Don't be so anxious about you, father? ”

Before Li Zhicong could speak, the anxious Murong Ruoxi preemptively said: "How can I not be anxious for you, this martial king and the little daughter of the imperial uncle have no contact on weekdays, and today he said in front of his father that he likes the daughter of the imperial uncle, is it rare that he has ulterior motives?" ”

Li Zhicong smiled slightly, revealing a calm expression: "Ruoxi, I know, you took into account that Brother Yang said in front of him that he wanted to marry Gao Yang Lingzhi actually wanted to strengthen his own power, so as to compete for my crown prince, but you don't have to be too afraid, today my father also said that I will not complete their marriage until I succeed to the throne, so you don't have to worry!" ”

The anxiety on Murong Ruoxi's face was not erased, "Having said that, my father has already agreed to such a marriage, and he still wants to marry Gaoyang Lingzhi." Even if you have ascended the throne at that time, but the status of the Gaoyang family in the court, even the powerful minister Li Xiao of the year has not been able to get rid of it, how can you not guard against it, His Royal Highness the Prince? ”

"If you analyze what you mean, I understand what you mean, but you also know that Prime Minister Gao Yang is my first important minister in Great Xia, even if he was in danger because his father had no power, didn't he still defect to Li Xiao? Now how could he change his original intention just because his little daughter was going to marry King Wu? Li Zhicong asked sincerely.

Murong Ruo sighed and sighed: "That's because Prime Minister Gaoyang is still there, so what if Prime Minister Gaoyang is gone" Have you forgotten that Emperor Taizu had set a system of three generations of prime ministers at the beginning of the dynasty, and our imperial uncle is the first generation! ”

Murong Ruoxi's heartfelt words made Li Zhicong unable to come back to his senses for a while: "Ruoxi, I ......" But just as he hesitated, the voice of the eunuch was already heard outside.

The two put aside their conversation for a moment and turned their gaze out the door.

After a while, the eunuch stepped into the palace door, "The Holy Lord has issued an edict to urgently summon His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess to enter the palace, and I will do this!" ”

After the ceremony, the husband and wife went to the Taiji Hall together and faced their father.

Li Jianguo smiled, looking at his son and daughter-in-law, under the warm atmosphere, Li Jianguo's weak dragon body was draped in a comfortable veil: "Cong'er, if you analyze, do you know why my father summoned the two of you alone today?" ”

The two looked at each other suspiciously for a moment, and smiled: "Do you remember what your father said to you when he summoned you and your brothers and sisters together?" Li Jianguo's voice was very weak, but he still spit out every handwriting clearly.

Li Zhicong did not have the slightest hesitation, and immediately confided his father's intentions: "My father taught his sons and daughters to make good use of virtuous ministers, honor their mothers, love their younger siblings, and love the people. ”

After Li Jianguo heard this, he was very happy in his heart: "Cong'er can remember his father's words, and his father will have no regrets even if he dies!" After saying that, he couldn't help coughing again.

"Father, father!" The two of them looked at Li Jianguo's withered face with anxiety, and were very anxious: "Father, you hold on first, and the son will go and invite Imperial Doctor Zhuang to you!" ”

"No, no!" Li Jianguo hurriedly waved the dragon hand in his hand, and then smiled: "What kind of doctor please, the imperial doctor said that my longevity was only October, and now it is the ninth month, except for coughing a few words when I speak, it's not a big deal!" After saying this, Li Jianguo looked happy and open-minded on the surface, but in his heart he laughed at his "hypocrisy", the breeze blew slowly, and Li Jianguo's eyes also fell on Murong Ruoxi with the coldness of the wind: "Ruoxi, my father knows that in the past two years since you married Cong'er, you have thought about Cong'er everywhere, and you have spent a lot of words and efforts for Cong'er's position as the crown prince. It's hard for you. ”

"Father, I ......" At this moment, her mind was invisibly burdened with shock and surprise.

"Ruo Xi doesn't need to be so amazed, King Wu's ambition is well known to his father, but Cong'er is already the crown prince set up by his father, how can Shun change someone else without your fault?"

"Father, you ......" The two were at a loss, not knowing what to say.

"Don't worry, Shun has already thought of a countermeasure!" After speaking, Li Jianguo gave a look, "Come on, draft an edict!" ”

The scene turned to King Wen's mansion, and the prince Li Anxiang was studying scriptures in the mansion, but after a while, a powerful footsteps sounded from outside the hall, but this did not break his thinking, but when Brother Yang's loud shout came into his ears, he hurriedly put down the handscroll in his hand and went out to greet him!

"Oh, Brother Yang, I haven't seen you for a few months, after you returned to Beijing after the march, you came to visit the emperor's brother, it is really a blessing for the emperor's brother!"

Li Qianyang smiled back with a smile: "Brother Shen is polite, you and I are both siblings, doesn't it make people feel out of sight when you embody such politeness?" ”

"What the royal brother said is very true, let's go into the room."

As soon as he entered the room, Li Anxiang politely made hot tea for the imperial brother and handed it to the imperial brother in person: "Come!"

"Brother doesn't have to be so polite, just make this tea brother himself!" After speaking, he smelled the fragrance and drank the tea into his mouth, and after the tea stayed on the tip of his tongue for a while, Li Qianyang sighed without a long voice: "Brother Yang is worthy of being a person who learns literature, even if he is full of tea, he is so particular, I just drank a small sip just now, and its taste makes me remember endlessly!" ”

An serene smile: "My brother has won the award, and my brother is not as good as you say!" But if you want to drink it, I'll make this tea for you every day, and if you don't have time to come, then I'll bring it to you myself! ”

Li Qianyang took a sip of tea again, and said with a long smile: "If that's the case, won't I have to trouble my brother to run errands for me?" ”

"How can this be? The royal brother sent you tea, in fact, he also came to visit you, the imperial brother! After speaking, he also drank the hot rub in his cup and enjoyed the taste of friendship between brothers, but after the tea was finished, King Wu's face changed a little: "Brother Detail, Brother Huang has a few words that I want to talk to you alone, can you?" ”

An serene understood what the imperial brother meant, so he gestured to all the people in the house to exit the room and close the door!

"Brother Yang wants to say whatever he wants to say boldly, as long as Brother Shen can do it, I will do my best."

Seeing that An Xiang was so calm, Qianyang didn't have a trace of the heart to beat around the bush: "Brother Shen, Brother Yang asks you and me who is better or our Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

For a while, Li Qianyang was still "confused" in his head, "Brother Huang, what are these words, you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have their own strengths, this is really difficult to compare!" With that, he smiled and showed an embarrassed look.

"Then who do you think I or us are more suitable to be the future son of Daxia!"

Qianyang's confession made Li Anxiang shock his body: "Brother Yang, what do you mean by this?" ”

As soon as he saw An Serene pretending to be puzzled, Li Qianyang sneered: "Brother Shen, don't pretend to be stupid, can you bear this little Wenchen, the son of the same father?" ”

"I ......" Li Anxiang hesitated like never before, because a wave of uneasiness had already poured into his heart along with the words of the imperial brother.

And the words have been spoken, and Li Qianyang naturally doesn't have to hide the words in the future: "Now that my father is seriously ill, as long as you are willing for me to join forces with me, why can't you let my father change his position as a prince?" ”

At this moment, Li Anxiang's face changed greatly: "Brother Yang, what are you talking about, you want to usurp the crown prince's position." Li Qianyang sneered and shook his head: "Peaceful! Your brother Yang and I are both the sons of my father, why can't I compete for the crown prince? Am I born to be inferior to him? ”

Li Qianyang's rhetorical question made An An's uneasy heart even heavier: "Brother Huang, could it be that your father and the emperor lost countless innocent lives because of the struggle for power with the emperor's uncle?" Now that my father has finally calmed down the situation, how can you let such a bad thing happen again because of a momentary desire? Instead of listening to the serene exhortation, Qianyang hung up a more indifferent look: "Since ancient times, the position of the Son of Heaven has been inhabited by the capable, since I have the strength to assume the position of the crown prince, what is the value of this king's ruthlessness!"

"Brother Yang, can't you really turn back?" Li Anxiang complained bitterly.

"When I sit on the throne, with the relationship between you and me, you will be the greatest king!" After confessing, he got up domineeringly, leaving a sentence, "Do you choose to pretend to be neutral but follow the prince, or join forces with me to help me take the crown prince, you have to think clearly!" Then he turned and departed.

Looking at Brother Yang's back, Li Anxiang didn't say anything, he just took a long break, then picked up Fang Cai's scroll and continued to study the scriptures.

As soon as Li Qianyang returned to the mansion, he saw Prime Minister Gao Yang waiting outside the mansion, so he hurriedly hung up his respectful look, and apologized: "Uncle Huang, Yang'er really didn't know that you were coming to visit Yang'er today, so I made you wait for a long time, sorry!" I'm sorry! ”

"His Royal Highness King Wu, where are you talking about this? The prime minister is uninvited today, it is the prime minister who has caused you trouble, and if you want to apologize, it is the prime minister who apologizes to you! Yang Duan replied.

"Okay, Uncle Huang's extra words, don't say more. Let's go into the house! Behind Li Qianyang's humility, he was thinking about all kinds of unknown plans in his heart.

Gao Yang made a gesture and a smile to make Qianyang stop: "Thank you King Wu, but you don't have to enter the mansion, I actually came today just because I wanted to arrange for my little girl to meet in Xuanhua Forest tomorrow and asked if you are free!" ”

At this moment, Li Qianyang didn't know how stupid he was laughing in his heart, but in front of Prime Minister Gao Yang, his face was still the same as Fang Cai: "Uncle Huang can personally arrange this matter, how can I, as your future son-in-law, refuse it?" ”

As soon as the words fell, not far away, the voice of the eunuch in the palace came with the wind: "The holy decree has arrived!" ”
