Earth dragons were burning in Li Zheng Hall, and animal charcoal was burning in the four corners of the hall, but Li Chengqian's heart suddenly tightened, and an uncontrollable chill swept through his body, making him shiver!
"Du He, what do you mean by this?"
"Your Highness, you were established as the crown prince in the ninth year of Wude. What did your Majesty and the ministers say at that time? They said that you are intelligent, sensitive, handsome, benevolent, filial, and pure... almost all the praises in the world I will use all my words to flatter you! You are the proud son of heaven, inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people!"
Du He stared into Li Chengqian's eyes, gritted his teeth and whispered: "But since you accidentally broke your leg, everything has changed! His Majesty hates your disability, fearing that it will damage the royal dignity, and the ministers think you have bad conduct. , not the Lord of Wisdom! Damn the royal majesty, damn the Lord of Wisdom! I just broke my leg, could it be that my brain was also broken? Your Highness, it was just an accident, but you I have been criticized and questioned all over the world, including Your Majesty..."
"That's enough!" Li Chengqian suddenly changed his face and shouted: "How dare you criticize His Majesty? Are you tired of living?"
Du He was unmoved and continued to think about himself: "Although His Majesty has not deposed you as the crown prince, you can see for yourself how aggrieved you are by the neglect you receive, and how ostentatiously loved Li Tai is. ! Your Majesty only cares about his preferences, but never considers your feelings. You are the prince of the Tang Dynasty and the future master of the empire! Your Majesty, your Majesty’s selfishness is known to everyone in the world. If you can’t fight for it yourself , he won’t care about your life or death!”
"boom"
Li Chengqian slammed the tea cup to the ground. The delicate white porcelain tea cup broke into pieces and splashed everywhere. He stood up suddenly, glared at Du He, and cursed fiercely: "Du He! It's useless for me to treat you like a brother and sister. You are so tempting me to hate my father. Do you want me to do such a treasonous act and bear the filth of a hundred generations?" Are you satisfied with being infamous?"
Du He was also sweating on his forehead. He naturally knew what he was talking about and what he was doing. However, at this moment, he fired his bow without turning back and could only follow his neck. He looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Your Majesty can do it, why can't His Highness do it?"
"Snapped!"
Li Chengqian was so angry that he waved his hand and slapped him hard. He glared angrily at Du He, pointed at the door of the hall, and said angrily: "Get out! For the sake of our many years of friendship, today's words will be treated as if I have never heard them before. From now on, I will never have any contact with you until life and death!"
Du He was very anxious and said quickly: "Your Highness, I am doing this for your own good! You are so trapped in Chou City, do you expect His Majesty to change his mind in the end? Of course you can let go of the position of Prince, but have you ever thought about it? Once the crown prince is taken away by Li Tai, will he tolerate your existence? Taking a step back, even if you would rather kill yourself with a glass of poisonous wine than disobey His Majesty, what about the Crown Princess, what about His Royal Highness, your children? what to do?"
Every word of heart-wrenching words was like an awl poking into Li Chengqian's heart!
Li Chengqian opened his mouth wide and gasped rapidly.
He was a little panicked and didn't know what to do.
Yes, it would be easy for him to die. What to do with the virtuous and gentle Su family, what to do with the two smart, pure and filial sons...
As an incompetent father, it's enough that he can't hold on to his position as prince. Does he have to drag his wife and children to suffer, or even return to the underworld?
The most important thing is one of Du He's words.
Your Majesty can do it, why can't His Highness do it?
Back then, my father was able to kill his brother and brother from the Xuanwu Sect and step directly into the Taiji Palace, inherit the great treasure and create this prosperous age of Zhenguan. Why can't I, Li Chengqian?
Thousands of years later, history books will only brag about his father's unparalleled achievements. Who will care about how he got the throne and where his brothers are buried?
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian suddenly came back to his senses and suddenly found that his clothes were soaked in cold sweat and clinging to his body wetly, bringing with it a chill...
What's wrong with me? How could I think of going to such a vicious place?
Even though my father has now single-handedly created the prosperous age of Zhenguan, what he did back then will never be able to block the mouths of all the people in the world. Become correct!
He is wrong!
No matter how many achievements my father created, that thing was still wrong!
Could it be that just because his father made a wrong decision and gained the world, he must follow his example?
no!
How can you do it even though you know it is wrong?
Others may not know the regret and self-blame that my father has hidden in his heart over the years, but how could he, Li Chengqian, not know about it?
Taking a deep breath, Li Chengqian calmed down, looked at Du He, and said slowly: "As the eldest son of my father, I should be loyal and filial, and I will never have second thoughts. This country belongs to my father, who is he willing to give it to?" , then leave it to someone! Today’s words, you know, I know, God knows, the earth knows, that’s it!”
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and turned around and entered the back hall.
Du He was left standing there with a look of astonishment...
After a long while, Du He came back to his senses. He looked at the door where Li Chengqian disappeared with great disappointment, and sighed: "Indecisive, how benevolent a woman is! Does your Highness think that you can get His Majesty's love and care without fighting or grabbing?" Forgiveness from the future prince? Your Highness, you are wrong, so wrong! This world is a natural selection of the weak and the strong. If you don’t do some things, you will regret it in the end!"
There was no sound in the empty back hall, and Du He didn't get a reply.
He knew in his heart that Li Chengqian was thinking about the friendship he had had for many years and turned a blind eye to what he said today. Otherwise, if he told His Majesty, although he might not destroy his family, his life would definitely not be saved.
But with this move, Li Chengqian also took a huge risk!
Du He's remarks already constituted treason. As a prince, he ignored and turned a blind eye. This is an even greater crime! In order to preserve the brotherhood, Du He did not hesitate to risk the world's disapproval and suggested that the prince do such treacherous and unethical things; similarly in order to preserve the brotherhood, Li Chengqian would rather take great risks than betray Du He...
Du He's eyes turned red and he gritted his teeth secretly: Since you are so indecisive and so benevolent as a woman, I will make this decision for you! When things come to an end, even if you don’t want to do it, you can’t help it...
*****
The New Year is approaching, and governors from all over the country are returning to Beijing to report on their duties. Merchants from all over the city have gathered in Chang'an City, and rare department stores have gathered. There is a strong New Year flavor everywhere.
Although there was a severe drought in the spring this year, the irrigation tools provided by Deli and the Ministry of Industry and the vigorous renovation of farmland water conservancy did not reduce the income in the autumn. The people have enough to eat and have some spare money in their hands, and the market is becoming more and more lively and prosperous.
His Majesty Li Er flipped through the memorials from various places, stroking his beard and smiling with satisfaction.
Although most of these memorials report good news but not bad news, and the words are inevitably a bit exaggerated, His Majesty Li Er, who has long been experienced in this, is even aware of the moisture content in them. Generally speaking, although this year cannot be called a bumper harvest year, it is not far behind last year. However, you must know that there was no rain for several consecutive months in the spring this year, which scared His Majesty Li Er at that time. Want no harvest!
Fortunately, Fang Jun prayed for the rain in time.
To this day, His Majesty Li Er still doesn't understand how Fang Jun asked for that rain...
Calling for the wind and rain?
His Majesty Li Er scoffed.
Others might really have that magical ability, but if Fang Jun, a reckless and unlearned bastard, could have that kind of ability, His Majesty Li Er would rather believe that pigs can climb trees...
But how did it happen?
I have been thinking about it for a long time but still can't figure it out. This matter has become a demon in His Majesty Li Er's heart. The more I don't understand it, the more I want to find out the truth. Thinking of this matter again today, I felt quite depressed, so I sent someone to find Li Chunfeng.
When they met, His Majesty Li Er was immediately startled.
This "half-immortal" who used to be an immortal and energetic person, now has a sallow complexion and a slovenly Taoist robe. He looks haggard after not sleeping for days and nights...
"Ai Qing is ill?" His Majesty Li Er asked worriedly.
Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang were ranked as the two great masters of the Tang Dynasty, and their ability to fool the boss was naturally unparalleled in the world. This made His Majesty Li Er attach great importance to them, and these two people were indeed very capable.
Li Chunfeng looked haggard, but his spirit was good. Wen Wen said: "Not only is this minister not sick, but he has found a way for your majesty to see the way of heaven!"
His Majesty Li Er was horrified and moved.
