The nine princesses of the East Palace

Pei Zhao stood for a while, but decided to bring up the previous question again. He said, "The statement about His Majesty's plan to encircle and suppress Shuo Bo, was it His Highness who asked someone to release it?"

"So what?" Li Chengyin didn't seem to notice anything wrong.

Pei Zhao said: "Your Highness, why don't you wait any longer? Your Majesty's order should arrive in a few days."

The pen in Li Chengyin's hand did not move, he put the book of war aside, and said calmly: "What exactly is the imperial father's will, and when will it arrive, who knows?"

Pei Zhao knew that Li Chengyin was willful, but he didn't know that he was so willful. "Your Highness, have you ever thought about the consequences?" Pei Zhao said.

"It's nothing more than a beating." Li Chengyin said, "Shuobo people seriously injured me twice, killed countless soldiers, and shielded traitors from the court, I can't swallow this bad breath, attacking them is justified. Besides, after the news of the siege and suppression of Shuobo in the Central Plains is released, the people of Shuobo may not be able to sit still and jump over the wall in a hurry, and there may be a great chaos in the western region, so what's wrong with me leading the army to put down the chaos?"

Li Chengyin's words are really justified, he looks like an arrogant little leopard.Pei Zhao thought about it carefully, and seemed to understand something. Perhaps since he was attacked when he entered the country, he had been paving the way for today's situation. Being injured by Li Feng was probably intentional.After such a change, Shuo Bo ignored the imperial power of the Central Plains and attacked the Crown Prince of the Central Plains twice, Li Chengyin couldn't bear it before he took the knife, no matter how angry the emperor was, he could not be convicted of this crime.

But, only Pei Zhao knew that Li Chengyin's original intention was to capture Shuobo, but he took a long way around and picked himself out.

Moreover, Li Chengyin was injured twice, both of which were life-threatening injuries, he was really brave, he actually bet his own life in order to capture Shuobo.

Ten days later, the emperor's decree arrived, but Shuo Bo was never mentioned, and the words were still about the capture of Danchi.At this time, the people of Shuobo were causing chaos everywhere, and the entire Western Territory was in chaos.

Li Chengyin was bedridden on the grounds of being seriously injured, the matter of calming the chaos naturally fell on Gao Xian alone.Gao Xian led people to kill every Shuobo person he saw, but he still failed to calm down the western region for several days.In a rage, he wrote another book and played it in the court.

When Gao Xian was so busy, Li Chengyin's injury had healed and he was leading the Ninth Princess to play in the mountains and rivers.

The Ninth Princess was angry for a long time because of Li Chengyin's deception of his real identity, but after learning that he was seriously injured, she was worried and her anger subsided long ago.The two left the city in a carriage and traveled all the way to the foot of Tiangen Mountain.

Before killing the White-eyed Wolf King, Li Chengyin and Pei Zhao had surveyed the terrain of Tiangen Mountain, and found a warm pool surrounded by flowers and shaded by green trees. Knowing that Princess Jiu would like it, he brought her here.

When they were playing, Pei Zhao led people to ambush around to prevent Li Feng from making any moves.Sure enough, Li Feng came and was captured by Pei Zhao.

Although Li Feng is arrogant and courageous, he is still bloody and arrogant, and he refuses to plead guilty even if he kneels down. When Li Chengyin went to see him in prison, he kept scolding Li Chengyin, wanting to eat his flesh , drink his blood in general.

Li Chengyin didn't seem to care at all, and let him scold him, "Cousin, why bother? People who are dying, it's better to die dutifully, isn't it?"

Li Feng was so angry that he was so angry that he hummed: "Don't be complacent! If His Majesty knows what you have done these years, your good days will come to an end."

Li Chengyin looked at Li Feng, and said with a half-smile: "Oh, that cousin said, what have I done?"

Li Feng said: "I never thought of escaping to the west, but I was in Shuobo when I woke up. You must have asked someone to take me here."

Li Chengyin laughed: "Cousin is really good at joking, it's too late for me to kill you, how could I ask someone to save you, and bring you to such a far away place. Besides, I brought you here, for me what is the benefit?"

Li Feng didn't know how to refute, but out of anger, he stretched out his hand from inside, and forced it straight towards Li Cheng Yin's throat, Li Cheng Yin took a step back and avoided it easily.Turning to Pei Zhao, "Azhao, my cousin has gone mad because of the death of my second brother..."

"You're crazy! Li Chengyin, you lunatic!" Li Feng cursed loudly.

"Cousin can scold you if you want." Li Cheng Yin didn't leave, but leaned aside, listening with great interest.

Li Feng cursed again, his voice became hoarse, and finally said: "When I meet His Majesty, I will see how you are still at ease."

Li Chengyin said: "My cousin committed a serious crime and knew that he could not be exonerated. In desperation, he hit the wall and committed suicide. He has no face to see his father."

Li Feng stared straight at his eyes, "You want to kill me?"

"My cousin committed suicide, it has nothing to do with me." Li Cheng Yin said casually.After that, he walked away.

Li Feng seemed unwilling, and smashed the prison door desperately, but suddenly his foot slipped, and he slammed into the iron pillar, blood flowed all over his face, when Pei Zhao went to check, he was already dead.

In the end, Li Feng committed suicide, but Gao Xian didn't care how he died, as long as he died.As soon as Li Cheng Yin left, he was the boss of the Western Realm again.On the day when Li Cheng Yin left, he brought all the generals to see him off, drank several glasses of wine, and his face became stiff with laughter.

But in less than a year, Gao's family collapsed, and there was no sign of everything, which caught people off guard.

After Li Chengyin left, Gao Xian was busy cleaning up the mess in the western region, half a year passed in a flash.During this period, I received very little news about the Central Plains. I only knew about the wedding between the crown prince and the nine princesses of Xizhou in the twelfth lunar month.

However, it didn't take long before he got a tip that the emperor was investigating the case of the Gu and Chen family's annihilation.That case happened more than ten years ago, why did it suddenly come out?Moreover, that case is not only related to their Gao family, but also related to the emperor.His father had told him many years ago that everything about the Gao family was given by the emperor. The Gao family was on the same line as the emperor. The emperor would not review the case of the Gu family. If he did, it would be the end of the Gao family.Although the father didn't say it clearly, the meaning was obvious. When the emperor was there, the Gao family would be there. If the emperor took the Gao family under his knife, the Gao family would face disaster.

Gao Xian is not as loyal to the emperor as Gao Ming is. He came to the Western Territory many years ago and has been the emperor of the country for so many years. He is very ambitious. I can't go down.

He sneaked back to Shangjing and talked with Gao Ming all night.Gao Ming knew the emperor's motives, but no matter what Gao Xian said, he was unwilling to leave Shangjing.

Gao Ming stroked his beard and said, "My son, I'm old and I don't want to bother you anymore. You'd better go as far as you can and don't come back. Today, the sky has changed."

Gao Xian said unwillingly: "The prince..."

"The crown prince and us are not of the same mind." Gao Ming sighed, "It's because of my father that I was mistaken. This most dangerous person, I'm afraid, is always by my side."

Gao Xian recalled all kinds of things in the western region, and he was angry from the heart, smashed the table with his palm, and said: "You son of a bitch! Go get his dog's head later!"

Gao Ming shook his head, "The current prince, I'm afraid you are no match, so run away."

"Father, why don't you give it a go?" Gao Xian said.He admired his father since he was a child, and felt that he was talented, indomitable, and as wise and brave as Cao Gong, but now, he has become a shrinking turtle.

Gao Ming just said: "Why bother when you know the result?"

Gao Ming seemed to have seen everything, but Gao Xian couldn't see it. His people were watching outside the palace. On the night of the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, he suddenly found that the emperor and the prince both left the palace and went to a kiln called Mingyufang.

Of course, Gao Xian would not naively think that the emperor and the crown prince were just going to visit the brothel, and they were going there for the descendants of the Chen family.Gao Xian knew that the Gao family would not be able to escape, rather than just sit and wait for death, it is better to strike first, take this opportunity, kill the emperor, kill the prince, everything will subside, so what if the world is in chaos, the Gao family is safe and sound.

However, that assassination failed in the end, and the Gao family was driven to a dead end. Gao Xian fled all the way west, back to the west.During this period, his father Gao Ming died in prison, his younger brother Gao Kun Gao Zhen was also given to death one after another, his younger sister Gao Ruyi also passed away, and the Gao family with power in the government collapsed, leaving Gao Xian alone.

The Gao family's demise was unexpected, but it seemed natural.From the emperor's point of view, he doesn't need a family that can cover the sky with one hand, enough to control the government and the public. From the point of view of the prince, no one is willing to be controlled by others and be manipulated by others.Pei Zhao even thought at one point that the emperor and the crown prince were secretly working together.

There were too many things in February, and there was one thing that Pei Zhao couldn't figure out after thinking about it for a long time, that was why the emperor fainted from fright because of Chen Guipin's death, and he couldn't speak after waking up, like an idiot. Stupid.The emperor has seen a lot and has seen countless dead people over the years. Even if he had feelings for Chen Guipin, he would definitely not be so shocked by her death.

But along with the emperor's stupidity, this matter was also sealed up, and no one knew why.

After that, Pei Zhao followed Li Chengyin to march west, while Gao Xian fled everywhere.After that, Li Chengyin succeeded to the throne, and the crown princess became the empress.Afterwards, the Supreme Emperor passed away, and Pei Zhao never found the answer.

The imperial physicians only said that the Taishang Emperor was so depressed that he was so heartbroken by the death of Chen Guipin that he went mad and rushed to his heart and hurt his heart.

However, Pei Zhao's mother woke him up with a single word. Her mother said, "The concubine Chen Guifei doesn't look like Concubine Gu Shu, but she has a very similar temperament. Even the songs she plays and the songs she sings are so similar."

It's obvious that they are two generations behind each other, they haven't met each other, and it's just that they have similar temperaments, but they still play the same music and sing, so it's a bit unbelievable.

The mother said again: "Probably someone taught me when I was young, so I learned such a picture. Unfortunately, after all, I am a lucky person. I didn't get to the age of Double Ten, so I went early."

It sounds like Chen Guipin was indeed instructed by someone.Pei Zhao went to Mingyufang to look for Mrs. Wang. Mingyufang had already changed its owner. When asked about Mrs. Wang, the new owner said that she had been away for several years. Changed hands.

Pei Zhao originally thought that this matter would be over like this, but one day, Li Chengyin suddenly asked him for a drink.Li Chengyin said: "I know you are investigating the cause of your father's death."

Pei Zhao's heart trembled, and an inexplicable chill surged all over his body.

Li Chengyin laughed: "Don't you think I did it?"

"I dare not." Pei Zhao said.

"It really has nothing to do with me. It's his inner demons that hurt him. If he has a clear conscience, how can he be so timid?" Li Cheng Yin took a sip of his wine, looked at the starry sky and said, "A person has ghosts in his heart. One day, he will die from this ghost. However, he probably doesn't know that no matter how difficult it is for the mother and concubine, she will definitely not hang herself in front of him."

They are standing on the city wall at this moment, looking down from the top, the pedestrians are so small.Li Chengyin looked under the city wall, and drank the remaining half of the jug of wine, and said to himself: "I used to be so timid, I didn't dare to go up this city wall, I didn't dare to look down."

"Your Majesty is drunk." Pei Zhao said.This city wall is very strong, even children are not afraid of coming up, so how can Li Chengyin be afraid?When he went into battle to kill the enemy, he didn't even blink his eyes.

Li Chengyin remained silent.No one knew, he was really scared.In fact, not only his father had ghosts in his heart, but he also had ghosts in his heart.Maybe if you do something bad, you will feel uneasy and afraid.

In his last life, he finally mustered up the courage to climb up the city wall. Standing here, he saw the woman in red waving to him in a daze. Her smile was so bright that even the stars in the sky were eclipsed.She was still the appearance he remembered all his life, so young and fresh.

Suddenly, she complained to him: "Xiao Wu, why did you come? You are not here, no one will catch fireflies for me."

"How could it be? I caught you, but you were not here." He said.In fact, he lied. He hadn't seen fireflies in more than 30 years, because he was timid, and he didn't allow anyone to mention them.If she catches her now, I'm afraid he will be unfamiliar, and he is even thinking, what if he can't catch him?

"Then come down quickly!" she urged.

"You pull me, I'll go down." He said.

He saw that she really stretched out her hand. In order to reach her hand, he climbed up the city wall and rushed forward without hesitation.

The wind blowing in his ears hurt his ears, but he couldn't wake him up. He knew it was an illusion, but he didn't want to wake up.

He saw that he touched her hand, and he held her hand in his palm. He said in his heart, I'm coming, I'll hold you tight, don't try!

Sure enough, she didn't struggle, he smiled, he felt that he had found her, he felt an unprecedented ease, he would never let go of her hand, nor would he lose her again...
