Chapter 81: Knead some sand
The atmosphere in the Manna Hall was solemn and terrifying, and almost everyone standing at the foot of the imperial stairs held their breath. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Zhi's pupils were almost the size of a pinpoint, and the cold light in his eyes stared directly at the palm-sized waist card in Li Ke's hand that shone with silver light.
He was very sure that the brand would never be something in his house, but after his action, Li Ke actually took this opportunity to make such a thing to plant it!
Li Shimin, who was sitting on the throne, his whole face turned crimson, and a suppressed anger that was about to explode quickly gathered in his chest.
This is his son! This is his good son! Just because he doesn't ask or interfere doesn't mean he doesn't know anything!
Li Ke has always been dissatisfied with just being a King of Wu, he knows! Li Zhi, the crown prince, is impatient, and he knows it! But they're brothers! Even if he wasn't born to a mother, at least he was the son of the emperor, right? How can he be so unscrupulous, so cold-blooded and ruthless, and blatantly attack his own brother?
"Prince! What do you explain? Li Shimin turned his face and took a deep breath, his tone was terrifyingly cold.
From this distant salutation, everyone in the hall felt a chill. On weekdays, this always friendly emperor is always used to calling his youngest son Zhi'er, but at this time, he will change his habit and officially call him the prince!
What does this mean? Does it mean that Li Zhi has lost his sacred heart? The eyes of the people in the hall were bright, and they were thinking about the situation in front of them in their hearts, thinking about whether it was time for them to bet in a different direction.
The eldest grandson Wuji, who was standing closest to Li Zhi, looked coldly at Li Ke who stretched out a hand and showed his waist card, as Li Zhi's maternal uncle, in order to avoid suspicion at this time, it was inconvenient for him to express it, but he didn't think that this waist card would really come from the East Palace.
Li Zhi raised his head and stared at his father and emperor for a moment, just staring at him like this, the expression on his face was calm and terrifying.
"Why did Erchen explain? Erchen hasn't figured out what's going on yet! After a long time, Li Zhi seemed to come back to his senses and showed a lazy smile.
"You------ you're shameless!" Li Ke looked at Li Zhi's smile from the side, and the anger on his face was even worse.
Seeing Li Zhi with an indifferent face, Li Ke really wanted to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin! It was this man who actually set up such a series of schemes to transfer him and Yu Wenjing out of the mansion, which allowed him to easily rescue Li Mo and destroy his mansion with a fire!
He won't let him go! He will never let him go! Li Ke's face flashed with crazy hatred! Not only for the sake of his mother, but also for himself, for the attention of his father who he has never received, he will never let him go!
"Isn't this waist card unique to your East Palace? Why did your East Palace's waist card fall in the fire in my house? Li Ke approached Li Zhi aggressively step by step, "Prince! You're too ruthless! I'm your brother! Why are you so ruthless as to send someone to kill me? If I hadn't been out last night, would I have died in the fire? ”
Li Ke's voice was miserable, like a letter spit out by a poisonous snake, with a cold and resentful wind blowing through the hall, and the distorted expression on his face made the people present feel cold. Such a Li Ke is something they have never seen before!
"Are you a little disappointed when you see me now? Don't you think you've fulfilled your wish? ”
Li Ke's eyes were full of tears, he squeezed the waist card in his hand tightly, and his face was full of resentment, he really played a brother who was disappointed in his brother, so that everyone in the hall couldn't help but sympathize with him.
"Enough!" Li Shimin, who was sitting on the throne, finally couldn't help but roar.
Li Shimin, who was already a little dizzy with anger, slapped the throne and stood up, and the pearl on the crown shook violently with his movements.
"You--one of you is a brother, the other is a brother! One is the prince as the king, and the other is the king of Wu as the minister, and now it will be so tense! Incompatible! Are you uncomfortable watching me have some peaceful birthdays? Do you have to make a life and death situation? ”
Li Shimin was furious, stretched out his hand and pointed directly at the two sons who were standing at the foot of the imperial stairs and glaring at each other like two fighting cocks. He originally thought that they wouldn't make trouble to tear their faces, no matter how bad they were, these two sons should give him a little bit of face as a father, and they wouldn't make trouble in the court.
But what happened here today shattered his expectations and made his face fall into this manna hall in full view!
Brother wall! It was an eternal pain in his chest! Don't they know?
"Erchen doesn't dare!" Li Zhi and Li Ke glanced at each other, looked at their father who was already trembling with anger on the throne, and finally knelt down reluctantly.
"Father! Although there are few waist cards in the East Palace, it is just an iron card mixed with silver, which is not a rare thing, and it is not difficult for people to imitate it. If it is determined that the son wants to mistreat his brother with only a waist card, the son will not be convinced. ”
Li Zhi, who was kneeling on the ground, looked calm, the more anxious he was at this time, the easier it was to make mistakes, but it was better to calm down, so that he could think about the causes and consequences more clearly, and see if there was anything he could use to make use of.
"Humph! You don't have to quibble! Who's going to copy your palace waist card? Or are you really an enemy all over the world? People have to think of ways to frame you? Li Ke scoffed. Anyway, no matter how he said this, Li Zhi couldn't please him, and he didn't need to say it too deeply, which would cause his father to dislike him.
"The emperor is angry!" Seeing that the two princes were arguing, and the emperor's face was getting worse and worse, Yu Suiliang on the side spoke.
This old man, who had been upright all his life, had to come out to say something at this time, and the eldest grandson Wuji, who was standing in front of him, gave him a look that almost made his eyes cramp.
"His Royal Highness King Wu alleged that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered someone to burn his mansion, although there is a waist card as evidence, but it is still weak, the old minister thinks that since the matter has happened, it is better to simply investigate the three divisions together with the Chang'an Mansion Yin and the city guards, so that there will be a result as soon as possible, so as not to deepen the misunderstanding between the prince and the king of Wu."
Yu Suiliang's words were decent, neither saying that the prince did this, nor saying that it was King Wu's false accusation, but simply talking about things, but on the contrary, everyone in the palace agreed with his statement.
Indeed, such a matter involving royal strife is never as simple as it seems, and who knows what secrets are hidden in it? It doesn't hurt to be cautious!
"Yu Aiqing is right-someone! Spread my will! Li Shimin, who was sitting on the throne, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief at this time, his face turned from angry purple to pale, and he took a deep breath before calming down the stuffiness in his chest.
"The three divisions and patrol the city guards to thoroughly investigate the city, and all suspicious people will be imprisoned, and this matter must be found out within ten days!"
Li Shimin paused, looked at the kneeling King of Wu Li Ke and the crown prince Li Zhi, and showed a look of disappointment in his eyes. However, he quickly covered it up.
"Ke'er! If you are in the house, you will live in the palace with the princess temporarily! Father, the emperor ordered to be the overseer to repair the mansion for you, and then move it back! ”
"Yes! Sons and daughters thank their fathers for their grace! Li Ke kowtowed his head in thanksgiving, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
Although the situation in front of him did not seem particularly favorable to him, it was enough. He didn't have the luxury of hoping that with this small piece of waist card, he would be able to pull the important ministers of the court who originally supported Li Zhi under his command, he just wanted to create an ambiguous situation in the court, and with this situation, he would have more time and space than before to do what he wanted!
And looking at the way it is today, my father must have planted a seed of doubt in his heart, if he poured some water every day, would this seed sprout and grow into a deep-rooted towering tree?
"Retreat!" Li Shimin stood up tiredly, he was really tired!
In a trance, his eyes seemed to have passed the shadow of the crown prince of the year, and Yuan Ji followed behind him and showed him a mocking smile, as if to say: You also have today?
The corners of Li Shimin's lips brought a hint of self-deprecation. Oh, yes! The father of the year is who he is today! After all these years, he thought he had taught his sons well. But in the end, the sons still turned their backs on themselves one after another. Why didn't I think that one day I would be like my father?
Li Zhi frowned and looked at his father who was standing on the throne and shaking slightly. He had never seen the energetic Father Emperor look like this today, the pale face, the thinner body under the dragon robe, were all showing him the aging of his father. I don't know when he didn't see his father on a horse anymore.
The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at Li Shimin worriedly, but then turned his head and shook his head at Li Zhi almost invisibly.
As a person who has accompanied Li Shimin for most of his life, the eldest grandson Wuji undoubtedly knows him very well. He understood that Li Shimin needed to be alone at this time, and he didn't need anyone to disturb him.
Touching the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Zhi put away the worry on his face and stopped talking. It wasn't until Li Shimin left the Ganlu Hall that he withdrew from the hall with a calm face, ignoring Li Ke, the king of Wu, who had been standing not far from him.
Li Ke, who had achieved his goal, stood up and patted the non-existent dust on his knees, and then Shi Shiran walked out of the main hall.
Li Ke was not angry when his house was burned, but he was even more angry when he found out that Yu Wenjing actually put the big things in the mansion in disregard for the sake of business, but even if he beat Yu Wenjing to the point that his bones were broken, he could not change the fact that Li Mo had been robbed.
Therefore, he simply borrowed the topic to play. Didn't you come to rob Li Mo? Didn't you burn my house? Good! Then I'll simply make a big deal out of it and make it in front of my father, and see how you explain it! The waist card of the East Palace is indeed not a rare thing, but it is the best thing to rub some sand into the eyes of the emperor!
