Although many years have passed since what Li Dan said, it still sounds like Li Longji and Li Tao are full of emotion.

Since ancient times, the bottom line of measuring the moral standards of emperors is often different from that of ordinary people. They may not be good people, but they are good emperors. For example, Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, killed his brother and brother with his own hands, and killed ten nephews after seizing the throne, but Li Shimin is a generation of Ming monarchs. Wu Zetian's political achievements are extraordinary, her ruthlessness comes from the crazy pursuit of power, and her super desire for power makes her ruthless and disown her six relatives. The emperor's family does not have the harmony and family affection of the people's family, and the children of the emperor's family live in fear, and they will sacrifice at any time for the imperial power. As a mother, when Wu Zetian was killing, she seemed to leave some family affection for her children: for many years, she has been silently praying for the little princess, when the prince Li Xian was killed, the eldest son was killed, and the second son survived, indicating that Wu Zetian has a trace of softness in human nature, and he did not kill them all, and treated Li Xian, although he was abolished and thrown out of the capital, he did not clean him up for more than ten years, and there was also a mother-son relationship among his sons, and Xue Shao was killed, and there was no Princess Taiping of Zhulian. These all show that Wu Zetian's humanity has not been completely extinguished, and the grievances and hatreds between her and her children are needed for power struggles, as well as helplessness and entanglement.

Li Dan suddenly became a little sad: "The reason why I am telling you this is to let you understand that the reason why Taiping has become what it is today is not entirely her fault. From childhood to adulthood, what she heard, what she said, and what she did was all calculations and schemes, how could she not hear and witness it? Now, there are six brothers and sisters, and only the two of us are left, can you understand my feelings? ”

Li Tao and Li Longji nodded silently.

……

Cui Xiang got up, still expressionless. He said to Princess Taiping, "Come, princess." I'll toast you three times. ”

Princess Taiping was very surprised, although Cui Xiang was obedient to herself. But he rarely toasted himself, and this was the first time he toasted three glasses in a row.

After Princess Taiping and Cui Xiang drank three cups of each other, Cui Xiang said lightly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, let me tell you a story!" ”

Princess Taiping smiled charmingly: "Okay! ”

"Once upon a time, there was a Lang Jun who liked the woman he loved, and this woman's name was Shangguan Wan'er......"

When Princess Taiping finished listening to Cui Xiang's speech, she only felt that her hair was swollen, her eyes were black, and a string of bright tears fell. At the same time, black blood dripping from the nose and mouth.

"You poisoned this wine just to avenge Shangguan Wan'er?" Princess Taiping's eyes are godless.

"Yes! I've been waiting for this day for a long time. ”

"What I have today is due to you and Li Tao?"

"Yes! Just to give you a taste of what is about to come and what you will lose. ”

With a "boom", Princess Taiping rolled over and fell to the ground with the chair, she was no longer breathing, but her eyes were wide open, and from her face, you could see remorse, resentment, and even fear. A sneer lingered on the corner of her mouth. I didn't want to disperse for a long time......

Cui Xiang also gradually lost consciousness, and he kept shouting in his heart: "Wan'er, I'm coming, I'm coming......"

……

Yang Siqiao entered the palace. said to Li Tao: "King Lantian, Pei Yue is here, he said that there is something important!" ”

Li Tao nodded and said to Li Dan: "Uncle Weng." I'll come when I go. ”

After a while, Li Tao came in again. Although he didn't say a word, Li Dan and Li Longji both felt something strange about him.

"What's wrong. Taoer? Li Dan asked.

Li Tao hesitated again and again and sighed: "Uncle Weng, there is bad news!" ”

"Let's get straight to the point!" Li Dan seemed to have a premonition.

"Princess Taiping, she ......"

"Taiping, she's dead, isn't she?" Li Dan said.

"Yes!"

Li Tao's words came out, and the three of them were silent.

Li Longji's chest rose and fell sharply, he exhaled heavily, and his whole body seemed to be a lot more relaxed, he glanced at Li Dan, and stopped talking.

Li Dan seemed to be much older and flabby all of a sudden, and even his body became rickety.

"How did Taiping die?" Li Dan was the first to break the silence.

Li Tao didn't speak, but handed over a piece of paper.

After Li Dan read it: "So, Shangguan Wan'er was also killed by Taiping, no wonder Cui Xiang has been following Taiping, he has been waiting for this day for a long time, right?" ”

Li Tao did not speak.

"Is Cui Xiang also dead?"

Li Tao nodded.

"Iniquity!" Li Dan muttered to himself.

After a long time, Li Dan said slowly: "Go back, I'm tired and want to rest." ”

Li Tao and Li Longji glanced at each other.

"Father, San Lang has retired!"

"Uncle, Tao'er has retired!"

……

The next day, Emperor Taishang Li Dan issued an edict: "From now on, all military and political punishments will be punished by the emperor." I have nothing to do to nourish my ambition, so as to follow my heart. ”

Tang Xuanzong Li Longji officially grasped the supreme power of the Tang Dynasty, and he named the era as Kaiyuan, which means to open up a new era. At this point, a new era began.

……

"Atao, you're a rare guest, why are you free today?" Hua Yunfeng looked at Li Tao in surprise.

"I'm free now, I can walk around often, and I can't get to you." Li Tao said with a smile.

Li Tao is not joking, after Li Longji took the throne, Li Tao resigned from his auxiliary general and handed over military power to Li Longji. Like the last few times, he also refused to go to court, and finally lived a leisure life again. Not only Li Tao, but even Liu Xuan, Li Tao's spokesman in the court, also resigned from the post of secretary of the Criminal Department.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Hua Yunfeng knew that Li Tao had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace.

Li Tao was also polite: "Hua Langzhong, have you thought about the good things I told you before?" ”

Hua Yunfeng was inexplicable: "What's the matter?" ”

"Have you forgotten? It's the thing that helped me train Langzhong. Li Tao reminded.

After being reminded by Li Taoyi, Hua Yunfeng suddenly realized. At the beginning, Li Tao asked Hua Yunfeng to help train some first aid Langzhong, and in the future, he would put them in the army to help treat the wounded soldiers in the war. After Li Tao finished talking about this, he never asked again, it has been more than a year now, Hua Yunfeng thought that Li Tao was just talking, and when he saw him mention this matter again today, he knew that he was serious.

After thinking for a while, Hua Yunfeng said: "I can't do this alone, I have to find someone to help?" ”

"Looking for someone to help? Who to look for? Li Tao asked.

"Find Song Lin!"

"Song Lin? Who is Song Lin? Li Tao asked.

"Speaking of which, this Song Lin is famous in Chang'an......"

……

In the west city of Chang'an, Tang Dynasty, there are 220 rows and tens of thousands of shops, including medicine, jewelry, and catering. Among the many industries, the pharmaceutical industry is very developed. (To be continued......)
