Chapter 289: Hold out
"By the order of the Holy Lord, prevent His Highness from leaving the city today. And, tell Wechen to bring a message to His Highness."
When Li Sheng heard this, he got off his horse.
"The Holy Majesty has said, Your Highness can just stand and listen to the order." Zhonglang General hurriedly said.
Li Sheng made a forked hand salute.
"There is an order from the saint that the eldest princess of Jinning will enter the palace immediately."
"When?" Li Shengxing asked playfully.
"The moment Your Highness hears the will."
"What if I don't go out of the city today?" Li Sheng attacked and mounted his horse.
"This will be valid only today." Zhonglang will not be humble or arrogant.
"Got it." Li Shengxi turned the horse's head, his face relaxed, but his heart sank.
Brother stopped her from going out of the city at this time, probably guessing what she wanted to do. And Brother is so obstructive, it means that her conjecture is nine times out of ten right. If this pulse case is really greasy, others may not be able to see it, but as the holy hand of Xinglin, he will definitely be able to see it.
Brother's will was promulgated like this, but she was not sure whether she knew the truth. If she goes out of the city today, then she must know the truth.
And if she doesn't go out of the city today, then tomorrow will definitely be early. After the early dynasty, the elder brother can leave her to test and make a decision.
And now that Brother has summoned her to the palace, it is estimated that he will tell her, after all, she can't hide it from her, and she is not so easy to fool.
When Li Sheng arrived at the gate of the palace, the steps in the palace had obviously been waiting for a long time.
Li Shengxian sat on the chariot and followed the guide to the Shiqian Palace.
"Did you have dinner?" Without waiting for Li Sheng's attack, Emperor Hongxing beckoned Li Shengxing to sit down and make a show in front of outsiders. As for their own people, Li Shengxian made a big salute this morning, and there was no need to salute.
"Nope." Li Shengxian shook his head, a little bit of a little girl's coquettishness.
"Didn't you run out yet?" Emperor Hongxing waved his hand and motioned to the palace people to pass the meal, "Although the Huaiwang Courtyard is in the suburbs of Beijing, it is not close to the imperial city. Didn't I persuade you to take care of the princess's mansion for you?"
Today's dinner was served by the two of them at the same table, and the two of them sat on opposite sides of the table, which greatly shortened the distance.
Li Shengxian shook his head, "Staying here is naturally persuaded, but how to persuade him? If I really persuade him, my brother doesn't need to send a lieutenant to wait for me at the city gate."
"You like to protect the people around you." Emperor Hongxing chuckled, and he looked at the attendants serving beside him.
The man understood, and retreated with all the palace people, and for a while, there were only two of them in the house.
In fact, before Li Shengxi was seven years old, Emperor Hongxing had always held Li Shengxing to feed, and after he was seven years old. Most of them were at the same table as they do now, and they would only sit at separate tables when outsiders were around.
And when at the same table, there will be no palace people from the side to distribute vegetables, at first there will be someone to advise Emperor Hongxing, and later, no one will persuade him.
It's just that Li Shengxi has been away from Beijing for many years, and the two haven't eaten like this for a long time.
"I can't say anything that can't be protected." Li Shengxian shook his head, smiled lightly, and continued to ask, "Brother, why did you suddenly summon me into the palace?"
"Then why did you go out of the city? My sister is so smart, can't she guess? This time, Brother Ao has lost." He didn't hide it from Li Sheng.
Li Shengxi bowed his head slightly.
"Why do you suddenly doubt my body?" It stands to reason that he was in his prime, and the emperor of the Southern Jin Dynasty had a long life, and he was at the age of his prime, even if some things seemed to be done earlier, he would not doubt his body, and there must be some other reasons.
"Destiny is called, and dreams come to me." Li Shengxi couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and after saying that, he told Emperor Hongxing everything he saw in his dream.
I don't remember much in the dream, nothing more than "Li Xun's death", "Xu Huanzhi's suicide", "Emperor Hongxing died young, Li Heng's young lord ascended the throne, and the imperial power fell", "She was shot with an arrow in Linghuadu
Kill".
And these things have been able to dig up a lot of things.
"Ah Xun is not dead, that's because I gave him the heart guard left by Ah Niang. And in that dream, I saw Ah Xun with my own eyes with blood in his knees and an arrow in his chest. Although Ah Xun is not dead, his legs are disabled. And Huanzhi was almost driven crazy in prison, and if I hadn't arrived in time, I might have committed suicide in grief. And you, brother," Li Sheng's expression was gloomy.
"He was given a chronic poison by Yulang, and his life was short." Emperor Hongxing lightly told the truth that was cruel to Li Shengxi.
"Is it really that serious?" Li Shengxi was incredulous, "Has Xiaoniang seen it?"
"A few doctors from the Imperial Doctor's Department took the pulse together, and there was no way to return to the sky, and then told Xiaoniang, in fact, it was useless, but it would alarm you." Emperor Hongxing glanced at Li Shengxun and said solemnly, "Ah Xi, life and death have fate, no one can live forever. If it's mediocre, then what's the point of living a long life?"
"But, brother, you're only thirty-six years old this year."
"Now the top priority is the northern expedition, if I live, you can succeed in the northern expedition, the Central Plains can be unified, such a work, who will only remember that I am only thirty-six years old? They will only remember my exploits.
Ah Xi, if you want to stand at the top, you can't be easily swayed by emotions. You are very good, both of you are very good at culture and martial arts, and you are a suitable heir.
But in the same way, your shortcomings are too obvious, that is, you are too easily swayed by emotions. Everyone knows that you are very affectionate, so many people can use the people you care about to blackmail you."
Ping Guogong, Xu Huanzhi, Liujin, Mu Jing, and even Ying Xiao can influence Li Sheng's attack. Maybe she won't spoil the overall situation for them, but she is not ruthless enough to give up easily.
Li Shengxing lowered his head, his phoenix eyes burst into tears, "Brother, tell me, how long do you have left?"
This is the first time that Li Shengxi has shed tears in his memory. The love of her parents is too far away for her. The love between men and women is not enough to damage her chic decency.
There is only Emperor Hongxing, such as a brother and father, and a teacher like a long-term Emperor Hongxing. They relied on each other, stood together through thick and thin, and spent the years surrounded by strong enemies together.
She became his sharpest sword, opening up territory for him and consolidating the throne.
He became her strongest shield, overstepping her in every way, rewarding her with all kinds of painstaking efforts, and painstakingly paving the way for her.
Emperor Hongxing wiped away her tears and said solemnly, "It doesn't matter. The important thing is that I didn't tell you about this before, because I didn't want to affect your northern expedition. Now I tell you - I want you to promise me that in the coming day, no matter what happens, it will not stand in your way. Whether it is the Northern Expedition or the seizure of the throne, it must be smooth and smooth, and we must not be soft!"
