[Chapter 24: Princess Zhenguo Returns to Chang'an] (2)
Xiao Jiangyuan blinked in a daze, and felt that his cheeks were a little hot. Her lips were still hot, she pursed them slightly, her teeth biting her lips, and her mind came to her senses.
As if nothing had happened just now, Xiao Jiangyuan said lightly: "Next, what is Ah Lang going to do?" ”
Li Longji didn't come up in one breath and almost choked to death. He glanced at Xiao Jiangyuan and walked away.
But the next day, the two were inseparable again.
Regarding the behavior of these two people who are sometimes close as if they want to be pasted, and sometimes as far away as if they are thousands of miles apart, the eunuchs of the East Palace said that they are accustomed to it and do not need to be surprised, and the courtiers have different eyes, but their eyes have not yet been idle on Xiao Jiangyuan - but in a few days, Li Dan ordered to build two Taoist temples for his two daughters, Princess Jinxian and Princess Yuzhen, and the site occupies a lot of dwellings, and it is expected to cost a lot of money.
"Aren't the two renovated Taoist temples living well before? He was the one who said that he wanted his daughter to make do with it, but now he feels that his daughter is not living well, and he is the one who wants to improve his daughter's life, how long has it been? Our Datang Son of Heaven is really fickle. ”
"It's not that the Son of Heaven is fickle, but the world is changeable, and the prince of the East Palace is like the rising sun, it seems that ah......"
"What does it seem?"
"The Son of Heaven is going to compromise for the crown prince, you still can't see what's wrong?"
"Is it possible...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to follow the example of Emperor Taizong? ”
"I don't know about this, but the world is going to change hands, and this is certain."
"Shut up, you all dare to say anything!"
"My house has been forcibly occupied, and you won't let me say a few words?"
"Let's go, let's go, let's go......"
Not far from the crowd, stood a woman in a Taoist robe. Mi Li covered her tightly until she reached out and lifted it a little, revealing a pair of smart but somewhat deep eyes.
No one expected that Li Dan's will would be so firm this time, even if Princess Zhenguo came back, she did not give up the idea of passing on the throne to Li Longji.
Princess Taiping did not have a trace of dissatisfaction with this, but was very obedient to all Li Dan's decisions, and her attitude towards Li Longji was more than a little better. As a result, the courtiers involuntarily revered the East Palace and Li Longji, and their daily salutes were much more upright.
In the Liangyi Palace, the courtiers were so annoyed by the two Taoist temples of Jinxian and Yuzhen that Li Dan wanted to step down from the throne immediately. His thoughts are simple and simple, he thought that in the name of A-Niang's prayers, he sent Li Longji's two half-sisters to become female Taoist priests, in order to suppress Li Longji and let him reduce some help, and now that he has decided to pass on the throne to him, he must eliminate the suppression as much as possible.
At this time, the female Taoist priest can't return to the vulgar, so she can only start from the residence. Didn't he order someone to clean up the two old Taoist temples casually, and let them live in, this time he wanted to rebuild, which just shows that the Son of Heaven attaches great importance to the prince's sister, and he is even more important to the prince, and is willing to entrust him with important tasks.
As a result, the ministers were too uncooperative. Li Dan couldn't help but ask, didn't you all help the prince, why are you dismantling his platform now?
He didn't say anything, but his sister saw it, and said with a smile: "Zhongqing's heart is for the Tang Dynasty and the saints, naturally everything is considered for the Tang Dynasty and the saints, this kind of practice is beneficial to the prince, but it will do more harm than good to the country and the saints." ”
Hearing these words, Li Dan's heart suddenly felt a little sudden, and even happy. As early as when he found out that the ministers were much more solemn in their salutes to the prince, he was a little uncomfortable. It is one thing for him to take the initiative to pass on the throne to the crown prince, and everyone is waiting for him to pass on the throne, so that he has to pass on the throne, that is another matter.
Li Dan finally did not agree with the ministers' words. His thoughts are still simple and simple: he is an emperor who is about to abdicate, and he doesn't want to be led by the nose by his courtiers anymore, but just how harmful can it be to build two Taoist temples? As long as the temple is built, who remembers what happened before it was built?
But the ministers didn't think it was simple, and from then on, they became more and more respectful to the prince.
As a result, less than ten days later, Li Dan's new edict fell into the water like a stone from a high place, setting off thousands of waves.
"Who? Who became the prime minister again? ”
"It's the one who married Wei Shuren's nurse back then."
"Dou Congyi?"
"People have reverted to their original name, called Dou Huaizhen - this name is really ironic."
"Just because he was the only one who supported the saint to build the two Taoist temples of Jinxian and Yuzhen before?"
“…… Since Wei Shuren fell, he has been the doorman of the princess of Zhenguo. ”
"I see."
The ministers talked about this, and in the East Palace, Li Longji couldn't cry or laugh: "I really have the hearts of the people and the hearts of the people when I lose." Aya obviously felt that I could succeed to the throne naturally without his support. He felt uncomfortable, but he was afraid that this matter of succession was going to go wrong. ”
"I told you a long time ago that you have to be more obscure than before, this is good, such a large palace is not enough for you to be public." Li Zhiying spread her legs and sat on the mat with her legs outstretched, pouting while eating pears.
"Most of the ministers are now seeing the wind and the rudder, what are they going to do to me, can I stop them?" Li Longji was very aggrieved.
"Xianggong Dou is now just a regular matter under the same Zhongshu Sect, and he is not a serious prime minister, he has part of the power of the prime minister, and he can't make a big deal, His Royal Highness and the princess don't have to worry about it." Xiao Jiangyuan said lightly, "It's the princess of Zhenguo, it's rare to be so calm this time." ”
Li Zhiying said: "Dou Huaizhen can be the prime minister, this is my aunt's war against the third brother, and she will be victorious, and the third brother must also return the color." ”
Li Longji said: "Didn't you still let me Taoguang keep my eyes open?" ”
"Fang is the only way, Aye's mind has changed again, no matter how the third brother is restrained now, in Aya's eyes, it is just a scene and Bo Qunchen sympathizes. This will only make Aya even more disgusted with the third brother. ”
"What else?"
"What else?"
Li Longji smiled, turned his eyes to look at Xiao Jiangyuan, and listened to her: "Also, the prince today is no longer the prince of the past. He needs to let the ministers see his courage and determination to confront the princess of Zhenguo, he is orthodox, and he needs to make the ministers full of fighting spirit and confidence while supporting him. At the same time, it is also necessary to let the saint see the strength of the crown prince. The saint and the crown prince, from this moment on, are no longer father and son. And between kings and ministers, filial piety does not apply. ”
Li Longji added: "The conspiracy is no longer applicable, and the dispute between the court and the court is still the majority. The more upright you are, the more difficult it is to overcome. First of all, I have to let the world know that I am not a nominal prince, even if it is an aunt, she can't help me. ”
"So the third brother already knows what to do now?"
"I can't let the ministers just stare at you and the Golden Immortals." Li Longji hooked the corners of his lips, but his eyes were slightly dim, and when he threw himself at Xiao Jiangyuan, he actually revealed a trace of emptiness.
Xiao Jiangyuan didn't ask, nor did he pay attention to Li Longji's expression. Anyway, since Ah Lang is going to do it, she will know sooner or later, and when he finishes it, if she doesn't expect it, it will be a surprise for her.
Li Zhiying noticed it, and couldn't help but feel that he was really redundant here. As soon as she got up to leave, she was stopped by Li Longji: "You can't just leave." ”
“…… So how do I get there? ”
"Walk sideways."
“……”
Princess Yuzhen proudly walked out of the East Palace, although she was wearing a Taoist robe, she was even more proud than the princess wearing gold and silver. This matter soon reached Li Dan's ears, although he felt a little dissatisfied and wanted to take care of this daughter who had been worrying about her temperament since she was a child, but in the end she couldn't make it.
The reason for this is clear to Li Longji, and Princess Taiping is also clear.
Before the Son of Heaven could help him, Donggong was impatient to show his power and connections, which was enough to make any Son of Heaven jealous. Li Dan is an indecisive and changeable person, and he has always been more inclined to abolish San Lang and replace Da Lang, this jealousy is enough to make him hesitate.
In his eyes, Li Longji was obviously prepared, and his plan to pass on the throne seemed to have helped others a lot.
In this case, let's take a look at the matter of passing on the throne, before that, it is better to balance the DPRK and the middle, so he will naturally be re-picked up by Li Dan, for the East Palace, he will also wait and see more indulgence than discipline, it is best for the East Palace to make something big, just let him get what he has wanted for many years.
Step by step, according to Princess Taiping's vision, walking very steadily.
Princess Taiping didn't have any relaxation, but there was one thing, she wanted to do it first, and then continue, but she didn't want someone to speak before her-
"I implore the saint to let Shangguan Zhaorong enter the earth for peace."
The swan song of the Tang Dynasty
