Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

As soon as the third prince left Tongzhou, someone broke into his house in Tongzhou. After several searches, they only found some gold, silver and jewelry, as well as a few useless letters.

There were dozens of concubines who were not taken away in the backyard. From the third prince's bedroom, someone came to find a booklet. They thought it was some important account book, but they turned out to be some erotic pictures. The characters in the picture still have prototypes, the visitor shook his head and said nothing, thinking: This third prince is really not afraid of death, the emperor punished him to guard the imperial mausoleum, and he dared to build a lair here.

Stuffing the brochure into his bosom, the visitor thought, it would be good to take it home for fun for the prince, but the prince likes masculinity, so he probably doesn't like such things.

Kou Xiao happened to be there when Li Xu received the news. He touched the thick booklet and thought it might be some important account book or something. Unexpectedly, he turned out a book of erotic pictures. The pictures were lifelike and full of hair. Now, he even saw a nude picture of the third prince.

"Crack!" Li Xu closed the booklet, feeling that his eyes had been greatly polluted, he raised his hand and wanted to throw the booklet into the brazier.

"Don't throw it away." Kou Xiao snatched the booklet and flipped through it several times curiously, while looking at Li Xu, his face turned red.

"What's wrong with you? See what I do?"

"I'm just curious. What's the difference between a man and a man? The postures are similar, but we haven't tried many postures before."

"How dare you!" Li Xu is not a person who can't let go on the bed, but just after seeing other people's nude photos, he really can't think of himself.

"Take it and burn it!" he ordered.

Kou Xiao patted the brochure, with a smirk on the corner of his mouth, "Don't, it's such a good thing, it should be passed on for everyone to see."

Li Xu frowned and asked, "Don't you tell them clearly that we have been to his place?"

"My lord has never been able to find a breakthrough. Finding out where he hides people is not something that can be done in a day or two. Rather than looking for it secretly, it is better to lure the snake out of the hole."

"You mean?" Li Xu's eyes lit up, and he understood what Kou Xiao meant.

"Let them find out that we already knew about their hidden soldiers and horses, and went to find them on purpose. What will the other party do when they know the news?"

Li Xu interjected with a smile: "I will immediately send someone back to see if I have hidden it tightly, or send someone to Tongzhou to find out the king's eyeliner. As long as they do something, we will have a chance."

"That's right, and we have to move quickly, preferably at the same time as the emperor. The third prince has already arrived in the capital, and the prince doesn't have much time."

Li Xu thought for a while, and asked, "Do you think they will attack this king immediately? Isn't it too obvious if you pick this timing?"

Kou Xiao asked in surprise: "Even if the emperor knows, so what? They did nothing wrong, they just pushed the evidence in front of the emperor, maybe the emperor will think they have merit."

"What's going on at Gyeonggi Camp?"

"Su Qizheng solved it. Situ asked more than a dozen family members of the victim to jointly sue him. Even the corpse was dug up. It was indisputable. He couldn't escape death. Mu Ziying was upright and cautious. He couldn't find any flaws for a while. .”

Li Xu walked around the room a few times, looked at Kou Xiao and said, "Find an opportunity to introduce Commander Mu for me, I also want to meet a talent like him."

Kou Xiao put his arms around his waist and asked: "What does the prince see him for? No matter how powerful he is, he can't compare to me."

Li Xu grabbed his head and gave him a deep kiss, then pushed him away, "Hurry up, I'm going to see him today!"

Kou Xiao touched his wet lips, and said with a smile: "My lord has learned how to seduce, it's really not easy!"

Li Xu really wanted to kick him out the door, but before he could do anything, he heard someone running and shouting outside the door: "Is Uncle Kou back?"

The little princess ran in with her skirt, rushed into Kou Xiao's arms and hugged him and asked, "I haven't seen Uncle Kou for a few days, Shu'er misses you."

Kou Xiao's tenderness turned into water, and he finally understood how Li Xu loved his daughter so much, how could he not like such a caring little padded jacket?

He stroked the little princess's hair and found that the jewelry on her bun had never been seen before. He knew that it was a gift from the emperor, so he asked, "Did the princess just come back from the palace?"

"Yes, the imperial grandfather who entered the palace yesterday left me to live in the palace, and watched juggling together at night. Today, the third uncle came, so I left the palace."

The little princess asked the servants to close the door, and said to the two fathers: "Father, Uncle Kou, just now the royal grandfather lost his temper."

"Oh? Why?" Li Xu asked.

"It seems that Uncle Sanhuang did something bad while guarding the imperial mausoleum, and the grandfather found out about it."

Li Xu and Kou Xiao looked at each other, "Could it be that Father already knew about his private recruiting?"

Kou Xiao shook his head, "Probably not. If so, the Third Prince should have been arrested as soon as he entered the city, but he didn't. Our people watched him get into the palace carriage after entering the city."

Li Xu patted Kou Xiao's chest, where the erotic book was hidden, "Could it be because of this?"

"The third prince is eating, drinking, and having fun in Tongzhou. There is no way to hide this matter. The emperor will know it is not surprising." Kou Xiao glanced at Li Xu, who immediately went outside the door and ordered Liu Shu to check the palace. news from here.

Soon, they knew the whole story. It turned out that this time the third prince came back with four or five concubines who couldn't let go, plus the family he had taken away, such a huge family. Unable to hide it, the emperor was furious when he saw someone, and punished the third prince to kneel down to the ancestral temple.

Liu Shu informed Li Xu of the inquiring news, and said: "I heard that the third prince wanted to use his little princess to win the emperor's favor, but the emperor didn't even look at it, saying that he was just a concubine born to a concubine. Daughter, it will be on the jade plate another day, even Mrs. Zhao didn't give the girl a second look."

Li Xu hugged the little princess in his arms, his own child hurts himself, what does it matter if others hurt him or not?

"There is another news. I heard that the third prince has a concubine who is pregnant. The emperor is angry, but he still wants a grandson, so he just knelt down as a punishment." Liu Shu secretly glanced at Kou Xiao, heartbroken. Dao: At the beginning, I should have brought a baby back, even if I acted as the little prince. If there is a little prince, the emperor must be on the prince's side.

"Guarding an imperial mausoleum can produce children. My third younger brother is very powerful, and he is not in Tongzhou most of the time. This efficiency is really fast. It will probably be lively again tomorrow."

There is no shortage of old officials with old-fashioned thinking in the court, and they are the most disciplined. The third prince's behavior is considered unfilial if he is disrespectful to his ancestors, which can be punished as a crime of disrespect.

"As soon as the speaker comes out, the emperor is probably going to favor the third prince again. I don't know what our father thinks. It seems that he especially sympathizes with the weak."

"No, he just likes to control everything in his own hands. He punished the third child to kneel at the ancestral temple, which means that this matter has been exposed. The courtiers continue to impeach, which will only annoy the emperor."

＊＊＊＊＊＊

With the return of the third prince, the undercurrent in the court became more violent, and even the lowest officials realized that something was wrong. The daily court meeting was like a vegetable market. It has risen to personal attacks, and recently there have been many officials who have been deprived of their hats or lost their heads for various reasons.

The ink corruption case was also closed. There were more than a dozen civil servants and generals involved in it. The emperor made a verdict based on the amount of ink corruption. The lesser ones were exiled to Lingnan, and the more serious ones were executed. In this case, the final punishment was the Ning family.

"Your Majesty, the case of Zuo Zhonghou Su Qizheng has been closed. According to the law, he should be sentenced to beheaded. Please take a look at it." Kong Jing presented Su Qizheng's case file.

There is nothing to discuss about this case, Su Qizheng's hobbies are known to many ministers in the court, but in the past, everyone would not meddle in other people's business, not to mention that this person is a member of Taiwei Xue, and it depends on the owner to beat a dog.

Sure enough, Taiwei Xue's face was gloomy, and he seemed unhappy. It's not difficult to guess who is behind this incident. It is nothing more than to drive his people out of the Gyeonggi Camp. The leader of the Gyeonggi Camp is a member of the Three Princes faction You Zhonghou heard that he also wanted to join the Zhao family. If his own people were also replaced, then the Jingji camp would be a piece of iron bucket.

Taiwei Xue glanced at the back of King Shun, it is also possible that this person did it, Mu Ziying is very difficult to move, but as long as he can take Su Qizheng's position, at least he can have a little military power, with King Shun's talent, he must have already started to fight Military power started.

Thinking about the recent changes in the military generals in the court, it seems normal, but he doesn't believe that there is no one behind it. The most likely one is King Shun. After all, he just returned to Beijing and urgently needs military power to stabilize his power.

"Based on this judgment, has the candidate for Zuo Zhonghou been drawn up?" the emperor asked with his heavy eyelids looking at the ministers below.

The ministers in the court went up and down, and the emperor didn't care who would take his place, but...he glanced at Li Xu, then at Zhao Shu, he was getting old, there must be someone to inherit this country, since Li Xu was taken over by After the crown prince was abolished, the East Palace remained empty.

There are always people urging him to establish a crown prince in the middle of the court, wishing that he can immediately decide on the candidates so that they can stand in the team.

Oh, what a wishful thinking!

Prime Minister Wei handed in a list, "Reporting to the emperor, the old minister discussed with several ministers for many days, and three people were selected. These three people are all from various counties and have experience in leading troops in battle. I ask the emperor to make a decision. "

The emperor took a glance, and the three people were indeed from the local area. Such people are generally far away from the faction in the court. Prime Minister Wei is a neutral faction, and the emperor still trusts him. The person he selected must also be a neutral faction.

But when people arrive at the center of power in the capital, there are still a few who can keep their hearts. In the end, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.

The emperor hated courtiers forming cliques for selfish purposes, and even more disgusted that they were busy helping the prince plan his future before he died.

"Lian Chan, I have the impression that this person was promoted after he made great contributions in the Northwest. It happens that Yingchuan lacks a county captain, so let him go...Su Ziyan, also surnamed Su."

Prime Minister Wei explained: "Su Ziyan is the direct son of the Su family in Xiling, and is not of the same clan as Su Qizheng."

"Oh, that Su family has a clean and upright family style, so he must be a good person, so let him be."

The corner of Wei Chengxiang's mouth hooked up, it was the same as the candidate he had guessed, he glanced left and right lightly, no matter how they operate, in the end the candidate will still be decided by him.

After going down to court, Li Xu walked slowly behind and stopped only when he heard the voice of Eunuch Zhao summoning him.

"His Royal Highness Shun, Your Majesty has a request." Eunuch Zhao said with a smile.

"I don't know what your father ordered?" Li Xu asked in a low voice.

Eunuch Zhao's smile remained unchanged. He turned around and said in a low voice, "It's a good thing, but the prince may not like it."

Li Xu frowned, for a moment he didn't know when it was a good thing but he didn't like it, but soon he knew it. After the emperor asked him to go in, he said bluntly: "You are not young, you only have a daughter How can you do it, and this time you didn’t bring any female relatives with you when you came to Beijing, how is it proper? I picked six young and beautiful court ladies for you, you can take them back.”

Li Xu's eyes widened. He didn't expect the emperor to do this. He hesitated for a moment between accepting or refusing, and finally chose to accept, "Thank you, father, my son takes orders."

It's not good to fight against the emperor at this time, anyway, it's up to him whether he takes it back or not.

The emperor nodded, and said earnestly: "Your third brother has returned to Beijing. He is a few years younger than you. Unfortunately, heirs are also difficult, but at least there is some movement. If it weren't for his poor concubine and poor management of the backyard, there would be no emptiness under his knees." , since you have chosen the person you like, then let her take care of the backyard affairs, as the prince, it is your responsibility to spread the branches and leaves for the royal family!"

"I understand." Li Xu obeyed obediently.

"It's best to give birth to an emperor's grandson within this year. I don't even have a son, whether it's a descendant or a concubine. How can you let me rest assured that I will hand over this country to you?"

Li Xu lowered his head, twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and thought to himself: If succession to the throne depends on fighting for a son, then why do you have to fight back and forth?Just go home and have a baby.

But he knew that the emperor was taking this opportunity to reprimand him, so he just listened obediently and didn't need to have too many opinions.

Probably because of his obedient and obedient appearance, the emperor was not in the mood to teach a lesson. Li Xu was like this most of the time, never contradicting his words. He seemed obedient, but no one knew what he was thinking.

"Okay, I'll annoy you if I talk too much, you just need to know the seriousness." The emperor waved his hand and asked him to back down. From the beginning to the end, Li Xu never begged for a favor for his younger brother. In the eyes of the emperor, how much Some callous.

Li Xu withdrew, and before he had gone far, he saw Eunuch Yang personally waiting for him with six well-dressed maids. When he saw him, he smiled like a flower, "Congratulations, my lord. Yes, you have a good appearance and a high character, please accept it."

Li Xu glanced briefly, and saw six young and beautiful girls, in the Mood for Love, with outstanding looks, they were indeed quite attractive, but it was a pity that Li Xu wouldn't even touch them with a finger.

"Thank you, Eunuch Yang." Li Xu turned around and left. The six women were stunned for a moment, and immediately followed with small steps. Liu Shu stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "The beauties, please follow me, Your Highness has something else to do."

After leaving the palace gate, Li Xu gave the carriage to those beauties, and rode out of the city by himself. Kou Xiao is in the barracks today, in order to prevent him from hearing rumors, why not tell him personally that if this jar of jealousy is overturned, It is estimated that the palace will be blown up.
