man Dynasty have never been guests of the Li's Mansion. He is also good at singing and dancing. It is not surprising that he occasionally comes out to entertain guests. Naturally, he knows some courtiers, but he is limited to knowing, but he has never made friends deeply.

"That's right!" At this moment, Zhuo Ruitong finally understood why Ning Tanger was involved with Ji Yuguang. The key person who contacted them was Lou Xun. It was a pity that Li Jin cleverly calculated everything, but it came to such a tragic end!

"What's right?" Ning Tanger raised her eyes doubtfully, "I don't understand?"

"Nothing, I don't mean you, but Li Hou!" Zhuo Ruitong did not want to expose Ning Tanger, because since the capture of Queen Zuo Xian and King Zuo Xian's unwillingness to cooperate, Zhuo Ruitong had to hang him first. Now, the only thing that can be used seems to be Ning Tanger. Although it is not clear how useful Ning Tanger's chess piece can play, it is better than not to try.

"Li Hou? What's wrong with Li Hou? I haven't heard anyone mention Marquis Li for a long time. Anyway, he sent his concubine to King Wei!"

"Yes, but I'm afraid you will never see your old master again, because I received the news that Li Hou had waved his sword and killed himself, including Mrs. Li and two servants, all of whom died. After their death, a fire broke out in Li's house, and the whole Li's house has been burned to ashes!" Zhuo Ruitong said slowly, "So far, probably only Li Ren's whereabouts are unknown."

Ning Tanger's eyes widened and couldn't react for a moment. Why did Li Hou, who used to call for wind and rain, suddenly die in the whole family? And the luxurious Li Mansion has nothing left overnight!

"Wang, will there be anything wrong with the message of the prince?" Ning Tanger was stunned for a long time before stammering a word. After saying that, she felt that she was an idiot. How could the prince's news be wrong about such a big thing?

Zhuo Ruitong looked deeply at Ning Tanger, "You can't even believe it, can you? Like me, after receiving the news last night, I didn't sleep all night. This news is really unacceptable.

"So, what about the rest of the Li family?" Ning Tanger's mind finally remembered the former Li's mansion. The guests were like Yunji's concubines, and thousands of people said, "They, where have they gone? When the marquis had an accident, was there no one around? Why on earth did you want to take care of yourself? Who burned Lifu again!"

"Aiji, you have asked so many questions in a row. How can I answer you?" Zhuo Ruitong sighed deeply and said, "Let me tell you the cause and effect first, the context!" I just mentioned to you that I am loyal to Hou Lou Xun. I have never dated this person, but from the perspective of my behavior, it is indeed extremely cruel. Maybe he has long been ready to usurp the throne. Unfortunately, I have not noticed it. Not only I, but also the Empress Dowager Li and Zhuo Yuanle may have been deceived by this person's disguise. ! The capital palace has now changed its master. Lou Xun led the rebels in the capital to rush to the palace. Although the Yulin army went through a desperate battle, it was finally outnumbered. After the imperial city was broken, Lou Xun immediately became the emperor. Some of the civil and military ministers were deterred by the power of Lou Xun, and some got the benefits of Lou Xun. In short, they followed him. There are not a few, and one of the preparations before Lou Xun's rebellion was to solve Li Jin Lihou. According to my guess, Li Hou holds the military power of Jingji and the brother of Empress Dowager Li. He must die, and Lou Xun can successfully seize the palace!"

"Lou Xun is the emperor!" This time, Ning Tanger was so shocked that her eyes were about to fall out, "Be the emperor! Is it so easy to be the emperor? How..."

"How can it be...isn't it?" Zhuo Ruitong smiled bitterly, "In the eyes of many people, it is not a simple thing to claim the emperor. Everyone, including me, believes that the throne is sacred, and no one can easily sit on it. But last night, I thought about it for a long time before I realized that it is really easy to be emperor, such as some folk children to play. During the play, he may make a leaf into a crown and wear it on his head, saying that he is the emperor and a prince, and other children will laugh around him and pretend to do something like a king and minister. However, because it is a game of children, no one cares about it and no one pursues it. Therefore, it is really easy to be emperor. You can call it whatever you want."

"But that's just a children's game. It's different from really usurpating the throne!" Ning Tanger shook her head and said, "Anyway, I still can't imagine what happened in the capital."

"That's right, the children are games, and Lou Xun's is not." Zhuo Ruitong smiled faintly. "I remember that when my father was alive, he said that it was easy to fight the world and it is difficult to defend the world. In fact, what is really difficult is to make the people of the world submit to all over the world. Therefore, in other words, it is easy to be the emperor, and the establishment of the dynasty is stable. Jiangshan Sheji is more than a hundred times more difficult than to be an emperor! After I got to this point, I didn't find it difficult to accept Lou Xun's claim to be emperor. He just took advantage of the emptiness of the capital. Li was seriously ill. The court was busy dealing with the king of Wu and the people's hearts were devastated, destroying Li's control of the government.

"Have you figured it out?" Ning Tanger looked at Zhuo Ruitong doubtfully, "My concubine is still frightened. Now that the world has become like this, what is the prince going to do?"

Zhuo Ruitong smiled more ambiguously, "What should I do? I don't know either. To be honest, Aiji, how about you make an idea for me? For example, what do you think of standing on the border and working with Bei Rong to fight against the Central Plains court?

Ning Tanger stared at Zhuo Ruitong in disbelief, "Your Majesty, have you been stimulated by something? Does your Majesty really want to split the country?"

"Why not? The Central Plains is no longer the world of the Zhuo family. I reserve a piece of land for the Zhuo family, and I don't turn my back on my ancestors!" Zhuo Ruitong's smile was indistinguishable from true or false, but all Ning Tanger's reactions fell into his eyes.

"But..." Ning Tanger remembered the words of King Zuo Xian. The person the King of Bei Rong intended to join hands was obviously not the King of Wei. Why is everything in a mess now? According to the time and day, it is time for Zuo Xianwang to go south to return to the Beirong boundary, but I don't know why until now, there is no news about Beirong, and even Wen Jian has no information under the Liuhua Pavilion.

"Your Majesty, you'd better think twice!" Ning Tanger calmed down and suddenly thought that this might be just a temptation for Zhuo Ruitong. She said, "What are you going to do in exchange with Bei Rong and the prince?"

"What do you think Aiji should do in exchange?" Zhuo Ruitong asked quietly.

The ball kicked back again. Ning Tanger was even more uncertain about Zhuo Ruitong's true intention, so she had to say, "Your Majesty, my concubine is just a weak woman, and she is not as talented as Mrs. Shadow. You ask my concubine, but it's a pity that she is blind. For current politics, my concubine is completely incomparable!"

"Ha ha!" Seeing this, Zhuo Ruitong's words changed, "I just made an example and came up an idea, but I don't know how to put it into action. Alas, it's a pity that Nie Kong hasn't returned, and Mrs. Ying can't come back immediately if she has something to do. Otherwise, they may be able to think of a good way out for me."

Ning Tanger guessed wrong. In fact, Zhuo Ruitong didn't need to test her at all, but the capital suddenly changed. Zhuo Ruitong was worried that although the king of Zuo Xian had been controlled by himself, the king of Beirong would still take the opportunity to act. At this time, Nie Kong had no news. Huanying, even if the flying eagle had passed the book, he had to be ready to fight. It takes time, so now he can only rely on hinting that Ning Tanger has the intention to join hands with Bei Rong to delay Bei Rong and confuse Bei Rong.

However, Ning Tanger was also alert and did not put on the trap easily, so Zhuo Ruitong pretended to be understated to change the topic, and his heart was a little impatient.

"It's time for them to hear that such a big thing has happened in the capital. Why haven't they come back yet?" Ning Tanger asked.

"How can it be so fast!" Zhuo Ruitong sighed, "I only received the news last night, let alone them? Now there are not many people who can really understand what's going on. I'm afraid that most of the people are still in the dark!"
