It has been more than half a month since the emperor Bintian, although Chang'an is still in the mourning period, but it still can't stand the small officials and small officials, the heart of the noble children to have fun, the West Qin Building at the entrance of the West Market looks like it is closed and out of business, and the inside is separated by cotton cloth, but it is a noisy scene of singing and dancing, the fast-paced huqin, the fierce Hu Xuan dance of the orchids in the Western Regions, every time it attracts a large group of hidden heads and hidden tails of the sons and brothers loudly. [Eye-fast reading book new domain name., initials, previously registered accounts can still be used]

Sweet wine, there are celebrity calligraphy and paintings hanging in the bright box, and a beautiful girl in front of the stage is still wearing an innocent pure white dress, combing a double ponytail, and is engrossed in playing the red patent leather violin that the scholar has to call Shuo Wangqin, and the elegant voice is rippling.

But in the place where he enjoyed it so much, the one sitting at the table didn't seem to be happy.

"Enough!"

slapped the table suddenly, the music stopped abruptly, and Li Su, who was staring at the girl's chest and drooling with squinting eyes, also trembled suddenly, seeing the gloomy face of his eldest brother Li Ke, Li Jie also had to wave his hand helplessly: "Qin Ji, I played very well today, but my third brother is in a bad mood, you go down first." ”

"Whoa." With a promise, the girl obediently held the violin and bowed, turned to leave, and looked at Li Jie's drooling eyes and followed the others, Li Jie couldn't help but quip: "What? Sixth brother has a crush on it? Qin Ji is one of the granddaughters of the late old Shangshu Tang Jian, the sister-in-law of Tang Yi's sister, because she likes music, she came to my Xiqin Tower to perform, and the door is enough, or the younger brother will poke and make peace with the elder brother? ”

His eyes lit up, Li Su almost agreed, the double ponytails and dresses were all sprouted in later generations, not to mention Datang, but unfortunately, before he could achieve good things, Li Ke slapped the table again in annoyance: "Don't go around in circles anymore, when my father was sick, you said that you would give my brother and me an explanation later, is this time enough?" My brother wants to know, what do you want? ”

Shrinking his neck, Li Jie also looked at it with curiosity, no matter which direction he looked at, Li Jie did not look like a normal prince, he was in the company of businessmen, hoarded armor, and dominated one side, but to say that he had ambitions, he gave up such a good opportunity in the Qinzheng Palace that day, and reached an agreement with the eldest grandson Wuji early, this meal is a farewell banquet, and Li Jie will leave to return to Fujian the day after tomorrow, otherwise Li Ke, who is careful about etiquette, will not come.

"Lao Jiu, listen to my brother's advice, playing with power will not end well in the end, for so many years, the mother concubine is most worried about you, give up?"

Listening to Li Keshanshan's persuasion, Li Jie couldn't help but sigh, but still shook his head: "Third brother, do you think I can still retreat?" ”

Really from the heart, Li Jie has worked so hard all these years, and he Li Ke, the elder brother, is really inseparable, Li Ke in real history is not as conspiracy as in the Zhenguan long song, desperately fighting for the throne, on the contrary, because of his mother's concubine, Li Ke is very disgusted with the power struggle, and he can almost be described as fleeing, he has always fled far away, to be a model prince.

But did he escape? No! In the fourth year of Yonghui, Fang Yiai committed a crime, and Li Ke, who was thousands of miles away and had nothing to do with it, was dragged into the water for no reason, went to Chang'an, and died in the city of Cao, why? Identity is burdened.

The grandson of Emperor Yang of Sui, the son of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the two emperors and the two royal bloodlines are mixed together, bringing not glory, but disaster, it is recorded in the history books, Gaozong once cried and said to the ministers that he wanted to pardon this brother but was refused, whenever he saw this record, Li Jie wanted to laugh, when the emperor was determined to pardon someone, how could the irrelevant ministers fight to stop it, thankless? It was still implied by the edict that even Li Zhi was jealous of him, the elder brother of Tang Taizong who did not know how to praise himself once.

Even if you escape the Yonghui case? His sixth brother Li Su is notorious, eating, drinking and having fun, isn't Wu Zetian Dynasty exiled to Lingnan in vain? Li Jie doesn't want to say one more sentence in the history books, Yonghui on a certain day, a certain year, a certain month, Li Ke, Li Jie, and Li Su, the three brothers conspired against each other, the world knows their injustices, what is the use of injustice, dead is dead!

"If politics does not advance or retreat, there are no bystanders in this game, only the winner and the dead, brother, the fate must be in your own hands, the younger brother can't retreat!" With a heavy hand, Li Jie replied seriously, looking at the prudence on Li Jie's face, Li Ke knew that he couldn't convince this younger brother, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly: "Alas, you can do it yourself." ”

"What's so good to do for yourself, does Lao Jiu want to compete for the throne? Then we have to support ourselves as brothers! These years have been smooth sailing without any twists and turns, and Li Su was confused when he heard it, listening to the two high-IQ brothers playing dumb riddles, the poor King of Shu interjected a few words in a daze, but immediately exchanged for two fists.

"Shut up!"

Holding the bag on the door of his head, Li retracted his head in a daze.

Accompanied his own brother to drink until noon, Li Ke didn't know whether it was sweet or bitter, anyway, when he left, King Wu, who had always had a lot of wine, was actually a little confused.

"Lao Jiu, you can do whatever you want, don't worry about the mother, brother, I'll accompany her!"

Li Shimin died in the past two days, the entire harem has suffered great twists and turns, and all the concubines who have no heirs have been sent to Ganye Temple to become nuns, and even because of grief, Li Shimin's favorite concubine Xu Hui was seriously ill and did not take medicine to follow Emperor Taizong, these two days have been dying, and Li Jie's mother Concubine Yang, who has been bumpy from one court to another since childhood.

Although I also want to accompany him at the bedside, Li Jie still has more things to do, Li Ke's guarantee undoubtedly relieved Li Jie's big worry, nodded gratefully, Li Jie thanked him: "I'm tired of the third brother." ”

"Just stop worrying about the concubine." waved his hand, Li Ke got into the carriage without looking back, but Li Ke was reluctant to pull Li Jie without a heart.

"Lao Jiu, what Manila must leave me in the manor, and Kunlun Nu, don't forget to send a few hundred to me, the black man, I haven't seen it yet, and ......"

"Get in the car!"

Li Ke's roar in the car suddenly made Li Jie tremble, shrugged his shoulders at Li Jie, and followed in a gloomy manner, he was also pitiful as the sixth brother, he was managed by the third brother Li Ke when he was a child, and when he grew up, he was managed by the ninth Li Jie, and he failed enough to sit on the prince, watching the brothers gradually move away from the carriage, and the smile on the corner of Li Jie's mouth gradually faded.

In the evening, three more princely guests arrived on the third floor of the Xiqin Building, but this time the atmosphere was a little tense, more than a dozen guards at the door were on guard, inside the door, a square table, next to Li Jie, Li You stared at the opposite side vigilantly.

Opposite them at the table, but Li Tai and Li Chengqian are a pair of enemies, the true meaning of politics is compromise, before the two were eager to eat each other raw, but now they have reached an amazing agreement in the struggle for the throne.

It's no wonder that the two of them still regard each other as opponents of the same level, who is Li Zhi, and when they were fighting for the throne, that kid was still peeing and playing with mud, let him climb to his head? The two of them might as well die.

Li Chengqian has a criminal record, the throne is estimated to be lost, the power of the two people is all pressed on Li Tai, but the power should not be underestimated, yesterday the eldest grandson Wuji finished talking about Li Jie, but in the afternoon he took his two nephews without a problem, and finally had to bleed Li Jie again and asked him to come out.

also knew Li Jie's current position, the four powerful clans were no longer hugged, Li Chengqian hugged his shoulders, Li Tai leaned arrogantly on the chair, and his fat body crushed the chair and screamed.

"Lao Jiu, the Ming people don't say dark words, you yourself don't have confidence in the throne, it doesn't mean that our brothers don't, Lone will definitely not watch Lao Shi ascend to the throne, even if the eldest grandson and old man promise you something, Lone will not leave Chang'an." Liaodong has been gone for so long, Li Tai has completely lost that bit of fake Sven, and said arrogantly with his legs crossed.

"Hmph, what are you two like, it's just picking up Lao Jiu's peaches to gain a foothold, what qualifications do you have to bark here, even if you fight for this throne, Lao Jiu is the most qualified to fight for it, arrogant something!" Until now, he didn't give up, and before Li Jie could speak, Li You first roared and reprimanded, making Li Taiqi's fat face like a pig's liver.

"Old Five, you are willing to fall by yourself, hold Lao Jiu's stinky feet, don't get involved with our brothers."

"What if Lone is willing to follow the ninth brother before and after the saddle? That's better than you two ambitious lost dogs, too! ”

Without waiting for the negotiation, the two sides were already choking with the smell of gunpowder, and seeing that Li You was about to fight with Li Tai with his sleeves, Li Jie hurriedly cried and laughed and dragged him back.

"Okay, the reason why the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Zhi didn't move us this time is because our four feudatories are hugging together, and now the eldest brother and the fourth brother are competing for the throne, as brothers, we can't say anything if we don't help."

These words are unusual, Li Tai, Li Chengqian, and Li You, who listened to it, all looked at it with round eyes and looked at it in surprise, but saw Li Jie smiling and picking up two pistachios from Persia and throwing them in his mouth, and then clapped his hands and said: "Since the two have decided to fight to the death in Chang'an, then this piece of Goguryeo's hometown is not wanted, in order to prevent this place from falling into the hands of the enemy, when you return to Fujian, you will stop all trade with Goguryeo's hometown, including rice, flour, grain and oil, cloth and cotton clothes, in order to support the great cause of the two elder brothers." ”

"Li Jie, you are demolishing the stage!" Li Tai immediately couldn't sit still, and stood up angrily and accused, Liaodong is in flames, Li Tai has indeed trained a strong army, coupled with the support of the clan, this is where his confidence in fighting for the throne lies, but Liaodong's shortcomings are in the supply, even if Li Tai has grown after taking the governorship of either party, it is not Li Tai's forte to govern government affairs, and most of the grain in Liaodong relies on Fujian imports, which can hit Li Tai's weakness.

Li Chengqian's face is also not good-looking, it is because of the trade of the Tang Dynasty that the Juli Protectorate has the prosperity it has today, and he gathered the unruly former Goguryeo nobles together, and the shocked Yuangai Suwen did not dare to rebel even if he was not there, and Li Chengqian had more ambitions for Liaodong, if he supported Li Tai to ascend the throne, he wanted the entire Liaodong, if it was destroyed by Li Jie, then he would stop the water and be empty.

If the business ties are revoked, the loss to Fujian will also be huge, but Li Jie is not bad at that loss, he is rich, but he is capricious.

"How can you say that the stage is demolished? The battle for the throne must have the mentality of becoming a benevolent if you don't succeed, and the younger brother is to cut off the worries of the two elder brothers! Full of innocence, Li Jie blinked and spread out his hand, looking at his expression, he was about to owe a lot of beating, and suddenly, Li Tai and Li Chengqian's vicious eyes pierced his cheeky skin like sharp arrows.

Several people kept relying on the momentum to compete, Li Tai was engrossed, and his brain was sweating, but Li Jie was always half-dead and absent-minded, and he plucked a few pistachios and threw them in his mouth, for a while, he seemed to be tired of the boring confrontation, and Li Jie yawned again and broke the news of an important news.

"The bigwigs of the military department are tired of waiting, Zhongshu Province has made a plan, recruiting Li Ji, the governor of Shuozhou, Cheng Mingzhen, the head of the Jiangyuan Dao march, and Niu Jinda, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, to return to Chang'an, and plan to send troops on the fifth day of the next month to jointly crusade against Li Yuanjing, the king of Jing, with Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, and this proposal has reached the consensus of the prime ministers of the three provinces."

Li Jie's words made Li Tai's heart cold, the Tang Dynasty is the king and the scholar share the world, and now the competition for the throne depends on who fights for the most support, but listening to Li Jie's words, it seems that the Guanlong family has completely lost patience with the rebellion in the Kanto Sparkling Plain, and will take a stable rear in a short period of time and set the throne.

Those who dare to stop it will be crushed! This is not uncommon in the history of the Guanlong Group, Wei Chi Hui, Gao Cheng and other heroes all died here, originally without Li You's army, their 40,000 army surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Chang'an troops is already one-armed, no matter how you look at it, there is no chance.

In the end, he glared at Li Jie angrily, Li Tai's fat body actually turned around and left, and Li Chengqian hurriedly followed, looking at the whereabouts of the carriage downstairs, it was clearly the eldest grandson's mansion, and seeing the two brothers go away, Li You couldn't help but shake his head with ridicule.

"Okay, our four foreign domains have stabilized again, come, Lao Jiu, in order to celebrate our brothers, have a drink."

"Not today." Li Jie, who didn't want to lean against the window, smiled and waved his hand to refuse, and in Li You's astonishment, Li Jie stretched out his hand and pointed down to the street: "The beauty has an appointment!" ”

Looking at a float, the veiled young woman cautiously touched the side door of Xiqin Tower, and the corner of Li You's mouth immediately showed a smile that all men understand.......
