Li Longji understood the meaning of the letter, he was a smart person, and he knew what Li Mao was worried about. He was worried that he might regain the throne when he returned to the capital. Because in terms of prestige, his son is not as high as himself. And his son actually has no real ability, if he really wants to regain the throne, he is definitely not an opponent.

Li Longji was sad and angry, and he hated Li Mao's behavior. But when he returned from his dream in the middle of the night, he asked himself. If he returns to the capital, will he take back the throne from Li Mao? The answer is yes. Because from the very beginning, his decision to abdicate was not voluntary, but forced by the situation. And the fire of his desire for the throne has not stopped. Especially after experiencing his own abdication, the scattered flower building has changed from lively to deserted, like a tomb prepared for himself, which makes Xuanzong feel that the throne is his life. Without the throne, he has been ignored and neglected by everyone, which is difficult for him to accept after a lifetime of dominance.

But now, Li Mao's vague warning has completely shattered his dream, Li Mao said that he will never let people take Chang'an, that is to himself. If he insists on returning to the capital, Li Mao is afraid that he will really turn his face and deny people. Maybe if you step into the capital with your front foot, you will be under house arrest by Li Mao with your back foot. Rather than this, it is better to stay in Chengdu and not think about it. Even if he is not convinced, but now it seems that he is really irrelevant, and he has really been forgotten.

But from another perspective, Mr. Lee, who is experienced in politics, is worried that this matter will be used by others. If someone wants to send him back to Chang'an and let Li Mao do something rebellious, then it will cause an uproar. What if someone uses this matter to fish in troubled waters and achieve some ulterior motives?

In view of this, Li Longji thought a lot and thought deeply. Anyway, there is nothing to do all day long, and the purity helps him think. It can be said that Li Longji has thought about this matter almost thoroughly, and has thought clearly about many stakes. Later, he figured it out thoroughly.

He ordered someone to plant this 'rich and eternal' peony flower in the flower bed under the scattered flowers. Trim and take care of it every day. This peony seems to be quite suitable for the climate of Chengdu, and it has not been damaged by transplantation, but is vigorous and full of vitality. In April, the peony blossoms bloomed, and the enthusiasm of the peony blossomed in full swing, which was better than the bloom in the hundred gardens. Xuanzong sighed in his heart, this may be the will of heaven, this is the will of heaven to die here.

From the beginning of the peony flowering period, every morning, Xuanzong would spend an hour or two by the flower bed. Sometimes catch insects and prune for this bush of peonies. Sometimes they don't do anything but stare at the beautiful flowers. Looking at this delicate flower, he always resounds of the past. At that time, when the peony flowers bloomed every year, I would take everyone to the garden to enjoy the flowers and drink. In the beautiful music of the neon clothes and feather clothes, he took the sisters of the Yang family and the favorite woman in his life to wander in the sea of flowers. Endless laughter, endless happiness, wine, singing and dancing, beauty, power, I still had everything at that time. But after all, everything was like a dreamlike bubble, shattering into pieces and disappearing without a trace.

Although every time Xuanzong cried sadly in front of this peony flower, he felt a lot of feelings, and he would also make his mood gloomy. But he still came to sit by the flower bed every day, because what could he do but these memories? Although the good memories bring me endless sadness, when I recall, at least I can relive the beauty of the past and bring myself some comfort.

Today, Xuanzong sat in front of the flowers and remembered the time when Li Bai entered the palace to compose poems. That Li Taibai was drunk, and forced Gao Lishi to help him take off his boots. Lux almost made himself laugh at that time. This Li Bai is really arrogant, but his poems are really well written. Qingping tunes three poems are graceful and gorgeous, and there are so many people who write poems for the concubine, but these three poems are the best.

As soon as he thought of the Qingping tune, Xuanzong remembered the new song composed by Wang Yuan for the Qingping tune later. This Wang Yuan is also really talented, and Taibai's lyrics are beautiful after he composed the music, which is simply a perfect match. It's a pity that this person is too elusive, and now he has become one of the most feared thorns in Datang's side, and I don't know what will happen in the future. But the music was really well written. Xuanzong thought about this, and his mouth unconsciously hummed the Qingping tune composed by Wang Yuan.

"Clouds want clothes, flowers want to look, and the spring breeze blows Revlon. If it weren't for the jade mountain, I would meet the moon in Yaotai......"

Xuanzong, who was immersed in memories, was suddenly awakened by the footsteps under the corridor, and when he turned his head to look, he saw Zhang Dequan, the personal attendant, hurriedly walking down the corridor. Xuanzong saw that he was walking in a hurry, and hurriedly stood up.

"Emperor Taishang, Emperor Taishang, Wang Yuanwei sees that they are asking to see them outside." Zhang Dequan came to the small wooden pavilion, stepped down from the pavilion, and hurriedly returned without waiting for Xuanzong to ask.

Xuanzong was stunned for a moment, with a nervous expression on his face, and frowned: "Are you talking about Wang Yuan?" ”

"It's Wang Xiangguo." Zhang Dequan said busily.

"Invite them in." Xuanzong said loudly.

The chamberlain was startled, he hadn't seen the Emperor speak so loudly for so many days, and his ears were a little buzzing.

"Obey the order, and the slave and maid will pass it on." The chamberlain turned and left.

"Wait." Xuanzong shouted again.

"What else does the Emperor want?"

"Zhang Dequan, take a look, I look like I, can I still see a guest?" Xuanzong sorted out his clothes and touched his hair.

"The emperor, but his face is not very good, and his hair is a little loose. The hairpin on the head is also a little old. The clothes were also a little wrinkled. Zhang Dequan said a lot of shortcomings in one breath, he didn't dare to say that there was still white dirt in the corners of Xuanzong's eyes, and he didn't dare to say that Xuanzong's clothes were empty and empty like a hanged ghost on his body, which was actually what he had been muttering in his heart.

"Then why don't you dress up for my wide clothes? Change the hairpin, just exchange for the golden dragon hairpin that I have on my fiftieth birthday, and the countries of the Western Regions will pay tribute to me. Put me in a new yellow robe. Xuanzong said busily.

"Yes, yes, the slave maid will immediately dress up for His Majesty." Zhang Dequan said busily.

……

Wang Yuan, Wei Jian, Su Yan Zhenqing and the others waited in the hall on the first floor of the Sanhua Building for half an hour before the high-pitched shouts of the chamberlain sounded in the back of the hall.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Wang Yuan and the others hurriedly stood up, only to see that behind the screen in the back hall, Xuanzong, who was dressed in new clothes, appeared in front of everyone with a smile on his face. Xuanzong's dress was even more exaggerated than when he was the emperor, and Xuanzong was still dressed a little casually at that time, sometimes he even only combed his hair in a bun at will when he saw his subordinates, inserted a simple wooden hairpin, and often wore civilian clothes in the inner palace. And there has never been a time like this when I was wearing a brand new yellow robe, with powder on my face to hide the wrinkles and age spots on my face. The hairpin on the head is also shining with gold, and the mouth of the golden dragon at the end of the hairpin is open, and a shining orb inside exudes a moist light. Not to mention, dressed like this, Xuanzong's whole person seems to be more than ten years younger, and he looks energetic.

"The source of the minister and the king is the emperor." Wang Yuan didn't have time to think about why Xuanzong was dressed like this, so he hurriedly shouted and saluted.

"Chen Wei sees Su and Yan Zhenqing see the Emperor Taishang." Wei Jiansu and Yan Zhenqing were also busy kneeling and bowing.

"Excuse me, hahahaha, Wang Yuan, you're back. I'm crazy to see you. You're finally here. Xuanzong laughed and motioned for everyone to be flat. It's just that this deliberately amplified laughter seems very contrived.

Wang Yuan got up and said with a smile: "The Emperor Taishang asked for forgiveness for not being able to come to the audience at the first time, after returning the day before yesterday, thanks to the warm welcome of Wei Zuo Prime Minister Yan Pingzhang and all his colleagues, a banquet was held by the Wanli Bridge outside the south gate to receive the wind for the ministers. The minister was happy for a while, so he drank a few more glasses. Perhaps it was because he was a little sleepy on the road, and his body was too strong to drink, and he was drunk the night before. When I woke up yesterday, I felt that something was wrong with my body, so I had to rest in bed for a day. I hope that the emperor will not be surprised. ”

"Hehe, don't blame it, don't blame it, you work hard, eat and sleep in the open, you should have recuperated for a few days. I didn't ask anyone to come to you for an audience, but I was thinking about your hard work over the past few months. Come on, sit down, let's talk. Xuanzong said with a smile.

Everyone sat down in thanksgiving, and the servant served tea. At this moment, Xuanzong has abdicated, and the etiquette is also much more relaxed, and everyone is relatively relaxed, and they are not restrained when they drink tea and sit down.

"The Emperor has always been good? Are you still healthy? Wang Yuan asked with a smile.

Xuanzong smiled slightly: "What do you think of my body? I can eat and sleep now, and I will sleep until dawn. There is nothing wrong with the body. ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "That's good, the emperor is in good health, which is the blessing of my Tang Society." ”

Xuanzong waved his hand and said: "This is all thanks to you, with you loyal generals to worry about the Tang Dynasty, of course I don't need to worry about it." Wang Yuan, you really fulfilled your promise to me, and put down the rebellion before the summer came. It is worthy of being the mainstay of my Tang Dynasty. ”

Wang Yuan hurriedly said: "This is all the work of the imperial court and the generals." The minister is just doing his part. The rebellion should have been put down long ago, and it would have been put down last winter had it not been for the resettlement of the victims last winter. ”

Xuanzong nodded and said: "There are many things to restrict, and there is no way, they are all important things." Fortunately, now that the rebellion has been put down, the world is finally peaceful. Tell me about the war in the southeast. ”

Wang Yuan surrendered his order, and simply said several battles in the southeast, Wang Yuan had no intention of showing off his skills in front of Xuanzong, the battle of Yangzhou, and the battle of Chuzhou were all very brief. But even so, Li Longjiwei and Su Yan Zhenqing and others also knew that this war in the southeast was actually not easy. When they first heard the news that the rebels had abandoned the north and marched south along the canal, everyone was worried. But Wang Yuan actually single-handedly went to Yangzhou, relying on Yangzhou's local forces to intercept the rebels at the mouth of the Yangtze River, which is obviously very human, and that battle must be extremely dangerous.
