The situation of Li Longji and others should start from the fourth day of the first month of June.

Soon after waking up that morning, Li Xian's death was announced to the world, shocking the entire Chang'an, and the Five Kings Mansion was no exception.

"Here's your chance!" Xiao Jiangyuan's first reaction when he heard the news was to go straight to Li Longji and say this to him without a head. If others listen to this, they must be confused, but when Li Longji hears it, it means a lot. He just wanted to say something to Xiao Jiangyuan, when he saw the little guy on the eldest brother's side come over and call him over to discuss the matter.

Li Chengji naturally called Li Longji alone. As soon as the five brothers got together, Li Longye said, "Sage, this is too sudden, right?" ”

"It's all too suddenly, it's just weird." Li Longfan couldn't help but say.

Li Chengyi only frowned slightly, and said, "It's time to call the first emperor." ”

Li Chengqi looked solemn and said lightly: "That has nothing to do with us." ”

Li Longye was very surprised when he said this kind of thing to his eldest brother: "The death of the Son of Heaven has nothing to do with us?" ”

Li Longji chuckled: "Could it be that the death of the Son of Heaven has something to do with you?" ”

Li Longye hurriedly said: "What does it have to do with me?!" Third brother, don't talk nonsense! ”

"yes, what does it have to do with us?" Li Longji turned his eyes and glanced at Xiao Jiangyuan, who was not far from him, "It's hard to protect yourself now, how can you care about anything else?" ”

The five brothers discussed important matters, Xiao Jiangyuan should have retreated outside the house, but was stopped by Li Longji and Li Longye together, one had no reason, and the other couldn't say a reason for a long time, or Li Chengqi said: "Ah Yuan is no longer an outsider, and he has always been resourceful, why don't you stay and help me?" ”

Otherwise, Xiao Jiangyuan also plans to find a reason to stay, so it's good. Hearing Li Longji say this, she was rarely a little puzzled, and was secretly wondering if there was something she didn't know yet, so she heard Li Longye ask for herself.

Li Longji first raised his eyes and glanced at Li Chengqi, and Li Chengqi said: "You just heard the news, but you haven't read the Di newspaper yet, right?" As he spoke, he took out the newspaper and handed it to his brothers. Except for Li Longji, who showed a look of "sure enough" after reading it, the other three were a little confused.

"This just talks about the content of the edict, King Wen was made the crown prince, succeeded to the emperor's throne, and Empress Wei was the regent of the dynasty, is there anything wrong with this?" Li Longye asked.

Li Longji said: "I'll tell you one more thing, and you will know what's wrong - the Prime Minister's Mansion has been surrounded by government soldiers." ”

Li Longye exclaimed: "The soldiers of that house were sent by the queen?!" ”

Seeing that the fifth brother asked the point, Li Longji nodded: "As soon as I heard the news of the death of the Son of Heaven, I sent someone to the Xiangwang Mansion to see the situation, but I didn't expect Queen Wei to move so fast, coupled with the current edict, it can really be described as Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it." ”

Li Chengqi said: "The first emperor collapsed, this edict can only be drafted temporarily, and since it is a temporary draft, it must be the result of many studies and compromises. It only mentions the new emperor and Empress Wei, and does not mention the Li Tang clan, to put it bluntly, it does not mention Aya, the head of the Li Tang clan, which in itself is an ominous omen. ”

Xiao Jiangyuan understood what Li Longji meant as early as when he glanced at the newspaper. She didn't rely on analysis, but on her understanding of Shangguan Wan'er. The legacy of the first emperor is a matter of great importance, it must have been drafted by Shangguan Wan'er herself, since she wrote it, she would never offend people so blatantly, no matter how weak the Li Tang clan is compared to Empress Wei, it is also a way out, and she likes to leave a way out for herself the most.

Now that the edict has become like this, something else must have happened in it.

"Isn't that dangerous right now?!" Li Longye said that he was about to rush out.

Li Longfan's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly hugged his younger brother's waist: "Be honest!" What's the use of you rushing over? ”

"But Aya......"

"Aya is still safe for the time being, don't worry." Li Longji said, "Otherwise, we can't be so safe now." ”

Li Chengqi sighed: "It's just ...... Since Queen Wei has besieged Aya, she will not be stingy in besieging others, you and I are all Aya's sons and daughters, not others, maybe it won't be long before these five princes' mansions will become the next Xiangwang Mansion. ”

"That'...... Shall we just sit back and wait? Li Longye looked unwilling.

"If you act rashly, will you not startle the snake?" Li Longji glanced at Li Longye, "At least, we must wait until the new emperor ascends the throne before acting." If the Five Kings' Mansion had not been fenced off at that time, it would not have been fenced off again. ”

Li Chengqi nodded: "That's right." I called you here, and that's what I want to say. ”

In Li Longye's life, these three days were simply one of the most difficult. Finally waited for the new emperor to ascend the throne, but there was still no sign of being guarded by the Five Kings Mansion, even if he was like a swallow that could just fly, he was about to run out of the Five Kings Mansion with his legs raised.

This time, Li Longfan didn't stop him, and no one stopped him.

Li Longye ran a few steps, and found that no one stopped him, and he was puzzled and bottomless, so his footsteps gradually stopped: "You guys...... Why didn't you stop this time? ”

"I stopped you before, I was afraid that you would get into trouble, but now I won't stop you because it's time for the Queen Mother to see the normal reaction of our Five Princes' Mansion to the siege of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so as not to make her feel strange and suspect us." Li Longfan had a natural look on his face, as if he was telling Li Longye, look, I am actually smarter than you.

Although Li Longye was angry in his heart, he didn't bother to bother with the fourth brother at this time, and just asked, "Then I really went?" Seeing Li Chengqi nodding, his heart was a little certain, and after thinking about it, he pulled Xiao Jiangyuan over, "I'm not sure if I go alone, you go with me." ”

Without waiting for Xiao Jiangyuan to speak, Li Longji said first: "That's my personal servant, not yours, and where are you alone when you go out on weekdays?" Who would dare to let you go out alone? What are you dragging my little guy for? ”

Li Longye was unconvinced: "Ah Yuan is not your alone, she belongs to the entire Five Kings Mansion!" ”

Li Longji was about to speak, but he saw Xiao Jiangyuan smiling slightly, and saluted to himself: "Please also ask Ah Lang to agree, let the slave and maid go with him once, not to mention the king of Zhongshan, it is really worrying, there are some things, the slave and maid also want to know in their hearts, maybe...... The slave and maid can also enter the palace of the prime minister and see the king of the prime minister. ”

Li Longye was pleasantly surprised: "You...... May I? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan blinked faintly: "You have to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find out." ”

"Then let's go." Li Longye took Xiao Jiangyuan as he spoke, turned around and left, ignoring Li Longji's suddenly stretched out arm that didn't know what he wanted to do.

Li Longji was already entangled with worries and worries in his heart, and when he saw that Li Longye dared to do this, his mood suddenly became irritable and angry. Seeing that Li Longye had already begun to take steps, he immediately said: "Big brother, why did you say that the Queen Mother didn't care about us, and didn't even send a single soldier?" ”

Li Chengqi couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "After all, we are still young, and we don't have the slightest political achievements, so it's normal for the Queen Mother not to take us seriously." ”

Li Longji said again: "Although the Queen Mother did not send soldiers to see us, it is not yet known whether she will send us out again just in case." We've got to plan for it as soon as possible......"

Li Chengqi turned his head and was about to listen to what Li Longji's "plan" was, but saw that Li Longji suddenly fell silent. However, after a short time, Li Longye really let go and retreated: "What are you going to do?" ”

Li Longji smiled proudly: "Naturally, I want to save Aya." ”

"Then how does the third brother want to save it?"

There was silence in the room. Li Longji smiled, and his expression showed a bit of seriousness and solemnity: "Whoever makes Aya feel so uncomfortable, who will be solved, so, feasible?" ”

Without waiting for Li Longye to nod, Li Chengqi said first: "No!" ”

Li Longji asked, "Why not?" ”

"The person you are talking about is now the Queen Mother, because of her identity, if you want to move her, it is a rebellion!"

"I don't really want to move her, but if she doesn't let go of Aye, I can only ......"

"But what you want to do now is to make fun of Aya's life and the entire Xiangwang Mansion! As the son of the Prime Minister, everything should be focused on the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now that you can seek stability, why do you want to win in danger? ”

"Born in adversity and dying in peace, the timing is different, and the choice between stability and danger is naturally different."

"It seems that you have been thinking about it for a long time, but the time has not come. But right now, do you think it's the best time? Li Chengqi looked at this younger brother who had learned to forbear since he was a child and knew how to hide all his emotions with wanton laughter, and his heart was full of mixed feelings for a while. Li Sanlang, who angrily denounced Wu Yizong in the past, is still there, if he was just an unintentional mistake back then, but now he is going to take the initiative and set off a storm with his own hands. This turmoil is difficult and dangerous, and the possibility of success is extremely small, and if it fails, it will be shattered, and there is no room for turnaround.

Li Longji thought for a moment when he heard this, and said, "Now may not be the best time, but it is the most timely. ”

Li Chengqi hesitated for a moment, and finally asked: "Are you so insistent, is it for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, for the sake of the Xiangwangfu and Aye, or ...... For your own sake? ”

Li Longji was stunned for a moment, first a little incredulous, as if he didn't expect his eldest brother to ask himself like this. After thinking about it, he immediately reacted to something, and there was hesitation and concern in his eyes. He took a deep breath, put away all the bad emotions, and finally said with a smile on the corner of his lips: "Without the Tang Dynasty, without the Prime Minister's Mansion and Aye, how can I come to myself?" ”

There was silence in the room.

After a while, Xiao Jiangyuan, who had rarely spoken, broke the silence: "Throughout the ages, who hasn't fought hard in the world?" The opportunity cannot be lost, the loss will not come again, although the loser is a coward, the winner can be the king. ”
