Wang Shoushi's heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar. He had difficulty breathing and was feeling cold all over. A chill rose from the bottom of his heart...
I have been hiding in the dark for more than ten years without seeing the light of day, and have worked hard to forge such an army of dead soldiers for His Majesty. I originally expected to use it against Guan Longxungui in extreme circumstances. Now I have been used by myself to deal with Fang Jun. Who would have expected?
As soon as he emerged, he was caught in a swoop, and even his old nest was taken away... How could he be so distressed that he almost wanted to vomit blood?
Seeing His Majesty Li Er looking over him with inquiring eyes, Wang Shoushi could only bite the bullet and come to him, bowed and whispered: "The slaves are incompetent, and the people hidden in the city... are all arrested by the 'Baiqisi'
Or pursuing and killing him is no longer possible."
"It can't be accomplished" is a relatively obscure term. In other words, it means "the whole army is destroyed"...
When he said this, he felt distressed and worried, and more importantly, he felt anxious and uneasy. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that few of the things His Majesty had assigned to him had been completed smoothly.
His Majesty Li Er was not angry at all. Looking at the increasingly bustling crowd outside the city gate, he snorted and said: "You are so smart! Fang Jun was young and full of energy, so you would have thought that he was a dandy who was greedy for money, lustful and had no money."
, can he easily fall into your trap without even realizing it? That guy has a beautiful heart, and is both civil and military. He will become a great man in the future! When you show your weakness, and that guy works side by side with Li Junxian, the outcome of this matter will be
It’s destined that you can’t fight them. Just accept your ridiculous thoughts. How can you, an old slave like you, be able to deal with the talents I value? If you make many mistakes, follow me from now on. Don’t do it.
If you are captured by that guy, then I will not be able to control you."
Wang Shoushi felt cold in his heart. The reason why he was so favored in front of His Majesty and could even ignore Li Ji was because he had mastered the secret power for His Majesty. Now all the reliance was wiped out and he was with an ordinary eunuch again.
What's the difference?
It's a pity that when the four gates of Chang'an were under martial law, Li Ji had warned him to be careful of any unusual movements in the city, but he didn't pay attention to it. In the end, he swallowed the bitter pill and regretted it... The hatred towards Fang Junzhi in his heart became more and more intense.
, I wish I could eat its flesh and blood, crush its bones and spread it into ashes!
*****
The curtains were half rolled up, and a drizzle fell.
The cool breeze with a little moisture poured in from the window, blowing away the water mist on the tea cup, and the fragrance of tea filled the tent...
Li Tai picked up the small tea cup, put it to his mouth and took a sip, savoring the sweetness of the tea. After a long time, he shook his head and exhaled, sighing: "What a good tea! You think Fang Er is so stupid?"
How did it grow? Tea as a drink was invented by Shen Nong, but it has always been supplemented with various seasonings and various cooking methods have been studied to make it dazzling and diverse. However, no one has ever understood the principle of simplicity.
A few pieces of tea leaves, brewed in the simplest way, can taste the supreme sweetness and return to nature... It is said that this guy has made a lot of gold and silver just from the tea business.
You are a nobleman, but you have to worry about the expenses of the palace all day long. Sometimes you even have to do some unseemly things, and you are often impeached by the censor and criticized by the courtiers. It is really frustrating to think about it."
His emotion made Li Zhi on the opposite side a little speechless, and he said helplessly: "Brother, you are still thinking about tasting the tea ceremony at this moment? In the past few days, the security in the camp has more than doubled than in the past, and soldiers are patrolling constantly. It's quite...
There are some tense atmospheres, and my brother is frightened, I'm afraid something is about to happen!"
He has always been an insecure person, and being under house arrest alone in the Youtun Guard made him extremely frightened. Although he knew that the prince and Fang Jun would not attack him harshly, his fate was in the hands of others, and he was in trouble at night.
Rest the pillow, the shadow of the cup, bow and snake.
Therefore, he is extremely sensitive to the surrounding atmosphere.
Li Tai squinted his eyes while sipping the tea, and said disapprovingly: "Pheasant slave, you are still young and don't know the complexity of the world. If we are still in the city, we are indeed worried about our own safety. It is hard to say that someone wants to kill us and put the blame on the prince. But
Since we are in the hands of the prince, there is no such danger. No matter what, the prince will never allow our brothers to have accidents. Otherwise, even if he jumps into the Yellow River, he will not be able to wash away the sin of 'mutilating his brothers and feet', which will be infamous for thousands of years."
The two of them are the most qualified to replace the Crown Prince and become the Crown Prince. If anything happens to them, the Crown Prince will benefit the most. So now that the overall situation has been decided, the Crown Prince can surely ascend the throne. How can they be allowed to do so?
A slight accident occurs, resulting in twists and turns?
Li Zhi shook his head, still feeling uneasy. He felt that his brother was taking it too much for granted, and reminded him in a low voice: "The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. Now the prince brother is as stable as a mountain, and his accession to the throne is just around the corner. The trend is irreversible, even if we both are killed."
, and who can do anything about it? Don’t forget, my father also did this kind of thing under the Xuanwu Sect back then, and later he was praised by people all over the world as a wise master with unparalleled prestige?"
For an emperor in the world, infamy is nothing. My father also committed the crime of "killing brothers and killing brothers", and he never shied away from it. Who in the government and the public would take this seriously? As long as the emperor does his job competently,
When power is balanced and people live and work in peace and contentment, who cares if you have killed people or set fires?
Even if the prince kills them today and then declares that he was "murdered by traitors", who can reverse their case?
Li Tai was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "The prince is different from his father. The father is a great hero with great talent and decisiveness. He naturally behaves in an eclectic way. However, the prince is just a conservative king and must care about himself."
In addition to his reputation and the prince's kindness, he would definitely not have such thoughts unless absolutely necessary."
People are different, with different personalities, different behaviors, and different achievements.
The father is wise and powerful, doing things unscrupulously because he firmly believes that he can make amends and make amends afterwards, so he naturally does whatever he wants. But the prince has a weak character, looks forward and backward in everything, and is cautious and fearful of making mistakes. How can he dare to do such cruelty?
Li Zhi was about to argue when he heard footsteps outside the door. A chamberlain opened the door curtain and walked in. He quickly shut up.
The chamberlain dragged a tea tray with several exquisite pastries on it. He came to the two kings, placed the tea tray on the coffee table, and said with a smile: "I just made a few snacks in the kitchen. Thinking that your highnesses have not eaten yet,
Therefore, I will send some first, and when the meal is ready, I will invite your two highnesses to enjoy lunch."
Li Tai hummed, waved his hand to repel the waiter, then picked up a piece of pastry and was about to put it into his mouth...
"stop!"
Suddenly there was a loud shout at the door, which made the two brothers tremble. The pastry fell off Li Tai's hand. He looked up in surprise and saw Fang Jun, dressed in military uniform and with a murderous look on his face, striding into the tent. Behind him
The soldiers also swarmed in, holding swords in each hand and filled with murderous intent.
"Snapped!"
Li Zhi accidentally knocked over the tea cup in front of him and almost fell to the ground. His delicate face was full of horror, and his whole body was trembling as he said: "Fang Er... Erlang... Brother-in-law, you can't kill me this time!"
Guan Long started an uprising to depose the crown prince, but I didn't do anything. Even when they came to force me, I stayed away!"
Li Tai was also panicked. Just now he had sworn to analyze the situation for Li Zhi, showing his calm demeanor with his wisdom. Now his face turned pale and he stammered: "Erlang, we are friends after all, and we are still relatives. You
But you can’t kill me! Um, why don’t you let me meet the prince and ask for mercy?”
No matter how sure he was just now that the prince would not attack him, at this moment Fang Jun rushed in with his helmet and armor on, and the soldiers behind him were filled with murderous intent. It was inevitable that he would be panicked, and the two groups were fighting.
Only then did he remember that although the prince was kind and weak and would not kill the two brothers, the entire East Palace was tied to the prince's interests. If those guys wanted to eliminate the hidden danger,
If all those who are qualified to threaten the crown prince's position are eliminated, the crown prince may not yield under tremendous pressure...
Fang Jun looked down at the two highnesses and suddenly grinned. His white teeth seemed to be filled with cold air, which frightened the two brothers Li Tai and Li Zhi even more.
"hey-hey!"
Fang Jun laughed twice and said quietly: "Your Highnesses, there is no need to be afraid. The minister is not here to take your heads, so there is no need to disturb you."
Li Tai breathed a sigh of relief and said with a grimace: "What do you mean by the head on the neck... This sounds scary. What is Erlang's intention in dressing up like this?"
Fang Jun smiled and said: "Of course I don't dare to kill the prince, but others may not have such thoughts."
"Erlang...brother-in-law! If you have something to say, who is going to take my brother's life?" Li Zhi was almost scared to tears. He was not very courageous to begin with. What he was good at was hiding behind the shields built by his brothers. Now he was facing him head-on.
Life and death, my legs are weak.
Seeing his appearance, Fang Jun was a little bored, and his desire to frighten these two people faded away...
"Come here, check this plate of pastries to see if it's poisoned!"
Fang Jun waved his hand, and several soldiers who looked like military doctors came in from outside. They took the plate of snacks aside, cut them into neat little pieces, then placed them one by one, and then took them out of the medicine box.
A bunch of bottles and cans were tested with various reagents.
Brothers Li Tai and Li Zhi realized something, looked at each other, and swallowed in unison.
It seemed that Fang Jun didn't want to kill them, but nobles like them had seen this strict poison testing procedure before, which meant that someone wanted to poison them, and the poison was probably on this plate of snacks.
Li Tai thought about the snack he had just taken and almost put it in his mouth. He felt his heart pounding and his clenched fists were filled with cold sweat...
After a while, a military doctor stood up and said respectfully: "Commander, this snack has indeed been poisoned by someone. If I verify it correctly, the poison is a triggering drug."
Li Tai and Li Zhi turned pale and froze on the spot.
