Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Night Banquet Draws In
In the Daliang Palace, Li Youjian and the three of them were led by the guards to Weiyang Palace to attend the dinner, and Xue saw that he was tired and didn't want to participate, so he stayed in the mansion.
Soon the three of them arrived at Weiyang Palace, Emperor Daliang, the empress had been waiting for a long time, the eldest grandson took the two of them to Song De and sat down, Song De sat on the main seat and waved his hand to announce the start of the night banquet, Li Youjian looked at the food in front of him was already hungry and thirsty, gobbling up without a trace of grace, in stark contrast to the people around him, and the surrounding ministers were quietly far away.
But at this moment, two men came to Li Youjian, holding wine glasses in their hands. Li Youjian recognized that one of them turned out to be the second prince, and the other was older and somewhat similar to Song De and Song Shu, Li Youjian guessed that it was the eldest prince, and sure enough, the older man said to Li Youjian with a wine glass
"Master Li, I am Song Hua, the prince of Daliang, and I heard about Master Li's defeat of his younger brother in the martial arts arena, so I came to see you. Li Youjian wiped the stains on his mouth, then raised his wine glass and drank it all, and said to Song Hua
"The eldest prince, I don't know what you are looking for me, please speak up" Song Hua was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect this Li Youjian to be so direct, and he couldn't say anything if he thought about it.
Just said a few words of greeting and left, the second prince on the side looked at this scene with a snicker, and then said to Li Youjian
"You kid can, my imperial brother is the most important etiquette, you actually blocked him speechless, worthy of the man I fancied, do you want to become my subordinate, when I become the emperor, I will definitely reuse you." Li Youjian looked at Song Shu in surprise
"What do you call the man you fancie, evil, I don't like men, and I remember that the national teacher was not canonized by the emperor, but the head of the Tianjian Sect came to Daliang to inform all the people, the royal family can't decide the candidate of the national teacher, I'm not interested in what you said in the future, if you can come up with something that makes my heart move, I will consider it." Song Shu thought about it seriously for a while, and then said
"In another month, there will be a succession ceremony for the new emperor, and one of me and the imperial brother will be selected to be the new Liang Emperor, so let's do it, I am willing to pay a body refining pill that martial arts practitioners dream of, Dragon Tiger Pill, this pill can increase the strength of the body by two percent, and if I ascend to the throne, I can also allow you to enter the palace treasury to choose a treasure. Li Youjian added one without hesitation
"I still need you to promise me one thing in the future, rest assured that I won't risk your life, but I can't say anything yet, if you promise, I'll help you. The second prince's excited wine glass collided with Li Youjian's wine glass, and then he said
"It's a deal, but I'm curious why you don't wait first, listen to the chips that my imperial brother offered," Li Youjian said disdainfully
"I hate red tape the most, and you have a temper with me, you are open-minded, and you can have deep friendships. I can't see through your imperial brother, okay, we've made a deal and I'm going to continue eating. Song Shu bowed his hand and left, and Li Youjian continued to feast.
The eldest grandson came to Li Youjian with some concern and reprimanded
"How can you kid get involved in the emperor's selection, do you know that the Heavenly Sword Sect has never helped anyone on the throne of the Great Liang at any time. Li Youjian said with a heavy face
"I will do one thing in the future, the more power I have, the better, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to do it," Changsun Ye was a little relieved, Li Youjian, this kid actually knows how to use power, this is a good start, the appearance of a leader.
Immediately no longer entangled, the three of them quickly returned to the mansion after the dinner, but early the next morning, the eldest prince's guards sent an invitation, inviting Li Youjian to the mansion for a while, Li Youjian accepted the invitation with a calm face, but he didn't plan to go to the eldest prince, so he didn't take it seriously, and threw it aside at will after tearing it up.
Didn't even look at it. The second prince frequently came to Li Youjian to discuss countermeasures in this month, and every time he talked about the defection of a certain minister to the eldest prince, he gritted his teeth and wanted to bang his head against the wall.
Li Youjian didn't care too much, this Liang was strong, even if the eldest prince controlled all the ministers, but the forbidden army was in the hands of the second prince, so Li Youjian knew that the second prince was just complaining.
and comforted the second prince and said that he had a way to finally let the second prince ascend the throne, and the second prince left satisfied.
A month later, how to succeed to the throne by Song De, Emperor Daliang, announced to all the people of Daliang that whoever can defeat the other party in the competition will become the new Emperor of Daliang, the second prince is like a spring breeze, because although the eldest prince is now three years older than the second prince, but the cultivation is not as good as the second prince, only the top grade of the star realm, the eldest prince looked at Song Shu with a blue face, and glanced at Song De with resentment.
The eldest prince did not come to the stage but sneered, clapped his hands, and a group of soldiers appeared around him, and there were dozens of masters in the entrance realm, among which there were ten masters in the entrance realm.
Song De's face suddenly darkened, and he asked Song Hua
"Rebel, is it possible that you want to rebel? Song Hua sneered
"Father, you are partial to Song Shu, isn't he just a genius who practices martial arts, but when it comes to governing the country and strategy, which point is he comparable to me, Daliang has been in a corner of peace for so many years, and there is no war, it is too comfortable, you didn't even find out that I transferred troops and strong generals, and Song Shu didn't find out that my forbidden army had already been infiltrated by me, father, you don't have to struggle, the water you drank today was specially made by me, I put poison in it, and after a while, you will return to the west, this throne is mine after all." Hahaha. Song Shu, you have to die too. Master Li, the eldest grandson of the national teacher, the one who knows the times is Junjie, if you submit to me, I can surround you to death. Li Youjian smiled brightly, then pulled out the long sword in his hand and said to Song Hua
"Do you think we don't know that you will be a ghost, you look around" Hundreds of masters of the Entrance Realm suddenly appeared around Song Hua's face was pale, and he said unwillingly
"How is it possible, almost all of the entrance realm of Daliang is here, and the others have been taken away by me, how can you still have so many entrance realm masters. Li Youjian said coldly
"You forgot about Tianjian Mountain" Song Hua stared at Li Youjian viciously and said with a wry smile
"My father drank that cup of poisonous wine, there is no chance of survival, I rebelled against my father and killed me, I am willing to take my life for a life, and ask my second brother to spare these people" After speaking, Song Hua slashed his throat with a sword, fresh blood gushed out, Song Shu didn't have time to be sad and angry, and hurriedly ran to Song De, at this time Song De was already bleeding from seven orifices, lying on the ground, Song Shu hugged Song De while crying, Song De said weakly
"Emperor, this Liang will depend on you in the future, you have to leave no one behind the people who follow Song Hua, you need to be cold-blooded and ruthless for the emperor, remember," After speaking, Song De whimpered for his life.
Song Shu calmed down, wiped away his tears, and ordered to everyone
"All those who follow Song Hua will be killed, Song Hua's whole family will be destroyed, and those who are willing to be loyal to the entrance realm can save their lives. Go ahead. Then he returned to his father's side, Li Youjian looked at the bloody wind and rain in the square, indifferent, of course, it was not only the Tianjian Gate that came to help, but also the rescuers who moved from himself and the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty and his grandfather.
In fact, Song Shu had known about Song Hua's small actions for a long time, but he was waiting for this opportunity, but he didn't expect Song Hua to kill his father.
It was a little unexpected for everyone.
