Phoenix and Dragon

Chapter 36

Even in the boundless night, the palace under the moon also has resplendent jade railings.

Li Xu wrote before the case with a vermilion pen.

In fact, the two brothers, Emperor Li Xu and Prince Su Li Xi, look very similar. When they were young princes, they were both beauties in Beijing.

Prince Su's appearance is rather rigid, he is an out-and-out military general, while Li Xu's demeanor is calm and calm, without anger and prestige, he is the appearance of an emperor who has the palm of his hand.

The panic of being assassinated just now seemed to have nothing to do with this decisive emperor. The imperial study room was lit all night, except for the usual white and fat Eunuch Gao who was decorated with human flesh, the emperor seemed to be just as usual. hour.

The center of the eye of the storm is the most peaceful and tranquil.

After an unknown amount of time, behind Li Xu, the bright yellow curtain moved without wind.

Li Xu only turned his eyes sideways, not even the expression on his face changed.

A person appeared silently behind the curtain.

"Master." The man was hidden in the darkness, almost invisible, if he hadn't made a sound, no one would be close to him, and there was a person standing here silently.

The man paused for a moment, did not wait for the reaction that the emperor imagined, but continued to understand: "Ninth Young Master is here."

Li Xu nodded lightly.

People in the dark knew it, and disappeared without a sound, as if no one had ever existed there, like a haunted ghost.

Apparently, the emperor considered himself a real dragon emperor descended from heaven, who was three points more effective than the beasts in the town house.

Where he is, there are absolutely no ghosts, only demons.

This monster stirs up trouble and is a lawless leader of right and wrong.

After a while, two footsteps sounded in front of the emperor's case.

One light and one heavy.

Li Xu raised his head again, and the two of them were already kneeling in the hall.

The unapproved and unpublished papers were piled high, Li Xu looked over the obstacles formed by the papers, looked at the two of His Royal Highnesses, and slowly put down the ink brush that hadn't been put in his hand for a long time.

"Is it late?" Li Xu turned his eyes and asked knowingly, "The one next to him is...Meng Dong?"

Li Mingyuan, the eldest son of Prince Su, was born in October in Mengdong, when the autumn is still cold.

Back then, Princess Su's concubine Zhang gave birth to Li Mingyuan in a very difficult time. After giving birth for ten hours, even the queen mother in the palace was alarmed. In order to reassure the queen mother, the emperor specially sent his most trusted doctor to Prince Su's mansion. An hour later, the imperial doctor reported that the princess had given birth to the eldest son of Prince Su.

The queen mother was happy when she heard the words, and Li Xu was also happy. She looked up at the weather outside, and bestowed the word Meng Dong on Li Mingyuan.

The name of Shi Zi Ye was obtained by the emperor.

It's just that no one has called him that for a long time.

Hearing this, Li Mingyuan's heart moved, and his eyes turned away, but he saw Qin Feng looking at him.

Li Mingyuan finally realized that it was the emperor who was calling him, so he came back to his senses and quickly answered.

Li Xu stood up, bypassed the desk, and walked slowly towards the two of them.

His voice did not fluctuate. As an emperor, his attitude just now was enough to be called amiable and pleasant.

However, even if Li Mingyuan was an ignorant stick, he would never think that the emperor was happy.

Even the calm appearance could not conceal the fact that the emperor had just been assassinated. If the emperor was a little more irritable, at this time, the capital would have already been bloodbathed, or countless people would have fallen to the ground.

The emperor has not yet ordered the executioner to bring out the guillotine to cut the head of a cabbage gang, just because he has something to say.

Sure enough, the emperor stood still not far in front of where Qin Feng and Li Mingyuan were kneeling, and seemed to stare at them for a long time before suddenly asking, his voice was low and majestic without distinguishing between emotions and anger: "Wan Zhi, what happened tonight , I want to hear your explanation."

When Qin Feng was named, he bowed and kowtowed, calmly and calmly.

"Your Majesty, do you know about the Shanhe Society?"

Li Xu looked at Qin Feng's open face: "Oh?"

Qin Feng's clothes are like jade: "The Mountain and River Club started many years ago. It was formed by a group of rabble with wolves and ambitions. Those wishful thinking did not dare to speak out to pollute the emperor's ears. What happened tonight was done by these thieves." .”

Li Xu stared at him for a long time, his emperor's eyebrows were slightly frowned.

"...A mob with wolfish ambitions?" Li Xu asked slowly, "Then what about the mastermind behind it? Has there been any clues?"

Qin Feng shook his head slightly: "No."

Li Xu frowned instantly: "Oh?"

Qin Feng bowed again: "Will the emperor listen to me?"

Li Xu's face was deep and he didn't say a word.

Qin Feng was fearless, he only regarded him as acquiescing, and said frankly: "Received the grace of the Holy Majesty lately, it is like being reborn, and I also know that the Holy Majesty has doubts, so I will spare no effort to solve the problem for the Emperor. Today's matter, there is another Concealment is not the fault of the predecessors."

What he said was eloquent and respectful.

Li Mingyuan was in a fog while listening, basically relying on guessing.

However, the time I have been in contact with Qin Feng is not short or long, and my understanding of his character is no longer like that of the earlier days.

Put this cognition aside for now, Li Mingyuan may still have some misunderstandings about himself, but he feels that he has no misunderstandings about Qin Feng.

Qin Feng's words are more beautiful than people, and more subtle than secret codes, but no matter how beautiful the words are, no secret code can conceal his original intention - "My lord, don't be suspicious, the grandsons of the Shanhe Society are thinking about seeking the court For usurping the throne, let me go and beat them up."

Li Mingyuan thought of Qin Feng's saying that the emperor would scold him weepingly, and he didn't doubt his own judgment at all. No matter how gorgeous the words came from Qin Feng's mouth, his original intention was definitely this.

If it wasn't for the wrong atmosphere, the wrong mood, and the wrong occasion, Shizi felt that he was about to laugh out loud.

The son of the world felt that since he could see Qin Feng's true appearance clearly in the short time he had been with Qin Feng, the emperor would not fail to see it.

Sure enough, Li Xu walked around twice, and slapped the mountain of booklets with his backhand.

With a "bang", the mountain-like folds trembled, even the little eunuch passing by outside the hall trembled cooperatively, and Qin Feng didn't even blink his eyes in the face of the emperor's sudden thunderous anger.

"Your Majesty." He said softly, "With your wisdom, you must know that it is not him; with your kindness, you must also hope that it is not him."

The left sentence is wise, and the right sentence is kind. It is so flattering when others say it. Even if it is a compliment when it comes out of Qin Feng's mouth, it has a different effect.

In just two sentences, the tyranny that had surged out of Li Xu's heart was firmly suppressed back to the deepest part of his heart.

The emperor's complexion is not very good compared to the lack of joy and anger just now.He took a deep and heavy breath, and then readjusted the ugly face just now to the same color before the collapse of Mount Tai, and slowly turned his gaze to Li Mingyuan who had been silent for a long time.

"Meng Dong." The emperor's voice was calm, and he couldn't hear the joy, but he didn't seem particularly angry, "I haven't seen your father for a long time. I heard he is sick?"

Thinking of Li Xi, Prince Su who was pretending to be sick at home, Li Mingyuan felt ashamed when he answered, even though his skin was three feet thick.

Yuqian said the wrong thing, at a young level, it is unruly, at a high level, it is deceiving the emperor, in fact, no matter what, just fool the past.

Li Mingyuan didn't talk nonsense out of Qin Feng's realm, and he was good enough at fooling people. At this time, he was called out, and immediately put on a face: "The emperor misses...the father also misses the emperor very much when he is ill."

Hearing this, Li Xu nodded inexplicably.

Li Xu was aware of Li Xi's true illness and false illness, but he was also absent-minded when he heard Li Mingyuan respond to such a sentence.

Many times, as an emperor, he already knows everything. As for lies, if he doesn't tell them, it's just that he doesn't want to expose them.

What Qin Feng just said was vague, but unambiguous.

In just a few words, enough tacit understanding has been conveyed.

Li Xu had heard about the Shanhe Society for a long time, and the secret reports all over the territory were not placed on his case for nothing. He knew that this power was gradually growing, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

Mountains and rivers will be like an old disease that develops rapidly. A few days ago, it was only in the skin, but after a few days, it has reached the point where the doctor sees it and turns away.

An ordinary rivers and lakes organization will not develop so fast, and Qin Feng's meaning is also here. He wants to thoroughly investigate the reasons behind the rapid development of the Jianghu Association, and does not want Li Xu to do more on other details entanglement.

Li Xu undoubtedly believed in Qin Feng, as Qin Feng himself said, "Grace is like rebirth", but other people...

Li Xu looked at Li Mingyuan who was kneeling on the ground respectfully, and had many thoughts for a while.

Qin Feng never mentioned Prince Su's Mansion, and even rejected Li Xu's doubts. This is because he has made up his mind to remove Prince Su's Mansion from this matter.

Prince Su's mansion has been making small moves over the years, Li Xu is not ignorant, he has always turned a blind eye to it, until the actor's wife murder case that caused a lot of noise a while ago, Li Xu finally couldn't bear it.

He could laugh at the superficial confusion of gods, gods, ghosts and ghosts in an imperial manner, but the news about Prince Su's mansion being in the process of dispatching troops from the secret report was what really made Li Xu feel like he was on pins and needles.

Although the letter card was undoubtedly a forgery, and Prince Su's mansion got the forged thing, he didn't say a word, what exactly did he want to do?

Rebellion can be suppressed, and chaos can be settled.

But dormant without sound or action, on the contrary, it will breed huge doubts.

Qin Feng is right, although he suspects that Li Xi has something wrong in his heart, but from another aspect - from the perspective of flesh and blood, he does not want his suspicion to come true.

Li Xu looked at the young man kneeling on the ground with deep eyes.

Li Mingyuan is very similar to his father, even the wanton domineering aura of his youth is a bit similar. On the outside, he has the evil spirit of a rich kid, but in fact, his nature is righteous in his bones, he is skillful without learning.

Li Xu suddenly remembered that many years ago, Li Xi seemed to be kneeling there because he had made some mistake. He was pleading for him, so he could only kneel with him.

In that year and that month, their father was still in good spirits, and he could slap his table to scold his son, and the old emperor's cadence of reprimanding by citing scriptures could be heard inside and outside the palace.

In a blink of an eye, the situation in the imperial palace is changing, the country is easy to change, but one's nature can be changed?

Li Xu's eyes sank.

"Meng Dong may not have entered the palace for a long time." Li Xu said in a deep voice, "The Empress Dowager often mentions you to me."

Li Mingyuan bowed his head, feeling strange, and heard the emperor continue: "The barbarians have been restless in Beijing these days, and the queen mother has not been out of the palace for a long time. I don't know the situation outside and worry about it day and night. Since you have entered the palace, go to accompany me these few days." The queen mother speaks, and the queen mother's heart is broadened."
