The young emperor wearing a dragon robe ascended the city tower to comfort the frightened people, "The sinner Wei has been destroyed, the people don't need to panic, my Datang will usher in prosperity." ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live—"

Next to the young emperor is the king of Xiang, nearly half a hundred years old King Xiang bears his hand, his eyes sweep on the people under the city tower, his eyes slowly move up, looking into the distance, in front of him is a great river, who knows whether the wind and rain are swaying or the peaceful and prosperous world ahead?

…………

A few days later.

The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, the national mourning period had not passed, and the coffin of the first emperor was still placed in the palace, and the young emperor sat in the east.

Princess Taiping is rare to go to court, waiting for the ministers to be in place, Princess Taiping turned her phoenix eyes, turned around and swept to the ministers behind her, and said loudly: "The country is uneasy, the young emperor is too young to preside over the society, so the young emperor decided to pass on the throne to the king." ”

The courtiers below were also taken aback, and immediately exploded into the pot and talked about it.

At the right time, Liu Youqiu, a strategist of Li Longji's party, immediately took out the edict of succession and read it aloud: Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says that the first emperor collapsed suddenly, returned to the five elements, inherited the emperor's life, and the saints rested......

The young emperor on the seat finally reacted, his face changed, and he suddenly became uneasy.

After a while, after the holy decree was read, Princess Taiping saw that the young emperor was still pestle, so she stepped forward in a few steps, raised her sharp phoenix eyes, and said coldly: "King Xiang is the desire of the people, child, this position is not yours!" ”

With that, she reached out and picked up the stunned young man and pulled it aside.

"Long live, please—" Princess Taiping immediately turned to the Prime Minister.

Seeing this, the courtiers also bowed to the prime minister, "Long live the seat—"

"This, this ......" King Xiang looked at the people in the hall, his expression was in a dilemma, "I have no success in the society, this time I ambushed Wei, I didn't do anything, I deserve it......"

"You are now the most suitable candidate for the throne, please consider King Xiang for my Tang Sheji."

"Long live, please—"

Li Longji stepped forward and said: "Father, you are the blood of Gaozong, your succession can be described as orthodox, now the situation is grim, the Tang Dynasty is in ruins, please also ascend the throne, the orthodox outline, open my Tang Dynasty Yaoshi." ”

"Long live, please—"

King Xiang sighed and nodded, "Since this is the case, I will shoulder this heavy responsibility and revitalize the Tang Dynasty with you." ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live—"

A.D. 710, June.

Prime Minister Li Dan ascended the throne, changed the year name to Jingyun, granted amnesty to the world, halved the people's taxes throughout the year, and the abdicated young emperor was named King Wen.

Li Longji led the men and horses to clean up the remnants of the Wei family, and nearly 100 people from Zong Chuke, Zong Xian and the Wei family were beheaded.

On that day, above the court, Xiao Zhizhong played, self-reflection, knowing that he was close to the sinner Wei, and was an in-law, the sin was unforgivable, and the saint gave him the death penalty.

Seeing that he was sincere, the saint remembered that he was framed by Wu Sansi at the beginning, and it was Xiao Zhizhong who protected him, thinking that he had helped him, and planned to be light.

"I often think of the time when Xiao Aiqing was the imperial history, just and upright, and repeatedly said bluntly at the risk of being condemned, I admired you very much at that time. In the matter of Wei Sinner, although you are wrong, you have also lost your only son because of it, so this can be regarded as your punishment. I remember that you have fulfilled your duties on weekdays, and I regret that you have lost your way and returned, and I will not investigate your guilt, and I will demote you to the history of Jinzhou and move away from Chang'an in the near future. ”

Xiao Zhizhong received the order, full of emotion, "Thank you for the grace of the saint not to kill, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

…………

The new emperor ascended the throne, and the next thing was to set up the crown prince.

The saint now has a total of five sons, and the eldest son Li Chengqi was made the crown prince as early as the first time the saint ascended the throne 27 years ago, and now that the saint has ascended the throne again, the best candidate for the prince should be him.

However, it is obvious that the most outstanding talent at the moment is the third son Li Longji.

For a moment, the courtiers fell into a state of entanglement and argument.

Unexpectedly, the eldest son Li Chengqi took the initiative to resign, and it was clear that the Tang Dynasty was in danger, and the position of the crown prince should be occupied by those who were capable, and it was the right thing to do to make Li Longji the prince.

In the face of Li Chengqi, Li Longji naturally pushed back, but the public opinion of the ministers seemed to be on Li Longji's side, and they all recommended Li Longji, who had made great contributions.

The saint also had the intention of the third son Li Longji in his heart, so he issued an edict: General Zuowei, Song Wang Chengqi, my eldest son, should have been established as the prince, but with the third son Li Longji has great merit in the society, everyone can see it, therefore, I give way with my sincerity, and my words must be done. The great duke of the world, honesty cannot be taken away. From the wish of heaven and man, Lilongji is the prince, and the instrument is Yongzhou Mu, Yangzhou Governor, Prince and Taishi, and 3,000 households are sealed, 5,000 sections of five-color silk are given, 20 fine horses, 10 slaves and maids, a large residential area, and 30 hectares of fertile land.

In this way, Li Longji finally became the crown prince.

The third son of the saint, Li Longji, was made the crown prince, and the rest of the sons were all crowned princes.

The crown prince Li Longji's original partner Wang was made the crown princess; Concubine Dong Zhi was established as a good woman, which is a positive third grade; The rest of the concubines are all good women, and they are four grades.

When the news came, Jing Ci and Yang Weiwei couldn't help but be surprised.

The Liangdi, who was set up as second only to the crown princess, turned out to be the only little lady who helped them in Changque Tower back then, Dong Zhi.

"Third sister, don't you think this is really incredible?"

In the Shengyuan, Jing Ci and Yang Weiwei sat opposite each other, and the two of them drank tea while talking about the dizzying new things recently.

Yang Weiwei chuckled, "Yes, it's really a vicissitude, I can't imagine that even she can win Li Sanlang's heart......"

"Seeing that Li Longji has become the crown prince, Princess Taiping will definitely not give up, and the throne of the Holy Lord is still pushed up by Princess Taiping in the final analysis."

"Jing Ci, Li Sanlang's next road must be more and more difficult, you must do your best to help him, and you must help him ascend to the throne." Yang Weixiao's eyes were blazing when she looked at Jing Ci, full of hope, and very determined.

"This is natural," Jing Ci looked at the third sister's expression, hesitated, and pursed her lips: "Third sister, you ...... Haven't you put him down yet? ”

"Heh, I don't know," Yang Weiwei smiled helplessly, her face returned to calm, "He has been transferred to Luzhou for a few years, I thought we would part, and there will be no intersection again." But now that he's back, I'm with him...... We are in Chang'an together, we are so close, isn't this fate? ”

Jing Ci wanted to speak and stopped, the third sister was too stupid, it had been so many years, she knew that it was useless for her to say anything.

"But the only difference is that he is now the crown prince, and he is even more unattainable." Yang Weiwei sighed lightly, but the little hope in her expression never extinguished even a little bit because of this.

…………

At dinner, the young girl told Jing Ci about today's news from the Guanyuan.

Yang Shouyan visited the East Palace and seemed to have reached some kind of consensus with the prince.

Eldest sister and Li Longji? What consensus can people from the two factions reach? Jing Ci didn't take this matter to heart.

Following.

Yang Shouyan sent someone to preach and invited Siniang to go to Guanyuan to discuss the matter of leaving the cabinet with the eldest lady.

Jing Ci was surprised, out of the cabinet? The eldest sister hit her head again......
