"One son is brave, and he is willing to fight for his father's emperor to quell the rebellion, one is for his father's health, the second is for the people of the world, and the third is for me to die in the Western Expeditionary Army, hoping that my father will agree!"

When the crown prince Li Wei said this, except for Li Shen and Li Shou, the rest of the princes were stunned, unable to understand what evil the prince Li Wei had fallen into, and was ready to bury all the rights under his control.

At present, who in Jijing doesn't know that the Luoyang battlefield is a Yama Palace, but all the martial arts halls and Wenchen who were sent there, as long as they were favored by the rebel general, none of them came back alive, even if it was Wu Bang, the general of the dynasty, wasn't he killed by the thief?

Even the younger brother of the crown prince Li Wei, the fifth prince Li Cheng, looked at the battle of Li Shou in Chapter 66 (3) to his brother with puzzled eyes.

The entire apse of the Heart Cultivation Hall was silent.

"Second brother, do you want to recruit yourself?" Li Ji, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty who was resting on the dragon couch before, also sat up on the couch in shock by this sentence and looked at his son in dismay.

Prince Li Wei knelt on one knee in front of the dragon couch, bowing his head, so that people couldn't see what his expression was at this time, but his words were so righteous and righteous.

"Erchen knows that Erchen's martial arts are not as good as the fourth, and the literature is not as good as the eighth, but at present, the fourth is guarding the border passes, and it is difficult to draw troops to move without permission, so as not to be taken advantage of by the Beirong thieves: Moreover, Jiangnan is still unstable, and the eighth still needs to appease the Jiangnan army and people... As a prince and a brother and brother, Erchen should set an example, share his father's worries, and serve my Great Zhou! ”

"My son has this intention, I am very pleased" Da Zhou Tianzi was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and nodded again and again, but in the end, he still shook his head, chuckled and said, "But you are the prince, and once you pass the prince, how can you move without permission?" In the matter of the rebellion in Luoyang, I was asked to let the prince of Da Zhou personally go out to fight, "Where is my Da Zhou's face?" ”

"Father's ......"

"Alright, don't say any more! Let's do it together! The Son of Heaven smiled and waved his hand, but there was a bit of unquestionable tone in his words.

"But the battle of Li Shou in Chapter 66 of the Emperor of the Father (3), although the Luoyang rebels are not ringworm, but the sons heard that the minor illness will not be removed.

In the end, it will become a big disaster, if it is not vigorously and resolutely exterminated, in the future, thieves everywhere will follow suit."

Lost big? When the time comes, it will no longer be a matter of my big week's loss of face! ”

Da Zhou Tianzi frowned slightly, and before he could express his opinion, "The courtiers in the Heart Cultivation Hall are already talking about it.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right!"

"Your Majesty, the Luoyang rebels have become a climate" if they are not eliminated as soon as possible, I'm afraid it's not good! ”

"But even so, you can't ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to recruit in person!

If you don't follow the edict to transfer back to the Four Highnesses, with the bravery of the Four Highnesses, the Luoyang rebels are not a problem! ”

"Didn't you hear His Highness the Crown Prince? 、

Fourth, His Highness guards the northern frontier, "How can you leave without permission?" Since the defeat four or five years ago, the northern Wairong has always thought about revenge, "Over the years, if it weren't for the Fourth Highness guarding the northern frontier, how could the northern frontier be so peaceful?" First, for the sake of the Luoyang rebels, the four highnesses were transferred out of northern Xinjiang, that is because of the small loss, the loss of the other! ”

Duke Yin looked at the impassioned courtier silently, it is not difficult to guess that this courtier is most likely from the prince's faction, otherwise how could he care so much about whether the fourth prince Li Mao returns to Jijing?

Up to now, the abacus of the crown prince Li Wei, most of the Duke of Yin has guessed, it is nothing more than to balance the four princes and the eighth prince on the one hand, so that the two of them are bound in northern Xinjiang and Jiangnan, on the other hand, to eradicate the political enemies who are difficult with him in Jijing as soon as possible, further grasp the power of the imperial court, and turn the imperial court into a hall of his crown prince Li Wei, so that even if the fourth prince and the eighth prince return to Jijing in the future, he is not afraid.

Thinking of this, Duke Yin quietly glanced at the third prince Li Shen, and secretly thought in his heart: It seems that the target of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince this time is most likely this ......

Sure enough, at the same time that Duke Yin looked at Li Shen, the prince finally made a fuss, only to see that his face was full of indignation, and he said impassionedly, "This Great Zhou is my Li family's world, how can I tolerate a thief to show off his might?" Now I don't have to go to Jijing, brothers, who can act on my behalf, eradicate the evil spirits, and raise the prestige of my Great Zhou Li family?!

The third brother, in addition to being a brother, among the brothers, you are the eldest, why don't you go to Luoyang on behalf of your father and brother, and let those thieves see the ability of my Da Zhou Li family's disciples? ”

As soon as these words came out, not only the princes were shocked, but even the courtiers led by the imperial historian Meng Rang were stunned.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to borrow a knife to kill someone?

At this moment, the imperial historian Meng Rang finally understood the intentions of the crown prince Li Wei, but unfortunately, he did not see the deeper conspiracy.

Facing the embarrassment of the crown prince Li Wei, even though Li Shen had already heard about this matter from Li Shou and Wang Dan, he still had no way to deal with it.

A trace of unbearability flashed in Yin Gong's eyes, and he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he gave up, after all, he didn't want to be involved in the whirlpool of the imperial heir competition anymore.

But even so, as the most trusted courtier of the Great Zhou Emperor, Yin Gong felt that he still needed to remind the Son of Heaven, so Yin Gong looked at Li Ji, the Great Zhou Heavenly Son who was sitting on the dragon couch, and unexpectedly found that the gaze of Li Ji, the Son of Heaven, who looked at the crown prince Li Wei, was no longer as surprised as Fang Cai, but mixed with some obscure looks, and disappeared in a flash.

Maybe it was because he noticed the gaze of Yin Gong when he looked at him, Da Zhou Tianzi looked back at him deeply, and the forty-year friendship made Yin Gong even understand the deep meaning in Da Zhou Tianzi's eyes: wait and see.

Your Majesty! You can see it!

Yin Gong smiled faintly, and no longer had much to do, he watched coldly, but secretly sighed in his heart.

For more than 30 years, the world has almost forgotten it, forgetting that it was the male lord in front of him who more than doubled the territory of the Great Zhou.

As Yin Gong guessed, Li Ji, the great Zhou Tianzi who made Xie An have to deal with carefully, would be deceived by such a small trick as Prince Li Wei.

As a father, the Son of Heaven was saddened by his son's persecution of his brother so much, but as the monarch of the Great Zhou, Li Ji did not dislike the approach of the crown prince Li Wei, on the contrary, he admired that the crown prince Li Wei could think of this plan to retreat.

After all, the battle between the emperor and the heir is not a child's play, Li Ji, who has experienced it personally, knows the danger too well, looking at the kings of the past dynasties, which one is not a ruthless hero?

What the?

As an emperor, the first thing to pay attention to is gentleness?

Ah, it was because of the so-called gentle, benevolent and righteous monarch that the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed by him Li Ji with only 60,000 elite troops!

Perhaps some people in this person will suspect that the fourth prince Li Mao has repelled Beirong's current "prestige is close to the emperor of the Great Zhou, but the son of heaven has not said anything."

In fact, the reason is very simple, although the battle of the fourth prince Li Mao is very good, but compared to the Great Zhou Tianzi Li Ji when he was young, "it is not enough to see, after all, when Li Ji was young, he used a mere 60,000 elite divisions to destroy the entire Southern Tang Dynasty, and incorporated Jingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou and other large areas of land into the land of the Great Zhou.

It is precisely because of this that "as he gets older and older, Li Ji feels more and more guilty of the original sin, so he has more than once reduced the taxes and taxes of the counties in the south of the Yangtze River." He also asked the eighth prince Li Xiandai to visit Jiangnan on his behalf" to make up for the heinous murders he committed in Jiangnan when he was young.

In fact, to be honest, the second son Li Wei is actually not the best candidate for the crown prince in the heart of the son of heaven Li Ji, even now, the emperor of the Great Zhou still feels that the position of the prince is none other than his eldest son Li Yong.

The crown prince Li Yong back then, that was the best prince in the eyes of the imperial court and the market."

Gentle and humble, it can be said that Wen can raise the pen to calm the world, and Wu can go to Ma to set the world" Li Ji always believes that his eldest son Li Yong will definitely be able to become a better ancient monarch than him.

But what the Son of Heaven never expected was that a disease out of adaptation to the soil and water took away the young life of the former prince Li Yong, and it was still when he triumphed.

The death of the crown prince Li Yong dealt a great blow to the son of heaven Li Ji, after all, the former was the future king of the Great Zhou Dynasty that he personally cultivated, but it was a pity that the providence made people.

After that, according to the advice of the courtiers, Li Ji, the son of heaven, promoted the second son Li Wei to the crown prince, not that Li Wei was so good, but just followed the orderly training of the elders and young.

In all fairness, whether it is the second son Li Wei, or the fourth son Li Mao, or the eighth son Li Xian, in the eyes of the Great Zhou Tianzi, they are not as good as the late former prince Li Yong.

The second son Li Wei is narrow-minded, this is an emperor's taboo, you must know that as the king of a country, you can be ruthless, but you must have the strength to tolerate people and the world, how many people in Jiangnan scolded him Li Ji is a tyrant, how unbearable the scolding is, but he Li Ji has ever blamed them a little? After incorporating Jiangnan into the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Li Ji still governed Jiangnan with etiquette, and repeatedly reduced Jiangnan's taxes and servitude, because this is a necessary instrument to be the king of a country!

The fourth son, Li Mao, has been repeatedly evaluated by the courtiers as having the style of the former prince Li Yong, but in the eyes of the son of heaven Li Ji, he is not qualified enough, just from these years Li Mao has repeatedly led the army to reform the grassland, killing the grassland tribe to retreat hundreds of miles north, it can be seen that this person is the king of killing, although he has the strength to make people surrender, but he does not have the charm of making people happy.

To put it bluntly, Li Mao's domineering anger is too great, if he is allowed to inherit the throne, he will be fine at the time, but once he dies, then Da Zhou will face the danger of overthrowing the country.

As for the eighth son Li Xian, he is just the opposite of the fourth son Li Mao, advocating governing the country with benevolence and righteousness, and paying attention to etiquette and law in everything, but in the eyes of Li Ji, the son of heaven, he lacks the courage and temperament to kill and be resolute.

Once, Li Ji and Yin Gong joked that if the fourth son Li Mao and the eighth son Li Xian could become one, he would also be willing to pass on the throne to them, although it was a joke, but it was enough to prove that Li Ji attached great importance to his heir.

In fact, to put it mildly, the crown prince Li Wei is just the name of the temporary prince, and Yin Gong is also very clear about this, he knows that Li Ji, the son of heaven, is still observing and observing the growth of his three sons.

It's a pity that Li Ji, the son of heaven, is already over fifty years old, and the Luoyang rebels have a great impact on Li Ji, so he deliberately accelerated his previous plan and ordered the crown prince Li Wei to supervise the country, in order to see what his sons thought about it and what they did next.

No, the prince Li Wei's ruthlessness and lack of regard for brotherhood were really looked down upon by Li Ji, the son of heaven.

As a father, Li Ji must correct his son's wrong concept, but as a monarch, he can only wait and see what happens, in his opinion, the so-called battle between the emperor and the heir "is no different from the steps of raising a cup in Nanban witchcraft, it is nothing more than the survival of the fittest, the strong are kings, not that he is ruthless, because he knows that this world is the way of the jungle."

Therefore, when he noticed the plan of the crown prince Li Wei, the son of heaven Li Ji did not say that "it was just forbidden that nothing happened, and watched the reactions of the rest of the sons, especially the third son Li Shen, after all, the fourth son Li Mao and the eighth son Li Xian are not in Jijing's eyes" Only Li Shen can compete with the crown prince Li Wei.

As for the rest of the sons, just looking at their stunned and overwhelmed expressions, the Great Zhou Emperor was already disappointed.

The Son of Heaven looked at Li Shen quietly, and for some reason, he couldn't help but think of Xie An's appearance in his mind.

【

Your Majesty, I think it is self-confidence! 】

Assertive!

Even if it's guts!

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old son of Guangling Hanmen "can be above the palace test" in front of so many students, in front of all the ministers of the court, in front of me, said those heroic words, so what about you, the third child?

Do you dare, do you dare to stand up?

He secretly said in his heart, "The Son of Heaven looked deeply at the third prince Li Shen, but the latter's hesitant look made him feel very disappointed, even though he knew that his son had always acted cautiously and never did things that he was not sure of.

Useless idiot!

Could it be that I will really tell you to send Luoyang to death?

The Son of Heaven was disappointed in his heart.

Just as he was about to speak to end this farce, suddenly, he noticed that his ninth son, Li Shou, stood up...

"In addition to the second brother who is His Royal Highness the Prince, the third brother is the oldest, if the third brother is asked to go to Luoyang to confront the rebels, it is inevitable that some thieves will be arrogant and destroy my prestige in the Great Zhou, the younger brother is not talented, I am willing to go for the third brother!"

"Xiao Jiu? You" Li Shen looked at Li Shou in disbelief, where would he have thought that he, who had just said that he wanted to join forces with him to deal with the crown prince Li Wei, would help himself out of the siege at such a cost, he couldn't help but be greatly moved.

"You?" Prince Li Wei frowned.

Looking up at the crown prince Li Wei, Li Shou Zhengse said, "Although the younger brother is young, he also has the blood of the Datong Li family on his body......"

With the Son of Heaven by his side, the crown prince Li Wei naturally didn't dare to taunt Li Shou like before, and said coldly when he heard this, "Xiao Jiu, you have been nesting in the Anle Mansion all these years, are you sure that you can deal with the rebels in Luoyang?" ”

"Nope!" In front of everyone's eyes, Li Shou shook his head and said righteously, "It's just that the second brother said that this matter is about the face of my Great Zhou royal family, and I want those arrogant thieves to take a look at the strength of my Great Zhou Li family!" …

Among the brothers, only the youngest brother is the youngest, even if he goes to Luoyang, he will not let the Luoyang rebels get carried away! ～

Does the second brother think so? ”

The crown prince Li Wei opened his mouth and was speechless, after all, Li Shou used his words to gag his mouth.

It turned out to be Xiao Jiu?

Li Ji, the son of heaven, could not hide the consternation in his heart, and looked at Li Shou quietly, thinking to himself in his heart.

My youngest son, who has always been in peace, has never done anything amazing, how can he ...... today

Was it simply moved by the righteousness of the prince's mouth?

Or did he see that the prince was difficult for the third child, and took the initiative to come forward to fight for the third child?

Wrong......

Looking at Li Ji deeply, Li Ji, the son of heaven, suddenly had a strange idea.

It seems that his youngest son has already expected this situation, just waiting for the most appropriate opportunity to interject, one by one, especially when he saw the unconcealable gratitude and emotion in the eyes of the third son Li Shen when he looked at Li Shou, the son of heaven Li Ji was even more convinced of his guess.

Could it be that his seemingly mediocre little son still has this talent?

Wrong!

Someone is teaching him behind his back!

Divine...... Does the second brother think so? 】

Recalling Li Shou's closing remarks when he spoke, Li Ji, the Son of Heaven, suddenly felt an inexplicable familiarity, and he vaguely remembered that above the previous palace examination, some people used this form of words and sentences to ask him, and he was speechless.

Could it be that kid?

Xie An's appearance faintly appeared in his mind, and a trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of Li Ji, the son of heaven.

In this way, his youngest son finally can't stand the identity of Prince Anle and is ready to intervene in this battle for the emperor's heir?

Li Ji, the Son of Heaven, looked at Li Shou silently, without saying a word, and looked at Li Shou with a bit of indescribable obscurity in his eyes.

At the same time, Duke Yin also looked at Li Shou with a shocked face, and he felt that he seemed to have underestimated this Ninth Highness too much.

What a clever plan to kill three birds with one stone!

not only quietly destroyed the intention of the crown prince Li Wei to murder the third prince Li Shen", but also won the praise of the Son of Heaven, and even sold a great favor to the third prince Li Shen.

Such meticulous planning......

Yin Gong frowned slightly.

It's not quite right, the tone of this talent under the Ninth Highness "Whether it is the subtlety of the words or the speechless eloquence, it doesn't look like him on weekdays, but a bit like Xie An's little guy......

Wait, speaking of which, that little guy is the henchman of His Royal Highness the Nine, so his resourceful granddaughter who is comparable to a demon is also involved?

Thinking of this, Yin Gong couldn't cry or laugh, after all, he was still guessing which master was teaching this Nine Emperor Prince Li Shou behind his back.

He glanced at Li Shou quietly.

Li Shou obviously didn't notice the elusive look when Yin Gong looked at him, "At this moment, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

After yesterday's banquet, Li Shou still remembers it vividly.

After all, after yesterday's banquet, "Xie An and eldest grandson Xiangyu made extremely thorough preparations about what Li Shouhui encountered".

First, the eldest grandson Xiangyu, who is good at grasping people's hearts, guessed the various situations that Li Shou would encounter, and then Xie An, who was quick and wise, came up with a way to deal with it for him......

【

Whether the prince invites you or not, you have to go, and it's best to go with Li Shen... By the way, speaking of which, the Son of Heaven hasn't seen you for a few days, according to the little woman."

Most of them will talk to you......]

Wait, Xiangyu!

Li Shou, if Your Majesty asks you how you are doing recently, you can do this, deliberately glance at the prince first, with a little anger on his face, and then say to His Majesty, "Erchen has been doing well lately......]

Indistinct! After a good move, it will be sent to people, killing two birds with one stone! ~Hee-hee, he is worthy of being a man valued by the slave family...............]

Wonderful!

You continue to ......]

Crack!

Li Shou, you remember, when the prince made a statement to embarrass Li Shen, don't stand up immediately, wait first, and when Li Shen is forced to do it, you will come forward again This joy of dying in a desperate situation will definitely make him very grateful to you! 】

Attach! also want to express that he is not willing to come forward, but he also does not want the prince to succeed, in this case, Li Shen will definitely regard you as a confidant! One you do side let's see! One what? Don't understand? You still don't understand it so clearly? 】

Pairs! Wrong! Stupid! Xie An, how did you teach him? 】

Russia did its best!

I said, Your Highness Shou, don't be so stiff on your face, okay?

What about the action? Body language is also a very important part of language, don't make me repeat it many times,........., do it again! 】

… It's only grown a little bit, but I'm afraid I can't hide it from some people, oops, it's really the master who taught it......]

Limit feeding, you didn't hear me, did you?

Well, it's really much better than just now, but it's almost, eyes, pay attention to the eyes, I'll show you again, you see,]

Not much, so be it!

A pair of Xie An, you are Dai Lu, right? Buy a beautiful dress for others, you see people are so well-behaved these days......]

Grandma Feng, please spare me, my little silver, it's almost okay to buy you a button, Li Shou, the big problem is that there is no more, the rest depends on you to send a probe on the spot, remember not to lose to yourself! 】

Recalling yesterday's scenes, Li Shou had mixed feelings in his heart.

Who would have thought that his every move today was designed for him by Xie An and Eldest Sun Xiangyu in advance yesterday, and he also demonstrated it countless times in front of the two of them, until the two of them couldn't find any fault.

It was also yesterday that Li Shou was shocked to discover for the first time that when the eldest grandson Xiangyu and Xie An planned something, in terms of planning, it faintly gave people an illusion of almost despair.

The eldest grandson Xiangyu is good at design, and can always accurately grasp people's hearts and grasp the development of the situation, while Xie An is good at creating an atmosphere that is beneficial to him, and I feel that the two of them are good at perceiving problems, and the other is good at solving problems and making up for loopholes.

Of course, it is precisely because of this that he, Li Shou, can stand in the Heart Cultivation Hall at this moment and become the focus of attention in the hall.

Although he was angry that Li Shou had ruined his good deeds, the crown prince Li Wei did not immediately push the boat down the river, and asked Li Shou, as a representative of the Great Zhou royal family, to rush to Luoyang to quell the rebellion, after all, in front of the Son of Heaven!

And Li Ji, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, did not make any comments on Li Shou's rhetoric, but only slightly rewarded a few words.

However, when everyone left the Heart Cultivation Hall one after another, a henchman eunuch beside the Son of Heaven quietly stopped Li Shou.

"Your Highness the Nine, Your Majesty asked Your Highness to ask Your Highness, does Your Highness hate Your Highness?"

Only ,........." Li Shou was silent.

Even if the eldest grandson Xiangyu and Xie An planned for him skillfully, they couldn't imagine that Li Ji, the son of heaven, would ask Li Shou such a question, and even Li Shou himself couldn't think of it.

【

The rest, it's up to you to find out on the spot! Just don't lose to yourself! 】

In Li Shou's ears, Xie An's voice seemed to sound.

I don't hate, right?

No, no, if you say it like this, you will be accused by Miss Changsun and Xie An's kid ...............,

According to Xie An's kid, what would he say?

I don't know what is forbidden, right? Just like this,

Ha? Hate? What hate? Uh, you mean, ask me if I hate my father? Oh, how could it be!

Yes, yes, I should say that......

Thinking of this, Li Shou opened his face slightly and looked at the eunuch with a smile.

"Ahh!!h
