Li Fu asked three questions in a row, throwing out all the doubts in his heart, hoping to get answers here in Dazai.

Dazai looked at Li Fu's appearance, smiled, and then said to Li Fu seriously: "I know you have a lot of questions in your heart, but there are some things that I can't tell you for the time being, and you haven't grown up yet." ”

After saying this, he stood up, walked over to Li Fu and sat down. smiled and said, "Let me tell you the general ins and outs first."

Li Fu couldn't help but feel a little lost, but he still nodded respectfully.

Without any foreshadowing, Dazai patiently answered Li Fu.

"Your master's name is Li Bai, he is not only the master of the dynasty, but also my junior brother. is also the dean of the Shangling Academy, and the head of today's Ce Mansion. In other words, you are my nephew. He is also one of the candidates for the successor of the next Three Princes. ”

"Sixteen years ago, however, he did something that we were so strongly opposed that he stayed away from the court. Later, we found out that he did the right thing back then. ”

"Since he is now letting you return to the Eastern Capital, it means that he still has unfinished business, and he wants you to help him continue to finish it. As for what it is, you will find out later. However, you are the only person in our current line who has confirmed the identity of a disciple, so Taibao and I will naturally take care of it in the Eastern Capital. In the matter of Chang'an Street, there are already many courtiers who are shouting to punish you severely. Taibao is in a hurry to enter the palace for this matter, and he hasn't come out yet. ”

"And you don't have to pay attention to these, there are me and Taibao in the Eastern Capital. Wait until Emperor Wuhou returns from the northern defense line. Presumably, in this eastern capital, no one will deal with you openly. But you still need to be cautious, those big families secretly see an endless stream of unsavory methods. ”

"As for the marriage on the Nanchu side...... My brother has already told me about this in his letter. That was the Nanchu side, and the alliance with my Tang Dynasty had been made in the early years. The current Datang is far less powerful than before. The foundation was almost exhausted in those battles for imperial power, and he was no longer able to deal with the surrounding enemies at the same time. Rong Di in the north has been harassing the frontier all the year round, and the barbarian emperors in the northwest have always coveted the land of our Tang Dynasty. Beiyan has gradually grown stronger over the years. It seems that he has secretly colluded with Rong Di. On the border of Southern Chu, my Datang has always been in no danger to defend the pass, once a war breaks out, Datang....will fall into a huge disaster. ”

"So, twenty years ago, the royal family had signed an alliance with Nan Chu. My Tang Dynasty married a princess to the royal family of Southern Chu, and Southern Chu will also send a princess to make peace. But in the royal family, there is no suitable prince now, a few years ago, Nan Chu sent an envoy to discuss this matter, and was willing to modify the conditions for marrying a princess: whether it is the prince and heir of the state and county. It is also a noble mansion with more than five generations of inheritance in the Eastern Capital, and they are all among the candidates. In other words, no matter which family the princess of Nanchu marries, it is the mansion of the important ministers in my Tang Dynasty. ”

Speaking of this, Lord Dazai paused, looked at Li Fu with a somewhat complicated expression and said: "But there are many forces in the court, and some of them have a secret heart of disobedience, I am afraid that if the princess of Nanchu marries into the mansion of those people, it is exactly in line with Nanchu's wishes, and it will cause disaster to my Tang Dynasty in the future." Senior brother sent you to Dongdu at this time, much earlier than the original plan, I guess, this should be the reason. ”

Li Fu had been listening carefully to Dazai-sama's narration, and his heart was shocked. It seems that the DPRK is not as he imagined, or even worse.

No wonder the master had been anxious for a few days before his departure. No wonder he wanted to cut off the handsome flag in front of the Shangguan Mansion as soon as he arrived in the Eastern Capital. Even for such a big matter, no one in the Eastern Capital has come to embarrass him, and even the royal family has not made any noise now. It turned out that all this was arranged by the Master.

But why did the master leave the Eastern Capital sixteen years ago?

Dazai didn't say that this conversation was not as Li Fu imagined, Dazai's words were cloudy and foggy, and there were countless deep meanings hidden in them, which needed to be carefully pondered in order to realize the truth. But those buried deep meanings are exactly what Li Fu wants to know.

"Is there anything else you want to ask me?" Dazai looked at Li Fu's confused expression and pondered for a moment and said.

There are a lot of questions I want to ask, but Li Fu doesn't know where to start. Not only have the original mysteries not yet been revealed, but now there are many new mysteries.

Li Fu thought about what Dazai said just now, and there were a few details in it that Li Fu didn't quite understand. After pondering slightly, he said to Dazai with a serious expression: "Why did the master stay away from the Eastern Capital back then? What really happened that night sixteen years ago? Does it have anything to do with my background? ”

Dazai seemed to recall those things back then, his expression became a little emotional, and he said slowly: "Those things back then, it's been a long time since I talked about it, and if you trace the source, I'm afraid you have to start with Emperor Taizong." It's nothing more than about imperial power....as for you..... that thing is indeed about you. Teacher Toast once said to his junior brother back then, your life is very bad. ”

"My life? What's wrong...."Li Fu was even more puzzled, it seems that the hidden things in this are far more serious than he imagined!

"Two hundred years ago, your father was friends with your junior brother, Emperor Wuhou, and His Majesty, who was still a prince. But later, because of something, the four began to drift apart. Twenty years ago, His Majesty wanted to conquer Beiyan, perhaps because of this incident, the originally unstable relationship between the four of them became even more rigid. In the end, the junior brother washed most of Chang'an Avenue in blood ..... that night sixteen years ago. ”

"What!" Li Fu looked at Dazai in shock, this matter, the master had never mentioned it to himself.

Dazai looked at him and said calmly, "Although it was more than ten years ago, but now that I think about it, it looks like it happened yesterday." The pattern of the Eastern Capital has also changed dramatically because of that incident. At that time, we all thought that the junior brother was wrong, but now it seems that the junior brother was true back then. It's just that the means are too drastic, or even too impatient. However, this also ensured the stability of the Tang Dynasty for nearly two decades. ”

Li Fu calmed down his shocked heart and asked, "What about now?" Now in the Tang Dynasty, is the situation already unstable? ”

"It's not that far, but Your Majesty is getting old and favoring Shangguan Yan, and the Shangguan family is about to become the second martial artist. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that there will be a second holy queen in my Datang. If there is a second holy queen, then the princes of various places will inevitably start up civil strife, and for today's Tang Dynasty, it can no longer withstand internal strife. ”

Li Fu listened to these words, was silent for a long time, and asked: "But you are Dazai-sama and your Majesty's imperial teacher, if you advise Your Majesty, will Your Majesty not listen?" ”

"Your Majesty now is no longer your Majesty of the past. If there was still a glimmer of hope, the junior brother would not have acted like that back then. This time, I will send you to the Eastern Capital early, so that you can take over the Tiance Mansion as soon as possible, so that in the future, when the Datang Mansion is about to collapse, Tiance still has a younger generation who can lead Tiance to ensure the stability of Datang. ”

Hearing this, Li Fu's expression was a little dazed, and until this time he still couldn't help but understand the plan of the master and the others. Could it be that you can save Datang by yourself?

There are four powerful armies in the Tang Dynasty: Tiance, Shence, Cangyun Xuanjia Army, and Yuling Army. Among them, there are four great martial marquis, eight great generals, and no less than 30 military candidates with outstanding military achievements, as well as these hundreds of generals, why do the three guilds put the bag on their bodies?

I don't know how long it took, but he woke up from his confusion, looked at Dazai, and asked, "Why did you choose me?" ”

His voice was tense, with a hint of hoarseness and dryness.

"Because you are the most suitable person and the only one who is qualified to inherit the Tiance Mansion." Dazai looked at Li Fu, his eyes were calm and deep, with a hint of kindness and forbearance.

The only successor of Tiance Mansion?
