Chapter 53: Waiting and Disdain
Xingqing Palace!
"Is Jingyuan here?"
Li Longji woke up in a daze, and the first thing he muttered was this.
The wrinkles on Gao Lishi's worried face were piled up, and he comforted: "It's fast, it's fast!" ”
He was a little helpless, Liangzhou Guzang was thousands of miles away from Hexi.
In the past, it would have taken half a month to run just the distance. Now, because of the repair of Wusheling and the opening of the Longshan Ancient Road, the distance between the two places has been greatly shortened, but it will take ten days.
Whether Pei Min comes back or not, it is not enough to conclude whether he dares to come or not, let alone come to Chang'an in the past two days.
It's just that Li Longji has been asleep for longer than he has been awake now, and he can't tell the time and day, but as long as he wakes up, no matter day or night, the first thing he asks must be whether Pei Min has come back.
Colliers could only respond with "It's almost fast".
Li Longji's critical illness can be concealed for a while, but he cannot hide it for the rest of his life.
As time passed, many ministers became apprehensive.
Li Longji, as a generation of Ming monarchs, was the backbone of the Tang Dynasty.
Even if he has been a little slack in recent years, many ministers of civil and military affairs still respect him very much, and they feel at a loss when they learn that he is abnormal.
The prescient people have already begun to think otherwise, and it is essential to tie up with the prince.
But when I think of the crown prince Li Yan, many civil and military forces are big for a while.
Li Yangan is really mediocre and has no merit. has been the crown prince for a while, and his performance is worse than that of the prince Li Ying in the past.
Although the former prince Li Ying is really kind and easy to listen to people's words, he also has some sense of existence.
Under the guidance of his great teacher, he has also dealt with some things. In the past, Li Longjidong went to Mount Tai to seal Zen, and with the help of Song Jing, he handed in a qualified answer sheet.
But Li Yan?
He is weak and has no opinions. There was a joke before.
Li Yan's official wife Wei is Li Longji's crown princess, but Li Yan dotes on a concubine named Zhou.
This concubine is jealous and makes everyone know.
Li Yan didn't dare to offend Wei, and he was reluctant to Zhou, so he was in a dilemma, one head, not two people inside and outside.
A prince who can't even manage his own family affairs well, still expects to manage the world well?
The civil and military officials didn't take this prince much in their eyes before, after all, Li Longji's temperament was well known.
Li Yan is named the crown prince, but whether he can be the last is not certain at all.
This is also the effect that Li Longji wants, he doesn't want the internal strife of many princes during Li Shimin's Zhenguan period to repeat, and he doesn't want the prince to share the power in his hands.
Therefore, he almost ignored the prince, and even knocked one or two from time to time.
Whoever wants to get close to the prince will be unlucky.
This also caused many civil and military forces to have no contact with the prince at all, and at this critical time, they all became blind.
Li Yan was even more at a loss.
Originally, he, the prince, had some ornamental meaning, his father didn't hurt, and his mother didn't love him, but suddenly there was such a change, and he couldn't accept it and adapt to it.
Fortunately, Li Yan lives in the East Palace, and ordinary officials cannot enter and exit since childhood, and only royal officials of a certain grade are qualified to meet the prince in the East Palace.
But in Chang'an, there is never a shortage of royal officials, even if the East Palace blocks a large number of people, there are still countless entrances and exits.
Li Yan has never seen this kind of scene, he is in a hurry, and he does not have the slightest kingly spirit.
Li Yan lay stiffly on the bed with a leisurely expression, like a dead fish.
"Prince!"
Li Heng led Li Yuanhong into the main hall.
Seeing Li Yan's cowardice, Li Heng suddenly pulled Li Yuanhong out and said, "His Royal Highness doesn't seem to be there, maybe in the courtyard." ”
Li Yuanhong had already seen Li Yan, but he still turned around and went out with Li Heng's strength, shook his head and sighed, and said in his heart: "That's it, how to hold the helm of the world and sit on the world?" ”
Li Heng pulled Li Yuanhong to walk around the courtyard, talking about the current situation, with an expression of worry about the future of the Tang Dynasty, and said: "Li Xiang, my father Emperor Ji has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely turn the corner." It's just that during the time he recovered, I must not be chaotic within the court. Chaos is in danger in the world! Above the temple, there is Li Xiang in charge, and he can put a hundred hearts, but facing outward, those who hold heavy troops have to be cautious. ”
Li Heng's words spoke to Li Yuanhong's heart.
Li Yuanhong has always been worried about being strong on the outside and weak on the inside, even if he reconciles with Pei Min, the core intention remains the same, and he sighed: "This matter is indeed a disaster for me." ”
Li Heng said: "I have discussed this matter with His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness also feels that my father is too indulgent to the border marshal, so that he neglects the people's livelihood. At present, our dynasty attaches too much importance to the military, and most of the state taxes are used to raise the army, and the people of the world have not received practical convenience. Military spending should be reduced so that it can be used to improve people's livelihoods. ”
Li Heng said that the head is the Tao.
Li Yuanhong couldn't help but nod, with his intelligence, how could he not see that this was what Li Heng meant at all?
Looking at Li Heng, who was neither humble nor arrogant, thinking of Li Yan's salted fish-like posture before, he couldn't help but say in his heart: "If King Zhong is the future crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, the world will be decided." ”
The two chatted all the way, went around in a circle, and returned to the main hall.
Li Yan had already sorted out his clothes and waited for Li Yuanhong at this time.
Li Yuanhong told Li Yan about some things in his temple.
Li Longji began to delegate power very early.
Therefore, he is critically ill this time, and many things in the temple are still going on in an orderly manner.
As the prime minister, Li Yuanhong turned the object of major events into the crown prince.
Li Yan, like the former prince, had never been in contact with government affairs before, and he listened to it in a fog.
If it weren't for Li Heng helping to mention some points, Li Yan wouldn't have been able to understand many places.
Li Yuanhong shook his head lightly, walked out of the East Palace, glanced back at the East Palace, and pulled out the cold in his heart, how can this prince take on the big responsibility?
At this moment, in the East Palace, Li Heng apologized to Li Yan with a look of chagrin.
"It's for my brother, isn't it, Li Xiang came too suddenly, and my brother didn't have time to inform Brother Yan, so Brother Yan made a fool of himself."
Li Yan shook his head and said, "The third brother is too polite, if it weren't for the third brother's busyness, I don't know how ugly I would be." I really can't do this position as the prince of the East Palace, and I haven't been able to stabilize for a day all these years. I only hope that my father can recover soon...... Forgive yourself from this sin. ”
The position of the crown prince is popular with everyone's eyes, but Li Yan here has no feeling of remembrance at all, as if he is a burden.
Li Heng couldn't help but hum in his heart: "What I crave in my dreams, my younger brother actually disdains." "It really annoys him.
Looking at Li Yan, who was not enough to achieve great things, a trace of longing flashed in Li Heng's eyes, compared to seeking the supreme position from Li Longji's hands, it was much easier to snatch it from his incompetent younger brother.
