Qinse is in the imperial court, forgetting both favor and disgrace

When Li Lang stepped into the palace, the imperial doctors were still there, the three Xinglin masters all looked depressed when they saw him approaching.

His heart sank, there was no need to ask, Li Lang already knew the answer, but he couldn't help asking: "Still not improving?"

The chief shook his head silently, seeing the emperor's worries floating in his words, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "Although the poison cannot be eradicated, it is good to rest and rest. With nourishing food and drink, there is no danger of life. It's just...just don't bother your heart and mind any more. Lost energy."

However, he has repeated these words countless times, knowing that it is useless, but he still has to repeat them again and again.

Li Lang nodded and forced a smile in response: "I understand. I am sorry for the inconvenience of the imperial doctors, please step back and rest."

He walked slowly behind the screen, and the servants who were taking care of him knelt down to him one after another. He raised his hand, and the servants left silently, but he did not step forward, and looked at the person on the bed intently a few steps away.

But in just half a month, there are too many people.

He thought he was asleep, but he opened his eyes when he didn't want to. Seeing that Zhao Rang was propping up the bed with his elbows, Li Lang wanted to get up, so he hurriedly stepped forward to hold him down, and said softly, "Lie down!"

Zhao Rang smiled wryly: "Help me up, and if I lie down again, I will become a useless person."

He paused suddenly, then sighed slightly, "Perhaps he is already useless."

Li Lang's breath suddenly suffocated, Zhao Rang noticed it, and stopped making a sound, just put his hands on Li Lang's shoulders, Li Lang held him in a timely manner, and carefully helped him out of bed.

Zhao Rang breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Li Lang: "I want to go out for a walk, what is Your Majesty's intention?"

Li Lang smiled and said, "I won't allow it, so you just listen?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, Li Lang said again: "The sun is just right today, let me walk with you in the back garden."

He called the servant, brought a fox fur, and put it on Zhao Rang, but Zhao Rang asked hesitantly, "Are you all right?"

It has been half a month since the upheaval at the Meridian Gate, during this time, Li Lang can be said to be in a state of constant prosperity, and the Emperor and Empress Dowager passed away at the same time.

Most of the ministers were anxious and trembling like walking on thin ice. However, Li Lang, who had exterminated his two elder brothers, showed great kindness and generosity this time. He only sent Xie Lian and other elders of the gentry to prison, exiled and ransacked their homes, and never did anything to barbarians. The punishment of the family is killing.

The grateful courtiers once again knelt down to Li Lang and shouted long live. After surviving by luck, they regrouped and settled down.

Compared with the great grace of the civil servants, the order of the imperial army is more violent, frosty and cold.

Wei Yixiao's stature has also shrunk a lot after this incident, he never slack off day and night, except for those who are in charge, all those who have official rank and are attached to him will be killed without mercy.

In less than half a month, more than half of the soldiers in charge of the forbidden army were replaced.

Winners and losers are inevitable.

The Northern Liang Kingdom on the border took advantage of the civil strife in Eastern Chu and aggressively invaded. According to the experience of previous years, this war will last until the beginning of spring.

After Li Lang cleaned up the mess, he was busy supervising the transportation of food and salaries of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households, as well as the production of military equipment.

Don't be afraid of posthumous comments after taking care of your life's affairs?He has no time to think about how future history books will set up a biography for him, whether it is cruel, ruthless or wanton, the situation of survival in this world is enough to exhaust his energy—whether it is Dong Chu or Zhao Rang.

One day after the situation was initially determined, Zhao Rang vomited blood and fell to the ground without any warning. After the imperial doctor saw him, he said that there was no cure, only recuperation could save his life.

Li Langgui is the son of heaven, he is accustomed to life and death, but he is hard to defy the sky. He sees the one he loves haggard day by day.

He shared the bed with Zhao Rang every night, fearing that if he was not careful one day, he would have nowhere to find his whereabouts in this life.

At first, Zhao Rang still insisted that since it would be difficult to gallop freely in the future, and the two young children were safe and sound, instead of lingering on their last breaths, why not give up this remnant body, clear up the stigma for Li Lang, and return him the image of a holy emperor.

Li Lang also went from being silent at the beginning to finally erupting: in the bedroom where there were only two people, he put the dagger into Zhao Rang's hand, and said to him lightly: "If you open this mouth again next time, You might as well goug out a piece of flesh from my body, or just kill me, it will work—remember to stab a few more times, so as not to die, but torment instead."

Zhao Rang downplayed Li Lang's remarks as a joke, remained silent for a long time, and took the knife away, but never mentioned it again.

In the face of life and death, many ups and downs are insignificant.

For example, Ye Ying, how to deal with her and her people, Li Lang no longer pursued their rebellion. He tolerated Ye Ying, who was shot by himself, to stay in Jinling until he recovered from his injuries, and then arranged for Zhao Rang and his children to bid farewell to her. , sent outside the city gate.

Ye Ying was indeed a barbarian woman, ignorant of reason, and did not follow the principles of a monarch and his ministers. On the eve of parting, she insisted on seeing Li Lang, just to ask herself: "Emperor Han, can you really treat him and my people well?"

Li Lang said: "A promise is as good as it gets."

He even vaguely understood the reason why Zhao Rang was unwilling to break the oath with this woman at the beginning, but she was able to harden her heart and leave her two children to Zhao Rang, and returned to Nanyue alone.

Since the two young children have Han Chinese blood, they will be more comfortable staying with their father. However, how many mothers in the world can bear to part with their blood relatives for the future of their children?

Li Lang deeply admired her determination, but he had to rejoice that Zhao Rang left without choosing her after all.

Zhao Rang's younger sister, Changle, was also rescued by Wei Yixiao's subordinates. She was safe and sound, but soon after, she found out that she was pregnant. What's more unfortunate was that the fetus in her womb was actually Xie Lian's flesh and blood.

Even so, Changle knelt in front of Zhao Rang for a long time, begging her brother to allow her to keep the child, her tears were invincible, even Zhao Rang would eventually win or lose the army.

The child has not yet fallen into grass, and everyone has already concluded: only recognize the mother but not the father, inherit the Zhao family's ancestral temple, and worship the Zhao family's ancestors.

Everything seems to have settled down.

Speaking of Zongsi, there was one more thing that surprised Li Lang, but after thinking about it, it seemed reasonable, and that was the identity of Li Ming revealed by Zhao Rang.

The young man who grew up in the cold palace was not only a man, but he might even be his brother. Li Lang didn't realize that Ziyu's ambition until now: If the Supreme Emperor succeeds, Li Ming will be big. It is possible to canonize the prince.

This person disappeared without a trace afterwards, and even the minions of Da Chong'en Temple did not know his whereabouts.In Li Lang's view, a brother with the same blood as him, not to mention the same spirit, is a hidden danger that must be eliminated. He was busy with government affairs and slack in tracking down the whereabouts of his father. Misfortune, if it wasn't for Zhao Rang, he might have to fight for the throne with Hades.

The young bodyguard who rescued him without hesitation many years ago helped him stabilize the throne once again. Maybe in this life, he is destined to owe this person, no matter what.

Zhao Rang knew about it, but he only agreed to find Li Ming. His suggestion was to accept Li Ming and make him a king and a nobleman as the emperor's younger brother.

"That child's nature is not evil, righteousness still exists, and he is the blood of the royal family. After this change, you are in desperate need of a right hand. He is a malleable talent in terms of ability and temperament." Zhao Rangdao, hesitating for a moment, continued in a low voice, "Otherwise, let the sky be high and the sea wide, and let him live?"

Li Lang could only answer: "Find him first, and discuss later."

Are you all right?

The memorials piled up like a mountain, Li Lang was not a king who did everything by himself, and was young and energetic, he still felt sleepy at sunset and had to force himself.

It's just that no matter what happens now, it's not as important as being with Zhao Rang. Li Lang looked at Zhao Rang, who was silent at the side. The sun was shining on his familiar and friendly face. Outside the clear outline, the facial features seemed to be covered Like a dreamy mist, the grief in his heart was getting deeper and deeper, but he had to try his best to restrain himself, not to let it out, and the two walked side by side, which had already fulfilled his original dream.

Li Lang's thoughts were wandering, and he didn't hear Zhao Rang's words for a moment. It wasn't until Zhao Rang stopped suddenly that he came back to his senses: "Why?"

Zhao Rang stared at him, hesitated to speak, and sighed softly for a while: "I said just now, I'm afraid there are deeper secrets in the Da Chong'en Temple--you didn't mean that you couldn't find the batch of engraved '卍' Is it a musical instrument with words? I have been bored for a while, thinking about it every day. Although I am not sure, it is difficult to confirm it, but I am afraid... the abbot I saw in the temple should be the same as the Supreme Emperor who appeared that day. Not the same person."

"What?" Li Lang was surprised. He respected ghosts and gods and stayed away. He had never looked at the old monk directly. Now that Zhao Rangyi said it, he couldn't help but shuddered. He exclaimed, "Is the father still in the world?"

Zhao Rang was noncommittal, and told about the seam marks on the old monk's neck, and asked, "Have you ever noticed this abnormality?"

Li Lang pondered bitterly, finally shook his head, and said: "I have seen the corpse myself, although I didn't look carefully, but if there are such unusual traces, I should be able to detect them."

"That's it." Zhao Rang said calmly, "Although I don't know the character of the late emperor, judging from what he did, it seems that he can't bear the responsibility of planning such a big event. From what you see?"

Li Lang unconsciously took Zhao Rang's hand, and the two walked together in silence for a while. He Fang sighed and said, "You mean, this matter is not the envoy of the emperor, and there is someone else behind it? And the dead The emperor father at the Meridian Gate may not be the emperor's real body?"

"I haven't figured out whether that person is the first emperor or not. You are the only one in the world who can make a conclusion." Zhao Rang glanced at Li Lang. Although it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the falsehood, he has a little selfishness in the end, and he does not want to make Li Lang feel bad because of the Queen Mother's death.

Li Lang never imagined that the chess game that seemed to have been decided was not over yet, and there was still a lot going on inside. He was stunned for a moment, and murmured: "No wonder she has never been close to me, so I am not her own son... "

He straightened his expression, and said again: "If the mastermind is not father, who would it be, and who could it be?"

"It's always related to the musical instrument engraved with the word '卍'." Zhao Rang looked tired, Li Lang saw this, clasped his palms a little harder, and said with a soft smile: "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, don't mind him What monsters and monsters are behind it, you and I can always deal with it."

Zhao Rang lowered his eyes, stared at the jade hanging on Li Lang's neck, and smiled slightly.

A few months later, it was the end of winter and early spring, and the war in the north was tense again and again. Li Lang ignored the opposition of his officials and insisted on going to the border to reward the garrison.

The morale of the Eastern Chu army was greatly boosted, and they won successive victories, but at this time, incredible rumors spread from Beiliang: Li Lang was not Li Xian's biological son, and he was not qualified to inherit the great order. north beam.

After Li Lang heard about it, he only paid a smirk. Seeing that the situation had stabilized, he went back to the court as a teacher.

Zhao Rang couldn't bear the exhaustion of boats and cars, so he didn't follow him to the north. This short separation made Li Lang often toss and turn in the dead of night, unable to sleep.

Unexpectedly, others have not yet returned to Jinling, but they are extremely shocked to learn that Zhao Rang has disappeared again!

Li Lang took the opportunity of renovating the palace to almost dig the entire palace city three feet into the ground, looking for the secret passage left by the predecessors. How did Zhao Rang disappear this time?

Once back in the palace, he desperately rushed to Chengxian Palace and searched all the places in person, but only saw a piece of writing left by Zhao Rang on the desk in the bedroom: Hongfei Mingming, Yi How can someone usurp?

Li Lang stared at the eight bold and unrestrained characters, and burst into tears unknowingly.

********************

Xie Lian knew that he had been completely defeated, he had lost everything, and there was no possibility of a comeback.

Li Lang spared his life and expelled him to Lingnan, which was both supreme kindness and extreme malice.

But Xie Lian was determined to live on, even though he was in such bad luck, he never thought of taking the initiative to seek death.

He did not expect that his life would be ruined in a stinking prison, and the person who sent him a ride was actually sent to the palace by him——

daughter.

The night before heading to Lingnan, Xie Lan, who was completely naked, was holding a wooden wine tray with a wine jug and two wine glasses on it.

Amidst Xie Lian's terrified screams, she bowed down to her father and kowtowed like a ceremony. She was no longer a queen, she had no monarchs and ministers, but a father and daughter.

"Father," she smiled, "My daughter is filial, and she begged thousands of times to get His Majesty's consent to personally send you on your way."

Hearing this, Xie Lian knew that Xie Lan was not dead. He was overjoyed and thought to himself that Li Lang was still thinking about his old love, so he wanted to beg Xie Lan, and then plead with the emperor. Xie Lan had already filled the two empty cups Wine, said with a smile: "Daughter has lived so far, just to drink a glass of golden wine with you, father. On the road to Huangquan, my daughter will serve you with all her heart."

"You!" Xie Lian stared at Xie Lan in disbelief, his anger was so high that his beard and beard stood on end, "You are called filial piety!"

Xie Lan chuckled: "My father wants to harm my son. If he is not filial, what can he do? Father, Lingnan is too far away. If you die in another country, who will die for you? Just drink this wine, and my daughter will come to accompany you That's right."

Xie Lian stared at the wine glass in Xie Lan's hand, trembling all over.
