Chapter 135 Rally
Jiang Li arranged the meeting place at Longmen Tiangong.
This place has been renovated by Mo Qillang. Not only is there a secret room, but there are also secret passages everywhere. Even if you are targeted, you can escape without being noticed.
Under the escort of Xie Changan, Jiang Li arrived at Longmen Tiangong one day in advance.
She also enthusiastically "played" with the mechanism set up by Mo Qilang, which made Mo Qilang worried to death. He was not worried about her, but worried that his mechanism would be broken by Xiao Shiliu!
Jiang Li started to paint a rosy picture for him again. Her mother still had several farms in the suburbs of Beijing, which were still in the hands of the Jiang family.
After she collected them back, she picked out two big ones, one for growing herbs for Longmen Medical Bureau and the other for Longmen Tiangong for experiments.
Mo Qilang could do whatever he wanted, even if he had to flatten the hilltop of the village, she wouldn't care.
Mo Qillang was overjoyed. With such a big farm and a hilltop, he could also develop Longmen Military Industry!
The next day, in the secret room of Longmen Tiangong.
Sitting on this side of the table were the Duke of Zhenguo, Zhang Huai, and Cui Jue, and on the other side were Xie Changan, Shen Muchun, and Mo Qilang.
The Duke of Zhenguo and the other man looked at the three people opposite them with mixed emotions. This meeting was convened by the Crown Prince's adviser in the East Factory. Who was it?
Cui Jue was also wondering why Longmen Dongjia didn't come? Wasn't she also an adviser to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
At this time, Jiang Li walked in and stood in the main seat under the surprised gazes of Duke Zhenguo and others.
Who is this little girl?
Although she was wearing the East Factory's nightgown and a mask, it could be seen that she was not very old, only about fifteen or sixteen years old.
Jiang Li bowed slightly to everyone and introduced himself: "Yin Shiliu, a secret guard under Lord Xie, and also an adviser to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the behind-the-scenes boss of Longmen Trading Company."
When these words were spoken, Duke Zhenguo, Zhang Huai and Cui Jue were all shocked.
It was the first time that the Duke of Zhenguo and Zhang Huai met Jiang Li. They never expected that the long-renowned chief strategist of the prince and the owner of Longmen were actually the same person, and she was actually a young girl!
Cui Jue was also extremely shocked. It turned out that this talented and handsome boss of Longmen was actually a secret guard of Dongchang!
No wonder she got to know the prince.
Cui Jue knew everyone present, and he introduced each person's identity to the Duke of Zhenguo and Zhang Huai one by one.
Jiang Li said, "My Lord, Lord Zhang, Lord Cui, please forgive me for my rudeness. I will temporarily host this meeting as it is urgent."
The Duke of Zhenguo laughed and said, "I have no objection. I never thought that the chief strategist of the famous Longmen family, whom His Royal Highness the Crown Prince always mentioned, would be a little girl! I am convinced!"
Not only is the girl extremely intelligent, but look at the people around her. One is the second in command of the East Factory, one is the chief disciple of the Ghost Doctor Valley, and another is the next leader of the Mohist School. These people are the best of the best, and she is actually the leader!
This shows that she is very good at winning people's hearts and knows how to select and assign people to the right positions.
No wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been reborn in such a short period of time. It turns out there is such a powerful military advisor behind him!
Zhang Huai also said admiringly: "The girl is really a heroine. Zhang admires her very much!"
Jiang Li said modestly: "I don't deserve it. My Lord, you have guarded the border for generations and ensured the safety of our Great Chu. You have made great contributions and I admire you very much."
After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Jiang Li went straight to the point.
She handed Nangong Qinghe's secret letter to everyone to read: "This is what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen have compiled through their spies in the palace. Everyone, take a look. Do you have any doubts?"
After reading this information, which was much more detailed than the emperor's daily records, everyone fell into deep thought.
Judging from this information, there is nothing unusual about His Majesty's daily life and diet, including the people he has met and the things he has done. He has met the people he should meet and done the things he should do.
Jiang Li said: "We can work backwards from the results. At present, the emperor is obviously targeting the crown prince and officials of the crown prince's lineage. If the crown prince steps down, who will benefit?"
"King of Qi!" the Duke of Zhenguo said without hesitation.
"That's right." Jiang Li pointed at a line of words on the secret letter, "Five days ago, the King of Qi went to the palace to meet His Majesty. He should have set off for his fiefdom after the Crown Prince's wedding."
"When the Prince of Qi enters the palace to meet His Majesty, he should bid farewell to His Majesty and the Queen Mother according to the custom, right?" said the Duke of Zhenguo.
"Yes." Jiang Li nodded, "But after the King of Qi met the emperor, the emperor ordered him to fulfill his filial duties in the capital and he didn't need to go to his fiefdom."
"The young lady doubts the King of Qi?" Zhang Huai asked in surprise, "What ability does the King of Qi have to make His Majesty act out of character?"
Xie Changan said in a deep voice: "The East Factory once discovered that the King of Qi seemed to have a connection with the Miao Gu in southern Xinjiang. The Holy Envoy Gong Baifeng under the King of Gu's seat also appeared in the villa of the King of Qi's mansion!"
He also told the Duke of Zhenguo and others about how Gong Baifeng, when she was lurking in the palace as a palace nanny, had colluded with Concubine Zhou to cast a curse on the emperor.
The Duke of Zhenguo was shocked: "Could it be that the King of Qi actually put a curse on the emperor?"
Shen Muchun said: "Whether it was a poison or not, we cannot be sure at the moment. But His Majesty has imprisoned Pei Yuanzheng and several imperial doctors who are familiar with his physical condition, obviously not wanting people to find out that there is something wrong with his body!"
Everyone was shocked. If so, there was something fishy about the emperor!
The Duke of Zhenguo pondered and said, "Doctor Shen, do you have any solution?"
Shen Muchun spread his hands and said, "Duke, have you forgotten that I was also demoted and cannot get close to His Majesty at all?"
Jiang Li blinked: "Actually, I have a way that may be able to lure the snake out of its hole."
The Duke of Zhenguo said happily, "I would like to hear the details."
Jiang Li turned to Xie Changan and said, "Sir, who else does the King of Qi hate the most besides His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Xie Changan had no expression on his face: "Me."
Jiang Li smiled and said, "That's right. Spread the news of my recovery."
Why is this? The Duke of Zhenguo and others looked puzzled.
Xie Changan said in a deep voice: "The King of Qi once asked me for Yin Sixteen."
Cui Jue understood that with Yin Shiliu's beauty, she would indeed be coveted by the King of Qi.
Is she planning to use her and Xie Changan as bait to lure out the King of Qi?
Xie Changan flatly objected: "You haven't fully recovered yet and you don't have the ability to protect yourself. I can't let you take risks!"
Shen Muchun also frowned and said, "You have just recovered from a serious injury, so don't take any risks."
He told the Duke of Zhenguo and others that Yin Shiliu was hit by the Gu King's palm and almost died.
The three Zhenguogong were also shocked and quickly persuaded her, "Sixteenth Miss, you should command from behind the scenes. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will certainly not agree with you taking risks."
Jiang Li smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I'll hide in Longmen Tiangong. They won't be able to find me."
Seeing that Xie Changan still had an expression of disapproval, she said to him in her heart: "Brother Changan, don't worry, our heart-to-heart agreement can not only make us communicate with each other, but also has many other uses!"
Through the heart-to-heart contract, she acted coquettishly to Xie Changan, cursed and swore that she would never put herself in danger, and Xie Changan reluctantly agreed.
Everyone discussed it secretly again before going their separate ways.
The Duke of Zhenguo secretly sent people to the border, selected elite soldiers, disguised them, and quietly returned to the capital in batches.
Zhang Huai went privately to contact those in the imperial guards who were on their side, in order to prevent the King of Qi from launching a coup after his failure.
Shen Muchun's task is to develop an anthelmintic as soon as possible. Although the insect is extremely poisonous, it is still an insect after all. All things in the world are interdependent and mutually exclusive, and there will always be something that it is afraid of.
The task that Jiang Li gave to Mo Qilang was to develop some lightweight and difficult-to-detect weapons and tools, such as hidden weapons in jewelry, weapons hidden in shoes, etc., so that they could be carried into the palace.
She had a premonition that there would be a fierce battle between them and the King of Qi.
