Chapter 447: No Excuse
Listening to Chen Xuanli's report, Li Longji finally frowned, looked at King Xuanyi Shou in front of him, and said without the slightest annoyance: "As far as I know, King Shou happens to have a secret guard called Qing Moth Guard by his side, and these can be found in the report that Jian Nan handed to the court a year ago. ”
At this point, Li Qing found that he was too immature after all, but it was not his character to give up struggling and not resisting, he raised his head for the first time, and looked directly at the majestic emperor in front of him, who was at least seven points similar to his appearance, and there was a few wry smiles in his desolate tone, "The matter has come to this, and Erchen knows that saying anything more will only increase his father's suspicion, but there are some words, Erchen has to say, the people say that Zhizi Mo Ruo's father, Erchen's character must be understood by his father, what he has done is what he has done, and what he has not done is not what he has not done, The son only asked his father if he believed that the son would risk the world to do such a disobedient thing! ”
"Hehe, if you talk about bitter meat, two of the four henchmen under the command of this king are seriously injured and unconscious, and their lives and deaths are still unknown, and the other two are also covered in blood, even if the son is full of no less than three knife wounds at the moment, each of which is deep and visible, please think about it, will the son really make these sacrifices for a woman?"
"Even if the retainer really makes these sacrifices for a woman one day, that woman will definitely not be the concubine next to his father!"
One sentence made the faces of the two change dramatically, looking at the beautiful woman behind him who was defeated because of King Shou's words, the heart of licking calves that had just risen in Li Longji's heart was suppressed by a strong jealousy, and he immediately waved his sleeves, clenched the sword of the Son of Heaven in his hand at some point, and said: "Presumptuous!" ”
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he naturally saw the Sword of Heaven in Li Longji's hand, and forcibly suppressed the tension in his heart, at present, only by advancing and retreating, pressing step by step, can he win a glimmer of life for himself, "What, is my father going to behead his son?" ”
Hearing this, Li Longji, who was originally filled with anger in his chest, woke up in his mind, looked at the stubborn young man who was kneeling in front of him and would rather die, finally relented, and said slowly: "No matter how you explain it, this time is your biggest suspicion after all, before the matter is investigated, you should reflect in the mansion." ”
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in my heart, my face was silent, I knocked my head on the ground, and bowed down: "Son, thank you for your father's grace not to kill!" ”
Hearing this, Li Longji, who had already taken a step, paused, and swept the Shouwang who had not gotten up behind him from beginning to end with a complicated face, and in a moment, he left without the slightest nostalgia, since Li Longji, Yang Yuhuan, who was dressed in a tight suit, paused when he passed by the side of Xuanyi Shouwang, looked at the blood on the young man's body and his stubborn face, hesitated for a moment, and finally did not speak, and left slowly.
No one thought that the people who originally thought that King Shou would shed their skin even if he didn't die this time, saw that this matter ended like this, and there were many unwilling people, but since His Majesty had spoken, Li Heng and the others were naturally not doing anything, and they left this place in groups of three or five, surrounded by a group of cronies.
So the originally lively venue with the departure of batch after batch of teams, only a few teams remained, one is King Sheng, the other is the two kings of Yan and Di, King Sheng, who is six points similar to Li Qing, took two steps forward, looked at the young man in Xuanyi who had already stood up, and said coldly: "This time you have a big fate, compared to half a year ago, you are indeed more difficult to deal with!" ”
Hearing King Sheng's meaningful words, Li Qing didn't see the slightest annoyance, "This king is not dead, but he has disappointed Brother Qi!" ”
After that, he no longer paid attention to King Sheng, walked in front of the two kings of Yan and Di, bowed his hand, and said solemnly: "Thank you two for your righteous words." ”
In response to Li Qing's politeness, King Yan, who was free and uninhibited by nature, waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's just a gesture, besides, we also have our purpose in doing this, how can the icing on the cake be as low as charcoal in the snow." ”
Facing King Yan's calmness, Li Qing didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only keep his affection in his heart, and then arched his hand and went back to the road he came from alone.
That night, by the dragon fish pond in Shouwangfu, Wei Yanyu, who was wearing a palace costume of 3,000 green silk and was held up by a hosta, looked at the broken eyes of the young man lying in his arms, his heart was full of pity, he combed the young man with both hands and became sideburns, and said softly: "If the husband is tired, just take a break, no matter when, Yanyu will be by the husband's side!" ”
Stretched out his hand to hold the beautiful woman's slender hand like jade under the reflection of the moonlight, only to feel that the pain in his body was also a little lighter, feeling that a small life in his ears was slowly being conceived, Li Qing's heart became extremely quiet, he really closed his eyes, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Yanyu, fortunately, there are still you in this world!" ”
Feeling the even breathing of the young man in his arms, Wei Yanyu lowered her head slightly, and pressed her forehead against the young man's forehead, her heart was extremely warm.
Compared with the warmth of King Shou and his wife, Li Linfu's father and son in the study room of the Prime Minister's Mansion lacked a little warmth, a little more solemn and serious, looking at the father in front of him who could not hide his majesty even if he was dressed in regular clothes, Li Xiu hesitated slightly, and finally said: "What is my father's plan for today's events?" ”
Faced with his only son's question, the gray-headed Li Linfu finally put down the official document in his hand, stood up, and did not answer directly, but asked: "What does Xiu'er think about today's events?" ”
Naturally, he understood that this was his father examining himself, so he simply sorted out his thoughts and said in an orderly manner: "Obviously, someone designed King Shou for all this today, but I don't know if it is the prince or the king of Tan?" ”
"Now it seems that the people behind the scenes have long planned to take advantage of this hunt in the eastern suburbs, not to mention anything else, it is not possible to send more than 100 top killers into the royal hunting ground in a day or two, after all, the royal hunting ground in the eastern suburbs is adjacent to the imperial tomb, and it has the handle of the tomb guard, if it is sent too much at a time, it is easy to attract attention, more than 100 people, at least six times to be able to pass the test."
"And the person who arranged all this can be said to know the character of His Majesty today, and His Majesty is suspicious and suspicious today, and this person knows even more that the concubine Niangniang is the dead knot that cannot be untied between His Majesty and His Royal Highness King Shou no matter what, and it is by taking advantage of this point that he has hit King Shou to death."
"It's just that in any case, in the eyes of Erchen, His Royal Highness King Shou is indeed a little reckless today, and he actually chose to collide with His Majesty, and fortunately, His Majesty cares about a few traces of father-son affection, otherwise, I'm afraid King Shou will not be so easy to get out today."
Shaking his head, a gray regular dress set off Li Linfu's shrewd and introverted personality well, and said in a condensed voice: "In my opinion, on the contrary, King Shou's move today is really to put him to death and live later, to advance and retreat, as you said, Your Majesty is suspicious by nature, and the people behind the scenes have also successfully grasped Your Majesty's character weaknesses, so that King Shou appeared in front of His Majesty with an injury, and in the face of His Majesty's persecution, if King Shou retreats half a step, in the eyes of others, it is a manifestation of weakness and reason, so His Royal Highness King Shou fights with reason, It just shows that he is not afraid of shadows, if it is not so, it is difficult for King Shou to have the life to get out of the hunting ground alive today! ”
There was a brief moment of consternation on his face, "Tiger poison still doesn't eat children, is it because of such a nonsensical thing, Your Majesty will really kill the killer!" ”
Li Linfu, who has always been taciturn, had a little more patience in order to educate the only son in front of him, and said slowly, "According to what you said, today in the hunting ground, there was a moment when Your Majesty clenched the Sword of Heaven in your hand. ”
"In the eyes of His Majesty today, there is no family affection at all, the former prince Li Ying and Guang, and the second king of Hubei did not believe that His Majesty would kill them, but as a result, a holy decree, the third son died, if you want to talk about ruthlessness, today, I am afraid that no one can compare to our Majesty!"
seemed to realize that he had said a little too much, and after a while, Li Linfu waved his hand, signaling that Li Xiu could leave, and then pulled out a picture scroll pressed at the bottom of the desk alone, and said nothing all night.
What happened on the hunting ground was spread by people with hearts, and it didn't take long for it to spread throughout Chang'an, everyone was shocked, who would have thought that His Royal Highness King Shouwang, who had just returned triumphantly and was in the limelight for a while, was grounded in the mansion, which is undoubtedly a slap in the face for King Shou, and some people with a little channel still know, listening to His Majesty's meaning that day, I'm afraid this matter is far from over.
