MTL - The Human Emperor-Chapter 27 See you brothers!
"Hoof!"
Accompanied by a sound of clanging armor, a sound of horseshoes suddenly sounded in the Datang Palace.
The Datang Palace is the residence of the emperor. Generally speaking, all soldiers entering the palace are not allowed to wear any armor unless the sage permits them, except for the forbidden army guarding the palace. And riding a war horse to run in the palace is even more expressly prohibited, otherwise it will be regarded as disrespect to the present.
But at this moment, I saw that at the forefront of the team, the man in a fierce cloak, wearing a silver armor, like a **** of war, riding a war horse galloping in the imperial city, the forbidden army guarding both sides of the city wall did not have anyone on board. They stopped before, but when the figure passed by, they all bowed and looked respectful.
I saw the figure on horseback, about twenty-six or seventeen years old, magnificent, exuberant, and radiant, like a **** descending from the sky, exuding a mighty power like a prison, making people involuntarily want to surrender.
It is the Great Prince of Tang Dynasty, Li Xuantu!
At the same time, he is also the prince of the entire Datang, the future true dragon emperor!
More than ten years of military experience has made Li Xuantu inadvertently exuding a mountain-like aura, which is uncontrollable.
"His Royal Highness, the middle door is in front."
At this moment, behind Li Xuantu, a burly, mighty and mighty general spoke.
On this trip to the palace, Li Xuantu first went to the Taiji Hall to face the saint.
Although they are still Li Xuantu's confidant generals, the central gate is the center of the palace and has a special status. Once they are here, they can no longer enter.
"Ok."
Li Xuantu nodded slightly, and quickly rode forward, but only a few feet away, his eyes passed in the distance inadvertently, and Li Xuantu's thick sword eyebrows rose sharply.
Behind him, many generals almost simultaneously noticed two more figures in the distance.
"This is..., the second prince and the fourth prince?"
In the distance, in front of the middle gate, the second prince Li Chengyi and the fourth prince Li Longfan stood there, seemingly waiting a long time.
The two of them looked at the eldest prince Li Xuantu in the distance, a little hesitating, but more fearful.
"Brother Dahuang is here."
Li Longfan said in a low voice.
Although he had already made up his mind, Li Longfan could not restrain the instinctive fear deep in his heart.
Although both princes, the light on Li Xuantu, the great prince, was too dazzling. In front of this shining prince, all the princes were covered with light and eclipsed.
"The arrow is on the string, and I have to send it. There is no kindness in the depths of the palace. Think about it, the third brother has risen. Does he know the things we did before and will easily let us go?"
The second prince Li Chengyi pushed Li Longfan next to him and urged.
"It's you!"
Accompanied by the sound of hoofs, a voice indifferent and high, suddenly sounded in the ears of the two of them.
The two of them shook all over and raised their heads, only to realize that Li Xuantu had appeared in front of them without knowing when. His expression was cold, his upright figure was like a mountain, and the shadow he cast enveloped the two of them, making the two of them feel a strong pressure.
Only in a moment, even the second prince Li Chengyi became a little unnatural.
"Cheng Yi has seen Big Brother!"
"Long Fan pays homage to Big Brother!"
The two of them bowed their heads and hurriedly saluted, not daring to let out the atmosphere.
Since childhood, the strength of the eldest prince Li Xuantu has long been imprinted into the depths of their souls.
"Nothing to show your courtesy, you are here specially, shouldn't it be just greetings?"
Armor Qiangqiang, Li Xuantu was condescending, overlooking the two, indifferent, that sharp gaze seemed to penetrate the depths of their souls, and they had already understood all their conspiracies.
The two of them looked suffocated, and their bodies couldn't help but tremble.
Only Li Xuantu's expression remained as usual, without a slight change.
Generally speaking, when the prince returns from an expedition, he needs to meet with Emperor Tang first.
If Li Chengyi and Li Longfan simply want to see him, the following night banquet and various palace gatherings may be opportunities.
The two of them waited here early, obviously their purpose was not simple.
"I know I can't hide it from Brother Emperor!"
Li Chengyi and Li Longfan glanced at each other and finally admitted.
"If you have something to say, I have to go to see the emperor."
Li Xuantu's expression didn't make any waves, and after squinting at Li Chengyi, he spoke calmly.
This kind of thing, he had already taken care of it in the palace.
After all, Li Xuantu didn't squint, and quickly stepped over the two of them and entered the palace to remove their armor. It looked like Li Chengyi and Li Longfan were not there at all.
Seeing this scene, Li Chengyi's eyes could not help but become gloomy.
As the great prince, Li Xuantu is outstanding in the art of war, martial arts, Taoism, literary rule, government of officials, etc., reading and practicing is also twice the result with half the effort. He makes a lot of things in a day, far beyond other princes. Not as good.
It is precisely because of this that Li Xuantu has an arrogant personality and looks superior in everything.
"Since the emperor is in a hurry, the courtiers won't be oblivious."
Soon, when Li Xuantu turned to face him, Li Chengyi immediately recovered his expression and smiled.
"Brother Dahuang should know about the third brother, right?"
When Li Chengyi spoke, his gaze kept staring at Li Xuantu, but Li Xuantu was still the same as before.
He even ignored Li Chengyi's question, as if he hadn't heard it.
For a while, the atmosphere solidified a bit.
Li Longfan looked at him and Li Chengyi couldn't help but frowned slightly. The response of the eldest prince was obviously different from what they expected.
Soon, Li Chengyi recovered his expression and continued:
"It's a ignorant brother. In the eyes of the emperor, the third brother should still be the arrogant prince at the beginning. The emperor is different from us. Your father has officially canonized you as the prince, the true dragon in the future. These things must be inaccessible. The emperor's eyes."
Speaking of the last sentence, Li Chengyi paused for a while before speaking slowly, his tone meant.
"what do you want to say in the end?"
Li Xuantu put on his coat and raised his chin slightly, looking at Li Chengyi with a solemn expression.
"The ministers and brothers have been dealing with things in the palace for the eldest brother these days. Although they are not as good as the emperor brother, they are still organized and will not shame the father and the eldest brother. The emperor will naturally have to return these to the emperor when he returns to Beijing. ..., the courtier worried that the emperor's brother was broad-minded and didn't put the people who should be valued in his eyes."
Li Chengyi lowered his head and said:
"The third brother's temperament has changed drastically, and if the emperor brother still underestimates him as before..., the courtier is worried that the emperor brother will fall."
Having said that, Li Chengyi secretly raised his head and glanced at the eldest prince, only to find that the latter was still calm and unmoved, and suddenly his expression became stiff, knowing that the prince's eyes were torch and his mind was calm, and he was definitely not able to speak in a few words.
For the intrigue in the palace, the eldest prince obviously knew everything well.
But just for a moment, Li Chengyi returned to normal, seemingly inadvertently said:
"In addition, I heard that in the Taiji Hall, Empress Dou De is going more and more diligent..."
"Om!"
With just a word, the unmoved prince Li Xuantu's pupils shrank, and his face suddenly changed.
"Did you finish?"
"After that, I should go to the father in front of me!"
Li Xuantu said coldly, and quickly returned to normal. With a flick of his sleeves, he ignored the two of them, went straight through the middle door, and disappeared in the direction of the Taiji Hall.
"Second brother, this—"
The fourth prince, Li Longfan, stood there blankly, looking at Li Chengyi subconsciously.
After finally waiting for Brother Da Huang to return to the palace, the two originally wanted to use him to deal with Li Taiyi, but now it seems that they have clearly failed.
Li Xuantu obviously didn't care much about what the two said.
Li Chengyi didn't speak, but also frowned, as if thinking about something.
But just for a moment, Li Chengyi turned his head and looked at the direction where the eldest prince Li Xuantu was leaving, suddenly a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as if he was holding a winning ticket.
"Don't worry, he listened. Although the emperor did not care, I know that the less he cares on his face, the more he cares in his heart."
"Let's go, there are other things waiting for us."
After speaking, Li Chengyi sneered and walked away.
And the fourth prince Li Longfan just hesitated for a while, and soon followed.
...
Behind them, Li Chengyi and Li Longfan had already left and disappeared.
But Li Xuantu, wearing a gown, quickly withdrew his consciousness from a distance, his expression quickly gloomy.
"Manny Dou De——"
Li Xuantu instinctively remembered that figure in the flash of light.
He is the Prince of Tang Dynasty, the future true dragon emperor, and at the same time the true destiny, the proud son of heaven.
Li Chengyi and Li Longfan made a fuss in front of him. With a few words, they wanted to provoke him to deal with Li Taiyi. They really thought too much and overestimated their own abilities.
A third brother couldn't enter his eyes.
But there is one thing, the two are right--
Li Taiyi has an advantage he doesn't have, and that is Empress Dou De.
Unlike Li Taiyi, although Li Xuantu was born rich and wealthy, he was a direct descendant, and was favored by the Emperor Tang, but his mother and concubine died young since he was young, and no one can speak in front of the Emperor Tang.
He can have today's status entirely because of his own efforts, step by step.
For Li Xuantu, this is the eternal pain in his heart.
In contrast, Li Taiyi is completely different.
Among the concubines in the harem, Emperor Tang's favor for Empress Dou De far exceeds other concubines.
The three princes were stubborn by nature and did all kinds of ridiculous things that even Li Xuantu had heard of and despised him, but because of the daughter of Dou De, everything was turned into nothing.
Moreover, there have been rumors in the palace that the Emperor Tang was lucky enough to favor Empress Dou De, and he had long deliberately named her as the queen to replace Li Xuantu's birth mother.
——As long as the Empress Dou De is there, his position in the palace is far from that stable.
Throughout the ages, because of this kind of ear light, it is not rare that the crown prince was finally deposed.
Perhaps Li Chengyi and Li Longfan were right, and they should pay attention to this third brother!
"Your Highness, Your Highness..., Your Majesty is already waiting inside."
At this moment, a familiar voice came from his ears, Li Xuantu's expression moved slightly, and he saw Grandpa Li standing on top of Bai Yudan.
"I'm going over."
Li Xuantu quickly recovered and strode towards the Tai Chi Hall in front.
...
After half an hour, he came out from the Taiji Hall,
Li Xuantu stood on the white jade pill, with a stiff body, looking at the huge palace in front of him, he didn't know what he thought of, his eyes showed a look of memories.
And soon, as Li Xuantu's eyes flashed, he immediately walked along the Baiyu Danchi towards the East Palace.
But Li Xuantu had just walked halfway, and a familiar figure immediately appeared at the bottom of Bai Yudanchi.
Just a glance, Li Xuantu immediately raised his eyebrows.
In the distance, almost at the same time, Li Taiyi also saw the eldest prince Li Xuantu on Bai Yudanqi, and his heart suddenly jumped:
"Brother Dahuang? How could it be him!"
