Xu is everyone thinks that the Shangsi Festival Lizheng Hall is a little too lonely, and today they all brought the juniors over. Only Princess Anxing was still alone, her smiling eyes swept over everyone, hooked her red lips and smiled. Li Hui noticed her carelessness and sarcasm, and he had no more or less good feelings for this aunt who was sowing discord. A thought gradually sprouted in his heart, and he faintly felt that he might have thought too much.

Li Hua, the king of Huai, who was born with the same mother as Princess Anxing, has already died of illness, so why did she get involved in these two reverse cases? What didn't do her any good, it stands to reason that she wouldn't do it. At best, she was just deliberately spreading the rumors to Empress Qin, and then stabbing the Yan clan as if out of nowhere. Empress Qin has always been very disappointed in her two sons, Li Song and Li Tai, and the matter of seizing the heir has always been a thorn in her heart, and repeatedly mentioning this matter will only make her more tired of them in her heart.

So, maybe Princess Anxing has the idea of taking this opportunity to curry favor with the prince? After all, the more the half-brothers annoyed Empress Qin, the more impeccable his filial and considerate young son became. However, whether the prince needs such a deliberate curry favor is another matter.

The grandchildren all came to greet her, and Empress Qin was as kind as ever. She leaned on the hidden sac and listened to them talk about the interesting things that happened during their visit to the Hibiscus Garden yesterday, and there was a little nostalgia in her eyes. It seems that she treats all children equally, and Mingshanggong took a lot of rare treasures jade pendant hostas for them to choose. However, between the words, she was more intimate with the county lord of Changning, Li Hui, Qin Cheng, and Qin Yun.

After a while, it was time for Empress Qin to rest, and the children retreated one after another. When it was over, Empress Qin seemed to remember something, and said to Li Wei with a smile: "I will also bring your eldest man and second lang over another day, if you don't let them recognize people, they may not even recognize your great-grandmother." ”

Li Wei couldn't hide his surprise, so he naturally agreed. Although Li Xin is the eldest grandson and married two years earlier than him, it is very difficult for him to have children, and his knees are still empty. He is considered a latecomer, and although Princess Heiyue has nothing to do, she has already given birth to two concubines alone. The heirs of the Yue Wang lineage are indeed much more vigorous than the other brothers, and even the saints once used this to make fun of Li Kun and Li Tai father and son, and let them work hard to spread the branches.

When the sage brought the crown prince Li Kun and the king of Yue Li Heng to visit the queen of Qin, what he saw was such a happy scene of children and grandchildren. The clouds on his face seemed to have just dispersed a little, he looked around at his children and grandchildren, and bowed his head with satisfaction: "Zitong's body is better, you often enter the palace to accompany her, don't always worry about your own business!" ”

And they answered, and he strode into the inner chamber. When he suddenly found Li Hui sitting in the corner, his eyes were slightly squinted with sleepiness, and his head was little by little, as if he could fall down at any time, he couldn't help but smile: "Ah Hui, what were you busy with last night?" I heard that you dispersed very early, could it be that your grandfather came and had some strange thoughts? ”

After a sleepless night, Li Hui's spirit was somewhat sluggish, and his reaction was a little slow: "Grandpa...... He kept pulling me to watch him write. He didn't want to deceive his grandfather, so he tried to be as vague as possible. Last night, my grandfather really worked hard to write all night, and from time to time he proudly stopped to ask for praise. He really didn't want to praise his memory, so he had to praise his writing for being graceful and bone--His Royal Highness King Pu's words are in the same vein as the saint, which is indeed very commendable.

"Then you should go to rest." The saint was kind and authentic, and asked the crown princess Du to arrange a place for him to rest.

Du Shi immediately agreed, but Li Kun suddenly smiled and continued: "It's better to let Ah Hui follow me to Wanchun Palace, and the second brother will also go together, so we have to discuss it together." There are some things that I would like to ask Ah Hui again. "Wanchun Hall is located between the Liangyi Hall and the Lizheng Palace, and it is the place where the sage specially allocated it to the prince for political affairs.

Of course, this was originally against the law in the palace - the prince should stay in the East Palace to deal with political affairs, after all, the prince's team Zhan Shifu, Zuo Chunfang and others are all in the East Palace. However, the sage felt that the East Palace was too far away, and it was inconvenient to come and go, so he insisted on allocating the Wanchun Palace to the prince. The ministers couldn't resist him, and they were worried that he would simply let the prince move over to live here in anger, and even the crown princess and the Donggong Liangdi would move over, so they could only compromise helplessly.

The sage groaned slightly, summoned the prince and the king of Yue to his side, and Yin Yin advised: "Don't scare Ah Hui, he is still young." ”

Hearing this, the crown prince and the king of Yue turned their heads and looked at the handsome nephew who was still sleepy, and they couldn't help but smile: "Grandpa, don't worry." I have to say that Li Hui's current temperament and demeanor are indeed much more "straightforward" than his cousins of the same age. Joys and sorrows are natural, unpretentious, and extraordinarily likable – and of course, extraordinarily safe and harmless, making it hard not to let your guard down.

Li Hui then followed the two elders to the Wanchun Palace. Along the way, he pondered the expression of the saint when he first entered the door, as well as the demeanor of Li Kun and Li Heng, and could almost confirm that there should be some news coming back.

What exactly is the news? If there is a new development in the case and a new trend in Shangzhou, Chen Guoyi will definitely send someone to inform him. Could it be that he entered the palace today and did not receive news from Shangzhou? Or, what happened to the family of the abolished prince Li Song? Could it be that Brother Ah and Wang Zixian are also in danger?!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt a little drowsy. It wasn't until he stepped into the Wanchun Hall that all the anxiety in his heart came up, and he was like a spirit, completely sobering up in an instant, and immediately made a decision in his heart. In any case, there are some things that he has sent to do, and there is no need to hide them. Being "straightforward" is in line with his personality, isn't it?

"Prince, why don't you let Ah Hui rest for a while?" Li Heng looked at his nephew with pity, "Look at him, he can't even open his eyes." ”

Li Kun nodded, and instructed the palace people to immediately tidy up the bed in the side hall. He would occasionally take a nap here, and the bed and bedding were all available, but he couldn't let his nephew sleep like this.

However, Li Hui shook his head and asked cautiously: "Uncle, father, but what happened to my brother?" Otherwise, why would my grandfather be worried that I would be frightened? A pair of sword eyebrows had already been twisted, and Feng's eyes were full of undisguised worry and anxiety.

Li Kun was stunned and replied, "You followed us all the way so crankily? Scare yourself like this? ”

There was a hint of joking in his words, and it was clear that he wasn't getting bad news: "Don't worry, he's safe." It's just that I just received an urgent report from 800 miles, and there were four or five hundred rebels besieging the pavilion where the eldest brother's family was temporarily settled. Almost all of the eldest brother's troops were killed in battle, and the guards of King Pu's Mansion were also killed and wounded. ”

Li Hui's expression changed again and again with his words, and Li Kun and Li Heng could almost see all his thoughts from his expressions. So, Li Heng immediately comforted: "Don't worry, big brother, they are all safe." Your grandfather was only angry that the rebel was too bold to take the royal prestige into account. ”

"Four or five hundred? How could there be so many dead? After the worry subsided, Li Hui turned to the point. Four or five hundred dead soldiers are enough to call a battle. Luo Nantian's family only gave two or three hundred passes, and which one gave the rest? In addition, a small clan can only send twenty or thirty people at most, and a medium clan can only send forty or fifty people. If those clans who have been exiled, the slaves and maids of the tribes are all used as property traders, and the tribes are exiled for thousands of miles, and it is still difficult to protect themselves, how can they send out any dead soldiers?! Even if they are all counted according to the middle family, this time it means that at least nearly ten families are involved in this reverse case!

In addition, someone from the Tian family has already confessed, and there are two or three small families in Shangzhou, Huazhou, and Yongzhou who are suspected of conspiring with them. At present, decent people are arresting these thieves and interrogating them carefully. Li Kun said, "According to what the first offender of the Tian family said, no one persuaded them to act. They only made a temporary decision, and wanted to use this matter to attract merit. ”

"Improvised? Invite merit? Li Hui didn't believe this kind of statement at all, "How can this kind of conspiracy be a temporary intention?" The nephew must not believe it. "If it weren't for the sake of the exact interests, if it wasn't for the sake of the high-ranking officials, how could they take risks? He had indeed seen such stupid people in the history books, and he believed that some people might indeed be fascinated for a while, but he would not believe that these families were so stupid. There must be someone in it who induces promises or fuels the flames!

Li Kun glanced at him: "Yes, how can such a clumsy excuse be believed?" However, no matter how tortured they are, they can only say this. These children of the family are not dead soldiers, and they do not have the iron backbone of famous people, so there is no need to lie. ”

Li Heng also said: "These families have long since declined, and they are about to be removed from the "Clan Chronicles". Because life is difficult, I have always been resentful and dissatisfied in my heart, feeling that I have not met talent and is ambitious. Once, they went to a banquet together, and listened to people talking about our royal succession, and half-drunk and half-awake, not only listened to the things of more than ten years ago, but also the old things of decades ago. So, a thought arose in my heart. ”

Li Hui was stunned: The old thing a few decades ago, that was when his grandfather ascended the throne. His grandfather was wise and martial, and he was a rare Ming monarch who had both civil and martial arts, and only this incident could be regarded as his biggest stain - no matter what had to be, in the battle for succession, it was a fact that he killed his brother and killed his brother, it was also a fact that he cut the grass and eradicated the roots, and it was even more true that his great-grandfather had to abdicate. But this matter is not completely taboo, and he does not allow anyone to change and embellish it when he is revising history, and all kinds of folk rumors have never been broken.

Could it be that these people are envious of the "dragon work" in this accident? Indeed, the people who followed my grandfather at the beginning were already extremely popular. The twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion are even more legendary for a while, and their families are also rich and glorious.

Could it be that these fools thought that if they did the same thing, someone would give them the same credit? The grandfather was forced to step on the blood of his brother to ascend the throne, so they speculated cleverly that the crown prince was also jealous of his brothers, and he must not want them to live anymore?!
