【Chapter 4: Five Brothers in the Five Kings' Mansion】(4)
Li Longji knew that his tricks might be hidden from his father, but he would never be able to hide from his eldest brother, so he motioned for Li Chengqi to go outside with him. The two brothers bypassed the Fragrance Hall and walked to a secluded place, and Li Longji immediately confessed: "Grandmother suddenly asked about the events of the year, and I was also shocked, I don't know what Grandmother thought in her heart, so I tried it." ”
Li Chengqi's face was calm: "Test your own life?" ”
"Isn't Saburo doing well now?" Seeing that Li Chengqi's eyebrows were about to frown again, Li Longji hurriedly said, "Big brother, you said that grandmother didn't mean to harm the Prime Minister's Mansion, so why did you suddenly mention the events of the year?" ”
"How do you know that Grandmother didn't mean it that way, and didn't force it for you later?"
Recalling Wu Cao's stupidity that had never appeared in front of them, Li Longji couldn't help but laugh and cry: "Today is obviously that I have thought too much, and my grandmother obviously didn't pay attention to anything. ”
Li Chengqi thought about it for a moment and nodded: "Then why can't you still sleep?" ”
"Big brother, do you know, why do I have to test myself today?"
"You are just uneasy because you saw the saint giving your grandmother the title of emperor."
"Exactly. At present, before the restoration of the Tang Dynasty, the sage hurriedly recognized his grandmother's identity as the emperor, doesn't this just want to show that his inheritance to the throne is logical, and it is not the credit of the coup d'état that night, so how will the heroes deal with themselves? As soon as the coup d'état ended, the saints began to attack the heroes, so when will they deal with the Xiangwang Mansion who is guilty of their crimes? ”
"That's also a saint's business, what does it have to do with grandmother?"
Li Longji hesitated, and finally said in a low voice: "On the night of the coup, didn't I blend in with the forbidden army......
Li Chengqi suddenly said: "What did you see, didn't tell me?" ”
Li Longji hurriedly said: "I'm afraid you're worried." After the coup d'état that night, the grandmother left the saint in the temple and did not know what to say. The saint has been degraded to Fangzhou for many years, and it has only been a few years since he returned to become the crown prince, so I thought that if he could have such a mind to guard against heroes, it should be taught by his grandmother......"
Li Chengqi sighed: "You can't help but underestimate the saint too much. As long as anyone sits in that position, what was originally unexpected will gradually become clear. ”
"What does the eldest brother mean that this is what the saint himself wants to do?"
Li Chengqi nodded: "Grandmother left the saint to talk, probably for the Wu family. The saint wants to contain the heroes, but he is unwilling to unite his father, except for the relatives who are weak, only the martial family can rely on. As for the Prime Minister's Mansion, the saint has a lot of things, and he can't find time to suppress it. ”
Li Longji muttered: "Big brother is talking about 'suppression', not 'dealing with'. ”
"Exactly." Li Chengqi sighed lowly, "San Lang, it's also because you were too young that you saw the ruthlessness of your grandmother's authority in your hands, so now you only talk about strategy and ignore human feelings to the emperor." Saying that, he patted Li Longji on the shoulder, "The saint is only his father, his own brother, and his father has always been calm, wasn't the position of the prince also given by his father?" ”
Li Longji thought for a while and said: "So the saint will not easily move the palace, at most it will be suppressed, after all, my father has also ascended the throne as the emperor, and he has been the heir of the emperor for many years, and his prestige is still there, and he should not be underestimated." But as long as the father abides by his duty as a courtier and does not commit the great crime of rebellion, he can be rich and worry-free all his life. ”
Li Chengqi bowed his head and said: "That's right." You're really worried about it today. ”
"I've put so much effort into it, but I'm just a mediocre person?" Li Longji couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, and sighed leisurely, "It's all my grandmother's fault, who made her look good, and she had to mention the events of the year, which made me feel upset." ”
Seeing Li Longji laughing so easily, Li Chengqi couldn't laugh. He stretched out his arms around his younger brother and caressed his younger brother's back like he did when his mother had just left, but he found that his younger brother had grown too tall and he couldn't hold him anymore.
Li Longji was stunned for a moment, and his eyes deepened. He hooked his lips shallowly, and after feeling it carefully, he pushed Li Chengqi away with a smile: "Big brother, don't be numb anymore, it's better to go back quickly, otherwise Gorou won't be able to find us when he wakes up, but I don't know what to do." ”
Li Chengqi smiled softly and nodded.
