The Prince and the Demon Monk [Rebirth]

The next day, when Liang Ji returned to Hongwen Hall for class, he was in a good mood.

Daqi men and women are not very strict in defense. Before the age of seven, the prince and princess are enlightened in the Zhilan Palace, and after the age of seven, they enter the Mingde Palace. The prince will also have a separate prince and Taifu. Only when you are old can you get an errand and walk in various ministries.

Liang Ji's good mood didn't last long. As soon as he stepped into Zhilan Hall, he saw the sixth prince squatting in front of the eighth prince. The eighth prince was holding the sixth prince's arm. She, the sixth prince seems to have said something, the sixth prince's eyes immediately turned redder, his face showed a look of reluctance, and his mouth was pouted high, causing the sixth prince to let out a helpless and indulgent chuckle , stretched out his hand to pinch his younger brother's chubby mouth, shook his head and sighed.

Liang Ji couldn't hear what the two were talking about, but he thought it had something to do with him, because when the eighth prince raised his head, he happened to see him stepping in through the door. A trace of panic flashed across his face, and then he looked like he wanted to be angry but didn't dare to be angry. The Sixth Prince seemed to be aware of his expression, and turned to see Liang Ji, with no trace of surprise on his face, and a flawless and irreproachable smile, as if he had never remembered the cricket incident the day before yesterday.

He Shi Shiran got up and said politely, "I have seen His Royal Highness King Rong."

Liang Ji took it calmly, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the sixth prince dragging the eighth prince, and the eighth prince also whispered: "I have seen His Royal Highness King Rong."

Daqi learned the lessons from the previous dynasties. It is inevitable that the princes will own the land and become kings. According to the emperor's decision, the Queen has no real power in her hands, so she only has the manor land, which is allocated by the Huangzhuang. Therefore, the title of Prince Daqi is more like a means for the emperor to show his favor.

The second prince and the four princes were all named kings at the age of seven, which is already too early, but Liang Jishang was named King Rong when he was still in his infancy. Because Li Duqiu won the Northern Great War that year, Emperor Ming Yuan once said to Li Duqiu in private "The Ninth Prince and the Crown Prince are siblings with the same mother, and you have a heroic uncle like Li Aiqing. You will be honored and honored throughout your life. Li Aiqing has made great achievements in the world, and there is nothing to reward. I will make your nephew the King of Rong, how about it?"

Since ancient times, courtiers are most jealous of meritorious deeds. Emperor Ming Yuan's words seem to be rewards, but they are actually beatings. King Rong Rongwang, Emperor Ming Yuan meant that there is honor but no reality, and he mentioned the prince again, as if a warning, so "Rong Wang "This title has always been a thorn in Empress Li's heart.

Outsiders don't know, they only think that the Li family is in full swing and powerful. Although Li Duqiu is quite low-key, Empress Li is unavoidable. And her outstanding achievements will only make the emperor more suspicious, and she herself is also respectful and modest in her actions, except that the phoenix and the palace hand are the same as the iron bucket, and she often asks the queen mother for the affairs of the harem, which is quite the queen mother's favor.

Neither the sixth prince nor the eighth prince had a title on them. When they saw the ninth prince, even if they were born as elder brothers, they would have to pay respects as courtiers first, while the ninth prince only needed to return home.

"I've seen Brother Six." Liang Ji looked at the Eighth Prince who was cowering behind the Sixth Prince, "I've seen Brother Eight. The day before yesterday was my king's fault. As the saying goes, don't do to others what you don't want. Brother Eighth Emperor does not want to lend the things he loves to his younger brother. Even if his younger brother has never teased General Qiu, no matter how novel this thing is in his heart, he should not take it away from others. Today, the king will give you an agate for weaving. As an apology, this thing can also be used as a paperweight, Brother Eight Huang loves fighting crickets and insects so much, I think I will like it."

As he spoke, the little eunuch behind Liang Ji bowed and presented a gilded wooden box, and the eighth prince looked up at the sixth prince with a look of panic.

The three of them stood in the court, and they had already attracted a lot of direct or subtle scrutiny. The sixth prince lowered his head and gave the eighth prince a comforting smile. Compared with him, Sixth Brother thanked you here, this compensation is absolutely unacceptable."

Liang Ji also knew that if the sixth prince accepted this gift from him today, it would be rumored later that the eighth prince didn't know how to be courteous. Everyone criticized him the day before yesterday, so he must let the other party accept this compensation today.

"Does the sixth brother want my ninth brother to have trouble sleeping and eating?" Liang Ji showed an aggrieved look, and looked at the eighth prince, "I really know that I was wrong. If you don't accept my apology, the ninth brother may not be able to do so." Forgive me."

The eighth prince was always weak and incompetent, with a simple mind. Seeing Liang Ji showing such a pitiful expression, although he still had some doubts in his heart, his expression relaxed a lot. Besides, he and the sixth prince were not valued and rarely received rewards. There is no money to rely on, and it is inconvenient to do things. Hearing that it is an agate for weaving, I feel a little longing in my heart, and I want to give it to my brother, so that I can get some money in the court.

So he said, "I forgive you."

Liang Jixin sneered, with a look of surprise on his face, and said to the little eunuch beside him: "Not yet presented to the Eighth Prince."

A trace of gloom flashed between the sixth prince's brows, and finally turned into helplessness, signaling to the eunuch behind him to take over the wooden box.

This subtle change of expression fell into Liang Ji's eyes, and Liang Ji immediately envied the eighth prince. This man is so stupid, but he has an elder brother who never dislikes him. This is not the first time he sees the sixth prince giving the eighth prince away. When going to school, the second prince sometimes sends someone to send some food to his younger sister, the seventh princess. The tenth princess and the eleventh prince are twins, with the deepest affection and closeness. There is a lonely family in Zhilan Palace.

His pretty brother sent him to school once...

In fact, Liang Cheng came to visit him, but every time he stood behind the lush plantain, looked at it for a few times, and then left. The first time Liang Ji drew his bow, Liang Cheng was worried for a whole day, afraid that he would not Be careful not to get hurt, I also sent pastries to others, but they were all thrown away by the people arranged by Empress Li to be next to Liang Ji.

Liang Ji didn't know about these things, but day after day, he felt mixed emotions of anticipation and resentment toward Liang Cheng.

Stimulated by the brotherly love between the sixth prince and the eighth prince, Liang Ji's original good mood because the prince gave him a Western clock was worn out. He still had a decent smile on his face, but he was very depressed in his heart. Shelf, into the hall.

As a result, as soon as he entered the palace, he saw the Eleventh Prince pointing at the sentences on the book, reading each word to the Tenth Princess inarticulately, and at the end he said quite maturely: "Sister, can you hear me clearly now?"

The tenth princess wrinkled her face and muttered: "When you are studying, can you suck up your saliva, it's not clear at all, it's just the sound of saliva."

Liang Ji sat in the seat in front of them quietly, opened the book, stared at the small print in front of him, and was silently in a daze.

The tenth princess and the eleventh prince are twins, and the mother concubine, Concubine Zhao Hui, is a side branch of the Empress Dowager's natal family. She is very much loved by the Empress Dowager and her elders. Putting it there, he looked calm and kind on weekdays. The two children quickly got close to him, but they were separated by a layer. Besides, Liang Ji was kind and pleasant to them at the beginning, which was also ordered by Empress Li.

In the afternoon, it was riding and archery. The royal court recently sent a batch of hard-earned horses and ponies. All the princes and princesses gathered at the side of the imperial court, eager to find a good horse.

Liang Ji saw the elder brother of the prince walking in front of everyone at a glance. The other prince was wearing the prince's uniform and walking slowly. The rest of the princes were more or less excited, but the prince had a calm smile on his face. , looks majestic, graceful and dignified.

Seemingly aware of Liang Ji's gaze, Liang Cheng turned his head and saw that it was Liang Ji, his eyes slightly bent, and he walked towards him.

Liang Ji's hands hidden in his sleeves tightened, and when the crown prince walked in front of him, he bowed and said: "My brother has seen His Royal Highness the crown prince." Then he bowed to the other princes one by one.

"Does Ji'er value anything?" Liang Cheng asked gently.

Liang Ji glanced at the second and fourth princes, and said, "Ji'er will wait until the elder brothers have made their choice."

"Ninth brother is really sensible, but older brothers are too embarrassed to compete with younger brothers." The second emperor brother smiled kindly, raised his voice, and said to the other little princes: "You guys choose first, pick the best one."

"Thank you, second brother." All the little radish heads thanked in unison, and then looked at Liang Cheng, Liang Cheng nodded with a smile, and told the horse slaves: "Take care of yourself."

With Liang Cheng's approval, everyone cheered and ran towards the imperial arena, and the horse slaves followed one by one, fearing that these nobles with golden branches, jade leaves and heavenly decorations would get hurt in any way.

"Why doesn't the ninth brother go up?" The fourth prince smiled and said.

Liang Ji glanced at the sixth prince behind him. The other party had been secretly paying attention to the eighth prince on the imperial court. He pouted in his heart, held Liang Cheng's hand, raised his head and said, "Third brother, help me choose a horse." Bar."

Liang Cheng lowered his head, seeing Liang Ji's black and bright eyes staring at him, he couldn't help but nodded and said "OK", he held Liang Ji's hand behind his back, and said to his side: "Second brother, third brother, sixth brother, You can do whatever you want, I will accompany Ji'er to pick up the horse first."

As soon as the words fell, screams suddenly came from the imperial court. Liang Ji turned his head and saw the Eighth Prince hugging the horse's neck, charging towards him and the prince. The two were on the edge of the imperial court, and the horse was close by. In front of him, there is no way to avoid it!

Before Liang Ji could react, he was hugged and moved aside by Liang Cheng. Liang Cheng was only twelve or thirteen years old at the time and hadn't practiced lightness kung fu yet, so his movements were a little awkward, and he held Liang Ji in his arms. His back fell heavily on the ground, just in time for a large stone on the ground to hit his vest, Liang Cheng's face turned pale immediately.

"Qing'er!" At this moment, the sixth prince's mournful cry sounded as tragic as weeping blood, and Liang Ji suddenly saw blood all over the place not far away.

……

The eighth prince died, and his death was miserable.

He fell from the horse's back and was trampled on the back of the neck by a horse's hoof, killing him on the spot.

The sixth prince hugged the eighth prince's body, vomited a mouthful of blood, and fainted on the spot.

Liang Ji had nightmares for a long time afterwards, in which the cricket he trampled to death always coincided with the death of the Eighth Prince.
