As the sound of the hour sounded, the warm sun pierced the frost mist that shrouded the sky on time, and sprinkled on the solemn cornices outside the Taihe Palace.

The courtiers of the early dynasty walked out of the Taihe Palace, and there were groups of whisperers, and there were also people who walked towards the palace in a hurry.

Seeing the last minister disappear from view, Li Yucheng slowly stood up from the low table under the golden throne.

His movements were slow, light, and exude a kind of feeble exhaustion.

Standing still in place for a long time, Li Yucheng slowly leaned down and picked up a document on the low table.

The text was written with the ink of a dragon and a snake on the top of the paper.

This is a habit he has cultivated in the past ten years of imprisonment.

Record the political affairs discussed in each early dynasty, add your own annotations, and then hand them over to the father and emperor for review.

For more than ten years, there have been thousands of early dynasties, and there has never been a single omission, and this is naturally the case today.

Picking up today's documents and browsing them, after Li Yucheng confirmed that they were correct, his soft voice sounded in the silent hall:

"Father-in-law Nie, I beg you to present this to your father."

“.”

The voice echoed, and the words fell for a few breaths.

A feminine middle-aged man dressed in a luxurious palace robe quietly appeared from behind the golden throne and came to the prince's side in an instant.

Today's holy companion, Nie Gonggong.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Nie Gonggong lowered his eyebrows and bowed his head, and while responding, he habitually glanced at the paperwork.

Although this thing will be presented every time, the Holy One may not necessarily look at it, and in order to prevent some things from being missed, he has to be his companion to look at it first, and then convey it.

However, this kind of memoir is a bit redundant, and it can only be regarded as an expression of the prince's attitude.

After all, both sides know that although the emperor does not go to court, he has other more precise ways to monitor the government.

His eyes swept over, Nie Gonggong's drooping eyes suddenly froze, and he raised his eyes in a slight surprise, and swept the prince in front of him without a trace, but then he also suppressed the incomprehension in his heart.

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and being a eunuch has to keep his duty.

Even if he is the closest person to the Holy Lord, he cannot participate in the family affairs of the Holy Lord, even if the crown prince actually proposes to transfer the third prince to Dongying in this eventful season.

In silence,

Nie Gonggong said softly in a slightly feminine voice:

"Then our family will present it to the emperor first."

After the words fell, after seeing the prince's head, Nie Gonggong's figure disappeared in the Taihe Hall in an instant.

And not long after Nie Gonggong left, a eunuch wearing a three-grade palace robe slowly walked out of the shadow of the hall, came to Li Yucheng, and respectfully bowed his head and asked:

"Your Highness, are we going to leave for home now?"

Because of some examples of prostitution, the Great Yan Ancestral Hall has already set the rules, and the adult prince can no longer stay in the palace without a holy order, even if he is the prince of the prison country.

Listening to his partner's inquiry, Li Yucheng was silent for a while, looked back at the golden throne bathed in light on the staircase, a touch of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he was about to respond, when he heard a voice suddenly ring in his ears:

"Yucheng, come to Qingxin Pavilion."

Qingxin Pavilion is located in the center of the huge heavenly pond in the northwest of Miyagi.

Due to the wetland climate, the frost and fog have not yet dissipated in the early morning, and the cold breeze blows through the lake to bring ripples, and also startles a piece of flying geese that live here, like a fairyland on earth.

Under the leadership of Nie Gonggong, Li Yucheng came to the top floor of Qingxin Pavilion and saw his father again.

The old man with white hair and stooping body is still wearing the same clothes.

He was dressed in a white robe and plain clothes, and he was wearing an imperial dragon robe outside.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, gently tapping the low table on the bed with one hand, and pinching the early dynasty account written by Li Yucheng with the other.

The sun shone on his body through the window lattice, and the wrinkles on his face were clearly visible, making him look even older.

Grandpa Nie turned around and left after leading Li Yucheng into the room.

Li Yaoxuan didn't speak immediately, and browsed the paper in his hand with an interested gaze, and Li Yucheng also stood quietly aside.

Ban Yu,

"Tuk."

Li Yaoxuan pressed the rice paper in his hand on the low table, slowly turned his eyes, and asked softly:

"Do you know why I called you?"

Li Yucheng lowered his head and responded, not pretending to be confused:

"The retainers know."

Hearing this, the corners of Li Yaoxuan's lips hooked up a smile, and the smile was a little meaningful:

"Since I know, then I will come and ask you in person, is what you said in your early dynasty memorable true?"

Li Yucheng hung his head, his eyes calm:

"Now that I have been on the table of my father, the things I have written are naturally true."

"Huh."

Li Yaoxuan's cloudy eyes cleared for a moment, and he looked up and down at the eldest son in front of him for a few breaths, and the sharpness of his eyes made people shudder.

Li Yucheng still hung his head and was silent.

counting interest,

Li Yaoxuan exhaled a long breath, put down his crossed legs, and slowly stood up from the bed:

"The prince of this prison country may not know that Dongying Island has actually sent envoys to my emperor."

As he spoke, Li Yaoxuan walked towards Li Yucheng, his steps were very light, but it seemed to step on Li Yucheng's heart.

After a moment of silence, Li Yucheng lowered his head and spoke:

"Dongying let the ministers know that the father is referring to those blonde ghosts?"

"Ghost people? Those people don't deserve the title of ghost. ”

Li Yaoxuan chuckled and muttered, walked past Li Yucheng, stood still in front of the antique arrangement, and casually took a rather strange style of thin sword from the priceless antiques on it.

A sword flower danced in the air, but the sword light still made the light of the entire room dim a little.

After doing this, Li Yaoxuan looked at the thin sword in his hand and said softly:

"This sword is their gift to me, hehe, the workmanship is fine, and the material is acceptable, barely worthy of my Dayan grade B forging material."

"Father, the unknown enemy should not be taken lightly, this thin sword is not necessarily the best." Li Yucheng reminded in a low voice.

Hearing this, Li Yaoxuan put the thin sword back, and chuckled meaninglessly:

"You are right, and you are right in what you have stated in your early chronicles, and it is clearly more advantageous than to allow an unknown enemy to sleep soundly under my great heat, and to continue to be neighbors with those short-sighted Japanese who only know how to plunder the sea.

"I have indeed discussed this matter with Xiangguo, and I am also planning to send a messenger to Dongying to supervise it."

Speaking of which,

Li Yaoxuan's words suddenly changed and asked softly:

"Yucheng, although you are a little dull in some things, but you have been in charge of the country for so long, you should know what this move represents, right?"

As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere in the whole room seemed to freeze.

What does it represent?

Li Yucheng knows exactly what this means.

Sending the third prince Li Yunqing to Dongying means that all the power held by this younger brother in Dayan will be free.

And with the current situation in the court, it is impossible for these powers to be transferred to him as a prince so smoothly.

In other words,

The princelings' original control of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, some of the Imperial Shadow Guards, and the various networks that Li Yunqing had privately developed in the DPRK and China will no longer exist.

Taking a deep breath, Li Yucheng still maintained a tone:

"The retainers know."

"You are the boss, but you hurt the junior."

"Erchen and Yunqing are compatriots"

"Aren't you really trying to remove Yunqing from my field of vision?"

“.” Li Yucheng.

Li Yaoxuan looked at the eldest son in front of him with a smile and continued:

"You're right, after all, I probably don't have a few years to live in this body, and if Yunqing is transferred out at this time, then I will naturally be excluded."

"Poof."

When the words fell, Li Yucheng directly knelt on the ground, his fists clenched slightly:

"The will of the son, I also hope that my father and the emperor will see it."

Li Yaoxuan looked at the kneeling prince in front of him, slowly leaned over and helped him up, and looked into his eyes up close:

"Yucheng, you are so nervous, I am just talking, Yunqing is tantamount to your right-hand man to the prince, although sending him away can keep him away from my field of vision, but it can also be regarded as cutting off his arm in front of Zhaoyuan.

"Let me guess,

"Even if you don't say this, there is a high probability that Yunqing will find me himself, after all, that kid has been afraid of trouble since he was a child."

Saying,

Li Yaoxuan's sharp eyes suddenly flashed a touch of softness.

He remembered that after these little cubs got into trouble, the person who ran the fastest was always Li Yunqing's kid.

When the other princes were hit by the board, the kid had already run back to the queen mother to hide.

The softness passed away in a flash, and Li Yaoxuan helped Li Yucheng up and sat back on the bed.

Tightening the imperial dragon robe on his body, the old man looked at the boundless sky outside through the window lattice, sighed and said:

"I, sometimes I really envy Xu Yinhe."

The words fell silent, and after Li Yaoxuan was silent for a few breaths, he suddenly chuckled twice:

"Hehehe, it seems that I am really old, and I am starting to feel nostalgic for the past."

Looking at the rickety old man sitting on the bed talking to himself, Li Yucheng's eyes flashed with a touch of complexity, and the voice of a weak mosquito and fly flashed:

"Father."

Halfway through his words, Li Yaoxuan's knife-like gaze swept over, and Li Yucheng's mind instantly cleared up, and he swallowed the rest of the words directly.

This father does not need any comfort or mercy.

Since he has done it, he will not regret it.

Fang Cai's words were just his sighs of old age.

Moreover, the imperial family is also destined to become a family like the Prime Minister's House.

Li Yaoxuan restrained all his expressions, and said softly with an expressionless face:

"I already know your attitude, and I have agreed to Yunqing's matter."

Li Yucheng knelt on the ground and saluted:

"Thank you, Father."

Li Yaoxuan didn't let Li Yucheng leave immediately, his fingertips tapped lightly on the low table on the bed, and asked softly:

"Where did you go out of the house last night?"

Li Yucheng's drooping eyes shrank slightly.

He knew that this father knew his whereabouts, but he didn't expect this father to ask such a question.

There had been several incidents like last night, and after several temptations, according to his judgment, the father should have acquiesced in his behavior.

Mentioned at this point

With his mind racing, Li Yucheng couldn't guess the emperor's heavenly heart, so he had to bite the bullet and say truthfully:

"Erchen. I went to see the son of the soldier squire. ”

"Wang Xianzhi?"

"Wang Licheng."

"That illegitimate son of Wang Yuqian?"

"Yes."

"It seems that Zhao Yuan really forced you to be a little anxious, and even surrendered his identity to meet an illegitimate child."

“.” Li Yucheng.

The directness of his father's words made it a little difficult for him to answer.

But after the palm under the sleeve robe was slightly clenched, Li Yucheng still said softly:

"A person's talent should not be judged by his birth."

"Huh?"

Li Yaoxuan saw the other party's words, and smiled lightly:

"Just one night of conversation can make your prince talk back to me, it seems that you have a high opinion of that person."

"Erchen is just telling the truth."

"Well, none of that matters."

Li Yaoxuan didn't mean to continue this topic, and continued to say to himself:

"Your idea is good, but it's a pity that there doesn't seem to be so much time for you to bury the layout, even if that person is recruited and kept as a shadow in the Prime Minister's Mansion, there is a high probability that it will not be used."

“.”

Hearing this, a different color flashed in Li Yucheng's eyes.

He felt that his father was talking to him secretly.

The shadows that need time to be laid out are not used, in other words, if he wants to keep the position of the crown prince, he has to use the power that does not need to be laid out.

Thinking of this, Li Yucheng raised his eyes and looked at the rickety old man sitting on the bed, with a temptation in his eyes.

Seeing the sight of the eldest son, Li Yaoxuan shook his head gently:

"Yucheng, among my many princes, I do like you the most, I like your upright and world-minded temperament, but in some things, there is indeed a gap between you and Yunqing and Zhaoyuan."

Speaking of which,

Li Yaoxuan sighed:

"If it were the two of them, there would probably be a good chance that I would have been able to understand what I meant by the time I asked the first sentence."

A touch of loss flashed in Li Yucheng's warm eyes, and he lowered his head slightly:

"Son, I have disappointed you, father."

"I don't blame you, it's a flaw at some point, but it's a pros at some point."

Li Yaoxuan leaned back on the bed, and looked out the window with a faint gaze: "As long as . . . Just get it. ”

“.”

After hearing his father's eviction order, Li Yucheng did not get up and leave immediately, but still knelt in place.

There is little incense, and the wing room is silent.

Li Yaoxuan saw the prince kneeling in this Qingxin Pavilion, and his brows gradually wrinkled:

"If you don't go down, do you want me to invite you on a special trip?"

Li Yucheng raised his eyes to look at his father's eyes, and said softly:

"Father, my sons think this is not the case."

"Bang!"

Before the words fell, Li Yaoxuan slapped directly on the low table on the bed.

A hurricane instantly lifted in the room, and the silk curtains flew continuously, and when everything was settled, the low table on the bed turned into powder along with the early dynasty account that Li Yucheng wrote today.

Li Yaoxuan stared at the prince in front of him, and the temperature of his voice dropped slightly:

"I have given you a path to follow, and it is your business whether you want to go or not.

"Now, get out."
