Chapter 57: Brothers (I)
Brother (I)
When the dark clouds on the side of the day are getting thicker, the rain wets the streets of Chang'an, and when the night is a little dark, Pingkangfang is not affected by the heavy rain at all, and the lights are bright, but the excitement cannot be transmitted to the Fengming Pavilion in the depths of Pingkangfang.
Fengming Pavilion is not as lively as before, a few candles are swaying, and a leaf has fallen in front of the courtyard. The eldest prince sat on the throne alone, drinking sullen wine.
Since Mo Qingshui left, he didn't like singing and dancing, and now that Fan Jiuxian has escaped from marriage, the matter has been revealed, and his father has already known, although he didn't say anything, but his eyes were a little more sharp when he looked at him.
Although, except for a few people now, the rest thought that his eldest prince and Fan Jiuxian were married, happy and happy, and raised their eyebrows.
But there was some pressure that only he could feel.
Naturally, the Holy Emperor didn't need to say that he helped hide it temporarily, but he didn't want his family to be ugly, but this incident greatly reduced his image in his father's mind. Moreover, if this matter is not solved perfectly, and Fan Jiuxian is not retrieved within a certain period of time, not to mention that he still wants to fight for this prince, I am afraid that he will directly be an idle prince in peace.
His father was like a sword hanging over his head.
As for Fan Yuqi, as long as he showed up in the past two days, he would come to him, splashing and rolling at himself, begging for nothing, snorting and tearing about his deep relationship with his daughter, father and daughter, and so on.
The eldest prince naturally won't believe his nonsense, if it is really a father-daughter relationship, he will deceive his daughter, and if his daughter is missing, he will not look for it, but he will come to put pressure on himself.
The eldest prince knew very well in his heart that Fan Yu was afraid that things would change, so he wanted to speed up the process of controlling the Iron Floating Massacre.
was entangled by Fan Yuzhi and had no choice but to write a few letters in front of him and send them to the south, mentioning He Qian's status in the Tiefu Tu again.
He had no choice but to retract his previous mission of assassinating Fan Jiuxian and find and bring it back instead.
He also wanted to kill the girl directly, and then force his father to admit it, but when he faced his father and saw his eyes, he knew that it would not work.
The two Zhan brothers were wrong, and he was also wrong, the Holy Emperor was never a person who gave in easily.
A person who is easily subdued cannot become an emperor who speaks.
He couldn't do anything now, so he could only sit alone in the empty Fengming Pavilion and drink stuffy wine, with only a few lonely trees in the courtyard that were constantly falling leaves to accompany him.
......
"His Royal Highness the Prince, how can one person drink, a group of people drink and hurt their bodies, and one person drinks and hurts his feelings!"
The door was pushed open, and the eldest prince raised his eyes to look at the visitor, ignoring him, and continued to drink alone.
Zhan Nan walked up to him, Gu Zi took a cup, snatched the flask from the eldest prince's table, and poured himself a glass.
The eldest prince looked coldly at this "businessman" who was disrespectful to him, and said nothing.
Zhan Nan sniffed it, and sucked hard with his nose, looking intoxicated.
In the end, he didn't drink either, put down the glass, looked at the eldest prince and said lightly: "When doing things, it's not good to drink." ”
The eldest prince raised his head and glanced at him, and his eyes immediately drifted to the trees in the courtyard.
He muttered, "How many people know that drinking is not good, but they want to drink, and how many people know that they can't force it to like it, but they want to force it." ”
As he spoke, he picked up the cup again and drank it all.
I don't know if he was thinking about a red dress or a white dress at this time.
Zhan Nan looked at him, shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "It's time to do something!"
The eldest prince's eyes were slightly red, and he raised his head drunkenly and glanced at him and sneered: "You...... Who are you, dare to yell at this prince and teach this prince to do things. ”
The eldest prince's fingers kept moving in the air, and finally poked Zhan Nan's nose.
"You...... Be careful, ...... And then I'll put ...... ...... the eldest prince said, burping a drink, and then continued: "Behead your whole family!"
After that, he looked at the beam of the house alone and smirked happily.
Zhan Nan sat on the steps, opposite the big prince, his face expressionless.
In the end, his mind moved, and a force burst out from his body, and the eldest prince's face froze, and he suddenly had a feeling of wanting to surrender.
Zhan Nan watched him slowly bend over, his body was surrounded by a layer of turquoise light, the blood in the eldest prince's body accelerated, he picked up his head in pain, and rolled on the ground.
Zhan Nan looked at this scene coldly and stood up.
The eldest prince kept rolling, holding his head, holding his head tightly with both hands, his forehead was bruised, his nails were embedded in his face, and blood beads kept coming out.
He rolled off the stool and knocked over the low table, like a boulder setting over the Fengming Pavilion, and suddenly the Fengming Pavilion was covered with debris and the remains of tables and chairs.
In the end, the eldest prince couldn't stand the pain, and the hand holding his head slowly loosened and fainted.
Zhan Nan looked at the eldest prince at his feet, shook his head and said to himself: "If you are obedient, who is willing to treat you like this, after all, with the essence and blood of our Xiangliu lineage, it is equivalent to a family, who will not feel sorry for their own children?"
He had a sad look on his face.
"It's a pity, disobedient. As the old saying goes, if a small tree is not repaired, it will not slip straight, and a child will not be able to play a weapon. ”
......
About an hour later, the wind was slightly cool, and the eldest prince woke up.
He didn't have any alcohol at this time, turned his head to look at Fengming Pavilion, and saw that everything in the room was the same as it was, he walked to the front of the main seat, looked at the newly changed table, and touched his face.
The brand-new table and the pain in his face told him that something had happened.
He glanced at Zhan Nan, who was standing respectfully on the side, and the horror in his eyes flashed.
"Zhan...... Mr. Cham. He paused, still thinking that it would be more appropriate to call him Mr.
"In. Zhan Nan bowed his head slightly, showing respect, he was very satisfied with the attitude of the eldest prince now, and the moment he lowered his head, he smiled.
"I remember that Mr. Zhan didn't say that he had something to do?" the eldest prince stared at Zhan Nan tightly, breathing a little heavily.
Zhan Nan tucked his long hair loose on his sideburns and smiled cruelly.
"Yes, this is a good time for you to become the prince in your right words. ”
The eldest prince was shocked, but he still pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Now, what do you say?"
"The Holy Emperor has left Chang'an, and now the one who is competing with you for the crown prince is only your dear tenth brother, who has the support of a group of civil officials. The Holy Emperor is not here, you just need to determine when he will go to the Hanlin Academy tomorrow to study with a group of sour and rotten literati, you just need to help him find a place with good feng shui between his dormitory and the Hanlin Academy. ”
Xuanyuan's body trembled slightly.
He naturally understood what Zhan Nan meant, and he didn't kill anyone. But killing countless people on the battlefield is not the same as having to kill your younger brother who is only a young student, even if that brother is only half-brother.
"Why, the eldest prince who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years will tremble?"
The eldest prince glanced at Zhan Nan, and could only take a deep breath and said, "The tenth brother is gone, and there are other brothers." ”
"Can those people fight?" the eldest prince shook his head.
"But if the father ......" Zhan Nan shook his head and said, "You want to say that His Majesty the Holy Emperor can appoint whoever he wants, but waste some time to cultivate again, right?"
The eldest prince nodded.
Zhan Nan's mouth curled slightly, his back against the courtyard, and it was dark behind him. The wind blew, rolling in a few green leaves in the yard, and blowing Zhannan's hair away again.
He looked a little strange and terrifying, gently pouting his slender fingers, his voice changed suddenly, and he said something that made the eldest prince a little frightened.
"What if he doesn't come back?"
The eldest prince stayed where he was, although he always felt that his father was not good to him, but after all, he was the one who accompanied him from childhood to adulthood, and when he heard this, his head went blank.
Fight to fight, trouble to trouble, but he never thought about what it would be like after his father left.
He stayed where he was, if it weren't for Zhan Nan's sudden ability to control him before, he would definitely kill this "rebellion".
"Why, the battle-hardened prince is actually afraid? If your father and younger brother disappear at the same time, isn't this position of the Holy Emperor like a treasure trove? Think about it. ”
The eldest prince swallowed his saliva, the tenderness in his eyes turned into fierceness, and he shook his head and said, "Don't be afraid." ”
"Well, it's not too late, your brother doesn't have a queen mother to take care of, you can go and give him some care tonight! Remember, find out his itinerary tomorrow, and you can accompany this brother well." When the time comes, I will find a way to create chaos in the palace, and you should know what to do next, right?"
The eldest prince asked a little bitterly, "Do you have to do it yourself?"
"Non-toxic husband, small amount is not a gentleman, you do it safest. ”
He stood there for a long time, then finally sighed and nodded.
"Okay, I'll enter the palace today. ”
......
The eldest prince only entered the palace on the front foot, and someone on the back foot entered the Buzheng Fang and arrived at the Guo Mansion.
Guo Jinghui was looking at the excerpts handed over by officials at all levels, and he wanted to pick out the ones that needed to be decided by the Holy Emperor, and then the Holy Emperor would discuss them with the three elders.
A gust of wind blew, and there was one more person in the room.
He was not wearing armor, but Guo Jinghui shouted at him, "General Dong." ”
This person is the Holy Emperor's personal guard, Dong Cheng of the Imperial Forest Army.
"Didn't the Holy Emperor order it, did you come to me only when there was movement in the palace?"
"But you also said that the eldest prince has to report any movement. ”
Guo Jinghui's hand holding the pen shook, and a line of ink was sprinkled on the fold.
"Could it be?"
Dong Cheng said lightly: "Sure enough, as Guo Lao expected, the eldest prince entered the palace late at night and went to the tenth prince's bedroom. ”
Guo Jinghui waved his hand, indicating that he knew, and Dong Cheng disappeared.
The old man stood up, walked to the door, looked at the leaves that had been knocked down by the rain, stood with his hands in his hands, and sighed: "Xuanyuan Chi, don't let people down!"
