Four Nights Red House

After a few days of recuperation, Longji's body gradually recovered, and his spirit also improved a lot.

He never saw her again after that visit from Meng Taiping who seemed to be dreaming and waking up after being ill.Although occasionally when I went to pay my respects to my father, there were a few intersections, but those were not really "meetings", because the times were very few and very short.

Even though she had been so intimate with him when he was sick, and they had said such intimate words between them, this did not become an opportunity to settle the past.Even though they also told each other that they would be good from then on, and no one would embarrass anyone if they wanted to, but what they said when they were emotional was never taken seriously...

After nightfall, Longji walked by the window, looking up through the half-open window to see the moon embedded in the sky.A curved path, and from time to time, was obscured by the floating clouds. In the illusory pattern of light and darkness, everything around him once again made him feel as if he was dreaming.

At this time, a eunuch suddenly heard calling him through the curtain: "Your Majesty."

Longji froze the thoughts that drifted towards the Moon Palace with the night wind, and suddenly came back to his senses, and asked him what's the matter.

The eunuch replied: "Master Liu is here."

Longji was sure of himself, this Master Liu naturally meant his confidant Liu Youqiu!

He never summoned Liu You to ask for an audience. It must be very important for this courtier to take the initiative to have an audience with him at such a late hour.What's more, the current situation and the limelight are really tight, Longji didn't dare to neglect, he hurriedly ordered the eunuch to lead Mr. Liu in, and retreated all the people in the hall, leaving only this courtier to discuss matters.

After performing the rituals that should be done, this Master Liu is also a straight-hearted person, and he does not want to do some twists and turns with the emperor, so he looks at the emperor's deep voice: "Your Majesty, in the current situation, your majesty's imperial power Gradually being emptied, the foundation and power are not very stable. There are some things that I have to say!" His voice fell when he raised his eyebrows.

Longji had a vague idea of ​​what he was going to say to him, and he himself knew very well what kind of situation he was in today.He thought to himself that there must be some words that can be thought of about the Supreme Emperor holding great power, Princess Taiping waiting for an opportunity to seize power, and so on.He also tacitly agreed, nodding his head to let him continue talking.

But he didn't want to, Liu Youqiu simply stopped talking, and immediately knelt down in front of Longji!

This sudden kneeling made Longji unprepared at all, his mind tightened, he was startled, and raised his hand to help.

But Liu Youqiu spoke before him, and the hasty words were full of sincerity: "Your Majesty, among the chancellors are Cui Shi and Cui Xi, both of whom are Princess Taiping." His face and brows moved, "It's so unstable to gather together for days and nights to carry out conspiracies and tricks! If the emperor doesn't make a plan early, it will be a serious disaster. If Princess Taiping's incident happens, it will be too late for your majesty to take action later! The Supreme Emperor I can't guarantee it either!" The voice was hurried, but the careful planning was not lost, as if it had been in the heart for a long time.The last few words were forced out of the mouth, even more abrupt, and it shocked my heart suddenly after hearing it!

They are all people with exquisite minds and a little bit of understanding, and they are immersed in today's closely-knowledged and unpredictable power situation, even the dullest people can't think smart!What "planning early", what "events happen once", Longji understood that the meaning behind this counselor's words was to carry out a coup d'état...

"Your Majesty." The faint light and shadow stained Longji's face with a little unpredictable expression, and Liu You was eager to speak the truth, so he didn't notice the strangeness of the emperor. He kept his voice and continued to speak hastily, "Habayashi Army There is a general who is your confidant of the emperor, and he followed your majesty closely when he was in Luzhou!" Wei Huan continued, "Now, as soon as you give an order, I and he will immediately dispatch troops to attack Princess Taiping !” At this point, the tact is no longer there, and the meaning behind the words follows the last sentence “Go straight to Princess Taiping”, and everything is as clear as it should be, so there is no need to question it.

An invisible sense of oppression suddenly gathered around, and Longji's chest felt tight!

The subject's mind was cultivated based on the emperor's usual thoughts. If the emperor had no intentions in this regard, the subject would not have such a bold and out-of-the-way idea!But when Longji suddenly heard his confidant say a plan that he had always wanted to hear... His chest was so stuffy as if it was flooded!

Suddenly, I realized that I was still not calm enough, that I still had no way to plan or even touch this matter without hesitation...

There was a buzzing in his head, Longji turned around, his handsome eyebrows were hidden in the dark shadow of the candlelight, his heart felt a burst of inexplicable pain, the pain ranged from light to intense, causing him to subconsciously raise his hand to caress his heart.

Liu Youqiu couldn't see the changes on Longji's face and the reaction in his heart because he turned his back on him.He only thought that the emperor must have listened to what he said, and was secretly thinking about a specific plan at this time.

But after a while, the emperor didn't give him a further answer, and Liu Youqiu really couldn't bear to work like this.

With a burning thought in his mind, Liu Youqiu couldn't wait for Li Longji's thoughts to settle down, he stepped up and walked towards Longji, walked around to him and knelt down straight: "Your Majesty!"

Longji was in a state of confusion. Although he had fought against Taiping several times, when he really hit the nail on the head, he realized that... he still lacked the courage to take the last step, only that courage!

Now being forced here by the courtiers, he was full of thoughts and didn't want to express his heart, so he was half perfunctory and half trying to find a reason for his hesitation: "But now my father, the emperor, is the only one left. Princess Taiping is such a younger sister." He nodded, his eyebrows gathered together, and his voice was obviously lacking in confidence, "If I touch the princess, how will father and the old man suffer?"

This reason is indeed an appropriate excuse, and it makes sense both emotionally and rationally.

Datang is a country that governs the world with filial piety, and has always attached great importance to the word "filial piety".In this situation, if Longji disturbs the peace, then Li Dan will be heartbroken and sad. This is unfilial; Longji is the emperor, the emperor is the son of heaven, and the king of a country, so he should be an example for the subjects of this magnificent world How could he be the first to lose the filial piety to the Supreme Emperor?

As soon as these words came out, Longji's impetuous and turbulent heart calmed down for a while!Obviously, he didn't want to really touch Taiping, and at the same time hated himself for being weak and incompetent; such a high-sounding reason just gave himself a fair and aboveboard explanation, and he deeply relieved the long-suffering breath!
