   Chapter 386 Provocation

  Li Hao stepped into the military tent and saluted: "My son has seen the father and emperor."

   Half a year ago, Li Hao led his troops to a great victory, and he became famous and highly praised. In the past six months, Li Hao has made a lot of achievements.

   After being baptized with iron and blood, today's Li Hao is as sharp as a tempered sword.

  Emperor Yongjia looked at the handsome and popular third son, his heart was full of admiration and praise, and there was a smile on his face: "Get up quickly. You are not staying in the military tent, why did you come here?"

  Li Hao raised his head, his eyes shining brightly: "Father, the capital of Chu will be attacked in a few days. My son wants to invite Ying to fight and be a **** for the father."

  Emperor Yongjia laughed: "If you want to fight, you should wait until I announce the call of the generals to discuss matters. See me in private now. If I answer you, it will be too unfair for other generals."

The    army has already reached the capital of the state of Chu, and in one go, directly defeat the state of Chu, and you will be able to achieve unparalleled achievements.

  At this time, who doesn't want to be the first to capture the capital of Chu State?

  Li Hao didn't feel embarrassed, and said with a smile: "My son is younger, not as good as the Duke of Xingyang, Puyang Hou Guangping, and the others. What my son can rely on is nothing but the father's preference."

  This flattery is right in the heart of Emperor Yongjia.

  Emperor Yongjia smiled happily: "No matter what, I will answer you. When the time comes to attack the capital of Chu, you will be the striker."

  Li Hao was overjoyed and hurriedly handed over his thanks.

  The eldest prince looked at this scene coldly, his eyes turning red with jealousy.

  If his legs are still fine. It's a good thing to lead troops to attack the capital of Chu State, where will Li Hao be obtained! Now, he can't do anything, he can only watch Li Hao, who was originally unremarkable, show his sharpness.

   What is even more irritating is that the Marquis of Guangping, who was originally devoted to him, now also turns the horse and stands quietly behind Li Hao. Li Hao led the Zhao family army, supported by the Hou Guangping, and was extremely popular.

  Emperor Yongjia still had business to do, so after a few gossips, he sent the eldest prince and the third prince to retire.

  The eldest prince limped out of the military tent on crutches.

   Li Hao strode over and chased after him. He was quite considerate, and stretched out his hand to support the arm of the eldest prince: "Brother's leg injury has not healed, so please walk slowly."

   The eldest prince snorted coldly, and shook off Li Hao's hand forcefully: "I can walk by myself, and I don't need you to help me if I fall. You don't have to pretend to help me."

  Li Hao withdrew his hand helplessly: "I have a good intention, why does my eldest brother always look at me coldly!"

  The eldest prince sneered again, and gave Li Hao a sideways look: "Come on, you! Father is not here, clean up all your hypocrisy. Even if I lose my legs, it's not your turn to pity me!"

   No matter how ruthless the words are, what's the use?

Li Hao's eyes flickered, and he deliberately turned twice on the eldest prince's right leg, and twitched the corners of his mouth with a half-smiling smile: "Big brother has a tough temperament, which is admirable. You can walk as usual, and you can pick up your knife and go into battle again.”

   Pretending in front of Emperor Yongjia, in private, the eldest prince has never had a good face, and he just deliberately disapproved of the eldest prince.

   The eldest prince was so angry that his face turned blue, he grabbed the cane with his right hand, raised the cane and hit him.

  Li Hao's reaction was sharp, and he quickly took two steps back and flashed.

  The eldest prince exerted too much force himself, and his right leg was no longer supported, and instantly fell to the right. Li Hao reached out in time to support the embarrassed eldest prince: "Big brother is already like this now, let's be honest and calm down!"

   "After you go back, remember to ask the imperial doctor to take a closer look. The right leg is no longer useful, so don't hurt other places."

   Under the fierce stare of the eldest prince, Li Hao calmly smoothed the wrinkles on his sleeves and walked away.

   The eldest prince stood on the spot without moving.

  Like a proud eagle, its wings were broken and fell to the ground, without its former glory, only desolate.

   The servant on the side bravely stepped forward and supported the eldest prince: "The servant waits for His Highness to return to the military tent."

   The eldest prince shoved the chambermaid away with force, grabbed the cane himself, and trembled with anger, even when he spoke: "Get out! Get out of here!"

  …

   Such an episode fell into the eyes of the guards, and soon passed into the ears of Liang Dalang and Liang Erlang.

   Liang Dalang frowned and said nothing.

  Liang Erlang couldn't hold back, and whispered angrily: "His Royal Highness is injured like this, it's just that the Third Highness can't let it go, he even deliberately provoked. What kind of brother is this!"

   Liang Dalang glanced at Liang Erlang who was excited: "Keep your voice low, don't let people hear it, and it will cause controversy again."

   Liang Erlang snorted, and his voice was a little lower: "In the past, the third prince was still low-key. In the past six months, the limelight has become more and more powerful, and the first prince has become less and less important."

   Liang Dalang sighed: "It's not up to you and me to say these words. We are courtiers, and we have no right to care about the affairs of the Tianjia brothers, and we can't talk too much."

   "In front of others, I didn't say a word." Liang Erlang looked helpless and aggrieved: "Isn't it just our two brothers, I just rambled a few words and came out of my heart."

Liang Dalang was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: "The feng shui turns. In the past, when the eldest prince was favored, why did he put the third prince in his eyes. Now that the eldest prince is down, the third prince's reputation is rising, and stepping on the eldest prince does not count. what."

   "In the end, it's none of your business."

   "The eldest prince's leg is useless, and there is no possibility of competing for the storage seat."

"On the other hand, the third prince has made so many military exploits, and he is still not satisfied. He still wants to lead the troops as a striker to attack the capital of Chu. The Marquis of Guangping threw the first prince, and now he fully supports the third prince. The third prince has made military generals in the Zhao family, Can't you see what the plot is to buy people's hearts?"

   "In the future, there will be a battle between the third prince and the crown prince."

"The prince is smart and wise. With the full support of the Lu family, he will be a generation of wise monarchs in the future. It would be better if the eldest prince stopped early. A vassal king who has lost his right leg will not be tolerated by the prince. From this point of view, it is a good thing. "

   Liang Erlang: "…"

   Liang Erlang's expression was a bit complicated, and he said after a long while, "Big brother has a broad mind, he can see clearly and think clearly, I'm not as good as big brother."

   Liang Dalang reached out and patted Liang Erlang on the shoulder: "There is nothing to think about. Father is right, we are slaves of the emperor's family, and we just need to be loyal to the emperor. The rest has nothing to do with us."

  When the eldest prince was glorious, the Liang family didn't rush to compliment.

   Now that the eldest prince is down and out, the Liang family cannot completely ignore it in the face of the eldest prince and concubine. At most, it's just a swipe or two.

   It is absolutely impossible for the Liang family to go up and down to support a prince with a broken leg.
