Don't look at Li Dan and Li Zhi are the same age, but they are only twenty years old, but they have been smart and mature since they were children, and they often exchange experiences with their elders.

Gaozong regarded him as the most favored descendant, and often asked him to go to the upper study to wait and read, so he was also familiar with the king of Linhuai County, who has been in and out of the upper study frequently in recent years.

And now the fourth prince Yu Wang, has also maintained close correspondence with him, if it is a lie to say that the king of Linhuai County has no private thoughts, because he has always regarded Li Dan as the biggest backer in the next few decades, he is also extremely looking forward to that person's calm style of doing things.

At present, there are not many people who know this relationship between the two, and there is no second person in the county king's mansion who knows, Li Zhi's son can say such shocking words, and if the person who finally leads to it is replaced by someone else, he may be the king of Linhuai County or laugh at it, or be angry, but Li Dan is from Li Zhi's mouth, which is very strange.

Everything is because of this person's words, which at first glance sounds absurd, but the foothold of his words fell on the fourth son, which is enough to show that the previous inferences are by no means nonsense, because only the fourth son, Li Dan, can draw the most perfect end to everything that happens or may happen.

Gaozong has a total of eight sons, and the four characters of the Empress Wu, only Li Dan is the most valued by the king of Linhuai County, and more importantly, before the divine doctor Sun Simiao went into hiding, he repeatedly pointed out that this person should have the appearance of ascending the throne in the future, which is also the behind-the-scenes thrust of its close connection with it all the year round.

Now that the mystery of the divine doctor's mouth has been verified again and again, he can't help but regard Li Zhi's seemingly intentional or unintentional words as being linked to his mysterious talent bloodline.

"Hehe, text, do you know that your name Li Zhi was once regarded as a jealousy with the king? And the origin of the name with the same sound and different words, no one knows that it is the decree of Gaozong Shengshang? I want to census the genealogy of the surname Li and give the surname to everyone, and it was also the fourth son Li Dan who was born in the same year, and you happened to be born that year, so Gao Zong, who was hunting in Fengwu County, asked about this! It turns out that you are not the name of Li Zhi, but you were positioned by the old marquis Li Xi, and said with a smile: I just happened to be in the group with my son, the word misfortune is the first, and the blessing flows with him, if I am not good-intentioned, I will definitely come here to ask your family for the blame! ”

"Then my ancestor is not frightened?" The king of Linhuai County looked left to talk about him, and Li Zhi must know that he had a follow-up, so he simply smiled at him.

"Not yet! The old marquis pounced and fell to the ground, fortunately, your Li family can be given the surname Li, it is the old marquis who was Taizong's personal guard earlier, and he is the same doctor as Gao, and he has been familiar with each other since he was a child, so Gaozong is completely a simple joke! At that time, I saw that the old marquis was really scared, and I also knew that I had made a mistake for a while, thinking that I was afraid that your Li family would be blamed by the court of future generations, so I had a whim: Your Li family in Fengwu County and I are our own family members who know the roots, I think it is better to change your grandson Li Xi to Li Zhi, I don't think it is wrong to be in line with my own name, on the contrary, my Li Zhi's name is contaminated with the joy of the newborn, and the luck of the sky is not known from now on! Your Majesty and other ministers can listen to the order, this son personally gave me the name of the emperor, called Li Zhi, but I want to ask for some joy and wealth, you can't hate this family because of this! ”

"Why haven't I heard of this?"

"Just because this name is too big, before Gaozong and his party can get out of the Fengwu County area, the relevant departments of the imperial court will find your ancestor and strictly tell the old marquis that he is bound to block this matter and not leak it to the outside world! Later, I heard that those people were also for the good of your family, otherwise spreading it everywhere would always lead to big trouble that could have been avoided! The old marquis must have been reluctant, but with Chrysostom first, of course he didn't dare to make changes easily, so Li's name remained! ”

"But my name does have similarities with Gaozong, why hasn't anyone mentioned it in twenty years?"

"That's because no one has ever promoted Gaozong's name for decades, even if his old man has not been in government for a long time, and Li Dan has released the wind to think about this matter, because those who don't know are taboo, and it's normal that you can't hear relevant arguments in your ears!"

Li Zhiwan didn't expect that the origin of his name was actually related to the emperor of the current dynasty, although this connection is not yet known to be good and bad, but for the soul from the past life, it is undoubtedly a great surprise.

But he thought to himself, does this have anything to do with what I said earlier?

Xu guessed his question, and the king of Linhuai County further explained, "There is a key point in my words, that is, why do you need Li Dan to intervene in this matter!" Do you want to understand the reason? ”

"You're saying that everything is instructed by the Holy Lord?"

"That's it! In fact, two years before Li Dan and you were born, the saint was already often dizzy and dizzy, affecting the handling of government affairs. Empress Wu took the opportunity to meddle in politics and began to participate in national affairs. In recent years, as the Holy Sacrament has become more and more unbearable, she has accelerated the actions of her subordinates, on the one hand, to eliminate dissidents and clear the obstacles on the political road; On the one hand, it organizes forces and cultivates private forces to prepare for its own further rise to power. Luoyang has been overhauling palaces and Buddhist temples for the past two years, and her ambitions have not been successfully concealed, or she has no intention of hiding it from others. ”

In the middle of his words, the king stopped his words and looked at Li Zhi, obviously waiting for him to continue.

"Do you mean that the Holy Lord is also well aware of it, and has been cultivating his favorite son intentionally or unintentionally?"

The county lord nodded approvingly, "You only guessed half right, not only cultivating the prince Li Dan, but also protecting him!" Like you, the fourth son is twenty years old, even if his heart is mature, he will always give people a sense of childishness in name. If he is appointed as the successor, it is one of them that the Empress Wu will continue to blatantly interfere in politics, and it is one of them that the fourth prince will find an opportunity to overthrow the successor, and the fourth prince will be relatively more difficult, because she knows that most of the resources of the loyal courtiers of the current saint are in the hands of this person! At this time, among the four sons born to Empress Wu, the eldest son Li Hong died suddenly, and the second son was deposed as a concubine for the crime of rebellion the year before last and exiled to Bazhou. After the third son Li Xian was deposed, Li Xian was made the crown prince, this person has always been rumored to be weak and incompetent, and there have long been calls for the deposition of the prince in the court, if you are the queen of martial arts, who will you choose to succeed to the throne? ”

"Of course, it is the third son Li Xian, who poses the least threat to the Empress Wu!"

Gaozong Li Zhi has a total of eight sons, the first four sons of the non-martial queen, in addition to the eldest son Li Zhong was given death by Gaozong, the other three were also degraded by the martial queen one after another, in fact, only Li Xian and Li Dan have the possibility of succession.

"The children can be taught! Today's saint deliberately highlights the purpose of Li Dan's son, which is to push him to a situation where he is deeply feared by the martial queen, so that he can have personal power to develop and grow! The Holy One is young and wise, generous and kind, and a brother, because he misses the old feelings very much. Paying attention to you, a small Jiupin countryman, is only because the name is the reason he gave it, because there are too many old ministers and old ministers who need him to take care of secretly, and most of them are not clear to the fourth son. In this matter of you, you can see the mercy of our Lord Holy, and you must remember his goodness. ”

"What Uncle Li taught me is that I will never forget the grace of the Holy Lord!"

"Then have you ever straightened out the potential role of Li Dan and his people in the future?" He kept asking Li Zhi, but he didn't have the idea of edification.

"In my mind, this move by the Holy Lord is of far-reaching significance, and he is already seeking the possibility of Li Dan's succession in the next ten or even decades!"

"Yes, this is the topic of conversation that his old man has frequently asked me to enter the palace in the past two years. It's top secret, and I think you'll know it! Not only me, a more peripheral candidate who can barely be regarded as his descendant, as far as I know, a certain faction at the level of the prince was secretly summoned to Beijing by the Holy Lord a few years ago, and the purpose of telling me was only to comfort, because it was almost inevitable that I would be sent away from Chang'an City, and how to lie down and taste courage was the old man's good intentions! ”

"So my previous presumptuous inference, boy, just fits your old plan?"

"Exactly! The key point is that you can clearly bring up the matter of the fourth son, Li Dan, which shows that you have been carefully interpreting the current situation. I have to admit that you have a talent in this area, and you get to the heart of the problem! Otherwise, if I were someone else, I would have brushed my sleeves away a long time ago! ”

Li Zhixin was secretly ashamed, where did he have any talent, but he just remembered more about the history class when he was in school.

It would be too stupid to obtain information about the two worlds and not know how to proceed next.

"Despite this, I still have to remind you that since you have no intention of pursuing a career, you must not get involved in any matters in the court in the future! Even if it is a matter of Uncle Li and my future life and death, you and Qingqi must draw a clear line in time, and you can do this? ”

"Father, how can this be?" The county lord of Qingqi was frightened by the words of the county king, and couldn't help but exclaim at this time, "Even if you give up everything you already have in your hands, you can't watch something happen to you!" ”

The daughter's eager attitude, the king of the county saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart, "Qingqi, you listen to how your brother interprets the text!" ”

Li Zhi smiled, "Sister Qingqi, Uncle Li's lying salary is not something that we can solve with all our help, and even if it is strong in business, can it openly conflict with the imperial court?" ”

"This is my real father! You can't just ask me to sit back and watch, can you? ”

"Don't worry! I'm also a member of the Linhuai County Royal Mansion now, how can I let it go? Rescue is not a desperate solution, the most correct way is to redeem yourself from now on, not to be temporarily panicked! ”

"Hehe, let's talk about it, how should your Uncle Li redeem himself in advance?" The king of the county was very interested, and looked at Li Zhi with great interest.

"It's still the old saying, if there is something abrupt in my words, you must not be angry!"

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!" The king of Linhuai County did not think so.
