"Father Emperor …"
Li Zexuan hastily wanted to argue a few more words, but Li Zexuan just happened to "stab" him in the back. He took a step forward, cupped his hands, and said loudly, "Retired Emperor, what this subject is going to say next is related to His Highness King Lu's life and death. I hope that Retired Emperor will dismiss your attendants!"
Once these words came out, everyone in the courtyard changed color. Li Zexuan was so scared that his little face turned white!
Li Yuan stared fixedly at Li Zexuan's eyes. After a long while, he waved his hand and said, "All of you, withdraw!"
The guards looked at each other. In the end, they still put away their weapons and withdrew from the courtyard.
At this moment, Li Zexuan was no longer as arrogant as before. He also withdrew with the guards.
Inside the courtyard, only Li Zexuan and Li Yuan were left!
"Kid! You have guts! If you were born a dozen years earlier, there would definitely be a place for you in this vast land. Erlang might not even be able to compare to you! "
Li Yuan looked at Li Zexuan and said with a complicated expression.
It was not that he was trying to flatter Li Zexuan, but in that confrontation just now, Li Zexuan had resolved a life-or-death situation in the blink of an eye. The courage and strategy he had displayed had made him look at him in a new light!
A person who only has bravery is not scary. What's scary is bravery and strategy! This kind of person, placed in troubled times, definitely has the qualifications to become a formidable person!
Li Zexuan was greatly shocked. He thought to himself, Old thing, do you lack morals? Are you trying to kill me by saying these kinds of words?
This rotten old man is very bad ~!
Li Zexuan gave Li Yuan such a label in his heart!
"Retired Emperor's words are wrong! With this subject's lazy temperament, if I was born a dozen years earlier, I definitely would not be able to live until now! Only in this kind of peaceful and prosperous world, can this subject's talent and knowledge have a place to display it ~! "
Li Zexuan criticized for a while in his heart, then he hurriedly stepped forward and said.
Regardless of whether or not there were eyes and ears in the surroundings, and regardless of whether or not Li Yuan's words were deliberately probing, in terms of basic political standpoint, he must stand in the right position.
Li Yuan shook his head and did not argue with Li Zexuan on this matter. He said in a low voice, "Kid! Just now, you said that you had something to discuss with Zhen, and it was related to Yuan Chang's life and death. Now that Zhen has dismissed the servants, hurry up and speak! If I find out that you lied to me, I'll even get people to drag you down and chop you up to feed the dogs ~! "
Li Zexuan smiled calmly and said, "Retired Emperor, have you heard of the story of Wu Jiang Zongzi?"
When Li Yuan heard that, his expression changed abruptly. Li Zexuan's words poked at that scar in his heart that had not healed all along!
Li Zexuan ignored him and continued, "During the Spring and Autumn Period, the second son of Zheng Wu Gong, Gongshu Duan, was born. His mother, Wu Jiang, had a difficult birth when giving birth to her eldest son, so she hated her eldest son, Ji Yunsheng. She repeatedly asked Zheng Wu Gong to make Gongshu Duan the crown prince, but Zheng Wu Gong did not agree. After Zheng Wu Gong died, his eldest son, Ji Yunsheng, ascended the throne as Zheng Zhuanggong.
Two years later, Wu Jiang requested to give the capital to Gongshu Duan. After receiving permission, Gongshu Duan was able to live in the capital and wantonly expand his private power. Not long after, Gongshu Duan ordered the western and northern border regions of Zheng to listen to his commands. Zheng Dafu's son, Lu, expressed to Zheng Zhuanggong that as a country's official, he could not listen to orders from both sides. If Zheng Zhuanggong intended to abdicate the throne to Gongshu Duan, then he should serve him. Otherwise, he should get rid of him and not let the people have other ideas.
Zheng Zhuanggong, due to his mother's spoiling of his younger brother, still did not interfere. Gongshu Duan was even more unbridled. He took two lands as his fief and the area under his control expanded to Lin Yan.
In the fifth month of the 49th year of King Ping of Zhou, Gongshu Duan reorganized the city walls, accumulated food, repaired equipment and weapons, and replenished the infantry chariots, preparing to attack the capital of Zheng. He also contacted Wu Jiang in the capital as a spy and had her open the city gates at that time.
When Zheng Zhuanggong heard the date of Gongshu Duan's attack, he ordered Zheng Dafu's son, Lu, to lead two hundred chariots to attack the capital city. Gongshu Duan was defeated and fled to Yan. Zheng Zhuanggong led his troops to pursue and win. After that, Gongshu Duan fled to live in Gong Yi. Zhuang Gong sent out his troops to pursue and kill him. In the end, Gongshu Duan was driven to a dead end and was forced to commit suicide! "
Silence!
After Li Zexuan's voice fell, the courtyard suddenly sunk into a strange silence. Li Yuan stared fixedly at him. His eyes also stared unblinkingly at Li Yuan!
His purpose in telling this story was to tell Li Yuan that his excessive spoiling of Li Yuanchang was only pushing him step by step toward the edge of the abyss of death! When he, Li Yuan, passed away one day and could no longer protect Li Yuanchang, if Li Yuanchang was still so 'jumpy' and liked to stir up trouble everywhere, then he, Li Yuanchang, would be the next Gongshu Duan!
This was not an exaggeration to scare people. The Li Yuanchang of history, because of Li Yuan's excessive spoiling when he was alive, caused him to forget himself and lose his reverence. As a result, in the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, together with Du He, Zhao Jie, Li Anyan, and the others, he suggested Crown Prince Li Chengqian to rebel. Hexan Chengji reported the Crown Prince's rebellion, and Li Yuanchang, Du He, Hou Junji, and the others were all beheaded for the crime of rebellion!
"Imperial Grandfather, Imperial Grandfather! Have mercy ah! "
At this moment, a clear and melodious female voice, like the chirping of an oriole, broke the silence. Changle, who was wearing a thick fur coat, was running quickly towards them. Behind her were Li Tai, Li Ke, and Li Chengqian!
"Aiya!"
When Changle was running in front of the two, she accidentally tripped over a protruding stone tile on the ground, and her entire body was about to crash into the limestone floor in front of her!
"Princess, be careful!"
In a flash, Li Zexuan shot forward and arrived in front of Changle. He firmly grabbed the latter's shoulder with one hand, preventing her from falling.
"Brother Xiaoxuan, you're fine? That's great! "
Changle took a few quick breaths, turned her head to look at Li Zexuan, and said happily.
Li Zexuan frowned, because he could sense that Changle's breathing was extremely chaotic. When he thought about how this little girl had run all the way here from Changle Palace in the middle of winter, his expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "Changle, don't speak! Quickly calm your breathing and focus your mind! "
It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, but now that he said it, Changle's face instantly turned ghastly pale. She bent over and clutched her chest, and then she coughed violently. She then said with a pained expression, "Cough, cough, cough! Brother Xiaoxuan … Changle … Changle's chest is so stuffy, huff! Huff! Huff! "
As she spoke, her breathing became shorter and shorter, more and more hurried!
"Changle! Changle! What's wrong? "
At this time, Li Yuan also quickly rushed over. He looked at the pale Changle and said with an anxious expression.
Li Chengqian and Li Tai had only just caught up, and the two of them anxiously said, "Changle's qi is acting up! Someone! Quickly call the imperial physician! "
At this time, how could Li Zexuan still care about the propriety between men and women? What's more, Changle was only a little girl. He never had that kind of thought. At the critical moment, he carried Changle up from the ground in a princess carry. He said anxiously to Li Yuan: "Retired Emperor, where is a warm side room? Changle can't breathe in cold air right now, or else her life will be in danger! "
Li Yuan had always doted on Changle. When he heard Li Zexuan's words, his face that was always calm also panicked a little. He pointed at the palace in the north, and as he ran, he shouted at Li Zexuan, "Quick! Quickly follow Zhen! Zhen's bedroom has heating! "
