Upon hearing this, Emperor Gan Wu's face suddenly became gloomy again, and he said coldly in disappointment: "There is no evidence yet, are you just so anxious to convict your royal brother?"
Since ancient times, emperors have been suspicious.
After hearing Li Jianye's words, Emperor Gan Wu subconsciously thought that Li Jianye was taking advantage of the situation, which disappointed him somewhat.
Is even the child Jianye started to become like this?
However, Li Jianye did not understand Emperor Gan Wu's expression. He raised his head, but instead asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Father, who else did the Ninth Emperor's brother offend besides offending the Sixth Emperor's brother? Besides him Who else can there be?"
Hearing these words, Emperor Gan Wu couldn't help but observe Li Jianye's expression carefully, and he felt a little confused.
Could it be that this kid is simply resentful for Jiuzi and wants to seek justice for Jiuzi?
Did I blame him wrongly?
Thinking of this, Emperor Gan Wu asked again: "Since you think so, why don't you say it in the court?"
Li Jianye sneered and said, "This is the family business of our Li family. Do you show the scene of brothers killing each other in the court? Is it a joke for the ministers?"
Emperor Gan Wu was speechless.
He had already confirmed that Li Jianye had no intention of putting in trouble, and simply stood up for Jiuzi.
This made him happy and a little disappointed.
Since ancient times, the affairs of the Tian family have been involved in national affairs. How can a single family matter be easily exposed?
Also, Li Jianye is too simple to draw such a conclusion based on these well-known things?
Haven’t you ever considered that it was Fengtianhui, or that someone who was interested in plagiarizing the Sixth Prince and taking the opportunity to disturb the court?
Subconsciously, Emperor Gan Wu reached out to touch the belt of the Seven Wolves, trying to beat Li Jianye hard and teach him a lesson.
Li Jianye didn't know how many times he was beaten by Emperor Gan Wu, and he had been very familiar with his actions. He was shocked and couldn't help but take a few steps back, exclaiming: "Father, why are you doing this? What are you doing? You didn't make any mistakes, why did you beat Erchen?"
Emperor Gan Wu twitched his face, and was too lazy to explain, and angrily scolded: "The mind is simple, the courage of every man, get out!"
Then he walked away with his sleeves.
Li Jianye looked resentful: "My father is becoming more and more unreasonable now, and he always uses a gold belt to draw people!"
Suddenly, Emperor Gan Wu stopped and gave a reminder without looking back: "Do you know if you learn more from Brother Jijiu in the future?"
Li Jianye was overjoyed: "I understand!"
After so many years, Li Jianye feels that the only time he has spent with Li Changfeng is the most interesting and happiest.
Emperor Gan Wu asked him to learn from Li Changfeng, but he couldn't ask for it.
"Brother Nine Emperor, Brother Nine Emperor, come back soon!"
On the other side.
Li Changfeng's carriage was still walking slowly on the official road, without any intention of speeding back to Beijing.
Since the last killer who came was torn in half by Wang Tiezhu, he has never encountered any danger along the way.
Just as Li Changfeng was thinking about how to convince Emperor Gan Wu to let him live a small life in Baishi City after returning to Beijing, the voice of Zhang Haihui coming from outside was heard.
"Watch! Watch!"
"Come around Your Highness's carriage and ensure your highness's safety!"
Li Changfeng's thoughts were interrupted, and he lifted the curtain and looked out.
Zhang Haihui, Wang Tiezhu and many Lei Ji had already surrounded the carriages, staring at the distance with a serious expression.
Li Changfeng looked in their direction and saw smoke and dust spreading in the distance, and there were even more horse hooves. It was obvious that there were many people coming.
This surprised Li Changfeng a little.
Could it be that he was here to assassinate him?
It makes no sense!
It seems that there are quite a few people, and this place is not far from the capital. Who dares to assassinate a prince with such a big fanfare?
The second prince can't be so crazy, right?
Just as Li Changfeng was guessing, the sound of horse hooves and shouts were getting closer and closer, and flags appeared within sight.
"Dagan Dragon Flag?" Li Changfeng said in surprise.
As soon as he finished speaking, a team of cavalry wearing golden armor appeared within sight.
The leading general was a middle-aged man with a burly figure and a tough face, wearing a scarlet cloak, majestic and fierce aura.
After seeing Li Changfeng's motorcade, the general was overjoyed and shouted loudly: "But His Highness the Ninth Prince drives?"
The only one who was qualified to carry the dragon flag and wear the golden armor was Emperor Gan Wu's Imperial Guard, Zhang Haihui and others immediately recognized it.
"It's Your Highness's car!" Zhang Haihui responded loudly.
"Very good!"
The general was overjoyed, and whipped the horse under his crotch hard, and quickly rushed towards the car.
When he was three meters away from the car, he quickly stopped the horse, jumped down, bowed his hands and walked towards the carriage quickly.
"My husband, Zheng Yuande, commander of the Imperial Guard, pay homage to His Highness the Ninth Prince!"
As he spoke, he had already knelt on one knee, his eyes full of respect and no pretentiousness.
Zheng Yuande was considered the confidant of Emperor Gan Wu's confidant to be promoted to the commander of the Imperial Guard.
When he was young, he also followed Emperor Gan Wu to fight south and north. He was very strong in terms of his personal strength or ability to lead the war.
He was proud and loyal to Emperor Gan Wu. Even when he was extremely cold to the princes with amazing power such as the eldest prince, the second prince and the sixth prince.
But he was rarely respectful to Li Changfeng.
The reason is that he knew that Li Changfeng had managed the floods in Shangzhou and saved millions of people. He was a truly practical prince, much better than those who only knew how to show off their verbal benefits.
Moreover, Shangzhou is his hometown.
Although most of his family moved to the capital, there were still some tribe members in Shangzhou. If it weren't for Li Changfeng, his tribe members would have died without death.
Although Li Changfeng had never seen Zheng Yuande, he had heard of his name and knew that he was the commander of the Imperial Guard and played an important role in the great cause.
Seeing him leading his troops, Li Changfeng was quite surprised, jumped out of the carriage and helped Zheng Yuande up, and said in confusion: "What's the matter with the general?"
Zheng Yuande said seriously: "According to Your Majesty's order, we will lead a thousand imperial guards to escort His Highness back to Beijing!"
Li Changhe was stunned, pointed at his nose and asked in surprise: "Escort me?"
Zheng Yuande nodded and said, "Your Majesty was furious when he learned that Your Highness was assassinated. He was worried about His Highness's safety. He was the last person to come to pick him up."
Li Changfeng looked at the sky speechlessly.
The Imperial Guard Commander personally led the army to escort him. Isn’t this too high-profile?
It's just nonsense!
How can a mere prince be treated like this?
I just want to return to Beijing to pay for the job in a low-key manner, and then go back to Baishi City!
With such a thing, it’s impossible to become famous.
Seeing Li Changfeng's helpless look, Zheng Yuande said in confusion: "Your Highness, is there any problem?"
Li Changfeng sighed and laughed dryly, "No problem, what's the problem?"
As he said that, he took out a stack of silver notes from his pocket like a magic trick, stuffed them directly into Zheng Yuande's hand, and smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, brothers, take them to have tea."
Then, without waiting for Zheng Yuande to refuse, he jumped into the carriage and entered the carriage, ordering: "Let's go."
Zheng Yuande was stunned and counted it for a while, and found that it turned out to be one thousand taels of silver. He couldn't help but be surprised.
Such a number is very generous.
He did not dare to embezzle him, and shouted loudly to the Imperial Guard behind him: "Your Highness will reward you with a thousand taels of silver, and everyone will have a share!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Royal Guard soldiers who rushed over from a long distance, who were somewhat resentful in their hearts suddenly burst out with cheers.
Li Changfeng leaned against the soft collapse in the carriage, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "This Zheng Yuande is quite interesting."
Immediately, the army set out.
...
A quick horse had already reported Li Changfeng's whereabouts to Emperor Ganwu. After calculating the time to return to Beijing, Emperor Ganwu ordered all the princes and ministers to come to greet him.
Although there was no grand ceremony, Emperor Gan Wu still ordered people to splash water to sweep the streets, showing his importance to this matter.
In addition, the ministers and servants in the court kept rushing outside the city, causing a lot of noise, which attracted the attention of the people in the capital.
When they learned that they were welcoming Li Changfeng, they couldn't help but leave the city, standing behind all civil and military officials, and welcome Li Changfeng together.
Those who are inconvenient to leave the city or who cannot find a good location outside the city to see Li Changfeng stand on the road that must be passed in the city.
After all, Li Changfeng's flood control incidents have been widely circulated among the people, and his actions are even called miracles. Everyone wants to see this magical prince.
Even Feng Shi, Ziyang and others from Fengtianhui also mingled among the crowd, with complex expressions.
Fengtian met with two waves of killers, and they failed one after another and did not survive.
Li Changfeng not only lived well, but also made such great contributions, and even let the court officials and the princes go out of the city to welcome him.
Their series of actions against Li Changfeng were simply jokes.
...
With the escort of the Imperial Guard, Li Changfeng completely relaxed and fell asleep unknowingly in the carriage.
I don’t know how long it took, but the carriage stopped and Zheng Yuande’s voice came from outside: “Your Highness, wake up, you have to come down.”
Li Changfeng slowly opened his eyes, stretched his waist, yawned and said, "Have you arrived at this prince's mansion?"
Zheng Yuande said: "Report to Your Highness, there is no one yet. We are currently outside the capital."
Li Changfeng felt aroused, and he was puzzled, "Why don't you go directly to the city?"
Zheng Yuande said: "I forgot to tell your highness that your Majesty ordered the court officials to welcome your highness outside the city."
"What!?"
Li Changfeng exclaimed, hurriedly walked out of the carriage, and couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw the scene in front of him.
I saw hundreds of civil and military officials headed by Prime Minister Feng Quji, and many princes headed by the eldest prince Li Chengye, standing in front of the gate of the capital not far away.
They look different, curious, admirable, joyful, and resentful... very complicated.
Behind them were countless people, stretching their necks hard and looking at him.
The eyes of these people are much simpler, most of them are respect and curiosity.
Seeing this scene, Li Changfeng was completely confused!
