Beginning in mid-March?The curfew will be enforced in the capital. The whole city will be under martial law when the drum beats at midnight.
The situation in the court is treacherous, and the wind is turbulent,? Even the ordinary people in the capital have smelled an unusual atmosphere before the big change. Everyone knows that the capital is about to fall into chaos.
On March 29th, Prince Li Yuanqian committed suicide in Zhao Prison. The news spread that a crowd of princeling officials knelt in front of Emperor Mingde's palace. Crying loudly,? Even more radical speech officials smashed their heads to death on the stone pillars in order to seek righteousness.
The commander of the Imperial Forest Army, Wang Yi, did not dare to act rashly, but led the army to a stalemate.
Chenshi,?The entire palace was surrounded by layers of troops. When Yan Lie appeared in front of this group of civil servants, everyone was shocked. The two generals under the crown prince—Qingzhou Army Wu Qi had already rebelled. However, at such a critical time, he switched to the command of Sima and his son. Zhao Gou, the prime minister of the left, was terrified and furious, and immediately stumbled forward, pointing at Yan Lie's nose and scolding, but was dragged down on the spot. Sergeant Yu came in with a crowd of nobles and relatives, and there was a commotion in the crowd.
Yi Lie's sharp eyes are piercing,? The coercion is invisible, he took a few steps slowly: "If you want to die, I will not let you be lonely, just report your name!"
He waved his hand and shouted: "Listen well, if someone commits suicide, all his family members will be killed!"
All the soldiers shouted together: "Yes!"
"Before noon, those who still stand here making noise will be killed!"
"yes!"
The sound waves broke through the sky, and the birds flew away in shock.
Yi Lie suddenly narrowed his eyes, and looked over one by one, until all the civil servants lowered their heads, and the crowded hall gradually quieted down, only the cries of women and children remained.
At the same time, the Zhenbeihou Mansion was peaceful. In the meeting hall, the three of them were drinking tea silently.
At the middle of the day, a man drove a fast horse from the palace gate to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion in a hurry, and stepped into the meeting hall in two or three steps.
"Master Hou, the prince's henchmen have surrendered."
Sima Ji laughed loudly, his chest trembled. He was beyond the age of knowing his destiny, but his slightly gray temples could not conceal the smugness on his face.
Seeing this, Li Yuanmin stood up and bowed his head respectfully: "Congratulations, Lord Hou."
Sima Ji closed his smile, his eyes were still smiling, as if he recognized his cautious attitude, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Congratulations, Third Highness."
Li Yuanmin smiled knowingly, and filled the empty cup in front of him with tea.
After a stick of incense, Sima Yu and Li Yuanmin bid farewell to Sima Ji, and the two walked out of the conference hall.
Sima Yu lowered his eyes to look at his side face, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Finally, everything went well."
"Yes, that's great." Li Yuanmin smiled and lowered his eyes.
The breeze blew, and a peach petal flew over and landed on Li Yuanmin's shoulder. Sima Yu's heart moved, he raised his hand to pick it up, and gently pulled it in the palm of his hand.
"Play a game of chess with me, okay?"
Li Yuanmin smiled again: "Okay."
Sima Yu's Adam's apple twitched. He felt that the scene in front of him was very beautiful. Under the late spring sun, the people in front of him were standing in front of him alive. It was like many times in his previous life. However, he didn't know anything at that time.
He suddenly remembered the shock and heartache when he saw his bloody corpse in the previous life, and his Adam's apple couldn't help moving. He thought, since he was reborn, he would never miss it again in this life. Hold it tightly in your hand.
A gleam of light flashed across Sima Yu's handsome face.
Light smoke curled up, escaping from the elegant incense burner. There were two people sitting opposite each other in the study room. One was handsome and the other was extraordinarily beautiful.
Sima Yu shook his head and sighed: "I haven't seen you for eight years, but your chess skills have improved a lot."
Li Yuanmin smiled and said nothing.
Seeing his relaxed expression, Sima Yu also relaxed a lot. Thinking of one thing, he calmed down and said in a low voice: "The day after tomorrow... you have a preparation."
He looked cautious, and Li Yuanmin's hand froze slightly, and then let it go again.
"good."
The day after tomorrow is the day when Emperor Mingde died, and it was also the day when Sima and his son helped him to the throne.
Li Yuanmin was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "I want to go to the palace to see him."
Sima Yu frowned: "Ah Min, don't make trivial matters."
Li Yuanmin shook his head, he sighed: "I must meet this face."
He looked up at him: "This is my only condition."
Sima Yu's eyes were deep, and he felt displeased, but in the end he said softly, "Okay."
Li Yuanmin smiled slightly at him.
Seeing Sima Yu, his heart skipped a beat. He held his slender white hand and looked at him with his handsome and affectionate phoenix eyes: "Ah Min, you have to look forward."
You have to look ahead.
Someone once said this sentence to him, but it was different from the sour grievance that time. At this time, his heart was only filled with a cold sneer, but he just lowered his head silently. Answer him sincerely: "I know."
When he came out of the study, Sima Yu chased after him and handed Li Yuanmin a book, which was his favorite travelogue in the previous life.
"Take it back." He said softly.
Li Yuanmin seemed to be pleasantly surprised, and touched it cherishedly: "Thank you."
Ni Ying helped him into the carriage, and the moment the curtain was lowered, Li Yuanmin threw the book in his hand aside as if it was meaningless.
He smiled coldly at the corner of his mouth and closed his eyes.
These days, he got a tip, and Sima Yu finally settled the Lin daughter in a calm manner. Their love in the previous life did not end well, but in this life, their lovers finally got married.
In the previous life, Sima Ji was afraid that his only son would make a mistake because of love, so he used his own hands to get rid of the daughter of the Lin family. Because of this, Sima Yu was even more uncertain for several years, causing him to suffer for a long time. When he wanted to give up, he seemed to be generous and willing to come and go with him, but when he got closer, he was terribly cold. At that time, he was sometimes so happy that he didn’t know what to do, and sometimes he was panicked as if he had fallen into hell .
Li Yuanmin laughed at himself. Even though he was not involved in the world and was domesticated in the previous life, how could he not see Sima Yu's thoughts? It's just that he lacks love too much. A little warmth can make him give everything. Moths are like flying to a flame, so he deceived his heart and continued to live in a lie, otherwise, he would not even find a reason to exist.
Now, that guy is showing such affection and righteousness again, and his methods are a bit more sophisticated than in the previous life. If he hadn't seen through his essence, how could he not be tempted for a while.
Thinking of this, a face with clear lines suddenly flashed in my mind. The man put the evidence collected by the spies in front of him, and said, "Look, this guy is so wicked. He not only stares at you, but also reads What about that woman, I don’t know what you saw in him in the last life!”
Li Yuanmin looked at it, and could only touch his face with a smile: "He only treats me by taking advantage of me, how can there be any real affection, don't worry, I will definitely not follow his way."
"Fool."
Lie heard this, and there was an emotion in Li Yuanmin's eyes that Li Yuanmin couldn't understand. He just said these two words suddenly, and hugged him gently.
Li Yuanmin also hugged his miraculous lover tightly.
It was only now that he realized that the intelligence network in Yan Lie's hands had penetrated everywhere.
In his previous life, after King Chihu ascended the throne, he thoroughly investigated countless officials because he wanted to resettle the former officials, and he also grasped the secrets of many officials in the court. Therefore, many officials have long been out of the sight of Sima and his son. Strongly restrained.
Even on the bright side, Wang Xi, the general manager under the command of Empress Sima, was also controlled by Yan Lie.
It was precisely because of this that he knew the real secret of the prince's fall.
——The man who had had an affair with Concubine Zhao Shu for more than 20 years was not Du Yan, the governor of the patrol battalion, but Sima Ji, Marquis of Zhenbei.
Concubine Zhao Shu was in love with Sima Ji when she was young before entering the palace. Later Emperor Mingde accepted Zhao's daughter as a concubine in order to balance the court, but in the end, with the help of Empress Sima, Concubine Zhao Shu It became a key link for Sima Ji to bring down the prince. I don't know when Sima Ji decided on this step, and I don't know if Concubine Zhao Shu knows the true face of the man who has been entangled for more than 20 years at the last moment.
Really like father, like son.
When Li Yuanmin thought of the father and son, he felt a cold and sticky feeling in his heart, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.
He let out a long breath, and then closed his eyes again.
In the past two days, there have been four or five bloody incidents in the capital. Even though there is a shocking inside story behind it, the incident quickly subsided under heavy suppression.
The Imperial Forest Army changed commanders, and the court personnel were frequently transferred. On the surface, the capital city has become a hall for Sima and his son.
On the first day of April, just like in my previous life, it was a gloomy day.
Li Yuanmin wore white python arrow sleeves, a jade belt around his waist, and a purple gold crown on his head. He looked solemn, and Ni Ying put on a cloak for him.
There was a creak at the door, and Yan Lie walked in with heavy steps.
Seeing this, Ni Ying found an excuse and retreated.
Yi Lie's gaze never left him, and after a long while, he walked over slowly, holding his heart and soul in his arms.
Li Yuanmin Wu Tutu said: "I am like this, will I be too impulsive?"
Yi Lie smiled, did not answer him directly, but said in a low voice: "Wang Xi has replaced everyone in the Qianyuan Palace with my people, I have arranged everything in the palace, you just do what you want .”
Yi Lie patted him on the back as if to appease him: "Go, let's settle it."
So he knew it all. Li Yuanmin closed his eyes and buried his face deeply into his neck.
The magnificent Qianyuan Hall, against the gray sky, looked a little obscure. Li Yuanmin looked at the flamboyant plaque and thought to himself that he hadn't seen his biological father for many years.
Taking a deep breath, he stepped into the hall under the guidance of the Imperial Attendant.
The palace door was pushed open heavily, the hall was quiet, the silver charcoal in the copper furnace inlaid with gold beast head was making a slight sound of beeping, and the faint ambergris lingered around, everything seemed so bright and bright, then Li Yuanmin But there was a smell of decay in it.
He paused, and quickly stepped into the inner hall.
There are no palace servants in the inner hall, only one person lying on the bright yellow dragon bed.
The once high emperor no longer had the majesty of the past at this time, just like an ordinary old man, already in his dying years, with a strange throat sound in his throat, "Water... come... water..."
Li Yuanmin stood there for a moment, poured him a glass of water, and sent it over.
Mingde Emperor's complexion was gray, his cheeks were deeply sunken, he drank a few sips of water with difficulty by Li Yuanmin's hand, and was about to reprimand him for being insensitive, his cloudy eyes were looking at the When his face froze, his chapped and pale lips trembled: "Jiang...Jiang Ji..."
Li Yuanmin looked at him quietly.
Soon, the confusion in Emperor Mingde's eyes disappeared, and his eyes gradually turned cold, turning into the hatred and hatred that Li Yuanmin was familiar with.
"It's... you evil!"
He stared at his very beautiful face, his chest heaved more and more, he hooted, his chest made a sound like a broken bellows, and the foul breath pushed away the ambergris around him.
"You evil!"
Li Yuanmin sighed and put him down. He brushed off the hem of his clothes and stood up, watching the other party struggling in the room with a blank expression.
Emperor Mingde struggled for a long time, and finally pulled the curtain and half sat up. He shouted hoarsely: "Come here! Come here!"
His voice floated in the empty hall, and no one answered him.
Li Yuanmin said: "What does the emperor want to do? Why don't you tell your ministers, and your ministers are willing to do it for you."
Emperor Mingde gritted his teeth: "Get lost!"
He took a deep breath, as if trying his best, and shouted loudly: "Come on!"
What responded to him was still the echo in the empty hall.
Emperor Mingde couldn't hold on any longer, and his whole body went limp.
Looking at his hysterical appearance, Li Yuanmin no longer had the fear of the past in his heart. He walked a few steps closer, with a cold light flashing in his eyes: "Could it be that Father wants to order someone to bring a chastity belt?"
Emperor Mingde was shocked and looked at him in disbelief.
Li Yuanmin's eyes became colder and colder. He took a deep breath and said, "Unfortunately, it's too late."
With intense emotion in his eyes, he suddenly took a few steps forward, grabbed his skinny hand, and pressed it on his slightly protruding belly without any explanation.
"My son has already raised a dragon species."
Emperor Mingde's muddy eyes suddenly opened wide. When he was madly trying to push him, Li Yuanmin had already let go of his hand heavily, and Emperor Mingde fell onto the couch.
"... whose? Sima Yu... or Sima Ji?!"
His eyes were blood red, his whole face was twisted horribly, and he only made a sharp breath: "Who's..."
"You don't have to worry about it, as long as you understand that this child won't be without father and mother like me." Li Yuanmin slowly sat in front of the bed, his face had regained his calm, and he sighed softly: "But ah , I have no father and no mother, how could I be born in this world, but I clearly have no father and no mother like this."
He used to feel that he was too erratic in this world, like a rootless apple, like a rootless water. The world was so big that he couldn't find a place to return to.
Fortunately, he finally found another solitary beast... He finally has a home.
The collapsed Emperor Mingde was so angry that his face turned purple-black on the verge of bursting.
Li Yuanmin sighed and calmed down completely. He said lightly:
"Li Shengyan, you never know what you owe me."
"However, I don't want you to pay it back."
"I hate it."
"I will use the body you gave me and take it myself."
Emperor Mingde let out a strange grunt from his throat, and the last gleam of light in his eyes disappeared, and he froze there in a deformed posture. After a long while, his hands dropped heavily, and he suddenly sat on the couch.
Li Yuanmin sat for a long time, and finally stood up. He didn't even look at the person on the floor, but staggered out of the palace.
Pushing open the gate of the palace, the setting sun broke free from the shackles of the dark clouds and glaringly sprinkled on Li Yuanmin's face. In such infinitely bright sunlight, Li Yuanmin's body swayed.
His throat moved: "Woo..."
The glare of the sun made his eyes full of tears, and Li Yuanmin seemed to finally have an excuse, big tears fell down.
He knelt on the ground, crying heart-rendingly. Wang Xi led a group of eunuchs to rush up, calling him anxiously.
"Your Highness! Your Highness!"
"He's dead." Li Yuanmin wailed, "He's dead!"
Wang Xi's complexion tightened, and he stood up abruptly. He hastily ordered a few words with the people behind him, and more than a dozen people dispersed in an orderly manner.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, a person crouched in front of the Daoyuan Hall for a long time, and the vermilion sunlight stretched his figure very long.
On the first day of April in the twenty-ninth year of Chuwu, Emperor Mingde died. This emperor who had been on the throne for more than 20 years and had no achievements during his reign finally passed his last time.
