"Lee's call is the wrong person."

Li Fuguo smiled: "It seems that the master has seen Lu Quan, is he okay now?" In that kind of place, as long as you are obedient, at least you will have to worry about food and clothing......"

"Li Nei has been trapped in the East Palace for a long time, and even the news has been blocked—as early as five years ago, I took him out."

Li Fuguo was a little surprised: "Master...... Would you go to a place like Qing/Lou? I thought it was ......"

He originally informed Qing/Lou that he wanted to make Lu Quan the top brand, and then borrow the hands of other dignitaries and nobles to let Xiao Jiangyuan see Lu Quan. At that time, in the face of Lu Quan like that, presumably Xiao Jiangyuan would hate him, and even hate him, instead of being so desperate as if he never knew him when he abandoned him at the beginning.

But for some reason, not only did he not want to keep an eye on the situation on Lu Quan's side from time to time, but he also didn't want to hear the relevant rumors and results, so he finally let go of his hand and let it develop.

If Xiao Jiangyuan saw Lu Quan five years ago, it can only mean that she went to Qing/Lou in person and ordered Xiao Qi to accompany her, but somehow, she ordered Lu Quan, who was inexperienced.

She abandoned Li Longji and went to Qing/Lou to find Xiaoqi, which certainly made him feel unprecedented happiness, but also made him even more depressed.

He had been so close to her that she would rather choose those filthy strangers than look at him a few more times when she retreated.

Did she know that he asked Lu Quan to remember his new name, just so that one day when Lu Quan met her, he would tell her.

I saw that Xiao Jiangyuan clearly looked clear, but he was not touched in the slightest: "In any case, Li Neishou did not let Ah Quan become a eunuch, and I thank you for Yun Niang under Jiuquan." Leave. ”

After learning the prince's reaction from Xiao Jiangyuan's mouth, Li Longji was silent for a long time before he said, "He should be like this." ”

At this time, the ministers had all retreated, and seeing that Li Longji was not relieved because he had received a satisfactory answer, but was even more unhappy, Xiao Jiangyuan asked: "The prince is sensible and decent, don't you feel relieved?" ”

"It's just sensible and decent, and it's not easy to even be right." Li Longji snorted coldly, "He's smarter than I thought...... This prince, did I choose the wrong one again? ”

"After all, the prince is the foundation of the country, and he can't be too stupid." What Xiao Jiangyuan didn't say was that the prince's intelligence was not born, but was actually honed over many years. After entering the East Palace, if he wanted to survive safely in the attack of Li Longji and Li Linfu, there was no other way than to rely on himself.

"That's ......," Li Longji shook his head with a wry smile, "It's just that if he's too smart, even if he conforms to my heart, I won't be happy—isn't it a contradiction?" If the prince wants to govern the Tang Dynasty in the future, he must not be stupid, and it is best to be mediocre. If he is smart and outstanding, it is a blessing for the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the most comforting thing for me, but I can't do it...... Even after so many years, even if I know that I have accumulated power for a long time and the Quartet does not dare to act rashly, I still can't do it.

"The bloody wind of the year has always been engraved in my mind, and the figures of those opponents often fall into dreams and linger, how can I settle down and forget them completely? I will never forget that my life and this throne were not easy to come by. ”

"I understand." How could Xiao Jiangyuan not understand? It was she who accompanied her step by step on that difficult road, "Everyone cherishes this throne more than everything, including their own lives." ”

And, of course, her life.

He is entangled, he is contradictory, but he understands the reason. He knew it was wrong for him to do this, but he still couldn't control it. That kind of uneasiness and fear, although it has been hidden deeper and deeper with the prosperity of the world, has never been eliminated, and it only takes a primer to re-ignite into a fire.

But he is already a full-fledged monarch, and he will no longer be abolished just because of this.

And there is another reason that Xiao Jiangyuan does not know and never realizes - compared with the country/country, the will and gains and losses of individuals are sometimes not important.

He actually knew very well in his heart that he had chosen the right prince.

No matter how smart the prince is, isn't he obedient and sensible, respectful and cowardly now? If he can continue to do this, Li Longji will not bother to bother with the heart of the country again.

Seeing Xiao Jiangyuan's pious eyes, Li Longji was unconscious in a trance, as if he had returned to the eventful years of the past: "Now...... Only you can understand......"

After all, most of the people who worked together back then are dead.

"Chen Xuanli, the general of the Longwu Army, is still here, if everyone is grateful for the past, why don't you summon him into the palace and drink and talk?"

"For so many years, he has been leading the troops in peace and security, staying by my side, Ge Fushun and Wang Maozhong did not mix when they got married, and he was a down-to-earth person. If there is anyone in the entire court besides you, who can I trust with all my heart, it is only him. Li Longji didn't want to ask him for a drink, "It's just that he has always been dull and silent, and it's the same when he drinks, just go back to Nanxun Palace." ”

Since Yang Yuhuan became a concubine, Li Longji moved back to Nanxun Hall with her.

On this day, the three ladies of Han, Yu, and Qin all entered the palace, and the Nanxun Hall was very lively.

In comparison, the East Palace is much more deserted.

At this time, the prince has faded away from the cowardice and panic not long ago, his expression is calm, and he also has a bit of the prince's majesty. He left Li Fuguo alone: "What do you think?" ”

"The slave thinks that no matter whether it is a saint or General Xiao, they are all on the side of the prince." Li Fuguo bowed his head respectfully, and his tone was flat.

"Oh?" The prince was amused.

"As early as the eighth year of Kaiyuan, such a thing happened. At that time, Prince Huiwen was still alive, and when his friend Pei Xuji entered the palace of King Qi, he had carried a book of prophecy, and the sage's disposition was to exile him, and let Princess Huo Guo reconcile with him, but Prince Huiwen was never held accountable. The same is true of the later Prince Huixuan, when the saint was sick, the brother of the princess Huixuan, that is, Wei Bin, the brother of the current crown princess and Wei Shangshu in prison, once inquired about the saint's illness and discussed the good fortune and evil, and the saint just killed Wei Bin with a rod, as always to Prince Huixuan and his wife. As General Xiao said, His Royal Highness is the son of a saint who has high hopes, and a saint can still treat his brother like this, and he should treat His Highness ...... too."

"What your master said, you still agree with it very much."

Li Fuguo hurriedly knelt down: "Since the slave maid has entered the East Palace, she is a person of His Royal Highness, everything she thinks and says is for His Highness, and she doesn't dare to have any selfish intentions!" ”

The prince only smiled: "If it is someone else, it may be like this, if it is a father...... If a son is different from a son, how can a son be the same as a sibling? The right phase has always been a good means, and my uncle and friends are afraid that they will be ruined here. ”

"What does Your Highness mean that Yang Shenjin is the right minister in the imperial history?"

"Is it just him? I heard that there is a newcomer in Yushitai recently, when he was the county lieutenant of Wannian before, he assisted Jing Zhaoyin in interrogating more than 60 military officials, what is it called? ”

“…… Gwen. ”

The prince nodded: "Plus the nephew of the right prime minister's son-in-law, the one surnamed Luo, I'm afraid that in the future, the prison will also be the right minister's world." The right minister knows how to use the law the most, so he has always obeyed the law and is invincible. Whether it is in public interest or self-interest, he always enforces the law strictly, which is also the place where he is most popular with the people, although it is ridiculous, but I have to admit that I am far worse than him after all. ”

The prince's eyes were as calm as well water, and his tone was very soft, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, but Li Fuguo felt a bit of hatred through his bones.

This hatred doesn't seem to be aimed at Li Linfu.

Li Fuguo was not shocked or afraid, but felt that it was just what he wanted, so he heard the prince ask:

"Do you know why I like you?" Without waiting for Li Fuguo to answer, the prince smiled, "Because you are ugly in appearance and hidden deep in your despicability?" No, because my father doesn't like you, and even hates you, that's why I like you. ”

“…… Slave and maid thank His Royal Highness for his love. ”

"Thank me? You don't blame me for treating you like this today? ”

"I can go to the soup for His Royal Highness, and the slave is willing."

Li Fuguo really doesn't blame the prince, because he has long known the prince's attitude towards him, and he also knows his own value at the moment. He is just a powerless eunuch who looks up to others, like an ant, how can he be more expensive than the crown prince?

Master is a master after all, and with a few words and an understatement, the seemingly intimate and weak relationship between him and the crown prince can be separated, so that they can clearly understand that the other party means nothing more than that. But it didn't matter, he never intended to have any real feelings with his lord, it was just a stepping stone for him to climb up.

The crown prince bowed his head and said meaningfully: "If you can really treat me like this, I will not fail you." What about Awen? You can go farther and stand taller than her in the future. ”

Just when Li Linfu was about to lead Yang Shenjin, Ji Wen and Luo Xizao to interrogate Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming ruthlessly, Li Longji suddenly changed his mind. He directly ordered that Wei Jian be demoted to Kuocang Taishou, and Huangfu Weiming to Banchuan Taishou. When Huangfu Weiming arrived in Qianzhong, Li Longji added another book to give death.

As for the crown prince, Li Longji didn't mention it.

Although Li Linfu did not achieve all the goals, he had an unexpected surprise - Li Shizhi saw that the prince was powerless to resist, and knew that he could not fight Li Linfu, so he took the initiative to resign from the position of left minister and withdrew from the whirlpool of power.

Of course, Li Linfu would not be satisfied with this, so he sent people to secretly encourage Wei Jian's two younger brothers to play and shout grievances, and told them: Even if there is a crown princess, won't the prince always stay out of the matter? This shows that unless they climb the crown prince and make the prince feel pain, the prince will save their brother at the same time in order to save himself.

The Wei brothers felt very reasonable, so they really did it, which really made Li Longji angry.

Li Longji first demoted Wei Jian to Jiangxia, and the Wei brothers were exiled to Lingnan, which was not enough, and soon exiled Wei Jian to Linfeng, and then died.

Li Linfu put forward in a timely manner: "The Wei brothers dare to play a grievance because they have a lot of power in the DPRK, and there are many friends like Li Shizhi, and they also hope that the saint will eliminate the evil." ”

As for where their power comes from? Naturally, it is the East Palace.

Li Longji was so angry with the Wei brothers that he had more than enough success and more than enough to lose, so he simply went out of his way and belittled Li Shizhi and those courtiers who were good friends with Wei Jian, Li Shizhi and Huangfu Weiming, and exiled them.

In the face of such a big movement, the prince, whose wings had lost most of his wings, did not dare to shrink back in the East Palace, and immediately played Li Longji, claiming that he did not dare to abolish the law in person, and had reconciled with the crown princess Wei.

The swan song of the Tang Dynasty
