Over at the royal enclosure, Feng Tianyu rescued Li Kun and heard a big news from Li Kun: "There was a palace coup in the Zong Sui Dynasty, and the second prince Li Jian forced his way to the throne. Under his tyranny, he not only massacred a large number of the loyal ministers left by my father, but also wanted to kill all of us princes. To be honest, my sister Li Yue was a traitor and actually defected to Li Jian, and even wanted to kill me, her brother. The last time I went to the court of the Zong Sui Dynasty, the new emperor Li Jian was planning to no longer submit to Dashun and intended to start an army. I felt something was wrong and raised objections, but he retaliated wantonly. I had no choice but to flee from the Zong Sui Dynasty. I had nowhere to go, so after thinking about it, I could only try my luck with Dashun."
Li Kun said helplessly, "All the brothers who fled with me died along the way, and I was also seriously injured. If I hadn't escaped to the royal hunting ground, I would have been killed by the pursuers."
Feng Tianyu listened to his words and gradually figured out some clues. She asked Li Kun: "I'm afraid that the new army of Zong Sui is pressing so hard, not just because you opposed it in the court, right?" She is the daughter of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. The family education of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion is not like that of the Left Prime Minister Feng Mansion, which was wholeheartedly thinking about sending their daughters to the prince to gain power. The daughters of the Feng family are all taught as boys. They understand poetry and etiquette, are calm and composed in the face of things, and analysis is the first priority. Therefore, Feng Tianyu can think of a deeper reason from what Li Kun said.
Li Kun did not hide it, he told Feng Tianyu the truth: "He wants to kill me, the main reason is that he knows that when my father was alive, he intended to pass the throne to me, and even issued an imperial edict. His throne was forced, and he is not sitting on it safely. If there is still a prince holding an imperial edict alive, I am afraid he will have trouble sleeping and eating." Li Kun said while sighing, "In fact, he is really worrying too much. If he can govern Zong Sui well and make the country peaceful and the people safe, why should I fight for the throne? What the people want is a stable life, it doesn't matter to them who is the emperor."
This is about the dispute over the throne of the Sui Dynasty. Feng Tianyu feels that this is no small matter. As a little girl, she has no say in the matter and does not even have the power to intervene. She looked at Li Kun's injuries and thought for a while and said, "I am not sure whether your identity should be exposed, but I think it is better to be cautious. So I can't send the imperial physician to see you. Fortunately, Ah Heng is here. I will ask someone to invite her. You are old acquaintances, and she is a miracle doctor. It is best for her to help you see your injuries. As for the rest, you have to wait until your injuries are healed. Now saving your life is the most important thing."
Li Kun nodded, "It would be great to invite Princess Ji'an. I haven't seen her for many years, and I've heard a lot about her. I really miss her dominance when she cut off the iron spirit of my Sui Dynasty!" He forced himself to say a few words, but then he ran out of strength and lay on his back on the bed, saying no more.
Feng Tianyu ordered the maid to quietly invite Feng Yuheng. After a while, the maid came back alone and said to Feng Tianyu with a serious look, "Miss, Princess Yu is not in the enclosure. I heard that there was an urgent matter in the capital that needed to be dealt with, so she went back with His Highness the Ninth."
"Going back?" Feng Tianyu was stunned. "Why are you in such a hurry?" Suddenly, she had a bad premonition. Almost everyone is in the enclosure now. The Sixth Prince also came here last night and stayed overnight before going back. If something happened in the capital, what would happen? But who would cause trouble when the palace is empty? She looked at Li Kun and thought of Zong Sui's side very sensitively. Could it be that Zong Sui's people secretly entered the capital and launched an attack on Dashun at this time?
Thinking about it again, it shouldn't be. If it was that serious, it would be impossible for only the Ninth Prince and Feng Yuheng to go back. She couldn't figure out the reason, but Feng Yuheng was not here at the moment, and she couldn't keep a man in her tent privately. After thinking about it, she said to the maid, "Go and ask my father to come!"
Feng Tianyu invited the right prime minister. When the right prime minister came, he lifted the curtain and walked while saying, "The emperor and Yao Xian are really good at drinking and sleeping. They haven't woken up yet. It seems that there is no hope for hunting today. I said that coming to this place is to relax. Who has the mind to hunt?" As he spoke, he saw Li Kun lying on the bed. He frowned and hurriedly walked forward a few steps. He stared and pondered for a long time, and finally said, "The fourth prince of Zong Sui?"
Li Kun had already looked over when the Right Prime Minister entered the tent. He wanted to stand up and greet him, but he was seriously injured and could not move. He could only nod on the bed and said with a guilty look, "It's me, Right Prime Minister. I am seriously injured. I am really rude."
The right prime minister waved his hand and said, "That's not a problem. I just want to ask you, why are you here?"
Feng Tianyu quickly explained the whole story, but the Right Prime Minister snorted after hearing it, "I thought Zong Sui could be quiet for a while, but I didn't expect the palace coup to come so quickly." Then he asked Li Kun, "Are you coming to Dashun to seek protection or do you have other intentions? A prince holding the edict of succession should not just be seeking protection, right?"
Li Kun nodded, with hatred on his face, "To be honest with you, Right Prime Minister, I originally had no intention of competing for the throne, but Li Jian ruled violently, did not benefit the people of Sui Dynasty at all, and he killed me like this, I really can't accept it."
"So you hope that Dashun will help you take back the throne?" The Right Prime Minister shook his head. "Why do you want Dashun to interfere in the internal affairs of your Zong Sui? Even if he wants to stop submitting to Dashun, he needs to have the ability to do so. Dashun will not attack, but once it enters the territory of Zong Sui, it will not give up easily. At that time, it is still unclear whether we will support you, the legitimate prince, or whether Dashun will simply take Zong Sui in."
The right prime minister made it very clear that if Dashun attacked Zong Sui, there was no need to hand over the throne after conquering it. Wouldn't it be better to rule directly? Zong Sui was not like ancient Shu. The further they went, the hotter it got. It would not be easy for Dashun to rule. Zong Sui had spring-like weather all year round, and the climate was better than Dashun. It was a good thing for Dashun to be able to rule more of such a territory.
Li Kun was not surprised to hear such words. He just asked the Right Prime Minister: "Should we help or not help, can the Right Prime Minister make the decision?"
The right prime minister shook his head, "As you think, I can't make the decision. That's all." He waved his hand, "The regent prince has returned to the palace, and the ninth prince has also returned to the capital, but in this enclosure, there is still someone who has more say than me, you can talk to him!"
The person the Right Prime Minister pointed to was none other than the Seventh Prince Xuan Tianhua. Although Xuan Tianhua basically did not care about government affairs, he was indispensable when there were key matters. Like Xuan Tianming, he was like a reassurance in the hearts of the people of Dashun. As long as the Seventh Prince or the Ninth Prince was there, people would feel that they had a backbone. The effect of calming the mind and soul was a hundred times stronger than that of the Sixth Prince.
Not long after, Xuan Tianhua also came into the tent. Li Kun's appearance did not make him show any surprise on the surface. He just asked Li Kun a question after listening to what Feng Tianyu said: "Since you are asking for help, then tell me, why should I, Dashun, help you?"
Li Kun was a man who could keep things to himself. He said so much in front of Feng Tianyu and Right Prime Minister Feng Qing, but he didn't say the most crucial thing until he met the Seventh Prince. Then he handed over his next trump card: "Because among those who supported the new emperor Li Jian to take the throne, there was a most meritorious official named Duanmu Anguo. I heard that this person is very important to Dashun."
Xuan Tianhua nodded, without asking any more questions, and immediately ordered his men to secretly send Li Kun back to the capital and directly to Prince Chun's mansion. At the same time, he sent a royal doctor to follow him and treat Li Kun's injuries in time along the way. The royal doctor was none other than Xu Mao, who had just arrived at the enclosure not long ago.
Feng Tianyu was not the only one who noticed Li Kun's appearance. Feng Fendai also saw him at the first time, but she didn't rush to rescue him before Feng Tianyu. But the appearance of this person made Feng Fendai feel a little confused. Even though she had just had a quarrel with the Fifth Prince, and it was very hurtful, she didn't have the mind to think about the matter between the Fifth Prince and herself. She was completely focused on Li Kun, thinking constantly, at this time, a prince of Zong Sui suddenly appeared, and he was seriously injured. Is this matter related to Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng's sudden return to Beijing?
Fendai is a person who can't sit still. She must execute what she thinks of immediately, otherwise she will be upset. Just like now, she suddenly had the idea of returning to Beijing early. No matter what happens, she wants to see the excitement. The restlessness in her heart that had to be settled down because of the situation with great difficulty was aroused again. She always hoped that there would be chaos in Beijing, the more chaotic the better, because only in troubled times can heroes emerge, and only in a big chaos can the established pattern be broken. It is even possible that the fifth prince will get a share of the pie in this chaotic world, and it is not impossible for her dream to come true. 》≠》≠》≠》≠,
Thinking of this, Fendai immediately told Dongying: "Pack your things, and we will return to Beijing immediately."
Dongying couldn't figure out what her young lady was thinking, but Fendai was just like that, and she had long been accustomed to it. She thought that if she stayed in the enclosure, she would inevitably have another dispute with the Fifth Prince, so it would be better to return to the capital and stay in her own small courtyard. So she actively cooperated and only asked, "Do you want to take the young master back with you?"
When the child was mentioned, Fendai became irritated. She waved her hands and said, "Doesn't someone like to take care of a child? Then let him take care of it. If he doesn't like it anymore, just throw it away. I don't care."
Dong Ying had no intention of persuading them anymore, and just quietly packed up her things until the master and servant finished packing and walked out of the tent, only to see Xuan Tianyan leading Xiao Bao towards them. Xiao Bao walked in front, pulling Xuan Tianyan hard, and yelling, "Your Highness, please walk faster, Xiao Bao misses his sister."
Fendai sniffed, ignored the child's words, and did not look down. She only said to Xuan Tianyan: "You came at the right time. I just want to tell you that I will take Dongying back to Beijing first. If it is convenient for you, you'd better tell the guards of the enclosure to let us go back."
Xuan Tianyan didn't understand why she was crazy again, and thought she was angry with him because of what happened just now, so he couldn't help but persuade her: "If what I said just now was too harsh, I apologize to you. Be obedient and stop making trouble. If you are really bored, I will accompany you to go shopping."
"Who wants to go shopping with you?" Fen Dai said to Xuan Tianyan, "I always have a bad feeling that something bad is going to happen in the capital. Xuan Tianyan, I can't help you if you don't make progress, but if I don't fight for some things, I will never be at peace in my life!"
