Li Longji's heart rose to his throat, and he said, "Who?" ”

"It's me, Wang Maozhong."

"It turned out to be General Wang." Li Longji breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone in the world thought that Wang Maozhong disappeared before the coup d'état in Tanglong, because he was not optimistic about this coup d'état and slipped away in advance.

Not really.

The fact is that Li Longji was not sure about this coup d'état, and asked him to arrange a retreat in advance. In Li Longji's mind, Wang Maozhong is really a henchman among his henchmen. Today, Li Longji specially arranged for him to be in charge of the guard of this secret meeting.

Li Longji asked, "What happened?" Didn't the lonely king say that there is no major matter, and you are not allowed to disturb? ”

"It's just that when something big happens, the last general dares to knock on the door. Your Majesty sent someone to send a decree to edict you to enter the palace. ”

"Huh? Your Majesty just gave King Gu a stick, what do you want me to do in the palace now? Li Longji was full of suspicion.

Of course, the 10,000 cavalry guarding the palace was under Li Longji's control, and he was not worried about his own safety.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Longji followed a tall eunuch with a slightly ugly face into the Daming Palace and came in the direction of the Ganlu Palace.

He coughed lightly and said, "You are Yang Siqiao Yang Gonggong, right?" ”

"The prince said this, but it really tormented the slave, I can't deserve the word "you". That's right, the slave is Yang Siqiao. ”

"Where, deserve it. I think that at the beginning, Li Chongjun forced the first emperor in Xuanwu Gate. If it weren't for Yang Gonggong's action, Jiangshan Sheji would be worried about collapse! ”

After a pause, he said: "The court rehabilitated Li Chongjun and named him the prince of Jiehan." It was to commend him for killing Wu Sansi and resisting Empress Wei, but not to praise him for coercing the first emperor. Yang Gonggong decided the matter that day, which was really a great contribution to the country, and Xiao Wang admired it. ”

The Xuanwu Gate of that day was the beginning of Yang Siqiao's career, and Li Longji's words scratched his itch.

Yang Siqiao said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the king of Linzi would be so polite to a person like a slave and maid. I have heard for a long time that Corporal Lixian of Linzi Wang, and when I saw it today, it really deserves its reputation. ”

Li Longji shook his head and said, "Eh, what kind of person is still in prison?" In Xiao Wang's eyes, Yang Gonggong is a big hero and a good man, I don't know how many men with eyebrows are better than him. ”

……

Li Longji was interested in accepting it, and Yang Siqiao was also happy to befriend the king of Linzi, and the atmosphere between the two sides became more and more harmonious.

Seeing that the Manna Hall was in front of him, Li Longji said: "I don't know what Your Majesty is doing today to announce the edict of this king." ”

Yang Siqiao blinked his eyes and said, "Oh, the slave doesn't dare to talk nonsense about such a big matter." ”

He lowered his voice again and said, "But don't worry, it's a good thing, a great thing." ”

Good thing?

Li Longji was puzzled, and followed Yang Siqiao to the Manna Palace.

looked around, but saw that in addition to Li Dan, the eldest brother Li Chengqi, the second brother Li Chengyi, the fourth brother Li Longfan, and the fifth brother Li Longye were all there.

The monarch and the ministers have finished the ceremony, and Li Dan gave him a seat.

Li Longji said: "I don't know what happened to my father's summoning of his sons today? ”

"This matter is both a state affair and a family affair." Li Dan said: "I have discussed with several of your brothers, and this throne should be inherited by you. ”

"What?" Happiness came so fast that Li Longji couldn't believe his ears.

Li Dan said: "I will issue an edict soon to make you the prince." ”

"This ...... This...... Never! The crown prince should be the eldest brother if he does not take the throne, and the eldest brother should be the eldest brother, and the child is ashamed. ”

Li Chengqi waved his hand and said, "Third brother, you don't shirk it, if the world is peaceful, of course the prince will be the eldest son." But now, when the state is difficult, it can only be judged by merit. You killed Wei, you have the merit of saving the society, and the position of the prince should be done by you. ”

Li Chengyi also said: "I have the same opinion as the eldest brother, the position of the prince belongs to the third brother." ”

Li Longfan and Li Longye expressed their positions in unison and said, "Third brother, you can agree, this is what my father and we all mean." It's just that...... You must not turn your face and deny people after becoming the emperor! ”

"That's nature, this world belongs to our Li family, and the wealth should be shared by our five brothers...... Ah, no, I mean, is this crown prince still to be considered in the long run? ””

Li Dan said: "There is no need to think about it in the long run. I have made up my mind, and there is no change in the gift. ”

After a pause, he said earnestly: "I know that San Lang has a lot of misunderstandings about me because of the replacement of the prime minister. However, to tell you the truth, I replaced the prime minister, it was really for the sake of national affairs, and I had no intention of targeting you. If you think about it carefully, are Yao Yuanchong and Song more suitable than Cui Riyong and Zhong Shaojing? Now that the country is in turmoil, we should appoint people on the basis of merit, not cronyism! ”

Yao Chongsong is a virtuous figure in the entire Tang Dynasty, and Cui Riyong and Zhong Shaojing are not worthy of lifting their shoes.

Li Longji secretly pondered, in order to seize power, I appointed Zhong Shaojing, a political idiot, and Cui Riyong, the murderer, as prime ministers, which is indeed a bit excessive. Could it be ...... What my father has done, is it really for the sake of my Tang Dynasty? That being the case, I spend my father's belly with the heart of a villain, and I am really inferior to a bird ~ a beast.

Thinking of this, he knelt on the ground and said, "Erchen only now understands his father's painstaking intentions, and asks his father to punish him." Why don't you sit on the position of the prince? ”

Li Dan picked him up with his own hands and said gently: "Where? Saburo doesn't have to blame himself too much. The ancients said that knowing mistakes can improve greatly. I thought that the position of the prince belonged to you. ”

Li Dan was a good talker, and the next day he issued an edict to make Li Longji the crown prince.

Not only that, but three days later, the ceremony of establishing the prince was officially held, and the temple was sacrificed. That being the case, Li Longji is the rightful prince of the Tang Dynasty.

……

……

Inside the Prince's East Palace.

A few good wine banquets were set up on the table, Li Longji and all the henchmen were staggered, and the wine was dry, so happy.

But just as the atmosphere was getting more and more enthusiastic, suddenly a loud voice sounded

"Do you think that's peace of mind? I don't know if I'm dying! ”

Well? Who's messing with this?

People follow the prestige, but it is Zheng.

After the end of the coup d'état in Tanglong, Zheng was awarded the title of "Right Scattered Cavalry".

This official Zhang Changzong has done it, but it is the function of Zheng Sanpin, and he can be regarded as an adviser to the emperor. If the emperor trusts it, it is really beautiful. But if the emperor doesn't look down on it, it is equivalent to semi-retirement.

As for that, will Li Dan trust Zheng? Nonsense, for this villain who doesn't know how many masters he has changed, let alone Li Xian, even Li Longji won't trust it.

The reason why he was given this official position, even if it was because this official had no real power, even if Zheng betrayed, he would not be able to cause much loss.

Li Longji did not ask him to attend the secret meeting later.

As for Zheng himself, he must not like this arrangement very much.

Wang Maozhong reprimanded sharply: "The surname Zheng, do you know that just based on this sentence just now, he has already committed a capital crime!" You are the father-son relationship of the Heavenly Family! ”

Zheng took a toothpick, picked his teeth unhurriedly, smiled, and said, "The father-son relationship of the heavenly family still needs Zheng to be separated?" What the emperor has done in the past few days, I have a comparison. ”

"Compare it to what?"

"Slap in the face, give a sweet date!" Zheng Du said: "What kind of father and son are filial? Bullshit! Look, Your Majesty still has a lot of means, sooner or later you have to make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not up or down, not forward or backward, just hanging in the air, powerful and nowhere to go, not to mention how uncomfortable. ”
