Chapter 39 Chapter 39
In the courtyard, Li Junran held the white piece in his hand and decisively used the move "Yellow Eagle Pounces on the Rabbit" to take down a large area of territory on the lower left.
"Grandpa is superb in chess, and Junran is willing to bow down." When Li Junran was about to abandon his son and admit defeat, the old grandfather waved his hand and spit out two words one by one: "Continue, continue."
"Grandpa?" Qi Mingjue, who was watching the chess from the sidelines, called softly.
Grandpa slowed down his tone, stared at the chess game and said, "Why are you so confused when you are a grandpa? This little measure has confused grandpa?"
"Grandpa's high opinion." Li Junran didn't flinch, his face didn't change, and he didn't feel the embarrassment and timidity of being caught in the middle. He fell and then lost, turning into a "four calamities cycle".
Seeing that Grandpa was meditating but did not settle for a long time, Qi Mingjue said: "It's a draw, Grandpa."
"Alas", the grandfather didn't take it seriously, waved his hands and said with a smile, "Grandpa lost, hahaha, kid Junran counted on my old bones from the beginning, if I didn't see it, I would have won this round, if I don't The old man has seen it, this old man can't lose this game. I have been in your game from the beginning, so it is rare to have such a strategy at this age."
"It's a draw, grandpa, according to the chess board, it's obviously like this." Seeing that grandpa wasn't angry, Qi Mingjue acted coquettishly, pointing at the chess game.
"Hahaha", the grandfather touched the head of the precious grandson, and comforted Li Junran, "I will leave Jue'er to you, I am at ease."
Li Junran stood up, bowed and saluted solemnly, "Thank you, Grandpa."
"En", Grandpa nodded, motioning for Li Junran to sit down.
As soon as he got off, Black Eagle appeared and reported: "Master Hou, His Highness Second Highness has arrived."
Old Hou Ye got up and straightened his clothes, "Come together."
The husband and wife followed their grandfather into the study room, Qi Mingjue was half a step behind Li Junran, besides Qi Mingrui and the two uncles, there were three other people sitting in the room, Sun Zhuangyuan Lang Zhanfeng, the left prime minister, Liang Yuanxiu, the secretary of the household department, and the magic trick General Zhuge Jie.
Qi Mingjue was no stranger to them. Everyone saw the handsome young man walking in front of Qi Mingjue. Qi Mingjue was not at all unhappy, and he could guess the identity of the person. Unannounced, it was clear that he really recognized this grandson-in-law. Li Junran's eyes were less guarded and more trusting, and they saluted in unison: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Junran nodded slightly, as a greeting, and then led Qi Mingjue to say hello to Qi Mingrui and the two uncles.Marquis Dingyuan didn't say much, and went straight to the point, presenting the current situation in front of everyone.
According to the information obtained earlier, Li Junran judged that Qi Mingrui would not do anything until the end of the year at the earliest, so he took advantage of this gap to go back to Kangcheng to celebrate his grandfather's birthday. Now it is half a year ahead of schedule. It really is forced by the situation, so it is a coincidence Unfortunately, it just caught up with such an opportunity, and a wading through the muddy water is essential.
Emperor Yanxuan's years of debauchery made him weak and weak. On New Year's Eve, he fainted at the old age. Although he was treated, his body was already dying and could not stand any troubles.
Qi Mingrui's unannounced visit to Dazhou during the Lantern Festival was designed for this purpose. Firstly, if the incident fails, Jue'er must be kept safe, and secondly, if Li Junran is willing to help, it will be like a tiger with wings added.He never thought that the trip to the Great Zhou would be extremely smooth, he and Li Junran hit it off immediately, formed a bond of blood and exchanged news.
Originally, everything was being arranged in an orderly manner, but unfortunately things backfired. Emperor Xuan fainted again on the day when the spring was opened, and even the imperial physician was helpless against his terminally ill body. The law is unintentional to government affairs, and the heroes in the court compete for the throne, and they are torn apart. If things go on like this, the Great Yan will be in danger.Qi Mingrui resolutely decided to make an early move to seize the opportunity.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, everyone who can be dealt with has been dealt with properly." Zhan Fengyan spoke first calmly.The person he wants to deal with is the imperial concubine's party members who have been cleared out based on Li Junran's information. Qi Mingrui also has his own arrangements for the loyal people who don't enter.
Zhuge Jie: "The three armies and one battalion in the hinterland of Gyeonggi have all surrendered. However, Baotu Battalion and Black Banner Army are the direct descendants of the Liu family, so it is difficult to find out. Fortunately, the two armies are still far away from the capital, so they are not to be feared."
The so-called three armies and one battalion are the Habayashi Army, Longwu Army, Jinwu Army and Huben Camp that guard the imperial city and the periphery of the capital. With the support of these four armies, they can control the capital without bloodshed.These four armies are the emperor's personal soldiers, and the four armies are all commanded by the left and right generals. These eight generals are directly under the orders of Emperor Xuan, and each is loyal. It is really difficult to subdue all these eight generals. Not only must you have extraordinary means , but also to have the ability to make them sincere to the city, but now the four armies have expressed their support for Qi Mingrui.
Everyone discussed until late at night, and then dispersed to prepare on their own, only Dingyuan Hou, father and son were left in the study.
"Everything is arranged?"
"Father, don't worry, I have already told Linglong Pavilion, and everything is ready."
Linglong Pavilion is an intelligence organization run by the Yun family for several generations. On the surface, it is doing the business of buying springs, but secretly it is doing the business of killing people. No one knows that the master behind this mega-shaking killer organization is the Yun family. This is the Yun family. It is the gathering point for passing news and exchanging information among the secret villages in various places, and masters the entire information network of the Yun family. The existence of Linglong Pavilion is very important to the Yun family. Someone knows it exists.
Marquis Dingyuan glanced at Tai Kui who was standing solemnly, his eyes showed kindness, "Ku'er has not been included in the genealogy of the Yun family, and will not be implicated by the Hou family, so there is no need to get involved in this head-losing matter. If you have a In case, how can the old man be sorry..."
"Father," Tai Kui hurriedly stopped the old father and said, "Father raised me, taught me, and treated me as if he was born himself. Tai Kui has long been connected with the Hou Fu. The Hou Mansion is in Tai Kui, and the Hou Mansion is dead. Tai Kui is dead. "
Yun Zhuoran patted Tai Kui on the shoulder when he heard the words, and called out firmly, "Brother", Ding Yuanhou was deeply relieved to see his two sons standing side by side.
Early in the morning, Qi Mingjue nestled in Li Junran's arms and casually said, "Tomorrow will be Grandpa's birthday."
"The gift was sent to grandpa yesterday."
Qi Mingjue blinked his eyes, he just raised his head and hadn't spoken yet, "How do you know what I'm thinking?"
"My wife, Mo Ruof, I'll live in your intestines. I know all about your twists and turns." Li Junran lovingly kissed Qi Mingjue's hair.
He took advantage of Qi Mingjue's deep sleep yesterday, so he went to meet his grandfather in private, and handed over all the secret villages he had been running in Dayan for these years. It was sending charcoal in the snow, which saved the Houfu a lot of effort. Although it was given in the name of a birthday gift, it was clearly Li Junran's nomination certificate for his precious grandson.
On the day of the birthday, the canopy gathered outside the gate of the Hou's mansion, and the door was full of guests, including princes and nobles, civil and military officials from the whole dynasty.
Qi Mingrui led the generals into the imperial city and headed straight to Emperor Xuan's bedroom. Emperor Xuan woke up from his sleep, dazed and in a trance, and had no strength to fight back.
