His cloudy eyes burst out with rare energy, overflowing and spreading.
I watched it for a long time.
Li Yuan knelt there for a full three sticks of incense before slowly standing up from the ground.
Jin Wuwei had quick eyes and quick hands and quickly helped Li Yuan.
Li Yuan looked calm, swept his knees with his sleeves, and left with a smile.
Looking at Li Yuan's back, everyone in Jinwu Guard felt shocked and horrified.
The Supreme Emperor...
He has not left the imperial city for three years.
No!
They have never stepped out of the palace.
but now……
Not only did he leave the palace, he also left the Suzaku Gate, just to get a good look at the sweet potato.
Oh My God!
did not expect!
He never expected that the charm of sweet potatoes would be so great that it would allow the Supreme Emperor to break through the cage in his heart and get out of the place where he was imprisoned.
Li Yuan walked out of the Zhuque Gate.
He turned his head and looked at the sweet potatoes under the moonlight from a distance.
"Kuan'er, Kuan'er, grandpa, I'm really convinced now."
"When we were chatting before, we talked about the magic product that can produce a thousand kilograms per acre, and also talked about the mass production of ice cubes. Grandpa thought you were talking about mountains, but I didn't expect..."
Li Yuan paused.
Looking back at the sweet potato, his face was complicated and filled with emotion.
"I didn't expect that these are all true. They really happened... in the lives of grandpa, your father, the five surnames and Qi Wang, and even the people of Chang'an City as a whole."
"How on earth did you do all this...?"
"However, no matter how you do it, I...Li Yuan...the former head of the Li family, on behalf of all the ancestors, thank you!!"
"As long as the sweet potatoes mature, our Tang Dynasty will be the greatest dynasty in the world! No other dynasty can match it! Even the Great Qin of the First Emperor will be inferior to the Tang Dynasty!!"
"Hahahaha! Kuan'er, if you don't become emperor from now on, the people won't be able to accept it, and you... won't be able to accept it either."
"With such great achievements, except for your father, no matter who the next emperor of the Tang Dynasty is, it is impossible for you to exist."
"You, you, no matter what you think in your heart, this diwei must be fought for."
"Grandpa, I should also think about how I can help my great grandson, hahaha!!"
Li Yuan laughed heartily.
His footsteps were slowly walking towards his residence.
…….…….….…
The news that Li Yuan came specially to watch the sweet potatoes disappeared.
East Palace.
When Li Chengqian got the news, he was stunned.
Li Yuan.
My own grandfather has not left the palace for several years! !
This time leave the palace.
Li Yuan must have been the first Ming Dynasty leader of the Tang Dynasty, and he also knew that he would attract much attention and be remembered by many people, but he still came out, so arrogantly.
Yes.
Swagger.
Although it was dark night, there were only a few Jinwu guards, which looked hidden enough.
But that's for ordinary people. For those forces with intelligence agencies, Li Yuan's coming out is too arrogant.
If he wanted to travel in secret, he should have covered his face, but he didn't do anything to hide it, and he was still wearing the yellow robe, which was the ultimate level of publicity! !
"Grandpa, is this... sending some kind of signal?!"
Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes slightly and continued: "Is he publicly expressing support for King Chu!?"
Li Chengqian was not sure.
But I think it's very possible.
Think of the worst in everything, so that if things really turn out to be the worst, you won't feel disappointed.
This is what Li Chengqian had in mind.
If Li Yuan really supports King Chu, then his throne will be in danger! ! !
Even the prince is in danger! !
After all, Li Yuan was the one who founded the Tang Dynasty, and the current second-generation emperor, his father Li Shimin, also respected Li Yuan very well.
If Li Yuan supports King Chu...
When he thought of this, Li Chengqian rubbed his forehead in frustration, feeling that this matter was too much of a headache.
"Also, Your Highness, there is one more thing."
At this time,
The spy next to him who came to inform him spoke again.
Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes and asked deeply: "What else?"
The spy thought for a while and replied: "That's right. On the way out, the Supreme Emperor suddenly laughed, and... he also said something incredible."
"He thanked the King of Chu and said that if the King of Chu ceased to be emperor, the people would not be able to accept it, and neither would the King of Chu. He also asked how he could help the King of Chu."
"That's about it. These words were spoken by the Emperor without hesitation, so we can hear them clearly."
The words fell.
Li Chengqian's heart dropped.
Things really took a turn for the worst.
Grandpa, he has already openly supported the King of Chu! !
Li Chengqian frowned and smiled bitterly for a while: "Grandpa, hehe, you are old and unwilling to be lonely."
"Give me a big problem."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." The spy came over. He seemed to be very familiar with Li Chengqian. Even if he came close to Li Chengqian's ear, Li Chengqian was completely unfazed.
The spy looked left and right, and when he found no one there, he whispered softly: "What should we do? After all... the King of Chu owns the legendary thing, the Jade Seal of the Kingdom."
"The King of Chu is hiding the jade seal to pass down the country. Maybe we can make a fuss about it."
Li Chengqian's eyes widened slightly. Although he learned the news a few days ago, he still couldn't stop trembling when he heard the four characters "Jade Seal of the Nation".
His whole life, wasn't it for the eight characters on the jade seal that passed down the country? He was ordered by God to live long and prosperous! !
"this matter……."
Li Chengqian knocked on the table and immediately said, "Don't worry about it for now."
"This..." The spy was stunned for a moment and said with some surprise: "Your Highness, this is our opportunity! The King of Chu holds the jade seal passed down to the country and does not turn it over. If His Majesty knows about it, Your Majesty may think that the King of Chu has The rebellious spirit began to destroy the King of Chu."
The spies didn't understand, really didn't understand.
A few days ago, I learned that the King of Chu owned the Jade Seal of the Kingdom. At that time, the Chu King's palace was empty of defenses. It was a good opportunity to steal the Jade Seal of the Kingdom of Chu. However, His Highness the Crown Prince showed no sign, as calm as if he did not know about this matter.
At that time, no one dared to say it, but now that the Supreme Emperor came out and the sense of crisis had come, he dared to mention it. He thought it was a sure thing, but he didn't expect that Li Chengqian still didn't care.
"I have my own plans for this matter."
Li Chengqian snorted and didn't want to mention it further.
But after thinking about it for a moment, he continued to speak, his voice full of majesty.
"The Li family has experienced internal fighting and fighting for a generation. Although this has spread to Gu's generation, Gu has always insisted on winning the throne in an honest and fair manner!"
"These sneaky things are against the emperor's rules. I must rely on my own strength to defeat my second brother!"
When the spy heard this, his eyes widened instantly.
When Li Chengqian said this, he was full of momentum, which once made him feel oppressed by facing Li Shimin directly.
Upright...
If he is defeated openly, following such a master and accompanying him to death seems to be an extremely honorable thing.
The spy laughed.
After learning about Li Chengqian's inner thoughts, he completely understood his determination.
That is.
Follow Li Chengqian and accompany him to experience success or...failure.
…….…….……
Return to the palace.
Li Yuan was not in a hurry to go to bed, but sat in front of the table quietly, closing his eyes and concentrating, as if waiting for something.
A long while.
A dark shadow appeared outside the door.
Then came the hoarse voice of the black shadow.
"The Emperor, I can confirm that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and the other princes all know that you went out to the palace to see the sweet potatoes."
Hearing this, Li Yuan opened his eyes instantly.
At this time, the eyes are no longer cloudy, but extremely clear.
When he opened his eyes, the man in black who was responsible for reporting had already left.
This man in black was Li Yuan's former confidant.
Since the Xuanwumen Incident, we haven’t had much contact.
Li Shimin came to power and purged the forces of many brothers and sisters, but he spared Li Yuan's forces and made appropriate arrangements for them.
Over the years, Li Yuan has never contacted his cronies. Many of his sons have died, and he only thinks about living in a drunken dream.
But since the last time Li Shimin came over, he had changed his mind and started asking people to contact his former cronies. Li Shimin saw all these things and did not stop him. Instead, he sent Jin Wuwei to help.
"Yes, we all know."
Li Yuan held his chin silently and murmured to himself: "It's good to know. I hope Chengqian, Qingque, and other children and grandchildren can retreat despite the difficulties."
Li Yuan has his own ideas for tonight's trip.
After learning about the terrifying ability of King Chu, coupled with the changes in the Xuanwu Sect, he knew that people like King Chu and Li Shimin could not be satisfied by the way of balance.
He gives you all kinds of troubles, and you have to give him enough in return so that he doesn't have second thoughts.
And that year.
Li Yuan made a mistake.
He adopted a balanced approach and paid less attention to some of the achievements that originally belonged to Li Shimin, and even transferred the credit to Li Jiancheng. This made Li Shimin dissatisfied and gave rise to the Xuanwumen incident.
Wrong decision-making led to the death of many people in the Li family.
And now.
Someone similar to Li Shimin appears, that is King Chu! !
Having the experience of failure, Li Yuan quickly figured out that he must make King Chu the emperor, so that the Li family of his generation would not experience bloodshed.
And now,
Li Yuan has no extra strength. What should he do to make the King of Chu's path to becoming emperor smoother? !
After thinking for a long time, he came up with a way.
Let others know that he supports the King of Chu's ascension and express his attitude, thereby making other competitors retreat despite the difficulties.
When he thought of this, Li Yuan felt helpless.
It was clear that the crown prince's position was confirmed to be the eldest grandson Li Chengqian, but secretly, many people still peeked at the throne. This was mainly... because of Li Shimin's good start! !
There are examples of how to get the throne by capturing thieves first, so many people in the Li family of this generation also want to rely on getting to the throne.
"I've done everything I need to do."
Li Yuan looked at the night sky in the distance. The night sky was very beautiful today, and it reflected Li Yuan's gentle face.
"Next, I hope you won't continue to anger a sleeping lion."
"Kuan'er once chatted while fishing, and the sweet potatoes, ice cubes, colored glaze, etc. he mentioned came true one by one, but there are still many things that have not yet been presented."
"If...the things that we once chatted about continue to come true one by one, then the Tang Dynasty will be able to annex the entire world."
"Tujue? Tuyuhun? Haha, it's just a roadblock in Kuan'er's journey."
"Stop touching the lion's beard, really... don't challenge the lion's bottom line anymore."
"Once the lion gets angry, it will be a huge disaster."
"Not only for the Li family, but also for the entire Tang Dynasty."
"This era is destined to belong to the King of Chu."
….…….….……
The Cui family of Qinghe is in charge of the mansion.
The head of the Cui family in Qinghe also learned about the sprouting of sweet potatoes, and even the news about Li Yuan's departure from the palace.
Compared with the news about Li Yuan's escape from the palace, he was more concerned about the news about the sprouting of sweet potatoes.
because,
This is something that can really affect their Qinghe Cui family.
As for what Li Yuan meant when he came out, he really didn't care.
The throne of the Li family belongs to the Li family no matter how they fight. It doesn't matter who ascends the throne to their five surnames and Qi Wang, they are all enemies.
Even the harder the Li family fights, the more benefits they will get.
"It's sprouted, it's really sprouted."
"Not long ago, our Cui family master told me that these sweet potatoes have a tendency to sprout. I still don't believe it."
"After all, the time is too short, and the most harvestable grains in the past do not germinate so quickly."
"As a result...it really sprouted, these sweet potato seeds..."
The head of the Cui family in Qinghe looked complicated and didn't know what to say.
In his heart, he already regards sweet potatoes as a sacred thing.
But I can’t say it! !
"Master, should we send someone to destroy the sweet potatoes?"
Cui Jiawei couldn't help but said.
The head of the Cui family in Qinghe shook his head and said: "No, it is outside the imperial city after all. There were originally many Jinwu guards guarding the sweet potato seeds. Now that the sweet potatoes have sprouted, there are more guards."
"Moreover, there are victims of the disaster in the north. Sweet potatoes are planted everywhere. Even the sweet potato seeds that destroyed the Suzaku Gate. How much power do we have to continue to destroy the sweet potato seeds in the entire world?!"
After being analyzed by the head of the Cui family in Qinghe, the Cui family's Wei also realized that this was a general trend and it was impossible to stop it.
"Master, what should we do?"
He was a little confused.
"what to do……."
The head of the Cui family in Qinghe sighed, he didn't know it himself.
Now that the sweet potato incident has become a big deal, there is nothing that can be done to stop it. It seems that... we can only wait to die.
When the sweet potatoes come out, they will rob the food market of his Cui family.
"Master!!"
At this time, a Cui family guard ran in and said, "Master, Cui He is here!!"
Cui He was the food expert who originally told the head of the Cui family in Qinghe that it was impossible for sweet potatoes to grow.
"He's here, good! Good time he's here!!"
The eyes of the head of the Cui family in Qinghe were filled with anger.
The sweet potatoes sprouted, and the Cui family was about to be hit. He was very angry.
The two Cui family guards realized the anger of their master and found reasons to leave in a hurry.
When Cui He came in, the head of the Cui family in Qinghe found that this guy was very scared.
"Cui He, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
The head of the Cui family in Qinghe suppressed his anger and kept his voice calm.
