Chapter 725 Decision
The Tianchi on the top of Jiulong Mountain is quiet, and a pavilion stands in the middle of the lake.
The moonlight enters the room, and the light and shadow are dim.
Eunuch Nie, who had already put on the royal python robe, knelt down before the imperial case:
"Your Majesty, this servant is incompetent and failed to fulfill your instructions."
After the imperial examination, the candlelight flickered.
Li Yaoxuan was dressed in a single suit and an imperial dragon robe. His face was old and wrinkled. His cloudy eyes calmly browsed the imperial memorial with an expressionless expression:
"I saw it."
Eunuch Nie's pupils shrank slightly and he quickly tried to explain the reason for his retreat:
"Your Majesty, this servant is not timid, if only then."
"I said."
Li Yaoxuan glanced at the other party slightly tiredly and repeated softly: "I saw it."
Bang.
Eunuch Nie pressed his forehead against the cold ground:
"This slave is guilty."
"Xu Yinhe is very lucky. The growth rate of his three sons is indeed faster than expected."
Li Yao
Long before the war to exterminate the barbarians began, Li Yaoxuan had seen his prime minister's intention to train Xu Changtian, but at that time he didn't care.
Because it's already late.
Even if he cultivates under the full training of the Prime Minister's Mansion, when his time comes, Xu Changtian can only have the cultivation level of being able to integrate into the body realm at best.
In this extraordinary world, low cultivation is easy to target.
Conflict breaks out, and in the center of the whirlpool, as long as the other party is willing to pay the price, there is no chance of survival.
Thoughts come to this,
Li Yaoxuan closed his eyes and chuckled, a little self-deprecating:
"Now that I think about it, I really regret it."
"."
Eunuch Nie cautiously raised his eyes and glanced at the slender old man behind the desk.
As Li Yaoxuan's lifelong companion, he may not know His Majesty the best, but he is definitely the person His Majesty trusts the most and understands His Majesty's plans best.
Without Xu Changtian, the imperial power might return to what it was before the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, but it would be able to preserve the Li family, while the Prime Minister's Office would surely perish.
Xu Changtian's sudden rise was indeed too sudden, and the huge variables disrupted most of the Holy Spirit's plans for the deadline.
Thinking of this, Eunuch Nie slightly propped himself up from his low position on the ground and suggested softly:
"Your Majesty, why don't you let me go?"
"Go kill him?"
Li Yaoxuan opened his eyes with a faint smile: "Did you know? If you had left later, the third son of the Xu family might have killed you directly."
Eunuch Nie was startled and said:
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
"Xu Changtian is not joking with you. That spell actually only used about 30% of its power. Your technique Dao Yun cannot kill him instantly, but he can use it to kill you instantly."
Li Yao "
Having served as the Chief Supervisor of Ceremonies for decades, Eunuch Nie naturally knew the secrets of life and death, and said in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, what are your plans for the future?"
Li Yaoxuan did not show any anger or anger, and just said:
"Xu Changtian indeed exceeded everyone's expectations, but how could Zhao Yuan be the same?"
Eunuch Nie's breathing was slightly stagnant, and his voice was slightly trembling:
"Your Majesty, don't you?"
Halfway through his words, he swallowed the second half of the sentence under Li Yaoxuan's turbid gaze and prostrated on the ground again:
"This slave is trespassing."
"Come on."
Standing up from the dragon chair, Li Yaoxuan looked at the only person he could trust in the world before him, and smiled softly:
"The Holy Master treats his slaves with great kindness, as it should be."
Li Yaoxuan shook his head when he heard this, walked around the imperial desk, walked to the window lattice, and stood with his hands behind his back.
Eunuch Nie slowly got up from the ground, stepped forward in small steps, and stood beside and behind Li Yaoxuan.
Looking out the window at the clear lake under the moonlight, Li Yaoxuan's old eyes gradually became trance-like, and he suddenly called out:
"Big companion."
"My slave is here."
"Do you think I'm ridiculous?"
Li Yaoxuan lowered his eyes slightly, staring at his withered palms that were shaking uncontrollably:
"Even now, when I can no longer hesitate, I am still hesitating."
"Your Majesty, no matter what choice you make, it is right for you."
Eunuch Nie lowered his eyes and said softly: "Based on the time, the third prince has not gone far yet. If Xu Changtian is willing to chase him, it should not be difficult to chase him back."
"Cough cough cough"
As if caught by the wind and cold, Li Yaoxuan covered his mouth and coughed twice, his voice calm and quiet:
"That boy Junqing is smarter than you think. He understands my thoughts and his eldest brother."
The prince's desire to give way to the wise could not be hidden from Li Yaoxuan, his father who had watched him all his life. He chuckled and said:
"The fact that he didn't come back tonight in Yunqing shows that he has made a decision in his heart. Even if he is captured, it won't change his temper."
Eunuch Nie thought about it for a moment and said:
"The third prince must have struggled for a long time before he was willing to leave."
Li Yaoxuan looked back, with a hint of amusement in his lifeless eyes:
"Your taste in looking at people is as bad as ever."
".The slave is terrified."
After looking at each other for a moment, Eunuch Nie lowered his head and said, "I hope your Majesty will make it clear."
Speaking of this matter, Li Yaoxuan's voice had a faint smile:
"In life, there will always be things that we care about, such as power, ideals, or love. With these, people will hesitate and get entangled, but Yun Qing has been restraining himself since he was a child, so that there is no one or thing in the world that can make him get entangled. ”
Eunuch Nie was startled and said softly:
"The third prince only lives for himself?"
Li Yaoxuan slowly leaned on the back of the dragon chair, glanced sideways at the night sky outside the window, and said with a smile:
"Yes, this is the reason why I admire him most."
"In that case, Your Majesty, why didn't you do it when you were young?"
"But it's also what I hate most about him."
"."
Eunuch Nie fell silent.
He understood what the Lord meant.
Even if the third prince is brought back, the Holy Emperor will not pass on his position to him.
Because he was forcibly conveyed to him and helped to that position, it is estimated that he will only see the farewell letter he left in the palace before leaving one morning in the future.
This prince will not care about the continuation of the Tian family surnamed Li.
Facing the Xu family of the prime minister who is pressing harder and harder, even if there is a chance of winning, Li Yunqing will most likely not make any resistance and will directly make money, only caring about his own well-being, regardless of the turbulent outside world.
Thinking of this, Eunuch Nie already understood in his heart.
The prince no longer has any intention of taking over the throne, and the third prince has decided to leave, so it is already clear to the remaining people.
The thought just flashed through,
Li Yaoxuan's old and tired voice came over:
“Daban, go down.
"It's time for me to make a decision, and I am indeed a little tired."
Two days later, night.
Emperor Jiajing invited Dayan Prime Minister Xu Yinhe and Dayan Imperial Master Ran Jianli to go north together to hunt immortal deer in Longhuang Forest, and sent the second prince Li Zhaoyuan to lead an army to **** the emperor.
The next morning,
The third son of the Prime Minister, Xu Changtian, was granted the title of Emperor.
