Chapter Seventy-Six: Rumors of the Past

King Wu returned to the Treasure Pavilion and drove away the servants in the room, he looked serious and stayed in the room and refused to come out.

King Wu looked at the teapot in front of him and sat motionless in the room.

Although his eyes were looking at the teapot on the table, those unfocused eyes meant that he was thinking about something else.

"Li Rong, are you still alive?" Li Rong is the name of Prince Jianlong's daughter, and when Li Rong said the two words, even King Wu himself didn't notice it, and his voice was actually a little whimpering.

When King Wu was young, his father was still a prince of His Majesty Tang Jingzong, and at that time there was already a candidate for the position of the crown prince, and it was Prince Jianlong who sat on the throne of the East Palace.

Prince Jianlong and Tang Jingzong had a very good relationship at that time, because they were brothers of the same mother, Prince Jianlong was very good, and Tang Jingzong was not far behind compared with Prince Jianlong, but it was Prince Jianlong who sat in the East Palace in the end.

Tang Jingzong also became a leisurely prince after seeing his brother sit on the throne of the East Palace, and rarely showed up since then.

And Prince Jianlong also felt a trace of guilt in his heart after seeing Tang Jingzong so free and easy, in order to restore the rift between himself and Tang Jingzong because of the East Palace, so Prince Jianlong also went to see Tang Jingzong every few days. The friendship between the fathers has also continued to their offspring, and the two families who often go back and forth also get along very well.

At that time, Li Rong was weak, with a sallow complexion, and looked like an ugly duckling, and several brothers around King Wu were unwilling to take care of her after seeing Li Rong like this.

But when King Wu saw Li Rong for the first time, he became interested in Li Rong.

There is no arrogance for her subordinates, no matter what identity person comes to greet Li Rong, she responds to everyone very politely.

At that time, Li Rong was like an orchid in the empty valley, so quiet and eye-catching, that people inadvertently wanted to protect it.

What King Wu hopes most every day is that he can see Li Rong after he finishes the homework assigned by his father, and at that time, King Wu didn't know that Li Rong's appearance had taken root in his heart.

Originally, King Wu thought that the two families could live this life amicably without any intrigue, but the development of facts will always exceed people's expectations.

Just when Prince Jianlong was about to ascend to the dragon throne, he fell ill! Not only was he the only one who was sick, but Prince Jianlong's family seemed to be seriously ill, including Li Rong.

The imperial doctors came to the prince's mansion one after another, but they all came out of the prince's mansion with a sad look on their faces.

King Wu wanted to visit Prince Jianlong, but Tang Jingzong did not allow it.

During the illness of Prince Jianlong, Tang Jingzong once ordered the door of the mansion to be closed and no one was allowed to go out, and Tang Jingzong's reason for this was to avoid suspicion.

King Wu didn't understand why Tang Jingzong would give such an order, obviously his relatives were dying, and even died in the next moment, but his father could be indifferent and watch all this coldly!

Is there really no family affection in the emperor's house?

In any case, Prince Jianlong finally died of illness, and the day after Prince Jianlong's death, news came out from the Prince's Mansion that the Crown Princess and Princess Li Rong also died and went to another world with Prince Jianlong.

At this time, there was a news among the people, that is, Tang Jingzong sent someone to poison Prince Jianlong's family for the throne.

The country cannot be left without an owner for a day, after the death of Prince Jianlong, the entire court was in chaos, and endless quarrels were constantly staged in the palace every day.

Prince Jianlong's death due to illness also made the other princes ready to move! No one is high enough to ignore the temptation of the throne!

At this time, Tang Jingzong suddenly threw away his leisurely princely face, and replaced it with a new look!

Cold-blooded, ruthless!

He used thunderous means to quickly suppress other princes who wanted to make trouble...... In the end, it was Tang Jingzong who was victorious, and the position that was supposed to be taken by his elder brother Prince Jianlong was finally replaced by him.

The first thing Tang Jingzong did after he sat on the emperor's throne was to send someone to erase the rumors among the people that he had plotted to kill Prince Jianlong!

The Emperor is noble, and he cannot allow any stain on himself!

Chang'an City ushered in the darkest period of time, every day countless people will be in the prison of officers and soldiers, these people have never come out after entering,

Tang Jingzong wanted to use all his strength to erase his rumors, but the rumors did not disappear, but became more and more intense, and these rumors all fell into the ears of King Wu.

When Liu Tiannan saw that the whole country was in chaos, he wrote to Tang Jingzong.

As for the wise man who wants the rumor to disappear, there should be no bloody force, and soft means of pacification should be used.

Tang Jingzong listened to Liu Tiannan's advice, and he promulgated many policies that benefited the people.

Taxes halved and changed the impersonal laws of the Tang Dynasty!

The effect was quickly seen, and many people had a lot of improvements in their lives because of the policies promulgated by Tang Jingzong.

Some people began to call Tang Jingzong a Ming Jun, a Ming Jun who is sympathetic to the people for a hundred years!

In the end, those rumors that gave Tang Jingzong a headache disappeared, and Tang Jingzong officially started his journey as emperor!

But some people have not forgotten, such as King Wu.

Those rumors that are now rebellious have already taken root in King Wu's heart! King Wu was still young at the time, so he didn't understand why his father did what he did in the first place.

But when he grew up, he suddenly had an epiphany, and the epiphany was very thorough.

He began to be afraid, he was afraid that his brother would use some shady means against him like his own father.

He doesn't want to kill himself with his siblings, he doesn't want to see his blood appear on his brother's clothes, he chooses to give up the throne, he is willing to be a leisurely prince, he is willing to live his life ordinarily.

But after King Fang Wu saw Li Yuerong in the Tang Commissary, the thoughts that had been hidden in his heart all this time showed signs of recovery.

"Junshan!" King Wu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and shouted outside the door.

"Your Highness!" Jun Shan, who had been guarding the safety of King Wu outside the door, walked in at this time.

"You immediately go and find out the news about Li Xian and Li Yuerong, the more detailed the better!" King Wu's voice was not as gentle and easy-going as it was on weekdays, and Jun Shan, who had always been by King Wu's side, actually heard a trace of bloody and cruel taste from King Wu's voice at this time!

"Yes! Your Highness! ”

……

Just when King Wu gave the order, Liu Tiannan took Steward Liu out of the Treasure Pavilion and got into a carriage.

"Master, where are you going? Are you going to the Datang Commissary to meet Fang Tang? Steward Liu asked Liu Tiannan.

Liu Tiannan stroked his beard and said to Steward Liu with a serious expression.

"If you don't go to the Datang Commissary, let's go to Yaoshan!"
