In the fourth year of Jinglong in the Tang Dynasty, on the second day of the sixth month, Li Xian, the son of heaven, collapsed violently, and it was for Zhongzong.

On the third day of the sixth month, Empress Wei ordered the government soldiers to enter the city.

On the fourth day of the sixth month, Empress Wei announced the death of Li Xian to the world, announced the edict and became the regent of the dynasty, changed the Yuan to Tanglong, and granted amnesty to the world. On the same day, Li Dan, the king of Jinxiang, was appointed as the Taiwei, and Li Shouli, the king of Yong, was renamed the king of Feng, and Li Chengqi, the king of Shouchun, was the king of Song.

In the first year of Tang Dynasty, on the seventh day of June, Li Chongmao, who was only 16 years old, ascended the throne and honored Empress Wei as the queen mother.

The soldiers outside the palace had no intention of evacuating, and even Li Dan couldn't even enter the palace to thank the empress dowager, let alone send a trace of news to the palace officials and slaves. Thinking of this, Li Dan couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, and a self-deprecating smile flashed on his tranquil face - even the government soldiers at the door of his house couldn't be deterred, what kind of first-class lieutenant was it?

The news inside can't be delivered, but the news outside can be delivered all the time. His seventh brother really went, and he went so suddenly, he was afraid that Queen Wei would ...... Oh no, Empress Dowager Wei was also in a hurry for a while at first, but with the assistance of Shangguan Wan'er and Zong Chuke and others, it is also going smoothly now. It's only been a few years, and it's going to change again?

Datang ...... Is it really exhaustive?

Li Dan was pacing in the study, and he didn't even have the heart to play the pipa anymore, so he heard the little guy knock on the door and said, "Ah Lang, the government soldiers let in a person." ”

Li Dan was suddenly taken aback - in the past few days, even the food and clothing of the Prime Minister's Mansion have to be reported to the government soldiers, and then the government soldiers have bought it and sent it in, and the internal and external blockades are everywhere, but today he is willing to let in a living person? Presumably it was Empress Dowager Wei who ordered it to be put in, in order to let him know something clearly......

His heart couldn't help sinking, Li Dan was a little dizzy, and then he was supported by the little guy. Unable to hear the little servant's exclamations of concern, he only looked around the study steadily, starting from the white jade flute on the shelf, to the willow branches in the net bottle, the drums in the corners, the scrolls on the shelves, and the horsewhips hanging on the walls...... A deep mourning slammed into his heart, making him take a few deep breaths before he finally recovered a little, and gritted his teeth in a dumb voice: "Let, he, come in, come." ”

The little guy hurriedly responded and said hurriedly: "Don't come in yet!" ”

The man was outside the study? Li Dan immediately put aside the small house, turned around to look, and saw a slender young man walking into the room with the light on his back. At first, he couldn't see the young man's appearance clearly, but he felt that this upright figure was quite familiar, and when the young man walked in front of him a few times and saluted, his eyes widened: "It's you?!" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan was just waiting outside the study when he heard some sounds coming from the study, including the exclamation of the little maid. She was curious about what was going on inside, and when she came in, she also paid a little attention to Li Dan's expression. For Li Dan's reaction, she was a little confused, and she also felt inexplicable, thinking that just by her own identity, she would never let the dignified king be like this, then it should be because of the sudden change of this government soldier.

Yes...... It turned out that he regarded himself as a henchman of the Empress Dowager Wei, and he was not allowed to enter or leave the Prime Minister's Mansion these days, but today he let himself in, he must have thought that he was not at ease.

Thinking of Li Dan's strong and serious reaction, Xiao Jiangyuan understood. Seeing that the drum was lying in the corner of the study, although it was a corner, it was still in the place where she could see it when she raised her eyes, she smiled slightly, and thought about whether to go back and tell Ah Lang about it, but she said: "It is the slave Xiao Jiangyuan." ”

The more Zheng Xiao Jiangyuan's manners became, the more heavy Li Dan's expression became, and the tranquility on weekdays had long since disappeared, he only looked coldly at the smiling little eunuch in front of him, and his back became colder and colder: "What are you doing here?" ”

Seeing that Li Dan didn't even want to be polite, so straight to the point, Xiao Jiangyuan felt even more funny, but he didn't plan to let him go like this. In the past, when Emperor Wu entered Shangyang Palace in his later years, although he was still pure filial piety, he was really not very good to her current Ah Lang. So, Xiao Jiangyuan didn't say anything with a smile, and only turned his eyes to look at the little guy who was holding Li Dan.

"Stand down." Li Dan is not a fool, so he naturally knows what Xiao Jiangyuan means.

The little guy was already a little worried, but when he saw Xiao Jiangyuan stepping forward to take over for him, he refused to let go. Seeing that in the Prime Minister's Mansion, even Li Dan's most personal, the most faceful, and the little guy who has seen the most in the world is like a great enemy, Xiao Jiangyuan sighed and said, "The slave maid came here just to see if the Prime Minister is okay, since the Prime Minister's complexion is ...... Not bad, the slave and maid retired. ”

Saying that, when he turned around and was about to leave, Li Dan immediately pushed the little guy and pointed at Xiao Jiangyuan: "You stop me!" ”

The little guy crawled and retreated, and did not forget to close the door of the study, and Xiao Jiangyuan also stood up obediently.

was so forbearant in the past, but now she has to lose her temper, this look is really similar to her family Ah Lang, worthy of being father and son. Xiao Jiangyuan thought about it secretly and said with a smile: "What is the matter with King Xiang calling slaves?" ”

"You ......" Li Dan slowed down and regained some of his usual calm and solemn appearance, "You are not here today to see me, and to speak up, I listen." ”

"If the slave and maid said that the slave and maid did not lie, and came here just to see if the king was okay, would the king believe it?"

“…… Did the Queen Mother send you? "Didn't you say that Xiao Jiangyuan was missing, Li Bao'er was still looking for it in Chang'an

At this time, if Xiao Jiangyuan still wanted to tease Li Dan, it would be difficult to come back later and regain Li Dan's trust, so although she was a little unsatisfied in her heart, she still smiled a little, and bowed respectfully again: "It was my family Ah Lang who sent a slave to come." ”

"Your family, Ah Lang?"

"My family Ah Lang is the third son of King Xiang, the king of Linzi."

"Nonsense!" Li Dan's eyebrows revealed a hint of anger again.

"King Xiang must have heard that since the Shangyuan Festival, Xiao Nei in Daming Palace has disappeared, and Princess An Le has also searched for it in Chang'an City, making people turn their backs."

"I've heard of it."

"In that case, how can the slave be the queen mother's person?"

"How could it not? You are the eyeliner of the Queen Mother, sent to my son's side, in order to use my son as a threat today to force me to comply? The Queen Mother is really good-hearted, she has already arranged it, and she doesn't even want to tell her own daughter, it seems that the collapse of the first emperor has nothing to do with her......"

Listening to the words, the more biased they became, but they also made sense inexplicably, Xiao Jiangyuan couldn't cry or laugh a little: "The new emperor has ascended the throne, Empress Wei has become the queen mother, and there is not even a word about the king in the edict, and the king is now even in the hands of the queen mother, what else is worth forcing the queen mother to comply?" ”

It's not a nice word, but it's true. Li Dan himself also knew that Wei Shi only needed to hold him as a person and this life, and nothing else could ask for him. After all, the Li Tang clan is now looking at their own horses, if they are here, the Li Tang clan will not dare to act rashly, if they die, they will dare to make a big mess. When the time comes, in the name of saving the country, they will turn a stable Tang Dynasty into a world of great contention, how can she, the queen mother, sit firmly and for a long time?

Webster was also too anxious, if she had gone through the process safely, things would not have turned out like this.

The foundation is not stable, so you have to look at Shu, and you still want to be on a par with A-Niang, which is really ridiculous. What if she is in a big position now, she has already taken a wrong step, no matter how she remedies, she can only lose everything, but it is a matter of time.

Webster was anxious, how could he not be himself, otherwise how could Fang Cai say such a righteous word. He thought about it, but he still didn't believe it: "Then you say, how did you get in?" ”

In other words, why is no one in the government soldiers willing to let go, but only you?

Xiao Jiangyuan saw that Li Dan was a little relieved, and sighed with a smile: "Because ...... They know slaves and maids. ”

Xiao Jiangyuan himself didn't expect that the soldiers guarding outside the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time were actually the ones who were guarding in Qianling back then. Of course, Xiao Jiangyuan will never be able to enter with personal feelings alone, but it is precisely because of personal feelings that he can speak, and since he can speak, then things will be easy to do.

These soldiers and horses are also inexplicable and uneasy about the siege of Xiangwang's Mansion, but there is an order from above, and they can only obey it, but now that Xiao Neishou has made such a little move, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that the Queen Mother is wrong, and the first emperor died too suddenly. They couldn't help but think of Empress Zetian back then, and sighed in their hearts, wouldn't it......

If the Queen Mother really has this thought, it would be good if she wins, but if she loses, what good will happen to those who follow her? Back then, the Empress Zetian was so powerful, it wasn't that she would abdicate the throne, but now how long has the queen mother been in office, and the odds of winning are definitely not big. They can't rebel openly, they can only secretly leave a back road for themselves, and Xiao Jiangyuan and the Xiangwang Mansion behind her are that back road.

After listening to Xiao Jiangyuan's story, Li Dan nodded. Thinking of Xiao Jiangyuan, who has never been really loyal to anyone since A-Niang went, Princess Anle dared to offend in person, even his brother's account, she didn't buy it, otherwise she wouldn't have been nameless for two years, and he would have to disappear even when he left the palace, his originally gloomy face eased a lot, but he still said: "If I say, I still don't believe it?" ”

"The slave can only be left to the king." Xiao Jiangyuan thought for a while and said, "King Xiang doesn't believe it and doesn't believe it, can you let the slave and maid get up and talk first, the slave and maid still have something to do, if you kneel on your legs and run errands for Ah Lang later, it will inevitably be dull, if you delay......"

"Get up."

"King Xie Xiang." Xiao Jiangyuan immediately stood up quickly, and he couldn't see the slightest numbness in his legs. Seeing this, Li Dan's calm expression, which had recovered, showed a little waves: "You ......" but saw Xiao Jiangyuan's smile unchanged: "King Xiang has something to ask, the slave must know everything, and the words are endless." ”

Thinking that she had served A-Niang wholeheartedly, Li Dan decided not to worry about her as a kid, so he said, "Da Lang, how are they now?" ”
