The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 46 Longkodo Asks for Help

"What time is it? What is Mr. Wu talking about?" Li Yan asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Wu Sidao smiled and said, "On the surface, the Crown Prince was not involved in the trial of the unjust imprisonment in the Ministry of Justice. It is precisely because of this that it shows that the situation is serious. The Emperor no longer has hope for the Crown Prince and is determined to depose him. Therefore, he no longer reprimands the Crown Prince. It is too quiet, which is the calm before the storm."

"And the reason for going on tour at this time is precisely because the Crown Prince has been the Crown Prince for more than 30 years and has deep roots in the court and is very powerful. The Emperor is worried that if he is implicated in the capital, it will cause chaos, so he is taking all the princes to Rehe. After dealing with the Crown Prince's affairs, they will return to the capital. The overall situation will be settled and everything will be peaceful. The Emperor is really wise!"

Li Yan was stunned. Old Wu was indeed Old Wu. He was familiar with the plot and knew that during the hunting expedition in Rehe, Kangxi deposed the crown prince at lightning speed, imprisoned the eldest prince, and attacked the third and thirteenth princes.

It was originally thought that it was a temporary change caused by the siege of the palace, but I didn't expect that in Old Wu's eyes, just based on the situation, he could analyze why Kangxi went to Rehe to hunt. It's really admirable.

This is what they call great minds think alike!

Think about it, as the king of a country, Kangxi was in no mood to go hunting when the crown prince was about to be abolished! Being in the position of the emperor, every move he made had far-reaching intentions, and he would never do something meaningless.

"Who does Your Highness plan to take with him?" Wu Sidao asked.

Li Yan thought for a moment and said, "There are too many changes in the situation in Rehe this time, and the situation is complicated. It is not the time for fun. Besides, Huining and Qiuyue are both pregnant, so it is not suitable for them to travel far, and Wanlin and Jiayue are also not convenient to go. I mean it's just the two of us, and then let Aldo bring a few guards, and travel light. What do you think, sir?"

"There is one person who must be brought along," Wu Sidao said with a smile.

"Who?"

"Alan!"

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of the girl who looked weak in appearance but was strong in heart. Since Alan came to the mansion, she had nowhere to go, so Li Yan had been arranging for Alan to follow Qiuyue.

Qiuyue is also a Han Chinese and comes from an ordinary family, so she can be more tolerant towards Alan.

Before anyone could ask, Wu Sidao explained, "Your Highness is so lucky. Alan is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, has a gentle personality, and is good-looking. Most importantly, she truly loves you. Your Highness should take this opportunity to marry her!"

"Well, Alan is indeed a good girl, and I like her very much. But she has just gone through a hardship. If I talk about this with her now, it will inevitably be suspected of being repaying a favor, which is not a good idea!" Li Yan said awkwardly.

Wu Sidao stroked his beard with a smile: "This matter is not urgent, but it can't be too late. It's enough for the prince to know it. Besides, the prince has Alan in his heart, and Alan also has the prince in his heart. This is a natural and logical thing."

After saying this, he added with a serious face: "The most important thing is that the emperor has appointed Brother Zhang Wu as his personal guard and has great trust in him. If the prince does not take action early, and if someone else takes action before the prince, it will be too late to regret it!"

Li Yan nodded silently. Brother Zhang Wu can indeed play a key role in special times. Besides, Alan is not bad either. It's a win-win situation. Why not do it?

To be honest, if the other four girls were put in Alan's position and situation, they might not be able to do better than Alan.

Take Qiuyue for example. In the original play, when faced with the blow of fate, she could only let it go and shed tears silently. When choosing between Lao Si and Wu Sidao, there was actually an opportunity. Lao Si asked Qiuyue to serve Lao Wu with this intention. Otherwise, who would let the woman who would definitely marry him in the future serve other men? It can be seen that when Lao Si asked Qiuyue to serve Wu Sidao, he did not intend to marry Nian Qiuyue.

It was only in the end that he wanted to reuse Nian Gengyao and restrain him, so he accepted Nian Qiuyue.

If Qiuyue had chosen Wu Sidao at that time, the fourth brother would have approved of him, considering how much he valued Wu. But when Qiuyue married the fourth brother, Wu suddenly became the neighbor who had an affair with his wife, and became the fourth brother's love rival. Every time he saw Wu, he probably felt uncomfortable, which was one of the reasons why the fourth brother wanted to kill Wu. Anyone would feel uncomfortable, not to mention that the fourth brother eventually became the emperor, and Wu knew so much of the fourth brother's privacy.

It can be seen that it was not easy for Lao Wu to escape with his life under such circumstances at that time!

"Your Majesty, Longkodo wants to see you!"

Li Yan was discussing the next itinerary with Wu Sidao when Aldo came in to report.

"Longkodo?" Li Yan muttered to himself, wondering what Longkodo might have come to his house for. He hadn't looked for him during this period of time, and he was busy solving cases and had no time to come to him.

Seeing Wu Sidao's unsurprised expression, Li Yan asked, "Sir, do you think Longkodo came here for something?"

"Haha, the deadline given by the emperor for investigating the case is almost up. Longkodo must be exhausted and has come to ask the prince for help."

"Tong Guowei has been in the officialdom for a long time and is experienced in dealing with accidents. Long Guowei should be the one to go to. Could it be that even the dignified Lord Zhongtang can't think of a way to deal with it?" Li Yan said with a smile.

"This matter involves the Eighth Master. Longkodo cannot disturb the Eighth Master if he wants to investigate the case. The Eighth Master won the first prize in the case of the Ministry of Justice and was conferred the title of Prince. His power is at its peak. Tong Guowei is not willing to offend the Eighth Master for Longkodo at this time, so naturally he is unwilling to get involved." Wu Sidao smiled and shook his head.

"Then sir, how do you think I should respond to Longkodo?"

"Your Highness has made a wise decision, so I won't elaborate on it." Wu Sidao looked as if he was not in a position to say more.

Li Yan took a look and thought, is Old Wu testing him?

If this is the case, it means that this matter is not too important and no matter how it is handled, it will not be a big problem. He nodded and ordered: "Bring him here!"

"Huh" Aldo turned and left.

After a while, he brought Longkodo to the yard.

Longkodo looked at Wu Sidao on the side, opened his mouth but said nothing.

Li Yan understood and said, "This is Mr. Wu, the teacher I invited for the prince, not an outsider. Besides, my tenth master has always been upright in his work, and there is nothing he cannot tell others."

"If you have anything to say, just tell me."

"Master Shi, help me! You must help me this time, otherwise I will be dead." When Longkodo heard what Li Yan said, he did not hesitate any more and knelt down with a "pop", looking like a servant asking his master for help.

Li Yan didn't make things difficult for Longkodo!
After all, this person is also one of our own, at least others temporarily regard him as one of their own. If this is the case, we can't just ignore it, and if we have to care, we can't be pretentious, lest in the end we help but offend others!
"Get up, what a mess!"

"If you have any problem, just tell me. As long as I can help, Your Majesty, I will do my best."
