Li Longji only glanced at Xiao Jiangyuan's eyes, then turned his eyes to look away, and took two steps back. Xiao Jiangyuan immediately followed, and when she saw Li Longji retreating again, she followed again. Finally, Li Longji couldn't stand it anymore, turned around, walked behind Xiao Jiangyuan, pretended to be dignified and turned his back on his hand, and said, "In short, I have never calculated you, and I will never do it in the future." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan and Li Longji were back to back, listening to his firm tone and voice, and warmth gradually increased in their hearts. The warmth hooked the corners of her lips and dyed the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

"As for Wang Maozhong," Li Longji said again, "he is different from Shangguan Zhaorong, at least I know the roots, and it is easy to manipulate him." Today I let him live, and he can exchange his life for another tomorrow, and this mistake will never be made again, but Shangguan Zhaorong, I can't eat it. ”

“…… Otherwise, Ah Lang thought that the slaves and maids let the eunuchs beat Wang Mao Zhong for so long, just to vent their evil anger for Ah Lang and himself? Xiao Jiangyuan sighed helplessly.

When Li Longji heard this, he suddenly remembered that not long ago, the person who came from the Five Princes' Mansion to deliver the message stayed outside the palace, and as soon as he left the palace, he saw that if Xiao Jiangyuan really wanted to kill Wang Maozhong, he would definitely take that person away, so as not to be stopped by himself, and now, she said such an obvious thing...... It turned out that she was thinking about herself like this.

Li Longji raised his eyebrows in some surprise, turned around to look at her, and just in time to meet Xiao Jiangyuan's turn. Xiao Jiangyuan has returned to his old indifferent smile: "It's okay to kill, it's okay not to kill, if Ah Lang can rush over, then don't kill, but if Ah Lang doesn't come for too long, the slave and maid can also do it." ”

Li Longji chuckled and said, "Tang Lu's murder is a serious crime, and you are not small. ”

"The slave was so timid that he was brought to the palace to be killed."

“…… I really didn't expect that," Li Longji sighed for a long time, "She is like that, but she taught such a you." ”

Li Long was basically teasing, but Xiao Jiangyuan was very serious when he heard it: "At this point, the slave maid is also puzzled. ”

Li Longji was about to say something, when he saw Liu Youqiu rushing over with a gloomy face. He immediately straightened his expression and said, "Duke Liu hasn't left the palace yet?" ”

"Tonight, the minister is on duty in Zhongshu Province." Liu Youqiu took a long look at it, and he couldn't see Xiao Jiangyuan, who was inseparable from Li Longji-everyone has gotten used to it these days, so let's do whatever they like.

"Liu Gong's face is wrong, he ran in a hurry, but something big happened?"

Liu Youqiu sighed lightly, took two steps forward, and said in a low voice: "Xiangwang...... This is the fourth time that he has refused to accept the young emperor's concession. ”

What kind of identity Li Dan is, it is impossible for anyone to persuade him to refuse again, he is waiting for the courtiers to say that they are tired and the number of recitals is about the same, so they can find a larger or more crowded occasion, and refuse it, at most three times is enough. When Li Dan still refused the third time, Li Longji felt that something was wrong, but it can be seen that his aunt was not in a hurry, so he had to hold himself and continue to wait and see.

- My aunt should be more anxious than he is.

At first, the young emperor was lucky, thinking that if he didn't mention it, there would be no one to let him abdicate. There is nothing wrong with his thoughts, even if the emperor in everyone's hearts has been replaced by the prime minister, but as soon as he is on the throne, everyone can't ignore him. Dowager...... No, Webster is already dead after the abolition, and he doesn't have a heinous fault like unfilial piety, who dares to abolish him, and who can abolish him?

Everyone can only wait for him to give the throne to King Xiang, which is logical. But let the current emperor Zen position, which courtier dares to open this mouth, and who can open this mouth? Everyone invariably thought of Princess Taiping, she is the emperor's aunt, and the princess of Zhenguo who was personally crowned by the first emperor, whether public or private, is the most suitable.

Princess Taiping naturally took the lead in this matter. The coup d'état has ended, and there is a sentence in the slogan "support the prime minister as the emperor", if after the coup d'état, this little emperor is still sitting on the throne, then what is the matter with their coup d'état? Are they righteous or rebellious thieves?

Besides, although she and Li Longji have a cooperative relationship, and they are not small in helping Li Longji, but on the night of the coup, it is obvious that Li Longji has contributed more in the eyes of everyone, how can she tolerate everyone who values Li Longji and despises herself? In terms of seniority, she is still an aunt, and when she agreed to cooperate with Li Longji, wasn't it because she didn't want to make wedding clothes for others? It's good now, she has become a green leaf that sets off the red flower, so it is better to wear the wedding dress directly to Li Longji.

Fortunately, God immediately gave her such an opportunity. If the emperor has been pretending to be deaf and dumb, and refuses to give in, no one can do anything to him, but the king will be embarrassed here, and the throne is not ascended, nor is it if he does not ascend. As long as she can resolve this crisis and let King Xiang ascend to the throne smoothly, who can give more credit than her?

But when Princess Taiping was both soft and hard, it was not easy for this good nephew to sign the edict of the Zen position, what did he want to make trouble when Li Dan asked him to refuse? It's just three invitations and three refusals, and you have done all the tricks, but what happened to these four times? Does he want her to be the sinner who forced the young emperor to abdicate?

Princess Taiping was almost mad by this seemingly tranquil but extremely thoughtful eighth brother.

Liu Youqiu briefly talked about what happened below. From the time when Li Longji left just now, Princess Taiping came, and talked about it until Princess Taiping took officials from three provinces and six ministries to ask the prime minister to succeed to the throne, but she was resolutely refused. As soon as Princess Taiping finished saying that she had a headache and left the stage, Liu Youqiu sighed: "Maybe...... King Xiang is not pretending, but he really doesn't want to ......"

"When my aunt was away, she led the officials of the three provinces and six ministries to ask Aya to succeed her?" Li Longji listened carefully and concluded in a deep voice.

Liu Youqiu and Xiao Jiangyuan glanced at each other, and knew the deep meaning of this sentence - Princess Taiping was already suspicious of Li Longji, and she had always shown kindness to the people of Chang'an, and it was evident that those officials were willing to be driven by her.

Xiao Jiangyuan thought for a while and said, "King Xiang may indeed not want to be the emperor, but he didn't agree this time, but it's normal." ”

Liu Youqiu didn't understand this, until he saw Li Longji couldn't help but smile and said: "Under my aunt's such a fierce and powerful situation, if Aya agrees, then it won't be Aye." He finally understood.

Princess Taiping looked calm on the surface, but in fact she was still anxious. She thought that there were more courtiers invited this time, and they were all in important positions, so it was difficult for King Xiang to be gracious, but she didn't want to be no different from forcing the palace in King Xiang's eyes this time. King Xiang has always been cautious, and has always refused to succeed to the throne four times, with a resolute attitude, although there are many external reasons, but there are also internal reasons. Why did he refuse, wasn't it because he didn't want to be restrained by the two great heroes, and continued to be an emperor who was not worthy of the name when Empress Zetian was in power?

Rather than that, it's better not to do it.

If Princess Taiping succeeds this time, then King Xiang will be like she has held the throne with one hand, and then she will once again be a great master. The first emperor still had Wu Sansi and others to take advantage of, but King Xiang only had King Ping to compete with him...... Wait a minute! What happened to King Ping? After all, he is his own son, why not use him to fight against Princess Taiping and balance the court?

Where is King Xiang jealous of Princess Taiping, he obviously doesn't want King Ping to have such a powerful opportunity!

Can...... Why is that?

Is it because after King Xiang became the emperor, King Ping was naturally the crown prince, and King Xiang had not yet ascended the throne, so King Ping had the same complex thoughts as most emperors do to the prince, neither near nor far?

Liu Youqiu raised his eyes to look at Li Longji. This young but mature strategist, who dared to use people with a bearing comparable to that of the Empress Zetian back then, obviously thought of everything, but he only hooked his lips and smiled, as if he didn't care.

Liu Youqiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The lord he followed this time, before he got everything he deserved, he had already begun to be suspicious, his former partner, and so did the future Son of Heaven. There is still a long way to go in the coming days.

This is just the beginning.

Liu Youqiu's gaze then turned to Xiao Jiangyuan. Fang Caiping Wang is also fine, such a deep meaning, she can see through it at a glance, I really don't know if it is because she has served by the side of Empress Zetian, or because of Shangguan Zhaorong's teaching.

Thinking of the day before the coup d'état, Xiao Jiangyuan's eloquent conversation after revealing his identity as an internal servant was both true and false, and it was difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and then looking at her eyebrows and eyes today, her smile was still the same, and her face was commonplace, Liu Youqiu couldn't help but feel from the bottom of his heart that such a person standing by King Ping's side and walking hand in hand with him was really a good match. If she were a woman, it would be even better.

It's a pity, it's a pity, why is she a eunuch?

Although Liu Youqiu only has such an idea today, he has heard it many times from others. Everyone can be among the three provinces and six departments, naturally they are all clear-eyed people, who can't see the ambiguity between King Ping and Xiao Neishi? In the past few days, everyone has been full of praise for King Ping, Xiao Jiangyuan is obviously more popular, this familiarity, they worry more in their spare time, and some people even asked, Xiao Jiangyuan looks like that, won't he be a little lady?

Seeing Liu Youqiu looking at Xiao Jiangyuan thoughtfully, Li Longji's eyes rolled and he said with a smile: "Liu Gong is wondering, is Ah Yuan a beautiful girl?" ”

Liu Youqiu immediately came back to his senses: "The minister doesn't dare." ”

Li Longji said leisurely: "Liu Gong doesn't know, sometimes, even I am contradictory." If she were a man, she would be a pillar of the nation, and she could be a brother with whom she could fellowship; If she is a woman, she will naturally not let her eyebrows be bearded, and she can be a confidant. Either way, it's good for me. But she's a eunuch, which makes me wonder what to do. If she is a brother, do you see her rigid appearance? If you are a confidante...... Alas! ”

Xiao Jiangyuan lowered his eyes and smiled: "Ah Lang said that he laughed." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll not talk about it." Li Longji waved his hand, "Then let's go." ”

Liu You begged: "Where is King Ping going?" ”

Li Longji raised his head and looked forward: "It's all this time, and some people can't go out of the horse." ”
