When King E Li Yao heard this, he knew that this was not the prince's idea. He frowned and asked sadly: "Is this the second brother's plan to protect himself by giving in and forbearing, tying his own hands and feet, and leaving himself alone and helpless?"
"That's right, only in this way can I survive as the crown prince."
"What a big mistake! I don't know who taught this to my second brother. I even suspect that this person has ulterior motives! Think about it for yourself. Concubine Wu Hui is aggressive and wants to help her son become a prince! But you are blindly doing this. Be patient and retreat, will they give up after retreating?"
"No! She will continue to bewitch Aye and drive you out of the position of prince. But what can you do then! Cut off contact with your brothers, stop making friends with courtiers, and there won't even be anyone to speak for you. !”
"Passive defense and isolation can only lead to death! Only by taking the initiative can you gain life!"
Li Yao's words were like beads connected in a line, hitting Li Ying's heart quickly. Yes, this kind of cowering and fearful life is too uncomfortable. There are ready-made enemies in front of him, and they can attack him. But he couldn't fight back? He was a noble crown prince, how could he hold back.
What Li Siye said was good, but it didn't suit him! He, Li Ying, couldn't bear it! He hated the feeling that his fate was in the hands of others, so he had to take the initiative and create a situation that was beneficial to him!
"right!"
As a member of the Li family, how could he shrink back and isolate himself? He should give it a try!
Li Yao showed a gloomy expression and took the opportunity to go forward and said: "Emperor Taizong was squeezed out by Prince Jiancheng and Qi Wang Yuanji in the past. If he just retreated and defended, how could the Xuanwu Gate change happen?"
Li Ju also came over, lowered his head and said in a conspiratorial tone: "Second brother, I have a strategy to offer."
Li Ying was a little flustered, but still asked: "What's the plan?"
"In a few days, there will be the annual Autumn Monkey Hunting. My father will take Qian Niuwei to the Royal Hunting Garden on Zhoushipo in Xianyang. We princes, princesses, princesses, consorts, and distinguished dignitaries will all go there. At that time, we only need to do some tricks on King Shou's mount to make him fall off the horse. Even if he doesn't fall to death, he will be half crippled and lose his life."
"We want to see how Concubine Wu Hui allows his son to become the crown prince when Prince Shou becomes a semi-invalid person. Only in this way can you, second brother, be safe!"
This plan is truly brilliant and vicious. As the heir to the throne, he must be in good health. This is a hard condition. If King Shou falls into a cripple, it will not help no matter how many times Concubine Wu Hui whispers in her father's ears.
Li Ying took a breath of cold air. It was too dangerous to play like this. If grandpa noticed it, not only would the position of the prince be lost, but his life would also be ruined!
"On the day of hunting, how can you get close to King Shou's horse when there are so many people out there? Once this is revealed, you and I will both die without a burial place. No, no, the risk is too great!"
"Second brother!" Li Ju reached out and pulled Li Ying's sleeve and whispered: "We are prepared. Don't forget that we have an insider in Prince Shou's palace! The person we arranged is to help Prince Shou train his horse. His servant, he will definitely be there on the day of hunting, waiting for an opportunity to attack King Shou’s mount!”
Li Ying was still hesitant and could not take the risk of failure.
"Second brother, if you seek wealth in danger, don't hesitate any longer! If you hit the snake within seven inches, the longevity king will be the seven inches of Concubine Wu Hui!"
"You have been plotted and framed by them several times before, can't you take the initiative once more?"
"good!"
He decided.
Li Ying walked out of Prince E's Mansion with deep worries. It was about the life and death of their three brothers. It was such a difficult decision to make such a decision.
He mounted his horse and looked back at the Qianniu guards around him. Li Siye didn't seem to be among them. Should he ask him about this kind of thing, or ask Zhan Shi in the East Palace?
Forget it, they are outsiders after all.
…
The royal family began to prepare for the annual autumn hunting, which was held at the Royal Hunting Garden on Zhoushipo in Xianyang. Li Siye was also actively preparing. Of course, his preparation was to practice his horse riding skills.
At his current level, which is to ride a horse around the streets of Chang'an, if he really wants to run wildly in the wild, he will probably be embarrassed.
It doesn't matter if he embarrasses himself, it will be embarrassing if he embarrasses the entire Dong Palace team.
However, His Highness the Crown Prince seems to be very tolerant recently, allowing Qianniu to take the horses from the East Palace out for personal convenience, but they must ride them back when they return to the palace. This kind of behavior is now considered a public vehicle for private use.
This is also a way to win people's hearts, but if you change it to a dignified prince, it will seem unattractive.
On the fifth day of August, the autumn air was crisp, and the sky was blue and blue, only dotted with scattered clouds. Emperor Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty personally led the sons of the Li family, meritorious relatives, as well as the left and right Qianniu Guards and the left and right Shenwu Army to Zhoushi Slope in Xianyang
.
Different from hunting in other dynasties, there was a place for women in the hunting teams of the Tang Dynasty. This fine tradition started with Li Yuan’s daughter Princess Pingyang. After all, she was the guard general of the gate where women did not let men down.
Many of the hunting teams are husband and wife teams, such as Li Longji and Concubine Wu Hui, the crown prince and crown princess, Prince Shou and his concubine, as well as the princesses and consorts.
No matter what time, this person next to King Shou is always the most eye-catching person. The surprise brought by his appearance can always outshine other princesses and wives. Even our Emperor of the Tang Dynasty took advantage of Concubine Wu Hui not paying attention.
Sometimes, I would secretly glance over there once or twice from the corners of my eyes.
The women in the Hunting Garden today are wearing two styles of clothing. One is to wear a chest-length underskirt with a half-arm top and a red silk scarf draped on the shoulders and back to cover up but still reveal. The woman wearing this outfit is definitely a
For those who don't ride horses, they come to the hunting park mainly to accompany men and highlight their appearance and beauty. The key is that she can't stand the jolt when riding a horse in this kind of clothes, and it is easy for her clothes to be exposed or get hung up on bushes. But you can't underestimate this kind of exposure.
.In the Tang Dynasty, there were only two kinds of women who dared to wear such clothes in public. One was the maid of honor, and the other was known to everyone on earth.
The second type is an open-collared Hufu made of brocade with a missing crotch at the hem. It is a costume passed down from the Western Regions. Originally it was only a men’s hunting suit, but women also like to wear it. When women put on this kind of clothes, they will
Sacrificing part of the beauty, it looks much more neutral.
Yang Yuhuan is wearing such a light green military uniform, which is not surprising. What is surprising is that she can look beautiful in military uniform, and adds a bit of heroism to her beauty.
The thousands of brothers guarded by the Qianniu Guards and the Yulin Army at the hunting ground were not interested in the looming breasts. Instead, their eyes were secretly chasing the green and slender figure on the green grass.
Being immersed in Chang'an City all year round, their aesthetic vision is definitely the highest, leading the fashion of the Tang court and the people.
It stands to reason that the longevity king Li Hao should have been unable to bear the sight of his daughter-in-law being peeked at for a long time. He should have locked her in a boudoir and not allowed to step out of the gate.
But the men of the Tang Dynasty still had a bit of mind and would not stop these secretly admiring glances.
Beauty originally needs to be appreciated, and this kind of appreciation beyond distance is the true respect for beauty. Just like the lotus in Zhou Dunyi's mouth, you can look at it from a distance but not play with it. Viewing from a distance can make you happy, but playing with it will make you nervous.

But there was someone who didn't understand this style, and almost lost everything.
