Yesterday, Princess Taiping went out of the palace and returned to the house, starting her one-month lockdown period, which was a very good thing, but I didn't expect that night, Princess Taiping invited Li Chengqi, the king of Song, to the house, saying that her aunt and nephew hadn't seen her for a long time.

After Yao Yuanchong and Song Jing learned about this, they went to Li Dan's place to meet the next morning.

Yao Yuanchong took the lead and said: "The matter has come to this, and it doesn't matter what the so-called truth is. If the princess of Zhenguo is just dissatisfied with His Royal Highness the Prince, then it will be fine, and now she dares to abolish the heart, if the saint does not take measures again, I am afraid that the princess of Zhenguo will become the second Wei Shuren. ”

Li Dan smiled very unnaturally: "No, no, she is peaceful...... She's just ......"

He knew how irrational and inappropriate Princess Taiping was to invite Li Chengqi into the mansion at this time, but he also understood that she had no choice. He is selfish, so he naturally lets it go. Now that it has aroused the opposition and impeachment of the courtiers, although he had expected it a long time ago, he didn't expect that even Yao Yuanchong would say it so seriously.

Song Jing opened his mouth and said: "King Song is the eldest son of the saint, and King Feng is the eldest grandson of the emperor. At present, the princess of Zhenguo has found King Song, the result is not yet known, if it does not work out this time, the princess of Zhenguo is afraid that she will find King Feng again. Princess Zhenguo spread rumors and created trouble before, and now she is framing each other between the two of them, which will definitely endanger the East Palace. In order to settle the Tang Dynasty, the minister asked the sage to release the King of Song and the King of Feng as assassins, and place the princess of Zhenguo and the concubine to Luoyang, the eastern capital. ”

Li Dan had a headache - Yao Yuanchong was just scaring him with the results, but Song Jing was good, skipping this step directly and telling him what he should do.

It's really boring to be an emperor.

But in this situation, I can't retreat if I want to, so I'll endure it for a while.

As soon as Li Dan was about to speak, Yao Yuanchong seemed to have just remembered something, and said: "I also ask the sage to remove King Qi and King Xue from their positions as the left and right Yulin generals at the same time, and appoint them as the left and right guards of the crown prince to help the crown prince." ”

Li Dan: "......"

Why didn't they let go of any of them?!

After thinking about it carefully, Li Dan dared to reply: "I only have Taiping as a compatriot now." Last night I dreamed of the Emperor and the Queen of Heaven, and they were very worried about this young lady and told me to take good care of her. She did make mistakes, but didn't I ground her? Even if she still has some small movements, how can I place her far away in the Eastern Capital because of this? ”

Brought out the Emperor and Queen of Heaven...... Yao Yuanchong nodded secretly in his heart, this saint has experienced these things, and he is indeed smarter than before, don't care if the dream is true or not, if you say it, that is, filial piety is great, and they have nothing to say about this. But they are dignified prime ministers, and they have finally opened their mouths, and they can't get any results, right...... After all, the other mentions are also important.

Yao Yuanchong said: "The sage's mood is very understandable. The saint is only the sister of the princess of Zhenguo, and she can love her as much as she wants, but she ...... Some things are too difficult to prevent, so it's important to plan for them as soon as possible. ”

Hearing Yao Yuanchong say this, Song Jing said: "As long as the matter of the kings is resolved, even if the princess of Zhenguo wants to do anything, she will not be able to start." If the saint refuses to release the princess of Zhenguo, for the sake of the stability of the Tang Dynasty, please also ask the saint to agree, release the king of Song as the assassin of the history, and the king of Qi and the king of Xue will be changed to the prince's left and right guard rate! ”

Li Dan knew that he was bargaining, and he couldn't talk about these old ministers, although he felt sorry for Li Chengqi, he had to agree first. Thinking about it, he was still unwilling, and immediately said: "This matter must wait until after the first month to do it!" ”

Yao Yuanchong and Song Jing arched their hands in unison and said, "Naturally." ”

Seeing that Yao Yuanchong and Song Jing agreed so happily, Li Dan always had a feeling that he was still calculated by the two of them after all.

December of the first year of Jingyun came to an end, ushering in the first month of the second year of Jingyun.

On the nineteenth day of the first month of the second year of Jingyun, Li Dan posthumously crowned his deceased wife Liu as Empress Suming, and his deceased concubine Dou as Empress Zhaocheng. On the same day, the two queens were buried in the south of the eastern capital, Queen Suming entered Huiling, Empress Zhaocheng entered Jingling, and the temple was in Beijing, called "Yikun Temple".

Princess Taiping ended her grounding period ahead of schedule, saying that she was going to see off her two sisters-in-law. Li Dan not only allowed it, but also let her stay by his side. Soon, he heard that the hearts of the courtiers had returned to the East Palace. He pretended to ask the prime ministers about it casually, but the prime ministers still saw through it at a glance.

Yao Yuanchong and Song Jing wanted to avoid suspicion, this kind of talk could not be answered, Wei Anshi, who had always had opinions about Princess Taiping, stood up and said: "Where did the sage hear such words about the death of the country?" ”

Seeing that Li Dan couldn't say it for a while, Wei Anshi said: "It seems that this must be said by the princess of Zhenguo, I don't know where the princess knew about it, and what is the basis?" The saint is the Son of Heaven, since he asked about the ministers, but he already believes in this nonsense? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has meritorious service to the country, is benevolent and wise, virtuous and filial, this matter is known to the world, and I hope that the saint will not believe in slanderous rumors, mislead the country and himself! ”

In the face of such a question, the prime ministers' answer is nothing more than this, and Princess Taiping has long expected it. Li Dan confirmed his sister's conjecture at this time, and remembered what Yao Yuanchong and Song Jing had promised him before, and his heart became uneasy.

I think that Prince Zhang Huai was given to death after being deposed by A-Niang to other places? If Da Lang really goes to other places, will he really have a way to live?

He didn't want to abolish Li Longji, after all, such a unity of monarchs and ministers is the premise of national peace and security, which is nothing bad for Datang. His requirements are already very low now, and he just wants to find a stable home for Li Chengqi. But just a few days later, he heard the sorcerer say, "Within five days, there will be an army in the palace!"

This scared Li Dan out of a cold sweat.

Don't...... It was Saburo who saw that he not only ignored Taiping's past suspicions, but also began to favor her, and asked such a question about doubting the prince, he felt wronged, so he ...... directly

It's not completely impossible, there is such a thing as a coup, this son is much more familiar than himself. The coup d'état is also the most direct, convenient, and effective thing, as long as he is not afraid of the name of unfilial piety, he can rely on the coup d'état to directly ascend to the throne!

How can this be born...... Li Dan thought about it and decided to ask the prime ministers' opinions - Taiping basically didn't need to ask, he must be the first to strike.

But he always felt that something was wrong, and although he didn't like the prime ministers very much, he was still willing to trust them, although he had expected the answer.

On this day, the reaction of the prime ministers was beyond his expectations. They didn't get angry, they didn't have suspicions, they didn't refute, and they didn't blame the matter for peace. All of them were calm, like a deep lake.

The hall was quiet for a long time, and Li Dan couldn't help but say, "Ladies and gentlemen...... Don't have any ideas? ”

Yao Yuanchong, as the chief prime minister, took the lead and said: "I don't know if the sage believes in this matter?" ”

Li Dan thought about it, and had to say honestly: "I believe it, and I don't believe it." ”

Song Jing raised his eyes and glanced at Li Dan at this time, and said, "Please make it clear to the sage." ”

Li Dan sighed: "I believe it because I'm afraid, if this soldier is San Lang's, I really don't dare to imagine what kind of ending Da Lang will end." I don't believe it, it's because ...... I have posthumously crowned Saburo's biological mother as the queen, Saburo's position as the crown prince has been secured, he was so forbearant before, and now there is no reason to put a hat of unfilial piety on himself. But if it weren't for San Lang, then who would have sent this soldier into the palace? Don't say it's Taiping, she's a princess, even if she can put herself on the throne for a while, how long can she last? Such a thing that does not outweigh the losses, Taiping will not do it. ”

As an emperor, Li Dan has never been so honest with his courtiers. The prime ministers were also very emotional, and what they said was a lot more realistic.

Wei Anshi said: "The saint didn't think about it, did the warlock lie to you?" ”

Li Dan said: "...... Does he have the guts? ”

"He doesn't, but some people do."

"It's all said that it's not a peaceful ......"

"Even if it is the matter of sending troops, it does not necessarily have nothing to do with the princess of Zhenguo." Zhang, who had just taken office recently and had not spoken much, said, "If the saint doesn't believe it, he can give it a try." ”

Li Dan said: "...... How to try? ”

"Please ask the saint to order the prince to supervise the country, and everything will be clear."

If what the warlock said is true, and the soldiers are sent by the prince, then the prince is just because he was too aggrieved and desperate before, and finally he can't bear it. As long as the saint gave him the right to speak right, and made him feel that he still had hope, he would give up the army in order to prevent the world from saying that he was not filial. If the soldiers are sent by the princess of Zhenguo, it will be easier to do, since you already know about this matter today, of course you have to take precautions, after all, the princess of Zhenguo is only a princess, and the army that can be sent is only her own guards.

If what the sorcerer said is false, then after five days, the saint will understand everything. And once the power is handed over, it is not so easy to get it back, and if the saint can't give a reasonable reason, he won't want to take away the power that is not too much.

- Zhang said that he clearly supported Li Longji, how the country is, wait until His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne.

Zhang said what he thought in his heart, and Li Dan basically thought of it, and this method is indeed comprehensive. It's just that...... Although he is reluctant to be the emperor, at the moment, he cannot just hand over his authority.

Song Jing said coldly at this time: "Whether what the warlock said is 'true' or false, it is definitely not the will of heaven. ”

It's not providence, it's man's sake. The little warlock is not so ambitious, nor is he so bold, and everyone knows who else can do this kind of thing now.

Li Dan didn't think of this place first, but after this reminder, he originally had some guilt about Princess Taiping, and gradually suppressed it.

There was no need to measure it anymore, so he said directly: "Proposed edict: Take the King of Song as the history of the Tongzhou Assassin, the King of Feng as the history of the Pigzhou Assassin, the left Yulin general Qi Wang as the prince's left guard rate, the right Yulin general Xue Wang as the prince's right guard rate, and the princess of Zhenguo...... Moved to Puzhou for resettlement. ”
