228 The Struggle for the Great Position
Li Weiyang thought about it carefully, and then said, "I want to go and see the situation outside." β
Yuan Lie shook his head disapprovingly: "The imperial doctor said that your wind and cold are not good yet, and you should cover it in a warm environment, do you want to run outside?" No way! As he said this, Li Weiyang had already sat up. Yuan Lie hurriedly pressed her down, "I said it all, the things outside let them make trouble, we don't have to worry about it." β
Li Weiyang frowned, looked at him and said: "It's a pity to miss such a wonderful scene, I want to see what those people will do when the king dies." β
Knowing that you are this kind of character, Yuan Lie thought about it, and then instructed Zhao Yue: "Go and bring your young lady's thickest cloak." β
Of course, Li Weiyang stopped him: "I'm just infected with a little wind chill, so I don't need to be so nervous." It's okay. β
At this time, Mrs. Guo's voice came from the door of the tent, she walked in quickly, and happened to hear them talking, so she hurriedly said: "Jia'er, this time His Royal Highness King Xu said well, there is a commotion outside, your father and three brothers have rushed to deal with it, in my opinion, it is better for you not to move, if the typhoid fever is aggravated, won't the gain outweigh the loss?" β
Li Weiyang smiled and said: "I just drank the medicine and covered it for a while, if you don't let me see it, mother, I won't feel at ease." β
Mrs. Guo looked at her helplessly, and had no choice but to say, "If you have to go to see it, you have to dress tightly!" Zhao Yue, change the brocade robe I brought to your young lady for her. β
Zhao Yue smiled lightly when she heard this, and soon took a brocade robe embroidered with peacocks. Li Weiyang saw that his scalp was numb, and now it was just spring, but Mrs. Guo brought all the clothes for late autumn. The thick satin, with cotton on the inside and the fluffy fur of the fox on the outside, looks very warm, but can this kind of clothing be worn?
Mrs. Guo saw through her thoughts and said, "It's windy on the grassland, what does it matter if you wear more?" You are still sick, listen to me, put on your clothes before you are allowed to go out. β
Li Weiyang glanced at it in embarrassment, and had no choice but to say, "Okay then." As she said this, she looked at Yuan Lie and said, "You go out and wait for me, I'll be there in a while." β
Yuan Lie smiled, and then saluted Mrs. Guo. Only then did she walk out, and Mrs. Guo glanced at his back and said, "What about the cloak that King Xu said just now?" Bring it with you. β
Li Weiyang was speechless, and it took a long time to send Mrs. Guo away. When she walked out of the tent, she was wrapped like a dumpling, and her dress made Yuan Yeol laugh involuntarily.
Li Weiyang glared at him and said, "What are you laughing at?" It's not your masterpiece yet. "An autumn coat and a cape, this outfit is really a joke. But what Mrs. Guo said is also good, the wind on this grassland is indeed very strong, she is wearing such thick clothes, and she is still trembling slightly, maybe the wind cold has worsened. She looked at Yuan Lie and said softly, "Let's go ahead and take a look." β
Yuan Yeol nodded and stayed next to her. It took the two of them almost half an hour to finish the originally not long road, when a gust of wind blew, Li Weiyang coughed lightly twice, and his cheeks turned red.
Yuan Lie looked at her, and said with distress in his eyes: "I told you, don't be reckless!" And what is there to see about those people! Let's go back now! β
Li Weiyang made a gesture to him lightly, signaling him to pay attention to that side, Yuan Lie followed her gaze and looked over, before the Golden Horde, the second prince and the third prince had already drawn their swords, obviously preparing to fight each other, and the Khan kings even scolded and pushed each other, and even some people even fell to the ground with felt hats, and their clothes were torn, ignoring the image of being high in the past.
Li Weiyang stood far away, couldn't help laughing, she said: "I can't imagine that the people on the grassland are so subtle, in order to grab the throne, they actually fought in public. β
Yuan Lie sneered and said, "Among the princes, the second prince is brave and the third prince is cunning, and he is the most powerful contender for the throne. If it weren't for the impure bloodline of the third prince, I'm afraid the Maharaja would have already chosen him as his heir. Now if the battle is decided by force, the second prince and the third prince are evenly matched, but the second prince supports the prince, and the third prince and King Jing are quite harmonious, and which of the two of them can win seems to depend on the dispute between the prince and King Jing. β
Li Weiyang glanced at Yuan Lie and smiled: "So, who do you think among them can win?" β
Yuan Lie smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "Naturally, it is the third prince, when Batu died, the princes all had their own pumps, but in just a few days, the situation has changed." I heard that one-third of the Khan kings are neutral now, and the other support the second prince and the third prince respectively, thinking that these three princes are not the blood of the Maharaja, but they can also win so many supports, it can be seen that this person is not simple, I think he is really suitable to be this Maharaja. It's just that he has a lot of thoughts, and once he ascends to the position of the Great Monarch, he will definitely be left and right between Yuexi and Da Zhou, and take advantage of it. β
Li Weiyang smiled lightly, her smile was like a blooming plum blossom in the cold wind, cold and fragrant, she moved her lips, wanted to say something, but stopped, just turned her head away, and watched this scene quietly. The wind rolled up her cloak and hunted, Yuan Lie watched from the side, and hurriedly pressed her cloak and said, "Since you have seen it, let's go back, I see that they can't fight for a while." β
Li Weiyang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "The most lively scene hasn't come yet, haven't you heard from your mother that your father and my three older brothers are all fighting in the crowd?" But did you see them? β
Yuan Lie took a look, the crowd was crowded over there, and he really couldn't see the figures of the nobles in Yuexi, so where were Qi Guogong and the others? Suddenly, a sharp voice came from the crowd and said, "Your Majesty has arrived!" β
Yuan Lie and Li Weiyang were both startled at the same time, and then saw the bright yellow honor guard arrive. Emperor Yuexi's face was covered with a layer of frost, and his holy car was already in front of the Golden Horde in an instant, he stepped down from the dragon chariot and walked towards the second and third princes step by step.
The people who were already in a mess didn't notice the surrounding scene at all, but those Khan kings were already stunned. No one dared to believe that Emperor Yuexi seemed to burst out of a lion-like power from his body, he easily tore apart the two people with one hand, grabbed the collar of the second prince fiercely, and lifted his whole person up like a sack. The emperor's gaze was very contemptuous, and he looked at the second prince as if he was looking at a dog. The second prince was about to scold angrily, but when he saw those eyes, those amber eyes, but they were a hundred times more vicious than Yuan Lie, and he was immediately frightened and silent. The emperor sneered, as if sending a little chicken, and threw him to the ground, and then he slapped the third prince again, and both of them were stunned by him, and the scene was silent.
Originally, this thing could be done by the guards around the emperor, but at this moment, the emperor did not have the slightest sense of disobedience, he was more like a sharp sword, straight into the opponent's battle, and gave a heavy blow to each without mercy. Emperor Yuexi said with a cold gaze: "I am an outsider and disdain to interfere in the battle for the throne on your grassland, but your father is still dead there, and his bones are not cold!" You are fighting for the throne here, fighting to the death like chickens and dogs, looking at your disloyal and unfilial sons, I am chilled for the king! β
As soon as he said this, the faces of the second prince and the third prince showed shame, their father's bones were not cold, they really shouldn't have been rushed together in this situation. If others said so, they would immediately raise their swords and kill each other, but when the emperor opened his mouth, the weight was naturally different. The third prince Bashu was a shrewd and capable person, he immediately looked extremely guilty, bowed his head and knelt down to Emperor Yuexi and said: "Your Majesty, I think my father's death is very strange, please uphold justice for him!" β
The emperor glanced at him coldly and said, "Justice? Didn't you say that your father was bitten to death by wolves? As he said this, Li Weiyang noticed that through the heavy crowd, the corners of the emperor's mouth twitched imperceptibly, and such a subtle movement made Li Weiyang's eyes squint slightly.
I heard Bashu say loudly: "I just checked my father's body, in addition to the marks of the wolves' bites, there is also a wound left by an iron rod on his back, I think it was when he was fighting with the wolves, someone attacked him from behind, causing him to fall off his horse and fall into the wolves at once." If it weren't for that, how could such a brave man as the Maharaja of the Prairie die in the mouths of a pack of wolves? In fact, Ba Shu wanted to say this for a long time, but the second prince was too unreasonable, and grabbed his neck so that he had no way to explain the reason clearly.
Emperor Yuexi's gaze wandered over the two of them, but his eyes looked particularly gloomy. The second prince Balu was annoyed and said angrily: "Bashu, what do you mean by that? Is there any conclusive evidence? β
Ba Shu snorted coldly, slapped his palm, and saw that a guard escorted a few people up, Ba Shu pointed at them and said: "They are the personal guards around the king, if there is any problem, just interrogate them carefully, who betrayed the king!" The four people who were escorted up looked at each other, and no one dared to say anything, and finally they just kowtowed again and again: "The third prince spares his life, we don't know anything." β
Ba Shu sneered: "Since you don't say it, then you can only carry out the punishment of protecting the Maharaja and light all four of you with sky lanterns!" β
When the four of them heard this, they suddenly showed a look of horror on their faces, but they still didn't say a word. Ba Shu snorted coldly, pulled out the long sword at his waist, and slashed straight at the person in the center, the moment the blade was close to the tip of his nose, the person's face was like gold paper, sweat was like rain, and he said loudly: "All the minions are explained, all the minions are spoken!" After speaking, he pointed to the second prince Balu who was standing aside and said: "It was the second prince who gave the minions gold and silver treasures, and let the minions kill the king when necessary, so as to support him to ascend the throne!" He also promised to the slaves and high-ranking officials, cattle and sheep treasures! β
After he said this, everyone's faces changed. Ba Shu's face showed a smug expression, Balu's swarthy face suddenly turned red, and he said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about!? So saying, he rushed forward and grabbed the man by the collar as if to smash him. His iron arms grabbed the man so that he couldn't speak, and the whole person was pinched and shouted for help, Balu sneered, and actually lifted the man violently, bent his left knee and broke the man in half. Everyone turned pale when they heard the sound of broken bones, and they heard Ba Shu say in a non-yin and non-yang manner: "Second brother, do you want to kill people and kill your mouth?" β
Ba Lu turned his head and looked at Ba Shu angrily: "I know, you must have bribed this person and asked him to frame me for perjury!" You cunning thing, do you think you are ruthless enough, strike first, and you will be able to be the king of the grassland? If you have the ability, you can kill all the people and kill all the Khan kings here, so you won't have to compete with you for this position! Otherwise, what qualifications do you have to inherit the Maharaja, a bastard with an unjustified name? β
Although he was poked in the sore spot, Ba Shu sneered with an unchanged expression: "Now it's useless for you to say this again, your intrigues and tricks have been exposed in front of everyone, and the crime of murdering the Maharaja is really unforgivable!" According to the rules, we will cut open your chest, dig out your heart, and put your head together with those rebels! To comfort the spirit of the Maharaja in heaven! As he spoke, he turned back and instructed the guards beside him, "Don't do it yet?" β
Balu's face changed, and he said angrily: "You dare to do it!" The people around him were about to rush forward.
At this moment, everyone heard Emperor Yuexi say coldly: "Shut up!" β
Everyone looked at him, a little surprised for a moment, and Ba Shu said coldly: "Your Majesty, didn't you say that you won't participate in our struggle for the throne?" β
The emperor said lightly: "Balu assassinated the prince first, and plotted to seize the throne later, Ba Shu you are even more suspicious and have bad intentions, neither of you is qualified to inherit the position of the king!" I didn't say that, but your father! As he spoke, he waved his hand, and naturally there was a eunuch next to him who sent a box inlaid with rubies, and everyone saw the box, and their faces were shocked, and one of the old Khan kings lost his voice and said: "This, this is the jade dragon box, how can it be in your hand?" β
The Emperor's face was flat, and he opened the box with his hand, took out a parchment scroll from it, and then raised his hand to unfold it, revealing its contents in front of everyone. The khans stepped forward one after another, and looked carefully at the handwriting, but they were all stunned. The fifth prince Ba Xuan, who had been silent in the crowd, suddenly jumped up and was ecstatic: "The prince has passed the throne to me, and I am the real prince of the grassland!" After he finished saying this, everyone else glared at him angrily, especially Balu and Bashu, Bashu took a step forward, his face was extremely ugly, he looked at the emperor and said, "What is this?" β
The emperor said casually: "As a grassland person, you don't even know the jade dragon box you used to establish the reserve?" β
Ba Shu said in disbelief: "How can this thing be in your hands?" Immediately, he and Balu glanced at each other, and the two of them walked to the side together, looking at the Yuexi Emperor with fierce eyes, and in the face of a strong enemy, they were ready to unite first, and then solve the problem of the Great Monarch afterwards.
The emperor sneered, and with a wave of his hand, everyone saw thousands of forbidden troops surging like a tide, with three layers inside and three layers outside, surrounding all the grassland nobles in the middle, and the sword with a cold and shining sword was on the necks of several princes. Before the soldiers of Balu and Bashu could react, they were already being held hostage, and their weapons were thrown to the ground.
Li Weiyang smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty really expected a qiΔ a long time ago." β
Yuan Lie smiled lazily and smiled: "The chair of Emperor Yuexi is not easy to sit on, how can he be vain!" β
Ba Shu couldn't help gritting his teeth, he himself had three thousand soldiers, all of them should be outside the camp at this moment, just in case of accidents, he had already transferred them here, as long as he waited another half an hour, his people would arrive-
"Are you waiting for reinforcements? It's a shame they won't come. The emperor smiled slightly, and watched Ba Shu's face change, "And the letters between you and those Khan kings who rebelled together are also in my hands, do you want me to show them to everyone?" β
Cold sweat rolled down Ba Shu's forehead, the emperor didn't look at him anymore, but walked towards the fifth prince Ba Xuan, Ba Xuan was a little afraid of that face, and his intuition took two steps back, but the emperor actually raised his wrist high and said loudly: "The fifth prince Ba Xuan is the heir chosen by the Great Prince, and from now on, he will be the master of your grassland!" Your new Maharaja! β
His voice echoed in the steppe, but no one answered, and the steppe people did not understand what was happening in front of them, and some of the Khan kings had already spoken out against it: "Our lord should be established by us, you are an outsider, why should you point fingers?" β
The emperor glanced at him coldly, and in the next instant, the head of the old Khan King was cut off to the ground, and he rolled to the feet of Bashu with a grunt, he was shocked, and he understood something, looking at the head of the old Khan King, despair surged for a while, they were too young and too stupid! If you want to get the position of the Maharaja, where is it so easy!
The emperor smiled and looked at the crowd: "Why is no one cheering?" Your new Maharaja has been born. β
What will happen if they resist? Looking at the cold-faced forbidden army around them, as long as they say a word, then thousands of dense long swords will completely nail them into a honeycomb. The people on the grassland looked at each other, no one spoke for a long time, everyone's eyes finally fell on the head that rolled to the ground, and finally someone was the first to kneel, slowly, one after another, all of them knelt on the ground, they buried their faces in the ground, and then raised their mouths, cheering the name of the fifth prince Ba Xuan, and the voice suddenly spread very high, as if to break through the sky.
Ba Xuan stood blankly, originally he did not expect the Maharaja to pass the position to him, because he was the most cowardly of the princes, so that no one in the grassland supported him. He was not as valiant as his brothers, although he had imagined countless times that one day he would inherit the position of the Maharaja, marry the most beautiful girl in the steppe, and own the most vast land, and everyone would fall to their knees and bow down to him, but that was only imagination. Today, it really came true, which gave him a sudden sense of unreality...... At this time, he only heard a deep voice from the side, and Emperor Yuexi smiled at him: "Child, from now on you will be the master of the grassland." β
At this moment, the emperor looked particularly gentle, and it was simply creepy.
That meaningful look made Ba Xuan startled, it was by no means friendship, nor help, but a deterrent, he only felt that his heart was beating all of a sudden, and then suddenly opened up, and quickly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Emperor." β
The Emperor just smiled faintly, noncommittal. The cheers continued, and Balu and Bashu looked at each other, stiffened their necks in unison, and did not make a sound. Ba Shu is a smart man, he finally knelt down and prayed to the new maharaja, and Ba Lu was quickly escorted down by Yuexi's army because he refused to beg for mercy and refused to recognize Ba Xuan's position, and Ba Shu knew in his heart that he would never see this second brother again. Who is the hunter and who is the prey in this cabinet hunting? When he thought about it, his whole body felt like falling into an ice cave, and it was extremely cold.
During his succession, he fought to the death against the Yuexi Emperor, intending to lead the brave cavalry to completely get rid of the control of Yuexi, but unfortunately he failed, so according to the custom, he bowed his head to the Yuexi people, and went to form an alliance with the Yuexi Emperor as a barbarian master, and contributed fertile pastures for the Yuexi royal family to hunt for fun. In his later years, his eldest son was killed in an accident, and his two sons fought for the throne, and finally the throne fell to the fifth prince, Ba Xuan. Ba Xuan became the new prince of the grassland because of the support of the Yuexi Iron Cavalry, but according to his strength, he could not sit firmly in this position, the only way is to continue to be attached to Yuexi, attached to the emperor, only in this way can he keep his position, in order to suppress the people who resist him, whether it is the second prince Balu supported by the crown prince, or the Bashu supported by His Royal Highness King Jing, they are just a meteor, Xuan He for a while, and then disappeared.
The crown prince and King Jing saw this scene from a distance, and the prince suddenly sneered, but he didn't know what he was laughing at. King Jing looked at him, his eyes revealing a hint of deep thought.
The prince smiled: "You fight for me, what's the difference between you and us?" These two people were so stupid that they let someone else take advantage of it. Although the prince did not say it explicitly, King Jing understood what he meant, and the two of them stood together in harmony and talked quietly.
King Jing smiled, but the smile was somewhat inexplicably mocking, and he said slowly: "If they wait for the king to be buried before acting, they won't fall to this point, blame the two of them for being too anxious." King Jing was very disappointed in Bashu, he thought that the three princes had some brains, but he didn't expect that his ambition for power made his mind hot for a while, and he would do such an irrational thing. Fortunately, Ba Shu stopped in time, otherwise Balu's fate was waiting for him. I also know that my father will never spare Balu, because he will never let go of anyone who dares to resist him.
The emperor gave the order without haste, and tomorrow the maharaja will be officially mourned, and the new maharaja will succeed to the throne at the same time: "Now that this maharaja is young and promising, I believe that the steppe will prosper under his leadership, and you will have more land, more slaves, and more wealth." He didn't need to raise his voice deliberately, except for the sound of the wind, there was silence on the field, no one spoke, and people looked at him, even the bravest steppe warrior, with fear and uneasiness in their eyes.
Li Weiyang said lightly: "This hunting, Your Majesty is really fruitful." β
Yuan Lie looked at her and said with a warm smile: "What, is it unexpected by you?" The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, isn't that the truth? β
Li Weiyang sighed softly, at that moment, she had the illusion of a trance, the Yuexi Emperor in front of her was like a lion who had been sleeping, but when he opened his eyes, the momentum could cover everyone. The emperor took advantage of the contradictions between their brothers to support the five princes to become the prince of the grassland, but the personality of the fifth prince was very cowardly, and he had to hand over the control of the grassland in order to be able to sit firmly in the position of the prince, and such a deal was very cost-effective. The new maharaja took out his cavalry and the grassland to bow down to the Yuexi people, and Yuexi no longer had to worry about the grassland turning against each other, because they had lost this power.
In fact, if Balu or Bashu inherit the throne, according to their strong character, one day they will have to turn against Yuexi, and then the Yuexi people's control of the grassland will weaken, and the grassland may take advantage of the contradiction between Yuexi and the Great Zhou to find ways to blackmail the subordinate.
Yuan Lie said with a playful and disdainful tone: "In fact, the enemy on the grassland is not Yuexi, nor the Great Zhou, but themselves, the emperor just saw the contradiction between them with his own eyes, so he will take advantage of it, and think about the ......death of the Great Monarch" Half of the words were left for the other half, and Li Weiyang was tacit. If Bashu testifies that Balu planted people around the Maharaja, then who can see through it in that dark night? Does it mean that Bashu has also planted people behind the Maharaja, no, it should be said that there are too many forces around the Maharaja, so that his sons did not expect to be stared at by the cold-eyed yellow finch behind him, so they can't be winners, they can only lose miserably.
As Yuan Lie expected, the next day the Yuexi Emperor had already executed Balu, and demoted Bashu to a concubine, and rushed far away to the most barren land on the grassland, where survival is a problem, Bashu can barely think of is to let his people eat their stomachs, not to fight for the throne, so that the people who can compete with the five princes on the grassland will no longer have zΓ i. As for those Khan kings, after the emperor killed four or five people in succession, the others were quiet. The opposition forces on the grassland also tried to resist the Yuexi Emperor, but they finally found that at some point, the wind direction changed, and the Khan kings, who had always supported the second prince to succeed to the throne, divided the cattle, sheep, and population owned by the second and third princes, and kept silent about this qiΔ. The most powerful of the Khans, Ta Khan, Tuoke, and Woking, all supported the five princes proposed by the Yuexi Emperor, and their support could allow the five princes to quickly stabilize their positions and deter other tribes.
When she heard the news, Li Weiyang smiled slightly, she looked at Princess Ali who came to visit her and said, "The fighting scene that the princess was worried about didn't happen, you should be happy." β
Princess Ali nodded and said: "No matter what, the fifth brother is a kind-hearted person, he may not be a good monarch, but he will definitely not have any more disputes casually, with the protection of Yuexi, the grassland may become peaceful." β
Li Weiyang smiled coldly in his heart, this child is still too young after all, she doesn't even know that everything is decided by that person, he controls the power of the grassland, is the next step to do it to Da Zhou? With the help of external contradictions and internal disputes, what kind of person is this emperor of Yuexi?
Princess Ali wiped her red eyes, then looked at Li Weiyang and said, "Are you going to leave for your trip back soon?" β
Li Weiyang nodded, and Ali said softly: "Today is the funeral of the Maharaja, will you also come to attend?" β
Li Weiyang's eyes sighed, and said: "This is natural, Your Majesty has ordered all the Yuexi nobles to go to see off the Maharaja, which is also the respect of the Yuexi people for you." β
Princess Ali nodded, and she suddenly spoke, "After the funeral, can I go back with you?" β
Li Weiyang looked at Ali but smiled slightly, "Are you still for King Jing?" β
Princess Ali shook her head, she said slowly: "For King Jing, everything I should do and can do has been done, and there is nothing to regret anymore, I want to leave the grassland just because the prince is dead, the third brother is also exiled, and I have no other relatives here, so I want to go to see elsewhere, I heard that Yuexi is very rich, the girl's clothes are very beautiful, and the young man is also very handsome, maybe I can find my sweetheart." β
Li Weiyang's heart moved slightly, she pondered for a moment before she spoke: "If the princess is willing, naturally she can, and I also welcome you to live in the Guo family, I think the fourth brother will be very happy." Li Weiyang noticed that when she mentioned Guo Dun, Princess Ali's face seemed to be red, although she hadn't changed her mind so quickly, but Guo Dun's confession still left a deep impression on her.
Princess Ali stood up, patted her skirt, and then said to Li Weiyang: "The afternoon is the funeral ceremony, I will wait for you outside, you are ready, let's go together." β
Li Weiyang nodded, and then subconsciously coughed heavily. Zhao Yue looked at her worriedly, she always felt that the wind and cold this time had damaged Li Weiyang's spirit, but the environment on the grassland was not good, and the wind and sand were also big, so she hoped to leave for her as soon as possible, so that Li Weiyang could recover as soon as possible.
The Maharaja's funeral was very simple, just setting up a pyre and carrying the body up. The wizards, on the other hand, wielded knives and sang songs. Li Weiyang couldn't understand what this song was singing, but saw countless grassland people kneeling from the slope to the bottom of the slope, almost covering most of the camp, they raised their hands high, and kept singing some strange song to the sky. Until the fifth prince threw down the fireball with his own hands, the pyre turned into a huge fire, and the raging fire gradually burned the body of the Maharaja.
Li Weiyang looked at this scene, her eyes became very deep, in this scene, she thought she was the winner, but now it seems that it is just a small victory, and the biggest winner is in the golden tent at the moment.
The emperor was dealing with official documents, and there were already red pinching marks on his forehead, because of the great pain in his forehead, he always pinched his eyebrows, which caused a red mark, and this mark was very deep, faintly blackened, at this time, the tent moved, but saw Yuan Lie stride in, and saluted: "Yuan Lie has seen His Majesty." Wonyeol's attitude was neither lukewarm nor hot.
When the emperor saw him, he showed impatience, threw the official document on the case at once, and stared at his son, "Let you come to the grassland, but what do you gain?" β
Yuan Lie glanced at him, and said in his heart that this harvest is really not small, but the biggest gain is clearly you, but he didn't say it. The emperor sneered and said: "The rules in this world are very simple, whether it is Yuexi or the grassland, there is a knife in his hand, if I don't kill him, he will kill me." If you don't cut down the enemy and expand your territory, you will soon not be able to hold your position, just like the Maharaja. But every time I look at you, I look like a wreck, always circling around a woman's skirt. He chuckled softly, with a bit of coldness in it.
Yuan Lie looked at him, was silent for a long time, and slowly spit out a word: "Your Majesty, this bureau is very wonderful. β
The emperor looked up at him and said, "Oh? What kind of bureau have I set up? β
Yuan Lie sighed softly and said: "If the prince stays in the golden tent well, he will definitely not encounter danger, I guess it was Empress Pei who bought him first and ordered him to take my and Guo Jia's lives." His Majesty acquiesced to him, with your acquiescence, the Maharaja will be so unscrupulous to pursue and kill us, as soon as he moves, you will follow him, and when he reaches the exhaustion of strength, lead him into the wolves, and then give him a fatal blow, and then plant the blame on the second prince Balu, and then take advantage of the dispute between Balu and Bashu, kill several Khan kings, deter them, so that the other princes who are ready to move do not dare to act rashly, and you also supported the most cowardly and incompetent fifth prince to ascend to the position of the Maharaja. He has no other skills, and his biggest advantage is to be obedient, and only by attaching himself to you can he sit firmly in the position of the king. I also understand that this grassland will be quiet for a while, and this wishful thinking of yours is really fine. "But he could gamble with his life and Weiyang's lifeβhe couldn't understand that the emperor watched him being hunted down, and this behavior made him wonder if he was his own son.
The emperor still said quietly: "If you really die because of this little thing, it can only be because you have no ability, and you can't blame others." β
Yuan Lie grinned and suddenly made the sky full of stars and moons lose their brilliance, but his tone was extremely mocking: "Yes, life and death are my own business, and I will never blame Your Majesty." β
The emperor looked at him, but looked up to the sky and laughed: "What? Are you angry? β
Yuan Lie lowered his head and said with a cold gaze: "No, I don't." β
The emperor spoke: "I know, you are not because I am using you as bait, you are reluctant to die with you." When he spoke of the girl, there was a cold light in his eyes.
Yuan Lie suddenly raised his head and said coldly: "She is not a girl, she is my beloved, her name is Li Weiyang, no, maybe you prefer to call her Guo Jia." β
The Emperor sneered, "Beloved? His smile contained three points of ridicule and one point of coldness. What is Beloved? How old are you, and what do you know? What do you talk about beloved? It's ridiculous. β
When he said this, there was undisguised contempt in his tone. Yuan Lie looked at him, there was no fluctuation in his eyes, in his opinion, it didn't matter whether the emperor was related to him or not, and they didn't have much affection for each other, he thought that at least for his mother's sake, the emperor would take care of him a little, but now it seems that he was completely wrong, maybe the other party's favor is just a disguise, maybe there is no one in this world who can enter his eyes, but Yuan Lie doesn't care, what he cares about is just Li Weiyang alone, and what he is unhappy about today is only the emperor pushing Weiyang into danger.
Seeing Yuan Lie's cold eyes, the emperor's fingers clasped the bookcase, "Tuk Tuk Tuk", a dull and continuous sound came from the bookcase, which made people very upset, but there was a faint threat. He spoke: "That night, you were obviously capable of killing the Maharaja's men and horses, why did you just flee in the wilderness? β
Yuan Lie was taken aback, he didn't expect that his every move fell into the eyes of the other party, his gaze gradually became cold, staring at his prey like an eagle, that look was definitely not the son looking at his father, but a little looking at the opponent and the enemy.
The Emperor laughed and said, "You don't have to be nervous, if I wanted to eradicate your power, I wouldn't have handed over some of my people to you in the first place, I just want to know why." β
Yuan Lie didn't say anything, he didn't even want to answer the other party's meaning, the emperor smiled coldly: "I know if you don't say it, you are so careful, hum." He snorted suddenly, "It's just that I want to create an opportunity to be alone with that girl, maybe I want to yin the Guo family, and force them to admit the marriage. β
Yuan Lie smiled faintly: "Those who achieve great things should be informal, in order to achieve the goal, naturally they have to make some sacrifices, and I don't care about any reputation, I did plan to do so, but then I ......" Halfway through his words, the emperor continued for him, "But later, your sweetheart disagreed, and you were afraid that she would be angry, so you temporarily changed your attention, it's really useless!" β
Yuan Lie didn't speak, he felt that the emperor couldn't understand what he meant, in order to make Li Weiyang happy, he could do anything, why didn't he wait for a while? Of course, it is useless to explain this to the emperor, in the other party's dictionary, there will always be only four words of forcible seizure, and they do not know the meaning of the word cherish.
The emperor straightened his face: "That woman has already instigated the Mahwang to do something to you, if I hadn't secretly arranged it, do you think you would have escaped from their encirclement so easily?" This is the first time, and it will never be the last, if you can't give them color, if you don't use thunder to kill all the people who want to kill you, one by one, then you won't be able to gain a foothold in Dadu in the future, let alone continue to live in this cannibalistic world! β
Yuan Lie's eyes were cold, and his expression was cold: "That's my own business, it has nothing to do with anyone, you don't have to worry about it." β
Emperor Yuexi sneered: "You are my son, if there is no me, there will be no you at all." β
Yuan Lie suddenly sneered, and he spoke: "Yes, if it weren't for you, there wouldn't be me at all, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been in a foreign country and become someone else's outcast. β
The emperor's face changed, and at this moment his playful expression disappeared, and he slowly became very strict, and his tone was also cold: "I know, you still have a grudge against your mother, you have to remember that my past with her has nothing to do with you, and I don't want to hear a word about the past in your mouth." At this moment, he was cold like a real emperor in front of Yuan Lie, without the slightest emotion that a human should have.
And Yuan Yeol looked at him straight, meeting his gaze, confronting, insisting, and not even flinching in the slightest. The emperor looked at the outline of him that was three points similar to the person in his memory, and only felt that just looking at it could bring out the pain in his heart that was as long as Ling Chi was broken, so he didn't speak for a long time. Eventually, he laughed, but only showed a very shallow smile, "Perhaps, your weakness is that little girl, what if she dies?" β
Yuan Lie's gaze suddenly became extremely terrifying, he looked at his father, his indifferent face was like ice and snow deposited for thousands of years, and he said word by word: "Li Weiyang is the most important person in my heart, more than my mother, and more than your father." β
"What did you say?" The emperor suddenly became angry, what he saw in Yuan Lie's eyes was a rebellion against his power, and for so many years, no one had done this, even the arrogant and domineering Empress Pei was still groveling in front of him, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and he didn't expect that this kid who had just grown up would talk to himself like this!
Yuan Yeol didn't care about his warning and continued: "When I was young, if it weren't for her, I would have been drowned alive in the water by two grandmothers. When my adoptive mother had just died, if she hadn't done everything she could to protect me, I would have died in those assassinations, and I would never have had the opportunity to return to Yuexi alive, and I wouldn't have faced my origins. I hate a qiΔ person, including you, only she is what I really care about, if she is gone, I have no meaning to save zΓ i! β
It's the same stubbornness as that man! The emperor's left fingernail almost pierced a hole in the palm of his sleeve, and his natural ruthless temperament suddenly attacked, and with a bang, the entire bookcase was overturned, "What do you mean that there is no meaning in saving zΓ i!?" Do you know what you're talking about!? β
Yuan Lie laughed and continued: "In your eyes, she is just an ordinary girl, without the slightest touch, and it is not worth wasting her eyes. However, in my eyes, no matter how bad the environment is, she can still live with difficulty, protect everyone around her, and achieve her goals step by step. She changed my destiny and tied me to her, I just want to say, I don't care about your throne, I don't care about your care, I only care about her, if anyone dares to hurt her, they are my enemies! Even to the ends of the earth, I won't let him go! β
The emperor was in a trance, he looked at his son, and the look and firmness in the other party's eyes were strangely real: "Do you really like this girl so much?" β
Yuan Yeol showed a proud and determined smile, "Yes, I like her, and I want to marry her, no one in this world can stand in front of me." β
The emperor finally sighed, he seemed to see the shadow of himself in Yuan Lie, the same stubborn, insane, and stupid as when he was young. He thought for a moment, and his tone softened, "If you really like her, I can give you a marriage." β
Yuan Lie sneered and said, "This has nothing to do with you, I said you don't have to worry about it." With that, he turned and strode out of the tent.
The emperor stopped him, and Yuan Lie turned his head to look at him and said, "What else does the emperor command?" β
The emperor looked at him and suddenly showed a hint of amusement: "I heard that Yuan Ying's child also likes her, do you have confidence?" β
Yuan Yeol smiled slightly, but did not answer, turned around and opened the tent and walked out.
The emperor sighed into the sea, and a person walked in outside the tent, but it was Zhang Gonggong, the closest attendant to the emperor.
Father-in-law Zhang was watching Yuan Lie go away from the tent just now, so he dared to come in and serve, he came up to hold the bookcase, patted the music into dust, and folded it again. But he heard the emperor say faintly, "Who do you say, who does this child look like?" β
Zhang Gonggong thought to himself, like whom? It's not like you, but he didn't dare to say this, he replied with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Xu is a smart person, he knows what His Majesty means." β
The emperor shook his head and said: "The wolves are around, it depends on how he breaks through, if he can't do it, he won't be able to sit in this position in the future." β
When Gonggong Zhang heard this, he was shocked, and he suddenly realized what the emperor was talking about. The emperor glanced at him, there seemed to be murderous intent in his eyes, Zhang Gonggong lowered his head and replied vaguely: "Your Majesty don't worry, Your Highness knows what you are doing, and he will definitely not live up to Your Majesty's hopes." β
Emperor Yuexi smiled coldly, and quickly withdrew his eyes, the huge pressure had already caused a layer of delicate beads of sweat on Gonggong Zhang's back. The Emperor looked away, and the pressure disappeared abruptly. Gonggong Zhang breathed a sigh of relief: Your Majesty, only God knows what you think.
