Chapter 208: Different hearts end, and the prince's affairs are all in their own minds
The moonlight was shining brightly, and the dissolving rhyme could not evacuate the lump of chaos in the bottom of the heart, and the cold breath flowed silently in this summer night in July.
Longji poured himself a drink in front of the cold moon in the courtyard of the mansion alone, and suddenly his mind drifted to Taiping's body along the silver-white Chanjuan, and then pulled it back...... Going around and around, it hurts him to have a headache!
He was a little uncontrollable about the chaos in his mind, and after all, he didn't know what he was bothered about! In fact, when you think about it, it seems that everything is troublesome...... The rapid rise of the Taiping forces, looking at the unresolved position of the crown prince in front of him, and the helplessness of thinking that the water and sky were clear in the future, but they were stirred and muddy again! Wait, wait, whatever, don't hurt him?
Suddenly, the thought turned, and the wind blowing on the surface of the water shook him with some shocks. suddenly thought of his henchmen to report to him that the eldest brother had gone to the emperor......
The eldest brother is the most peaceful and father-like among these brothers, and his actions and principles have always been so clear. Longji also understands in his heart that the eldest brother is an extremely smart person, and he should have understood the current chaotic but actually stable situation. Even if his father is really willing to give his eldest brother the position of crown prince, he has no achievements, and his foundation and popularity are not comparable to Longi's eldest brother, does he really dare to take it?
So the eldest brother won't fight with him or anything! But in that case, then why did you go to your father again?
Maybe he and the people around him think too much; Maybe the eldest brother just went to greet his father, talk, and sit and chat with his father?
In any case, the eldest brother must still be stable, a certain ......
Times are always like a tide, and it is often not possible to judge a person from his appearance, from the performance he has always revealed. Because what a person can tell you to see must be what he wants you to see, so how much do you know that he doesn't want you to see?
What's more, the situation can change, and the situation and people's hearts, and people's elements and thoughts are the same every day! Is there a common sense that can be controlled? It is not a day or two in the whirlpool of power, and many things are already very clear in my heart!
Longji's heart moved, raised his hand and brought the wine cup between his fingers close to his lips, and poured the already cold wine from his neck. He immediately got up, raised his hand and wrapped the cloak on his shoulders tightly, and walked out of the house in this clear moonlight......
The dark canopy of heaven is like a splash of ink in the Yaotai fairyland, wrapping this brilliant prosperous era thickly. The long street is lit up with continuous lanterns, and from a distance, you can see the swaying lights and purple clouds, and the thousands of lights and the luster of the ten thousand acres are contrasting with each other, and it seems to be more prosperous and bright than the day!
In the previous Zhenguan period, the Tang Dynasty's night ban was very strict, and during the first to second watch period, it began to beat the drum 800 times, and all the people had to return to the place where they lived, and when it came to the time of the lock, the gate of the high wall would be locked, and it would be reopened and released at dawn the next day.
The fang and the city are isolated from each other, and naturally there is no red mansion that is raging at night and boundless nightless.
In addition to festivals such as Lantern Festival and Chinese New Year's Eve or big days, day and night.
But now Datang has gradually broken this old custom, which is actually safe, and gradually appeared night markets, and the scale has gradually become larger. The more night it is, the more the people who have worked all day have a chance to rest, the more they will take the opportunity to go out to wander the streets, and make an appointment with three or five friends to go to the restaurant and flower market to drink and chat. Everyone has retreated from the regular busyness in the daytime, and the lights and flowers are swaying everywhere, and the light and shadow are jumping, so prosperous, so lively!
The tradition of sunrise and sunset is gradually broken, this prosperous and prosperous city has become more and more unique, Datang has finally become a gathering of thousands of glorious night demon capital, Rao is the most amazing legend in the world, the most legendary yearning are gathered in this dynasty, it is like the most dazzling pearl, standing tall in the center of the world, by all courtesy, enjoy boundless abundance......
Walking through the willows of the Red Mansion at night, who ordered to step on the Chang'an flowers!
Taiping is wearing a gorgeous red dress, with gorgeous eye makeup between her eyebrows, and the narrow eyebrows that are deliberately raised and painted into the temples show the fierceness of her whole body, and the majesty of the most powerful and powerful princess of the Tang Empire complements each other.
The soft sedan chair painted with shells, pearls and jade, and long feathers of hundreds of birds is like an auspicious cloud from the distant sky, gently swaying all the way through this bustling long street and winding alleys.
The jewels inlaid and hung on the sedan chair reflect the light of the sky, and the waves of the waves are like fishes, and the smudge of the night is as if it is cut by this sharp scissor blade......
Chang'an is the oldest capital of the Tang Dynasty, and the people here have long been accustomed to the ceremonial tents of the royal family and nobles. Therefore, although this gorgeous and majestic soft sedan has an unparalleled momentum, it has not made anyone too suspicious. Soon, someone in the laughing crowd recognized that this was Princess Taiping's palanquin.
And this embroidered sedan chair that is like clouds and mist in the night, holy and prosperous, is now heading to the mansion of the emperor's eldest son Li Chengqi!
Miao Miao, who was in the night breeze, slowly lifted the bejeweled sedan curtain, revealing the beautiful face of Princess Taiping inside.
She frowned slightly, her expression seemed indifferent, but the phosphorus fire accumulated in the depths of her eyes echoed the left and right thoughts and mixed feelings in her heart at the moment......
Taiping has not had a good time these days, although her current status is already above ten thousand people under one person, and she even has a faint feeling that she is about to reach the emperor, but the brilliance of her appearance can't save her inner torment!
The more this honey-thick taste of power becomes, the more it hides a double-edged sword that is sharp and cold, and I don't know when it will catch her off guard! On the one hand, she couldn't guess the emperor's thoughts, and she didn't know how much true friendship this always calm and old brother of the Fourth Emperor cultivated her so much?
And on the other hand...... She eats the marrow and knows the taste, and after being contaminated with the opium of power and this outright poison, she decided that she was not so willing to let go so easily!
When Emperor Wu was there, Taiping's wings were not yet full, and she needed to rely on her mother's protection and at the same time find a big tree for her own shade; In the Zhongzong period, she was already majestic and powerful, but at that time, she was the same as the prime minister Li Dan, who was an anguo and a town, and she was burdened with the same favor and power, but it was not enough to rely on the power of one person to tilt the power into the opposition; But now, Taiping was given higher rights by Li Dan, who ascended the throne as the emperor, and this increasingly clear right to openly participate in politics, she suddenly tilted her power to the government and the opposition, and there was no one inside and outside the Tang Palace who could match her power!
Apart from...... Li Longji.
Taiping, she felt that she had been moistened by the water and soil of the Tang Dynasty, and the peony that was rich and rich in the city bloomed into a beautiful and evil poppy overnight! She coveted such a feeling, such boundless power made her so worried that she would end up with a rabbit and a dead dog, and a wild ghost and a lonely ghost, and on the other hand, she drank to quench her thirst and it was really hard to stop! After tasting the great sweetness, she changed her style of acting in the dust during the Zhongzong period, and she no longer wanted to endure or continue to play an ostrich......
Life in the world is less than a hundred years, why do you have to keep suffering yourself like this, so that you can't be happy?
The intense sense of gain and loss made her panic and surprise, and she was more and more carried away by too joy and greed!
She is really afraid, she is afraid that once she loses this right in the future, she will end up with the same result as Shangguan Wan'er, with Wei Hou Anle and so on too many sacrifices! Therefore, she has to hold on, and she must do everything to stabilize her position, so that this foundation is so deep that Rao is emperor and Rao is someone else wants to eradicate it, but she still can't do it at every turn!
And the person who is most likely to make her lose this right at the moment, and who will definitely fight against her in the future, is Li Longji......
Whether it's fate, ruthlessness, or a means as cool as getting rid of the beloved man back then, it's okay to say it! Taiping faintly has such a determination in his heart, he must not let Li Longji become the prince! We must not let the same be the same as the government. Li Longji, who became a hero, and her aunt restricted each other together, and did not allow this situation to return to the situation when she was equal to Li Dan during the Zhongzong period!
In other words, she is unwilling to restrain and share power with LONGi. She wants to be dominant, she wants to take over the outline of this dynasty alone, become the unique princess of Taiping in the Tang Dynasty, become a strong woman who is the same as her mother, but more respected than her mother's virtues, and get absolute power!
But Li Longji's foundation and power are now profound; After years of intersection, she has also learned Longji's decisiveness in his behavior and methods, his clever mind and his deep city. How to control this situation and curb the trend of supporting the third prince Longji to become the crown prince?
It's not that there is no way......
This breakthrough to make a knot and pounce on it is on the emperor's eldest son, Li Chengqi!
No matter what kind of intentions Li Dan had, that day the court bluntly proposed two candidates for the crown prince, and the eldest son Chengqi was also eligible. She doesn't care about the original intention and intentions, as long as there is Li Dan's words, it is enough!
She didn't believe that Li Chengqi, a prince who had been made a prince as early as a child, and was also the eldest son, was really not moved at all in the face of the boundless imperial power at his fingertips? Is he really willing to deign to be under his third brother in the future?
Chengqi behaved indifferently because he was not a hero and had no power, and he didn't have to fight! And if at this time, Princess Taiping is willing to use her power to push the weapon......
As long as Li Chengqi is used to let the two brothers pinch each other, Longi's forces will be temporarily bonded. In the future, Chengqi was promoted to the crown prince by her princess Taiping, and finally ascended the throne as the emperor, she Taiping is the primary hero, and Chengqi must be very grateful to her!
She was not at all worried that Li Chengqi, who would become the emperor at that time, would get rid of her aunt, who was a high-ranking master, because even if the Taiping at that time would not take on the fame of the empress, it was enough to control all the court situations and make him a puppet emperor who obediently obeyed her orders......
The bloody wind of power wrapped in the ambition of desire rippled from afar, bringing a slight ripple on the face. Taiping raised his hand and lowered the curtain of the falling jade sedan chair that was filled with the fresh fragrance of flowers and willows and blown open by the night wind, and the brilliance of thousands of acres was isolated from the small sedan chair. In the dark field of vision, the boundless brilliance and the smoke of desire fell into the plump and beautiful princess's long, narrow, and bright Danfeng eyes......
