Chapter 55: Swap!

"Father!"

Xia Qing's heart trembled, he raised his head suddenly, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Emperor Xia's indifferent and calm voice coming again: "Gentlemen, continue to drink and feast." ”

Xia Qing sat back in his seat in despair, he still had something to say to Emperor Xia, but he also saw that Blind Huang's dislike for him now had reached an extreme, and if he continued to talk about it, he was afraid that there would be no good consequences.

Behind him, the fourth prince Xia Jue's face was calm, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, which seemed to imply victory, his eyes narrowed slightly, and in front of him, the hazy back of the crown prince Xia Qing began to transform, transforming into a lingering shadow that had lingered in his mind a year ago.

"Fourth brother!" Suddenly, an extremely cold voice sounded in his ears.

Xia Jue's body shook, and he suddenly looked in one direction, only to see the third prince Xia Huan's eyes flashing with coldness, staring directly at him.

"The ninth brother is the purest of us, don't use this kind of small means on him in the future. ”

Xia Huan's voice was extremely cold, he didn't speak directly, but used some kind of 'sound transmission into the secret' method so that only Xia Jue could hear him speak.

"Third brother, haha, I'm ...... I'm doing this for you, too!" Xia Jue sneered, and under Xia Huan's razor-like gaze, the hairs on his whole body stood up. He knew that although they were all the heirs of Emperor Xia, no matter from which point of view, the third prince Xia Huan was the prince who was most similar to Emperor Xia. If the Third Prince attacked him, then he would not have any ability to fight back.

"Hmph, that little calculation in your heart, don't think I don't know. Xia Huan's majestic voice exploded in the other party's ears like thunder. After that, Xia Huan didn't care how the look on Xia Jue's face changed, and he didn't look in that direction anymore.

......

Outside the Wenhua Palace, by the Danqi fence, Li Yiqi and Gu Qianyang were still expressing their respective opinions on the matter of cutting troops. At this moment, both of them were slightly stunned, their eyes looked in the direction of the Taiji Palace, and they heard in their ears:

"I wish my emperor a long life!"

"I wish my emperor a long life!"

"I wish my emperor a long life!"

“......”

"I wish the Great Xia Dynasty, the prosperity of the country, the prosperity of the country, the society of the country, and the inheritance for thousands of years!"

"I wish the Great Xia Dynasty, the prosperity of the country, the prosperity of the country, the society of the country, and the inheritance for thousands of years!"

“......”

The congratulatory voices in the Taiji Hall are endless, and then the Wenhua Palace, the Xuanwu Palace, the Fengxian Palace, and the Tongming Palace...... In all the side halls, all kinds of people who came to the summer palace to participate in the birthday of Emperor Xia also sang the words of birthday congratulations.

"Bang Bang Bang-"

Then, with bursts of explosions and firecrackers, hundreds of thousands of fireworks rose into the sky inside and outside the summer palace and on Chang'an Street.

"Once a year, this year's fireworks are even more brilliant than last year's. Li Yiqi saw this scene from afar, and his heart was also full of waves, and he was very emotional.

"Something is wrong. Suddenly, Gu Qianyang raised his eyebrows, looked in the direction of the Taiji Palace, and asked in a deep voice, "Did you hear that?"

Hearing this, Li Yiqi also looked at it, shook his head and smiled, and said, "It's too far away, I can't hear anything." ”

"That's not right!"

Gu Qianyang shook his head, stared at that side with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice: "It's not because of the distance, it's that the Taiji Hall suddenly became quiet." ”

Hearing this, Li Yiqi's brows furrowed slightly, and he immediately understood: "In the Taiji Palace, what happened?"

"Forget it, no matter, what do you think of what I just said?" Gu Qianyang retracted his gaze and stared at Li Yiqi's eyes with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see his true thoughts.

"Even if you cut the troops by one-fifth, the situation is not as bad as you said......" Li Yiqi also came back to his senses, lowered his head, and after muttering slightly for a while, he looked at the other party with an indifferent expression, and said: "Brother Gu, you should still have something to tell me, right?"

"He is worthy of being the grandson of the Nine Princes, and he is quick to speak. ”

Gu Qianyang raised his eyebrows, he didn't seem surprised, his eyes flashed with essence, he paused, looked at Li Yiqi, and said in a deep voice: "You are a Wu'an lineage, the five princes have always admired the nine princes and his old man, if you are willing to devote yourself to the five princes' mansion, you will definitely be able to have a similar temperament with the five princes!"

"It's coming!"

Li Yiqi's expression changed slightly, and there was a fluctuation in his heart, Gu Qianyang said so much, in the end, the focus was still on this.

The battle for the throne is ......

It's a pity that even if Gu Qianyang threw an olive branch to the Li family on behalf of the five princes, he had no way to pick it up, and the fate of the Li family had long been tied to the crown prince Xia Qing.

"Brother Gu, I won't tell you, good birds choose trees to perch, virtuous ministers choose the lord to do things, although the fifth prince Xia Cao is the prince who is the most partial to the military family among all the princes, but in my heart, he is not a person who is suitable for ascending to the throne of the unification. Li Yiqi looked calm and said very calmly.

Children of the military family, many people have a good impression of the fifth prince Xia Cao, if it weren't for Li Yiqi who had just come down from Jingshan, I am afraid he would not have learned that the fifth prince Xia Cao, who was highly respected in the army, was a narrow-minded person.

"Could it be that the crown prince is the best choice?" Gu Qianyang's eyes were cold and he retorted.

"Brother Gu, I don't want to argue with you about this matter, and there is a resolution of the six ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee on the matter of cutting troops, above the six ministries, there is also the Wind Pavilion, and there are Jiuqing and the Three Princes above the Wind Pavilion, this kind of major matter involving national politics, you and I can't do anything. In Li Yiqi's words, the energy of the Li family was automatically omitted.

Gu Qianyang's eyes changed, and he also heard the meaning of Li Yiqi's words, and couldn't help but ask in a cold voice: "Could it be that the Li family is willing to be restrained by the plan to cut troops......?

"Enough!"

Li Yiqi's expression was cold, and he shook his head lightly and said: "Brother Gu, although I am willing to make you a friend, you and I will be our own masters in the future, and it is better to have fewer contacts." Remind you that the phoenix and the sycamore also need to spread their wings, and the Kunpeng will eventually return to the North Hell. The two families of soldiers and Confucianism both existed for the Xia Dynasty, and although they ruled separately, they were on the same path. It is not a good thing for the whole world to overpower one family, and from this point of view, the five princes are not the Maven. Li Yiqi said with a smile, and a deep and dark light flashed from his eyes.

Hearing this, a fierce light suddenly burst out of Gu Qianyang's eyes, and a trace of anger surged on his resolute face.

"Haha! hahahaha!"

Suddenly, Gu Qianyang laughed loudly, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Li Yiqi with a long look, and then said quietly: "The grandson of the Nine Princes, but not like the Nine Princes......"

Li Yiqi heard the mockery in Gu Qianyang's words, shook his head lightly, revealed a sense of confidence and calmness in his tone, and laughed at himself lightly: "Who knows, maybe I am not the blood of the Li family......"

"So...... In this way, it seems that they will be opponents in the future. Gu Qianyang's eyes flickered slightly, and he sighed.

In all dynasties, the dispute between the prince and the prince was the number one dangerous thing, and once he stood on the wrong side, he would immediately die without a place to be buried, and this kind of struggle was not in the open, and the real murder would not see blood! Even the Gu family behind Gu Qianyang was unwilling to confront the behemoth of the Li family. But it's a pity that Li Yiqi didn't leave room for relaxation between them.

Li Yiqi also has doubts about what Gu Qianyang is thinking, the reason why he refuses and seals all the room for turning around is that he doesn't want to leave any truth behind and be marked as a wall grass, in the future, if the crown prince Xia Qing really ascends the throne and recalls today's events, I am afraid it will be the bane of the Li family in the future.

"You can also think about it...... Gu Qianyang's sharp eyes softened, he looked at Li Yiqi calmly, and said: "I heard that you have good grades in the school palace, and there is a shortage of staff members around the Fifth Highness." ”

"No need. Li Yiqi smiled slightly, shook his head and said nothing.

He didn't believe that a martial idiot like the Fifth Prince would like a 'waste' to stay by his side, even if he went, I am afraid that the Fifth Prince Xia Cao might not really value him, and should use the identity of the Li family to add a bit of fame to him.

Of course, it would be great if he could also drive the energy of the Li family to his advantage by the way.

Seeing this scene, the last glimmer of hope in Gu Qianyang's eyes also disappeared, he waved his sleeves, and without waiting for Li Yiqi's reaction, his body shook and swept into the distance, and at the same time, an arrogant and uninhibited laughing voice came from a distance: "I will tell the fifth prince, you have to be careful in the future, hahaha." ”

"Ahh

Li Yiqi raised his head expressionlessly, staring at the night sky with deep eyes, and mixed feelings in his heart, he originally planned to befriend Gu Qianyang, but unexpectedly, a turmoil in the cutting of troops made the future helmsman of the Gu family choose the fifth prince Xia Cao, although he knew that the matter of cutting troops would definitely be vetoed in the end, but there was no evidence, what did he use to convince Gu Qianyang......

You can't tell Gu Qianyang the secret of being a human being in two lives, or even a human being in three lives......

"Thankfully, as the pillar of the forbidden army, the Gu family's status is too sensitive. Gu Yuan is an old and serious person, and he will not be easily involved in the dispute between the prince and the prince, and the Gu family's help to Xia Caoming will be extremely limited in the future......" Li Yiqi squinted his eyes, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, outlined a bitter smile, and muttered comfortingly.

"By the way, Tang Qi, on this kind of free occasion for eating, drinking, and having fun, there is no reason why he should not appear. ”

Half of the banquet had passed, and Li Yiqi was on the way back to the Wenhua Palace, but he didn't see the bulging figure, and he was a little disappointed. At this time, a young man from a family who was quite familiar to Li Yiqi bypassed in front of him, Li Yiqi's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward to stop the other party.

"Huh?!"

The person who was stopped was first startled, and then after seeing that it was Li Yiqi standing in front of him, his face became sincerely frightened, he bent down and bowed his head, and smiled respectfully: "Li Gongzi, long time no see!"

"Have you seen Tang Qi?" Li Yiqi knew that the other party was a disciple of a small family who used to run errands behind Tang Qi, so he asked directly.

"Donald, didn't ...... No, I haven't seen him for a few days, and it is said that he has been nesting in the mansion......" The disciple of the family looked restrained and had a flattering smile on his face.

"Staying in the mansion?" Li Yiqi's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt.

"yes, it's strange with those aliens. The disciple of the family couldn't help but say.

"Aliens?!"

Li Yiqi's face changed slightly, and his heart froze, and he asked, "Those people from the Northern Xinjiang Mission?"

In the past few days, if you want to talk about people of different races, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind will be the aliens from the north who came to Shangjing from thousands of miles away.

"No...... No, it's not!" the family disciple shook his head again and again, "It's those big-nosed people......"

"It's ......" The disciple of the family turned red, and he didn't even make a clear comparison, but in the end, Li Yiqi thought about it and knew that the other party was talking about aliens from the Western Regions.

"Western Regions?!"

Li Yiqi was a little surprised in his heart. It didn't take long for Tang Qi to get involved with the aliens in the Western Regions again.

"It's none of your business, you can go. Waving back the man, Li Yiqi was still a little worried in his heart.

Tang Qi is a person who can't stand loneliness, unless he is seriously ill, it is impossible to stay in the Tang Mansion for a few days in a row, which is not in line with Tang Qi's temperament.

"Forget it, ask for leave with the prince tomorrow and go to the Tang Mansion. ”

Li Yiqi glanced around, there were too many people in the Wenhua Palace, in addition to the juniors of the princely family, more were born in the local officials, and the nobles of the officials with low status were born in the local government.

"Senior brother, you're back. ”

A familiar voice came, Li Yiqi turned his head to look, his face instantly gloomy, why is this guy so ghostly.

Not far away, Wang Tianyu held the wine bottle, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, walked to Li Yiqi's side, and said with a smile: "Gu Qianyang is not a good character to get along with, right." ”

"The same goes for you. ”

Li Yiqi's eyes were cold, and he responded indifferently: "Senior brother, if I remember correctly, the relationship between me and you is not the kind of relationship that can calm down and talk." ”

"Senior brother, you have misunderstood me too deeply. Wang Tianyu glanced at Li Yiqi and smiled leisurely.

"You and I don't speculate, let's speak bluntly, senior brother. Li Yiqi took a pot of wine and poured it to his own wine bottle, the amber elixir exuded the aroma of someone, which made the mouth fragrant.

"I have a piece of news from my side, and I think you must be curious to know. Wang Tianyu smiled slightly, his expression extremely elegant.

"Well, what's the news?" Li Yiqi frowned slightly, but quickly reacted, his face changed slightly, and he asked in a condensed voice: "It has something to do with the queen's mother?"

A hint of approval flashed in Wang Tianyu's eyes, and he said with a smile: "Senior brother is really smart, in terms of qualifications, you are the person who can rank in the top three among the people I have seen, and it is really reluctant to destroy you." ”

Li Yiqi's eyes narrowed slightly, and an extremely deep light flashed in his dark pupils. He suddenly picked up the wine bottle, poured a large glass of elixir into his throat, and immediately turned pale and said word by word: "Senior brother, I will return this sentence to you as it is, but I will definitely not feel sorry for ruining you!"

"Senior brother, don't be so tense, after all, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Saying that, Wang Tianyu shook his head with a smile, and said in a voice that could only be heard by Li Yiqi: "Senior brother, did Duke Lu give you a military book at the beginning, I want that military book, in exchange, I will give you the news of the queen's mother......"
