Li Zhong was very happy. He was happy that he could play in the palm of his hand the prince who was recognized by the Tang Dynasty as an extremely intelligent and brave man.
Looking at Li Hong's eyes that obviously didn't match the smile on his face, Li Zhong said cheerfully: "The fact that you can guess that I am not alone is enough to prove that we are right to be cautious about you, and that we have not exposed any flaws and were continued by you. use."
Li Zhong looked at Helan Minyue on the side and said: "How is it? I said he is difficult to kill, and killing him is definitely not something that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty can do. If Ashinu or Lu Dongzan, If we get those Tian Lei in Taiyi City, we can let him die on the battlefield. Unfortunately, Taiyi City is impregnable under Bai Chun's control. I tried my best to find Tian Lei. "
"Li Zhong, we are all sensible people, so please stop estrangement. You can't find the Tianlei in Taiyi City, and there are no spies of yours. Don't think so." Li Hong interrupted Li Zhong's cover-up words and said coldly. Said coldly.
Li Hong was very lucky. They might think that Tianlei was a very huge thing, right? They never guessed that the powder secretly given to Lu Dongzan could turn into thunder in their mouths if carefully prepared.
And this is not because Li Hong took advantage, but because those products did not come from this era. Otherwise, Li Hong could not imagine what the consequences would be.
Li Zhong was stunned, looking at Li Hong's confident expression. He didn't know where Li Hong's confidence came from.
"Tell me, what is your ultimate goal? In fact, if you don't tell me, I can already guess some of it. Since you are going to die alone and are willing to sacrifice your life in exchange for the result, I am afraid that the result is..." Li Hong was at this moment. He gave up on knowing who the Taiyi City spy was. Only in this way could he slowly sort out the context.
"Yes, my purpose is very simple. Just like me, you can only be a prince for a lifetime, so that you can never touch the throne...ah."
"Well..." Helan Minyue also made a painful sound at the same time.
Li Hong had quick eyes and quick hands. After seeing Li Zhong finish speaking, his cheeks seemed to be trying hard, and he immediately took a step forward and hit Li Zhong and Helan Minyue in the abdomen with his huge fist.
The two of them inadvertently covered their abdomens with painful hands, and bent down in unbearable pain. Their faces were red and even a little distorted due to the pain.
Not far away from the two of them, two black pills were seen spraying out of their mouths just now.
"Li Hong, you... you... how do you know?"
"Nonsense, this pill was the one that poisoned Wang Kang and Wang Jing in the first place. How could I not know? And since you have two pills, where did you get them?" Li Hong showed a real smile on his face and looked at Li Tadashi said.
"Did you put the pills there on purpose?" Li Zhong asked, thinking about how he accidentally overheard his conversation with another person in Taiyi City.
"Well, that's it, because I'm not sure if you have changed, so I tested it. When you just stole the pills, I was still wondering if you were going to keep them in case my father suddenly wanted to If I kill you, you are ready to commit suicide and don't care. But just now you said that your ultimate goal is to make me the prince forever and never be able to sit on the throne. I guess you have the intention to die because you only have death. Only in front of me will the people of the world and my father blame me for your death." Li Hong stretched out his hand to help Helan Minyue.
At this time, Helan Minyue, from the first time she met Li Hong, lost the vigor and domineering power of the past. It seems that she has not been very favored by her father in recent years.
"Do you still want to avenge He Lan Minzhi?" Li Hong asked calmly.
"I can't kill you, but there will always be someone who will avenge me. Just wait. It won't be very late. Even if you return to Chang'an, your position as prince will still be unstable." Helan Minyue Fengqing Wan Zhong's face was filled with coldness.
Heng Qiao hurriedly walked in from outside, holding a secret letter in his hand. He walked quickly to Bai Chun and said, "A letter for me."
Bai Chun frowned a little, there was a secret message so late? But he still reached out and took it. After checking it, he handed it to Li Hong.
"Prince's position? Can't you sit still? Well, that's interesting." Li Hong looked at Helan Minyue and smiled. Although her words were the same as Li Zhong's, they were both talking about his position as prince, but the difference between the two was: one was talking about himself None of them could sit still. One said that he could only be the prince, not the emperor.
Is there any difference? Is there something hidden
Li Hong looked at Li Zhong and used his eyes to stop Helan Minyue from talking too much, lest he find more clues.
He tore open the envelope in his hand nonchalantly, and then opened the letter in public, only to see it clearly written on it: "How did Mr. Shang die?" The signature was Dai Zhide's name!
Silently, he handed the letter to Bai Chun again, then looked at Li Zhong and said, "Do you have anything else to say?"
"You won't kill me. Even if I know something, I won't tell you. You don't know?" Li Zhong didn't care about his life or death at all.
"Knowing your intention, if I kill you, I will definitely be getting further and further away from the throne, and I will also be getting further and further away from the Minister of Shangshu Province. If I don't kill you, you will use Helan Minyue to stage a show of father-emperor and mother-empress. In fact, you still want to anger me and ask me to kill you. There is no need, I have plenty of space in the four towns of Anxi, not to mention that it is my territory. It is enough to accommodate you, Prince Liang. "
"What are you asking about, Father?" A trace of panic flashed across Li Zhong's face. Unless he died, he would not be able to get twice the result with half the effort.
"Brother, the emperor feels that I, Li Hong, have worked hard in the expedition in Anxi. I am willing to transfer to Loulan to serve as the governor and share some of my worries. That's enough. It's very simple." Li Hong said easily.
"You knew already?"
"Has little knowledge."
"What do you mean? How do you know? I didn't tell you anything?" Li Zhong watched Li Hong regain his confident look, and finally a trace of nervousness appeared on his honest face.
"I can't guess who is the mastermind, but your purpose is obviously to overthrow the Tang Dynasty under the rule of my father, but the most likely thing is to overthrow me, the orthodox heir to the throne. And now, if I return to Chang'an , I guess the situation we are facing will be a three-legged confrontation, right? Oh, of course, it is still an unformed three-legged confrontation."
"How on earth did you guess that?"
"I don't know how many people from the Five Surnames and Seven Families are involved in your plan, but don't worry, brother, the Five Surnames and Seven Families will not decline because of my deliberate suppression by Li Hong. It is because the times are developing too fast that they are too late. Make adjustments, so you can retire in the Western Regions with peace of mind," Li Hong said easily.
How did Shang Jun die? The old guy Dai Zhide seems to be of some use. I re-enabled him this time, but I didn't expect that he would get such a generous reward from Dai Zhide.
"How did you guess it?" Li Zhong asked again.
Li Hong actually guessed most of the truth and had already drawn a large circle. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him.
"It's very simple, just these words." Li Hong took the letter in Bai Chun's hand and pointed to the words on it.
"How did Mr. Shang die?" Li Zhong said in surprise. With just these few words, he could guess the power behind him? How can this be!
"Helan Minyue, what are you going to do, or should I help you arrange it? It's hard for you to die now anyway." Li Hong was very relaxed, and the seven words of Dai Zhide helped him solve part of his doubts.
"Humph!" He Lan Minyue turned her head. She couldn't go back to Chang'an City. Even if she did go back, His Majesty would already treat her worse than before. What's more, the relationship between herself and Li Zhong is still unclear.
Li Hong glanced at Bai Chun and said, "Take good care of her and follow us to Anding Xianyang. The tomb of Mrs. Rongguo is there. Let her keep her filial piety. She doesn't care if a few palace maids are looking at her, right?"
Li Hong calmly arranged the affairs for the two of them, then turned around and walked back to the house, preparing to take a nap before dealing with the details of tonight's affairs.
"Oh, by the way, my royal brother took good care of me along the way. Remember not to make any mistakes. Does Bai Chun still remember the place where your father lived? Let your royal brother copy the murals there." Li Hong warned again. After a while, he left without looking back.
Banmei waited for Li Hong to finish his bath, and Li Hong said in a confused manner: "Go and find Shang Yang's "Shang Jun Shu" and "Qin Code", uh... No, look for Shang Yang recorded in the historical books. , how he died, and... "
Li Hong was a little unsure. Did Dai Zhide, an old guy, just remind him, or did he not want him to imitate Shang Yang? Or do you think you will end up like Shang Yang
But one thing is certain, Dai Zhide wrote to himself with seven words: "How did Shang Jun die?" The purpose of writing to himself should be to warn himself that after returning to Chang'an, he should not be too tough, but should be gentle. Do things by means, right
Thinking of this, Li Hong couldn't help but look at the Hengduan Mountains in the southwest. How did this old thing calculate the time accurately
Why did the letter arrive as soon as I got here? Could it be that the old man threw the letter across the Hengduan Mountains and the letter flew over from the Hengduan Mountains
Or is it that the old guy has already thought about writing this letter? Forget it, don’t think about it anymore, these are not the point. The point is, how did Shang Jun die
In a short moment, Li Hong understood from the seven words Dai Zhide just warned him about who the forces behind Li Zhong and the others were!
When he was reincarnated as Sima Jin in his current life, Shang Yang had been dead for more than sixty years, but Da Qin still followed Shang Yang's reform laws.
This is also an important factor that allowed Da Qin to rapidly improve both its agricultural production and military strength, and widen the gap with the other six countries.
In the end, the six kingdoms were wiped out and the world was unified, but they soon perished. It had nothing to do with Lord Shang's transformation, but it seemed to be inextricably linked!
