Murderous heart
When Changsun Zhi returned to the mansion and was close to unitary, the subordinates and the subordinates were very worried when they saw Changsun Zhi's state, so they couldn't help but ask Changsun Zhi and ignored it, and locked themselves directly in the study.
Eldest Sun Qian and Eldest Sun Ren had already returned from duty, and when they heard the news, they couldn't help but worry and came to the study together, but Gao Tianyun was already at the door of the study.
"Mother, what's the matter?" Changsun Qian asked.
Gao Tianyun shook his head, looking very worried. "Listen to Ah Fu, when your father came back, his body was dirty, there were blood stains on his forehead, his eyes were blank, and he didn't say a word along the way, as if he had lost his soul." At first, his tone was a little choked, and he cried at the end.
"I'm going to lock myself up in the study when I come back, what the hell do you think is going on?" Gao Tianyun cried to the eldest grandson.
The two of them were a little panicked when they saw Gao Tianyun crying.
"Ah, mother, don't cry."
"Ah mother, don't cry, it's okay."
At this time, Wei Chi Yiyi walked over with the eldest grandson Hongfei in his arms.
"Auntie, husband, what's wrong with uncle?" After saying hello one by one, Wei Chi Yiyi was a little at a loss.
The eldest grandson Hongfei also heard what happened on the road, and naturally knew that something terrible had happened, but he had a guess in his heart that it should be related to cultivation, but the specifics were unknown.
"Ah, I don't cry." Although the eldest grandson Hongfei is only one year old, his voice is a little immature, but his words are very clear. As he spoke, he held out a hand.
Seeing this, Wei Chi Yiyi hurriedly hugged the eldest grandson Hongfei and approached Gao Tianyun. And the hand of the eldest grandson Hongfei was finally able to reach Gao Tianyun. Wipe away tears.
"My grandson is good, my mother doesn't cry." After saying that, he also wiped away his tears.
The door of the study opened at this time, and the eldest grandson stood in the dark, and there was no candle in the study, and he could only see a little bit of the eldest grandson's appearance by relying on the lanterns hanging high in the courtyard.
"What should you do, I'll talk to you tomorrow." The eldest grandson's voice was full of deep exhaustion, and after speaking, he closed the door again.
Several people outside the house looked at each other, and finally dispersed helplessly.
night
The candle flame in Changsun Zhi's room was still on, and neither Changsun Zhi nor Gao Tianyun fell asleep, but sat on the edge of the bed. Changsun Qian and Wei Chi Yiyi were a little worried, so they found an excuse to send Changsun Hongfei to accompany the two, and at the moment they were lying in Changsun Zhi's arms, with their eyes closed, as if they were asleep.
"Saint... How could a saint be so persistent? Gao Tianyun only knew the reason after listening to Changsun Zhi's story.
"Hey! Xu has changed, changed! The eldest grandson sighed, and his words were very sad.
The eldest grandson Hongfei also knew the reason, but he was full of strong uneasiness in his heart, knowing that all the emperors of all dynasties were obsessed with immortality, and how many people died in the advice. But there is no way, I can't just say a lot of big things to the eldest grandson now, in case I am scared, it will not be good.
"What are you going to do, grandpa?" Gao Tianyun was also worried, but he was only worried about Changsun Zhi.
"Tomorrow I will enter the palace to persuade the saint, if it doesn't work, then I will wronged you and go back to the countryside with me!" After the eldest grandson finished speaking, he reached out to take Gao Qianyun's hand.
"There is no grievance or grievance, we have enjoyed a few years of happiness and contentment. Just Da Lang Jiro? Gao Tianyun let the eldest grandson hold his hand, looking a little shy.
"If they still want to be officials, let them stay in Beijing, after all, how the saint is changing, the affection is still there!" The eldest grandson seemed to have thought of something when he talked about affection, and a smile appeared on his face for the first time, but it quickly became an emotion.
Although the eldest grandson Hongfei didn't know how far this love had been, he knew how fragile the emperor's love was, and said in his heart, "I'm afraid this time it's more than lucky!" ”
At noon on the second day, in the Linde Temple.
"Sage, I heard today that General Changsun did not go to the court, I'm afraid he won't be on this errand, right?" Yu Lianzhou, who was standing on the side, said with a little worry.
"The eldest grandson just doesn't understand me for a while, and he will be fine in a few days." Li Ji'an said after a long sigh.
At this time, Gao Yuan came to report, "Admiral Changsun asks to see."
Li Ji'an looked overjoyed and then said, "Let the eldest grandson come in." After that, he looked at Yu Lianzhou and said, "You should retreat first." Yu Lianzhou had no choice but to retire.
Yu Lianzhou saw the eldest grandson and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
"I've seen Admiral Eldest Sun."
The eldest grandson didn't look at Yu Lianzhou, and walked over directly.
After Changsun Zhi walked over, Yu Lianzhou looked at Changsun Zhi's back and showed a sneer. Then he left.
Li Ji'an's roar came from inside the Linde Palace, which was clearly heard by the guards guarding outside the hall, and the guards looked at each other, not understanding what was happening. There is no civil and military force in the Manchu Dynasty who does not understand the relationship between Li Ji'an and Changsun Zhi, Li Ji'an has never been so angry with Changsun Zhi, and he has never said anything even a little heavier, but today it really puzzled the guards.
If there were guards who followed Li Ji'an to the school yesterday, I am afraid that they would only know the details, but they are just small guards, how dare they talk nonsense, so yesterday's incident has not spread.
Soon after the eldest grandson returned home, Xiao Yu came to visit. Xiao Yu is the prime minister today, and the relationship with the eldest grandson is not bad, because the early dynasty did not see the eldest grandson Zhihou sage said that he was sick, so he came to visit.
Xiao Yu saw that the eldest grandson was really in a bad state, so he told him to recuperate, and seeing that his spirit was not good, he was not good to bother, so he left after a while.
On the morning of the second day, the eldest grandson of the court still did not go to the court, and then he was rejected in the Lin De Palace, and after the eldest grandson left, Yu Lianzhou walked out from the side.
"Sage, I'm afraid that this eldest grandson general is iron-hearted, the matter of selecting people in this army?"
"It's okay, this matter doesn't have to be the eldest grandson."
"But..."
"Say anything quickly." Li Ji'an said impatiently.
"The minister is worried that General Changsun will tell me about this."
"You don't have to worry about this, although the eldest grandson is angry with me, his heart is still towards me." Li Ji'an said with a smile, very confident in his words.
"But the minister saw Xiao Xianggong go to General Changsun yesterday, do you think it will...?"
"Bang" Li Ji'an slapped the table case with one hand and then fought, looked at Yu Lianzhou with an angry face and asked, "You dare to spy on the eldest grandson?" ”
Seeing this, Yu Lianzhou hurriedly knelt down and said: "The saint is angry, the minister doesn't dare, the minister just happened to see it yesterday when he wanted to persuade General Changsun." ”
"I don't care if you are accidental or surveilling, do what I tell you, I will not treat you badly, if you dare to overstep, I will cut you."
"The minister doesn't dare, everything obeys the orders of the saint, the saint asks the minister to do it, the minister will do his best, and the minister will never have two hearts!"
"Okay, let's not take an example, get out."
Although Yu Lianzhou said something, he planted the seeds in Li Ji's peace of mind.
Another day passed, and the eldest grandson saw Li Ji'an again in private to ask for his resignation, but was rejected again. This time, both of them knew that the other would not change their minds.
Li Ji'an dismissed the eunuchs and guards who accompanied him, and sat alone in the Chaohua Pavilion of the Taiye Pool, looking at the snow on the lake and falling into deep thought. After an hour, it seemed that he had finally made a decision, took a deep breath, spit out vigorously, and then left.
Inside the Temple of Manna
"I heard that the saint came to the Manna Hall after staying in the Taiye Pool for an hour, what is the difficulty of the saint?" Gao Huitong asked after pouring Li Ji'an a glass of wine.
"You still know me best." Li Ji'an took the wine glass and drank it, and said with a smile.
"I've been a personal knife man for so many years, it's strange if you don't know the saint." Gao Huitong also replied with a smile.
This Gao Huitong was Li Ji'an's personal knife man in his early years, and called the emperor a concubine and a second-grade Shuyi.
"Seeing that the saint is in a good mood, this is solved?" Gao Huitong asked after giving Li Ji'an another bite of food.
Li Ji'an nodded, and then said, "I still remember my favorite food, it's good." ”
"The concubine is relieved, the concubine knows that the saint loves to eat bear white, but no, so she has to use this venison to fool the saint." Gao Huitong chuckled.
"You, you..." Li Ji'an also smiled.
After finishing eating, Gao Huitong left, and then Li Ji'an ordered someone to let Yu Lianzhou come over.
The first time Yu Lianzhou came to this manna hall, the hall was not large, only two bookshelves and a table. There are a lot of calligraphy hanging on the wall, but Yu Lianzhou can't tell the good from the bad.
Li Ji'an once again retreated left and right and said, "If you are allowed to attack the Changsun General's Mansion at night, how many people are sure?" ”
Yu Lianzhou knew that he was hesitant now, so he spoke: "The minister doesn't know the situation in the general's mansion, so..." ”
"Well, someone will tell you later."
As soon as he finished speaking, the voice of the eunuch came from outside.
"Sage, Admiral Kongo Ryu has arrived."
"Let him in."
When Liu Renwu came in, he found that Yu Lianzhou was also here, but he didn't think much about it, until Li Ji'an opened his mouth, he was shocked.
"Tell him about the guards in General Changsun's mansion."
Hearing this, Liu Renwu naturally knew what the sage was going to do, but he didn't dare to hesitate, and said it directly to Yu Lianzhou.
It wasn't until Liu Renwu finished speaking that Yu Lianzhou said.
"Sage, if only these ministers are enough, it's just that there are too many people in the house, but the ministers can't take care of them."
"Okay, Liu Renwu."
"The minister is here."
"I ordered you to lead people to assist Captain Yu, and no one will be left behind who comes out of the general's mansion." Speaking of the last four words, Li Ji'an was very serious, and even more so.
"No."
