Chapter 375: Brothers Meet
There was a lot of chaos in the political affairs hall, Xu Jingzong and the others were busy, but Li Hong did not appear, he was in a place that no one had thought of at the moment......
In the prison of Dali Temple!
Inside, the sinner Li Xian, who is about to be executed, is imprisoned!
"Your Highness, please, I don't know why recently, this Li Xian suddenly became uneating and drinking, and I don't know who he is fighting with, although he is a big crime, but it is better to die than to live......"
The cell boss guarding the prison saw Li Hong once once, but he was not very afraid of this highness. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
While leading Li Hong inside, he said in a broken way, sighed heavily, silently handed over the key in his hand to Wang Fusheng on the side, and walked out with his head shaken.
"Sixth brother?"
Li Hong's tone was complicated with a hint of complexity, and he shouted.
It's only been a few days, Li Xian's face has become pale and frightening, and more importantly, he has a breath of death on his face all the time.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Compared with last time, this time Li Xian was much calmer, although his eyes were desperate, his expression was very calm, and he even got up and saluted Li Hong respectfully.
Sighing, Li Hong waved his hand gently, Wang Fusheng immediately understood, opened the heavy chain on the cell door with his hands and feet, carefully put the food box in his hand on the ground, and took out seven or eight exquisite side dishes and a pot of sake from it.
"Heh, is it the day of the little brother? There is such a good guillotine dish, thank you to the prince's brother first! ”
Seeing this scene, Li Xian's face did not change, but a trace of self-deprecation flashed in his eyes, and he spoke.
Li Hong didn't care about the mess of this prison, he was silent for a moment, and sat down directly opposite Li Xian, his expression equally calm.
"The Ministry of Punishment has already drawn up a date, and tomorrow morning will be the time for execution! After all, brothers, the fifth brother is here to see you off for the last ride! ”
His eyes were slightly raised, and Li Hong's voice did not contain a trace of emotion, and there was still a touch of regret in his plain tone.
With that, he reached out and picked up the flask, and the amber liquor poured out, reflecting in the sunlight as a thin line.
"This is a good wine from the Imperial Palace! It's all my brother who sees you off! ”
Unexpectedly, Li Xian showed a sarcastic smile on his face, looking at the glass of clear wine, but he was silent, and after a while, he spoke softly.
"I think that with the temperament of the prince's brother, I won't do such things as poisoning! That's it, if the prince's brother has anything to say, just ask! ”
But even though he said that, the glass of wine in front of him was untouched......
In fact, Li Xian is not a stupid person, the reason why he lost again and again before was just blinded by the throne, but he calmed down in the past few days, but he has a bit of an open-minded taste.
What's more, if you want to say goodbye, Li Hong did enough a few days ago, why bother to do this today and come to see him in this dark prison again?
"Liu Renliang's army...... It's already in Lantian County! ”
Sighing, Li Hong said softly, his expression was slightly awe-inspiring, but his eyes were staring at Li Xian's face tightly.
The latter's face was happy at first, then darkened, and a sneer appeared at the corners of his mouth.
"So, today is the day I'm on my way!"
At this point, Li Xian no longer hoped that Liu Renliang would be able to rescue him, if there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart before, then the moment he saw Li Hong, he knew that his death time had come.
Since Li Hong already knew about Liu Renliang, he must have gained insight into their plans, so I am afraid that it is impossible for him to get out of this cell alive today......
"But I don't understand, Liu Ren's position is high and powerful, and he is the hero of the pacification of Goguryeo this time, why is he willing to take such a big risk?"
Li Hong did not answer his question directly, but frowned slightly, with a little doubt in his voice.
Until now, only Li Hong, Pei Xingjian, and the three bigwigs of the Political Affairs Hall know the reason for Liu Renliang's rebellion, and the secret letter from Xue Rengui stated what happened after the victory of the Eastern Crusade!
On the day of the siege of Pyongyang, Li Ji's body could no longer support it, and before he died, he handed over the talisman and the knots to Xue Rengui's hands, and instructed him to send his last piece of music to Chang'an City immediately......
And in that letter, Li Jiqing clearly said that after the victory of Goguryeo, he hoped that the imperial court would send a senior official to sit in Liaodong in case Goguryeo changed again, and this candidate was Liu Renliang!
It's just that before Xue Rengui could react, Liu Renliang suddenly broke into the tent of the handsome, took advantage of the chaos to take away the military talisman and the jieyue, and imprisoned Xue Rengui and his cronies, thus controlling the entire Eastern Expeditionary Army!
That's right, several people in the political hall knew that the reason why Liu Renliang embarked on this road was that Li Ji wanted him to stay in the barren land of Liaodong, so he resisted angrily, so that he has raised troops to attack Chang'an now......
But no one has considered it, this is completely a move where income and risk are not proportional, even if he is guarding in Liaodong, Liu Renliang is still a member of the imperial court, as long as he slowly makes a plan, there must be hope to return to the imperial court, why should he take such a risk and raise troops to rebel?
There is also the fact that Li Xian seems to have long been convinced that Liu Renliang will inevitably rush back to Chang'an City to save him, and Liu Renliang's reaction later also confirmed this!
Why is that?
Even if Liu Renliang took refuge in Li Xian, but now that Li Xian has become a prisoner of the lower ranks, it is absolutely impossible to have any hope, what bargaining chips does he have to make a prime minister, a second-class member of the imperial court, leave everything for him and take such a risk?
And these doubts, I'm afraid that only Li Xian in front of him can give him an answer!
Li Hong looked at Li Xian with a serious face, with a cold look on his face, I don't know why, but he just had an intuition, Li Xian would tell him.
"Hahaha, fifth brother, fifth brother, you finally have to ask for my day!"
Li Xian was silent for a long time, and suddenly burst into laughter, and his originally calm expression vaguely became a little crazy.
However, this sentence made Li Hong slightly stunned, not because of Li Xian's unexpected reaction, but because in his impression, this was the first time that Li Xian called him with the title "Fifth Brother"!
"Actually, you didn't come today, no, with your intelligence, how could you not come? You'll know the truth! ”
After laughing for a while, Li Xian finally calmed down, but his tone became unusually cold, making Li Hong's brows frown slightly.
"Liu Renliang got on the big ship of my Yongwang Mansion, how could he still go down?"
A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Li Xian's face suddenly turned extremely cold. (To be continued.) )
