Chapter 141: Branches

On the eve of the recall of Li Xian, the king of Luling, Emperor Wu had already made up his mind to return Li Tang to power. But even if Li Tang returned to power, he might not be able to breathe a sigh of relief, because although the problems between Li Tang and Wu Zhou can no longer be entangled, the tossing and turning and those concerns that have sprung up in the heart of a new round have sprung up in the bottom of my heart overnight!

In the past, Emperor Wu was in the Li and Wu families, constantly swaying between Tang and Zhou, but now he has to hesitate and hesitate between the Li princes.

She is still alive with two sons, both of whom are her own sons and both have been emperors. The palms and backs of the hands are all meat, in fact, who is the reserve is mixed with advantages and disadvantages, so should Li Xian be established or Li Dan should be established? She can't always decide on this resolution!

If it is said that the legendary Martial Emperor, who has been bold and shrewd all his life, is very entangled and troublesome, it is really nothing more than this matter related to the establishment of the society and the future of the country's fortunes!

According to the eldest and youngest, Li Xian is a brother and should be a member of his own; But although Li Dan is the younger brother, he has lived in the imperial capital for a long time, and has been in the position of the emperor's heir.

Although supporting Li Dan is more disadvantageous to Emperor Wu than supporting Li Xian, because after all, Li Dan is in the imperial capital and his power is also in the imperial capital, if it is reinstated, I am afraid that it will affect many opposing trends; However, although the old department of the East Palace in Li Xian's old days is scattered now, the people are alive, and once they are restored, they will be closed, and the situation they will face at that time is actually the same as before......

What a dilemma! And this Lichu has been quite particular since ancient times, the most correct decision must be made, and there must be no mistake in the pool! There are too many lessons from the past, if you make a wrong step and get it wrong, the whole game of chess will be destroyed overnight!

However, this is really the luck of Emperor Wu, at this time, he is as smart as Li Dan, and he understands his mother's inner thoughts, those deep and shallow concerns before and after, very clearly and thoroughly in his heart; And over the years, because he is in the capital of God, in the deep whirlpool of the supreme place of power, he has already put this government. I can see the word rule clearly, and I have already made up my mind to go all the way to the end of the hermit!

Therefore, at this time, he chose to retreat and take the initiative to let Xian.

For about a month, the emperor's heir Li Dan repeatedly neglected Emperor Wu to take the initiative to promote his brother Li Xian to become the crown prince, and during this period, he went on a hunger strike from time to time to refuse water, and insisted on asking his mother to support his brother with faith.

The imperial heir of one of the parties made such an attitude, which obviously reduced the worries in Emperor Wu's heart a lot in an instant! He also took Shangguan Wan'er and gently advised Emperor Wu to conform to the will of the imperial heir and fulfill the emperor's filial piety and loyalty. In this way, after a short period of prospect analysis and weighing the pros and cons, Emperor Wu finally made up his last decision before the dust settled - to fulfill the filial piety and modesty of the emperor's heir Li Dan, and to appoint Li Xian, the king of Luling, as the prince!

Emperor Wu is not a simple woman, and it is far more than a simple "government. "Governing the family" can cover her. She has always been resourceful and thoughtful, and often stands in a different perspective that others cannot see or ignore, and does everything she can to sort out the situation in the style of a wise man.

For example, when he finally chose to support Li Xian as the prince, on the one hand, it seems that he intends to fulfill Li Dan, and it seems that there is no essential difference between the two sons, no matter who they are, but the inner essence of the facts is far from being as clear and simple as it seems, but to put it bluntly, if you think about it deeply, it is not so complicated. In the final analysis, it's just one sentence: Emperor Wu doesn't want to quit the front desk and live in seclusion, she still wants to stabilize her current status. In this regard, it is obvious that the restoration of Li Dan is very likely to be carved up by him and gradually weaken the real power; And the restoration of Li Xian, who has been exiled for many years and has scattered forces, will not pose a huge threat to her powerful position!

Of course, we do not reject the existence of human feelings, never exclude them, and there is no need to doubt the authenticity of such feelings; Family, friendship, love, righteousness...... Many, many kinds of feelings.

But remember, affection and exploitation are never completely opposed; On the contrary, they always complement each other and always go hand in hand!

Whether the years in Miyagi are raging or calm, time always passes quickly. When the new winter of this year came, it seemed that the air had not yet completely dissipated the thoughts of the whole sprinkling golden autumn, which was not the fastest compared to the usual, but it was undoubtedly the most bone-chilling one.

The whistling north wind with a momentum of breaking bamboo, raging in the carved curtains and windows, layer by layer, rolling and grinding, so easily opened the depth of field around the circulation!

Sure enough, a place far from the center of power is not necessarily sad, and the days of infinite hope that seem to be bitter and willing to be recalled to the capital may not be really joyful...... Li Xian suddenly thought like this, but in an instant, his mind was already dull, like a cold ice cube frozen by ice and snow.

The bright yellow background of the big inlay, and the Tianlong totem flaunt this supreme imperial majesty as unparalleled in the world, although the martial emperor in front of him is getting old in the years, but a blazing spirit is not declining.

The breeze moved shallowly, and her face that was not angry and self-righteous drew a slight contemptuous smile; Narrow-eyed, silently staring at the crown prince Li Xian kneeling in front of him, a pair of phoenix eyes like two cold swords, with a hint of ridicule on his lips, and his tone was low and powerful: "What, do you want to turn the sky upside down!" "According to such a natural deterrent of dragon power, the inadvertent shallowness is clearly so fierce.

This battle seems to have the evil and treacherous of urging to return, and it is like knocking on the mountain to test and deliberately ridicule. But either way is bad in the end!

At this time, a whistling north wind broke through the sky and staggered! Xian's thoughts turned quickly, and he hurriedly bowed his head and bowed before being detained: "The son doesn't dare, the son knows his mistake, and the son ...... accept the guilt" A series of modest and slightly timid overly cautious sentences were complained about one after another. Just admit your mistakes, no more words, and never stop.

Baoding tea is idle, and the faint sandalwood incense in the beast-shaped incense burner is overflowing, little by little, wisps and wisps, all of which are so refreshing and ancient Zen flavors, which are clearly very different from the sense of solemnity that circulates around and continues to heat up.

However, in such a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, it seems that Tao Taoran is slightly intoxicated with people's perception and finds the delicate and soft corner of the bottom of his heart that has been put aside for many days. Emperor Wu closed his eyes and made a long breath deeply, as if he tried his best to suppress the anger that had just come out: "Don't be suspicious of you, you can see for yourself the good things your children and your beloved son-in-law have done!" After a pause, he raised his hand and slapped it at the few in front of him, and his voice suddenly rose violently, "You go back to discipline the child for me!" "Vigorous and neat, like thunder startled the cold winter light of the hall! The flipped dragon embroidered gold thread of the wide cloud sleeves danced in the air, and between the ups and downs of the words, the martial emperor suddenly slapped his body together and slapped his palm on the small table of the red sandalwood carved pine crane.

Li Xian trembled again, at this moment there were only patches of blank space left in his mind; Other than that, all that is left is the stiff and mechanical knock leader! After a while, as if he had finally escaped from the wolf's den, he was even frightened and ran, but he admittedly did not dare to run, so he tried his best to suppress his mood and suppress the rising fear that he had no interest but could not do it, and left the palace.

"Brush-" Suddenly, it happened that the eaves of the hall with overlapping glazed gold tiles, there was a long-precipitated dust mottled by the momentum of the wind, and the dust debris made a dense rain curtain generally fell and turned into a dust rain, which fell like a weave with a cold breath.

Accompanied by a flock of unrecognizable migratory birds with weeping wings skimming across the dark gray sky, Wan'er stood in the courtyard, taking in the ground, the sky, the human situation and everything in her eyes, and just silently watched the time of year after year sparsely burned into ashes between her fingers. The aggregation and dispersion of all things are all so logical and orderly, and slowly only the feathered mind is hidden in the dark corner that cannot be seen, and suddenly in a lonely eternal night that is caught off guard, it makes some unwillingness to linger and the obsession of immortality.

Turning her eyes lightly, although the divine light in these eyes has always been very indifferent, if Xu can't hide the brightness, it will still be revealed inadvertently at some times. Facing the prince Li Xian, who rushed out of the inner hall in a panic and escaped, she understood with a slender heart. Bow your head, just sigh.

Now this god-like woman who is in a high position, holding the sun, moon and stars in her hands, and her status has long exceeded the most extreme position in a woman's life, no matter how reluctant she is, the Martial Emperor is already old. No matter how empty a person is, holding the sun and the moon in his hands, he cannot escape the erosion of the years and the fate of the same fate.

There has never been an escape, never an escape. As long as it is a person, Emperor Wu is not exempt from vulgarity.

And once this person gets older, his temper will gradually become cloudy, and there will always be so signs when there is nothing to do, or there will be no signs of unsatisfactory unpleasantness. In addition, Emperor Wu was originally a strong person, and her strength seeped out of the bone marrow, with an innate inability to disobey, those domineering, and a habit that she gradually developed little by little when she was doing things and doing things the day after tomorrow.

For Emperor Wu, majesty and decency are more important than anything else. No one in this world has ever dared to challenge her authority, not even at all! Nobody, no!

And the crown prince Li Xian's sons and daughters, plus a son-in-law, this time it can be said that they have completely poked at the depths of Emperor Wu's heart that are absolutely untouchable. Fear......
