As for Li Longji, after he arrived, he found that nothing happened to his father, and he immediately understood what happened between Yuan Tiangang and his father.
"Father! You, why are you doing this? I'm just enjoying the singing and dancing. Are you going to scare me with your physical discomfort?"
Li Dan drove all the servants out, pulled Li Longji to the bed, and said seriously: "Sanlang, who do you think you can hide this from?"
"Where was your shrewdness before? How come you can't even pretend anymore?"
"Disguise? What am I pretending to be?"
Li Dan raised his finger and pointed at Li Longji, frowning: "Look at you, my father only said a few words to you, what do you look like now, because of a prettier woman, you start to get upset? "
"Why are you so impatient, my son?"
"Aren't you still impatient? Look at the dark circles under your eyes. Have you not had a good rest?"
Li Longji sighed, stood up slowly and walked around. After a while, he turned back to look at his father: "Father, I also want to have a good rest, but, I just can't sleep well and can't sleep!"
"Sanlang, you...sigh!!"
Li Longji stepped forward and held his father's shoulders, with a somewhat melancholy tone: "Father, you have watched me grow up, and you should know me best."
"My son is no longer a teenager now. Our Tang Dynasty is so stable and prosperous with all the nations coming to court. These are all worthy of happiness, but don't you know what my son is thinking?"
"You have been in contact with the Imperial Master for longer than I have. Can you go and persuade them both to stop getting involved in my son's affairs?"
"Oh, persuade them? Aren't you the emperor? Why didn't you use your imperial power to order the national advisor?"
"Why should I order the imperial advisor?" Li Longji slowly stood up straight, and the aura of a superior person was revealed: "Since I inherited the throne, I have sworn to make them submit to me instead of listening to my orders!"
"Even though I know it will be extremely difficult to conquer them both, I have a feeling that at least with the National Master, I succeeded!"
Li Dan nodded: "Yes, you have indeed gained the favor of the Imperial Master, and he is willing to be dispatched by my royal family, or in other words, to be dispatched by you, and is loyal to you."
"But since you have this idea in your mind, why don't you consider conquering the Imperial Master?"
Li Longji was dumbfounded. He did have the courage and confidence, but confidence should not be eaten. It was easy to capture Yuan Tiangang's heart, because Yuan Tiangang was loyal to the royal family, which the royal family had personally verified over the years.
But Li Yunxiao is different. This guy can run anywhere. You can say that he cares about the people of the world. He kills countless lives in his hands and says he doesn't care. He also keeps the Tang Dynasty running. He will always come out when something happens.
How can he catch him?
"Oh! Father, I am really tired. As for the Imperial Master, you should go tell him and don't get involved in this matter."
Li Dan grabbed his nightgown and shook it hard.
"You little bastard! Are you asking your father to persuade the emperor?"
"Your father and I have tried to persuade the Imperial Master on many things over the years, but I have to listen to them!"
"You have to know, if there was no Imperial Master, how much blood would be shed by our old Li family, including your blood, it might be someone else's wedding dress!"
"And the most important thing is that my father is not as welcoming as your grandfather or your uncle Li Hong. There is nothing I can do to him."
Li Dan actually wanted to have a close friendship with Li Yunxiao, like a brother and friend, not like a monarch or a minister.
But he could clearly feel that Li Yunxiao was very alienated from him, and even alienated all the princes of his generation.
Moreover, since Yuan Tiangang came back, he has rarely appeared in court, and few people know about him.
He can also understand this. Perhaps in his opinion, not leaving any feelings behind is the most comforting thing.
"Father, the Imperial Master has already come to see me alone. What he said was heard in my ears and remembered in my heart, but I just felt unhappy in my heart!"
Li Dan stepped forward and comforted him: "It's natural to be unhappy. You are the emperor of today, the emperor of the world, and you are still controlled by others. Of course you feel uncomfortable."
"But as a father, why should I not be the same as you?"
"So you cowardly abdicated the throne and chose me to succeed!?"
"What are you talking about? Isn't this the throne you want?"
"I do! I have also achieved what you mentioned as early prosperity. Now I have to live for myself. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"To be honest, father, since the death of several of my concubines, I have never had that kind of surging feeling."
"It wasn't until I saw Yang Yuhuan... that I seemed to understand the meaning of life and the meaning of working hard over the years."
"You bastard." Li Dan was furious when he heard this: "You have worked hard for so many years, is it because of a woman!?"
"Of course not! But in order to live a better life and enjoy glory, I gave my best years to the Tang Dynasty. Why not do this now? This is what I deserve!"
"I just talked about it today. I don't want to be so sleepless, and I don't want to be so sneaky and let people find excuses to call her over!"
"My son is with her, not because of love between men and women, but because of the ecstasy of seeing through the clouds and rain in Wushan Mountain. That is the fairyland in my heart!"
Seeing Li Dan pointing at him angrily, Li Longji knelt on the ground and murmured: "Father, my son is already nearly fifty years old."
"I'm not as proficient in the mystic arts as the Imperial Master and the Imperial Master, and I don't have much left in my life. If I can't do whatever I want in the remaining years, what's the point of being an emperor?"
"You don't want to get involved in many things, so just treat it as a helper. Even if you don't have any ideas, just pretend you don't know."
Li Dan took a deep breath, looked at Li Longji in front of him, and his heart softened.
Indeed, he is not young anymore. Even if he is the emperor, he cannot do whatever he wants, so why should he sit in this position?
"Sanlang, it seems that you have made up your mind. Do you know the consequences of this?"
Li Longji nodded: "I know, but I can pay any price!"
"Even the throne?"
"Emperor...throne..." Li Longji was suddenly stunned, not knowing what Li Dan meant.
Li Dan said quietly: "The Imperial Master asked Li Ying to go to his residence today. I think you should understand what he meant."
"Emperor Master! He...he is so presumptuous!"
"What does he want to do? Does he think I should abdicate and train the prince instead?!"
"Don't he know that this prince was appointed by me!?"
"Sanlang! Have you forgotten that your father's emperor was also established by the emperor's master!?"
"Hmph!" Li Longji suddenly shook his sleeves and left: "That's because my father has made no achievements and is regarded as inaction! My son and I are different from you!"
"Sanlang, Sanlang!? Remember! You are an emperor with great achievements!"
Li Longji shouted loudly from outside the door: "The years will pass! Even if you refine elixirs and seek Taoism, you can't guarantee eternal youth. I am not guilty of pursuing this day!"
Li Dan stood at the door and watched Li Longji leave, sighing heavily. He was already thinking about how to talk to Li Yunxiao about these things.
After Li Longji came back, he called Gao Lishi.
"Go and call Princess Shou over to me!"
Gao Lishi didn't move at all, which made Li Longji look at him intently.
"I'm talking to you! Call Princess Shou to me!"
Gao Lishi said with a tangled look on his face: "Your Majesty, it's getting late now. If you summon Princess Shou to the palace, aren't you afraid of people inside and outside the palace talking about her?"
"What is there to discuss? What can they discuss? What can they dare to discuss?!"
"It is only natural for the emperor to summon the princess! What does it have to do with them!?"
"Okay!" Gao Lishi nodded fiercely: "Your Majesty, we can ignore the discussions inside and outside the palace, but if Your Majesty is so anxious and acts like this, you will embarrass Princess Shou too much!"
"This..." When Li Longji heard this, his anger slowly calmed down.
Indeed, even if nothing happened if he summoned the princess late at night, it would not be good for Yang Yuhuan if word spread.
"You are right, so right!"
"I can't be anxious, he is the princess of Mao'er, I...I can't be anxious!!"
