Li Xiao just arrived in Yangcheng today, and he was in the palace listening to the civil and military ministers arguing for a whole day. After the court meeting was over, he just wanted to go back to his mansion to rest, when Luo Mingxuan stopped him.

"His Royal Highness King Cheng."

Hearing the sound, Li Xiao hesitated before turning back to look at Luo Mingxuan: "Is there anything wrong with Prime Minister Luo calling me?"

This was the first time he looked at Luo Mingxuan since he came back.

The alienated eyes and tone that the two had never met since the two met made Luo Mingxuan's heart suffocate, with a feeling that he couldn't explain clearly. After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and said: "I still have some things I want to discuss with His Highness Cheng Wang, I don't know. May I ask His Royal Highness Cheng Wang to move to the prime minister's residence?"

Li Xiao withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes and hummed lightly, turned around and took the lead to walk out.

Luo Mingxuan followed with strides, the prime minister's mansion was not far from the palace, the two of them got into the carriage after leaving the palace, and it was only a stick of incense.

It's just that the road was surprisingly quiet between the two of them. Li Xiao closed his eyes to rest his mind after getting into the car, looking very tired. Naturally, Luo Mingxuan couldn't say anything, but just looked up at him carefully.

Li Xiao's appearance is more like that of the concubine De, with fair skin, one-line eyebrows, phoenix eyes, red but not thin lips, elegant and clean, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.It was not the first time Luo Mingxuan had seen this face, and it was not difficult to find that it was different from the past.Although Li Xiao's appearance was not very sharp three years ago, his tall physique and status in high positions all the year round gave him a sharp and deep temperament. When he came back this time, he really lost a lot of weight. His temperament also changed a lot, he didn't look like a prince, but like a weak scholar.

Arriving at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Xiao bent down and got up immediately, opened the door curtain and got out of the car.

Luo Mingxuan looked at his back in a hurry to get out of the car and paused thoughtfully before getting out of the car.

The two entered the prime minister's mansion one after the other.

Luo Mingxuan led Li Xiao to sit down.

Li Xiao pursed his lips and waved his hands and said: "No need, Prime Minister Luo just speak up if you have anything to say, I'm a little tired, so I went back to rest after I finished speaking."

Luo Mingxuan was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked up at him.

Li Xiao didn't look at him, but stared down at the tables and chairs in the room.

Luo Mingxuan thought for a while and waved his hands: "You all go out and close the door."

Hearing this, Li Xiao choked for breath, clenched his hands, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything in the end.

All the servants obeyed and left.

Luo Mingxuan turned to look at Li Xiao: "Are you blaming me?"

Li Xiao pursed his lips and said hoarsely: "What's your fault? Prime Minister Luo didn't say it, you've tried your best."

Luo Mingxuan frowned: "Then what do you mean now? It's fine if you haven't exchanged a letter for three years. You said you were afraid that the emperor would doubt you, but now? You're back, but you don't even want to look at me gone?"

Li Xiao coughed lightly, raised his eyes to look at him with a pale face, and sneered: "Luo Mingxuan, what are you worried about? Are you afraid that I will backfire on you after I ascend the throne, and refuse to be your puppet? Don't worry, I don't have the energy to torment now. I will give me a relief after you use it up. If you still have a little conscience, let my wife and children go after my death and don’t implicate them. This is the only extravagant request I have for you. If you have nothing else to do , I’ll go back first.”

After Li Xiao finished speaking, he turned around and was about to go out.

The reason why Luo Mingxuan brought Li Xiao to the Prime Minister's Mansion was indeed that he had concerns about this after seeing Li Xiao's attitude towards him now, but he was not afraid, just wanted to make sure, after all, after these three years of imprisonment, It can be said that Li Xiao's power has all belonged to him, even if Li Xiao really wanted to turn against him, he would not be able to cause any big disturbances, but hearing what Li Xiao said, Luo Mingxuan, who logically should be at ease, was not in his heart. I don't feel at ease, seeing Li Xiao like this, but I don't know where and where it comes from.

Seeing that Li Xiao was about to leave before he could say a word, Luo Mingxuan almost subconsciously reached out and grabbed his arm, knocked him against the door, and said sharply with a cold face: " How many times have I said that I will not kill you, let alone your wife and children, so please stop mocking me so eccentrically. Who else said that I am fine? I want to discuss with you the decision to deal with the Western Zhou Dynasty. "

This is not the first time Luo Yan has come to the Prime Minister's Mansion these days. The servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion have seen how Luo Mingxuan dotes on this youngest brother, and they will never stop him. This time Luo Yan came here as usual, and resigned Guided by someone, he asked where Luo Mingxuan was, so he found it by himself with a food box. When he reached the door, he happened to hear Luo Mingxuan's last sentence, and was about to open the door and make a loud noise to make people subconsciously pause.

Li Xiao had heard the officials quarreling all day, and subconsciously frowned and pursed his lips when he heard the words: "Is there anything else to discuss, don't you already have an idea in your mind? You are just waiting for a piece of news."

The reason why the two became confidantes in the first place was not without reason. Even though Li Xiao had just returned to Yangcheng and Luo Mingxuan hadn't said anything, Li Xiao had already guessed what Luo Mingxuan was planning.

Not only Wei Yuan and the others, but even Luo Mingxuan didn't believe that Li Jingyao died so easily, so he was waiting, waiting for news of whether Li Jingyao was really dead. If Li Jingyao didn't die, he would definitely go to the military camp on the border .

Luo Mingxuan will not surrender, but just in case he will send troops now, he does not want to give Li Jingyao a chance to come back, he wants Li Jingyao to die outside, and the price of this decision will be the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers at the border .

Luo Mingxuan's expression softened slightly when he heard the words, and he hummed softly, "Then what do you think?"

Li Xiao glanced at him with a sneer and said, "You let me tell? Then I think it's great. Li Jingyao killed my mother and concubine, how can I feel at ease if he doesn't die? But what about Wei Yuan and the others? Do you think they will just watch?" So you don't care about Li Jingyao and the tens of thousands of soldiers on the border? I'm afraid he will fight you desperately."

Luo Mingxuan snorted coldly when he heard the words: "That also depends on his fate."

Luo Yan stood outside the door and heard this, and suddenly pushed open the door in front of him.

Luo Mingxuan and the others were already by the door, when they heard the sound they subconsciously turned their heads to look over, just about to reprimand who they saw.

Luo Mingxuan was taken aback for a moment, and quickly let go of Li Xiao, turned to face Luo Yan, frowned and asked, "Ah Yan, why are you here?"

Li Xiao clutched his chest and coughed lightly, stood up straight and looked at them, with a white face and lowered eyes, he said: "You guys talk, I'll go back first."

After speaking, he turned and walked out the door.

Luo Mingxuan glanced at Luo Yan who was furious, and knew that today was not a good time to talk to Li Xiao again, so he frowned and watched him leave without stopping him.

Luo Yan waited until Li Xiao had left before he glared at Luo Mingxuan and said, "Big brother, are you still my big brother?"

Luo Mingxuan frowned: "Ah Yan, what are you talking about? Didn't I say that? No matter who I am, I am your eldest brother."

Luo Yan looked at him and gritted his teeth and shook his head: "No, you're not. I know the big brother I admire. Although he seems cold-hearted, he is actually a great hero who cares about the world and the country and the people. He will teach me to be a good man by precept and example. A good man who benefits the people, he will help the disaster victims through the difficulties regardless of his own safety. He will always think about improving the people's livelihood and benefiting the people. But what about you? Tell me what you are doing now? You are just for the throne You want to murder Zhongliang, and you want to ruin the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers on the frontier!"

Luo Mingxuan pursed his lips and frowned, and raised his hand to touch his head: "Ayan, you don't understand, some sacrifices are inevitable!"

Luo Yan slapped his hand away with red eyes, and shouted excitedly: "I'm not a child anymore, how could I not understand? I understand everything, yes, some sacrifices are inevitable, such as war is bound to Dead people, but they should not die because of your own selfishness. I know that you have been blaming me, brother, for always helping Li Jingyao and persuading you to give up fighting for the throne. But brother, have you ever thought about why? You Do you think it's because Li Jingyao is more important than you in my heart?"

Luo Mingxuan pursed his lips and remained silent.

Luo Yan snorted coldly: "No, maybe the feelings are different, but in my heart, you two are dear and beloved people. In the end, whichever of you will live and whoever will die, I will not live alone. As far as I am concerned, whoever wins and whoever loses it's the same."

Luo Mingxuan suddenly stared at Luo Yan with wide eyes in disbelief.

Luo Yan ignored Luo Mingxuan's astonishment, and continued to say in a cold voice: "It's different from the common people in the world. After killing the fourth brother and killing Wei Yuan, come and tell me, big brother, who do you plan to send to fight in the Western Zhou Dynasty? My second brother Brother? He is indeed very powerful. He can defeat ten enemies with one enemy, but can he defeat thousands of enemies? He has the courage of the vanguard, but he has no master plan. I believe you know this better than anyone else. Or brother Are you planning to lead the battle yourself?"

Luo Mingxuan had this idea.

Luo Yan looked at Luo Mingxuan and snorted, "Yes, maybe big brother has learned a lot of intrigue and ingenuity and is as smart as fourth brother, but you have never been on the battlefield, and you don't have a trace of force in your body. I am more aware that if one is not careful, the Yu Kingdom may be destroyed forever. Even the fourth brother has been fighting on the battlefield for many years with extraordinary force. He did not dare to be careless in the slightest. Brother, do you think that you are better than him in terms of marching and fighting, and the Western Zhou Dynasty is like an ant in your eyes? Tell me, brother? If this is the case, then I will definitely support you in fighting for the throne. Who It is not important to be an emperor, what matters is who is the emperor so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment without being trampled by iron hooves!"

"Brother once told me that the fourth brother is not worthy of being an emperor in front of you, but what I want to tell you is that whether you are worthy of being an emperor is never a blood inheritance, otherwise there will be no dynasty that will be overthrown. What is an emperor? Mandate of Heaven What is the destiny? What is the will of the people! What the elder brother and the fourth brother did before can be called the emperor, all of which are what the people want, but in this era, the fourth brother is more suitable to be the emperor than the eldest brother! Because he can not only You can calm the minds of the people and the minds of the army, but you can't, big brother!"

After Luo Yan finished speaking, he took one last look at Luo Mingxuan: "Brother, you stand too high now, so high that you only see power and can't see the people of Liming! Do you still remember your life wish? You don't remember, I do! It’s okay if you can’t see me! You don’t love them anymore, I love them! This is my home, no one else can trample on it!”

Then turned away.
