Chapter 499 The storm is rising
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 pride of heaven, one person is inferior 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 wise Lord! You just broke your leg, could it be that your brain was also broken? Your Highness, it was just an accident, but you have been criticized and questioned all over the world. , including His Majesty..."
"That's enough!" Li Chengqian suddenly changed his color 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 I never consider your feelings. You are the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty and the future master of the empire! Your Majesty, everyone in the world knows your selfishness. If you cannot fight for it yourself, he will not care about your life or death! ”
"Bang"
Li Chengqian slammed the tea cup to the ground, and 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?"< br>
"Crack!"
Li Chengqian was so angry that he threw away 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 long 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's position is taken If Li Tai is taken away, will he tolerate your existence? If you take a step back, even if you would rather die with a glass of poisonous wine than disobey His Majesty, what will happen to the Crown Princess, what will happen to His Highness, and what will happen to your children? "< br>
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. Do he have to drag his wife and children to suffer, and 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 boast of 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 with cold sweat and clung to his body wetly, bringing 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 definitely not be able to block the opinions of all the people in the world, or the stylus under the hand of the historian to judge the Spring and Autumn Period, or the mistakes of others. 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 whom! 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?" To be forgiven by the future prince? Your Highness, you are wrong, how wrong you are! In this world, there is a competition between the weak and the strong. If you don’t do something, 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 would not hesitate to risk the world's disapproval to suggest 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 womanly, 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 treasured 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, even knows the moisture content in them. Generally speaking, although this year cannot be called a bumper harvest year, it is no less than last year. However, you must know that there was no rain for several consecutive months in the spring this year. His Majesty Li Er was frightened that the food supply in the Guanzhong area this year was Want no harvest!
Fortunately, Fang Jun prayed for the rain in time.
So far, 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 full of energy, now has a sallow complexion and a slovenly Taoist robe, as if he had been awake for days and nights and looked haggard...
"Ai Qing is sick?" His Majesty Li Er asked worriedly.
Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang were ranked as the two great masters of the Tang Dynasty. Their ability to deceive the boss was naturally unparalleled in the world, which 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 heard the words and said: "Not only is the minister not sick, but he has found a way for your majesty to get a glimpse of the way of heaven!"
His Majesty Li Er was horrified and moved. (End of chapter)
