After the cannon fodder prince collapsed, the country will not perish

"So you're disrespecting your brother in front of so many people?" Xie Huaiwei said coldly: "It's not a big event to worship the heaven and worship the envoys. I'm also a prince after all. Isn't it right to go to see the envoys? Will the king tremble and live under others for the rest of his life?"

Xie Huaiwei felt very wronged.

In all fairness, he accompanied his father and brother in the north and south, and made a lot of contributions over the years.

Even his martial arts skills on the battlefield are better than that of his elder brother.But he has always respected his elder brother very much, followed him wholeheartedly, and never thought about anything else.

But one time when the city was about to fall, the eldest brother Xie Huayan ordered them to go first, but he stayed behind to cut off the enemy.

Under the siege of the enemy, Xie Huayan got an arrow in his hand bone.

Although the rescue was timely, the little finger was still gone.

At first, Xie Huaiwei was grateful and guilty for his brother's injury. In countless midnight dreams, he thought that if he had disobeyed and stayed and let his elder brother go first, with his own skills, he would not have been injured.

But after the father ascended the throne, as time passed, things were a little different.

The eldest brother occupies the position of the prince, but he is repeatedly neglected by his father, and the carriages and horses in front of the door wither.

On the other hand, he was full of favors, there were eunuchs and maids serving him attentively when he entered the palace, and he was welcomed by everyone when he left the palace.

Who doesn't say something in his heart, the second prince of the current dynasty is handsome and handsome, with the demeanor of a king?

In addition, he and his eldest brother have very different personalities, and it is inevitable that there will be hostility in the court. From the very beginning, Xie Huaiwei wanted to prove it to his elder brother, but he began to simply fight for himself.

He has always been strong, thinking that if one day... Will Xie Huayan still turn a blind eye to him?

And at that time, he, Xie Huaiwei, would no longer be obsessed with anyone's smiling faces and compliments.

The praise of those young men just now almost made him feel ecstatic, but he was pulled back to the ground by Xie Qingci's words.

"Where is this king wanting to prove? This is obviously my father's intention for me. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that my elder brother has a disability. This king can show the country's prestige even more. Why should this king be humble?"

"Demonstrating national prestige?" Xie Qingci said indifferently: "Could it be that the court's national prestige depends on its appearance? Do you think you are going to get married? Don't think of the envoys of the Northern Kingdom as superficial..."

Xie Huaiwei choked, and muttered: "But elder brother attending such a place, wouldn't it embarrass everyone around him?"

"Will you lose face when you get injured on the battlefield?" Xie Qingci looked at Xie Huaishao: "Second brother, have you forgotten why the prince was injured?"

"Isn't it because of you?"

These words exploded in Xie Huaiwei's ears like thunder, and his momentum died down immediately: "Stop talking..."

"If it weren't for the second brother, you ignored His Highness the Crown Prince and attacked rashly, how could we have been defeated? How could the enemy army have entered the city?"

"Over the years, His Royal Highness has scolded you many times, but has he ever scolded you for this?"

Xie Huaiwei put his hands into his temples, his eyes flashed with pain, and he murmured: "Qing Ci, stop talking..."

Xie Qingci raised the corners of his lips mockingly: "Second brother, I believe in you, I believe that you must have been full of guilt and self-blame towards His Highness the Crown Prince at first, but as time goes on, if His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't mention it, you will forget cause and effect, don't you?" Now, do you still want to step on his sore spot to win the crown prince?"

Xie Huaiwei trembled, his lips turned gray in an instant, he didn't dare to look into his younger brother's eyes, and almost ran away: "Enough! This king will go to ask father to resign tomorrow!"

After saying that, he immediately turned around and left.

Xie Qingci looked at Xie Huaiwei's back in a daze.

My brother's voice was very cold, like thin ice on a winter lake that hadn't melted for a long time.

Xie Qingci shook his head lightly.

Throne, power, no young prince can resist the temptation of more than ten thousand people...

What's more, Xie Huaiwei, who has fought on the battlefield and is eager to make contributions?

The reason why Xie Huaiwei could be moved by his statement today, in the final analysis, is because the second brother has respect and love and guilt for the eldest brother.

But the breeding of desire/desire will not stagnate, and one day, it will overshadow the incomplete brotherhood, and they may still be like the last life...

Parting ways, fighting in the same room...

Xie Qingci felt cold all over, but he knew that the key to this matter was not the second brother, but the father.

If the father hadn't treated his son as a pawn to weigh, held the crown prince securely, and strictly ordered the second elder brother to go out of the capital and take over the domain, there wouldn't be so many gossip and whimsical thoughts...

But now the father is increasingly indifferent to the elder brother, it is not easy for the father to recognize and accept the elder brother again.

In the past few days, no matter whether it is outside the court or in the palace, everyone is discussing a beautiful story in the court.

The young and promising Second Highness, who was unparalleled in the limelight, even took the initiative to ask to see His Majesty, begging on his knees to hand over the matter of receiving the envoys from the Northern Kingdom to the Crown Prince.

The emperor was furious and ordered him to kneel outside the palace gate to reflect.

But an hour later, the Second Highness still did not change his mind.

The emperor withdrew his will with a sigh, and re-entrusted the errand to the crown prince according to the second Highness's wishes.

For a time, both inside and outside the government and the public sighed.

"Tell me, all the dynasties have only heard of two brothers fighting for the throne, but never heard of a prince who disobeyed the imperial decree and was punished in order to give benefits to his elder brother?"

"That's right. In the past, I only thought that His Highness the Second Highness was good at fighting, but now I see that he is still a man of style and humility..."

"However, even if the crown prince accepts the errand, he probably won't be very happy—I heard that His Majesty was there and His Highness actually called the crown prince to the palace after kneeling all night, saying that it is because of your brother's wholehearted respect for you. Come on, this job is still up to you..."

"This... If I were the prince, I would definitely vomit to death..."

"Ham, who's to say it's not, I originally deserved it, but now it seems like I've picked up a gift from others..."

"It has gained a lot of fame." The man whispered, "Those officials who were watching were also saying that His Highness is a person who values ​​love and righteousness, and understands righteousness. Now that the crown prince has lost power, following him, I am afraid that in the future The future is limitless.”

Xie Qingci also knew about this, and went to the East Palace specially at night.

As soon as I stepped into the palace gate, I felt bleak and cold.

A few remnants of lotus floated on the dark lake, the palace lanterns hanging on the corners of the eaves were dim, and the whole East Palace did not show the slightest joy after winning the decree.

Thinking about it, even if the Crown Prince personally attended the event, it all depended on the humility of the Second Highness, and the emperor personally praised the Second Highness...

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the prince has fallen out of favor.

Come to think of it, when the elder brother was not injured a few years ago, he was also an amazingly talented young man. From being respected by thousands of people to being able to see pity in his eyes anytime and anywhere, it took just over a year...

Suddenly falling from the clouds, the elder brother... must feel uncomfortable.

Xie Huayan was sitting by the stone table, his face still calm. He was tall, with serious eyebrows, and the dragon pattern on his sleeves was shining brightly, maintaining the dignity of the prince of a country impeccably.

It's just that he, who rarely drinks alcohol, is drinking at night facing the lake in the courtyard.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he raised his head, with a bit of drunkenness in his eyes: "Qingci is here?"

Xie Qingci met his elder brother's eyes and suddenly didn't know how to say it.

"Come, let's have a few drinks with brother." Xie Huayan poured the wine with his own hands, motioning Xie Qingci to sit down.

Xie Qingci looked at his brother drinking slowly, and felt a pain in his heart: "Brother, did you drink this pot of wine?"

He remembered that Xie Huayan had always been very measured, and the wine always touched his lips lightly.

Xie Huayan smiled and did not answer, but fixedly looked at his anxious brother.

It's interesting to say that in that long dream, Xie Qingci also came at this time, and his appearance was much more fierce than now. He said that he was the heir of a country, but he was so humiliated. On the contrary, he felt more resentment towards Xie Huaiwei.

But his mood is stable now.

After that dream, he suddenly felt that the big dream was flashy and always felt unreal.

He had watched a lot of these plots in his dream. If there was no mistake in his memory, it would probably be a fight between brothers afterward, and the fisherman would benefit from it.

As for who benefited, it was blurred in that dream...

Xie Qingci's eyes fell on his brother's hand, and the leather case wrapped his whole hand, covering the incomplete part...

Ever since he was injured, my eldest brother has been wearing this leather case day and night, and has never intended to take it off...

This is probably the big brother's knot.

Xie Qingci didn't stop his brother from drinking, but drank two glasses with him. He didn't hold enough alcohol, so he returned to Liuyun Palace with drunken eyes.

Xie Qingci came in with flimsy footsteps, Xiao Di got up and grabbed his arm.

The faint smell of wine filled the air, and Xie Qingci's eyes were a little more dizzy and drunk.

Xiao Di lowered his eyes to look at him, and paused: "Where did your Highness go?"

"It surprised me that……"

"Obviously everything has started again, but where does everything seem to be going well?" Xie Qingci raised his eyes, looking at Xiao Di with fascinated eyes, as if trying to recognize: "Xiao Di...you pretend to Such a cute appearance? Who are you planning to deceive?"

"I've known your wolf ambitions for a long time, and I also know what you're planning..." Xie Qingci seemed to be very drunk, he was in a daze trying to find his way back to the dormitory, his body almost fell over.

Xiao Di stretched out his hand and put his arms around the young man's thin shoulders.

The warm breath was itchy in the neck, Xiao Di lowered his eyes, staring at the young man curled up in his arms, and said in a deep tone, "What does brother think A Di wants?"

"You..." Xie Qingci raised his eyes, met Xiao Di's long eyes with a smile, his breath stopped, and he snorted: "What you Xiao thinks is treason, a crime that deserves death!"

Did my brother know what he was thinking?

And... still chuckling at him with your lips hooked like this?

This sentence made Xiao Di unable to bear it any longer. He held up Xie Qingci's exquisite chin, and covered his wine-stained lips with his cool fingers: "It doesn't matter if you are a big treason or a crime that deserves death. No one can stop it."

"..."

Xie Qingci's long eyes darkened, and the smell of alcohol immediately dissipated a bit.

Xiao Di was... so easily tried out by him?

The author has something to say: Qing Ci: Surprise!Sure enough, he is plotting again!

Didi: Shocked!Brother actually saw through my thoughts and laughed at me while drunk?
