Chapter 673: Triumphal Ceremony
When Li Yong walked into the room, Li Lizhen and Li Xueyan, Zheng Liwan, Wu Shun, and Wu Cao and the rest of the women came out of the inner room.
"What are you two whispering?"
Li Yong asked with a smile, in fact, he was quite curious, thinking that even if the two of them had some private whispers to say, they only needed to send the maids out, and they didn't have to let Cuimo and Yingluo, the two big girls in the same room, guard the door, Princess Changle didn't continue, glanced at Yingluo and Cuimo and asked.
"You two will continue to keep watch, and no one will be allowed to come in."
Cuimo and Yingluo hurriedly responded, they didn't know what the princess and the other ladies were talking about, they were also a little curious, what was the important thing to let the two of them guard the door, for guarding the door, the two of them had no complaints, after all, the princess let the two of them guard the door, it means that they don't shy away from them, but they don't want others to hear, Li Yong sat down on the soft collapse, Chunlan hurriedly got up to serve tea, Li Yong took the tea and drank two sips, then asked with a smile.
"What's the matter, mysterious?"
Zheng Liwan smiled sweetly.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that I've been watching my grandfather's actions these days, and I'm so puzzled, so I'm going to find my sister to solve my doubts."
Hearing this, Li Yong had already roughly understood, shook his head and smiled.
"You ghost!"
But thinking of Zheng Liwan's identity, he was relieved again, if other women were not very concerned about the affairs of the court, but Zheng Liwan and Wu Cao would have a lot of ideas even if they didn't deliberately care, Li Lizhi said seriously.
"Liwan and Cao'er Bingxue are smart, Lang Jun, there is some truth in what they said, the fourth brother really wants to put the eldest brother to death, Lang Jun exonerates the eldest brother in order not to make the queen mother sad, the fourth brother probably has resentment, of course, this is also a helpless thing, however, even if the fourth brother has some mustard in his heart, it can always be resolved after a long time, and the fourth brother will also understand Lang Jun's distress, but in the past few days, the fourth brother has given you invitations one after another, why did you refuse? The fourth brother is about to enter the East Palace, and it's not wrong for you to have a good relationship with him! Besides, you are his brother-in-law, and if you get closer to him, your father and mother will not say anything, but you refused, the fourth brother already had a grudge against you, and now I am afraid that my prejudice against you will be deeper. ”
Wu Cao couldn't help but say.
"Now the saint and the queen are still there, of course it's okay, after that, the king of Wei will inherit the unification after all, even if the princess and the king of Wei have a deep brother and sister relationship, but they will ...... after all"
Li Yong understands the worries in their hearts, if they don't tell them, I'm afraid that they won't be able to sleep because they are worried, and he can still trust Changle and Li Xueyan, Zheng Liwan, Wu Shun, and Wu Cao, if he can't even believe the people next to him, then life will inevitably be too boring, Li Yong said with a smile.
"I understand what you're saying!"
Li Lizhen, Li Xueyan, Zheng Liwan, Wu Shun, and Wu Cao couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this.
"Since you understand, why are you still so reluctant to give the fourth brother affection?"
Li Yong said with a smile.
"Are you sure that it must be King Wei who enters the East Palace?"
Li Lizhen, Li Xueyan, Zheng Liwan, Wu Shun, and Wu Cao were all stunned when they heard this, who else could it be if it wasn't King Wei who entered the East Palace? Zheng Liwan and Wu Cao started thinking quickly, and Wu Cao said softly.
"Could it be that Lang Jun thinks it will be Li Ke, the third son of the emperor?"
"Third brother?"
Li Lizhi was stunned at first, and then shook her head decisively.
"Impossible!"
Although Li Ke is her brother, of course, Li Tai, who is still a fellow mother, is closer, so of course, she is more supportive of Li Tai's entry into the East Palace, and she feels that Lang Jun cannot support Li Ke, after all, Lang Jun is her concubine, of course, he is also closer to Li Tai, and there is also a queen mother, Li Yong smiled and shook his head.
"Li Ke? How could it be Li Ke? ”
Li Lizhen and Li Xueyan, Zheng Liwan, Wu Shun, and Wu Cao are even more confused, if it is not Li Tai or Li Ke, who else will it be? Li Lizhi pouted.
"Lang Jun just tell us, don't sell Guanzi anymore!"
Li Yong put down the teacup in his hand indifferently and smiled slightly.
"The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty thought that it must be Li Tai who entered the East Palace, but they forgot that the queen mother gave birth to three princes!"
The queen mother gave birth to three princes? Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Zhi!
"Pheasant slave?"
"King Jin?"
Zheng Liwan and Wu Cao glanced at each other, and exclaimed at the same time, Li Yong nodded with a smile.
"Yes, I think it should be Li Zhi, the king of Jin, who enters the East Palace!"
Zheng Liwan and Wu Cao's faces were a little strange, and Li Lizhi was the same, a little unbelievable.
"Impossible, right? The pheasant slave is still a little kid, how can he be the prince? ”
Zheng Liwan and Wu Cao also nodded.
"Yes, the King of Jin is still young and has no foundation in the court, how can a saint make him the crown prince?"
Li Yong stretched out two fingers and said in a deep voice.
"What foundation is not the foundation, it doesn't matter in front of the sage, I think the king of Jin will be made the prince, there are two main points, first, the sage is a loving father, even Li Chengqian conspired against him and didn't want Li Chengqian to die, and set Li Tai as the prince, Li Chengqian forced to die, if other princes are set up as princes, Li Chengqian, Li Tai, Li Zhi will all die, only by establishing Li Zhi as the prince, everyone can be saved, with Li Chengqian's rebellion in front, Li Tai is now jumping up and down to seek the prince, the sage looks at it inevitably cold, and Li Zhi is talented and smart and has a generous personality, is indeed a suitable candidate for the crown prince, second, Li Zhi is still young, which is an advantage. Because the sage is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, since ancient times, the prince has been very difficult to do, very tormented, if Li Tai is established as the prince, twenty years, thirty years, how old will he be by then, to say something unpleasant, can he wait? Therefore, all the officials in the DPRK and China are optimistic about Li Tai, but I am optimistic about Li Zhi alone! ”
The more Zheng Liwan and Wu Cao listened, the brighter their big eyes became, because after listening to Li Yong's words, they suddenly had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, yes! The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are optimistic about Li Tai, presumably even Li Tai himself feels that he will definitely be able to enter the East Palace, but after listening to Li Yong's analysis, they suddenly feel that it is all appearances, Li Tai is impossible to enter the East Palace at all, the more active they are, the more impossible it is, at this moment they look at Li Yong's eyes full of admiration! Li Yong is really amazing! And the hearts of the women are full of heat, because compared to Li Tai, Li Zhi and Li Yong, Li Lizhi have a more intimate relationship, all along, Li Yong has been unapologetic to Li Chengqian and Li Tai, but only to the Jin King Li Zhi is very good, and the Jin King Li Zhi is also full of affection and admiration for Li Yong, so, for their Li family, Li Zhi's entry into the East Palace is of course the best result, thinking of this, Zheng Liwan suddenly thought of a question, Li Yong has always been to Li Chengqian and Li Tai, without pretense, Why is it very good to Li Zhi? Could it be that Li Yong had already decided that Li Chengqian would rebel and Li Zhi would enter the East Palace? However, Zheng Liwan immediately shook her head again, who can even calculate this, unless it is an immortal, or is Li Chengqian's rebellion also fueled by Li Yong? Anyway, thinking that Li Yong is so powerful, she trembles a little in her heart, she admires it too much! Li Lizhen was also stunned there, if Li Yong said that Li Ke would enter the East Palace, then of course she would be dissatisfied, and even try to stop it, there was no room for retreat in this matter, their brothers and sisters and the queen mother would definitely join forces to deal with Li Ke, however, Li Yong said that it was Li Zhi who would enter the East Palace, Li Lizhi couldn't help but be a little surprised when she heard it, even if it was a brother and sister of the same mother, it was also close to each other, compared to the two brothers, the relationship between Princess Changle and Li Zhi was more intimate, because the two brothers were several years older than her, One entered the East Palace early, and the other opened the palace early, the relationship between brother and sister is of course very close, but after all, there is little time to get along, and Li Zhi is different, Li Zhi was born when she was already old, and after all, the queen mother commands the harem Sometimes it is very busy, almost all of her is playing with her younger brothers and sisters, quite a bit of an eldest sister like a mother, the relationship between sisters and brothers is naturally close, and people are selfish, so if she chooses one from Li Tai and Li Zhi to be the prince, of course she is more looking forward to Li Zhi, but she never thought about it before, After all, Li Zhi is still young, and he is still with the queen mother, and the ministers in the court did not notice him, but after listening to Li Yong's explanation, she felt that it was very reasonable, thinking about it this way, it seems that Li Zhi is the most suitable candidate for the prince, after thinking about it, Li Lizhen and Li Xueyan, Zheng Liwan, Wu Shun, and Wu Cao couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.
"Thinking about it like this, it seems that the fourth brother is quite pitiful!"
Li Yong shrugged slightly.
"In the past few days, the King of Wei has really floated, and the army will return to Chang'an soon, and it is estimated that the King of Wei is mobilizing his ministers to ask for the crown prince at that time!"
Wu Cao was surprised when he heard this.
"That's too much of a hurry, isn't it? Li Chengqian has just been deposed, and His Majesty and the queen's mood have not yet recovered, what does King Wei think about the saint and the queen? ”
After finishing speaking, Wu Cao couldn't help but shake her head and laugh, she could imagine Li Tai's smug and impatient mood at this moment, but when she thought of what was going to happen later, she suddenly felt that Li Tai was a little pitiful, Li Lizhi tilted her head slightly, and said with some imagination.
"I never thought that the pheasant slave could be the prince, only such a big little child, and sometimes he has a runny nose, who would have thought that he would be the prince!"
For a while, Zheng Liwan and Wu Cao were also a little stunned, although Li Zhi was already a prince, but there was really no prince in Lijiazhuang, always followed Li Yong with little short legs, in Li Yong's school before, she even knocked Li Zhi's head, that little kid was going to be a prince! After all, Li Zhi has been living in the deep palace, living under the wings of Empress Changsun, and rarely appears in the eyes of the ministers of the court, so no one has noticed him until now, Li Zhi, who is the third son of Empress Changsun, has no sense of existence, Wang Qingyun is quite drunk, but there is a bit of pride in his eyes, and he smiled.
"The army is about to return to the division, the sage must be happy, the king of Wei has decided to mobilize the ministers to write to ask for the crown prince, this time the ministers who promised to write are really a big view, such a powerful letter, Your Majesty will definitely take advantage of the situation to establish the prince!"
Wang Jiu'er frowned slightly when she heard this.
"That's too much of a hurry, isn't it? Li Chengqian has just been deposed, and the emperor and empress must still be in a state of sadness, so asking for a crown prince at this time may backfire and make the emperor feel disgusted. ”
Wang Qingyun shook his head when he heard this.
"Now the saint may be sad in his heart, but when the army triumphs and the whole world celebrates, the saint may not be sad in his heart, take a step back, even if the saint is in a bad mood, it is a matter of course to make the king of Wei the crown prince after all, and the saint can only agree to push the boat down the river, because, the saint has no other choice, and these days, the king of Wei has given Li Yong an invitation to inherit the invitation, which has been ignored by Li Yong, and the king of Wei has no longer given Li Yong an invitation.
Wang Jiu'er said softly.
"These days, I've been thinking about it, listing all the princes and analyzing them one by one, but I really found a possibility."
Wang Qingyun asked suspiciously.
"What is possible?"
Wang Jiu'er said softly.
"The queen's third son, King Li Zhi of Jin!"
Wang Qingyun couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head and said.
"How old is King Jin? How is it possible to be made a prince? I think the possibility of King Wu being higher than King Jin is even higher. ”
Wang Jiu'er groaned.
"Of course, the voice of King Wei is higher, but maybe Li Yong is more optimistic about King Jin, and the relationship between King Jin and Li Yong and Princess Changle is closer."
Wang Qingyun shook his head and said.
"That can only say that Li Yong is too whimsical! The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty supported the King of Wei, how could the emperor make the King of Jin the crown prince? If the King of Jin were to be seven or eight years older, it would still be possible to compete with the King of Wei, but now, it can be said that the King of Jin is completely uncompetitive, and even the King of Jin himself may not have the idea of competing for the crown prince. ”
Wang Jiu'er couldn't help but be silent when she heard it, she only found a trace of possibility, but the possibility is too low, if Li Yong really wants to support Li Zhi, then it can only be said that Li Yong will definitely hit a wall, thinking of this, she suddenly wants to see Li Yong, give Li Yong a wake-up call, the emperor took Li Yong and others to leave the army and rode back to Chang'an, and now the army has finally returned to Chang'an, the last time the emperor returned to Chang'an because of the hurry, so the Ministry of Rites did not have time to arrange the triumphal ceremony, this time it can finally be made up, Even though it has been a long time since the defeat of Goguryeo, the return of the army to Chang'an still ignited the enthusiasm of the people, because this time it was not only the army that went out to Chang'an, but also the officials and families of Goguryeo, the grand triumphal hall, the grand reward, and the sacrifice to the heavens and ancestors, the entire court was busy going around, such a lively atmosphere also washed away the tension and haze of Chang'an City, Li Yong, as the first hero of the Eastern Expedition, naturally could not hide in the house to enjoy leisure, the entire ceremony and the back of the worship of the sky, ancestor Li Yong participated, And it has attracted much attention, and it is inevitable to meet Li Tai, but Li Tai can't say anything to him, maybe Li Tai doesn't want to say anything to him anymore.
