Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 596 Brothers, Friends and Brothers (2)

The palace is still the same palace without any changes. Even though it has been six years since Li Xian left, the servants who stayed to watch the house dare not slack off. The huge palace has already been tidied up Neat, almost exactly the same as before Li Xian left. If there is any difference, it is that the popularity of the palace is quite lacking, it is a little deserted, and people walk among them, and it feels quite empty, but Li Xian obviously doesn't like it. I didn't care, after sending all the guards to rest, without bringing any entourage, I walked to the study room in the inner courtyard alone.

"My subordinate Zhuang Yong (Luo Tong) sees Your Highness!"

Li Xian's walking speed is not fast, he just walks slowly, but the road in the mansion has an end after all, after a short while, he has already moved into the study room, just turned around the screen, Zhuang Yong and Luo who had already been waiting inside Tong already rushed forward, bowing and paying homage incessantly.

"You don't need to be too polite, just take your seats."

The first time I saw the two confidantes who had been separated for many years, although Li Xian was naturally calm, he couldn't help showing a little excitement, but he didn't say much, he just calmly pressed his hand and signaled to the two of them courtesy.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Although Zhuang and Luo were excited, they didn't dare to be disrespectful, they kept bowing their bodies until Li Xian had already taken his seat, then they thanked Li Xian in unison, and sat down respectively on the left and the right.

"Guyuan has been in Hexi for the past few years, and the affairs of the Eastern Capital have all depended on the two presiding officers. It has been hard work, and Gu is grateful."

Li Xian was not in a hurry to talk about the business, but first bowed his hands as a salute, comforting Zhuang and Luo very warmly.

"I am willing to do the work of a dog and a horse for Your Highness, and I will never die!"

Zhuang and Luo didn't dare to accept Li Xian's gift, they both bowed and bowed their bodies hastily, and said a word of thanks.

"Well, let's talk about the situation of the past two days."

Li Xian didn't say any more nonsense, he raised his hand in vain, motioning for the two of them to get on their feet, then turned serious and turned to the topic.

"His Royal Highness, King Yi returned to the Eastern Capital half a month ago. Except for entering the palace in the morning and evening, he closed the door to thank guests, while the King of Yue received guests every day. Every time he spoke, there were many hints in his words, implying that His Majesty favored King Yi to confuse the officials. In addition, three days ago, Tianhou suddenly issued an edict to set up a temple in the palace to pray for His Majesty. The temple is named Qingfeng, and it is located inside the Tongxun Gate. According to inside information, there are 28 Taoist priests in the temple, the leader is a One-armed old Taoist, claiming to be Qingfeng Venerable, suspected to be Qixia Temple Remnants Qingxu Taoist..."

Li Xian asked, Zhuang Yong, who was at the helm of "Ming Di", did not dare to neglect, bowed his body slightly, and hurriedly reported the important news of the past few days one by one.

Breeze view?Ha ha, that old thief is guilty!As soon as Li Xian heard that Empress Wu set up Qingfeng Guan, Li Xian's heart immediately moved. He had already guessed the intention of Empress Wu's move. He has arranged for young and old followers, but he has no confidence in stopping Li Xian's dominance of the Eastern Palace. He is afraid that one day Li Xian will use his world-leading martial arts skills to break into the inner forbidden area and commit murder, so he cleverly set up a pretext to enlist Qingxu and others. All the remaining evils of Qixia Mountain were arranged in the palace as a precautionary measure. This kind of intention is really too superficial. Li Xian can see through it at a glance, but he doesn't take it seriously, because Li Xian doesn't care about it at all. I didn't intend to act like a villain. If I really want to rebel, why do I need to assassinate? With Li Xian's current strength, how difficult is it to perform the "Xuanwu Gate Change" in an upright manner?If you can't, you really don't want to be an ear.

Li Xian has never been a soft-hearted person, not to mention killing one person to rule the world, even killing thousands or thousands of people, Li Xian will not hesitate at all, the problem is that the price of doing so is too high, no At the last moment of necessity, Li Xian was absolutely unwilling to take this move. The reason is very simple. It is easy to kill people, but it is very difficult to leave no trace. Notorious for thousands of years, it is still necessary to talk about righteousness and fame. Of course, this is not the main factor. What Li Xian really cares about is the stability of the world. Watching from the sidelines, once chaos breaks out, it is very likely that it will spread across the world. Li Xian dare not take this risk lightly, and it is okay to go on steadily. The left and right are just trying to compete for the dominance of the political situation. Li Xian did not lack this level of confidence.

"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness King Yi has arrived outside the gate of the mansion, His Highness, please let me know."

During this period of time, the situation in the court was strange, and naturally there were many things. Rao Zhuang Yong had already picked up important reports, but he had not been able to list all the news one by one in the time for a cup of tea. While talking, I saw a book boy who was waiting outside the study hastily turned in from behind the screen, walked quickly to Li Xian, bowed, and hastened to report.

"Well, wait for me to avoid it for now, I'll just take a look."

Li Xulun's arrival was obviously beyond Li Xian's expectation. It's just that everyone has already arrived. No matter how you say it, it's better to see each other first. In view of this, Li Xian didn't hesitate too much. He just waved his hand and signaled to Zhuang and Luo The two retreated temporarily, but he strode out of the study and rushed to the gate of the mansion... Outside the gate of King Ying's mansion, Li Xulun, dressed in a white fox fur robe, stood quietly at the bottom of the steps, with a calm expression on his face like a crown jade , without any fluctuations, just like a sculpture, but a trace of worry flashed across the eyes from time to time as he looked towards the gate. Obviously, his heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface. In fact, Li Xulun The mood at this moment can only be described by the word "uneasy", for nothing else, just because he actually had a fight with the Seventh Brother who he respected the most in his life, although it was not his intention, but the current situation is like this, This made Li Xulun extremely annoyed, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, his mouth was on someone else's face, and he couldn't stop it at all. It's hard to explain why this happened. It gives people a feeling that there is no 300 taels of silver here, lest Li Xian will be surprised, how can Li Xulun not be worried.

"Little brother has met Seventh Brother."

Just when Li Xulun was lost in his thoughts, he suddenly saw Li Xian striding out of the Prince Ying's mansion. He didn't dare to be negligent, so he put away his thoughts in a hurry, rushed forward a few steps, and met him respectfully. ceremony.

"Eighth brother, you've grown a lot taller after being separated for so many years, um, you've also grown stronger, okay, okay, come on, come with me to the mansion, today you and I should have a good drink."

Looking at the younger brother who seemed to be a handsome young man, Li Xian immediately felt a sense of warmth in his heart, he stepped forward with a smile, helped Li Xulun up, and after exchanging a few greetings, he held his hand, Row up the steps.

"Then my younger brother will be nagging Seventh Brother."

Seeing that Li Xian was the same as before, without the slightest hint of surprise, Li Xulun felt a little more at ease, but he still didn't dare to be completely at ease, and thanked him a little cautiously.

"Don't talk too much. I haven't seen you for many years. Does the eighth brother have to separate from brother Wei? Come on, let's talk in the mansion."

Li Xian was aware of Li Xulun's restraint, but he didn't care, he patted his shoulder with a smile, and then let Li Xulun into the house with a wave of his hand, the two brothers chatted casually and entered the second hall After the guests and the host sat down, the servants served the freshly brewed fragrant tea, and then bowed and retreated, leaving only the two brothers sitting opposite each other in the hall.

"Seventh Brother, have you visited Sixth Brother?"

After all, Li Xulun is a teenager at heart, he can't hide things in his heart, just as the servants retreated, he has already picked out sensitive topics.

"Ah."

The imperial edict and his party were not a very confidential matter, and Li Xian didn't intend to keep it a secret, but before he knew Li Xulun's intentions, Li Xian didn't want to say anything more about it, so he just nodded with a smile.

"Sixth brother, is he alright?"

The relationship between Li Xulun and Li Xian is actually just so-so, but they are blood brothers after all, Li Xulun still has some kind of affection for his elder brother who is in trouble, and he once asked Emperor Gaozong to visit Li Xian, It's just that he couldn't get Gaozong's permission, so he had to give up, but he still cared about Li Xian's safety in his heart. Seeing that Li Xian didn't mean to take offense, he boldly asked.

"not too good."

Although he could feel that Li Xulun's concern for Li Xian didn't seem fake, Li Xian still didn't want to say more, but shook his head slightly, and replied solemnly.

"Ah, oh..."

Seeing Li Xian cherish his words like gold, Li Xulun obviously felt that Li Xian didn't want to say more about this matter, and he couldn't help feeling a little upset, but he didn't dare to say any more. He opened his mouth a few times, but only let out a muffled moan. sigh.

"Why, does the eighth brother want to help the sixth brother?"

The two generations are brothers, and Li Xian is very aware of Li Xulun's temperament of emphasizing family affection. Seeing his depression, he couldn't help but feel a little warmth in his heart. He wanted to help him solve it, so he asked with a smile. .

"As it should be, ah, no, Seventh Brother, I..."

Li Xulun was originally determined to save Li Xian's life, so he answered Li Xian's question naturally, but as soon as the words came out, he suddenly realized that what Li Xian had committed was treason, and he came forward to save him. If you are not careful, you will have to sit continuously, and your heart will inevitably panic, and your head will be lowered, and you will not be able to speak.

"Eighth brother, don't be nervous. Sixth brother is the elder brother of you and me. Although he made a big mistake this time, but brother can't just sit back and watch him die. This is a deal for brother. "

Li Xian's original intention was to save people, but there was no need to hide it from Li Xulun, so he smiled and gave an affirmative answer.

"Ah, really?"

Hearing what Li Xian said, Li Xulun was startled immediately. He suddenly raised his head, looked at Li Xian suspiciously, and asked in disbelief.
