Phoenix and Dragon

Tianshun Emperor Li Xu has recently felt a sense of unfavorable times.

The Taiping emperor has been working for a long time, and his mental strength tends to go astray. He works diligently and diligently to deal with state affairs every day, and now it seems that it can only be regarded as trivial and sporadic.

In the past, I worked hard to pass five levels and kill six generals, and pulled down all the brothers with "high ambitions" one by one. Wandering in the long seemingly eternal peace years.

Who would have expected that such an age would come to an abrupt end so quickly?

Fortunately, God still favored him.

Li Xu has a strange and complicated feeling about the word "favor".

After all, he is the current emperor, succeeding Tang Zhiyin, inheriting the rule of the emperor, and he is the only one above ten thousand people in the world. It is said that he is the only one in the world to take care of others, and it is not the turn of others to take care of him.

However, he is neither mediocre nor talented, and he has lived to this age. There are indeed three times when he sincerely thanked God for his care.

The first time was when he emerged from the chaos and finally ascended to the throne.

The second time was when he had experienced the pain of bereavement many times, but finally gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, and learned that even if he was a hundred years later, there would be someone who would win the throne.

And the third time was a few years ago, when the nephew who had not been seen for many years and even made him think that something unexpected had happened suddenly appeared.

A few years ago, Li Xu remembered that it was still at the beginning of the year, before winter and spring, Duke Xiao Kui of the State of Song came to visit suddenly, saying that a young man had found his residence, claiming to be the only son of the late Princess Pingyang There is also a token of Princess Pingyang on it as evidence.

When Xiao Kui saw the young man, he felt that the matter was so important that he didn't dare to hide it, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment, so he played it directly in front of Li Xu.

In those few years, Emperor Tianshun also had nothing to do, the world was stable, the sea was peaceful, the rivers were clear, and there was no worries outside. All nations came to congratulate him. The group of courtiers who are either royal relatives or pillars under him are bragging and bickering and slapping each other.

In those two years, Li Xu's spirit was much stronger than now, the world was peaceful and there was nothing to do, and the only thing that really worried him was the powder magazine that could explode at any time in Prince Su's mansion. Xu almost put all his heart into wondering if his younger brother, who was a demon king when he was a child, would be a tyrant and playboy when he grew up, would he want to have sex with his brother Yan Qiang.

When a person puts all his heart and mind on one thing, the result may be very terrible. After all, few people are so idle and painful that they insist on staying with one person forever. In such an unlucky situation, the prince was able to dodge a catastrophe in such an unlucky situation. No matter whether it was a good or bad result, he didn't get anything. I don't know if it's a destiny or God is just taking a nap. Didn't care about it at all.

A few years ago, when the empress dowager's confusion was at its worst, when it became serious, she could call out Princess Pingyang's boudoir name when she saw the emperor. There is no distinction between humans and animals.

Since the queen mother is still alive, although she gets confused from time to time, she is still in good health, and her confidence can be carried three miles in the wind when she shouts. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for the emperor to touch Prince Su.

Therefore, Li Xu has no place to display his schemes and tricks, and there is no one in the world to fight with him, so he feels as lonely as snow on the throne.

It was at this time that Qin Feng suddenly reappeared in the world like a peerless treasure, and really found a remedy for the emperor's long and lonely years.

The timing of his appearance was really coincidental. If it had been two years earlier, the Queen Mother's illness would not have been so serious. The emperor might have been in the mood to be so concerned about Princess Pingyang, who had been away for many years. Two years later... I'm afraid those conspiracies that cannot see the light of day Before the emperor knew it, he had already stretched out a huge net, enough to engulf the entire world, and it was too late.

Therefore, the emperor actually wanted to meet Qin Feng, who claimed to be the only son of Princess Pingyang.

Recognizing a nephew is naturally another blessing from God in terms of human relations. However, the emperor was forced to understand the sinful conspiracy to change the dynasty in advance during that blunder, which can be regarded as Qin Feng's merit.

He still remembered that his nephew was dressed in the wind and dust and the fairy spirit drifting away from the world. The eyes of the peach blossoms are full of the world and the world of mortals, and the face is elegant and clear, like the old friend who didn't let the eyebrows go.

Ever since Pingyang left, Li Xu thought that there would never be another arm and foot behind him who could steal the trust card from the chaotic army. To be fair, he took back a female princess who was well-versed in three strategies, five understandings and six secrets, and gave him Qin Feng, who was brilliant in one step and nine in one step, and kept his emperor's position forever.

As soon as he saw it, he believed that this son must have a connection with Pingyang, and when he verified the token, he was convinced.

Li Xu thought about it, it turned out that he might have escaped the big hat of a "king of subjugation" by chance, and said ten thousand steps back, even if he is really the son of destiny with auspiciousness in his body and does not subjugate this country for a while, it will last thousands of years Will his history be written like this in future history books?

Doing nothing and loathing work?

Or did he criticize him as an unprecedented gap between the rise and fall of the dynasty?

Li Xu didn't care what the history books would say about him. Anyway, when he was young, he kidnapped his father and killed his brother. These two stains cannot be shaken off.

But that is different from subjugation.

The former Emperor Taizong ascended to the throne by murdering his father and brothers, but he worked hard to rule a generation of prosperity. Historians of later generations have only praised his achievements, and rarely mentioned his cruel black history.

Li Xu originally thought that he could learn a little bit from that Emperor Taizong, but he didn't want to, he almost followed in the footsteps of the former king who subjugated the country.

It was from Qin Feng's return that Li Xi seemed to be pulled back to the real bustling world from a drama where the people of the country live in peace and contentment. Everything he saw and heard became worse day by day, but if this Being informed in advance, it is always easier to accept than to be caught off guard when entering a chain of wars and disasters. He has prepared and planned, at least he can reluctantly point out this country like a person who knows the secrets of heaven. Good luck.

A happy event that has already been known for a long time is not a surprise, and a disaster that has been foreseen for a long time is not considered a bad thing.

As it is now.

As the emperor, Li Xu comforted himself with kindness, one step ahead of others, and began to think about what was left to be done after this matter was over.

The emperor sat on the throne, ecstasy and unfathomable, without anger and prestige, but the people kneeling below were all frightened and limp.

Including the Empress Concubine Lu, a group of concubines and courtiers were kneeling on the ground, shivering neatly, and the phoenix crown and pearl hairpin looked like dust-covered fish eyes, no longer the demeanor of the mother. And favor the elegance of the harem.

A group of people waited to cry and did not dare to make a sound, and did not dare to challenge their grievances. They lined up and grabbed the ground with their heads, hoping to see the sky from now on.

The power of the sky is difficult to understand, and the sacred heart is unpredictable. No one knows whether the emperor is so angry that he becomes calm, or if he has known the cause and effect and is ready to make a decisive decision.

The emperor thought about it, but the expression on his face loosened more than a little, and he actually showed a smile with unknown meaning but enough to make one's hair stand on end.

This time it was so good that even the little eunuch who was serving beside him accidentally looked up and was trembling with fright.

The whole palace seemed to be completely frozen by the heart-wrenching winter cold, not to speak out, not even to breathe.

Gao Cai went back and forth in a hurry, sweating all over these days, but Eunuch Gao, who has always been a transparent heart, was stunned when he entered the palace gate. The terrified masters and slaves, and their unfathomable emperor unexpectedly remembered something interesting, sitting there smiling blankly.

Gao Cai: "..."

Maybe there really is some kind of technique of disgusting victory in the palace, but it's just that someone else cast the curse this time.

Eunuch Gao's head was dripping with sweat, whether it was hot or cold, and he thought to himself, this emperor... was taken away by the Ninth Young Master, or was he cursed out of his soul by the Ninth Young Master?

Eunuch Gao felt that whether it was him who was in a hurry, or the two heirs who were in a hurry, the ones who were in a hurry were a little bit overstepped. You see, the serious master is doing well!

Counting from the day when Eunuch Gao was qualified as the head of the palace, it had been decades, and it was only today that he experienced for the first time that "the emperor is not in a hurry to kill eunuchs". .

Gao Cai was speechless at the gate of the palace for a long while, walked up to Li Xu with small steps, and waved away the little eunuch who was so frightened that he didn't understand why he was about to cry. The character called out in a low voice: "Your Majesty."

Li Xu was finally called back to Hun'er by this sound, and the smile didn't dissipate before he suddenly turned back to Men'er, and calmly adjusted the imperial majesty of "I'm very angry", and frowned: "How?"

Gao Cai: "..."

Gao Cai was choked up by the emperor's face-changing skills, which were three points better than those who appeared on stage, so he could only pretend to follow suit: "Your majesty, the palace gate has been sealed according to your order, and an order has been sent to Duke Song."

The Empress and Concubine Lu were both startled. Xiao Kui, the Duke of Song, was in charge of the forbidden army in the capital. What does it mean to say that Duke Song is in charge at this time?

Is the emperor going to clear his side of the king himself? !

Li Xu seemed to be in a hurry, and glared at Gao Cai angrily, but didn't respond.

But Gao Cai understood the meaning of this look, and said firstly: "Return to the emperor, the son of Xiao Yu and the second son of Prince Su have entered the palace, and they are waiting at the gate of the palace. Do you want... to send the two sons in?"

Li Xu waved his hand: "What are they doing here? Let them wait!"

Gao Cai responded.

Li Xu snorted coldly, then stood up abruptly, pointed at the empress and concubine Lu who were kneeling on the ground and said angrily, "If it wasn't for what happened today, I wouldn't know what kind of things I keep in my harem! You all do it for me The concubine who gave birth to the prince! How dare I catch this kind of messy trick under my nose! Such a virtue? How can I be worthy of raising the prince? Come! Pass the decree! Send the second prince to the Empress Dowager’s Palace, and the eldest son of the emperor will not be allowed to enter the Changchun Palace again !"

Before the words finished, there was a long shout from outside the palace, "Father, please calm down", and then a young prince rushed in. It was Li Mingxun, the eldest son of the emperor who had just been ordered not to enter the Changchun Palace.

As soon as the eldest son of the emperor entered the palace gate, he grabbed the ground with his head: "Father! I know that my father is the worst kind of dirty tricks, but there is still something strange about this matter. I trust the mother and the mother, and they will not be so confused. Ah Father!"

Li Xu was silent for a moment, then suddenly pointed at Concubine Lu, who was kneeling on the ground and her face had faded long ago, and was furious: "Okay! You have raised a good son! How dare you contradict me in public! That's great!" He waved his hand as he spoke. : "Empress Concubine Lu is imprisoned in each palace, and the eldest son of the emperor is confined to Zhongcui Palace! Waiting for my fate!"
