[Chapter 5: Entering the East Palace and Inheriting the Mandate of Heaven] (1)

Li Dan nodded heavily when he heard this. Yes, now that he is the emperor, the good wife and concubine finally don't have to see the light of day, although they can't find the bones, they can also summon the soul to be buried with their clothes, and they can be regarded as resting.

"In this way, the past is really all gone. Aya can no longer dwell on the past, he has to look forward. After a pause, Li Chengqi said solemnly, "Please also ask Aya to get to know San Lang again when he arrives." In fact...... San Lang's pure filial piety and reverence for Aya are no less than those of his children, and Aya has also seen it at a glance over the years, and he has never forgotten it. ”

Thinking back on the past few years, the last bit of entanglement in Li Dan's heart was finally gently resolved by Li Chengqi, but he still had worries and unwillingness in his heart: "You can be clear, it's not that you don't want to be the emperor, as long as you are given this opportunity and let you sit on the throne, the ministers will know that you are also the most suitable." The Tang Dynasty will prosper in your hands, and your merits can even surpass Emperor Gaozong, and surpass Emperor Taizong, you ...... Alas! ”

"Saburo's talent is never inferior to that of a child, but Aya has never paid attention to it. The future of Datang is handed over to San Lang, and there will definitely be a new scene. San Lang is so versatile, tolerant of all rivers and rivers without being rigid, and may be able to give Datang a prosperous demeanor on the basis of the people living and working in peace and contentment. ”

"But...... Only if you become an emperor in the future, your brothers, even San Lang, can live their lives in peace. If it's Saburo...... Gorou and they are gone, you ...... What will happen? It's the most ruthless emperor's family, besides, ......" Li Dan hesitated, but still said a little weakly, "Sometimes, when I look at San Lang, it's like seeing A-Niang." ”

Li Chengji finally understood why Aya was so stubborn until now. This is what he is most worried about and can't trust Saburo in his heart, and it is also the most far-reaching thing that he can plan for himself as a father. While admiring, Li Chengqi held Aya's hand and said seriously: "Aya, don't worry, San Lang won't." ”

Li Dan retracted his hand, and found that he couldn't pull it out at all, so he turned his head to face elsewhere and said lightly: "...... I don't believe it. ”

"That's why I hope Aya gets to know Saburo again."

Li Longji is really tired.

Since the day of the coup d'Γ©tat, his spirit has been in an extremely tense state, and finally the coup is over, and everything at the end has come out in detail, Li Dan does not help him, Li Chengqi and others are inconvenient to help him, which makes him very busy without much experience, and he almost didn't close his eyes for a few days.

Finally survived until Li Dan ascended the throne, Li Longji could finally unload all the burdens and have a good rest, it can be seen that there is obviously a gap between the brothers, and he can't sleep at night.

On this day, he really couldn't bear it. I wanted to take advantage of the quiet years to change the score and be together with my brothers again, just like in the past, but he just moved a few strokes before he fell asleep in a daze.

He slept very deeply, did not have a dream, felt nothing, as if he were dead. When he opened his eyes again, the sunlight in the temple from the window had changed direction. He didn't notice the passage of time, and when he opened his eyes, he felt a pair of very familiar hands appear vaguely in front of him. The hands were holding the thin quilt on his body, and shallow tucked in front of his neck. He was stunned, frowning and blinking vigorously before finally seeing clearly.

He immediately raised his head, and when he saw that it was really him, he couldn't help muttering in surprise: "Aya......" Before the words fell, he had already reacted, got up and swayed, and his movements were upright and regular.

Li Dan already knew what to do was the most correct, and after listening to Li Chengqi's persuasion, although he was still a little helpless, he had no choice but to adapt to the situation and believe in his eldest son. It's just that he still can't let go of Li Longji, since Da Lang said that, he is very curious, what does San Lang look like, is it that what Da Lang sees is completely different from what he sees, and he still needs to re-acquaint himself?

Thinking like this, he had lunch with Li Chengqi, and said that he wanted to come to the Qianqiu Hall to have a look.

The three Li Chengyi brothers also had lunch just now. Because Li Longji slept too soundly, they thought twice and felt that Li Longji seemed to have not slept so soundly for a long time, so they did not wake him up for dinner. Soon after, Aya came, and they had to scream.

Li Longye saluted Li Dan, got up and was about to run over, but was stopped by Li Dan: "How long has he been asleep?" ”

"It's been two or three hours." Li Longye replied.

Li Dan frowned slightly: "In broad daylight, sleep for so long?" ”

Li Chengqi said: "A few days ago, San Lang has been running around and tired, and he must be extremely tired. When he first fell asleep, he still had a sheet music and a brush in his hand. ”

"No wonder you sleep so deeply...... After speaking, seeing that Li Chengqi kept looking at him, Li Dan coughed a little unnaturally, "Don't have a physical problem......

Li Longye's eyes immediately widened when he heard this-when did Aya start caring so much about the third brother's body? What did the eldest brother tell Aya when he just went to the Lizheng Palace? Aye's attitude...... Could it be......

Li Longye's reaction was too big, and Li Dan glanced at his young son: "What do you want to say?" ”

Li Longye smiled obediently and stuck to Li Dan's side: "Aya, I want to say, I feel that since I was a child, I have never seen my third brother sleep so soundly!" ”

Li Dan suddenly felt a little ridiculous. He was thinking about how to weaken his strength here, and even didn't let him be the crown prince altogether, so that he almost fell into a catastrophe, but not only did he not know it, but he also slept well, and his own ministers and Dalang paved the way for him. The luck of his three sons recently is really too good to be weird.

Even the heavens are helping him, could it be that the future of Datang really belongs to him?

Li Dan looked at Li Longji fixedly, and unconsciously, he stretched out his hand to tuck the quilt for him. Even Li Dan himself didn't expect that he would do such a thing for Li Longji. It wasn't until Bo had already been lifted by him that he came back to his senses. At this time, it was too late to put it down, and Li Longji had already opened his eyes.

- Why did he put it down? What is there for him to dodge, he is the father, he is the son, the father just tuck the quilt for the son, what an ordinary thing.

And when Li Dan saw Li Longji's stunned look, his heart seemed to be slammed by something.

He didn't know that what he did was unusual for Li Longji.

Seeing that Li Longji was still very humble and well-behaved towards him, Li Dan felt a little better and his attitude eased a little. He and Li Longji have not exchanged such greetings for a long time, although they are a little rusty due to lack of experience, but the most difficult beginning has passed, and they may become more and more skilled in the future, and gradually become as close as a pair of real father and son, just like him and Li Chengqi.

But there are a few words, and he still has to say: "You five brothers, since childhood, have depended on each other for their lives, living in the same house, sleeping in the same bed, such difficult days have passed, and you must be good in the future." As it was before, it will be as it will be. ”

Li Longye immediately said: "Aya, what are these words, our brothers have a good relationship, and they can't be separated in this life!" ”

Li Dan ignored his young son and only looked at Li Longji.

Because Li Longji had just woken up, his mind was still a little unable to turn. Hearing Aya say this, he tasted a little meaning, and said: "Aya rest assured, San Lang is in the middle, there is an elder brother and a younger brother, he will always be filial, and he will never live up to Aye's love for his son, and live up to the brotherhood of this life!" ”

Li Dan raised his hand and slowly stretched out his hand to Li Longji, originally wanting to caress his son's cheek like he did many years ago, but after thinking about it, he finally moved slightly and pressed it on Li Longji's shoulder. He wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, only patted Li Longji on the shoulder and turned to leave.

Li Chengqi was about to send it, but when he saw Li Dan waving his hand, he stopped. Li Chengyi and Li Longfan glanced at each other, understood something for a while, and looked at the eldest brother. Li Longye has been trapped in amazement, unable to extricate himself, I don't know how long it took before the surprise turned into joy and filled the whole heart.

Li Longji stared at Aya's back steadily, and his thoughts gradually became clearer. It was the general trend for him to become the crown prince, and it stands to reason that there should be no suspense, but Aya must be dissatisfied, just afraid that there will be an incident. Now that's ...... The incident is over, Aya has figured it out?

It's just that Aya is not at ease, afraid that he will attack his brothers, especially the eldest brother, which will take time to prove, and it will not be too late to talk about it in the future. He only wanted to know what happened during the time he was asleep, so he heard Li Chengqi smile gently: "It seems that in a few days at most, we should congratulate San Lang on his entry into the East Palace." As he spoke, he arched his hand at Li Longji in a manner, "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is polite." ”

Regarding the eldest brother's choice, although Li Chengyi sighed a little, he still followed unconditionally, and said that San Lang got the position of the crown prince, which was indeed deserved, so he had nothing to say, so he also joined in the fun and saluted.

Seeing that the anxious confrontation in his imagination quietly turned invisible, Li Longfan's heart was much happier, and then he remembered that the brush he broke not long ago seemed to be the most convenient one, and he was filled with joy and sorrow for a while, crying and laughing.

Li Longye was already flying happily. He took the eldest brother's arm in one hand and the third brother's in the other: "What prince is not very son, the third brother is still the third brother!" ”

Li Longji hurriedly turned sideways to avoid Li Chengqi's salute: "Big brother, what are you doing?" Aye: This is ...... ...... the end?"

Seeing that San Lang was rarely so ignorant and cute, Li Chengqi smiled softly: "Aya has ascended the throne, so naturally he wants to discuss the matter of the country." San Lang has made great contributions, and he is the best candidate for the crown prince, Aya is not against it, but he feels a little sorry for me, so he is indecisive and ambiguous. I'm afraid that some courtiers will listen to the wind and rain, and they will separate you and my brother, so I will go directly to Aya to show my heart, I just wait for San Lang to allow me to be a rich and noble idler who is too peaceful and happy, and I don't want to care about anything else. ”

"Big brother......" The more light and light Li Chengqi said, the heavier Li Longji's heart became.

If Li Chengqi wants to compete with him, it is not without a chance of winning, as long as it takes a long time, this credit is at most a memory, and the former prestige will inevitably fade, and when it is dragged to the country and the people, it is naturally the most secure inheritance of the eldest son.

But the eldest brother still gave it to him without hesitation, and even from a long time ago, when he had just begun to prepare for the coup d'Γ©tat, the eldest brother had already foreseen the future and made a choice in advance.

His eldest brother, from the very beginning, had already decided to give him everything, even the throne, the world.

Li Longji pounced and knelt down towards Li Chengqi, but he couldn't say anything. Li Chengqi only looked at his younger brother gently, and understood all his meaning at a glance-

You and my brother, tacitly. Since then, we will work together to share the Tang Dynasty.
