Chapter five hundred and thirty fifth royal secrets
After the leader of the Fighting Sky Alliance said these words, everyone present was stunned.
No one thought that this powerful mysterious man would actually be a member of the Daqian royal family!
In fact, Gu Cheng was not that surprised, because he had already vaguely guessed it, and now he just confirmed it.
The leader of the Zhengtian Alliance is surnamed Li, and he knows the Daqian court and the Daqian royal family very well. This understanding even exceeds the knowledge of a Jianghu person, so the other party is likely to be a member of the Daqian royal family.
However, Gu Cheng did not expect that the leader of the Zhengtian Alliance would actually call Li Yuangong his seventh brother.
Because Gu Cheng remembered that when Li Yuangong won the throne in the past, he seemed to have killed all his brothers. Only the previous prince had a son left, and Li Yuangong threw him far away to Western Xinjiang to become a prince. Now It seems that the leader of the Heaven Confrontation Alliance slipped through the net?
At this time, Chen Gongqing said with a look of horror on his face: "Li Yuance! It's you! They said you were dead at first, but our family never believed it.
But why are you going through so much trouble today? Do you have to do this with all the housework I do?"
The leader of the Zhengtian Alliance, or rather Li Yuance, chuckled and said, "Family affairs? What I am in charge of now is also the family affairs of my Li family."
After Li Yuance revealed his true face, Zhao Dansheng also showed a hint of surprise.
He recognized Li Yuance.
When he had just taken over the position of the leader of the Zhengyi sect and was named a national master, that was when he was in high spirits.
As a result, a young man from the Daqian royal family told him that he was a mixed bag of talents, but none of them had reached the ultimate peak. The road in the future would become narrower and narrower.
This person was Li Yuance, but at that time Li Yuance had not yet reached the level of a master, and could only be regarded as a young man with good talent. How could he, an upright leader of the sect, listen to the nonsense of a young man?
If it weren't for the fact that the other party was from the Daqian royal family, he would have cursed him long ago.
So he didn't even ask Li Yuance's name and sent him away casually.
Zhao Dansheng never imagined in his life that the young man who didn't know what he meant at the time could actually grow to such an extent that even he was not an enemy of Yihe.
After Gu Cheng heard the name Li Yuance, he actually had some impressions in his memory. When he was drinking with Li Shanchang in Jiangnan County, Li Shanchang confided some royal secrets to him after he got drunk.
Although Li Shanchang is an idle prince, he is one of the few royals in Daqian who survived the turmoil of the previous royal family, so he really knows a lot about Li Yuangong's generation.
Li Yuangong was not initially qualified to compete for the throne like the current second and fourth princes.
He ranked seventh, a position that was neither embarrassing nor embarrassing. At that time, he was just a follower of the prince. Just like Li Xiaojun now, he helped the prince with things and expected that the prince would give him a good fiefdom after he came to power.
And Li Yuance is not as good as Li Yuangong. He is not even ranked in the Daqian royal family. He has no chance of becoming king in this life because he is the son of a barbarian from Western Xinjiang.
Li Yuance's mother was born in a small tribe of Hu people in Western Xinjiang. There were wars in that place all the year round. Some tribes were constantly conquering, and Daqian was also fighting with them. The tribe that Li Yuance's mother belonged to was wiped out, and she was enslaved by a local tribe as a slave. The small country of Daqian was presented to the previous emperor as a gift.
Therefore, Li Yuance's mother, let alone a concubine, could only be regarded as a plaything slave, not even as good as a palace maid.
Originally, such a plaything slave was not qualified to give birth to a child. However, due to an accident at the imperial doctor's office, or perhaps due to the special constitution of the Hu woman, Li Yuance's mother became pregnant after taking medicine.
The ancestors of Da Qian regarded abortion as an ominous omen, so the previous emperor could only allow him to give birth to the child. As a result, Li Yuance's mother died shortly after giving birth to him due to her physical weakness, which also made Li Yuance regarded as an ominous omen. , was disliked by the emperor since he was a child, and was not even qualified to study with other princes. Instead, he was raised by some palace maids and guards.
And as Li Yuance grew up, he also showed some features of the Western Xinjiang Hu people. For example, his eyes were a little green, and his eye sockets were more sunken than those of the Central Plains people. This made the previous emperor even more uncomfortable. Overjoyed.
So he actually drove Li Yuance out of the imperial city and asked him to practice in the Imperial Guard. Although he was a dignified prince, he was treated like a soldier.
However, Li Yuance was actually very talented in martial arts, and was even praised by many generals of the Imperial Guard. He had already entered the realm of a grandmaster in his early twenties, and this was despite not having many resources to support him.
After learning about the other party's talent, the previous emperor had some changes in his view, but not much. He only gave him an idle position, but he still did not have the title of prince.
Later, things became much clearer. The competition for the throne of Li Yuangong's generation was also very fierce. Although the prince Li Yuangong chose to follow was not as cowardly and incompetent as the princes of this generation, the other princes were better, which seriously threatened his status.
Therefore, the princes of that generation recruited many people to help them. Li Yuangong was the most outstanding person among the princes who supported the prince. Although he was young and not famous, he actually gave the prince some ideas secretly. , of course the reputation and limelight are all gained by the prince.
And Li Yuance also took refuge with the then prince, just because the original prince was willing to call him brother and promised that when he ascended the throne, not only would he be crowned king, but his mother would also be given a title. This was what Li Yuance's mother had always said. obsession since.
Li Yuance had already begun to show his talents at that time, and his strength was the highest among the younger generation in the capital. With the promise of the previous prince, he was willing to drive him.
Therefore, Li Yuangong and Li Yuance can be said to be the right-hand men of the previous generation of princes. They were both civil and military. In the previous generation's battle for the right to inherit the throne, it was entirely thanks to them that the prince did not lose.
But in the end, I don’t know what happened. All the previous princes died. Not only the princes who competed with the prince for the throne died, but the prince himself even died. Instead, Li Yuangong, who had been hiding behind the prince, took the opportunity to take the throne. , became the most unexpected heir to the throne.
At that time, because Li Yuance was not a prince, no one even looked for his body, and no one cared about him. Except for old people like Li Shanchang who had survived from the previous royal family, few people in the entire Daqian royal family would remember him.
No one expected that this mysterious leader of the Zhengtian Alliance would be a member of the Daqian Li family or Li Yuangong's brother.
At this time, Li Yuangong's face was flushed, he pushed away Chen Gongqing who was blocking him, and said with a ferocious expression: "Yuan Ce, are you coming back to seek revenge on me this time? But do you know why I did that in the first place?
What to do? Because you and I have been deceived. He Li Yuanheng has never regarded us as brothers!
You and I are helping him ascend to the throne, but do you actually know how afraid he is of us?
Li Yuanheng is just a mediocre person. Without us, his position as prince would have been taken away by others!
As a result, do you know what I snooped in secret? I heard that he is actually planning to imprison the two of us after you ascend to the throne, the throne? I'm afraid that in the end, before the throne comes, your life will be lost!
Do you think you were moved after he called you "Emperor Brother" a few times? In fact, as the prince, he looks down on you having Hu blood the most!
Yuan Ce, your cultivation has reached the sky now, but I am not going to die soon, but even at this time, I have to say that I did not do anything wrong in the first place!
Yuan Ce, I was indeed cruel to Li Yuanheng and eliminated all the royal brothers because they were threats.
But I know you are not. I have fought side by side with you for so many years, and I really regard you as my younger brother!
Moreover, with your bloodline, even if I give up the throne to you, the important ministers in Daqian will not agree, so you are not the slightest threat to me.
I wanted to stabilize you at the beginning, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to break out of the siege. In fact, it was all a misunderstanding!"
Hearing Li Yuangong say this, the expression on Li Yuance's face did not change at all. He just said lightly: "Seventh brother, you are still as good at deceiving people as you were back then. All the confidants under the prince's command have already been fooled before he even noticed.
He has become yours.
In fact, I know what you said. The prince has never regarded me as his biological brother, and he has always looked down on me. Even if I had no cultivation, he would not even bother to look at me. He treats me
It's good, just to let me serve him."
Li Yuangong was stunned: "Since you know this, why do you still..."
"Because of his promise."
Li Yuance sighed softly and said: "I don't care about the throne, but my mother was clinging to a status even before she died. If you don't become the emperor, you won't get this status.
The relationship between me and the prince is just a deal, I help him get the throne, and he gives me the title I want."
Li Yuangong was stunned for a moment, and then said quickly: "I can give you all this! It was a misunderstanding before, but now don't help those scoundrels. I will not only give you the title of mother, but also the throne!"
Li Yuance shook his head and said: "It's too late.
Brother Qi, you think I don’t know, but in fact I know everything and you want to kill me.
You have outstanding abilities and are good at deceiving people. All the confidants under the prince's command are yours, but the strongest team among them is mine. You have always thought that I was the prince's die-hard loyalist, and you have not had any reaction when you secretly wooed me.
How could you let me leave?
Even if I was seriously injured and broke out that night, wouldn't you still send people to secretly search for me after you became emperor? It took several years until no trace of me was found, and then it was determined that I was dead.
But these are not important anymore. Apart from the progress in martial arts over the years, I have only learned one thing, that is, you still have to get what you want by yourself.
I don’t need the throne. Since you don’t want to give me my mother’s title, then I will raise an emperor and take it myself!”
