Chapter Seventy-Eight: Orphan (I)
Pei Min was heavy in his heart, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
What I had been worried about finally didn't happen.
Li Heng, a high-IQ sinkhole, once again succeeded in passing by the position of the crown prince.
But looking at Li Longji on the dragon chair, Pei Min was not happy at all.
Pei Min does not have the foolishness of the ancients, but he has unique human feelings.
Li Longji is not a high-ranking king in Pei Min's heart, but his benefactor, boss, and even friend.
Just like the college students who came out of school in later generations, they met a good company with a convincing boss who took care of themselves.
Do what you like, work hard for the future of the company, and the boss gives strong trust and support in the back. In their free time, the two have a drink together and chat......
This is almost the most ideal life for normal people in later generations to enter society.
Pei Min didn't have the opportunity to experience it, but he achieved all this in ancient times.
Li Longji gave him support, so that he could let go and play his ability, and in his free time, he called Liyuan to have fun together.
Li Longji in the pear orchard has no identity at all.
For more than ten years, Pei Min has lived a particularly comfortable and contented life.
Now that I see Li Longji arranging the aftermath, I have mixed feelings in my heart.
"Your Majesty!"
The civil and military officials couldn't help it, and they were already crying.
Li Longji has a mixed reputation in history, and when he put Li Heng under house arrest, there was no one to support him. And now his performance in the past 20 years on the throne is impeccable, even if it is compared with the top emperors of the Chinese Dynasty such as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, it is not inferior.
In the hearts of many civil and military people, Li Longji at this moment is a master worth following.
The ancients have always put loyalty in the first place, and the Ming Jun in their hearts is entrusted with the future, and the vast majority of people have revealed their true feelings.
Of course, there are also some people who are deliberately contrived and intend to express themselves.
After reading his will, Colliers withdrew.
"Da Lang, San Lang!"
Li Longji suddenly called Li Cong and Li Heng on the left and right.
Li Cong reacted quickly and stepped forward to obey orders.
Li Heng hadn't eased his breath yet, and his mind was still thinking, "Why?" "Why don't you choose him?" "I'm better yet!"
"Saburo?"
Until Li Longji called out again.
When the eyes of the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty fell on Li Heng, Li Heng reacted.
Between the lightning and flint, Li Heng cried out with a "wow" from his heart, and cried: "The child is reluctant to father the emperor!" ”
His reaction was not unpleasant.
This cry directly concealed his embarrassing situation.
Seeing that Li Heng was almost lost in grief, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty secretly praised in their hearts: "The loyal king is really a filial son!" ”
Only a few people like Li Longji and Gao Lishi understand the reason.
Li Longji didn't poke it either, and said: "You have more than 20 brothers, and among the princes, Dalang and San Lang are the eldest, and they are also the most sensible. After I am gone, you will be a father as a brother and Shiro will be a prince, and you will put state affairs first. I hope that you can do your duty as a brother, and take good care of your brothers just like King Ning and King Shen in the past. ”
Li Cong didn't think much about it, as an elder, he was a dead man, and he was destined to lose the throne, as the eldest brother, it was also his duty to take care of his younger brother, and he promised without hesitation.
Li Heng's face was even paler.
He completely understood the meaning behind Li Longji's words.
As a father, Li Longji cares about his children, and it is also a matter of course.
But this is a temple court, this kind of thing can be said in private, and it is a matter of one sentence.
Li Longji deliberately called their brothers here, just to let them fulfill their brotherly obligations, which was completely unnecessary, and he also took King Ning and King Shen as examples.
What are the most commendable deeds of King Ning and King Shen in their lives?
Abdicate!
King Ning and King Shen, as the eldest and second, the first and second heirs of the crown prince, they gave up the position of crown prince to Li Longji, who was ranked third.
What does this mean?
Li Heng clearly understands that his father wants to fundamentally cut off his path to the throne, and it has been broken.
Li Heng's heart was like ashes.
Li Longji didn't care about Li Heng's thoughts, he knew his son's temperament, and only by cutting off all his retreats could he cut off his unreliable ambitions. Ordinary verbal persuasion is meaningless.
Li Cong is the eldest brother, and his promise also means that he agreed instead of Li Heng.
Above the temple, Li Heng had no chance or possibility to reply, so he could only move to the side like a piece of wood, looking at all this without a god.
"Pei Qing!" Li Longji suddenly screamed.
The atmosphere of the temple suddenly froze.
Pei Min walked out with heavy steps.
In an instant, all the eyes of the civil and military officials and everyone focused on him.
The eyes were full of naked envy, and it was impossible to hide it......
Li Longji is arranging the aftermath of the funeral, and it is obvious that the crown prince Li Yan is not enough to block the side at present, and it is inevitable to arrange the auxiliary minister.
There is no doubt that the first person to be called will be the core of the Auxiliary Minister, and the highest-ranking being.
Just like Zhuge Liang at the beginning, Liu Bei Yiling was defeated and retired to Yong'an, knowing that his time was short, he ordered someone to recruit Zhuge Liang.
If Zhuge Liang doesn't come, Liu Bei won't do the thing of entrusting orphans.
Who is respected is a major matter that has a bearing on the fate and future of the entire country.
Li Longji was the first to call Pei Min, and his intention was obvious.
"The minister is here!"
Pei Min was a little sad, and his voice was low.
"Excuse me!" Li Longji chuckled: "You and I have been friends for nearly twenty years!" ”
Pei Min said bitterly: "The minister entered Beijing at the age of seventeen, and he is thirty-seven this year, less than twenty years!" ”
"Yes! At that time, I had only heard your name, but I didn't have a chance...... No......" He suddenly laughed: "Twenty years ago, I saw you, but you didn't see me. I wanted to invite you to the boat for a meeting, but I was surrounded by my aunt's eyeliner, and I didn't act rashly. I have a very good impression of you, and I have long been willing to take it for my own use. Looking back now, it shows that my vision is still not bad. My Datang is as prosperous as it is today, and Aiqing should be the first to take the lead. ”
Hearing Li Longji talk about the past, Pei Min said even more bitterly: "Your Majesty is virtuous and holy, and the ministers dare not take credit." ”
Li Longji looked at Pei Min, who was in the prime of life, and he was also a little envious in his heart, but at this point, instead of crying and waiting to die, it was better to look away in the name of the whole body, and pretended to smile calmly: "If you don't dare, there is no one else who is doing it." He said this, with a solemn face: "Pei Min, the king of Wuwei County, has both wisdom and bravery, has the talent and strategy of Taigongwang, and is also the great virtue of Zhou Gongdan, and he is specially awarded Aiqing as Shangshu Ling." Prince Yan is young and difficult to take on the big responsibility, I entrust the prince to Aiqing, hoping that Aiqing will be like the prince and the prince of Zhou, assist the prince, and protect me in the Tang Dynasty! ”
