King Xiang continued: "The newly enthroned Zampu of Tubo was born to the old Zampu and the concubine of Nanzhao, extremely handsome, smart and clever, from the age of three he began to select the women of the Tubo Kingdom, and there was no one who liked it, so he came to the Tang Dynasty to choose." Unexpectedly, after meeting with the old envoy who had lived in Chang'an, after listening to the introduction of the old envoy and after nearly a year of investigation, he thought that only slaves could be worthy of their new Zampu. In addition, His Majesty likes slaves very much and values her intelligence and talent, although slaves are still young, they can go to Tibet and kiss His Majesty is at ease, so they are allowed to marry. ”

Li Tao listened, sighed deeply, although the same princess, but the life of Princess Jincheng is destined to be very different from Princess Taiping, Princess Anle, etc., soon she will leave her hometown and go to the country for thousands of miles, no return, jade appearance, gradually aging, withering in the wind and sand.

Li Tao suddenly remembered that there was such a song in "Dream of Red Mansions" in the later generations, called "Flesh and Bone", and Princess Jincheng's mood should be the same.

Thinking of this, Li Tao couldn't help but chant: "Three thousand miles of wind and rain, throw the flesh and blood homeland together." Fear of crying and ruining the old age. Sue my father and mother, and leave my son in suspense. Since ancient times, the poor have all been determined, and there is no chance for clutching? From now on, they will be divided into two places, each of which shall be safe. Slave go, don't implicate. ”

After singing a song, everyone was stupid.

……

After the banquet, everyone said goodbye and left the Xiangwang Mansion, but Li Tao did not leave, he and the Xiangwang came to the study.

King Xiang stared at Li Tao and said, "I thought that Tao'er was an iron man who had gone through hardship, but today I heard a song you sang for Jincheng." I knew that Tao Er was also a man of temperament. ”

Li Tao's mood was still a little low: "Tao'er is reluctant to slave her sister because of her feelings!" ”

"Tao'er, do you know why I want to leave you alone?" The king returned to the right word.

Li Tao shook his head, he really didn't know what King Xiang's move meant.

"Don't you really want to be an emperor?" King Xiang asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Li Tao was stunned.

"You don't have to hide it. He has already written to tell me what you agreed with Saburo! "King Xiang is straightforward.

It turned out that Li Longji betrayed himself, and Li Tao couldn't help but be angry: The matter that he said couldn't be leaked, who knew that he would tell King Xiang so soon, although King Xiang is Li Longji's son, but can this kind of thing be joked?

King Xiang seemed to know what Li Tao was thinking, and said lightly: "You don't blame San Lang." He's not the kind of person who doesn't do things in a measured way. No matter who else you are, you are only one step away from the emperor's position, but you want to give it to San Lang. He couldn't make up his mind, so he wrote to me to ask about it. Saburo has always been very assertive, and for so many years he has made his own decisions about his own affairs, but this time he wrote to me to ask me. It can be seen that he is also hesitant to the extreme. ”

Li Tao thinks about it. Li Longji is indeed too far away from the position of the emperor now, no wonder he has an unreal feeling.

"Uncle Weng, I really don't want to be the emperor, since the third uncle has written to you, I must have said the reason why I don't want to be the emperor."

King Xiang didn't say anything, just stared at Li Tao silently, as if he wanted to see his heart.

Li Tao smiled bitterly: "Uncle Weng, I know you don't believe it. But ......"

Before Li Tao finished speaking, King Xiang said: "I believe it!" ”

"What?" Li Tao didn't seem to believe his ears: "Uncle Weng." Do you really believe it? ”

"Yes, I do!"

Li Tao breathed a deep sigh of relief, as if he had a kind of relief, in his opinion, it was really difficult to explain to others that he didn't want to be an emperor.

Li Tao couldn't help but ask curiously: "Uncle, even the third uncle himself won't believe it, why do you believe it?" ”

King Xiang said lightly: "As a man, there is no one who does not value his career, and being an emperor naturally means that he must master the imperial power." Actually, I was also an emperor back then, and that was after your Aweng was deposed by his mother. Although I am called the emperor, I have no real power, just a puppet. When the puppet also had some calculations, first Wu Chengsi framed Empress Liu and Concubine Dou De, that is, the biological mother of Da Lang and San Lang, saying that they often colluded in secret to curse the queen mother, and the queen mother was angry and beheaded the two without asking the reason. I saw in my eyes, how could I not be frightened, I didn't dare to ask about the court, and I didn't even feel qualified to be a puppet. In order to save the lives of myself and my family, I took the initiative to say in front of the minister that I had no ambitions and was willing to give up the world and let my mother sit on the dragon chair. The queen didn't take me seriously at all, she just felt that the time was not yet ripe. The queen mother said that the emperor changed the Tang to Zhou, and that was six years after I became the puppet emperor. After the queen mother ascended the throne, she made me the heir of the emperor and gave me the surname Wu, whose identity is equivalent to that of a prince but not a prince, and his status has not changed, he is still a puppet. After my mother became seriously ill, she once asked me, and I took the initiative to ask to give up my inheritance rights and resolutely not to be emperor. So, you Ah Weng was secretly picked up. Later, the ministers staged a coup d'état, the queen mother abdicated, and you Aung ascended to the throne. Even now, I don't dare to relax, and I have to live my life carefully while indulging in calligraphy. ”

Li Tao naturally knew that the reason why King Xiang was careful at this time was not because of Li Xian, but because of Wei.

Speaking of this, King Xiang sighed and said: "In my life, I have seen too many brothers killing each other and cannibalism between mother and son. The throne is not a good thing, and anyone who competes for the throne will not end well whether it succeeds or fails. For the emperor, I am becoming less and less rare, and at the same time more and more afraid, I wish I could hide in the countryside like you before, be happy and quiet to be a rich man, stay away from the place of right and wrong, stay away from the bloody rain, away from swords, guns and swords. ”

After listening to King Xiang's words, Li Tao deeply sympathized with him, King Li Dan's life was entangled with the throne, and he couldn't hide if he wanted to, so I am afraid that he would never have a day of peace and comfort.

"What you said to Saburo really went to my heart, and to have such a deep understanding, either someone like me who is immersed in the scene, or someone who is extremely smart. Tao'er, you can see through this at a young age, so you are a smart person. People who don't want to be emperors in this world, I, Li Dan, are counted as one, and you Li Tao are also counted as one. ”

"Uncle Xie's understanding, with a confidant like Uncle Weng, Tao Er has a lot of confidence in his heart!" Li Tao is sincerely grateful to King Xiang.

"Tao'er, Uncle Weng still wants to ask you a word, I hope you can tell me truthfully!" King Xiang's eyes shone with wisdom.

"Uncle, you say, I will not hide it from you!" Li Tao nodded.

"Why did you choose Saburo?" (To be continued......)
