[Chapter 38: How Can Who Be the Son of Heaven] (1)

Xiao Jiangyuan quietly took out the lotus silver hairpin hidden in his sleeve pocket, and under the cover of the gauze curtain, he poked his head out slightly. The lotus silver hairpin is long and sharp, the silver light is white like snow, and Xiao Jiangyuan's hands are also like snow, only on the back of the hand holding the silver hairpin, there are stripes of blue-green flashing.

Of course, Xiao Jiangyuan knew that this was the next policy, but if Princess Taiping didn't deliberately startle the snake, but really had this intention, she wouldn't care so much.

There was a little silence in the hall. Li Longji and Princess Taiping were only separated by a long case and sat facing each other. It had been a long time since he had looked closely at the only aunt. In his childhood, his relatives withered, his uncle's family was relegated, his parents and brothers were placed under house arrest with him, and his maternal line was wiped out by his grandmother, leaving only his aunt, who was married to a wife, and everyone was cautious in his eyes, the color of the gray sky.

There was only a touch of purple and red, and on the day he lost his mother, with the snow-white, delicate and warm palm, it covered his eyes. The color was hot and intense, strong and powerful, and it stung his eyes. After that, he realized that all the colors in the world were not as pleasing to the eye as ochre and vermilion.

The world only knows that the repression of the past made him grow up and precocious, but he didn't know that what really gave him enlightenment was his aunt's publicity.

Therefore, Princess Taiping is actually a very special existence for Li Longji. Unlike his aunt's motherly gentleness, she was more like a strict teacher, she never taught him anything, but she could let him learn a lot. She has given him affection, but she can also be extremely ruthless to him.

Li Longji is not a cold-blooded person, on the contrary, he is very affectionate and affectionate, and he is even softer towards women, which is one of the reasons why he has always disagreed with Xiao Jiangyuan's desire to get rid of Princess Taiping.

Today's aunt Mingyan is the same as before, only the little silver thread between her temples exposes her youth, which also makes Li Longji sober up in time:

"Of course San Lang is afraid, but San Lang also knows that his aunt is not such a rash person."

This "rash" pun, Princess Taiping lowered her eyes and smiled: "I am not rash, so I will not turn around and tell the informant, nor will I casually startle the snake and give you a chance to kill your mouth, then in the same way, I will not easily agree to your ...... Unbelievable request. ”

Li Longji was surprised: "Aunt would think it's incredible, but it should have been like this a long time ago? ”

Although Li Longji took the lead in exposing himself to show his sincerity, Princess Taiping still didn't hear it: "Since the Emperor Taishang has been on the throne, he really shouldn't continue to control the power of the court, but this ...... It's not something that a princess can manage. ”

"My aunt is the princess of Zhenguo, she was once the only princess in the Tang Dynasty for 20 years, and the only daughter of the emperor and queen, with a noble and noble status, and she has the merit of being a dragon, is it not comparable to an ordinary princess? What's more, my aunt Corporal Lixian, there are not a few people who accept grace in the court, and even five of the seven prime ministers in the political hall often go in and out of my aunt's princess's mansion. Li Longji sighed helplessly, "Even the king of Zhongshu once said that the people only know their aunt, but they don't know that there is a prince like me." ”

Princess Taiping bowed: "San Lang is serious, now that you are the son of the Tang Dynasty, no one will know about it anymore." ”

Li Longji shook his head: "Then how can it be more popular than my aunt?" As a princess of the Tang Dynasty, my aunt has done a lot of good things for the Tang Dynasty, not only the people remember, but San Lang also remembers, so San Lang only found his aunt today to help one or two. ”

Seeing that Li Longji looked serious, although his words were flattering, he was sincere and reasonable, Princess Taiping took away a little light picking, and said: "I think it's unbelievable, how dare San Lang look for me." ”

Li Longji smiled: "Why don't San Lang dare? ”

Princess Taiping said: "Since the emperor ascended the throne, San Lang and his aunt have lost the harmony and tacit understanding they had when they cooperated before, and it is a real 'life' friendship." ”

Li Longji nodded: "Exactly." But how could San Lang take the initiative to hurt his aunt? San Lang wanted to be the prince, so he crossed the eldest brother and cooperated with his aunt, San Lang thought that with the mutual support of that time, even if his aunt did not help San Lang in the matter of establishing the prince, at least she would not object, but the result was ...... Don't mention it. ”

Princess Taiping raised her eyebrows slightly: "Let's count you wronged in this matter, but later, Yao Yuanchong and Song Guangping expelled me from Chang'an, but they helped you fight a beautiful victory." ”

"Then San Lang asked Aya to kill them, who let them separate you and my aunt and nephew, did this aunt forget?" Li Longji couldn't cry or laugh, "San Lang was just getting involved in politics at that time, where did he get the ability to compete with his aunt, Yao Thorn History, then Song Thorn History was also a prince at that time, I could control it?" ”

Princess Taiping snorted coldly: "It's not that I went to the East Palace to scold you and buckle a big hat for you, otherwise how would you be willing?" ”

“…… If my aunt has to say this, this matter is not Saburo's, and Saburo is apologizing. Li Longji immediately arched his hand and said aggrievedly, "My aunt is frank, and I asked my aunt to think about it carefully, in the past few years, which 'life' friendship was not made by my aunt first, and San Lang fought back in order to protect herself?" Even if he fought back, he only hurt his aunt a little bit of fur, which was like his aunt, and he hit San Lang's flesh and blood again and again. San Lang has always treated his aunt with respect, so naturally he has no weakness, what about asking his aunt for help, is it that his nephew is in trouble, and his aunt shouldn't help him? ”

Princess Taiping chuckled: "...... San Lang seems to have forgotten Xu Guogong and General Zhang, who were exiled not long ago? ”

Liu Youqiu's previous title was Duke Xu Guo, and General Zhang was naturally Zhang Wei, who leaked secrets directly at Princess Taiping after drinking. Princess Taiping thought that after mentioning the two of them, Li Longji's face would definitely change, and he would not refute it wordlessly, but she didn't want him to shake her head and smile first, and then her expression became serious: "I don't know if my aunt believes it, San Lang's previous plan with him and the two of them was not aimed at my aunt." ”

"Oh?"

"The two of them only know one thing, but they don't know the other. Not to mention the two of them, even the people closest to me ......" Thinking of that stubborn figure, Li Longji sighed in his heart, "Don't you think that the person I want to deal with is just my aunt, not anything else?" ”

Princess Taiping thought of Li Longji's invitation today, and her eyes were clear: "Who did you want to deal with at that time...... Is he already the emperor? He's already helping you, and if you wait, he'll give you the power completely......"

"Does my aunt dare to believe this? Wait a little longer......" Li Longji's voice sank, "How long will we have to wait?" ”

Seeing that Princess Taiping's eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was recognizing herself, Li Longji breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Since becoming the emperor, San Lang's enemy is no longer my aunt, and my aunt's enemy should never be San Lang. San Lang didn't want to fall into the name of unfilial piety, he was still thinking about how not to move his troops, everything was only planning, how could he dare to let Liu Zhang and the others know? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan, who had been hiding, had already put away the lotus silver hairpin. Hearing Li Longji say that since he became the emperor, the person he wanted to deal with had changed from Princess Taiping to Emperor Taishang, she was stunned. This is indeed a point that she never thought of, she instantly understood her family's Ah Lang's anger at her, but she still felt that Ah Lang's actions today had little chance of winning, and the disadvantages outweighed the advantages. As Princess Taiping said: "But why does San Lang think that if you come to me today, I will definitely agree?" ”

"If my aunt is willing to help San Lang, she will be the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty in the future, and the title of the princess of Zhenguo will never be abolished, and the honorific title will be accumulated, and the five thousand households will never be reduced, and if the national strength is prosperous, it will increase, and the children can be hereditary, and the generations will be prosperous and rich."

"Can you tolerate me?"

"Aunt is ridiculous. At present, a princess like my aunt is intolerable to any emperor, even if I am not the emperor and I have changed my eldest brother, it is still the same. ”

"You're really." Princess Taiping nodded, "In this case, at least Brother will never hurt my princess's dignity and life, how can you guarantee that after gaining power, you will not attack me?" ”

Li Longji said calmly: "A powerful but powerless, virtuous and respected princess, why should I start?" ”

Princess Taiping couldn't believe it: "You want me to help you, but the benefits haven't been given yet, so you want me to give up your power first?" ”

"In fact, my aunt does not have the right to participate in political affairs, so how can she delegate power? Even if there is, if the eldest brother is really replaced as the emperor, does my aunt think that Aya and the eldest brother will not do this? Aya treats the eldest brother and treats me completely differently, in order to disgrace my descendants, Aya can still send his aunt out of Chang'an, in order to let the eldest brother sit on the throne, my aunt may only have one life left in the end. As for the eldest brother, he just doesn't seek politics when he is not in his position, and if he really becomes an emperor, he will not be more gentle than my aunt. ”

"Why...... The Son of Heaven only has two choices: you and King Song? ”

This question surprised Li Longji. Seeing that Princess Taiping's eyes were deep, obviously meaning something, he couldn't help asking, "Auntie, ...... this?"

Before the word "what does it mean" could be asked, she saw Princess Taiping sit up straight, raised her head and said, "Can't I be the emperor myself?" ”
