"Now you know the danger in Shengjing, right?" The seventh prince said when he saw that he was silent.
Li Qiao nodded heavily: "Extremely dangerous!"
"Actually, you are also in danger."
"Me?" Li Qiao tilted his head. The third prince showed murderous intent towards him last night, but the third prince was finished, so...
"When Fifth Brother rebelled, you, a weak scholar, turned the situation around. Although Zhou Zhao and others were present this time, it was your sharp eyes that spotted the ridiculous similarity. Therefore, the demise of Third Brother and Fifth Brother was different from You can’t get away from it.”
"?"
Li Qiao opened his eyes wide and said, "Who cares?"
The fifth prince conspired against himself and sought his own death.
The third prince even harmed the eldest prince early and violated the imperial authority, and now he deserves what he deserves.
"In addition, you are so close to me that you can't seem to be won over, so I'm worried that people in the dark will attack you. You have been more cautious recently."
"However, it is more likely that the other party is reluctant to attack you because you are too good."
"So, you should pay more attention next time to see who is wooing you. Now that the third brother and the fifth brother are finished, the person who intends to compete for the throne will naturally come forward."
The seventh prince said seriously.
This was the main purpose of calling Li Qiao here today.
On the one hand, Li Qiao has been more cautious recently.
On the other hand, he wanted to use Li Qiao to find the person who attacked him.
"...I understand."
Li Qiao also became serious.
"Of course, it's also possible that I'm worrying too much. The other party doesn't like you and doesn't bother to take action against you. In short, you should be more careful lately."
The seventh prince said again.
"Okay, I will bring my full range of tricks with me wherever I go, and I won't let Brother Zhu go out."
Li Qiao said seriously.
"Well, be careful first and wait for the other party to make a move. The prince will definitely show up."
The seventh prince sighed softly as he spoke.
Although the Peng family was finished and the third prince received the punishment he deserved, his eldest brother's body and the death of Queen Zhou made him feel troubled.
Li Qiao looked at his sad face and couldn't help but feel worried.
It turns out that the Seventh Prince, who has always been reliable in doing things, was so passive...
*
The author has something to say:
Chapter 174 The arrangement between the seventh prince and the eldest prince. The two boys are very strong.
"I have something to say, I don't know whether to ask it or not."
Li Qiao endured it again and again, but still couldn't hold it back and spoke.
The seventh prince looked at him: "You ask."
"Well...it's you, do you want to be the prince?"
Li Qiao blinked his eyes and held his breath slightly.
Don't you really want to help the eldest prince ascend to the throne?
How can the eldest prince with his body handle the heavy government affairs?
Now Sheng Hong can't even handle it. He is being treated as a strong man every day, and he is involved in every job.
"I knew this was the question. When Meng Yue asked me before, I had already answered it. I am not interested in that position."
The seventh prince shook his head.
He is a little brother, what kind of emperor does he want to be?
Moreover, even if he is really a man, he will definitely support his eldest brother to rise to power.
"...The body of the eldest prince?" Li Qiao asked immediately.
"Take care of it slowly for now. I can't say what will happen in the future. But the eldest brother is the legitimate son of Empress Yuan. The throne belongs to the eldest brother and should belong to him."
The seventh prince's look and tone were firm.
"I understand."
Okay, since the seventh prince has no intention of taking the throne, then the eldest prince can do it too.
The eldest prince has a close relationship with the seventh prince. If he serves as an official under the eldest prince, his status will not be much worse than it is now.
He is so outstanding, who would be willing to neglect him?
Besides, he has been helping the seventh prince.
Previously, the seventh prince asked him to withstand the frame-up of the third and fifth princes, but he withstood it.
Just now, the Seventh Prince said that he played a certain role in the demise of the Third and Fifth Princes, which shows that the Seventh Prince recognized his work.
Now, while strengthening security, he was watching to see who would win over him so that he could find out the person who seriously injured the Seventh Prince.
As long as he makes a small contribution again, it will be a great help to the Seventh Prince.
After figuring out what to do next, Li Qiao's sadness faded a lot. He picked up the chopsticks again and came to fill his stomach before leaving.
The seventh prince also had the same attitude. He asked him to go back after he was full, and by the way, he told him some things about the second prince, fourth prince, and sixth prince, so that he could have some confidence in his mind.
Shengjing was very lively today. When Li Qiao took the carriage from the Seventh Prince's Mansion home, he heard countless conversations along the way.
The Peng family was confiscated, Empress Peng was deposed, the third prince was imprisoned, and the homes of several officials involved in the civil affairs department were confiscated. Taking each of these events individually is a big deal, let alone all of them together.
When Li Qiao arrived home, Tao Zhu and Zheng Qianqian were also discussing the matter.
The seventh prince had already sent someone to report the letter. Tao Zhu knew where Li Qiao was, but there was a difference between knowing and seeing it with his own eyes. Now that Li Qiao was back, he immediately got up from the rocking chair and walked towards Li Qiao with a smile. .
Things in the outside world are nothing compared to Li Qiao.
"Have you eaten? Are you tired? Do you want to take a rest first?"
The repeated words and the gaze with shining eyes made Li Qiao couldn't help but laugh. He answered one by one, and then joined Tao Zhu and others in their chat.
People outside only know the imperial edict and don't know the specific inside story, let alone the grudge between the third prince and the eldest prince, because the imperial edict does not mention a word about it and only emphasizes the third prince's cheating in the scientific examination and what can be called selling out his official position. .
But Li Qiao knew the inside story, so he briefly told what he could. Tao Zhu, Zheng Qianqian, and Li Xia couldn't help but marvel.
In this examination, the Third Prince only arranged for Huang, Bao, and Li to test the water. He kicked these three people out, and then selected the three most outstanding ones from the failed moves to make up for it. So this time the examination Even if it's over.
The third prince, the Peng family, and Queen Peng were all destroyed, and several officials were implicated. This freed up a lot of power. It all depends on who Sheng Hong is willing to let take his place after he has rested.
Sheng Hong was angry last night. With Sheng Hong's current level of concern for his life, he would never go to court if he didn't rest for five days.
However, he could share with Tao Zhu the royal secrets that Zheng Qianqian and Li Xia could not tell.
After dinner, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu took the two cubs directly back to the greenhouse.
Zheng Qianqian knew that they had not been tired of being married for half a month, so they must have been thinking hard at this moment, so she kept Li Xiaorui in the main courtyard and prevented Li Xiaorui from running over and affecting their relationship.
It was a March day and the night was a bit cold, but the hot pot was still burning in the greenhouse. As soon as the two little boys entered the room, they shouted "It's hot" and stretched out their fleshy little hands to unbutton their clothes.
Li Qiao and Tao Zhu took off their heavy cotton clothes respectively, and then put them on the kang.
As soon as the two of them got on the kang, they immediately walked towards the wooden box at the end of the kang with their short legs. The wooden box contained the puzzle.
This puzzle was customized for them by Li Qiao's work department. It was painted with small animals and plants painted on it. The bright colors made them both like it very much.
"Daddy, puzzle, play puzzle."
Little fat friend Li Yunfan stood in front of several wooden boxes. He stretched out his little paws, grabbed the copper lock on one of the wooden boxes, and dragged the wooden box towards Li Qiao Taozhu.
The same goes for the fat little friend Li Changfeng next to him, dragging a wooden box towards his father and father.
The wooden box is not big, but it is definitely not light for a two-year-old child, but the two of them can drag it easily.
Li Yunfan, the fat little friend, was more cautious. After taking two steps, he stopped and turned his little head to look at the kang behind him to avoid falling.
But Li Changfeng's little chubby friend stuck out his butt slightly and stepped back quickly with his short legs, without even looking behind him.
"Amazing!"
Li Qiao immediately raised his hand to applaud them both. He has such strength at such a young age, he deserves to be his baby!
Tao Zhu, who was next to him, saw this and pointed at Li Yunfan's little fat friend: "Yunfan is my little brother."
"Little brothers can also be strong, just like you, and I like them very much."
Li Qiao said, clapped his hands twice more, and praised: "Changfeng and Yunfan are awesome, so strong!"
Tao Zhu: "..."
His status is different now. Now his family can be called a wealthy family.
From now on, when Xiao Yunfan gets married, he must be a good match.
Among the young men and young masters from a wealthy family, who would like a strong young man?
Like him and the seventh prince, although they did meet their sweethearts, Li Qiao and Meng Yue were both farmers' sons, not pampered young masters.
Ever since he discovered that the two little guys were stronger than Li Xiaorui, he had been troubled by this matter. Fortunately, Li Qiao was still applauding.
"Xiao Changfeng is so powerful, he can actually drag such a big box."
Just when Tao Zhu was speechless, Li Changfeng's little chubby friend had already dragged the wooden box to the kang. Li Qiao smiled and lifted him up and threw him high, and couldn't help but kiss his little face.
Little fat friend Li Changfeng was very happy, shouting Feifei, and laughing loudly. However, when Li Qiao put him on the kang, his little head immediately looked at his younger brother, little fat friend Li Yunfan.
At this time, Li Yunfan's little fat friend was still about one meter away from him. He immediately broke out of Li Qiao's arms and ran towards his younger brother.
Li Qiao became curious. There was only a copper lock on the wooden box. As his brother, what would Li Changfeng's little fat friend do?
