[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 7 Game 8

Li Zhi is the youngest son of the eldest grandson empress. He has been loved by his parents since he was a child. Not long after he was born, he was named the king of Jin.Even if he doesn't do anything and just lives on his salary, Li Zhi will have no worries about food and clothing, food and drink all his life.

As a prince, he doesn't want to be an emperor, but Li Zhi has two older brothers in front of him, who are much higher than him in terms of age, talent, and popularity. And he himself likes to read articles about fathers' kindness, sons' filial piety, and brothers' respect, since he was a child. I consciously position myself in the position of 'Chen' and 'Di'.

But he never thought that one day the outstanding eldest brother would lose his reserve position, and he never thought that the ambitious fourth brother would regard him as an obstacle to winning the heir...

On this day, Li Zhi had just returned from Wanchun Palace, with a hint of depression and anger on his face.

Because, he just heard a very interesting 'good news' from Zhou Shangyi...

A martial artist who has been "exiled" for many years is favored by a saint again, and will be promoted soon...

What a 'surprise' news for him!

"Is Your Majesty coming back from Wanchun Hall?"

Wei Shangyi and the others couldn't help but be secretly surprised when they saw Li Zhi's complexion.

Every time His Royal Highness King Jin came back from Wanchun Palace, his face was full of happiness. What happened today?Have you quarreled with Nineteen Niang?

Wei Shangyi is an old man next to Li Zhi, and since she thought so, she asked.

"Why would Gu quarrel with Sizi?" Li Zhi laughed, "Gu is just worried when he sees Sizi's gloomy complexion and lack of energy..."

At this time, the palace servants came to report: Wei Wang is here...

Li Tai's visit made Li Zhi's already unhappy mood even more gloomy.

Some time ago, when the two were co-administering the government for their father, Li Tai revealed that Li Shimin had privately agreed to make him the prince, and asked Li Zhishi not to argue with him about current affairs.Li Zhi said at the time that he had no unreasonable thoughts about the position of the crown prince...

Unexpectedly, after the father recovered from his illness, he did not directly propose to make Wei Wang the prince, but chose the public recommendation method.

Li Zhi knew that Li Tai and him were the only ones who were qualified to be the masters of the Eastern Palace.

Li Zhi knew more or less about the court affairs. He didn't think that his father would choose him as the crown prince, but some senior ministers seemed to have a grudge against his fourth brother, so his father took such a roundabout way to decide the crown prince...

Obviously, his fourth brother didn't understand what his father did...

Therefore, when the fourth brother came to Qianqiu Hall, he could already guess it to a certain extent...

It was only when he guessed what was going on that Li Zhi felt depressed.

Let me ask a person who had no intention of seizing the heir, how could he not be angry if he was always being tempted and threatened to not allow Ranming to compete for the reserve position? !

Since the other party came with bad intentions, Li Zhi would not have a good face.

When Li Tai entered Qianqiu Palace, Li Zhi dismissed all the palace attendants.

"Fourth brother is really a rare guest, why did you come to my brother's place?" Li Xiaojiu, a gentle and gentle boy who had always been known for his gentleness and politeness, had a very bad tone at the moment, clearly carrying a strong smell of gunpowder.

"What? Brother Ninth doesn't welcome Fourth Brother?" Li Tai couldn't help but falter with a smile on his face.

Li Zhi gritted his white teeth, and grinned at his fourth brother: "How could it be? It's just that the fourth brother is always busy with noble affairs, and he still has time to visit my younger brother. I feel a little surprised ╮╭"

Li Tai was choked again.

It was rare to see a little boy like a white rabbit surrounded by black air, and Li Tai couldn't help but wonder secretly.

Who provoked Kuro here?

After all, Li Tai has a thick skin and a lot of flesh, so he doesn't care about Li Xiaojiu's verbal attacks. He has an important goal in entering the palace today.

"There are a lot of things in the literature hall in the palace, and I just follow my father's order to recruit a group of talented scholars to write books... If you say that I am talented, how can I compare with my father's eighteen scholars in the Qin family? …Brother, I’m just messing around! If you’re talking about being free and unrestrained, brother can’t compare to you!” Li Tai laughed, and then changed the subject, “I heard that Ninth Brother, your Baoningfang palace has been completed. I think I'm going to move out of the palace in the near future, this Qianqiu Palace...I don't think you can stay here for a few days, so brother, I want to come and see you before you move out, hehe..."

"Speaking of which, Brother Qianqiu Palace, I have lived here for quite a few days, and I am revisiting my old place when I come back today~~~~~"

Although Li Tai's words were not pleasant, they were not unreasonable.

At the beginning, because His Majesty Li Er loved Si Pang, he kept him in the Qianqiu Palace and refused to let him go to the vassal. As a result, he summoned a bunch of bricks and mortars from the civil and military ministers.His Majesty Li Er had no choice but to build Wei Wang's Mansion for Si Fatty in Yankang Fang, which was closer to the imperial palace, so that he could come in and out easily.Later, Li Shimin still couldn't help thinking about his son, and wanted to get Sipang to live in Wude Hall, but he was slammed by the admonishers again.

And Li Tai happened to be 16 years old when he was forced to move out of Qianqiu Palace.

After this year, Li Zhi is also 16 years old.

With Li Tai's lessons learned, Li Shimin started looking for a site for his youngest son's palace several years in advance, and finally Li Zhicheng chose Baoningfang, a treasured place of geomantic omen, before his marriage.

Now, His Majesty Li Er is waiting for the daughter-in-law of his aristocratic family to give birth to his youngest son, and then let their family move to live in the palace...

Li Zhi probably also figured out what his father was thinking, but for various reasons, he deliberately didn't get close to Wang's so as to delay leaving the palace.

However, at this critical moment, Li Tai suddenly brought up the matter of housewarming, which inevitably made him suspicious...

"Although the Qianqiu Palace is good, it is not a place where the vassal princes live for a long time." Li Zhi said indifferently: "Father has long said that when the palace is completed, I will choose an auspicious day for my younger brother Qiao to move in..."

"Little brother just listen to the adults' arrangements..."

Li Tai laughed when he heard the words, probably very satisfied with Li Zhi's humble attitude.

"I'm not in a hurry to relocate. When I...cough...when the crown prince is selected, father will make arrangements. When the time comes, brother, I will definitely give you a generous gift..."

"It's just... there is something, brother, I'm really worried about you, Jiulang..." Li Tai sighed quietly, and suddenly showed a look of hesitation.

"Brother, what do you mean by that?" Li Zhi was startled, thinking that he should have no reason to fall into the other party's hands.

However, Li Zhi's face showed panic, like a frightened little white rabbit.

Li Tai squinted his eyes triumphantly, lowered his voice, and said in an old way: "Jiulang, your disaster is right in front of you, don't you know?"

This pretentious tone is really painful!

Li Zhi frowned secretly, pretending to be puzzled: "Brother, what you said is really strange, I study in the palace every day, what's the trouble?"

Li Tai still wanted to show off, so he patted Li Zhi on the shoulder and said softly, "Have you forgotten why your eldest brother was dismissed?"

I'm not forced by you==

Li Zhi secretly vomited, but said in his mouth: "What does this have to do with my little brother?"

Li Tai laughed a few times when he heard the words, if Wu Xu said that, he would definitely say that this guy laughs so obscenely!People can't help but want to punch him in the face with that steamed bun, and beat him into a bun!

"Jiulang, have you forgotten that the reason why the eldest brother was deposed was not only because of the army to force the palace..." Li Tai's smile was gone, and there was only a gloomy look on his face, and his fangs were exposed.

"The main crime is actually colluding with the vassal and making personal friends with generals..."

"You have a close relationship with Yuanchang, if your lord knows about this, what will you think?"

When Li Zhi heard this, his pupils shrank sharply.

OK!

It turns out that the fourth brother wanted to frame him as a vassal king? !

Li Zhi lowered his head, quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind, and when he looked up again, his face was already full of panic.

"Brother, brother... the younger brother and Uncle Yuanchang are just casual acquaintances, sir, he shouldn't misunderstand, right?"

"Your heart is unpredictable, how can I say this kind of thing well? Sigh..." Li Tai had a look of 'you're dead'.

Li Zhi became more and more uneasy, as if he was about to cry, he grabbed Li Tai's sleeve and did not let go.

"Brother, my lord loves you, I beg you to help me, my lord, tell the difference between one and two..."

"You and my brother, what are you asking for...it's just..." Li Tai pretended to be difficult, and said: "Brother, I am just a vassal king, and people speak lightly..."

Who is soft-spoken? !

I'm afraid it's because people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants!

Li Zhi sneered in his heart, with a weak expression on his face, and said: "Brother, what you said is wrong! My lord's heart for you is clear, and everyone in the court and the public know it! I don't want anything else, just be a rich and idle person..."

Li Tai felt extremely relieved when he heard these weak words, and immediately patted his chest to assure him: "Don't worry, as long as I get what I want, I will take good care of you, hahaha..."

When you get what you want, you will die without a place to bury yourself!

As soon as Li Tai left, Li Zhi lowered his face and sat in the main hall silently, not to be disturbed.

The young man just sat in silence all afternoon, and there was still no movement when it was time to feed.

Wei Shangyi and the others didn't know what to do, hesitated for a while, and sent someone to report to the princess.

In Qianqiu Hall, His Royal Highness King Jin and Princess Jin live in separate halls. Except for the first and fifteenth day of each month, Li Zhi basically does not eat with Wang.

So, suddenly seeing someone coming from the main hall this day, Mrs. Wang who was about to feed her was pleasantly surprised.

After listening to the ambiguous narration by the palace servants, Wang Shi also hesitated.

There was a lot of uproar in the government and the public about the establishment of the crown prince, how could the Wang family not know about it.Her uncle Liu Shi's official position in the court is not low, and he also has the right to vote. As a natural Jin Wang party, Uncle Liu naturally wants to elect Jin Wang.

However, the attitude of the Wang family is very ambiguous, and has been unwilling to clearly express support for King Jin...

Wang originally wanted Li Zhi to visit the family in person, but Li Zhi refused before he could speak.

Wang consciously lost face, and secretly blamed his own family, but at the same time deeply felt that Li Zhi didn't know good from bad...

Now that the king of Wei is so arrogant, he actually came to the Qianqiu Palace to demonstrate, which is tolerable or unbearable!

How could the arrogant Wang family bear this tone, and decided to persuade Li Zhi to put down his body and seek the support of Wang's family, and never let Wei Wang become the prince...

Just as Mrs. Wang was about to go to the front hall to meet Li Zhi with refreshments, she heard a report from the palace servants that the sage had passed that King Jin had gone to the Ganlu Hall...

At the same time, the Palace of Wanchun also sent palace servants to come to see the King of Jin.
