"Don't worry, Mom, she can follow suit, but she is destined to fail in this life."
Li Dan smiled lightly and said: "Actually, the emperor's master has left me some advice a long time ago. It's funny, my sister is actually the sister of three emperors."
"If she has such courage, that's normal. But it's a pity that she doesn't have your experience, so she is destined not to become a great person!"
"Moreover, my mother is in charge of the government and works hard to govern. Although she is not a single emperor throughout the ages, she can govern the world as well as many others. If she... dares to have this intention, she is a treasonous person!"
"Now let her be arrogant and extravagant. After all, her fate is the same as mine. Hehehehe, what we both say doesn't count, what the emperor says counts, hahahaha..."
"Okay!" Wu Zhao patted Li Dan on the shoulder: "Misfortune lies on blessings, and misfortunes lie on them. There are always uncertainties in the court to make you live and die, but with the Imperial Master here, Di Renjie and others, it will soon be over." It’s time for you to show off your skills!”
"By the way, the eunuch my mother accepted was recommended by Gao Lishi. Where is he now?"
Li Dan said calmly: "I asked him to serve Longji. That Wu Chengsi was such a poor waiter. I gave him a ninth-grade official and drove him away. Now the two of them are getting along pretty well. Listen to what he wants. Is his name also Gao Lishi?"
"Well, he will be called Gao Lishi from now on. That Shangguan Wan'er is very talented and learned. You should keep him alive, mother is gone."
"Is... leaving now?"
"Well, you just call your mother and live in peace for the rest of your life, and don't care about anything else. Your mother will come back to see you when the time comes."
After the words fell, Wu Zhao turned around and wanted to leave, but found that Li Dan was still holding her clothes.
After taking a deep breath, Li Dan slowly released his palm and watched her climb over and go further and further away.
"National Master...how many years do you think my mother can live?"
"Those who obey the will of ministers above and the hearts of the people below should live a long life."
"Hahahaha...well said! Well said!" Li Dan laughed loudly and turned back: "Okay, let's go and go back to rest."
....
Time flies, and the years fly by.
A few years passed in the blink of an eye, and nothing happened in the Tang Dynasty. Everything was moving towards prosperity, but Li Dan, the emperor, was doing more and more unsatisfactory things.
Because he was not happy, Yuan Tiangang kept urging him to demote Princess Taiping in order to cut off some things that did not happen.
He also felt that since his mother Wu Zhao left, this sister did not seem to intend to remain a peaceful princess.
Now he is sitting on the dragon chair. He has just finished reading the memorial. It is already late at night. He feels a headache and is thinking about his choice.
Yuan Tiangang stood on the left and said calmly: "If it is broken, it will be broken, and if it is continued, it will be chaotic. If Your Majesty does not make a decision, do you want another empress to appear?"
Li Dan scratched his hair: "But she hasn't done anything out of the ordinary now. I just came here suddenly. What will future generations say about me? How can I go down there to see my father?"
At this moment, Li Longji walked in with a bowl of ginseng soup.
"I heard Master Fuhuang yelling from a long way away, but are you encountering something troublesome?"
Li Dan glanced at Li Longji and sighed: "It's nothing, I just miss your grandmother. After so many years of being away, no news has come back."
Li Longji chuckled: "It turns out that my father misses my grandmother. It's true that my grandmother is indeed an amazing woman."
"The first female emperor in the world!"
"But... when my grandmother was young, she was not very friendly to our Li family."
Li Dan's hand paused just as he was about to drink the soup. How could he not understand the meaning?
"Okay, your father is not an old fool. You came just in time. I am planning to establish a prince soon. Which one of you brothers do you think is the most suitable to be the prince?"
Li Longji said calmly: "Of course the eldest son comes first. My eldest brother Li Chengqi should be the prince!"
"No!" A shout suddenly came from outside the door.
I saw Li Chengqi also walking in with a bowl of ginseng soup.
"Chengqi...why are you here?"
Li Chengqi saluted the Imperial Master and Li Dan: "I heard that my father has been in poor health recently, so I came to take a look."
"I have heard what you just said." After saying that, he raised his head and looked at Li Longji and said seriously: "Third brother, the eldest brother has no virtue or talent. Although he cares deeply about the country of Tang Dynasty, he knows that he is not an emperor. Talent."
"I beg my father to make my third brother Longji the crown prince! I hope that my father will put the country, the country, the country, and the country as the most important thing, and respect the elders and the young as the lower priority! Don't hesitate!"
Li Dan rubbed his eyebrows: "Master, what do you think I should do about this matter?"
Yuan Tiangang said calmly: "Your Majesty has already thought about it, and it all depends on your Majesty's decision!"
Li Dan felt a little helpless as he pushed the words back to himself.
"Then let me change the question, Imperial Master..." Li Dan suddenly asked quietly: "Is Imperial Master really the descendant of the great ancestor?"
This is something that Li Dan has been keeping in his heart. He has wanted to ask for a long time. Not only him, but also the ministers who were in office that day could see clearly what the two said about dragon energy.
When Li Yunxiao said that he was the son of Emperor Gaozu and the brother of Li Shimin, their heads felt as if they had been struck by lightning!
But this is not unacceptable, because as early as Li Zhi's period, many people had tacitly agreed that Li Yunxiao was Li Zhi's uncle.
What's more, Li Dan also said that Li Yunxiao was his uncle, and he recognized his relatives in disguise. Why were they still so shocked?
Now looking back at the events recorded in the Historical Records of Zhenguan, they realized that Li Shimin was really very kind to Li Yunxiao!
At the same time, they also suspected that no matter whether Li Yunxiao was a royal heir or not, his achievements must be related to Taizong. Maybe Taizong had already made far-reaching plans before his death...
When Yuan Tiangang heard the question, he slowly shook his head: "Your Majesty, there is no need to miss my brother Yunxiao. He has his own things to do, and he should do his own."
"Hey? Why did you answer the wrong question? I didn't force the Imperial Master to become the emperor. I just asked."
"Brother Yunxiao, we are not our biological heirs, but our great ancestor Taizong was kind to us."
Li Dan nodded when he heard this: "If I had said this earlier, it would have been over. They are all Riddlers..."
After pondering for a moment, Li Dan looked at Li Chengqi: "Chengqi, to be honest with you, your father has long wanted to make your brother the crown prince."
This dragon robe could no longer fit on Li Yunxiao, so Li Dan didn't think about it anymore and directly expressed his feelings to his eldest son.
"Of course I know this." Li Chengqi was unfazed when he heard this, and even felt that this was what he should do.
If there is any discussion about the so-called respect for elders, he, the boss, can stop it.
"National Master, I have a favor for you."
Yuan Tiangang came below and held his hands together, ready to take orders.
Li Dan took out an edict from under his buttocks and threw it to Yuan Tiangang.
"I have prepared this edict a long time ago, but I don't know when the time will be right. Now I have to establish a prince, lest someone has the intention to harm my child. I will leave it to you to handle this matter."
Yuan Tiangang opened the edict, took a look at it, and knelt down on one knee.
"My lord, I will definitely deliver it!"
This edict was a derogatory letter, which demoted Princess Taiping to Puzhou to rest in peace and contentment.
After Yuan Tiangang left, Li Dan seemed to have aged a lot.
Among his brothers and sisters, all of them were born to Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang, and now they have died of illness. Only Taiping and he have a good relationship for the time being.
"Alas~~~" Seeing the eldest son and third son here, Li Dan said leisurely: "In recent years, whether it is the national master, the imperial master, or your grandmother, they have all warned me to be careful about you. aunt."
"She said she didn't take the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty into her heart. She kept following him to get closer. She was only focused on her own power and selfish interests."
"If there is no Imperial Master in our dynasty, once your aunt succeeds, I am afraid that someone with a personality similar to your grandmother when you were young will appear."
Having said this, Li Dan slowly stood up and came to Li Longji's side.
"As a father, I want to pass the throne to you, do you dare to take it?"
Does Li Longji want to be emperor?
I think, he has absolute confidence that he can rule the Tang Dynasty well.
But I was also very confused.
When you become an emperor, you are powerful and powerful, and you have national teachers to obey your orders. How majestic and majestic it is. This desire for power is a symbol of the peak of prosperity!
But when he became the emperor, he had almost no time left, and what he cared about most was that if he didn't do well, I'm afraid the imperial master... wouldn't spare him!
