——This is the first time Li Longji has seen Wang Jun crying.

Because his wife is the daughter of a small family, she has always been open-minded and easy to be content, and she has been more heroic since she was a child. I don't know when it started, but she also added sentimentality. Li Longji felt quite uncomfortable in his heart, and he felt a little guilty, and he couldn't bear to speak again if he wanted to say something.

Who said that the mother of the nation can't dance a knife and a gun? Anyway, if she likes it, let her go, after all, he still likes her before more than now.

Although Li Longji didn't say anything, Wang Jun never allowed herself to practice martial arts in the palace until she became a deposed queen, which is a later story.

After Li Longji and Queen Wang set off to return to the palace, Xiao Jiangyuan and the palace looked at each other, and each told the emperor's entourage to come. At this time, Xiao Jiangyuan realized that Jingzhong was behind him, and he didn't know how long he had been standing. She asked the others to follow Li Longji into Penglai Pavilion first, while she pulled Jing Zhong aside and asked, "It's too early to get out of school today?" ”

As early as when Xiao Jiangyuan was about to block that shot for Li Longji, Jingzhong arrived. Li Longji's reaction, Xiao Jiangyuan's apprehension, he didn't miss it. He didn't like Li Longji in the first place, but now he doesn't like it even more, and he can't say what he feels in his heart, but he knows that when Li Longji took over the master, he wanted to cut off Li Longji's hand, although he didn't dare.

Seeing that Master's smile was no different from usual, Jing Zhong hurriedly picked up his brightest smile and nodded obediently, "Yes." The apprentice knew that the master was busy, and he shouldn't have bothered, but it was Princess Xue who asked someone to deliver a message to the master, and the apprentice was afraid of delaying things, so he ......"

Before he finished speaking, Jing Zhong felt a flower in front of him, and a faint fragrance of lotus flowers immediately filled his nose. He saw that the master was holding a plain white silk handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and his mind went blank for a moment, and he forgot all the words he wanted to say.

Hearing Jingzhong's sudden silence, Xiao Jiangyuan tilted his head in confusion: "What words?" ”

Jing Zhong hurriedly snatched Xiao Jiangyuan's silk handkerchief, lowered his head and said, "Princess Xue asked, the saint held a banquet of a thousand people, should he invite the emperor to participate in it." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, and said: "You go back, everyone's thousand-way banquet was originally held for the emperor, because he wanted to surprise the emperor, he never mentioned it to the emperor, but he didn't want to be self-defeating." For dinner today, everyone will personally go to Hanliang Hall to ask for sin. ”

Jing Zhong said, "Master, you don't have to ask the saint first? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan reached out to take the silk handkerchief in Jing Zhong's hand: "Do you think I'm telling a lie?" ”

Jing Zhong nodded ignorantly, and his hand couldn't help but tighten slightly: "Master, let me wash it and then return it to you." ”

It's just a silk handkerchief, and when he washes it, maybe the master will forget it, and then he will be able to keep it. Jing Zhong secretly made a small calculation, but he didn't want the master to say to him seriously: "Then you remember that you must pay it back." ”

Jing Zhong didn't expect it, he couldn't help frowning and raised his head, and saw that the master turned his head to look in the direction of Penglai Pavilion, and said helplessly: "Otherwise, some people should be unhappy." ”

Jing Zhong naturally accepted the master's request gladly, never disobeyed, and did not even dare to slack off in the slightest, but he had already scolded the emperor countless times in his heart - he was not even allowed to give away handkerchiefs, and he was so lenient.

But he didn't deliberately misinterpret Xiao Jiangyuan's reply to go back to Princess Xue because of this, in order to drive a wedge between Li Dan and Li Longji—although he did think so. But this is the task given to him by the master, and he must complete it well no matter what, and he must not disgrace the master.

Therefore, on this day's Qiansu banquet, the emperor and the son of heaven that the old people saw were the filial piety of the father and the son, and there was no pickiness. Li Xian and other brothers also attended, and they were also comforted a lot to see that the relationship between their father and Li Longji had eased a lot.

A few days after the Qiansu banquet, Li Longji took Li Dan, his brothers and his ministers and moved to Lishan Tangquan. Li Long basically thought that at the end of the year, he could finally relax a little, but he didn't want the ministers to immediately raise a topic that was particularly heavy for him: the establishment of the crown prince.

The crown prince is the foundation of the country, and early establishment can stabilize the court and the people's hearts, and it can also put an end to the brother's desire to seize the throne, and for Li Longji, who succeeded to the throne through special means, this can be regarded as a consolidation of his position. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the East Palace of the emperors of all dynasties has not been idle, and he Li Longji is no exception.

But he really felt that it was a little early. The prime of his life has just begun, and he wants to put an older one from his son by his side, waiting for his death every day to inherit this great country?

He didn't understand why his father could oscillate back and forth between his aunt and his own son, and he was always uneasy about himself, but now he understands everything. The crown prince has not yet been established, he is like this, if he is established in the future, he does not know how suspicious he should be, and whether the relationship between father and son will be weakened because of this, at least he will not be comfortable sitting on the throne.

He would have waited for the queen's concubine...... But I haven't had it for so many years, I'm afraid it won't be. He is not a monarch who ignores the overall situation, and he will not let his feelings be above everything else, so he first crowned his four eldest sons as princes in December, and then officially canonized his second son Li Siqian as the crown prince on the fourth day of the first month of the third year of Kaiyuan.

When she first learned of Li Longji's decision, Xiao Jiangyuan felt strange, and when she saw that the ministers did not object, she was even more strange: "Since there is no son-in-law, why don't you establish the eldest son of the emperor?" ”

The biological mother of the eldest son of the emperor, Concubine Liu De, has been in the palace for a longer time than Zhao Zhaoyi, the biological mother of the second son, and is from a good family, while Zhao Zhaoyi is a lowly player.

Li Longji didn't expect Xiao Jiangyuan to not know this reason, and asked, "Why do you think you were placed by your grandmother to serve in the first place?" ”

Does this question have anything to do with what she just asked? Xiao Jiangyuan became more and more incomprehensible, so he listened to Li Longji say: "Because you are good-looking." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan really never thought about this question, but he couldn't believe that the answer was as simple as Li Longji said. Even the emperor's widow said that she sometimes looked like the young Empress Zetian, and she was complacent about it, but today through Li Longji's mouth, she actually learned the second answer, and she also faintly felt that with the character of the Empress Zetian, this answer is very likely to be true.

She didn't want to continue to dwell on this issue, so she said: "So, everyone made the second son of the emperor the crown prince because the second son of the emperor is better looking than the eldest son of the emperor?" ”

Li Longji nodded first, and then shook his head: "What you said is also right, but the main reason is not Erlang." Saying that, Li Longji sighed guiltily, "Speaking of which, I can't live with Da Lang, if I hadn't taken Da Lang to hunt and didn't take good care of him, his face wouldn't have hurt, let alone lose the position of the prince." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan knew that the first thing to look at was the face of the Tang Dynasty election officials, but he didn't expect that the crown prince would be like this, and he would be so strict.

Xiao Jiangyuan here suddenly brightened, and over there Queen Wang stayed in the Penglai Pavilion, silent for a long time, and finally smiled and sighed, and then drove the noisy mother and brother out of the palace.

She has no fault, San Lang will not follow the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and then change the crown prince's biological mother as the queen after the abolition. As long as she is like Xiao Jiangyuan said, An An is a competent queen, and an amorous person like San Lang will not give up on her easily. She comforted herself countless times, but she still couldn't help but caress her lower abdomen and cry.

At this moment, Wu Guanyue, the virtuous concubine of the Ayaqi Palace, was pregnant again.

The establishment of the crown prince did not calm down the inner court, but caused some dark tides. Li Longji is not ignorant, but the splash is too small and far less important than the state affairs of foreign dynasties, so he just appeased Queen Wang, and let Queen Wang do the rest.

If she really wants to be a competent queen, this is the time to test her.

It's not that Li Longji doesn't want to help her, but he really lacks skills - one of Yao Chong's sons died, so he had to go home for a period of mourning leave, Li Longji didn't want to be an unkind son of heaven, so he had to let Yao Chong go.

As a result, many major national affairs that urgently need to be decided and handled have to be handled by Li Longji himself. Without Yao Chong, he felt that he didn't even have someone to talk to—Xiao Jiangyuan hadn't graduated yet, Lu Huaishen...... Never mind.

I heard that Yao Chong had just been gone for a few days, and the case files in the political hall were full of tables, and Lu Huaishen couldn't handle any of them, so it was better to follow Yao Chong's Chinese scholar Qi Huan!

Li Longji had a headache and couldn't help laughing self-deprecatingly.

Xiao Jiangyuan smiled when he saw that Li Longji was not angry, and said, "Everyone seems to have known for a long time that the Lu Xiang Guild will have today. ”

Li Longji sighed: "I can only blame myself, who let this prime minister be what I insisted on letting him do - I really didn't expect him to be like Yao Gong, and it would be good to be a 'companion prime minister'." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan knew what Lu Huaishen had been worried about, and when he heard Li Longji say this, he was surprised: "Why do you bother? ”

As soon as Li Longji wanted to explain, he saw Bian Lingcheng trotting into the hall, and hurriedly said, "Everyone, it's not good, just ...... Lu Xianggong is just outside the hall, and he has now left! ”

A wave of unsettled, wave after wave, Li Longji couldn't help but have more and more headaches. Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan looked at him and thought that his gaze actually implied a few complaints, he hurriedly stood up, and his speech was no longer sharp: "You, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that!" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan asked, "Then what do you mean?" ”

Li Longji was angry: "You! ”

"Everyone's angry!" Bian Lingcheng hurriedly persuaded, "Maybe ...... Lu Xianggong didn't hear anything......" After saying this, in fact, he didn't even believe it, so he said, "Besides, Lu Xianggong didn't resign because of this, maybe it was ...... Take this as a spur and aspire to be a good prime minister? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan glanced at Bian Lingcheng lightly and said, "I hope so." ”

Seeing that Bian Lingcheng hurriedly lowered his head respectfully, Li Longji raised his eyebrows and squinted at Xiao Jiangyuan with a smile: "General Xiao is very powerful now. ”
