"Come on, pull this villain down and behead him!" After a while, Emperor Chengde relieved himself and opened his mouth to cut Zhao Song.

"Father, the arrows used by this villain are poisonous, and the second brother is anxiously waiting for the antidote, so it is better to hand it over to Dali Temple for interrogation first......" Ling Li reminded in a low voice.

Emperor Chengde held his forehead with his hand, and did not speak for a long time, and the guards in front of the hall set up Zhao Song and was about to go out, before he spoke: "Wait, first go to Dali Temple for a detailed examination, if he can explain the antidote, I can consider sparing his life." ”

"Obey the order!" Zhou Yi immediately knelt on the ground to receive the order.

"I originally thought about the father and son, and wanted to leave the rebel son a cheap life, but now it seems that if he doesn't die for a day, the thief heart of the Zhao family will not die for a day!" Emperor Chengde pressed his temples, gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Liu Yin, you and Zhou Qing will go to the prison of Dali Temple together, and give me a pot of gold dust wine for the rebel!" ”

"Your Majesty, please think twice!" All the officials involved in the interrogation knelt down in unison when they heard the news.

Emperor Chengde ignored it, and only raised his hand to summon the foreman of the guard, "Send me to the Tai Hospital, I want to see Zhao'er." ”

Seeing Emperor Chengde's shoulders leave, Ling Li stood in the vertical arch hall and smiled bitterly: Ling Chong would not be guilty of death no matter how he treated himself, and as soon as Ling Zhao was injured, Ling Chong's life was gone......

The punishment of Dali Temple was extraordinary, and Zhao Xiang was escorted into the interrogation room for less than an hour, and then he told the antidote. The Tai Hospital here quickly allocated medicine for Ling Zhao to take, and his life was finally safe.

After Ling Zhao woke up, he saw Emperor Chengde personally guarding him, so he hurriedly got up and saluted, but due to excessive blood loss in his body, he fell into bed again.

"You lie down to recuperate and recuperate, what do you do about those false courtesies?!"

"Father, today's incident frightened you and your third brother, only blame Erchen for not being thoughtful, thinking that it is a good thing to welcome the triumph of the third brother, so the whole city is not on guard......"

Emperor Chengde looked tired, but he still comforted Ling Zhao and said, "How can I blame you? Everything has a cause and effect, and if I didn't show kindness to the Zhao family, it wouldn't be like this...... Ahem......"

"Father, your body is already weak, and you must be tired after working for your sons for half a day. Now that the retainers are much better, they will get up and go back to the palace, so as not to disturb your recuperation. ”

"What's good, there's not a trace of blood on my face. I ordered someone to go to the East Palace to clean up, and these days, you will temporarily stay in the East Palace, so that the imperial doctor can diagnose and treat you for treatment. ”

"Father, I can't help it, how can my sons live in the East Palace?!"

"I said that it will be made, you live in the palace, and I can rest assured." Ling Zhao struggled to get up, but was held down by Emperor Chengde, "You three brothers, Ling Chong and Ling Li are fighting to the death, and only you have been filial to your parents and family since you were a child, and today in order to save your third brother, even your life is risked away." ”

"The third brother is a great hero in the battle of the Western Frontier, the people respect him very much, and regard him as a god, if something happens to him in Yongding, the son will definitely be to blame."

"Heh, so much admiration and god?! How did they know that this war in the west emptied the treasury that I had accumulated during my reign for decades, and buried thousands of hot-blooded men in my South Vietnam......"

"Father, no matter what, the first battle in the western frontier has forced the Xili royal court to admit defeat and sue for peace, and in the subsequent peace talks, we can make up for the war losses by increasing the annual supply......"

"The top priority is that you have to take care of your body as soon as possible, and leave the terms of the peace talks to Shu Shi'an and Pei Kehuai to discuss first. I'm a little tired, I'll see you another day. ”

"The son sends off his father." Ling Zhao still ignored his injuries and knelt on the bed to give a gift to Emperor Chengde.

*********

Hearing the news that Ling Zhao had been admitted to the East Palace due to his injuries, Ling Li was not surprised at all. Ling Zhao has been deeply loved by his father since he was a child, if it weren't for Ling Chong being the eldest son born to Empress Zhao, and with the full support of Zhao Bangyue and his party, the position of prince would have been Ling Zhao's long ago.

"Your Highness, I always feel that today's assassination incident is quite strange."

After the armistice in the west, Shen Zhi left Beilin with Princess Jin Yao and quietly returned to Yongding. After learning that Ling Li had entered the city and was attacked today, he immediately rushed to the Qiu Di Pavilion. After listening to Ling Li's account of today's events, he felt that things were not so simple.

"Heh, over the years, when have I returned to Beijing, how many times have I not encountered an assassin?" Ling Li laughed at himself, then picked up the wine glass in front of the table, raised his head and drank it all, "Now that Ling Chong has been given death, he must be cleaner." ”

When he received the cup of wine outside the long pavilion, Chu Qing's words had made him suspicious of Ling Zhao for a while, but since Ling Zhao blocked the poisonous arrow for him in the downtown area west of the city, he suppressed this suspicion in his heart. In any case, he is still his second brother whose blood is thicker than water.

"I'm afraid that the trees want to be quiet and the wind will not stop." Shen picked up the wine jug and poured a full glass for him, "Today, the eldest princess and I witnessed the reverence and admiration of the people of South Vietnam for His Royal Highness on the streets, and we were very worried. ”

"The tree is a big wind, I understand what I am worried about."

"Right now, it's the best time, if Your Highness makes up your mind, Weizhi will go all out to assist Your Highness ......"

"I know that there is a war in the west, and I don't want another turmoil in South Vietnam." Ling Li interrupted Shen Zhi's words, and then looked at the quiet moonlight outside the waterfront corridor, "If people don't offend me, I won't offend people; If anyone sins against me, I will punish him. ”

Before returning to Beijing, Lu Yuqing, the secretary in charge, showed him a set of military affairs documents that had been sorted out, and he was shocked by the set of data. At the beginning, in order to persuade the imperial court to establish the Zhenxi Army to consolidate the border defense, he once sorted out a set of data on the South Vietnamese border in the 35th year of Long Ho: In this year, the Chinese and Western plough barbarians crossed the border and attacked 9 times, killing 850 South Vietnamese people, and plundering countless gold, silver, jewelry, goods, cattle, sheep and livestock. In this 11-month battle for the western frontier, as many as 8,997 South Vietnamese soldiers were killed, and the amount of military salaries and state assets was 100 times or 1,000 times the amount plundered......

He finished the battle of the Western Frontier beautifully, but looking back on the experience of this year, he did not feel that he had won.

"If Your Highness plans to do so, I hope to return to the west as soon as possible, away from Kyoto, which is a place of right and wrong." Ling Li only brought Chen Ping and other generals and a small number of escorts into Beijing this time, which made Shen Zhi always feel uneasy.

"After the ceremony, I'll set off." Ling Li responded.

The mother concubine is no longer there, and her daughter Ling Juan doesn't like it here, and there is no longer any connection with him in this big Yongding City.

After drinking the wine in his glass, Ling Li got up and went back to the dormitory, and as he walked through the waterfront corridor, he caught a glimpse of the full moon in the water, and a pair of clear eyes staring straight at him instantly appeared in his mind.

"Prepare the horses, I'll go out." Ling Li suddenly ordered Cao Zhong, who was following behind.

"Yes, the villain will go and inform Captain Chen." Cao Zhong arched his hand.

"I don't have to move the crowd, I want to walk alone."

Cao Zhong exclaimed: "Your Highness, the villain thinks this move is inappropriate, you just met an assassin in the downtown during the day......"

"The Assassin has been captured and imprisoned. Besides, it's a well-known thing that I go into the city during the day, and now that I'm out for a walk on a whim, the Assassins can expect it? With that, Ling Lijing walked towards the backyard stable.
