Just a son-in-law
The side hall of Cining Palace.
The Sixth Prince was lying on the bed, his eyes were closed tightly, he was dying and his face was pale.
The Queen Mother stood guard by the side with a worried look on her face.
Of course, this was all arranged by the two mothers together. There was a personal eunuch who informed them in advance.
Dr. Jiang used crazy acupuncture and finally "saved" the sixth prince, and he faintly woke up.
The Queen Mother was holding a bowl of hot ginger soup, blowing on it and carefully feeding it to the Sixth Prince.
Eunuch Liu shouted crisply outside the door, "The Emperor is here!"
Emperor Li Beichen rushed in with a long, dusty stride, sat on the edge of the bed, and asked anxiously, "Lao Liu, how do you feel?"
I thought to myself, you are the sixth child, and you have been using cruel tricks since you were a child to please your father, emperor and mother. I am always the one who gets beaten, and you are always the one who eats sweets.
The point is, the old mother takes advantage of her young son and never gets tired of it.
Li Beihong's pale lips trembled, and it took him a long time to speak, and he said angrily:
"Brother Imperial, I'm fine. In order to repay the emperor for saving my life, I'm willing to do anything. It's my fault that I'm worried about my brother."
After saying that, he smiled, and his smile was extremely bright, but why, it was still very sad.
"What nonsense are you talking about! I've already said that when the three of us, mother and son, are together, don't be submissive. You are my brother."
Li Beichen laughed angrily, staring at Li Beihong's lips where his mother's foundation was applied, thinking, are you kidding me?
"Look, look, those women of yours have killed your brother so quickly. You have to take care of your harem." The Queen Mother was not the Queen Mother at this time, she was just an ordinary mother.
"I take care of it, I take care of it. How can I take care of it?" Li Beichen set an example and stopped calling himself "I".
"The queen is there, her father, and her brother are all there. There are nine towns in the north, and the Xie family guards two towns. Over the years, the Tatars have been harassing the people on the border, and internal natural disasters have been frequent. We can only endure it again and again, and take care of it first.
People’s livelihood, what can be done?”
Whether it is officialdom or imperial power, in essence it is just about constantly controlling the balance.
His younger brother Li Beihong sighed in cooperation and said very weakly,
"Oh, it's so difficult for my brother. My wife is a tigress, and she won't let her live a married life. She feels like a folk son-in-law. The royal family has sacrificed too much for the country, the country, and the country. It's too difficult."
"You" the emperor was furious for a moment, that is, this sixth brother dared to talk to him like this.
"It's just, brother, don't worry too much, the sixth brother has his own clever plan." After saying that, his younger brother Li Beihong smiled evilly, wiped off the foundation on his mouth, lifted the quilt, and sat up.
"You have a conscience and know to visit your brother first. If you value sex over friends, visit your concubines first, and I won't care about it."
"Oh? Is that so? Then I came to the right place." Li Beichen suddenly stretched out his palm and hit his brother on the chest. "Asking you to act makes me anxious. How old are you, and you still do this kind of thing?
Bitter meat scheme.”
"Oh, mother, you hurt me so much. My brother hit me again! Of course, wait until I get a wife! I will use the meat trick with my wife."
The younger brother Li Beihong smiled and took the ginger soup handed over by the Queen Mother, "Brother, no matter what, I saved your little wife. Don't you thank me."
"I heard that you saved a maid, not a concubine." Li Beichen said angrily, "Tell me what you want to thank me for."
"I want to lead troops to guard Datong Town." His younger brother Li Beihong drank the ginger soup in one go and said in a loud voice, "Mr. Jiang, have another bowl, it's delicious!"
Li Beichen was stunned for a moment. What he had said before was that he was discussing that his sixth brother would marry the legitimate daughter of General Feng Yongzheng, the mighty general who guarded Datong Town. How could it turn into that he would go directly to guard the border.
"Are you serious, Sixth Brother?" Although Li Beichen was secretly happy, he was also a little uneasy, "This is not the only way. If it doesn't work, just become husband and wife with the Queen. The Queen has her eldest son. Thank you.
Naturally, I feel at ease back home.”
In fact, having the sixth brother lead troops to guard the border is probably the best way for the royal family to defend the northern border. The border guarding is best done by the royal family, especially his own younger brother.
"No, Brother Huang. According to the news that my spies came back, the Xie family may have begun to have connections with the Tatars and have a tendency to rebel, but there is no clue yet. If the father and brother join forces and go to the Tatar side,
A large area in the north will collapse."
"But if that's the case, it would be more dangerous for you to go alone. I don't agree." Li Beichen suddenly used "I" again, indicating that he was considering the monarch and his ministers, not his brother.
"No, I'm not alone. I made an appointment with Third Brother. He will go to Xuanfu Town, and I will go to Datong Town to defend Xiejia Second Town. If they dare to rebel, Third Brother and I will send troops nearby to suppress them, and work together to destroy the Xiejia Town.
." Li Beihong said with a smile, "How is it, brother, are you very touched?"
"It's more than touching. If you have a brother like this, what else can I ask for? Brothers working together can cut through gold!"
Li Beichen looked at his younger brother with shining eyes. He knew that although his younger brother was always naughty and did incredible things, he was always a man of his word.
He knew that Lao San and Lao Six were real.
For some reason, Li Beichen remembered that night, when he stood in the shadows and watched the conversation between the two brothers while they were drinking on the wall of the imperial garden. That night, he had murderous intentions in his heart.
Now it seems that maybe I am too suspicious. At least I shouldn't doubt my brother.
"However, we have a request." Li Beihong raised a smirk on his lips, "Brother, every good thing comes with a price."
"You can ask for whatever you want! As long as you want it as a younger brother or as a big brother, I'll give it to you!" Li Beichen said with a smile, his eyes seemed a little moist.
"What if it's the throne? Can you let me sit down instead? Let my brother feel the feeling of being the supreme king!" His younger brother Li Beihong teased.
The atmosphere suddenly became strange.
The Queen Mother was about to scold Xiaoliu for talking too much and losing his mind, but Li Beichen took his brother's hand and said sincerely:
"Brother, if you want it, this country belongs to you. If I were my brother, I would guard the border for you. This is our responsibility as princes. This world belongs to you and my brother."
The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief.
"Seriously?!" My younger brother Li Beihong clapped his hands, extremely excited, his eyes shining like stars in the sky, "Then let me do it tonight."
"What would you do if it were you tonight?" Li Beichen asked with interest.
Li Beihong touched his chin and patted his thigh, "Of course I'll go sleep with your concubine."
"Who are you looking for?" Li Beichen's heart tightened, fearing that he would say that name. It was at this moment that he realized the name that first came to his mind.
"Find the person you were thinking of just now." My younger brother Li Beihong suddenly said in a serious tone, "Brother, you just said that you can give it to me in the world. I just asked you for a woman. Are you reluctant to part with it?"
Li Beichen felt his heart tightening, as if something was stuck in his throat, "What about the third brother's request? I also want a woman?"
It feels weird.
