Han Tongwen does not have any good impression of the second prince, and there is no qualified prince in the entire Tang Dynasty except for Li Hong, which is also the one thing that Li An is most worried about, and it is also the reason why Li Ang wants Han Tongwen to take over as the mountain chief. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info whether it is Li Xian or Li Zhe, both of them are not enough to convince the public in terms of prestige and talent, if the two of them ascend the throne, it will definitely cause some turmoil in the court, and he Li An is old and can no longer have the energy to lead the army to help the king like back then, so he can only entrust Han Tongwen, so he gave him the order of King An together.

When he returned to Hanye Village, Han Tongwen found Ji Ruopu again, he had a broad vision, but Ji Ruopu was good at calculating Han Tongwen was ashamed, and he really needed Ji Ruopu's help in some things.

"Did the second prince find you?" asked Ji Ruopu.

"It's Wang Muyue, the Wang family has taken refuge in the second prince, this woman who wants to be the queen, but I don't know that her ambition is useless"

"Why do you refuse, I was worried that the prince's body would not be able to hold on until he ascended the throne, and sure enough, I was hit by you, I lost the bet" Ji Ruopu smiled "But now these two princes are wooing you, why do you refuse, although he is worse than Li Hong, but he is also stronger than Li Zhe"

"Better than Li Zhe? I don't see it."

"The third prince is addicted to wine, and he will be impeached by the court every day, is the second prince not as good as the third prince?"

"Li Xian is a mediocre person on the outside, but he is ruthless on the inside, and even his wife and children can be a killer, I don't think he can be an emperor with such a person"

"What did you say?" Ji Ruopu said in surprise

"You wait for me"

Han Tongwen took out a jade pendant from the bedroom and handed it to Ji Ruopu, Ji Ruopu looked at this jade pendant and saw that it was a ring dragon match, which was a jade pendant that only the prince was qualified to wear.

"When I was digging earthworms on the west mountain of Chang'an, I accidentally met a few Yulin soldiers chasing and killing a palace e, and before Gong E died, I told me that the murderer was the second prince, the reason was that he was pregnant with the second prince's child, and at that time the second prince was accepting a side concubine, if it was rumored that the maidservant was pregnant, it would not be good for his reputation. Even his own flesh and blood can be handled, such a person has made him powerful, and he doesn't know how many angry things he will do as an emperor. And after that, I inquired privately, and these Yulin soldiers were either drunk and fell into the river and drowned, or they were killed in violation of military law. ”

"And if you push forward according to the time when Gong'e was pregnant, do you know when it was?"

"When!"

"Your Majesty's Sacrifice to the Heavens"

"It seems that these two princes are indeed not a Ming monarch, and in the two months before and after His Majesty's sacrifice to the sky, hundreds of officials are not only not allowed to have banquets, but they are not even allowed to have sex. "Worshipping the heavens and honoring the ancestors is the most important festival, and every official will fast during these two months, but as a prince, he dares to be so romantic.

"If this matter spreads, the imperial history platform will definitely impeach the second prince for ignoring the etiquette and law, and even his own flesh and blood can be handled, such a person let him get the power to be the emperor I don't know how many angry things he will do, and then I inquired privately, these Yulin soldiers were either drunk and fell into the river and drowned, or they were killed for violating military law, and I was willing to keep this matter secret for him, which is enough to give him face. ”

"If what you say is true, then this Li Xian really can't be an emperor. But Li Zhe is not much stronger than his brother, do you want to choose Li Zhe?" asked Ji Ruopu.

"I'm in a mess in my head right now, I need to sort it out, you can help me come up with ideas" Ji Ruopu and Han Tongwen are naturally people in the same boat, and Han Tongwen has nothing to hide from him.

Li Xian and Wang Muyue in the second prince's mansion are also discussing, Li Xian has been peeping at the position of the prince for many years, and now he has finally endured the fact that the prince is about to die of illness, and now he is in charge of the country, how can he not be ecstatic when he sees that he is about to get out.

"Mu Yue, look at this prince now has the right to supervise the country, and the position of the crown prince is already within reach" Li Xian laughed

"Second prince, please be cautious" Li Xian's recent performance is indeed a little too proud and even a little arrogant, Wang Muyue is very worried

"What is there to be cautious about, this is the residence of this prince"

"Your Highness, do you know what the result of seeing Han Tongwen was today?"

"Yes, yes, didn't you go to win over Han Tongwen? I heard that Uncle Li Anhuang and his father value him very much. ”

"Didn't get it, he said he still needs to think about it"

"Consider, wait for the price to sell, hmph, when the prince ascends the throne, he just wants to take refuge in me, don't want it," Li Xian said.

"If you can win him, it will definitely be a great help for you"

"As long as the prince dies, my father has no other choice but to be the prince," Li Xian said proudly.

Wang Muyue sighed a little disappointed, "Second prince, Han Tongwen gave you a few suggestions"

"Oh?

"The first is to let you not get carried away, although you are in charge of the country, but you are only a name, it is Your Majesty and the Empress Wu who want to test whether you are a suitable candidate for the crown prince. After all, now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still alive and the Third Prince is also there, you are only the one who has the most hope of winning the crown prince's position among them, but if you continue to indulge like this, I am afraid that it will be a little inappropriate to anger Your Majesty."

"Li Zhe, that waste doesn't know how many times he has to be scolded in the court every day, why is he fighting with me?"

"Second prince, if you really have such an arrogant character, then our Wang family has seen the wrong person"

Seeing that Wang Muyue seemed to be angry, Li Xian hurriedly softened his tone, "Okay, I can't change it, I'll listen to you"

"Really?" Wang Muyue's youngest daughter's posture made Li Xianchun's heart even more moved

"Of course it's true, can't you believe me?

"Second prince, don't worry, let the second prince become the crown prince when I marry you"

There were still many people in the court who noticed that the wind was not in the right direction, especially those officials who had no backing came to surrender to the second prince, but they were all stopped outside the door and didn't even see the second prince in person.

Wang Muyue now admires Han Tongwen's wisdom more and more, these officials who came to show their loyalty are all people who have no big power in the court, none of the bigwigs who hold the important positions of the six ministries and the three provinces have come, and Xu Jingzong, the most powerful assistant of the Empress Wu, is also secretly observing the movements of the second prince and reporting to the Empress Wu at any time. Not only did there be no loss when he was closed, but he earned a good reputation for the second prince.

This time Li Zhiwu went to Luoyang by boat, Li Zhi and Wu Hou stood on the boat and looked at the scenery on both sides of the strait, and Li Hong also came to the bow of the ship with the support of Yuan Xiu.

"Erchen has seen his father, the emperor has seen his mother" Li Hong's face was pale, and he and Yuan Xiu saluted Empress Li Zhiwu.

"Hong'er, you haven't come out to play in Chang'an for too long, this time I will take you to see Luoyang flowers blooming"

"Let my father bother"

"How do you look at the scenery on both sides of the strait," Li Zhi was full of spirits and pointed out the country.

Li Hong saw that the people on both sides of the river greeted each other, and now the weather is sunny and sunny, the river surface is sparkling, and the Milky Way is surrounded by green trees for dozens of miles, which is really pleasing to the eye. Then there are the shouts of all kinds of vendors, the sound of laughter not far away, and the endless prosperity of three or four sturdy bare-bottomed children swimming in the canal.

Li Hong said with a rare rosy smile on his face, "No wonder my father and queen mother like to patrol the divine capital Luoyang, Chang'an is prosperous because it is the imperial capital of my Tang Dynasty, and there is an endless stream of merchants on both sides of the strait, and the prosperity here is the real prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the prosperity of my Tang Dynasty."

"Yes, although I suffer from eye disease and can't see clearly, I can hear the voices of this prosperous world, and these voices are the sounds that I can never get used to, and every time I go to Luoyang, I feel much better," Li Zhi said.

Emperor Wuhou, the crown prince and the crown princess enjoyed the scenery next to the river bank together, and there was a lot of laughter along the way, and there was still some distance from Luoyang. When night fell, Li Hong insisted on coming out to take a look at both sides of the canal, despite Yuanxiu's resistance. There is no hustle and bustle in the daytime, the porter pauses his busyness and enjoys the peace of the night, the boatman lies in the boat and drinks a few sips of bad wine in exchange, the night sky is dotted with stars, the candles on both sides of the strait are lit, there is no curfew in the city except Chang'an, and now you can hear the lively sound in the city from afar.

"Xiu'er, I'm afraid I won't be able to stick to the day when I become the emperor," Li Hong said a little disheartened.

"How come, you are the prince of my Tang Dynasty, who can compete with you for this position"

"Even if no one fights, I won't live that day, I'm sorry, I can't give you the position of queen you want, don't you regret marrying me now" Li Zhi looked at Yuan Xiu's beautiful face and asked

"How come, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is empathetic and broad-minded, and Yuan Xiu being able to marry the Prince is the greatest blessing in my life"

"But I'm willing, I've lived for so many years and I've been working hard to be the emperor, and now my position as the crown prince is very secure, but I have to leave early because of this illness. I am attached to prosperity, I am attached to Datang, I am attached to you... cough cough "Li Hong coughed violently, and his weak body seemed to fall down at any time.

"Prince, don't say it, let's go back and rest"

"No, I want to say, I have been preparing for so many years to learn the strategy of governing the country, and my father trusts the courtiers to respect, but there is no place for this talent to be displayed, God, how unfair you are" Li Hong spurted out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the boat gang.
