Chapter 478: Cannon Fodder Under the Emperor's Love, Hatred and Vengeance 9
After Liu Yan left, the Prime Minister's Mansion also knew what the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion meant, and they didn't come again.
Lian Zhilan used to come to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion once in a while, but she didn't come anymore after that, obviously she was angry.
In this regard, no one in the Liu family cared, only the old lady didn't know the situation, and occasionally complained, but the wife of the Zhenbei Marquis said that Lian Zhilan should be very busy preparing her dowry.
Many people in the capital thought that Li Wenxuan was now engaged to Lian Zhilan, and not only the Prime Minister's Mansion, but also the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion would naturally stand on his side, but they soon discovered that the facts seemed to be different.
Every time the Zhenbei Marquis saw Li Wenxuan, his attitude was indifferent, and there was no intention of getting close to him at all, just like treating other princes.
Moreover, the Zhenbei Marquis also said that the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion would only kill enemies on the battlefield and would not participate in any struggles in the capital, making his attitude clear.
Some people thought it was a show, but after a long time, they saw the princes exposing each other's shortcomings and the Marquis of Zhenbei looking calm, so they believed it.
Liu Yu made his attitude very clear. He would not get involved in any dispute over the throne. It has been so long, and the scene of the dream is still vivid in his mind. Whoever wants to do a thankless job can do it.
Liu Yu looked like it had nothing to do with me. I am a warrior and don't want to care about anything. He was happy, but Li Wenxuan was miserable.
After Li Wenxuan asked the emperor for a marriage, the brothers who didn't pay much attention to him before all noticed him. Now, Li Wenxuan is impeached every day, which is really exhausting.
However, the Marquis of Zhenbei Mansion, which he thought he could take down by taking down Lian Zhilan, is now like an outsider and has no intention of helping him. Li Wenxuan is really angry.
That day, Li Wenxuan was impeached by a minister again and scolded by the emperor. He was very depressed and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion quietly after leaving the court.
Seeing Li Wenxuan coming, Prime Minister Lian knew that he was here for the matter of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. Sure enough, Li Wenxuan started talking about the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
"Prime Minister, what does the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion mean?"
"Your Highness, the Zhenbei Marquis does not want to participate in any struggle, and this old minister has no way."
Li Wenxuan was furious when he got such an answer again. He thought that by marrying Lian Zhilan, he could get the help of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, but what is going on with the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion now?
Just when Li Wenxuan was very annoyed, Lian Zhilan walked in and said, "Your Highness, you are here."
Li Wenxuan hummed. Before, when he looked at Lian Zhilan, he felt that she was different from ordinary young ladies. She was confident and dazzling, and dared to find him and say those words, but now things are not going well, Li Wenxuan has lost much favor for her.
Lian Zhilan didn't know Li Wenxuan's mental journey. She knew that Li Wenxuan must have come here because of the matter of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, but now her uncle was determined not to help, so she had to think of various ways these days.
She thought about it and really thought of some things that would happen in the future. She thought that it might help Li Wenxuan, so she came here this time.
Hearing Lian Zhilan swearing that someone would be the top scholar in the future and that there would be floods in the south in half a year, Li Wenxuan was a little surprised, "Zhilan, how did you know these things?"
"Zhilan, you can't say anything nonsense." Lian Chengxiang said.
"Dad, I didn't say anything nonsense. I can't tell you how I knew it, but please believe me, these are all true."
"How do you want us to believe you?" Lian Chengxiang asked first before Li Wenxuan spoke.
I don't know when this daughter suddenly changed, becoming smarter and more sensible, but how can you say such things casually, especially in front of Li Wenxuan.
Lian Zhilan also knew the concerns of Prime Minister Lian and Li Wenxuan. After thinking for a while, she said, "Empress Rou had an affair with the guard. The child in her belly is not your Majesty's. You will know it after checking."
Hearing this news, Li Wenxuan's pupils shook, "Are you serious?"
"It's true. I know someone who can calculate some things, but he doesn't want to show up, so I can't tell him, but please believe that what I said is not a lie."
"Okay, I'll ask someone to check it out."
Shi Qing looked at Lian Zhilan and shook her head as she made up such an identity for herself.
The more she revealed, the more trouble she would have. As long as Li Wenxuan confirmed those things and knew that what Lian Zhilan said was true, he would definitely ask Lian Zhilan to tell more things in the future. Can Lian Zhilan know so many things?
Lian Zhilan didn't realize this problem. A few days later, she was very happy when she saw Li Wenxuan finally believe her after the investigation.
Now, even if her uncle is unwilling to help, she is confident that she can help Li Wenxuan get to that position. Lian Zhilan told Li Wenxuan all the people she knew who could help him.
Sure enough, knowing things in advance, Li Wenxuan did a lot of things and gradually gained the emperor's attention.
Shi Qing saw that Li Wenxuan was getting better and better, so he also pushed his favorite candidate for the new emperor.
The prince that Shi Qing favored was the Ninth Prince Li Wenchang, who was not yet an adult. Shi Qing had been with him for a while as a hermit. He was not very smart, but he loved the people. He would listen to other people's opinions, but he would also keep his own ideas. He was not stubborn and would not blindly follow.
Shi Qing felt that if he taught and urged him in the future, Li Wenchang could be a qualified emperor.
With Shi Qing's secret support, the Ninth Prince soon emerged in the court and was noticed by the emperor.
Faced with the sudden appearance of Li Wenchang, Li Wenxuan and Li Wenji both noticed it. But the two were most on guard against each other, so they didn't spend too much effort to deal with Li Wenchang.
Li Wenji knew that he had underestimated the enemy after the emperor granted Li Wenxuan and Lian Zhilan a marriage. He secretly cursed Lian Zhilan and the Prime Minister's Mansion for being short-sighted, and at the same time, he was more afraid of Li Wenxuan.
But who knew that the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion did not play by the rules and chose to stay out of this muddy water, and he was very happy.
Li Wenxuan wanted to fight him with the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Li Wenji was not afraid at all, but during this period, watching Li Wenxuan shine in the court, Li Wenji felt it was difficult.
Li Wenji and Li Wenxuan pointed their spears at each other, and the two fought fiercely, and the wedding date of Li Wenxuan and Lian Zhilan was coming soon.
