7.11 - 7.12(1/2)
7.11
Li Xudong was born as a material for war. His violent and bloodthirsty was completely released on the battlefield. At the same time, he was not as delicate as a prince. He was even more hungry and hard-working than the poorest soldiers.
From the military supervisor to the vanguard and then to the commander, it took him only two years and established a supreme prestige in the army. On the other hand, Gao Nian became a foil for him to gain the favor of the soldiers and was assisted by gods. Gao Nian was not literary or martial, but he was very polite and liked to brag. His biggest hobby was to steal other people's military merits. Others killed the enemy on the front line, and he hid in the back and trembled. When others came back in blood, he immediately took a knife and went forward to harvest the dead corpse and took it to receive the merits. Over time, it made the heavens angry and resentful.
However, his surname is Gao, who can do anything to him? No one else can say that, but he has less respect and admiration for Gao Min, and he will no longer treat him as the god of war in Dayan.
While Li Xudong controlled the 800,000 troops in the southern border, Li Jintian also dismantled Gao Min's millions of troops and divided them into several groups, and sent his connections to the Sixth Prince one after another.
After three years of investigation, there is no doubt that the Sixth Prince is the most suitable next emperor in his mind. The princes who were making trouble in the capital were just a few shields he raised. The eighth prince who had used before and the ninth prince was successively assassinated by the Gao family. Now the seemingly glorious seventh prince is also facing the end of being impeached by the ministers and then banned. Only the Sixth Prince avoided the disaster because of the high mountains and high roads.
Unable to get rid of the sixth prince openly, Gao Min instructed his confidant in the southern border to assassinate the other party. He made frequent moves over the past three years, but he never succeeded. Li Jintian knew this clearly, but he could not completely break up with Gao Min. He thought that when the Gao family collapsed, Gao Min would be at peace and would stay by his side and live with him, just like Qi Xiujie.
So he attracted him but did not send him a message, but sent many people to protect the Sixth Prince.
Li Xudong sat in the camp with a big golden sword, and a particularly handsome military doctor was about to take a break of the bandage on his back to check the wound.
"You just took a shower?" Li Xudong's nose moved slightly.
The military doctor pressed his head very low and replied in a silence.
"You always have a very distant and elegant fragrance on you, do you know it yourself?" Li Xudong has just reached eighteen now, but is eight feet and three inches tall. His bronze skin and strong muscles are hidden in the semi-open underwear. His extraordinary appearance and harsh and cold temperament add infinite charm to him.
He leaned closer and went to sniff the military doctor's naked white neck, his expression seemed to be intoxicated.
The military doctor was startled and quickly covered his neck with his hands. Two red bulges appeared on his cheeks. His already pretty facial features were actually a bit brighter. It is said that after three years of service, the sow was as good as Diao Chan. The military doctor was often teased by the soldiers because of his appearance.
Li Xudong smiled lowly, grabbed his arm and sighed, "What are you covering? I already saw it when you were bathing last time."
The military doctor stared at the eyes and looked frightened.
Li Xudong's voice became more hoarse and low, "You deliberately led me to your camp to get medicine. Isn't it just to let me see the cinnabar mole on the back of your neck? Isn't this kind of narrow-minded person, and he is also a brother. Gao Min can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, why can't you cure the disease and save the patient?"
The military doctor's dim eyes lit up instantly, and he looked at him with gratitude. Seeing him reaching out to touch the cinnabar mole in his neck, he forgot to struggle to resist.
Li Xudong lifted off the fake skin, slowly rubbed the bright red cinnabar, and sighed, "How much benefit will Gao Min give you to seduce me? Are you still planning to steal military information from me and sell it to the Yue tribe, so that I can die in the southern border? Even the safety of the country and the people is abandoned. Gao Min is really going back and forth. Is the guardian of Dayan? A joke."
Before the military doctor could struggle, he cut off the other party's neck with his five fingers, tore off the skin with the cinnabar mole, threw it into the brazier and burned it to ashes. It is not good to grow wherever he grows.
His face gradually changed from cold to reminiscence and tenderness. The cinnabar mole of the king and father also grew in the neck, small, red and very cute. Many times, when he hugged the other person from behind, he couldn't help but lean over to suck, lick, and bite. When he was fifteen years old, he was so excited that he couldn't fall asleep all night after thinking about it like this. The part under his crotch was hard for several hours, which made him feel uncomfortable and excited and unable to control it.
It's almost gone, and soon, the king and father will be mine. He smiled with a determination, then pulled open the gauze and poured a jar of strong wine on the wound of the flesh turning outwards.
Two guards walked in and skillfully dragged the body out for disposal.
The next day, the war drums were as usual. Li Xudong rushed into the South Vietnamese army and took the head of the enemy commander. He noticed the sound of breaking through the air in his head. He swung his knife to block it, chopped a cold arrow in half, and then looked at the distance and looked at Gao Nian, who was still in a state of surprise and maintaining the archery posture.
Is it hard for the spy to take action personally if he fails to assassinate?
Li Xudong smiled contemptuously and took down the big bow on his back and shot an arrow. Gao Nian wanted to escape when he hit the horse, but was penetrated by a streaming arrow, and he died and was so clear.
--------------------------------
In Zichen Palace, Zhou Yunsheng was reading the letter from the wolf cub. He shot Gao Nian in front of everyone. The cub was still the same as before, with simple and crude methods. In this way, Gao Lang must be unable to hold back. Why would I add another bundle of firewood?
He thought for a moment, went to the Yangxin Palace to ask for his own visit, and at the same time sent an urgent letter, asking the little boy to lead the army back to the capital day and night.
Li Jintian wanted to completely separate Gao Min from the Gao family. As long as Gao Min is still by his side, he didn't care about the life and death of the fifth prince at all. After receiving the court officials' memorial to impeach the sixth prince's murder of the second son of the Gao family, he burned it with a glance, but ignored it.
The power of the Gao family and King Li has been disintegrated by eight or nine out of ten, and he no longer needs to endure it.
Then, after hearing Qi Xiujie's request to collect the corpse of Qi's family, he made it accurate with a stroke of his pen and even picked a Feng Shui treasure land to be buried with a grand funeral.
His every move made Gao Min angry, puzzled, and even discouraged. He didn't understand why this man became so fast.
Gao Lang saw through his own brothers. He avoided Li Jintian's many eyes and ears and then met Gao Min in a temple.
"Just like the time when the Qi family was not allowed, the emperor could not tolerate my Gao family. He has been making arrangements since three years ago. I think the Sixth Prince should be his favorite candidate for the crown prince, and Yan'er is just a shield." Gao Lang spoke slowly.
"Impossible." Gao Min immediately denied.
"The Sixth Prince was originally a useless man. His legs went to the border but miraculously improved and he made many achievements. How did you think he escaped the surveillance and assassination of my Gao family? Without Li Jintian's protection, he would not have a current status. Without Li Jintian's support, he would never have the current status. Min'er, stop deceive himself, Li Jintian would have changed a long time ago. He wanted to destroy the Gao family, destroy you and me, and even destroy Yan'er. The emperor is an emperor after all, and he has no sincerity. Look at his performance over the years, when Nian'er died, he didn't even scold the Sixth Prince, and even collects the bones of the Qi family. His heart is completely biased towards the father and son."
Gao Min was silent, feeling a chill oozing out of his bone marrow and gradually spread throughout his body.
"Brother, what should Yan'er and I do?"
"Is the tiger talisman still in your hands?" Gao Lang's eyes burst into murderous intent.
"Tiger Talisman, the tiger Talisman has been returned to Li Jintian long ago." Gao Min's voice was hoarse.
Gao Lang's expression was twisted for a moment, but he quickly calmed down. Since Li Jintian was prepared, he naturally would not let his younger brother control the army. I am afraid that in the past three years, his younger brother's hands in the army would be either attracted and subdued or suppressed and divided, and had turned into a stream of loose sand and would never be used by the Gao family again.
He thought for a moment, and slowly took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve bag and handed it over, "This is the Requiem Pill. It is colorless and tasteless and melted when it encounters water. After taking this medicine, the body will gradually weaken and die in the middle of one month. No imperial physician can test it. Although the border victory is great, the army will immediately return to the court, but it will take at least two months for Li Xudong to arrive in the capital. We still have time. Go back and take the medicine to Li Jintian, and a total of fifteen pills will be 15 pills every two days. During these thirty days, I will contact someone as soon as possible to push Yan'er to succeed the throne, and then strangle the sixth prince with all the strength of the whole country. If he is still as strong as before, he will not be able to kill him, so he took Qi Xiujie as a hostage and forced him to commit suicide."
Gao Min's eyes showed struggle. The education he received since childhood made him unable to do something like regicide.
"What are you hesitating about? The current situation is either you die or I die. Don't forget that I still have hundreds of lives in the Qi family. With the importance of the Sixth Prince's attention to Qi Xiujie, I will definitely kill you and I and Yan'er to avenge Qi Xiujie." Gao Lang wanted to wake up his younger brother.
After hearing this, Gao Min gritted his teeth, took the porcelain bottle and left hastily.
The conversation between the two soon appeared on Zhou Yunsheng's desk, and he smiled intriguedly.
He had long anticipated the situation today.
Although the Qi family is powerful, the head of the Qi family is cautious, low-key and restrained, and is very good at judging the situation. He surrendered to King Xuan for the lives of the entire clan, and what he wanted was nothing but the word "stable". He was a man with no ambition. Gao Lang was just the opposite. He was paranoid, cruel, and ambitious. The more he was in adversity, the more he had to be on the head, and had great desire for power.
The information transmitted by 007 did not mention the specific situation after Li Xuyan ascended the throne, but if Li Xuyan was indeed a wise and decisive emperor, he would have to fight with his uncle to avoid the foreign relatives from becoming over.
As the youngest son, Gao Min has a firm side in his character, but he still cannot hide his weakness. At critical moments, he can never take it or let it go. He is indecisive in dealing with things and is easily bewitched. His weakness is the fifth prince. For the sake of the fifth prince, he can give up all his persistence and principles and do the most vicious things in the world.
Zhou Yunsheng mastered the dark side of everyone's character and then used it. The second dream was not fabricated on a whim, but a reflection of reality. Under Li Jintian's push, everyone would follow his steps to stand in the corresponding chess grid, thus forming today's situation.
Life is like a chess. Whether it is a crushing defeat or a big victory depends on your hands. This is exactly the greatest pleasure that Zhou Yunsheng likes to fight against the sky, against people, and against the main god.
7.12
The wolf cub was about to arrive in the capital, how could Zhou Yunsheng give Gao Min another month to prepare? Half a month later, he stewed a cup of chicken soup with a century-old ginseng and sent it to the Palace of Harmony.
Li Jintian was extremely suspicious, and there were special people responsible for tasting the things in his mouth. However, Reincarnation pills are chronic poisons and will not occur soon. They will be automatically removed after half a quarter of an hour of accumulation in the body. They cannot even detect silver needles, let alone try them. A month later, Li Jintian became ill and the toxicity had dissipated. Even the most experienced miracle doctor in Dayan could not diagnose abnormalities.
After lunch with Gao Min that day, he went to the imperial study room to handle government affairs. As soon as he picked up the brush, he suddenly felt a stir in his chest, and then a mouthful of black blood spurted out.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" The eunuch general manager was so scared that he was out of his mind and said in a trembling voice, "The color of this blood is extremely abnormal. Could it be that he was poisoned? Hurry up, go and pass it on to the imperial physician!"
"Don't say a word! I'll secretly look for Xu Yuan, so that no one can see it!" Li Jintian was the emperor after all, and understood the seriousness of this matter being known by outsiders. Before the truth is found out, you must not be alerted.
The eunuch general manager had not agreed, and the spy hidden in the hall took the order and left.
Xu Yuan was dressed as an eunuch and walked into the study. After kneeling down, he placed the emperor's hand on the piping pillow. After a moment, he shook his head, indicating that he could not find anything. It had been two quarters of an hour on the road, and the medicinal power of the Reunion Pill had long dissipated.
"Check this chicken soup." Li Jintian pointed to the soup pot on the table. The only abnormality in today's diet was the chicken soup sent by Zichen Palace. He didn't want to doubt Qi Xiujie, but he didn't know who had a more rift.
Xu Yuan had carefully examined it and said that a hundred-year-old ginseng was placed in the chicken soup, which was a great tonic, and it was only good for the body and was not harmful.
"The other dishes are all here, please continue to test them." Li Jintian leaned down dejectedly on the back of the chair. Except for this chicken soup from Zichen Palace, Gao Min personally took care of the other food. Either Qi Xiujie or Gao Min, the remaining guess made him burn all over the country, which was thousands of times more uncomfortable than swallowing the most poisonous poison.
If the Requiem Pill has not entered the human body, the toxicity can remain long when mixed in water or with other foods. Gao Min urges the attendants to dump the dishes as soon as possible every day, but somehow, when the eunuchs and general manager quietly went to the imperial kitchen, the leftovers were still placed in the food box.
After checking the steamed bass that the emperor loved to eat the most, the imperial physician was shocked and removed the chopsticks in his hand. The crisp sound of knocking came, causing Li Jintian to tremble violently for a moment. He gritted his teeth and asked word by word, "How?"
"Yes, it's this dish. Judging from the symptoms, it seems to be the Requiem Pill. Because the emperor accidentally used a century-old ginseng today, which inadvertently triggered the toxicity, he vomited blood. If he didn't use this old ginseng, he might not even notice the poisoning of himself in the end." The subtext is that you will die inexplicably.
With a specific suspect, the imperial physician pierced the emperor's fingertips, took a drop of blood and used a special fusion agent to check it. After a moment, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, so scared that he dared not speak.
Very well, I finally got to this point. This is the so-called fate arrangement? So what is God asking me to be reborn for? Perhaps it was to make me compensate for some people, but it was definitely not Gao Min. Li Jintian smiled bitterly for a while and said calmly, "Do I still save me?"
The imperial physician kept silent.
Li Jintian understood and asked a different question, "How many days can I live?"
If he was silent again, he would die. The imperial physician had to whisper, "Maybe, maybe there will be four or five days left, Your Majesty's body will be completely exhausted."
"Four or five days? So fast." Li Jintian sighed, but his mood was unexpectedly calm. He sent Xu Yuanzheng and secretly summoned his confidants who had been trained in three years into the palace one by one.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Five days later, the emperor suddenly had an emergency and couldn't even get out of bed. The situation seemed very critical. Gao Min and Gao Lang panicked after hearing the news, and shortened the preparation time for ten days, and they didn't have time to deploy many things.
I thought Li Jintian could delay it for a few more days, but I didn't expect that he seemed to have ambition to die, so I refused the imperial physician's medicine. Instead, he invited several cabinet elders, princes and their mothers and their mothers to the Palace of Yangxin, as if he wanted to explain his funeral.
Gao Min and the fifth prince knelt at the foot of the bed, and Qi Xiujie was kneeling beside the head of the bed, all the elders, princes, concubines, and servants knelt three meters away.
"I haven't had much time to do it. I will explain my funeral in front of everyone. Fushun, take paper and pen to record it for me."
Fushun was the eunuch general manager. After getting the order, he hurriedly took paper and pen and listened attentively.
"I am very affectionate with you. My husband and wife are deeply in love. I cannot bear to separate after death. I am buried with you for me. The so-called "I live in different lives and have a fur and a hole in my heart" is also considered as my pursuit of kindness and benevolence."
After saying that, he gasped and did not look at Gao Min, whose face turned pale.
"I am willing to be buried with you." Zhou Yunsheng kowtowed and spoke quietly, but it was not difficult to see his bitter grief with swollen eyes and trembling body.
"You give me a good life." Li Jintian smiled bitterly and waved his hand. At this point, this person was still so stupid. He failed to enjoy the honor he deserved in his previous life. In this life, he must live a glorious life for the rest of his life. This is the only compensation he can give him.
"I am willing to be buried with you." Zhou Yunsheng kowtowed again.
Li Jintian ignored it and continued, "My seventh emperor brother, King Li, never married a wife and concubine in his life, and was desolate. I felt really uneasy. I adopted the fifth prince to the emperor's brother, fulfill his filial piety for him, and I will take care of him for his old age and see him off."
Gao Min suddenly looked up at Long Bed, and his pale face turned completely blue. If the fifth prince hadn't pressed his shoulders tightly, he would have rushed up to fight against Li Jintian.
Adopting his son to King Li, is it false that his love for his son in daily life?
Li Jintian stopped gasping. Zhou Yunsheng kowtowed again and said he was willing to be buried with him.
