Princess Taiping finally waited for Li Dan to say this. She didn't have the slightest smugness, but calmed down, looked at Li Dan solemnly, and said slowly: "The Son of Heaven wants to abolish the prince, how can there be anything that can't be done, just look at why this prince is abolished." ”

After Li Dan pondered for a while, Princess Taiping said again: "Dare to ask the sage, do you really want to abolish the prince and set up another East Palace?" ”

"I ......" Li Dan hesitated for a moment, and sighed heavily, "Actually, I never wanted to make San Lang the crown prince, it was the Tang Dynasty, the ministers and even the Dalang who wanted him to come to the East Palace, so I ......"

Princess Taiping was a little more relieved, but she still had some lingering palpitations about Li Dan's indecision, so she asked: "So far, can the saint make up his mind?" ”

Li Dan couldn't help frowning: "I said that, and you still ask me that." Do you have to force me to be unkind to my father? ”

Princess Taiping thought about it and smiled leisurely: "Brother don't be careful, my mother asked so precisely, I also want to know whether Brother is firm." If the elder brother makes up his mind, the young lady will definitely help him and let the eldest man ascend to the throne of the prince; But if Brother Ah is not firm, then Mi Niang has to never enter the palace today, Ah Ge has never said anything, and Mi Niang has never heard anything. ”

"You're ......"

"Brother, don't forget, the crown prince is the foundation of the country and the future emperor. He is much younger than us, naturally he lives longer than us, in order to spend his old age safely, my mother doesn't dare to really offend him. ”

Li Dan was still a little hesitant, but when he heard this, his heart suddenly certain: "The future emperor, even you don't dare to offend him?" When did he have such ability? This is a ...... of it," he paced a few times, and finally brushed his sleeves and said, "I have made up my mind, the Sanlang City Mansion is too deep, and for the safety of Dalang and them, they will never stand!" ”

Princess Taiping said: "That's right. In the past, my grandfather made Aya the crown prince, wasn't it because Aya was benevolent and soft-hearted, and he would be able to keep his brother safe? Brother can have this enlightenment, it is the blessing of the Tang Dynasty, no wonder some people say that the world has the style of Zhenguan Yonghui in the past. ”

Li Dan was a little embarrassed, thought about it, and said, "If you have any ideas, just do it." The abolition of the country's capital must be justified, even if I am the Son of Heaven, I cannot act willfully. ”

"That's nature." Princess Taiping bowed her head and said, "Since Brother A's mind has been decided, there are no taboos for my mother." It's just that recently, San Lang and Xiao Jiangyuan have been estranged for half a month, and they are afraid that they are suspicious of the source of the rumors, just in case, deliberately. It's just a matter of motherhood, I'm afraid that San Lang will suspect my brother, so that San Lang will inevitably take precautions and even ......"

"Or even what?"

"Defending is attacking."

Li Dan said: "Could it be that he still dares to kill the monarch and kill his father, and seek to usurp the throne?" ”

"That's not true, it's just that for him, launching a coup d'état is still a familiar road."

"That'...... What should I do? ”

In August of the first year of Jingyun, Li Dan ordered Concubine Wang Xian to preside over the selection of official women for the crown prince Li Longji and enrich the East Palace. It wasn't until September that Concubine Wang Xian finally set up three little ladies, and when Li Dan agreed, she could be hired into the palace.

After all, they haven't passed the door yet, and they are all the daughters of the ministers, although the Tang Dynasty is open, Li Dan can't be too casual, so what Li Dan sees at this moment is the portrait of the three of them - the little lady has already been sent home by Concubine Wang Xian to wait for the news.

Among the three, the Dong family, Li Dan is the most satisfied. Although his father and brother were officials in the court, they were actually idle and out of turmoil, which did not provide much help to Li Longji and threatened him, nor would he cause trouble for Li Longji, making Li Longji suspicious, and he was really the most suitable candidate. But for the other two, Li Dan was a little puzzled.

"Although this Yang family is from Hongnong, he is a side branch, and he is Li Chongjun's wife and sister, is it not appropriate to ration San Lang?" Li Dan chose a concubine room for Li Longji to make him feel at ease, not to block him.

Seeing that Li Dan cared so much about the choice of San Lang's concubine, Concubine Wang Xian was very happy, held her husband's arm intimately, tilted her head and said, "The question that Balang thought of, Fang Niang has already thought of. The reason why she was kept until the end naturally had Fang Niang's reason - did Hachiro forget that the first step in the selection was to calculate the eight-character life of the little ladies by the Taishi Bureau? ”

"This Yang Clan's life lord is extremely expensive?"

"In fact, the three fates are all indescribably expensive, in comparison, the most suitable Dong clan is the most ordinary, and this Yang clan not only has the most noble fate, but also lures out Li Chunfeng, who has been in retreat."

The Taishi Bureau is a special existence, the closest place to heaven in the mortal world. This is not to say how high it is, but that the officials in it not only have to calculate the calendar and preside over the sacrifices, but also observe the heavens at night and measure people's lives, and in the eyes of the people of the world, they can talk to the heavens. Therefore, the official position of the Taishi Bureau is different from other court official positions, most of them are hereditary, and even the master and apprentice are rarely passed on.

The last two generations of the Taishi Bureau are masters and apprentices, the master is Yuan Tiangang, since Wu Cao died and has been in seclusion, until now he does not know life and death, and the apprentice is Li Chunfeng. This Li Chunfeng has a very withdrawn personality, most of the time he is bored in the house by himself, and whoever comes to him will say that he will not see him in retreat. His ability is to keep improving, but unfortunately not only did he not get married and have children, but he didn't even have an apprentice. Seeing that he is old, even if he gets married, it is unlikely that he will have children, but he has always refused to accept apprentices, so that there are successors to the Taishi Bureau, and Li Dan is anxious for him.

Of course, I am also anxious for Datang.

Hearing that a mere Yang family could cause Li Chunfeng to be so abnormal, Li Dan was naturally very surprised: "Li Chunfeng can see the Yang family's eight characters? ”

Concubine Wang Xian said: "Not only did I see the eight characters, but I also insisted on seeing the portrait of the Yang family, but I couldn't resist him, so I showed it to him." He kept muttering, I only heard a little, what 'it would be nice to see a real person', 'life is thin but expensive', 'fear of early death and grief and glory', the most important sentence is '** respect'. ”

“**？ Can this Yang become a **? Li Dan was shocked.

Concubine Wang Xian spread her hands: "So, even if her family background is a little worse, she must stay." ”

Li Chunfeng's judgment, Li Dan didn't dare not believe it, but if the Yang family can really become a ** one day, but he made her Li Longji's concubine, wouldn't it be to help Li Longji, and his plan to abolish the prince would be doomed to failure?

"Hachiro, Hachiro?" Seeing that her husband was stunned, Concubine Wang Xian stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Li Dan, "There is no other problem, I will send someone to hire Yang Shili into the palace." ”

"Wait!" Li Dan said immediately.

"Hachiro...... But what's not to like? ”

"It's not dissatisfied, it's ...... It's ......"

Concubine Wang Xian didn't understand Li Dan's thoughts a little: "Hachiro, you asked me to choose a side concubine for San Lang, Yang's life is like this, even if other little ladies don't want it, you should keep her, right?" San Lang is the crown prince, and the Yang family was originally chosen for him, isn't it just right? Why don't you seem to want San Lang to accept Yang's ......?"

"I ...... I just ......" Li Dan really couldn't answer, so he sighed a little angrily, threw the portrait casually, and sat down on the circle chair to drink tea, in order to calm down.

"Hachiro, the crown prince is established, don't think nonsense anymore, otherwise you will add chaos to the Tang Dynasty." Seeing that Li Dan was still hesitant, Concubine Wang Xian suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but open her mouth wide in surprise. She covered her lips with both hands and looked at Li Dan in disbelief, "Hachiro, you ...... You won't be ...... You want to accept the Yang family yourself, right?! ”

Li Dan squirted out all the tea in one gulp.

Concubine Wang Xian immediately turned around and dodged, and then said: "The concubine knows that she is old and yellow, and she is the last to pass the door, so she is not worthy of being a queen, but there is also Sister Doulu above, even if Hachiro and Sister Doulu are no longer in love with each other, after all, they have not yet separated." If Hachiro wants to be a queen, he should also be Sister Doulu first. Even if Sister Doulu is unwilling, Hachiro wants to marry another, then ...... Then don't pick among the candidates for your daughter-in-law......"

Li Dan coughed for a long time. He kept wanting to interrupt Concubine Wang Xian's speech, but he coughed so much that he couldn't even breathe, and finally recovered, he hurriedly said: "The crown princess is still here, and the Yang family is ...... Even if she is selected, what kind of daughter-in-law is she? Thinking about whether this should be done, I couldn't help but take a sip of myself in my heart, and said busily, "Who...... Who said I was going to be crowned queen? ”

"That'...... What was Hachiro just hesitating about? ”

Li Dan helped his forehead, thought about it, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Let's go, let's stay with this Yang family!" ”

Concubine Wang Xian said "oh", and immediately prepared for the ceremony, as if she was afraid that Li Dan would regret it. Li Dan expressed his helplessness about this, but he couldn't give up, blaming this lover who had always accompanied him with the most simple attitude. He had no choice but to secretly pray to heaven to let his fate change, and not let him lose to Li Longji.

In the end, this little lady, Li Dan didn't have the patience to look at it, and Concubine Wang Xian just said: "Actually, this one, it's okay if you don't look at the portrait, anyway, you know it." I chose her because ......"

Li Dan waved his hand: "Okay, okay, you can send someone directly to hire me, I still have some political affairs to deal with, so I won't stay long." ”

Concubine Wang Xian never stopped Li Dan and let him come and go, and this time it was the same. She only watched him leave, and then began to sort out the scroll, when the eunuch came to report that King Xue was coming, and she immediately happily put the painting in her hand and walked out of the hall.

The portrait of the little lady at the end was pressed under Yang's, revealing only a corner.

There, the word "Wu" was written.

In October, the three little ladies were welcomed into the East Palace. The Dong family is Liangdi, the Yang family and the Wu family are Liangyuan, and there is also a Yang Liangdi who entered the East Palace with them.

This was given to the crown prince Li Longji by Princess Taiping, named Yang Zhenyi, the daughter of Yang Cheng of Changningbo, and her ancestor was Yang Shigui, the younger brother of the Sui Dynasty. This Yang Shigui is not famous, but his two granddaughters are very famous, one married Li Yuanji and became the princess of Chao, and the other married Li Ke, since the princess of Wu was posthumously named the princess of Shu.

The Yang family is already a beauty, and this Yang Liangdi is said to have inherited all the advantages of the former Princess Chao and the Shu princess, and parachuted, so she also took the position of Liangdi, who originally belonged to another Yang family, standing among the other three daughters, and she couldn't think of it. She looked calm, as if nothing had anything to do with her.

The swan song of the Tang Dynasty
