"And that matter?" Shangguan Yi read his beard and groaned, he gave Wang Shilang who was sitting beside him a look, Wang Shilang understood, and took the officials who came with him out of the private room, Guan Sixing saw this, and understood that Shangguan Yi had some private things to say to him, so that the officials in Yizhou also went out.

There were only two people left in the private room, and Guan Sixing said: "How can the elder of Shangguan Pavilion give advice?" ”

Shangguan Yi got up and walked to the door, and after confirming that there was no one, he said to Guan Sixing: "Sixing, His Royal Highness has been in power for four years, if I remember correctly, His Royal Highness should be more than twenty-eight this year, this is not young, our current emperor also ascended the throne at this age." ”

Guan Sixing nodded and acquiesced to Shangguan Yi's statement.

"It's just that now everyone can see that our Royal Highness's martial arts are stronger than the emperor, and now that the emperor is in good health, there is no problem in living for another thirty or forty years, can we, who are courtiers, still let His Highness wait for thirty or forty years before ascending to the throne? Since the emperor said so, I think that the emperor probably also has an examination school in this area, and now only one person needs to persuade him. Shangguan Yi turned around and leaned in front of Guan Sixing and whispered.

"It's not that it's impossible, it's just that His Highness is benevolent and filial, if he knows about this......" Guan Sixing hesitated.

"Sixing, why are you confused, His Royal Highness is benevolent and filial, but where does this matter of the throne come from, His Royal Highness can't force the palace like the emperor did when he was because of the words benevolence and filial piety, but we ministers can't sit idly by in our eyes, do you want to watch His Royal Highness ascend to the throne in the year of his sixtieth birthday?" Shangguan Yi's tone suddenly became stern.

Guan Sixing was silent, once a son of heaven and a courtier, how could he not understand this truth, now Li Su is indeed a monopoly on power, but it can be seen that there are some things Li Su still does not dare to vigorously reform, this is more or less influenced by Li Shimin, and the taste of being suppressed forever is not pleasant.

"Shangguan Pavilion is reasonable. Since ancient times, the position of the emperor has been obtained by the sage, for the sake of His Royal Highness, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, I Guan Sixing will take this risk. Guan Sixing said firmly.

Showing a smile of appreciation, Shangguan Yi said: "Sixing, you are familiar with Daoist Li Chunfeng, in fact, you don't have to set off in person, you just need to ask Daoist Li Chunfeng to transfer a book to the emperor, with the emperor's shrewdness, he will naturally understand how to make a trade-off at that time." ”

"Books? What book? "Guan Sixing is a good hand in government affairs. But when it was the turn of the power scheme, compared with Shangguan Yi, it was beyond the reach of the horse.

Shangguan Yi said slowly: "The allusion of the three ancient emperors Yao Shunyu. ”

Guan Sixing nodded lightly when he heard this, the focus of this allusion is the meaning of the Zen throne and the inheritance of the emperor by the sage, Li Shimin will naturally understand what it means, "Then I will prepare." Guan Sixing said.

Hearing this, Shangguan Yi gently patted Guan Sixing's shoulder, "Sixing, if His Royal Highness ascends the throne, I will definitely guarantee you to go to Chang'an." You're really overkill in Yizhou. ”

The person who stepped into the officialdom didn't want to rise step by step, Guan Sixing said: "Thank you for the love of the old Shangguan Pavilion." ”

At the end of the banquet, Shangguan Yi returned to Chang'an with the officials, and Guan Sixing invited Li Chunfeng to a matcha tube in Yizhou. After the two drank tea and laughed, Guan Sixing brought his words to the point and said, "Daochang Li, there is one more thing that needs Daochang's help this invitation." ”

Today's Li Chunfeng is no longer purely cultivating in Qingcheng Mountain. Occasionally, he would go to Yizhou University to teach astronomy, and after an encounter with Guan Sixing, who liked astronomy, the two suddenly felt like they had met confidants. We often discuss these astronomical knowledge together," Guan Thorn Shi said. ”

took out a book wrapped in silk cloth from his arms, and Guan Sixing said: "I also ask Daochang Li to transfer this book to the emperor." ”

Taking the book, Li Chunfeng wanted to open the silk cloth, but Guan Sixing held his hand down, and he said: "This is a very important thing, not to let outsiders know." ”

Withdrawing his hand blankly, Li Chunfeng said, "Is this what His Royal Highness wants to hand over to the emperor?" ”

Hearing this, Guan Sixing just smiled and said nothing.

"I see." Li Chunfeng regarded Guan Sixing as a confidant, naturally did not suspect that there were ghosts in it, Guan Sixing smiled silently, he also took it as a default, the two ate tea for an hour, and Li Chunfeng returned to Qingcheng Mountain by car when the sun set.

Li Shimin has followed Yuan Tiangang to practice Taoism since he came to Qingcheng Mountain, and now Yuan Tiangang is old, but he has a childish face and looks like a fluttering fairy, which makes Li Shimin more and more obsessed with the art of Taoism, and in order to let Li Shimin have a clean environment, Qingcheng Mountain has also been a guest since then, but there are many Taoist children on this mountain who serve Li Shimin's diet and daily life.

In the evening, Li Shimin had just finished meditating, and he wanted to go out for a walk, but he met Li Chunfeng who was going up the mountain, and he smiled and said, "Daochang Li went to Yizhou University to give a lecture again?" ”

Li Chunfeng returned the salute and said, "Back to Your Majesty, I returned to a friend who went down the mountain from the poor road, and he also asked me to bring a book to His Highness." ”

"Oh." Li Shimin said a little strangely: "Who is it?" Give me back a book. ”

"It's this Yizhou Assassin Guan Sixing, this book seems to have been transferred to the emperor by His Royal Highness." Li Chunfeng said honestly.

Taking the book wrapped in white silk cloth in Li Chunfeng's hand, Li Shimin opened it casually and took a look, the lights in the distance were dim, but he looked at the allusions in the book word for word, but he was not shocked, but smiled helplessly, "These Yizhou officials really can't wait, hey." ”

Seeing Li Shimin sighing, Li Chunfeng said: "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with this book?" ”

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "It's okay, Daoist Li should go and take care of his own affairs." ”

After that, Li Shimin turned around and went back to his room, and then put the book in the wastebasket, he thought about it for a while and knew that this was a good thing that the officials sent by Yizhou did, but these officials obviously underestimated the relationship between Li Shimin and Li Su, and also underestimated his Li Shimin's mind and courage, after Li Su firmly controlled the Tang Dynasty, he thought of the Zen position, and the reason why he still held on to the throne all these years was not to covet power, but to be afraid that Li Su would not be able to suppress those officials in Chang'an, And now Li Su's prestige has exceeded his expectations, and he thinks that he should also make this decision, because he understands that the throne at this time is a bottle of poison for him, and holding it in his hand will not do him any good, but will harm his own life, and this book sent by Li Chunfeng just proves this, some people can't wait, thinking about this, Li Shimin asked people to clean up, he plans to return to Chang'an.

Since asking Li Chunfeng to hand over the book to Li Shimin, Guan Sixing, who was sober from alcohol, has been worried every day, secretly hating how he suddenly believed Shangguanyi's words when he was dizzy, if Li Shimin was furious because of this, I am afraid that his entire family will be beheaded by all over the house.

After two days of panic, Guan Sixing suddenly received a call from Shangguan Yi on this day, and Shangguan Yi was very excited on the phone, and told Guan Sixing that he had decided to locate Zen in Li Su in the early court, and that a Zen ceremony would be held in the near future, and he kept praising Guan Sixing, so that Guan Sixing, who was in panic, was finally relieved.

Chang'an City, the news of Li Shimin's Zen position has been well known, but this news seems to have become a topic of conversation after dinner, whether it is the people or the officials are a copy of what it should be, of course, they praise Li Shimin's mind to abdicate and make way for the virtuous, and Li Shimin can be regarded as having a good reputation for himself.

After Li Shimin returned to Chang'an, he immediately convened the ministers, and in front of Li Su, Li Shimin praised Li Su, and then told the allusion of Yao Shunyu's Zen throne, and then said that Li Su was more virtuous than him, and he now had no intention of ruling the government, and decided to give the throne to Li Su.

After Li Shimin's words ended, the entire court fell silent, and the eldest grandson Wuji and these old ministers all knelt down and cried bitterly, but no one chose to persuade Li Shimin to continue to stay on the throne, because they understood that Li Shimin was a really smart person, and instead of being driven down, it was better to abdicate in a beautiful way, so that Li Su could be grateful, and always treat Li Shimin well, so that he could spend his old age quietly and not repeat the mistakes of Li Yuan back then.
