Li Can straightened his crown, his eyebrows were sharp and erect, and he said angrily: "What are you crazy about this big night?" ”

Lin Yueyuan was in a hurry, and she didn't bother to grind her teeth with him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info snorted and was about to raise his foot to detour.

Li Can reprimanded: "Stop, where are you going so late?" ”

Lin Yueyuan shook his head violently and glared at him and said, "Mid-Autumn Festival, of course it's going out to worship the moon."

Li Canfeng's eyes slanted slightly, and a powerful momentum was coming: "You shouldn't go to the prison of the Ministry of Robbery, right?" I can warn you, this is not your backyard, it is heavily guarded inside and out, and if you dare to trespass, you will die! ”

Not to be outdone, Lin Yueyuan raised his head and said proudly: "The prison of the Criminal Department? What the hell is that? ”

The shrewd Li Can will never be fooled by a few simple perfunctory words, although his words are short but to the point: "You think I don't know that you know the girl who was imprisoned tonight." ”

The experience in the palace these days made Lin Yueyuan a little more calm and restrained unconsciously. Hearing him mention Chu Yunxi's name, she was still able to maintain a calm expression, and denied it unhurriedly: "What girl, I don't know what you are talking about." ”

Li Can refused to give up and continued: "Don't pretend to be crazy and stupid, you know I'm talking about Chu Changgeng." ”

"Oh, you mean Chu Changgeng, I naturally recognize him, if he hadn't taken out the picture scroll at the beginning, how could the old quack doctors of the Imperial Doctor's Department believe my diagnosis. And I also admire his paintings. I also begged him to paint a few landscapes, and it is not uncommon for me to be familiar with him. Lin Yueyuan was so calm that he lied.

In his opinion, her frank and sincere face became more and more hypocritical and pretentious. He thought clearly, and was not disturbed by her clever words at all: "How can you ask Li Min's little maid to send money and medicine outside the palace to hide from the palace guards, I learned early in the morning, and I only think that the things sent outside are not some illegal products." If the concubine learns about it, she will definitely punish you. I'm too lazy to bother with you two girls. Now it seems that if you have colluded with her, it is very suspicious! ”

I don't know if it was the clear moonlight that soothed her chaotic mind, or if she had the talent to speak like a spring, at this moment, under Li Can's aggressive arrogance, she suddenly opened her mind, shook her head and continued to make up: "Yes, I sent clothes and medicines outside, but they were distributed to poor people's homes in the south of the city, doing good deeds and accumulating blessings, and the lady concubine also knew about it." You don't threaten me with this. ”

Li Can couldn't bear to listen to her lies, and said sarcastically: "Cunning girl, Chu Changgeng lives in the south of the city, I don't know if you look at it." ”

Lin Yueyuan laughed angrily, and happily crossed his waist and continued: "The poor families in the city gather in the south of the city, and he also lives in the south of the city, which can only show that his family is poor and has little money. If he happens to receive relief, it doesn't prove that I have anything to do with him. I said Little Hou Ye, if there is no evidence, you should not guess out of thin air. ”

Li Can was at a slight disadvantage, unwilling to talk to her quickly, grabbed her wrist, and asked directly: "I know that you are sharp and like to quibble." But at this time, it's not trivial, and I'll ask you how much you know about the prime minister. ”

Toasting without eating and drinking, Lin Yueyuan was angry, and it didn't make sense to talk to him gently, so he was arrogant and unreasonable first. He crossed her and crossed, shook off his hand with a backhand, pushed him in the chest, and shouted playfully: "What 'sheng' phase, 'leaky' phase?!" I don't know! Get out of the way! Don't get in the way of this girl! ”

Li Can reflexively slapped her on the shoulder, and threatened: "Okay, then I will also tell you, all the palace gates of the Yuyang Palace are closed, and there are forbidden guards, and it will be difficult for you to fly without my order." If you want to enjoy the moon, you can see enough in this palace! He brushed his sleeves away, and his indifferent and arrogant back multiplied Lin Yueyuan's anger, and he pulled out a soft whip.

Li Min happened to chase after her, and when he heard the conversation between her and Li Can, and saw that she was holding a soft whip in her hand, he thought that she was going to use force with Li Can, so he hurriedly hugged her waist and whispered: "Sister Yueyuan, you must not do anything with Brother Can." If you're going to save someone. We can go and ask Brother Tan, he will help you. ”

Lin Yueyuan was stunned when she heard this, in fact, she didn't want to use force with Li Can, she still knew the priorities, she just had nowhere to vent her anger, and she wanted to whip a few bamboo shots to vent her anger, but when she reminded her like this, it reminded her of her gentle and kind cousin's big backer.

She had a stalemate with Li Can, and it was even more difficult to get out of the palace, and in addition to Shengshang, the only one who could restrain Li Can was her cousin Li Tan.

Li Can was taken by the emperor since he was a child, his parents died, and he had no brothers and sisters. He was about the same age as Li Tan, so he lay down with him and played together. So Li Tan became his only playmate in the palace, his most cherished brother and relative. The relationship between the two is not a brother, but it is better than a brother. If Li Tan spoke, Li Can would not disobey.

Li Tan has no quarrel with the world, and he is frail and sickly, Lin Yueyuan originally didn't plan to bother him, but now he has been cut off by Li Can, she is at a loss, Chu Yunxi is still in a dangerous situation, and the rescue cannot be delayed for a moment. With nothing to do, he had to turn around with Li Min and go towards Tanxiang Palace.

She hatched all sorts of stories in her head, but she was dismayed to find that perhaps she really didn't have the talent to make up lies, and it was too difficult to hide such a complex reality reasonably. And when Li Tan looked at her with his warm and innocent, clear and soft eyes, her decisiveness and resourcefulness in the confrontation with Li Can at that time were gone. She reluctantly realized that telling the truth at this moment might be the best solution.

She stopped abusing the imagination-starved brain. In order to avoid implicating more people, she erased all the plots about Shi Jiaheng and others, and made a brief outline. Li Tan was surprised to hear this, and interrogated the relevant details carefully and carefully, and she almost missed her mouth when she asked. When she finished speaking, he was silent for a long time, and his expression was very unhappy. Lin Yueyuan scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, and almost knelt down and hugged his legs and begged him.

Li Tan looked really pitiful when she saw her anxious, and her heart softened for a while, and her expression was slightly soothed. Just as he was about to make a promise, a hurried short cry suddenly floated from the curtain behind him: "Wait! ”

Hearing that familiar voice, Lin Yueyuan couldn't help but shudder.

The man emerged from the curtain, still wearing the same emerald robe he had worn when they met in the bamboo forest, with a purple and gold crown tied to his hair. He is heroic and upright, like a green bamboo between the cracks in the stones. The cold and noble emerald color can't cover his noble and arrogant look, and his alienated and indifferent expression can't hide his colorful and clear demeanor.

Lin Yueyuan was shocked, his eyes were as big as lychees, and he pointed at him and shouted, "You are actually hiding inside and eavesdropping? Turning to Li Tan, his eyes were full of hurt and anger after being deceived by him.

He was shocked, and waved his hand anxiously to explain, "Oh, Ah Chan only came a little earlier than you. He had just passed by, and he was thirsty and tired, so he went to rest in his inner room. I just happened to hear our conversation. ”

Lin Yueyuan's face was full of anger, and he raised his whip and threatened: "I warn you, if you get in the way, I will fight with you!" ”

Li Can smiled proudly, cut his hands back, and walked leisurely like a leisurely walk: "Ah Tan, I think this matter can help." ”

His attitude was completely unexpected by her, she was slightly stunned, and her heart was even more suspicious. In the face of her uncertain look, he rarely stretched his smile and continued easily: "And you, if you tell me the truth, it's over, you wasted so much time in vain." Why don't you alarm Ah Tan about this matter, I can transfer someone to protect Chu Yunxi! ”

Lin Yueyuan rolled up the corners of her mouth, hugged her chest and said disdainfully: "You?!" I don't believe it! ”

Li Can raised his head and smiled heartily: "Okay, you go to the gate of the Linjiang Palace and wait now, take me to order the guards, and you will personally lead the team to the prison of the Criminal Department to bring people out, bring them into the hall, and send her to face the saint tomorrow morning." Even if the prime minister has the ability to reach the sky, he can't harm people in my Linjiang Palace. How are you? ”

Hearing what he said, Lin Yueyuan was a little shaken, but still said in disbelief: "Really? ”

Li Can nodded, raised a finger, and said lightly: "There is one condition." ”

In terms of the friendship between the two of them who want to fight when they meet, conditional help is much more credible than selfless knife drawing. Lin Yueyuan breathed a sigh of relief, stroked his chest and said, "Say it, I knew you wouldn't be so kind, what conditions do you have?" ”

Li Can smiled lightly, and actually joked: "Don't worry, even if you want to promise me, I will take a fancy to you." This joke made her a big bang.

Li Tan couldn't help but purse his lips. After he snorted, he said, "After the matter is done, you give me a cup of tea, and the ceremony will be over." ”

Lin Yueyuan's eyes widened again.

Li Can felt that he was already very gentlemanly and had helped her a lot, but as long as he apologized, the other party was not grateful, and he was reluctant, so he hummed unhappily: "Why do you feel embarrassed?" ”

Who knew that Lin Yueyuan didn't care at all, but smiled happily: "That's it, you said it earlier." can save Yunxi, don't apologize, just let me kneel down and kowtow to you, I'm willing. ”

Li Can stared at her happy smiling face, and his heart was a little touched, Lin Yueyuan's righteousness and pride that could be sacrificed for the sake of his friend's face, life and dignity made him suddenly feel a little sympathy.

Lin Yueyuan was present, and Li Tan was not easy to stop, for fear of breaking her heart. As soon as she left Tanxiang Palace with Li Min, he immediately pushed the wheelchair to Li Can, a leisurely tea place, and expressed his deep concern: "You shouldn't ask about this." Just push it on me. At that time, all you need to do is send a few guards to go outside, and just say that the prison of the Criminal Department cannot be transferred out at will without the will of the Holy Lord. Do you really want to mobilize the Praetorian Guard to rob people in the prison? This matter involves the former dynasty Sheji, so you can't come nonsense. ”

Li Can put down the teacup, straightened his body, and said solemnly: "Don't you still understand what I mean?" This is a great opportunity. ”

Li Tan lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Do you believe the story that Yueyuan said." Yueyuan is kind-hearted and naturally won't lie, but this matter is too bizarre to ensure that the girl surnamed Chu doesn't say anything. ”

Regarding Lin Yueyuan's honesty and kindness, Li Can was quite unimpressed, he wrinkled his nose contemptuously, and said in a deep voice: "What does it matter if the words in her mouth are true or false, as long as the saint believes that it is true, then it is true." And the key is how to convince the Holy Lord of this bizarre story. ”

Li Tan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Ah Can, what do you want to do?" ”

Li Can blinked his eyes as dazzling as stars, and replied frankly: "I want to protect you as the emperor." ”

Li Tan covered his mouth in surprise and panic. But he fearlessly pulled his hand away and continued: "Last time, a small love affair was able to cause a struggle in the court for several days. It can be known that the prime minister has long been the target of the public, this time the prime minister returned to the court during the mourning period without being summoned, and fell into the mouth, and Chu's earth-shattering remarks are bound to cause an uproar, as long as the emperor is willing to order to investigate, then we don't need to do it, there will naturally be a prime minister's sworn enemy to shake out his incriminating evidence. The story of the Chu family is just an opportunity, if it can be used well to shake the emperor's trust in the prime minister, then the prince will have a broken left arm. ”

"If you want to abolish the crown prince, it is far from enough to have one prime minister." Li Tan pointed out sharply.

Based on this point of view alone, Li Can is quite satisfied with his political opinions. He smiled: "Yes, so I said that without the prime minister, the prince only broke one of his left arms, and this right arm is the Gu family." Since the demise of the queen's family, the Qi family, the Gu family has become the largest scholar family in Luoyang, and the reason why the emperor has not cut off the Gu family's power as he did with the Qi family over the years is precisely because the Gu family is a scholarly heirloom, unlike the Qi family's ancestors who are in charge of military power. When the Qi family declined, the emperor reorganized the Northeast Army under his control, and the Gu family did not dare to organize soldiers privately, so the scenery of the Gu family was infinite. However, now that the situation has changed, the emperor is obviously suspicious of the Gu family. ”

Li Tan asked suspiciously, "How do you know?" ”

Li Can smiled deeply and said: "This time the prince went to Luoyang on behalf of the Son of Heaven to patrol the luck, which is a temptation move of the saint. ”

After his click, Li Tan suddenly realized: "You mean that it was not Gu Chaomin but Shi Jiaheng who accompanied the prince on this trip." ”

"Yes!" Li Can's interest was high, and his voice gradually rose: "Gu Chaomin is the eastern soldier, and he is the prince's right guard. However, the saint appointed the guards in front of his palace to protect the prince, on the surface, he was deeply affectionate, worried about the safety of the prince when he went out, and dispatched the guards around him to guard him, but secretly sent an eyeliner. If the crown prince dared to have too close contacts with the Gu family during the patrol, the saint would definitely know. Although the Gu family has not accumulated a large number of troops over the years, during the war, the Gu family has accumulated a lot of wealth because of the control of salt and iron. Later, due to the collapse of the well field system and the policy of recuperation and recuperation implemented in the early days of this dynasty, he used his wealth to annex the land of Luoyang on a large scale, and the children of the Gu family in this dynasty have spread all over the surroundings of Luoyang, and even continued to expand outward. Among the children of the Gu family, there are countless people who own Baitian Manor, and there are many people who secretly keep slaves and raise soldiers. Luoyang is the gateway to Chang'an, how can you make the saint feel at ease? ”

Li Tan raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "The prince is not a stupid person, he must have seen the clues. This time I went to Luoyang, I will inevitably close the door. The Gu family is a matriarchal faction of the crown prince, and it is understandable to support the prince, if the prince wants to sit on the throne in the future, how can he not have strong backup support. ”

Li Can shook his head and said: "Relatives have been in turmoil since ancient times, and this dynasty is even better." Otherwise, the emperor would not have hastily reduced the Wei family and the Cui family after ascending the throne, only forcing the Luoyang Shi clan to complain. The emperor was afraid of shaking the foundation of the country, so he moved the capital to Chang'an to avoid the gate valve dispute. But in the end, he still ruthlessly abolished the queen's lineage, when the queen had a life-saving grace in the saint, and the Qi family calmed the civil strife in the emperor, and ruled the world, which was indispensable. The first queen was a heroine, affectionate and courteous, and she was the mother of the country, and she never had the slightest favoritism to her mother's family, but the saint was still suspicious of her, so that the husband and wife were separated from morality, and the queen had a difficult birth and died of depression. How much friendship do you think the saint can have for such a ruthless and ruthless hero to the Gu family and the prince? ”

Li Tan suddenly felt that his lips were cold and his teeth were cold, and he knocked his legs and sighed: "If the emperor is indifferent to the crown prince, then he will abandon my crippled son." ”

Li Can raised his head and said coldly: "Because of this, it is simply the scholar's work to win over relatives and factional party disputes. If you want to really sit on the throne of the Nine Dragons, if you don't have military power in your hands, it will be empty talk after all. And now you only need to fight for one person, and you can get the weight to fight against the prince as soon as possible. ”

Li Tan moved his mouth and said a name silently.

Li Can smiled knowingly and said, "Yes, it's him-Shi Jiaheng!" Isn't it providential that several of His Highness's sisters have already married, and a cousin has come by accident? Lin Yueyuan, a crazy girl, is the same age as Shi Jiaheng, and her appearance is passable, although her temper is not good, once she marries, she will naturally be a good wife and mother after being trained in her husband's family. Once the Lin family and the Shi family get married, Shi Lie can be regarded as half of His Royal Highness's in-laws. With the backing of the Shi family's tough Tiansheng army, His Royal Highness has a two-percent chance of winning, which is one of them; Second, the emperor intends to let Shi Jiaheng test the prince, and we can also make him sever the father-son relationship between the prince and the saint, and the odds of victory will be increased by one percent; Third......"

He changed his high-minded talk and rebuke Fang Xuan's pride, and said sincerely and sincerely, "The words have come to this, and I will make it clear to you today." After my father's death, the Southwest Army under his command was dismantled, and most of it, except for a small number of unarmored soldiers, was incorporated into the Southeast Army. And many of these important generals in the Southwest Army were my father's in-laws and brothers in life and death, and because of their courage and fierceness, they were loyal to my father, and they were deeply jealous of the saints. Otherwise, the Holy Lord would not have hurriedly kept me by his side in the name of taking care of my father when he was in the ground, so as to contain the Southwest Army, prevent the Southwest Army from mutiny, and support me, the young master, to stand on his own. Over the years, you also know that I am the emperor's favorite nephew on the surface, the famous little marquis in the capital, but in fact. ”

He smiled bitterly and continued: "I'm just a pawn under house arrest in this Yuyang Palace to contain the Southwest Army. ”

His face changed, and he whispered: "How can Yan Jishan command the generals in the southwest with mediocre qualifications, they have missed their father more and more over the years. Not long ago, my father's former lieutenant general risked his life to entrust someone to transfer the tiger talisman of the commander of the Southwest Army to me. He promised that if one day I took this seal and ordered the Southwest Army, everyone would obey me as the Lord. Now ......"

He solemnly held his hands; "As long as you are willing, I am willing to send the Southwest Army to you, and you will have a fifty percent chance of winning."

"I ......" Li Tan kept frowning, smiling, calmly looking into his eyes, and said resolutely: "I don't want to." ”

Li Can blurted out: "Why? People live for a lifetime, or fight on the battlefield, horse leather shroud, or Kuang Fu Sheji, a very human minister. God has not only made you join the royal family, but also given you the qualification to compete for the supreme position. If you don't fight, will you enjoy this wealth in vain, and bear this sinister in vain? ”

Li Tan bit his lower lip, his face was red and white, and his expression was strange.

Li Can pushed him and asked a sentence that made him embarrassed: "Do you not agree to marry Lin Yueyuan to Shi Jiaheng, or do you not agree to compete for the throne?" ”

Li Tan's face was flushed, and he refused: "Neither agrees." ”

Li Can pulled a chair, sat down beside him, pulled up a posture to enlighten him well, and said bitterly: "Shi Jiaheng is a character like a pine wind and a moon, and a pearl of fairy dew, how many aristocratic girls in Chang'an City secretly promised him, and even the imperial concubines in the palace intended to recruit him as a son-in-law." And he has a gentle personality, he is the most merciful and polite person, and he doesn't like to mess with butterflies outside, if Lin Yueyuan can marry him, it will be a great blessing. Otherwise, with this girl's bad temper, if she casually marries the children of the arrogant family in the capital, she doesn't know what it will be like after marriage, and she will be abandoned sooner or later. Although I am not a deep friend of Shi Jiaheng, but in the end I have more frequent contacts than ordinary people, he is a person, treats people and things, and is a person I admire very much. said that she was using her, but in fact, it was for her sake, and she would thank me in the future. ”

"You can't help but say that Yueyuan is too unbearable, in my opinion, she is bright and upright, she is bold, and she is an extremely hearty and open-minded woman. And ......" he sighed, and said melancholy and lonely, "I drag such a sick and crippled body, and I don't know how many years to go." I also understand your truth, a good man is born in heaven and earth, he must make meritorious deeds, not to mention that people like us are born to be supported by the people, without worrying about food and clothing, if we do not make some merits, but mediocre are not worthy of being worshiped by the four seas. But even if you give me to the throne of God, so what, it will not make me a normal person's healthy body. You don't understand that a crippled person like me can live like an ordinary person is a luxury, let alone anything else. For the momentary pleasure and desire of a short-lived person like me, how can I be at ease if I want to sacrifice Yueyuan, you, the innocent prince, and even the soldiers of the Tiansheng Army and the Southwest Army. No matter how long my life can last, I only hope that the rest of my days will be peaceful and quiet, and I only hope that the dirty and ferocious struggle inside and outside the palace will not tarnish the white and immaculate Youtan in the Tanxiang Palace. ”

Li Can said gloomily: "I know, that's why I hope that you can live vigorously and as you want in the future, at least to make a name in history, and not to be in vain!" ”

Li Tan rolled his wheelchair, moved to the window, pushed the window open, and the night in the distance was quiet and harmonious, and the hall was full of flowers. He smiled faintly, closed his eyes and said slowly: "Noisy and vigorous is life, quiet and plain is also life, and there is no distinction between high and low. You look at the broken stars in the sky, you smell the fragrance of flowers in the courtyard, this is my Li Tan's life. ”

He turned his head and said lightly: "It's you Ah Can, over the years, it's really hard for you to restrain your edge and endure your talents." You have the talent to stabilize the country and the power of the overlord who is proud of the world, if you want to fight, I will not stop you. But...... I won't help you either!"

Li Canshu smiled wildly and said: "Over the past few years, I have seen all kinds of ugly faces in the palace, and my heart has already been cold, if I don't have you as a close friend, my heart will probably die." This splendid palace is a huge fence for me, and my greatest dream in life is to break through the shackles: the sea is wide and the fish can leap, and the sky is high for birds to fly. Just ask, how can I be cocooned and bound to myself? Trapped in a taller and bigger cage. I'm for you, not for myself, if you don't want it, I'll not be rare! ”

He took off the sword hanging on the wall and put it on his waist, and said loudly: "Okay, I should go to the Linjiang Palace, after delaying for so long, this girl may be scolding me behind my back for something nasty." ”

"Ah Can, are you still ......?"

"Even if it is not to bring down the crown prince, the prime minister has done a lot of evil things over the years, and it is time to purge the court and reorganize the dynasty. I, an idle marquis, have been supported by the people for so many years, and I should do something for the people. Leave! Li Can clenched his fists in a dashing manner, and reflexively entered the courtyard without the slightest hesitation or hesitation, and devoted himself to his decision without hesitation.

His cyan robe fluttered in the wind, and the ring around his waist clanged, like a lone traveler from outside the sky, his heart was full of blood, and his appearance was cold and arrogant. Li Tan looked at his back as he gradually disappeared at the end of the stone road, and a smile of relief and pride appeared on the corner of his mouth.
