Chapter 17: Confusing
Perhaps because His Royal Highness King Pu's words and deeds were very normal these days, Li Xin didn't expect his reaction to be so fierce. No matter how he persuaded him, Li Tai still insisted on going to the Liangyi Palace: "Who harmed me?" Hehe, do you still need to ask?! Who was going to assassinate me in the first place! Who's going to hurt me right now! Who else but him wants to put me to death?! They are all brothers-in-law, how can I bear it if he is so vicious!! ā
"Grandpa, please be careful! The grandfather of this case will definitely let people find out! Before the word came out, Grandpa pointed out that this was the ruthless hand of the great father, how would the grandfather feel? ! And the great father has already been exiled to Qianzhou, and he has been abolished as a concubine, how can he afford to raise so many dead soldiers? How could there still be a family following him? Is his order to listen? Li Xin reasoned with him bitterly, "Grandpa, don't be impulsive!" ā
Li Tai waved him back and sat on the eaves angrily: "Who in this palace doesn't know my temperament!" I swallowed my anger when I knew such news, and it wasn't me! Back then, those important ministers privately accused me, and I couldn't help but ask Grandpa to make decisions for me! Now that I have been wronged like this, it is impossible to endure it any longer! ā
Li Xin was stunned, and suddenly remembered that Li Hui had said before that his grandfather was either "wise and foolish" or "wise and wise", and for a while he felt a little indistinguishable. When he felt that he was "stupid and wise", he was able to speak the truth eloquently, which was unbelievable. Perhaps, both of their brothers have prejudices against Grandpa, so they have always despised him. Back then, he was able to "force" the abolished prince to take risks, and he must have quite a lot of advantages.
Because the two of them had already walked out of Li Tai's special study, and there were people around them, Li Xin couldn't say anything, so he had to chase the eaves and walk away, and by the way, he sent someone to the Lizheng Hall to inform Li Hui.
When Li Hui heard the news, he didn't care about accompanying the county lord of Changning to throw the pot, so he immediately rushed to the Liangyi Palace. Seeing him hurrying away, the county lord of Changning couldn't help but pout. After rolling her eyes, she ordered the palace maid to find the clothes of the little chamberlain to change into herself, and quietly chased after Li Hui and left.
By the time Li Hui arrived in front of the Lizheng Palace, it was already too late. Li Xin stood outside the hall, his eyebrows tightly locked, and shook his head at him. He listened closely, and only vaguely heard bursts of crying, as if he was complaining about grievances, and did not mention anything else. So, he hesitated a little whether he wanted to break in and check the situation.
After all, the Liangyi Hall is the main hall of the Inner Dynasty, and the important place for my grandfather to deal with government affairs on weekdays. Trespassing is not allowed, and the worst case can be called a faux pas, and the worst must be punished. Although he came from a "rural place", it stands to reason that he doesn't know much etiquette, but he has been serving in the palace for many days, and it is impossible for him to "grow" at all.
While hesitating, the crown prince Li Kun hurried over with a few twists and turns. Seeing the two brothers standing outside, he was a little surprised, and then he looked at it clearly: "The third brother is inside? He was assassinated before, and he was indeed wronged, and it was not good to cry for his grandfather, so he must have been very difficult in his heart. ā
Whether it was their expression or tone, the two Li Hui brothers couldn't hear any sarcasm, as if the younger brother who was not confused encountered a grievance and asked Grandpa to call the shots - this kind of thing is normal. Moreover, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's reaction was also very ordinary, and the assassination did not seem to have anything to do with him.
āā¦ā¦ Uncle is in a hurry? Because it was inconvenient for Li Xin to speak, Li Hui asked without scruples by relying on his "slightly younger" and "straightforward" nature.
Li Kun bowed slightly, and his expression sank: "I just received an urgent report, saying that the eldest brother was also assassinated on the way back to Beijing. The mount was frightened by an arrow, causing him to fall from his horse. Fortunately, Aju pounced on him at that time, and he only sprained his foot. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. ā
"Mounts frightened"? "Falling from a horse"? Li Hui's pupils shrank sharply, and in an instant, he seemed to return to the time when he received his brother's obituary in his previous life. At this moment, something seemed to pass through his mind, and doubts continued to swell in his heart-could it be that his brother's fall from the horse in his previous life was not an accident? Yes, my brother has always been proficient in riding, how could he fall from his horse and be seriously injured and die for no reason?
Although many people who are good at riding and archery can also have horse accidents, it is impossible for the past life to be so different from this life. How can these people who have malicious intentions towards them in this life have no trace in their previous lives? It must be that Grandpa has never been out of Junzhou, and they can't find an opportunity, so they haven't attacked Grandpa. And the elder brother was running around on the way to the transfer, and he was getting exhausted by his mother's funeral, so he finally taught them to find an opportunity to assassinate......
At this time, Li Xin's questioning voice sounded, and he immediately woke up and came back to his senses. I heard Li Xin ask: "Is there a big problem with Aji?" ā
Li Ju, the only son-in-law of Li Song, is also the only grandson of the three sons born to Queen Qin so far. Li Tai and Li Kun only had concubines under their knees, the concubines born by the Yan family died young, and the Du family only gave birth to Changning, a concubine.
If Li Song is still the crown prince and ascends the throne as emperor in the future, it is impossible to say that Li Ju will be the next prince and succeed the emperor. However, after Li Song was deposed, even he was implicated and was deposed as a concubine together. The golden branches and jade leaves with noble bloodlines in the past have become ordinary people in a blink of an eye, which can be described as plummeting.
Li Hui had never met this cousin, but he had also been raised by Empress Qin's side back then, and he was a brother and sister to Li Xin. From Li Xin's words, it can be seen that he is a truly benevolent gentleman, and the act of sacrificing his life to save his father does not sound strange at all. Some people may still have a little bit of caution about saving their father, but it must have been just an instinctive reaction to save their father.
"Ah Ji is fine, just lie down and recuperate for a while." Li Kun replied. Although he is an uncle, the age difference between him and Li Xin is only four or five years, and they have often studied and played together since they were children. The two of them grew up watching Li Ju again, and their affection was extraordinary: "Ah Xin, if your grandfather heard the news, he must be very worried. I'll mention yƬ later, and let you lead the men and horses to welcome them back to Chang'an, are you willing? ā
"Of course my nephew is willing to share his worries with his grandfather and uncle!" Li Xin did not hesitate.
Li Hui also knew very well in his heart that even if it was a trap, Li Xin must not hesitate to say that he would definitely jump down. The key is that when you go to meet Li Song's family, you must not make a difference. If there is any accident for them on the way, Brother and Grandpa cannot defend themselves, so they will have to suffer this grievance! I can't say that my grandfather was angry, and the whole family was exiled!
The evolution of this matter has been a bit confusing. I don't know what the people behind are thinking about the deposed prince and King Pu who are no longer able to threaten the East Palace. However, the most important thing at the moment is not to let Grandpa shout anything in front of his grandfather. If he had been taught to learn that the family of the great father had also been assassinated, he would be angry for a moment and shouted the words "bitter meat plan" - then everything would be over!
Thinking of this, the king of Xin'an County felt a chord in his heart, gritted his teeth, and suddenly rushed into the Liangyi Palace. Li Kun and Li Xin couldn't react for a while, and when they saw him rush into the hall, they could only be dumbfounded.
After Li Hui rushed into the Liangyi Palace, he found that in addition to his grandfather and grandfather who were crying again, there were also many important ministers standing next to him. At this moment, he only felt that his eyes were suddenly dark-hehe, his reputation between the government and the opposition in the future is probably not much different from that of Grandpa when he was young.
However, at this time, this kind of subsection can no longer be cared for! Now that you've broken in, you might as well get out!
So, the king of Xin'an County also cried and threw himself into his grandfather's arms. His Royal Highness King Pu was crying so much that he bumped into a son unexpectedly, hugged him with his hand, and stuffed him into his father and son. Then, the scene of the father and son crying in the hall became the three ancestors and grandchildren crying together.
Li Hui is still young and handsome, and his crying is naturally more pleasing to the eye than His Royal Highness King Pu. The saint looked at his grandson with teary eyes, and couldn't help but hug him with pity: "Ah Hui was also there at that time? I'm terrified! Grandfather will definitely breathe this out for you! Look who dares to bully my children and grandchildren! ā
"Grandfather!" King Xin'an cried very miserably, "At that time...... At that time, my grandson did feel that something was wrong. Our group was obviously covered in mud, and it didn't look like they were carrying possessions, so how could they target us? Moreover, the legends that my grandson watched said that these mountain bandits have always robbed money and are not good at killing! But the assassins didn't say a word, and rushed forward with their swords in hand! ā
When the sage heard this, he burst into tears: "I'm still alive, and there are people with ill intentions who dare to touch my children and grandchildren!" You can't teach these thieves to escape! Find them out anyway!! ā
"Grandfather! The grandson just heard about it...... I heard that my father and cousin were also assassinated!! Whining! ā
"What!! Outrageous!! ā
Taking advantage of the sage's anger and the ministers' hurried persuasion, Li Hui threw himself back into his grandfather's arms, trying his best to block Li Tai's fat face that was shocked and tearful. The father and son stared at each other with big eyes, and in the end, Li Tai reluctantly regained his senses, and "rolled" over with his son very familiarly: "Grandpa! I must do justice for my brother and me!! ā
Hearing his howl, Li Kun and Li Xin, who had just stepped into the hall, almost fell to the ground one by one. The sage's anger was replaced by mercy, and he almost immediately agreed to Li Kun's suggestion, ordered Li Xin to take his own guards to protect Li Song's family, and sent a confidant, General Jin Wuweizuo, and some soldiers and horses to accompany him.
The matter finally came to an end, Li Hui covered his face with his sleeve, pretended to be wiping his tears, and followed Li Tai and Li Xin out of the Liangyi Palace. It's a pity that he is wearing a narrow-sleeved round-necked robe, and no matter how he stops it, he can't stop that face. When he saw the county lord of Changning, who was hiding by the pillar and pretending to be a palace man, his self-esteem as an elder brother was like a broken jade, and he couldn't stick it back.
Li Kun took his daughter back with tears and laughter, and the county lord of Changning turned around three times in one step, and stopped talking. Li Hui simply stopped covering his face with his sleeves, and returned to King Pu's Mansion with no love.
It wasn't until he saw Wang Zixian sitting next to the bookcase that his expression relaxed slightly, and he sighed: "You can be regarded as here." ā
He didn't realize that there was a hint of helplessness or even grievance in his words. Maybe he doesn't fully trust this friend for the time being, and it is impossible to tell all the secrets, but unconsciously, he has become a little dependent on the other party, and is willing to reveal his true feelings.
Wang Zixian keenly noticed that his mood was very low, and immediately asked, "What?" What happened? ā
