"Your Majesty, slow down!"

Just as Li Longji waved the pen in his hand and was about to write the edict of abdication, Prime Minister Wei Jian shook his hand in horror.

This old guy has been waiting to see if anyone is against it, but what he didn't expect was that even people like Niu Monk and Yu were just trying to dissuade him, and in fact, he didn't really oppose Li Longji's abdication.

"Aiqing, why did you stop me?"

In fact, at this time, Li Longji's heart was also extremely reluctant. It's a little unwilling to give up the emperor's throne to this kid so easily. It's not that he covets this position, it's just that as a man, if Chang'an was broken by the Tang Dynasty like this, if he didn't take revenge on himself, he would be very unhappy after all.

What he has always wanted in his heart is to take revenge first, re-stabilize the situation in the world, and then pass on the position of the Son of Heaven to Li Heng, in fact, he has been the emperor of the Tang Dynasty for nearly fifty years, and he is indeed a little tired. If you compare the five dynasties at the end of the Tang Dynasty, he can be regarded as an old goblin-like emperor. The time he reigned alone was actually comparable to the sum of the reigns of all emperors in the five dynasties.

Of course, an emperor like Li Longji, who has been in power for a long time, takes being an emperor for granted. There's no guarantee that he won't continue to do it until he dies. The crown prince Li Heng also understands his father's heart, so he is on the table at this time.

Is this son of a scumbag so unaware of his own heart?

Scolding and scolding, after all, he still knows that the Tang Dynasty court at this time can no longer withstand a rebellion like Dong Zhuo, and if he does not handle it properly, he will destroy the foundation of Taizu Taizong, and in the eyes of the ancestors, he is a sinner through the ages.

"Back to Your Majesty. This must not be done. Think about it, now that the prince only has 400,000 troops in his hands, he has already dared to threaten his father to abdicate, and Weichen knows that you are in the prince's position, and this matter is justified, but what worries Weichen is that once the prince is officially called the emperor, the officials and generals of the world will no longer take His Majesty seriously. When the time comes, His Majesty's current situation, it is inevitable that he will not go to Lingwu to be the emperor, and it is inevitable to stay in Shuzhong, try to ask the emperor, with this amount of troops under our hands now, and there are no generals like Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, when the time comes, once An Lushan or the Tang Dynasty sends a brigade to attack Your Majesty, it is bound to be extremely dangerous. After Wei Jian finished speaking, he fell to the ground and cried, "Your Majesty." The minister swore allegiance to the emperor, and if the prince knew these words, he would definitely kill me. Your Majesty, you have been wise, what kind of danger can not be passed? Like Wu Sansi, Shangguan Wan'er, and Princess Taiping, as long as they are against you, they will all die in your hands one by one. Tang Dynasty ru stinky child, Your Majesty, you were careless for a while, so you were conspired by him. Ma Wei's danger didn't scare you, what the hell is wrong with you now? You must know that once you become the emperor, not only will you not have the dignity of the emperor in the future, but you may not even be able to save your life. ”

Li Longji stopped writing, and the expression on his face became more and more solemn.

Of course, he thought about what Wei Jian said. However, after Wei Jian's reminder, he fell into contemplation again.

"Love, you are my minister, I know you are loyal. In your opinion, Li Heng would not have sent someone to ask for my life? ”

Weichen didn't dare to speak. The emperor asks for forgiveness. ”

"Good. I forgive you for the sin of vain. Then tell me, will Li Heng send someone to ask for my life? ”

At this time, beside Li Longji, in addition to Niu Monk and Ru, there were several generals, all of whom had recently joined him as martial arts masters. Wei Jian's whole body trembled, looked around, and motioned to Li Longji if he should talk to him alone about this matter that was enough to change the pattern of the world.

But at this time, Li Longji suddenly smiled slightly: "These are all loyal ministers of my court, Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt for you to say it." ”

"Your Majesty, please take a look."

Seeing that things had come to this point, Wei Jian finally took out a letter and presented it with both hands.

Li Longji didn't answer, just looked at Wei Jian's face.

"Returning to the emperor, Weichen risked death to persuade him. If Your Majesty once the throne is passed, then my Tang Dynasty will be in danger. You'll definitely reconsider it after reading it. ”

Only then did Li Longji take out the letter, which had been sealed with paint, and the fire mark on it was not damaged at all, obviously this letter had not even been read by Wei Jian himself.

The letter was torn open, and big characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing appeared in Li Longji's field of vision.

"Tang Dynasty. This is a letter from Tang Dynasty children to Aiqing. ”

"Not bad. Your Majesty, that's exactly the case. ”

In Li Longji's heart, there was a feeling of helplessness and even despair in an instant, although the letter in front of him was only a letter, but it showed the superb skill of the person who wrote the letter.

Flowing water.

Objectively speaking, the words on the letter in his hand have not reached the highest level, but in Li Longji's eyes, these words reveal an ethereal taste.

The person who wrote this letter cherished ink like gold, and did not even have a trace of superfluous strokes, but he still expressed his meaning with great precision.

Seeing the words on this letter, you can imagine that the writer must be a simple person, and the simplicity is applied to every stroke, which is introverted but clever.

The content of the letter is very small, and it is very clear, Li Longji quickly read it, and saw that the payment on the envelope was actually six words: "Not a talented Tang Dynasty".

Wei Jian had been paying attention to the expression on the emperor's face, and saw that he seemed to be clenching his teeth in pain at this time, and very slowly, very slowly handed the letter into Wei Jian's hand.

When Wei Jian saw it, he was dumbfounded, and his voice trembled again: "Your Majesty." The Tang Dynasty was bluffing. ”

The content of the letter is simple and clear: in the middle of the half month, he will personally lead his soldiers to hunt in Shu with Li Longji again.

This is obviously a war letter, but why didn't it be directly delivered to the Chinese army, but handed it over to Wei Jian.

"I don't care if it's true or not. But the Tang Dynasty has always wanted to kill me, and this strategy has never changed. What I can't understand is, how can this letter be in your hands? ”

"Your Majesty. Weichen didn't have anything unusual before he went to bed last night, but this morning, this letter appeared in my bed. If it weren't for the sudden situation here in Your Majesty, Wei Chen would have already handed over this letter to Your Majesty. ”

"Okay, I see. That is, last night, someone sneaked into your bedroom? ”

"I think so, Your Majesty. The old minister is in his old age, and it is not a pity to die, but my sword gate is heavily guarded, and tens of thousands of troops are stationed, even with the martial arts of the Tang Dynasty, it is not difficult for him to kill me, but to come in so quietly, I think it is also very difficult. ”

"Not bad. Wei Xiangye is reasonable. ”

Niu Shengyu also agreed with him, and several courtiers echoed in unison.

"You mean to say that in our army, there are spies sent by the traitors of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Your Majesty! This is an obvious fact, the two countries are at war, even if they issue a war letter, they can be open, why be so sneaky, and in the opinion of the ministers, this envelope has the seal of the jade seal of the pseudo-dynasty, which is likely to come from the hand of this little boy in the Tang Dynasty. Why would he do such a dramatic thing at this juncture? ”

"Wrong!" Li Longji made a judgment, "The traitor of the Tang Dynasty has always been cunning in doing things, and he will not expose him as a spy in our army unless there is a special time." It seems that he is reminding me, think about it, what is the purpose of this traitor? ”

"Your Majesty. According to the minister's opinion, this traitor is playing tricks, and the result he hopes for most now must be that His Majesty will sabotage it because of the prince's request to be the emperor, and he wants His Majesty and the prince to confront each other, and he will profit from it when the time comes. Besides, this is just a letter, I don't know if it was written by the Tang Dynasty, don't fall for the enemy's counter-plot. ”

Laughed. Li Longji smiled: "Wei Aiqing, if you give the letter to Niu Aiqing, there will be no mistake, this must be a handwritten letter from the Tang Dynasty." Except for this traitor in the world, no one has this internal strength. ”

Niu Monk and Child took a look, and immediately showed a shocked expression: "The emperor's judgment is right. This letter was indeed written by the traitor himself, what did he want to do? ”

"Return to the Emperor. If it is indeed the letter written by this traitor, it must be to blame Weichen, so that Your Majesty will have the illusion that Weichen is a spy in order to confuse the public. ”

"It's possible." Li Longji bowed, but he immediately shook his head: "Tang Dynasty obviously knows that Wei Aiqing is the most trustworthy person I trust, so it is impossible for him to be so stupid. In my opinion, he is warning me that once I cede the throne, he will send troops to attack Jianmen Pass first and kill me directly. ”

"This traitor is so vicious!" Niu Monk and Ru gritted his teeth and scolded, but in his heart, he secretly screamed, this kid is getting more and more powerful now, in this way, Li Longji is bound to take care of his own safety, and will not pass the throne of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty to the hands of the prince as soon as possible.

If this is the case, the contradiction between Li Longji's father and son will deepen, and civil strife in the Tang Dynasty will be inevitable. He can naturally deploy his troops as soon as possible at this time, and maybe he will really attack Jianmen Pass again and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

In fact, people who understand a little bit know that after the chaos in the Tang Dynasty, the vitality was greatly damaged, and it could no longer withstand the big toss, and if it was agreed to the prince's request, it would be the wisest choice.

But wisdom is wise, once even his own safety cannot be guaranteed, even a person like Li Longji has fear in his heart. What he knew was that perhaps after an edict of abdication, he would lose not only the throne, but also his dignity and life. Wei Jian is right, he can't let this stinky boy succeed, he has to send someone to Lingwu to stabilize the prince.

"Wei Jian listened."

"The minister is here."

"You and Li Hetian rushed to the Lingwu Army overnight to promulgate my edict, remember, you must persuade the prince with good words, and there must be no mistakes."

At that moment, he wrote an edict. Of course, the general idea is that the emperor will be passed on to the crown prince, but he needs to prove his ability, and it is clearly written in the edict: once the rebellion in the world is put down, he will be allowed to ascend the throne immediately.

Of course he wouldn't give up his throne as emperor so quickly!
