In the summer, the emperor and the empress would either go to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer heat, or go to Yushan to escape the summer heat. In any case, they would leave Chang'an City, but this year the emperor and empress did not move at all, especially the emperor, who rarely left the Wanmin Palace.
Now that the gambling game was suddenly mentioned, Yun Ye felt very strange. He didn't know why they gave the gambling game such a sad name. Yuan Shoucheng, as the fourth person to attend the gambling game, was the one that Yun Ye pushed out at the last moment.
Who knew that the emperor and empress actually agreed to the choice.
Li Zhi's rebellion was like a stone thrown into a big lake. Although it made waves, the lake slowly became calm again as time went by.
The eldest grandson brought a food box, and Yun Ye wanted to come over and carry it. Li Er walked in front with his hands behind his back, and Duan Hong led the way. This was the direction to Taiye Pond. Yun Ye didn't know why the eldest grandson had to carry the food box with his own hands.
, she hesitated for a moment when she was about to come over.
There were many guards along the way. Not even a single concubine was in sight. Li Er and six underage princesses were also nowhere to be seen. Yun Ye walked slowly along a ramp. For the first time, Yun Ye knew that there were still people in the palace.
There is such a huge underground building.
"It existed before the Sui Dynasty. There was already such a tunnel when Yang Jian built Daxing City, but His Majesty later expanded it and it became like this. You are the first foreign minister to come here. Don't
Say it.”
As Yun Ye walked with Changsun, Changsun told him the origin of the tunnel.
There is nothing surprising about this. Even if there is a tunnel leading directly from the palace to the outside, Yun Ye will not be surprised, because the Yun family has such a tunnel. If there is no such standing means in the palace, it will make people feel uncomfortable.
strangeness.
"You don't seem too surprised?"
"There is nothing surprising, Madam. When we excavated the Wude Hall, the construction period took more than a year longer than expected. Weichen knew that there must be a place similar to the Wude Hall in the palace."
Li Er chuckled and said: "You really dare to say anything, but now I can only hear a few truths from your mouth. Do you know why we are here? It's because of the allusion that we can't meet each other until we reach the underworld.
."
Yun Ye was shocked and said: "Is the pheasant slave being imprisoned here?"
"Can't you think of it? I will take a look at this traitor every day!"
After hearing what Li Er said, Yun Ye wanted to run away. Just when he was about to withdraw from this terrifying prison visiting team, he heard Li Er say again: "It's too late. If you have this cleverness in Wanmin Palace, you might be able to escape. Since you have already
When you get here, go and see your brother, this brother-in-law who wants to kill all the royal family. If you want to be sad, everyone will be sad together. It is always the queen and I who suffer the most."
Yun Ye's face is about to turn into purple with suffocation. It should be Li Chengqian who comes here at this time, and last time it should be Li Tai. Why is it me?"
"Chengqian will kill the pheasant slave immediately if he sees him. Qingque might beat him to death if he sees the pheasant slave. You are his brother-in-law, so maybe you can be more patient with him." Changsun wiped his tears and said, this is the first time.
Once I saw my eldest grandson at his weakest.
"Mother, I also want to kill him. He has ruined all my good expectations for Datang."
"I knew it was like this. You all want to kill my pheasant slave. How dare you lay a finger on him!" Changsun's shrill voice echoed loudly underground.
Now the eldest grandson is simply a mother who only knows how to protect her children, not the wise and wise queen who snatched the food box from Yun Ye for fear that Yun Ye would poison the food.
Li Er looked at Yun Ye and Changsun, sighed, and moved forward. Yun Ye had no choice but to continue to follow.
"Mother, you are here. What delicious food did you bring today? Tell your father that the child has written six big words. Please ask him to let the child go out. The pheasant slave will never be naughty again."
Li Zhi, who had a sunny face, walked out of a very bright room, happily took the food box from his eldest grandson, opened it eagerly, took out a fat yellow chicken from it and started to gnaw it.
The emperor and Yun Ye turned a blind eye.
The eldest grandson held Li Zhi's shoulders affectionately, watched him eat the roast chicken, and wiped his mouth for him. After a few bites, Li Zhi raised his head in embarrassment, tore off a small piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
He opened his mouth and bit the muscle, and coaxed Li Zhi like a child: "Pheasant slave, be good, the queen mother doesn't like to eat chicken, pheasant slave, eat more."
Li Er sat on the chair opposite and watched them eating with loving motherhood and filial piety. Yun Ye found that his legs were a little weak, and he slowly slid down against the wall and sat on the ground. This scene was so weird.
The house is very bright, like daytime. That's because there is a jade plaque hanging on the roof. No wonder Wanmin Palace has been dark at night recently. It turns out that this thing was sent here.
"Everything in the room was moved from the pheasant slave's palace. It is exactly the same as when he was a child. The people who serve him also look exactly the same as those who served him back then, and their names have not changed. I am the emperor and can only do
At this point, the pheasant slave will still suddenly go crazy and no one can control him..."
Li Zhi, who was having a sweet meal, suddenly threw away the chicken in his hand and screamed, "Don't kill me, don't kill me." Then he rolled under the bed, folded his arms and trembled, and shouted in a low voice: "Mother Queen
Save me! Queen mother, save me!"
The eldest grandson also got under the bed, hugged Li Zhi tightly, patted his back and persuaded him with tears in his eyes: "Pheasant slave is not afraid, pheasant slave is not afraid, the queen mother is here, the queen mother is here." As he spoke,
He also slapped the bed boards loudly, as if he was fighting a monster that frightened Li Zhi."
The stubborn and arrogant emperor burst into tears unknowingly. Yun Ye looked at the eldest grandson with his hairpin rings scattered and closed his eyes tightly. He couldn't bear to look at it anymore. This is what the two most noble people in the empire have to go through every day.
No wonder Li Er is sad, no wonder he is violent, and no wonder the eldest grandson has gray hairs. At this stage of parenthood, there is no difference between the noble and the humble.
"The vines are growing under the yellow platform, and the melons are ripe and separated. One pick will make the melon good, two picks will make the melon thin, three picks will make it even better, and four picks will bring back the vines." I heard the sound of Li Zhi's upper teeth touching the lower ones.
There was a clicking sound, the eldest grandson slapped the bed board and the comforting murmur of Li Zhi, but he couldn't help but think of the "Huangtai Poetry" in his mind.
Perhaps he recited it unknowingly, Li Er said with a sad smile: "I won't pick it off, I won't pick it off at all..."
The eldest grandson finally coaxed Li Zhi to sleep. Immediately, a servant came over to take Li Zhi out from under the bed, put him on the bed, and covered him with a quilt. After the eldest grandson checked him carefully, he followed Li Er out of the room.
come out.
"Yun Ye, is there any way? His symptoms will attack at noon every day. He will only be peaceful when I feed him food. The rest of the time, he is like a six-year-old child. Is there any way you can cure him?"
"Basically no, he became like this because he received extremely strong stimulation. He hypnotized himself into a juvenile state because he believed that he would be safe only if he returned to his juvenile state, so he did not want to wake up.
, and will not wake up.
Wei Chen suggested that this be it, as long as he slowly no longer feels fear, he can stay in this state and live well. Even if Wei Chen cures him, it may be more uncomfortable for him, and
How will your majesty and your empress deal with themselves? What about those who died innocently and unjustly? Your majesty always has to give them an explanation. Why not just let Cheng Qian and Qing Que come over and see why there are only three of us?
Need to suffer like this?
As long as we don't say anything, I want to see who dares to say what to do with the pheasant slaves."
The eldest grandson nodded in approval, and said happily: "You finally have the domineering attitude of an important minister. I thought you were going to live like this for the rest of your life.
There are many things that it is difficult for Your Majesty and I to come forward, so it would be best for the three of you to come forward."
After listening to Changsun's words, Yun Ye really didn't know what to say. When he thought of Lao Jiang and Lao Xia's death, Yun Ye's heart felt like it was blocked by a huge boulder. Li Zhi deserved it, and he was like this.
It’s not like ghosts or ghosts, but those innocent lives will never come back.
"What have you done?" Yun Ye howled irritably in the underground palace.
"Irritated? I'm irritable too. Boy, just bear with it. My son wanted to kill me and I didn't even yell like you. Your irritability doesn't matter!" Li Er looked at Yun Ye in vain for the first time.
The title "I" expresses my inner depression.
He should indeed feel depressed. He killed his brother, his younger brother, imprisoned his father, and now his son is rebelling. Most of his sadness comes from the fear of retribution.
If there were no Yun Ye in this world, Changsun would have died long ago. Li Er, who had truly become a loner, had not gone crazy even after encountering so many bad things in history. His heart was so powerful that it was suffocating.
Now at least Li Chengqian is obedient, Li Tai is very upbeat, his daughter's life is prosperous, and it is a great blessing that Wei Zheng has not been pulled out of the grave.
The emperor and his wife dragged him to see how miserable they were, just to win sympathy. The couple never did anything without purpose, and wanted to tell the ministers through their own words not to urge the emperor to kill Li Zhi anymore.
The child is hopeless, so it just depends on whether he should be killed or not.
Yun Ye visited the East Palace for the first time in a year. He asked for wine as soon as he walked in, among other things. Li Chengqian got a lot of wine, put it on the table and watched Yun Ye drink without saying a word.
"Since you want to drink, why don't you choose those strong drinks? You will get drunk faster this way, and you will forget your troubles faster."
Yun Ye glanced at Li Chengqian and smiled ferociously: "How can I let you and Qingque go if I'm not in a good mood? It's your family's fault. I'll tell you when Qingque comes over, and then I'll get drunk immediately and won't slack off for a moment.
