Chapter 110: Hongmen Banquet (End)
"Your Majesty has arrived, and King Rong will take over!"
Hawken's color changed suddenly, and Xiao Shisanlang returned his sword with a fluttering movement, and his movements were smooth and in one go, that is, he returned to Zhang Jian behind him.
Huo Qing stomped his foot hatefully, glanced at Xiao Shisanlang with some fear, and walked back to his seat in embarrassment. He had no doubt that if the stalemate continued, the cold sword would be pierced into his throat without mercy.
Li Wan was taken aback, not Li Wan, everyone present suddenly heard the news that the emperor was coming, and they couldn't help but be shocked. Li Wan made it clear that he wanted to make a move, and these people naturally had ghosts in their hearts when they followed Li Wan, and the one they were most afraid of seeing at this moment was the emperor.
Li Heng was also very surprised, and subconsciously turned his head to look.
I saw the emperor striding in with a gloomy face, followed only by a Gao Lishi.
Li Heng took the lead in bowing down, "Son-in-law Li Heng greets his father!" ”
Zhang Xuan smiled indifferently, and also bowed to the ground behind Li Heng, "Minister Zhang is good at meeting the emperor!" ”
Li Wan wandered slightly, and then got up and shouted loudly, "Erchen Rongwang Li Wan, meet my father, long live my emperor!" ”
King Sheng Li Qi and Princess Xianyi fell to the ground in a slight panic, and the mountain shouted long live.
An Lushan, An Sishun, Gao Xianzhi, and Pei Dunfu also bowed down silently, and a cadre of people knelt down in a large area.
The corners of Li Longji's mouth flickered, and his cold and sharp gaze swept over Li Heng, Li Wan and others in turn, and finally landed on An Lushan's body, and said indifferently, "Let's all be flat—I heard that King Rong feasted the courtiers today, so I came over to take a look." ”
Li Heng slowly got up and stepped to the side. It was then that he slowly calmed down. As soon as the emperor came, he felt that his safety was guaranteed, and the uneasiness and anxiety that had just been floating up and down his body gradually dissipated.
Li Wan also got up and said with a smile, "Welcome to my father's throne." ”
Li Longji stared at Li Wan deeply, his eyes projected a trace of extremely vague anger, and he was silent for a moment, but he waved his hand and said lightly, "Just sit down...... "You have something to say to the prince and King Rong, so let's wait and retreat first." ”
"Zhang Xuaner stayed."
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was about to retreat with everyone, Li Longji suddenly said loudly.
"Yes, I obey."
"The ministers are retiring, long live my emperor, long live!" The crowd fell to their knees again.
Li Longji slowly turned around, stared at the backs of the princes, princesses and ministers who were gradually retreating, and said, "King Rong's banquet, most of the courtiers have arrived, which is almost equivalent to a court meeting, which shows the high prestige of King Rong." Prince, at this point, you have to learn from King Rong. Don't always be bored in the East Palace, see the membrane only promised...", if so, Lian Ruhe will hand over the Tang Jiangshan Sheji to you? ”
Li Heng's heart jumped, and he said respectfully, "Yes, the sons and daughters obey their father's holy decree." ”
"King Rong" Li Longji turned his head to look at Li Wan and smiled lightly, "Lian has disturbed your banquet, can you complain about Lian's meddling?" ”
"Erchen doesn't dare." Li Wan respectfully stepped forward and bowed.
"Don't dare? What tools do you dare not do?! Well? Li Longji's tone suddenly rose an octave, his face turned red, and he pointed at Li Wan excitedly and said, "You have formed a party for personal gain, and you have been plotting all night. ”
Li Wan's heart froze, took a step back slightly, and lowered, "Father, the emperor doesn't understand what the sons and daughters don't understand, and the sons have always been impartial and law-abiding......." ”
"That's it, shut up!" Li Longji interrupted Li Wan's words with a light reprimand, glared at Li Wan angrily and said in a deep voice, "The things you did are clear. It's just that Lian always feels that whether it is the prince or King Rong, they are all the sons of Lian, and it is not who it is handed over, it is all related to the inheritance of Li Tang Jiangshan", this is not the business of Lian alone, it is the business of everyone else! ”
"The position of the crown prince has been decided. The prince is generous, suitable for the prosperous monarch, although the enterprising is slightly insufficient, but it is enough to keep it. Li Longji glanced at Li Heng.
Li Heng cried to the ground gratefully, "The sons and daughters thank their father and the emperor Longen, and the sons are restless and embarrassed!" ”
Li Wan's heart sank, his heart instantly became angry, his face was also gloomy, he smiled coldly, took a step back, bowed down, and said nothing.
"You are brothers, close relatives, and you don't become brothers, and you do some unbearable things, shame the royal family, and laugh at the people of the Tang Dynasty." Li Longji stared at Li Wan coldly, "Lian brought the words here in advance today, and Lian doesn't care if you are unconvinced, resentful, or borrowed. ”,… But from now on, if anyone breeds trouble again, the United Nations will never be spared, and will be severely punished! ”
"Prince, you are a brother, you must show the attitude of a brother. King Rong" ,... Spring Festival couplets, can you be unconvinced? Li Longji's voice became lower and lower.
The corners of Li Wan's mouth twitched slightly, and his face was gloomy and he replied respectfully, "Go back to my father, my son doesn't dare." The sons obey their father's holy edicts≡ and the prince's brother will love each other from now on, and they will die for the Tang Dynasty! ”
Li Longji stood there silent for a moment, and suddenly waved his hand, "Okay, very good." Since you are willing to listen to the words of the union, the union is very relieved. ”
"Eliminating you and others can focus on the ancestral society...... Li Heng, go back to the palace with Lian∨ Xuan, also come along, and Lian has a few words to follow. ”
Li Longji took the lead, followed by Li Heng.
Zhang Xuan had been standing behind Li Heng silently, and suddenly heard the emperor mention his name, he couldn't help but look up at Gao Lishi, and when he saw Gao Lishi silently bowing his head to him, he hesitated for a moment and chased after him.
"Erchen respectfully sends his father back to the palace!" Li Wan bowed down angrily, but the moment he raised his head, his gaze became as fierce as a knife.
Li Wan originally had a glimmer of elimination in his heart, and felt that Li Longji would choose himself in the end. But now that he heard Li Longji's appearance, he knew that his last line of elimination had also been lost. Li Longji came out of the palace overnight to beat himself, he must have realized something, and he did not hesitate to personally come forward to help Li Heng stabilize the situation.
"Since you'd rather pass the throne to that scrap than give me a chance, then don't blame me for being ruthless and unrighteous for the ♀ emperor's position...... Liuli Wan smiled coldly, "Let's see who has the last laugh!" ”
Li Wan waved his hand, and a man in black flashed out of the shadows in the corner of the palace and bowed to Li Wan, "Lord Wang!" ”
"Li Er, are the brothers ready?" Li Wan said coldly.
"Back to the prince's words, the brothers are always ready to die for the prince!" The man in black was hoarse, extremely lower.
"Good. Go and give the king's commandment, and bring to him those who are on this list. If anyone refuses to come... "Li Er, do you know what to do?" Li Wan stared up at the starry stars in the deep night, and let out a long breath of turbid air in his chest.
"No, I understand, the prince is at ease." The man in black bowed down and disappeared into the dark night.
Zhang Xuan followed the emperor's honor guard all the way into Xingqing Palace.
The emperor did not open his mouth to let the prince follow, and Li Heng had no choice but to retreat to the East Palace halfway, while Zhang Xuan continued to follow.
When they arrived at Xingqing Palace, the car drove straight to Yang Guifei's dormitory.
Yang Yuhuan took a few palace maids to welcome the emperor and his entourage into the palace, and when he saw Zhang Xuan also following, he couldn't help but jump in his heart, and secretly threw a glance at Zhang Xuan who heard the news, and Zhang Xuan shook his head silently.
The emperor's visit to Li Wan's mansion was naturally the result of his dark push. But the emperor's expression was much more unexpected than Zhang Xuan.
After entering the main hall, the emperor sat down, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Give a banquet." ”
Yang Yuhuan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly instructed the palace maids and eunuchs to be busy setting up a banquet. When the banquet was settled, Li Longji waved his hand with a calm face.
Yang Yuhuan was secretly suspicious, but waved his hand and retreated the eunuchs, palace maids, and others. In the empty hall, only Gao Lishi, Yang Yuhuan, Li Longji and Zhang Jian were left, and the atmosphere was very depressing and dull.
Li Longji was still silent. He picked up the crystal clear jade wine cup and drank it all. Then he slowly looked up at Zhang Xuan, and said lightly, "Zhang Xuan, do you know why Lian will be brought back to the palace?" ”
"I don't know, please give me advice." Zhang Xuan got up and bowed.
Li Longji slowly leaned back, leaned on the brocade pier and stared at Zhang Xuan tiredly, "You are really bold. Knowing that King Rong's mansion was killing every step of the way, he even dared to ask the prince to go to this Hongmen banquet. If it weren't for the sudden arrival of Lian, would you think that you would still be able to retreat safely from King Rong's mansion? ”
As soon as Li Longji said this, except for Gao Lishi's expression, Yang Yuhuan and Zhang Xuan's faces changed suddenly.
Zhang Xuan felt a stir in his heart: Could it be that the emperor has already felt something or detected something? If that's the case, then your own plan obviously has to be adjusted again.
"San Lang, is it King Rong,." Yang Yuhuan said softly.
"King Rong will rebel, only in these three or two days." Li Longji let out a long breath, and his cloudy gaze suddenly became shiny and cold, "It's not surprising that he has the intention of forcing the palace." But he dared to be so unscrupulous, which made Lian a little surprised. ”””
"This is the bullying alliance is getting old..."Li Longji suddenly slapped the table, his face turned red, and he said sharply, "The joint tiger is a trouble, and the erector is rebellious, which really makes the joint hatred angry!" ”
"Lian received a secret report that King Rong has controlled 8,000 men and horses of Yulinwei, and has raised 3,000 thieves outside the city...", and now this imperial city is already in danger.
"The crisis came suddenly—after thinking about it again and again, there was no one available☆ The country is more than cunning, incapacitated, and unbearable. And the old ministers in the court, if they are not the party of King Rong, they are incompetent and mediocre...... Does this make Lianqing embarrassed? ”
Yang Yuhuan's face turned pale, and he covered his mouth and let out a sigh.
"It seems that Concubine Mei's chess piece doesn't seem to be needed." Zhang Xuan listened silently, his heart flashed, and from Li Longji's awe-inspiring gaze, there was an extremely strong murderous intent.
"As long as Lian lives in the world for one day, Lian is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the supreme Heavenly Khan, who dares to bully Lian?" Li Longji Huo Ran got up and looked forward to Shengwei, but the momentum of looking at the world was there, but from his gray temples and slightly rickety body, he couldn't hide his old decay and lack of qi and blood.
