Perhaps because of the matter of the third prince Li Jingye, the princes who have always followed the line of warmth and brotherhood suddenly felt a little bit insecure, and their behavior and speech were not as casual as before, so Li Jingyu appeared. The relationship between the two princes and Li Jingyan is relatively stable, and the rest of the princes are more cautious.

But even so, the emperor didn't seem to want to stop there, but things seemed to be getting worse.

Inside the study.

The emperor summoned Li Jinghuan, Li Jingyu and Li Jingxuan to discuss the matter of offering sacrifices and praying for blessings this year. It was mentioned that the Baiyun Temple, a Taoist temple for blessings, seemed to be in disrepair for a long time, so the emperor ordered Li Jinghuan to draw up a regulation for the restoration of Baiyun Temple. Li Jinghuan readily agreed, and the other two did not have much objection.

It's just that when the matter was over, Li Jingxuan said casually: "If the Baiyun Temple is to be renovated, I will recognize a Taoist in the Baiyun Temple. The Taoism is profound, and he can be the new master of the temple."

Li Jingyu has always been on guard against Li Jingxuan, and usually sent someone to keep an eye on his movements. Knowing that he seemed to have secretly called this Taoist to ask about his future, he only felt that he seemed to have a different heart, so he always felt a little nervous.Thinking of this, he couldn't help saying a few words: "I just don't know how the fifth younger brother met this Taoist, how did he know that he has real skills? My son, I don't think this matter should be so hasty."

There was no other meaning in what he said, it was just that he didn't want Li Jingxuan to want to show off everywhere, and wanted to warn and beat him up, but I don't know if his words were too suspicious and ironic, the emperor's face immediately became very ugly, "What? After studying for so many years, have you learned to be suspicious of your brother and narrow-minded?"

Li Jingyu didn't expect that his father's suspicions would be aroused by his own words, so he hurriedly knelt down to admit his mistake, Li Jinghuan was also surprised, and repeatedly begged for mercy.

Seeing this, Li Jingxuan first glanced at the emperor without a trace, as if he was judging the situation in front of him, and then immediately knelt down to excuse Li Jingyu.

After the three people took turns to comfort them, the emperor's anger gradually calmed down. In the end, he only gave a warning and did not take any substantive measures.The three kowtowed to thank each other, and exited the study tremblingly.

Perhaps it was because of his own relationship that Li Jingyu was reprimanded. Even though Li Jingxuan walked beside the two in silence, the atmosphere was still a little awkward. He is also a sensible person, so he found an excuse when he saw this and stopped talking to the two of them. Together, I went back home along other routes ahead of schedule.

Li Jinghuan walked beside Li Jingyu silently, also confused. I don't know why the emperor suddenly reprimanded Li Jingyu. When the imperial concubine passed away, the emperor still comforted him warmly. He was afraid that Li Jingyu would be too sad. Why did his attitude change so suddenly? many?But no matter what, it is still necessary to comfort the fourth brother now.

"Fourth brother, second brother knows that you have been suspicious of fifth brother, and also knows that you are doing it for second brother's benefit, but you have seen Father's thunder and anger today. Father doesn't like our brothers to be suspicious, so now you must not act on your will, you Even if you really doubt Fifth Brother, you should check it out before making a decision."

Li Jingyu smiled bitterly: "Check? If the emperor knows, I'm afraid it will be another reprimand."

"Fourth brother..."

Li Jingyu interrupted him: "Suspicious neighbor stealing the axe, my father is dissatisfied with me now, no matter what I do, it won't help, second brother, you don't have to worry about me."

"How could it be?" Li Jinghuan was anxious, "As long as you go to Father Huang to admit your mistake and show your attitude to Father Emperor, Father Emperor will definitely not hold on to this matter like this."

Li Jinghuan didn't understand, but Li Jingyu was clear in his heart. He was also an emperor. He knew better than anyone what his father meant by what he was doing now. It was nothing more than wanting to eliminate possible threats for the prince. On the one hand, he was a bad guy and asked the prince to be a good guy in order to subdue their brothers.

His father dotes on the crown prince, this is something he has known for a long time, he just didn't expect that their sons other than the crown prince would have such a status in the heart of his father.It seems that now he doesn't have to worry about the threat of the fifth brother to his second brother. Judging from his father's current actions, it will be a matter of time before the fifth brother will be frustrated, and it is likely to be more serious than him and the third brother.

After all, the father has been the emperor for so many years. Whether it is means or the city, they are still far worse than sons.

Li Jinghuan sensed his emotional instability, and glared at him, "Fourth brother, why doesn't second brother know that you are so weak, and you just got reprimanded, and you are so depressed?"

Li Jingyu sighed, the second brother has been favored by his father since he was a child, how does he know the situation of these people.But he also knew that the second brother was doing it for his own good, so he could only act as if he had figured it out, and said respectfully: "Thank you for the explanation, second brother, when the father calms down, the younger brother will go to the father to explain , Second Brother, don’t worry.”

Li Jinghuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

Li Jingyu also talked for a change, and then took advantage of a meeting to stay on purpose, sincerely admitted his mistake to the emperor, and made a good review, "My son has faced the wall these few days, knowing that he was wrong, and still Tired father is angry, it is really unfilial to the extreme. The fifth brother and the son are brothers, blood is thicker than water, and the son has always been respectful, but the son is suspicious of the fifth brother, it really shouldn't be, and now the minister is even more It’s too late to regret. From now on, I will treat my brothers sincerely and treat each other with sincerity.”

The emperor nodded in satisfaction.

His attack on Li Jingyu that day was not because of Li Jingxuan's affairs. He also knew that after the death of Zheng Guifei, Li Jingyu's position was always embarrassing. Threat to the crown prince.But this child has been close to the prince since he was a child, and he can't bear to have any ambitions, so he just took the opportunity to beat him up, as long as he understands what he means, since he deliberately explained it, he understands what he means, There is no difference between listening to these words of self-criticism and not listening.

"Knowing mistakes can be corrected. There is nothing good about it. I am very pleased that you can understand that brothers treat each other with sincerity."

After the emperor finished speaking, he said a few words of comfort and rewarded him with some things, so he told him to go back.

Li Jingxuan witnessed Li Jingyu being blamed because of him that day, and the news that Li Jingyu went to the emperor for a review naturally reached him.

After receiving the news, Li Jingxuan took a sip of tea and asked the people to go and receive the reward. After a long silence, he muttered to himself: "How can the fourth brother know about the secret of divination? Go? And Father, what does he mean..." He still had a habitual smile on his face, but there was a slight murderous look in his eyes.

After a long time, Li Jingxuan put away his smile, gently put down the tea bowl, stared straight at the door, and chuckled again: "Anyway, this is good news."

Although it was said that Li Jingxuan and Li Jingyu could still make an excuse to separate and avoid a lot of embarrassment, but after all, people have to go to court together every day.Soon, within a few days, when the two were about to go to the palace to greet the emperor, they ran into each other under the corridor.

Li Jingxuan saw Li Jingyu from a distance, and couldn't avoid it, so he stepped forward to salute, "Fourth brother."

Li Jingyu's face was light, "Fifth brother."

In fact, Li Jingyu didn't have any prejudices against Li Jingxuan in his heart. In his past and present lives, he was half buried. He wouldn't really be like a young man in his 20s, who would be brooding over small things.What's more, he also knew that his father just used Li Jingxuan as an excuse for this matter, even without him, there were other things that could not be avoided, and he would not have any opinion on him because of this.

And according to his conjecture, Li Jingxuan and him were also in the same boat, so he even felt a little sympathetic when he saw Li Jingxuan.

Li Jingxuan didn't know about his many mental activities, but seeing him so indifferent, he only thought that he was still feeling uncomfortable because of what happened that day, "My brother sees that fourth brother's complexion is not very good, but he has been tired recently? Or is he still blaming my brother? Four Forgive me, my brother didn't do it on purpose that day..."

Li Jingyu's expression remained unchanged, "Thank you for your concern, fifth brother, I'm fine."

Li Jingxuan saw that the other party seemed to be really calm, as if the events of that day did not exist at all, and he was even more curious. The fourth brother is the son of Concubine Zheng. Apart from the prince, he is the proud son of heaven, but he is willing to follow the prince. After seeing such a grievance, he didn't care about it. This is really unusual!

"Fourth brother is really a loyal minister. Even so, he hasn't complained yet. My brother really admires his kindness."

After dealing with all kinds of people in the court and palace for so long, Li Jingyu has already cultivated a skill to remove all modifiers, particles, sarcasm, and flattery in his words, and only extract the backbone of his words .So at this time Li Jingxuan's words sounded to him: Why don't you rebel?

Li Jingyu was taken aback by his own understanding, looked at Li Jingxuan suspiciously, and said in a low voice: "Father is the emperor, and I am a minister, so naturally I have to listen to the training, isn't it the case with the fifth brother?"

Li Jingxuan was choked by his words, and the eloquent person didn't know how to answer at this time, so he could only say embarrassingly: "Yes, yes, my brother is also the same, but I am just an ordinary person, even if I think about it in my heart Loyal to the monarch and patriotic, he will feel wronged when he is reprimanded for no reason, unlike the fourth brother who is so open-minded."

After such a remark, he finally rounded up the words, otherwise people would hear him and think he had something different.

But Li Jingxuan now knows that his fourth brother, who is usually silent, is also a master when he speaks. In the end, he can only say something vaguely: "If the fourth brother is fine, the younger brother's house is still there." I have something to do, so I'll take my leave first." After saying that, he turned around and left quickly.
