Chapter 7: A Bitter Heart

"Your Highness...... Your Highness ......"

The voice behind him became more and more urgent, and he seemed a little out of breath.

Li Hong sighed in his heart and stopped.

After a while, Dai Zhide caught up and stopped behind Li Hong while panting, Li Hong saw that he was still so embarrassed at his age, and he felt a little unbearable, so he slowed down his tone.

"It's getting late, it's more exposed, Dai Xianggong should go back and rest early!"

"Your Highness, please listen to the old minister's words, His Highness needs to be cautious about the six rates of the East Palace!"

Dai Zhide finally took a breath, and when he opened his mouth, Li Hong was furious, this stubborn old guy, thanks to the dead Li Hong, he treated him with a teacher's courtesy, and he repaid himself like this?

If you don't help, forget it, it's a stumbling block in the open, it's just a betrayal of Chiguoguo!

As soon as he thought of this, Li Hong's face suddenly sank, and he sneered.

"Hehe, it's not clear to Lonely, the father, the queen and the queen have all been allowed to play, and the ministers and ministers of the political hall have no objections, how can this matter be done, can it be said that Dai Xianggong is more far-sighted than all the ministers?"

Dai Zhide saw the thick ridicule in Li Hong's tone, and knew that his decision today really angered His Royal Highness the Prince, who has always been known for his benevolence and harmony, and sighed slightly, Dai Zhide said slowly.

"As the prince's right concubine, the old minister should do his best to assist His Royal Highness the Prince, today's matter, the old minister knows that His Royal Highness is angry that the old minister did not stand by His Royal Highness's side, but His Royal Highness thinks about it, the old minister has been by His Royal Highness's side since he was a child, how can it be unfavorable to His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"This ......"

Li Hong was a little speechless for a while, thinking about it carefully, what Dai Zhide said was also right, since he was named the prince, Dai Zhide has served as the prince's guest, the lecturer of the East Palace, and the prince's right concubine, it can be said that he grew up watching himself, and there is no reason why it will be unfavorable to the East Palace.

There must be something inside here!

Li Hong smiled bitterly, the string in his heart is really too tight these days, first he was assassinated in the Eastern Capital, and then he was made difficult by Li Yifu, and when he returned to Chang'an, he saw the political hall obstructing him from rebuilding the East Palace, and he was simply confused.

"Master Dai, forgive me, Fang is reckless!"

After thinking about this section, Li Hong realized how much mistake he had made, and made a deep swipe at Dai Zhide, and his tone became full of apologies.

"Your Highness has suffered great changes these days, and there are some momentary inconsiderateness, the old minister can understand, Your Highness doesn't have to take it to heart."

Dai Zhide stroked his gray beard and said with a slightly relieved smile, in the early years, he served as a lecturer in the East Palace, teaching the prince's classics, so Li Hong has always treated him with a teacher's courtesy, so Li Hong's title to him changed, and he knew that His Royal Highness the prince really realized the mistake.

What's more, the crown prince is the prince, he is a courtier, and the gift is already the biggest etiquette that Li Hong can do to him, and what makes him happiest is that this trip to the eastern capital, although it has encountered waves, has made His Royal Highness the prince become resolute and resolute, which is really a surprise.

Dai Zhide picked up Li Hong and continued.

"The six rates of the East Palace are the biggest force to guard the safety of the prince, but His Highness is so angry because the old minister opposes this matter?"

"Indeed, after thinking about it, this matter is beneficial and harmless to the East Palace, I don't know why Master Dai wants to stop it?"

Li Hong looked at Dai Zhide with some doubts, paused, and continued.

"If it is said that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was the result of the reckless military and the world was full of smoke, this statement is inevitably biased, although Emperor Yang is absurd and unreasonable, but it is not without merit in the military road, not to mention that my Tang Iron Cavalry shocked all countries, and was alone as the prince, and it was the right thing to re-establish the six rates of the prince, and I really didn't know why Dai Shi wanted to stop it."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really smart."

Dai Zhide knew that he couldn't frighten Li Hong with his words in the political affairs hall, and even he couldn't convince himself of those reasons, let alone Li Hong.

At present, it is still the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the contradiction between the civil and military generals is not obvious, and military merit is still the most important credit of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the most important way for the Shu people to be promoted.

What's more, Dai Zhide is not the kind of pedantic minister who hates military generals, and naturally knows how important military strength is for an empire, but although it is right to attach importance to military equipment, it should not be proposed by the prince!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really still inexperienced, Dai Zhide sighed and spoke.

"His Royal Highness was only in the political affairs hall, and he mentioned the first emperor, so His Highness can know how similar his Royal Highness is to the first emperor of the year!"

"Master Dai is cautious!"

Although it was early autumn, Li Hong was still frightened into a cold sweat by Dai Zhide's words, and in a trance, Li Hong seemed to see Li Zhi's suspicious gaze in Luoyang Palace again.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin back then, also had a very high prestige among the people, and also controlled a large number of troops in the imperial city, so that Emperor Gaozu had to abdicate and make way for Xian, and now His Royal Highness is getting older, and the handling of the government is full of benevolence and generosity, and the people are all praised, His Royal Highness's prestige among the people has faintly overshadowed His Majesty, and the six rates of the East Palace are not a big help to His Royal Highness the Prince, but it is a brocade of flowers and cooking oil!"

Dai Zhide ignored Li Hong, and just continued to talk to himself.

"Your Royal Highness must know that Your Majesty is not the Emperor Gaozu of the year, not to mention that there is still a queen in charge of court affairs, if His Royal Highness's East Palace is really built, His Majesty will not say anything in the short term, but it will always be a thorn in His Majesty's heart, not to mention that the old minister believes that with His Royal Highness's character, he will never do such a rebellious thing, in this case, why should His Highness insist on it."

After saying a long list of words at once, Old Man Dai was a little dry-mouthed, but he still looked at Li Hong, hoping that he could "change his mind".

"Well, Master Dai's words are not unreasonable!"

Li Hong pondered for a while and said with some difficulty, but before Dai Zhide was happy, Li Hong raised his head and said firmly.

"Despite this, Lone still insists on re-establishing the sixth rate of the crown prince!"

Li Hong's words almost changed Dai Zhide's face, and he felt that he had just exhorted a large amount of advice, and the lord in front of him was all in his left ear and out of his right ear, and he didn't listen to a word.

"Master Dai also listened to Lone's words, a father's will has been made, this matter is imperative, and the crime of disobeying the holy will is that Lone can't afford it."

Li Hong paced back and forth and said slowly.

"The second is the assassination of Lone in the Eastern Capital, which really makes Lone Heart frightened, and now the assassin has not been captured, if the thieves attack again, the strength of the East Palace will not be enough."

"Three ......"

Li Hong suddenly raised his head and looked at Dai Zhide.

"Master Dai also said just now, my father is not Emperor Gaozu, but Lone is not the first emperor, Lone believes that his father can understand Lone's intentions, so please forgive Master Dai, this matter is imperative!"

In the last sentence, Li Hong's words were categorical, which made Dai Zhide a little discouraged, stunned for a moment, and Dai Zhide spoke.

"In this case, the old minister has no objections, and His Highness will start to do it! However, although the old minister believes in His Royal Highness's character and His Majesty's love for His Highness, it is inevitable that there will be people around His Majesty who will attack His Highness with this matter, and please take precautions as soon as possible. ”

Dai Zhide's tone was a little unwilling, obviously Li Hong's reason was not enough to convince him, but he still chose to support Li Hong, hesitated, Dai Zhide continued.

"Second, His Highness should be careful of Liu Renliang, his attitude is a little strange today, and the matter of today's political affairs hall must soon be spread to the Eastern Capital, and His Highness should also be wary of villains using it as a handle when he returns to Beijing privately."

After Dai Zhide finished speaking, he bowed his hand to Li Hong, and turned around and left a little sluggishly.

Li Hong didn't stop him, although he knew that he had hurt the old man's loyalty a little today, but the matter of the six rates of the East Palace was imperative, not only because Empress Wu would dominate the government in the future and ascend the throne as the emperor.

What's more, that strange "assassination" has always made Li Hong feel strongly uneasy, the other party can silently poison the prince of a country in the forbidden, without leaving the slightest trace, it can be seen that the power is definitely not small, if you don't take precautions early, Li Hong will have to go to see the king of Hades sooner or later like the original owner.

What's more, as the prince of a country, the power in Li Hong's hands is really too weak, although it seems that Li Hong has a very high prestige among the people, and he is the successor praised by the government and the opposition, but the prestige thing is a virtual thing that can no longer be false, in fact, he, the prince of the East Palace, wants money or not, and no one wants people, if Empress Wu and Li Zhi want to abolish him, they only need a holy decree to beat him into the abyss between their hands.

So Li Hong must start to build his own power, although he doesn't believe that Li Zhi will be unfavorable to him, but it has never been wise to entrust his life in the hands of others, not to mention that he has a ruthless queen mother on his head, and the position of this prince is really not so easy to sit in.

But these words can't be said to Dai Zhide, Li Hong sighed, beckoned forward, and two guards stepped forward.

"You two secretly escort Master Dai back, you must be safely delivered to the mansion, and then come back to report to Lonely."

After that, the two guards turned around and left and rushed to the direction of Dai Zhide's departure, although Li Hong disagreed with Dai Zhide's suggestion, but he could feel that this old man was really thinking about himself, no wonder he could be cited by the original owner as a confidant, it seems that the original owner's vision of people is still good!

At this time, Li Hong had already selectively forgotten that he was still despising the original owner's eyes just now......

But now that it's so late, Dai Zhide is used to only bringing two little guys, which makes Li Hong a little worried, and called two guards to secretly follow up and protect.

"Hey, where's Qian'er?"

Li Hong was a little strange, just now he was discussing with Dai Zhide, so Qian'er and the guards retreated, and now that Dai Zhide has left, why don't you see Qian'er coming.

When Li Hong was puzzled, he saw the little girl running over from a distance, panting, and her small breasts of considerable size rose and fell up and down, outlining a beautiful arc, but the next sentence of the little girl made Li Hongden stunned.

The little girl ran to Li Hong and said with a little joy.

"Your Highness, the crown princess is here!"
