Xuanzong's figure disappeared behind the side curtain, and the hall was full of civil and military affairs, each with his own thoughts. People are realistic, many people kneel down and send Xuanzong away and then turn around and leave, they have to plan in order to get the favor of the new master. Of course, there are also many old ministers who can't kneel for a long time with tears in their eyes, mourning and crying like mourning.

Wang Yuan turned around and left the hall of Sanhualou with an expressionless face. On the steps, Yan Zhenqing and Wei Jiansu chased after him, calling Wang Yuan's name all the way to the side of the rockery, and they were already six gods and no masters.

"Xiangguo stays, Xiangguo stays." Yan Zhenqing and Wei Jiansu finally grabbed the corner of Wang Yuan's clothes.

"What's the matter with the two of you?" Wang Yuan turned his head and asked with a smile.

Yan Zhenqing panted and asked, "What does Xiangguo want?" ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Go home and sleep well, what else can you do?" Your Majesty has become the emperor, and he has already said that he will no longer care about the affairs of the court, and he will no longer receive us. The imperial court is now in Lingzhou, and this is no longer the center of the imperial court, so we don't have to be busy. Go home when it's time to go home, sleep when it's time to sleep. Yan Zhongshu Wei Zuoxiang hasn't had a good rest for many days, so it's okay now, just go back and recuperate. ”

Yan Zhenqing stomped his feet and sighed: "Xiangguo, how can you still be in the mood to say such things?" The lower official thinks that there must be something strange about this matter. There was no warning before, why did a new emperor suddenly succeed to the throne? Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is something unspeakable. King Shou's move may be to force His Majesty to abdicate, which is a betrayal of his father. ”

Wang Yuan frowned and said: "Correct your title first, King Shou is no longer King Shou, you should be called Your Majesty." Your Majesty is not Your Majesty anymore, you should be called the Emperor. Your words are also a great rebellion, the Emperor Taishang personally admitted that he was located in King Shou, and King Shou's accession to the throne was a natural and righteous enthronement, and he was the legitimate ruler of my Tang Dynasty. ”

Yan Zhenqing frowned and said, "That's it, I admit that I was a little unscrupulous, it happened too suddenly, don't you have doubts?" ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "The wood has become a boat, the rice has become a cook, what else do you say?" ”

Yan Zhenqing sighed and said, "That's it, then what should we do now?" The new emperor's decree has not been issued, where do we go? ”

Wang Yuan thought for a while and said: "That's it, Yan Zhongshu, let's continue to do what we should do, the Emperor Taishang said, before the arrival of the holy decree, we are still in his position, and we need to perform our duties." Don't you leave it alone with the resettlement of refugees? No matter who succeeds to the throne as emperor, should the counterinsurgency be done? Do refugees need help? These things have nothing to do with who succeeds to the throne, they are all things that must be done. I said I was going to resign, but as long as I haven't resigned for a day, I'll do my duty. We should all be like this, the more we can't panic at this time, and we still have to do things. As for the existence of the institutions and yamen here, and how to adjust the positions of the personnel, the new emperor will definitely have instructions from the divine will. Then it will be done according to the will of God. There must be some chaos in the past few days, and there must be many ministers in Chengdu who want to go to Lingzhou to serve the new emperor. If you want to go, I won't stop you, and if you need a car escort, just come to me. But I won't go, and I'm determined to quit my position and put down the rebellion in peace. ”

Yan Zhenqing shook his head again and again and said, "I'm not leaving." What Xiang Guo said is very true, the more this time is, the more we must stick to this, the matter of helping the people is a major matter, and countering the rebellion is also a top priority. Whoever succeeds to the throne as emperor has to do these things. That's it, Xiangguo is at his own convenience, and the lower officials and others still have a lot of things to do, and the political hall is still the political hall, and if the subordinate officials dare to neglect their duties, I will punish them severely. ”

Wei Jiansu also nodded and said: "Xia Guan and Yan Zhongshu have the same idea, Xia Guan wants to restrain his subordinates and not allow them to leave at will." Rules are rules, and they are not allowed to lift their feet and leave. ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "That's it, I can't help you, but if you have any difficulties, you can come to me." Farewell. ”

Wang Yuan bowed his hand and strode away.

Yan Zhenqing and Wei Jiansu stood in the cold wind in a daze, watching Wang Yuan's figure get on the horse and leave surrounded by a group of guards, and they were speechless for a long time.

After a while, Yan Zhenqing sighed softly and said: "Xiangguo must be angry in his heart, I'm really worried about what he will do." Your Majesty...... No, how did things get to this point. The Emperor Taishang didn't show his mouth at all beforehand. Let's just do it, how arrogant and arrogant Wang Xiangguo can tolerate such concealment and insults? ”

Wei Jiansu said in a low voice: "Yes, this matter is obviously deliberately concealed by the Emperor Taishang. King Shou's move to secretly leave Chengdu was very suspicious. Wang Xiangguo knew that there must be something strange in it, but Xiangguo still respected the emperor after all, and did not make it clear. But contrary to your thoughts, I don't think Sangkook is so angry. Not...... With Xiangguo's wisdom, he shouldn't let things develop to this point. ”

Yan Zhenqing was stunned and said, "You mean...... Xiangguo knew that things would get to this point, but he didn't interfere at all and let the situation go bad? ”

Wei Jiansu smiled and said, "I didn't say that, it's all your own random speculation." I just think that with the power of Xiangguo, it will not be so negligent. ”

Yan Zhenqing pondered for a while, smacked his lips and said: "What you said is very reasonable, after you dialed it so little, I also seem to have smacked some taste." Jiannan Longyou is all in the hands of Xiangguo, Chengdu City is even more impenetrable, every move of the Emperor Taishang and the princes is probably under the nose of Xiangguo, and the people of Xiangguo are in Chengdu, how can they not even know that King Shou secretly left Chengdu? If Xiangguo wants to control these news, I am afraid that it will not take any effort to gain insight at all. But Xiangguo turned out to be extremely sluggish and let Li Mao leave Chengdu. On that day, he went to meet His Majesty to discuss the establishment of the country, but Xiangguo did not insist on his own opinion. His Majesty said that the agreement was postponed, and there was hardly any fierce opposition from Xiangguo. This is not the character of Xiang Guo. In the matter of Fang Xuan at the beginning, Xiang Guo was going to kill Fang Xuan in front of His Majesty, why did he become so timid now? It doesn't seem right. ”

Wei Jiansu smiled slightly: "Don't think about it, Xiangguo's mind is like the sea, you and I can't figure out what he thinks in his heart." ”

Yan Zhenqing didn't hear it, and thought to himself: "But if Xiangguo deliberately doesn't interfere in these things, it doesn't make sense." The ascension of the new emperor to the throne is not beneficial to the Xiangguo. There is a lot of dislike between His Majesty and Xiangguo, what is the benefit of doing this? On the contrary, it has increased a lot of chaos and variables, doesn't Xiangguo know this? What is he for? ”

Wei Jiansu sighed, looked at Yan Zhenqing, who was stunned, shook his head, and arched his hand: "Yan Zhongshu, the old man left first, and you don't have to think nonsense." As Xiangguo said, we will perform our duties in one day, and now people are panicking, and the old man wants to go back to the political hall. The situation is already like this, why do you want to do so much? You and I are both marginal people, so it's better not to think about it so much. Hey, my Datang is now full of holes, and the wind and rain are invading endlessly, you and I can't control the situation, or worry-free. Farewell. ”

Wei saw that Su was dressed and left quickly, leaving Yan Zhenqing, who was puzzled and muttering to himself, standing in the cold wind.

……

Wang Yuan left the Sanhua Building and went straight home. Dozens of horsemen arrived in front of the gate of the palace, Wang Yuan turned over and dismounted and handed over the reins of the horse to the guards around him to prepare to enter the mansion, suddenly, behind the big tree in front of the door, several figures appeared and walked towards Wang Yuan quickly.

The guards reacted immediately, and the three guards stepped forward with their hands on the hilt of their knives, and asked loudly, "Who is sneaky?" In front of the Xiangguo Mansion, idle people are far away from here, and there is no forgiveness for violators. ”

"Sangkook, it's me. Xiangguo, it's this king. Someone from the crowd shouted.

Wang Yuan looked at it, a smile appeared on his face, it turned out to be Feng Wang Li Heng and his two entourage. For some reason, Fengwang Li Heng was dressed in ordinary clothes, his hair was unkempt, and his beard was unkempt.

Wang Yuan hurriedly smiled and said, "It turned out to be Lord Feng, what kind of wind blew the prince to me?" Why did the prince dress like this? ”

Li Heng strode forward, grabbed Wang Yuan's arm, looked left and right, pulled Wang Yuan and walked to the courtyard gate, and said: "Xiangguo, where is this king in the mood to laugh with you now, let's go in and talk, I've been waiting for you at this door for a long time, and I'm about to freeze to death." ”

Wang Yuan was dragged into the courtyard by Li Heng. Seeing Wang Yuan's return, several servants in the palace hurriedly stepped forward to serve, Wang Yuan ordered the servants to serve hot tea, and led Li Heng into the front hall to take a seat. Li Heng stood by the brazier to warm his body, drank another cup of hot tea, and then breathed a long sigh of relief.

Wang Yuan has been sitting next to him waiting for Li Heng to warm up, looking at Li Heng with a faint smile on his face, Li Heng's intention is self-evident, and he knows why he came from the annoyance and anxious expression on his face.

"Lord Feng, can you tell me now why you are waiting in front of my mansion in this dress?" Wang Yuan spit out a small piece of green tea and asked with a smile.

"Oh, Xiangguo, are you still so calm? I'm going crazy. Li Mao ascended the throne in Lingzhou and succeeded to the throne, so wouldn't there be nothing wrong with me? Didn't you say you wanted to elect me the crown prince? What now? We're afraid we're about to come to a catastrophe. You asked me not to have too much contact with you, and I did as I was told. But I couldn't sit still in the house today, so I waited for you in front of your house in the clothes of ordinary people. Wang Xiangguo, what do you say about this now? Li Heng sighed with a gloomy face, and his words were full of complaints.

Wang Yuan waited for him to finish complaining, and then slowly spoke: "Lord Feng, you should know that I have done my best in this matter. More than ten days ago, I led a group of ministers to meet His Majesty and officially elected you as the crown prince. Although your father did not agree, he also agreed to make you a key candidate for the crown prince. The government affairs hall has also issued a document to solicit the opinions of local officials, and I have not broken my promise. However, man is not as good as heaven. Now that this incident happened suddenly, I was like thunder. Your father, the emperor, admitted that he had given way to Li Mao, and the abdication edict that had just been issued. The new emperor has been established, and the wood has been completed. ”

Li Heng shouted: "Do you mean that this matter can only be resigned to fate?" Li Mao became the emperor, what should I do? How can he let me? Am I about to die at his hand? Wang Xiangguo, there must be something strange about this matter, it must have been collusion between him and his father, are you just helpless? It wouldn't do you the slightest benefit for him to be emperor. ”

Wang Yuan looked at Li Heng quietly and said, "His Royal Highness King Feng, you are an understanding person. So far, there is no other way but to accept fate. Do you want to openly oppose Li Mao as emperor? In that case, you'll be dead in no time. ”

"No, I don't accept fate, I will never accept fate. I, Li Hui, can't be the emperor, why should he Li Mao? What kind of thing is he? His own women are sent out to flatter his father, he is a turtle bastard, what kind of thing is he? Li Heng shouted and scolded.

Wang Yuan frowned and looked at him jumping like a well-to-do person, and sighed in his heart. What is angry and corrupt, Li Heng in front of him perfectly interpreted the meaning of this word. and even loud insults without words. Li Mao is the turtle king bastard, isn't Xuanzong also the turtle king, isn't the Li family's royal family also a group of turtle bastards?

"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient." Wang Yuan frowned and said in a deep voice.

The majesty in Wang Yuan's words calmed Li Heng, and he also realized his gaffe. In front of Wang Yuan, he shouldn't be so out of shape, and he can't be so out of shape.

"Wang Xiangguo, is there no room for redemption? Could it be that we watched him become emperor, but we could only swallow our anger? If he wants to kill me, shall I stretch my neck and cut him off? ”

Wang Yuan pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "It's not that things don't have room for change. Although King Shou succeeded to the throne, the throne can be sat on, and it may not be able to sit safely. That's not an easy place to sit. ”

Li Heng's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Could it be that Xiangguo still has the art of returning to heaven?" ”

Wang Yuan sighed lightly and beckoned slightly: "Come here with your ears, I have something to say to you." ”

……

The plum garden in the afternoon is quiet and serene. A wisp of piano sound flowed out of the hall, and the sound of the piano was like water, flowing slowly and refreshingly. Accompanied by the sound of the piano, the sound of a flute lingers in it, slender and long, tactful and eternal.

In a corner of the hall, a stove of sandalwood emitted a faint green smoke, exuding a faint fragrance. On the felt carpet in the middle, there is a Yaoqin on one side of the long table, dressed in a plain robe, with neat temples, and the picturesque Gongsun Lan is dancing on the strings with her slender fingers, and the clear sound of the piano jumps out from her orchid-like fingers. Behind her stood Wang Yuan, who played the transverse flute, and the bamboo flute of the Xiangfei concubine, who had been with her since she was in the capital, was also making a distant sound at the moment, accompanied by the sound of the piano, playing a tactful and clear song.

As soon as the song was played, Gongsun Lan turned to look at Wang Yuan, the two of them looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths overflowed with smiles.

"Erlang, I didn't expect that after so many years, your flute skills have not been wasted, and it is really surprising."

Wang Yuan sat on the futon next to the small table with a smile, gently played with the tassels on the bamboo flute, and said in a deep voice: "How dare you waste it?" This bamboo flute was given to me by my cousin, and it can be regarded as our love object. Over the years, in the wind and rain, in the shadow of swords and swords, I have not let it leave my side for a moment. My cousin is not by my side, as long as I take out the bamboo flute and blow it, I feel that my cousin is beside me, and I feel my cousin's tenderness and sweetness. ”

Gongsun Lan smiled and said, "It's shameless, who gave you the token of love?" At that time, you took my bamboo flute and played it without my permission. How can I still use the bamboo flute that you played? Just do it a favor? It's not a token of love. ”

Wang Yuan laughed and said: "It turns out that you think I'm dirty, but I'm making a lot of feelings." I thought that from then on, my cousin would fall in love with me at first sight. ”

"Phew, who fell in love with you at first sight? This can also be said, and the skin is too thick. It's not that you're stalking and mistaking my Qing Xiu. Gongsun Lan's face was slightly red, although she had been a husband and wife for many years, but in the face of Wang Yuan's ridiculous words, Gongsun Lan sometimes couldn't bear it.

Wang Yuan laughed and said: "When I saw that Wang Lang was wrong for life, did my cousin have a feeling of getting on a thief ship?" ”

Gongsun Lan shook her head lightly and said, "Erlang, I didn't think so, in fact, I was very happy." Meeting you in this life has changed the direction of my life. Although it was very different from my original intention, I experienced a different kind of happiness. Now I am very satisfied, with Ping'er and you, and so many people close to me, I feel very happy and happy. If there is one thing I regret, it is that I did not dissuade you from stepping into the torrent of the imperial court in the first place. I said to you a sentence at the beginning, I don't know if you remember, I said that the wind and rain in the court are a hundred times more violent than the wind and rain between the mountains and fields, and the wind and rain in the mountains and fields may just wet your clothes and make you embarrassed, so that you suffer from the wind and cold, and the wind and rain of the court will make you crush your bones and turn into powder. ”

Wang Yuan hid the bamboo flute in his arms and said in a deep voice: "Of course I remember, but you also know that I am a radical and practical person. I don't want to hide in the mountains and forests all my life, and live that kind of life without fighting with the world and not asking about the world. I can't stand the feeling of not being in control of my fate, and I can't turn a blind eye to the suffering of the world. If I was invited by Li Shizhi to protect myself, I have felt that I have a responsibility to do my part for the people in the world for so many years, so that they can have a stable and happy life. ”

Gongsun Lan nodded slightly and said, "I understand, from the little me to the big me, you have already been reborn." In the past, you were selfish, only thinking about yourself and your loved ones, but now you do have compassion. Others don't know, but I can see it. However, things in the world are always difficult to achieve, and you are afraid that you regret the current situation very much. ”

Wang Yuan sighed and said, "Yes, the current situation makes me feel like a numb heart, so I came to you to find some comfort." As soon as I come to you, my heart will be still. Thank you for playing the piano for me and talking to me, I feel much better. ”

Gongsun Lan smiled slightly, and said angrily: "Between you and me, what kind of thank you are here?" ”

Wang Yuan stretched out his hand and grabbed Gongsun Lan's palm, put it on his lips and kissed it and said with a smile: "Of course I want to thank you, respect each other like a guest, and raise your eyebrows." ”

Gongsun Lan sneered, pulled out his hand and said, "However, how do you plan to deal with the current situation?" Maybe you don't want to talk to me about that, but I want to talk to you about it anyway. I suggested that you alleviate the future crisis by electing a new prince, but I didn't expect things to evolve to such a point, and I am responsible for this matter. ”

Wang Yuan waved his hand and said, "What are these words?" Do you hold you accountable for my mistakes? You don't make me feel good about saying that. The plan was right, only because of my negligence. In fact, after Li Mao secretly left Chengdu, the old general Li Mi once reminded me to be careful that Li Mao did not return, but I took it as a deaf ear. The responsibility for why things have gotten to the point where they are today lies entirely with me. ”

Gongsun Lan groaned: "I can't blame you, who would have thought that Li Mao would be so decisive and immediately ascend the throne and become emperor when he arrived in Lingzhou." In your opinion, is this a plan that His Majesty and Li Mao discussed in advance? I have to say that this hand is really clever, and with Li Mao's accession to the throne, you can no longer control the overall situation. At the end of the day, it's you. ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said: "Of course it's aimed at me, their father and son have tried their best to get rid of my control, and this hand is extremely clever." Of course, this matter was discussed between His Majesty and Li Mao. Even if it was not a prior consultation, His Majesty must have acquiesced, as evidenced by His Majesty's immediate announcement of his abdication. ”

Gongsun Lan nodded slowly and said, "It must be so, Your Majesty is so in love with the throne, how can he take the initiative to abdicate at this juncture?" If he wanted to abdicate, he resolutely refused to retreat when the situation was so bad at the time of Ma Weipo, but announced his abdication when the counterinsurgency was expected to stabilize the overall situation, which is obviously unconvincing. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "You are very right. Your Majesty's abdication at this moment is obviously a deliberate and compelled move, and as you have said, the purpose of this play sung by their father and son is directed at me. Your Majesty has no trust in me, and has borrowed this hand to get the court out of my control. That's why he did it. Speaking of which, Your Majesty's sacrifice is not small, and I am afraid that I have hated me to death in my heart. ”

Gongsun Lan frowned and said, "I didn't expect things to get to such a point, and now it's really tricky." Erlang, there is a sentence I don't know whether to ask or not. ”

Wang Yuan lightly hugged Gongsun Lan's waist and said with a smile: "If you have anything to say, just ask." What are you polite to me? ”

Gongsun Lan looked at Wang Yuan in a daze and said, "Do you have any intentions to hide from me?" ”

Wang Yuan was stunned and said, "Why do you ask this question?" ”

Gongsun Lan said: "Because you give me the feeling that if things are allowed to develop without restraint, it stands to reason that things can be completely controlled by you." But I don't see any precautions or actions from you. Tell me, did you deliberately let things get to this point? Have you already guessed Li Mao's intention to leave Chengdu? Do you know that Li Mao will never look back, and will even claim the title of emperor in Lingzhou without hindrance? ”

Wang Yuan stood there quietly and did not answer such a question.

Gongsun Lan said lightly: "That's it, since you don't want to answer, I won't force you." You have your considerations, and you don't need to tell me. ”

Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to answer, I don't know how to answer you." I'm also thinking about confessing my heart to you, because it's really uncomfortable to keep some secrets by myself. In this way, I will come to you tonight, these things are suitable for you and my husband and wife to hide in the bed and say, some things can not be seen. I'm so honest with each other when I'm naked. ”

Gongsun Lan blushed and said, "Phew, the dog's mouth can't spit out ivory." ”
