"Think about it, apart from him, whether it is your people or the people of Taiping, who can fully control the Yulin Wanqi? Once the Yulin Wanqi is divided, and you and Princess Taiping each have a part of the army, what will your battle look like? No matter who wins in the end, it will be a catastrophe for me Datang. As it turned out, I was the right one, and he finally helped you remove all obstacles and make you a true emperor, and he minimized your losses. You don't trust him, and you are suspicious of him! Saburo, you're so unwise. ”

Li Dan's words were not wrong at all, so that Li Longji could not refute them.

Seeing that Li Longji was silent, Li Dan asked again: "San Lang, you tell the truth, when you were in Luzhou a few years ago, could you have thought that you would become the emperor today?" ”

Li Longji shook his head.

"Don't talk about you, even I wouldn't have thought of it. But he thought of it, and planned for you step by step, so that you are where you are today. First of all, when you were in Luzhou, if he hadn't helped you get rid of those people who hindered you, how could you stand in Luzhou? ”

"In order for you brothers to return to Chang'an, he can even compromise with Wei's, isn't he so that you can gain a foothold in Chang'an?"

"After the death of the imperial brother, he could obviously get rid of Empress Wei's party by himself, but he asked you to do it, isn't he accumulating credit and connections for you?"

"Taiping proposed to let Da Lang be the prince, if he didn't persuade Da Lang, how could you be the prince?"

"Taiping is fighting for power with you, he doesn't help each other on the surface, but if you really don't have his secret help, how can you fight against Taiping?"

"Although you are in power, he knows Taiping's character too well. Knowing that as long as Taiping is alive, it will definitely affect your ambitions. Therefore, he took the initiative to remove the peace for you. Everything he did for you. Do you not know, or are you pretending to be confused? ”

Li Dan's series of questions made Li Longji lower his head.

Li Dan slowed down his breath and asked Li Longji, "Do you know why he helped you so much?" ”

Li Longji raised his head, he also wanted to know why this was going on?

"He once told me that although he didn't want to be the emperor, he was a descendant of the Li family after all, and he didn't want to give up the Tang Dynasty to others. He chose among the descendants of the Li family, and he chose you. That's why I've spared no effort to help you step by step to where you are today! San Lang, to put it mildly, the position of emperor that can never be put down in your heart is nothing in his heart. You just beg him to do it, and he won't do it, is it necessary to guard against him? ”

Li Dan's words made Li Longji ashamed, and also made him suddenly brightened, he nodded and said, "Father, I was wrong." ”

"Saburo. Do you know what he said about you at the beginning? ”

"What did he say?"

"He said that you are ambitious, broad-minded, decisive, and know how to make good use of people!" Speaking of which. Li Dan stared at Li Longji and said, "Tell me, what you are thinking and doing now." What is the point that can be related to these sixteen words? Isn't he blind? ”

Li Longji lowered his head and pondered.

Li Dan said lightly: "San Lang, if you don't break the demon barrier in your heart. Even if you become an emperor, you will achieve nothing in the end! ”

Li Longji got up and said, "Father." I knew what to do, so I went to him. ”

Li Dan said solemnly: "San Lang, remember my words today, treat him well, and never suspect him." It's a blessing for you to have him. If one day he does leave you, then your blessings will come to an end! ”

Li Longji also said solemnly to Li Dan: "San Lang will always remember the teachings of his father!" ”

……

"Your Majesty! I've got you covered! Colliers reported to Li Longji.

"Tell me about it!" Li Longji hurriedly asked.

"King Lantian closed his door for the first month after handing over the seal of the general of the auxiliary state. Since the second month, I have been visiting all over the house. ”

"Oh? Who did he visit? Li Longji asked.

"There are His Royal Highness King Ning, His Royal Highness King Shen, His Royal Highness King Qi, His Royal Highness King Zhao, as well as His Royal Highness King You, King Shouyi, and Xue Chongjian, Duke of Yanguo, ......"

"It's strange, the more than thirty people he visited are all members of the royal family, hasn't he visited a court minister?" Li Longji was puzzled.

Gao Lishi shook his head and said: "No, I heard that Prime Minister Liu Youqiu and Zhong Shaojing, as well as Zhang Wei, Chen Xuanli, and Ge Shunfu are waiting for you to visit King Lantian, and they are all closed." ”

"What kind of medicine is sold in Tao'er's gourd?" Li Longji continued to ask, "What happened later? ”

"Since the third month, King Lantian has set up an organization called the 'Royal Club' with these royal relatives, and King Lantian himself has served as the chief treasurer of the 'Royal Club'."

'Oh?' Imperial Club'? What is 'Imperial Club'? Li Longji was very curious.

"The minions don't know, but I've heard that to join the 'Royal Club', you must abide by the rules."

"What charter?" Li Longji became more and more confused.

"The servant copied a copy for His Majesty, please take a look at it!" Colliers handed over the copied charter.

Li Longji took it and looked at it carefully: first, don't talk about government affairs; second, not to oppress the people; third, not to make friends with courtiers; Fourth......

After Li Longji saw it, he probably already knew it in his heart, and he smiled: "Tao'er still has a lot of tricks. ”

Li Longji seemed to remember something again, and he asked: "These people are not convinced by one another, all of them are difficult masters, how can Tao'er bring them together?" ”

"I don't know about this minion, but this 'Royal Club' has to get together every three to five days, and the scene is not small. It is said that none of these people will attend the party, and unless they are seriously ill and can only be absent after asking for leave from the king of Lantian, the king will remove them from the 'Royal Club'. ”

The more Li Longji listened, the more curious he became, and he couldn't help but think about it in his heart.

……

After the death of Princess Taiping, the people who were killed and exiled were killed, and only Xue Chongjian was left in Chang'an by Li Longji, and he was also named the Duke of Yanguo.

At the beginning, when Li Tao formed the "Royal Club", Xue Chongjian didn't care, but he reluctantly participated in order to give Li Tao face. But in just a few months, Xue Chongjian couldn't stop, not only him, but those who participated, felt roughly the same as him. Without it, because it was so fun, after joining the "Royal Club", he realized that the previous days were simply in vain.

But just when Xue Chongjian was tired of this, Li Longji suddenly summoned him, which made him a little uneasy.

When Li Longji proposed to follow him to experience the "Royal Club", Xue Chongjian was dumbfounded. Xue Chongjian thought that Li Longji was dissatisfied with the private gathering of the imperial relatives, and hurriedly wanted to explain to Li Tao. (To be continued......)
