[Chapter 17: Chongjun Coup and Xiao Langgui] (1)

Li Longji thought about it carefully: "The young man is spirited, he has a certain amount of courage, and his mind is ...... Too immature, not mature enough. ”

"Well, it's far worse than the king." Xiao Jiangyuan pursed his lips and smiled.

"You dare to joke with me?" Li Longji raised his eyebrows lightly.

Xiao Jiangyuan looked innocent: "The slave just told the truth." After a pause, he added, "Impulsive and immature, short-sighted, and only hot-blooded people, they often do things unexpectedly, and it is difficult to be guaranteed." For the sake of safety, from now on, the palace and the five princes' mansions are the same as in the past, and they must be more humble to the prince, and they must stay away from the martial arts and ...... Shangguan Wan'er. If something happens, don't get caught up in the pond. ”

"You keep us away from the martial arts, I understand. Princess Anle is Wu Sansi's daughter-in-law, Wu Sansi is valued by the saint, and Princess Anle is already favored, she is very different from other princesses, the prince hates her, and even hates the Wu family, but I don't know what happened to Shangguan Wan'er? ”

"In the past year, I have read the edicts in the newspaper, most of them are written by her, but most of them are for admiring the martial family, and a little bit of belittling the Li family, plus Wu Sansi is through her to connect with the saint and queen, and the prince will naturally not let her go."

Nowadays, it is true that not all the edicts on the making of books were drafted by Shangguan Wan'er, Xiao Jiangyuan can actually tell which one was written by Shangguan Wan'er? Li Longji glanced at Xiao Jiangyuan thoughtfully, but didn't say anything, just bowed his head and agreed, so he called the servant to come in and carry Gong Hou out of the courtyard: "I'd better take this thing back, I feel sorry for you here." ”

The servant's name is Wang Maozhong, he has a shrewd face, a lively and clever temperament, and he has grown up with Li Longji since he was a child, so he is quite valued by Li Longji, and he takes him with him wherever he goes. Xiao Jiangyuan had seen him when he lived in Shangyang Palace first, but he only knew what his name was when he was in Qianling.

When Wang Maozhong saw Li Longji say this, he remembered the unbearable music, and he couldn't help but bow his head and smile, and said, "Since Ah Lang has brought back Konghou, can there be other things to make up?" ”

Li Longji seemed to be awakened: "At this moment, there is nothing else on his body, only a pair of eight-point calligraphy, it is better to leave this, Ah Yuan has nothing to do to practice calligraphy, and he can also pass the time." Li Longji was good at writing eight-point books, and when he saw that the rhythm was not good, and the calligraphy could be tried, he took the calligraphy from Wang Maozhong and handed it to Xiao Jiangyuan.

Xiao Jiangyuan said: "The king doesn't say it, I also practice every day, but I don't practice eight-point books." ”

"It turns out that Ah Yuan also likes to practice calligraphy," finally found the common preference of the two, Li Longji was overjoyed, "I don't know what kind of book Ah Yuan is practicing?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan sighed lightly and said, "Fei Baishu." ”

Li Longji's smile stiffened slightly-this flying white book is what his grandmother is good at, but he never likes it.

"It's okay to practice one more, thank you king." Xiao Jiangyuan was about to reach out and take the notebook as he spoke, but saw Li Longji suddenly withdraw his hand and handed the notebook back to Wang Maozhong. She looked up blankly, at this time the solar eclipse had passed, and the sky was bright again, and Li Longji could see the awkward look on his face very clearly, but she didn't know why.

She just wanted to ask, but saw Li Longji straighten out the robe on his body, and said seemingly lightly: "Okay, if there is something suitable for you in the future, I will send it again." I have something to do today, so I'll take my leave. ”

Xiao Jiangyuan had no choice but to say: "The slave and maid send the king." ”

Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan didn't stop him, he was about to send him away, Li Longji was even more angry in his heart, and without saying anything, he brushed his sleeves and left. His steps were extremely fast, Wang Maozhong also trotted along with surprise and snickering, Xiao Jiangyuan never trotted, no matter how fast or slow he walked, his back was straight and steady, and he was naturally far behind by Li Longji. When she arrived at the gate of the Chongsheng Palace, only the backs of Li Longji's master and servant and mount were left in the flying dust.

"Today's solar eclipse must be a good omen! It is confirmed that the prince will change the day and open up a new world for Datang! At the same time, in an ordinary courtyard in Chongde Fang in Chang'an City, dozens of brightly dressed teenagers were feasting and drinking together.

"I hope His Royal Highness will make a decision as soon as possible, if it is too late, when Princess Anle really becomes the crown princess, where will there be a way for the prince to live?"

"Even if there is no Princess Anle, and Empress Wei, the sage is not only the crown prince and a son at the moment, King Wen is even younger, and it is easier for Empress Wei to control, but I am afraid that she has already moved her mind to abolish the prince, and the position of the prince is already in jeopardy!"

"The two generals Li have now also joined the prince, and at that time, a team of men and horses will guard the gates of the Daming Palace and prevent people in the palace from entering and leaving, and the other team will follow the prince to kill the traitors, isn't it right?"

Seeing that everyone was persuading one after another, Li Chongjun's eyes were burning, and he only felt his blood boiling. Thinking of the insults and grievances he has suffered for more than a year, the impulse in his heart cannot be contained. Moreover, the plan for this coup d'Γ©tat was originally proposed by himself, but he was only worried in his heart, so he kept hesitating and could not be sure.

He didn't dare to kill the monarch and kill his father, no matter how hateful Empress Wei and Princess Anle were, it was also his mother and sister, and he blamed Wu Sansi for bewitching, and Shangguan Wan'er suppressed Li Yangwu. If Wu Sansi and Shangguan Wan'er died, Empress Wei and Princess Anle would lose their support, and no one would bewitch Aya to abolish the prince in the future. Now that he has courtiers to follow, and military horses to follow, he wants to come to Aya The original Shenlong coup is no different, and the battle must be won, what else does he have to hesitate about?

When the time comes, who will dare to underestimate him?

"Good! As you say! I, Li Chongjun, am here today to make a renew oath, if I can't eradicate the traitors, I will return to the Tang Dynasty and swear not to be a man! Thinking that this matter was very important, Li Chongjun said, "It's just that in advance, I want to explain it to you." We are not rebelling, so we only kill Wu Sansi's family and Shangguan Wan'er, if Princess Anle was in Wu Sansi's mansion at that time, it would not hurt to kill her together, but the Tang Emperor must not move. We are loyal and righteous people, and we are loyal and filial piety, as long as Wu Sansi and Shangguan Wan'er die, the saints will treat me differently than in the past. I am the prince, the future son of the Tang Dynasty, you are waiting for your life to follow me at this time, this heart and this righteousness will never dare to forget, the coming day will be the king of the world, will be the emperor and other officials into the marquis to worship the prime minister, a lifetime of glory, and share with me! ”

"The ministers are willing to follow the work of dogs and horses, follow the prince, and eradicate traitors!"

"Follow the Prince! Eradicate the traitors! ”

For a while, morale was high, everyone drank bitterly, and Li Chongjun seemed to see the dawn of victory.

In the blink of an eye, it was July, and at the beginning of the summer heat, the entire Qianling Tomb was trapped in a transparent steamer.

There were two people standing not far from Wu Cao's tombstone. The young man had a delicate face, wearing a hat on his head, wearing a plain round-necked robe, with a shallow smile on his face, while the woman wore a turquoise skirt, wrapped in a water-blue shawl as thin as a cicada's wings, and combed a simple single snail on her head, only a jade hairpin with flowers and birds entwined with branches. Step by step, they came here, the young man bowed, and the woman was blessed, and after bowing to the wordless stone tablet, they began to talk.

"It's been more than a year in the blink of an eye." Shangguan Wan'er sighed leisurely.

"For more than a year, there hasn't been a word written on this stele." Xiao Jiangyuan smiled faintly.

"The saint has been busy with everything in the past year, and there are always omissions, and the inscription of the Empress of Heaven, how can he ignore it and write it?"

"Was it too busy, or was it deliberately forgotten? Look at the emperor's stone stele, every word on it is meritorious, isn't it also the empress of heaven who is in charge of supervising it herself? Seeing that Shangguan Wan'er didn't answer, Xiao Jiangyuan sighed, "Well, her inscription is not something that anyone can write, even if it is you, it is difficult to write an article easily." ”

Shangguan Wan'er said: "This is true, who in this world can judge her merits and demerits?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan looked up: "So, that's fine." has made a lifetime of merits, let future generations comment, such a wordless monument is the most suitable for her. ”

Shangguan Wan'er also looked at the stele for a long time, then turned around and smiled gently: "Okay, goodbye, it's time to go." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan followed to Shangguan Wan'er's side: "I don't know what method Jieyu used to make the slave and maid return to Chang'an." ”

Shangguan Wan'er's eyes were slightly rippling, but her face did not change, and she said casually: "It's useless, Princess Anle won't even hear your name." I see that the period of the year has arrived, and it is not good to break my promise in front of the juniors, so I came here and took you back. ”

Xiao Jiangyuan thought that Shangguan Wan'er was confident, but he didn't want to be like this, and his steps were a little hesitant: "The eunuch guarding the tomb suddenly disappeared and returned to the capital without permission, such a crime can be big or small, Jieyu doesn't even have to learn from the Empress of Heaven and let the slave and maid be frightened again?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but laugh for a while: "Could it be that you asked yourself to guard the mausoleum, not for the sake of bystanders, waiting for an opportunity?" But after all, Qianling is some distance from Chang'an, if you find that the time will pass, I am afraid that it will be too late, I will help you once. Don't worry, I've already taken care of Qianling, if anyone asks, they will say that you are suddenly sick and dead, and you have already been buried elsewhere, who can really track you down? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan was about to nod, but the next moment he remembered Li Longji. Even if others won't track him down, he will...... Although before, he had an inexplicable quarrel with himself. If he suddenly learned that he was dead, he didn't know what his expression would be.

"What are you thinking?" Shangguan Wan'er asked.

Xiao Jiangyuan came back to his senses: "The slave is just thinking, after returning to Chang'an, she has no relatives and no money, so where do you want to live." ”

Shangguan Wan'er said lightly: "I have a mansion in Qunxian Fang, and the sage is kind and allows me to leave the palace at any time and live outside the palace." ”

The concubines of the Son of Heaven can enter and leave the palace at will, and even live outside the palace while the Son of Heaven is still there? This is the first time in the past, should it be said that Shangguan Wan'er is honored and grand, or should it be said that for Li Xian, she is still not a warm and soft-spoken concubine, but just a businesslike courtier?

Before the drums beat at dusk, they returned to Chang'an. Shangguan Wan'er sent Xiao Jiangyuan to Qunxianfang, and remembered that she was going to sleep tonight, so she told a few words and rode towards Daming Palace. The sky is getting dark, the twilight drums are gradually subduing, the door is slowly closed and locked, and the whole Chang'an is plunged into a strange tranquility.
