Chapter 462 How is the world?
Leaving the jade talisman behind, Li Yunqing showed an enigmatic smile to Xu Yuan, then turned around and left the high-altitude pavilion of Xuanyue Tower.
In the silence caressed by the night breeze, Xu Yuan stared at the jade talisman on the table for a long time before slowly reaching out and picking it up.
The jade is gentle and of high quality. To the outside world, the jade material alone is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, not to mention the meaning of the word "Yucheng" engraved on it.
Prince's Mansion Ya Ke Qing.
When the prince ascends the throne in the future, this jade talisman will be the proof of your merits as a dragon.
certainly,
If another prince ascends the throne in the end, then this jade talisman will also be the best proof that you have committed suicide.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan's fingers caressing the surface of the jade talisman paused slightly, the corners of his lips raised an unknown smile, and then he slowly stood up.
From a rational point of view, he should not go to see the prince.
After all, Li Yunqing was right next to the other party, so there was no chance that this guy would spot anything he said wrong.
But the problem is that the identity his father prepared for him has a character.
In other words,
The prince in the family of the Minister of War was a real person, at least he existed before Xu Yuan started to play this role.
He has both talent and spiritual talent, but he is depressed because of his status as an illegitimate child.
When such a person encounters such an opportunity, even if the road ahead is unclear, he will most likely move forward.
If he doesn't go, it will look a little abnormal.
Of course, in addition to this, Xu Yuan also wanted to see the prince and see what the difference was between him and Li Zhaoyuan.
“Brother, I have handed over the jade talisman to the prince for you.”
Li Yunqing pushed open the wooden door of Tianxun's wing and immediately smiled into the room and said, "But let me tell you, why do you need to come to recruit the illegitimate son of a minister in person? I should just leave this matter to my brother."
In the wing room, incense curled up and the curtains swayed. Behind the ink screen embroidered with green mountains and green waters, a middle-aged man with a gentle temperament was kneeling on a futon and gently playing with the tea set in front of him.
Hearing Li Yunqing's voice, the man's voice was very gentle, making people feel as if he was a young gentleman from the countryside:
“Only when you come in person can you show more attention.”
Li Yunqing walked slowly to the tea table and sat down. He picked up a cup of fragrant tea prepared by the other party and drank it. He looked at his eldest brother opposite, lowered his voice slightly and asked:
“But, my dear brother, if you leave the palace at this time, your father will be displeased, right?”
The man slowly raised his eyes, his pupils dark and shining, with a soft smile:
"It might have happened before, but now my father won't. My father has always treated us, his heirs, equally. When Zhaoyuan leads his troops, his control over the orphans will naturally be relaxed a lot."
Li Yunqing frowned slightly and gently put down the porcelain cup. Seeing this, the gentle man picked up the teapot and filled it up. He continued in a soft voice:
"If my father had done this earlier, things like this wouldn't have happened."
Li Yunqing sighed softly when he heard this, tapped the porcelain cup with his fingertips, looked at the ripples of the fragrant tea in the cup, and said softly:
“If this is the case,
“Brother, you won’t do it either.”
ˆ “.”
After finishing his words, the middle-aged man with a gentle temperament paused slightly while pouring tea.
The room was silent for a moment,
The middle-aged man continued his movements, chuckled and shook his head:
"Yunqing, your reaction is indeed much faster than that of my brother. Even if my father acquiesces, if you dare to do it alone, you may not be alive now."
Having said that,
The middle-aged man put down the teapot, picked up a porcelain cup filled with fragrant tea, took a sip, and said with a faint look:
“Sometimes, I really envy you Junqing.”
Li Yunqing’s eyes twitched, and he immediately waved his hands and said:
“Brother, I don’t have any”
“You are so wary of my brother, too”
The middle-aged man chuckled and glared at his brother: "I'm serious, you and Zhao Yuan can have many different choices, but Gu Sheng only has one."
Li Yunqing’s eyes changed, and he said in a slightly complicated voice:
"The emperor's brother is the heir to the great unification. How can he say this with his status?"
"how you said that?"
A hint of decadence flashed through the middle-aged man’s soft eyes, and he sighed on his handsome face:
“Although I have been the crown prince in recent years and have even been in charge of the country for nearly ten years, I am actually just a shadow of my father. I have to do whatever my father asks me to do.
“I have been the shadow of my father all my life, but in the end, everything I have is still in my father’s mind.
“Yunqing, do you still think why Gu said this?”
ˆ “.”
Li Yunqing was silent after hearing this.
If the original plan of the father and Xu Xiangguo went well, his brother's life would be extremely smooth.
But the problem is that the plan of the two old men has gone awry.
The extremely noble status of the eldest brother and the prince has directly turned into a restriction.
He cannot get in touch with people and things that his father does not want to see him deal with. He can only passively accept everything his father has prepared for him, which is the powerful princelings in the court now.
But everything in the princeling party was only temporarily lent to this eldest brother by his father.
Whenever the father wants to take it back, it is just a matter of his thoughts.
Now that his father allowed Li Zhaoyuan to lead troops outside, the heir to the throne had obviously begun to change in his heart.
Thinking of this, Li Yunqing looked at the eldest brother opposite with a hint of complexity.
What the world needs today is not a king who governs the country, but a hero who can quell chaos.
“Yunqing,
“I heard that you are going to Japan?”
The soft voice interrupted Li Yunqing's thoughts. When he came back to his senses, he saw his eldest brother looking at him with an extremely gentle look.
After a slight hesitation, Li Yunqing smiled softly and said half-jokingly:
"I have this idea, but given the current situation in Di'an City, it seems that you can't do without me, brother."
“Go if you want to.”
."Li Yunqing.
Li Yucheng smiled and looked at the other party with surprise: "This trip to Japan is indeed safer for you, Yunqing, than staying in Di'an City."
ˆ “.”
At this moment, Li Yunqing suddenly hesitated.
When he was a child, he was indeed a very gentle brother.
Accompany him around the palace and secretly take him out of the palace to see the prosperity of Di'an City.
But as he grew up, and after the other party took over what his father had prepared for him, he also saw the cold-blooded ruthlessness beneath the tenderness of the other party.
He is so honest now because he was beaten hard by the other party before.
“Why do you look at your brother like this?”
Li Yucheng ignored Li Yunqing’s expression, glanced in the direction of Miyagi City, and said softly:
“My father’s heart is unpredictable. If something unexpected happens, Brother Wei will most likely not survive, and if Brother Wei is deposed, Yunqing, you will most likely not survive either.
“So, it’s safer for you to leave Di’an City.
"When everything ends, if my brother can ascend the throne, it won't be too late for you to come back."
Hearing these words, Li Yunqing raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brow vigorously.
He couldn't tell whether this brother was speaking sarcastically. And when the other party said this, he felt a little embarrassed and just left the other party and ran away.
Li Yucheng sighed quietly:
“You kid, you’re still so suspicious.”
After the words fell, the wing fell into silence for a moment.
Li Yunqing was thinking about how to answer the call.
In life, there are things to do and things not to do.
If this eldest brother really cares about his heart, he really can't just run away.
But the problem is,
Because Qianxi died in the assassination of Xu Changtian, there is now a gap between the two brothers.
At least this is the case for Li Yunqing.
He had to be suspicious of his eldest brother.
Suspicion that the other party already knew that he deliberately killed Qian Xi, a strong man, to exclude the other party's spy from his side.
In the silence of the two brothers, a gentle knock on the door suddenly sounded.
After a brief silence,
Li Yucheng chuckled and shook his head:
"You don't have to think too much. I will go to my father's house for you tomorrow. Japan is being invaded by those blond foreigners from the sea. I, Dayan, really need a prince to go there and find out the specific situation.
"As for now, you should go back to the palace in the palace first, and my brother will personally come to receive the king."
There was a knock on the door, and the room was quiet for a moment. Li Yunqing stood up slowly, straightened his robes slightly, and bowed:
“Yes, Junqing left first.”
The words fell,
Li Yunqing walked slowly towards the door.
"correct."
Having just taken two steps, the gentle voice behind him made Li Yunqing pause:
“Is the third son of the Prime Minister who went south with you really dead?”
Li Yunqing was slightly shocked when he heard this, turned half sideways, and said softly:
"Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, the probability is that he is dead. Lou Ji should not be able to protect him from the assassination of a semi-saint and four mortals."
Li Yucheng slowly lowered his eyes and sighed softly:
"That's right. Brother, I have arranged for the Royal Shadow Guards to go and investigate Huizhou County. It turns out that the ruins there are exactly the same as what you said. It's just a pity for that girl."
Hearing this, Li Yunqing's heart suddenly sank, but the next moment Li Yucheng continued:
“She actually said that she would remain a widow for the rest of her life for that third young master.”
“Sister Huang, he probably doesn’t want to get married again.” Li Yunqing replied with a smile.
Li Yucheng thought for a moment, and a smile appeared on his lips: "With that girl's character, it is indeed possible."
ˆ “.”
Without any more words, Li Yunqing nodded and saluted, then walked slowly to the entrance of the concierge and stretched out his hand to open the door.
The door opened and he looked at the young man outside for a moment. Li Yunqing raised his hand and patted the other man's shoulder. He walked sideways and laughed softly:
“Young Master, my royal brother is waiting for you in the room, and I will not disturb you two.”
"Yes."
Xu Yuan responded, but glanced at the other person's leaving back with a slightly strange look.
The moment he opened the door, his spiritual vision revealed that the look in Li Yunqing's lowered eyes was gloomy and scary.
But that gloominess seemed to be an illusion. When he raised his eyes, what he saw was that he had returned to his usual smiling appearance.
However, Xu Yuan certainly did not feel that he had made a mistake. He saluted in the direction Li Yunqing left, and then looked into the side room.
Just now, the two brothers from the royal family must have discussed something.
But he doesn't care much about these things. Now that the hanged man is gone, he doesn't have to worry about getting involved.
After closing the door, entering the room, and saluting, Xu Yuan met the current prince Li Yucheng.
After some greetings, Xu Yuan knelt down and sat across from the tea tray, and began a tentative chat.
Li Yucheng didn't get straight to the point, and the topics were all trivial and trivial. However, what Xu Yuan expected a little was that the Prince of Dayan was too gentle.
Yes.
gentle.
If the eldest brother in his family is a cold-faced boss, the brother Li Qingyan and Li Yunqing share feels like a central air conditioner.
Every topic he raised and every word he said could not only reflect his identity, but also make Xu Yuan feel that the other party valued him.
Like a spring breeze.
But compared to Li Yunqing and Li Qingyan, Li Yucheng is indeed a bit older.
Even with advanced cultivation, he still looks like a middle-aged man due to the passage of time.
It turns out that there is really someone in this world who can be a prince for sixty years.
However, if the other party can really take the ninth-five position in the end, with his temperament, he should become a benevolent king.
Of course, this is just Xu Yuan's speculation based on his first impression, and looking at the current situation in the Dayan Court, it is probably to repeat the classic - the original prince was never the one who ascended the throne.
After drinking tea and talking and laughing, Xu Yuan finished the cup of fragrant tea poured by the other party and suddenly brought the topic to the topic of tonight:
“Your Highness, you didn’t specifically call me here tonight to talk about these things, right?”
Li Yucheng’s eyes were soft and he was not surprised at all, and he laughed softly:
“I hit it off with the prince, and almost forgot about business during the conversation.
“Gu, I came here specifically because I wanted to ask the prince a question.”
Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this and nodded gently:
“Excuse me, Your Highness.”
“This is a question that my father asked Duke Xu back then.”
“.” Xu Yuan was slightly confused.
The other party actually secretly compared him to Mr. Xu in these words.
Hmm, if it weren't Mr. Xu who was his father, I'm afraid he would really be a little touched.
With this thought in his mind, Xu Yuan looked slightly solemn and nodded lightly.
“Prince, what do you think of our hot world now?”
ˆ “.”
Hearing this, Xu Yuan showed a hint of embarrassment. If he was asked about his true identity, he could answer the question casually, but now he needed to think carefully. After a while, he said softly:
“It can barely be considered a peaceful and prosperous age.”
Li Yucheng smiled softly and nodded slightly:
"It seems that Mr. Wang also has some opinions on this, but he doesn't want to say it directly. But do you want to know how Mr. Xu responded back then?"
Xu Yuan's eyes flashed with curiosity. He really wanted to hear the father's answer:
“Your Highness, please speak?”
Li Yucheng lightly knocked on the table and said in a leisurely tone:
“Xu Gong said back then, although my country is prosperous, it is not peaceful.”
