Looking at Li Chengqian's determined expression, Leng Feng sighed and slapped Li Chengqian lightly: "You father and son, you are all stubborn donkeys, but I admire your spirit of doing your best for the Tang Dynasty." Tell me, how are you going to clean up the situation? ”

Although the news of the emperor's illness did not spread, the silence brought by the sudden lockdown of the imperial palace was frightening enough.

Although the guards kept a low profile as much as possible, their whereabouts were still inevitably revealed. The train went straight from Chang'an to Dengzhou, and no matter how stupid people were, they could guess that the changes in the palace were related to the emperor. It is very likely that the emperor did not feel a cold by chance, but something big happened.

In the case of anxiety, each family can only clamp their tails fiercely, and even the lively Chang'an is much depressed.

Li Chengqian lowered his head and thought for a while before saying: "Abolish the queen, relatives must not be in power, otherwise all the nobles will attack it." As for my body, you can also see that it is not suitable to be an emperor again. Xiaohong is seventeen years old this year, and although he ascended the throne as emperor a little earlier, he will not have any problems if he is taken care of by you. ”

Hearing the word "take care", Leng Feng had a headache, sat on the edge of the bed and waved his hand repeatedly: "If you want to take care of him, Qingque Li Ke can't either?" You let me, an old guy who has been retired for many years, out of the mountain, have you ever thought about the impact it will have? Now that your master and I are the emperor's master, I can't do things casually with this identity, if I am promoted from the emperor's master to the emperor's master, tsk, what do you think your master's prestige will be? When the time comes, who will dare to gasp in front of me? ”

The higher the seniority, the more troublesome it is, especially when it comes to the court, and the seniority is sometimes a little heavier than power. Leng Feng made up his mind not to return to the court, and many people who pressed the emperor in history did not end well. Even if you get a good death, it is estimated that what is recorded in the history books is not very good.

As the first patriarch of the Leng family in Chang'an, Leng Feng must leave a good reputation in the history books, which is not something that personal subjective thoughts can influence.

was about to say something, but when Leng Feng turned his head, he couldn't help but shut his mouth.

Li Chengqian propped up his upper body and lowered his head to the bed, now that he was unconscious in his lower body, this was already the lowest posture he could make.

Leng Feng hurriedly stretched out his hand and dragged Li Chengqian up, and asked in surprise, "What are you going to do?" Just take care of Li Jiyuan, you will never find your master and my head, tell me clearly, what are your plans. ”

Li Chengqian said with tears in his eyes: "Master, the apprentice knows that you don't want to return to the court, but only you can do this." Only when you return to the court can you deter all the officials and nobles, only when you return to the court, can you ignore the rules and nothing, and only you can change the rules of choosing concubines, so that Xiaohong does not have to choose the queen on the concubine list. If Xiaohong's queen is still from the noble family, then my efforts will not bear fruit at all. Once the queen's candidate is a top wealthy family, it is still possible for relatives to interfere with power.

The disciple is not the emperor, and he can stand up to public opinion and stick to his own opinions. Now you are the only one who can help Xiaohong! ”

Leng Feng sat on the edge of the bed again, not knowing what to say.

Li Chengqian's decentralization was right, the emperor alone was no longer enough to manage this huge empire. But his separation of powers also has a negative impact, for example, now, even if he wants to interfere in his son's choice of concubines, he needs to rely on forces outside the royal family.

In the face of those complicated rules, even Li Chengqian, the emperor, is powerless.

Looking at Li Chengqian's hopeful gaze, Leng Feng still couldn't shake his head. The wish of the apprentice on the eve of abdication, he was reluctant to refuse.

Seeing that the master finally nodded, Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief.

For the stability of future generations, he still has a lot of things to do, but unfortunately, his body is no longer enough to support him to stay in the position of emperor, and the rest can only be handed over to his son.

Sun Simiao walked in, still carrying a bowl of pungent smelling decoction.

Walking out of the hall gate, Leng Feng glanced back at Li Chengqian and shook his head helplessly.

Without waiting for Leng Feng to return to the world's manor, for more than half a month, the emperor finally issued a will: a Zen throne ceremony will be held after ten days, and at the same time, King Xiaoyao will be crowned as an auxiliary king, assisting the new emperor until the new emperor reaches the age of twenty.

As soon as the will came out, Chang'an, which had been suppressed for more than 20 days, became alive again. It seems that the emperor has nothing serious, and he can still hold a Zen throne ceremony. During the Zen ceremony, it is inevitable that many people will come to watch the ceremony, so you have to prepare in advance.

It was not only Xungui who breathed a sigh of relief, but also everyone in the Su family. From the day the emperor fell, all of them, men, women, children, and family masters and servants, were arrested and imprisoned. If the emperor really had any accidents, it would inevitably lead to a bloody storm. Now that the emperor is getting better, even if they are guilty, they can get a glimmer of life.

Leng Mansion was empty, and Leng Feng could only go to his son to live.

Leng Jing, who is in his forties this year, still doesn't look old, but his big belly hasn't been removed, and his weight has been slowly rising.

Looking at Leng Jing, who had just eaten two bowls of rice, Leng Feng sneered: "According to your father and me, your stomach is prompted by the banquet, and you don't have much appetite, as long as you cut off the banquet, you can reduce it sooner or later." ”

Leng Jing drank tea and said with a helpless smile: "In his position, many times he can't help himself, now the military department is in charge of the dispatch of the million-strong army, and the adjustment of official positions, it can be said that the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, such a position, naturally someone forcibly invites every banquet." ”

Leng Feng nodded, put down his chopsticks and said, "Then are you willing to put it down?" Tomorrow I will let the emperor release you, although the Lingnan side is stable, but many clans have not completely returned to the Tang Dynasty, you can try it when you go there to serve as a Gaozhou driver. ”

Leng Jing lowered his head, thought for a while and agreed.

The secretary of the military department was transferred to Gaozhou, and his official position can be said to have plummeted. But Leng Jing knew that the dynasty had never had a rule that father and son were both in the same dynasty and were both important ministers, and since his father was going to enter the court, his son would have to leave. Although it is just a gesture, many times this gesture can save a lot of trouble.

What's more, he is also enough to be an important minister, and it is not bad to go to the place to relax.

In Lingnan, where only the Feng family is the Duke of the Kingdom, he, the Protector of the Country, can walk sideways, and he is more free than in Chang'an.

After eating, Leng Feng instructed Leng Jing's housekeeper to go to Chang'an and clean up the house in Xiudefang.

How can the auxiliary king not live in Chang'an, although the current Chang'an is extremely noisy, but as a prime location, Xiudefang still retains the last piece of pure land. In the square market where every inch of land is valuable, there are only a few people who can settle here.
