Chapter 627: The Dawn Before Dawn

Sun was born and celebrated all over the world, but it does not mean that some people's situation will be affected, as the main culprit of the great rebellion, Li Zhen, the king of Yue, is getting more and more sad day by day in the prison. Empress Wu is a person who will repay him, and Li Xian is not a good master, he has long known this, so he is ready to see death as home, especially when the vicious jailer moves him into a dark cell, he is even ready for a glass of poisoned wine.

However, apart from the deprivation of the prince and the demotion of his children and grandchildren to commoners, the holy decree did not mention any specific punishment for him, and there was no such thing as exile and claustrophobia.

After that, no one paid any attention to him. Except for the three rough meals a day, they were all brought in from under the bars, and there was no one in the room, let alone a word. After three days of hard work, Li Zhen finally forgot that he was not afraid of leaving Qingshan without firewood, and thought that he would not be able to die if he didn't die at this time, so he began to grit his teeth and go on a hunger strike.

So, on the day when Emperor Li attended the banquet of Lin Dedian again, the former king of Tang Yue passed away by starving to death on a hunger strike. And the news of his death took another three days to reach Tianting. For such a brother who tried to seize his throne, Li Zhi once again showed a certain degree of tolerance, after all, he, the emperor, has always advertised that he will rule the world with filial piety, and even if a person dies, he ordered a burial with a national ceremony, and the relatives and friends of the prospective children and grandchildren were sacrificed.

Li Zhen didn't have many relatives and friends in Chang'an City, and now he has established a rebel criminal. Even if this funeral is not simple, not many people dare to come to the door to pay respects. Therefore, under the white banner fluttering in silver, there were only some concubines in his original land, and even his son was thousands of miles away and did not have time to come—it was because of their ambitious father that they lost their prince, and how to live in the future was still a problem.

On the second day of the opening of the mourning hall, a carriage stopped in front of the gate of Yue Wangdi. There were only two doors on the deserted door, and when they saw the people coming down from the carriage, they thought there was something wrong with their eyes. The emaciated and haggard man with a sad face turned out to be ...... It turned out to be King Ji Li Shen!

To know. This Ji Wang Li Shen can be said to be the most miserable one by his master, not only almost suffered a lawsuit, but also fined him for two years and was reprimanded, almost even degraded the prince. Under this inexplicable implication, this master can still come to the door to hang sacrifices?

For a while, the two men were confused, and they didn't know what to say when they went up to greet them. While they were in a panic, there was a sudden sound of wheeling, and when they looked up, it was another magnificent carriage, and the people who got out of the carriage made them even more stunned. If it is said that King Ji Li Shen came to pay tribute because of a little brotherly love. So what is this guy doing on the door, is he here to demonstrate?

Li Xian looked at the few stunned faces over there, and then looked at Li Shen, the king of Ji who was dazed. I couldn't help but sigh deeply. He hated pretending to sell well the most in his life, so he refused to come today even if he was killed-presumably if Li Zhen, the king of Yue, was alive, he would definitely grit his teeth and want to bite off a piece of meat when he saw him.

However, the monarch and the ministers did not dare to resign, since the emperor Lao Tzu had given orders, he just didn't want to go, so he could only take this trip to show his father's benevolence and filial piety.

"Uncle Ten is really affectionate and righteous."

If it was someone else who heard this at this moment, it would have been either angry or angry. But the person in front of Li Xian is Li Shen, the king of Ji, and this one's performance is much calmer. I saw Li Shen sigh softly, shook his head and sighed: "I have always known the starling ambition, but I didn't expect him to use his brain in such a place, what a pity!" ”

Seeing that the two disciples were hiding far away, Li Xian didn't care about the elders and young, and gently pulled Li Shen's sleeve and walked inside. In just a few moments, the onlookers were already standing, and he was not happy to play like a monkey. This went into it side by side. Only then did he realize that the officials in charge of the funeral were basically nowhere to be seen, and a group of servants were scurrying around like headless flies.

In this situation. Li Xian, who didn't want to stay longer, was even more reluctant to stay. hurriedly worshiped in the mourning hall, after expressing his emperor Lao Tzu's magnanimity. He was about to slip away, but he was stopped by Li Shen when he came out of the mourning hall.

"Can Rokuro do me a favor?"

Li Xian's heart suddenly sudden, and then he turned around and asked, "Uncle Ten has something to say, but please say it directly." ”

"I was originally going to set off for the first month of the new year, but now that I encounter this kind of thing, I'm afraid I won't be able to go, and I'm afraid that I will have to move the fiefdom again. I originally had nothing to do with these, if it really didn't work, I just wanted to find a quiet place in Chang'an or Luoyang to take care of my old age, and my sister also agreed with this, can you do me a favor and see what Your Majesty thinks? ”

For such a request, Li Xian pondered for a moment and readily agreed to help. When he went out, he remembered that he had escaped from Chang'an as if he had fled for his life before the festival, as if he was afraid that he would be implicated in this matter. Compared with Li Shen, that one is really a little ignorant of current affairs - the world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. This is even if you return to the fiefdom, whether you are dead or alive

Emperor Lao Tzu is just a holy decree.

On this side, he sighed and got into the carriage, he suddenly thought that now his mother gave birth to four sons, Li Hong is the crown prince, and he, the king of Yong, does not need to go to other places to take office, and Li Xian, the king of England, will never be willing to leave Chang'an, as for Li Xulun, who is young, it is even more impossible to go to the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate to be a big protector. Life in Chang'an is good, but only for some people!

With such an understanding, he returned to the Penglai Hall of Daming Palace to report to Emperor Lao Tzu, and talked about meeting Li Shen, the king of Ji, and the other party's request. In the middle of the whole process, he saw that his father had been there without saying a word, just sweeping his face with a strange gaze, as if he had seen his son for the first time in his life.

"King Ji is not guilty, the reason why he was punished is just because the people and the court often praise the name of Ji Yue, and he has to suffer a little bit with it. There is no need for him to worry, just let him go to work after the first month! ”

Li Zhi sighed tiredly, and suddenly beckoned to Li Xian. Although he had doubts in his heart, Li Xian still took a few steps forward and stopped three steps in front of Li Zhi. However, he didn't expect that his father suddenly stretched his ape arm lightly, and actually pulled him over, which was not trivial, not at all like a half-blind man who could only see a few things.

Seeing the pitch-black pupils, he suddenly woke up, and couldn't help but stutter a little when he spoke: "Father...... You...... Your eyes ......"

"Well, I can almost see things already."

Li Xian's surprise is not trivial, you must know that the matter of the abdication of the emperor Lao Tzu has been so busy that the entire Ministry of Rites is eager for everyone to have one more hand, and now Li Zhi's eyes suddenly regain his sight, doesn't it mean that everything is in vain? Having said that, he still felt an inexplicable joy, and hurriedly said a congratulatory word in his heart.

"I've been on the throne for so many years, and I'm already tired, no matter what my eyes are, it's imperative to pass on the throne." Li Zhi naturally saw clearly the trace of confusion that Li Xian had just flashed away, so he simply explained it clearly. But this matter is not the point, he wanted to ask Li Zhendi for an understanding of what he said that day, but when he thought of this kind of thing, it was better not to ask, so in the end he had to casually order two sentences, taking care of Li Xian not to spread the word about his regained sight, so he sent his son away.

But Emperor Li didn't make it clear, Li Xian, who was a son, had to think about it when he got out of Penglai Palace. Although it is rare to regain his sight after this blindness, I heard Qin Heming's imperial doctors say that Daddy's dizziness has not improved, that is to say, whether those eyes can be saved depends on luck and maintenance. It's just that his mother knows about this?

Standing at the door stunned for a long time, he finally decided to go back. This just came out of Penglai Hall and went to Zichen Palace, which looked too eye-catching. And it was such a thought, the process of his dashing departure from Daming Palace made a person who had been watching him leave Daming Palace in the eyes of all the people, and then turned to the ears of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

One person is happy, but the other group is not. Especially Shangguanyi, who was waiting for Li Xian in the political affairs hall, after learning that Li Xian had run home again, he smashed the table with hatred - he already felt an unprecedented crisis about what happened to his precious granddaughter, so he couldn't help but spread his anger on Li Xian, who often slipped away.

"Old Shangguan, is it useful for you to smash the table?" Hao Chujun watched coldly, and at this time he couldn't help but snort, "I think it's a system problem, and it lacks effective ...... for King Yong That's why he does whatever he wants. ”

Although Hao Chujun's four words were unusually fresh, they still resonated with the rest of the people in the political hall, and everyone nodded there. Just as they were preparing for the next round of discussions, a small official outside suddenly rushed in with a happy face: "Ladies and gentlemen, Liu Xianggong has returned from Liaodong!" ”

Liu Renliang is back!

Upon hearing the news, the six-member joint meeting of the government hall was temporarily terminated, and the head of the official ceremony came outside to greet the hard-working prime minister - since Yi Ji and Yi Hyun returned to the west, Yoo In-rail alone inspected from Goguryeo to Baekje and then to Silla, which can be said to have fully exercised his authority as an ambassador of pacification. Therefore, seeing this white-bearded and white-haired old man, even a political opponent can't help but admire the old man's old age and strength.

"Why didn't you give us notice earlier when you came back, at least you should have sent someone to greet you at the city gate!"

Shangguan Yi said politely, but Liu Renliang smiled and did not answer, but suddenly changed the topic: "I heard that there were frequent major events in Chang'an City along the way, so I rushed back all the way day and night." What's going on with your majesty's two royal grandsons? What is going on with King Yue's rebellion? Also, the stabbed Ming Chongyan and the missing Guo Xingzhen ......"

Seeing that Old Man Liu was nagging endlessly as soon as he came back, Pei Yan and Liu Yizhi couldn't help but glance at each other, and at the same time thought of the impact of Old Liu Tou's return. This New Year's Month is about to pass on the throne, but don't make any mess.
