Chapter 121: The Child Who Died in Infancy (16)

Dropping this sentence, Yan Yuan didn't want to entangle with Li Xian anymore, but Li Xian was willing, "I know, I know, all of you only have Hong in your hearts, you don't even want to look at me, obviously we grew up together, I can't compare to Li Hong, so that you don't look down on me and look down on me."

Yan Yuan really thinks that Li Xian is crazy, since she was a child, she didn't treat Li Hong and him equally, Li Xian, Li Dan and Taiping are a little different in age, the three of them can be regarded as growing up together since childhood, reading together, writing and working together. But Li Hong has known how to take care of people since he was a child, but Li Xian always refused to accept Li Hong's kindness, and in the end, even she was estranged.

"No one looks down on you, but you look down on yourself. Don't say that you are not born to the queen mother, otherwise it will spread and make everyone in the world laugh. Yan Yuan warned Li Xian again, "The queen mother has given birth to Brother Hong before you, and there is me, when you gave birth to you, the queen mother has been made the queen, since the queen mother was pregnant, until you were born, everything was recorded in the memory, you said that these things can be faked, and the father is a fool, can the queen mother take someone else's son as his own son?"

"I am the son of my father, but I was born to my father and my aunt. Li Xian finally said this, Yan Yuan was stunned when he heard it, and then sneered even more, "You believe it?"

After asking, Yan Yuan only felt that he had asked a stupid question, if Li Xian didn't believe it, how could he keep saying that Wu Meiniang wanted to kill him. "If you are really someone else, especially your so-called aunt and father, don't say how your mother treats you, Li Xian, you don't know where you have been gotten for a long time. Can you still be in front of your King Lu in this palace? A stealing a child is not as good as a concubine giving birth to a child, Li Xian, do you think the queen mother will take a stealing son as her own concubine? Don't say anything about the father's insistence, if the father does such a thing, he will never dare to take a stealing son and put it in the name of the queen mother, and the queen mother will never accept such an insult. Anyone with a little brain can think of it, and you believe it?"

Yan Yuan was really speechless about Li Xian's disappointment, she said everything that should be said, Yan Yuan was ready to leave, but Li Xian shouted: "I almost died in my infancy, it was done by the queen mother, she wants to kill you in order to become the queen." ”

Yan Yuan said: "I haven't heard these words, but who can prove them? The people of the Wang family, the people of the Xiao family? Can they believe their words? In other words, even if my death was related to my mother, so what?

Hearing Yan Yuan's words that he didn't care at all, Li Xian was already stunned, why, why was everything different from what he thought, Yan Yuan, shouldn't Yan Yuan be the same enemy with her and deal with the Wu clan together? Why, why she was so indifferent, even if it was possible that the Wu clan would take her life.

Li Hong died, and Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang's sadness can be seen just by looking haggard and the white hair on their foreheads. Yan Yuan has always known that Li Hong and Wu Meiniang have a good relationship, Li Hong is a filial child, and he has always respected Wu Meiniang, and every time in a letter with Yan Yuan, he will always mention Wu Meiniang's difficulty. I don't know how the words about the stiff and contradictory relationship between Li Hong and Wu Meiniang came out of the outside.

Wu Meiniang was sad no matter how sad she was, and when she saw Yan Yuan, she only said: "Accompany your father more!"

Li Zhi likes Li Hong very much and has high hopes for him, but who would have expected that Li Hong would suddenly die of illness, which caught everyone off guard.

With the death of Li Hong, Li Zhi posthumously named him the emperor, nicknamed "filial piety", and was buried in Gongling with the etiquette of the Son of Heaven. Li Xian was also subsequently made the crown prince, but eight years later he attempted to return and was deposed, and was subsequently deposed as a concubine and imprisoned.

Three years later, in 683, Li was critically ill, and before the sickbed, Yan Yuan, who was more and more mature, took the prince Li Xian, the prime minister Li Dan, and Princess Taiping knelt in front of the bed, and Wu Meiniang sat beside him.

"Yuan'er, come here!" Li Zhi stretched out his hand and called Yan Yuan forward, Yan Yuan held back the tears that wanted to burst out of his eyes, and held Yan Yuan's hand, "Unconsciously, Yuan'er has grown so much." If so, if Hong'er is here, my father also hopes that Yuan'er can live the life you want to live at ease. But right now, Hong'er is gone, you are the eldest sister, in the future, take care of your mother and your younger brothers and sisters. ”

"Father, don't worry, the child will. Yan Yuan sincerely agreed, and Li Zhi stretched out his hand to touch Yan Yuan's face, "Father knows that Yuan'er will definitely do a good job." Father is very glad that you were able to survive back then. Father has something to leave for you, and you have put it away. ”

As Li Zhi's words fell, an attendant held a small box, the locked box, and the key were also placed in Yan Yuan's hands by Li Zhi, and Li Zhi told the rest of his children: "You have to listen to Yuan'er, do you know?"

"Father!" Li Xian and Li Dan Taiping all called, Li Zhi sighed softly, now, among his children, only Yan Yuan can be relied on, Li Xian and Li Dan are too weak, and Taiping is just a little girl.

"Go out, all of you, and I'll talk to the Queen. Li Zhi thought that everything that should be explained has already been explained, and how their lives will be in the future depends only on how they live.

Yan Yuan's brothers and sisters all retreated according to his words, and the chamberlain followed behind Yan Yuan with the box, "Princess! Your Majesty has explained, Your Majesty has been the queen of heaven, let the slave follow the princess." ”

After glancing at it, Yan Yuan's mind was a little low and said, "Then follow it." ”

The day in December is really cold, the important ministers in the court, who have already been summoned by Li Zhi, have already knelt outside and waited, Li Zhi has already instructed the things behind him, and now everyone is kneeling, just waiting for news.

At this time, although the Daming Palace is brightly lit, standing in the highest palace of the Daming Palace, at a glance, it seems to look down on the world. Yan Yuan closed his eyes, and then suppressed the pain in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" In less than two moments, Wu Meiniang's heart-wrenching cry came from the originally silent palace, Yan Yuan looked over in a daze, and the chamberlain ran out, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is in the sky." ”

"Your Majesty!" As the words of the servant fell, they cried bitterly one after another, Li Xian, Li Dan and Taiping also hid their faces and cried, calling their father and emperor one after another, Yan Yuan's mind also flashed the bits and pieces that Li Zhi had done to her over the years......

Li Zhi died of illness, and the whole court fell into mourning, because Li Zhi's last words were in front, and the crown prince Li Xian succeeded to the throne.

Li Xian succeeded to the throne as emperor in front of Li Zhi's coffin, and the ministers asked Li Zhi to be named the Emperor, and he was buried in Qianling on August 11 of the following year.

And the situation in the DPRK and China is rising again. Li Xian was weak and incompetent, and the power of the court and the central government was in the hands of the Empress Dowager Wu Meiniang, and the children of the Li family wanted to help Li Xian regain power.

After Li Xian ascended the throne, Yan Yuanjin was named the eldest princess of Changqing, Li Dan was still the king of Xiang, and Taiping was the eldest princess of Taiping. And because Yan Yuan has never been married, and he has lived in the border for a long time in the past, although Li Zhi has ordered someone to build a princess mansion for her, but because Yan Yuan only lives in the palace every time he returns to Beijing, and does not mention leaving the palace, Li Zhi does not look forward to his daughter staying away. But before he became seriously ill, the princess mansion that Li Zhi had carefully prepared for Yan Yuan had already been given by Li Zhi.

But Yan Yuan still lives in the palace, and it is only a few palace walls away from Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi's palace. She had no intention of staying in the princess's mansion, Wu Meiniang didn't urge, and Li Xian didn't dare to mention it.

Although he had the heart to win over Yan Yuan, the grandson of the Li family could not find a chance to get close to Yan Yuan, and it was true that after Yan Yuan went to Li Zhi, he was a person who did not show up often, and he lived in a simple place, except for seeing Wu Meiniang every day, the rest were in his own palace.

"Since they are looking for you one by one, you don't give them a chance?" Wu Meiniang, who has become the queen mother, lazily leaned on the couch at this time, playing chess with Yan Yuan, and asked casually, Yan Yuan also sat casually, and raised his eyebrows when he heard Wu Meiniang's words: "One by one, the people who pick the mother and daughter against their eyes, see what they do." ”

Wu Meiniang smiled when she heard this, and Yan Yuan said, "Has my mother thought about the charter?"

Hearing Yan Yuan's question, Wu Meiniang's actions paused, "Wei Niang is already the queen mother, and if she is not noble, can she still enter?"

Yan Yuan doesn't know when Wu Meiniang had the heart to be the emperor, but as the first empress in ancient Chinese history, Yan Yuan admired her from the bottom of his heart, and with Wu Meiniang's ability, there was nothing wrong with being the emperor.

"Mother is trying me?" Yan Yuan asked sideways towards Wu Meiniang, Wu Meiniang said, "How about being the emperor for my mother?"

Hearing Wu Meiniang say this in person, Yan Yuan was not surprised at all, "It's good." However, the mother can't move the virtuous, Xian, Dan! This is what the child promised his father. ”

Frowning, Wu Meiniang said: "They are obedient, I naturally won't touch them." But Li Xian ......"

Although Xian is a little hateful, the child still hopes that his mother can spare his life. Yan Yuan still pleaded, Wu Meiniang snorted coldly, "A person who would rather believe that others say that he is a stealing son than believe that it is my son, keeping him just gives many people a little more thoughts." ”

Yan Yuan reminded: "Xian is now a tiger with teeth extracted and limbs broken, so it's not a problem, so let his mother let him go." ”

Wu Meiniang looked at Yan Yuan, "How good it would be if you were a man!"

The son she loved the most and had the most high hopes for died, and the rest were either biased or weak and incompetent. This daughter is the most sensible and smart, but she is a daughter.

"I thought my mother thought my daughter was in good shape. Yan Yuan couldn't understand why a person who was about to be an empress would feel that she was not born a man.

Yan Yuan's persuasion is somewhat useful, but as Li Xian reuses the Wei clansmen, he wants to promote Wei Xuanzhen to be treated, which causes the prime minister to be angry. Later, he helped Li Dan as the emperor, but Li Ji's grandson Li Jingye, with the call to support Li Xian, gathered 100,000 people, and raised troops in Yangzhou to attack the imperial court.

Wu Meiniang was furious, ordered to revoke his title of Duke of England, took away his surname Li, restored his surname Xu, and ordered the general Li Xiaoyi to be the governor of Yangzhou, and led 300,000 troops to conquer, but in a few months, Xu Jingye was defeated like a mountain and committed suicide.

But the bloody storm of the imperial court has only begun at this point, as Wu Meiniang's regent wants to replace Li Tang Tianxia, the Li clan has been arrested, and those cool officials who were pulled up by Wu Meiniang have been tortured by these royal clansmen, and they have vowed to be beaten into tricks, even Li Xian, including Li Xian, is about to fall into the hands of cool officials.

Yan Yuan went straight to Wu Meiniang, and then had a big quarrel with Wu Meiniang in the palace, Wu Meiniang asked people to release the Li clan, but Yan Yuan said in front of all the people who were released from the prison to see the Li clan: "From now on, don't move the thoughts that shouldn't be moved, in the past, now and in the future, whether my father is in power, my mother is in power, or my younger brother is in power, you must not have the slightest objection, otherwise, I will punish you and others." On the contrary, Ruoer and the others have no objection, but as long as Li Yanyuan still has a breath, no one can move you. ”

Yan Yuan left the prison with the people of the Li clan, and the cool officials newly promoted by Wu Meiniang saw that they were about to wipe out all these people, but they asked Yan Yuan to take them away like this, and immediately went to the palace to report, but in the end they returned in vain.

Yan Yuan asked the Zongzheng of the Li royal family to gather all the Li royal family and repeat what he had said that day.

"If you are not strong enough, you will shrink your tail and be a man, I will remember the love of my father, you keep to yourself, I will protect you, on the contrary, if you dare to go against my mother, no matter what the reason, I will personally end you. ”

"Princess, the Wu clan is trying to steal my Li Tang Jiangshan!"

As far as you are concerned, my mother is an outsider, but in my eyes, my father is a close relative, and my mother is a close relative, I will not favor anyone, and in the same way, I will not spare anyone who dares to have crooked thoughts about them. I'll only give you one chance, I've thought it through, I won't stop you from looking for death, but don't harm others and yourself. ”

Saving these people, Yan Yuan expressed her protection, this is also the agreement reached between the two parties after the dispute between her and Wu Meiniang, the people of the Li royal family, Wu Meiniang will not move for the time being, but Yan Yuan wants to take care of these people, but if any of them dare to rebel, Yan Yuan will be the first to solve them, otherwise, if it becomes a trend, Wu Meiniang will call these people to death.

In the struggle for power, there is never right or wrong, Yan Yuan doesn't think she has any ability to care about those rights and wrongs, she only does her best to do her part, the Li royal family, after all, is the foundation of the Li family, if she sees Wu Meiniang kill all these people, Yan Yuan is only afraid that she will not be able to eat and drink for the rest of her life.

If you don't have the ability, it's just that, since there is a way, Yan Yuan still tries her best to do it, of course, if these people don't admit it, then she can only kill the people among them and keep the others.
