The dinner held by Li Yingqi for the Tang Dynasty envoys was very grand, because Li Xuan's performance was terrible and there were no highlights at all, and Han Cangshui did not play the responsibility of the main envoy, so during the banquet, Li Yingqi publicly expressed his dissatisfaction and severely criticized Li Xuan.

"It's all this waste, I lost a city's taxes, if you give more strength, I don't have to give Sun Mo so much. ”

Li Yingqi asked Li Xuan to think about it behind closed doors for a year, and at the same time praised Li Ziqi and Sun Mo, and rewarded a lot of money and official positions.

However, the most enviable thing is that Li Yingqi canonized Sun Mo as the lord of Jinling City, and as long as he does not commit the great crime of rebellion and rebellion in the future, he can be pardoned, and at the same time allow him to own one-tenth of the taxes paid by the city to the state treasury.

This is Jinling, not to mention in Datang, it is in Kyushu, which is a top city, rich, fashionable, and luxurious!

Being able to become the lord of the city is definitely a dream that many people dream of.

But those high-ranking officials smelled something strange from it.

In the past, the owner of Jinling was Prince Li Zixing, and the taxes collected basically went into his treasury, and the state couldn't get much.

Li Yingqi arranged Li Xiu's fief in Jinling, just to push her out and fight with Li Wangye, and later, the eldest princess won, and the taxes paid to the treasury were more, but Li Yingqi always felt that she was greedy for some ink.

Li Xiu is talented, not inferior to men, if he is in power, he will definitely have the posture of a prime minister, and Li Yingqi is not very relieved to put him in a place like Jinling.

Now, Li Xiu and Sun Mo are so close, coupled with Li Ziqi's relationship, to be honest, Li Yingqi is a little nervous.

This force is enough to influence the government and threaten his throne.

How interesting it is to be an emperor, so Li Yingqi was afraid of being forced to abdicate, so he came up with a trick to give Jinling to Sun Mo.

Not only does he seem to be more generous than King Qi, but he can also provoke the relationship between Li Xiu and Sun Mo and make them antagonistic.

"Sun Mo and Li Xiu will definitely beat out all the dog's brains for the ownership of Jinling, haha, I'm really a genius!"

A famous teacher of unparalleled genius?

A talented eldest princess?

I'm sorry, you're all my pawns!

After sending Sun Mo away, Li Yingqi began a life of drunken dreams again.

"The most hated enemy of life is dead, it's really lonely as snow!"

Li Yingqi drank fine wine and enjoyed singing and dancing.

These show girls are selected from among unmarried girls under the age of 16 across the country, and they are as attractive as unbloomed purses.

Compared to King Qi, who likes to be older than him, Li Yingqi loves girls alone, he has read from an ancient book that sleeping with a girl every day can make him energetic.

In the past, the spokesmen repeatedly admonished them for this, but after Li Yingqi killed six people with a cane in one breath, no one talked nonsense anymore.

"Haha, it's a good dance, but it's even better to take off the palace skirt!"

Li Yingqi drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, got up and walked quickly, and walked to the stage: "The widow is here to dress you widely!"

The show girls immediately pretended to be panicked, as if they were frightened rabbits, avoiding Li Yingqi.

The musicians are not surprised, this is all a fixed drama.

Li Yingqi chased the girls, like butterflies in the flowers, touching this and kissing that, but suddenly, he stumbled under his feet, fell to the ground, and then convulsed.

"Your Majesty!"

The female eunuchs knelt down in unison, their faces were as frightened as earth, and they saw that the emperor was foaming at the mouth, and the feces and urine were flowing together, wetting the dragon robe.

The news of the emperor's stroke soon spread throughout the palace, and then it was blocked and strictly forbidden to discuss.

Li Yingqi's father and mother are dead, so in this palace, he is supreme, and he can't move with a stroke, and the second noble person is Li Xuan.

The current queen is not Li Xuan's biological mother, and she is not good at palace fighting, and she has been eating fasting and chanting Buddha, so she has no authority.

When Li Xuan, who had been thinking about it in the imperial palace, heard the news, he was first surprised, and then panicked, he didn't dare to stay for a moment, and went straight to the dormitory.

Li Xuan inquired in detail about Li Yingqi's illness, and after kneeling in front of the bed for a few minutes, he was called out by Han Cangshui.

"Xuan'er, what are you going to do?"

Han Cangshui asked, his eyes paying attention to his surroundings.

"Filial piety in front of my father's bed and pray for my father!"

Li Xuan's answer was decent, which naturally made Han Cangshui even more disappointed.

"Stupid!"

Han Cangshui was angry: "Are you a royal child? Have you ever learned the emperor's mental technique? There will always be only one person who can sit on this imperial throne." ”

"Huh?"

Li Xuan was terrified when he heard this.

"Whether Your Majesty can wake up, whether there are any sequelae after waking up, this is something worth thinking about, and even if he wakes up, there is no major problem, so what?"

Han Cangshui stared at Li Xuan: "The country can't be without a king for a day, can't you temporarily take care of the government?"

“......”

Poof!

Li Xuan's heart was beating fast, and sweat was oozing from his forehead, he wanted to sit in that position, but after thinking about it for a few minutes, he still shook his head.

What if it fails?

"Rubbish!"

Han Cangshui couldn't stand it anymore: "You are benevolent and can't bear to take the throne, but your sister, don't forget, your performance in the Five Kingdoms Debate this time is extremely bad, and Li Ziqi is extremely good, plus Li Xiu's support, do you think you can still ascend the throne as the emperor?"

"No...... Wouldn't it?"

Li Xuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Even if I want to ascend the throne, those ministers, I'm afraid they won't agree!"

"You are stupid, is your princeling a showman? Let the ministers who support you write to you, and as for the neutral ministers, you should go and visit them in person now, and hint at the promise of benefits. ”

Han Cangshui was speechless.

"This ...... Isn't it too much to despise yourself?"

Li Xuan didn't want to go, he felt that he was the crown prince, and there was no need to be so low-voiced.

Syllable!

Han Cangshui couldn't stand it, and slapped Li Xuan directly in the face.

"As long as they ascend to the throne of God in the future, they will all kneel before you, whether they are alive or dead, or are they not at your kneading? Besides, this is called Corporal Lixian! Do you understand?"

Han Cangshui roared: "Go quickly, something happened, I'll take care of it for you." ”

Li Xuan gritted his teeth and let go.

Because he can also feel that his aunt and Ziqi are very close, in case they join forces to fight for the throne, he is really not enough for them to fight.

The princelings became active, and Li Xuan kept visiting the old and loyal ministers.

Li Yingqi suddenly suffered a stroke, everyone did not suspect that it was man-made, first of all, the doctors with superb medical skills in the Tai Hospital have been examined, and moreover, although Li Yingqi is not a faint gentleman, but he is lustful by nature, no woman is unhappy, when he first ascended the throne, he had to be drafted every year.

Li Yingqi has a lot of sons, but most of them are mediocre, not as good as Li Xuan, plus Li Xuan has been the prince for ten years after all, and has a certain popularity and foundation, so when he ran around, many people decided to support him.

Li Xuan saw that the momentum was getting better, and he was getting closer and closer to the throne, and he gradually swelled up, and occasionally in private, he even regarded himself as me.

This advantage was maintained until Li Xiu and Li Ziqi arrived in Chang'an, and they began to be contained, and even took a turn for the worse.

"Why is this happening?"

Li Xuan panicked, because when he went to the ministers again, they would either pretend to be sick or perfunctory.

This bodes badly.

Because Li Ziqi is a princess, she is not qualified to be the emperor, but now, there are ministers who support her.

......

When Han Cangshui came to the Taigong Palace and found Li Xuan, he found that this guy was drinking and was already drunk.

"What are you doing?"

Han Cangshui was very angry, at this critical moment, you actually got drunk?

"Auntie, she persuaded me to take the initiative to give up the throne for the sake of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Xuan cried, he respected Li Xiu very much, but today Li Xiu broke his heart.

"You promised?"

Han Cangshui's eyes narrowed.

"Isn't it useful if I don't agree? Auntie has a lot of influence in the court!"

Li Xuan felt that he couldn't win.

"If you don't even dare to fight, you've already lost!"

Han Cangshui encouraged.

"Your Highness, Zheng Qingfang is here?"

The eunuch knocked on the door and gave a farewell.

"Grandpa Zheng is here?"

Li Xuan's expression was overjoyed: "Teacher, I'll go see Grandpa Zheng first, if he supports me, then I'm not afraid of Aunt Xiu!"

Zheng Qingfang, as a veteran of the Three Dynasties, has a huge influence.

Seeing Zheng Qingfang in the living room, Li Xuan hurriedly greeted him, not giving him a chance to salute: "Grandpa Zheng, my father is critically ill, you should hurry back to the court to preside over the overall situation, right?"

"Without you, Datang can't do it!"

Li Xuan would still say this kind of beautiful words, and directly put on a high hat for Zheng Qingfang first.

Zheng Qingfang didn't get praised for two sentences, he felt fluttering, and after he insisted on finishing the salute, he persuaded bitterly: "Your Highness, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, please give way to Princess Ziqi!"

"What?"

Li Xuan was stunned, and felt like falling into an ice cave for a moment, if even Zheng Qingfang supported Li Ziqi, would he still win with his head?

"Grandpa Zheng, why is this?"

Li Xuan was anxious: "Is there anything I am dissatisfied with?"

“......”

Zheng Qingfang smiled bitterly, if there was no comparison of Li Ziqi, Li Xuan would actually be okay.

To be honest, the patriarchal Zheng Qingfang didn't really want to support Li Ziqi's accession to the throne, after all, in the history of the Tang Dynasty, there had never been a female emperor, but Ziqi was too good, and she also had Sun Mo as a teacher.

Before he came to see the prince, Li Xiu looked for him and openly stated that he wanted to support Li Ziqi to win the heir.

What does this mean?

Even if Li Xuan ascends to the throne, it is useless, Li Xiu can launch a coup d'état, coupled with Sun Mo's influence in the world of famous teachers, even if Li Xuan cannot be overturned, it can also bring heavy damage to Datang.

"Your Highness, why don't you let Ziqi try it first? If she doesn't do well, you will succeed to the throne?"

Zheng Qingfang proposed.

"Can the emperor try it too?"

Li Xuan sneered, whoever sits on it will not take the initiative to come down.

The conversation between the two people broke up unhappily.

When Han Cangshui saw Li Xuan coming back, with a dead father's expression, he knew that nothing was good.

"Teacher, that old ghost of Zheng Qingfang also fell to Li Ziqi!"

Li Xuan was very painful: "Our winning margin is too small. ”

"You want to give up?"

Han Cang asked.

"What can I do?"

Li Xuan was very helpless, and the two most influential people in the lobby, Li Xiu and Zheng Qingfang, were on Li Ziqi's side.

"You can only strike first!"

Han Cangshui also knew that he couldn't win with simple competition, so he could only play a black hand and kill them.
