The sun outside the hall was just right, and Li Chengqi walked towards the Lizheng Hall very leisurely, as if he was going to the most ordinary flower viewing appointment.

At this time, in the Lizheng Palace, some of the courtiers who returned together were repeatedly admonishing, weighing the pros and cons, and even moved out of the Xuanwumen Revolution extremely obscurively - although Emperor Taizong was a generation of Ming monarchs, he was also frank about this matter, and let future generations comment, but he launched a mutiny to kill his brother and kill his brother, and finally succeeded in Longden 951, after all, he still set a bad example for future generations. This is the shadow under the light of the imperial power, and it is the hidden disease that treats the symptoms but cannot cure the root cause.

If King Song is really made the crown prince, I am afraid that King Ping will be dissatisfied, even if the relationship between the brothers is deep, is it possible that before the Li family competed for the world, Prince Yin and Emperor Taizong did not have a deep relationship?

Datang has just been in a mess, if there is another one next, and no matter how much the court and outside the court can't stand it at all, then the mutiny will be like child's play, Datang has a vast territory, and I'm afraid that everyone will want a piece of the pie. If the most serious thing is to say, the country will not be a country, the heroes will rise together, the world will be in chaos, and the Tang Dynasty will be safe?

Li Dan had a headache when he heard it. When you are not in power, you want to be in power, and once you are in power, you feel irritable and tired. Aren't these courtiers supposed to be loyal to him, why don't they plan for him, and speak for Li Sanlang so unitedly? If they agree with his idea, and now that the edict for the crown prince has been drafted, even if there are hidden dangers and troubles, it will be a matter for the future. He doesn't believe that if he takes precautions in advance, a budding Li Sanlang can still set off another storm, leading to such serious consequences?

As the Supreme of the Ninety-Five, the minister does not help himself, he obviously has the supreme power in his hands, but he still can't do anything, what does this emperor mean in front of him? Li Dan unconsciously missed the days when he was his mother's puppet. At that time, he was also an emperor, but he didn't have to worry about anything, although he didn't look like an emperor, but he wasn't as troublesome as he is now.

Li Dan couldn't help but sigh secretly, he is really not suitable to be the Son of Heaven, from ancient times to the present, how can an emperor regret it when he just ascended the throne, and even wondered when he would end such a life?

The courtiers were right, and he was not ignorant. Although he didn't like these courtiers very much, he didn't dare to do anything to them. Who said that the emperor can do whatever he wants, many times he doesn't have to listen to the ministers, Emperor Taizong and Wei Zheng are like this, and A-Niang and Di Renjie are the same. Although he doesn't want to be an emperor anymore, it doesn't mean that he wants to be evaluated as a faint monarch who doesn't accept his advice.

I don't know when Da Lang will come to express his stance to him, does it really make sense for him to insist like this?

At this time, a eunuch bowed respectfully into the palace and said, "Enlighten everyone, Song Wangzhi." ”

Li Dan hurriedly said: "Please." ”

Before the mourning period of the first emperor passed, Li Chengqi wore a plain snow-white round-necked robe with no ornaments, and wore an ink-colored hat, and came simply. His face was handsome, with a gentle silhouette, which made him even more refined and detached against his frosty complexion. His steps are unhurried, very gentle, but the hem of his clothes flows like the waves of a river, step after step, he is like an immortal who comes by the waves, not in a hurry, not in a hurry, not in a hurry.

Seeing the eldest son's such a leisurely appearance, Li Dan nodded secretly, and unconsciously glanced at the ministers - so Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without being surprised, Fang is the true character of the Son of Heaven, where is his eldest son not as good as Li Sanlang, who is opportunistic and calculating?

But as soon as Li Chengqi stood still, he knelt down straight, and bowed directly without asking for peace: "Erchen implores the saint to establish King Ping as the crown prince, so as to calm the hearts of the people in the world!" ”

From the moment they heard that Li Chengqi was coming, the ministers looked at each other and secretly felt low. Seeing Li Chengqi like this, they all stood up from the mat, walked to both sides of Li Chengqi, and bowed to Li Dan and said: "King Song Xiande, the ministers seconded the proposal, and please think twice!" ”

Li Dan couldn't help it now. After being supported by the eunuch, he stood up with some difficulty, pointed at Li Chengqi and frowned, "You...... What are you doing here?! ”

Li Chengqi straightened up, raised his head and arched his hand: "Erchen knows that the saint loves his son, and he can't bear to be the eldest son but has no chance to inherit. However, the country's security side is the first, and the country's crisis is the first to merit. At present, the rebellion of Webster after the abolition is not preliminary, although the son is the elder, but there is no size of the merit, on the contrary, the king of Ping is in the country and the people, all have great merit. If the saint abandons King Ping and appoints his son as the crown prince, so that the meritorious person will not be rewarded, and no matter if the son is ashamed to respond to the edict, let alone dare to face the people of the Tang Dynasty, what will the heroes think at that time, and what will the people think? Not only are the princes unfair, but so are the sons! I implore the saint to conform to the will of heaven and the people, and make King Ping the crown prince, and the sons would rather die than live above King Ping! ”

"You ......" Li Chengqi knocked every word heavily on Li Dan's heart. Listening to the eldest son's formal words, staring at the eldest son's gentle and indifferent expression, Li Dan was both angry and distressed. After the ministers seconded the proposal again, he leaned lightly on the arm of the eunuch behind him, hung his head very weakly and said: "All the ministers are also tired, and it is noon, so they will give the food to the corridor." After dinner, all the princes will go back to rest. ”

How could the ministers not know that the sage wanted to talk to King Song alone, anyway, King Song had already said those words in front of them, and they couldn't take it back in the future, so they all retreated with interest.

Li Dan waved his hand again, and asked the eunuchs and palace people in the palace to retreat outside the hall, and even those who insisted on supporting themselves behind him were scolded by him. Without the support of the eunuchs, his body shook, but he still stood still. After being silent for a long time, seeing that although the eldest son wanted to get up and support himself just now, he was relieved after he stood up, and continued to kneel upright, Li Dan sighed and beckoned to the eldest son: "Get up." You and I, my dear father and son, what can't we say well? ”

Only then did Li Chengqi stand up and help Li Dan sit down: "Then what you want to say now, Aye Ke is still willing to listen?" ”

Li Dan glanced at Li Chengqi and did not speak.

Li Chengqi smiled gently: "What I want to say, I have almost said it just now." Aya understands the truth, and there is no need to repeat it, but there is one point, and I still have to say it to Aye. Before Aya proposed to establish Er'er as the crown prince, he should have thought that there would be today, and it was naturally expected that the ministers would oppose it so fiercely, and Aya knew so much about Er, didn't he know how Er'er would react? But Aya still did it - the matter has long passed, is Aya still blaming Saburo? ”

Li Dan still didn't speak, but his hands couldn't help but tighten slowly, grabbing the hem of his clothes.

"All of Aya's prejudices against Saburo actually originated from that time. But back then, was everything Saburo's fault? Over the years, my son has never said anything about the events of the past, although he has the intention of guarding against his grandmother, and he also hopes that Aya can gradually come out, but he does not want to cause today. There are some words that have been buried deep in my heart for a long time, but I have to say them at this moment. ”

Li Chengqi's voice sank, and the meaning of the sound came spontaneously: "Back then, if I was the one who was stopped and wantonly insulted by Wu Yizong on the street, even if I wouldn't be as happy as San Lang did, I would never spare that guy." Aya was the emperor's heir at that time after all, and his parents and children were humiliated, so what should Aya do? How can I let a despicable and shameless person insult me, and let the court and the outside of the court despise the East Palace? ”

Li Dan has always known that the eldest son is kind and docile on the surface, but in fact he has his own tenacity and arrogance, but he never shows it easily, if he has a seizure, he is afraid that the third son and even the youngest son will not be able to harden him. But until today, he didn't see the appearance of his eldest son, and he didn't feel more and more distressed.

Li Chengqi sighed: "And what Saburo said at that time, isn't it Aya's heart?" ”

My Li family's court, what are you doing?

This is the court of my Li family, what does it have to do with your martial family?

Li Dan has lived in the wealthy family of the Li family since he was a child, but later he was forced by his mother to abdicate and give up the surname Wu, how could he not have a trace of unwillingness and resentment in his heart? It's just that he is all suppressed, and he must keep this life before he can look forward to the coming day. No matter how depressed he was, even if he really seemed to have nothing to do later, there was always such a question and shout in his heart. He always wanted to ask his mother, this is the Li family court left by Aya, why did she keep it for herself, and didn't even care about her own flesh and blood?

Li Longji shouted these words, but when Li Dan learned about it, his initial feeling was that his heart was happy for a moment.

However, the consequences are unbearable for him.

It is not so much that he is thinking about Li Longji back then, but that he is complaining about himself back then. It's just that he still refuses to admit it. Li Chengqi can see this clearly, but he can't say it.

Seeing that Aye's expression was relaxed, Li Chengqi continued: "San Lang is Aya's biological son after all, Aya is at most in love, compared to me, but he still cares in his heart, otherwise when Datang and Tubo played polo a few years ago, how could Aya be so worried about San Lang's safety?" Even now, Aya is only vacillating between Er and Saburo in the matter of establishing a prince, and he has never completely leaned towards Son's side, presumably because he can't bear it. ”

Li Dan was silent, and finally nodded.

Li Chengqi said with a smile: "The overall situation has been decided, the general trend is coming, I can see it clearly and open my heart, if Aya is really distressed, then let Er be a rich idler properly, don't do any more useless struggles and cause trouble to Er." If one day, the son becomes the son of heaven, what will happen to the flowers? If it is handed over to the palace people to take care of, they will be thankful if they don't fold it off and put it on their heads, and if it is handed over to the rough people of the eunuchs, it is better to bury the flowers with their own hands, and save them from suffering. ”

"You, ......" Facing such an eldest son, Li Dan could only sigh deeply.

Li Chengqi curled his face: "After the country is established, and then deal with some imminent matters, Aya can calm down and summon the souls of A-Niang and Aunt Dou to be buried." ”
