Li Hongyuan left the palace without getting into the carriage. He came out today just to show off. Regardless of whether he needed it or not, Eunuch Mu was very considerate and asked the guards to bring his BMW. Sure enough, Li Hongyuan took the reins and patted the horse's neck. This reddish-brown BMW has shiny hair and no impurities. Color, fat and strong, with slender and powerful limbs, because of Li Hongyuan's movements, he gently slapped his nose twice, and rubbed his head sideways on his arm. Facing this horse that has been raised for several years, Li Hongyuan rarely showed a hint of tenderness, "I haven't let you run well for a long time, and today I will let you run happily."
As soon as Eunuch Mu heard this, he knew that the master was about to make a fool of himself again, so let the city defense team get ready sooner.
Li Hongyuan simply turned over and mounted his horse quickly, so unrestrained that he couldn't tell that he was actually injured.
He said that he was running horses, but he did not restrain himself at all. He let BMW let go and run wildly. As his guard, he naturally had to follow him. Therefore, even if he knew that he would probably go to the Jingzhao Mansion for a few days after the incident, it was still hard. On the scalp, following such a master, he should have had the consciousness to be put in jail long ago.
The master is gone, so the guard of honor can only go home empty-handed.
To say that Li Hongyuan's riding skills can't be said, what kind of road has he not run on the battlefield for several years in his previous life? Even in the downtown area, he is confident that he will not bump into anyone, let alone the surrounding of the palace, where there are many streets You will meet an ordinary commoner. However, under normal circumstances, there are fewer people and fewer people. Once someone appears, it is basically a group. Even ordinary officials have three or five servants, and it goes without saying that they are similar to Li Hongyuan. identity person.
Li Hongyuan didn't see the oncoming Prince Kang's guard of honor, let alone the horse slowed down, he even accelerated, and charged straight towards the carriage. The groom was so frightened that he subconsciously tightened With the reins on the left, the horse pulling the cart naturally deflected to the left, and the horses seemed to be frightened. Suddenly, the carriage swayed and almost overturned, while Li Hongyuan rode his horse from the right side of the carriage. Scratching the car and whizzing past, the guards behind him chased furiously.
The dignified and solemn prince's guard of honor was scattered like this, and there was chaos.
Li Hongyi was hit several times in the carriage, and he was naturally furious. When the carriage finally stabilized, he let go of the hand that grabbed the crossbar inside the carriage, got up furiously, and suddenly opened the curtain, "Who is it? The leopard dares to ram into this king's car? Who, who is it?" I didn't see the culprit, "A bunch of trash, so many people can't keep each other, what's the use of this king raising you?"
Everyone hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty.
"Master is angry, yes..."
Prince Kang, waiting for them to explain, jumped off the carriage and kicked away a person nearby, "Trash, who is it?"
"Master, it's Prince Jin." Prince Kang's valet did not dare to hesitate at all, and said in a quivering voice, for fear that he would anger him if he spoke too slowly, but this answer may also detonate the master's anger tenfold. , but dare not lie.
Sure enough, at that moment, Li Hongyi's face was a black-bottomed pot. Because of the force, blue veins throbbed on the back of his hands, neck and even his forehead. "Li Hongyuan, Li Hongyuan..." It squeezed out from the gap between his teeth, and he really wanted to eat his flesh. Its blood chewed through his bones. "Go back and give this king fifty lashes each. Let's go..."
No matter how angry you are, no matter how much you hate, you can't do anything to him, it's not that you don't dare, it's that you can't, because if you endure it, it may be over. If you fight back, the bastard will be like a mad dog, biting If you don't let it go, the final result will only alarm the father and emperor, and it will never be his Li Hongyuan who suffers in the end. This is the most embarrassing thing.
When the prince learned that Emperor Lecheng was in the Jade Palace, he went directly to the Queen's Kunyi Palace.
The graceful and gracious Empress raised her eyebrows unhappily when she saw Li Hongyi. Although her son was a little reckless and impulsive at times, he was not so disrespectful. His current appearance, in a serious way, was a disgrace. instrument. "What's the matter?"
Prince Kang's anger naturally did not calm down so quickly, and he said what happened just now in a rage.
The queen was silent for a few breaths, but other than that, there was no other reaction, "It's not the first time, you've been like this every time, even if you're angry with yourself, he still lives at ease, There's no damage at all. Come on, stop now, you see this kind of headache for this palace, and if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, it's just like being bitten by a dog. If a dog bites you, you can't think about biting back. go back."
Li Hongyi thought to himself: The dog will naturally not bite back, but chop it directly.
This anger could not be easily dissipated, but Li Hongyi did not dare to disobey his mother, so he could only suppress it with all his strength.
The queen glanced at him lightly, "It's useless to care about too much now, as long as you can become the final winner, no amount of humiliation can be made up tenfold, and now it's okay to make him complacent. What the mother wants It's just the final result, and in the process, there are some things that have nothing to do with the overall situation, even if Li Hongyuan stepped on his head and shit, he would endure it."
"Empress mother, your mother is the queen of the world, why do you have to do this."
"I know why the queen mother is clearly not favored by your father, and still sits firmly in the position of the queen? Because the queen mother can bear it, can bear your father, can bear the noble concubine Su, and can bear all the concubines in the harem." The queen said here, suddenly After a pause, or thinking of something, I said more, "The Dingguo Gongfu is so powerful that the reason why it did not fall to the situation of Wu'an Houfu is not that the emperors of several generations have been very kind to the Dingguo Gongfu, but because Behind Dingguo Gongfu is an aristocratic family with a profound background. The entire Sun family is intertwined, and it is not easy to uproot it.
The Dingguo Gongfu has come to this stage, and there is no way to retreat. If you retreat, it is not just that your uncle and others are not willing to give up this dreadful wealth, but that once they retire, they will become the next Marquis of Wu'an. The bigger you are, the more your father and emperor will be afraid, but only when you have the power can you keep the Dingguo Gongfu.
Your royal father will not let the Ben Gong family dominate, and at the same time, he will not let the Su family control the harem. In the harem, he also needs balance. This is another reason why the mother sits firmly in the rear position.
Everyone in the world thinks that Ben Gong and the Su Clan are fighting to the death, and they are on the same level. There will be times when you are tired of fighting back and forth, but when you have hardly stopped for more than 20 years, why do you think it is? Because your father wants us to fight, don't think that our fight will make him angry. In fact, the more fierce the fight, the more stable his heart will be. If one day the mother doesn't want to fight, she will probably go to the cold palace. "
Prince Kang listened to the Queen's words lightly, but he could also imagine the various hardships involved. Li Hongyi's lips were squirming, but he didn't say anything in the end, and it was useless to say more about some things. "Empress mother, what about Li Hongyuan, why did the royal father condone him like this?"
"Naturally it's because of his biological mother, the imperial concubine of the year, the real splendid crown, the most beautiful woman in the world, the status of that woman in your father's heart is far less than that of all the women in the harem combined, and the Su family can favor the crown. After so many years in the harem, it seems that there is no element of that woman in it."
"How did she die?"
"It is said to be dystocia."
"It is said?" The word is so subtle.
The queen nodded noncommittally.
In this way, there is probably a problem here, "The emperor's condoning of the lucky sixth brother has no bottom line, then, our other brothers are fighting each other, will the emperor directly pass the throne to him in the end? All of us Everyone is the target that the emperor set him up?" Thinking of this possibility, Li Hongyi's hostility was stronger than Li Hongyuan's.
"The emperor thinks too much. A powerless emperor, why does he sit on the throne? To be a 'one-day emperor' that is hard to come by in the ages?"
"If the father has that idea, he will naturally pave the way for him."
"Pave the road? How to pave it? Kill his other sons and the people behind them? Don't say whether your father has such courage, even if he really dares to do that, how many people do you think will be left in the end? At the same time, it must be I'm afraid that it will cause chaos in the discussion..." The unfinished words were spoken without words.
"Obviously not, can't we train people secretly?"
The queen glanced at her son, and for a while, Li Hongyi's face was hot. Although her mother didn't say anything, her eyes were clearly looking at "idiots". "It's not that this palace looks down on your father, your father... It is still possible to cultivate a few people secretly, and it is possible to cultivate people who can support the entire court and the entire Qiyuan Dynasty..." The queen smiled, and there was even a hint in that smile. With some disdain and contempt.
The queen's smile made Li Hongyi shudder. He knew that his mother was very powerful, and he knew better. If it wasn't for his mother's advice, he would not be Li Hongming's opponent at all. It would be difficult to admit that he was inferior to others. Li Hongyi is not really arrogant and has no self-knowledge. For example, many times, he is like a marionette in the hands of his mother. He does not know whether he will be the one who will let the queen mother "drape the curtain" when he ascends the throne one day. The puppet of listening to the government.
Li Hongyi's unpredictable complexion, the queen seemed to have not seen it. "Before you entered the palace, this palace received news that your sixth brother played a game with your father emperor in the Jade Palace, and your father emperor finally failed miserably when he gave in to the two sons."
Li Hongyi suddenly looked up at the queen, unbelievable. He has never won a game of chess.
"Your sixth brother has never been a fool. On the contrary, he has been very smart since he was a child. He knows how to protect himself in the best way. He knows very well that if he is sharp, he may have died long ago. You should be lucky, he It seems that he is on your third brother's side, but in fact he is not on his side. If he really helps your third brother wholeheartedly, your current power will be reduced by at least one third. Therefore, Huang'er When forbearance, be patient, don't force him to the opponent's side, the only one who suffers will be yourself."
"The queen mother said, Li... Sixth brother is hiding? Does he also have ambitions for the throne?"
"Emperor, do you have to say those two words from the mother? Stupid."
Li Hongyi was beaten by the queen and his face turned pale.
"Maybe there is ambition. As a prince, not many will think about that chair badly. It's just because of some reasons such as the time of birth. There are big and small ambitions. Your sixth brother gave up school since he was a child. He didn't learn a lot of things that should be learned. This is not something that can be made up for by being smart. For so many years, he has long been used to extravagance and debauchery. Let him work hard, and without the help of outsiders, how much possibility do you think it is possible? At least? So far, he has not become anyone's opponent, you don't need to ask for the time being, any situation with him will naturally be watched by someone from this palace, you just do what you should do."
"My son understands." Afterwards, Li Hongyi hesitated, as if he had something difficult to say.
"Man, man, you should be decisive when you speak and do things. If you have something to say, you should say something, and do something hesitantly."
"Isn't it bad for the imperial concubine back then? I haven't seen a person from his grandfather's family for so many years."
"At least nine out of ten people in the world think so, but it's not true. The woman is actually from the Pei family of the first aristocratic family in Jiangnan and is the direct daughter. As we all know, the Pei family is loyal to the previous royal family. When the Li family seized the country and changed the dynasty, the Pei family did not want to be loyal to the new master, so they all quit the court and returned to the south of the Yangtze River. Because the influence of the Pei family was very important at that time, if the entire family of the Pei family was wiped out, it would probably cause many people to serve the emperor. People turned against the water and directly cut off the possibility of Taizu's enthronement as emperor, or perhaps it was Taizu, in order to show his benevolence, that the Pei family had to leave with all their tails and issued an imperial decree, unless the Pei family rebelled It's a big sin, otherwise, Emperor Li will not be able to embarrass the Pei family.
In this way, the Pei family will naturally not allow the clansmen to have a relationship with the Li family's royal family. There has been no room for relaxation for nearly a hundred years. Besides, the Pei family still has the family rule that the direct daughter is not a concubine. The Pei family's daughter is with you. The father and the emperor fell in love. At that time, your father was still a prince, and it happened to be an errand in the south of the Yangtze River. This incident was very violent. Your father emperor was almost demoted by the previous emperor to a commoner, and he had no relationship with the emperor. In the end, the daughter of the Pei family was excommunicated by the Pei family. It was claimed that the daughter of the Pei family died violently, and the daughter of the Pei family changed her name. The surname came to the capital alone with your father, and after hiding for three years, she entered the palace as a concubine with a different identity. Imperial concubine. "
"Since the royal father cares about Pei's daughter so much, according to common sense, he will pass the throne to the sixth younger brother. He should take the sixth younger brother with him since he was a child, and teach him well instead of giving it to Su Guifei to raise him. Just paving the way for the throne of the sixth younger brother, with the full support of the father and the emperor, I believe that many people will be willing to support Li Hongyuan, not the current situation. My son thinks that this is bound to have another secret."
"If the identity of Pei's daughter is the royal secret, what you are talking about is the secret of the secret, and the mother doesn't know it."
"Mother, if you want to check it out, it might be of great benefit to us."
"Emperor, if you can find out, after so many years, the mother and queen have already checked it out, and she will wait until now. The imperial concubine of the year died of a bloody collapse, and all the palace servants who served her were angered by your father, and they were all killed by the cane. In the funeral, many other people were also implicated in their deaths. Now, the only one who knows the truth is the Su family, except for your royal father. From then on, that woman is a taboo for your royal father. If you don't want to die, don't touch it easily. - What's the matter with you coming in the palace?" After talking for a long time, the queen asked him "what's the matter", obviously not wanting to continue to entangle this matter.
"I learned that the sixth brother entered the palace, thinking that he was mostly trying to settle the marriage with his cousin, and I wanted to know what the result was."
"Ben Gong doesn't know that Huang'er, you are so idle?"
"Does the queen mother feel that this matter is not important?" Because of this, he has not felt very at ease these days, but does the mother-in-law not care at all
"Then this palace asks you, what's so important about this matter? Your cousin's disfigurement has become an established fact, and the original value is still there. After marrying your sixth brother, it has become a complete waste. It's the same for everyone. Whether your sixth brother compromises or mixes it up, what's the difference? Or, if he mixes it up, your cousin can still have a good relationship as your uncle wishes to add to you. A help?"
Li Hongyi opened his mouth, speechless. "... Did the sixth brother compromise, or did the emperor compromise? It's better for the son to prepare a congratulatory gift for the sixth brother in advance, right?"
"Such a good mother and concubine of the Su family, she has long hoped that her son could have someone to take care of her. Although Yijia is disfigured, other than that, she is basically impeccable. Even if your sixth brother dislikes her, let her Cover your face, what's wrong with being a servant, and you can take care of the Prince Jin's mansion and deal with the outside world."
Li Hongyi understood that with Concubine Su, his good sixth brother would compromise. "Sixth brother has always been a good thing that can't be seen, and his wedding ceremony is really a bit embarrassing."
"Okay, the mother will prepare it for you, so you don't have to worry about it."
"So, my son, thank my mother."
Empress Sun waved her hand and asked him to spend more time on errands, learn more about things he didn't understand, and ask more questions.
Not long after Prince Kang left the Kunyi Palace, he met Prince Rui who was also preparing to leave the palace.
The two mortal enemies exchanged greetings with each other, tit for tat and showed a full "brother, brother and brother". A few days ago, they wanted to win over the fourth child to join forces with themselves to solve each other first, but they didn't expect it. Both of them just thought Only when they succeeded and were complacent did they realize that they were simultaneously cheated by the fourth child.
Then, just after leaving the palace gate, they got the news separately that their good sixth brother went on a rampage in the city, took a few whips from the noble family, damaged a lot of things, and let his group of close guards enter. Jingzhao Mansion went to prison, and went to Dingguo Gong Mansion alone. This is not the end, the main reason is that he went straight to Sun Yijia regardless of the obstacles. Sun Yijia was in his own courtyard and inner house.
Li Hongyuan was out of breath, and directly turned his anger on Sun Yijia? Oh, stop joking, it's just because—Master, Miss Luo went to Duke Dingguo's mansion.
