【Chapter 59: Liyuan Disciple Bai Fa Xin】(2)
Xiao Jiangyuan woke up as early as when Li Longji inexplicably put her down, and before she could hear Li Longji's words clearly, he was picked up again. She couldn't sleep now, and she thought about what Li Longji said along the way, but she didn't come up with a reason, and just wanted to ask him, she was interrupted by Wang Chengen.
This was indeed exciting news, but Xiao Jiangyuan and Li Longji couldn't laugh when they heard the last sentence.
Li Longji immediately reached out and took the paperwork, sat next to Xiao Jiangyuan, and watched it with her.
As early as a few months ago, Li Longji learned of An Lushan's death through the war report
On the fifth day of the first month of the second year of Zhide, An Qingxu, the second son of An Lushan, joined forces with the conspirator Yan Zhuang and the eunuch Li Zhu'er to murder An Lushan. After that, An Qingxu inherited the throne of the rebels, but Yan Zhuang put An Qingxu under house arrest and monopolized the military and political power.
"An Lushan died like this? The names of his sons are still those I caught, Qingxu, what a good name. You and I have seen this child, he has a cowardly personality, and he speaks upside down, he doesn't like An Lushan very much, and it's not bad to ride a horse and shoot arrows. I think it was because he found out that An Lushan didn't want to make him the prince, so he simply did it, he still has the scheming and guts? ”
Seeing that Li Longji was not sad or happy, Xiao Jiangyuan was a little surprised. As soon as An Lushan died, even if Li Longji did not raise his eyebrows, at least he should be relieved, and after thinking about it for a while, she understood the reason why An Lushan was murdered to death by his own son after becoming the emperor.
She originally thought that Li Longji had done the new emperor a great favor after all, although their father and son had always been indifferent, but whether it was public or private, they would never be incompatible with life and death, but it seemed that it was not necessarily at the moment.
There are only two elements on the paperwork. First, in September of the second year of Zhide, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, King Li and Guo Ziyi of Guangping, united with 3,000 cavalry to recover the two capitals, and the rebels were defeated and fled, and the defeat was decided; Second, ask Li Longji to prepare to leave, the new emperor has sent someone to greet him, only to wait for Li Longji to return to Chang'an to re-ascend the throne, and the new emperor will retreat to the East Palace.
"That's really how it was written...... Da Lang is good, but why didn't you see the news of Xiao Saburo? He is more capable of fighting than Da Lang, but the war reports of the past few months have not mentioned anything about him, strange ......" Li Longji frowned slightly, "The emperor first ascended to the great treasure, in order to quickly recover the two capitals, to stabilize the situation and the throne, and at the same time improve his prestige, even the cavalry of Hui Hui was invited, and Xiao Saburo should not be abandoned." ”
The "big lang" in Li Longji's mouth is naturally the new emperor's eldest son, Guangping Wang Li, and the "little third lang" is the new emperor's third son, Jianning Wang Li.
Xiao Jiangyuan thought of another thing: "In order to invite soldiers back and forth, the saint is afraid that he agreed to some conditions. ”
As for the so-called return to Chang'an to regain the throne, Xiao Jiangyuan and Li Longjiti did not mention it.
When Wang Chengen was Li Fuguo's apprentice in the past, he was never taught anything about court and politics, and when he became Xiao Jiangyuan's apprentice, he had no chance to learn, so he was very puzzled by Xiao Jiangyuan's and Li Longji's reaction: "The emperor and the master ...... Why don't you seem to be happy at all? ”
"Chang'an and Dongdu are finally Datang again, why are you unhappy? As for Huifu, the emperor will deal with it himself, but ......" Li Longji stopped talking, shook his head and sighed.
"What is the Emperor going to do?" Xiao Jiangyuan asked.
"What else can I do?" Li Longji rolled up the paperwork and handed it to Wang Chengen, "Send this horse back as it is, remember, not to the emperor, but to Li Yu's hands." ”
"Li Changyuan is a saint, will he speak for the emperor?"
"At least it will clear the emperor's mind."
Seeing that Wang Chengen still had a questioning face, Xiao Jiangyuan chuckled and said, "Where would the sage really want the emperor to go back to be the emperor?" It's just that he is not sure of the emperor's intentions, and he is uneasy about his unauthorized accession to the throne, and wants to test the emperor and play chess later. If the emperor doesn't react and goes back like this, he will comply with the sage's superficial request, and will the saint be given the throne or not? How can he be willing to give, but the words have already been spoken, and the Son of Heaven should be even more promising, what is the best way at that time? The emperor is old, and there are people who die of illness with great joy and sorrow, and there are many similar causes of death in the royal family throughout the ages. In this way, won't the saint keep this throne? ”
"What are you talking to your little apprentice about? It's good to be stupid like him, a little clever, enough to live. Although Li Longji said this, he still connived at Xiao Jiangyuan to finish speaking.
Wang Chengen's face turned white with fright: "Holy ...... Saints don't do that, do they? ”
"Of course not." Xiao Jiangyuan smiled comfortingly.
As soon as Wang Chengen breathed a sigh of relief, he listened to Xiao Jiangyuan continue:
"The Emperor will not give him a chance to do this."
Wang Chengen: "......"
Li Longji lifted his forehead and laughed: "You love your little apprentice, he is probably your closed disciple." ”
Wang Chengen said worriedly: "That...... Just send this back, is that enough? ”
Li Longji was just about to speak, but was stopped by Xiao Jiangyuan shaking his head:
"Then you say, the emperor should do something more?"
Wang Chengen thought for a while and said: "At least, the emperor wants to make a statement to the sage, so he said that the mountains and rivers in Jiannan Road are good, and it is suitable for recuperation, and it is okay not to return to Chang'an in the future, how about it?" ”
"What if the sage thinks because of this that the emperor intends to divide the land of Shu and set up his own court?"
"This ......"
"Alright. Do as you say, and go. After Wang Chengen stepped back, Li Longji looked at Xiao Jiangyuan, "Why do you force him like this?" ”
Xiao Jiangyuan sighed lightly: "This kid is bound to be dragged down by me, but it shouldn't be too long." Unlike me, he is a real eunuch, and he is still young, and sooner or later he will return to the palace. I don't expect him to replace Li Fuguo, but he can't just live, he has to live well. ”
After another period of time, a congratulatory note came from Chang'an, not mentioning Li Longji's return to the throne, only saying that his son missed his father and hoped to take Li Longji back to Chang'an as soon as possible to be filial piety.
After all, the Emperor and the new emperor are biological father and son, and the new emperor's support of the Emperor Taishang is a human and filial piety, which makes Li Longji unable to refuse.
He didn't want to say no.
When tidying up, everyone in the two palaces was happy, but Xiao Jiangyuan smiled lightly: "Actually...... Since he is determined to be the emperor, it is better to stay here and not go back. ”
"Are you worried that the emperor won't let me go?" Li Longji walked up to Xiao Jiangyuan and smiled gently, "I am now the emperor who doesn't ask about political affairs, and there is no longer any threat to him, so there is no need for him to leave an unfilial message to the mouth of Youyou." And...... That's Chang'an. ”
"What about Chang'an? The emperor was born and grew up in the Eastern Capital, and Chang'an was only the national capital for the emperor, not even his hometown. ”
"She is only the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and she is already better than everything. In my life in the past few decades, it can be said that I started there, killing Wei Shuren, entering the East Palace, becoming the emperor, and creating a prosperous world...... Falling from a high place to the dust, if I can, I hope that my life can end there. Without waiting for Xiao Jiangyuan to speak, Li Longji insisted, "I must go back." ”
Li Longji couldn't refuse the emperor, and Xiao Jiangyuan couldn't refuse Li Longji: "In this case, where the emperor is, I will be there." ”
Before returning to Chang'an, Li Longji arrived at Ma Weiyi first.
That turmoil was like a world away, and now there is no trace of it inside and outside the post house.
Because of Yang Guozhong, although Yang Yuhuan was still a concubine when he died, he could not be buried with the emperor's mausoleum, so Li Longji had to find a place with the best feng shui near Ma Weiyi and reburied her and Ah Shuang. This was the last bit of heart he, an incompetent man, could do for her.
After the grave was opened, I saw that the body of the former beauty had been destroyed, but the sachet was still there.
Li Longji cut off a strand of his hair, and together with the sachet, placed it next to Yang Yuhuan.
When he arrived at Xianyang Wangxian Palace, Li Longji raised his eyes and saw the flags fluttering, the carriages and horses were haohao, and the new emperor Li Heng led the princes and high-ranking officials to greet them respectfully, as if he had been looking forward to it for a long time.
Thinking of the three thousand elite soldiers sent by the new emperor to replace the Inner Flying Dragon Soldiers and Long Wuwei when she first arrived in Fufeng a few days ago, Xiao Jiangyuan only felt a little ironic, especially when she saw that the new emperor was not wearing an ochre yellow robe, but a purple suit.
The new emperor first invited Li Longji to go up to the south tower of Wangxian Palace, and he led his ministers to dance and worship Li Longji, and when Li Longji hurriedly went downstairs to help him, he still refused to get up, and still held Li Longji's boots, as if he had mixed feelings and whimpered.
Seeing this, the ministers thought of this war, and they all wiped their tears.
Li Longji couldn't help but feel a little sad, and asked for an ochre yellow robe from the left and right, and draped it on the new emperor's body: "You can ascend the throne, this is the number of days." If all the hearts of the subjects are attached to you today, even now, it is also a blessing for you that I can return to Chang'an so early to live in peace. You can't shirk anymore, this is the filial piety of the Son of Heaven. ”
Listening to Li Longji's words, the new emperor finally put on the yellow robe, and immediately shouted long live left and right.
At this point, Li Longji's status as the emperor and the new emperor's identity as emperor have been finalized and have not changed.
"Why didn't Saburo come with you?" After the surroundings quieted down, Li Longji looked around.
The new emperor's indifferent smile couldn't help but stiffen.
Li Long was basically concerned, and asked casually, and when he saw his son's reaction, he immediately realized that something was wrong: "He...... Killed in battle? ”
Seeing that King Guangping's eyes were red unbearably and his head was lowered, Li Longji was just about to be convinced of his conjecture, so he listened to Li Fuguo's words:
"King Jianning has the intention of seizing the heir and wants to murder the king of Guangping, but the evidence is conclusive, and he was given death by the saint."
Li Longji only frowned, and nodded as if nothing had happened: "The storage position should be based on the longevity and then the virtuous, at the moment, for the stability of the Tang Dynasty, it should not be used to make military achievements chaotic, the emperor is so sober, and if he does not abolish the law with personal feelings, I will not have anything to worry about." Speaking of which, you are all emperors, why are your sons still just county kings? The prince should be the prince, they should all be promoted, and the country should be established. With the master of the East Palace, you can be a good emperor with peace of mind, don't be like me. ”
The new emperor glanced at Li Longji fixedly, and finally responded with a forked hand.
It's not that he can't feel Li Longji's seriousness. For him, his son lived in the East Palace, and he was a veritable and unshakable emperor, but since he ascended the throne, he has been worried and feared for no reason. Except for Zhang, who had already been canonized as empress by Liangdi, his eldest sons King Guangping and Li Fuguo, he couldn't trust anyone else. He once thought that as long as he became the emperor, he would no longer have the anxiety and panic when he was the crown prince, as long as he recaptured the two capitals, he would sit firmly on the throne from then on, but he was never convinced, and he was afraid that all this was just what he thought.
He finally understood a little bit why Li Longji had pressed him like that in the past.
At dinner that night, the new emperor specially tried dishes for Li Longji, and when he set off to return to Chang'an early the next morning, he had to personally lead the horse for Li Longji, but Li Longji insisted on refusing.
finally returned to Chang'an, Li Longji was full of emotion. Under the devastation, the people surged on both sides of Suzaku Street like a surging river, cheering for Li Longji's return.
Li Longji didn't expect that the people of Chang'an would welcome him, and he couldn't help but wet his eyes.
Xiao Jiangyuan followed behind Li Longji, looking left and right, but he never saw the person who was determined to stay in Chang'an.
