The pride of heaven

King Shun's Mansion

"Brother Huang, how could you be so elegant today that you invited me to visit the garden?" Li Junhao yelled carelessly in the back garden of King Shun's mansion with his usual appearance of the second generation ancestor.

Li Junshun waved away his attendants, poured a glass of wine for his younger brother himself, and said with a smile, "We haven't seen each other for a long time. By coincidence, a hundred flowers bloom in the garden recently. It's really beautiful. So I invite Brother Hao to come and have a look, and contact us for brotherhood." .”

Brotherhood, huh, huh, don't let people laugh their teeth out, this poisonous snake must be playing some crooked ideas again, this man is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he has never been in the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Li Junhao really wants to give him Bai Yan just waved his hands and left, but he couldn't, people couldn't help themselves at the palace gate, even if they didn't like it, they had to socialize, Li Junhao adjusted his mentality instantly, and smiled regretfully: "What the emperor said is very true, our brother is We should meet more often to connect with each other, but it's a pity that big brother is not here."

"That's right. The prince went out and marched hard. Fortunately, he was accompanied by the princess along the way. It's a blessing." Li Junshun raised his eyes to look at Li Junhao, and smiled narrowly. The temptation is exposed.

These days Li Junhao is in a depressed mood, often drinking alone in the palace.When Li Junran first set out to fight, he thought that his elder brother and Jue'er were still newly married, and his elder brother was away on the expedition, and Jue'er was guarding the East Palace alone, so he must be lonely and empty. Boring, his eldest brother is not here, he takes care of him, so naturally others are blameless.Jue'er's marriage to his eldest brother was forced by circumstances, not out of true love. At that time, he held a glimmer of hope in his heart, maybe he still had a chance.

But after visiting the door several times, the servants of the mansion concocted various reasons to evade him, no matter how mischievous he was, he still refused to let anyone see him.Soon there was news that the Crown Princess was captured at the border. At that time, he was anxious about Jue'er's safety, and he almost asked for orders to go to the battlefield with Emperor Xiaowen. How could he be captured in Yongliang?That's because he went to the battlefield from the very beginning, and then all kinds of news came like snowflakes, which made Li Junhao realize the fact that his brother and Jue'er are in love with each other.

The endless changes on Li Junhao's face were captured by Li Junshun's eyes, and he sighed in his heart that this kid is really a kind of love, but it's a pity that he gave his heart to the wrong person, and he couldn't ask for it after all, brother, why not let brother Wei come to help you.

After taking a sip of the wine, Li Junshun patted his younger brother on the shoulder, sighed and said, "Oh, brother Sanhuang is a man of excellence, but unfortunately, the prince took the opportunity to get a beautiful woman because of bad times. I'm not worth it for you. Ah~"

"Why did the second emperor say that? The eldest brother and husband are congenial..."

Before Li Junhao could finish his sentence, Li Junshun stopped him: "You and I don't need to see each other, I can see that the third brother has no intentions towards Qi Mingjue, if he is not the crown prince, Qi Mingjue would not be his, father The emperor's favorite prince is you, he is just taking advantage of his son."

Li Junhao pursed his lips and did not refute, his eyes flickered, and he poured down two glasses of wine. Li Junshun was sure that his younger brother would not refuse, so he narrated his plan and invited his younger brother to participate in the grand event on the grounds of King Qin.

That day Li Junhao was in a trance, confused, he didn't know how much he drank, and he didn't know how he got back to the palace, and then he shut himself in the room without going out.

Within a day, Emperor Xiaowen got the news that his beloved son was eager, and ordered someone to bring stew to visit.

"Finally, my painstaking efforts were not in vain." After reading the note that Fu Lu handed over, Emperor Xiaowen was very pleased.

Fu Lu took the note from Emperor Xiaowen, put it into the small burning incense burner on the table, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is too worried. Although the third prince is playful, he is smart and filial. Naturally, You can distinguish right from wrong, understand the seriousness, and you won't do such stupid things."

"Is it really because I worry too much? If I worry too much, what's the matter with Shun'er? Who in the emperor's house wouldn't think about it." Emperor Xiaowen looked out the window and said to himself helplessly, Fu Lu lowered his head and stood quietly on the side.

As soon as Li Junhao stepped into King Shun's mansion that day, Emperor Xiaowen got the news. He waited quietly for his son's decision, but fortunately, San'er did not disappoint him.

The next day, Emperor Xiaowen ordered someone to bring supplements again, and in the same way, he also put a note in the food box. Li Junhao looked at the note, his eyes became clear, and the worries on his face dissipated.

The palace is the most shining place, but it is also the darkest place. Power makes people corrupt, greed is like maggots attached to the bones, corroding people's hearts, and it will never go away. Li Junhao has no intention of getting involved in it, but he is involved in the center of the whirlpool. Being stupid for so many years is nothing more than wanting to protect himself wisely and stay away from the battlefield of power struggle.

He could see clearly that the emperor's father only had one favorite son, but he was not him. If the emperor really loved him, he would not have been the target of public criticism. He was just a shield to confuse the public.

Li Junshun is right in saying that the crown prince is just taking advantage of his heir. His elder brother is the most beloved son of Emperor Xiaowen. He has a father-son affection for him, but that must be under the condition that he is not in the way of his elder brother. Now that he cannot avoid it, then he can only keep himself by clearly expressing his position.

Vipers have grass in their mouths, and scorpions have needles in their tails.His second brother is a poisonous snake with a sweet belly and a sword, forming an alliance, hehe, it sounds nice, if he really helps Li Junshun to rebel, he will be the scapegoat if he fails, and he will be the grasshopper after autumn, Li Junshun It's just to use him and the family behind him.

The most unbelievable one is the man in the palace gate, who went to see his father in person to deliver news to his father. Before he arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Li Junshun's people probably took care of him, but his father sent someone to visit him, which gave him a quiet An opportunity to deliver a message silently.

Li Junhao's heart fell to the ground. In the study, he quietly admired the scroll in his hand. In the painting, Qi Mingjue was looking into the distance in the wind. This was the figure that Li Junhao caught a glimpse during the New Year's Eve, which made him fall in love at first sight. He refused to call her sister-in-law, because if he called her like that, it would remind him that this man is his elder brother's wife, and he would never have another chance. .

There are three sufferings in the world, not getting what you want, meeting resentment and hating, and parting from love. Since a beautiful woman is ruthless, why bother to be persistent, it is better to let go than to trap yourself. He rolled up the scroll, put it in a dark compartment, and sealed it in his heart.

"Your Highness, news from Biezhuang."

Li Junran took the letter from Fei Nu in Qin Feng's hand, and was not in a hurry to open it. Instead, he poured a red potion into the bamboo tube. The letter paper in the bamboo tube was written by Tang Yin's special potion, which was colorless and tasteless. But it is highly poisonous, and only by using his unique antidote can the poison be detoxified, and the handwriting can be displayed. Li Junran took out the letter paper only when the potion in the bamboo tube turned blue. Li Junran glanced at all the words in the letter. Yan Yan raised the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "They have shot at Hao'er, but they are destined to return without success."

Tang Yin nodded and said in relief: "However, the young is indeed the blue one, and the strategy is definitely not inferior to the emperor and your adoptive father. If there is no strategy left, the historian is doomed to fail this time."
