[Chapter 5: Entering the East Palace and Inheriting the Mandate of Heaven] (2)
Xiao Jiangyuan has been standing at the door of the hall with his head bowed in an orderly manner.
When Li Dan walked outside the hall, he saw her at a glance. Thinking that everything that happened between their father and son recently fell into Xiao Jiangyuan's eyes, Li Dan only felt extremely uncomfortable. He suddenly thought that he wanted to make Da Lang the crown prince, although under his own promotion, let the Da Lang know early, but Da Lang came to him so quickly, is there any other reason?
This matter is only beneficial to San Lang, and San Lang has been asleep all the time, and Fang Cai's expression is still a little dazed and ignorant, so ...... Is it because of her Xiao Jiangyuan?
For Xiao Jiangyuan, Li Dan never dared to underestimate him. In the past, when Empress Zetian was there, he naturally looked at Empress Zetian's face, and later his status gradually rose, and a five-grade eunuch was no longer in his eyes, but he still couldn't look down on her. He couldn't understand that feeling, and it wasn't until the day of the funeral of Empress Zetian that he heard the eunuch talk about Xiao Jiangyuan's conversation with several emperor's concubines.
Xiao Jiangyuan's ruthless and strong side, how similar is it to A-Niang?
And she has been around A-Niang for a long time, and he has seen it roughly in his eyes step by step, if he says that she has no wisdom and no heart, he doesn't believe it.
She is now serving Saburo as the master, as a minister, it is understandable to do something for Saburo, but it is just ...... If she is suspicious of Da Lang and them, after San Lang becomes the prince in the future, she is afraid that it will not be good.
Li Dan thought like this and slowly walked in front of Xiao Jiangyuan.
As soon as Xiao Jiangyuan saw Xue Baiyun's head, he knew that it was Li Dan who came over. As soon as she saluted, she heard a flat voice above her head: "I can't stand it." ”
Xiao Jiangyuan immediately knelt down, his hands still arched: "The sage said and laughed. ”
"I don't have the time to laugh with you." Li Dan's voice sank, "Restrain yourself, what to say, what to do, A-Niang should have mentioned you when she was there." I can't move others, you are a eunuch, can't I still decide life and death? ”
Xiao Jiangyuan didn't move at all, and immediately responded: "Yes." ”
Seeing Xiao Jiangyuan's response so refreshingly, Li Dan only felt that he had punched the cotton, but after thinking about it, he was now the Son of Heaven after all, and she agreed without saying a word at this time, could it be that she dared to talk back? And for the sake of A-Niang's face, spare her once.
After Li Dan left far away, Xiao Jiangyuan turned around and entered the hall, just as he saw the scene of the five brothers returning to harmony. She watched quietly, the corners of her lips slowly hooked, and her eyebrows were dyed with a bright smile like a peach blossom.
Li Chengqi turned his head at this time and happened to see Xiao Jiangyuan. He nodded, as if to say, are you satisfied now?
Xiao Jiangyuan smiled silently, and only bowed to Li Chengqi from afar.
That night, Li Longji inquired from Li Longye's mouth about everything that happened when he was asleep. Hearing what Xiao Jiangyuan said, his eyes lit up.
"Third brother, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, you go on."
"Then the eldest brother went to the Lizheng Palace, and then it happened after you woke up." Li Longye patted Li Longji's shoulder with a smile, "Third brother, you are really still my third brother!" ”
Li Longji rolled his eyes, his lips were full of smiles, but there was a faint look in his eyes. It didn't take long for him to pick up Xiao Jiangyuan, who was sleeping on the low floor of the compartment not far away because of his insomnia, on the grounds of insomnia, and walked out of the Qianqiu Palace.
There was no one in the shade outside the hall, Li Longji had a gloomy face, and just about to say something, he felt a cool breeze blowing. Seeing Xiao Jiangyuan's whole body tremble slightly, he snorted, and finally took off his robe while sighing, covering Xiao Jiangyuan's body.
"Thank you, Alang." Xiao Jiangyuan really saluted and thanked him in a proper manner, and then said, "I don't know what happened when Ah Lang was in a hurry to find a slave and maid?" ”
"Don't you know what you've done today?" Li Longji said angrily in a low voice, "You are calculating the eldest brother like this and forcing the eldest brother to withdraw from the prince dispute, of course, it is for my good, but do you think the eldest brother can't see through it?" ”
Xiao Jiangyuan said: "King Song not only saw through it, but also knew that these were all slaves and maids making their own opinions, and it was not to blame Ah Lang." ”
He ...... Know? Li Longji's heart was shocked again, and he chuckled, "My big brother...... Is...... I'm fighting for his place, so why should he treat me so far, but make me feel so uncomfortable. ”
"Ah Lang knelt down and had already uncovered everything. In the future, as long as you treat your brothers well, especially the King of Song, you will respect him more than in the past, and Ah Lang's position as the crown prince and even the position of the Son of Heaven will be stable. ”
Li Longji thought for a while and said, "Did you already know that you would be seen through by your eldest brother?" ”
Xiao Jiangyuan bowed his head and said: "Who is King Song, how can he hide from him with his slave and maid carving insect skills?" The slave maid was not persecuting King Song, but telling King Song in another way when it was most appropriate to do some things, and how to do it was not only good for each other, but also best for the court and even the Tang Dynasty. In fact, King Song is a man of great wisdom, and he may have known how to choose, slave or mouthy. ”
"You ......"
"What Ah Lang can't do and can't do, it's naturally up to the slave to do it."
When Li Longji heard this, he felt that there was silence all around. He looked at Xiao Jiangyuan fixedly for a while, and sighed helplessly: "What do you want to do in the future, can you discuss it with me first?" Is what you say reasonable, can I still disobey it? Besides, it's clear that you are taking me as the master, why does it seem that you are my lord now? ”
Xiao Jiangyuan was about to say something, but Li Longji held his hands with one hand. She couldn't help but raise her eyes to look, and saw Li Longji approaching, with an intriguing smile on her lips, her voice was slight and low, with an indescribable aura, like slightly drunk and ambiguous, and finally turned into a sentence: "You haven't married yet, so you dare to be so presumptuous?" ”
Xiao Jiangyuan lowered his eyes: "Ah Lang said that he laughed, the slave maid is a eunuch, or he may marry a wife, but he can't marry someone." After a pause, "The slave and maid should pay attention in the future, and be sure to take Alang Ma as the head of everything." ”
Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan was so serious, Li Longji's smile faded. He recalled the night of his previous proposal, but he was unconsciously led away from the topic by her, and he was really unwilling in his heart, but unfortunately it was not a good time. If he wanted to hit with one blow, he not only had to find another suitable time, but also had to plan well, and he must not let her have any more room to escape.
Two days later, when Li Dan brought up the matter of establishing the prince again, Liu Youqiu stepped forward and said: "The minister heard that those who remove the disasters of the world should enjoy the blessings of the world." The danger of King Ping's salvation of the society, the difficulty of saving the monarch's relatives, no one can compare with the merits, and the virtue is also the most virtuous, the king of Ping is the prince, the world is safe, and the country is undoubted. ”
I thought that the new emperor would have to refute something, and all the ministers were ready to continue to fight, but they didn't want Li Dan to not only respond very happily this time, but also directly asked Liu Youqiu, a member of the Zhongshu House, to draft a book for the establishment of the prince. The ministers looked at each other for a moment, and then they all waved at Li Dan and said, "Sage Shengming! ”
Although Li Dan was helpless, his mood was not very bad, especially after he agreed, when he saw Zhongqing's unexpected appearance.
On June 27, Li Dan, the Son of Heaven, established Li Longji, the king of Ping, as the crown prince. On the same day, the old name of the Great Sage Empress was the Queen of Heaven, and the abolished prince Li Xian was posthumously named the prince of Zhang Huai.
The next day, Li Chengqi, the king of Song, was appointed as the pastor of Yongzhou, the governor of Yangzhou and the prince and prince. On the same day, Xiao Zhizhong was appointed as the Zhongshu Order, Cui Xiang was appointed as the secretary of the ministry, and the Pingzhang of the same Zhongshu was added.
The old era has completely passed, and Li Longji's era is coming soon.
The East Palace is located in the east of the Taiji Palace, and there are two palaces and five halls in it, among which the Mingde Hall is the first main hall.
After the canonization ceremony, Li Longji officially entered the East Palace.
The night sinks like water, and the moon shines like frost. Li Longji stood in front of the Mingde Hall and looked up silently. Xiao Jiangyuan has always been by his side, walking all the way, and has also witnessed everything about Li Longji.
"It's really like a dream...... Li Longji sighed leisurely, "You said, if on the night of the coup, Zhong Shaojing never opened the door, or Ge Fushun failed to kill Wei Bo and Gao Chong, or the ten thousand cavalry soldiers retreated, and the flying cavalry soldiers thought that Ge Fushun and others rebelled and took them in one fell swoop, or after we attacked the Taiji Palace, not only did we not receive any surrenders, but also suffered a strong counterattack from the government soldiers, or the eldest brother did not back down...... As long as one of them changes, I can't get to where I am today. ”
As early as the night of the coup, Li Longji felt that it was very smooth, and it was so smooth that he doubted it. And now that it is clearly over, the dust has settled a little, but he still can't believe it.
At that time, Empress Wei was full of advantages, and he was full of disadvantages in comparison, so he could only rely on surprise and uncertain people's aspirations to fight for a way out. But that night, it was completed so smoothly, with almost no setbacks, not to mention Li Longji, even Xiao Jiangyuan felt incredible.
Li Longji raised his eyes with his back and stared at the plaque of the Mingde Palace, Xiao Jiangyuan was standing beside him, staring sideways at the Ming Lord beside him.
Empress Zetian once said that in the past, Emperor Taizong also liked to look up at things like this, but Emperor Taizong would mostly go to Lingyan Pavilion to see the portraits of heroes. She had also seen Empress Zetian like this, but what Empress Zetian looked up to was often the cloudless blue sky.
She had never seen Emperor Taizong, so she could only see with some regret that the two figures slowly coincided together.
Especially the eyebrows and eyes, even the eyes are very similar.
Xiao Jiangyuan stared deeply like this, and suddenly felt his heart skip a beat.
After being silent for a long time, at this time, I couldn't help but blurt out: "Ah Lang is destined to return, and it should be so." ”
Li Longji was determined, and slowly turned his head: "You ......" said and coughed lightly, thought about it, or pretended to raise his eyebrows arbitrarily, "I finally believe it." ”
Under the moonlight, Xiao Jiangyuan's smile was extraordinarily bright: "Yes, I believe it." ”
Li Longji's expression changed slightly, and he turned to face Xiao Jiangyuan. He looked straight at her, a little incredulous: "Because of me? ”
Xiao Jiangyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's you." ”
Li Longji immediately hugged Xiao Jiangyuan tightly in his arms.
He knew what it meant for Xiao Jiangyuan, who did not understand the relationship between men and women, and respected the righteousness of kings and ministers very much, to say such a thing. He suddenly felt that even if he was angry with this woman one day, it would be worth it to be there today.
But Xiao Jiangyuan said with some hesitation: "I'm afraid...... Happy and sad, after all, in the past few days, Princess Zhenguo has been unable to hold back. ”
