Chapter 11: A Nightmare for the Future
Just as the thieves came downstairs to the Spring Breeze Building.
They were about to walk in when a voice called out to them.
"Where are you going?"
Li Qi turned his head, and it turned out to be Li Lin.
The two couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Li Qi said: "Let's go in and have a little wine. ”
Li Lin looked at the top, the lights were red, willows, and green swallows were dancing.
"What is this place?"
"Hey, this is a place to enjoy singing and dancing, it's ordinary." Li Qi said.
Li Lin didn't know what kind of place this was, and sneered: "That's a brothel." ”
Zhao Zhen sighed: "Don't talk so ugly in the girl's house, the girls in it don't sell their bodies." ”
"You go home quickly, don't worry about our man's business." Li Qi pushed Li Lin away.
"Can't go!" Li Lin roared.
The two were stunned at the same time.
"Why?" They felt that Li Lin was a little abnormal at the moment.
This question made Li Lin a little embarrassed, yes, why, what reason did he have to stop them.
She looked at Zhao Zhen and was speechless.
"Let's go home." Li Qi said.
He didn't want his sister to stand in this kind of place for too long.
In the end, Li Lin watched them enter the Chunfeng Building, and his heart was mixed.
Is this what the Kyoshi man does?
His brother, in her memory, has always had ambitions and ideals.
There is also Zhao Zhen, who is very likely to be his future husband, but he watched him enter this kind of flowery and willow-green place, but he couldn't stop it.
Li Lin stood for a long time, and finally sighed.
She returned home lonely.
The room was decorated to look like a military camp, and a map of the mountains was placed on the table in the middle, which she made herself, and used sand to enclose the model of the mountains and rivers.
Looking at the sand table, she seemed to be back in the barracks. Li Lin walked around the mountain map several times, and his mind was in turmoil.
In the Chunfeng Building, in the exquisitely arranged room, several singers sang and danced.
Zhao Zhen and Li Qi touched a glass of wine, and the two drank it tacitly.
Li Qi lowered his voice and said in a volume that only Zhao Zhen could hear: "The emperor has already moved the idea of re-establishing the crown prince. ”
Zhao Zhen slowly put down the wine glass, and a chill flashed in his smile: "Father has long had this thought, but he can't make up his mind who to choose......"
Ever since he hit the prince with a ball, Zheng Guogong has often had nightmares.
I dreamed that I was dragged to the court by a group of sergeants and executed him.
After waking up, although he knew that this could not become a reality, it would also make him squeeze in a cold sweat.
On this day in the court, his opponent Prime Minister Wei Ang coldly ridiculed him:
"Why, did you hear that the emperor was going to cut the salary, and I couldn't sleep with fear? You old nobles often eat and drink for nothing, and you don't have the slightest shame. ”
Zheng Guogong pulled his sleeves: "You use power for personal gain behind your back, and you are narrow-minded and harsh, so you are embarrassed to talk about me?" ”
Wei Ang sneered: "The entire capital knows that your grandson Li Qi is a gentleman. ”
The two have always been like fire and water.
Zheng Guogong didn't give in at all, "Then I at least have a grandson, unlike you who don't even have a grandson at your age." ”
This directly exposed the shortcomings of the opponent, Prime Minister Wei Ang has a son, and after working hard for so many years, he can't give birth to a grandson.
Everyone in the court knew that he had lost half of the hair on his head because of this incident.
Hearing him say this, the prime minister was immediately enraged,
"You old horseman!"
"You old bastard!"
The two of them moved almost at the same time in the court.
"Stop!"
Drink with a command!
The Emperor had already sat on the dragon chair.
"I asked you to come to the meeting to settle a big matter, so you don't want to hold on to personal grudges."
Zheng Guogong and Wei Ang glared at each other. Stand on both sides coldly and automatically separate.
The emperor said: "Today's matter is too important, I thought about it repeatedly, and finally decided to make a prince!" ”
All the people in the court are ossified.
This is too big, and it is the foundation of the country.
Many years ago, the emperor made his eldest son the crown prince, and everything was natural, but he didn't expect that the eldest son of the emperor had just become an adult, and he had a serious illness and died of illness.
Since then, the emperor has never appointed a crown prince, and it has been delayed until today.
Among the nine sons of the current emperor, the most prestigious are the third prince Zhao Jun and the sixth prince Zhao Kuo.
The three princes, the first of several princes in terms of ability, have done a good job in the things that the emperor has explained over the years, and they are very popular in the court.
Since the second prince, King Rong, announced his withdrawal from the throne many years ago, the third prince, who gave priority to the eldest son, was almost the first candidate.
Zhao Kuo, the sixth prince, is also a very capable person.
Unlike other princes, he has been on the battlefield in important wars in the past few years, and he has taken the lead, because the other sons of the emperor are relatively mediocre, the sixth is particularly good.
Although he is not as virtuous as the third child, he has a great advantage - his mother is the current queen.
So there is a problem, is it to establish a successor or a long-term leader?
The main hall was immediately divided into two factions, each arguing about its own words.
Zheng Guogong felt surprised in his heart, he could see that the emperor's favorite was the Ninth Emperor Prince Zhao Zhen, but no one in the court spoke for him today, which made him feel angry.
He just pointed at Zhao Zhen and turned over!
Inside King Rong's Mansion.
King Rong fiddled with the flowers and plants, listening to the people who came to report the affairs of the court. Lehe said: "It is long overdue to canonize the crown prince, otherwise it will be messed up." ”
Yuan Shu stood up: "Father, you are now the emperor's eldest son, and it stands to reason that your prestige should be the highest."
"My son! Isn't it good to have food and drink now, and enjoy glory and wealth? Why do you have to grab that hot chair? ”
"I think you're capable." Yuan Shu was unwilling.
King Rong smiled and explained to him: "Take a step back and say, even if I go to fight, have you ever seen an emperor lame?" I was destined to be an idle prince. ”
Yuanshu looked at his father's right leg and secretly felt sorry.
"It's not a curse, it's a blessing." King Rong said to his son.
Yuan Shu was depressed, stopped talking, took a bow and arrows and went to the school grounds.
As soon as I arrived, I saw Li Lin from a distance, and he was also there.
"Long time no see!"
Li Lin greeted her with a smile
"Hmm."
Yuanshu was indifferent and didn't want to talk to her more.
"You're not still mad at me, are you?" Li Lin smashed him with his arm.
Yuanshu looked at the sword in her hand.
"With all due respect, sister, you still don't want to ride a horse and practice swords here, a woman still learns to embroidery, fighting is a man's business after all, if you indulge in these, you won't be able to marry in the future."
Such a serious sentence came out of the mouth of a young man like him, and Li Lin felt quite cute.
"Actually, my swordsmanship is very powerful, do you need to compare it?" Li Lin asked.
"I'm no longer interested in anything more than you."
Yuanshu's voice was cold, and he picked up his bow and shot an arrow at the target in the distance.
Zheng Guogong anxiously found the Lan Daoist who was still meditating.
"Shangxian, today the court said about the establishment of the crown prince, the third prince and the sixth prince have the highest voice, and there is no share of the nine princes, you can guide it."
The Taoist priest waved his hand, "Just let everything go naturally, don't force it." ”
Zheng Guogong was anxious:
"It's about ...... me"
He retracted his words.
"This is the lifeblood of the country! Can't you just give a hint? ”
"This is a heavenly opportunity, and it can't be leaked."
Zheng Guogong returned in frustration, thinking of the words of the emperor in the court, he always felt uneasy in his heart.
At night, Zheng Guogong, who had been sleepless for a long time, finally reluctantly fell asleep, but had another strange dream.
Outside Chang'an Street.
A large number of soldiers and horses gathered, the wind gusted, the wind surged, and a soldier ran to the front of the commander to report quickly:
"Your Highness, Zhao Zhen refuses to come out!"
The person called His Royal Highness turned around and turned around, and it turned out to be Yuanshu.
At this time, he had grown up, and his face was not half immature, but more cold and gloomy.
He looked inside the city and said sharply, "Please go again!" Tell Zhao Zhen that if you don't come out again, I will burn down the palace! ”
"Burn !!"
"Burn !!"
The voices of the warriors were as magnificent as bells, resounding in the sky......
Zheng Guogong opened his eyes abruptly and sat up.
He gasped and thumped his chest.
What's going on with the dream just now, it's really terrible!
This...... Absolutely not true!
