Chapter 382: A slap doesn't make a sound
Li Tao pondered for a moment and said: "Uncle, the emperor's illustrious status is the envy of thousands of people, but ascending to this position is equivalent to going to prison, losing not only personal freedom, but also the opportunity to do what he likes, which in my opinion is definitely worth the loss." Rather than that, it is better to let the person who should do it and like it be the emperor, which is why I always keep myself out of it. ”
Li Chengqi nodded appreciatively and said, "Tao'er, although I am your elder, I am far from being able to see through you. Thank you, Taoer, I know what I have to do! ”
……
Li Longji came to the meditation room presided over by Purun of Tianci Temple as promised.
"Master, hasn't King Lantian come yet?" Li Longji couldn't wait to ask.
"King Lantian has never been here, not now, and will not come in the future!" Purun said lightly.
"Huh?" Li Longji didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Purun Gourd, so he was stunned on the spot.
In Purun's words, "although the king of Lantian does not come, but the king of Ping has troubles and can often come to Tianci Temple to burn a few pillars of incense, what I said is no different from what the king of Lantian said, and the king of Ping can save a lot of trouble by devoting himself to the Buddha." ”
Li Longji is also a smart person, he can understand it at a glance, he smiled and said: "What the master said is extremely true, I will often come to listen to the master in the future!" ”
Pu Run slapped his face a few times, and then asked, "King Ping, I don't know what you heard?" ”
Li Longji nodded: "Naturally, I heard the sound of high-fives." ”
"You can hear the sound of your palms hitting each other, but if it's a slap, you might hear the sound?" Pu Run asked with a smile.
"How does a slap sound?"
"Isn't that right? King Ping just has to go back, only your slap can't be slapped. ”
Li Longji lost his voice and said, "Is it my eldest brother?" Tao'er has ......"
Purun put his hands together and said, "Don't say it, don't say it......"
……
At the tenth dynasty meeting in early April, Dou Congyi, the prime minister of the Taiping Princess Group, took the lead in attacking.
Dou Congyi is Webster's sworn friend. After Tang Long's coup d'état, he took the path of Princess Taiping and avoided death and was demoted to the rank of Sima of Haozhou. Dou Cong, who tasted the sweetness, gritted his teeth and was ruthless, bleeding again, and sure enough, he got the position of prime minister from Princess Taiping.
Today, at the behest of Princess Taiping, Dou Congyi said to Ruizong: "It has been several months since Your Majesty ascended the throne. Now it's time to make a prince. ”
Since Princess Taiping and Li Longji had special contributions to the reset, Ruizong had special trust in them. Whenever the prime minister asks about something, he says. Have you discussed with Princess Taiping? Have you discussed it with Saburo? The two controlled the power of the imperial court, and the civil and military officials looked at them sideways. But today's matter is not trivial, this matter has a lot to do with Princess Taiping and King Peace, if it is not handled well. That's going to be a big problem.
Ruizong thought to himself. If only Tao Er was here, he would definitely have a good idea. Since Ruizong ascended the throne, except for seeing Li Tao during the Chinese New Year, he has never seen his shadow again, let alone the upper court.
Li Tao couldn't count on it, and the matter in front of him was so tricky, Ruizong had to push the ball: "Everyone Aiqing, Ning Wang Chengqi is the eldest son." Ping Wang Longji has made great contributions, and the two have their own strengths. Tell me who you should make the prince? ”
As soon as Ruizong's words fell, Dou Congyi said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, there have been successors who are not virtuous, and who are noble but not long, King Ning is the eldest son, and he has the talent to govern the country, and the minister thinks that it is appropriate to establish King Ning as the crown prince." ”
Dou Congyi was the prime minister who was supported by Princess Taiping, and when he spoke, the civil and military officials understood that this was what Princess Taiping meant. As a result, all the ministers echoed and asked King Lining to be the crown prince.
Li Longji listened to the performance of the ministers, and was very depressed, he took such a big risk to carry out a coup d'état, and finally brought down the Wei family. Li Tao reassured him, but the situation in front of him was ......
At this moment, Liu Youqiu came out to speak. Liu Youqiu is Li Longji's military advisor, and he has just become prime minister through a coup d'état, so he naturally wants to speak for Li Longji.
Liu You begged to go up: "Those who hear about the disasters of the world should enjoy the blessings of the world." The danger of King Ping's salvation and the difficulty of saving the monarch's relatives are great in terms of merit, and the most virtuous in language and morality, and there are no suspicious people. ”
Liu Youqiu's meaning is very clear, the whole world is beaten down by King Ping, and His Majesty is also given by King Ping, how can His Majesty not let him be the prince?
Liu Youqiu not only made great contributions to the coup, but also spoke with great weight. As soon as he said this, many ministers of Li Longji's family also echoed him.
Dou Cong, who represented Princess Taiping, and Liu Youqiu, who represented Li Longji, the king of Ping, argued with each other, which made Ruizong a headache.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say." A voice rang out in the main hall.
When the ministers saw it, it turned out to be Li Chengqi, the king of Ning. Li Chengqi is a party to the election of the crown prince, so he naturally has the right to speak.
Ruizong nodded and said, "King Ning has something to do!" ”
Everyone held their breath and wanted to hear what King Ning had to say, and the court suddenly fell silent.
"Primogeniture is only applicable in peacetime, and in the event of a political change, the merit must be considered first. This is the case now, so I must not be this prince. After that, Li Chengqi cried bitterly, his attitude was very clear, and he insisted on making Li Longji the prince.
Dou Congyi and the others were dumbfounded when they saw that Li Chengqi insisted on not being the prince, and they glanced at Princess Taiping.
Princess Taiping, who had not said a word from beginning to end, had a gloomy face at the moment, and she couldn't understand that Li Chengqi would give up the position of prince at her fingertips, and Li Chengqi's move completely disrupted her overall plan.
Seeing this situation, Li Dan of Tang Ruizong immediately issued an edict and made Li Longji, the king of Liping, the crown prince.
……
Some people are happy and some are worried, Li Longji is naturally overjoyed to become the prince as he wishes, but in another corner of Chang'an, there is a person who is borrowing wine alone to drown his sorrows. Speaking of which, this person is also famous in Chang'an City, he is Wang Hufeng, who is known as the richest man in Chang'an.
Wang Hufeng used to have a good relationship with Wei and Princess An Le, and got a lot of benefits from them. After the coup d'état of Tang Long, Wang Hufeng's backer fell, and some people accused him of being Webster's remnants, if this crime is confirmed, not only his family wealth will be confiscated, but also his life will not be saved. Wang Hufeng is worthy of going through a lot of wind and waves, and he knows who to find to save his life at this time. Sure enough, when he went to Princess Taiping's mansion, everything went as he wished. Of course, only he knows how much he spent.
The house leak happened to be rainy, and just when he was secretly glad to save his life, his mood turned bad again, and the culprit was Chang'an's Fan firm. (To be continued......)
