I run a newspaper in ancient times

When the Forbidden Army was dispatched, Prime Minister Zuo got the news, and the Minister of the Household Department was shocked when he heard the report: "Prince Yi really dares to mobilize the Forbidden Army without an order. Is he planning to rebel?"

Zuo Xiang's face was gloomy, and his eyes were cloudy and uncertain. He always felt that Li Li did things upright, abided by his duty, and would not do such disloyal and unrighteous things, which made people criticize. He never expected...

"It seems that the prince wants to replace him." Zuo Xiang murmured.

Zhen Weimin panicked when he heard the words: "How could it be?"

He always thought that Prince Yi was just putting on a show. If he really had this idea, how could such a high-profile manner make Emperor Yan fear him so much.

Left Prime Minister replied: "It wasn't possible before, but it doesn't mean it won't happen now."

Any heartfelt courtier who is so suspicious and targeted by the emperor, even if he does not hesitate to join hands with the enemy, would have to think differently, let alone Li Li who has the ability, means and qualifications?

At this point, the two brothers can no longer coexist peacefully.

"Master Xiang, why are you not in a hurry at all! If the lord comes back from this assassination, I'm afraid he won't let it go! The lord doesn't have to do anything with the emperor, but we..." Zhen Weimin only needs to think of the body that has turned into the mud of a mass grave. Colleagues were frightened for a while.

Prime Minister Zuo glanced at his hopeless look, shook his head and said: "It's useless to be anxious, the forbidden army has surrounded Linshan, and they are all under the control of Fan Zhiyuan, even the emperor has nothing to do, what I can do now is to wait."

"Wait?" Zhen Weimin repeated, watching Prime Minister Zuo raised his head, followed his gaze to the side of the mountain, and couldn't help asking: "Can it be successful?"

The left minister chuckled: "If you don't succeed, we will be benevolent. If you succeed, there is room for maneuver."

Zhen Weimin swallowed, and dared not speak again.

At this time, there was a noise outside, and the servants rushed in and said, "Master Xiang, the forbidden army is here!"

In the camp near the mountain paddock, a large number of forbidden soldiers suddenly poured in, and "sent" all of them back to their tents politely and forcefully. This move filled the entire camp with a tense atmosphere.

The imperial army broke in, and the faces of the civil servants who stayed in the camp to deal with affairs suddenly changed. They all looked at the left minister in unison, and the latter smiled coldly: "The old man can command the imperial army."

Gu Rushi was not fooled by him, from the time when Emperor Yan handed over the management of the Linshan paddock to Marquis Wu Ning, until last night he had to force Li Li to accompany the second prince of Daxia to hunt, he knew that something big would happen today!

But now it is the critical moment for Dayan to take back the four prefectures of Yanjing from Daxia, and the two countries sign a friendly agreement. Why can't they send the envoys of Daxia away and start internal strife?

"Master Zuo, I still call you Lord Master, you shouldn't have forgotten the righteousness of your family and country, have you?" Gu Rushi raised his hands to kowtow, looking at Prime Minister Zuo and asked word by word.

Gu Rushi's words made the civil servants who fell silent all around look at Prime Minister Zuo, and Zhen Weimin who was sitting on the side couldn't help turning his face away.

But Zuo Xiang looked at him coldly and said: "You don't need to teach this old man how to behave, to be loyal to the emperor and serve the master, Gu Rushi, you should keep it in mind."

As soon as the words fell, a young general of the forbidden army came in with his guards, and said loudly: "An assassin was found in the paddock. I have been ordered to protect you adults. For your safety, please stay here and don't walk around at will!"

Following his words, there was the sound of orderly footsteps outside the camp, and the place was surrounded by the imperial guards.

Prime Minister Zuo didn't move, only a sarcastic smile curled up on the corner of his mouth.

It was just a pun, but Gu Rushi was not stupid, he immediately thought of something, and asked with a worried face: "This general, do you know who was assassinated, and is the emperor safe?"

The young general of the Forbidden Army in front of him said neither humble nor overbearing: "With Commander Fan here, the emperor is naturally safe. The deputy commander has already gone to meet him, and he will be back soon."

Then it is self-evident who was assassinated.

At this moment, there is nothing to hide anymore, Gu Rushi looked at Prime Minister Zuo, holding back his anger and asked: "Is your target the lord, or the second prince of Daxia?"

Zuo Xiang didn't answer him, the presence of that old god made Gu Rushi feel chills in his heart.

In this stormy atmosphere, with the guards coming back and forth, the female relatives who don't know why are even more nervous and afraid.

In the empress's big tent, several concubines who followed were waiting nervously, and then saw the green cloud returning, and shook their heads at the empress: "Your Majesty, no one can get out, and your edict is useless."

"Crazy, is Fan Zhiyuan crazy? Where's the emperor, is he back?" the queen asked nervously.

Lu Yun said: "I came back, and I was 'invited' by Deputy Commander Huo to come back. Now no one can see the emperor, and they are all guarded by the imperial army, saying that they are afraid of assassins."

"Huo Xiaoxiang?" The queen was shocked, "Didn't he stay to guard the palace, protect the queen mother, and leave his post without permission?"

"The servant girl got the news... the queen mother's order."

The queen was simply stunned.

The concubines also looked at each other in blank dismay.

"How could it be, how could the Queen Mother..."

Lu Yun shook his head, expressing that he did not know.

The imperial concubine immediately stood up, straightened her skirt, and said with force, "I'm going back to the tent."

The queen didn't stop her, and even looked at her hopefully.

The noble concubine said and led the maid to the door, and the concubines in the tent all listened quietly, and then heard the stern and angry voice of the noble concubine, the threat implied in the words, and a loud slap, but Even so, she still walked back with someone, with an unconcealable anger under her beautiful eyebrows.

This is called protection, but it is actually under house arrest.

The queen had no choice but to say: "Then wait, wait for the news."

But the news soon came back—the second prince of Daxia was assassinated, Prince Yi fell off a cliff, and his life and death were uncertain.

Emperor Yan, who was under house arrest, was almost stunned when he heard the news.

That gloomy face full of restrained anger was instantly blank, and he asked subconsciously: "Say it again, what's wrong with Ali?"

"My lord fell off the cliff, and I don't know whether he is alive or dead."

Emperor Yan's pupils dilated suddenly, he stepped back, kicked the chair with his heel, and almost sat down, as if he couldn't believe it.

The guard who reported was still kneeling on the ground, until Zhang Banban ordered "Go down" on his behalf, then he raised his head and saw the emperor with his head down immersed in his own thoughts, so he left quietly.

Emperor Yan only felt that this was a dream. No matter how much he feared and hated Li Li, he never thought of letting his only younger brother die.

how can that be possible?he asked himself.

Li Li was so smart, it was impossible for him not to have noticed the arrangement of Prime Minister Zuo and Marquis Wu Ning, and even the Imperial Army could be transferred over without a sound, so how could there be no masters around him to deal with this assassination?

However, the guards would not fake this kind of news, Li Li was indeed dead.

died!

Emperor Yan's eyes slowly turned red, and his whole body was filled with sadness.

Now he is not at all annoyed at his younger brother's offense against him, the previous disrespect and threats have all disappeared, he just feels empty in his heart, and he can't help but recall the intimacy between brothers in the past.

He raised his hand to touch his eyes twice, and then said to Zhang Banban: "No matter what, Ah Li's body must be found, and he cannot be left here alone to be eaten by wild beasts."

Zhang Banban seemed to be surprised by the news just now, and it took a while before he came back to his senses, and hurriedly responded.

Then I heard Emperor Yan ask: "Where's Fan Zhiyuan?"

"Probably looking for the prince." Zhang Banban replied uncertainly.

Emperor Yan nodded: "It should be, he and A Li have a deep relationship, and I'm afraid it's hard to accept this fact." Having said that, he added, "It's the same for me, A Li..." Emperor Yan said two words The word choked up.

His sadness was not faked, but Zhang Banban still had to remind: "Your Majesty, please mourn, the Empress Dowager is still waiting for your comfort."

These words made Emperor Yan choke up.

The Empress Dowager was able to issue even the edicts of the Imperial Army for Li Li. If she knew that Li Li was dead, Emperor Yan could imagine how painful her old man would be, and he must be deeply blamed.

In the current situation, he cannot lose the Queen Mother's support. Li Li's contacts and things are beyond his control. Fan Zhiyuan alone is enough for him to burn out, and Zuo Xiang and Marquis Wu Ning must start again. thought.

He didn't have time to immerse himself in grief.

But before he could try to comfort the Queen Mother, Shi Yu broke in first.

"Li Hang, do you still have the heart!" The loud, weeping voice revealed Shi Yu's uncontrollable hysterical grief, which made her abandon her rational meekness and humility, and shouted at the emperor recklessly. question.

Those red eyes were full of sadness and anger, as well as disappointment enough to overwhelm Emperor Yan.

"I always thought you were mediocre, but you are not bad at heart. Although you are jealous of Ali, you know what is good or bad. He is your only brother! How can you bear it, how can you bear it?"

Shi Yu walked up step by step, her face covered with tears.

The moment she caught Li Li falling off the cliff, the tight string finally broke, and she finally couldn't help but broke in.

Tears flowed from the eyes, and Shi Yu walked in front of Emperor Yan and broke down in tears: "A Li helped you so much, and she was all for Dayan, how could you treat him like this? Li Hang, are you worthy of your own conscience? Or have you become an emperor, and you don’t even have the most basic human character? Am I blind...?"

"It's not me!" Emperor Yan recovered from his astonishment, and immediately retorted loudly, "It's not the assassin I arranged, I don't know! It's the left minister, it's Marquis Wu Ning, they are so daring!"

Shi Yu's arrival made Emperor Yan flustered, and he subconsciously said the excuses he had prepared in order to get Shi Yu's forgiveness.

However, Shi Yu laughed, and cried while laughing: "Really... a coward who dares to be a coward! Are you going to use such a clumsy excuse to explain to the Queen Mother! Who can't see what you think you have done? This killing Ah Li's chance was given by you, and you acquiesced!"

"I never thought of letting him die, no!" Emperor Yan could only cover up his guilt with a louder voice when Shi Yu said the central matter, his hands and feet were stiff, his neck was stiff, and he said forcefully, "This is an accident! The assassin wanted to kill Zhao Yu, he could protect himself, why bother..."

"Why?" Shi Yu laughed angrily at his unreasonable words, she raised her hand and wiped her face, "He just didn't want to cause war between the two countries, and he didn't want the poor people to go through war in the midst of the cold. Emperor Yan doesn't care about his subjects, he cares! But you, what you think about is..."

As the only daughter of the Grand Tutor, Shi Yu couldn't see Emperor Yan's purpose, but she couldn't tell the absurd but true reason.

It was hard for her to say it, but this man really did it.

Shi Yu finally closed her eyes, feeling as if her heart was being torn into pieces.

"You are despicable, I regret staying."

The words from Shi Yu's heart made Emperor Yan freeze in place instantly, his whole body was icy cold, as if even the last bit of warmth was far away from him.

He looked at Shi Yu in disbelief, with a raging storm in his eyes, he suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her hand, and said dangerously: "Ayu, are you angry?"

Shi Yu struggled for her hand, but she lost her strength, so she stopped struggling at all, raised her head, and said word by word: "I should know, you can watch the prince being framed for the sake of the throne, and if A Li is disobedient, naturally you will It can be removed with the help of others."

Emperor Yan's pupils shrank suddenly, and the strength in his hands instantly increased. Shi Yu was in pain, but she felt happy, her eyes washed by tears were sharp and bright: "You said you were a loner, but you did it."

Emperor Yan's face twisted, and Shi Yu's hand was trembling, but the latter's face was calm, and he just asked again: "The concubine's words are not condescending, what does the emperor plan to do with it, why not give him death? I am ashamed." For Ali, just go to accompany him."

For a moment, Emperor Yan really wanted to strangle this woman to death, but he held back.

He closed his eyes, let go of his hand slowly, rolled his throat, and said: "A Li is dead, no matter how much you grieve, he can't survive. A Yu, you will be my woman in this life, regret it It doesn’t matter whether you hate it or not, just stay in my cage and accompany me, so go down.”
