112. Chapter One Hundred and Twelve
Li Tianying, who was personally ordered by the Supreme Emperor to be imprisoned in the royal palace to copy books, was not in the Zhongshun palace at this time.
"Brother, how did I perform in front of everyone just now? I have to live carefully every day for ten years. It's almost ruined me!" Li Tianying said with a slutty look.
Because of the age of the three brothers Li Tianjin, Li Tianlang and Li Tianying, they chose to leave the palace to build a mansion. After careful selection, the three brothers' mansions were not far away. It was really not far away! There were only three royal palaces of the three brothers on the street, but the distance between a wall was closer than the former Duke Rong and Duke Ningbo.
After the failure to fight for the throne, Li Tianjin and Li Tianying had to act like giving up on themselves and spending money to reduce the subsequent liquidation and investigation. In the first few years, their open contact was reduced, and they secretly arranged for their confidants to dig a secret passage underground in Prince Zhongjing's Mansion and Prince Zhongshun's Mansion to facilitate contact.
Sitting in his study room, he shut up a group of servants, leaving only one confidant outside to guard him.
Li Tianjin looked at his brother's excited chatter with a smile. Since Xiaojiu... he hasn't seen Xiaojiu so happy for many years. It's all his fault that he is useless! He can't protect Xiaojiu, and even Xiaojiu has to feel wronged as if he is walking on thin ice for so many years.
"Brother, have you ever seen Lao Qi look so dark, and he looks like he is telling his worries, but he has to force his face to smile!? I'm so laughing so hard!!" Li Tianying had no awe for the seventh brother who was last on the throne.
As the Emperor expected at the beginning, since the current emperor, the seventh prince, Li Tianjie, had never publicly stood up and competed for the throne with other brothers. He endured it for twenty-eight years. Although he had scheming, scheming, and methods, if the Emperor had not pushed him from behind the scenes to the public when he was crowned king, I am afraid that no one would have expected that the seventh prince, who was disabled and silent on weekdays, would have been fighting for the throne.
Therefore, in Li Tianying's eyes, Lao Qi was just a timid and lucky guy. While the eldest and second brother died, the ninth brother was harmed by Li Tianyan's shameless person. After the father sent Jia Lian to deal with Li Tianyan, he was forced to put Lao Qi on the throne without any other candidates.
"Okay." Seeing that his younger brother was so excited, Li Tianjin had to say something and stop him a little.
The starling said, and Li Tianying quickly suppressed his excited heart and calmed down to listen to his brother's words, but the smile on his face still magnified involuntarily.
"You just passed by, open your mouth, shut up, be careful that he will find you bad luck later." Li Tianjin reminded.
"Old Qi is soft-hearted, so I'm not afraid of him!" Li Tianying didn't care. Anyway, the worst situation is just like now. How bad can you go? Could that timid guy and Emperor Taizong of Tang dare to kill his younger brother?
"The seventh son is so proud of his face. Don't be too arrogant to impeach the censor. After all, he is the one sitting on that chair now." Li Tianjin advised bitterly.
Li Tianying hummed in disappointment, "If it weren't for the shameless villain Li Tianyan, he would have been the emperor long ago! We brothers don't need to worry about this and that now!" He was very angry.
Li Tianjin did not take his anger like his younger brother, and he saw it very clearly.
According to the situation back then, the prince and the eldest son were dead, and only Xiaojiu and Laosi were able to take office. At that time, Lao Qi was just a so-called man in their eyes. He, Xiaojiu and Xiaoshisan brothers have always been in the same lineage and storm. If he was Laosi, he would choose to threaten him, and any of Xiaojiu or Xiaoshi would threaten the other two.
Afterwards, before the reinforcements of his father arrived, as long as he made up his mind to kill Lao Qi, or even... then who else can compete with him as the position of crown prince or even the emperor?
The fifth brother Li Tianqi? Stop making trouble! Instead of letting a son who read Confucianism who is a ruthless son who is a son who is a son or a son who is a son or a son or a son or a son or a son or a son or a son or a son or a son who is a son or a son or a son who is a man of a man or a son or a son or a son who is a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of
However, the "stupid" lives much better now than those of them smart people!
Li Tianjin smiled bitterly and reminded him, "Since my father issued a clear order to keep you from the mansion, if you are bored, I will send someone to call the opera troupe to the mansion to sing the opera for you, and don't cause trouble for the time being. After today, I think Dongchang and others have already set their sights on us."
Li Tianying responded with a big thorn, "Brother, don't worry! I'm just pretending to be a playboy in the past ten years! My brother, I've been very experienced in the past ten years!"
After hearing my younger brother's words, Li Tianjin, who was thoughtful, felt a little guilty again.
After a pause, he uneasy reminded him: "Drink less alcohol recently, don't be as close to women as you like. The medicine prescribed by Doctor Sun is bitter, but you have to drink a bowl of good medicine sooner or later. I have already told Fushou to keep an eye on you!" Fushou is the personal eunuch who grew up with Li Tianying since childhood.
When Li Tianying, who had been in high spirits, heard this topic, her face suddenly changed, she pursed her lips and said nothing.
Li Tianjin called out worriedly: "Xiao Shi..."
Feeling his brother's concern, Li Tianying smiled with difficulty: "Forget it! My body is ruined! No magic pill is useless! It's not like drinking wine now..."
Li Tianjin rarely lowered his face and scolded anxiously: "Nonsense! What's the use of abolishing me? Doctor Sun said, as long as you are good..."
"As long as I take good care of myself, I might have a chance to improve in the future!" Li Tianying interrupted him and said.
He slapped the table suddenly, his expression was excited, and his chest was undulating: "From the future!? When will it be? One year!? Two years!? Ten years!? One hundred years!? Have a chance!? What other chance can I have??"
Li Tianjin was speechless for a moment.
After a slowdown, as if he realized that he should not lose his temper with his brother, Li Tianying tried hard to calm down and said with a wry smile: "Brother, I know the best of my own body. Even though the slut that concubine Gong discovered the poison on me early and got the masterpiece of Doctor Sun, she could only save my life. As for the offspring, she didn't have to think about it anymore."
The Concubine Gong in his words is Li Tianjie's biological mother, the current emperor's mother, that is, the current empress dowager who lives in Cining Palace.
It's also a messy thing to talk about.
Li Tianying has a noble birth, and his mother is second only to the late Empress Xiaoyuan. She can be regarded as the crown prince and the leader of all the sons in terms of identity.
Concubine Wen was born in Changxing Hou Mansion. She was spoiled since childhood, and she was accustomed to being fed with luxury and food. The Supreme Emperor has always liked her straightforward temperament. Concubine Gong served the Supreme Emperor since she was a child and grew up with the Supreme Emperor. She is gentle and virtuous. The Supreme Emperor treats her very differently.
Although when Li Tianjie's ambition was not revealed in the past, Concubine Gong and Li Tianjie seemed to be fighting or robbing, and the people in the harem all tried to win over them, Concubine Wen never showed goodwill to Concubine Gong. Not only that, she also sarcastically mocked Concubine Gong from time to time. Although Concubine Gong did not cry directly to the Supreme Emperor, the Supreme Emperor who had heard of him had asked Concubine Wen about Concubine Wen.
Concubine Wen choked the Supreme Emperor: "I have a straight temper, but I just can't stand her petty look." In fact, I can't stand her virtuous and generous appearance, but she is just a little concubine, pretending to be virtuous and generous, thinking that she is the queen of the central palace!?
Concubine Gong was born as a palace maid and had no family to rely on. She gave birth to a "disabled" prince, and she was inevitably too cautious in every move. The Supreme Emperor was born into a marquis family and could not stand it. It was normal for Concubine Gong to be on par with her, so she had to let Concubine Gong tolerate her more.
The Supreme Emperor spoke, what can Concubine Gong do? He had to respond with a smile. Faced with the countless times of Concubine Wen's reluctance to give face and embarrassment, he could only endure it. He endured it like this, and once he endured it, he would endure it for more than 30 years!
Now that his own son has turned over and become the emperor, he has become the empress dowager. Faced with his enemies who have accumulated deep grudges, Concubine Gong, will the empress dowager choose to ignore past grudges and eliminate grudges with a smile? A joke! Of course, there will be revenge and revenge!
In the past ten years, she knew that the Supreme Emperor was there, and her son's throne had not been firmly considered, so she kept suppressing the opportunity. But Concubine Wen... Concubine Wen is too arrogant now. She is obviously just her defeated general, but she does not know how to restrain herself. She is still pretending to be the concubine and is ashamed of the Empress Dowager everywhere.
Finally, after being sacrificed by Concubine Wen Gui in front of the inner wife again, the Empress Dowager could no longer bear it!
As both women, the Empress Dowager knew very well what she did to make Concubine Wen the most heart-wrenching and regretful.
That’s right! She chose to take action against Concubine Wen’s heart - Li Tianying.
Even though the Supreme Emperor was pressing on his head, with the silent grace that had been secretly silently for decades, the empress dowager was unpredictable to hide in the harem.
When Li Tianying entered the palace to meet with Concubine Wen, Li Tianying took the snacks of the Broken Jinfugu Pills without any awareness.
Duanjin Fugu Pills are made of more than a dozen poisons such as Thunderbolt Vine, Caowu, Red Alum, and Lead Pill. Those with the intravenous vomiting, spasms, coma, suffocation, and blood circulation stops, causing painful death.
If it weren't for the fact that Concubine Wen's confidant, Doctor Sun Zhongxian, who happened to be on duty and rushed to Xiangkun Palace as soon as possible after the poison was ejaculated, I was afraid that Li Tianying would be killed immediately on the spot and died in Concubine Wen's arms!
However, even though Doctor Sun came in time, the poison of Duanjin Fugu Pills in the snacks had invaded the liver and kidneys. After trying his best to apply acupuncture and use various precious medicinal materials, they barely brought back Li Tianying's life. They were helpless to do anything to the severely damaged liver and kidneys. Doctor Sun said he was powerless and could only rely on medicine to maintain it.
The prince of a dignified country was almost killed by poisoning in the palace. The Supreme Emperor and the Emperor were naturally furious and ordered a thorough investigation. Although the Empress Dowager was cautious enough, all the palace servants who had handled snacks, the Imperial Kitchen, either died or disappeared. They did not give anything that they had their own identity. Sometimes they did not have to look at the evidence to know who the murderer was.
Even though the Empress Dowager was stubborn and refused to admit it, the Supreme Emperor, who looked like a torch, still got angry in the Cining Palace, and asked Dai Quan to secretly kill all the palace servants in the Cining Palace, and ordered the Empress Dowager not to step out of the palace gate before copying the "Sutra of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow" three times. Then, he could only hold his breath and choose to protect the Empress Dowager, blocked all the news at the same time, and pressed tightly to prevent the slightest wind from being exposed to the palace.
Therefore, outsiders only knew that the Empress Dowager had fasted and chanted Buddha's name recently, but did not see others. Prince Zhongshun was pleased by the Emperor and stayed in the palace for a short time, but he did not know that the Empress Dowager was punished to copy scriptures and Li Tianying's poison had not yet been cleared, so he stayed in the palace to recuperate.
Li Tianjin felt uncomfortable when he saw his younger brother's bitter look.
He punched Huanghuali's table with a punch and said gritting his teeth: "If it weren't for the mother's son, how could the little concubine Gong be the queen mother? She used to be just a palace maid who was serving her father's side! A concubine who was born as a palace maid dared to harm the prince of this dynasty. If those palace maids had not died cleanly, I would have to report the order of the clan to expose this bastard in public so that neither the father nor the seventh brother could protect her!" In terms of origin, Li Tianjin's mother was also the daughter of a fifth-rank official, far better than the queen mother.
The Great Zhou Dynasty set up a clan mansion, which controls the royal family's family's family's family's most respected elders have always been appointed as clan man Ling. The royal family's most respected descendants are really proved to be the queen mother, clan man Ling will never be favored because she is the emperor's mother. She will definitely summon a group of royal elders and force the queen mother. The emperor will give everyone an explanation. A woman of a foreign surname! God knows that you can attack the prince of this dynasty today, and will you attack other clan members tomorrow!? What if the old thing about Empress Lü in the early Han Dynasty is revived? If the emperor is a little weak, clan man Ling will definitely dare to call out to depose the empress dowager or let the empress dowager "dead in an emergency"!
"That bitch Concubine Gong dares to attack you and harm your descendants! My brother will definitely avenge you! My brother wants her mother and son to be uneasy, and he will pay for his blood debts and blood!" Li Tianjin's expression was terrible, and he hated the Empress Dowager in his heart.
He was almost a little bit late, and after losing his ninth brother, he lost his tenth brother again!
If Doctor Sun was not on duty that day...If Doctor Sun was one step slower...If Brother Ten had left his exercise on weekdays...
If one of the processes is slightly worse, Li Tianjin will lose his last brother, and he is deeply afraid.
"Brother, I believe you." Li Tianying pressed his hand on the back of Li Tianjin's hand that was clenched into a fist.
Taking a deep breath, Li Tianjin took all his anger and hatred, and his kind and easy-going smile returned to his face.
"I've had this incident today. You go back to the house and sort out all your subordinates. If you find out what's wrong, don't make a statement, just keep everyone attentive. Maybe it's useful in the future. I'll go to the palace to talk to Wen Gui's mother and Hui's mother to avoid them worrying." He explained gently. Li Tianjin's mother Xu Meiren had passed away several years ago. In addition, she was taken care of by Concubine Wen and Concubine Hui since she was a child, and she was like brothers to Li Tianlang and Li Tianying, so he had a very close relationship with Concubine Wen and Concubine Hui.
Li Tianying nodded obediently and returned home through the tunnel.
Seeing that the tenth brother had left, Li Tianjin slowly picked up the already cold tea, took a sip, and felt the coldness was in his heart, leaving a full sense of bitterness.
There was an emotionless smile on the corner of his mouth.
It is not time to provoke Lao Qi's dissatisfaction with Li Lian head-on.
Having the father sits in the formation will not have any effect, but what the tenth brother said this morning was enough to lay a thorn in the heart of Lao Qi.
Even if the father abdicated for ten years, the power he had in his hands was still too great.
Li Tianjin narrowed his eyes.
The Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War have recently been vacant. It seems that he has to help Lao Qi well and arrange for Lao Qi to take office.
Li Tianjin rubbed the edge of the teacup like a playful thought.
Power is charming. People who have never tasted power will never know how strong the temptation of power is!
If Lao Qi got the power to compete with his father, would he still be the good wooden puppet who let the Supreme Emperor point to the east and dare not go west?
If Lao Qi, who was quarrel in his heart, had to attack his father's most precious Li Lian, and I was the only one who was used to saying that he would destroy Lao Qi in anger? Or would he send someone to break Lao Qi's minions one by one?
If the seventh son was so worried that he was overwhelmed and made trouble, which made his father dislike and even decided to depose the emperor, then can the "Empress Dowager" still remain arrogant and mother-in-law like the world?
When the mother and son lose power, will Li Tianjin let them go?
Li Tianjin sneered.
Brother Qi, don’t blame your brother. If you want to blame, just blame your mother who is dragging her back!
As for Li Lian? Anyway, Ninth Brother was mixed with mixed feelings for him back then. If he could defeat him this time, he would just treat him as a small trick on his younger brother and let him breathe a sigh of relief. If he couldn't defeat him, he would be so lucky. Go down earlier and talk to him and reminisce about the past!
Li Tianjin seemed to think of something funny and smiled gently.
The lotus flowers are blooming very well this year. I think the lotus crispy and the lotus seeds should be particularly crispy and sweet.
If Xiaojiu was still there, he and Xiaoshi would definitely fight for the lotus crisps and the lotus seeds. Then, both of them ate three large bowls, and lay on the couch like a pig, humming and screaming. Finally, he would drag two unwilling brothers to the Imperial Garden for two rounds to digest food.
Li Tianjin smiled, but a trace of crystal clearness flashed across the corner of his eyes.
He looked at the sky, but he was afraid that someone had already spread to the palace in the morning, so he should go to the palace to talk to Wen Gui's mother and Hui's mother.
I stood up and pushed the door out, and I was the gentle Eight Wise Kings again.
Chapter completed!
