Chapter 727 Kui Wei is hunting in the north
In a place unknown to most people, the war has already begun.
The scouts fought, the soldiers roared, mountains of flesh and blood were piled up, and blood flowed like rivers. It was like the collision of military formations that made the heaven and earth hang upside down, and countless fresh lives withered and withered in an instant.
But at the origin of this war,
The center of power in Dayan,
The solemn atmosphere among the three old men quickly subsided.
Just because the prime minister left a line.
Although Xu Yinhe put the war that was happening quietly on the table, he did not reveal the name of the person who brazenly sent troops.
Maybe it's patience, maybe it's giving in.
But no matter which one it is, it shows that the Prime Minister does not want to break the relationship now, and temporarily talks while fighting, limiting the war to Xizezhou, which is also in line with everyone's short-term expectations.
Under the drag of the nine-headed earth dragon, the majestic Emperor's Palace slowly drove into the destination. The non-returning army guarding the whole road stopped the military formation outside the Huanglong Forest. The golden-armored imperial army stationed at the hunting ground He took over the responsibility of guarding.
Li Zhaoyuan, who was riding a strange beast that looked like a wild animal and dressed in a python robe, stared calmly at the distant land palace and the ink mountain forest shrouded in vast mist. His voice was full of reminiscence:
"This hunting ground really hasn't changed at all."
The general in front, wearing heavy armor and military uniform, leading Li Zhaoyuan's horse, looked back in surprise when he heard this:
"His Highness should not have been more than 10 years old at that time, but he still remembers it?"
Li Zhaoyuan looked at the misty mountains and forests, his eyes seemed to penetrate time, and he smiled and murmured:
"I also want to forget it, but I can't forget it. I can't forget the scene when my mother-in-law and I were humiliated by the emperor and empress here under the imperial dragon banner."
The general withdrew his gaze upon hearing this and whispered in a deep voice:
"Since Your Highness led the army, the Queen must have had a difficult time, especially in the past three days, the vicious woman must be on tenterhooks."
When the emperor traveled before the deadline, he did not use the Imperial Guard to **** him, but instead let the second prince lead the army. This was already an extremely obvious political signal.
"The world is still uncertain, so don't make false claims."
Li Zhaoyuan's voice suppressed his smile and said with profound meaning: "My eldest brother, the Emperor, just met the Third Young Master a few days ago, and the Third Young Master seems to really dislike seeing me."
The words fell,
Li Zhaoyuan waved his hand to interrupt the general's unspoken words:
"O companion, let's change the formation."
".yes."
As the military orders were passed, there was no bustling conversation among the ranks, and the soldiers in dense formation began to change formations in silence.
In addition to the Chinese army surrounding the formation, tens of thousands of soldiers dispersed efficiently and quickly to the surrounding areas, surrounding the Emperor Dragon Hunting Ground in a siege formation.
When the change of formation was over, the emperor's palace was completely hidden in the vast Huanglong Mountain Forest. Li Zhaoyuan's starry eyes, which were still in the ancient well, finally had a trace of emotion, and he murmured in a low voice:
"Today should be the day when my father makes a decision, so we must prepare in advance."
"The Army of No Return has changed its formation."
Under the yellow umbrella, looking at the waves rising behind due to the change of formations, Ran Jianli touched his stubble and said with a smile: "Ran doesn't know military formations. Prime Minister, can you help me see what formation this is?" "?"
"Is the Imperial Master worried about Zhao Yuan?"
Before Xu Yinhe could speak, Li Yaoxuan raised his drooped eyelids slightly and stared at Ran Jianli with a meaningful smile in his eyes: "With the cultivation of the national master, if you can't break this military formation, can't you still escape?"
Ran Jianli's face twitched.
He never thought that Li Yaoxuan's words would be so direct.
But then I thought about the fact that the other party's deadline was imminent, and it seemed that there was really no need to cover up anymore, so he replied angrily:
"Your Majesty, you really know how to joke. With such a large military formation, the three of us together can barely break it, right?"
Speaking of which,
Ran Jianli suddenly asked back:
"Your Majesty, do you still remember the hunt for Concubine Qin in the north?"
Concubine Qin, the mother of Li Zhaoyuan.
Li Yaoxuan recalled for a moment, his turbid eyes subconsciously glanced at the flat land on the west side of the palace, and said softly:
"The national master refers to Guiwei Beishou thirty years ago?"
Ran Jianli smiled and nodded:
"It was the Northern Hunt in which His Highness the Second Prince won the first prize."
When Kuai Wei was hunting in the north, Prince Zhaoyuan came out on top with a crushing force at the age of 18. The emperor and the empress were jealous and made their mother and concubine serve tea in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to show their "closeness". Later, the emperor gave his mother and son a The clan's flags are used to greet you, but if you don't hear the trace, you can't afford it.
Kneeling in front of the royal family banner is a reward for a commoner prince, but usually after three kowtows and nine bows, he can stand up and confer royal awards. And the queen's words, "Zhao Yuan is such a celestial figure, the clans must be happy and sincerely bow, and there will be a response if you think about it", which directly made the mother and son kneel in front of the clan banner for ten days. After the Northern Hunting, Li Zhaoyuan, mother and son, went together. was taken back to the palace.
Thinking of this, Li Yaoxuan's expression did not change at all:
"I remember that time in Beishou. It was not easy for Zhaoyuan to fulfill his filial piety in front of the court."
"Do you show your filial piety in front of the court?"
Ran Jianli glanced at the Wugui Army Formation, shook his head, and said:
"Your Majesty, Ran remembers that the empress also sent the second prince to Jingshu Palace for seven years."
The end of Guiwei Northern Hunting is not the end of the race for the top spot, but just the beginning.
After returning to the palace, the empress said, "If you don't sincerely kowtow to the clan, continue to kneel." She sent Li Zhaoyuan and her son directly to the cold palace, and set up a clan banner in the courtyard to let the mother and son continue to kneel.
The aloof queen only had to say a casual word, and it fell like a mountain on Concubine Qin, who was born as a palace maid, and Li Zhaoyuan, who was born as a concubine.
Li Zhaoyuan and Concubine Qin had been kneeling for seven years.
Seven years is the upper limit.
Because the clan sent people to confer Li Zhaoyuan the title of king.
He must leave the palace when he reaches sixteen.
During these seven years,
The cold palace without any source of Qi made Li Zhaoyuan's cultivation stagnant.
Concubine Qin, who had been unable to kneel down for many years, almost died several times because of her shallow cultivation.
And these,
Li Yaoxuan just watched quietly.
Thinking of this,
Ran Jianli looked directly into Li Yaoxuan's eyes and asked with a chuckle:
"After such an experience, Your Majesty, aren't you worried that the second prince will not be able to fulfill his filial piety in front of the court?"
"National Master, he won't worry."
Xu Yinhe suddenly interrupted at this time, his tone calm: "If the second prince has the heart to kill his father here, he will be very happy.
"Am I right, Your Majesty?"
"."
The air was silent for a moment.
When the etiquette between monarch and minister begins to break down, all words gradually become direct.
Li Yaoxuan's old and withered face gradually revealed a smile, and his thin body trembled slightly due to his low laughter. He raised his eyes with a hint of complexity, stared at his old friend, and said with a smile:
"As expected, Yin He is the one who understands me best."
Xu Yinhe didn't say anything superfluous and asked expressionlessly:
"So, Your Majesty, are you prepared for him to kill his father?"
Li Yaoxuan thought about it a little and did not deny:
"I've done some, but there are some things that even I can't do anything about."
"If the second prince really has this intention, he will definitely take these things into consideration."
"You have a very high opinion of Zhaoyuan."
"No, the premise of that statement is that the second prince really dares to do it."
Xu Yinhe shook his head, glanced at the scattered military formations on the horizon, and said:
"But looking at the military formation, the Second Prince should be waiting for your Majesty's decision."
How could Li Yaoxuan not understand this? He sighed softly:
"Maybe if I make a decision earlier, maybe he won't have to wait for me anymore, but..."
Speaking of which,
Li Yaoxuan suddenly looked at Xu Yinhe, his eyes were deep and deep:
"Xiangguo,
"I have prepared my affairs, what about you?"
