After being reborn, I fought my way to becoming an empress, crushing all the scum.

Li Xian looked at his East Palace guards, whom he had never cared about before, and thought that it was natural for them to be loyal to him.

But this time the crown prince's position is not guaranteed.

Now Li Xian understands that these East Palace guards are also his trump card, his support, and even the power to fight against his father, the emperor, and his mother.

And they are more reliable than the ministers at the banquet just now!The princes and ministers at the banquet may betray Li Xian when the benefits gained from betraying him are too great or the price paid for supporting him is too great.

Only these Phoenix Guards who were selected to the East Palace can’t!

why?
Because, these people he personally selected were tied to Li Xian from the moment they came to the East Palace to guard Li Xian.

If Li Xian becomes emperor, their splendor and wealth will be endless...

If Li Xian is deposed, these people, their families, wives and children will be exiled to Mobei even if they survive, and they will not be able to return even if they are pardoned.

Now that Prince Li Xian's position is secure, these people's identity as the crown prince's personal guards cannot be shaken. In layman's terms, this is wealth that can be passed down from father to son, and from descendant to descendant!
They are Li Xian's natural confidants and Li Xian's last guarantee, so even if Emperor Shao Wu changed the maids and eunuchs in the East Palace, he would not dare to replace them!It's not that Li Xian is afraid of jumping, but that these guards are afraid of jumping.

"The weather is getting hot. The East Palace always prepares summer-relieving soup! Quench the thirst of these orphans." He calmly ordered the eunuchs behind him. For these loyal guards, there is no need to win over them one by one like the ministers. You only need to let them feel Just get his concern.

"Yes, Your Highness." Li Xian's former confidant, the eunuch, immediately agreed. By the way, after Li Xian came out, he also asked his former eunuch and maid of the East Palace back.

Jade City

Three days later, in the Renshou Palace, the bigwigs gathered together. Emperor Shao Wu and Queen Lou were sitting on the main seats. The Wei Dynasty was hosting a banquet to entertain King Yelu Buluojin of Zuoxian of the Eastern Hu Dynasty to welcome him and wash away his dust.

Li Xian sat one step lower in the lower right corner of Emperor Shao Wu, facing the ministers. Among all the people, they were the only three who sat facing south.

Everyone else sat facing east and west. Yelvbulo Jin sat west to east and was the first seat on Emperor Shao Wu's right hand side, next to Li Xian. Jin King Li Chen sat east to west and was the first seat on Emperor Shao Wu's left hand side.

At this time, Li Xian was drinking the wine in the cup. The more he drank, the more bitter the wine became. Even though he was still sitting in the position of the prince, how long could he be the prince?

In the past few days since he came out, he has also confirmed that his father, the emperor and his mother have never wavered in their determination to depose him!

Li Xian felt that the wine in the cup was bitter. How could Li Chen not feel that the wine in the cup was bitter?

Even though there is only half a step difference between his seat and the eldest brother, the eldest brother sits north and faces south. Even if he is half a step shorter than his father, the queen and his mother, even this half step is the difference between king and minister!

He was very dissatisfied with the visiting Yelvbulo Jin, because it was his arrival that made Li Xian come out of the East Palace in advance, and also asked him to tie himself up with Li Xian. The pot will collapse if it is not attacked.Because the late spring cold also occurred in Donghu, and it was more serious than that in the Wei Dynasty. The natural disasters in the Wei Dynasty may have been caused by the prince's lack of morality. The natural disasters in Donghu have nothing to do with the prince of the Wei Dynasty, right?Even if it's none of the prince's business, it's hard to say whether Li Xian has merit or demerit.

Li Chen didn't think there was anything wrong with framing his elder brother. The struggle for power was about using all means!

While the banquet was in full swing, Yelvbulo Jin proposed to Emperor Shao Wu in person. He had already proposed once when the banquet started, but was slapped by Emperor Shao Wu and Empress Lou, and neither agreed nor rejected clearly.

After being full of wine and meat,
Bu Luojin asked for marriage again. There was a reason why he asked for marriage again and again. In his opinion, if the marriage could be negotiated and the marriage between the Wei Dynasty and Donghu was successful, then wouldn't it be a matter of course to negotiate a deal between the two parties? Well!

But in Emperor Shao Wu's heart, it was impossible for the two sides to increase trade. It would be a stupid thing to increase the power of Donghu. However, not long after the Wei Dynasty was pacified, there were rebellions in the north. It was not appropriate to fall out with Donghu for the time being, so marrying a "princess" "It would be better to confuse Donghu and strive for peace for a year and a half.

So when faced with Bu Luo Jin’s proposal for marriage again, he said:
"Bu Luojin came all the way and wants to marry me, the Princess of Wei, to forge friendship between the two countries. I have agreed. My second brother, the King of Tang, has a beloved daughter. He will make her Princess Changning. Please marry the prince."

After hearing Emperor Shao Wu's words, Bu Luojin remained silent for a long time.
"Why don't you thank Bu Luo Jin if you have any doubts?" Tang Wang Li Lan said. Because Emperor Shao Wu was going to marry his daughter, he now reminded Bu Luo Jin of his identity as father-in-law.

Bu Luojin was speechless...

The deputy envoy who followed Bu Luojin still bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor of Wei and the Holy Queen, my king has come all the way to the capital of Wei and wishes to marry Princess Fengyang."

As soon as these words were spoken, Empress Lou and Emperor Shao Wu's faces darkened. Wei Shujiang saw the expression on the empress's face and immediately said,
"We, the great Wei Dynasty, have never had the right to marry a legitimate princess far away, so I ask King Zuo Xian to marry someone else." He felt that this King Zuo Xian was simply ignorant!
But Yelvbulojin thought that he was the Xianwang Zuoxian of the Eastern Hu Dynasty, and he was completely worthy of the legitimate princess of the Wei Dynasty. In addition, his repeated marriage proposals had hit a soft spot, and now he was even scolded by the Duke of Wei, and his temper got worse!
He stood up on his seat and said, "The little king has always admired Princess Fengyang of your country. Your Majesty will give the little king another princess to marry. The little king cannot agree. As long as your majesty marries Princess Fengyang to the little king, the little king will guarantee that Dong Hu The two countries of Wei and Dawei feel that they have made peace, eternal friendship, and peaceful coexistence;

If the princess he marries is not Fengyang, the little king is not afraid of losing his face. He is only worried that my millionaires will not accept it and will attack the Wei Dynasty in a big way to save the little king's face. "

It’s a joke, don’t bully him because he is new here and doesn’t understand. When he arrived in the Wei Dynasty, he also inquired carefully about Bu Luojin. Emperor Shao Wu had two daughters, both of whom were born to Empress Lou. The eldest daughter, Princess Jianchang, had already been betrothed, and only the second daughter was waiting to be married. , except for two, the other princesses are not "princesses".

He, the majestic King Zuoxian of Donghu, would allow himself to marry a fake princess from the grassland.

Princess Fengyang, the youngest daughter of Empress Shaowu, was only 15 years old at this time. She was smart, talented and beautiful, and was favored by the emperor and empress.

Empress Lou and Emperor Shaowu had five sons and two daughters. The eldest daughter, Princess Jianchang, was already married. Empress Lou only had one precious daughter by her side.For such a beautiful daughter, she would never allow her to marry to the distant Donghu and be contaminated by the smell of Donghu.

"How dare you bark in this small country!" Wei Shujiang stood up from his seat after hearing Bu Luojin's arrogant words.

He scolded Bu Luo Jin loudly, with his beard and hair spread out, "If the puppies of Donghu dare to come, I, Erlang, the great Wei, will kill them and slaughter them. Donghu has millions of puppies, and I, the great Wei, have tens of millions of soldiers."

After scolding Bu Luojin, Wei Shujiang walked out of his seat, came to the middle, knelt down on one knee, and raised his hand to the superior Second Saint to request:
