"Your Majesty, Yao Chong and Song Jing ask to see you!" Colliers reports.

"Let them in!"

"Your Majesty!" Yao Chong and Song Jing saluted Li Dan.

"I don't know what happened to the two Aiqing?"

Yao Chong and Song Jing glanced at each other and took the lead in saying: "Your Majesty, King Shen is Your Majesty's son-in-law, and King You is the eldest grandson of Emperor Gaozong, plus Princess Taiping is involved, which is very unfavorable to the crown prince." Therefore, please Your Majesty appoint King Shen and King You as assassins and choose a day to take office. At the same time, King Qi and King Xue were dismissed from their positions as the left and right Yulin Army, and they were appointed as the left and right leaders of the East Palace to serve as the crown prince. ”

Song Jing nodded and said, "Please give an order to your Majesty to let Princess Taiping go to Puzhou for settlement." ”

Among Li Longji's brothers, in addition to Ruizong's eldest son Li Chengqi, who has a relatively high status, there is also the son of Li Xian, the second son of Zhang Huai, who was abolished by Wu Zetian, and Li Shouli, the eldest grandson of Tang Gaozong. Yao Chong and Song Jing's meaning is very clear, let these two sensitive brothers go to the place, they are easy to be used in Chang'an. King Qi and King Xue were the commanders of the Yulin Army of the Forbidden Army, and they held heavy troops and were easy to be used. Therefore, it is better to remove them from the post of commander of the forbidden army and let them be the commander of the prince's left and right guards, that is, the commander of the prince's guard. In this way, not only will it not threaten the crown prince, but it will strengthen the prince's power.

Yao Chong and Song Jing's words are very clear, the reason why so many things have happened now is that Princess Taiping instigated all day long. Simply, let Princess Taiping go to other places, and don't stir up trouble in the capital. Taken as a whole, the proposal takes into account all the factors that threaten the prince's position, and is a package solution that looks at the whole picture. The two of them defended the crown prince. It is not only out of personal friendship, but also out of a public heart to maintain the political stability of the country and maintain the order of the imperial court.

On the second day of September, eight months after the coup d'état in Tanglong. Tang Ruizong Li Dan issued three edicts in a row: first, Princess Taiping went out to live in Puzhou, King Shen Li Chengqi and King Youwang Li Shouli went to other places to serve as assassins, and Li Longji's two younger brothers, King Qi and King Xue, were dismissed from the post of General Yulin and served as the prince's left and right guards. Second, Li Longji was in charge of the country as the crown prince and exercised political power in an all-round way. Third. King Lantian served as the general of the auxiliary state, and unified the management of the Gyeonggi Yulin Army and the Ten Thousand Cavalry.

As soon as these three edicts were promulgated, it was of course a major victory for Li Longji.

After Princess Taiping learned that she was sent to a place by her brother Ruizong Li Dan. How could she give up, she came to Li Dan to cry as soon as possible.

"Taiping, you can go to Puzhou, if you are tired of staying. Could come back for a few days. After all, Chang'an is not far from Puzhou! No matter how Princess Taiping made trouble, Li Dan just didn't let go.

Princess Taiping saw that Li Dan had already made up her mind, and she had a plan in her heart, and she rolled her eyes and said: "Brother, it's okay if you want me to go to Puzhou, but there is still one thing at the moment, I have to deal with it before I can leave." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Brother, I have a grange on the outskirts of the city. Yesterday it was bloodied, and all 413 people in the village were killed. Under the Tang Dynasty, such a lawless thing can happen, brother, do you care? ”

It's good that Princess Taiping didn't mention this matter, but now that she mentioned it, Li Dan was angry and didn't fight anywhere, he got up and said: "What you said is not right, only one hundred and two people were killed, they are all Jiangyang thieves who killed people and crossed goods, and they are innocent of death." The rest of the three hundred and eleven were ordinary tenant farmers, who were only blindfolded and tied up. ”

"Brother, you ......"

"Taiping, let me ask you, what do you want to do with so many dead soldiers in the Grange? How did Shigegeru die? Do you have to let me pierce this layer of window paper? I only want to ask you, do you want to go to Puzhou? ”

Hearing Li Dan say this, Princess Taiping knew that it would be useless to make trouble, so she turned around and left without saying a word.

Looking at Princess Taiping's departing figure, Li Dan felt upset for a while, and he said to Yang Siqiao beside him: "You hurry up and invite Tao'er!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

……

When Li Dan was upset, Li Longji was not unhappy in his heart, and at this time, Gao Lishi reported: "Concubine Zhao asked the prince to come over." ”

"Tell her I'm busy and don't have time!" Li Longji waved his hand and said impatiently.

"Wait!" Gao Lishi was about to turn around, but was stopped by Li Longji: "I'd better go!" ”

"What are you looking for from me?" Li Longji asked with a frown.

"Prince, what do you think of this long pillow quilt?" Zhao Lijuan asked.

Li Longji saw that the big quilt that Zhao Lijuan was sewing was two feet wide, and there was a huge pillow of the same length on the side, and couldn't help asking, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Prince, isn't this what you want to use?" Zhao Lijuan asked in surprise.

"Who told you that? What am I doing with such a big pillow and quilt? Li Longji said angrily.

Zhao Lijuan said with a distorted face: "This is strange, a few days ago, my father-in-law made a special trip to the East Palace and told me that the prince needs a big pillow, and told me to sew it by hand." I'm afraid that I will miss the prince's business, so I'm in a hurry these days, and it's almost finished! ”

When Li Longji heard that it was Zhang Lingfeng's arrangement, his heart moved, and he asked urgently: "What else did your father-in-law say?" ”

"My father-in-law said that this pillow should be long enough and the quilt should be big enough to accommodate at least five people to sleep together, so I ......."

Before Zhao Lijuan finished speaking, Li Longji already knew in his heart that this must be Li Tao's arrangement, and after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but secretly praise it in his heart.

"Prince, this is a big ......" Zhao Lijuan saw that Li Longji was silent, and she was a little at a loss.

"Very well, you can continue sewing, but don't rush to finish. If your father sees him and asks, you will say so......"

……

"Uncle, what are you anxious about looking for me?"

"Tao'er, do you know the three edicts issued by the imperial court?" Li Dan asked.

"I see! I'm just about to talk to my uncle about it! Li Tao nodded.

"What's the matter with you?" Li Dan asked.

"I want to ask my uncle to take back his fate, I don't want to be an auxiliary general, and I don't want to wade into the troubled waters of Princess Taiping and the third uncle."

Li Dan's face turned green when he heard Li Tao and Li Li's pick, and he hurriedly said: "Tao'er, if you don't take charge of the military power of Chang'an for me, who will I hand it over?" Who can reassure me? If it is handed over to a traitor, will it not be even worse? ”

"This?" Li Tao was a little embarrassed.

"Tao'er, you persuaded me to be the emperor at the beginning, you can't leave it alone now, you can help Uncle Weng!" Li Dan also touched Li Tao's temper, and he knew that it was unpleasant to impress Li Tao with family affection.

Sure enough, Li Tao sighed and said, "Then I'll help Uncle Weng again!" However, I have one condition! ”

Li Dan saw that Li Tao had agreed, and said with joy in his heart: "Say it!" (To be continued......)
