Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In front of the city gate, a carriage drove into Youjing City. Dozens of Zhao army cavalry were guarding the carriage.

    In the carriage, Li Yuanji opened the curtains and said to the Zhao officials in surprise: "This is Youjing City, it's too prosperous."

    The Zhao official said with a half-smile on his face: "Reporting to His Highness King Qi, this has not really reached Youjing City yet, this is just a grass market outside the south of the city."

    "It's not Youjing City? But since it's a grass market, why are there walls and gates?" Li Yuanji couldn't help but ask.

    The Zhao official explained to Li Yuanji: "Reporting to His Majesty the King of Qi, the city wall and gates were repaired back then to prevent the Turks from attacking. Now, of course, it is no longer necessary. There is still a section to the east and west.  Half of them, we simply won¡¯t repair them now.¡±

    Li Yuanji looked at the busy traffic on both sides and couldn't help but said: "The grass market alone is so prosperous! It is almost more prosperous than Chang'an. I can't believe that this is just a short ten years."

    The Zhao official showed a proud look and said: "Your Highness, King Qi, in front of you is the Yongji Canal Wharf. Goods shipped from Hebei to the Great Wall, Liaodong, Goguryeo, and Silla are all collected and distributed here. So this place is more prosperous than Chang'an.  Not an exaggeration at all.¡±

    "So that's it. Youjing is so prosperous and connected to Liaodong, an important place outside the Great Wall. No wonder the Emperor of Zhao is unwilling to move the capital to Luoyang." Li Yuanji said to himself. He also didn't want to appear too ignorant and let this Zhao  The state officials saw themselves clearly.

    The Zhao official did not comment, but smiled and said: "Your Majesty's decision is not something we can easily guess."

    Li Yuanji¡¯s carriage entered Youjing City.  Then he received news that the imperial concubine missed her younger brother, so Li Yuanji immediately went to the palace to meet him.  At that moment, Li Yuanji entered the palace directly.

    Because Linshuo Palace was burned by the Turks.  Li Chongjiu later built a new palace in the north of the city.  The new palace not only takes the old site of Linshuo Palace, but also includes the entire Beiguo of Youjing City.  The project was supervised by He Chou, who is known as the world's most famous craftsman after Yu Wenkai.

    The new palace has not yet been completed, and Li Chongjiu lives in just a corner of the original Linshuo Palace. After Li Yuanji entered the palace, someone took him to the side hall to see Li Zhiwan.

    After Li Yuanji entered the palace, he saw Li Chongjiu and Li Zhiwan there.  Li Yuanji and Li Chongjiu had a relationship back then. When they were in Fenyang Palace, his father Li Yuan stripped this man of his official robe and demoted him to a prisoner.  Li Yuanji still remembers it clearly.

    Now in just over ten years, Li Chongjiu has become the most powerful man in the world.  Li Zhiwan, who was standing next to Li Chongjiu, stood up and said tremblingly when she saw him after several years of separation: "Yuanji, is that you?"

    Li Yuanji said in a choked voice: "Third sister, it's me."

    The reunion of the two siblings was very sad.  Li Zhiwan's eyes were slightly red and she asked: "Brother, is the unexpected thing true? Did the second brother do it?"

    "Yes, third sister. I saw it with my own eyes. Back then, the second brother was a ruthless person and he killed you by the Yellow River. Today, it's my turn and the eldest brother's turn. I was lucky and escaped with my life. But the eldest brother, he  He, I watched with my own eyes as the second brother penetrated the eldest brother with a horse penis. He was so cruel. He was simply inhumane and had no regard for brotherhood at all."

    Li Zhiwan¡¯s eyes showed hatred after hearing this.  Li Yuanji has never seen his sister show such an expression. It is obvious that she is extremely angry.

    Li Chongjiu patted the back of Li Zhiwan's hand gently.  Li Zhiwan nodded.  The anger subsided slightly.  Li Yuanji was slightly surprised. This was different from the arrogant third sister he knew. He had never seen her treat someone like this.

    Li Yuanji was slightly absent-minded, but he saw Li Zhiwan asking with concern: "Is your father okay?"

    Li Yuanji shook his head and said: "I don't know, but I don't think the second brother dares to harm my father. He still needs his father to admit that he will inherit the throne of Prince Li Tang. With this righteousness, he has no need to harm his father."

    Li Zhiwan said: "Although my father is here, my second brother's temperament will definitely put my father under house arrest. And in my heart, my father has completely given up on my second brother. My father should be very heartbroken right now."

    Li Chongjiu said from the side: "Your father has announced to the world that he has appointed King Qin as the crown prince, and now he lives in Da'an Palace. My subordinates have reported back that your father is safe and sound, so you can rest assured."

    Li Zhiwan's worry did not diminish after hearing this, and she said a few more words to Li Yuanji.  Li Chongjiu asked her to go down to rest first, while he and Li Yuanji stayed in the palace.

    After Li Zhiwan left, facing Li Chongjiu, Li Yuanji couldn't help but feel uneasy.

    The two were silent for a while, and Li Yuanji was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, my second brother conspired to usurp the throne, put his father under house arrest, and killed his own brother. I really hate such a person. The Tang Dynasty cannot be left in the hands of such a person.  , if your majesty is willing to help me overthrow my second brother and help me ascend the throne as Li TangLord, I am willing to deprive myself of the title of emperor and take Hedong, Jingxiang, and Henan to reward Zhao. Our Tang Dynasty only needs to keep the lands in Guannei, Sichuan, Shu, and Hanoi, and will always be a vassal and pay tribute to Zhao."

    After Li Yuanji finished speaking, he looked at Li Chongjiu with a look of expectation in his eyes.

    Li Chongjiu couldn¡¯t help laughing after hearing this, as if he had heard some joke.  Li Yuanji's heart suddenly sank.

    Li Chongjiu said: "Your Highness, King Qi, do you think it is possible for me to agree to your request?"

    Li Yuanji said: "Your Majesty, I"

    Li Chongjiu interrupted Li Yuanji and said: "If I agree to this condition, you will definitely die without a burial place in the future. If you don't die in my hands, you will die in the hands of my generals, or even the hands of assassins. Under the whole world  Could it be the land of the king, and the shore of the land could not be the king's ministers. Which emperor allows others to sleep soundly next to his bed?"

    Sweat dripped from Li Yuanji's forehead. Li Chongjiu patted Li Yuanji's shoulder and said: "Yuanji, I am treating you with courtesy today not because you are the King of Qi of Li Tang, but because you are the younger brother of my noble concubine. Think about the fact that you are the same as me.  Yang Jian, the king of Qi, is the brother of my queen. When we first launched our army, we only had a small base. He asked me to make him emperor, but I refused to agree. How much less today?"

    Li Yuanji was shocked and hesitated for a long time.  Li Chongjiu said: "If you can't figure it out, I'll give you time to think about it. It's important for people to be self-aware, give up the illusions they shouldn't have, and understand what can be fought for now. If you want me to defeat your second brother and avenge the death of the prince,  I can still do it. Just go back and think about it."

    Li Yuanji listened to Li Chongjiu's words, and of course he walked out of the hall in despair. When he walked outside the hall, he saw a cool breeze blowing, and the guard on the side said to Li Yuanji: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has arranged a place for you to stay."

    Li Yuanji seemed to have not heard, but had made some decision. He suddenly ran back to the palace and came to Li Chongjiu. He knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I can help Zhao Guo defeat Li Tang. Please use me more!"

    Seeing Li Yuanji like this, Li Chongjiu couldn't help laughing. He immediately got up and stepped forward to help Li Yuanji up and said, "Very good, that's right." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better and faster novels!
