Taiji Palace, Ganlu Palace.

Li Xiang's expression was a little exciting.

His eyes blinked vigorously and rubbed vigorously, but the eyes remained the same.

Li Chengqian sat in his seat, although he looked a little tired, but it was definitely not a serious illness. The emperor's eyes looked at Li Xiang without emotion, and Li Xiang couldn't see a trace of panic in Li Chengqian's eyes.

Of course he doesn't need to panic, Li Xiang is not his imperial grandfather Li Erdi, Li Erqi Palace, that is, he has most of the military power, but what about Li Xiang? His mastery is just what he thinks he masters, and the soldiers who follow him are placed outside, and it is estimated that no one else knows who this person is.

Changsun Chong and Dugu Mou stood up with cold faces, and Li Xiang's heart was a little wider. These two people have already said that they will definitely support themselves, they are their own Wei Chigong!

But immediately, what Changsun Chong said made him completely fall into the ice cave.

"Come on, take them down!"

The guards all came up, and the brocade guards rushed out suddenly, with a long knife, but it was just a dazzling eye, and the people around Li Xiang didn't even have time to scream.

Li Xiang was stunned, he felt that the people in heaven and earth were crazy.

"Liar! You are all liars! You're all lying to me! ”

He screamed like a madman, and then with a knife, he frantically slashed at Jinyiwei, but how could he be Jinyiwei's opponent with his little martial arts?

With just one kick, he had already been kicked off his weapon, his hair was scattered, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding.

He looked at all this blankly, and then he remembered Liu Xu's words.

"Li Xiang, people, can't be so stupid as to be wrong twice in a lifetime!"

Then, Li Xiang burst out laughing, and the laughter almost ran through the entire Taiji Palace.

"Your Majesty?"

Changsun Chong stood up, at this time, it was time for the emperor to decide.

Li Chengqian's face exhaled slowly, he frowned, looked at the crazy Li Xiang, waved his hand weakly, and killed!

"Your Majesty, but the Queen Mother?"

Li Chengqian turned around suddenly, his eyes were terrifyingly cold.

"Kill! I just want to tell the world that whoever is in chaos will die! Even if it's my son, it's no exception! ”

The eldest grandson was shocked, and then, together with Dugu Mou, bowed and saluted, and one person set aside, pulling Li Xiang out directly.

Li Chengqian looked at the direction of Ah Fang from afar, he couldn't calm down for a long time, in order to restrain the imperial power, in order to warn the world, he took his own son under the knife. Does he want to? But this is fate, royal fate! The emperor hunts the world, and he always has to shoot a few birds in his early stages, who made you so stupid! Liu Xu will tell you that this is a trap, you are still coming! You're really, damn stupid!

Li Chengqian kept comforting himself.

But

Over and over again, he asked himself whether it was right or wrong to do so.

He thought of his father again, back then, how many times did he impulsively want to force the palace? He looked at this throne, this position, how many people were harmed? How many people in the world want to get it?

Li Chengqian sat down again, to be honest, it was cold and cold, and it was definitely not as comfortable as the recliner sofa in Liu Xu's house.

Thinking of Liu Xu, Li Chengqian smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"You're not going to come out to help me this time, are you? Are you hiding at home and scolding me? You will definitely do it, you will jump to your feet, point your nose and scold, Li Chengqian, you are a bastard! ”

You're a jerk yourself, right? I used to hear Liu Xu say that those who are emperors are all bad guys, and only bad guys can rule the world. Good people are the most pitiful in the world, because they will always live under society.

Is that so?

Li Chengqian stroked his forehead and thought for a long time, then smiled. It seems to be true. If an emperor is ruthless, then he is not a good emperor, an emperor, without a little means of imperial means, then he is not a good emperor. All of these require the emperor to intrigue with the ministers.

"Hey, Xuzi, you should say, there is no good person in this court. Look at it, those individuals are either stupid enough to help Li Xiang, or, just like the eldest grandson Wuji, are planning everything behind the scenes. But I still can't help but follow his intentions, after all, the court still needs an eldest grandson Chong to balance the power. ”

He let out a long sigh, then squinted and leaned back in his chair.

Hou Li'er walked in from the outside with a bowl of soup and medicine, looking at the inner servants and palace maids who were kneeling on the ground, she sighed softly, and then waved her hand, and those people hurriedly retreated.

Li Chengqian opened his eyes and saw Hou Li'er trying the temperature of the decoction, which must have been very bitter, because she had wrinkled her eyebrows a few times.

Li Chengqian smiled, and then got up with great effort, Hou Li'er saw it and hurriedly came over to help.

"You must be tired, right? Drink this decoction, so you can take a good rest, right? ”

Li Chengqian nodded and shook his head again.

"I can't rest, my father has drawn a huge blueprint, and I have to carefully consider the coloring. Liaodong wants to open oil fields, we here, and open coal mines, of course, the most important thing is Yizhou Nanzhao side, copper mines, iron mines, these are needed, now Qingque will train the speed again, Chang'an to Luoyang, Luoyang to Yuezhou, Yuezhou to Suzhou and Hangzhou, but also to Yizhou Nanzhao area, you see, just to build these railways, I have to carefully check every day, this is a big decision, the railway is like a chain, repaired, we can be Tang, tightly tied together, troops can also be transported quickly. In this way, Datang's national defense has been further consolidated. ”

"Of course, there are also merchants, and today's merchants are all over the country, from the far Western Regions, to the farther South China Sea, Liaodong, these are the footprints of merchants. As the saying goes, full of warm thoughts, businessmen have money, they think, want more things, such as rights, they do not hurry to put pressure on me, hoping that they can be the imperial examination, can be an official, you see, over the years, how many descendants of court officials, married the daughters of merchants, before, can you imagine? But I can't stop this, this is the trend, it's the trend. All I can do is to control my officials well, so that they don't play too much with authority and collude between officials and businessmen! ”

"Datang has to build more schools and hospitals, and these things need me to carefully consider what to do. A few days ago, Xue Rengui in Liaodong came to the side again, saying that the Japanese people who had left were wandering around the island again, and it seemed that they were Zhang Zhongjian, who had never fought in the South China Sea. ”

"So, you see, although Datang seems to be too peaceful, but the more peaceful it is, the more things will happen, and these things are getting more and more detailed, but they can't be sloppy, a tax rate may be able to make the country lose tens of millions of silver, so how can I still rest." Alas, originally, I could have taken it easy, but Liu Xu, a bastard guy, was hiding in Afang Town, so he just didn't take a step. Sometimes, I really want to take a rope and tie this bastard to the pillar of the court, so that he can watch me go to the court every day! I really regret it, how could I have agreed to him at that time and let him enjoy Qingfu? ”

Li Chengqian drank the decoction in one gulp, and coughed violently a few times, although his physical condition was not too bad, but it was not much better, how many years it could last, he didn't know, his eyes were always staring at the map, on it, there were a lot of lines outlined, he didn't know, in this life, whether he could realize these lines.

Li Er is in a hurry, in fact, he is more anxious than Li Er, he doesn't have Li Er's domineering, so he needs to rein in the imperial power to achieve his goal, Li Er has too much pressure on him, he's a son, he can't lose his face, otherwise, when he goes to the underworld, how can he see him Laozi, how can he explain?

Inside the Jinyi Guard, the chamberlain who went to Longyou to deliver the decree came to Li Chengqian again, and several teeth were knocked out by Liu Zheng, and his speech was a little leaky.

Li Chengqian looked at him and smiled helplessly. This is also a kind of temptation, Li Chongzhen endured it, but his eldest brother Li Chongyi didn't hold back. The soldiers besieged Afang Town, which were Li Chongyi and Xu Jingye.

"Fortunately, go down, I will reward you, but when you see Liu Zheng in the future, you have to stay away."

Li Chengqian didn't want Liu Zheng to know that this person was his own person, and he was specially sent to test Liu Zheng and Li Chongzhen. Liu Xu will not rebel, but it does not mean that his son will not. The three sons of the Liu family, although they do not have Liu Xu's ability, are really outstanding compared to others.

Therefore, Li Chengqian did not hesitate to think of people's hearts badly, and there were some temptations, which he needed.

"Li'er, Xiaoya and Liu Zheng, you haven't been back for a long time, right?"

Hou Li'er thought for a moment, and then smiled.

"It's been a long time, three or four years. This time the soldiers surrounded Ah Fang, they must have been in a hurry, if it weren't for Liu Xu's letter, ordering them not to make a mistake, with their personalities, it is estimated that they would have rushed back long ago. ”

Li Chengqian smiled.

"Yes, Liu Xu, this guy, is as sensitive to danger as a beast, when his father was in his hands, he hid with a little bit of turmoil, and his father was helpless to him at the time, and now it's in my hands, okay, this guy relied on my previous promise and went into hiding. This time, I took the opportunity to hand over the last weight in my hand. This guy, I really can't help it. ”

Hou Li'er smiled along.

"He can't help it, now that the eldest grandson Wuji is about to stay, the only person in the world who can restrain him, now that he has fallen, can he not shrink quickly? Didn't you say it, every month, if there is no letter of impeachment of Liu Xu for rebellion, you will feel abnormal. ”

Li Chengqian was stunned, and then sighed.

"He knew what I was trying to do, and he couldn't stop me from reining in the power, so he had to let it go. Okay, I drank this medicine, and my spirit has improved a lot, taking this time, I have to deal with some official business, you go and call the queen over, Liu Zheng is so old, it's time to get married, otherwise, Mulan has to raise an old girl, this thing happened in the royal family, that's not a good thing. ”

....

Afang Town.

Changsun Chong and Dugu Mou rode war horses, condescendingly looking at the tied Xu Jingye and Li Chongyi, Li Ji and Li Xiaogong, both of them dragging their long beards, trembling all over. A prince, a prince, at this moment are two old men in their last years, and if the wind is stronger, they can be blown down.

Liu Xu sat in the middle of the road, Liu Yimo was covered in blood, and the people who dared to approach the palace were killed by her, and the blood flowed like a river, Liu Xu frowned, this girl, it seems that she is really going to be smashed in her hand, Xiao Wu, what do you look like, and you are still proud?

Changle watched silently for a long time, and then reluctantly entered the mansion, Xiao Wu was not afraid of the ground these days, and wanted to continue to watch the excitement, but was glared back by Liu Xu's eyes.

When only Liu Yimo and Liu Xu, who had changed their clothes, were left here, Changsun Chong and Dugu Mou got off their horses. They looked at Liu Xu and then at Liu Yimo, they could only sigh helplessly, the Liu family was destined to be untouched.

"Two good means, Datang has been calm for so many years, within one day, the blood flowed like a river, the smell of blood, almost overturned my Afang Town, I haven't been on the battlefield for a long time, smelling this smell, I really want to vomit!"

The eldest grandson rushed and Dugu looked at each other, and then smiled bitterly.

"King Anyi is so idle, how can he know the hardships of others."

Liu Xu snorted.

"Yes, I don't know, I only know that the face that Datang has finally accumulated has been torn to shreds by the two of them! Now it's okay, the heavenly family is ruthless, and it can be interpreted by you very clearly! ”

The eldest grandson was shocked.

"Okay, okay, you Liu Xu is a good person in the world, we are all bad guys, peerless bastards, okay?"

"That's it, you're amazing, sitting here, no one can move you, since ancient times, the first minister who is not a minister, Liu Xu, Lao Tzu obeys you!"

Liu Xu was also stunned for a moment, and then shook his head gently.

"That's it, that's it, what do you have to do with me, the two of you are on official business, Liu Xu won't stay, please."

The eldest grandson snorted.

"But the emperor said that these two people need your judgment from Lord Liu!"

Liu Xu frowned, looked at Xu Jingye and Li Chongyi who were like dead dogs on the ground, and then looked at Li Xiaogong and Li Ji next to him.

"It's easy to do, let's kill it."

"Killed?"

Changsun Chong and Dugu were stunned, they really couldn't imagine that Liu Xu would say this.

"Kill!"

Liu Xu nodded affirmatively.

The emperor's sons are dead, how can they live? If they live, it proves that the emperor wants to uproot these two families!

Therefore, when Liu Xu said that he had killed, Li Xiaogong and Li Ji both gave up to Liu Xu, and then, as if they had lost all their strength, they left slowly.

Dugu Mou and Changsun Chong also understood, and then, the two of them snorted, and the two heads of the two brains rolled down on the ground, and at this moment, their eyes were closed.

Afang Town regained its tranquility again, and under the night sky, an old woman slowly knocked on the gate of the palace. Liu Xu paused, and then reached over to help.

"You're just in time, I just fried a few dishes here, and I'm going to have a supper."

"Hehe, just right, I brought some wine, this wine, but the emperor and the mourning family were buried under the plum tree together, not much, come, you taste, the taste, is it still pure?"
