The sunset covers the city of Tokyo, and night is approaching. The vicinity of the Founding Mansion was crowded with people, and there were constantly all kinds of people coming, and more people from near and far gathered around to watch the excitement and listen to the rumors.

In the commotion, a half-aged woman in the crowd muttered: "This Li family has been retributed!" ”

A young robed scholar nearby was surprised when he heard this, and looked sideways slightly.

The woman spat again: "The people of the Li family used to be delicate and beautiful, and when they went out, they were pompous, tsk!" Now that the pillars of the family have fallen, look at how proud they are. I must have done something unreasonable, and I was unlucky. ”

The scholar sighed when he heard this, then shook his head with a wry smile, squeezed to the woman's side, hugged his arms to his chest and said casually: "I can't see it, I guess you will have to bend down and look up at the Li family's pomp and circumstance in the future." ”

The woman said: "Didn't you say that the Li family died after offending the emperor?" ”

The scholar was stunned when he heard this, and then said helplessly: "Why does the emperor want to kill people like this? What about you, it doesn't matter if you are illiterate or unknowledgeable, but Lu Mou advises you, if you want to see people laugh and poke people's backbones, you have to look at your identity, otherwise why bother to suffer in vain? ”

The woman said angrily, "Let's wait and see! I heard that the Li family moved from the poor countryside, and it was just a broken settlement before, so what's the big deal. ”

At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and saw a large group of cavalry swaggering over, the iron armor shining with metallic luster, and the red tassels on the helmet fluttered, like flowing clouds on the horizon.

"Idle people, etc., should be avoided!" A young military general raised his sword scabbard, his face furious, and he roared with full anger.

The scholar took a look at it, turned back to the woman just now, and said, "This is called pomp, the emperor has come to Li's house in person." ”

…… Two troikas stopped in front of the Founding Mansion, and they were immediately surrounded by people, including court ministers, janissary guards, and a large number of palace people, Jing Niang was wearing a lapel robe, looking around vigilantly.

The two cloth-clothed palace maids with their hair in a bun bowed forward, helped Guo Shao, who was wearing a purple robe and black yarn, to get off the carriage, put on a chair covered by a yellow cover, and four strong eunuchs came over.

In the carriage behind, Li Guifei, who was red-eyed and pale, was also supported by the palace maid. A crowd of people: "Your Majesty has a long life." "Your Majesty is just sick, you should recuperate more."

Guo Shao was poisoned, and he couldn't hide it, because a large group of imperial doctors and ministers knew about it, but they openly said that he was sick.

He sat listlessly in his chair, his slightly blank eyes not looking at anyone, but slowly raised his hand and made a random gesture without saying anything.

As soon as the sedan chair walked up the steps of the tall Zhu Gate, the gate was open, and a group of Li family members dressed in white knelt in the door and bowed. Concubine Li staggered up, knelt on the ground, hugged a woman and cried.

Guo Shao's eyes suddenly moved, he swept over the crowd, pointed to a descendant who was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and said, "Boy, come to me." ”

Hou Sheng got up from the ground, walked to Guo Shao's chair, wiped a handful of tears and looked up at Guo Shao.

What Guo Shao has seen in this later life is Li Jilong, the eldest son of Li Chuyun, who is not tall but very stocky, and has dark skin on his face. Guo Shao didn't have much spirit to talk nonsense with him, and said: "Ling Zun is a hero of the imperial court, and he has made great contributions to the creation of the foundation of the empire, don't lose your father's face, after the funeral, I will follow the uncles in the forbidden army to go out to experience and experience." ”

Li Jilong clenched his fists and bowed in style: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Guo Shao said quietly: "You will be the youngest prince of this dynasty." ”

The emperor's gentle words immediately made everyone around look sideways, and even the woman who was hugging her head and crying raised her head. Emperor Chrysostom said, this sentence is incredible, Li Jilong has already ascended to the throne of the prince!

The dark clouds that shrouded the Li Mansion seemed to dissipate in an instant.

When the Son of Heaven was still ill, he asked someone to carry him to the Li family, and the first sentence he said was to recognize the honor of Li Chuyun's life, and the second sentence was to let his eldest son have a hereditary title...... It seems that the favor of a courtier could hardly be more magnificent.

But those who have insight no longer believe that Li Chuyun was secretly poisoned by the emperor. Take 10,000 steps back, even if the emperor kills Li Chuyun, treating the Li family like this is not a bad treatment at all!

Guo Shao's body is still very weak, but he is still neat, and it can be said that he has lifted his suspicion with the Li family in two sentences.

After he finished speaking, he didn't talk to Li Jilong again, the most important thing for him in this posterity is only because the posterity is Li Chuyun's son.

People gathered around Guo Shao's chair and entered the house. Guo Shao stretched out his hand and made a gesture upward. Cao Tai, the eunuch next to him, immediately said: "The official family has let you be exempted." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Guo Shao was carried to the door of the study where the incident occurred. The two bodies were still in place, but they were covered with cloth. Guo Shao held on to the armrest of the chair and slowly stood up.

Cao Tai immediately stepped forward, bent down and lifted a piece of white cloth, revealing Li Chuyun's wide-eyed face!

When Guo Shao saw the familiar beard and miserable situation, his heart immediately soured. He remembered the tacit understanding of fighting side by side with Li Chuyun back then, and now the godless eyes on the dead corpse made Guo Shao have to think of the battles and struggles that were full of passion and determination in the past!

Regardless of whether there was unhappiness later, memories are memories, and it is difficult to erase them in Guo Shao's heart.

Time is so helpless, constantly gathering joys and sorrows, and turning around is already a matter of fact. Some people only have one last look left, and some people can still see it, but it is no longer the friendship of the past...... For example, Luo Yanhuan, who is also present now, and even Zuo You.

Guo Shao is so cautious, deep in his heart, he cherishes those passionate memories and oaths, and he doesn't want to touch them at will and pay too much for power......

Maybe one day, will you really become a loner? Maybe one day, there will only be distant memories left?

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty ......" the attendant hurriedly supported him, and the crowd suddenly panicked and nervous.

Guo Shao clenched his hands into fists. He suddenly and rudely lifted one of the attendants and slapped his palm on the table next to him with a "bang". A sick person suddenly slapped so hard that the people in the courtyard were so shocked that they suddenly became silent.

He turned around, his eyes were filled with tears, and he gritted his teeth and said murderously: "With the privy envoy Wang Pu superintendent, the cabinet assistant Huang Binglian, the internal service province Yang Shiliang, and the officials of the Criminal Law Department, we must find out the main messenger behind the scenes!" It doesn't matter who it is, even if it is the king of heaven, I will break it into thousands of pieces! ”

The tears of the Son of Heaven are really rare. The Emperor's wrath was terrifying, and every word represented countless bloodshed and death!

Wang Pu said loudly: "Wait, obey the order!" ”

Guo Shao hid his face and went out, and a group of people helped him to the chair, and quickly left the Li Mansion with a hug.

…… Cao Tai Xianluan slipped back to the imperial city, met Fu Jinzhan and reported what happened from beginning to end.

After hearing this, Jin Zhen pursed her lips and said, "The last words of the official family were said for me and for Concubine Li Guifei. ”

Cao Tai listened to it and groaned: "What the eldest lady said is extremely true, few people in the court believe that the death of the founding prince was instructed by His Majesty, and I am afraid that Concubine Li Guifei will not believe it at all...... But the suspicion of the eldest lady ......"

Marigold nodded slightly: "The official family is so sad and angry, it is difficult for people to believe that this matter was done by me." It's hard for me to hide such a big thing from him, and it's even harder for the officials to cover up such a thing so easily. ”

At least, it can greatly reduce suspicion.

After a while, someone went to the Jinxiang Hall to report that the official family had returned to the Hall of Grace.

Fu Jinzhan left the Jinxiang Hall and went to see Guo Shao.

Guo Shao was listlessly half-lying in the wooden basin, and his bald head got the steaming thing again. Since it seemed to work, he still insisted on using that method to detoxify the poison.

Fu Jinzhan bowed slightly: "Your Majesty ......"

Guo Shao opened his eyes, waved his hand to retreat the maid, sighed, and after a while he asked, "Luo Yanhuan sent a letter to the front line; When he met Zuo You, did he go to Zuo You twice? ”

Fu Jinzhan said slowly: "Exactly." ”

Guo Shaodao: "Zuo You may not really be willing to conspire with them, he and Luo Yanhuan already have a good relationship, Luo wants to find him, he may not have that heart." ”

Marigold said: "Your Majesty is reasonable, you always think about the good of others. Anyway, until now, it is difficult to find out whether Zuo Fuzheng is willing or not. ”

Guo Shao said again: "Luo Yanhuan tossed those things, he must have thought that Marigold and I would not know...... Now there are not many people who know about the existence of the inner factory.

Now that the matter has passed, I don't think I should mention it again, let them ponder that I don't know, and I am confused about the past. ”

Fu Jinzhan picked up a towel to wipe Guo Shao's face, and said softly: "I listen to Your Majesty." ”

Guo Shao heard this soft voice, opened his eyes and looked at the marigold, only to feel that he hadn't been close to her for a long time, and now he looked more gentle. Helplessly, he seemed to be affected by the marigold, and his mood was much softer, and he muttered: "It is not shameful for people to think about themselves. Sometimes they are not faithful, but fortunately they don't do too much. ”

The point is that it is not time to expand the infighting.

…… The room was steaming and foggy. Guo Shao was groggy, and in a trance, he seemed to have returned to Wufu Town, Hedong, which was full of loess and dilapidated houses, and the passionate fighting spirit and roar of a group of people who had almost nothing but blood. Zuo You was also younger at that time, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered four slashes, but the down-and-out petty official called Guo Shao to think that he was talented.

The sound of hurried footsteps, the melodious sound of bows and arrows, and the feeling of rushing with blood, having no choice but to go out without hesitation, seemed to have just passed.

All kinds of mixed things, Guo Shao fell into it and couldn't extricate himself.

After a long time, his mind finally returned to reality, a chaotic struggle for power, and he suddenly felt very tired, and wanted to be quiet for a while.

But he can't back down, the mess in front of him should be cleaned up no matter what, he is the only one who can do it well.
