Chapter 113: The rebellious Li Changan! Zhan Doudou, you are too narrow-minded! (13)

Li Changan had mentioned rebellion to Haitang Duoduo privately, and he did so often.

But Haitang could not have imagined that Li Changan actually declared that he would rebel against Emperor Qing in front of the Queen Mother and the young Emperor!
It is simply contrary to Tiangang!
To the foresighted Li Changan, the double act between the Queen Mother Wei and the young emperor was simply a pretense.

I don’t know if the little emperor really intends to confer a title of king on someone with a different surname, but her main purpose is definitely to alienate the relationship between Li Changan and Emperor Qing.

Zhan Doudou was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Your Highness Prince Yong, this is not Qing Kingdom, you'd better restrain yourself."

Li Changan said calmly, "Queen Mother, Your Majesty, Saint Lady.

When I was in Nanqing, I had to give that old brother some face."

"It's hard for the old man to govern the country, and he's calculating all the time.

After calculating against the ministers, calculate against the sons, and after calculating against the sons, calculate against the enemy country. You still have to give face. "

"Once you have to give face to your brother, you will feel constrained and uncomfortable.

"I am like a bird in a cage, a fish in a net. Now that I have arrived in Northern Qi, I am like a bird in the sky, a fish in the sea, and I am no longer bound!"

Queen Mother Wei frowned and said, "Li Changan, every word you say is outrageous. Aren't you afraid that His Majesty Emperor Qing will hear it?"

Li Changan stood with his hands behind his back, facing south, as if he was the host and the three women were guests.

“When I arrive in Northern Qi, no matter what I say or do, you will exaggerate and report it back to Qing.

Maybe the memorial impeaching me has already been written in the Qing court.”

"I am worried that you lack courage, literary talent, and taste.

The accusations you have fabricated for me are not worthy of my status."

"So, why don't I help you frame you personally? This will also help relieve the worries of His Majesty and the Queen Mother."

After Zhan Doudou was surprised, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes. Li Changan was not only handsome, but also bold and domineering.

She had never seen such momentum among all the ministers.

"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Yong. Your words are profound. I will definitely have my spies report them back to Nanqing."

Queen Mother Wei chuckled, "I've long heard that Prince Yong of Nanqing was reckless and daring when he was young.

Seeing him today, he is indeed even worse than the rumors said."

Li Changan suddenly realized, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. I guess you are talking about the poems I wrote for Lili. They are nothing."

"If the Queen Mother is interested, I am willing to have an in-depth discussion with her."

After these words were spoken, the three women were stunned again and did not dare to respond for a moment.

After reading the poem, the Queen Mother knew that it was a blatant teasing statement from Li Changan, but she didn't know that the little emperor and Haitang had also read it.

The little emperor blushed slightly. She had seen it, but she must not show it.

Haitang almost had her throat choked by the grape seeds. The shamelessness and boldness of His Royal Highness Prince Yong far exceeded her imagination.

The Queen Mother Wei not only read it, but also savored it carefully, and still recalls it with endless aftertaste, but this is not something she can just talk about casually.

So she could only play deaf and dumb, and talk about the Dou Baihua that Li Changan wrote publicly to Si Lili, and pretended to know nothing else.

"Prince Yong, you are joking. The artistic conception of that poem about fighting against a hundred flowers is just so-so. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten it."

Li Changan sighed secretly, without men in the court, he would have no confidence.

I will definitely bully you, mother and daughter.

As for Zhan Pianpian, it’s not a matter of bullying. Such a lovely girl will definitely take the initiative.

At this time, Zhan Doudou said to Queen Mother Wei, "Mother, I want to discuss poetry and literature with His Royal Highness Prince Yong in private. I hope you will grant my permission."

Queen Mother Wei said, "You are the emperor. If you want to discuss anything, just talk about it in this palace."

Zhan Doudou said, "The palace is majestic and it is not convenient to be intimate. I would like to ask His Royal Highness Prince Yong to walk around with me."

Queen Mother Wei glanced at Li Changan and said, "Li Changan's words are shocking. I also want to go for a walk with you."

"Your Majesty Mother has been working hard on state affairs, how dare I trouble you?" Zhan Doudou gave the Queen Mother Wei a cold shoulder without hesitation.

"In that case, I will return to the palace. If there is a chance in the future, I would also like to discuss poetry with Chang'an."

Although the Queen Mother left, she seemed somewhat reluctant.

Haitang watched the two people's performance helplessly. They could pretend to be at odds in front of others, but it was completely futile in front of Li Changan.

Now the Holy Maiden of Northern Qi is only left with curiosity about how this quasi-grandmaster will mess with Northern Qi and what consequences he will have.

Zhan Doudou called Li Changan by his title, while Queen Mother Wei always called Li Changan by his name, making herself seem a generation older than Li Changan. She deliberately elevated her own status and acted superior.

"Farewell, Queen Mother. There will definitely be such an opportunity."

After Li Changan finished speaking hypocritically, the Queen Mother pointed at Haitang beside her.

"The Saint is returning to the palace, and you are all the same age, so why don't you go together?"

After the Queen Mother left, Zhan Doudou brought Li Changan and Haitang to the inner palace.

In a pavilion in the palace, the eunuchs brought sandalwood and tea, and then dispersed.

Zhan Doudou held the railing, stared into the distance and recited the lyrics he had written.

"I patted the railing, the forest flowers blew on my hair, the mountain wind chilled me, and the loud song startled the floating clouds away."

After Zhan Doudou finished reading, she was still gazing into the distance, but her hands holding the railing unconsciously tightened a little.

Haitang kicked Li Changan's foot and said, "Speak up! Speak well! Praise her!"

She turned her head and saw Li Changan also gazing into the distance affectionately, wondering what he was thinking.

Zhan Doudou didn't get any evaluation from Li Changan, so she secretly turned around to see how Li Changan reacted.

"This sentence is acceptable, but how can the flowers in the forest and the mountain wind withstand the grandeur of the vast song and floating clouds!"

Hearing the acceptable comment, Zhan Doudou immediately showed joy.

"How do you think we should revise this, Your Highness?"

Li Changan said, "When I traveled around the world, I once looked out at the sea of ​​clouds and fog at Mount Dadong. I will help you finish this poem."

"Knocking on the railing, the mist and flowers blow on my hair, the sea breeze is cold, and the loud song startles the floating clouds away.

Counting the green mountains, I point to the sight of Penglai. On the gauze-covered shore, I am used to riding on the backs of cranes. I raise my head and let out a long whistle, and go straight to the Temple of Heaven.

After listening to the poem copied by Li Changan, Zhan Doudou couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Mist flowers, sea breeze, Penglai, cranes, and the Temple of Heaven are indeed more profound than the artistic conception of her poems.

Haitang Duoduo sat down and took a bite of a big red date.

"Li Changan has made a lot of progress over the years, and his poems have become less decadent. This Saint Lady likes it very much."

"Especially the last line, raising your head and howling, straight up to the Temple of Heaven, it is very profound!"

Zhan Doudou smiled and said, "As expected of you, you are the Three Saints of Poetry, Calligraphy and Painting. I am grateful for your teachings."

Li Changan said bluntly, "Your Majesty is very talented, but your vision is still a little narrow. After all, you grew up in the deep palace and your vision is a little narrow."

Zhan Doudou was no longer surprised by Li Changan's words.

After all, in his words, Emperor Qing was just an old man who loved to calculate.

How good could Li Changan's evaluation of her be when she was Zhan Doudou, a little emperor who had no personal power?

Haitang spat out the pit, looking like she was used to it. "Your Majesty, this guy is arrogant and looks down on everyone. Just get used to it."

Zhan Doudou didn't seem to care. "I invited Prince Yong down here, firstly to discuss poetry, and secondly to make a deal with you."

Li Changan said, "I wonder what your majesty wants to exchange for, and what you want to exchange for it?"

Zhan Doudou smiled mysteriously, her eyes full of charm.

"My sister is willing to marry you as a concubine, and my mother has agreed."

"But I haven't agreed yet."

Li Changan chuckled, “Your Majesty, no one who threatens this king will have a good ending.

You have to think carefully and don’t regret it later.”

Zhan Doudou was told by Li Changan that she had a small vision, so she couldn't help but feel competitive.

After all, he has been the emperor for many years, and is surrounded by flatterers.

"Oh, is it so?
This is the capital of Northern Qi, I want to see how you can make me regret it."

Haitang Duoduo was anxious. She was really afraid that Zhan Doudou would get her involved.

This monster Li Changan is not only powerful, but also knows everything.

There was no point in her being anxious, as she didn't dare to remind Zhan Doudou at all.

Li Changan continued, "Your Majesty, what do you want me to do in exchange for your consent for Pian Pian to marry me as a concubine?"

Zhan Doudou said, "Shen Zhong and his party have great power in the government and have lackeys everywhere, yet they are loyal to the Queen Mother."

"He holds a high position and is implicated in many matters. It is not easy to remove him from office. The experts around me are being closely watched by my mother."

As Zhan Doudou spoke, he glanced at Li Changan with pride.

"Don't worry, Prince Yong. Duoduo is on my side."

Judging from Zhan Doudou's expression, he wanted to surprise Li Changan.

Look, the saint girl beside the Queen Mother is actually in the same party as me. Am I very powerful?
Li Changan knew that to deal with such a pure girl, he had to control her repeatedly. He had just suppressed her and now he had to encourage her and make her anxious and worried.

"Oh! Your Majesty is really good at this. The Queen Mother is still kept in the dark!"

Seeing the joy in Zhan Doudou's eyes, Haitang Duoduo secretly thought that it was not good, His Majesty was still young.

Zhan Doudou continued, "Your Highness Prince Yong brought half of the Shadow Secret Guards with him this time. It should be no problem for him to help me kill Shen Zhong."

Li Changan disagreed, "Shen Zhong is the leader of the Jinyiwei, and he has countless experts around him. It would be difficult to kill him without affecting yourself."

"Of course. My royal sister is the most beautiful woman in the world, but she wants to be your concubine. It's not that easy in the world!" Zhan Doudou said with a smile.

Li Changan said without any hesitation, "Deal, but I have some doubts.

Shen Zhong is a loyal minister of Qi State, you are just cutting off your own arm."

Hearing Li Changan questioning her decision again, Zhan Doudou said proudly, "If you are not loyal to me, how can you be called a loyal minister?"

"After I take power, I will definitely train and promote Jinyiwei pacification envoys who are both loyal to me and capable."

Although this is true, it is not easy to train a spy chief without long-term practical training.

Li Changan said calmly, "In that case, I agree. There is still half a month before the poetry meeting, which should be enough time."

After Li Changan left, Zhan Doudou suddenly laughed, "Li Changan is indeed an interesting person."

Haitang said meaningfully, "Your Majesty, this man is very dangerous. You'd better not make close friends with him."

Zhan Doudou said, "No risk, no gain. How can he eat me?"

"Li Changan keeps saying that I am small-minded, but I want to see what he has in mind."

In Nanqing Palace.

All of Li Changan's words and deeds in Northern Qi were collected by the Inspection Institute and reported to Emperor Qing.

Chen Pingping said firmly, "Your Majesty, these remarks must have been fabricated by Northern Qi."

"Ever since His Royal Highness Prince Yong entered Northern Qi, Northern Qi has used various means to spread rumors about His Royal Highness. This method is really not smart."

"In the past six months, most of the rumors about His Royal Highness Prince Yong in Kyoto were spread by Northern Qi spies."

Emperor Qing threw a piece of paper to Chen Pingping, and then said, "I guess those words were really said by Prince Yong himself."

After reading the intelligence, Chen Pingping said in surprise, "Prince Yong secretly reported that he wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the Northern Qi government. In addition to Shangshan Hu and Shen Zhong?"

"One is a famous general who has fought many battles, and the other is a long-time rival of the Inspection Bureau. If this can be accomplished, it will be a great blessing!"

Emperor Qing said calmly, "I am not afraid that he will not be able to do it. I am worried that he will actually do it."

Chen Pingping smiled and said, "It is a blessing for the country if it is done. Your Majesty is worried about family affairs. I believe Your Majesty has already made up his mind, so I will not say anything more."

Emperor Qing polished the arrow in his hand, his eyebrows knitted tightly together, "Old man, you are getting more cunning as you get older!"

The two of them knew very well that if Li Changan succeeded in this matter, his reputation would be much higher than that of the crown prince and the second prince.

Emperor Qing said he was worried, but he didn't really think so.

Because, no matter how strong Li Changan is, Emperor Qing believes that the situation is still under control.

In his opinion, because of the deterrence of the grand master in the palace, the possibility of Li Changan rebelling was very small.

The current situation is that Li Changan has real ability, so Emperor Qing must use this knife well to help him balance the power of Li Yunrui, and even Chen Pingping's Inspection Institute.

If Li Changan can still make contributions, he will be sent to a fiefdom or to a border army, changing the place once a year. There are plenty of ways to keep him away from the political center.

In Emperor Qing's opinion, as long as one stays away from the center of power, he will not be able to influence the highest power.

All of Emperor Qing’s confidence comes from his status as a grandmaster.

To take a step back, even if Li Changan really led his troops to rebel, he would not be afraid at all.

Arriving in the capital city, night falls.

Li Changan strolled around the Northern Qi Imperial Palace without being noticed by anyone.

Lang Tao, the most powerful master in Shangjing City, is the confidant of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor's master, but he does not live in the palace.

The strongest master in the palace is of course Haitang Duoduo, and the commander of the imperial guards is only at the middle level of the ninth rank.

After Li Changan figured out the terrain, he flashed into Zhan Pianpian's room.

At this moment, Zhan Pianpian was walking back and forth in the room, feeling uneasy.

"You have already come to the capital, why don't you come to see me?"

"I had several arguments with His Majesty because of him, and now His Majesty still doesn't agree. What should I do?"

"I heard that many young ladies from wealthy families went to the streets to welcome him. Could it be, could it be... could it be!"

As Zhan Doudou thought about it, she couldn't help but pout and shook her head.

"No, no!"

Zhan Pianpian straightened her chest and looked at the mirror proudly.

"Zhan Pianpian! You must have confidence!"

"You are the most beautiful person in Northern Qi!"
