Xiao Jiangyuan felt very uncomfortable when he heard this.

How romantic was her family Ah Lang in the past, and now she is so frustrated? There is really no way to do what he wants to do now, the East Palace is different from the past, and he can't do anything that can threaten Princess Taiping for the time being. But...... That heart should always be there, right?

At this time, Xue Chongjian came.

Since Xue Chongjian returned to Chang'an from Puzhou last year, Princess Zhenguo moved from the Five Princes' Mansion to the East Palace and lived with Li Longji. As Princess Taiping's power became higher and higher, far more than in previous years, his temperament became more and more quiet, shrinking in the side hall all day long, still writing "Thousand Character Essay" years ago, and began to look for famous poems to write after the year. If nothing else, his calligraphy is getting better and better.

He rarely goes out these days, even Li Longji rarely sees him, and Li Longji doesn't bother him, let him do whatever he wants. Therefore, on this day, Xue Chongjian came very suddenly.

Seeing Xue Chong greet himself, Wulang, and Wu Guanyue in a regular manner, Li Longji sighed in his heart, and still smiled on the surface: "Cousin is a rare guest, come and sit down, and tell me whose poems you have been writing recently?" ”

Xue Chongjian originally had something to say, but when he heard Li Longji ask, he thought about it and said, "Wang Majie's poem." ”

Li Longji sighed "ah": "It's the prodigy of the Taiyuan Wang family, the word Maha?" ”

Xue Chongjian nodded, and shook his head again: "It's just that the ancestors used to be the Taiyuan Wang clan for more than ten generations, and then moved to Hedong, and now they are in the Eastern Capital." ”

"This Wang Maha is no more than twelve years old now, and he has already passed down his poems and texts, and his reputation has spread from Luoyang to Chang'an, he is really a hero!" Li Longji was quite appreciative, "With such talent, if you participate in the imperial examination in the future, you will definitely be able to enter high school." It's just that even if he is famous, he won't write much at a young age - you've been writing about him alone in the past few months? I don't feel tired either. ”

Xue Chongjian said: "Although there are not many poems and texts that he has handed down, they are extremely rare, and the Taoism is naturally full of Zen. When you copy too much, your heart is still. ”

Li Longji didn't know what to say for a while, so he listened to Xue Chongjian continue: "But in fact, I didn't just copy his poems, there was also an article by another person, and I have often written it for more than a month. After a pause, his expression was slightly gloomy, and his tone was low, "Luo Bingwang's "Seeking Wu Xuanwen." ”

Li Longji's eyebrows raised slightly. Xiao Jiangyuan and Wu Guanyue's expressions were almost the same, and they both smiled sluggishly. Li Longye looked at the expressions of several people, silently lowered his head and drank tea, and did not dare to speak out.

"Look at the world of today's domain, whose family is it? If Ah Niang continues like this, if she does not subvert the orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty, she will subvert herself. I want to persuade her. ”

"It's not like you haven't persuaded you before, you know the result." Li Longji smiled and patted Xue Chongjian's shoulder, "If you think you live with me, you're embarrassed, you don't have to be like this." You and I have been brothers for many years, why do you have to see each other? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan said at this time: "Your Highness, King Lijie could have gone directly out of the East Palace today to find the princess of Zhenguo, but he told His Highness so seriously first, didn't His Highness ask the reason?" ”

Thinking about it this way, Xue Chongjian is indeed very abnormal today. Of course, he has been quite abnormal in the past few months, but today is not the same as before.

Xue Chongjian originally planned to leave after informing his cousin, he was going to persuade A-Niang, the reason was ready-made, and he never thought that he would be asked. As soon as Xiao Jiangyuan said this, Li Longji immediately asked, Xue Chongjian didn't have any relevant preparations in advance, and immediately stood up.

Li Longji's eyes sank: "You won't be ...... Now that you're gone, you won't come back—are you going to die? ”

Xue Chongjian said sadly: "...... I can't think of any other way to stop A-Niang......"

Li Longji turned his eyes to Xiao Jiangyuan, Wu Guanyue and Li Longye.

Li Longye had already sat down beside Xue Chongjian, patted Xue Chongjian's shoulder heavily, sighed heavily, and didn't say anything. Xiao Jiangyuan was just about to speak, but he heard Wu Guanyue say: "Does King Lijie think that death can make Princess Zhenguo stop all this?" ”

Xue Chongjian said: "...... I do not know. ”

"No, you know." Wu Guanyue smiled calmly, "You know that even if you die, it won't help. But you think that you have to do something, whether it is for Datang or San Lang. Yueniang has something to tell King Lijie, maybe it's not very good, I don't know if King Lijie is interested? ”

"Liangyuan, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"The struggle for power and profit, unless you die, you can't stop, because once you stop, it is equivalent to regression, and regression means that there is no return. Therefore, even if the king of Lijie admonishes him to death, the result obtained will inevitably be bad. There is only one possibility to die, but there are thousands of possibilities to live, although the king of Lijie can't think of other ways now, it doesn't mean that he can't think of it in the future, although it may not be too late. The most important thing is that Saburo must not be willing to take this path for King Lijie. ”

Seeing that Xue Chongjian was deep in thought, and no one spoke for a while, Xiao Jiangyuan added: "If King Lijie goes, he may not be able to die, if he is captured by Princess Zhenguo, and then release the news, saying that King Lijie has admitted his mistakes and corrected his mistakes, and Princess Zhenguo is loving and has resumed her mother-son status, what kind of impact will this have on the East Palace and His Royal Highness, has King Lijie ever thought about it?" ”

Li Longji wanted to nod at this time, but remembering that Xiao Jiangyuan was still eating Wu Guanyue's vinegar, he controlled his head.

Xue Chongjian shook his head: "What kind of impact will it have?" ”

"Even King Lijie, who has always supported His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and even parted ways with his biological mother, Princess Zhenguo, finally left the East Palace and returned to the Princess Zhenguo Mansion, it seems that the Prince of the East Palace is really exhausted - almost everyone will think so."

Li Longye asked, "What can they do even if they think so?" That's not true. ”

Wu Guanyue suddenly said: "It doesn't matter if this is the truth or not, the important thing is that once the courtiers think so, those who originally supported the East Palace will either return to neutrality or turn against each other, let alone those who were originally neutral, or even support the Princess Mansion of Zhenguo." The most terrifying thing is that they think that the abolition of the prince is inevitable, and when they follow the princess of Zhenguo to suggest to the sage, they will be very confident, plus there are few people who oppose it now, what kind of decision will the sage make, is there still suspense? ”

Li Longji smiled: "That's right. So cousin, don't make a mess for me, I could have been the prince for a few more months, but if you do this, I won't be able to do it for even a month. ”

When he said it just now, Li Longji didn't react at all, but after Wu Guanyue finished speaking, he immediately agreed...... Xiao Jiangyuan took two steps back without a trace, and was a little farther away from Li Longji.

Xue Chongjian and Li Longye were both shocked and looked at each other. They didn't expect this to lead to such serious consequences, and they never mentioned the matter of persuading Princess Zhenguo again. Xue Chongjian's face was full of apologies: "Cousin...... I ...... so much."

"I told you you don't have to be like that. As long as you will, you and my brother will remain the same as before. Li Longji put down the edict and pen in his hand, cooked a cup of tea for Xue Chongjian with his own hands, and handed it over, "You, don't think so much, what should come will always come, no one can stop it, no one can push it if it shouldn't come." I only hope that even if it is really abolished in the future, I can still be an idle clan, and it will not be as miserable as the previous abolished prince. ”

Generally speaking, the abolition of the crown prince is different from the abolition of the queen, because he used to be a prince, his identity is different from that of other clans, and there are very few people who can still live after being deposed. The previous abolished prince, the closest to this time was Li Chongjun, which was different from Li Longji's nature. Further forward is Zhang Huai's prince Li Xian, Li Xian was first exiled to Bazhou, lived a long hard life, and then was really given death by an edict from the Queen of the Great Sage.

Li Longye immediately said: "No! Even if the third brother is abolished, the next prince must be the eldest brother, Aya is soft-hearted, and the eldest brother will not! ”

“…… Why do you say that I will be deposed? Li Longji said helplessly.

Li Longye hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no!" That was not what I meant! ”

"Alright, you can go home quickly." Li Longji also waved his hand.

Li Longye flattened his mouth worriedly, and finally said, "Okay, I'll come to see you tomorrow." ”

"No need to ...... tomorrow" Before Li Longji finished speaking, Li Longye had already run away.

Wu Guanyue covered her lips and smiled: "Today is the last day of Xiu Mu, tomorrow he has to come to have something, no matter what." ”

Li Longji held his forehead: "I don't want to see him anymore." ”

When everyone left, and only Li Longji and Xiao Jiangyuan were left in the hall, Li Longji took away all his expressions, slumped on the seat, felt its cold temperature, and said, "This time, I really can't do anything." As...... You go and follow the big brother. ”

The swan song of the Tang Dynasty
