Chapter 427 How dare he

Similar things are happening in the military camps around Chang'an City. These people are not fools. If Li Xiang hadn't extended an olive branch, these people might not have approached him. But when Li Xiang offered an olive branch, these people immediately Just understand what to do.

Li Xiang is different from the King of Wu, because Li Xiang has a lot of money. These days, small money can buy the hearts of emperors, not to mention these soldiers who come from ordinary people's families. Although they live a well-off life, who doesn't want to live their own life? Even better, when Li Xiang came over during the day, there was also a silver note for Zhi Da Bao, which was issued according to his official position.

The greeting card said very clearly that if you are willing to go to the banquet, this banknote will be used as a deposit. If you are not willing, you can also accept this banknote and it will be purely used as a meeting gift at the East Palace.

After all, aren’t there more than twenty middle- and low-level officers? According to their official positions, Li Xiang received only tens of thousands of dollars in banknotes. For Li Xiang, this amount of money was only a drop in the bucket, and Li Xiang also hinted to these people that if they were to rely on the East Palace Come on, this is just one time, there will be two such dividends every year in the future.

Many officials value their future because they have great ambitions and there are people above them, but many people come here for money. In the army, it is difficult to make a fortune if you don't take a short quota. , now that Li Xiang has put this opportunity to make a fortune in front of them, they naturally understand what is going on.

Prince Wu's Mansion.

In the evening, it was time to entertain guests. In order to make these people eat comfortably, King Wu specially placed the banquet place in his back garden, and specially found some high-end cooks. Now they are almost ready. King Wu was packing his clothes in his room, trying to give everyone a heroic impression at night.

"Come in if you have anything to do. Why are you so sneaky?"

King Wu saw Butler Kang sticking his head at the door.

The chief steward heard King Wu's voice and quickly came in from outside.

The two maids who were serving me also went out. These maids were very discerning and knew that what they were going to talk about was very confidential. If they stayed here, they would inevitably be annoying.

"How are the arrangements going?"

After settling the matter of distributing money, King Wu was in a very good mood. In his opinion, as long as this first hurdle was dealt with, the rest would have to wait until the war was over. What is the situation in Goguryeo now? He is confident that as long as there are no problems with the three armies, it will be a matter of time before Goguryeo is captured. When the time comes, everyone will reward them based on their merits, and these people will follow him and give up.

"Replying to the prince, something seems to have gone wrong. Lao Lu sent a lot of people outside to keep an eye on these generals and found that they..."

Steward Kang thought about saying it in a tactful way, but no matter how tactful, some words had to be said. He was thinking about how to make King Wu accept this matter.

"What happened to them?"

King Wu stopped what he was doing and turned around to look at his butler. Although the sixth sense is a specialty of women, some men can also feel it. At this moment, King Wu felt his heartbeat speeding up. Maybe it was something. There are changes.

"I'll tell you, Your Majesty, there will be a banquet for guests in the East Palace tonight, in the Tianzi Garden in Heaven and Earth, and the people invited include the people we want to invite..."

After Butler Kang said these words, he no longer dared to look up. Even if he didn't see King Wu's eyes, he could feel that the temperature around him had dropped a bit. Our prince has the gentlest temperament, but no matter how gentle he is , after hearing this sentence, I am afraid it will be difficult to control my emotions.

King Wu always thought that even if Li Xiang did not deal with him, he would be doing it secretly. His previous actions were normal, but now he has reached the point of openly robbing people. Isn't he afraid of Li Shimin's blame?

You know, Li Shimin has already praised King Wu in the court. Although the last imperial edict has not yet been issued, everyone knows that King Wu is the Generalissimo of the Eastern Conquest. Li Xiang's actions now clearly mean that he has not Although he took King Wu seriously, he did not take Li Shimin seriously either.

Butler Kang heard King Wu's breathing quicken and at the same time very heavy. Now he didn't dare to make any sound because he was afraid that King Wu would blame him for this fault. It's not that we are incompetent, it's really Our opponents are too powerful, especially their investigative abilities. The list of guests for the banquet is already very confidential, but the person who holds the treasure still gets it.

"When I brought out the list that day, who else was there besides you?"

King Wu suddenly thought of this matter. The secret could only be revealed by his own people, because the list was what King Wu had thought of that day. Except for the few people under him, it was impossible for others to know.

"Butler Su..."

Lao Kang thought of the second steward in the palace and immediately sent someone to look for him. The palace guards came back soon. Steward Su and the Qian family had disappeared. His family was in the village outside the city. Steward Su went out to do business last night and agreed. Yes, I came back this morning, and I sent someone to deliver a letter, but I haven’t come back yet.

"How dare he?"

After Butler Kang got the news, he was shocked in his heart. You must know that these two stewards in the palace were all sent by Concubine Yang. They were considered old people used by Concubine Yang. How could they betray His Highness?

King Wu instantly thought of a reason. Empress Yang Fei was in the palace, so how could there be so many people outside? These people may still be helped by Xiao Yu...

Butler Kang couldn't figure this out, but King Wu could figure it out. Concubine Yang asked Xiao Yu to recruit some people, and after using them for more than ten years, she directly gave them to her son. King Wu also felt that these people were trustworthy. But I didn't expect that there were people from Xiao Yu among these people.

The world is dangerous...

King Wu sat in his seat dejectedly. Although he knew about this matter, he did not think of asking Xiao Yu to hold him accountable. After all, people will choose the side that is beneficial to them. This time he was completely defeated. No wonder his mother didn't Let yourself fight with Li Xiang. It seems that he has known Li Xiang's strength for a long time. The first confrontation between the two sides has not yet begun, but His Highness King Wu has already lost completely.

In Xiao Yu's back garden, the second housekeeper of Prince Wu's Mansion can only be used as a flower. In the power struggle, this is the result of such a small person...
