Chapter 1357 Everyone Awakened
Emperor Wen returned to the imperial city.
As Yun Li was in poor health, Emperor Wen announced that he would return to power.
Yun Li had no objection to this, and he kept blaming himself for not being able to be a good regent prince.
Emperor Wen comforted Yun Li with a few words and allowed Yun Li to return to the Prince's Mansion to rest.
However, when Yun Li learned that Xu Shifu was seriously ill, he decided to go to Xu's house to visit Xu Shifu.
Emperor Wen did not stop him, but only told him to take care of his health.
At dusk, Yun Li dragged his sick body to Xu's house to visit Xu Shifu, and specially ordered someone to go to Xu's house in advance to inform Xu Shifu that there was no need to greet him.
Yun Li came to Xu Shifu's room, where Xu Shifu was lying on the hospital bed.
Xu Shifu was already seriously ill, and he was exhausted from the long journey. Even now, he has not recovered much and is still sickly.
"I was ill and was unable to greet you. I beg Your Highness to forgive me."
Xu Shifu forced himself to sit up, his face full of guilt.
"Don't say that, uncle."
Yun Li waved his hand and told Madam Xu, "Help uncle lie down quickly..."
With the help of Mrs. Xu, Xu Shifu lay down again.
Looking at each other's sickly appearance, both of them couldn't help sighing.
Yun Li, supported by Gu Lianyue, came to sit down in front of Xu Shifu's bed and waved his hand weakly: "Alright, everyone go out first! I will talk to my uncle! I will call you if I have any instructions!"
At Yun Li's order, everyone in the room quickly retreated.
When there were only two of them left in the room, Xu Shifu suddenly sat up.
Yun Li was stunned for a moment, then he realized that Xu Shifu was also pretending to be sick!
"Come closer, Your Highness."
Xu Shifu lowered his voice.
Yun Li nodded slightly and moved his body forward a little.
Xu Shifu lowered his voice again and looked at Yun Li with a worried look on his face: "I'm afraid the emperor is going to take action against you!"
"Ok?"
Yun Li's eyelids jumped, "Uncle also noticed it?"
Xu Shifu was stunned and asked in surprise: "Your Highness also saw it?"
Yun Li nodded gently, "In fact, Gu's health has improved greatly, and he is pretending to be sick now!"
Hearing Yun Li's words, Xu Shifu was suddenly surprised.
Is Yun Li also pretending to be sick?
So, they thought of the same thing?
After a brief moment of shock, Xu Shifu hurriedly asked in a low voice: "When did Your Highness see that the Emperor was going to take action against you?"
Yun Li's eyes flashed coldly, and he said in a deep voice: "It was just a few days ago..."
When he just woke up, he suddenly realized a problem.
Why could the navies from three places rebel at the same time?
He didn't believe that the naval commanders in the three places were secretly plotting to rebel at the same time without his knowledge.
He also didn't believe that Yun Zheng was so capable as to incite the navies of three places to rebel at the same time.
In this case, there is only one possibility!
The navy of the three places received the secret order from Emperor Wen!
Thinking of this, he began to doubt.
When he learned that Emperor Wen had allowed Tang Shu to temporarily take charge of the government, he became even more suspicious.
He has been in charge of the country for such a long time!
However, Emperor Wen simply issued an imperial decree, turning him, the Crown Prince Regent, into a mere figurehead.
This shows that Emperor Wen never lost control of the court!
On the one hand, Emperor Wen did not care about state affairs, but on the other hand, he controlled the court. He also issued secret orders to the navies in the three places, asking them to go and join that bastard Lao Liu at the same time!
It's obvious that this guy is taking advantage of him!
No, I'm not a sucker!
It’s a cow or a horse!
Everything they did was to help Yun Zheng!
When he loses his usefulness, that's when Emperor Wen will take action against him!
And when he figured out why Xiao Wanchou let Xu Yungong lead the Shenwu Army, he was almost certain that Emperor Wen was going to take action against him.
It was also at that time that he decided to feign illness to paralyze Emperor Wen.
Now, only by doing this can he reduce Emperor Wen's vigilance against him.
Only by doing this can he live longer!
Having just heard Xu Shifu say this, he is now completely certain that he is no longer of much use to Emperor Wen!
Emperor Wen is going to get rid of the donkey!
Regardless of whether he was pretending to be sick or not, Emperor Wen was going to take action against him!
Listening to Yun Li's words, Xu Shifu couldn't help but sigh with relief: "Your Highness's talent and wisdom are beyond my reach!"
In the past few years, Yun Li has indeed grown a lot.
In the past, Yun Li would never have had such a meticulous mind.
Yun Li had not even fully thought of all the things he had thought of.
In the past, Xu Shifu’s praise might have made Yun Li a little proud.
But now, Yun Li no longer has any sense of pride.
"When did uncle notice this?"
Yun Li asked Xu Shifu curiously.
"When we return from Fengshan."
Xu Shifu sighed quietly.
"Ok?"
Yun Li was surprised, "Did my uncle notice it at that time?"
"Correct!"
Xu Shifu nodded gently: "I was ill at that time, so Your Majesty did not worry about my affairs, so I had time to think carefully..."
During those days, he had been thinking about how Yun Li and the imperial court could break the impasse and find a glimmer of hope in the face of the powerful Yun Zheng.
However, after thinking it over, he could not see any hope of defeating Yun Zheng.
It wasn't until one day, when he separated Yun Li from the court, that he finally realized it.
Yun Li is Yun Li, and the imperial court is the imperial court!
Yun Li cannot represent the court at all!
It is very difficult for Yun Li to find a glimmer of hope!
But it is very simple for the court to find a glimmer of hope!
All Emperor Wen needs to do is make Yun Zheng the crown prince, and all the court’s problems will be solved!
Emperor Wen didn't want Daqian to fall into civil war, so he had no choice but to let Yun Zheng succeed to the throne!
When he figured this out, he began to reverse the actions of Emperor Wen.
At that time, he gradually understood that everything Emperor Wen did was to pave the way for Yun Zheng!
Alternatively, Emperor Wen wanted Yun Zheng to fight outside and use Yun Li to stabilize the rear so that there would not be major unrest in the court and he could continue to provide Yun Zheng with military supplies and money and food.
It was also at that time that he gradually realized that both he and Yun Li were just pawns!
Their mission is to help Yun Zheng clear the obstacles to his ascension to the throne!
However, Xiao Wanchou and Tang Shu were Emperor Wen's men from beginning to end.
After hearing what Xu Shifu said, Yun Li's face turned extremely ugly. "Uncle is more insightful than I am! If the navies of the three places had not rebelled at the same time, I would probably still be kept in the dark!"
"Ugh……"
Xu Shifu sighed: "It's a little late for us to understand now..."
Yun Li smiled bitterly and sighed, "If my uncle had realized what my father was thinking, he would have sent someone to tell me, and we wouldn't be in such a passive position now."
"I dare not!"
Xu Shifu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I watched how Your Majesty ascended the throne step by step!"
"The emperor's thoughtfulness is beyond our imagination!"
"I am worried that there are spies around the emperor. If I rashly pass on the news to His Highness, it may backfire..."
Xu Shifu was once a close confidant of Emperor Wen.
The Emperor Wen of that time was so similar to Yun Zheng of today.
Among those princes back then, almost no one was optimistic about Emperor Wen, just like no one was optimistic about Yun Zheng before.
But Emperor Wen defeated them all and sat on the throne.
If Emperor Wen had not been so meticulous, how could he have achieved this?
He knew in his heart that once Emperor Wen discovered that he had passed the message to Yun Li, he would never be able to return to the imperial city alive!
And Yun Li is likely to be taken down directly!
No chance to even struggle!
