Rebirth of the Son Raiders

Prince Jing's momentum was like a bamboo, which brought tremendous pressure on Tianjing and caused panic among countless people.

As if with the help of a god, King Jing's Chongming Army, with the help of an even more terrifying "Heavenly Thunder", is like a heavenly soldier and general, invincible.

Prince Xun, who was so happy because he basically controlled the imperial city, couldn't laugh at all.

After killing the third and fifth princes and other royal families, he took the opportunity to kill or imprison a group of courtiers who supported them. Dare to act rashly.

But the rest of the courtiers were not all Prince Xun's people, coupled with King Jing's pressing every step of the way and King Qi's eye-catching eyes, there were endless voices of private discussions, and the prohibition never stopped.

"How did Prince Jing get the sky thunder? Why is it so much more powerful than the one used by the Xichang Army?"

"It is said that the west city resisted in the corner, but it didn't even survive a thunderbolt. The general defending the city, General Xue Shi, stood on the wall, and was blown to nothing in the end!"

"The same is true for Fude and Baoning. Even if the guards are loyal to the emperor, they will not be able to resist the offensive of the thunder... If this continues, King Jing's Chongming army may not be able to break through all the defense lines going north in ten days. Straight into Tianjing!"

"Originally, the names of Prince Jing Jinqin were Qing Junfang and Wei Tianjing, but now Prince Xun is also included in the list of Qing Junfang."

"Now that Prime Minister is imprisoned, Prince Xun has killed a few adults who are unwilling to draft an imperial edict for him... This person who is not righteous will naturally be caught by others."

"Shh, don't say any more, if they hear it, I'm afraid it will be like Master Shan and Master Yu, and cause trouble."

……

Gradually, there was a saying in the south that King Daojing had been ordered by an eminent monk, and he was the fate of an emperor, which was extremely precious, so if he had the help of God, even God would help him to accomplish things.

When Li Jingxun heard the news in the palace, he was furious: "What eminent monk gave orders? Master Wujue, the real eminent monk of Huayin Temple, is in Beijing at this time. Why didn't the master say the fate of rebelling against the king? If he is really Emperor Star Fate, why do you want to be a traitor now! It's just nonsense, deceiving the public, and finding an excuse for yourself to commit chaos!"

The confidant of Prince Xun saw that Li Jingxun was furious, and immediately dared not speak. After Li Jingxun got angry for a while, he finally restrained himself and began to ask about Wang Xiang. The wind and cold, the Wang family asked to send a doctor to the prison to treat Wang Xiang."

Although the Wang family has gone through two dynasties and has dealt with many things, the power of the gentry cannot compete with the royal family. Now they have suffered such a catastrophe because of their refusal to recruit. If it were not for the absence of the king, they would have been in chaos long ago.

When Wang Xiang fell ill, the Wang family lost their backbone and could only turn to the second prince who put them in prison for help.

Li Jingxun frowned when he heard the words: "Wang Ji was so strong before, how come he fell ill within two days after entering the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice? Could it be that he wants to use this method to delay time and fight against Gu?"

He had long suspected that the person who sent King Jing and Qi's sons out of Tianjing was Wang Xiang, and even suspected that this imperial teacher wanted to preserve his status as an imperial teacher, so he thought about King Jing or King Qi succeeding to the throne.

If you want to be "righteous and sound", you can't get around the imperial decree, and naturally you can't get around the king's confidant and important court minister.

Although Li Jingxun was dissatisfied with Wang Xiang's attitude, he kept suppressing his temper. Now that the Wang family finally asked for mercy, he felt very happy.

……

His confidantes did not take it seriously when they heard that Li Jingxun doubted Wang Xiang.

No matter how strong Wang Xiang's body is, he is still a man of nearly seventy years... Although the prison of the Ministry of punishment is not as terrible as the imperial prison, it is naturally not a good place for the elderly.

Coupled with the successive deaths of several princes, it is said that Wang Xiang coughed up blood immediately after hearing the news. Seeing that he was extremely sad, it is not impossible for him to suffer from severe blows and become ill.

To put it bluntly, if it weren't for Wang Xiang's health, but for someone else, I'm afraid he would be full of grief and fear now, and his death would not be an exaggeration.

But the confidant didn't dare to "remind" Prince Xun with these words, so he could only tactfully say: "The king begged for the bones a few years ago due to illness. If His Majesty hadn't sent an imperial doctor to treat him, the king probably wouldn't have done so." It's still going... Maybe it's a relapse of the old disease this time?"

Speaking of Wang Xiang's old illness and his resignation to recuperate, Li Jingxun couldn't help but think of the incident that his father frequently called his old ministers back to Beijing a few years ago.

At that time, someone had already proposed to His Majesty the establishment of a reserve, but His Majesty did not express anything.

After a while, Emperor Liang began to recall all the direct and pure ministers around him back to Beijing one after another, including the current imperial historian Zhuang Shunyuan.

At first, everyone didn't realize how this matter had anything to do with Li Chu, and it took careful thought to understand the deep meaning.

Calling Chunchen back to the capital is precisely a sign that His Majesty has moved the idea of ​​establishing a crown prince - he doesn't want anyone to influence his judgment, and he also hopes that the courtiers around him can only obey the orders of the officials and not "collude" with the prince at will.

——But if it is true as everyone guessed, the emperor's father has moved Li Chu's heart since then, why can't he make a decision so long, so that it has developed to this point?

Li Jingxun sometimes thought: If the emperor had made a decision earlier and made people other than the prince stop thinking about it earlier, maybe their brothers would not have come to the point where they are fighting to the death like they are today.

But what he didn't think about was that even if Emperor Liang really chose a successor long ago, as long as the new emperor doesn't take that position for a day, those who were close to that position will never be reconciled and give up.

Or in other words, even if the new emperor takes that position, can the people around him give up completely?

If this completely gave up, then how to explain the behavior of King Jing and King Qi now?

People's desires are always endless, not to mention that they are fighting for the most supreme position in the world, but any hope can trigger endless desires.

"Since the Wang family wants a doctor, let them give it to them. Wang Ji will get well sooner, so I can't shirk it anymore... You ask the Imperial Medical Bureau to send an imperial doctor to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and help Wang Xiang take a good look!"

Li Jingxun failed to force Wang Xiang, but he did not dare to kill Wang Ji directly like killing other ministers.

This former emperor teacher, even His Majesty has to call him a teacher, just like Li Jingxun has not dared to kill the king. Take it down, and then slowly find a way to liquidate it.

In fact, at the beginning, Prince Xun planned to send Wang Ji to the Imperial Prison for a walk, but places like Imperial Prison are not something that everyone can go to if they want.

Without His Majesty's decree, even the Queen Mother or the Crown Prince has no right to send an important minister like Wang Xiang to prison.

Although Li Jingxun succeeded in forcing the palace, he has not really ascended to the throne, so he has no such right.

So he could only settle for the next best thing, and sent Wang Xiang's family to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. He threatened Wang Ji's own life and the life and reputation of the whole family, forcing the other party to "know the current affairs as a hero" as soon as possible. edict.

From Li Jingxun's point of view, he has already made such a concession. If Wang Ji continues to be so stubborn and still unwilling to serve him, then don't blame him for being cruel.

……

After asking about the Prime Minister, Li Jingxun then asked about the situation of the Empress Dowager: "How about Ci'an Palace?"

The confidant bowed and replied: "The Empress Dowager is still recuperating in the bedroom as before, avoiding our people, but this time the Empress Dowager sent a message, saying that she wants to see the Ninth Prince and the other little princes."

The corner of Li Jingxun's mouth curled into a mocking smile: "I don't want to see Gu, but I want to see a few little princes. It seems that the emperor's grandmother is still not satisfied with Gu... Do you think that if the emperor's grandmother only has one grandson left? It's less likely to be distracted and only pamper one person?"

To say which grandson the Empress Dowager treats the best, it is neither the eldest prince who died young nor the youngest sixteenth who died young, but Prince Yu's son Li Jingcheng.

When the crown prince was in Beijing, the queen mother was even closer to Li Jingcheng than to the princes, which made everyone envious.

At that time, the Empress Dowager had many grandchildren, except for Prince Yu's son Li Jingcheng who was special, she treated all the princes equally.

He often asks about their health, cares about their life after the establishment of the mansion, cares about their children, and cares about the relationship between them.

This kind of concern is evenly divided, but it makes people feel less joyful.

The Empress Dowager was of course kind to Li Jingxun in the past, especially when he lost his favor in front of his father for the first time. The Empress Dowager, the grandmother, called Li Jingxun to Ci'an Palace many times to comfort him, so that he would not lose his soul completely. .

Later, he made great contributions in rescuing him in the paddock in the suburbs of Beijing. The Empress Dowager thanked him for putting his father first in a critical moment. Like His Majesty, he was even closer to Li Jingxun than before. He even once thought that he was in the hearts of the Empress Dowager and His Majesty, and finally got along with him. The other princes were different.

However, when Li Jingxun was forced into the palace, he found that the Empress Dowager looked at him with guarded, contemptuous and tired eyes, and then he realized that the so-called intimacy and love was nothing but self-deception.

——If there is only one grandson, the queen mother should not be able to sway left and right. She will not show him face like this, and she will not be thinking about saving her favorite prince to replace him, a grandson who is not pleasing to the eye.

Is it really appropriate to exterminate the other royal families like the new emperor of Yongzhou in order to avoid future troubles?

A cruel and terrifying thought could not be restrained in Li Jingxun's heart.

Everyone was horrified when they heard that Prince Xun mentioned "an emperor's grandson"—His Royal Highness has murderous intentions...and he actually planned to kill all the princes!

Speaking of such a terrible thing, no one dared to answer, and everyone was silent for a while, without making a sound.

In fact, Prince Xun did not have such a tyrannical impression in everyone's minds before this, even his confidants had never seen Li Jingxun like this.

Thinking about it carefully, it is really impossible to tell a definite moment when Prince Xun suddenly changed into a different person, but what they can be sure of is that this change happened in a very short period of time.

……

In fact, when Li Jingxun first heard the news from the palace and wanted to make a decision, he was very hesitant.

Because the father was very majestic in their hearts before, no one dared to challenge his patience and authority, and they could only obey orders honestly-the so-called emperor must die if his ministers die, and the father must die if his son dies. in this way.

But this hesitation did not last for too long. Firstly, time was running out, and there was no time to think carefully and make a step-by-step plan; secondly, his mentality also changed a lot during this period of time.

When their ten princes silently looked at Emperor Liang who lay motionless on the bed and remained silent all day for two months, a feeling gradually arose in their hearts that they had never imagined before.

——It turns out that the father will also grow old, get sick, get injured...and die.

Once such thoughts are born, they can no longer be restrained, making their already restless hearts even more impetuous.

As the days go by, people always want to do something, so as not to waste the noble blood flowing in their body.

When Li Jingxun knew that his "forced palace" came from a "news" that did not exist at all, his first reaction was not fear and regret, but indescribable joy and excitement.

Things went so smoothly, he was glad that he had this "false news" to help him, and finally made up his mind.

Thinking that he is getting closer and closer to the supreme position, how could he not be ecstatic?

However, such joy and excitement did not last long.

Ever since King Jing got the more powerful "Sky Thunder" and marched towards the capital step by step, Li Jingxun's pressure was increasing, and even his temper became more and more irritable day by day. Sometimes even his cronies dared not provoke him rashly. get angry.

But no matter how anxious he was, the situation that was so smooth before was stranded and blocked in various ways. Originally, he wanted to inherit the throne as soon as possible and unite the entire Tianjing so that he could fight against the enemy as one.

Who knew that before Tianjing was fully included in his name, powerful enemies were already approaching the city. In Liangzhou, a huge country, only the rebellious officials and thieves have that fetish in their hands. It is extremely ironic!

During this period of time, Li Jingxun only felt that he was surrounded by trash, and no one could really solve his problems.

Just when Li Jingxun was about to visit Ci'an Palace in person and ask the Queen Mother to come forward to persuade Wang Xiang, someone came in and reported: "Your Highness, the princess said that she has something to ask to see Her Highness."

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Prince Xun's concubine Zhou was personally chosen by His Majesty and the Empress Dowager, with whom she had two daughters and a son.

Her family is a well-known family in Hongyong County that has been passed down for nearly a hundred years. Her father was the minister of the Ministry of Industry at that time, and like Lin Yanhong's uncle Qi Guangyan, he was a senior official of the third rank.

The Ministry of Industry is one of the six ministries, mainly in charge of the system of civil construction of the whole country, the method of using utensils, the method of dredging canals and weirs, and the code of mausoleums for hundreds of millions.

There are a group of skilled craftsmen in Beijing, some are good at building large-scale equipment, while others make some exquisite objects for the royal family.

After King Qi used "Tianlei" for the first time, Jingzhong wanted to know how to make such "magic objects".

It's a pity that these skilled craftsmen have not been able to penetrate the secret of "Sky Thunder", and they have never been able to make such a powerful weapon.

As the head of the Ministry of Industry, Mr. Zhou was obviously troubled and embarrassed by the situation at that time.

Just like the reason why Prince Xun is angry, not only Prince Qi, but Prince Jing also has "Sky Thunder" now, and it is even more powerful "Sky Thunder", but Jingzhong can't do the same thing, this is not a big shame .

The son-in-law is the only one among the princes who is crowned king, and now he is only one step away from the position of the Ninth Five-Year Lord. Lord Zhou naturally hopes to do something to protect Prince Xun, so as to increase the number of Princess Xun and the entire Zhou family. The status of the family in Li Jingxun's heart.

While racking his brains, Mr. Zhou suddenly heard a report from his subordinates, saying that one of their craftsmen had seen a weapon described as similar to a sky thunder, but it was installed in a more sophisticated device, and said that he wanted to present it to Prince Xun.

As soon as Mr. Zhou got the news, he immediately went to investigate and found out that it was true, and this person had already completed a sample, so he immediately sent a message to the palace - he could not enter the palace at will, but there was someone who could personally Messenger's daughter.

"Why didn't you offer it before, but now you suddenly say you want to offer it?"

After listening to Princess Xun's words, Li Jingxun was pleasantly surprised, but at the same time had some doubts.

"Returning to Your Highness, my concubine's father has already carefully questioned this person," Princess Xun smiled softly, "It turns out that this craftsman has never seen the real thing, but only a picture scroll with incomplete patterns, so he can't immediately restore the real thing; In addition, the craftsman is usually repairing buildings rather than making equipment, and he is not very interested in such things, so he has not continued to study. It was not until he heard some rumors outside and the power of the thunder that he realized to what you have.”

When Princess Xun said this, she paused for a moment, and continued to explain the cause and effect: "This person has a perverse personality, so he didn't immediately report such important matters to the peak, but secretly found some materials for research, and planned to make a I will dedicate it to His Highness after I have obtained the real object.”

Hearing this, Li Jingxun couldn't help thinking: Since this guy is so selfish and disregarding the overall situation, the things he made may not necessarily be dedicated to him...Anyway, they are used to claim credit. Anyone can get the "treasure" presented by this craftsman.

When Princess Xun saw Prince Xun frowned slightly, she knew that her words had worked—she wanted to go beyond her father and the Zhou family to please His Highness, without looking at how much she weighed!

Now His Highness obviously has some dislike for that person, even if this person meets His Highness in person, it is estimated that it will be difficult for His Highness to like him.

When the time came, the item was dedicated to His Highness, and the craftsman received some innocuous rewards, and finally returned to her father, so that they could take the credit for the Zhou family.

"Then did he make anything?" Li Jingxun became impatient when he heard this, and his tone seemed very unhappy.

"His Royal Highness is so blessed, thanks to His Highness, he naturally made it, but he didn't have time to present it."

Concubine Xun Zhou explained: "He said that this object is exquisite, he is not the maker, and I am afraid it will be difficult to control, so he insisted not to let the concubine's father to demonstrate it to His Highness, instead of offering it himself."

"In that case, let's arrange for him to come into the palace, and I'll have to see what kind of treasure he can offer with such a secret!"

……

In front of Prince Xun, Princess Xun put some eye drops on the craftsman who had no self-knowledge and didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, and soon contacted her father, and sent people and things to the palace.

The guards around Li Jingxun carefully checked the items brought by the craftsman, and found that apart from a strange thing that looked like a "thick bamboo", the man did not carry any other dangerous things such as daggers and arrows.

"Grassman Yu Wei, I greet... Your Highness!" The craftsman saw Li Jingxun, his cloudy eyes burst into light, and he fell to his knees on the ground, looking eager to run to His Highness immediately, eager to be courteous.

Li Jingxun looked up and down the craftsman who was kneeling five feet away from him.

I saw that the man who called himself Yu Wei was about 40 years old, with a thin body and thin hair, and because he hadn't washed for a long time, he looked very greasy.

And his clothes are also unsightly-although they are not tattered or ragged, but the outer robe looks dusty, and the original color of the trousers and shoe uppers cannot be seen. Down and out.

Originally, when he wanted to see His Highness the Prince, he had to tidy up and clean up before entering the palace, but Mr. Zhou didn't want this guy to be favored and valued by His Highness at all, so naturally he had to find a way to trip him up.

Concubine Xun had just delivered the news to leave the palace, Master Zhou immediately arranged for Yu Wei to go to the palace, and even called it "I will let you see the nobleman earlier".

Yu Wei has always been the hardest craftsman in the craftsman's workshop. He didn't know the crookedness inside, so he was so scared that he didn't even have time to change into clean clothes, so he followed him into the palace.

Li Jingxun was a little displeased when he saw his unkempt and wretched appearance, but now he immediately became more disgusted.

If he didn't still want to see if he had any real skills, he really wanted to be kicked out immediately.

The craftsman didn't know that his impression in Prince Xun's heart was so bad that it couldn't be worse. He had a smile all over his face, and he was so happy that he couldn't contain himself.

"What did you do, first show it to Gu." Li Jingxun wanted to quickly determine whether this "baby" was really what he was expecting, so he asked without further delay.

When Yu Wei heard the words, he immediately smiled and said: "Caomin will present it to His Highness."

But when he found that he was blocked from going forward, and a servant next to Li Jingxun came over, he seemed to want to take away his things, so he immediately hugged the bamboo-like object in his arms and looked at it warily. to the attendants who approached him.

"My baby is amazing! Only I can use it!"

Li Jingxun became a little angry when he heard the words: "There are only things you can use, what else is there to offer? Could it be that you are alone to deal with the rebels outside Tianjing?"

Seeing Li Jingxun getting angry, Yu Wei flinched for a while. He said tremblingly, "No, no... Caomin means... only Caomin can use it now..."

"Then why don't you show it quickly, and still want to waste His Highness's time? Could it be that it is a useless thing at all, so you just hide it from showing it!"

Li Jingxun's confidantes were annoyed when they saw such a lowly person yelling, so they scolded him severely.As he spoke, he continued to walk forward, reaching out to grab his things.

Yu Wei was obviously frightened by the battle, he curled up on the ground, tightly protecting the bamboo tube in his arms, while struggling, he yelled: "My baby can kill people a few feet away, don't come near it! "

Li Jingxun looked at him looking like a madman, and felt that he was also stunned—because he hoped that he could also get a fetish like "Tianlei", he casually let such a madman into the palace, and even met him in person A scene of madness and madness, isn't it just a bewilderment?

Thinking of this, Li Jingxun smiled instead of anger: "Taking human life a few feet away? How to take human life?"

That Yu Wei was stunned for a moment, he held the bamboo tube in a daze for a while, and then suddenly started to fiddle with the thing in his arms, looking even more nervous.

Everyone watched impatiently as he took out a torch from his cuff and lit a cotton thread exposed from the bamboo tube.

At this time, he raised his head, looked at Li Jingxun with bright eyes, and said word by word: "This is how people's lives are taken."

The black hole of the bamboo tube faced Prince Xun standing in the distance without warning.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

With a giant bamboo as a tube, the Zike is installed inside, and it burns like a flame, and then the Zike makes a sound like a cannon, which can be heard from a distance of more than [-] steps.

This weapon, known as the bamboo gun by later generations, became famous because it easily killed a prince.

However, both bamboo guns and "Tianlei" were banned by the later Emperor Wu, and even the famous "murder weapon" was quickly destroyed, so for a long time later, people only heard of its name and name. deeds, but almost no one has seen the real thing.

And on that day, those who saw the actual bamboo guns with Prince Xun died or were imprisoned later, and they all bowed their heads in the name of committing rebellion.

The craftsman named Yu Wei also spattered blood on the spot because of assassinating the prince. No one knows where he saw the pattern of the bamboo gun, and why he assassinated Prince Xun by presenting treasures.

The 22nd year of Renxian seems to be an extremely ominous year for the Liang royal family.

Not only did His Majesty remain ill for a long time, but also in the spring of this year, the ten princes of Emperor Liang Shun died one after another in just one month, and several little princes were frightened.

First, the third prince was lured and killed by the second prince, and then the fifth and sixth princes also died at the hands of the second prince.

Because he was dissatisfied with Lao Jiu's bad words, the second prince killed him immediately, and his hands were finally stained with the blood of the fourth half-brother.

Later, under the introduction of Master Zhou, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, an unknown craftsman met the bloody Prince Xun, and killed him with the "treasure" he should have offered.

At this point, the princes who were originally capable of competing with each other lost their lives, and the remaining little princes, not to mention governing politics, even just learned to read and read.

Just when everyone thought that Jingzhong could no longer hold on and would probably open the city gates to "welcome" Prince Jing, His Majesty suddenly woke up without warning.

……

Emperor Liang Shun came to his senses when he was dying. First he received the news that made him distraught, and he couldn't hold on almost immediately.

It was night, and for the imperial doctors of the Imperial Medical Bureau, it was simply the most thrilling night in their lives.

After finally waiting for His Majesty to wake up, and having been worried and busy all night, he finally managed to prevent His Majesty from closing his eyes again without saying a word clearly.

From the doctor's point of view, it may not be a good thing for His Majesty to wake up suddenly - there is always a kind of backlight, which is very ominous.

Li Qixi woke up on the night that Li Jingxun was killed by the bamboo gun. He experienced the most dangerous night. He lay on his bed with a face like gold paper, lifeless, with a kind of depression and sadness of dying.

He moved his eyelids slightly, but found that there was chaos in front of him, even though the whole bedroom was brightly lit, he couldn't even see Master Wujue who was close at hand.

"Master, how long have I been asleep?" His voice was very soft, intermittent, and he sounded extremely weak.

Master Wujue looked at his Yintang, sighed slightly, and replied: "Your Majesty has been asleep for a long time, it should be time to wake up."

Li Qixi seemed to want to laugh, but he didn't even have the strength to quarrel. He asked, "Master, tell me, what happened while I was asleep?"

Master Wu Jue was silent for a while, but did not make a sound immediately.

Seeing this, Wu Lixin, the chief servant, stepped forward to persuade Li Qixi full of anxiety, "Your Majesty has just woken up, why don't you take a rest quickly, and listen to the master after recovering your energy, okay?"

Li Qixi didn't even look at Wu Lixin, he knew his own body - if he woke up this time and went back to sleep, he was afraid that he would never "wake up" again.

He has been suspicious all his life, he wants to know everything clearly and clearly, and naturally he doesn't want to become a confused person who is kept in the dark when he is about to leave.

"Say it, I can bear it, master."

Master Wujue sighed again, and he slowly told what happened during this period in an extremely peaceful and calm tone.

Li Qixi was seriously ill, and Master Wu Jue himself rushed from Yunshui to Tianjing to witness this series of events;

The fuse at the beginning was that Prince Qi's son was reprimanded by the queen mother because of his majesty's illness, and died suddenly in the prince's mansion. Therefore, King Qi abandoned Xicang and immediately raised troops in the name of the Qing emperor. The fetish named "Tianlei" is invincible;

In order to prevent the monsters in Xicang from invading the territory, King Yu divided his troops into two places.Not long after, King Jing "sent troops to serve the king" and left the eastern border, causing chaos in Liangzhou;

Afterwards, Prince Qi and Prince Jing fled to Tianjing, and the two powerful anti-kings were no longer restrained by Beijing, so they naturally became more rampant;

After that, the second prince Xun forced the palace, killed his brother, put the queen mother under house arrest, and was killed by a commoner. The whole process was unimaginable.

Every time Emperor Liang heard a sentence, his breathing became disordered, and then he sank a little.

Seeing His Majesty lying in the quilt as if dead, without the majesty and arrogance of the past, Wu Lixin has been by His Majesty's side all his life, seeing His Majesty who is not as old as himself is dying, weak and weak like an ordinary old man, Immediately feel sorry for him.

Master Wujue avoided the details of the prince being killed by his brother, but this did not bring Li Qixi the slightest comfort. After listening to Master Wujue's description, he realized that it was time to wake up when he woke up.

——If he doesn't wake up at this time, Liangzhou will probably be completely messed up in his hands... How can he face the late emperor and the ancestors of the Li family?

"Where are Li Qijing and Li Qiqi? Where's Ah Yu?"

Master Wujue answered his previous question first, then paused for a moment, and then said: "I sent a letter to Qiyu, asking him to come to see you, but because of the sudden incident, I am afraid that he will make a mistake, and the northern border will also be messed up." Therefore, he was not allowed to enter Tianjing."

Hearing this, Li Qixi curled up his fingers slightly, trying to make a fist, but in the end he couldn't do it.

The palace lantern in the palace gave off a soft and warm light, but when it shone on Li Qixi's pale face, there was no hint of warmth.

I don't know how long it took, as if the words were spit out from the throat, Wu Lixin and Master Wujue heard Li Qixi's words.

"Uncle Huang, I have always liked Ah Yu the most."

Upon hearing the words, Master Wujue neither agreed nor opposed.

……

He and the first emperor were twins, and when they were young, they were sent to Huayin Temple, the Zhenguo temple in Wushan, to practice cultivation, regardless of the imperial court.

Master Wujue and the first emperor's biological mother, Empress Xiaoren, and Emperor Xian were young couples. The eldest son wore a hair crown and was established as the crown prince at the age of three. However, the youngest son who was born together was sent away due to royal customs. The youngest felt very guilty.

Therefore, although Master Wujue became a monk in Wushan, he has always received excellent care. He has a very high seniority and is respected in Huayin Temple.

In the early years, he also secretly went back and forth between Tianjing and Huayin Temple to relieve Empress Xiaoren's lovesickness.

The royal family of Liang didn't live long, only Master Wujue lived long, because the former emperor went west for many years, His Majesty and all the princes are old, Master Wujue is still taking care of him at Huayin Temple, although he can't be called an uncle by the princes, But it is a real royal family.

Unlike the Queen Mother who is very close to all the kings, Master Wujue is not close to His Majesty, King Qi, Prince Jing and other princes.

If His Majesty hadn't been disturbed by nightmares these past few years, and invited Master Wu Jue to Beijing every winter, after the death of the late Emperor, he would hardly have contact with Beijing.

Although Master Wujue treated them equally, Li Qixi felt that when he was young, he should be the one who likes kind-hearted people the most in the eyes of monks like the emperor's uncle.

Li Qixi also had to admit that among the brothers, Li Qiyu was the one who killed the most demons, but whoever had the purest heart should be Li Qiyu.

Compared with Tianjing, which is far away, Pingwu and Yunshui are both in the north, and they are relatively close geographically. Therefore, Li Qixi listened to his father and grandmother's instructions and asked his brother Yu Wang to take care of him alone in China. Master Wujue of Yinsi Temple.

There was no response from Master Wujue, and Li Qixi didn't speak for the time being. It wasn't that he didn't want to speak, but he felt overwhelmed and exhausted after just saying these few words.

——His body has decayed to such an extent... what else can he do for the living?

Although he didn't want to admit it, but Li Qixi thought about it carefully, Li Jingxun's current situation was not caused by him, his father.

He gave them all hope, but never made those hopes come true.

They have always been suspicious, always robbed, and have always regarded their blood relatives as enemies—just like him, King Qi, King Jing, and the dead King You and King Su...

King Qi didn't seem to have much "Sky Thunder" in his hands, so he didn't dare to move forward rashly, but King Jing didn't know where he got a more powerful "Sky Thunder".

Listening to their description, Li Qixi judged that it shouldn't take long for Prince Jing to enter the capital.

Several adult princes have already died, and the only ones left are the old empress dowager, the emperor's uncle, and a few young princes who are still underage. How can they be expected to resist Prince Jing's Chongming army and command the Jing Daying, Zhenyuan, etc.? Will the army and the northern border army contend with the overwhelming anti-king?

Li Qixi racked his brains, but he couldn't find an opportunity to inherit the Datong and lead the Beijing army at the same time. .
