[Chapter 1: The Change of the Emperor's Throne An Datang] (1)

The first year of Tang Long, June 21.

The sky will dawn, and the overall situation will be decided.

After Li Longji went to the Taiji Palace to meet the young emperor Li Chongmao, he led his troops out of the palace and rushed to the Xiangwang Mansion - it was time to take his father and brothers into the palace.

The sky gradually brightened, and the breeze was cool and refreshing. Li Longji held the reins in one hand and galloped on the streets of Chang'an, looking quite proud. He was very curious about Aye's expression when he saw him, after all, he didn't cause trouble this time, and let Aya re-ascend the emperor's throne.

But as soon as he arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Longji knew that he was wrong.

The atmosphere in the entire Xiangwang Mansion is very depressing, even if most people are happy, they are trying to hide their joy. Some people can hide it, some people can't.

The most hidden is Dalang Li Chengqi. He was glad that Aya was finally saved, and from this day on, their family no longer had to worry about life and death, but they had always been that calm and breezy appearance, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

And the one who can't hide the most is, of course, Gorou Li Longye.

Although the brothers all knew that San Lang was going to do a big thing in the near future, they didn't expect it to be launched on the night of the 20th, until they saw Princess Linzi fully armed. They got together and didn't sleep all night. Less than an hour after the third watch, they were relieved when Chen Xuanli arrived with his troops and told them about the night. Li Longye was even more happy to dance, and he had to help Chen Xuanli eradicate the remaining party.

Li Chengqi stopped him while holding his forehead: "The big thing has been accomplished, why don't you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see Aya first?" ”

Li Longye was born in peace, and obediently followed several brothers to the Prime Minister's Mansion. As soon as he saw Aya, he also rushed the fastest, and tears fell the fastest. Seeing the young son kneeling and coming on his knees, holding his legs tightly with his arms, his eyes were red, and he couldn't stop sobbing, Li Dan was amused and pitiful for a while, so he had to stroke the young son's head and sighed: "They are all married people, why do you still do this little behavior?" ”

Li Chengqi and others also knelt down to Li Dan to say goodbye. For the rest of his life after the catastrophe, both father and son had tears in their eyes. Just after greeting and warming for a while, when I heard my youngest son mention Li Longji, Li Dan's expression was slightly constricted: "I didn't know that I had such a capable son." ”

After Li Longji entered the study, knelt down and pleaded guilty, Li Dan's face softened: "You have just made a great achievement, how can you be guilty?" ”

Li Longji said: "The coup d'Γ©tat, I should have informed Aya in the morning, but there have always been soldiers guarding Empress Wei's palace outside the Prime Minister's mansion, and whether this matter can be done, San Lang really has no bottom in his heart, if San Lang is defeated, won't it affect Aye?" After thinking about it, Saburo finally didn't want to let Aya risk his life together. If he loses, then Saburo will be convicted alone, and if he wins, it will naturally be Aya......"

It's just a matter of going through the motions, so that Li Longji can make sense of filial piety, how could Li Dan not know? It's just that Li Longji won, it was the most prestigious time, and there were some dramas, and Li Dan had to accompany him to finish.

Li Dan's eyes swelled with water, and he helped Li Longji with both hands: "The Tang Dynasty Temple Sheji, now that it has been preserved, it is naturally your credit!" After a pause, "If your grandmother and aunt see it, they will be pleased." ”

This is the first time in many years that Li Dan has taken the initiative to mention Princess Liu and Concubine Dou. Li Longji suddenly felt that his eyes were a little blurry and moist, took a deep breath, and then said: "The Tang Dynasty has not yet settled down, Aya quickly follow San Lang into the palace to calm the people's hearts!" ”

Soon, Li Dan, the prime minister, sat in the Taiji Palace.

The young emperor Li Chongmao, with the assistance of Li Dan, issued a letter: the culprit has been ambushed, and the rest of the party will not be investigated. At the same time, Li Longji was named the king of Ping, the main and internal and external stables were in charge of the left and right ten thousand horses, Xue Chongjian was the king of Lijie, and Zhong Shaojing was appointed as the Zhongshu squire, Liu Youqiu was the Zhongshu Sheren, Ge Fushun and Chen Xuanli and others were also rewarded for their meritorious deeds, and they were respectively awarded the title of general and Zhonglang general.

On June 23, Princess Taiping also entered the palace to meet King Xiang. The will of the young emperor to the prime minister Li Dan was conveyed through Princess Taiping. Three invitations and three concessions, Li Dan naturally refused to accept it for the first time. The young emperor appointed Li Longji as the palace supervisor and the three products under the Tongzhong Shumen, so that Li Longji entered the ranks of the prime minister, and appointed Li Chengqi as the general of the left guard, Li Chengyi as the general of the right guard, Li Longfan as the general of the left Yulin, and Li Longye as the general of the right Yulin, in order to show that he was not subjective in his plea for the Zen position.

At this moment, the five sons of Xiangwang, who had been outside the center of power, jumped up and finally became known to the world.

It was also on this day that Wang Maozhong, who had disappeared without a trace, came back.

The ladies of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Five Princes' Mansion have not yet entered the palace, and Wang Maozhong can't enter the palace, so he has to return to the Five Princes' Mansion. In fact, as early as two days ago, after learning that Li Longji had successfully overthrown Empress Wei, he wanted to come back, but he was a little ashamed when he thought that he would say goodbye.

However, since Li Longji is still alive, he has nowhere to go. According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, the master is safe, and if the slave does not say goodbye, he is a fugitive slave, and if he is caught, he will be punished very severely. Datang is big, but he can't tolerate him. And after all, he has been with Li Longji for more than 20 years, and if he really leaves, he will feel reluctant, so he will move his mind to make meritorious contributions. As long as Li Longji is willing to forgive him, no matter what happens again in the future, he will not make the same mistake again.

Although Wang Jun, who has been promoted to Princess Ping, looks down on Wang Maozhong a little, she still looks down on Li Longji's face and treats each other well, just waiting for the person who went to the palace to deliver the message to come back, and then she will deal with it. As a result, half a day later, the messenger did not return, but Xiao Jiangyuan arrived.

Xiao Jiangyuan came in a hurry, and only said that King Ping wanted to see Wang Maozhong now. Wang Jun whispered to Xiao Jiangyuan for a while, and happily let them go.

Thinking of what Wang Jun said to himself, Xiao Jiangyuan shook his head and smiled-"Such a dog slave who is greedy for life and afraid of death, even if San Lang forgives him, he has to make him suffer a little!" You let it go, if San Lang dares to blame you for him, you will say that I let you! ”

Xiao Jiangyuan didn't tell Wang Jun, even if she didn't say it, she wouldn't let Wang Maozhong go. There was a first time, there was a second, and she never felt that a person's faithfulness could be hardened by forgiveness after a betrayal.

She lied to Wang Jun. Li Longji has been busy, and the messenger was received by her. After hearing about this, she pretended to tell Li Longji, but in fact she went out of the palace, in order to bring Wang Maozhong into the palace - Wang Maozhong came back two days late, if before, when Wan Qi killed the rest of the Wei Houdang, Xiao Jiangyuan fished in troubled waters, and solved Wang Maozhong, but now it is not easy to kill people outside the palace.

Even if Wang Maozhong didn't like Xiao Jiangyuan first, he had to be polite at this moment: "Xiao Neishi, Ah Lang is really willing to see me?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan smiled faintly: "You can come with me." ”

Wang Maozhong didn't know why, he always felt that Xiao Jiangyuan's smile was weird, and the eyes that looked at him were very wrong. He thought about it, after all, he did something that he didn't pay much attention to, even Linzi, who has always been straightforward and smiling...... No, Princess Ping, didn't she change her face a little, Xiao Jiangyuan is normal like this.

It can be seen that Xiao Jiangyuan took himself more and more away, and entered a low courtyard, Wang Maozhong panicked: "You don't want to take me to see Ah Lang!" ”

"You just know?" Xiao Jiangyuan stood still and turned his head, his waist straightened, and he smiled as before, "Regardless of whether Ah Lang still wants to see you, even if he wants to, what kind of face do you have to see him?" ”

"You...... Really! Wang Maozhong looked around, saw several sturdy eunuchs slowly surrounding him, and shouted, "Xiao Jiangyuan! What are you doing? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan didn't pay attention to him anymore, only Shi Shiran walked to the side of the mat and started to cook tea leisurely. Not far away, there was a roar of banging and roaring, but she didn't hear it. I don't know how long it took before she said leisurely: "Okay, let's kill." ”

One of the eunuchs immediately pulled out a dagger, and was just about to wipe it on Wang Maozhong's throat, when he felt that someone had mentioned his collar, and he involuntarily flipped back. It felt so familiar that he habitually shuddered and exclaimed, "Master! ”

Yang Siqiao took all his apprentices to the side after three or two clicks, and then looked at Xiao Jiangyuan in embarrassment - it was Li Longji who came with Yang Siqiao.

Li Longji saw that after Xiao Jiangyuan left, he didn't return for a long time, and thought that something had happened to the Five Kings' Mansion. When he went out of the palace and saw the messenger, he knew about the return of Wang Mao Zhong, and then thought of Xiao Jiangyuan's unauthorized action, he immediately understood what was going on, summoned Yang Sixuan, and went to the courtyard where he trained his attendants on weekdays.

Seeing that Wang Maozhong was beaten and his nose was blue and his face was swollen, Li Longji also felt very relieved, but he still said: "It was my intention to kill you, but I remembered my love affair with you for many years, and I just didn't say goodbye, and I didn't tell Wei Hou's party about me to win glory and wealth, so I will let you go today." In the future, as long as you know your mistakes and can change them, and there is no disloyalty, wealth and power, I will always be indispensable to you. ”

Wang Maozhong was already in despair, but he didn't expect Ah Lang to come to save him, and said these words to himself again. He knelt down in front of Li Longji's boots, and wept bitterly in shame. He wanted to open his mouth and make an oath for Li Longji, but he choked up in his throat.

How could he not see how hurried and anxious Ah Lang was this time, it was not at all the appearance that he knew in advance, let alone who killed him.

Ah Lang worked hard for her Xiao Jiangyuan, but is she worth it?

If it is a woman's pear blossom with rain, although Li Longji can't stand it a little, he can endure it for a while, but a big man holding his boots and crying non-stop, he can't bear it for a moment. After Yang Siqiao and his disciples took Wang Maozhong down to take care of him, Li Longji walked in front of Xiao Jiangyuan: "You are still so hot-handed and black-hearted. ”

Xiao Jiangyuan saluted Li Longji at this time: "It seems that Ah Lang has seen it more than once." ”

Li Longji hooked his lips and smiled: "On the eve of Shangyuan, Yu Niang." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Ah Lang thinks, shouldn't Wang Maozhong die? ”

"Then what do you think, Shangguan Wan...... Zhaorong, shouldn't you be damned? ”

The swan song of the Tang Dynasty
