Zhao Yi quickly disappeared in the shadows of the courtyard. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Lang stayed where he was, watching Zhao Yi disappear into the shadows, and his heart was also full of emotion.

Ordinary people fail to do things, they fail, it's a big deal to get a hangover, yell at the sky a few times that the sky won't help me, and then decadent for a few months and a half, they will slowly forget the pain and plan to start all over again.

The prince can't do it, the prince has failed, and the heads of a family or even a domain have landed.

Therefore, the identity of the prince is extremely beautiful on the outside, but on the inside, he is actually walking on thin ice, trembling day and night.

Zhao Yi, the second prince, is even worse, Li Lang has been in the scene for many years, and he clearly knows that this second prince who is ruthless and impetuous on the outside is actually very fragile inside.

Although this second prince is not the crown prince, he has been praised by the world because of his mother's prominent family power, which has led to the illusion that he should not be reduced to an innocuous foil, and should not be honestly a real second prince.

So he has been using hypocritical teeth and claws to show his existence.

Like a spoiled child, his self-esteem is too strong, but his inner tenacity is insufficient.

When he stepped out of the palace with such a mentality, he was actually in an illusory state created by people for flattery, like a beautiful bubble that wrapped him firmly, and it was beautiful without wind or waves, but it couldn't be punctured.

Once the illusion is punctured, with the heart of a spoiled child, it will be completely ruined by the frustration of cruel reality.

And this time, Li Lang is taking the risk to puncture this layer of hypocritical bubbles, so that Zhao Yi can face the cruel battle for the throne of the royal family.

The worst guess put forward by Li Lang tonight directly tore off this gentle mask, and told Zhao Yi bluntly: His father, the emperor he respected the most, did not trust him and appreciate him, but deceived him and tried to destroy him.

Regardless of whether this speculation is true or not, Zhao Yi believes it anyway.

That's why Zhao Yi walked into the shadows alone, took off his darling's shell, and cried fiercely.

This should be the most painful blow Zhao Yi has ever received in his life, from the blow he has always relied on to revered his father.

Therefore, Li Lang stayed where he was, waiting for Zhao Yi's return, he wanted to see if the second prince Zhao Yi, after being stripped of his favorite shell, would he admit defeat in a sluggish manner? Or would he resolutely accept the cruel reality, take off the pompousness, and stumble again.

The shadow was quiet, and Li Lang was silently waiting for the return of the king.

.

North Forest Road.

It's still a yard.

Although it was already night, the courtyard was brilliantly lit, and there were constantly people shuttling back and forth in a hurry, which seemed very busy.

In the corridor in the courtyard, Zhang Kai and Chigoku, who had not been seen in Kyoto for a long time, hurriedly walked to the door of a side room, nodded to the guard at the door, and pushed the door in.

In the middle of the room sat a middle-aged man, with a clear face and an unusually clear look, as if a piece of amber penetrated by the sun.

Zhang Kai has a perverse personality, but as soon as he enters the door, he immediately salutes respectfully, and seems to respect this middle-aged man very much.

The middle-aged man asked lightly, "Where is the third child?"

He straightened his waist and looked at Qianshi, who replied steadily: "I can't find out, I don't know where the prince is hiding." ”

"Oh?" The middle-aged man didn't care about the answer itself, but joked to Qianshi with interest, "Is there anything else you can't find?"

"The subordinates are incompetent. Senshi replied steadily, without much mood swing.

The middle-aged man stopped laughing, bored.

Zhang Kai hurriedly coughed twice, and then reported: "The last few things in Jiangnan were sealed by the prince, and they were jointly signed by the five parties. The things here are almost ready, and I'll figure out how to deal with the gaps. ”

The middle-aged man snorted, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked: "I gave Zhao Xi a good time to catch it, and took this opportunity to catch the smuggling of weapons in a serious way, and deducted a treason charge for the second child." I haven't bothered with him in the past few years, but I have grown a little. ”

Zhang Kai echoed and smiled: "Yes, the prince's planning over the years has been getting better and better, and his subordinates have also gathered a good group of people. ”

The middle-aged man said: "It's just a little progress, but it's still a little immature, just moving your mouth between the six parts, and all your mouths are not as effective as fists." ”

Zhang Kai nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Guan Ping also said this, he said that the prince is too obsessed with the mouths of all the officials in the world, and he has to do things in full accordance with the legal process of Qingguo, and he spent so much time specifically to nail those crimes to death, and the daylilies are cold." ”

It seems that this funny sentence came from the mouth of the serious first assistant Guan Ping, which made the middle-aged man happy, and the middle-aged man grinned again and chuckled: "The daylily is cold, Zhao Xi has been slow to do it, grinding and chirping, in fact, he has been using the power of thunder from the beginning, and he has already collected all the things of the second child." ”

opened his eyes and flattered: "It's understandable that the prince is so cautious, after all, he is still afraid of you, so deal with the second child carefully, and look at your face by the way." ”

"Stupid. ”

The middle-aged man was disdainful: "I haven't spoken for so long, doesn't he understand what it means? ”

"Yes, the prince has lived in the East Palace for a long time, and he really lacks some courage, and he needs to go through it again. Zhang Kai agreed, but whispered in his heart: You are still in power, which son dares to blatantly reign over the world.

Zhang Kai's words unknowingly raised the prince's hand, and he hoped that the middle-aged man could give the prince more opportunities to grow, and among the princes, Zhang Kai loved the prince the most.

In fact, in Kyoto, most officials have the same thoughts as Zhang Kai.

Because the crown prince is the most powerful of the princes, and he is also the prince who needs the most 'help' from the officials.

The second prince is not liked by the officials, because he does not need 'arm help'.

The mother of the second prince is too powerful, Concubine Jing's father Lei Luo is accompanied by Emperor Qing to conquer the northern frontier marshal, deep cultivation of the northern forest road for many years, all the officials privately call him the king of the northern frontier, if such a prince ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, not only does not need arm help, but also needs the incumbent officials to donate at least half of the black gauze hat, both hands to the new Jin clan of the Lei clan.

Therefore, it is normal for Zhang Kai and others to not be very interested in the second prince.

The eldest prince's mother is not worried about letting much, the concubine Wu family is entrenched in the Western Desert Road all the year round, and the eldest prince is not obsessed with gaining power in Kyoto, and he gallops outside the border of the Western Desert all day long, and has long disappeared in the hearts of the officials like a foreigner.

The six princes are not in the climate, and they travel all day long, which is unbearable.

Therefore, it is still Zhao Xi's heart that wins the most officials and opens, and he is eager for quick success, and his words accidentally leak some tendencies to assist the prince.

The middle-aged man casually looked at the open, and the amber eyes seemed to go straight to the bottom of the open heart.

Zhang Kai broke out in a cold sweat in vain, and secretly scolded himself for being careless, the Qing Emperor was in his prime, ambitious and vowed to dominate the world, and he could never show his thoughts of choosing a young master.

Qianshi interjected at the right time, relieved the open Dou Realm, and Qianshi said: "The prince's recent people are very active in Beilin, and it seems that he wants to think about the control of the army here, will this affect the master's plan? ”

The middle-aged man thought for a moment and replied: "The transfer of troops can continue, and the others will not move for the time being, and then they will be calculated when Zhao Xi starts to do it." ”

"Master, you seem to know when Zhao Xi will do it?" asked Zhang Kai curiously.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Guess, it's almost over, this New Year's Festival, it is estimated that it will not pass." ”
