Before Emperor Liang entered the imperial mausoleum, Zhao Guo had already led his troops to Yuzhou. Even though Li Lezhi had anticipated this, he couldn't help but feel that Zhao Guo's actions were too fast, as if he knew when the retired emperor would die.
After all, to mobilize the troops, they have to reach Yuzhou City before the retired emperor goes to the imperial mausoleum, which takes a lot of time. Fortunately, the troops mobilized by Zhaoguo will arrive little by little, and with Xiao Xuan guarding Yuzhou, there should be no problem.
However, Li Le only had a hunch that this matter was not as simple as he thought. Thinking about the priests of Zhao State, the other party's abilities, and the scene when Zhao State attacked Yue State, Xiao Xuan alone would definitely not be able to defend it.
If he went to the border, Zhao Cong, who was only three years old in the palace, might not be able to survive. Even with the Empress Dowager, the dangers in the deep palace were more than what was seen on the surface.
Li Le was only worried that Zhao Cong would die suddenly right after he left the capital. With the scheme of Prince Yin, it was impossible for an ordinary person to stop it.
The other party is trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain, which is an open conspiracy.
It was just a simple move, but it made him passive.
Li Le couldn't help but think of Zhao Xuan and Emperor Zhao. It was such a coincidence that they both died at this time. Zhao Xuan was poisoned, but Emperor Zhao became weak due to missing him too much. If Emperor Zhao had already been poisoned, then Zhao Xuan's death was just the trigger.
Never mind. Even if this is true, it cannot change the current predicament.
We need to think of a solution, maybe let Taoist Xuan Yangzi go?
Li Lezhi was just about to talk about this matter with Zhao Cong, but before doing so, he told Taoist Xuan Yangzi about his fortune, to see if he could go to Yuzhou City safely.
This calculation turned out to be very bad.
If Taoist Xuan Yangzi goes to the border, his life may be in danger.
Li Lezhi: ...
This Prince Yin was really cruel and ruthless. He already knew that Taoist Xuan Yangzi could not go, so he could not send Taoist Xuan Yangzi to die.
I was suddenly caught in a dilemma.
Li Le just figured out what Zhaoguo would do next, wrote down all their plans on paper, and had someone send it to the border.
Half a month later, a letter came from the border, saying that Zhaoguo knew all their plans and had ambushed them.
The letter contained only a few words, but it caused quite a stir.
Everyone knew that Immortal Li had already calculated and understood Zhao State's plan, but now, Zhao State was able to ambush them in return. There must have been a loophole somewhere.
"Investigate, all post stations must be checked strictly," Gongsun Gu said with a cold face. The expressions of others were not good either. The divinations calculated by Immortal Li would never be wrong. The news must have leaked somewhere.
There is a post station every ten miles on the official roads of Daliang. If there are spies from Zhao State hiding in these post stations, then all the movements of Daliang will be known to Zhao State.
"Let's investigate slowly now. The border can't wait." Prime Minister Xia shook his head and said slowly, "This matter still requires the intervention of the Imperial Master. Find out all the spies of Zhao State."
"My two prime ministers, I am afraid that Zhaoguo's spies have already left Daliang. What I am worried about now is that if Zhaoguo spreads rumors about this incident to slander the national teacher, the people of Daliang will lose their morale and the consequences will be disastrous."
“…”
Everyone fell silent. Zhaoguo's move was heartbreaking. The people of Daliang were not afraid of Zhaoguo because they had the existence of Li Shenxian in Daliang. Li Shenxian's fortune-telling skills were unmatched. If one day, the fortune-telling of Li Shenxian was no longer accurate, it would make everyone present feel despair.
Zhaoguo's move is to destroy God.
For a moment, everyone didn't know how to start.
After a long while, Gongsun Gu slowly said:
We need to find a solution to this problem as soon as possible. If the soldiers at the border become desperate, they will be powerless to fight back."
"This matter must be done quickly!"
After Gongsun Gu finished speaking, no one dared to hesitate at this time, and they immediately arranged people to investigate who leaked the news.
No matter how much the officials disliked each other, at this moment, they all cooperated with each other.
After Li Le learned about the situation at the border, he did not doubt that his hexagram was wrong this time, compared to the past. Although the incident happened in the second thing, it seemed that the hexagram he calculated had changed because of the previous hexagram.
But he calculated the border affairs many times, and the result he got was exactly the one he sent to the border.
If it weren't for the fact that his fortune-telling skills were flawed, someone had leaked the news, and there were so many post stations, it would have taken an unknown amount of time to investigate, and by that time Yuzhou City would have been broken.
What's more dangerous is that Li Le could only guess that if one cheat was ineffective and the other was still using the invincibility cheat, Daliang could still beat the other side, which would be the real cheat from God.
Prince Yin's plan should not be underestimated. Every step he takes will lead people into an abyss.
The fact that the other party was able to arrange personnel at the post station shows that they have infiltrated Daliang. The former Prince An and the Sixth Prince really made a lot of efforts in this.
Li Le only counted the secret agents hidden in the post station and found that there were only two secret agents in the post station, scattered in different places. It happened that the places where these two people were located were not on the route to Yuzhou.
Because it was calculated that Xuan Yangzi's life would be in danger, the people who delivered the letter this time had one person in the open with a blank letter, and the other was delivered by a secret guard.
The secret guard had returned long ago after delivering the letter, so the letter must have been delivered accurately and did not pass through the post station where the two people were, so it was not the secret guard at the post station who leaked the news of this incident.
Then, the only people who could know about this were those who had contact with him in the palace. At this moment, Li Le's hands and feet were cold. This person could contact the secret guards and see what he wrote.
There is only one person who fits this description.
Eunuch Liu, an old man serving Emperor Zhao, is regarded as a close confidant by Emperor Zhao. How could such a person be from Zhao State?
He has been serving Emperor Zhao since he was a child and is now an old man.
If the other party was the Emperor Zhao's man, Li Lezhi simply couldn't believe that the other party was hiding so deeply. Then the death of Emperor Zhao was not a coincidence, but inevitable.
In order to verify whether his guess was correct, Li Le just told a fortune and the result he got was just as he guessed.
Li Le's heart sank. He thought of the fact that Emperor Zhao was still alive. He had calculated that there were still some ways to increase grain production. As Emperor Zhao's confidant, Eunuch Liu must have known about it. If the other party really told these two prescriptions to Zhao State, Daliang's advantage would be gone.
However, Zhaoguo got the things but never used them. He was really good at hiding them. How could he plot against Prince Yin... Li Le just wanted to die in panic, so he didn't want to challenge the other party's expertise.
No matter how cunning he is, his mind is not as cunning as the other party, who is the one who can stand out from the crowd of princes and ascend the throne.
However, it is a good thing to know that Eunuch Liu is Zhaoguo's secret agent hidden in Daliang. It is better than hiding in the dark and giving them a heavy blow.
Li Le only asked Xiao Wu to control Eunuch Liu.
Xiao Wu agreed and immediately rushed to Eunuch Liu's place, intending to capture him, but he did not expect that he had already committed suicide by taking poison.
Didn't give them any chance.
Li Le only knew that he had already prepared for the worst. He glanced at the man standing beside him.
Zhao Cong beside him said: "Your Majesty, come and read the latest chapter.
Are you scared?
Zhao Cong shook his head (w)?
His face was gloomy (w)?,
The little hands in the sleeves were clenched.
"Your Majesty, are you willing to go with me to Yuzhou?
The emperor leads the army in person?"
Li Lezhi was not at ease leaving Zhao Cong alone in the palace. The only way was for him to take Zhao Cong north to Yuzhou.
But going to Yuzhou was also dangerous as Zhao Cong was too young. In the past, there had never been an emperor who led an army to war at the age of three.
"I will go," Zhao Cong said seriously, adding, "Master, I will go."
Although he was young, he knew the crisis in Daliang and the hard defense of Yuzhou. Zhaoguo knew everything.
The incident with Eunuch Liu made him realize that if he stayed in the palace, he would be in danger of death, but only by going to Yuzhou with his master could he survive and it would also boost morale, killing two birds with one stone.
After getting Zhao Cong's answer, Li Lezhi arranged the matter without any hesitation. Before leaving, he informed Prime Minister Gongsun that Eunuch Liu was a secret agent of Zhao State, and that Zhao Cong was going to lead the army in person.
The news that Eunuch Liu was a secret agent of Zhao State shocked the court. Everyone looked horrified, even the two prime ministers could not help but feel terrified.
This is a huge matter.
Eunuch Liu was an old man who served the late emperor. All the memorials they submitted and some secret matters had to go through Eunuch Liu's hands. And such a person was actually a secret agent of Da Zhao. This was terrifying to think about.
Da Zhao knew everything about the deployment of troops in Daliang, the grain stored in the national treasury, the military weapons, etc.
Eunuch Liu had never been exposed before, but since he committed suicide by taking poison this time, he must have transmitted everything in Daliang to Zhaoguo last time.
After all, if a person like Eunuch Liu wanted to stay safe, he would definitely not contact Dazhao on a normal day. He would only use his only life to convey a message at the most critical moment.
What scares the officials even more is that every eunuch around the emperor is a secret agent of Zhao State. When the previous emperor dies, no one will pay attention to the death of the personal eunuch, and they will just think that the eunuch died for the master.
Gongsun Gu frowned. The rest of the people were already a thing of the past. What happened to Eunuch Liu was happening right before their eyes. What Eunuch Liu knew was more important than what those people knew. Gunpowder, grain, etc., were originally the foundation of Daliang, but now they became the things of Zhaoguo. Even, Zhaoguo would know that they had these things.
This happened too suddenly. All the conspiracies and tricks are useless. It is time for Daliang and Dazhao to fight to the death.
Those who succeed will be remembered for thousands of years.
The loser will lose his country.
Only a few words were recorded in history books, or even their existence was erased, and later generations are unaware of their existence.
Gongsun Gu looked at Prime Minister Xia and said, "Brother Xia, when His Majesty is away, you and I must stay in the rear and not allow anyone to have the opportunity to cause chaos."
Prime Minister Xia's face was not looking good either, but he nodded after hearing what Gongsun Gu said.
This time, they can't continue to confront each other as they did in the past. His Majesty has left the capital and the four princes are still there. If the third prince wants to take the opportunity to seize the throne, they can only kill him.
Gongsun Gu didn't know what Prime Minister Xia was thinking, but he was very worried. Zhao Cong was his great-grandson and the emperor. He was only three years old and had to go to the battlefield to lead the army at such a young age. He knew that he only needed to stay in the rear, but the road was so bumpy with such a young child. What should he do if something happened to him?
What if the third prince takes the opportunity to seize the throne?
Before anyone could worry about this, news came from Liangzhou.
