198. Chapter 198 A gap between brothers
At first, when Li Miao heard Chen Hao's speculation, he only had some doubts and didn't pay much attention to it. However, what happened next made him suspicious. Since his condition gradually improved, he could clearly feel the unfamiliarity of his brother Li Miao.
and estrangement.
This incident was not enough to worry Li Wei, but the subsequent fainting made Li Wei feel a sense of crisis. Then he remembered Chen Hao's words before leaving. This trip to Luoyang, the eastern capital, was to treat illnesses and stay away from the capital.
, I hope I can see the trick in this clearly.
In the mansion, Chen Hao and Li Wei had a very pleasant conversation. When he learned that His Highness King Yong put excrement in the carriage, Chen Hao couldn't help laughing. He thought that King Yong was really a young man, and he was really playful.
Not small. While the two were drinking tea, Li Miao asked with a solemn face: "Although I have written a memorial to my father to arrive in the East Capital tomorrow morning, I don't know when the imperial army escorting me and the emperor's sister will arrive in the East."
All!"
"Your Highness, there is no need to wait any longer, the Imperial Army has all died!" Chen Hao said to himself with a gloomy face.
"What? All dead?" Li Min was stunned by Chen Hao's words. The teacup in his face tilted and he didn't even notice the tea stains spilling out.
Chen Hao took a faint sip of tea, and then responded helplessly: "Yes, according to reports, there were no survivors, and there were more than a hundred corpses of thieves on the spot..."
After hearing this, Li Min's face turned gloomy and extremely ugly. Although he was young, as a royal child, he naturally would not simply think that this incident was purely an accidental robber. Even if hundreds of imperial guards were in trouble, they would not be able to do anything.
If the army was wiped out, someone must have had the news and set up an ambush accordingly.
Thinking of this, Li Min looked at Chen Hao gratefully. If he hadn't changed the carriage when leaving Beijing, he must have been in danger today. Finally, he took a deep breath and said gratefully: "If it weren't for Brother Chen's golden cicada's escape from the shell,
Plan, otherwise I would have been killed on the way!"
"Your Highness must be polite. It is Chen's duty to share His Highness's worries!" Chen Hao responded humbly. Although the two of them were on good terms, etiquette must not be discarded.
Since Li Chen allowed Li Wei and Li Long to travel to the Eastern Capital, they did not leave until half a month later. During this period, Li Chen had already sent an order to Luoyang, the Eastern Capital, asking Chen Hao to stay in the Eastern Capital and give him a good reception. After receiving the order, Chen Hao
A trace of anxiety arose in my heart, thinking that if my original guess was true, His Highness King Yong might be in danger.
Because some people want King Yong to suffer from a terminal illness and die slowly, which means they have great ambitions. Now that King Yong comes to Luoyang to seek treatment from him, he will be blocked in every possible way, otherwise the previous efforts will be in vain, but the most effective
The solution is to start on the way.
Although he had a pretty good relationship with King Yong Li Miao, he didn't care about everything. But if this danger happened near Luoyang, then it would be the end of his stay in the eastern capital. The two princes and princesses were killed.
Near Luoyang, his crime of dereliction of duty in staying behind in the eastern capital must have been unintentional.
Therefore, whether in public or private life, he had to think of a perfect plan to ensure that the two of them arrived in Luoyang safely. Only then did Yongtai Company send the two of them to Luoyang in advance in the form of a caravan, but what Chen Hao did not expect was
This group of people did not commit crimes near Luoyang.
However, Chen Hao was also quite shocked that all the imperial troops were killed this time. Chen Hao never expected that these people would be so cruel. Fights between princes have existed since ancient times, so how could Chen Hao not know about it if he was well versed in classics and history.
If the King Yong in front of him had not appeared, he would have died of illness a year and a half later. This second prince, who was deeply loved by Li Chen, was actually crowned Prince Jinghuai by Li Chen after his death, not the crown prince.
But he was posthumously named the prince, which is enough to show Li Chen's favor for this prince.
As for the future emperor, Crown Prince Li Piao, if he said that he had no thoughts or dissatisfaction, he would not believe it even if he killed Chen Hao. As a mediocre ruler in the future, how could Li Piao not be envious of his virtuous and capable younger brother?
It is self-evident that the root of all these things must be inextricably related to the Prince of the East Palace.
Li Min gloomily drank a cup of tea, and then said in a deep voice: "In Brother Chen's opinion, who did this? Could it be that it was really the work of thieves?"
After hearing this, Chen Hao did not answer immediately. Instead, he raised his eyes and looked at Li Min and said solemnly: "Your Highness already has a care in his heart, so why let Chen say it?"
This rhetorical question made Li Wei feel a little embarrassed but also smiled deeply. At this moment, he did have concerns in his heart, but he was unwilling to accept it. At first, he had doubts about the prince's attitude, and then he
This encirclement and interception made him unable to accept the fact for a moment, and he could not accept that his imperial brother who had always loved him would be so cruel to him.
"At this moment, I still don't believe that this matter has anything to do with the imperial brother!" Li Min shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry. This matter is still unclear, and the various twists and turns are difficult to conclude. However, no matter what, Chen believes that neither right nor wrong will escape the torture of time!" Seeing Li Min's hesitation, Chen Hao comforted him.
"Brother Chen is right, I hope you and I have misinterpreted this matter! However, no matter what, it was Brother Chen who saved my life. Please accept my respect here!" After hearing Chen Hao's words of persuasion, I felt in my heart.
He felt a lot relieved, so he stood up and saluted Chen Hao to thank him for saving his life.
How dare Chen Hao accept such a great gift from Li Wei, so he even said that he did not dare to return the gift. In the end, the two of them looked at each other and smiled. After that, the two got along very well in Dongdu, during which Li Wei humbly learned calligraphy from Chen Hao.
Under Hao's trinity treatment, Li Wei's thirst syndrome was effectively controlled, which made Li Wei happy and even more grateful to Chen Hao.
As for the second princess Li Long who came with him, Chen Hao never paid much attention to him. During this period, he only went to the hotel to greet the princess in a symbolic way, and then ignored the princess. Several times when Li Long moved to the stay-at-home residence, Chen Hao always ignored her.
He refused on the grounds of illness
Outside the door. In the end, I couldn't keep using my illness as an excuse, so I used official duties to avoid this princess who made Chen Hao hate him. Everything in Dongdu is as safe as ever.
But at this moment, the capital was in quite a state of shock.
It was the usual morning meeting in the Xuanzheng Hall, and the usual debate was endless. At this moment, the ministers were discussing a memorial played by Wei Mo. What Wei Mo was playing was that the blockage of the Huaihe River often flooded countless fertile fields around it, and there were even worse cases.
It caused a flood, so Wei Mo asked Li Chen to put the matter on the agenda so that the hidden danger could be solved as soon as possible to benefit the people.
While the courtiers were arguing endlessly, an eunuch hurried in from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, we are urgent for eight hundred miles..."
After hearing this, Li Chen couldn't help but frown, wondering whether there was a change in the military situation at the border, or... At this moment, he didn't have time to think about it, so he asked the chamberlain to present the memorial. After Li Chen slowly opened it, within a moment Li Chen raised his hands
