He stood in the center of the court hall, looking up at the golden imperial screen and the chair in front of which was carved with golden dragon and auspicious clouds. Two dragon heads were looking at him coldly at the armrest.

Putting on the dragon robe for the first time, his whole body was dazzling and heavy, and he felt that his shoulders could not stand up straight.

However, the mood at the moment, the excitement, the joy of victory made him stare at the chair tightly, as if he was attracted by it, he couldn't help moving forward.

But at the same time, he felt scared, lonely and cold like a dormant monster grazing on his heart.

"So you also want this chair..." An empty and familiar voice sounded in the empty hall, with a mocking smile.

His raised footsteps stopped immediately, and he even took a step back. The dragon robe he was wearing made him even more ashamed. He argued: "No, it's not me, it's them..."

"Your majesty, it's time for you to succeed." A kind voice came from the side, urging, "The crown prince is dead, and you are the emperor of this Great Yan. Long live my emperor."

After him, a tidal wave of "Long live my emperor, long live, long live—" instantly drowned out the previous voice.

Although he washed away his guilt, the voice was too loud, and he couldn't make them stop even after he yelled to stop several times. Even taking a step back, it was even louder, forcing him to move forward.

He became more and more frightened, and stayed where he was, breaking down several times like a puppet.

Suddenly his hands felt hot, and he held his cold fingers with one hand. He lowered his head and saw a pair of cat-like round eyes, which were clear and bright, slightly curved, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't be afraid, I will accompany you." Walk."

The voice was extremely clear and warm, and the tide of Long Live the Emperor subsided in an instant. He held his younger brother's hand firmly and walked towards the dragon chair step by step...

Emperor Yan opened his eyes, the sky was still dark, and the eunuch who was called at this moment had not come yet, so he suddenly realized that it was his dream.

He raised his hand to cover his face, and felt something wet.

He sat up hugging the quilt, staring blankly at the tears on his hands, for some reason, he felt a little more relaxed in his heart.

"Come on." He called out.

A rustling sound came from outside the hall, Zhang Banban raised the bed curtain and said respectfully, "Your Majesty?"

"After the morning court, Prince Xuanyi, join me for lunch."

Li Li ate a bowl of stewed silver fish soup slowly, and heard Emperor Yan tell Yuan Meiqing about seeing him.

He didn't mention Concubine Yuan, let alone his own gaffe, but only mentioned the speculation that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials was abandoned by the left minister and now wants to ask for his life.

Li Li picked up the handkerchief beside him and wiped the corners of his mouth, then looked at the troubled Emperor Yan, and said with a smile: "Then brother, do you mean to listen?"

Emperor Yan pondered: "Yuan Meiqing has been with Prime Minister Zuo for many years, if we have a handle on him, Ah Li, it will be a chance for us to bring him down..."

The two brothers endured, were careful, and acted cautiously step by step, wasn't it just to deal with Zuoxiang in the end?If someone's confidant turns against him, no matter what the purpose is, Emperor Yan is very willing to move.

"But Prime Minister Zuo knows about it." Li Li said.

Emperor Yan was taken aback: "What?"

"Brother Huang, these two have always been Meng Bulijiao, Jiao Bulimeng, and suddenly parted ways at this critical time, don't you think it's a little deliberate?" Although Li Li was not in the court, the news of the disagreement between the two was very clear, and he sneered , stand still.

Emperor Yan nodded hesitantly.

"The other party is a thousand-year-old fox. Prime Minister Zuo may not be able to help Yuan Meiqing get rid of the crime, but he will definitely not watch him fall to our side without moving. Maybe it is his conspiracy?"

Li Li looked at Emperor Yan and smiled, "For example, to provoke the trust between us brothers, it's more fatal than anything else."

Emperor Yan's heart thumped when he saw Li Li's clear eyes. He didn't dare to look directly at him, so he could only avoid his eyes and said, "What you said is very reasonable."

"Brother Huang, the more we have to be calm at this time. Perhaps Yuan Meiqing found himself in danger after learning from Xiong Ling's mistakes, and suspected that the left side was unreliable, so it is also possible to surrender to Brother Huang in private. Although I think It doesn’t look like it, after all, who would want to secretly betray the old master?”

Emperor Yan nodded subconsciously, and Li Li then continued: "No matter what, there is no reason to let Yuan Meiqing go under the heinous crime. Otherwise, how can I explain to the people of Yunzhou and the world? As for Prime Minister Zuo, after losing two arms, The power in the court is definitely not as good as before, and it is easy to overthrow a tiger that has lost its claws and claws."

Everything was always understated in front of Li Li. Seeing his younger brother's confident appearance, Emperor Yan couldn't help but twitched his lips and said with emotion: "You still understand."

"It's clear to the onlookers, it's easy for a military adviser to come up with an idea, but it's hard for a commander to make a decision. Brother Huang is worried about gains and losses."

"You are not just a military advisor... With Ah Li here, I just need to sit back and enjoy his achievements." Emperor Yan said.

Li Li opened his eyes wide: "Isn't that good enough? The emperor, how could he do it himself? Didn't he sit on the dragon chair and wave his sleeves, so that the loyal people rushed up and killed the treacherous officials and thieves? Listen! It's cool."

Emperor Yan laughed at Li Li's description, and couldn't help but said, "So that's how it is."

Li Li rolled his eyes at him: "I didn't sleep well last night, I thought too much about it, and I have dark circles under my eyes. The whitebait soup made by this chef today tastes good, drink more."

Emperor Yan said without thinking: "If you like it, let him go to the palace to make it for you."

"That's not necessary. A few days ago, my mother was nagging me that I can't always take advantage of the emperor's brother, and I have lost the distinction between a monarch and a minister." Li Li pursed her lips and said unhappy, "She doesn't want to think about his recent efforts. No matter how hard it is, Brother Huang can't help but feel sorry for me, it's too much!"

Emperor Yan couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, and he couldn't help saying angrily: "The queen mother is also true, you and I are brothers, we are siblings of the same mother, and our affection is extraordinary, why bother to make such a difference."

Just as he was talking, Zhang Banban came in to report: "Your Majesty, Princess Lin'an is here."

This lunch was pretty much the same. As soon as Princess Lin'an came, Emperor Yan asked someone to remove the table, serve tea, and asked Li Li: "Last time you said to take a good look at Liu Qiwen for that girl Muyang, how is it, how is it?" gone?"

Holding the tea, Li Li said lightly, "I'm afraid this is a bit complicated. If it's my idea, I'll take another look."

Not only Emperor Yan frowned, but Princess Lin'an was also anxious when she heard this, and asked, "Why? A man and a woman are indeed a good match. Could it be that Liu Qiwen already has a wife in his family?"

Liu Qiwen was handsome, young and talented. After looking at it again and again, Princess Lin'an was actually very satisfied with this son-in-law.

Li Li shook his head: "It shouldn't be counted."

"Then what are you against?" Emperor Yan asked strangely.

Li Li muttered, but he couldn't say anything until the matter was clarified, so he looked at them and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry, that girl Mu Yang is only sixteen, so it's okay to stay for another two years to see each other slowly?"

"Sixteen is not young anymore." The eldest princess of Lin'an gave him a sharp look, "A girl can't afford to delay her flower letter, and she's not as capable of messing around as you are."

This is about the "epic and tearful" love between Li Li and Fan Zhiyuan.

Although everyone in the entire capital knew that they were a couple, there were actually not many who were really optimistic that they would make it to the end.

Li Li's absurdity is absurd, but men in this era are princes, if they want to marry a wife and have children in the future, there will be many girls at any age.

The so-called prodigal son is not exchanged for money, and the identity of the prince and concubine can squeeze people's heads.

Li Li: "I'm not messing around, but I'm serious. I will never change until death. The kind of husband who sings and who follows." He looked at Emperor Yan and said.

However, Emperor Yan nodded perfunctorily, instead of arguing with him, he said to Princess Lin'an: "A Li's idea is too weird, I have observed Liu Qiwen for a long time, and I am very satisfied, sister Huang, don't worry."

"I think so too. In the future, with the emperor watching, I won't be able to treat Mu Yang badly." Princess Lin'an said with a smile.

"But what if there is a lover?" Li Li asked.

Princess Lin'an asked back: "If it's broken, is it true that Mu Yang is no better than a girl from a small family?"

Li Li: "..." He had a question mark on his face, can he still play like this?

"After two days, choose a date, and I will propose marriage for them." Emperor Yan said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Lin'an will take his leave first."

Li Li: "..." No one listened to him.

As soon as Lin'an's figure left the palace gate, Li Li grabbed his brother and asked, "I really don't think this person is good. There is a girl who has been wandering around the door of Liu Qiwen's house for the past two days. She is from their hometown. It seems unclear." Chu, maybe it was a private appointment for life before? Then seeing that you were going to marry me, brother Huang, you immediately abandoned Qingmei from your hometown and asked to marry a noble girl. You didn't even let anyone in. Such a irresponsible man, It's not good."

"Have you investigated everything clearly?" Emperor Yan asked.

Li Li shook his head: "Isn't this still being investigated? Who knew that the two of you are so anxious, and it's about Mu Yang's life's happiness, so you can't be more cautious? If it's true, Liu Qiwen is a bully!"

Emperor Yan was almost speechless: "Which kind of lord is bullying? A Li, he does not have a wife, even if he has a common room, it is justifiable, and he is at this age. Besides, since he wants to marry the county lord, he really has to marry someone else. The woman is clean, and I think it's right not to meet in private. Liu Qiwen is very capable, and I will use it again in the future, so he won't dare to treat Mu Yang badly, so don't worry."

What is he worried about?And why is the idea so weird?

Li Li looked at Emperor Yan strangely, and suddenly understood that these two guys are actually the same, they are both scumbags at heart.

He clicked his tongue twice, didn't try to persuade him any more, and ran to see the queen mother.

In Cishou Palace, the Empress Dowager turned out of the small Buddhist hall after paying homage to the Bodhisattva, and passed a crispy pear over after listening to her youngest son's complaints.

Li Li ate it, and said: "It's fine, Brother Huang, why does Sister Huang think the same way, is this kind of half-hearted man more troublesome? Believe my vision, he will become a monster in the future when he becomes successful."

With a smile on her face, the Queen Mother said lightly: "Aren't you busy with the affairs of the Ministry of Officials? You are also worried about Mu Yang's marriage, okay? Since Lin'an likes it, this is her business."

Li Li muttered, "It's my niece anyway."

"The honor of the county lord, you can't suffer."

"How can you do that?" Li Li said disapprovingly.

Sometimes the queen mother is really amused by the innocence of the youngest son: "You, when you say that you are full of eyes, you are really stupid when you are stupid. A Li, listen to the mother's persuasion, and leave this matter alone. Liu Qiwen is the emperor. For those who place high hopes on Mu Yang, he doesn't care if Mu Yang is doing well, if you really spoil him, let alone the emperor will not be happy, Lin'an may have to blame you."

Li Li is not a fool, he immediately stopped talking.

The Queen Mother handed over another crispy pear, her eyes filled with love and affection: "Aijia sometimes wonders why you were born so soft-hearted. It's rare in this world, and you will suffer."

Li Li disagreed: "Nonsense, I am the only one who suffers from others. Look at Zuo Xiang and Marquis Wu Ning, they all changed their expressions when they talked about me." He was quite proud when he said it.

The queen mother laughed, but her eyes became serious: "A Li, the Ai family is not worried about those enemies on the surface, but... their own people."

Li Li was startled: "Mother..."

The queen mother patted Li Li's head: "Go, Ai's family needs to take a nap for a while, remember, A Li, you must protect yourself."
