The news that the Tang Dynasty was proclaimed emperor in Chang'an and the capital of Chang'an soon reached the ears of the crown prince Li Heng.

He was furious, but he couldn't help but stir in his heart: An Lushan had already been proclaimed emperor in Luoyang, and now this kid in the Tang Dynasty was proclaimed emperor in Chang'an, and his own son Li Longji was as timid as a mouse, and he had been cowering in Chengdu, but he was given a chance.

Obviously, as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, the crown prince, and the natural heir of Li Longji, he can't wait to get Li Longji's emperor.

Although Li Qi, the king of Sheng, is now dead, Li Lin, the king of Yong, is a new threat. This kid stayed by his father's side day and night, and according to the news passed back by Xizuo, he was saying bad things about himself, don't re-establish the Tang Dynasty when the time comes, but marry someone else. Therefore, during this period of time, he kept sending people to Li Longji, asking him to give up the position.

Unexpectedly, the reply book was not able to reach his hands for a long time.

So he was a little afraid, my father didn't reply to my book so many times, it seems that he wanted to deal with me?

Everything that people have—money, power, beauty, fame, and so on—comes from fear.

Because of fear, some people even did not hesitate to kill, and Li Heng began to kill people.

In fact, he didn't start killing after the table, but before.

He knows better than anyone who his father is. Empress Wei and Princess Taiping back then, these were all real strong women, but they didn't die under his hands one by one. The skill of this man's methods did make him fearful.

But now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once missed, the throne of the Tang Dynasty may not fall into his hands, and most of them will be taken by Li Lin beside him.

The emperor's mind, that is goodness becomes very. Including his feelings for Yang Yuhuan.

He always thought that his Lao Tzu did everything possible to snatch her from his hands, and he must cherish her more than he cherished his own life. But unexpectedly, when he was in Ma Weiyi, he abandoned this woman who had followed him for nearly twenty years.

He knows that I hate him, and he has always been on guard against me, if the world is decided again, will he let me go?

Maybe.

But I survived until I was in my forties, and now I can finally be independent, why do I have to look at his face?

Finally, Li Heng made up his mind: I didn't do this kind of thing alone, Emperor Taizong had done it in Xuanwumen back then.

He knew that the intention of asking Li Longji to abdicate was no different from threatening him to abdicate, but he had to do it!

He knew that because of the defeat of the Sword Gate, his Lao Tzu was already very dissatisfied with him.

In fact, he received Li Longji's edict for help at that time, but he did not send capable generals such as Guo Ziyi to rescue, but just bluffed to send Niu monks and children to lead 20,000 troops to the rescue, but the army was slow on the road, and when he arrived, the Tang Dynasty had already defeated Li Longji and returned to Chang'an to claim the emperor.

As a result, although Niu Shengyu was scolded by Li Longji, he was still left by Li Longji and became his right and left hand.

As a result, generals like Bugu Huaien and Wang Sili defected to Li Heng's army, which made his strength soar.

With enough troops, Li Heng was not afraid of anything, and once again sent Li Liangsheng, a horse from Hotan County, to bring his own handwritten letter to the Jianmen Pass army. This time, Li Heng's wording was already very tough, including this sentence: "Father Emperor Shengjian, Fang is in the situation today, my father is seriously injured and needs to be cultivated, and he is old, the thief chief An Lushan and the Tang Dynasty have successively called the emperor, and in the Central Plains, if the child does not inherit the throne, the name will be lost, which is not conducive to the cause of restoring the country." If the father and emperor read the difficulties of Gaozu and Taizong's entrepreneurship, and pass it on to the child, there will be the fact of the emperor externally, and the ministers can also be restrained internally, so as to restore the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible and return my old capital. ”

Li Liangsheng, a horse from Hotan County, took the book to the Jianmen Pass Army in the starry night and presented it to Li Longji.

At that time, Li Longji was not accustomed to water and soil, and had contracted rheumatism, and he was indeed not young, and he was riddled with diseases, especially the place where his broken arm was painful like bone marrow every day, and he reluctantly met Li Hetian.

After reading the book, Li Longji suddenly jumped up from the collapse and tore the letter into the snow.

He had been lying on the floor all the time.

"Seed! Bringing it up at such a time! He still has me as the emperor in his eyes, does he have me, Lao Tzu? This miscellaneous, isn't this obviously 'coercing' me to abdicate? ”

After scolding, he immediately coughed, and after a long time, Concubine Lan beat him for a long time, and he only got a little better, but his face was still blood-red: "This evil seed!" He's trying to rebel, isn't he? Where is Hetian? ”

"The minister is here." At this time, Li Hetian was already so frightened that his teeth chattered.

He also knew that this time he came to deliver the letter was a life of death, he was Li Heng's most trustworthy person, and Li Longji would inevitably not kill people under his anger, but he had his own plans.

"You go back and tell him. This time, I didn't write back to the book, just said that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty would be his sooner or later, and told him not to worry, to deploy troops to quell the rebellion, and if he succeeds in quelling the rebellion, then I will immediately pass the throne to him. If he sends someone to mention this matter in three days, I will immediately appoint another prince and transfer him to me, and I will teach him well. ”

"Yes! Your Majesty, however, Weichen thinks that it is very inappropriate for Your Majesty to do this! ”

"What are you? He actually said such a thing to me, someone is coming. Drag me out and replay fifty boards so that he can have a longer memory. This time, Li Hetian was immediately set up and beaten fifty times in front of many of Li Longji's personal soldiers. Only to hit this man bared his teeth and almost passed out.

Niu Monk shouted: "This is the end of disrespect to the emperor!" Let me tell you, today, only our emperor is the only emperor, and the others are all chaotic ministers and thieves, and none of them will end well in the future. ”

"Lord Hui, what I, Weichen is going to say next, in fact, it is not Weichen who wants to say this, but the prince has repeatedly told him to say this."

"What?" Li Longji was a little surprised, it seems that Li Heng, this kid, was premeditated.

With a wave of his hand: "Say, what does he want you to say?" ”

He asked Weichen to tell the emperor that he now has an army of 400,000 in his hands, and there are many generals under him, all of whom are extremely brave, and the most important thing is that they all listen to him alone. Your Majesty, when Weichen was leaving, the prince explained like this. ”

"Seed! He is going to kill his father and the king, who lent him the courage? ”

Li Longji never thought that the prince, who had always been extremely respectful and weak to himself, would actually say such a thing. It seems that maybe I have always mistaken him and neglected him too much.

"Your Majesty is angry. The prince also told him again and again at that time. As long as his father agrees to abdicate, he can respect His Majesty as the 'Emperor Taishang', and all military and political power is still in the hands of Your Majesty. ”

"Oh." Li Longji's hanging heart landed temporarily, this kid still has a little conscience. But he knows how to advance and retreat, and he knows that with his own talent, it is not enough to control the whole world, but he is afraid that I will set up another prince, so he is in danger, and he can't be blamed completely. Moreover, the fact that the Eternal King has always been by my side will inevitably make him suspicious.

"Humph! He's going to calculate. Did he say anything else? ”

"Back to Your Majesty. The prince repeatedly told him that if Your Majesty killed Weichen in anger, if you were lucky enough not to die, you should tell Your Majesty that once Your Majesty really wants to set up another prince, then the prince will have to set himself up as the emperor. Your Majesty probably also knows that most of the officials in the court are willing to follow the crown prince, and more importantly, the prince has an army of 400,000 under his command. The generals of these armies all swore allegiance to the crown prince. At that time, even without Your Majesty's edict, the crown prince can still establish himself as emperor. When the time comes, Your Majesty will not be able to clean up? ”

"Damn! Evil animals! How dare you say such a rebellious thing? ”

Even if Li Longji tried his best to endure it, there were still green tendons on his forehead, which stimulated his temples to be hot, and he had an urge to kill immediately.

Truly. He had considered all the possibilities, but the only thing he hadn't considered was that Li Heng dared to force him to abdicate.

This kid's character has always been cowardly, and he can be said to be extremely respectful to himself. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have made him the crown prince at the beginning. This kid is willing to dedicate himself to even the woman he loves, and at a glance he is a bad breed, a bear, not like a man.

He also valued this guy's timidity and deference, but he never imagined that at his most critical moment, the person he thought was the most reliable would dare to betray him.

Damn, he thought that after the book was not accurate, this kid would die of this heart, but he didn't expect this kid to be so ignorant of the overall situation, so he chose to make a fortune at this time. But what should be done?

Walk like the wind.

Li Longji ran like the wind in the tent, and in an instant, he had dozens of ideas. Will he immediately pass on the world and abolish his position as crown prince or promise him?

"Someone! Escort him down and put him in a dungeon, and keep him on guard. ”

"Yes!" His own soldiers quickly rushed out, tied Li Hetian firmly with ox tendons, and then led him into the dungeon.

"Your Majesty. This is a big deal. It is related to the country's social welfare, and it is not advisable to be impulsive and hasty, so please calm your mind first. ”

"It doesn't matter! In my life, I have never seen any strong winds and langs. I'm at peace now, but I'd like to hear what you think. ”

"Back to Your Majesty! The crown prince is your own flesh and blood, it is your own crown prince, and he wants to ascend the throne ahead of schedule now, which is no different from rebellion. Your Majesty must not be appeased, but can immediately spread a message to the world, abolish the crown prince, and appoint another prince. Without further ado, late will change. ”

"Not bad! This kid respects me as the emperor and coerces me to abdicate. If I depose him immediately, of course he won't be able to make a big difference. The purpose of striking this kid is definitely achievable, but maybe there are still variables, you say? ”

"Return to the emperor." Niu Monk and Child's voice trembled a little when he spoke.

Of course, he knew that this was about the abolition of the country, and if he said it wrong, he might be killed in the future: "The crown prince Li Heng personally trained in Lingwu, and most of the generals such as Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Bu Gu Huaien, Yu Chaoen, Gao Xianzhi, etc. Maybe the variable that the emperor is talking about is what he is referring to. However, with the hope of His Majesty, and now that we have soldiers and generals, most ministers and generals will support Your Majesty. Therefore, if His Majesty sends a decree to abolish the crown prince, then he is destined not to succeed. However, there are some things that the minister does not dare to say. ”

"I'll let you say it all."

"Yes, Your Majesty! Weichen felt that His Majesty could subdue the prince by spreading the word to the world, but the risk was very great. If the Tang Dynasty or An Lushan intervenes in this matter again, or if there are careerists like Wu Sansi and Princess Taiping in my court, the situation will be really unpredictable. ”

"You're telling the truth. Once I spread the word to the world and abolish the crown prince, I can certainly kill this stupid boy, but maybe my Tang Dynasty will really end up from now on, and I will cheapen the Tang Dynasty and An Lushan and other chaotic ministers and thieves in vain. I've been an emperor for so many decades, and I'm really tired of it, so let this kid do it! ”

Suddenly, Li Longji's face was wrinkled a lot, and he shouted helplessly and painfully: "Shangmobao!" ”
