Chapter Eighty-Seven: Succession

Li Shimin took Concubine Yang to walk in front of the carriage, and the streets were full of officers and soldiers.

On the other side, Changsun Chong took Commander Wu to find the King of Shu, at this time the King of Shu was packing his luggage, as if a catastrophe was coming, and the courtyard where the King of Shu was resting also looked like chickens and dogs jumping at this time, completely no longer the leisure and elegance of the past.

Changsun Chong still looked like a handsome boy with his hands behind his back, but Commander Wu lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Changsun Chong's attitude.

The arrival of Changsun Chong seemed to let the King of Shu find the backbone, and the King of Shu rushed to the front of Changsun Chong in three steps and two steps, pulled his sleeve and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Brother-in-law, you must save me!" ”

Needless to say, Changsun Chong's acting skills naturally went without saying, and asked with a face full of doubts: "Why is this the King of Shu, why did he come to me for help!" ”

Li Su, the king of Shu, looked at the eldest grandson and said, "Brother-in-law, don't you know? The third brother was assassinated! Chang'an City has been sealed, if my father finds out that I secretly returned to Chang'an, he will definitely kill me! ”

Changsun Chong nodded and said that he knew about it, but he sat down on the chair next to him unhurriedly, fiddled with the wrench in his hand, and said after a while: "How do you think I can save you?" ”

Li Su hurriedly approached him when he heard Changsun Chong's question, and said in a slightly tentative tone: "Can you send me out of the city, I promise to leave Chang'an City and return to Yizhou as soon as possible, and honestly be my king of Shu, and I will never return to Chang'an without a holy decree in the future!" ”

Changsun Chong couldn't help but laugh out loud, moved the hand playing with the wrench to Li Su's head, patted the back of his head and said, "You should go and tell the emperor about this, what's the use of assuring me!" ”

Li Su was also a little dissatisfied, looking at the eldest grandson who seemed to be watching his own jokes, and said: "Do you want to help me or not, if you don't help, leave quickly, and I'll figure it out myself!" ”

Changsun Chong's smile became stronger and stronger, as if he was going to grin the corners of his mouth behind his ears, and the little guy on the side was also a little surprised, following Changsun Chong for many years, he had never seen him so happy, he should be happy, after all, the smiles were so bright.

Eldest Sun Chong shook his head with a smile, and looked at Li Su and said, "Help, I must help you, otherwise why would I come all the way for no reason!" ”

Li Yu's eyes lit up, and he looked at Changsun Chong's expression and lost his anger, and hurriedly asked: "Then how do you say I should get out, I heard that all exits and streets in Chang'an City are now blocked by officers and soldiers, brother-in-law, do you have any way?" ”

The eldest grandson shook his finger incomprehensibly, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "When did I say that I helped you escape from Chang'an City?" ”

Li Su's face changed again and again, and this time it finally broke out, pointing at Changsun Chong's nose and saying, "Then what do you mean, are you kidding me?" I don't have time to play games with you, maybe in the next second, an officer or soldier will come to my house and arrest me! ”

Changsun Chong seemed to like to look at Li Su's appearance without a city government, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Calm down, how can you be the emperor in the future!" ”

Li Su's body seemed to be frozen, and he looked at the eldest grandson with wide eyes and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" I? Emperor? My father is still here, are you going to force me to rebel? ”

The eldest grandson Chong seemed to be amused by Li Su's expression again, looked at Li Su and said: "What kind of rebellion, what are you thinking, I mean the forces left by your third brother, do you want to take over, do you want to participate in the seizure of the heir!" ”

Li Su seemed to understand what Changsun Chong meant, and looked at him blankly, his expression seemed to be thoughtful, but he didn't think much about Li Su and shook his head and said: "No, I can't, someone as smart as the third brother has been assassinated, how can I take over his power, no one will obey me, no, no!" ”

Saying that, Li Su was going to go to the house, as if he wanted to speed up his packing and leave this place that haunted him as soon as possible, this place that he loved and hated.

The eldest grandson Chong stopped Li Su, looked into his eyes and said, "Where can you go?" Now that there are officers and soldiers inside and outside Chang'an City, do you still want to leave quietly? The only thing you can do now is to accept my suggestion, as for King Wu's subordinates, they will obey me, I am willing to help you win the last throne, as long as you obediently listen to me! ”

Li Su's eyes seemed to have lost their brilliance, and he thought about the situation at this time, and what kind of situation he would face after leaving this courtyard.

There are two ways in front of him, the first is to leave Chang'an City, but it seems that it is not easy, and now that Chang'an City is under martial law, it is really wishful thinking to escape with his whole body. The second is to follow the advice of the eldest grandson Chong, accept the foundation laid by the third brother before, and participate in the matter of winning the heir, but if this thing is defeated, it will be worse than the first thing, if it is found that he secretly returned to Chang'an, at most he will be beaten and sent back, but as long as he nods his head to participate in the seizure of the heir, there is no turning back.

After thinking about it again, Li Su nodded to Changsun Chong, and then said with a little question: "What should I do at this time?" I can't just stay here and wait for the officers and soldiers to come and pull me out! ”

The eldest grandson Chong answered the question, looked at Li Su's eyes and said, "Does your biological mother Concubine Yang know about your return to Chang'an?" ”

Li Su didn't know what this matter had to do with Concubine Yang, but this was not the time to think too much, Li Su hurriedly replied: "Mother naturally knows, I came back these days to celebrate my mother's birthday!" ”

The eldest grandson snorted, but said indifferently: "Concubine Yang's birthday should be a month later, but you came back a year ago, do you want to come back so long in advance to celebrate your mother's birthday?" You won't tell me that I hunted in the mountains a few days ago to give a congratulatory gift to your mother, and went to the Qinglou restaurant to let your mother hold her grandson in advance? ”

Li Su's face was a little unsightly, he always thought that he would return to Chang'an City quietly, and no one would find out if he acted in a low-key manner, listening to the meaning of Changsun Chong, he was completely aware of the absurdity of his days, and he couldn't care about the embarrassment at this time, and hurriedly asked: "Don't talk nonsense here, what should I do!" ”

Eldest Sun Chong no longer made fun of him, and said: "Since Concubine Yang knows, it's easy to say, what you have to do now is to go to King Wu's Mansion to cry and mourn, and be generous in the past, and I think Concubine Yang should help you solve the matter after that!" ”

Li Su looked puzzled, looked at the eldest grandson and said, "You mean that the concubine is now in the third brother's mansion?" Is the father there? ”

Changsun Chong nodded, looked up at the sky outside, and said as if he was a half-immortal: "Just go at this time, remember to cry and mourn and don't know what is left, hand it over to Concubine Yang, if you leave quickly, you should be able to arrive with the emperor Concubine Yang!" ”

Li Su didn't think much about it, called out the little guy who was still packing up in the house, and ordered: "You guys go ahead and clean up, just wait for me to come back after you clean up, and the valuables are not missing!" ”

Saying that, Li Yu strode out of his other courtyard, not taking a sedan chair or a carriage, running on the street as if he was crazy, and the eldest grandson Chong didn't know when he left, leaving Wu Commander to follow Li Su and wait behind him.

Along the way, Li Su was expressionless, but the slightly raised corners of his mouth seemed to indicate that he was in a good mood, and after looking left and right to make sure that there was no one, Li Su's running footsteps stopped, turned his head to look at Commander Wu, and whispered: "Commander Wu, how are my acting skills!" ”

Commander Wu didn't look at him, he looked straight at the road ahead, and replied without moving his lips: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu's acting skills naturally don't need to be said, King Wu told me when he was in the past, you are more suitable for winning the heir than him, but since King Wu has this idea, you obeyed his wishes and did not participate in the succession, I have followed King Wu for ten years, no one really thinks that I don't know anything!" ”

Li Su shook his head and didn't say anything more, he pretended to be stupid for half his life, at this time, his brother was killed, he naturally had to come forward, what brothers were not in harmony, they turned against each other, and they were forced to Yizhou to be played by the two brothers, how could the descendants of the Li family be naΓ―ve.

"This eldest grandson chong doesn't know what medicine is sold in the gourd, the third brother hasn't mentioned anything about the eldest grandson chong to me before, he hasn't paid attention to the affairs of the court in Yizhou all these years, if it weren't for the third brother who called him back recently, he wouldn't have come back no matter what!"
