Liang Chen System [Rebirth]

The third prince listened quietly.

Luo Di talked for a long time, and seemed to see the longing man through the face of the third prince.He always had a smile on his face, and his dusky face became more angry.With a sound, he put down the wooden pestle, and with the support of the third prince, he staggered to stand up.

He said with a smile, "I'm old and useless. After just sitting for a while, my legs and feet will become uncomfortable."

The third prince paused, "Father, you are in your prime."

Luo Di was stunned, and said again: "Yes, I am in the prime of life, in the prime of life."

The average life expectancy of the Jin State is about one hundred years old. Luo Di is currently in his 40s, which is equivalent to his 30s in modern times.But since the queen passed away, his health has been deteriorating, and now he is not even as good as 60 years old.

At this time, a young eunuch ran in, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the Second Prince is asking to see you outside the palace."

Luo Di smiled and said to the third prince: "Today is to make good things come together. You are back, and your second brother is also back." After speaking, he said to the little eunuch: "Quickly call the second prince in."

After a while, a tall figure entered the hall.As soon as he entered the hall, Luo Di said: "Second brother, come here."

Zhang Xuan was startled, and walked towards Luo Di without haste.

Luo Di looked it up carefully, and said: "You've grown taller. I still remember that when you left, you were only this little tall." Then, he gestured with his hand, with a smile on his face. "You haven't been back to Beijing these years, and you only send me portraits every year. But when I look at those portraits, you are still a little taller. Every time I write to you to ask you to eat more, I am actually afraid that you will not grow tall. Your mother and concubine blamed me for not taking good care of you in the ground. Now, I am relieved."

Zhang Xuan hurriedly knelt down, with a trembling voice: "My son is unfilial, and I will punish my father."

"What are you punished for? Your concubine mother wanted to take you away from the capital back then, but I insisted on letting her stay..." Luo Di sighed, "Get up quickly. It was your concubine's last wish that you left the capital, and you will not return for so many years." The capital city is also her last wish. You are not wrong, but I broke her heart."

Zhang Xuan stood up, "Mother Concubine, she..."

"Don't talk about these old things." Luo Di waved his hand, and said to the third prince: "Do you still remember your second brother? When you were young, you often followed the second child. Every time it's bedtime, your mother and concubine and I have a headache , I can't pull you back no matter what, crying and making noise."

"Of course I remember. When I was injured in martial arts training when I was young, my second brother always came to see me and gave me medicine." The third prince paused, "As for what the father said, he was crying and fussing..."

Luo Di shook his head, turned to Zhang Xuan and said, "Second brother, you come and tell him. How did he hold you and cry before, shouting at the top of your voice not to leave?"

Zhang Xuan smiled: "I don't remember the crying thing. However, the third brother did tell me that he will be with me for the rest of his life and never be separated."

The third prince also said with a smile: "Back then, I suggested that blood should be sworn as an oath, not forgetting the original intention. But the second brother said that the promise is a lifetime, no formality is needed. So you still remember the second brother."

"I remember, but I broke my promise." He left the capital for 12 years, and he broke his promise for 12 full years.

The third prince paused, his smile gradually slipped, as if he was recalling something.

"Okay, it's good if you come back." Luo Di said again: "You just arrived in the capital today, rest for a few days before going to court."

The third prince came back to his senses and smiled: "Royal father, my son practices in Beimo every morning. Now that I want to go back to Beijing and want to be lazy, I won't go this morning."

Luo Di casually said: "Then you will be in charge of the garrison, it's easy."

The garrison battalion is responsible for managing public security and access control in the capital.For a general who leads troops in the northern desert all year round, it is indeed very easy.But this position is very important. It can be said that if you are in charge of the Imperial Forest Army and one of the garrison battalions, you will have the capital to rebel.

The third prince's complexion changed, and he immediately knelt down, "Father..."

Luo Di turned around leisurely, sat down cross-legged, "It's time for me to recite the scriptures, you all step back."

The third prince knelt on the ground motionless, but Zhang Xuan patted him on the shoulder and shook his head as a gesture.He paused slightly, got up and thanked Zhang Xuan.When the two left the hall, the empty palace fell into dead silence again.Suddenly, a sharp wooden pestle sounded in the hall.

Luo Di snorted again, his face turned pale and blue, extremely difficult to see.

Sun Lu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, don't be so angry. Now that the two princes are back, isn't this exactly what you want?"

Luo Di said angrily: "Come back? You won't leave when you come back? Look at the third child, he would rather stay in the barren northern desert than stay in the capital."

"Your Majesty, when Mr. Yun passed away, the Third Highness seemed to have lost his soul. No matter how others called him, he didn't respond. You didn't send him to Beimo because you were worried about something happening to him. Seeing it now, you finally got a little angry , and all your painstaking efforts back then were not in vain."

"It's just a brother who doesn't know what's good or bad. How can the third brother bother to worry about it?" Luo Di stood up abruptly, his brows furrowed. I don't care about my father. He just wants to stay with Yunqing for the rest of his life, and he doesn't want to provoke the burden of the country. How did I compromise at the beginning? He can marry Yunqing as his wife. Even as long as Yunqing gives birth to a prince, he can live forever No concubine. Yun Qing has been dead for five years now, and he still misses him. He doesn't want to stay in the capital, and he doesn't want to take on heavy responsibilities."

Sun Lu: "Your Majesty, the Third Prince is a man of great affection."

Luo Di stopped abruptly, like a deflated ball.The shoulders gradually slipped, and the whole body went limp.He raised his head and said weakly, "Yes, he values ​​feelings. The queen also values ​​feelings more than life. He really looks like a queen."

"Forget it, it's not the first time left and right." Luo Di picked up the wooden pestle on the ground, "I can't fight him, so I can only let him go." After finishing speaking, the sound of wooden fishes sounded again and again in the hall, and they returned. to silence.

……

The sun was heading towards the west, and the scorching red sun crossed into orange light.The noisy streets gradually lost their vitality, and the crowds dispersed in all directions.Pei Ziqi waved his jade fan and walked towards Pei's mansion in a happy mood.However, when he returned to Pei's mansion, he couldn't be happy.

He received two invitations, both for tomorrow's banquet, one signed by the First Prince and one signed by the Second Prince.The reason for the two banquets was thanks, the second prince thanked him for his little effort today, and the first prince thanked the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Yuanming.The latter is obviously a Hongmen Banquet.

Pei Ziqi held two invitation cards in both hands, his gaze was vacillating.After a while, he put down the eldest prince's invitation and walked to the window.He put his fingers together in front of his abdomen, and his right thumb kept rubbing against the knuckle of his left thumb.Looking into the distance, faintly flickering waves.

Suddenly, the system sighed and said, "Pei Ziqi, I'm really worried whether you will survive to the end."

Rejecting the eldest prince and going to the second prince's banquet is clearly slapping the eldest prince in the face.The eldest prince's banquet is not only a Hongmen banquet, but also more about temptation and win-win.Previously, the eldest prince also tried to win over Pei Ziqi, but every time he was beaten by Pei Ziqi to get away with it.

This time, Pei Ziqi openly attacked the eldest prince's people, which was a provocation and a declaration of war.If Pei Ziqi refuses him again, it will be tantamount to tearing faces apart, and the First Prince will definitely try to get rid of him.Now that the four princes are all in the capital, the battle for the reserve position can no longer be weakened, and he has to make a choice.

Pei Ziqi ignored the system, his flickering eyes turned firm.He stopped rubbing between his thumbs, and returned to laughing Yanyan in a blink of an eye.He said: "System, what do you think I should wear to the banquet tomorrow?"

system:"……"

After repeated discussions, Pei Ziqi wore a plain white robe.The hair is tied high and pulled up by a jade crown; the waist is tied with a thin belt, dotted with broken jadeite.This one is dressed in a celestial appearance without appearance, like a banished immortal who has just emerged from the world, without any mortal air.

The place where the second prince made an appointment was a tavern he often went to.It is not like the luxurious atmosphere of Qizhai, but a kind of simplicity with a unique charm, and the food and drinks inside have a special taste.Therefore, he also took Sun Hancheng to visit many times.

In order to prevent being late, he deliberately left the house a quarter of an hour earlier.When he arrived at the tavern, he realized that the second prince had already arrived.Today's Zhang Xuan seems to have specially dressed up, unlike yesterday's simplicity.Light blue brocade gown, neckline and cuffs embroidered with silver thread piping; around the waist is a brocade belt of auspicious clouds and a white jade pendant.

For a while, Pei Ziqi looked a little absent-minded.The handsome guy is always surprisingly handsome when he dresses up a little bit.He immediately came back to his senses, cupped his hands and apologized: "My minister is late, please blame me, Your Highness."

Zhang Xuan smiled and helped him up: "It's not that you are late, it's that I came early. You don't need to be polite outside the palace, just call me by my name."

Pei Ziqi paused, nodded and asked tentatively: "Your Highness, do you like this place very much?"

Zhang Xuan shook his head, "It's my first time here." At the end, he added: "I didn't want Master Pei to wait for me, so I came a little earlier."

Pei Ziqi was a little dazed: "Your Highness..."

"Second brother, you are here too."

A man's voice came from behind him suddenly, and Pei Ziqi froze involuntarily.He was sure it was the first time he had heard the sound.He had never heard such a pleasant voice, deep and clear, like a stream flowing quietly, and like a torrent slapping heavily in his heart.With a soft sentence, you don't need to turn your head to connect with the third prince. It seems that only he is worthy of such a beautiful voice.

Sure enough, Zhang Xuan bypassed him, and smiled behind him: "Third brother, why are you here?"

"Qing'er often comes here. Now that I'm back in Beijing, come and have a look."

Zhang Xuan was slightly taken aback, "Is it Mr. Yun?"

The third prince nodded and said with a smile: "Every once in a while, Qing'er will bring me here. If I can't come, he will ask me to make up for it." Suddenly, the smile broke and the gentleness disappeared. Out of bitterness, he continued: "I still owe him twice, so let's take a look..."

Zhang Xuan touched his shoulder, sighed and said, "I've heard a little bit about Mr. Yun, so I'm sorry."

The third prince just smiled, and said again: "Second brother is here to meet with friends?"

Pei Ziqi turned around quickly, lowered his eyes and lowered his head, and said, "My minister is joining the Third Prince."

The third prince stopped smiling, and said sharply: "You raise your head."
