Chapter 173: The Assassination Begins
Li Zhishen turned his head sideways, looked at Li Changfeng, who suddenly clenched his wine glass, and chuckled: "Ninth brother, what's wrong?" It feels like you're nervous. ”
Li Changfeng took a sip of wine lightly and smiled uninhibitedly.
"Brother Huang laughed, I have nothing to be nervous about. It's just because there is no one in my arms, and I feel stuffy. It's a pity, this is not a private banquet, otherwise it is comfortable to hold a beautiful woman in your arms and look at the song and dance in front of you. It's boring to sit here empty. ”
Hearing this bastard's words, Li Zhishen's brows furrowed suddenly, and he said in a serious tone: "Ninth brother, my father is sitting there now, you should pay attention to what you do." ”
Li Changfeng cut a sound, propped his elbows on the table, and his hands supported his chin, and said with a lazy and tired look: "I'm not like you, I ask for something." So naturally how comfortable I am. ”
"You! The ninth brother should pay attention to what he says, and be careful that trouble comes out of his mouth. ”
Li Zhishen was made a little ugly by Li Changfeng's big words.
However, considering that the emperor was sitting on top of him, it was naturally impossible for him to fall out with Li Changfeng.
can only rely on his status as an imperial brother to say a few words to him.
But Li Changfeng is a wonder among the many children of the royal family.
He doesn't care what brothers, friends and brothers he is, he has always given a good face to whoever he is willing to give, and he never cares what the emperor thinks of him.
Li Zhishen saw that Li Changfeng ignored him, and he didn't bother himself, so he found a minister who was good friends with him and drank it.
The emperor on the throne was drunk, his face was flushed, and he talked freely with the ministers below him, and infinitely exaggerated his exploits, and then listened to the ministers to boast about him.
The ministers are worthy of being literati, and all kinds of praise are not the same, and there is no cultural background, and I can't hear what they are praising at all.
Mu Yunqian, who watched this, was dumbfounded, for the first time he knew that patting sycophants could be so fresh and refined.
The moon outside the house was hanging high, and the minister's praise made the emperor a little fluttering for a while, and he had been happy.
Mu Yunqian has been paying attention to the situation outside, and has been waiting until the moon is in the middle of the sky, and the assassination has not come.
This made Mu Yunqian frown, could it really be because the location of the emperor's southern tour had changed, so the assassination disappeared!
Just when Mu Yunqian was worried, and even regretted that his family's opportunity to rise disappeared again.
The emperor suddenly became interested and said, "Why don't we play a game?" ”
Although the ministers didn't know what the emperor was crazy again, they still agreed very well.
The emperor played a very simple game, which was to throw the pot.
And throwing pots will inevitably use arrows.
Because Mu Zheng, who didn't have time to make wooden arrows, was a little embarrassed for a while.
However, the emperor waved his hand and said: "What's the point of using those fake ones, just throw arrows, can you still hurt me?" Someone came and took a pot of arrows from the guards outside. ”
Li Changfeng looked at the emperor who was about to take a bow and arrow, and remembered Mu Yunqian's words just now, and just wanted to stop it, but saw that the queen shook her head at him.
Seeing this, Li Changfeng's original intention to stop also faded.
At this moment, the emperor is having fun, and if anyone hinders his interest, he will definitely be unlucky.
This pitcher was also played, and the drunkenness on the emperor's face became more and more prevalent.
actually played a human target, saying that it was the force of various young officials who tested the school on the spot.
This made all the officials look at each other, but in the end, the emperor could only shoot arrows one by one.
The so-called human target is a small eunuch holding an apple or other thing, standing dozens or hundreds of steps away, and the ministers shoot arrows.
Then we'll see who can shoot, and if one goes through the center of the object, that person will come out on top tonight.
The little eunuchs, who were the targets, trembled one by one, so frightened that they didn't know how many pees they were. Weichang
But the emperor didn't pay any attention to it, but became more and more interested.
The people present are all Wenchen, who doesn't know the six courtesies of a gentleman, maybe there are still people who are masters of riding and archery.
But now, they have been up and down in the officialdom for more than ten years, and the accuracy of their archery is really pitiful.
The little eunuch, who was the target of the people, had already been shot in the arm or other parts of the body.
However, this cruel activity has not been stopped by the emperor.
This made Mu Yunqian feel chills in his heart, especially when he saw that after those ministers shot the eunuchs, not only did they not feel guilty, but they said happily to the emperor.
"The minister's technique is not refined."
The smiling faces full of flattery, looking at Mu Yunqian, there was a feeling of nausea in his heart.
The moon was getting higher and higher, and Mu Yunqian's thoughts gradually drifted outside the door.
At this time, the emperor seemed to suddenly remember the Mu family.
He said: "Mu Qing, I heard that you have two sons, who can be civil and martial. I don't know if I can bring my son here today to show us a hand. ”
Hearing this, Mu Zheng's face stiffened, and he hurriedly took two steps forward, stood not far in front of the emperor, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the grass people's sons are all out of the house, so the grass people did not bring their sons to pay their respects to the holy face today." ”
Hearing this, the emperor sighed, looked at the woman in blue sitting beside Mu Zheng, and asked, "Then you brought your daughter today." ”
Hearing this question, Mu Zheng Mu Yunqian, as well as Li Changfeng's cautiousness, suddenly raised it.
They were really afraid that the emperor would have a whim and included Mu Yunqian in the harem.
The emperor is fifty and two years old this year, and he can be Mu Yunqian's grandfather according to his age!
Mu Zheng didn't want to bring this topic to his daughter, but he had to answer this question.
He could only suppress the bitterness on his face and stepped forward and said, "Back to the emperor, it is true that he brought the daughter of the grass people." ”
The emperor didn't pay attention to this matter after a sigh, obviously not interested in Mu Yunqian.
This made all four people present breathe a sigh of relief.
Among them, Li Changfeng reacted the most intensely.
He was genuinely afraid that the woman he loved would become a concubine in his father's palace.
If his father was really ready to include Mu Yunqian in the harem today, then Li Changfeng didn't know what kind of thing he would do.
In fact, the emperor didn't have much interest in Mu Zheng's daughter, he just asked casually, and then regretted that he brought his daughter instead of his son.
Earlier, the eunuch said that the emperor liked the Mu family, a post station built for him.
It's because he likes it, so the emperor wants to take it for himself.
But if you take this house into your arms under inexplicable circumstances, it will be too ugly to be the emperor of a country.
So the emperor has always wanted to find a reason to give the Mu family a little sweetness.
Then he could logically take this magnificent and exquisite inn into his arms.
However, now it seems that this is not possible.
This made the emperor a little lacking in interest.
Just when the expression on the emperor's face was obviously not very good, a woman's shout suddenly came.
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
