Yang Fuguang asked like this, Li Bao was difficult to answer, after all, he couldn't say that he knew the history of later generations, and he also remembered that Yang Fuguang died for the Tang Dynasty.

Li Bao thought for a while, and then said: "Yang Shumi's prestige in other towns has been heard of by Bao a long time ago. In addition, the reason why Bao wanted Yang Envoy Jun to come to Beijing as a privy envoy was because only Yang Shumi was in charge of Beijing, and Ximen Ji Xuan and Han Wenyue would not persecute us too much. ”

Yang Fuguang smiled and said to Li Bao: "Now that the new emperor is about to ascend the throne, the Tian family is about to prosper, especially after Tian Lingzi succeeds to the throne, sooner or later he will dictate the country and bring disaster to the country." I'm afraid that the alliance between Rokuro-kun and the Tian clan won't last long in the future, right? ”

Li Bao didn't need to hide it from a smart person like Yang Fuguang, so he said happily: "This is the reason why I tried my best to let Yang Shumi succeed Han Wenyue as the lieutenant of the Shence Army, and in addition, tonight's incident could have taken advantage of the situation to get rid of the Ximen family, but I didn't do it to prevent the Tian family from becoming bigger." ”

Yang Fuguang looked at the eleven-year-old boy in front of him in surprise, his methods were actually a few points stronger than his own, is this really a pampered prince? Or is it true, as the rumors say, that he is a star in the heavens?

After Liu Jishu, who was standing next to him, heard about Li Bao's plan, he also had to admire this little prince, this was really a long-sleeved dance, turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands for rain, which opened his eyes. He also sighed from the bottom of his heart, fortunately, he knew the current affairs early that day and took refuge in Li Bao.

Li Bao felt that he had to talk to Yang Fuguang at this time, and only by telling his selfishness frankly could he get the understanding of a smart person like him.

"Yang Shumi may wonder why I went to great lengths to maintain the balance between the eunuchs in the palace and not do anything else, such as being the crown prince or the emperor?"

Yang Fuguang and Liu Jishu are very strange, with Li Bao's mind and skill, it is easy to get the position of prince and emperor. But instead of doing so, he surrendered the emperor to others.

Looking at the expressions of the two, Li Bao smiled and said: "The reason why I don't want to compete for the throne is just because I am too tired to be the emperor, and I just want to be a lazy and carefree prince." But things in the world aren't what you want to do, so I have to make a gesture, one that everybody can understand. ”

Liu Jishu couldn't help but say: "What posture does the king want to do?" The slave and maid were blunt, and asked the king for guidance. ”

"I have to make a posture of 'if anyone does not offend me, I will not offend anyone, but if anyone offends me, I will destroy you', so that I can deter everyone. Of course, this is not just a word, I must have the strength to do it, so that people can be afraid, so as to keep my life and leisure. ”

Yang Fuguang was in a complicated mood, looked at the lake and continued: "In this way, everyone is a pawn in the hands of the king?" Just to ensure the king's peace and well? ”

Li Bao said with a smile: "Yang Shumi can be understood in this way, but there is a sentence that can be shared with the two of you. There are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests. I use Yang Shumi, Yang Shumi can also use me, we are mutual, so don't worry about what chess pieces are not chess pieces. Do you think that's the truth? ”

After Li Bao finished speaking, he said goodbye to the two, and he was going to rush back to the Sixteen Princes' Mansion. Now that Li Luo has died, the Daming Palace will be very busy, but there is nothing for him here.

Yang Fuguang looked at Li Bao's distant figure, chewing on the words that Li Bao said: There are no eternal enemies in the world, only eternal interests. Then the mainstay of the late Tang Dynasty, the outliers among the eunuchs showed a playful smile on their faces.

Liu Jishu, who was also standing by the Taiye Pool, was also recalling what Li Bao said in his heart, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

Li Bao never expected that it was the words of this night that caused different waves and different lives in the hearts of the two famous eunuchs of the late Tang Dynasty.

…………………………………………

It is now the early morning of July 19, the 14th year of Xiantong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Bao returned to King Ji's mansion and settled the eighth Li Yi and Ling'er.

Tonight, King Ji's mansion won a great victory, and everyone was extremely happy, and it also caused some damage, and two little eunuchs were too excited because they won Li Bao's heavy reward and accidentally fell and bruised.

As for Tian Xianchen and Ximen Ji Xuan and other eunuchs, they have already returned to Daming Palace, and the emperor's death must be stepped up, the old emperor's state funeral, the courtiers need to be notified to arrange the funeral, and the new emperor's succession ceremony and so on must be busy in an orderly manner.

As for the injuries of the Shence Army, no one will definitely record it, and the violent death of several elderly princes in the Sixteen Princes' Mansion will also be distorted in the history books: he died of a serious illness.

History is a wonderful thing, many times people can see a strong dynasty in the history books, but it is always in vain to try to peek into the whole picture of history between the lines.

Later historians wanted to know what happened from the evening of July 18 to the early morning of the 19th year of Xiantong, but they could not find out what they really thought about that night in the official obscure historical materials, so they had to find another way.

Later, people finally found some corroboration from the biographies of other figures, which is a historical material contained in the memoirs of Mingde Zen Master, who lived in Changle Fangzhong'an Guo Temple: It was the night old man who was reciting the "Diamond Sutra" for the Buddha's bones, but unexpectedly there was a shout of killing in the direction of the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, as well as the cry for help of the palace maids.

The old man wanted to find out, so he sent his apprentice to check it out. Who knew that when he arrived at the gate of the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, he was stopped by the guards at the Sixteen Princes' Mansion. Later, there was a thunderstorm in the house of the sixteen kings, and the shouts of killing were never heard again......

The reason why this historical material has survived is that this memoir has been stored in the scripture pavilion of Anguo Temple in the new capital since it was completed, and it was not discovered by the monks of Anguo Temple until 60 years later, so that it was preserved.

When dawn finally came, the people in the streets of Chang'an City were terrified by the thunder in the clear night.

Then it is rumored that Li Baonai, the sixth prince of the official family, was born on the night of thunder, which was based on the sadness and horror of the six princes on the night of the death of the official family, which caused the thunder to come to life, and led to the nonsense rumor that the six princes were the reincarnation of the thunder god.

Later, when Li Bao learned of this rumor, he showed a helpless and indifferent expression to Weiyangzi beside him, which caused Hu Sanbao and Ling'er and others who were present at the time to be confused for a while.

Of course, this is all a later story, and now Chang'an City is mixed with the grief and joy of the death of the old emperor and the succession of the new emperor, and many courtiers feel refreshed.

After all, the mediocre old emperor died, and the new emperor ascended the throne, out of a sense of honor to the Tang Dynasty and a sense of responsibility to the courtiers, they all hoped to assist the new emperor to create a new situation and reproduce the glory of Emperor Xuanzong.

On the afternoon of the 19th, the imperial court issued an edict, and the fifth son of the emperor, King Pu, made him the crown prince and changed his name to Li Yi, and at the same time announced that the emperor had died, and the prince succeeded to the throne as emperor seven days later.

In addition, Li Luo's posthumous edict Wei Baoheng was the funeral of Emperor Daxing for the regent, and at the same time, it was rumored that Tian Lingzi, the envoy of Wufang, took over the post of envoy of the southern courtyard of Xuanhui Academy.

After Li Bao heard the edict, he smiled and said: "'Yi' has the meaning of wisdom and wisdom, and it can be seen that the courtiers have great expectations for the new emperor!" ”

Hu Sanbao paid attention to Tian Lingzi's changes, and said: "This little envoy Tian has now flown high to the branches, I'm afraid it won't be long before he becomes a phoenix." ”

After hearing this, Li Bao smiled at Hu Sanbao and said, "It's going to rain, my mother wants to get married, let him go." ”

Li Bao's words stunned Hu Sanbao for a moment, and he thought for a long time before hesitating: "What does Lang Jun mean by this?" ”

Li Bao immediately rolled his eyes at him and said in a low voice: "No culture, it's terrible!" ”

…………………………………………………………………………

Shengye Fang, Tian Xianxuan, who had been busy all day, sat on the soft collapse and closed his eyes to recuperate.

The large ice cube in the copper basin emitted a trace of white gas, and the attendant of the Yellow Gate next to him carefully shook the manual fan, blowing the fragrant fragrance and coolness to the newly promoted Lieutenant Tian Da of the Right Army of the Shence Army.

Just as Tian Xianyun was at ease, there was a gentle knock on the door, Tian Xianyan opened his eyes and said, "Who is outside?" Come in and talk back. ”

It was the official family of Tian Mansion who came in, he was Tian Xianchen's fellow villager, named Shushu, and now he was in his fifties, and he was very respectful to Tian Xianchen. "Ah Lang, our family's Qilang and San Lang are here now, did Ah Lang let them in?"

When Tian Xianchen heard this, he hurriedly said: "Hurry up and let the two of them come in, you guys go and prepare the fruit wine specially provided by Mei Yaya, and bring in some chilled watermelons and courgettes." The statement and the chamberlain were commanded, and they departed as promised.

After a while, Tian Lingyu and Tian Lingzi came to Tian Xianchen's study together, and the father and son met, saluted first, and then sat down one by one. After a while, the waiter put fruit wine and chilled melons and fruits on the table. Once you have placed it, retreat on your own.

There were only three fathers and sons left in the house, and Tian Lingyu was not polite, he picked up a tooth of watermelon and ate it, but Tian Lingzi was a little restrained. He didn't pay attention to Tian Xianchen in the past, if it weren't for Li Bao's favor for him, it would be an extravagant hope that he could talk in front of Tian Xianchen.

Tian Lingyu is different, he has always been valued and favored by Tian Xianchen, because Tian Lingyu has always been by Tian Xianchen's side, and he has always held the high position of the division of this door. And after Wu Yipin was punished for his crimes, Tian Xianchen immediately promoted him to be the envoy of the gate.

On the other hand, although Tian Lingzi was able to worship under Tian Xian's door, it was also made of money, and because he was ugly, he was not favored by Tian Xianyun, so after arranging him to serve as a pony envoy, he never thought of him again.

But now all this has been reversed, all because of the sixth prince Li Bao, Tian Lingzi's life has undergone earth-shaking changes, he was promoted from the Pony Fang Envoy to the Five Fang Envoy less than a year later, and because of Li Yan's relationship, he has become the hot Xuanhui Yuan South Envoy in the Daming Palace.

The great changes in his life have turned Tian Lingzi's mentality upside down, but in the face of his father-in-law who he has always feared, he still can't let go.

Tian Xianchen smiled at Tian Lingzi and said with a pleasant smile: "Qilang, don't be polite, when you come here, it's our own home, let's eat." ”

Tian Lingzi carefully picked up a tooth of watermelon, and eating the cold melon pulp made every sweat pore in his spleen, stomach and body reveal a burst of comfort.

Everyone finished eating the melons and fruits, and then Tian Xian said leisurely: "Now it is not what it used to be, the rise of our Tian clan is just around the corner, and now our family will be appointed as a lieutenant in the right army in the near future, San Lang is already a gate envoy, Qilang's future is even more ambitious, our family originally intended to let Qilang become a privy envoy, but those old foxes resolutely refused to let that kid from the Ximen family serve as a privy envoy." ”

Tian Lingzi saw that his adult favored him so much, and he was immediately flattered and hurriedly said: "The adult cares for a certain person so much, and a certain person is really beyond retribution." ”

Tian Lingyu said with a smile: "Qilang doesn't have to be humble, a certain Tian clan can have a few days, in addition to the far-reaching vision of adults, and make friends with the six princes as soon as possible, in order to get this kind of glory, in addition, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince favors you even more, with the favor of His Royal Highness the Prince, you are the key to the prosperity of our Tian family." ”

"Yes, San Lang is right, we will be close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future, that is, the official family, as long as we can firmly control the official family, our Tian clan will be able to achieve a century-old wang clan, more prosperous than the Yang family and the Ximen clan!"

Tian Lingyu suddenly remembered Li Baolai, his perception of Li Bao was very complicated, it can be said that everything in the Tian family is given by Li Bao now, and today's father-in-law did not mention the sixth prince Li Bao in a word, which made him feel a little strange.

From the beginning, Li Bao strongly supported Tian Xianchen to serve as the envoy of the Xuanhui Academy, and then helped him be promoted to the privy envoy, and concurrently served as the envoy of the southern courtyard of the Xuanhui Academy, and the position of the prince was also given to Li Yan by Li Bao.

So Tian Lingyu said in a low voice: "Liulangjun ...... last night"

"Don't mention the six princes in the future, if it weren't for him, today our Tian family would have become the most prominent lintel of this Daming Palace, and this little prince didn't know how to get it, and he actually turned to help the old fox of Ximen clear his guilt, so Qilang, who was also harmed, couldn't be promoted to privy envoy earlier."

As soon as Tian Lingzi heard that his official career was interrupted because of Li Bao, the joy of being appointed as the envoy of Xuanhui was gone, and his perception of Li Bao in his heart also changed.

……

On the night of July 19, the bright moon shone on all corners of Chang'an, and the dim moonlight seemed to indicate the gloomy future of Chang'an and Datang.
