The summer solstice has not arrived, and the heat has arrived. On the branches under the tiles, the sound of insects and ants is ringing everywhere. The warm wind is gentle under the night, which makes people sweat soak.?

In Jialing City, the night market will not disperse and the curfew will not stop, just because tonight is the birthday of the Tang Dynasty king.

After dinner, the idle people sat in the tea shop in groups of three or three, guessing how grand the palace looked. Anyone who knew some people in the palace had become the target of the rest of the people's questioning, and the latter was also proud and said some hearsay scenes.

At this moment, countless people were talking about the palace, with lights everywhere, pearls and jade pots hanging on the palace pavilion, and bright and bright halls driving away the pavement of night.

In the Palace of Heaven, the strings and music are sounded, the long sleeves dance, the pretty years are colorful, and the graceful figure is really pleasing to the eye.

On the high platform, Emperor Tang was wearing a soapy flying dragon suit, and his index finger gently clasped on the low table full of delicacies, obviously very satisfied with the performance in front of him.

Below the platform, there were Dongling King, Li Mengxiao, Li Feng brothers, Li Yunying in a green dress, and a childish face with a childish face staring at the palace with black eyes, Li Han.

This palace banquet is really a family banquet.

After the dance, the dancer left with a long sleeve and a gentle wind. Emperor Tang glanced at His Highness and said with a little regret, "If the seventh brother could not pull away, he would have gathered..."

After the words came, Li Fengge stood up and bowed, "I would like to ask the emperor to forgive me for my sins. The spring is about to end, and the sky is getting hotter and the rain is coming soon. Xinyang is on the banks of Wujiang River. His father must make preparations earlier to avoid water conservancy accidents and floods taking advantage of the situation, causing the people to suffer."

"Oh, I've been suffering for seventh brother over the years."

Emperor Tang raised the jade cup in his hand, "Since your father is not here, then you will drink the glass of wine that I toast to him for him."

"Li Fengge thanked the emperor for his father."

After drinking the nectar, Li Fengge took out a carved sandalwood box from beside him and presented his hands on his chest, "Sage, this is a gift brought by his father Ling Fengge."

Zhang Lishi, who was waiting to pour wine for Emperor Tang, trotted down the steps, took the sandalwood box from Li Fengsing, and carefully handed it to Emperor Tang.

In the sandalwood box, there are several brushes of different sizes. The pen holder is white and warm. A flying dragon circles on it, flowing brightly, like jade but not jade.

"The father knew that the emperor was fond of pen and ink, so he specially ordered people to make this set of pens. The pen was made of bones of a strange animal in the Wujiang River, and the hair was made of feathers on the belly of a swan bird."

Hearing this, Emperor Tang laughed loudly, "This thing is deeply happy for me. After returning to Xinyang, you will thank your father for yourselves."

"Father, son minister has also prepared a gift."

As if he was afraid that the limelight would be snatched away, Li Ze stood up in panic. Perhaps he was too anxious and almost hit the low case in front of him.

Seeing Li Ze's appearance, Li Mengxiao, who was whispering to Li Ming, couldn't help but show a hint of blame in her eyes. Her slender jade hand helped him pull the wrinkled two-color golden dragon in the clouds. "Zedi, why are you so careless?"

"It's okay, I'm very curious about the gifts of the emperor."

With the words of Emperor Tang, Li Ze mischievously stuck out his tongue at Li Mengxiao, and then took out two words from his seat, "As the king of a country, the whole Tang Dynasty is the belongings of the father. Therefore, the son-in-law felt that whether it was gold, silver, jewelry, or jade toys, they were owned by the father, and they could not express the joy in the hearts of the son. I thought about it before, but the son-in-law had to write a letter to wish his father good fortune and heaven and a long life."

My tender face turned red. Obviously, I had recited this passage for a long time. Now Li Ze finished speaking in one breath, and there was no trace of tension and excitement on his face.

On the side, Zhang Lishi took two words and opened them carefully. The rice paper next to the blue cloud brocade said the eight big words "Blessings and Heaven, and longevity without boundaries". Although the font is not as good as those of famous masters, it also has a bit of charm.

"Your Highness the Prince is really a good handwriting."

Zhang Lishi, who was the first to see the words, smiled and said softly, and later called two little eunuchs to spread the words towards everyone.

Seeing this calligraphy, Emperor Tang laughed again, "Yeah, Ze'er's calligraphy has made great progress, I like it very much!"

After hearing what Emperor Tang said, Li Zeyuan's fat little face showed an extremely happy smile. After sitting down happily, he picked up the wine in the glass and drank it all.

"Your Highness the Prince!"

Li Ze's move shocked Zhang Lishi and exclaimed, "Li Ze is only a seven-year-old boy. Although his wine is a flower dew, it is not easy to get drunk, but Zhang Lishi is still quite worried when he drinks so much."

On the platform, Emperor Tang smiled and stroked his beard, "It's okay, since you are happy, let him go."

Later, Li Yunying and others gave carefully prepared gifts, and even the ignorant Liu Han presented several spiritual herbs that he had brought.

The King of Dongling always sat there quietly, drinking by himself.

Everyone's eyes also fell on the King of Dongling. The brotherhood of Dongling and Emperor Tang is well known to the world. Tonight's birthday celebration was also planned by the King of Dongling, so everyone in the hall wanted to see what kind of rare treasures the King of Dongling had prepared.

As if he noticed the gazes coming everywhere, the King of Dongling put down the blue and white peony pot that was about to pour wine and looked around with a smile, "As Ze'er said, the world belongs to the emperor, so I have never thought about what to choose to match the emperor, the king of the country, which is really distressing."

A joke-like remark attracted a burst of laughter from the rest of the people.

He shrugged helplessly, and the King of Dongling said with a scoundrel, "Everything in the world belongs to the emperor's brother, how about the same thing as the emperor's brother who gave me?"

With a smile on his lips, Emperor Tang immediately responded, "The emperor and I have a deep affection. As long as it is what you think, I will give it to you."

He picked up the jade cup, swayed the refined wine in the cup slightly, and swung the reflected lights. The King of Dongling said with a smile, "How about sending this Tang Dynasty to me?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!

Just as the rest of the people thought that the King of Dongling was just saying a joke, a figure hurriedly ran into the hall, "The emperor forgives the crime, the capital changes, the imperial guards and the flying armor have all appeared. Even the Dongfeng Wei stationed outside the city has rebelled and is attacking Xihuamen!"

"Dang!"

On the high platform, the jade cup fell to the ground and was broken.

Emperor Tang looked cold, "Fourth brother, is this the birthday gift you gave me?"

The King of Dongling slowly stood up, still holding a wine cup in his hand, took a sip and said slowly, "I'm for the Tang Dynasty."

In this scene, Li Yunying said anxiously, "Fourth Brother, Fourteenth Brother, isn't it enough to have a single incident of brothers' tragedy?"

"Eighth sister, you will leave with others first. I promise you that you will not take his life."

He threw the cup out casually, and the King of Dongling nodded slightly, "Yes, Sister Ba, please take people away. Some things are convenient for us to say. If I win tonight, I will definitely not kill him."

Anger flashed in his beautiful eyes, and Li Yunying swayed Yunshui's sleeves in anger, "The things that happened back then were already serious enough, so you should do it yourself!"

After saying that, Li Yunying led Liu Han out, Li Fengge bowed and his eyes turned, and Li Ming, who had already been in the rain, chased after him.

The scared brother and sister Li Mengxiao were unwilling to leave, but were swept by Emperor Tang, and he could only leave the hall reluctantly with concern in his heart.

Everyone retreated. In the hall, the lights in the copper cups were lit quietly, illuminating the figures of the king and the minister, this pair of blood brothers who had shared weal and woe.

"I'm afraid I'll never think that you, the Fourteenth brother, will rebel!"

Emperor Tang had an unstoppable anger in his words, and his chest was constantly undulating. It was obvious that he was trying hard to suppress the almost squirting anger.

As if he was not affected by the anger of Emperor Tang, the smile on the pale face of King Dongling did not retreat. He reached out to stroke the hanging branches of his temples. The long, which should have been black, had an extra silver frost.

"Haha, brother, you have been in charge of the Tang Dynasty for twenty years, and for the whole twenty years, my head has turned white in these twenty years, but where is the prosperous Tang Dynasty? You were so arrogant that you could not be angry at all, but after you took the throne, you became more and more timid, and even the small worshiper's lower court could not be used by you. Corrupt officials also turned a blind eye, let alone reappearing the prosperous Zhenguan era! You have been living in the dream of the peaceful and benevolent lord of the world. Can't you see that the Zhengyue of the Tang Dynasty is not as good as before?"

Perhaps because he was too excited, the King of Dongling couldn't help coughing, and a trace of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

On the high platform, Emperor Tang's face was as gloomy as frost, which was extremely terrifying, "Is this the reason for your rebellion?"

"Is this enough! The Tang Dynasty has been passed down from generation to generation, and I can't watch it ruined in your hands!"

As he gasped, a strange blush appeared on King Dongling's pale face, and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably.

A trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and the Emperor Tang slowly spoke, "In the battle, blood flowed into a river. The third emperor's brother died in battle. Now only his legitimate grandson Han'er is left in his lineage; the seventh and I are both children; the eighth sister has not married because of Liu Han. And the fourteenth brother, you have been infected for many years and have no children. My Tang Dynasty bloodline is in decline, so why bother you? If the fourteenth brother, you care about the throne, I can give up on you. As I said just now, as long as you speak, I will give up anything."

After saying this, both of them fell silent, as if they remembered that night, that night when they lost and gained but never wanted to recall it again.

After a long time, King Dongling wiped the blood on his lips with his cuffs, and his face was full of a wry smile, "In recent years, I often say to myself, maybe, brother, you are going to play a big game, and the layout always takes time, but twenty years have passed, I really can't wait, and I don't have much time, so I can only take this risk."

The words are desolate and there are many helplessness.

Emperor Tang was even more sad than before, and he didn't say anything for a long time, sitting there as if it had become petrified.

"well……"

After a while, Emperor Tang lamented, "I have indeed failed everyone's expectations. If you think about it carefully, there are many shortcomings in recent years. Perhaps because I am old, I always think about the way to maintain peace, but I forgot that the principle of not breaking or establishing it."

After lamenting, Emperor Tang looked at King Dongling, "But even if I have many mistakes, you shouldn't have acquainted with the Huns to go south, and you shouldn't have colluded with Liu Han people to kill my Li family ancestor."

"Ahem...How could I do this...Don't talk nonsense...Ahem..."

King Dongling coughed again, and his whole body trembled even harder. It was obvious that he was extremely disbelief of what Emperor Tang said.

On the high platform, Emperor Tang took out the secret letter from his arms and threw it to His Highness, "This is the secret letter that Liu Xi had obtained from an affair with the Huns. Only the prince of the Tang Dynasty is qualified to use the seal on it. Could it be that I wronged you!"

After picking up the letter, King Dongling glanced at it, his face changed drastically, and a violent cough followed, "This seal is true, but this letter is definitely not what I do. If you collude with the Huns, wouldn't it be that you can lead a wolf into the house?"

After saying this, the King of Dongling was stunned, and the Emperor of Tang was also shocked, because the princes of the Tang Dynasty were the King of Zhenxi, who was guarding Xinyang City.

At this moment, a group of armored soldiers rushed into the hall. The armor was dark and the long sword in their hands was as cold as the ice moon. The leader was Li Fengge who had left before.

"This letter is my deed and has nothing to do with my father."
