Chapter 22 The Poor Man

On the same day, there was a rumor in the palace that the Turks were invading. The Holy Emperor made a strategic plan and sent General Qin Wang Li Shimin to lead the army.

As soon as the Tiance Mansion responded to the banishment, all those who were demoted were reinstated and went with the King of Qin to conquer the Turks.

At dusk, when the prince arrived at the Qian Palace, Li Yuanji looked at the expressionless Li Jiancheng with an unhappy expression.

"Brother, why did the father let the second son go to war? Aren't you afraid that the second son will support the army and respect himself? If the second brother is allowed to leave Chang'an and regain military power, isn't this the same as letting the tiger return to the mountain?" Li Yuanji said, "We have to think of a way to be trapped.

I will also trap my second son to death in Chang'an City."

A trace of worry flashed in Li Jiancheng's eyes, and then he said calmly, "What's the hurry? It's just a rumor, not a decision from the court. Besides, the three armies have not moved, and food and grass go first. This is not a matter of sending troops."

It can be easily produced, including troops, food and grass, weapons, and civilians, which one does not require time?"

"But brother, there is something wrong with this rumor." Li Yuanji said, "Everyone knows that the second brother has achieved great success and has no title. Logically speaking, he will definitely not lead the army. Father knows that such an action will definitely cause trouble in the future.

Infinite, but why is this rumor coming out?"

Li Jiancheng thought for a moment and said two words, "Sister."

Li Yuanji's expression changed and he said, "Is it really my sister? If it is my sister, it is not impossible."

"My sister was once the general of the Women's Army. There are many old people among the soldiers in this world. Even if my second brother regains the military power, as long as my sister doesn't say anything, he will never be able to change the world." Li Jiancheng said, "So, my father, the emperor

This is where my confidence lies.”

"Brother, my father is not afraid, but we are different." Li Yuanji said, "Don't forget the old events of the Sui Dynasty. The events of Yang Yong are still fresh in our minds. The second brother is a shrewd person than Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty."

"It is still necessary to go into the palace to explore the situation." Li Jiancheng said, "Let your Princess Qi enter the palace to pay homage to your mother, and also ask her to go to the Second Concubine Yin and Zhang to inquire about it."

Li Yuanji looked troubled and said hesitantly, "My mother doesn't want to see me because of Chen Shanshan's affairs. My father also refused to give me an interview for this reason."

A trace of contempt flashed in Li Jiancheng's eyes. You also know that this is a good thing you did? You, Li Yuanji, will never be able to wash away your reputation of being mean and ungrateful in this life.

Then he pondered for a while and said, "In that case, I asked the Crown Princess to take Princess Qi to pay respect to the Queen Mother. I don't think anyone can criticize me. Sanhu, if your father doesn't let you go, if you don't go, isn't it a breach of filial piety?"

?It’s very detrimental to your reputation.”

"My elder brother taught me a lesson, but Sanhu was careless. I, Li Tang, founded the country with benevolence and filial piety, and Sanhu should set an example for his subjects."

A trace of anger flashed in Li Yuanji's eyes, but he had to salute Li Jiancheng, but he thought in his heart, "If it weren't for the second child being too difficult and you, the prince, need to stand in front of him, who would be willing to listen to you and wait for the second child?"

If you fall, I will kill you."

Li Jiancheng immediately helped Li Yuanji up and said, "Brothers, you and me, don't be so different. You must know that after a hundred years, the throne will eventually be yours. It will be a good story for brothers to succeed each other."

I, Li Yuanji, who painted this cake, am not your biological son. With your attitude towards Li Shimin, can I, Li Yuanji, trust you? If you want to test me, just say it clearly. Do you think I am really stupid for being so roundabout?

Li Yuanji kept muttering in his heart, but with a look of shame on his face, he said to Li Jiancheng, "Brother, what are you talking about? My goal is that I, Li Tang, will be forever strong. How can I compete with my nephew to be a wealthy and idle king for the rest of my life?"

That’s enough for me.”

Li Jiancheng smiled and said, "Sanhu, what you said is wrong. Chengdao is young and still needs a lot of help from you as Uncle Wang. Why do you want to be a wealthy and idle king for the rest of your life?"

But he never mentioned the matter of brotherhood and brotherhood again.

Li Yuanji knew Li Jiancheng's plan. Why would brother and brother finally meet after a hundred years? Do you believe that the first person Li Jiancheng wanted to kill before his death was himself? So as to pave a way for his son.

If he shows any covetousness for the throne, Li Jiancheng will never be merciful. At this time, he and Li Jiancheng are still on the same rope. If they fall out too early, Li Shimin will definitely get the advantage of this fisherman.

So the two brothers looked at each other with ulterior motives and smiled. It looked like they were really brothers and sisters, a harmonious scene. They changed the topic in a tacit understanding and talked about some things in the court. Then Li Yuanji stood up and left.

When he went out, Li Yuanji saw Zheng Guanyin walking slowly towards her. The greedy look in his eyes flashed across his eyes. He was shocked every time he saw the princess, but it was a pity that she was not his woman.

When Zheng Guanyin saw Li Yuanji, she immediately lowered her head and performed the Wanfu prayer, "I have met His Highness King Qi."

Li Yuanji put away his evil thoughts, bowed to Zheng Guanyin, and said, "I have met the Crown Princess. I just discussed with the Crown Prince's brother that tomorrow I will bother my sister-in-law to take Zhuo Jing to the Queen Mother to pay her respects."

"It should be so." Zheng Guanyin said, and the ethereal voice sounded in Li Yuanji's ears. The evil thoughts that Li Yuanji had suppressed suddenly came out again, and his heart was suddenly full of jealousy towards Li Jiancheng. Wasn't it better than me?

Born a few years earlier, why should the throne be yours and the beauty still be yours? All of these should be mine, Li Jiancheng. One day, all of these will be mine.

You, Li Jiancheng, are nothing but a useless person who is incompetent in both writing and martial arts. Why?

Before his jealousy burned his brain, Li Yuanji hurriedly said to him, "Brother Chen, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Looking at Li Yuanji's disappearing figure, a trace of disdain flashed across Zheng Guanyin's face, hehe, man.

Do you really think you don’t know what he is thinking? What’s the difference between that greedy look and that of a wild beast when it sees its prey?

None of the men from the Li family are good. They are indeed of vulgar Hu origin. I, the Zheng family of Xingyang, have been inherited from the Western Han Dynasty to this day, and I am a Han Zhengshuo. Now I am asked to serve the Hu people with my body. It is really disappointing.

ah.

The Li family of the Tang Dynasty claimed to be the Li family of Longxi, but they were actually the Li family of Zhaozhou. They were originally the Daye family of Xianbei. They later moved to Guan Nei and claimed to be from Guan Nei. Perhaps they felt that the surname Hu was embarrassing, so they changed the surname to Li, which is far-fetched.

It's shameless to say that you are the Li family of Longxi.

The records of the Confucian scholars in the family are very clear. If Li Tang had not taken over the country, how could I, the legitimate daughter of a powerful family like me, marry someone like Li Jiancheng? Perhaps this was a trick of fate.

After Zheng Guanyin entered the palace, Li Jiancheng didn't even raise his head and said to Zheng Guanyin, "Sanhu told you just now that you will take Princess Qi to the palace tomorrow to inquire about my sister.

Then tell the Second Concubine Yin and Zhang that it’s time to take out that thing.”

Zheng Guanyin looked at her man and responded in a low voice.

Li Jiancheng stood up, walked to Zheng Guanyin, held up Zheng Guanyin's face with his hands, and said, "My beloved concubine, if this matter comes to pass, I will be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and you will be the master of the harem."

Zheng Guanyin looked at Li Jiancheng's somewhat crazy eyes, and sighed softly in her heart. Harem, harem, these men, besides power, are beautiful, but do they have any choice? For power, for the throne, what else?

A disgusting feeling surged up from the bottom of Zheng Guanyin's heart. Zheng Guanyin closed his eyes and forced himself to dispel the discomfort. He was not alone and could not be willful. The fate of his family, his children, and everything else was at stake.

Tie it to the man in front of you.

As soon as I entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea. I wanted to go back to the past, when I was still the carefree eldest daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang. But this is fate. The children of the aristocratic family must bear the glory and destiny of the family.

"Go, my concubine, and have a good rest. You don't have to go to bed tonight. You have to pay your respects to your mother tomorrow." Li Jiancheng said with a smile, with some trembling in his voice, "A perfect person like my concubine is so lonely.

But I will feel sad for a long time."

When Li Jiancheng's voice sounded, Zheng Guanyin suddenly opened his eyes and saw the riding whip in Li Jiancheng's hand. He turned around and fled out of the hall. The feeling of fear was like a pair of big hands tightly holding his throat. Zheng Guanyin thought of the unbearable things he had done over the years.

day.

This is a devil's cave, Li Jiancheng is the devil, and he is the devil's toy.

Li Jiancheng's crazy laughter came from the hall, just like the cry of the previous few days, which was like a demonic sound penetrating his ears, constantly surrounding Zheng Guanyin's ears. Zheng Guanyin ran wildly, falling down countless times along the way.

The moment he returned to the palace, Zheng Guanyin slumped against the corner. The maids' exclamations came from around him. He saw Zheng Guanyin covering his ears like a helpless little girl, and his body was shaking uncontrollably.

As if suffering great pain.

When he raised his face, his frightened face was already covered with tears.

A setting sun hangs on the palace wall, gradually disappearing, so the light withdraws from the world, the darkness of the world and the darkness of the palace gradually merge into one, and it is unknown who is immersed in whose darkness.

Something happened, so I updated a little later
