"I underestimated this prince of the East Palace, Lord Cao, think about it, I invited him to my house to eat mutton so many times, but he didn't come, but he told me when he sent the splendid package out of the palace that he would come to the banquet the day after tomorrow. Don't you think it's a lot of fun? ”

"What do you mean?" Lao Cao was taken aback, "Didn't he want to take the opportunity to kill the two of us?" ”

"Very likely." Ye Zhiqiu nodded, and added: "Oh, and Cao Gongzi." ”

Lao Cao's heart was in chaos with a "bang".

"Why! My old Cao family is simply ...... to him"

Ye Zhiqiu hurriedly blocked his face with his sleeve and signaled him not to make a loud noise.

"What's the reason for this? Does Grandpa Li deserve to die? Pity has served the saint all his life......"

"But my old Cao family has no grievances with him."

"You're in the way, this is a vendetta ."

"But this, I, he ......" Lao Cao was choked and speechless.

He suddenly thought of something, and he didn't know where he got the courage, so he gritted his teeth and said, "But now it's me who holds the Dragon Scale Army in my hand!" Even if he wanted to kill me, would he dare? ”

"I don't know about this, after all, it's easy to dodge open guns and hard to defend against dark arrows. Of course, he knows that you have 20,000 dragon scale troops in your hands, and he shouldn't do anything hard. ”

"And what is he going to do?"

Ye Zhiqiu made a gesture that he couldn't know, but didn't speak.

Lao Cao was helpless, and said in a good voice: "Lord Ye, I know you are resourceful, this is all at this juncture, do you still have any ideas hidden in your stomach?" We will be in-laws of our children in the future, so if you have anything to say, just say it. ”

"Alas, Lord Cao. Although I have some experience, I can't anticipate the enemy in everything. I really can't say anything about the current situation. Since it seems that the day after tomorrow is a good feast, then we must at least seek self-protection first. ”

"Yes, yes, self-preservation, self-protection first! How is the insurance law? ”

"I just thought about it, otherwise, that night you first sent five thousand dragons to scatter in the city in the name of patrolling the city, and try to avoid the main road from the west of the city to the east of my house, and hide on the north and south sides. When the prince's car drove to Shangshu Mansion, he ordered people to divide the 5,000 people into three batches and protect them layer by layer. For example, 500 people are surrounded by the inner circle, and they are protected outside my Shangshu Mansion; 1,500 people are in the middle of the enclosure, protecting the 12 squares around Yanbo Street; The remaining 3,000 men protected the entire southeast corner of the imperial capital. In this way, we can move forward and backward, so that the camera can do it. ”

When Lao Cao heard this, he nodded violently and said: "This plan is very good, if he drinks wine and eats meat honestly, I will treat it as if nothing has happened." If he dares to move the mind of killing people and killing people, then my old Cao can't sit still! Deal...... I escaped through the East Gate! ”

Lao Cao wanted to say that it was a big deal that the fish died and the net was broken, but after all, he was still reluctant to die, thinking that with his martial arts, he could still escape.

"That's very good, let's salute before we fight. If he is benevolent and righteous, we can't tear our faces with him, how about it? ”

Lao Cao slapped his thigh, nodded vigorously and said, "That's it!" ”

Yunyang Palace.

Since Emperor Wen ordered the renovation, the mighty project has finally come to an end. The old color mottled lacquer surface, the old and damaged palace walls, together with the pavilions, zhulan, dry springs, and ruined grass, have been cleaned and repaired, and the palace looks completely new.

The crown prince Li Chongyan stood on the high terrace and looked at the palace gate in the distance, and his heart was fifteen

The bucket of water is up and down, so I don't have to worry about it.

He secretly thought, yesterday he personally cut two little eunuchs, and after returning to the palace, his hands were still trembling for a while, and he went to find that Cao Xiwen to drink, and he was finally a little more comfortable, but he didn't expect that kid to refuse to help him except for Gonggong Li.

Obviously a person who practices martial arts, how can he be like those sour and rotten Confucian students, and he told me a bunch of broken truths! But fortunately, he was still soft-hearted, so he asked his father to help.

But how did this Ye Zhiqiu get involved?

Li Chongyan frowned unconsciously.

This Ye Zhiqiu always has an unpredictable feeling. I feel a little uncomfortable when I walk the ritual hall, but every time I drink, I am very funny.

Yes, it must be that Lao Cao knew that his mind was confused and had no idea, and his son couldn't think of what to do when he asked him for help, so he went to Ye Zhiqiu again.

Anyway, Ye Zhiqiu is a safe one after all. From the point of view, this errand was indeed done very quickly.

Li Chongyan sneered.

Asking me to plant something in the palace on Gonggong Li's head, not only found out my idea, but also obtained physical evidence, Ye Zhiqiu's brain is really good. No wonder I brought back a princess when I went to Bihai, and sure enough, there were some means.

It's just a character like Gonggong Li, will he honestly die for me?

It's really hard to say, I've served by my father's side for so long, and I have to give up three points when I see him, can Ye Zhiqiu's strategy work?

Li Chongyan stared closely at the gate of the palace, but after watching it for a long time, there was still no movement, not even a little eunuch passing by.

The sky became more and more overcast, and although Li Chongyan was wearing a warm coat, he still couldn't hold it back, and turned around to go back to the palace.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps sounded at the palace gate. When he looked back, it was a small eunuch who hurried to the palace, and there was a soldier in the color of a dragon-scale military uniform behind him.

He didn't care about the snow outside, so he personally went down the stairs to greet him.

When Li Chongyan saw the soldier, he couldn't help but speak, only glanced at the little eunuch, and motioned to take the soldier to the study ------ Molan Pavilion by the side hall.

It wasn't until Li Chongyan carefully sent all the palace people away and closed the door of Molan Pavilion that he asked, "How are things going?" ”

The soldier took out a letter hidden close to his chest and took it.

"Lord Cao said that thanks to His Royal Highness, everything is going well. Master Ye left a letter here. ”

When Li Chongyan heard that everything was going well, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and took the letter and couldn't wait to look at it, only to see that there were thirty-two words written on the letter, and the neat handwriting was Ye Zhiqiu's own handwriting that he had seen in the Ministry of Rites on weekdays.

"Sinners commit themselves and kill themselves by taking poison.

The snow passed without a trace, and everything was business as usual.

The bag is not used, and the original is offered.

Drink the day after tomorrow and explain it in detail. ”

Li Chongyan was overjoyed, this Ye Zhiqiu didn't know how to make Gonggong Li take poison by himself. Originally, I thought that Gonggong Li would definitely struggle to the death, and he would inevitably make the house splash eight feet of blood, but now it's good, it's over quietly on the ground. And didn't even use the tips?

He hurriedly asked, "Where's the bag?" ”

The soldier immediately untied it from his waist and handed it over.

Li Chongyan opened it and took a look, and sure enough, there was a lot of dazzling light in the bag. On top is the thousand-year-old ambergris.

"Not bad,

Not bad! Li Chongyan praised again and again, and put away the bag.

My father taught me that there are some things that I have to hesitate to make decisions on the spot, and whoever stands in my way must die.

Hehe, I really got a little bit of my father's essence.

This Ye Zhiqiu, who only served as a secretary of the Ministry of Rites, seems to be still a talent. I will succeed the unification in the future, and I will make him a great master, and I will definitely save a lot of heart.

Didn't my father just lose all the government to the third master of Mu Yun at the beginning, and he lived a free life every day, like a fairy.

The more Li Chongyan thought about it, the more proud he became, thinking about how to enjoy himself after ascending the throne in the future, and he had long forgotten that he scolded the Muyun clan for his dictatorship in front of Emperor Wen in the Evergreen Palace.

Now that the big thing has been decided, Cao Xiwen's stinky temper will be written off. Speaking of which, this time it was he who moved with his father, and this was the only way to solve Cao's father-in-law cleanly. What a meritorious man.

As......

Li Chongyan was in a good mood, and suddenly felt that he simply told Cao Xiwen that he was the crown prince of the dynasty, so that he could reward him with dignity.

Such as...... Reward him with a house?

That's right! Wonderful! Why didn't I think of it before, rewarding him with a mansion, rewarding him near the palace, and looking for him to drink when he has nothing to do in the future, and saving him from avoiding his father and even having to hide and hide his talk.

The more Li Chongyan thought about it, the happier he became, completely forgetting that the soldier who reported the news was still there like a candle.

"Go ahead, go back and tell him the two of you, and I'll go over the evening the day after tomorrow."

Watching the soldiers hurriedly go out, Li Chongyan checked the bag in his hand.

In fact, these things are nothing even if they are rewarded, and they know each other, so they dare not leave without permission.

He walked out of the Molan Pavilion and walked towards the Zhaohua Hall of the crown princess.

Such a big piece of good news, although I can only hold it in my heart, at least I can be as calm as ever.

No one knows my secrets, as long as I don't tell them, everything is the same.

Along the way, the palace maids and eunuchs avoided Li Chongyan when they saw him. They had all heard about the two little eunuchs in the treasury who were chopped into pieces yesterday, and there was no one to be afraid of.

When I arrived at the Zhaohua Palace, someone had already reported that I had entered the hall.

It happened that today's crown princess Zhu Zhijie did not lie in the apse, but sat in front of the window and watched the snow fall in the sky.

"Why do you sit here? What's there to see in this heaven? ”

Li Chongyan entered the hall and felt a little strange when he saw Zhu Zhijie staring out the window non-stop.

"It's the first time I've seen such a big snow!" Zhu Zhijie was obviously excited.

"Is it big?" Li Chongyan glanced at it, "It's not too big." ”

"When I was in the country of Bihai, even snow was rare, and in winter, it was often covered with a layer of frost, even if it was a scene, where was there any real goose feather snow."

"No wonder you have so few poems about Yongxue in the blue sea country, because you can't get more." Li Chongyan said with a smile.

"I remember when I was eight years old, there was a particularly heavy snow in Bihai Country, and finally the pool outside the hall was frozen. We hid ourselves on the tower of the Yongjin Gate, and when we saw someone beating the tower, we secretly threw the snow balls down on the man's head......
