It was almost March, and the weather was getting hotter, but it was still very cold in the morning and evening. As soon as the sun went down, the wind was still biting and freezing, but for King Li Tai of Wei, this coldness seemed to not exist.
, it’s just Li Tai wearing two single clothes standing in front of the Daoxia Gate of Prince Yue’s Mansion with his face glowing red.
Holding his hands behind his back, he looked at the pair of stone lions in front of the palace with a smile. Even a fool could see the excitement on his face. However, Li Tai was so excited that he remained silent and ignored his companions.
Liu Dequan, who was beside him, was just smiling to please him. No one knew how happy he was.
"Fourth brother, I'm a little late. I've asked you to wait for a long time." Although Li Zhen strode out of the palace with a smile on her face, her face was pale and tight, and she looked weak as if she had not healed from an injury. Her voice was a little timid.
He exchanged quick greetings.
"Eighth brother, I'm sorry for you. Alas, when I heard that my eighth brother was injured, my brother's heart couldn't be at ease. Haha, why don't I rush to see my eighth brother and disturb my eighth brother's recovery?
That's it, it's a sin, it's a sin." As soon as he saw Li Zhen go out, Li Tai immediately took a few steps forward and looked at Li Zhen with pity on his face for a while, and then said sadly.
Come on, your acting skills are only at that level. Why are you pretending to be a wolf with a big tail? Damn it, you are a weasel giving New Year greetings to a chicken. There is no good intention at all! Li Zhen looked at Li fiercely in her heart.
He was relieved, but his face was full of emotion and he said: "Thank you Fourth Brother for your kindness. Fourth Brother can come. I feel warm in my heart. The injury is mostly healed."
"That's good, that's good, haha, it's good that eighth brother is fine." Li Tai said with a loving look, as if the improvement of Li Zhen's injury was really due to his coming to offer condolences, which made Li Zhen's heart
He rolled his head and rolled his eyes, feeling angry and funny, but also
Too lazy to talk more about this topic, he smiled and waved his hand and said: "Fourth brother, please come in. It's time for dinner today. Although I can't drink alcohol after being injured, I can still make do with tea.
How about I let my younger brother drink tea instead of wine and share a few cups with my older brother?"
"Haha..., okay, then let me talk about it, eighth brother, please!" Li Tai was not polite at all, he immediately hit the snake on the stick, waved his hand with a smile, and made the same gesture of invitation, both brothers
They looked at each other and smiled, and walked shoulder to shoulder into the second hall. A group of people from the palace were offering tea, wine, food and other items. The two brothers sat at both ends of the square table and started eating.
Li Tai was in a good mood and toasted frequently. He didn't use much of the food, but he drank the wine happily. Those in the capital chatted with people of all ages, but they didn't mention the reason for his visit, as if he really just came to visit.
Li Zhen is ordinary, but Li Zhen feels a little nagging in her heart.
He didn't believe that Li Tai who came to visit in such a hurry was really just for a living, but Li Tai didn't mention it, and Li Zhen didn't bother to ask. It was just a show of love. This thing Li Zhen
He was the best at it, just laughing and chatting with Li Tai like this.
Hehe, what a big test of patience. The two brothers talked a lot, and talked a lot of nonsense. In the end, it was Li Tai who couldn't hold it in anymore and drank the wine glass in his hand.
He slammed the table and said with an indignant look on his face: "Eighth brother, brother
Listen to what people are saying, some crazy bastards dared to openly assassinate Buddy. After failing once, they dared to do it again, even burning the military camp. This is unbearable! Buddy, just let it go.
Do it, with my brother here, we can’t let those thieves go unpunished!"
Huh? What does this kid mean? Damn it, it sounds like he is encouraging me to take action against the boss. It’s weird! When Li Zhen heard Li Tai’s words, she immediately tasted it and felt in her heart
I couldn't help but have a lot of doubts, but it was hard to ask. Besides, this matter was of great importance. How could Li Zhen really be honest with Li Tai?
At the end, when he heard that Li Tai was aggrieved for himself, he rolled his eyes, smiled and said: "Fourth brother Mingjian, I am still in the fog about this matter, and I don't know who wants to murder me. Alas, it's all my fault."
My little brother acts carelessly and offends a lot of people on weekdays, so he deserves to suffer this calamity. Fortunately, everyone is fine, so it’s over and it’s okay not to mention it.”
"What did the eighth brother say?" Upon hearing that Li Zhen seemed not to pursue the matter at all, Li Tai immediately became anxious, glared, and said angrily: "Eighth brother, you are a nobleman of my heavenly family.
, how can we allow Xiaoxiao to be so arrogant? If this matter is not
After further investigation, it is a bad start. How can we, the descendants of the Tian family, have peace? Not only for the eighth brother, but also for the face of my Tian family, this case must be solved. Those daring thieves must be investigated.
The thieves must be severely punished, how can we calm things down like this!"
Ah ha, the fox's tail is finally exposed, ***, I bet this kid is planning to ask me to come out to make trouble, so that he can get chestnuts out of the fire for him, hehe, damn, you really treat me as a fool, damn it
, look at me teasing you. As soon as Li Zhen heard this, she was completely
After finally understanding Li Tai's intention, he was secretly amused in his heart, but he didn't point it out. He just said with a bitter face: "Fourth brother taught you a lesson, but... alas. It's just without proof, and there's nothing I can do about it, right? It's just that...
Now that my father can make the decision, my younger brothers will have no choice but to do anything."
"You..." Seeing Li Zhen being so "unsatisfactory", Li Tai's nose was so angry that he was so angry that after panting for a while, he gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Eighth brother, don't worry, my brother will be with you in everything."
Well, I'm so scared. Besides, how can my father allow those villains who harm his brothers to run rampant? There is still justice in this world."
Killing his own brother? Ha, damn, the old man has done it himself. Damn it, the fourth bastard really can’t speak. Hey, if the old man hears this, he will definitely end up waiting for you.
You little ***, you want to enter the East
The palace was busy trying to get me to take action, but no one came forward. Li Zhen looked at Li Tai fiercely in her heart, but she also felt a little strange. Without him, Li Tai was still warm before the trip to Qizhou.
He is looking for Liu Qi, and plans to take it down personally.
Damn it, but it has only been a month and a half, but Li Tai has changed his mind and started to play the trick of killing people with borrowed knives. This does not look like Li Tai's domineering style at all, but more like the handiwork of an old man. Li Zhen cannot help but care about this.
I'm wary, but it's not good
When Mingming asked, he had no choice but to sigh and said: "What the fourth brother said is true, but my younger brother is now frustrated and has no real evidence. Who can believe it when he says he will go out? Besides, my father is wise and must not hide anything."
, it’s better to let Father make the decision.”
Li Zhen's words were obviously a little loose. The underlying meaning behind his words was that it was not that Li Zhen didn't want to be punished, but that he didn't want to be punished. Li Tai was also a shrewd person, so naturally he heard the subtext clearly and immediately cheered up.
, advised earnestly: "Eighth brother, don't worry, my father is a great leader of the generation, so he will naturally not wrong him. Eighth brother can stand upright, so why worry about so many things? As for the evidence, hey
Hey, although my brother is not talented, he can still find him. If necessary, he will definitely help his eighth brother to speak up. Well, by the way, the fifth brother has made such a big fuss this time. Father has already decreed that,
Preparing to conquer Qizhou, the eighth brother knows that this battle for command is a hot topic. Haha, with the name of the eighth brother's "General Star", he is the most talented in the three armies. It is the eighth brother who should hold this command seal. My brother is
I’m optimistic about my eighth brother.”
***, I’ve seen stupid people, but I’ve never seen anyone as stupid as you. ***, trying to tempt me with such a hot potato, I really don’t know where you made the wrong connection, hehe, whatever.
What the hell do you say? If I don’t do it, I won’t do it. Anyway, I’m not in a hurry if you’re anxious! When I heard that Li Tai was seducing me with his handsome seal,
Confusing herself, Li Zhen almost cried out in joy. Fortunately, Li Zhen had excellent control and did not laugh on the spot. She replied calmly: "The fourth brother's kindness is understood by me. It's just that I have just recovered from a serious injury."
, I really don’t have the ability to fight. My father knows this, so I just have to listen to my father’s arrangements.”
Seeing Li Zhen pushing and talking nonsense, but refusing to agree to take action against the prince, Li Tai was really angry. He glared and waited for action. But then he thought about it, almost everyone nowadays
The evidence is all in Li Zhen
Pulling on the palm of his hand, if Li Zhen is really offended, let alone using Li Zhen to deal with the prince, there is no chance that Li Zhen will hand over the evidence. This is related to whether he can enter the East Palace.
Important matters require willfulness
No, Li Tai had no choice but to suppress his anger, drank three large bottles of wine in silence, put the wine bottle in his hand heavily on the table, and said while holding back his anger: "
No matter what, it’s about what you should say
Brother has already said that the eighth brother will take care of it by himself. It's getting late, so the elder brother won't delay the eighth brother's recovery. Say goodbye!" As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up without giving Li Zhen a chance to stay.
He walked out with a livid face.
Hey, kid, you want to deceive me with your little ability, ha, damn, I don’t believe you can really hold it back. Li Zhen naturally understands the deliberately accented word "recuperate" in Li Tai's words.
"Meaning - left and right are nothing but threats
They just want to leave Li Zhen idle, but Li Zhen doesn't care about it at all. At this time of the storm, Li Zhen can't dream of making a fortune. As long as he can help the court and arrange people well, it will be enough.
As for whether he will show up in public?
It was secondary. Li Zhen, who had already made a plan in her heart, would not take Li Tai's irrelevant nonsense to heart. Seeing that Li Tai was about to leave, she got up hurriedly and said respectfully: "Fourth brother is leaving. I'll see you off, little brother."
You go out." As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't care about Li.
Tai's face looked so ugly, but he just kept smiling and sent Li Tai out of the palace gate. It wasn't until Li Tai's big sedan went far away that Li Zhen turned around with a smile and went back to the study to meet him.
The situation was recounted to the two counselors.
Listening to Li Zhen's vivid description, Mo Li and Nalong couldn't help but smile at each other. After laughing for a while, Mo Li smiled and shook his head and said: "This strategy is definitely not the original intention of the King of Wei. It was originally a plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife."
It's not King Wei's style, and he doesn't have the ability to carry out this plan, haha
, the secret was exposed as soon as he opened his mouth, which only made him laugh. It was certain that the King of Wei was still determined to plot the East Palace. Since he could not provoke His Highness to take action, the King of Wei could only go into battle shirtless. His Highness did not need to take it to heart.
Let’s wait until the army goes out for battle, King Wei will come again.”
"Yes, King Wei is domineering by nature and has never known the word courtesy. He is very eager to enter the East Palace. Everyone in the world knows it. Who doesn't know? Haha, it is a good idea to kill someone with a borrowed knife, but it is not suitable for King Wei to send him here. Wait.
When the King of Wei is in a hurry, His Highness can sharpen his sword and kill him once." Nalong said with a smile.
Hey, that's it, it's so nice to slaughter the fat sheep that was delivered to your door! Li Zhen was happy for a moment and didn't want to talk more about this matter. Seeing that it was already midnight, Pei Yan was on his mind. How many people did he see at this time?
The matter was generally discussed, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Two gentlemen, it's getting late. We should all go to bed early. If we have anything to do, how about we discuss it tomorrow?"
Although Mo Li and Nalong were neither married, they were not incomprehensible people. When they saw Li Zhen saying this, they naturally guessed what Li Zhen was thinking, and they both laughed, but the laughter contained a joking tone.
But it was so strong that Li Zhen immediately
She felt guilty for no reason, but she didn't have the nerve to explain, so she had no choice but to run away. No, just as Li Zhen stepped out of the study door, the two counselors laughed heartily behind her, causing Li Zhen to make a fuss.
My cheeky skin was burning for a while.
"Liu Dequan." After walking around his backyard, he found that Pei Yan hadn't come back yet. Li Zhenke got really anxious and hurried straight to the front yard. When he saw Pei Yan busy giving instructions
Liu Dequan, the servant, immediately raised his voice and roared, which shocked Liu Dequan.
When he saw that his master was here, Liu Dequan hurriedly dropped what he was doing, ran over in three steps and two steps at a time, and asked with a low eyebrow: "I am here, my highness, what are your orders?"
"How come Miss Pei has been gone for so long? Do you have any orders from the palace?" Li Zhen asked with a frown.
"Returning to Your Highness, when Your Highness the King of Wei came to visit, the Empress sent someone to deliver a message, saying that she had sent Miss Pei back to the inn. The old servant saw that Your Highness was busy and did not dare to disturb her. This busy time,
I was delayed again, and I was just about to go and report to His Highness, when His Highness Cocoli came." When Liu Dequan heard Li Zhen asked about Pei Yan, he didn't dare to hide it, so he hurriedly reported it.
What? Sent back to the inn? Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, and immediately figured out what Concubine Yan's intention was - although the Tang Dynasty was an open society and did not prohibit the intercourse between men and women, basic etiquette still had to be taught, Li
Zhen and Pei Yan have not yet officially married. According to etiquette, it is inappropriate to meet in private, let alone letting Pei Yan move into the palace while Li Zhen is away from business.
Sorry, he is not in the palace. Princess Gaoyang is accompanying Pei Yan to stay in the palace. Although some of the girls are overstepping the rules, it is still reasonable. Now that Li Zhen has returned to the palace, it would be very inappropriate to let Pei Yan stay in the palace again. Once something happens
This gossip has a great influence on Li Zhen and Pei Yan's reputation. Concubine Yan's move is just to guard against material criticism.
Etiquette, oh, damn it, damn ethics! Li Zhen naturally understood that Concubine Yan did this out of love, but the problem was that Li Zhen was in a turbulent mood at this time, and she couldn't bear the turmoil at all, and she wanted to fly out of the city immediately.
I went to see Pei Yan, how could I wait any longer, but the city gate was closed now, so if I wanted to get serious
It was impossible to leave the city through the ground. Besides, although Li Zhen was the prince, he had no right to order the closed city gate to be opened at such a time. It would be too trivial to enter the palace to ask for a decree for this purpose.
After working hard for a while, I felt very depressed for a while. I stamped my feet angrily and turned back to my room to rest.
Two flowers bloomed, one on each side. Not to mention Li Zhen's uneasy sleep, Li Tai was like an angry lion at the moment, impulsively pacing back and forth in the secret room of Prince Wei's Mansion, waiting restlessly.
The arrival of Sima Su Xu of the Prince's Office made Li Zhen scolded countless times in his heart for not knowing how to praise him.
Even Concubine Yan was taken away, and she was so angry that she broke a few tea bowls and made a mess all over the secret room. This shocked Su Xu who had just entered the secret room and didn't know where he was.
Su Xu, who was facing a serious matter, hurriedly asked: "Your Highness, what is going on? Could it be that something happened in the palace?"
"Uncle, you came just in time." As soon as Li Tai saw Su Xu, he immediately felt as if he had seen a savior and said hurriedly: "They are all Xiaoba's fellows. I tried to persuade him with good intentions, but he was treated as a donkey liver and lungs. That fellow will live and die."
If you refuse to take action, I am really angry to death!"
"Oh?" When Su Xu heard that there was something wrong in the palace, he immediately calmed down, frowned and looked at the furious Li Tai, and said as if he hated iron and said: "Your Highness, don't forget you.
With my identity, how can such a trivial thing be worth doing?
His Highness Wang is not someone to be trifled with. If he was so easy to take the bait, he would have died countless times long ago. There is still some time before the army can go out, so he can just plan slowly. He is so angry.
The bones of the body are worthless."
Although Li Tai was not a good person, he had always been convinced by Su Xu, his uncle. Seeing that Su Xu was a little unhappy at this time, he hurriedly smiled and said: "I just lost my temper temporarily, haha, it's all Xiaoba's boy."
If you don't follow the path, how can you solve this situation now?"
Naturally, this situation is not easy to solve. If nothing else, it is extremely difficult to deceive Li Zhen. Su Xu knows this well. He has already considered how to deal with it if Li Zhen does not take the bait.
, when he saw Li Taiwen, he didn't panic. He smiled lightly and said: "What's so difficult about this? Nowadays, there is a battle for the leadership position."
The commotion is serious, since His Highness can't get over the East Palace for the moment, why not push His Highness the King of Yue out? As long as the one in the East Palace knows about this, then there will be a fuss. In this way, His Highness the King of Yue even wants to
I'm afraid it's impossible to stay out of the matter, and with His Majesty's urging, won't things become more interesting?"
"Okay! I will go to the palace early tomorrow morning to meet the saint, and I will let Xiaoba and the boss have a good fight. I will not believe that Xiaoba will not take action! Hahaha..." Li Tai laughed and smiled proudly.
