: There is a hidden edge in the words, but the words are trapped in a cage

The old housekeeper Li Youliu shivered and was about to step forward to help Xiaoyao Wang Li Xiao.

Li Xiao's hair was disheveled, and he pushed Li Youliu away with an angry look. He approached Di Renjie with frivolous steps, breathing heavily, and the smell of alcohol sprayed on Di Renjie's face:

"Di Renjie"

His face turned red and he hesitated to speak.

Li Youliu looked around and shouted loudly:

"Play music and dance!"

Seven orchids gracefully entered the main hall from the back courtyard, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestral music suddenly started, and the orchids danced gracefully, blocking the sight and hearing of everyone in the hall.

Everyone stretched their necks slightly, trying to hear the conversation between the prince and Di Renjie, but the music and dancing were too loud and they couldn't hear anything.

Prince Li Zhong drank a glass of wine with an expressionless face, his eyes were empty, and his mind was wandering to nowhere.

Zhao Xiaoyin's big eyes rolled, and a wooden knot slipped out from the sleeve of his brocade robe. The wooden knot fell to the ground and transformed into a small toad. It swayed towards Di Renjie and King Xiaoyao. The music was playing too loudly and there was no one around.

Notice this.

He is so close, he must be a good man, right? I heard from Brother Zhao that many nobles in the court have this habit. Di Renjie shrank when he looked at Li Xiao's rosy face and blurred eyes due to the smell of alcohol.

He shrunk his neck and took two steps back without leaving a trace.

"Are you afraid of me? Haha" King Xiaoyao let out a long breath and fell to the ground. Li Youliu wanted to help him, but he pushed him away and waved him away.

After Li Youliu retreated to a distance, Xiaoyao King Li Xiao spoke in a low voice:

"Di Renjie, have you ever lied in your life?"

Di Renjie tossed the hem of his clothes, sat down on the floor, and said, neither humble nor arrogant, "I told you."

"The case two years ago." Li Xiao stared at the ground with twinkling eyes.

"No."

Di Renjie said solemnly: "They deserved their death."

King Xiaoyao was silent, then suddenly raised his head, changed the topic and said:

"How did the emperor's brother die?"

"Harmed by traitors!" Di Renjie stared back with a serious look on his face.

"Whose last name is it?"

"Yuan Tiangang!"

"Fart!" Li Xiao yelled: "Then why does the edict say that he died suddenly due to illness?"

"The king of a country was killed by a sorcerer in the capital. If he told the world truthfully, it would bring shame to the Li Tang royal family!" Di Renjie's voice was hoarse and he stared at Li Xiao intently.

"At that time, I was out with my troops and was not in the palace.

But when the emperor's brother died, the people nearby were not only Wu Meiniang, but also Xiao Shufei, and the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital." Li Xiao took another sip of wine and slapped the wine glass on the table:

"The surnames in Qinghe said that the emperor's brother died at the hands of Wu Meiniang, and Wu Meiniang relied on the emperor's favor to poison him.

The Li family said that it was Wu Meiniang who murdered the emperor's brother.

The Zhu family and the Liu family also said that the traitor was the Wu family's Mei Niang!

And you, Di Renjie, were just the right-hand man following Di Zhisun on errands at that time. How did you know that you were not in the capital?"

"Brother Zhao told me." Di Renjie's voice was steady.

"Zhao Wujiang? Haha." Li Xiao shook his head and chuckled:

"The imperial brother treated him well, favored him, and gave him a high official and generous salary, but he and the Wu family betrayed the emperor's favor."

"You are wrong, Li Xiao!" Di Renjie's voice was cold and he called King Xiaoyao by his first name.

Li Xiao glared angrily for a moment, and saw Di Renjie lowering his body, glaring at the wolf, his eyes like sharp knives:

"The late emperor always wanted to continue the prosperity of Zhenguan, strive for the solid foundation of the Tang Dynasty, and reuse talented people, which is why Brother Zhao was given the position of Secretary Supervisor.

The late emperor passed away and the country had no backbone. To whom would the country be left?

Prince?

The two princesses of Concubine Xiao Shu?

Or you?"

Li Xiao was speechless and his lips moved.

"Brother Zhao often told me that history is inevitable. The situation at that time, when Empress Wu ascended the throne, was inevitable!" Di Renjie said:

"Now that the world is peaceful and peaceful, the people are recuperating and recuperating, there is no war or chaos, and there is no worry of tyranny. Is this what a traitor can do after seeking to usurp the throne?

Moreover, you have never really looked at Brother Zhao, nor have you truly realized how powerful this man is.

When you returned to Beijing, he was suffering from a serious illness for the sake of the people and had gradually disappeared from public view.

If you had seen his ability, you would know that if he was determined to support the original Empress Wu to ascend the throne, there would be no need to murder the late emperor! Let alone say anything to persuade Empress Wu."

Li Xiao took a long breath and said:

"In the Tang Dynasty, the surname is Li after all."

Di Renjie shook his head and said:

"In the Sui Dynasty, Yang and Tang Dynasties, Li was the surname of the king, not the surname of the capital.

From the Sui Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the people in this world were still the same people, but they only inherited some descendants of the blood. These Li people were the real masters of the Tang Dynasty. The surname of the Tang Dynasty was not Li, but Baijia.

And your lord, don’t you think so?”

"Your false words." Li Xiao's eyes dodge for a moment.

"My lord, behind you is the map of my departure from Hangu Pass to the west. You must have always believed in Dao Li, right?"

Since you believe in Tao and Li, you naturally understand that the world is not a family.

You have been absent from the court for a long time, leading troops all year round, and would rather live in the poisonous land of Lingnan than enter the capital, and do not get involved in any government affairs. But since you returned to the capital, everything has been different." Di Renjie's eyes were like daggers, and he asked step by step.

:

"Why did you return to Beijing?

The Li clan in Qinghe you just mentioned deceived you with their lies, so when you returned to Beijing, were you also tempted by them?"

Li Xiao stared at Di Renjie blankly, his eyes twinkling.

Di Renjie will never stop dying if his words are not surprising:

"You have a close personal relationship with His Royal Highness, right?

Do you want to rebel, or are you being deceived into rebelling?"

Li Xiao's eyes widened and he looked around. He found that no one was strange. He lowered his voice and said angrily:

"Di Renjie, shut up!"

"Brother Zhao said, make bold assumptions and verify carefully." Di Renjie suddenly laughed, with a hint of madness deep in his eyes:

"If you want to rebel, then many things can be explained.

You hold a banquet with tangerines from the south and tangerines from the north. You want to imitate Qin and Zhao Gao and treat deer like horses.

You have a large number of troops, and you are of the royal family of Li Tang. If you raise your arms, some veterans who are loyal to Li Tang will inevitably follow you.

And you are arrogant and have second thoughts about going on pilgrimage. You are truly a scumbag."

Li Xiao's lips trembled, and he had murderous intentions in his heart.

Di Renjie's smile gradually faded, and he said in a drawled voice: "Good chess pieces."

Xiaoyao King Li Xiao was stunned. What do you mean by an out-and-out good chess piece? Am I just a chess piece? No, I am being used?

Di Renjie was also stunned. Suddenly, he asked for no reason: "Li Xiao, where is your military talisman?"

"Ah?" Li Xiao didn't know why.

Not far away, Zhao Xiaoyin was stroking a small wooden toad in his hand. It was exactly the same as the small toad that just walked towards Di Renjie and the two of them. They were a yin and yang pair.

The little toad's mouth kept opening and closing, Zhao Xiaoyin read the lip language, and his little face gradually wrinkled. The conversation between Uncle Dia and Uncle Huang revealed many details.

Most of the elders of Li Tang were loyal to the late emperor. Many people knew this, including him who often heard his mother talking to his father. He mentioned that these elders acquiesced in their behavior and had always been against each other as long as they did not rebel in real terms.

Disturb each other.

Now that he heard Di Renjie's last question, he didn't know why. His little face was full of doubts. He touched the wooden toad in his hand. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something. His eyes widened and he stood hurriedly.

He stood up and was about to say a reminder.

Just hearing a horrified cry from the direction of Di Renjie and Xiaoyao Wang Li Xiao:

"It's not good, the prince was murdered by Di Renjie with his sword drawn."

The dancing Hu Ji screamed in fear and ran away, and the guests were in a commotion. Looking in that direction, they saw King Xiaoyao lying in a pool of blood, with a sword stuck in his chest. Di Renjie's hands were covered with blood, and he turned around in surprise, and then he was rushed towards the palace.

The soldier fell to the ground.
