Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3997 The poison of the machine
Wang Shoushi's heart seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, he had difficulty breathing, his whole body was cold, and a chill rose from the bottom of his heart...

Hiding in the dark for more than ten years, without seeing the sun, and painstakingly, he has just tempered such a deadly soldier's armed force for His Majesty. It was originally expected to be used against Guan Long's honorable nobles under extreme circumstances.Now that he was used by himself to deal with Fang Jun, who would have thought that he would be wiped out as soon as he emerged, even his old nest... How could Bu be so distressed that he wanted to vomit blood?

Seeing His Majesty Li Er's questioning gaze, Wang Shoushi could only bite the bullet and come to him, bowed and said in a low voice: "The slaves are incompetent, those people who are hiding in the city... are all arrested by the 'Baiqisi' or Or hunt down, it is no longer possible."

"It can't be done" is a relatively cryptic statement, in other words, "the whole army is destroyed"...

When he said this, he was in an atmosphere of pain and distress, and more of it was panic. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that few of the things His Majesty told him were done smoothly.

His Majesty Li Er didn't get angry, looked at the increasingly bustling crowd outside the city gate, snorted softly, and said: "You are smart! Fang Jun is young and full-blooded, so you think he is a money-hungry, lustful, rich-looking dude." , can easily fall into your trap without knowing it? That guy has a beautiful heart, both civil and military, and he will become a generation of outstanding people in the future! When you show your feet, that guy will work side by side with Li Junxian again, and the end of this matter will be It's doomed that you can't beat them. Just accept your ridiculous thoughts, how can you, an old slave, be able to deal with the talents I value? How many mistakes you have made, follow me from now on, don't If you were captured by that fellow, then I will lose you."

Wang Shoushi's heart was cold. The reason why he was favored by His Majesty, and he didn't even have to take Li Ji into his eyes, wasn't it because he controlled the hidden power for His Majesty?Now that all the support has been swept away, how is it different from an ordinary eunuch?
It's a pity that when the four gates of Chang'an were under martial law, Li Ji warned himself to be careful of any changes in the city, but he didn't care about it, and finally swallowed the bitter fruit, too late to regret... The resentment towards Fang Jun in his heart intensified , I wish I could eat his flesh and blood, and smash his bones into ashes!

*****
The curtains are half rolled up, and the drizzle is drizzling.

The cool breeze poured in from the window with a little water vapor, blowing away the mist on the teacup, and the fragrance of tea was lingering in the tent...

Li Tai picked up the small teacup, put it to his mouth and took a sip, savoring the sweetness of the tea soup. After a long time, he shook his head and let out a breath, and said with emotion: "Good tea! You said Fang Er is a fool How did it grow? Tea as a drink originated from Shennong, but it has always been supplemented with various condiments and delved into various cooking methods to make it dazzling and varied, but no one has ever understood the principle of simplicity. A few pieces of tea, brewed in the simplest way, you can taste the supreme sweetness, and get back to the original meaning... It is said that this guy has earned a lot of gold and silver from a single tea sale, and our brothers are in the sky. Nobles, but they have to worry about the expenses of the government all day long, and sometimes they even have to do things that are not on the table, and they are often impeached by the censor and attacked by the courtiers, thinking about it is a bit aggrieved."

His emotion made Li Zhi on the opposite side a little speechless, and he said helplessly: "Brother, you still have the heart to taste the tea ceremony at this moment? In the past few days, the security in the camp has more than doubled compared to the past, and the soldiers are constantly patrolling. Some swords are on the verge of breaking out, my brother is terrified, I'm afraid something is about to happen!"

He has always been an insecure person, and being placed under house arrest alone in this Right Tunwei made him extremely terrified. Although he knew that the crown prince and Fang Jun would not be cruel to him, but his fate was in the hands of others, it was a night of trouble. An pillow, a cup bow and a snake shadow.

Therefore, he has a particularly keen perception of the surrounding atmosphere.

Li Tai narrowed his eyes and sipped tea, disapprovingly said: "Pheasant slave, you are still young, and you don't know the complexity of the world and people's hearts. If we are still in the city, we really have to worry about our own safety. It is hard to say that someone wants to kill us and blame the prince. But Since he is in the hands of the prince, there is no such danger, no matter what, the prince will never allow our brother to have any accidents, otherwise he will not be able to wash away the serious crime of 'killing siblings' by jumping into the Yellow River, and he will be infamous forever."

The two of them are the most qualified to replace the prince as the crown prince. If any accident happens to them, the prince will benefit the most. Therefore, when the overall situation is settled at this moment, the prince will be able to take the throne in a stable manner. How can they let them A little accident happened, which caused twists and turns?
Li Zhi shook his head, still panicking. He felt that his brother had taken it for granted, so he reminded in a low voice: "The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. Now the elder brother of the prince is as stable as Mount Tai, and the throne is just around the corner. The situation is irreversible. Even if you kill us both , who can do anything about it? Don’t forget that Emperor Father also did this kind of thing under the Xuanwu sect, and was not praised by the world as the master of a generation, with unparalleled prestige?”

For an emperor in the world, is infamy a fart?The father and the emperor also did the "killing of brothers and brothers", and people before and after never shy away from it. Who in the government and the opposition will take this seriously?As long as the emperor is competent, the balance of power is maintained, and the world lives and works in peace and contentment, who cares if you have killed people and set fires?
Even if the prince kills them today, and then declares to the outside world that "they were murdered by traitors", who can reverse the case for them?

Li Tai was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "The crown prince is different from his father. The father is a hero with great talent and determination. Reputation, besides, the prince is benevolent, unless it is absolutely necessary, he will definitely not move such thoughts."

People are different, with different personalities, different actions, and different achievements.

The father is wise and martial, and he does things unscrupulously because he firmly believes that he can recover and make up for it afterwards, so he naturally acts as he pleases.The prince is weak in character, he looks forward and backward in dealing with things, trembling, fearing that he will make a mistake, how dare he do such atrocious actions?
Li Zhi was about to argue, when there were footsteps outside the door, a servant opened the curtain and came in, shut up quickly.

The waiter dragged a tea tray with some exquisite pastries in his hand, came to the second king, put the tea tray on the coffee table, and said with a smile: "I just made some snacks in the kitchen, thinking that your highness has not eaten yet, Therefore, I will send some first, and when the meal is ready later, I will invite the two Highnesses to have lunch."

Li Tai hummed, waved his hand, and repelled the waiter, then picked up a piece of pastry, and was about to put it in his mouth...

"stop!"

Suddenly there was a loud shout at the door, which made the two brothers tremble in fright. The pastry in Li Tai's hand fell off, and he looked up in surprise, and saw Fang Jun striding into the tent in military uniform with a murderous look on his face. The soldiers also swarmed in, each with a horizontal knife in their hands, full of murderous intent.

"Snapped!"

Li Zhi accidentally knocked over the teacup in front of him, almost fell to the ground, his handsome face was full of horror, trembling all over, he said in a trembling voice: "Fang Er...Erlang...Brother-in-law, you can't kill me! This time Guan Long wanted to dethrone the crown prince, but I didn't do anything, even when they came to force me, I stayed away!"

Li Tai also panicked, just now he vowed to analyze the situation for Li Zhi, showing the calm demeanor of Zhizhu, but now his face is pale, and he stammered: "Erlang, we are friends, we are still relatives, you You can't kill me! What, why don't you let me meet the prince, please?"

No matter how sure he was just now that the crown prince would not attack him, but now that Fang Jun rushed in with his helmet on, and the soldiers behind him were murderous, it was inevitable that he would be flustered and fighting with each other.

It was only now that he remembered that although the prince is kind and weak, he would not kill the two brothers, but the entire East Palace is tied to the prince's interests. If those guys want to eliminate hidden dangers, Get rid of all those who are qualified to threaten the crown prince's position, and the prince may not succumb under great pressure...

Fang Jun looked down at the two Highnesses from above, and suddenly grinned, his white teeth seemed to be bracing the cold air, which made Li Tai and Li Zhi more and more horrified.

"hey-hey!"

Fang Jun laughed twice, and said quietly: "Your Highness, there is no need to be afraid. The humble minister did not come here to take the heads of the two sages, so there is no need to disturb them."

Li Tai breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a bitter face: "What do you mean by the head... This sounds scary, what is Erlang's intention in dressing like this?"

Fang Jun said with a smile: "Of course, I dare not do the act of slaughtering the prince, but others may not have such thoughts."

"Erlang...Brother-in-law! If you have something to say, tell me, who is going to take my brother's life?" Li Zhi was about to cry in fright. Life and death, legs are weak.

Seeing his appearance, Fang Jun was a little bored, and his desire to scare the two of them faded away...

"Come here, check this plate of pastries to see if there is any poison!"

Fang Jun waved his hand, and suddenly several soldiers who looked like military doctors came in from outside, took the plate of snacks aside, cut them into neat small pieces, placed them one by one separately, and took them out of the medicine box A pile of bottles and cans are tested with various reagents.

The two brothers Li Tai and Li Zhi realized something, looked at each other, and swallowed at the same time.

It seemed that Fang Jun didn't intend to kill them, but nobles like them had seen such a rigorous drug testing procedure before, that is to say, someone wanted to poison them, and the poison was likely to be in this plate of snacks.

Li Tai thought that he almost put the snacks in his mouth just now, he felt his heart beating wildly, and his clenched fists were full of cold sweat...

After a long while, a military doctor got up and said respectfully: "Commander Qi, it is true that someone poisoned this snack. If the humble officer proves it is correct, the poison is a trigger."

Li Tai and Li Zhi turned pale and froze on the spot.
