Chapter 216: Father and Son Reunited, a Painstaking Misunderstanding
In fact, even if Chengqi did not command Li Dan's army in the court, Li Dan had already had the idea of thinking about it in the long run.
Ruizong Li Dan is really not in vain with his "Rui" word, with a very beautiful mind and extremely accurate insight! This is a real dragon that lies dormant in the deep sea, silent and silent, but suddenly bursts out at every critical moment, soaring high, hovering over the vast sea and the vast sky! It is the wisest in this prosperous world, and it is the real Tianlong.
No one should think carefully or do anything under his nose, because these decisions are useless, and no one's thoughts and small actions can really hide from Li Dan; If you think you've been hiding it from him, it's probably because he's deliberately conniving at what you're doing, not wanting you to know that he knows everything and doesn't need to let you know.
Of course, Li Longji concealed Li Dan's incident of launching the Xuwei Rebellion, and he had to think about it in the long run; That's really a special "case", because even if it is thousands of miles of Yangtze River, there must be a place to turn, isn't it......
Li Dan saw the clues, and saw that some people openly and secretly wanted to use the matter of supporting the crown prince to make some small moves, use their brains to expand and consolidate their own power. This discovery forced him to rethink his thoughts, he made all these illusions not to support Taiping and suppress Longji, and he actually had no intention of his eldest son ascending the throne in his heart.
But Taiping's movements and the courtiers' movements are faintly contrary to his original intentions, and there has been a deviation to some extent.
Chengqi's insight is right, if the matter of the national reserve is not implemented, then I don't know what kind of fork will be made under the curtain of this rapidly changing power and government, and what kind of loopholes will be exploited by people with intentions!
In order to prevent recurrence, of course, the matter of this resolution must be decided very early, and after the dust settles, many people's thoughts can be broken and the heart that is ready to be stirred back!
After noon, Li Dan summoned Longji into the palace to talk.
Because of the semi-persecution above the court and the original stacking of the situation, Li Dan has already made a secret statement on the prince's affairs. Therefore, after being summoned this time, Longji also had some confidence in his heart, and he probably understood what his father was going to say.
When he came to his father's dormitory, Dan was idly pouring himself a drink and tasting the fragrant tea. Sensing the slight movement of the curtain, he saw that his son had come, so he raised his hand and retreated from the people who were standing, leaving only his son and himself.
This was the first time in a few days after Li Dan ascended the throne that he summoned Longji. Although it was only a few days, the relationship between father and son was inevitably not as intimate as before. There is embarrassment, and there is also anger, so everything that is like this is concluded with this faint sparseness at the moment.
Longji raised his hand and saluted his father, but the greeting was not spoken. He felt a little guilty in his heart, because of his original concealment of greed, because of Shangguan Wan'er's death...... Therefore, he subconsciously wanted to hide in the face of his father, his lips moved, and he couldn't spit out half a word.
But at the same time, Longji still has resentment and resentment towards his father in his heart. resented that he clearly knew it in his heart, but he still delayed in making a decision to support the crown prince, and he was deliberately torturing and tormenting him for life; Resenting why he supported Taiping and gave Taiping so much power made her more and more greedy and ambitious, so that she went toe-to-toe with him, like fire and water!
The relationship between father and son for half a lifetime, entanglement, love, love and hate, but because of the same bloodline from one place in the depths of the bloodline, after all, all the love and all the hatred have suddenly become so that everything can be let go and relieved...... Father, father and son, it seems that they have always been so contradictory, but what a trick!
In fact, it was not only Longji, Li Dan also felt a little embarrassed at this moment when he faced his son. He really had a breath in his heart, just stumbling there, he couldn't go up and down. It's not that I don't understand, it's not that I'm resentful, it's just that I don't want to touch it and face it subconsciously, so it seems a little unforgivable.
Dan actually understands Longji's thoughts, so let him, the father, take the initiative to give in, and soften this tense atmosphere as much as possible! With a slight determination in his heart, he glanced sideways at his son, and said in an indifferent voice: "For his father's temperament, he has no intention of political affairs, and he wants your aunt to manage the government." After a pause, he bowed his head slowly, "You don't blame your father, do you?" The indifferent sentence is straightforward and straightforward!
LONGi must have suddenly felt that he was exposed naked in front of his father, and he couldn't do any privacy! I didn't expect my father to speak so directly.
Nowadays, the relationship between Princess Taiping and Li Longji is not as harmonious as in the past, and the changes of the years have precipitated their mutual spirit and tacit understanding, but all these hard-won feelings were soon washed by the wind and sand of politics and power, and only a gossamer remained...... This is the avoidance in Longji's heart, and it must also be the avoidance in Taiping's heart. But Li Dan directly mentioned these words, not only unkindly, but with open and honest frankness.
It seems that when my father was called into the palace, he had the intention of galloping, and decided that the father and son should open their hearts and be honest with each other......
As soon as the thought came, Longji was relieved in an instant, and the depressed, entangled and scattered feelings that were suppressed in the depths of his heart were suddenly mobilized at this time, and since his father had already expressed his attitude first, he no longer went around: "Heh." Longji straightened up, hooked his lips slightly, and walked a few steps to Li Dan's side, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes when he bowed his head, "When did the father start to go around with his son like this?" Changing the humility and deference of Fang Cai, LONGi at this time has a little uninhibited taste.
Li Dan saw it in his eyes, his heart settled for a moment, and he understood the deep meaning behind his son's words: "If my father were to go around with you, I wouldn't have summoned you to the palace today!" Suddenly, he was a little helpless and a little relieved, he narrowed his eyes, and sighed slightly after speaking.
The invisible barrier erected around my father's body and those auras were suddenly dispersed and disintegrated by the warm flow that hit the bottom of my heart, and the atmosphere became soft, as if the cold ice slowly melted little by little when it met the spring sun.
This caused the grievances and resentments in Longi's heart, and LangLang overlapped several times. In fact, Li Dan would have mistaken Longi's intentions, and the "going around" in his mouth was not about Lichu, but about something else......
As soon as his mind arrived, Longji suppressed the frivolity and playfulness on his face, his expression was solemn, and such a strict appearance was somewhat distressing in his eyes, and his tone was precipitated: "My father is hating me, so he deliberately supports Taiping." It's not a question, it will definitely fall silently, and raise his eyelids to look at Li Dan.
Li Dan was in a trance, and his heart shook!
From the depths of his father's eyes, which seemed to have always been calm, Longji saw a fleeting mess, which was the state of mind that was bred after being poked in the heart. He pursed his lips and nodded a little fiercely, his sparkling gaze did not take away from Li Dan, and his voice was cramped step by step: "Let me and Taiping restrain each other and provoke me and Taiping...... You're ruthless. If it is not a high voice, the end sighs slowly, faintly but clearly, and the precipitation is self-contained.
Longji's sudden battle made Li Dan's heart rise and fall violently! only then did he react, and what his son said about "going around" was referring to this to the point. His face was slightly pale, and he couldn't do it anymore.
He can understand how his son has been hurt and suffered; All this was expected and unexpected by him.
Supporting Taiping and establishing Longji as the crown prince in the future, so that the two forces can restrain and contain each other, is to maintain the balance of the situation. This is really a big game of chess played by Li Dan, but Li Dan's original intention is definitely not to torture any of them or get rid of any of them. He thought hard about this expedient measure!
Just think, the conquest of Empress Wei Taiping is also a great contribution, even if Li Dan does not give Taiping Shijin such a right, can the reward that should be given not be given? Won't Taiping's own prestige and power expand and develop enormously? Since you can't completely suppress her, it's better to implement a co-optation strategy!
Therefore, Li Dancai simply took the initiative to show favor to Taiping, gave her more extensive rights, made her think that she was given by the emperor all this, and also let the courtiers see the emperor's tolerant mind, so that Taiping could also feel and take advantage of the situation to win the hearts of the subjects. It's better than being reluctant to give and suppress like Zhongzong Li Xian, but still can't stop the rising forces from continuing to rise!
As for Li Longji, Li Dan really wants to use him to contain and suppress Taiping, only in this way can the rights of their father and son not be completely hollowed out by Princess Taiping one day!
It is a cruel thing to let two people who have a deep friendship have to become captives of power in a-for-tat confrontation, but this is not caused by Li Dan, but by the situation! The situation has developed imperceptibly to this point, Longji and Li Dan are together, and if Taiping wants to stabilize power, he will definitely oppose the emperor, so the confrontation between Longji and Taiping is inevitable, and it has nothing to do with whether Li Dan gave Taiping the right to do it, and it is really wronged to say that Li Dan provoked that commission from it! He just adapts to the situation, or prepares for a rainy day before the situation gets out of hand, but where can he be blamed?
Li Dan is a qualified king, and he is also a hard-working king and a hard-working father......
But all these scheming and true thoughts laid out in the shadows, Li Longji, who fell into obsession and was deeply controlled by emotions, cannot understand them all. And because Long basically felt guilty, he subconsciously thought that all this was his father's revenge, and his father killed the person with the top of his heart in revenge, so he also let him taste and watch the person with the top of his heart go against him and go farther and farther, but he can only watch, watch, guard, and look forward to it so weakly...... But I can't do anything about it, there is no way to restore the situation and bring it all back to the original point, the bone-loving torment that can't be born and die for a hundred turns!
