The wind whistled, the horses were speechless, and the people were also speechless.
Facing Li Yuanji's straightforward approach, Li Zhiyun wanted to ask, couldn't you remind me in a subtle way?
"What the fourth brother means is that the death of the second brother was caused by the eldest brother?"
"What else?" Li Yuanji said: "Think about it, the eldest brother deliberately slowed down his march just to wait for Jieli to defeat the second brother. I even suspect that he wanted to kill me too."
Li Zhiyun pursed his lips, thought for a while, and said: "But now that Liu Wenjing is dead, doesn't it mean that there is no evidence to prove her death?"
"That's right." Li Yuanji suddenly realized and thought of a wonderful rhetoric, and said quickly: "Fifth brother, think about it, Liu Wenjing used to be the eldest brother's humerus minister, but this time my father wanted to kill Liu Wenjing, but the eldest brother did not stop him.
He is trying to kill Liu Wenjing with a borrowed knife!"
Fortunately, this idiot is not very stupid. Li Zhiyun was shocked and said: "No, no, brother is not this kind of person."
"You!" Li Yuanji said, "You idiot, do you know that the second brother was awarded the title of General Tiance and the Minister of Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province, which threatened the eldest brother's status as the prince, so he
You were murdered by the prince, why are you still so naive!"
"But we are brothers!" Li Zhiyun retorted loudly and palely.
In the distance, the guards of King Qi and the guards of King Chu looked at each other, wondering what was going on.
Li Yuanji was not good at eloquence and didn't know how to persuade this stubborn little brother. He simply said: "Fifth brother, let me tell you the truth. The reason why I am reminding you this time is because you have been canonized as General Shence, which has aroused the prince's fear.
From now on, you have to be careful."
"But...but I have no ambition." Li Zhiyun said hurriedly.
Li Yuanji said mysteriously: "The prince will not stop dealing with you just because you have no ambitions. If you can threaten him now, he will deal with you. Think about the fate of the second brother. Our eldest brother is no longer the eldest brother before.
, he is now the crown prince of Tang Dynasty."
Li Zhiyun lowered his head in despair, as if he had lost hope in life.
Seeing this, Li Yuanji knew that his words had an effect.
After a while, Li Zhiyun raised his head and said: "Then if I resign as General Shence, I shouldn't be able to threaten my elder brother."
"Will Father agree?" Li Yuanji asked.
"Then what should I do?" Li Zhiyun was confused.
That's it!
Li Yuanji said: "There is a way, let's see if you are willing to do it."
"What can I do?"
"Fifth brother, how do you think fourth brother treats you?" Li Yuanji changed the topic and asked kindly, and Li Zhiyun almost failed to follow his train of thought.
After thinking about it, Li Zhiyun said: "The fourth brother treats his younger brother very well."
"Yes." Li Yuanji nodded, then revealed his true colors and said: "If you support the fourth brother's ascension to the throne, you and I will share the country in the future. In this way, you don't have to worry about being harmed by your elder brother in the future."
"Fourth brother, you..." Li Zhiyun was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He was so shocked that he was as shocked as he could be.
Li Yuanji asked: "Didn't expect that?"
Li Zhiyun didn't express his position, but just looked at him in disbelief. At this time, the shock was enough, and there was no need to make other expressions.
Li Yuanji pretended to sigh and said: "Do you think I want to do this? My eldest brother didn't force me. If he hadn't attacked my second brother this time, I wouldn't have taken the risk. If you think about it carefully, if he dares to murder his second brother now, in the future he will
I dare to plot to kill you and my brother. Don’t forget, we have military power in our hands, and my eldest brother will definitely be afraid of us!"
"But the eldest brother is the prince. How did you ascend to the throne, fourth brother?" Li Zhiyun asked dryly.
Li Yuanji said coldly: "If he is allowed to harm his second brother, doesn't he allow me to avenge his second brother?"
Depend on!
Are you mistaken? Li Yuanji, don't you know how false it is to say this? When the second brother was alive, you and the second brother had the most profound conflicts.
"Fourth brother, what do you want..." Li Zhiyun's lips trembled as he spoke, as if he was very scared.
Li Yuanji said helplessly: "Fifth brother, it's not that the fourth brother is cruel, but that we are desperate. If the eldest brother can attack the second brother, he will attack us."
At this point, when he saw that Li Zhiyun still looked scared, he said: "It's okay if you don't want to. Fourth brother hopes you won't interfere. If you don't avenge the second brother, I will avenge you!"
Li Yuanji is really righteous.
Li Zhiyun looked painful and said: "Why is this? Why is this? We are brothers!"
"Brothers?" Li Yuanji sneered and said: "In the eyes of the eldest brother, brotherhood is not as good as the throne of the emperor. It is also painful for me to make this decision. But the fifth brother, for the father, for the second brother, for you and me
How can I entrust the Tang Dynasty to such a person with my brother's life?"
Li Zhiyun was very speechless. If it were his second brother saying such words to him, he would not feel out of place, but if it were Li Yuanji, he would just feel it is very awkward, very inconsistent, and even very fake.
But unfortunately, he still had to accompany Li Yuanji to continue acting.
"Fourth brother, can't we have a good talk with our father?"
"No!" Li Yuanji stared at him fiercely and said, "If this matter is leaked, you and I will die without a burial place."
"The fourth brother is saying that the eldest brother suspects that we have the intention to seize the legitimate children. If we tell him, he will definitely not let us go, right?"
"That's right." Li Yuanji's eyes relaxed slightly, he reached out and patted Li Zhiyun on the shoulder, and said: "Fifth brother, I know you care about brotherhood, but why am I willing to do this? It's just that we have no way out. If not,
If we do, we will all be killed by the prince in the future, and even my father will not be able to die well."
Hearing this, Li Zhiyun fell into deep thought.
After a while of burning incense, Li Yuanji couldn't wait to ask: "Fifth brother, what are you going to do?"
Li Zhiyun pursed his lips and sighed: "Fourth brother, I don't want to care about anything. When the prince brother returns to the court, I will resign from the post of General Shence and ask my father to transfer me to Lingnan."
ha?
Li Yuanji looked at his little brother in shock, with a very complicated expression.
He really didn't expect that the fifth brother would still want to escape despite being in this situation.
"Now that Lingnan Feng Ang has not been eliminated, do you think my father will agree to send you there?"
The Jiaozhi Lingnan area was considered a dead place in the Tang Dynasty. The miasma and hot and humid environment in that ghost place were enough to kill people. Generally, officials who went to that place were either dismissed or dismissed.
"It doesn't matter, Fourth Brother. It just so happens that I request to lead troops to attack Lingnan." Li Zhiyun smiled sadly, "I can't do it, Fourth Brother, I really can't do it. Wuwuwu..."
Looking at Li Zhiyun crying, Li Yuanji felt both disdain and joy in his heart. If King Chu really went to Lingnan, his plan would go extremely smoothly.
"Okay, fourth brother won't force you. If fourth brother succeeds in the future, he will take you back to Chang'an to enjoy your happiness." Li Yuanji said kindly.
Li Zhiyun bit his lip and said: "Fourth brother, if you really succeed, please spare my elder brother's life. We brothers cannot kill each other."
Li Yuanji sighed: "I'll try my best."
The hunting was over here. Li Yuanji left with a satisfactory answer. Li Zhiyun was left riding a horse and looking at Chang'an City quietly.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the top of Chang'an City, and the red sun, as bright as blood, descends on Chang'an City.
In a daze, he seemed to see drops of thick blood falling from the red sun, dripping on Chang'an City, like sulfuric acid, and rising up like fireworks all over the city.
Not far away, King Qi and his party were rapidly approaching Chang'an City.
When their figures disappeared completely, Li Zhiyun stopped and laughed wildly.
