Chapter 359 Tell the truth

"You two are here, the third brother, bring a stool for Ah Hai." Li Mingxun called his youngest son.

Li Junwei gave his chair to Li Hai, looked around and found that the terrace was extremely empty, and he didn't know where to move the stool, so he simply brought the small table where fruits were placed and sat on it, feeling very comfortable.

"Jun Hong, do you know what's happening in India?" Li Mingxun asked.

Lin Junhong glanced at the emperor, but the emperor didn't say anything, and then looked at Li Junwei, but Li Junwei said, "Look at what I do, say whatever I know."

Lin Junhong then said, "I heard that Zhao Yi was going to come to Beijing, but I turned back halfway, and the rest was not clear."

"Okay, you've kept it a secret and didn't tell anyone." Li Mingxun pointed at his youngest son and said dissatisfied.

Li Hai made a smooth move and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, what do you mean? Let's say slowly. The third assistant has been in charge of state affairs for so many years and has always cooperated properly with the emperor and has never been blushing. Even if he is wrong, where can he go?"

Li Junwei heard this and said, "That's right, I was so stupid when I was a child, you didn't teach me. Now I'm almost fifty. You're just teaching me a lesson. It's too late."

"Then you say it yourself, what are you doing!" Li Mingxun said when he saw his son's indifferent look.

Li Junwei picked up the apple he placed on the ground, chewed it, his face remained calm, and said, "Just say it, what am I afraid of?"

"Even if you are not afraid of me, you have to care about your father's body." Li Junhua reminded him that he didn't know what happened, but he knew that his younger brother was just playing a bastard and he didn't care about it. The Supreme Emperor was over 90 years old, but he couldn't stand the tossing.

Li Junwei smiled and said, "Old man... Dad won't be angry. He has known some things for a long time and guessed some things for a long time. Otherwise, he wouldn't have called all the people in charge of the family to criticize me."

"Then just say it, it's all my own family and I won't do anything to you." Li Hai said with a smile, setting a tone for this matter in advance.

Li Junwei threw the apple core and said, "Actually, the emperor, Brother Cheng and Brother Jun Hong don't know. Dad knows that Li Zhaoyi, the auxiliary king of India, is not the eldest brother's son."

"Zhao Yi is not Jundu's son? How do you know this?" As soon as Li Junwei said this, the three of them were shocked and could not believe it.

Li Junwei said: "How could I not know, because Li Zhaoyi is my son."

"Why are you your son again!" Li Junhua felt incredible.

Li Junwei did not hide it at all, and said it like a bamboo tube pouring beans: "The emperor sent me to the west to deal with the affairs of the river. You also know that when I was young, I was a little indulged, and my elder brother caught this weakness. He arranged a Hu woman, which should be a Persian woman by my side, and said that she had stopped giving birth.

Of course, I arranged a lot of them. I didn't know it was a condom, so I got in. When the Western Expedition was over and I went to India, my elder brother showed up with me and said that the Persian woman gave birth to a son for me, Li Zhaoyi.

He swore faithfully at that time that there was this evidence, and I didn't go to verify that evidence."

"Why don't you ask for verification? The royal bloodline must be safe!" Li Hai, who was confused at the beginning, was furious.

Li Junwei spread his hands and said without caring: "What's the point of proof? The woman died. The so-called evidence is all about eunuchs, nurses, etc. If the elder brother carefully arranges it, it's not true. Besides, I don't care whether Zhao Yi is my son or not. Anyway, he has not been born in front of me, and he will not grow up with me anyway. I am a man, not a woman who is pregnant for ten months. This unfamiliar child, even if it's my blood, what does it have to do with me!"

"Listen, is this dog talking about humans?" Li Mingxun hit the ground with a crutch.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry. The third brother has been so stupid since childhood. He is sincere to us..." Lin Junhong stepped forward and comforted Li Mingxun.

Li Junwei said: "Brother just used a trick to use this child to hold me and let me speak to him in the court in the future. If I want to care about that child, wouldn't it harm the public and the private sector? For the sake of the court, I can't feel at ease.

After returning to Beijing, I told the Empress Dowager first, and the Empress Dowager also said not to be arrogant, so don’t be arrogant. Later, Zhaoyu and Zhaocheng were born, and the old man only knew about it, but the matter was already a foregone conclusion. So what if he knew it.”

Li Junhua was quite moved when he heard this. Although he knew that his younger brother was a little bit cold-hearted, after all, he was also thinking about the empire. If he was taken to a handle, perhaps the empire's restrictions on Hindustan would not work like this. For the empire's sake, it was just thinking about himself, the emperor.

Although Li Junwei has helped many elder brothers openly and secretly over the years, when the elder brother went south to seize the country of India, it was Li Junwei who personally helped him guard the retreat. After being crowned and ascended the throne, Li Junwei went to personally and admitted on behalf of the empire. Li Junwei was critically ill, and Li Junwei risked the crime of wielding troops to raise troops to India, helping his eldest son Zhaogui to stabilize the country, and let the elder brother's last expansion be successfully swallowed up.

But Li Junhua knew that his younger brother had never been equal. Compared with his support for him over the years, the help he helped his elder brother was really worth mentioning. Moreover, although Li Junwei was not particular about the details of his work, he was very particular about tension and had never hurt the core interests of the empire.

For example, Li Jundu's last expansion during his lifetime was to attack the Mughal Empire. Although he eventually swallowed up a large area of ​​the upper and middle reaches of the Ganges Basin, the empire did not consume a single army and bomb, and preserved the Mughal Empire and maintained the three-legged situation of the subcontinent. Whether it was the remaining Mughal Empire or the Hindustan Empire, which replaced the monarch, he later showed friendship with the empire and trade with the empire increased explosively.

In fact, Li Junwei's move was to seek the most benefits for the empire at the lowest cost.

"Father, this is all a thing from the past. Although we are hiding it from us, there is nothing wrong with it. My elder brother went there and I loved Zhao Yi very much during his lifetime. Zhao Yi's relatives and bloodlines belongs to the elder brother's. This is also a joy to everyone. Why talk about the old things again?" Li Junhuakuan explained.

He also realized that he had been wrong. Although what he was talking about today is also a big secret, it is definitely not the secret he always wanted to know.

"Yes, yes, what the emperor said is that a third man is so stupid, he has only done such a wrong thing in his life. It is rare for him." Li Hai said quickly.

Lin Junhong also said: "Yes, this is not a big deal, right?"

In fact, all three of them felt that if they were told, there should be no more changes.

Li Zhaoyi is the son of Li Junwei, the eldest son of Prince Yu's mansion, but the eldest son is not the legitimate son after all. In fact, the royal family doesn't care much about the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate, but the problem is that Li Zhaoyi has Persian blood, which is the big problem.

King Li Zhaoying of the British King had half of the blood of the Yarkand, and was also quite controversial when he was a teenager. It was not until the Yarkand surrendered to the empire that the Yarkand clan became a member of the imperial ethnic family, which was considered a bad thing to become a good thing.

But Li Zhaoyi is of Persian blood. Could it be that the empire will annex another Persian empire with a population of 6 million?

Li Hai pointed to the crutch in Li Mingxun's hand and said, "I've told you this today. You're always angry, so I beat him with a stick. Speaking of which, it's not a glorious thing, so why not stop here. Your Majesty, what do you think?"

"Brother Wang said very much. Father, the third brother has been expanding territory for the empire outside and working with Jun Hong to shelter his son from the wind and rain because he has taken the lead. On weekdays, others say that the third brother is not, and that his son is kind and righteous, but in fact, he has made the third brother bear the bad reputation.

If this matter is made public, those who are usually splashing dirty water should not go to heaven? Furthermore, Zhao Yi is the assistant king of India. If his bloodline is suspected, it may have an adverse impact on the relationship between the two countries. Why not forget it, you can punish him..." Li Junhua directly expressed his attitude.

In the emperor's opinion, this is nothing big. His younger brother is not tolerant.

Li Mingxun knocked on the ground with a crutch and said, "Zhaoyi is his son, but he was raised by the eldest son. He has not suffered much since childhood. Originally, I didn't want to mention the old things again. The two of them didn't recognize each other, and each assisted their brothers, and each had their own good things. Many good things,

But this bastard......ahem..."

Li Mingxun said, coughing, throwing away the tea sent by Lin Junhong, and continuing: "This bastard doesn't want to live in peace, you have to cause more trouble."

Seeing that his father was really angry, Li Junhua looked at Li Junwei again, and he became honest at this time. He thought that there must be a follow-up. Li Junhua asked, "What else do you have? Let's not tell me?"

"This bastard, I want to recognize Zhaoyi back!" Li Mingxun said angrily when he saw that his youngest son did not speak.

Li Junwei said: "I haven't done it yet, I haven't even had a single horoscope..."

"You're still doing it? Don't even think about it." Li Mingxun scolded.

Li Hai was puzzled and asked, "Third brother, you are looking for trouble. Why? Why do you recognize me and come back?"

Lin Junhong quietly pushed Li Hai. Although both of them were imperial royal families, Li Hai was actually his cousin and the two families were very close. Because Lin Junhong realized one possibility, that is, it was related to the throne, otherwise why did the Supreme Emperor suddenly force Prince Yu to adopt his youngest son to the emperor?

Speaking of which, among the children of Prince Yu’s Mansion, there are many outstanding people, including the brothers Li Zhaoyu and Li Zhaocheng, each with extraordinary features. But the problem is that their fathers are so shining. Compared with their fathers, the extraordinaryness of these two brothers is simply not worth mentioning.

Although it is also related to the lack of opportunity performance, the facts are there.

On the contrary, Li Junwei's eldest son Li Zhaoyi was a pillar of the Hindustan Empire, taking charge of the government as the king of governors. He showed outstanding talents in both governing the country and leading troops, and his two younger brothers were incomparable to him.

In a trance, Lin Junhong felt that the emperor had no descendants. If he could recognize such an outstanding child, perhaps the third generation of the empire would still be the hero.

But Li Hai thought much longer than his cousin. In his opinion, he could not compete for the throne even if he recognized it. How could a lord of a feudal dynasty be a constitutional emperor? Moreover, Li Zhaoyi and the others have heard of it, and they are like a young version of Li Junde, who is decisive in killing.

In an empire that emphasizes law and fairness, such people are full of shortcomings. Not to mention competing for reserve positions, they cannot even interfere in government affairs. Li Junwei only does not follow political rules when doing things, but he is relaxed and respects the law even more.

Li Junhua looked at his younger brother and was suspicious. He believed that this possibility did not exist. Because the two brothers were quite open about the issue of the throne. If Li Junwei had this idea, he would definitely say hello to him, the emperor in advance.

After thinking about it carefully, no matter how you recognize Li Zhaoyi, it is a fool no matter how you look at it, thankless and not good at both public and private.

What kind of personality is King Yu? Li Junhua knows too well. Taking advantage of less is considered a loss. How could a person do stupid things?

Li Junwei didn't speak, and he had no other behavior as a bachelor just now. Seeing his three nephews looking at each other, Li Mingxun said, "Don't you three understand? This bastard is selfish in order to protect his elder brother's country. He will not hesitate to fill in himself and destroy the diplomatic relations between the two countries."

"Where does this go with it?" Li Hai shook his head, and after all, he still didn't understand the logical relationship inside.

Lin Junhong was not his cousin who had never taken things for a long time because of his age. After hearing the Emperor's words, he understood a little bit and glanced at the Emperor. The Emperor seemed to understand a little. Lin Junhong coughed lightly and said, "I haven't heard that Zhao Yi has made an act of usurpation in India. After the eldest brother went, Zhao Yi kept assisting Zhao Gui, just like the third brother treating the emperor."

Li Junwei snorted coldly when he heard this: "You think they are friendly and respectful, but I don't think so. Who is the eldest brother? I know again. He was critically ill at the time and made Zhaogui the successor. To put it bluntly, Zhao Yi was young and could not be on the throne regardless of the orthodox law or the comparison of strength.

My elder brother knew my mind even more. If he established Zhaoyi, I would also support Zhaogui as the emperor. So I took retreat as advance, saying that Zhaoyi was asking Zhaogui to assist Zhaogui, but in fact, it was to allow him to accumulate strength and seize the throne in the future.

If the eldest brother only loved Zhao Yi, why should he give him real power? In India at that time, he could have been crowned kings and established a country on his own. Or he would have given him good land and beautiful houses and become a wealthy prince. Instead, he asked Zhao Yi to support Zhao Gui as the emperor, just to be wronged and survive in order to wait for the future.

Now Zhao Yi has monopolized the power and the second emperor who deserves his name. If this continues, Zhao Gui will be in danger. I don’t care about others taking over the eldest brother’s foundation, but my son cannot do it.”

"No, Zhaoyi is your bloodline. How could the elder brother intend to establish him?"

"It doesn't matter whether it is intentional or not. Anyway, Zhao Yi threatens Zhao Gui's throne, so that won't work." Li Junwei said decisively.

"That's Zhao Gui's problem, not yours!" Lee Mingxun said angrily.

Li Junwei was not outdone at all: "Who asked you to teach him the way of benevolence and loving the people since childhood? He could be Qianlong, but he had to be Yongzheng. If I do not care about it, he would really die!"
