blame me for attacking

The two had a tacit understanding on this topic, and neither brought it up again.In the next few days, news from the North Defense came one after another, which made Li Yue extremely anxious.

Li Yuegang was in charge of the government, and it was the time when the old and the new were changing in the court. Many new ministers came to power and old ministers fell, which can be regarded as a period of turmoil.At this time, the northern defense is not peaceful. Obviously, someone deliberately took the opportunity to disadvantage Dayu.

Many years ago, since Li Yue succeeded to the throne, Dayu's border has been quite uneasy.After all, the youngest son proclaimed himself emperor, and without the help of strong relatives and relatives of the emperor, in the eyes of foreign enemies, Dayu was simply vulnerable.

Fortunately, although the two auxiliary ministers are authoritarian and overbearing, they are not fatuous. Therefore, although there have been constant turmoil in Da Yu over the years, there has been no large-scale battle.

The matter of Beifang has not yet been settled, and Li Yue has encountered another trouble.

His Uncle Six came to the capital suddenly.

It stands to reason that Li Yue and the Sixth Prince are uncles and nephews, so the relationship should be quite close.Even when they were in Lizhou before, the two of them had an unhappy fight on the surface, but they both said that the father and son had no overnight feud, but the uncle and nephew didn't take it to heart.

The sixth prince originally wanted to make some efforts in Li Yue's personal administration, but he didn't expect Li Yue to accomplish it in such a short time, and he still admired this nephew in his heart.

Appreciation is admiration, but it doesn't mean that he will support Li Yue unconditionally.

At least in marriage, he showed unprecedented toughness.

The two uncles and nephews met and talked about the past for half a day. Before leaving, the sixth prince only talked about the important points.

"I came here today, and I have one more thing to ask His Majesty to fulfill." The Sixth Prince said.

"Uncle Six, you're welcome. If you have something to say, it's okay to say it." Li Yue said.

The sixth prince pondered for a moment, and said, "Pan Wenjie, are you locked up?"

Li Yue was taken aback when he heard the words, then his face turned cold, and said: "Since Uncle Liu knows about this, he must also know what he did that shouldn't be done, right?"

"Should or should not be done, it is not clear in a few words. If he is for Dayu's country, for your future and dragon position, I don't think there is anything he can't do." The sixth prince said.

"Uncle Six... what do you mean by that?" Li Yue said unhappily.

"Sixth Uncle knows that you like Zhao Xun, but you are now over eighteen years old, and you are already in charge of the government, but you have not mentioned the marriage. The person who arranged the marriage for you before, at least there is Zhang Yu, and now Zhang Yu is also taken by you. If it's changed, even Zongzheng Temple is yours, if I don't tell you, who will dare to mention your marriage in the future?" said the sixth prince.

"The sixth uncle came here to force me to marry?" Li Yue said.

Seeing that the young man's face became very unhappy, the Sixth Prince sighed and said: "There is no rush on this matter. I came here today just to ask His Majesty to give Pan Wenjie a chance. After all, I cannot get rid of this matter. If Your Majesty wants to deal with it He, I'm afraid I can't escape the blame too."

These words looked like a compromise, but in fact they looked like a threat.The implication was that if Li Yue wanted to question Pan Wenjie, he would first question him, the sixth uncle.

Li Yue felt sad, but at the same time very angry, said: "I only have uncle Liu as my closest relative in this world, why does Uncle Six persecute me like this?"

The sixth prince also said aggressively after hearing the words: "Because you are in this position, you should consider Dayu's country."

"When I got married and had children, I thought about the country? If my father hadn't been forced to marry a woman he didn't love, why would he... Sixth Uncle, you know everything that my father went through back then. Do you want me to marry you?" Do you want to experience it again?" Li Yue said.

The boy's face flushed with anger, obviously he was really angry.After all, he is already a legitimate emperor now, and he has the power of a emperor when he gets angry. Even if he is a relative uncle or nephew, the sixth prince would not dare to be too rash.

"Your Majesty calm down." The sixth prince said.

Li Yue waved his hand and said: "I'm tired, Uncle Liu has been working hard all the way, it's time to rest."

"The matter of Pan Wenjie..." the sixth prince tried again before leaving.

"I will consider it." Li Yue said coldly.

The sixth prince didn't stay any longer when he heard the words, and got up to leave.

Originally, the gathering of uncles and nephews should be a joyful event, but I didn't expect it to end like this in the end.Li Yue was very depressed, but he didn't know who to talk to, so he locked himself in the Ninghe Hall and dropped a lot of things.

A white jade brush washer was thrown out by Li Yue, and it happened to hit Liu Li who came in. Liu Li reached out to catch the brush washer, and couldn't help feeling distressed, but fortunately it didn't break.

"Why is my temper getting bigger and bigger as I get older? Could it be that Zhao Xun didn't take care of me well, so I have nowhere to vent my anger?" Liu Li joked casually seeing Li Yue's ugly face.

In the entire palace, only Zhao Xun and Liu Li dared to talk to him like that, even Shen Xuan was much more honest now, even if it was a joke, he didn't dare to make it when he was angry.

"No one will treat you as dumb if you don't speak." Li Yue said.

Liu Li shrugged and said, "Tsk tsk, I shut up."

Li Yue felt a little relieved at the moment, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Come to pass a message." Liu Li said.

"Say." Li Yue said.

Liu Li said, "Will Pan Wenjie let go or not?"

Li Yue immediately said: "Don't let go!"

"Okay, let's execute him today!" Liu Li said.

"Wait...let's keep it." Li Yue said again.

After all, Li Yue suddenly thought of something.The Sixth Prince came to talk to him today, and just mentioned that he was going to let him go, how would Liu Li know?If Liu Li had eavesdropped, it would be impossible to wait until now to come out, it means that Liu Li already knew about it.

"At that time, you came to send a message on behalf of your husband, asking me not to deal with Pan Wenjie. Didn't your husband realize that this matter had something to do with Uncle Six?" Li Yue asked.

"Many years ago, Pan Wenjie and the Sixth Prince plotted against my father, and now they are doing the same thing again, which is expected." Liu Li nodded.

"Did the gentleman say what to do about this matter?" Li Yue asked again.

"My father plans to return to Lizhou in a few days, and His Majesty will make up his own mind about everything," Liu Li said.

Li Yue originally thought that Liu An would allow Liu Li to bring him some useful countermeasures, but he didn't expect that Liu An had no intention of continuing to take care of him at all, and would let go of him after helping him take charge of the government.

As a result, Li Yue's already restless heart became more and more uncertain.

When he was not in charge, he had a good temper, but now it may be that there are too many things to worry about, coupled with a lot of pressure, he feels restless all day long.Especially when Zhao Xun was involved, he couldn't hold back his emotions.

If it goes on like this, I'm afraid he will be pissed to death!

"Sir, what should I do?" Li Yue asked.

"Your Majesty is now able to take charge on his own, not to mention Zhao Xun." Liu Li said.

Yes, there is also Zhao Xun, Li Yue thought.Zhao Xun is very outstanding in both mind and talent, and his strategy and courage are even more extraordinary than ordinary people, but there are some things that Li Yue doesn't want to discuss with Zhao Xun.

Maybe he also knows in his heart that for some things, the choices Zhao Xun makes may not be consistent with his own choices.

For example, the document sent by Daxia a few days ago, asking Dayu to return the proton to the third prince, Li Yue would never agree anyway, but Zhao Xun might not have made such a decision.

In the side hall, Zhao Xiaowu sat cross-legged on a low couch eating snacks.Li Yue ordered people to make this snack for Zhao Xun, and the entire Dayu couldn't eat a second serving, only Changning Palace had it.

"Third brother, do you want to go back?" Zhao Xiaowu asked.

"Do you want to solve this matter?" Zhao Xun asked.

"Your Majesty thinks highly of you, if you don't go back, he will definitely protect you." Zhao Xiaowu said while eating.

"Brother Huang is determined to put me to death this time. If I go back, I will be in an unpredictable situation. If I don't go back, he will have an excuse to start a war with Dayu." Zhao Xun said.

"Then fight!" Zhao Xiaowu said.

"Do you think that fighting is just playing tricks? Fighting kills people, and Li Yue has just been in power, and half of the old officials in the court have been cleaned up. Now there are only a few important officials who can rely on. If a war starts at this time, it will definitely shake the foundation of the country." Zhao Xun said.

Zhao Xiaowu didn't understand these things, but he could guess a little from Zhao Xun's expression.And he knew in his heart that if Zhao Xun went back, he might have a hard time.

"Then what should we do?" Zhao Xiaowu asked.

"You don't have to worry about this matter. It doesn't matter whether you fight or not. Even if I want to go back, I won't take you with me. You follow Liu Li...very good." Zhao Xun said.

Zhao Xiaowu put down the snacks, wiped his mouth and said, "Third brother, if you go back, I will definitely follow you. Even if it's a dragon's lake or a tiger's lair, I won't let you go alone."

"Okay, I know what you're thinking, let's talk about it later, it's getting late and you should go." Zhao Xun said.

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaowu jumped down from the low couch, Zhao Xun signaled him to take the dim sum away, Zhao Xiaowu took a clean cloth towel and carefully wrapped up the remaining dim sum.

After Zhao Xiaowu left, Zhao Xun stood by the window and looked at the sky outside, without saying a word for a while.

Li Yue has never mentioned this matter these days, but he knows in his heart that no matter how long this matter drags on, it will finally be decided as soon as possible.In fact, Li Yue should also know what Zhao Xun was thinking, so he refused to communicate with Zhao Xun on this matter.

After all, when Zhao Xun first came to Dayu, it was in the name of proton, and now Daxia wants to return the proton, which is justified.The imperial brother Zhao Xun naturally did not make such a request because he missed his younger brother, maybe the other party also knew that Li Yue would not let him go willingly.

Daxia's move was a righteous speech on the surface, but in fact it was a provocation. Whether he should or should not, Li Yue will suffer.If you agree, you will lose Zhao Xun, and if you don't, you will probably usher in a war in the northern defense. At worst, you will cause criticism for Dayu and Li Yue.

Zhao Xun has already made up his mind to help Li Yue overcome this hurdle, and he will do so at all costs.

Not only because this matter happened because of him, but also because that young man has already walked into his heart now, and his flesh and blood have already melted into one body with the other party.He wanted to protect that young man, all the wind and rain and swords, he wanted to stand behind him for him.He has nothing to give to the other party, only a body of flesh and blood.
