"Your Highness has a strong wind in the lake, be careful of the wind and cold."

The lake was sparkling and green willows swaying. A pretty young servant walked into the pavilion and bowed to the young man standing behind the fence.

The young man there was named Li Yu, the eldest son of the late emperor and the prince of the Tang Dynasty. After going through the incident in Chang'an and Huazhou, his childishness gradually faded from his face. He looked at the group of mandarin ducks swimming over the lake, smiled, turned around and took the cups on the stone table, and threw them on the lake surface, splashing water.

"It is better to get cold after being infected with wind and cold. You won't get sick. I don't know who is really caring about people around you."

"Are you still arguing in the court?"

Li Yu paused and did not turn around. He just looked at the ripples on the lake, flew with his wings in panic, and the little eunuch behind him said "hmm".

He replied: "Yes, the ministers are still arguing with the King of Liang. Some sisters over there said that some ministers have already stood on the King of Liang and want to make His Highness the Ninth Emperor the Emperor."

Speaking of this, the little eunuch raised his round face and looked carefully at his back, "Your Highness, I have something to say if I don't know if I should say it?"

Over there, my back raised my chin.

"Yeah, you said."

"I think that at this time, Your Highness should not be the emperor... King Liang is very powerful, so it would be better to give in."

"Bold!" After hearing the words of the servant behind him, Li Yu's eyes slashed, raised his hand to slap the fence, turned around and glared, scaring the little eunuch so much that he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.

After all, Li Yu was young and couldn't be hard-working. Besides, this little eunuch followed him for many years, and he had been with him since childhood. His tone was gentle, he sighed, and then turned back.

"The position of the crown prince was given to me by my father. The throne should be mine. Although the ninth brother has been smart since childhood, he is still young. If he sits in that position, he will only be made a puppet. You slave, you don't know what I am thinking. In fact, as you ascend to the great treasure, you also want to do something to lay the foundation for the later brothers. If I encounter an unexpected situation in the future, they can protect themselves..."

While speaking, the little eunuch listening over there felt footsteps coming, and subconsciously turned around. The sunlight was shining into the pavilion from outside, reflecting a few shadows.

"You are..." The little eunuch was about to speak, but his mouth and nose were covered. He instantly pulled it back. His thick arms twisted, and only the crisp sound of the neck bone was heard.

When Li Yu heard the movement, he turned around and saw several thick and strong men dressed in eunuchs looking at him expressionlessly. Before he could speak, one of them suddenly raised his foot and kicked his back. His whole body flew out of the fence and plunged directly into the lake.

"save....."

The young man was not watery and waved his arms hard. Fortunately, he was close to the shore and not very deep. He struggled and twisted for a few times and moved to the shallow water. He walked onto the shore in panic for a few steps. The next moment, he was pressed against his forehead.

A big man with thick beard and ferocious beard grabbed his hair bun, lifted it up and lifted it up, pulled Li Yu directly over, swept it into the water, and pressed it down tightly on the back of his head.

The man looked at the boy struggling wildly in the water and lowered his voice.

"Your Highness, we are also on orders to act. If you want to blame, you will blame you for being born in the imperial family."

The sound fell, and his arm was pressing Li Yu even harder, almost pressing him into the mud. The struggling boy gradually became less and his limbs twitched slightly, and he was completely motionless after a while. The man then let go of his hand, looked at the corpse floating on the water, dragged it up, raised it over his shoulder, threw it harder and threw it to the farther surface of the lake.

He turned around and walked back, waved his hands at several of his personal soldiers who hung the little eunuch in the pavilion.

"It's time to leave."

There were patrolling guards along the way coming over. When they saw a few people, they looked at the pavilion again, and their eyes were signaled. Both sides nodded and left directly. After a long time, they turned back and exclaimed.

"Your Highness drowned when he plays in the water, come quickly-"

When the news spread, there was still dispute over the establishment of a new king in the temple. Zhang Wenwei, Minister of the Secretariat, Cui Yuan, Minister of War, Prince Lu Guangqi and other groups of civil and military officials were not afraid of swords and weapons, and they were blushed when they fought with Zhu Wen.

"......... Your Majesty has not issued an edict to whom to inherit the throne, so it should be the crown prince. How can you choose because of the King of Liang's preferences? This is a great misfortune!"

"Fart!" Zhu Wen's robber also became more and more arrogant, and he wanted to drag the civil and military officials out to kill them immediately. But he understood that if the killing was small, the name of the new king would be less glorious, and the gang of military governors who respected the court would be difficult to deal with.

"Since you know that Your Majesty has not issued a will to whom will succeed to the position of Emperor, you should choose those who are both virtuous and capable. Although the prince is good, he is weak in nature. This is an extraordinary time. How can there be a weak person to be the emperor? How can this intimidate the vassal states with ill-hearted intentions? The Nine King Li Qi has not yet formed a character, so he should be a good student and trained to become a domineering person."

"King Liang, how good are you?!"

The person who spoke was Cui Yuan, the Minister of War. He had been acquainted with Chang'an Jingzhao Yi Peishu for many years. Jiang Xuanhui forced the palace to kill his friend. This anger was always in his heart. Now he was arguing, and his blood was on his head. He couldn't help but unable to say these words, which made Zhu Wen's face look like a pig's liver. He grabbed the hilt of the sword with his hands, clenched his eyes tightly, and narrowed his eyes.

"Mr. Cui, is this questioning Zhu?"

"King Liang."

During the stalemate, Geng Qing's words sounded in the hall. He bowed to Zhu Wen and then to Cui Yuan there.

"What you said is not wrong. Since ancient times, there have been many problems with the abolition of the elders and the young people. But what King Liang said makes sense. In extraordinary times, only when kings and domineering means can they unite the Jiuzhou and promote the power of the Tang Dynasty. However, Emperor Xizong was fun and abandoned the affairs of the country. The late emperor had reason to ambition, but the middle way collapsed. This is often sighing. It would be better to help the King Liang support the emperor and work together. Otherwise, they would argue here and let the vassal states laugh at the joke."

He didn't like these ministers, and probably because the other party wanted to kill Zhu Youlun when he conspired with him. However, now, he still wants to reconcile this in the center, so as to avoid making the matter of establishing a king out of nothing and causing more problems.

The civil and military officials over there did not feel much about this, and they could listen to it because in addition to the King of Liang Zhu Wen standing behind Geng Qing, there was also a cavalry Dragon Army and eight thousand cavalrymen in his hand, which was something that people dare not look down upon wherever they were placed.

Just when they were reconciling the two sides, there were guards outside the hall. The eunuch hurried over and whispered something to the people at the hall gate. The latter hurriedly stepped into the hall gate and came to Zhu Wen to whisper a few times.

"What?"

While Zhu Wen's face changed drastically, the civil and military officials in the hall, including Geng Qing, looked at him, and some ministers came out: "King Liang, what happened?"

"temple......"

Zhu Wen looked bad, and he stopped talking for a while, sighed and said, "Crown Prince Li Yu... He fell into the lake and drowned..."

The words were like a scoop of clear water plunged into the boiling oil. The hall suddenly exploded. At the last moment, everyone was still protecting the prince ascending the throne. At the next moment, they heard such bad news, and many old ministers immediately burst into tears.

Queen He, who was sitting next to the dragon chaise, shook twice and fainted directly, causing the eunuchs and palace maids to be in a hurry.

"Oh my God... The prince is just a young man, how could he suffer such misfortune?"

"........King Liang, quickly find out the reason, I don't believe it...I don't believe it!!"

The ministers sat on the ground, howling and slapped the ground, and the buzzing noise was heard. Geng Qing could not see any joy or anger on his face when he heard the news. He looked at the ground with a blank expression. He knew that Prince Li Yu had seen him several times in the palace. He used to be a lively boy, but later because of the accident, he became silent and died suddenly, which surprised Geng Qing.

He looked at Zhu Wen, closed his eyes, and sighed, and he couldn't bear it for the child after all.

He didn't notice when he followed Zhu Wen out of the palace. When he went back to the carriage, Zhu Wen still slapped his short distance, and sometimes he sneered.

"Aren't these court officials trying to establish Li Yu? Can they still establish themselves now? Just as they want to establish someone? Zhu will kill whoever they want!"

He regarded Geng Qing as his confidant and said it without much scruple. Facing Geng Qing's gaze, Zhu Wen's smile became more and more terrifying.

"......there are still several princes, and they will be killed together at that time."

He said so.

In this matter, Geng Qing could not help the princes, but just watched Zhu Wen joking in the car in silence, as relaxed as killing a few wild dogs.

Soon, he arrived at the Liang Palace. He got off the carriage driven by Dachun, left the street in front of the palace, walked through the market, and returned to Geng Mansion. There were no female relatives at home, nor Geng Nian's screams, and it seemed deserted. Only Jiuyu, Dachun followed him, walking by the pond in the mansion, watching the blooming lotus flowers.

"You said, are people very conflicted... They obviously don't like those court officials, but these people are indeed admirable. They don't like Li Ye, but their children are all innocent... The imperial family... Unless they last forever, even if they are as powerful as Emperor Taizong, look at the sufferings his children and grandchildren... Later on, to Li Yan, Li Ye... and then to Li Yan, they are killed like a dog. If they don't make it happen, they will be scattered by someone, and their ancestral tombs will be scattered all over the ground, and their bodies will not be able to live."

"So...becoming an emperor will make you happy. If future generations become foolish emperors, then it will end."

Jiuyu didn't answer his words, but just asked, "Do you want to get involved in this matter?"

"What are you involved in? King Liang is my boss now."

Geng Qing picked up a stone, threw it into the pond and smashed it into ripples. He looked at the floating Heye and smiled and said, "I still expect him to hold on for a while and let me live a few comfortable days."

June will soon begin.

The counselor Liu Can was appointed as the Minister of the Central Secretariat to Pingzhang. Soon after, he invited King Li Xu of Di, King Qian Li Xu of Li, King Yi Li, and King Sui Li Yi... After the nine princes met to have a banquet for the Jiuqu Pool. When they were drunk, Liu Can saw the opportunity to get off the boat and walked through the bottom of the boat. Nine people sank the river with the ship, waiting for the guards on the shore to save people, and all the kings drowned.

Among the royal family, only the Nine Kings Li Qi remained.

On the second day of the sixth month, Liu Can asked Li Jian to be the emperor.

At this time, the ministers in the court could not understand who the kings died and who the prince Li Yu drowned. However, no one dared to speak anymore, for fear that even the only nine kings who remained were poisoned by the other party, so they had to echo one by one.
