Fairy, please let me explain
Chapter 725 Decision
Chapter 725 Decision
The Tianchi Lake on the top of Jiulong Mountain is quiet, with a loft standing in the center of the lake.
The moonlight enters the room, and the light and shadows are dim.
Eunuch Nie, who had already changed into the dragon robe bestowed by the emperor, knelt before the imperial desk:
"Your Majesty, I am incompetent and have failed to complete your request."
Behind the imperial desk, the candlelight flickered.
Li Yaoxuan was wearing a single layer of clothing and a dragon robe. His face was old and wrinkled. His cloudy eyes calmly read the imperial memorials with no expression on his face:
"I saw it."
Eunuch Nie's pupils shrank slightly, and he quickly tried to explain why he retreated:
"Your Majesty, I am not a coward. If I had been..."
"I said."
Li Yaoxuan glanced at the other person with a slightly weary look, and repeated softly: "I saw it."
boom.
Eunuch Nie pressed his forehead against the cold ground:
"This slave is guilty."
"Xu Yinhe is lucky. The growth rate of his three sons is really unexpectedly fast."
Li Yaoxuan gently leaned against the back of the dragon chair, put his ten fingers together in front of his abdomen, and said with a sigh: "If there was no Xu Changtian, with only his eldest son, I would have many more choices now."
Long before the war to destroy the barbarians began, Li Yaoxuan saw his prime minister's plan to train Xu Changtian, but he didn't care at that time.
Because it's late.
Even if he practiced with full support from the Prime Minister's Mansion, when his time came, Xu Changtian could only reach the level of Fusion Body Realm at best.
This kind of low level of cultivation is easy to target.
In the center of such a vortex, as long as one is willing to pay the price, there is no chance of survival.
Thinking about this,
Li Yaoxuan closed his eyes and smiled softly, showing a hint of self-mockery:
"Now that I think about it, I really regret it."
"."
Eunuch Nie raised his eyes cautiously and glanced at the thin old man behind the desk who no longer looked as majestic as before.
As a lifelong companion of Li Yaoxuan, he might not be the person who understands His Majesty the best, but he is definitely the person His Majesty trusts the most and the one who understands His Majesty's plans the best.
If Xu Changtian hadn't been there, the imperial power might have returned to the state it was before the emperor ascended the throne, but the Li family's rule would have been preserved, while the prime minister's mansion would have perished.
Xu Changtian’s sudden rise was indeed too abrupt, and the huge variable disrupted most of the emperor’s plans for after the deadline.
Thinking of this, Eunuch Nie slightly raised his body from the ground and suggested softly:
"Your Majesty, why don't you let me go?"
"To kill him?"
Li Yaoxuan opened his eyes, with a faint smile in his eyes: "You know what? If you leave later, the third son of the Xu family might kill you directly."
Eunuch Nie was startled and said:
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
"Xu Changtian was not joking with you. He really only used about 30% of the power of that spell. Your skills and the essence of your skills cannot kill him instantly, but he can use it to kill you instantly."
Li Yaoxuan slowly sat up straight, looking at the astonishment in his companion's eyes, and said with a faint smile: "You don't have to be surprised, it's just that the magic and the magic are mutually exclusive. With the essence of life and death in my hand, even if I use all my strength, I can't kill that kid instantly."
Having been in charge of the Imperial Household Department for decades, Eunuch Nie naturally knew the essence of life and death. He whispered:
"Then your Majesty, what are your plans for the future?"
Li Yaoxuan did not show any annoyance or anger, but just said:
"Xu Changtian did exceed everyone's expectations, but so did Zhao Yuan."
Eunuch Nie's breathing stagnated slightly, and his voice trembled a little:
"Your Majesty, are you..."
He swallowed the rest of his words under Li Yaoxuan's turbid gaze and crawled on the ground again:
"This slave is trespassing."
"Come on."
Standing up from the dragon throne, Li Yaoxuan looked at the only person he could trust in the world and said with a gentle smile:
"You have been with me all my life. Now that we have come to this point, I cannot possibly touch you again. Why should I be so cautious all the time?" Eunuch Nie did not move, his voice still respectful:
"Your Majesty has treated me with great kindness, and this is as it should be."
Li Yaoxuan shook his head upon hearing this, walked around the imperial desk, went to the window frame, and stood with his hands behind his back.
Eunuch Nie slowly got up from the ground, took small steps forward, and stood behind Li Yaoxuan.
Looking out the window at the clear lake under the moon, the look in Li Yaoxuan's old eyes gradually became dazed, and he suddenly called out:
"Big companion."
"The servant is here."
"Do you think I'm funny?"
Li Yaoxuan lowered his eyes slightly and stared at his withered hands that were shaking slightly uncontrollably:
"Even at this time when there is no time to hesitate, I am still hesitating."
"Your Majesty, whatever choice you make is right for you."
Eunuch Nie lowered his eyes and said softly, "According to the time, the Third Prince hasn't gone far. If Xu Changtian is willing to chase him, it shouldn't be difficult to bring him back."
"cough cough"
As if he had caught a cold, Li Yaoxuan covered his mouth and coughed twice, his voice calm and quiet:
"That boy Yunqing is smarter than you think. He understands my thoughts and his eldest brother."
The prince's intention to give way to the virtuous could not be hidden from Li Yaoxuan, his father who had watched him all his life. He smiled softly and said:
"The fact that Yunqing didn't come back tonight means that he has already made up his mind. Even if we catch him, we won't be able to change his character."
Eunuch Nie pondered for a moment and said:
"The Third Prince must have hesitated for a long time before he was willing to leave."
Li Yaoxuan looked back, with a hint of amusement in his dead eyes:
"Your judgment of people is as bad as ever."
".I am terrified."
After a moment of eye contact, Eunuch Nie lowered his head and said, "I hope Your Majesty will make it clear."
Speaking of this, Li Yaoxuan's voice was filled with a hint of smile:
"In life, there are always things that we care about, be it power, ideals, or love. With these, people will hesitate and struggle, but Yunqing has been restraining himself since he was a child, so that there are no people or things in this world that can make him struggle."
Eunuch Nie was startled and said softly:
"The Third Prince lives only for himself?"
Li Yaoxuan slowly leaned back on the dragon chair, glanced at the night sky outside the window, and smiled:
"Yes, this is why I admire him the most."
"In that case, Your Majesty, why didn't you do that when you were young?"
"But that's also what I hate most about him."
"."
Eunuch Nie remained silent.
He understood what the emperor meant.
Even if the third prince was brought back, His Majesty would not pass the position to him.
Because the throne was forcefully passed to him and he was helped to reach that position, it is estimated that we will only see the farewell letter he left in the palace before he left one morning in the future.
This prince will not care about the continuation of the Li family.
Facing the relentless pressure from the Prime Minister Xu family, even if there was a chance of winning, Li Yunqing would most likely not put up any resistance and would simply start the business, only caring about his own well-being, regardless of the flood in the outside world.
Thinking of this, Eunuch Nie already understood in his heart.
The Crown Prince has no intention of taking the throne, and the Third Prince has made up his mind to leave, so it is clear who will be left.
As soon as the thought flashed through my mind,
Li Yaoxuan's old and tired voice came over:
"Otomo, go down.
"I have to make a decision. I am indeed a little tired."
Two days later, night.
Emperor Jiajing invited Great Yan Prime Minister Xu Yinhe and Great Yan Imperial Master Ran Jianli to go north to hunt fairy deer in Longhuang Forest, and sent the second prince Li Zhaoyuan to lead the army to escort the imperial carriage.
The next morning,
The prime minister's third son Xu Changtian went to court to receive the title.
