Chapter seven hundred and eighty fifth turned against each other
"Last Emperor..."
Li Xu was silent for a while and didn't say anything.
Lin Zhao carried his hands on his back and turned around and left.
"Look for a place to talk."
Li Xu turned around, looked at Lin Zhao's back, hesitated for a moment, and followed silently.
As early as the seventh year of Gande, the two of them met in Chang'an.
At that time, Li Xu was a noble son from Chang'an, and Lin Zhao was also a shop assistant. The identities between the two were very different.
Now, in a blink of an eye, ten years have passed, Li Xu has successfully transformed from Prince Song to His Highness of the King of Song, and Lin Zhao has also transformed into the King of Yue of the Great Zhou.
The earth is overturned.
Lin Zhao walked in front with his hands on his back, and soon the two of them left Chengtian Gate.
At this time, the Miyagi was jointly managed by the army of three governors, so the two were very safe.
It is not yet Mid-Autumn Festival, and the weather is still very hot, and it is early in the morning. When the two of them walked out of the Suzaku Gate, it was already dark.
At this time, a few of the vendors selling breakfast on Zhuque Street also started to set up stalls. Lin Zhao found a small stall selling noodles on the side of the road and sat down straight down.
Li Xu sat silently opposite Lin Zhao.
After asking for two portions of the face, His Highness Song looked at Lin Zhao and took a deep breath: "Your Majesty... What's going on?"
Lin Zhao lowered his head and took a mouthful of his face, lowered his head slightly: "Zhou Zhen should have told his senior brother that he was seriously injured and unconscious, and he had no idea about life and death."
Li Xu said "Oh", lowered his head and ate a bite of the dough, and did not speak anymore.
Lin Zhao looked at the somewhat haggard-like cripple sitting in front of him, shook his head slightly: "The hardest thing in life is to shoulder the responsibility that does not belong to him. It seems that the senior brother does not understand this principle."
"I'm a member of the Li family."
Li Xu put down the chopsticks in his hand and his voice was calm: "I was born with the surname Li, and I was born with the wealth of the Li family. When I grow up, I will naturally have to do something for the Li family."
"Not to mention... Should the Li family be the supreme in the world forever?"
Lin Sanlang said with a blank expression: "Even if I should, what I did to be sorry to the Li family, the Li family must kill me?"
Li Xu was stunned and speechless.
Lin Zhao smiled coldly: "It's probably because of me that I have become a threat to the rule of the Li family, right?"
"If you kill me, Wang Fu will have the final say. Then, through Wang Fu, he will help the prince to throne, and then assist the prince, join forces with Qi Shidao, slowly remove Wang Fu and let the authority return to the hands of the Li family, right?"
When Lin Zhao was assassinated by Wu Gong, he couldn't figure out how much he thought about it. He couldn't figure out why the emperor had attacked him. Until later, the matter slowly pointed to Li Xu. The emperor also proved that it was Li Xu's actions that Lin Zhao slowly understood the cause and effect of this matter.
Li Xu wants to represent the Li family and make the final struggle.
For the Li family, the emperor does not have to be Li Xun, as long as his surname is Li.
Therefore, for Li Xu, it is not necessary to be Li Xun on the throne, but Li Yan.
That's why he will have a series of subsequent actions.
Seeing Li Xu remained silent, Lin Sanlang sneered: "Senior brother is a good plan!"
"Kill me, unite with Wang Fu, let the prince upright, and then join forces with Qi Shidao to kill Wang Fu."
He looked at Li Xu and said slowly: "In the end, we will join forces with the emperor and kill Qi Shidao, who has been so powerful that he can dominate the Lord, right?"
Li Xu lowered his head again, took a sip of noodle soup, then looked up at Lin Zhao, lowered his eyebrows and said, "After Master Qi, I will also be very powerful."
His expression was calm.
"I will die, too."
"Until now, do you still think you are a loyal and loyal minister of the Li family, right?"
Lin Zhao looked at Li Xu coldly.
"Go to your mother!"
He couldn't help but curse, "In the end, as long as you work for your Li family, there will be no good ending!"
"There is no second ruler to the imperial power."
King Song had a expressionless face: "For the sake of the country, anyone who threatens the imperial power has a way to die."
"Did Kang Dongping threaten the imperial power?"
Lin Zhao looked at Li Xu with a sarcastic look on his face: "Senior brother, why didn't he kill Kang Dongping back then?!"
“I tried.”
Li Xu looked up at Lin Zhao.
"Otherwise, Sanlang thought how did the Guanzhong Rebel Army come from?"
After saying this, Li Xu stood up silently and bowed to Lin Zhao.
"Sanlang, this is because I can't stand you."
He took a deep breath and said, "But when we are in a different place, we might make the same choice."
Lin Zhao smiled disdainfully: "If I were you, the Guanzhong Rebel Army would sweep the world without any conspiracy."
Li Xu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Maybe."
He bowed to Lin Zhao and said earnestly: "You and my brothers have known each other for nearly ten years, and now they have become enemies... It is caused by the times, not what you and I want..."
He took a deep breath and bowed his head again to salute.
"The hatred has been settled, and things will be defeated in the future. Li Xu will die. I just hope you and me can..."
"The misfortune will not last for the wife and children."
Lin Zhao looked at Li Xu with a expressionless face.
"Okay, I'll answer you."
Li Xu bowed his head and bowed again, then turned around silently and limped away.
This Highness of the King of Song is actually begging for mercy.
Although what he said was mutual, the possibility of Lin Zhao's failure in this situation is very low. Li Xu's words mean that one day in the future, when the Song Prince's Mansion is destroyed, I hope Lin Zhao can let his family go.
As a royal family, being able to say this sentence means that the Li Dynasty...
The sun has already set.
Looking at Li Xu's back gradually fading away, Lin Zhao slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, feeling a little complicated.
He was thinking about what Li Xu said just now.
Will they make the same choice when they are free?
If he was Li Xu, without the memory of another world, without gunpowder and firearms, without any golden fingers, and relying solely on the vision and insight of this era, he...
Will it do better than Li Xu?
I'm afraid it's not easy...
Thinking of this, His Highness King Yue shook his head slightly, took out a row of copper coins from his sleeve and placed them on the table, paid the bill for Li Xu, and then turned around and left.
At the corner, the carriage from the Yue Palace had been waiting for a long time.
Lin Zhao got on the carriage and closed his eyes a little tired.
Zhao Cheng reached out and pulled the reins, turned around and asked, "Prince, where are you going?"
"go home."
Lin Zhao's voice was hoarse: "I'm tired."
Zhao Cheng responded, the carriage slowly moved, and returned to the Yue Palace.
At this time, Lin Zhao had not closed his eyes all night. After returning to the backyard of the Yue Palace, he turned around and told Zhao Cheng.
"Remember, let the Tongqian Guard closely monitor all the movements in Chang'an City and report any matters immediately."
Zhao Cheng responded, lowered his head and said, "I understand."
Lin Zhao lowered his head and thought for a while, and continued, "You must also keep an eye on the situation in the palace..."
The so-called situation in the palace, to put it bluntly, is the emperor dead or not.
Zhao Cheng bowed his head again: "I understand."
Lin Zhao reached out and patted Zhao Cheng on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, you go and do your business, I'll sleep for a while."
Zhao Cheng nodded and turned around.
Lin Zhao returned to his bedroom.
In the bedroom, Cui Zhiqing had already gotten up and was sitting behind the desk reading.
Seeing Lin Zhao coming back, Cui Zhiqing stood up, walked slowly towards Lin Zhao, and asked, "Husband, what happened? You haven't come back all night..."
Lin Zhao helped her sit back on the chair and shook her head.
"Nothing big, probably..."
