Li Hongyuan left the Imperial Palace, but he didn't get on the carriage. He came out today to show off. Whether he needed it or not, Eunuch Mu considerately asked the guard to bring his precious horse. Sure enough, Li Hongyuan directly took the reins and patted the horse's neck. This reddish-brown precious horse had glossy hair without any impurities. It was fat and strong, and its limbs were slender and powerful. Because of Li Hongyuan's action, it snorted twice and rubbed its head against his arm. Facing this horse that he had raised for several years, Li Hongyuan showed a rare trace of tenderness. "I haven't let you run for a long time. Today, I'll let you run to your heart's content."
When Eunuch Mu heard this, he knew that his master was going to make trouble again. He'd better let the city defense team get ready early.
Li Hongyuan simply turned over and got on the horse. He was extraordinarily handsome, and no one could tell that he was still injured.
When he said that he wanted to run, he didn't restrain himself at all. He let the precious horse run wild. As his guard, he naturally had to follow him. Therefore, even if he knew that he would probably go to the prison of the capital government for a few days, he still braced himself and followed him. He should have been aware that he would be stabbed and imprisoned if he followed such a master.
Since his master had left, the guard of honor could only return home empty-handed.
Speaking of Li Hongyuan's horsemanship, of course, there was nothing to say. In the battlefield for several years in his previous life, he had run on all kinds of roads. Even in the downtown area, he was confident that he wouldn't bump into anyone, not to mention around the Imperial Palace. He wouldn't see an ordinary civilian for several streets. However, under normal circumstances, although there were few people, once people appeared, they were basically in groups. Even ordinary officials had three to five servants, not to mention people of similar status as Li Hongyuan.
Li Hongyuan acted as if he did not see Prince Kang's guard of honor coming towards him. Not only did he not order the horse to slow down, he even sped up and rushed straight towards the carriage. The coachman was quite frightened and subconsciously pulled the reins on the left side. The horses pulling the carriage naturally swerved to the left side. In addition, the horses seemed to be frightened. All of a sudden, the carriage swayed and almost flipped over. Li Hongyuan rode his horse and whizzed past the carriage on the right side, while the guards behind him chased with all their might.
The dignified and dignified guard of honor of Prince Kang was scattered like this, creating chaos.
Li Hongyi was hit several times in the carriage, so his anger naturally soared to the sky. When the carriage finally stabilized, he loosened his grip on the wooden plank inside the carriage. Unable to restrain his anger, he got up and abruptly opened the curtain, "Who is it? Did they eat a bear's heart and leopard's gall, to dare to hit ben wang's carriage? Who, who is it? " He didn't see the main culprit. "A bunch of trash. So many people can't keep the other party, what is ben wang raising you for?"
Everyone hurriedly knelt down to beg for forgiveness.
"Master's anger, is …"
How could Prince Kang wait for them to explain? He jumped down from the carriage and kicked away the person closest to him, "Trash, speak, who is it?"
"Replying to Master, it is Jin Qinwang." Prince Kang's personal attendant didn't dare to have the slightest hesitation. He hurriedly replied with a trembling voice, fearing that if he spoke slowly, he would anger him. But this answer could also explode his Master's anger ten times or a hundred times, so he didn't dare to lie.
Sure enough, at that moment, Li Hongyi's complexion could be said to be a black bottom pot. Because of the force, the veins on the back of his hand, neck, and even his forehead were throbbing, "Li Hongyuan, Li Hongyuan …" He squeezed it out from between his teeth. He really wanted to eat his flesh, drink his blood, and chew his bones. "Go back and give ben wang fifty whips. Go … "
No matter how angry he was, no matter how much he hated, he couldn't do anything to him. It wasn't that he didn't dare, but that he couldn't. Because if he endured it, this matter might be over. If he fought back, that bastard would be like a mad dog, biting him and not letting him go. The final result would only alarm Fuhuang, and the one who would suffer in the end would never be him, Li Hongyuan. This was what made him most aggrieved.
When Prince Kang learned that Le Chengdi was in the Jade Essence Palace, he went directly to the Empress's Kunyi Palace.
The Empress, who was graceful and magnanimous, raised her eyebrows unhappily when she saw Li Hongyi. Her son was sometimes reckless and impulsive, but he wouldn't be so rude. His current appearance, to put it seriously, was disgraceful. "What's wrong now?"
Prince Kang's anger naturally wouldn't subside so quickly. He angrily told the Empress what had just happened.
The Empress was silent for a few breaths. Other than that, she didn't have any other reaction. "It's not the first time. You've been like this every time. Even if you've angered yourself to death, he still lives freely without any harm. Alright, calm down. You're giving ben wang a headache. If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, just think of it as being bitten by a dog. If a dog bites you, you can't always think of biting back. "
Li Hongyi said in his heart, "If a dog bites you, it naturally won't bite back. It will directly chop you up."
It wasn't easy for his anger to subside, but Li Hongyi didn't dare to disobey his mother, so he could only suppress it.
The Empress glanced at him indifferently. "It's useless to be calculative now. As long as you can become the final winner, no matter how much humiliation you suffered, you can make up for it ten times, a hundred times over. Let him be proud now. What I want is the final result. In this process, for some things that don't affect the overall situation, even if Li Hongyuan steps on my head and shits on me, I'll endure it. "
"Mother, you're the Empress who is the mother of the world. Why do you have to go to this extent?"
"Do you know why I'm still the Empress even though I'm obviously not favored by your father? Because I can endure it. I can endure it. I can endure it. I can endure it. I can endure it. I can endure it. I can endure it. " When the Empress said this, she paused. She seemed to have thought of something and said more. "Ding General Manor has great power. The reason why it hasn't fallen to the same situation as Wu Anhou's Mansion is not because the emperors of several generations have been particularly kind to Ding General Manor, but because Ding General Manor is backed by an aristocratic family with a deep background. The entire Sun family is intertwined. It's not easy to uproot it.
Ding General Manor has come to this point today. There's no way back. If it retreats, it's not only because your uncle and others are unwilling to give up this great wealth, but also because once it retreats, it will become the next Wu Anhou's Mansion. Although the greater the power, the more your father fears it, only by holding great power can Ding General Manor be protected.
Your father won't let me be the only one in power. At the same time, he won't let Su control the Imperial Harem. In the Imperial Harem, he also needs balance. This is another reason why I'm sitting on the Empress's throne.
The world thinks that I and Su are fighting to the death, like water and fire. It seems that we're evenly matched. It's either the West suppressing the East or the East suppressing the West. We always lose one round and win the other. How can it be so coincidental and regular? There will be times when you're tired of fighting, but for more than 20 years, there's almost no time for rest. Why do you think? Because your father wants us to fight. Don't think that our fighting will make him angry. In fact, the fiercer we fight, the calmer his heart will be. If one day, Empress Mother doesn't want to fight anymore, you'll probably have to enter the Cold Palace. "
Prince Kang listened to the Empress's understatement, but he could imagine all kinds of hardships. Li Hongyi's lips squirmed, but in the end, he didn't say anything. There were some things that were useless to say. "Empress Mother, what about Li Hongyuan? Why does father indulge him so much?"
"Naturally, it's because of his birth mother, the Imperial Noble Consort from back then. That woman was truly the most beautiful woman in the world. That woman's position in your Imperial Father's heart is something that all the women in the imperial harem can't compare to. For Su shi to be able to be the most favored in the imperial harem for so many years, it can't be without the factor of that woman.
"How did she die?"
"It's said that she suffered from dystocia and hemorrhage."
"It's said?" This word was so subtle.
The Empress nodded noncommittally.
If that was the case, then there was most likely a problem. "Imperial Father's indulgence towards Sixth Younger Brother is simply unrestrained. Then, with the other brothers fighting among themselves, will Imperial Father directly pass the throne to him in the end? All of us are targets that father set up for him? "Thinking of this possibility, Li Hongyi's hostility was even stronger than Li Hongyuan's.
"Imperial Son is thinking too much. An emperor without power and influence, what right does he have to sit on the throne? To be a rare 'Emperor for a Day'? "
"If father has that idea, he will naturally pave the way for him."
"Pave the way? How? Kill his other sons and the people behind them? Don't talk about whether your father has that much courage. Even if he really dares to do that, how many people do you think will be left in the end? At the same time, it will inevitably cause chaos. This country will probably … "The unfinished words were spoken without finishing.
"If he can't do it openly, can't he train people in secret?"
The Empress glanced at her son. For a moment, Li Hongyi's face was burning. Although his mother didn't say anything, her eyes were clearly looking at him as if he was an idiot. "It's not that I'm looking down on your father, but your father … secretly nurtured a small number of people. It's still possible for him to nurture people who can support the entire court and the entire Qiyuan Dynasty …" The Empress smiled, and there was even some disdain and contempt in her smile.
The Empress's smile made Li Hongyi shudder. He knew that his Empress Mother was very powerful. He also knew that if it wasn't for his Empress Mother's scheming behind the scenes, he wouldn't be Li Hongming's opponent at all. It was very difficult to admit that he was inferior to others. However, Li Hongyi wasn't really arrogant and didn't know his own limits. For example, there were many times when he was like a marionette in his Empress Mother's hands. He didn't know if he would be the puppet for the Empress Dowager to "govern from behind the curtain" when he ascended the throne one day.
The Empress acted as if she didn't see Li Hongyi's unpredictable expression. "Before you entered the palace, I received news that your sixth brother played a game of chess with your father in the Jade Palace. In the end, your father was defeated miserably when he gave two pieces to your father."
Li Hongyi suddenly looked up at the Empress in disbelief. He had never won a game of chess with Le Cheng Emperor.
"Your sixth brother has never been an idiot. On the contrary, he has been very smart since he was young. He knows how to protect himself best. He knows very well that if he shows off his abilities, he may have died long ago. You should be glad that he seems to be on your third brother's side, but in fact, he doesn't. If he really helped your third brother wholeheartedly, the power in your hands would shrink by at least one-third. Therefore, my son, you should endure when you need to. Don't force him to side with his opponent. You will only suffer a great loss. "
"Mother, are you saying that Li … sixth brother is hiding his abilities? He also has ambitions for the throne? "
"My son, do you really want me to say those two words? Idiot. "
Li Hongyi's face was pale from the Empress' attack.
"Perhaps he has ambitions. As a prince, there are not many who would not covet that throne. But perhaps because of the time of birth, there are differences in ambition. Your sixth brother abandoned school when he was young. He didn't learn many things that he should have learned. This is not something that can be made up for with intelligence alone. After so many years, he has long been used to extravagance and debauchery. How likely do you think it is for him to work hard without the help of outsiders? At least until now, he has not become anyone's opponent. You don't need to ask about him for now. Naturally, I will send people to keep an eye on him. You just do what you should do. "
"Son knows." Then, Li Hongyi hesitated as if he had something to say.
"A man should speak and act decisively. If you have something to say, say it. Don't hesitate."
"Back then, was the imperial gui fei not of good birth? After so many years, I haven't seen anyone from her maternal family. "
"At least nine out of ten people in the world think so. However, it is not true. That woman actually came from the Pei family, the number one aristocratic family in Jiangnan, and was the legitimate daughter. As everyone knows, the Pei family was loyal to the royal family of the previous dynasty. The Li family seized the country and changed the dynasty. The Pei family was unwilling to be loyal to the new ruler, so they all withdrew from the court and returned to Jiangnan. Because the influence of the Pei family was not small at that time, if the Pei family was destroyed, it was likely that many people who had submitted to the Great Ancestor would betray him and directly cut off the possibility of the Great Ancestor ascending the throne. Or perhaps the Great Ancestor wanted to show his benevolence, so he let the Pei family leave in one piece and issued an imperial edict. Unless the Pei family committed the crime of rebellion, the Li family's emperor could not make things difficult for the Pei family.
Because of this, the Pei family naturally would not allow their people to have any relationship with the Li family. For nearly a hundred years, there was no room for reconciliation. Furthermore, the Pei family had a family rule that legitimate daughters could not be concubines. The daughter of the Pei family fell in love with your father. At that time, your father was still a prince and just happened to go to Jiangnan on a mission. This matter was very fierce. Your father was almost demoted to a commoner by the previous emperor and had no fate with the throne. In the end, the daughter of the Pei family was eliminated from the Pei family. It was announced that the daughter of the Pei family had suddenly died. The daughter of the Pei family changed her name and followed your father to the capital alone. She hid for three years and changed her identity to enter the palace as a concubine. Your father stood his ground against the opinions of the masses and did not hesitate to violate the ancestral teachings to let her enter the palace without power, influence, or background, and be conferred the title of imperial gui fei. "
"Since father cared so much about the daughter of the Pei family, according to common sense, he should have passed the throne to sixth brother. He should have brought sixth brother by his side since childhood and taught him well instead of giving him to Su gui fei to raise. If at that time he had paved the way for sixth brother to ascend the throne, with father's full support, I believe many people would be willing to support Li Hongyuan and not the current situation. This son thinks that there must be something else hidden. "
"If the identity of the daughter of the Pei family is a secret of the imperial family, then what you said is a secret of secrets. Imperial Mother also doesn't know."
"Imperial Mother, should we investigate? It might be of great benefit to us."
"Imperial son, if it was possible to investigate, after all these years, Imperial Mother would have already done it. Why would I wait until now? Back then, the Imperial Noble Consort died from blood loss during childbirth. All the palace servants who served her were angered by your Father Emperor and were all beaten to death to accompany her. Many other people were also implicated and lost their lives. Right now, the only people who still know the truth, other than your Father Emperor, is probably only Su shi. Since then, that woman has been a taboo existence to your father. If you don't want to die, don't touch her. — — What business do you have in the palace? " After talking for a long time, the Empress finally asked him about "proper business." It was clear that she did not want to continue talking about this matter.
"After knowing that sixth brother entered the palace, I thought that he most likely wanted to resolve his marriage with cousin. This son wanted to know what the result was."
"Bengong didn't know that you were so idle, Imperial son?"
"Does Imperial Mother think that this matter is not important?" Because of this matter, he was not at ease these few days. Did Imperial Mother not care at all?
"Then bengong asks you, how is this important? Your cousin's disfigurement has become an established fact. Her original value is still there, but after she was bestowed to your sixth brother, she became a completely useless chess piece. It's the same no matter who she marries. Whether your sixth brother compromised or stirred things up to the end, what's the difference? Or is it that if he stirred things up, your cousin can still marry into a good family as your uncle wished and give you another helping hand? "
Li Hongyi opened his mouth and was speechless. "… … Did sixth brother compromise, or did Imperial Father compromise? This son can also prepare a congratulatory gift for sixth brother in advance, can't it? "
"Su shi has such a good Imperial Mother. She has long hoped that her son can have a proper person to take care of him. Although Yi Jia is disfigured, other than that, she is basically impeccable. Even if your sixth brother dislikes her, why can't he let her cover her face and order her around as a servant? She can also take care of Jin Qinwang fu and handle the social interactions outside."
Li Hongyi understood. With Imperial Concubine Su, his good sixth brother would compromise. "Sixth brother has always been someone who doesn't like good things. His wedding gift is really a bit difficult."
"Alright, Imperial Mother will prepare it for you. You don't have to worry."
"Then, this son thanks Imperial Mother."
Empress Sun waved her hand and let him spend more time on his errands. If there were things he did not understand, he should learn more and ask more. Don't think that he had nothing to do after finishing the matters at hand.
Not long after Prince Kang left Kun Yi Palace, he met Prince Rui who was also preparing to leave the palace.
The two sworn enemies exchanged greetings for a while and showed their 'brotherly respect' for each other. A few days ago, they both wanted to rope in Ol 'Four to work together to get rid of the other party. However, they didn't expect that when they thought that they had succeeded and were complacent, they realized that they had been tricked by Ol' Four at the same time.
Then, just as they left the palace, they both received news that their good sixth brother had rampaged through the city. He whipped several young masters from influential families and destroyed a lot of things. He had his group of bodyguards enter the capital's prison and went to Ding Guo Gong fu alone. This was not the end. The main thing was that he went directly to Sun Yijia despite being stopped. Sun Yijia was in her own small courtyard, the inner residence.
