Chapter 4: Shallow Water, Many Turtles



Prime Minister's Mansion.

Li Linfu was sitting alone when a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in the hall.

"The Empress Dowager should be in the harem. If someone sees her coming to my Li Mansion, she will be criticized!" Li Linfu didn't even open his eyes, but he had already recognized the person in front of him.

Dugu Feng rolled up her phoenix robe, sat aside, and said disdainfully: "No big city, who can see through me?"

"Prime Minister Li, with your cultivation level, why don't you cut the Gordian knot and take down the princes and the old man, the Grand Tutor? Then everything will be in our hands. You have wasted so much time on me!"

Li Linfu opened his eyes and glanced at the idiot woman next to him with disdain.

If it was such a simple matter, why would he make such a big fuss?

As expected, Mr. X is brainless and thinks he can do whatever he wants just because of his strong background.

However, he still needs to rely on the other party's strength and power.

"Your Majesty, Dagan is not as simple as it seems on the surface. The princes are not easy to deal with. Moreover, Dagan cannot cause chaos. The old immortals in the imperial mausoleum will not sit idly by. Although they can't compare to the forces behind you, if you bother the forces behind you to take action, your business will be ruined, right?"

Li Linfu explained earnestly.

Dugu Feng's face also changed after hearing this.

She has an assessment mission to complete. If she still needs the sect's help, then it will be a problem of personal ability, and her reputation in the sect will definitely be greatly reduced.

"It's all because of that old immortal. Before he died, he set a trap for me and sent the jade seal to the emperor's mausoleum. Otherwise, I would have taken the dragon energy from it and returned to the sect to report!"

"Prime Minister Li, you have three days. If the problem cannot be solved within three days, I will forcefully take action. By then, it will not be up to me to decide whether the big move will exist or not!" Dugu Feng snorted coldly and left.

Li Linfu watched the figure leave coldly, revealing a hint of mockery and a hint of murderous intent.

The late emperor was so bewitched by this woman, how could he possibly know to bring the jade seal to the imperial mausoleum?

This was of course a plan set by himself, otherwise this woman would have run away with Da Gan's luck long ago. Once Da Gan's luck is gone, I'm afraid the dynasty will cease to exist.

I hope the princes can behave themselves for two days. After today, they should come back. Then it will depend on who has the ability to become the emperor!

The eldest prince's palace.

Li Qiankun, dressed in a Confucian robe, stood in the pavilion in the middle of the lake with his hands folded, quietly watching the fish fighting for food.

All the officials who came to visit him from last night to this morning were sent back by him. He did not meet any of them. He just told them to try not to go out and just wait.

"Your Highness, are we just going to wait like this? There must be some hidden reason behind the death of the previous emperor. The third prince ascended the throne, and Li Xiang and the Queen Mother controlled the government. This is a great disaster. Who among the princes is more qualified than you to take that position!"

The person who spoke was the commander of the guards in the eldest prince's palace, and he had been the eldest prince's personal bodyguard since he was a child.

The eldest prince continued to look at the fish in the water. After a long while, he said, "Commander Zhang, when these fish were fighting for food, did they know that someone was watching them on the shore? And is there someone watching you and me from afar?"

Commander Zhang was a little confused.

"Your Highness, it's already this hour and you're still playing dumb with me."

The eldest prince waved his hand.

"Stand down. The message I told you to pass on to the ministers is also for you. Wait, in the end, nothing else matters. The most important thing is to have a big fist!"

The Second Prince’s Mansion.

From time to time, people in armor came and went, and they did not shy away at all.

Among the four major camps guarding Gandu, two generals openly supported the second prince.

At this moment, General Nangong Zheng of the Shenji Camp and General Jia Quan of the Hubao Camp were beside the second prince.

"Second Prince, we have to do something extraordinary in the current situation. The Third Prince is obviously a puppet. We should dispatch troops into the city, purge his entourage, and execute the corrupt officials!" Nangong Zheng spoke with a ruthless look on his face.

"Yes, Second Prince, after this happened, the princes will definitely not sit idly by. If the dispute over the throne is not resolved quickly, I'm afraid that Dagan will start a war. Please make a decision as soon as possible for the sake of the people of Dagan!"

Li Gande was wearing plain clothes, but it still couldn't hide his muscular body.

He kept tapping the table with his right hand, as if thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

"Your Highness, indecision will only lead to more trouble!"

"Yes, Your Highness, time is running out and we can't wait any longer!"

After hearing this, Li Gande stood up suddenly with a cold expression.

"If Third Brother can ascend to this position with his own strength, I will certainly congratulate him, but the treacherous ministers and the evil queen are in power, and they must be eliminated!"

"Since the generals are worried about my great harm to the country, how can I, Li Gande, retreat? Everyone, speed is of the essence in war. The time is set at midnight tonight. Follow me to eliminate the treacherous ministers and kill the evildoers!"

"From tonight on, you will all be my loyal subjects and your names will go down in the history books of my great army!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" All the generals were delighted and went back to prepare for the uprising.

Li Gande was left alone, deep in thought, muttering to himself.

"Fifth brother, you are not willing to be inferior to others? What will you do?"

At this time, his fifth brother, the fifth prince Li Ganxing, quietly left the prince's mansion without anyone knowing.

Spring Breeze Tower.

The name sounds like a restaurant, but it is actually a brothel, the most famous brothel in Gandu.

But few people know that the mastermind behind this brothel is Li Ganxing, the fifth prince of Dagan.

At this moment, Li Ganxing was sitting on the fifth floor of Chunfeng Tower.

There is only one room on the fifth floor of Chunfeng Tower, and that is the room of Xueyue, the courtesan of Chunfeng Tower. Since the establishment of Chunfeng Tower, no one has ever been heard of being able to enter this room.
