Prince Li Chengqian has always been a domineering person. He is not really open-minded. He is easily angered and especially likes to express his anger on others. He often deals with his subordinates at will for trivial matters. Thousands of people in the Mandong Palace have long understood this fact.
, whenever they see that the momentum is not right, everyone will hide as far away as possible, and will never ask for trouble if nothing happens. Otherwise, if it is a fish in a pond, it may not even be possible to save their own lives. No, of course.
Today, when the sound of banging things was heard again in the Xiande Hall, all the servants in Mandong Palace hurriedly ran away. No one wanted to be the unlucky "fish in the pond". Others could run away.
They were able to get away, but Zhang Shizheng and Hegan Chengji, who were targeted by the prince, had nowhere to escape. They could only stand in the main hall and endure the prince's boundless anger.
"Trash! They are all trash! Aren't they all bragging about their skills? They are all very impressive all day long, but what if they meet Xiaoba? They beat each other two times, and they were beaten to a pulp. You are so majestic.
Where have they all gone? Huh?" Li Chengqian cursed angrily with a red face, grabbed a wine bottle in front of him, smashed it out, hit the wall, and made a "bang" sound, and he was stunned to find the good thing.
The bronze wine bottle was smashed into several pieces.
Li Chengqian was just making excuses. How could he not know that Li Zhen was extremely skilled in martial arts? In fact, when Zhang Shizheng and others returned from defeat two days ago, they did not see Li Chengqian doing anything. The reason why he took this matter as a reference at this time was that
It's just because he was in a really bad mood at this time. Without him, Li Zhen got engaged, and the old man actually issued an edict to grant amnesty to the world. This kind of honor was something that even the prince had never enjoyed when he got engaged. It was nothing more than that, it happened in the streets.
There are also rumors circulating that Li Chengqian has fallen out of favor and will be replaced by Li Zhen. Even in the East Palace, such rumors are spread. How can Li Chengqian be stable? However, he does not dare to scold his old man, so he has to use
The servants came to vent their anger, and it happened that Zhang Shizheng and his two men had just entered the palace to report the matter, so they unfortunately had to act as a "punching bag".
"Your Highness, please calm down. Your Highness, please calm down." Xiao Jun hurriedly ran into the Xiande Hall and kept saying words to dissuade him. Not to mention, the prince was so angry that no one in Mandong Palace was afraid of him. He really could persuade the prince.
Xiao Jun was the only one. Usually, if the prince was angry, the servants would always go to Xiao Jun for a moment, hoping that he could come forward to persuade him. However, Xiao Jun rarely did things like putting out the fire.
For a moment, the current situation was not good. Xiao Junsheng was afraid that Li Chengqian would be furious and miss important events. As soon as he learned the news about the crown prince's work, he rushed to the Xiande Palace. "Mr. Xiao came just in time, and I was so angry!
I get angry when I look at these two useless things. I provide them with delicious food and drink. I enjoy the glory and wealth on weekdays, but when I need them, they are of no use at all. Hum.
, Trash, why don't you bring Xiaoba's head to me if you have the ability, otherwise it will be a serious injury, this time it's better, let Xiaoba be proud, that bastard Xiaoba, according to me, is just
You should be killed with a thousand swords!" As soon as he saw Xiao Jun arriving, Li Chengqian's anger decreased a bit, but he continued to curse. After scolding Zhang and He Gan, he scolded Li Zhen again.
.
The prince's scolding of Zhang and He Qian was false, but his scolding of Li Zhen was true. Xiao Jun knew this well, and it was only because of the edict of amnesty for the world. Although he understood it clearly, Xiao Jun did not dare to discuss this topic.
If you say anything more, it will add fuel to the fire. In desperation, I can only smile and say: "Your Highness, there is no need to be like this. The King of Yue is about to go to Qizhou. He is afraid that he will jump into a volcano.
You may not be able to come back, so why bother bothering your Highness with a dying person?"
Although Li Chengqian is a mediocre person, he is not a fool. He is naturally aware of the current situation in Qizhou. It is probably true to say that it is a volcanic crater. It is not a good thing to go there to declare the decree. All parties have different opinions.
No one in front of him really hoped that Li Zhen could bring Lao Liu back to the capital safely, even the king of Wu was probably no exception. But when he thought of Li Zhen's martial arts and military strategies, Li Chengqian was really uneasy.
, once Li Zhen really lets Li Zhen bring Lao Liu back to the capital, and the truth about the Nianzhuang murder case is revealed, then Li Chengqian will not only keep his position as prince, but his life will be in danger, and he will be in danger like this.
But he didn't want to take any chances. After listening to Xiao Jun's words, his anger calmed down, but his heart rose again. He pointed at Zhang and He Qian uneasily and said: "Only those two of them are capable of doing this."
How can I get Xiaoba? But I don’t believe it!”
Not to mention that Li Chengqian didn't believe it, even Xiao Jun didn't quite trust the abilities of Zhang and He Gan, but these two were already the strongest masters that the prince could get, so they could only make do with each other. Besides,
The place in Qizhou was originally just a show to cover the eyes, but in fact the main event was in the capital. Xiao Jun knew this well, but he couldn't explain it clearly to a person of Li Chengqian's temper.
, he could only smile bitterly and shake his head, saying nothing.
He Qiancheng is basically a Jianghu assassin. Since he joined the prince, he has enjoyed a lot of glory, wealth, money, and beautiful women. He has been loyal to the prince for a long time. When he saw that the prince looked down on his skills, he was extremely angry.
But he didn't dare to refute. After all, he also knew very well that Li Zhen's martial arts was indeed superior to his. Even if he wanted to fight hard, he couldn't fight. He was just convinced. He Gan Chengji was not reconciled. He took a step forward and said
"Your Highness, I am not good at martial arts. If I lose, I shall be punished by Your Highness. However, I have a senior brother whose martial arts skills are higher than Xiao's. He is enough to kill that fellow. It happens that he is in the capital, and I will allow him to go."
Invited, but a certain senior brother asked for a very high price, this..."
"It doesn't matter! No matter how much it costs, I agree. Go quickly, go quickly!" Upon hearing that there was a master who could kill Li Zhen, the prince immediately became energetic and agreed repeatedly.
"Yes, little one, let's go and do it now." He Qian Chengji bowed respectfully, and he and Zhang Shizheng exited the hall, leaving without mentioning anything.
"Your Highness, don't lose the big by being small. The important place is in the capital." After He, Qian and Chengji exited the hall, Xiao Jun, who had been silent all the time, reminded him carefully.
"It doesn't matter." Li Chengqian, who was originally furious, had already lost the crazy energy just now. He smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "Why don't I know that Qizhou is a fictitious thing and Chang'an is a real thing? If it weren't for the purpose of hiding it,
Man, why do I have to be so pretentious? Alas, after so many years, I have long been tired of acting. It doesn’t matter if it comes to a conclusion, whether it succeeds or fails, I can finally be relieved.” After a pause, he continued.
He said: "Sir, all the troops and horses have been arranged. Although I have a benevolent heart, I still hope to succeed. I leave everything to you, sir."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I have already discussed it with Duke Hou, and everything is ready. We just need to wait for the war to start in various places, and then we can take advantage of the situation." Xiao Jun's eyes turned red for no reason, and a few tears fell down, and he said choked with sobs.
"That's good. I'll leave everything in my hands to Mr. Hou. Well, Mr. Hou, I would like to ask you to pay more attention. After the matter is completed, you can't 'treat' Mr. Hou badly." Li Chengqian's eyes flashed with a stern look.
He emphasized the word "bad treatment" very hard, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his voice.
"Yes, I should do as His Highness wishes." Xiao Jun understood Li Chengqian's words, nodded, bowed, and exited the hall, leaving Li Chengqian alone in the hall.
Stupefied...
The edict of amnesty for the world is not a trivial matter, and all the princes who care about the throne are extremely concerned about it. Not only the prince, but also King Li Tai of Wei hurried back to his palace after hearing the news, and hurried to find Su
Xu went to discuss it.
"Uncle, didn't you say that the Sacred Heart belongs to Xiao Wang? How come Xiao Ba will have such an honor of amnesty this time? It is almost the same as the prince's treatment when he got married. Is there anything strange here?"
As soon as they entered the study room, and barely had time to take a breath, Li Tai started talking hurriedly.
Su Xu had already learned about the amnesty and figured out the key to it. Seeing that Li Tai was unreasonably anxious, Su Xu immediately frowned and said unceremoniously: "Your Highness, sir.
"Impatient, how can a person who has achieved great things be startled by a trivial matter and spread the word about how His Highness will take over the East Palace in the future?"
Su Xu's words were extremely rude. Li Tai's expression changed, but he did not dare to do anything to his uncle. He sat down quite dejectedly and said with a wry smile: "Uncle, isn't this what I am worried about? Isn't this the case?"
Is there something else going on?"
"What's there to say? It's just a game. Your Majesty is the one who arranged the plan. Basically, he just used the King of Yue to lure all kinds of ambitious people. Why is Your Highness so anxious to follow?" Su Xu said coldly.
"Plan?" Li Tai murmured something, and suddenly said with enlightenment: "If this is really a game, then the prince and the third child will jump into it even if they know it is a game. Okay
In this game, my father’s methods are so clever that it’s chilling!”
"It's enough that Your Highness can see this. You must know that too much is not enough. Although conspiracy is good, it is not the right way. Saints have to do it as a last resort. Your Highness can sit back and watch the changes in the situation. There is no need to disturb others. Well, there is no place for action."
You still have to prepare in advance, otherwise you may be in a hurry and cause trouble." Su Xu nodded and reminded him calmly.
Li Tai gritted his teeth and said: "My uncle is right. Since this situation has been set up, I will just dance with my father's footsteps. I will notify you and let the 'ringing bell' be fully activated to give Xiaoba more time."
A handful of firewood will make the fire burn brighter, and Qin Wenwen will immediately contact important ministers to prepare for contingency."
