Chapter 33 Consensus!

The eldest brother Li Xuantu is extremely arrogant. Even if he wanted to kill himself, he would not use this method. After thinking about it, it was just the two of them.

"If it is really them, then these two people are too brave. Assassinating the prince in the palace is a serious crime!"

Wang Jiuling suddenly spoke. It was obvious that he and Li Taiyi had thought about this matter.

"This matter is far from that simple. The palace is heavily guarded, and there are many internal experts patrolling the palace openly and covertly. The most important thing is that everyone knows that the imperial army is now under the command of the eldest prince."

"Without his permission, these two people would not have been able to reach the Jade Dragon Palace silently."

At this moment, behind Li Taiyi, a young general spoke. It was Zhang Shougui, Li Taiyi's new general.

In the Turkic War, Zhang Shougui not only showed outstanding military talent, but also excelled in strategy and intelligence.

As soon as Zhang Shougui's voice fell, there was a sudden silence in the hall, and everyone's hearts were heavy.

Now that the Emperor of Tang is seriously ill, the situation in the palace is complicated and turbulent.

A second prince who has been running the court for many years and has gathered a large number of party members is not easy to deal with. Coupled with the eldest prince Li Xuantu, whose reputation in the court is at its peak, the current situation is extremely unfavorable for everyone.

"The soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth. You don't have to worry about this matter. I have my own mind."

Li Taiyi said calmly.

He is definitely not someone who just sits there and waits for death. If Li Chengyi goes too far, he will have nothing to do with him.

…

At this moment, another palace.

"What do Yin Yang ghosts mean? How dare they accept money and not do anything?!"

The second prince, Li Chengyi, looked angrily and squeezed the teacup in his hand, seemingly unaware of it even as hot tea flowed out along the broken cracks.

Before Li Taiyi's rise, he had secretly controlled most of the court while his eldest brother Li Xuantu was away. As long as he used people who had already surrendered to him and originally belonged to the eldest brother's camp to throw dirty water, the eldest brother would be "unworthy of his moral integrity". If the eldest brother adds jealousy to Emperor Tang's side, he will naturally lose his position as crown prince.

And the position of prince will definitely go to him in the future.

but now,

A waste has actually risen? ? ?

He was obviously a dandy prince, why did he suddenly rise to prominence? ! !

Thinking of this, the second prince Li Chengyi gritted his teeth with a look of reluctance.

The serious corruption case involving Li Taiyi had caused the power that originally belonged to him to fall apart, and there were only a few people who could use it.

However, only after enduring hardships can one become a master. He can endure all these. If there are not enough people, he can just arrange them.

However, not long after Li Taiyi returned from the Turkic victory and entered the court, those who were originally under his influence unexpectedly entered Li Taiyi's camp.

At that moment, Li Chengyi understood that he was no longer the center of this battle.

——For those courtiers, the first prince and the third prince are what the Tang Emperor values ​​most at present, and only one of these two will eventually sit on the supreme dragon throne.

Time passed quietly, and the hall became increasingly silent.

"Urgent measures should be used in emergency situations. I will never let you two ascend the throne! It seems that we can only use that method."

I don't know how long it took, but the second prince Li Chengyi seemed to have calmed down, and a bright light flashed in his eyes, which meant something unknown.

Soon, he raised his head and thought for a while, then immediately said to the little eunuch outside the hall:

"Get ready and visit the East Palace immediately."

When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. Only in this way will he really have a chance.

…

At this moment, the East Palace.

"Your Highness, the man from the Jade Dragon Palace received help from the Ministry of Industry earlier, and now Wang Jiuling under his command has entered the Ministry of Personnel and taken the position of Minister. The current situation is very unfavorable to us."

In the main hall, a person who looked like an aide looked worried and said to the eldest prince Li Xuantu who was sitting on the main seat.

After hearing what this staff member said, other staff members in the hall also nodded.

"hold on."

At the main seat, although everyone was admonishing him, Li Xuantu always kept his eyes slightly closed and tapped the table with his two fingers rhythmically, as if he was waiting for something.

"this……"

In the East Palace, all the staff were confused and glanced at each other, seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

At this moment, a eunuch with a long camera suddenly appeared at the door of the East Palace.

Li Xuantu seemed to feel something, and immediately raised his eyelids slightly, signaling the eunuch to speak.

"The Second Prince is visiting."

The eunuch ordered and immediately lowered his head and said.

Hearing the eunuch's words, almost everyone in the East Palace frowned.

Why did the Second Prince come to His Highness at this time?

"Let him in!"

Li Xuantu seemed to have expected it, and said calmly without any fluctuation on his face.

And soon, when he finished speaking, the eunuch immediately withdrew. Not long after, a handsome and tall figure appeared in the East Palace, it was the second prince Li Chengyi.

"Brother."

As soon as Li Chengyi entered the palace, he immediately bowed and looked respectful and respectful to his brother.

Logically speaking, Li Chengyi should get a response from his eldest brother Li Xuantu soon, and then get to the point naturally. However, after Li Chengyi saluted, Li Xuantu gently made himself a cup of tea as if he hadn't seen anything.

For a moment, the smile on Li Chengyi's face froze.

Just when the atmosphere became increasingly awkward, a cold voice suddenly came into Li Chengyi's ears:

"The second brother stole the chicken but lost the rice, so he started to remember me as the eldest brother!"

Hearing Li Xuantu's words, Li Chengyi's eyes suddenly flashed with confusion, but soon, when Li Chengyi figured it out, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Stealing the chicken but losing the rice?

Doesn't this refer to the fact that he hired murderers to kill people?

The second prince Li Chengyi secretly glanced at his eldest brother Li Xuantu's expression without revealing any trace. That cold look that seemed to see through everything caused dense cold sweat to break out on his forehead.

Big brother knows it!

"Brother, I have no choice but to do this!"

Li Chengyi looked so frightened that he knelt down in front of Li Xuantu

"Don't be afraid. You are my sibling. How can I blame you so easily?"

At this moment, Li Xuantu's unhurried voice came over. The voice sounded calm, but Li Chengyi's ears felt cold all over.

"Thank you, Brother Huang, for your kindness."

Li Chengyi swallowed.

"Tell me, you should be more than just talking about this when you visit me at this time."

Glancing at Li Chengyi's "sincere" look, Li Xuantu sneered and said.

"Since my brother is straight to the point, I will tell you straight away that my brother's martial arts skills are far better than mine. I know that I can't compete with your brother, so I voluntarily withdraw from this fight for the throne. As long as my brother agrees, he will make me king in the future." , I will be rewarded with an official position, I am willing to join the imperial brother, help the emperor wholeheartedly to deal with the third brother, and ascend to the supreme position in the Ninth Five-Year Plan."

Li Chengyi said in a deep voice.

"Oh? That's very nice, but why should I believe you?"

Li Xuantu smiled casually and remained unmoved.

There are all kinds of lies and lies in the royal family. Li Chengyi has always coveted the throne, how could he easily believe it?

"Brother Imperial, you were also in the Taiji Hall before. My father's health is no longer what it used to be. There has been no court appearance in the Taihe Hall for several days. The Taishi and Taifu have been acting as temporary substitutes. I forgive my brother for being bold. Afraid of my father..."

Li Chengyi lowered his head and did not continue speaking. He believed that the eldest prince should understand what he meant.

"Bold! Are you saying that my father's end is approaching?! How dare you say such nonsense? My father just feels unwell. I will naturally try to find various miraculous medicines to cure my father."

"It's totally rebellious for you to have such an idea!"

Li Xuantu scolded sternly, his expression extremely cold.

Li Chengyi gritted his teeth, knowing that it would be difficult to convince Li Xuantu with just such words.

"Brother Imperial, Ziwei appears again, protected by five stars..."

"Buzz!"

Hearing these words, Li Xuantu and everyone in the East Palace changed their expressions, but on the other side, Li Chengyi breathed a long sigh of relief.

"I didn't expect you even knew this. It seems that you have also placed a lot of people in my East Palace."

Li Xuantu said coldly.

"Brother Huang also has many spies in my palace, doesn't he?"

Li Chengyi lowered his head and looked calm.

"The changes in the celestial phenomena have heralded the future pattern of the Tang Dynasty. If my younger brother is not in the horoscope, I am afraid it will be difficult to compete with the imperial brother. But the third younger brother is different. The newly-appeared Ziwei Emperor Star, without any surprise, refers to the third younger brother. ”

"In just a few short years, he has gathered many capable people and strangers around him, not to mention that Empress Dou De fought for him. Now only Empress Dou De can enter the Tai Chi Palace. If something happens to Tai Chi Palace, Empress Dou De will correct her. According to the imperial edict..., the one who will be in power at that time may not be the imperial brother, but the third brother."

"If that happens, brother Huang...are you willing to do it?"

In the last sentence, Li Chengyi's voice was resounding.

The entire east palace was quiet, no one spoke. Li Xuantu raised his head, his face changing.

"I believe you for now, but if you dare to betray me, I will make your life worse than death!"

I don’t know how long it took, but the eldest prince finally spoke.

Li Chengyi raised his head, but a smile appeared on his lips.
