Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Chess Game, the Ruling Son Laughs at the People
The crown princess gritted her teeth and asked, "King Rui is not injured, is he?" ”
The prince sneered: "The clown who jumped off the beam, is also worthy of hurting the second brother of the orphan?" ”
The crown princess exclaimed: "That's good." King Rui is the humerus of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the pillar of the country, and it's okay. ”
The crown prince couldn't help but mock: "Should the crown princess ask who died?" Why did he die? ”
The crown princess said: "It's just a grass people, can it be compared to King Rui?" Just give me more money. ”
The prince was furious!
He stood up suddenly, with the green veins on his forehead, pointing at the crown princess, and said after a while:
"Mencius said: 'The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light', the Li family is an example for the world, and there is a short-sighted daughter like you! You, you are the heroine of the East Palace in vain! ”
The crown princess was stunned, and there seemed to be thunder rolling on her head. Since marrying Qi Zihao, she has never seen him lose his temper like this.
She deeply regretted her words, and she should never expose the most unrevealing thoughts in her heart to the prince. The prince has been gentle and elegant all these years, and she almost forgot that Qi Zihao was also the commander of the Haoran Army, and he was also a general who was vertical and horizontal.
She knelt down from her seat and cried: "The concubine is guilty and has the high hopes of the prince. In the future, we must repent, be cautious in our words and deeds, and reorganize military discipline! ”
The crown prince looked up to the sky and sighed: "If Xi'er is still alive, how can you allow you to lead the women's army astray!" That's it, this sacrifice ceremony, the crown princess does not have to participate. Mr. Lone has to give an explanation to his father and the people of the world! ”
He staggered away, grimacing.
The crown princess collapsed on the ground.
Li Xiaojie came to hear the news and helped Li Xu up.
But when he saw Li Xu's eyes showing a fierce light, there was no trace of tears. She gritted her teeth and said, "What a white-eyed wolf! If it wasn't for the help of my Li family, he would have been able to achieve positive results. Qi Xi is a cheap breed of unknown origin, and he is also worthy of the admiration of the world! ”
Li Xiaojie looked at her steadily, shook his head and asked, "Niangniang actually has such a thought?" ”
Li Xu said hatefully: "Isn't it? ”
Li Xiaojie sighed: "Does Niangniang want to hear the truth? ”
Li Xuhu looked at Li Xiaojie suspiciously and asked, "What is the truth?" Brother, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it. ”
Li Xiaojie swallowed his saliva and said: "Niangniang, have you ever thought that if the Li family didn't help the Qi family back then, it would just let Emperor Jie linger for a few more years--- maybe it won't be needed for a few years." The people's aspirations, whether the Qi family army was sincere or fake, they really loved the people like children, and the people all over the world flocked to it. Other heroic soldiers are in difficulty, but the Qi family army has millions of male soldiers. Along the way, the emperor's officials opened the city gates, and many places surrendered without a fight. ”
He took a breath and continued: "Grandfather took advantage of the situation and chose the Lord in time to vote for him, so as to ensure the prosperity of the Li family for a hundred years. If there is no Li family, the Qi family will still be called the king and worship the prime minister. It's just that the position of the first assistant, I don't know what the surname is. What's more, heroes don't ask where they come from, Qi Xiying's fame is far away, not because of Zuyin, but because of her extraordinary talent and reputation in the world. ”
Li Xu sneered: "It seems that my brother also thinks that this palace is not as good as Qi Xi?" ”
Qi Xiaojie said helplessly: "The dead are the greatest, what does the mother care about with a dead person?" At present, it is the top priority to protect the reputation of the mother and the military power of the women's army in her hands. ”
"What else can be done? Qi Zihao has ordered the palace to hand over its military power, and the palace has also been deprived of the qualifications to participate. ”
Qi Xiaojie groaned: "Maybe both the mother and grandfather were calculated by the prince. ”
The crown princess exclaimed: "Brother is saying...... Hongu is being used? ”
Qi Xiaojie said: "Weichen thought twice, nine times out of ten. Nowadays, most of the ministers in the court and the central government look at their grandfathers, and if the prince wants to be supported by the ministers, he needs to find another way. Niangniang rebuilt the women's army back then, with the daughters of the official eunuchs as the main source of soldiers, isn't it the family behind these women? Moreover, after these women get married, they have an impact on their in-laws and husbands. ”
He paused, and then said, "Doesn't the prince know about these benefits? But the crown prince, as a man, rebuilt the women's army, and his identity is inappropriate. Besides, if it were up to him, his grandfather would definitely stop him. In this way, Niangniang is the best candidate. Because the lady will do this, the grandfather and Weichen will support it. When the time is ripe, it will be much more logical to take over the Women's Army from Niangniang. Isn't the mother-in-law's family behind these little ladies the prince's dependence? ”
Li Xu thought about it and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. But it turned out that after Qi Zihao's gentle smile, he had such a deep scheming.
Li Xiaojie further analyzed: "Weichen speculates that after returning to the dynasty this time, there will be courtiers who will impeach the princess and the prince, and since the princess rebuilds the women's army, the bad deeds of the women's army will also be magnified, forcing the mother's mother to hand over the military power." On the surface, in order to quell the criticism, the prince had to re-appoint the generals to take charge of the military power of the women's army, but in fact, I am afraid that this is all the prince's arrangement. ”
Li Xu regretted it for a while.
I really shouldn't have indulged these ladies, and now that I fell into the prince's hand, I handed over the handle to the prince with both hands. How is this good?
She asked Li Xiaojie: "What does the elder brother see, who will be the person in charge of the Women's Army?" ”
Li Xiaojie thought for a while, but he didn't have a clue.
He said, "But I don't know." Today's plan is to let the prince come forward to punish the mother, but if the mother takes the initiative to take the fault and strike first, let the world see a responsible and kind-hearted princess. ”
Li Xu had an epiphany.
Outside the hospital, Li Xiaojie's lieutenant, a captain of the Imperial Forest Military Academy, asked to see Li Xiaojie, passed the prince's password, and asked Li Xiaojie to go to the current royal ancestral hall as soon as possible, and arrange the big sacrifice to protect the day after tomorrow.
After Li Xiaojie left, she summoned the leaders of the guards and asked them to quickly find out who died on the street today, and she would go to mourn tomorrow in plain clothes.
He also ordered someone to inform He Cheng that she would go to the Shanyuan County Mansion tomorrow after the funeral to watch him try the case of the women's army wounding.
After changing her clothes, she ordered someone to take charge of the lamp, and she went to the prince's Feng Mingwan overnight to ask for guilt.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived in the courtyard, he was blocked out of the room by his father-in-law, and the prince of Dao was angry today and hurt his gods. The headache was unbearable, and I ate the soothing soup and rested.
Li Xu had no choice but to return.
When the prince heard that the crown princess had come to ask for guilt in the house, he sneered in his heart, and a trace of ridicule rose to the corner of his mouth.
He knew that she would definitely come, how could Qi Zihao give her a chance to let him relax.
The Li family manipulates the ministers, can the Qi family tolerate it? The reuse of the Li family at the time of the establishment of the dynasty was just an expedient measure. My father lives behind the scenes, but he has a deep view of the fire. Father and son joined forces, and the chess game was set as early as nine years ago.
The members of the Li family, the royal family, the ministers of the court, and even the people of the world are all chess pieces in this game. What this chess game is plotting is that the Qi family will be forever solid, and the imperial power will be monopolized.
The father's generation is a hero, who has established the country in Daxia, is in charge of chess, and has a great cause for thousands of years, how can he allow others to trespass?
When Father-in-law Quan sent Li Xu away, he called Deng Yanming into the room, gave him such and such instructions, and handwrote a decree from the East Palace and handed it to him.
Deng Yanming took the order and left.
Gonggong Quan came in quietly and said, "Niangniang went back." The servants looked for someone to see it a few times, but His Royal Highness King Rui and His Royal Highness the Original King did not come back. ”
The prince asked with a puzzled expression, "Have you found out?" Is that woman really Miss Yan Chen in the villa? ”
Kwon Gonggong: "Sure yes." Miss Yan Chen and the two highnesses had lunch in Tao's seclusion. I went out and met with that. After that, the three of them went out of the city again. ”
The crown prince waved his hand to let Gonggong Quan step back. Gonggong Quan boldly said: "The old slave is waiting for His Highness to rest, right?" ”
The prince was silent, turned and walked to the table.
Gonggong Quan had no choice but to go out and ask the palace people to serve a new pot of tea.
The prince sat at the table, looking up and smiling bitterly.
Unexpectedly, the woman who had a pair of eyes exactly the same as Xi'er actually knew King Rui. And apparently, the relationship between the two goes further than with him.
He is one year older than Zirui, and although he is the eldest son in the family, he is not a son-in-law. His biological mother is Qi Jin's maid ring, and she has been in love with Qi Jin since she was a child, but because of her soft appearance, she has never been liked by the young and widowed old lady Qi, and because of her humble status, she can only be wronged as Qi Jin's concubine. In the second year after giving birth to Qi Zihao, Mrs. Qi married the daughter of the Wang family who was the right family for Qi Jin.
Qi Zirui was born as a son-in-law. Therefore, since he was a child, Qi Zihao has been much heavier than Zirui. Back then, he could clearly see that Zirui's feelings for Xi'er were definitely not brother and sister, but fortunately, Xi'er and Zihao had already fallen in love, and he didn't know that Zirui also loved him.
He has been watching from the sidelines, and even adding fuel to the fire, sitting on the brother and sister relationship between Zirui and Xi'er. Zirui has been a lawless person since he was a child, but he respects his eldest brother. Although he has a deep affection for Xi'er, he is upright by nature and never does those small things. On the contrary, he acquiesced in the love between Xi'er and his eldest brother, and only quietly hid his deep love in his heart.
But the more Zi Rui is down, the more Zi Hao has low self-esteem, as if Zi Rui's downfall just sets off his meanness.
Ten years ago, because Xi'er's bones were difficult to find, and Zihao married Li Xu a year later, Zirui finally stopped respecting him and left Tongguan.
Perhaps, now the two brothers will once again have a deeper rift because of another woman.
This time, Zi Ruiying will never back down, right?
It's a pity that Zihao won't retreat.
Xi'er is the sunshine in his gloom. And Yan Chen is the bright moon in his dark emotional world over the years.
Thinking of this, Zihao realized that he had only known Yan Chen for a few days, and he unconsciously put her and Xi'er side by side.
He shook his head, ridiculous.
