Chapter 235: Go Out Like a True Son of Heaven!
The emperor proposed to take the crown prince, and this time is different from the last time, this is without any discussion, and it is put on the bright side to say that he wants to pass on the throne!
This is really earth-shattering news!
As soon as Taiping left, before the crown prince Li Longji could come over, there were ministers who were waiting for the early dynasty but had not seen the emperor gathered in front of the main hall to ask for an audience.
Li Dan naturally knew what these people were here for, but he had already made up his mind, and he didn't plan to mediate with them at this time, so he made them kneel in peace.
But the ministers didn't leave for a long time, and when they saw that the emperor didn't see him, even if they knelt outside the hall, kowtowed, raised their voices and dissuaded Lang Lang, they were saying one thing, that is, they urged the emperor not to abandon the country and take the initiative to abdicate at this time!
Needless to say, the clue of this situation can be seen at a glance, obviously it was Princess Taiping, who had just walked out in despair, and still had unwilling remnants in her heart, to inform the ministers.
And these people outside the hall who are gathering to bow at this moment are all Taiping**.
Li Dan was a little troubled by the noise, so he sent his personal eunuch out to relayed to them what he had just said to Taiping, such as "Heavenly Phenomena Revealed" and "Shuntian Shunyi", and also brought out the so-called lessons from the past when Emperor Zhongzong advised his brother to choose a virtuous son, and his brother would not die well if he did not listen.
The emperor moved out such a large set of seemingly impermeable reasons, and the people outside the palace who advised were really stupid! I have to see an unquestionable fact, that is, how firm the emperor's heart is to pass on the crown prince!
This does not bode well......
After a brief silence, they seemed to have an instant discussion, and then they had a new narrative. One of them prostrated and shouted to the temple: "The heavens are mysterious, it may not be like that, it is the warlock who deceived the people!" ”
"yes!" Another opened his mouth and said in a loud voice, "Even if the celestial phenomena are really like this, there are many ways to crack it, and Your Majesty doesn't need to have only one way to pass on the crown prince!" ”
It's really ridiculous, it's a thing that comes out of nowhere, it's them who say that the celestial phenomena are unfathomable, and they are the ones who say that the celestial phenomena are unpredictable! Li Dan felt a sigh in his heart, and he was really tired of seeing this deputy face, so he ordered people to lower the curtain and only listen to their own LangLang outside the hall.
At this time, the eunuch suddenly reported that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the East Palace had come down!
As soon as the tired eyebrows suddenly floated a light, the fatigue precipitated around the body suddenly dissipated! Hurriedly sent the eunuch to let the prince in.
Longji wore an open court dress with bright yellow and gold-edged begonias, and his face was solemn and a little solemn. In the faint light, he staggered, and as soon as he entered, he knelt down in front of his father!
Li Dan walked towards him.
Before Li Dan could speak, Longji kowtowed again and again, and at the same time, his voice was slightly choked, and he hurriedly expressed his heart: "When Erchen came here, he knew a general idea, reasoning, Erchen, who is not a grandson or a long-term official, is not qualified to be a prince, and it was the father who gave Erchen a prince because he made a small contribution!" Raising his head here, the pair of somewhat hazy eyes looked at Li Dan, and his voice remained unchanged, "Erchen feels uneasy in his heart just because of this." What's more, now that my father is in the prime of the Spring and Autumn Period, he actually wants to pass on the throne to his sons, how can his sons take on it? Why did you suddenly have such an idea? Why is that? This was said very sincerely, and the first of the three questions that fell behind was really humble, but the last two questions were really asking Li Dan for an answer.
Of course, Longi's words are not just rejection, in fact, he has an element of temptation in it.
Although he felt that his wings were not full enough at this time, when he thought about the situation that was getting worse day by day, his ambition and desire in his veins were suppressed by the turmoil! The heat of the heat almost burned him!
He was forced by the Taiping to camp step by step, and he was tortured by his father's Tai Chi way! In fact, sometimes he also thinks, if he was a little more ruthless at the beginning, and even killed his father's love, why not go all the way to the end and directly separate his father and become the emperor himself, would all this situation be different now? And such ideas have been appearing more and more frequently these days!
However, he couldn't figure out his father's thoughts, and he didn't dare to be too sure. His father was originally deep in the city, and after becoming the emperor, he was even deeper than the heavenly abyss! Last time, my father summoned the ministers at night to discuss the matter, and then he summoned himself to talk about the succession, but he only mentioned it once and suppressed it, and now Longji doesn't know whether his father's intention at that time was to test himself or whether he was hot for a while; Similarly, at present, his father's relinquishment of the throne, he can't figure out how sincere he is. So he didn't have the courage to make a direct statement first, so he had to refuse and refuse first. In fact, when it comes to filial piety, it should be the same.
Li Dan himself has also come all the way from the complex and changeable political curtain of imperial power disputes and conspiracy, and he understands his son's reaction very well, and this is also reasonable.
If the last time he proposed the succession was just an immature idea, then this time, he really wasn't teasing Longji, he was extremely serious and determined, such an idea has been implemented, and it has reached the point where no change is allowed!
Dan quietly looked at Longji's sincere and affectionate, in fact, somewhat scene-like words, he raised his hand and patted his son's shoulder, his face was kind and warm, his tone was so sincere and tenacious, and his words were serious: "My temple can be stable, and my father can be this emperor, all because of your merits, why should San Lang be modest!" After a slight pause, without waiting for Longji to continue to answer, he shook his head, a scorching starlight floated under his eyes, and his voice was raised in an instant, "Those who level the world's disasters will enjoy the blessings of the world!" ”
This loud voice carries the majesty of the Son of Heaven, and it carries the sacredness and solemnity of an award! The air around him seemed to freeze and tremble, and the ministers outside the hall who knelt down and listened attentively trembled!
Longji's chest was a little boiling, and his shoulders couldn't help but rise and fall slightly. Father's words were so inspiring, as if the turbulent uneasiness and shallow uncertain suspicions in his heart disappeared in an instant with the settlement of his father's words, leaving only a large expanse of the sea and the sky open and incomparably clear and clean!
Emotions were stacked here, and those excitement and high-spiritedness were pushed to an extremely high peak by LangLang, Li Dan continued with this exciting momentum: "This throne must be yours, my father believes in you, and you must also believe in yourself!" When the last sentence fell, he no longer seemed to be an emperor, no longer just an emperor, but also a father, a father who had cherished his son's heart, and who had ardent hopes and sincere appreciation, the most ordinary, the most painstaking, and the greatest!
"Father, ......" Longji was moved in his heart, his eyebrows gathered, and he subconsciously called out.
Li Dan interrupted him: "Today, it has been repeatedly revealed that the will of heaven is directed at you, and it is clearly indicated that I will entrust this great task to you!" That is, the tone was precipitated, and there was a different kind of deep meaning hidden in his eyes, there was encouragement, determination, sincerity, and all the trust, but almost every word, "Providence and personnel are ripe, why don't our father and son comply!" "That's unquestionable resoluteness, that's absolute royal majesty, and it's self-contained!
Longji's emotions are very unstable, excitement and rationality, desire and family affection in his body turned into galloping dragons that are constantly filled, entangled, and constantly competing, but they are all evenly matched, he can't quickly sort out a clear clue, just keep shaking his head.
Li Dan knew the entanglement in his heart, and continued to gently ease his heart: "You don't have to doubt. He decided not to have the slightest temptation, his heart to pass on the throne of Longji was clear, and after his chin was so serious, with a unique intimacy between father and son, his tone precipitated a lot, "If you can fulfill your filial piety during your father's lifetime, why do you have to wait until you take the throne in front of the coffin!" ”
LONGi's mind was in a trance, and then he was confused and frozen!
Dan turned his face, raised his head and hooked a warm arc on his lips, he smiled and shook his head: "I have been an emperor for two years, but I have suffered a lifetime of sin!" He sighed a long sigh, and it seemed that the old emotions that had accumulated in his heart, the depression and unhappiness that had been fermented into old wine, were all relieved at this moment, "Now, I have personally handed over this ancestral inheritance and splendid country to my son, and watched him ascend the throne and become the emperor, and watch him become powerful all over the world, there is nothing more joyful and gratifying than this matter!" "The end note is falling again, that is a kind of perseverance and unswerving belief, that belief has taken root, and is destined to be passed on from generation to generation!
The glimmer of the warm sun stained Li Dan's smiling face, and also dyed the obvious emotion between Longji's eyebrows.
Suddenly, Longji understood his father's heart. Father's earnest words of filial piety before his death, in addition to truly expressing the state of mind that his father has always longed for his children to wrap around his knees and live in harmony with the family, he is also telling him euphemistically that he wants to receive his father's love!
And then his father's words to watch his son ascend the throne in his lifetime made his mind spin again, and he suddenly remembered the last words left in the world and left to his father before Shangguan Wan'er left.
In her father's arms, she said, "It's just...... It's just a pity...... I can't see you in my lifetime...... Reign over the world ......". At the last moment when her eyes were permanently closed and her face was gone, she whispered, "If I have a dream, then ...... That's the only thing I've ever dreamed of......"
Shangguan Wan'er didn't achieve her dream in her life after all, is that so? Or maybe that dream has been achieved, but her remnants are still missing. Definitely, yes.
Now Li Dan also has a dream, he has very little left now, the only dream, why not watch his son step by step towards the throne with his own support, win the imperial power, take charge of the country, and reign over the world!
Love and understanding between loved ones melts everything. Then, the wisp of remnants that the old man can't achieve in the distance, don't cast a permanent regret between the father and son now!
At this time, the wind rose through the hall, and the bright yellow curtains in the room were swaying and swaggering.
In the glimmer of light, Dan stretched his eyebrows, suddenly raised his hand, and helped Longji up: "Now go out, hold your chest high and raise your head, and walk out like a real son of heaven!" His solemn look was fixed on his son's face, and his tone was heavy, encouraging and passionate!
Looking at each other, this time there were no more doubts, and the turbulent heart in the chest that had floated for a long time suddenly settled down, and finally settled down!
Longji nodded heavily, with tears on his face, and in his father's eager and encouraging, joyful, and heartfelt and gratifying eyes, he turned around, and then took a step of his boots, walking out step by step along the phosphorescent paved and glittering avenue.
The clusters of light and shadow that swayed in front of him and behind him swayed into the brilliance of a tree, and the wind that pierced the hall and the bright yellow curtain of hunting and dancing fluttered, as if composing a human ode that was extremely moving and blessed in the silent virtual space!
He walked out like this, step by step, towards the glimmer of light and towards the sun.
This jade-like figure is forever imprinted in the annals of Danqing, imprinted in the long river of history and the ruts that keep moving forward, dyed with vicissitudes, ups and downs, and the totem becomes a timeless posture, which is permanently condensed in this moment for thousands of years, just like the universe in the past, the mountains, rivers, the sun and the moon, which will be fixed for a long time and never dissipate!
