PS: I had a stomach ache for a day today, I was so uncomfortable, I couldn't walk. But you still have to keep updating, huh?

The capital of Jingtang is in the north of Jingtang, and now it has entered early autumn, the weather in the morning and evening has gradually cooled down, and the sky is much darker than before.

Zhirong had only stayed at Concubine Yu's place for a while, and when she came out, it was already pitch black outside, but fortunately, Chunhua took the palace lamp and walked in the direction of the Shanggong Bureau with the two of them.

"My lord, why don't you see other palace people and Yu Linwei along the way. I don't usually feel anything, so how do I feel that tonight is gloomy. Chunhua took the palace lantern and looked around, and hurriedly moved closer to Zhirong.

Zhirong has always been not afraid of the dark, but Chunhua's words reminded her. If they had been gone for such a period of time, they should at least have met a group of Yu Linwei.

What's more, near this is the Qinzheng Hall and the East Palace, and the Yulinwei are more densely distributed, and the patrol time is also very close. She suddenly had a bad premonition.

At this time, he suddenly remembered the chaotic footsteps and the sound of swords, and Zhirong suddenly turned around to see the light at the intersection he had just walked gradually approaching.

A Yu Lin guard ran out covered in blood, followed by several palace guards holding torches.

The man in front desperately ran and fought with the people behind, and soon there were a few more injuries on his body, and the man saw that he couldn't live, and shouted at Zhirong: "The prince rebelled, go and save the driver!" ”

After this sentence was shouted, a sword pierced the heart, Zhirong and Chunhua reacted quickly and ran forward, and those people behind were just about to catch up before they were intercepted by the secret guards arranged by Li You beside Zhirong.

The leader of the dark guard came to Zhirong. "My lord, these people are all guards of the East Palace, it seems that the prince is really going to rebel."

Zhirong was shocked. One glance at the corpses. In front of it is the Qinzheng Palace, maybe the prince is already in the palace at this time, if no one saves the emperor in time, I am afraid that it is really dangerous.

"You send some of the secret guards to hurry up and inform King Ming at this time, remember to save your strength and don't save Yu Linwei, the important thing is to bring the news to King Ming. The rest of me will come with me to the Diligent Palace! ”

Zhirong could see that this person was not the secret guard sent to her by Yanhua, but Chunhua's calm expression made her feel slightly relieved. These should be Li You's people.

I don't know why the Dark Guard was replaced, but now is not the time to ask about it. It's the rescue that matters. Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and the only one who can really come to the rescue in the palace is Li You.

Zhirong was not so great, thinking that she could be rescued by a weak woman who didn't know martial arts. Judging from the situation just now, I am afraid that the surroundings of the Qinzheng Palace have been surrounded by the prince's people, and it is impossible for her to go back if she wants to, since she can't run, it is better to rush forward.

She and Chunhua were escorted by ten secret guards all the way forward, and there was only one big road in front of them at any other intersection. The Diligent Hall is a must-visit place.

Just when she was about to rush to Qinzheng, several dark shadows suddenly appeared. The sword stabbed straight at her, and Zhirong dodged back and forth under the protection of the secret guard, and all of them came towards her, and every move was to kill her.

"My lord, it's been solved!" The leader of the secret guard reported to Zhirong: "Their martial arts path is like that of the Yan family's secret guard. ”

The secret guards of the Yan family want to kill her, how is it possible. Zhirong even believed that someone imitated the Yan family's secret guards and framed him. A few words from Concubine Yu, the assassination of these secret guards was not enough to make her lose confidence in Yanhua.

Later, Zhirong encountered two waves of Yan family's secret guards, and there were not many of them. But the martial arts are excellent, and when they see her, they stab at the point.

In this way, along the way, Li You's secret guards also suffered casualties. When they arrived at the Qinzheng Palace, only half of the ten people remained.

Seeing that Yu Linwei was still patrolling normally at the gate of the Qinzheng Palace, Zhirong breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the prince's people only controlled Yu Linwei on the periphery and did not act.

Zhirong hurriedly stepped forward to report his name and said that he had something important to meet the emperor, and Yu Linwei passed it on to the eunuch Liu Gonggong.

Gonggong Liu saw Zhirong and smiled: "Isn't this Lord Bai, how can you come here to see Your Majesty on this big night?" His Majesty is now playing chess with His Royal Highness the Prince, Lord Bai should go back, the emperor doesn't like others to disturb him playing chess the most, and it will not be good to offend the Lord when the time comes. ”

Zhirong pulled Gonggong Liu and whispered a few words in his ear, and Gonggong Liu almost screamed when he heard it. Zhirong hurriedly covered his mouth.

"Shhh

Yu Linwei outside the palace didn't know whether it was reliable or unreliable.

The prince hadn't sent a signal yet, so his people didn't move after controlling the Yulin guard outside, and if the prince was alarmed at this time, then the situation would not be good.

It's just that the prince can have as many troops in the palace, and I'm afraid that there are forces outside the palace involved, so Yu Linwei will not have the upper hand. And Li You is not many people in the palace, so he may not be the prince's opponent.

Therefore, Zhirong decided to enter the main hall, contain the prince, and remind the emperor. If the crown prince is accused, then his men will not be afraid.

Gonggong Liu was the old man in the palace, and immediately reacted, and said loudly: "Lord Bai, look at the memory of the slave, the emperor asked you to embroider a portrait of him, the old slave has forgotten, if it weren't for the adult, the old slave would be scolded by the emperor again." ”

"Where, my father-in-law is polite."

Zhirong followed Gonggong Liu into the main hall, her eyes swept over the outermost Yulin Guard, and then nodded to the darkness.

In the main hall, Li Jizheng was playing chess with the prince with great interest, and Xia Yunsheng's attitude towards him was not bad today, which made him happy, and he was better than usual for the prince, and he didn't forget to ask the prince about his diet and homework when he played chess.

It is precisely because of such a concern that he has not felt for a long time that the crown prince Li Sheng did not send a signal as soon as he came in, but accompanied his father to play chess, and was also praised by Li Ji for improving his chess skills a lot.

These all made the prince feel very uncomfortable, although he was irritable and murderous, but because he was the eldest son, the emperor cared more about him than other princes, Li Jigang sat on the throne and made him the prince, and gave the best everything.

Zhirong and Chunhua had already come in with Gonggong Liu, and they had to hide in the dark for the time being when they saw this scene.

"Sheng'er. Southern Xinjiang is about to be recovered, and Jin Zixuan is very good this time, and he has won many military exploits. I decided not to condemn him and reward him and the Kim family heavily. ”

Hearing Li Ji mention Prince Jin Zixuan, he couldn't help but jump his eyelids, and said in a low voice: "Father is wise, and the sons think that the Yan family, the Wen family, and the Murong family have more credit. ”

"That kid Yanhua is indeed capable, but if he didn't have the Southwest Army, he wouldn't have won so easily."

Li Ji fell with a sunspot, touched his beard and continued: "Sheng'er, I feel old these days. is a little powerless for government affairs, you are the crown prince of Jingtang, and this dynasty will be yours sooner or later. You have to work hard to participate in government affairs and share my worries. ”

Li Sheng's heart fluttered, wondering what his father's words meant, did he not have the idea of abolishing the prince at all? If so, what kind of palace changes are you doing?

However, when I thought about it, my father was in a good mood today. If it's not good. Maybe it's another reprimand that slashes his head and covers his face. If my father can say such things to himself, won't he say it to King Cheng or King Ming?

Thinking like this, Li Sheng fixed his mind, and a white word fell, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of Li Ji's mouth, and sadness appeared in his eyes, "I am really old, Sheng'er, this is the first time you have won me." ”

Li Ji stood up and said coldly: "This is the first time you have won against me, and it is also the last time. ”

Li Sheng also stood up, he looked at the elderly father and the chessboard, and suddenly felt a lot more happy, the country of Jingtang will be his sooner or later, so let's start tonight.

"Father. The sons will also practice diligently, and they will definitely not disappoint their father. ”

Li Ji stared at this son, who had been petted since he was a child. Looking at the impatient light in his eyes, he sighed deeply.

"Father, the son has been the crown prince for nearly twenty-five years, and the father has also been the emperor for twenty-five years, the father naturally feels tired, it is better to let the son share the worries for the father."

Li Sheng said as he took out a blank holy decree from his sleeve.

"Sheng'er, you really grew up, and you even did it to force the palace!" Li Ji was not surprised, but took the Holy Purpose and paced in the main hall. "You are so ruthless that you deserve to be my son!"

The forced palace is nothing in his eyes, and he killed all his brothers and stepped on the bloody road to the throne. Now that his son has the courage to threaten him, he is happy.

"It's just that, Sheng'er, your plan is too clumsy. If you had been more thoughtful, I would have decreed the succession. Not yet, though! ”

Li Ji smiled and looked at Li Sheng like a clown. Li Shengdeng was annoyed, it turned out that his father had already guessed his motive, so it was better to die with a fish.

With a wave of his hand, more than two dozen black-clothed people immediately came down from the top of the main hall, and Li Sheng had already made up his mind at this time.

"Father, your secret guards have been cleared by me, and the tea you just drank is also poisonous, as long as you pass on the throne to me, I will definitely give you an antidote, so that you can be the emperor for a long time."

Li Ji sat down on the dragon chair all of a sudden, but he still tried his best to sit upright without damaging the majesty of the king of a country. "If it weren't for the fact that your poison had worked in advance, I really wouldn't have noticed. Sheng'er, since you are forced to poison the uterus, you should also choose a poison with fast effect, I am really a little disappointed, you are still not ruthless enough. ”

Li Sheng thought that Li Ji was confused, how could he hope that he would be killed by his son?

"Father, all you need is a holy decree. Erchen really didn't want to harm his father. Li Sheng explained.

Who knew that Li Ji showed more disappointment on his face, "Sheng'er, you are still not decisive enough, not ruthless enough, and want to obtain the throne justifiably?" You must know that a dynasty cannot accommodate two kings. ”

Li Sheng was completely enraged, he motioned to his subordinates to send a signal, and soon heard the sound of fighting outside the palace, he laughed arrogantly: "Father, are you satisfied this time?" The entire palace was controlled by the ministers, and there were also people from the ministers outside the palace. Since you want to die so much, let your son give you a ride. ”

Zhirong, who was hiding behind the screen, was shocked, and Li Sheng had already pointed his sword at Li Ji. However, although Li Ji was poisoned and his martial arts were still there, he dodged the deadly sword.

"Your Majesty!" Zhirong took a sword and threw it at Li Ji, and Gonggong Liu also stepped forward with a sword to rescue him.

The moment Li Ji took the sword, he took a deep look at Zhirong, "What a bold girl!" As he spoke, he had already blocked Li Sheng's second sword.

And those black-clothed people also came towards Li Ji, Li Sheng was very proud, this time his father was dead!

However, the moment several black-clothed people approached the emperor, they suddenly turned around and killed their companions behind with lightning speed, and these people were the secret guards brought by Zhirong.

They are all top players, and each of them can beat ten against one. However, the prince's people are also elite, and these people are also in a bitter battle.

Fortunately, Li Ji was still able to perform martial arts, and Liu Gonggong's martial arts were not bad, Li Sheng gradually felt struggling, so he simply resorted to killing moves. The unique secret weapon of the King of Anjun.

Zhirong was originally going to hide, but Li Sheng was getting closer and closer to her, so that she saw Li Sheng's small movements, and intuitively told her that it must be something that took people's lives.

The ghost sent her to pounce on Li Ji: "The emperor is careful!" Immediately she felt a piercing pain in her left shoulder, and she spurted out a mouthful of black blood and fell to the ground. Chunhua jumped up and hugged her and cried.

Li Ji watched Zhirong's face gradually turn dark, and suddenly remembered what Xia Yunshang had said during the day, begging him to treat his apprentice well. Xia Yunshang has already forgiven him a lot, and if her apprentice dies at this time, she will definitely have to turn against him again.

As an emperor in this life, he can't be capricious, and sometimes he can't even choose.

Finally, now he can get the woman he loves, but he was destroyed by his son, just now he was really happy for his son's ruthlessness, but he just wanted to provoke the prince to see how ruthless the prince could be.

Naxia Yunshang's wish to be a concubine has not been realized, how can she abdicate? How can I die?

He glared at Li Sheng angrily: "Sheng'er, I have given you many opportunities, and when I play chess, I let you step by step, but you don't realize it, you have to take this step, it's stupid!" ”

Li Sheng didn't care about anything anymore, he said loudly: "Father, it's all my people outside, don't struggle anymore!" Just die! ”

As he spoke, Li Sheng shot the hidden weapon at Li Ji again, and this time he only heard a 'ding', and the hidden weapon was shot down by a ray of light, and then he saw Li You standing in front of Li Ji with a sword in his hand.

"Father, the son's rescue was too late, and my father was frightened."

Li Jiyi waved his hand: "Take down that unfilial son for me!" ”

Li You saw Zhirong in Chunhua's arms smiling weakly at him, with a blue-black face and black blood still on the corners of his mouth, Li You was furious and immediately stepped forward to confront Li Sheng.

The two sons were fighting below, but the father sat leisurely on the dragon chair and watched with a smile, Zhirong sat on the ground and looked up at Li Ji, feeling sad for Li You in his heart.

Li Sheng originally thought that his swordsmanship was the best among all the princes, but after more than a dozen moves, he gradually fell behind, and Li You's martial arts were far beyond his imagination.

He had never cared about this cynical and childish younger brother before, and he always felt that this was the most unpleasant, but since the death of Emperor Wenrui, Li You has shown amazing political talent and military talent.

And now he has revealed his superb martial arts. There were dozens of more moves, and Li You's sword, which had no suspense, was next to his brother's neck. (To be continued......)
