Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 293 Brothers’ Covenant (2)

There are very few pedestrians on the streets in the early morning, and only some early-rising shopkeepers are wandering around. The galloping carriage is unimpeded, and the speed is surprisingly fast. Of course, some bumps are inevitable. , but Li Xian who was sitting in it didn't complain at all. In fact, he didn't have the heart to complain at the moment. There were only two words in his eyes that kept swaying - East Palace!Because there is only one seat for the crown prince, but there are several buttocks that are qualified to sit on it, Li Xian is extremely anxious about it because he has no freedom.

There seems to be a slight difference between the prince and the prince, but this is the difference between heaven and earth. One is a monarch, even though he is only a half-lord, but his position is there. If there is no accident, he will be an emperor in the future. As for the prince, it sounds noble, but he is still nothing more than a minister. In the Tang Dynasty, there are many princes, heirs, and county kings. There are more than a hundred people, and it is really worthless. If you can't be enthroned as emperor, the best result is nothing more than becoming a Shangzhou governor, and what can be used for it, you must know that Datang has more than 360 states, one more governor, one less governor, isn't that so thing.

The crown prince, when he thinks about it, Li Xian's heart becomes very hot. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is salivating. Isn't the hard work for so many years just for this position?Now the opportunity has come, although it came very suddenly, but Li Xian didn't feel too surprised, because Li Xian had already warned about this many times, he would not be anxious about it, it really made Li Xian feel at ease There is only one thing that is uneasy, and that is Li Xian's true attitude. When he thinks of his monstrous younger brother, Li Xian's heart can't help but secretly feel guilty. However, he still didn't dare to make such a decision. In the final analysis, Li Xian was really afraid of Li Xian's ability and wisdom deep in his heart.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, His Royal Highness is already waiting outside the gate of the mansion."

Just as Li Xian was thinking about it, the carriage stopped in front of the screen wall of the Prince's Mansion at some point. Zhang Che waited for a long time, but he didn't see any movement in the carriage, so he hurried to the curtain of the carriage and whispered A reminder said.

"Ah, oh? Good, good."

Hearing the noise, Li Xian finally woke up from his daze, answered a few times indiscriminately, raised his hand, and slightly lifted the curtain of the car, and the servants waiting beside him were busy turning the car away. The curtain was rolled up, Li Xian bent down and got out of the carriage, and he saw Li Xian in white robe standing under the steps in front of the palace. He didn't dare to put on airs like his elder brother, so he hurried over.

"Brother Six."

Seeing that Li Xian had arrived, Li Xian immediately went forward to greet him, bowed his hands and greeted him, but both his expression and tone were extremely indifferent, so indifferent that no one could see the slightest clue. No sorrow, no joy, just blindly calm.

"Seventh brother, you... ah, that is actually true?"

Seeing Li Xian's expression like this, Li Xian panicked for no reason, pointed to the black gauze on Li Xian's sleeve, and asked aloud.

"Well, let's go, let's go to the palace!"

Li Xian didn't say much, just nodded indifferently, and immediately waved his hand to signal Li Xian to get in the car.

"Oh, ok, ok, but... well, my brother hasn't prepared the mourning clothes yet, this..."

What Li Xian was afraid of was that Li Xian would compete with him, seeing Li Xian's indifferent expression, he panicked from the bottom of his heart, and stammered something, maybe he didn't even know it.

"It's okay, my little brother has already prepared it for the sixth brother, just put it on, let's go."

Li Xian didn't want to talk nonsense, so he clapped his hands, and a servant came up from behind holding a set of white mourning clothes. Zhang Che, who was following behind Li Xian, rushed forward and took the mourning clothes, but He didn't hand it to Li Xian directly, but took the opportunity of stepping back, checked it quickly, then shook off the robe, and put it on Li Xian courteously.

"Seventh brother, please."

Funeral robes are easy to put on, as long as you fold the skirts together, Li Xian is thinking right now, and he doesn't care about changing clothes in public, so he let Zhang Che get dressed neatly, so he waved his hand , said the appeal.

"Sixth brother, please!"

Li Xian didn't show any more politeness, and after waving his hand for a gesture, he walked towards Li Xian's carriage. When Li Xian saw it, he was taken aback for a moment, then quickened his pace, bypassed the carriage, and got on the shaft from the other end , bent down and got into the carriage almost at the same time as Li Xian.

"Start!"

Seeing that the Li Xian brothers had boarded the car, Zhang Che hurriedly directed several servants to put down the curtains of the car. Immediately, shouting at the top of their voices, the team turned out of Zhaobi and galloped towards the imperial city.

"Seventh brother, what's going on here? Did that guy really go? Besides, isn't the seventh brother in the palace? Why did he come out again?" Just after starting it, I couldn't help asking questions repeatedly.

"Does Sixth Brother still remember what my little brother said on the night of the fourteenth day of the first month?"

Li Xian didn't rush to answer Li Xian's question, but asked back in a flat tone.

"Ah, this... Could it be that that guy is really the queen mother..."

Li Xian was slightly startled, his eyes widened immediately, and he stammered.

"Well, although my younger brother has never witnessed it with my own eyes, I am sure there will be no falsehood. If my younger brother hadn't made a decisive decision, I am afraid that the end will be the same as that of the prince's brother."

Li Xian had no intention of deceiving Li Xian, and replied with great certainty.

"There is such a thing? This, this, how is this possible? Brother Wei's position is already in chaos, the seventh brother is not going to be tricked, let's talk about it in detail and listen to Brother Wei."

Hearing that Li Xian was almost caught in it, Li Xian was taken aback immediately—yes, Li Xian really regarded Li Xian as the only potential opponent for the crown prince, but he knew in his heart that if he disappeared, Li Xian's help, even if he enters the East Palace, may not end well. In other words, Li Xian now hopes that Li Xian will be unable to enter the East Palace due to some accidents, but he does not want Li Xian to be in charge of the East Palace. This is the end of the game, under such ambivalence, Li Xian's surprise is still a little sincere.

"So that Sixth Brother can find out, the thing is like this, my younger brother got married yesterday, he drank too much alcohol, he got a headache and woke up early..."

Li Xian is such an intelligent person, how can he not guess what Li Xian is thinking now, but he doesn't care about it. Well, it's just a card in his hand. Of course, this card is extremely important, and Li Xian is reluctant to give it up at will. In order for Li Xian to have a clear understanding of Empress Wu's viciousness, Li Xian will not With some concealment, this describes in detail what happened in the early morning of this morning.

"Huh... so that's the case, the queen mother is too much, alas, the poor prince brother just left like this, seventh brother, how should we deal with this matter? Brother is confused, so you can make up your mind, brother He should be attached to Jiwei." Li Xian listened to Li Xian's statement silently, but his expression kept changing, and finally, he let out a sigh of relief, shaking his head and sighing.

"In the end, this matter still depends on the will of the emperor. From my younger brother's point of view, further investigation will be nothing more than an accident. It will not help the matter, but there is a possibility of plotting against the middleman. The most important thing at the moment is that you can go smoothly, sixth brother." Entering the Eastern Palace, other matters might as well be postponed for later discussion." Li Xian knew what Li Xian was thinking, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense, and directly stated his decision.

"Ah, me? This...seventh brother, brother..."

What Li Xian was looking forward to was Li Xian's promise, but when Li Xian said that he would come out, he felt uneasy, stammering and wanting to refute, but he was unwilling to speak modestly. When he said it, he faltered in embarrassment.

"The position in the East Palace is very important. In today's world, except for the sixth brother, there is no one worthy to sit there. If anyone refuses to accept it, my younger brother will definitely not let him go!"

Li Xian's narrow-mindedness was already expected by Li Xian. Seeing him hesitating, he sneered secretly in his heart, but he expressed his opinion with a determined expression on his face.

"Seventh brother's words make him behave like a brother. In terms of virtue and ability, a brother is far worse than the seventh brother. To steal this great position, is it safe to convince people's hearts? If you don't dare to do it for a brother, you can't do it. If so The seventh brother has this intention, so he should do his best to help him."

As soon as Li Xian spoke to this point, Li Xian's heart was at ease, and he spoke smoothly and beautifully, as if he really meant to let the virtuous, it can be said that the words are better than the songs, but what, That's nothing more than false modesty. If he really wants to give up his position, I'm afraid Li Xian will have the heart to vote.

"Sixth brother, that's not what you said. The great position in the East Palace is the foundation of the country, and only the virtuous can live in it. There is no need to discuss this matter again. The younger brother's intention has been decided. Only the sixth brother will follow the lead. If you violate this oath, you will be punished." Heaven and earth will be destroyed!" Li Xian's face was serious, pointing to the sky with one hand, and comparing the earth with the other, swearing to show his attitude.

"Seventh brother, this... this is how you can afford to be a brother. If you get the position in the future, you will definitely not forget the merits of the sixth brother. If you violate this oath, you will be called a brother!"

At this point, Li Xian had completely believed in Li Xian's sincerity. He was so excited that he couldn't contain himself. He raised his right hand tremblingly, and swore a lot.

"My younger brother can trust the words of the sixth brother, but in the current situation, if the sixth brother wants to succeed in the position, there are still many obstacles. If you are not careful, you may have the disaster of Tai Ah's upside down. Please be careful with the sixth brother." Then one."

From Li Xian's point of view, the oath thing is a fart, and it is useless at all. If Li Xian ascends the throne, Li Xian is probably the first person who will have the surgery. It was as clear as a mirror, but Li Xian didn't care at all, because he knew very well that Li Xian would never reach the day when he ascended the throne, and he was just a victim of Empress Wu's ambition, so he was too lazy to follow Li Xian cares a lot, of course, if there is a reminder, Li Xian will not keep silent, so he said something to wake him up.

"Ah, this, where did this start?"

Now that Li Xian has been dealt with, in Li Xian's view, everything is settled, and he is dreaming of entering the East Palace. When Li Xian said this, it was like cold water poured on his head, and his heart went cold. In the middle of it, he looked at Li Xian with a face full of surprise, and he didn't understand what Li Xian was talking about.
