Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 947;
Chapter 890: Monarch and minister ~ brother

Qin Qiong supported the couch with both hands;
"Your Majesty is here, and the minister is far away to welcome you!"

"Don't talk too much, how many years have we been brothers? There is no need for these red tapes."

Li Shimin turned his head and told the people in the room;

"Stand back, I have some private conversations with the general."

"only!"

The sickly Qin Qiong was propping up the couch with his right hand, and the murderous aura was all over him, from the inside out;

"Pass down the order, no one is allowed within ten steps, and those who disobey the order will be killed without mercy!"

The steward who walked at the end turned around immediately after hearing the military order;
"Order!"

After everyone retreated, the two monarchs and ministers began to talk about serious things, from the factional struggles in the court to the comings and goings of the Ministry of Finance, and talking about the family's injustice, and the marriage with the prince and princess...

In short, what Li Shimin means is that the current situation does not dare to be careless, you should quickly take care of yourself and go to the barracks to sit in command...

Not only did Qin Qiong not answer, but she said something abruptly;
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can no longer serve Your Majesty."

Li Shimin patted the back of Qin Qiong's hand with concern;

"Don't worry about Shubao, take some bitter medicine to recuperate your body, it's not a big deal."

Qin Qiong shook her head;

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, but the minister's body, I know in my heart, if it wasn't for the various herbs that Yu'er bought at a high price in the past few years, and I invited capable people from the Taoist school to help,
I'm afraid the minister has already gone, and these few years can be regarded as the years I picked up...Since last year, the minister's body has been deteriorating, and the past two months have become more and more heavy. Five days ago, I couldn't get out of the bed..."

Li Shimin was also a little embarrassed. He regarded him as his own son's nephew, and he was relegated to Lingnan to suffer hardships, and he even took his own son along with him!

Only Qin Qiong, his wife, and a bunch of servants were left in the General's Mansion. The bustling scenes of the past disappeared, and the deserted house was deserted, and the bustle of the past was no longer there.

The general was not happy in his heart, his heart attack was worse than his body, but as a courtier, he couldn't say much, so he could only hold back the pain in his heart.

That's why... the general's health is getting worse and worse. It can be said that Qin Qiong's condition is serious, and the culprit... is himself, the emperor.

"Just take it easy, Shubao, don't think about anything else."

This time Qin Qiong did not obey Li Shimin's words.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the barracks for a long time to be a director. The two guards of the northern and southern yamen, and the military power seal of Zuo Wuwei, I should return to your majesty."

"Qin Qiong took out three complete Tiger Talismans from his bosom while talking."

Looking at the three complete tiger talismans in the general's hand, Li Shimin felt mixed feelings.

Outsiders have been speculating that the tiger talismans of the three guards are all in Qin Shubao's hands. It is true, and it is not half, but complete, and can mobilize more than 3 elite troops at any time.

Killing Qin Qiong, this is not called for nothing, Qin Qiong has always been low-key, the title is not high, and the position is not prominent, but Qin Qiong's murderous intent, killing intent, has always been very aggressive.

One of the reasons is that he has always controlled the power to come and go of [-] elites!Complete military power!

Li Shimin didn't accept it, and he didn't dare to accept it. Li Shimin knew that the consequences of accepting it would be very serious. If the military power of the three guards is released, all factions will go crazy.

Not to mention other factions, even those civil and military ministers of Prince Qin's mansion will be jealous...

"Shubao, we are not monarchs and ministers now, you still treat me as a brother like you did back then, let's talk about brothers, don't make official articles, how many years do you think we have been in love with each other?"

Li Shimin was talking, and put the pillow under Qin Qiong's neck.

Qin Qiong thought about it carefully, then shook her head again;
"I can't remember clearly either. I just remember that year, you invited me to drink and talked about major events in the world. I was so excited when you talked about it. We brothers talked all night."

Seeing Qin Qiong's recalled expression, Li Shimin gently clenched Qin Qiong's hand holding the tiger talisman, and then pushed it back.

"Yeah, that night I had a chat with you over wine and discussed the situation of the world. I remember that we talked about Chen Shi before going to bed."

"That year, you were not yet the emperor."

"That's right, not only I'm not the emperor, but I'm not the king of Qin either. I'm the second son of a prince."

"That's right! At that time, I called you Li Er, and you called me Qin Da. It was the talk that night that led to the fact that I went to Wagang Village."

"Yeah, I told you to go, the world didn't know, so I misunderstood your indifference to Shan Xiongxin's brotherhood."

"That's right! I was misunderstood by the people of the world. People said I was cold-blooded, but who knew that you, Li Er, were my brother."

Li Shimin nodded fiercely. This is the most fundamental reason why he handed over all the power of the three guards and horses to Qin Qiong. They are real brothers.

"That's right, I'm your brother. Even if I become the emperor, I'm still your brother. It's just that my identity is too sensitive, so you can't explain it to others."

"Yeah, later I got to know the eldest brother and the third brother. You also know that I, Qin Qiong, have been surrounded by the three of you all my life.

I don't even have a life of my own. It's my elder brother's order to have a wife. Then you two arranged for me. I also thank my elder brother and you. My wife is very kind to me, and I, Qin, am very contented. "

"Back then, when my father was dying, he took my hand and told me to revitalize the Qin family. I did it and didn't disappoint my father."

"Brother wanted me to have a family, then a son, and then I had a wife.

She gave birth to another Ding, and I, who wanted to live alone for the rest of my life, had a son while my eldest brother was alive, and my eldest brother was very happy. "

"You want me to protect you, I have never let you down, I have never let you down, I have guarded the frontier for you, I have captured the flag for you, I have charged for you..."

"Zhijie wants to share wealth and adversity with me, and support me all the way, and I have been doing it."

Li Shimin grasped Qin Qiong's hand involuntarily. At this moment, he was not the emperor, but Qin Qiong's real brother.

As a brother, Qin Qiong has been giving, Li Shimin knows better than anyone else in his heart, but at this moment he has nothing to say, for Qin Qiong's dedication, Li Shimin really did not give anything in return except for his gratitude, so He didn't know what to say.

"Actually, brother has always known that Yu'er is your real eldest son!"

Qin Qiong suddenly changed the subject, making Li Shimin startled.

"Patriarch Li has always known this?"

"Yes, brother has always known."

"How did you know?"

"I went to the room where elder brother never let anyone in, and saw the letter left by elder brother."

Li Shimin smiled wryly and shook his head;

"That's right. With his status and status, it's normal to know this."

"That's right, that year the elder brother brought [-] clansmen, and you, Aye, asked him to allocate five thousand to support the northward journey. The elder brother is a character who likes to fight, and when there is no war, his hands and heart are itchy.

So he chose to lead the team himself. After a whole night, I will protect you and your siblings to escape. After more than an hour, the elder brother led the troops over. "

"So he picked up the child?"

"Yes."

Li Shimin frowned...

"But I also checked. Patriarch Li's troops are still more than 70 miles away from Niangniang Mountain. How could he deviate so far from the planned route?"

Li Shimin couldn't figure it out...

"I know Patriarch Li's temper. He is full of military knowledge and never acts recklessly."

Qin Qiong half leaned on the couch, her eyes were full of memories;
"That's right! Eldest brother really shouldn't have appeared in Niangniang Mountain, but don't forget, elder brother is the supreme Taoist, and one of his three guardians, Taoist Lan, is proficient in divination."

Li Shimin nodded, he had a deep understanding of that old hag, she was no longer a person!

"I know this, Taoist Landoren is my Aye's honored guest, and even Headmaster Sun's ability is not as good as hers, but... I also remember clearly that Taoist Landoren never followed Patriarch Li around that year! "

"One year in advance, Daoist Lan will be sure. The elder brother will have a son. This matter is clearly written in the elder brother's handbook."

"How did Lan Taoist break it?"

"Lan Taoist's assertion is that if you get a son in Niangniang Mountain, you will have two nobles, you will show your prestige in the temple, and you will be a hero in the Taoist school."

"So, no matter where Patriarch Li goes, he will always ask if there is Niangniang Mountain nearby?"

"That's right! It's just that it's not difficult to find out the child's life experience with the strength of the eldest brother's subordinates without telling everyone."

Li Shimin shook his head lightly;

"That is, he is the leader of the upper three families of the Li family in Longxi, and the most noble person in the Taoist family. Of course, he has the means and the strength to figure out everything."

Qin Qiong's face became very strange;
"You, Aye, and my eldest brother have been at odds since we were young, why do you still keep smiling?"

Li Shimin nodded and told the truth;
"I, Aye, have no choice. If he doesn't bow his head to Patriarch Li, he won't get the support of Shangsanfang in Longxi. If Shangsanfang doesn't take the lead, the other houses won't follow suit."

"Not to mention that there will be no Daomen's food to fill the stomachs of the children, so I, Aye, can only bow my head. He has no choice."

"Speaking of which, I have a sentence that has been held in my heart for almost ten years. If you say it, don't make a fool of yourself."

"I know what you want to say. Patriarch Li has made a lot of contributions. I, Aye, only give him the title of Founding County Male, which is very unfair."

"Yes, that's what I want to say. Although the eldest brother doesn't care about these things, and doesn't care about the rewards given to him by the court, that's another matter."

"What you, Aye, have done makes people feel very unhappy. You know best that you are qualified enough to be a prince who founded the country thanks to your elder brother's achievements."

"enough."

"Zhijie is not happy about this, and he can't figure it out. It's the elder brother who persuaded him to think about it."

"I know, I know that this matter makes the three of you unhappy, but you also know that what I said at that time didn't count."

"So we don't blame you."

"I can give patriarch Li a title..."

"Everyone has gone."

Li Shimin's heart skipped a beat, the meaning of Qin Qiong's words was understood by fools, he wanted to push his nephew up.

"The maidservant Guanyin also has some ideas, but I have to consider a lot of things. He has made great contributions to the court, which is obvious to all, but it is not enough to be crowned king."

Qin Qiong didn't speak, but picked up the bitter medicine beside the bed.

"This matter needs a long-term plan. Don't worry, I will consider it."

"By the way, Shubao, did Taoist Lan say anything else?"

"No! It's not written in the letter of the eldest brother. I know what you are thinking. You are worried that Yuer will seek power and usurp the throne, and your heart is on Chengqian."

"Shubao, don't blame me. There can be no fairness in the world. From the time he was left behind, fate has made a decision."

"I don't mean anything else, and don't get me wrong."

"I know you won't mess around, and God has compensated him, hasn't it?"

"Yes, he is the supreme Taoist now."

"So look at Shubao, no matter where he is, at least he has fulfilled the supreme pattern!"

"Yeah, so I don't talk."

Qin Qiong kept silent, but when he put down the bowl of bitter medicine in reality, Li Shimin saw the three tiger charms in his hand.

"You mean..."

Qin Qiong stared closely at Li Shimin's eyes;

"Who else can you trust now? Give the power of the three guards to your nine-room imperial guard? Can you guess what their ancestors are thinking?"

"My guess is not accurate."

"So you don't dare to give them the military power of the sixteen guards."

"Yes, I dare not. Every family has their own worries. It is already my limit to entrust the Xuanjia Imperial Army to them."

Qin Qiong stared at Li Shimin's eyes without any relaxation;

"Then how about distributing the three guards to the generals from the Qin Palace?"

Li Shimin hesitated for a long time before responding word by word;
"The time is not ripe, or...it has already passed. Yuchi Jingde is arrogant and domineering. Recently, he has been slapped on the nose. Zhijie is my last reliance. Don't expose him prematurely."

"So, what about Er Li?"

"Li Jing doesn't know how to pick it up, and he doesn't dare to pick it up. Li Shiji hasn't fully matured yet."

"Niu Jinda, where's Duan Zhixuan?"

"Niu Jinda doesn't have that ability, and Duan Zhixuan takes brotherhood too seriously, so these two people are not suitable."

"Where's Chai Shao?"

"Foreign relatives too, don't hold too much power."

Qin Qiong on the couch shook her head;
"Zhang Gongjin can be trusted, but he went first, Li Xiaogong is also fine, but he is seriously ill, worse than me, Zhang Liang is a bit too reluctant, and he has to guard the border, so he can't be transferred..."

"Yeah, the generals who can take over are dead, sick and sick, and the rest are all faulty."

"Hou Junji, you have to be careful. He has gotten too close to Cheng Qian recently, and he is also a greedy and narrow-minded guy."

"Are you still resenting him for insulting your nephew?"

"That's right, I always remember the bad words he said to Yu'er. I have been with you all my life, and I have no other requests. Only this Hou Junji will not die, and I dare not rest in peace. He holds grudges, and I I'm worried that he will kill my two children again in the future."
