Chapter 462 How Is the World?

Leaving the jade talisman behind, Li Yunqing showed Xu Yuan an enigmatic smile, 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.

It is warm and moist, and the jade is of high quality. To the outside world, this 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 official office.

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 be the best proof that you have committed suicide.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan paused slightly while stroking the surface of the jade talisman, with an unknown smile on his lips, and then 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 something wrong if he said anything 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 playing this role.

He is both talented and talented in cultivation, but he is depressed because of his identity 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 didn't go, he would 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 Imperial, 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 is curling up and the curtains are swaying. Behind the ink screen embroidered with green mountains and green waters, a middle-aged man with a gentle temperament is 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 here alone 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 elder brother opposite, lowered his voice slightly and asked:

"But my dear brother, if you leave the palace at this time, you will probably make your father unhappy, right?"

The man slowly raised his eyes, his pupils dark and shining, with a soft smile:

"It might have happened in the past, but now my father won't. My father has always treated us, his heirs, equally. If Zhaoyuan leads his troops when he goes out, his control over the orphans will naturally be relaxed a lot."

Li Yunqing frowned slightly and gently put down the porcelain cup. Upon seeing this, the gentle man picked up the teapot and filled it up, and 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 Emperor, you won't do it either."

"."

After the words fell, 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 I dare to do it, I'm afraid I won't be alive now."

After all,

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 hand and said:

"Brother, I don't have any"

"You are so wary of my brother."

The middle-aged man chuckled and glared at his brother: "I'm serious, you and Zhao Yuan can have many different choices, but Gusheng only has one choice."

Li Yunqing's eyes changed, and he said in a slightly complicated voice:

"The imperial 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 over the 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.

"Gu has been the shadow of his father all his life, but in the end, everything about Gu is still in his father's thoughts.

"Yunqing, do you still think why Gu said this?"

"."

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 people has gone awry.

The extremely noble status of the eldest brother and the prince directly turned into a restriction.

He cannot get in touch with people and things that his father does not want to see him eliminate, and can only passively accept everything his father has prepared for him, which is the powerful princelings in the court now.

But everything in the problematic princeling party was only temporarily lent to the eldest brother by his father.

Any day his father wants to take it back, it's 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 his elder brother with a complicated look.

What the Great Yan world needs today is not a ruler who can rule the country, but a hero who can quell the rebellion.

"Yunqing,

"I heard that you are going to Japan?"

The gentle voice interrupted Li Yunqing's thoughts. When he came to his senses, he saw his elder brother looking at him with a very gentle look.

After a slight hesitation, Li Yunqing smiled lightly and said half-jokingly:

"I have this idea, but with the current situation in Di'an City, my brother, you seem to be inseparable from me."

"Go if you want."

"." Li Yunqing.

Li Yucheng smiled and looked at the surprise in the other's eyes: "This trip to Japan is indeed safer for you, Yunqing, than staying in Di'an City. ”

“.”

At this moment, Li Yunqing suddenly hesitated.

In childhood, the other party was indeed a very gentle brother.

He accompanied him to play around in the palace and secretly took him out of the palace to see the prosperity of Di'an City.

But as he grew up, as the other party took over the things prepared by his father for him, he also saw the cold-blooded ruthlessness under the other party's gentleness.

He is so honest now, but he was severely beaten by the other party before.

"Why are you looking at me like this?"

Li Yucheng ignored Li Yunqing's expression, glanced in the direction of the palace, and said lightly:

"My father's heart is unpredictable. If something unexpected happens, I will most likely not survive. If I am deposed, Yunqing, you will most likely not survive.

"So, it is safer for you to leave Di'an City.

"Everything is over. If I can ascend the throne, it will not be too late for you to come back then. ”

“.”

Listening to these words, Li Yunqing raised his hand and rubbed his brows vigorously.

He couldn't figure out whether his brother was speaking in a sarcastic way.

And after the other party said that, he felt a little embarrassed to just abandon the other party and run away.

Li Yucheng sighed:

“You kid, you are still so suspicious. "

After the words fell, the room fell silent for a moment.

Li Yunqing pondered how to respond.

In life, there are things you should do and things you shouldn't do.

If this elder brother really puts himself in his shoes, 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 that's the case for Li Yunqing.

He had to be suspicious of this elder brother.

Suspecting that the other party already knew that he deliberately killed Qianxi, a strong man, to eliminate the other party's spies around him.

"Knock knock knock--"

In the silence of the two brothers, a gentle knock on the door suddenly sounded.

After a short silence,

Li Yucheng smiled and shook his head:

"You don't have to think too much. I will report to my father tomorrow. The Japanese are invaded by a group of blond foreigners from the sea. My Great Yan really needs a prince to go there to take charge and find out the specific situation.

"As for now, you should go back to the palace. I will personally receive Wang Licheng."

After the knock on the door, the room was quiet for a moment. Li Yunqing slowly stood up, straightened his robes, and bowed:

"Yes, Yunqing will take his leave first."

After that,

Li Yunqing slowly walked towards the door.

"That's right."

Just after taking two steps, the gentle voice behind him made Li Yunqing pause:

"Is the third son of the prime minister's mansion who went south with you really dead?"

Li Yunqing was slightly startled when he heard this, half turned his body, and said softly:

"Although I didn't see 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 transcendents."

Li Yucheng slowly lowered his eyes and sighed softly:

"That's right, I arranged for the Royal Shadow Guard to investigate Huizhou County before, and the ruins inside are indeed the same as you said, but it's a pity for that girl"

Hearing this, Li Yunqing's heart sank suddenly, but the next moment Li Yucheng continued:

"She actually said that she would be a widow for the rest of her life for the third son."

"I think the emperor doesn't want to marry again." Li Yunqing replied with a fake smile.

Li Yucheng thought for a moment, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "With the girl's personality, it is indeed possible."

"."

Without saying anything else, Li Yunqing nodded and saluted, then slowly walked to the entrance of the gatehouse and stretched out his hand to open the door.

"Zhima——"

The door opened, and after looking at the young man outside the door for a moment, Li Yunqing raised his hand and patted the other's shoulder. As he walked sideways, he smiled softly:

"Prince Wang, my brother is waiting for you in the room, and I won't disturb you two."

"Yes."

Xu Yuan responded, but his eyes glanced at the other's back with a slightly strange look.

At the moment he opened the door, Li Yunqing's eyes were gloomy and a little scary.

But that gloomy look seemed to be an illusion. When he raised his eyes, he saw that he had returned to his usual smiling appearance.

But Xu Yuan certainly didn't think he was wrong. He bowed in the direction where Li Yunqing left, and then looked into the side room.

Just now, the two brothers of the royal family should have talked about something.

But he didn't care much about these things. Now that the hanged man was gone, he didn't have to worry about being exposed.

After closing the door, entering the room, bowing and greeting, Xu Yuan met the current crown prince Li Yucheng.

After a round of greetings, Xu Yuan knelt down opposite the tea tray and began a tentative chat.

Li Yucheng did not get straight to the point, and the topics were all trivial, but what was slightly unexpected to Xu Yuan was that the Great Yan Prince was too gentle.

Yes.

Gentle.

If his elder brother was a cold-faced boss, the brother shared by Li Qingyan and Li Yunqing gave people the feeling of a central air conditioner.

Every topic he raised and every word he said could not only be indifferent to his status, but also make Xu Yuan feel that the other party valued him.

Like a spring breeze.

However, compared with Li Yunqing and Li Qingyan, Li Yucheng was indeed a little older.

Even with a profound cultivation, he still looked like a middle-aged man because of the passage of time.

It turns out that there are really people in this world who can be the prince for sixty years.

However, if the other party can finally sit on the throne, with this temperament, he should become a benevolent monarch.

Of course, this is just Xu Yuan's guess based on his first impression, and judging from the current situation in the court of Dayan, it is probably going to replicate the classics - the original prince will never be the one who ascends the throne.

After drinking tea and chatting, Xu Yuan drank the cup of fragrant tea poured by the other party, and suddenly brought the topic to the main topic of the night:

"Your Highness, you specially called me here tonight, so you shouldn't talk about these things, right?"

Li Yucheng's eyes were gentle and he was not surprised at all, and he smiled softly:

"I hit it off with Prince Wang at first sight, and I almost forgot the main business while talking.

"I came here specially to ask Prince Wang a question."

Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly:

"Your Highness, please ask."

"This is a question that my father asked Mr. Xu back then. "

"." Xu Yuan's heart slightly raised.

The other party actually compared him to Mr. Xu in this sentence.

Wow, if Mr. Xu was not his father, he would be a little touched.

Thinking so in his heart, Xu Yuan's expression was slightly solemn, and he nodded gently.

"Mr. Wang, what do you think of our Great Yan now? "

"."

Xu Yuan showed a trace of embarrassment when he heard this. If he was called by his true identity, he could answer this question casually, but now he needed to consider it. After a while, he whispered:

"It can barely be considered a peaceful and prosperous era."

Li Yucheng smiled lightly and nodded slightly:

"It seems that Mr. Wang also has some opinions on this, but it is inconvenient to say it directly. But do you want to know how Mr. Xu answered it back then?"

Xu Yuan's eyes flashed with curiosity. He really wanted to hear the old man's answer:

"Your Highness, please speak?"

Li Yucheng knocked on the table lightly, his tone leisurely:

"What Mr. Xu said back then, although our Great Yan is a prosperous era, it is not peaceful. ”
