The surrounding palace attendants were suddenly silent.

Li Longji hurriedly said: "San Lang doesn't dare! ”

At this time, the Son of Heaven made a book and ordered the prince to supervise the country, and the appointment of officials below the sixth rank and the review of criminals below the punishment level were all in charge of the prince.

After the eunuch who announced the decree left, Princess Taiping snorted quietly: "Don't you dare? You're about to start supervising the country, even if you didn't dare to do anything before, you won't dare in the future, right? ”

It's not that Li Dan is swaying left and right this time. This letter was drafted together with the edict of the Song King, the King of Feng and the Princess Taiping, and it took several days of procedures before it was finally formed. The edict that was released was sent out yesterday through the province of Menxia, and the letter of the crown prince's supervision was finalized today. Princess Taiping just caught up with the announcement, not on purpose.

Li Longji did not expect the advent of this book. He thought that he could release his eldest brother and eldest brother, and even his aunt, who was so respectful, was placed in Puzhou instead of Dongdu, which was enough, although Aya didn't like to be the emperor, but the power was still very tight, and this time he would really let go, which was really unexpected.

But seeing that my aunt was menacing, and she didn't care about anything, this joy faded instantly, and even a little ominous premonition came to my heart.

Sure enough, before he could return to Princess Taiping, a minister from the East Palace came to report: The saint had just issued an edict, saying that it was a previously abandoned oblique seal official, and he would use it again.

At first, the officials of the East Palace saw that Princess Taiping was there, but they didn't dare to speak after entering the palace, but Princess Taiping asked with a smile, and His Royal Highness the Prince also nodded in agreement, so he opened his mouth. After saying this, Princess Taiping's smile became more gorgeous, and she couldn't stop nodding at him, but His Royal Highness the Prince's eyes changed.

What did he just say? Li Longji thought about it carefully, and after confirming that he had heard correctly, he finally understood why his aunt dared to come like this, make such a fuss, and she really came with Aya's attitude.

The will to restore the official position of the oblique seal is equivalent to immediately overturning all the previous achievements of Yao and Song, who are already in danger, and at some point, Aya will also demote them and release them. Why did Aya suddenly have such a decision, no need to ask, it must be the credit of her aunt.

She came here to scold herself, she wanted to tell herself that even if she seemed to be defeated, she wouldn't let him have a good time, no, she calculated that Aya would cut off the power of the East Palace?

Although the will of the crown prince has also been issued, it was Aye's idea a few days ago, and now even Yao and Song are suspicious and plan to abandon it, can their opinion of him remain the same?

Not long after this decree was read, Princess Taiping left the East Palace.

Wang Maozhong's face was pale with fright, but he had been standing firmly behind Li Longji, never weak, and he didn't want to stay away. There was silence in the hall, and he was the most uncontrollable: "Your Highness, this ......"

Li Longji raised his hand to stop Wang Maozhong's speech: "Wait, let me think about it carefully." ”

Wang Maozhong immediately shut up, and at the same time turned his eyes to look at Xiao Jiangyuan. If anyone can think of the same place almost at the same time as His Royal Highness, although he is unwilling, he has to admit that he has seen Xiao Jiangyuan for so many years.

After being silent for a long time, Xiao Jiangyuan said, "Your Highness can't sit still. ”

Li Longji also thought clearly: "Of course. He sighed and said, "Let's go, go to the Manna Temple." ”

Although Wang Maozhong couldn't understand what they meant, he could see that His Royal Highness's sigh was not only unwilling and reluctant, but also hidden a trace of apology and guilt, but it was all drowned in the deep eyes after a blink of an eye.

Li Dan had just thought of the prince of the East Palace by Yao Yuanchong and Song Jing, and he heard that Li Longji was coming. His mind was in turmoil, and he didn't hear who it was, so he beckoned him in, and when Li Longji appeared not far in front of him, he reacted: "Too...... The prince is here, but is there something wrong? ”

Li Longji immediately knelt down and said solemnly: "Yao Song and the two of them are separated from the blood-related relationship between the aunt, the eldest brother, the elder brother and San Lang, and the son has come to ask Aya to be sure to punish the two of them to death!" ”

Li Dan was stunned for a moment - Yao Yuanchong and Song Jing were both helping him, how could he be reluctant?

Li Longji knelt down deeply: "Just because San Lang is alone, he wants to let his aunt, eldest brother and even the eldest brother be released from Chang'an, San Lang is really uneasy!" If this is really the way to make the Tang Dynasty stable and the ministers feel at ease, then San Lang, the prince, don't do it! Please also ask Aya to issue an order to abolish the position of Prince Saburo and make the eldest brother the prince! ”

Of course, this decision made Li Longji very reluctant and unwilling, but he had no other way. Sooner or later, Aya will have to deal with Yao and Song, it is better to let him open this mouth, and the result is also a loss of support and prestige, but Aye's deprivation and his own abandonment have a completely different effect. What he has to think about now is how to minimize the loss, this approach may be ruthless, and even revenge, but if he loses his car to protect the handsome, he can come to a long time.

The two ministers of Yao and Song are much more experienced than him in terms of political struggle, and they will definitely understand. He will never let them go from now on, as long as everything settles and they are still alive in the coming day, he will definitely take them back to Chang'an.

Now, he had to make them suffer. If he wants to keep himself, he must first abandon them.

- This may also give them a way to live.

He knows his Aya too well, and if he says everything to death, Aya will be soft-hearted. Even if he really had the intention of killing Yao and Song at first, seeing that he didn't even want them at the moment, and they were old ministers who had been officials in the court since his grandmother was alive, Aya's disposition would be much softer because of this.

Sure enough, as Li Longji expected, after listening to Li Longji's words, Li Dan said: "Which ...... Where is it so serious? Yao and Song's suggestion, I still sound very reasonable, but there are some things, they can't do it well, but they don't want to be sentenced to death, after all, they are all old ministers...... In my opinion, they will all be released as assassins, and if their political achievements are good in the future, they will be recalled again. As for you, you don't have to worry so much, and you don't have to worry about your eldest brother less, and the position of the crown prince can also be changed? ”

"Then please Aya don't let go of my aunt and the two brothers, San Lang is really uneasy!"

Li Dan thought about it, if he really did this as San Lang said, then his sister would be equivalent to not having any disposition, and the East Palace would be greatly injured, this situation was too unbalanced, and it was not good for him and the country. So, a few days after Princess Taiping's departure, on the ninth day of the second month of the second year of Jingyun, he issued an edict to demote Yao Yuanchong to the Shenzhou Assassin History and Song Jing to the Chuzhou Assassin History, and two days later, he revoked the order to release the Song King Li Chengqi and the Feng King Li Shouli.

After this struggle, Li Longji and Princess Taiping had their own gains and losses, and they didn't even distinguish the winner.

But they know that nothing is over, as long as they are alive.

There are still long days, and the coming days are long.

On the day Yao Yuanchong left Chang'an, Xiao Jiangyuan went to see him off.

Song Jing left Yao Yuanchong one day earlier, and Xiao Jiangyuan also wanted to send it off at that time, but thinking of his cold face, he was still discouraged. Comparatively speaking, Yao Yuanchong is much more kind, although it is mostly superficial.

Yao Yuanchong's outfit is very small, it seems that since when he returned to Chang'an, he knew that he would have to leave sooner or later, and when it was time to set off, he only had a small servant, a donkey, a few burdens, and not even a decent horse.

Xiao Jiangyuan wanted to give him his horse, but was refused. Yao Yuanchong smiled and said, "You better worry about yourself more, I don't think you're safe." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan smiled slightly: "The identity of the slave and maid has been revealed to the world now, and it has been recognized by the saint, unless the saint can overthrow him, otherwise in this life, the slave and maid will not have such a crisis." ”

Yao Yuanchong shook his head: "Didn't the saint overthrow himself?" ”

Isn't it contradictory that the abolition of the oblique official is an edict issued by the saint himself, and the restoration of the oblique official is also?

Xiao Jiangyuan also thought of this, and was a little speechless, but he heard Yao Yuanchong continue: "But what I'm talking about is not your identity. The saint is not alone in the crisis. I think that at the beginning, when rumors about you came out in Chang'an City, I felt that something was wrong, it must have been manipulated by someone, so it would spread so quickly and so powerfully, and the person who manipulated the rumors ......" Yao Yuanchong approached Xiao Jiangyuan and whispered, "You never thought that it was not only the princess of Zhenguo?" ”

The swan song of the Tang Dynasty
