Half in the river wind, half in the clouds

Chapter 128 The oriole is behind

After the two of them talked it out, Jiang Feng finally didn't have to worry about Guan Shanyun being entangled by the beautiful snake.

He then discussed with Guan Shanyun how to send Chu Yan to Old Man Sun.

Guan Shanyun said: "According to Aying's personality, she will definitely not let Chu Yan leave unless she hands over the imperial edict."

Jiang Feng nodded: "Sister Aying is determined to inherit the will of Emperor Wu and assist Prince Ning, but she doesn't know that she is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot."

Guan Shanyun said: "Aying is stubborn, and so are you! How come you were sure from the beginning that the prince would be able to ascend to the throne?"

Jiang Feng thought of the bet between her and Yuan Ying, and just hoped that Li Dan would abdicate as soon as possible.

She had a big problem, she was not sensitive to numbers and years. So, she knew that during the battle between Li Longji and Princess Taiping, Li Dan had given up the throne twice, and he must have failed the first time.

However, she could not remember the exact year and time when Li Dan abdicated for the first time. She only vaguely felt that it was the second year after Li Dan ascended the throne.

She avoided answering Guan Shanyun's question and said, "No matter what, I have to drag Sister Yuan Ying out."

Guan Shanyun didn't know about the bet between the two, and shook his head and said, "Li Tang is the world, and it's no use to provoke the two of you to stand apart!"

In Guan Shanyun's opinion, Jiang Feng, like Li Longye, is a true prince.

But can the prince really ascend the throne safely and securely?

He looked worried and said, "Don't just worry about Yuan Ying, think about yourself too!"

Jiang Feng said: "Me? Can Chu Yan still stir up trouble in this state? And Yuan Ying..."

Jiang Feng paused and said, "Now that we know where the enemy is, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Guan Shanyun asked, "Do you know why Prince Xue asked me to follow him to Chang'an?"

Jiang Feng was originally very confused, but because so many things had happened in the past few days, he had no chance to ask. When Guan Shanyun mentioned it, he asked, "I have always wondered, when did big brother get along with the prince?"

Guan Shanyun looked solemn and said, "Although Ah Ying's temperament has changed drastically, do you really think she will kill you?"

Jiang Feng said: "But Mingque has already admitted it."

Guan Shanyun said: "Mingque only wronged you and hated you, but she never admitted to harming you. Her and Yuan Ying's plan was all for Prince Ning to ascend the throne. She came forward to recruit people from the martial arts world, but the killing moves made by those people from the martial arts world against you were not made by Yuan Ying."

Jiang Feng said: "Did the prince tell you this?"

Guan Shanyun nodded and said, "Yes. If it's not Yuan Ying, then it must be the person behind Yuan Ying. So, the one who wants to kill you may be Prince Ning!"

Jiang Feng took a deep breath, thinking of the image of Ning Wang Li Chengqi, who was still handsome in his middle age, and said, "Then he is too stingy!"

Guan Shanyun continued, "I don't know what happened in Chang'an. The Crown Prince sent a message a few days ago that Qi Wang Li Longfan and Xue Wang Li Longye were dismissed from their posts as Left and Right Generals of the Imperial Guards. His Majesty also asked the two princes to move out of Chang'an, and Xue Wang was sent out as the Governor of Liangzhou."

Jiang Feng was shocked: "The prince was exiled to Liangzhou?"

Guan Shanyun said: "So, he was worried that Prince Ning would make another move, and he was not in Chang'an, so he asked me to stay in Chang'an and take care of you for a while."

Jiang Feng lowered his head and said nothing. Could King Ning really be so crazy? He already knew that he was the mastermind, so would he dare to deal with him? So he said, "My home is always safe. I have no relatives or friends in Chang'an, so I stay at home honestly. What can he do?"

Guan Shanyun shook his head.

Jiang Feng added, "If it really doesn't work, I will go back to live with Princess Taiping. Although she wanted to chase me away, she still took revenge on me when I fell into her trap. Not only Chu Yan, but also Prince Xue Wei Huazhuang was kicked out of the banquet. I think she still loves me."

Guan Shanyun still shook his head and said, "King Xue just doesn't want you to be involved with the Space Princess anymore."

The river wind was silent.

She had originally wanted Li Longye and Li Longji to form a united front, and had included this in the "Three Articles of Agreement" between her and Li Longye.

Li Longye really followed the rules.

Instead, she herself was frantically testing the gray area between Princess Taiping and Li Longye.

It's really the authorities who are confused.

Guan Shanyun saw her deep in thought and said, "Besides, Princess Taiping will be settled in Luoyang, the eastern capital!"

Jiang Feng was shocked again! Did this happen in history?

She asked, “Is the news reliable?”

Guan Shanyun said: "The news sent by the prince is absolutely true!"

Jiang Feng frowned and said, "Prince Qi and Prince Xue are the prince's men. Now both of them have been dismissed from their posts as generals of the Yulin Army. The prince's power in the army has been weakened even more."

Guan Shanyun nodded. Li Longye had made the same analysis at that time.

Jiang Feng added: "If the princess moves to Luoyang, she will be forced to stay away from the political center and will no longer be able to influence the affairs of the court."

Guan Shanyun said: "Princess Taiping is very kind to you. If she moves to Luoyang, you don't have to be torn between the prince and her."

Jiang Feng disagreed: "Brother, do you think the princess is really willing to stay in Luoyang?"

Guan Shanyun said: "The imperial decree has been issued. What can we do if we are unwilling to accept it?"

Jiang Feng said: "The current emperor is very fond of this sister. During the autumn hunt this year, the Crown Prince issued a decree of 'Ten Prohibitions', and the emperor naturally asked the princess for her opinion. Now, although the emperor has ordered the princess to go to the Eastern Capital, it is not uncommon for him to change his orders from one day to the next."

Guan Shanyun was surprised. He didn't expect that the little girl from Liangzhou City could analyze the situation in the court so carefully.

Jiang Feng's next words surprised him even more. Jiang Feng asked, "What do you think would happen if Princess Taiping returned to Chang'an?"

Guan Shanyun's mind was not on the court, and he was too lazy to think about these issues.

But Jiang Feng's question made him understand the crux of the problem at once. He said, "The princess must be extremely resentful of the prince. If she returns to the court, she will definitely launch a mad counterattack and make life difficult for the prince!"

Jiang Feng thought of another layer. She said, "Princess Taiping and I were attacked in Zhongnan Mountain. The group kept saying that it was the Crown Prince who ordered it, and the Crown Prince had no way to defend himself. From then on, the relationship between Princess Taiping and the Crown Prince took a sharp turn for the worse."

Guan Shanyun knew that Jiang Feng and Princess Taiping had been on the run for a day and a night, and that Jiang Feng was almost humiliated. He was still terrified when he heard about it later.

Thinking of this, his mind was no longer on the disputes in the court. He even wanted to take her away from all the right and wrong and go to the south of the Yangtze River with its willows, painted bridges, and green curtains.

Jiang Feng was still analyzing seriously: "This time, the prince lost both wings, and he must think it was the princess's fault. And the princess will also put the blame on the prince, just like what my brother said just now. I'm afraid the relationship between the aunt and nephew will become even more incompatible."

Guan Shanyun finally said, "While the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is waiting behind. There is always someone else who reaps the benefits."

The person who reaps the benefits is the mastermind behind the conflict between the aunt and nephew.

Now with Yuan Ying's appearance, that person finally stepped out from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.

But Jiang Feng hesitated, she remembered that the five brothers of Li Longji had a very good relationship. There was no record in history books that Prince Ning and Li Chengqi competed for the crown prince.

He was a carefree prince from beginning to end, so Li Longji posthumously named him "Emperor Rang" after his death!

Perhaps, the history books were too brief to record those minor quarrels. Or perhaps, the history books deliberately concealed the quarrels among the princes of the royal family and whitewashed the false impression of a brotherly friendship!
