Yan Qing sent a message from Bianjing. He asked Li Shishi about the Zhe family. Li Shishi didn't know it. But she immediately became concerned. During the contact with some ministers, she accidentally learned from Cai Jing's third son Cai Tao that Zhe Yanzhi was actually the prince of the East Palace.

Cai Jing likes Ji Zi the most. It can be said that he is spoiled. Because he is old and has no energy, he often lets Cai Tao review memorials on his behalf. This matter is an open secret in Bian Jing. Cai Tao not only knows it but also participates in the affairs of the central government. As a result, he becomes a real person and everyone clings to it. Therefore, what he says is very credible.

Li Hu was secretly shocked after hearing this. Li Gang once said that day that Zhe Yanzhi was the person of Zhao Kai, the Prince of Yun. Zhao Kai had the possibility of entering the Eastern Palace. In this way, the Zhe family would be involved in the dispute over the imperial throne. Who knew that the facts were more complicated than this. If the news about Yan Qing was true, then the Zhe family was not only involved in the dispute over the imperial throne, but also at the center of the vortex. If you are not careful, you will be at a disaster. At this critical moment, the Zhe family pulled themselves in again. Once the Bianjing changes, Xijing will not be able to survive alone. It will inevitably cause trouble. The consequences are unpredictable.

The Zhe family is such a powerful method. From this, we can also speculate that the dispute over the imperial throne in Bianjing has reached a very fierce moment. Otherwise, the Zhe family would definitely not dare to take risks with the four hundred years of family foundation. Li Hu thought that this matter would inevitably affect his strategy for the Western Expedition. He couldn't help but feel angry. But then he calmed down. First, he had to determine the authenticity of the news. Secondly, he had to come up with a countermeasure. If he could help the prince ascend the throne and become emperor, then this was a good thing. The Zhe family gave him a generous gift.

Li Hu looked at Li Gang. Li Gang sat on one side and frowned, concentrating and contemplating.

"What do you think?" Li Hu asked him. Only Li Gang was present, and everyone was staring at him.

Li Gang was a little confused. Zhe Yanzhi had a very good relationship with Prince Yun Zhao Kai. Zhe Yanzhi needed the power of Zhao Kai. Zhao Kai needed the northwest power of the Zhe family. These two people also had a friendship with each other. Therefore, people in Bianjing thought that Zhe Yanzhi could be ranked among the prime minister because of Zhao Kai. Who knew that the secret inside was very amazing. Zhe Yanzhi actually prevented Zhao Kai from entering the East Palace. The two were opponents rather than friends.

"If it's true..." Li Gang hesitated for a long time and said a few words slowly.

"I'll ask you if it's true?" Li Hu interrupted him. "Is the prince behind the Zhe family?"

Li Gang shook his head. He felt that the Zhe family could not support the prince. Now the emperor wants to abolish the legitimate and establish a illegitimate wife. All the close ministers around the emperor supported the emperor's decision. If the emperor was not young and only forty years old, there would be enough time to make arrangements for the replacement of the imperial throne so as not to cause shock to the government and the country. The prince of the Eastern Palace would probably have changed hands long ago.

Li Gang gave a detailed explanation of the origin of the Bian Jing Emperor's Constitution and his prediction of the future Emperor's Constitution. "Tell me..." Li Gang looked at Li Hu, Dong Xiaochou and others and said. "The officials were in power for one day. Those around him would support him in abolishing the legitimate and establishing the illegitimate family. Now the dispute over the imperial unit is suddenly fierce. It is all because of the Northern Expedition. The Northern Expedition was successful and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun was recovered. This is a great contribution. If the officials gave this contribution to Prince Yun, Prince Yun received merit and won the hearts of the people. Of course, it would be natural for inheriting the imperial unit. The prince of the Eastern Palace said smartly. He took the initiative to give virtuous people. Perhaps he would save his life and avoid the disaster of brothers' destruction. If he was not smart and fought against the official family, Prince Yun would definitely be accused of being deposed and then killed. You said. Should the development of things be like this?"

The handsome tent is very quiet. Everyone doesn’t speak. They all look solemn. Who is the Zhe family? Will they choose the wrong thing about the rise and fall of the family?

"Master Luo's trip to Bianjing was a great success. I think it has a great relationship with this matter." Li Gang continued. "I sent the prime minister to Juyongguan for a few days. The situation in Yanjing changed drastically. This increased the difficulty of the Song army's northern expedition. In my opinion, the Prime Minister's approach was not wrong. The Jurchens posed too much threat to Yanjing. Yanjing must be stabilized first. But Bianjing and Tong Guan did not think so. They would think that the Prime Minister was threatening the Song Dynasty with Yanjing. Therefore, Bianjing took the initiative to make concessions and gave the Prime Minister the greatest autonomy. The purpose was nothing more than asking the Prime Minister to help the Song army conquer Yanjing and recover the territory of the seven prefectures in the front of the mountain, thereby establishing great merits for Prince Yun."

"What do you mean is that it is fake for our local people to get local news from Bianjing?" Li Hu asked.

Li Gang smiled bitterly and speechlessly. He hadn't returned to Bianjing for three years. He didn't know about some things. He couldn't make a judgment.

Li Hu walked around the coach's tent a few times and then stood in front of Li Gang. "If the Zhe family is really the prince's person, what should I do?"

"You mean..." Li Gang looked shocked. "You are planning to participate in the battle for the imperial throne in Bianjing? No. No. Don't do this..." Li Gang shook his hands repeatedly. "Let the minister find a reason. Refuse the Zhe family to marry. Put this matter aside first and don't have any connection with the imperial throne."

"Marriage actually has no effect. The symbolic significance is greater than the actual significance." Li Hu said. "As far as the current situation is concerned, if we want to ensure the safety of Yunzhonglu, we must form an alliance with the Northwest Zhenshu family and get their strong support. There is also the most important point. After we regain Yanyun and rebuild the Central Plains barrier, we will launch a western expedition, attack the Dangxiang people, and recover the western frontier. At this time, we especially need the strength of the Northwest Zhenshu family. The Zhe family is the boss of the Northwest General. I have an alliance with the eldest, and I may not be able to get the trust of the Northwest General. But if I and the Zhe family boarded the boat for the imperial throne together and advance and retreat together with life and death, we will definitely win their trust. So I decided that I will intervene in the battle for the imperial throne in Bianjing."

Li Gang couldn't find a reason to object.

In his heart, he admitted that he was right to be with Li Hu. It was this correct move that led to the Song Dynasty's ability to basically ensure the recovery of Yan Yun. Although there were hidden dangers of Li Hu, the vassal state. With the beginning of the Western Expedition, Li Hu would exhaust all his strength in the development strategy he designed. Li Hu did not understand the Western Xia. But Li Hu wanted to occupy the northwest and conquer the world. This destined him to pay a heavy price. Fortunately, there was also the powerful Northwest Army of the Song Dynasty. The Western Expedition would win. In the end, the Song Dynasty won two birds with one stone. It was neither too much effort to reduce the vassal states and withdraw the vassal states. The lost territory in the northwest was recovered. Yan Yun took it back. Heshuo and Hexi were also taken back. The glorious era of the Song Dynasty began.

For this way of thinking, Li Gang was very supportive of the Western Expedition. The Song Dynasty did not defeat the Dangxiang people for decades to regain the western border. The most critical reason was that it was restrained by the Khitans. Now the Khitans are no longer so majestic. The Jin Kingdom failed to unify the north. Li Hu took Daibei and formed a clamp-shaped encirclement of the Western Xia. The Western Expedition can be said to be almost certain. But if Li Hu used the dispute over the imperial rule to deliberately destroy the stability of Bianjing, Bianjing was in chaos. The strategy of the Western Expedition was then ruined. Li Hu and other northern enemies might take advantage of the situation to go south. The Song Dynasty was in danger.

However, as for the current situation in Bianjing, the emperor deposed the legitimate and established the illegitimate clan. Even if Bianjing is not in chaos, the front line will suffer consecutive defeats. The first battle of the Northern Expedition is an example. The court struggle in Bianjing will directly extend to the front line. The western expedition will still be defeated. The two sides will weigh the pros and consolidation. It is better to let Li Hu intervene in the dispute over the imperial unification, let him support the crown prince and ensure the normal inheritance of the imperial unification. In this way, Bianjing will not be in chaos.

Li Gang made up his mind and immediately said, "Then you join forces with the Zhe family to ensure that the prince ascends the throne." "This is impossible." Huo Liuge said immediately. "Yan Qing made it very clear in the secret letter. The emperor intended that Prince Yun be the Grand Marshal of the Army. He only waited for the Northern Expedition Army to cross Baigou and pointed directly at Yanjing. He immediately asked Prince Yun to go to the Hebei front line to command the battle. He obtained this great merit. In this way, how could the prince compete for the imperial rule with Prince Yun?"

Li Hu suddenly thought of something. His father said that the Song army failed in the Northern Expedition. Yanjing was bought by the Song Dynasty from the Jin Kingdom for money. It was clear. It was clear. It knew why the Song army failed in the Northern Expedition. It was a damn battle for the imperial throne. The second Northern Expedition was bound to end in failure again under the secret control of a group of ulterior motives in Bianjing. It was particularly heartbreaking. The emperor, Tong Guan and others seemed to have a premonition about this. When they signed the maritime alliance more than a year ago, they actually agreed to the Jin people and transferred the annual monies for the Liao Kingdom to the Jin Kingdom. The reason for their humiliation was to spend money to buy Yanyun back once the Northern Expedition failed. The "Zhenyuan Alliance" was signed. The maritime alliance was actually a copy of the Chanyuan Alliance. It was just that the Song people "successfully planned" and did things ahead.

"A thief, a group of traitors who are harming the country and the people. Should be killed..." Li Hu became more angry as he thought about it. He couldn't help but curse. "One day I will kill all these people."

Dong Xiaochou, Huo Liuge and others suddenly saw Li Hu furious. They were all inexplicably. When Li Gang heard that Prince Yun was going to serve as the Grand Marshal of the Army, he immediately understood and sighed helplessly. This is today's Great Song Dynasty. "General General. Which group of people do you want to kill?" Huo Liuge asked carefully.

"The Song army will still be defeated in the second Northern Expedition. We will lose one thing." Li Hu said angrily. "I told the Jurchens that if I don't enter Yanjing, they won't enter. But the Song army failed. The Jurchens must go in and grab Yanjing. The Jurchens took Yanjing and attacked me from the front and back. Xijing would definitely not be able to defend it."

"Now the Jurchens have reached Yunnei to defeat the Xixia army. There is no possibility of alliance between us and the Xixia people. If I divide my troops to take Yanjing, the Jurchens will inevitably attack Xijing again. The Xixia people will definitely take advantage of the situation to rob. I will lose one thing. Yanjing cannot take it. Xijing cannot defend it. It's all over."

Dong Xiaochou, Huo Liuge and others suddenly realized that the Song army failed in the first Northern Expedition. If the root of the failure was in Bianjing and in the dispute over the imperial rule, then the second Northern Expedition could indeed fail again. But if it failed, the blow to Hulie Mansion was too great. All the previous efforts were in vain.
