Haiyan

Western Han Dynasty, Hall of Eternal Life.

The entire hall was in chaos at this moment, and the officials from all walks of life were yelling one after another, and they didn't see that the face of the leader sitting on the dragon chair was completely livid at this moment.

Li Zongyao stood at the forefront on the left side with his hands down, facing the red-faced officials behind him who were arguing about the disappearance of the prince of Beilu. Flicking the memorial at hand, he shouted: "Enough!"

In an instant, the folds raised on the Longan were scattered all over the ground, and the hall became quiet for an instant. The bloated Eunuch Huang hurriedly led a few young eunuchs to pick up the folds on the ground. Layue Bingshuang's voice sounded slowly: "I asked you to come here for an idea, not for arguing! A bunch of bastards who only know how to fight in the nest, I don't raise these wastes in the Western Han Dynasty!"

As soon as the voice fell, the hall was silent for a long time, and no one dared to speak up.

Zhao Che said with a gloomy face: "Why are you not talking anymore! Didn't everyone just talk loudly and turn the world upside down, and when I asked about serious matters, they all started to pretend to be deaf?!... .. Mr. Li, tell me!"

Li Zongyao seemed to have guessed that the emperor would stop him a long time ago, and said without changing his face: "I think that the news of the missing son should be reported to the majesty of the Northern Land as soon as possible. That lion in Hokuriku won't let it go."

Zhao Che narrowed his eyes when he heard the words, his face, which was already full of fine lines at the corners of his eyes due to aging, looked even older at this moment, and said in a deep voice: "What did you say?...Li Gong, I What do you think, don't you know in your heart?"

Li Zongyao couldn't help suppressing his heartbeat, and said calmly: "I dare not speculate on your majesty's thoughts, but the disappearance of the son is of great importance. If someone with ulterior motives makes a fuss about it, I'm afraid ..."

Zhao Che let out a heavy cold snort from the depth of his nose: "You don't dare to speculate on my thoughts, but I know yours very clearly!"

The emperor glared at the man who was not running on the same front as him in the Yebei incident, then turned his head to look at Li Daoyuan, who was headed on the right, and said, "Prime Minister, tell me."

Li Daoyuan has always followed the emperor's lead, especially when it comes to dealing with Hokuriku. From the very beginning, he strongly supported the emperor's sending troops to conquer Hokuriku. Therefore, the emperor ordered him to find the son of Hokuriku who poisoned him a few days ago. It was done by someone, but I didn't expect that the son was obviously dead, but suddenly there was news of his disappearance, which really made people a little shocked and puzzled.

Almost without thinking, Li Daoyuan stepped forward and said: "I think that there is no need to rush to report the disappearance of the son to Ming Yebei. If we can't find it, we can ask the important people in Yebei, and they say that the prince came to the Western Han Dynasty to be restless, and wanted to go back to Beilu several times to break the covenant between our two countries. It has nothing to do with us to pick up the son by trickery, in short, they violated the grassland first..."

After Zhao Che heard it, there was a trace of appreciation in his eyes calmly, but he pretended to be a little embarrassed. After all, they wanted to get rid of the Hokuriku prince directly at the beginning, and then caused the disappearance to directly tear their face with the grassland. In order to achieve his goal of occupying the north, the disappearance of the son for no reason suits his wishes. As for whether he is dead or not, it is not so important now.

The emperor was about to continue to ask questions, but Li Zongyao suddenly said from the side: "The prime minister's words are a bit of framing. The grassland has always treated us with courtesy in the Western Han Dynasty, and he did not hesitate to let the future majesty come to our country as a hostage." In order to show the importance we attach to the friendship between our two countries, isn't the prime minister's slander now trying to force Ye Bei to send troops!"

Li Daoyuan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. I am just thinking about the Wang Ting. No one knows where the son of Beilu is now. I am just expressing the speculation in my heart. Besides, Who knows if the disappearance of the son is really related to their Beilu?"

Li Zongyao sighed, and said in his heart: "If you didn't want to kill Yin Kang with all your heart, why would I want to get involved in it?"

He said: "If the prime minister has no evidence, don't put this charge on others at will!"

Li Daoyuan said: "Then, what evidence does the Taiwei have to prove that this matter has nothing to do with Hokuriku?"

Li Zongyao didn't say a word - what should come will always come, no matter whether he rescued Yin Kang or not, the Western Han Dynasty's relationship with Yebei has become a firm fact.

Sure enough, Li Daoyuan bowed his head and said loudly: "Your Majesty, according to Chen's opinion, the disappearance of the grassland prince is not without warning. A few days ago, I heard that the correspondence between the grassland and the prince is very frequent, so I have to doubt the relationship between this matter and the prairie. I dare to guess that the lord of the prairie has obvious ambitions. He secretly took the son back to destroy the covenant between our two countries. His heart is to be punished. Please order your majesty to send troops to the north as soon as possible. Take all the shame of the Western Han Dynasty!"

With the sound of "Boom", another commotion erupted in the hall. The officials didn't understand how the situation had progressed to the point where they were about to send troops to the north, but only the man on the dragon chair gave a faint compliment to Li Daoyuan.

In the hall, apart from Prime Minister Li Daoyuan, the other four clansmen - Taiwei Li Zongyao, Yushi doctor Sima Yu, Fengchang Gong Yunqiu and Gengshi General Liang Guoying were silent and did not speak.

Many objectors have already stood up to speak out, and there was a quarrel in the court hall for about a stick of incense, and finally the emperor waved his hand and firmly pressed them down.

"The prime minister is right. I have always believed that I have done the utmost in my relationship with the north in the Western Han Dynasty. Now that the son of the grassland has escaped privately, it can be seen that Beilu's ambition is unpredictable. If he is ignored, what will happen... Have you all forgotten the scene when Yinshou, king of Tierqin, ruled the Nine Kingdoms in the Spring and Autumn Period! The blood of the Yin family is the blood of a lion, the descendant of a ferocious beast...Everyone, I dare not take it lightly!"

A burst of sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance came from not far away, mixed with a faint fruity fragrance, Li Su glanced at Chang Sheng slightly, and found that the latter was also staring at him with strange eyes.

Li Su: "..."

The farther you go, the wider your field of vision becomes, and the light becomes brighter and brighter. After a while, Li Su's steps became slower and slower until he gradually stopped.

"This..." Chang Sheng couldn't help muttering while looking at the scene in front of him.

Large areas of goose-yellow sweet-scented osmanthus are in full bloom, and there are more or less fruit trees mixed in during the period. Those fruits have not been picked for many years, so that they fall to the ground after they are ripe, and year after year, after petrification, even the underfoot The soil exudes a strong and nauseating aroma.

"Gulu" made a soft sound, both Chang Sheng and Li Su were taken aback, then the former pinched his nose in embarrassment, and whispered in Li Su's ear: "It's okay, I'm just a little hungry, just a little ,real."

Li Su suppressed his doubts in his heart, and walked forward on the messy and soft ground. Then, he held Chang Sheng's butt with one hand behind him to prevent him from falling off his back. He raised it high, and picked off a glowing red fruit.

"This... is it edible?" Chang Sheng asked, but couldn't help swallowing, only to see that Li Su suddenly put the red fruit on the tip of his nose, smelled it, and then bit it lightly go down.

"Eatable." He said.

Feeling relieved, Changsheng reached out to pick it up, but was stopped by Li Su, "I'll eat first, and you can eat after eating."

Chang Sheng was angry: "Hey, why are you like this! I won't grab so much from you!"

Li Su ate slowly, without explaining anything.

Chang Sheng only felt that his chest was pressed against his back. He was too hungry at first but had no strength. Now that he saw this sudden "feast", how could he resist it? I forgot about the injury on my back.

He struggled and was about to jump off Li Su's back, but the young man held him tight and didn't let go, Chang Sheng became anxious and said fiercely: "I said you..."

"You can eat it, here." Li Su passed the fruit he had eaten a few mouthfuls over his shoulder to Chang Sheng's eyes: "But you can only eat what I have eaten."

"&*...%￥￥#...Why!"

Li Su's face was uncertain for a long while, and then he struggled to utter a few words: ... This way I can be sure whether it is poisonous or not. "

Chang Sheng: "..."

The two of them were speechless for a while, and Chang Sheng stopped making trouble. He obediently ate the wild fruits Li Su handed him, feeling a little uncomfortable. "This kind of thing has been done, so he secretly swore that when the two of them go out, he will make Li Su the most beautiful boy on the grassland!"

Although he is already the prettiest boy on the prairie——Chang Sheng thought.

"It seems that there is still a way ahead."

Li Su limped through the flower forest with Changsheng on his back. After a while, a small wooden door appeared in front of his eyes. With all the strength, there was a soft "squeak", and the heavy and desolate voice that had been baptized by the years was accompanied by thick dust and a bone-chilling chill, rushing towards the two of them in an instant.

"Cough cough..."

Changsheng was choked by the dust that had accumulated for hundreds of years and almost fell off Li Su's body, and then the darkness came out of it with a cold air, Changsheng couldn't help shivering, and asked: "What's the matter?" what is the place?"

Li Su said hoarsely: "I don't know, go down and have a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, the clothes on his shoulders tightened obviously, and Li Su tested his head: "En?"

Chang Sheng was embarrassed to express the little fear in his heart, pretending to be calm and said: "What are you doing!"

Li Su chuckled lightly, and secretly said: "I thought you were such a fearless dandy, but you turned out to be a paper tiger." He joked, "Are you scared? Otherwise, wait for me here, and I'll go down and have a look."

Chang Sheng's head shook like a rattle, and Da Yi said lingeringly: "That's no good, how can I leave you alone, I, Yin Shangyu, am not the kind of person who abandons friends!"

Li Su raised his eyebrows and chuckled lightly, then stepped in.
