Volume 1, The Blue Shirts, Chapter 4: In the early morning, please decree and throw blood
"Your Highness! Your Highness!"
Early in the morning, Li Chen was practicing in the back garden. Xiao Qi hurriedly came over and said, "There is news from the palace that the Sixth Prince was assassinated last night and is dead. The eunuch who brought the news said that you should come to the palace as soon as possible."
.I estimate that those princes should also have received the news."
Li Chen nodded.
Showering and changing clothes, the nine-foot-tall man with a jade belt close to his body looks so dignified and so good that even a man can't help but admire his good skin even if he takes a look at it.
Not long after, Li Chen's carriage was getting closer and closer to the imperial city. From a distance, he saw a dozen princes gathering at the door, but no one went in. They were gathered in a pile in twos and threes, with several father-in-laws standing around them.
In the carriage, Xiao Qi lowered his voice and said: "Your Highness, the situation in the palace is not clear now. You might as well go over and listen to a few words."
The death of the emperor's son is definitely a big deal even if the emperor has many heirs. But looking at the current situation, except for a few people within a small area, there is no sign of the news spreading.
The only person who can suppress such big news is His Majesty Li Tang.
Li Chen just shook his head, "Just drive in."
In fact, these people noticed it from the moment Li Chen's carriage appeared. Seeing Li Chen's carriage rushing in without any intention of stopping, everyone was a little surprised.
"Our ninth brother is quite reckless." Someone laughed.
"After all, he is a countryman." These were the words of the eleventh prince.
No one agreed, but a few people nodded imperceptibly. In the eyes of these princes, Li Chen, who suddenly appeared ten years ago, was indeed not of serious royal blood. Compared with them, he was as lowly as
Heaven and earth.
Finally, the group of people entered the palace in twos and threes.
Everyone stood and waited in the hall for an hour before Li Tang, the current emperor of the Holy Dynasty, walked in.
Bang bang bang! The incense burner in front of the long table was smashed to the ground first, and then the long table was overturned.
"waste!"
The hall was full of scoldings, mercilessly. The emperor's spit flew for half an hour, and several timid princes were already trembling, fearing that they would be singled out for something.
Although the emperor did not mention anything about the sixth prince during the whole process, the princes who had received the news early certainly knew why.
"Everyone, you will be fined for half a year starting today! If I hear that someone is causing trouble again, I will go to the Overwatch Council myself to be punished!"
The last sentence finally settled today's events. The group of people felt at ease. Compared with the death of a prince, half a year's salary was a small punishment. Although everyone knew that this matter was not over yet.
, but at least next time, it won’t be an obvious thing.
Li Chen lowered his eyelids and looked at the ground.
I knew in my heart that my father was not in this state because of the death of the Sixth Prince. When His Majesty came to the throne, he killed several of his brothers on various charges, not to mention a man who had never been born since he was a child.
The sixth prince whom I have met several times.
With things like this now, the emperor probably felt that it would not look good if this kind of thing spread out, and it would bring shame on the royal family. After all, everyone could guess that the death of the sixth prince was closely related to the other princes.
After another long while, in the solemn atmosphere where no one dared to say a word, the emperor said: "There's nothing wrong, just step back."
"Father." Li Chen took a step forward.
Li Tang looked over. He didn't have a deep impression of this son. After all, he came back from the folk world to recognize his ancestors at the age of seven or eight. How could he compare to those who grew up in small palaces? Now Li Chen came forward, Li Tang
He frowned.
Li Chen said: "My son, I requested an order to go to Yunmo Mountain."
As soon as the words "Yunmo Mountain" came out, the other princes seemed to be shocked. Even the eldest prince, who had always been silent, couldn't help but raise his head.
The emperor remained calm and stared at Li Chen, "Do you know that Yunmo Mountain has a narrow escape from death? There are endless monsters at the foot of the mountain, and how many soldiers die there every year?"
Li Chen said: "I know that Yunmo Mountain is the barrier of our holy dynasty's millennium foundation. Every year, countless loyal bones are buried under the mountain for the stability of our human race's holy dynasty. While I feel sad in my heart, I am also willing to work for the holy dynasty.
Taiping is full of enthusiasm! I hope that my father, the emperor, will go to the Yunmo Mountain to defeat the powerful enemy with the people of my holy dynasty!"
The hall was quiet for a long time. The emperor nodded and said, "It's a good thing that you have such a heart. In three days, when you come to the palace, I will give you a banquet to see you off."
Li Chen stepped back and bowed, "My son, take the order!"
Half an hour later, all the princes left the imperial city together and gathered together to chat about the scene just now.
Li Chen had no intention of chatting with them and took Xiao Qi to the front.
Behind him, the fourth prince glanced at the other princes and asked: "Second brother, third brother, what do you think of ninth brother's trip to Yunmo Mountain?"
The second prince and the third prince did not say anything.
The eleventh prince stood up first, "I'm afraid he's crazy because he wants to be in that position. In a place like Yunmo Mountain, even the world-famous Spear Saint has been seriously injured several times, and it will be even worse if he goes there."
There is no life in death.”
"My father agreed to let him go to Yunmo Mountain because he thought that sending a prince there would boost the morale of the soldiers in Yunmo Mountain. What effect would it really have? If he can't come back, it will be the best for his reputation and reputation.
The biggest effect is, does he think he can compete with the rest of us after going to Yunmo Mountain? A prince who came back from the countryside to recognize his ancestors would not even be qualified to stand in the palace unless his father was kind and kind."
His words were not meant to be concealed at all, and they could be heard clearly even from dozens of meters away.
The few guards who were following him kept their heads lowered, as if they had become deaf. Everyone knew that the eleventh prince was the most favored by His Majesty, and since he was still young, he was the only one who dared to say these words.
But he saw Li Chen, who was already walking in front, stopped, turned around, and walked back again.
The eleventh prince didn't pay much attention to the ninth brother who came from the country. When he saw Li Chen coming back, although his words stopped, his eyes still looked at him provocatively.
Li Chen came over, looked down at the half-grown child, and without saying a word, he suddenly raised his hand and swung it up.
The eleventh prince fell to the ground with a thud, without even humming, and immediately passed out.
The crisp sound of slaps echoed throughout the long street, and everyone present was stunned.
These brothers, even though they had done a lot of dirty things in the past, they only did it secretly, and no one had ever dared to do it in public.
Crazy. Several people have made final judgments about Li Chen.
"Ninth brother."
After a while, the second prince stepped forward and said with a smile: "Yunmo Mountain is very dangerous. Remember to bring more guards."
The killer Li Chen sent back yesterday had already brought the news to him, so he and Li Chen had already known each other for a long time, and there was no need for the two of them to make excuses at this time.
Li Chen smiled and said: "Second brother, you are worrying too much. This time I am going to Yunmo Mountain. Although I have traveled three thousand miles, I don't plan to bring any guards."
As he spoke, he took the satin handed over by Xiao Qi and wiped his hands, then looked around at the other princes, with only indifference and fearless indifference in his eyes, "Go back home."
It wasn't until Li Chen walked away that someone whispered: "How dare he be so domineering?"
The second prince glanced at him and said, "If you are going to Yunmo Mountain to die in three days, you can be so domineering."
Before getting in the car, Li Chen looked back at the tall city walls and the guards in the solemn shadows.
This place seems so heavy that even the wind moves lightly and dare not make a sound.
He chuckled, "Our Majesty is really ruthless."
At nightfall on this day, the news that the Ninth Prince Li Chen would go to Yunmo Mountain to guard and protect the world's peace spread throughout the capital.
Everyone praises today's family for their benevolence and righteousness, and are willing to let their own sons take risks for the sake of the people of the world.
The news of the sixth prince's death seemed to make no waves.
