More than an hour later.
Step - step - step -
Wet footsteps could be heard outside the temple.
"Brother Yuan...I'm back..."
Hearing the weak voice, Yuan Tiangang turned around suddenly, frowned and said, "Your face looks very bad."
Li Yunxiao nodded and lay down in the temple with his somewhat uncomfortable body.
"The matter has been resolved. Li Longji has not been stupid to the end. This move has planted some hidden dangers in the hearts of all the royal descendants..."
"Great Ancestor, Emperor Taizong... How could I not feel sorry for this kid Longji... But the more I feel sorry for him, the more hatred I feel in my heart for his lack of success in his later years. This move... is really a helpless move, no wonder. ..”
"Brother Yuan, I'm very sleepy and want to sleep for a while. Remember to wake me up when you eat..."
After the words fell, Li Yunxiao's eyes gradually closed, and the temple fell into silence.
Yuan Tiangang came to Li Yunxiao and took his pulse. After finding no problem, he sat cross-legged, enjoying the tranquility, looking at the pouring rain outside, and sighed deeply.
....
One day later, Li Ying's ascension to the throne and proclaimed himself emperor was announced to the world.
When the people heard this, they didn't have much feeling. Li Longji and the others liked him, so his son must be good too.
In the court, An Lushan was named the Commander of the Forbidden Army, in charge of the three thousand Forbidden Army in Chang'an, and in charge of order.
More than half a month later, sad news came from the palace that Li Dan was dead.
It's not that Yuan Tiangang has no hope of treatment, it's that Li Dan has lived enough and has the ambition to die.
This incident didn't cause much stir, and Li Dan lived a long life. Although he was a little regretful that what he saw before his death was the emperor's master and the deposed emperor, he felt relieved when he saw that his son was still fine.
Li Dan's life was quite colorful.
He ascended the throne as emperor twice and gave up the throne three times. During this period, he instilled in Li Longji the way of governing the country from an early age and relied on the imperial teacher and national teacher. This can be regarded as creating enough conditions for the prosperous Kaiyuan era.
At that time, many people in the court praised Yao and Song for their chastity in governing the country, his legacy of Yonghui, and his many actions with extremely high wisdom.
On the second day after his death, Li Ying decided after many inquiries that his temple name was Ruizong and he was buried in Qiaoling.
On Li Ying's side, since he succeeded to the throne, he has devoted himself to studying and asking the civil and military ministers how to govern the country. After all, he, the prince, has never had real power since he became the king, nor is he a supervisor of the country. He has to learn these little by little.
The only thing that made him curious was that Yuan Tiangang was not here these days. He remembered that Yuan Tiangang stayed by his father's side for several years after he succeeded to the throne.
Why is it that it is his turn to succeed to the throne and there is no one close to him?
In Yuan Tiangang's residence, Jiangchen and Wu Zhao were studying various medicines, and they took great pains to treat Li Yunxiao's so-called wind-cold.
Li Yunxiao held his chin with one hand, picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.
"How is Li Longji? He still looks like he's lost his mind?"
Yuan Tiangang shook his head: "All the bad guys were driven away by him. No one knows how he is now."
Hearing that Yuan Tiangang's tone seemed a little worried, Li Yunxiao asked again: "What? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Yuan Tiangang said calmly: "I feel uncomfortable not because of the Supreme Emperor, but because of Li Ying's blood. It's so ridiculous!"
Li Yunxiao laughed: "Okay, it's better than exchanging Li Longji's blood, right?"
"What are your plans for the future?"
"I don't have any plans. I won't go out here anymore. I will just stay here... Once I find that someone's character has changed, I will let him abdicate until the Ziwei star in our original hexagram appears!"
Wu Zhao came over at this time carrying a bowl of medicinal soup.
"It's easy for you to talk here. You have changed so many things. It won't be the same whether Ziweixing comes out or not. What's more, look at what's happened now. None of these princes and grandchildren want to be the emperor."
If it was said that there was no way to abolish Li Xian before and Li Yunxiao was excusable in the eyes of everyone, then this time the crime was too serious.
If you do well, Li Yunxiao can also 'persuade' you to abdicate. If you don't, it will be even worse!
Li Yunxiao took the medicinal soup, drank it, and wiped the corners of his mouth.
"That's because they don't understand our intentions. They can eat, drink, and have fun as they please, as long as they don't be dissolute and excessive, and they don't use ministers indiscriminately. Many things have to be solved by us. Isn't that good?"
"But look at how Long Ji understands me. He also wants imperial power and beauty, and he doesn't even care about government affairs. He is the emperor and the emperor. Where can such good things come from in the world?"
"How wonderful it is now. I bear the infamy and he bears the good name. Isn't this great?"
Wu Zhao took the empty bowl and shook his head helplessly.
"I don't know what else you have figured out, but I want to ask, will this kind of thing happen again in the future?"
"We have won this battle for the time being, and it probably won't happen again in the future."
"Oh? Why are you so sure?"
Li Yunxiao had a slight smile on his lips but did not reply.
Seeing that Li Yunxiao didn't want to say anything, Wu Zhao didn't ask any more questions, but said:
"Jiang Chen wants to go out to find someone who is destined to repair the medical book. My technique also has shortcomings. I am going to go out with her. This time I will be away for a long time. If you need me for something, I will ask the bad guy to leave a signal."
"Okay, you go travelling, remember to be careful and don't let that girl harm others."
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm talking about Marshal Li, how come I've been with you for so many years, and you can't trust me so much?"
After Jiang Chen packed up a package, he clapped his hands and walked over.
"Seriously, I'm very curious about what you would do if Li Longji threatened to die."
Li Yunxiao chuckled: "The reason why I can give him so many opportunities is because of his performance in the past few decades. I have said more than once that no one in this world can threaten me."
"Hey, Marshal Yuan can't do it? Can't I? Can't Wu Zhao?"
Li Yunxiao nodded: "I will consider the pros and cons and think about it..."
Jiangchen rolled his eyes: "You are really a headache. We are your closest relatives. Do you still need to consider the pros and cons?"
Li Yunxiao was slightly startled when he heard this.
"Okay, get out of here."
"Humph, I don't want to stay with you yet. Let's go."
"Hey, do you have enough money?"
Jiangchen lifted up a corner of his clothes and hung half a money bag around his waist.
The corners of Li Yunxiao's eyes twitched. She was really rude. It seemed that the two of them were indeed planning to spend more time outside.
After a few people left, Li Yunxiao stood up and said calmly: "I'm going to see that guy Li Longji."
"Together." Yuan Tiangang also stood up.
....
The two came to the place where Li Longji lived and found no one there. Then they learned from the bad people that the other party was in the temple.
When they arrived at the temple, they saw Li Longji with his hands behind his back looking at the spiritual tablet above. It could also be said that he was looking at the spiritual tablet of Tang Ruizong Li Dan.
Li Yunxiao stepped forward and stood side by side with him.
"You must really want to kill me, right?"
Li Longji snorted and shook his head: "Is it important?"
"Important, if you want to kill me, I will give you a chance today."
"Brother Yunxiao!"
Li Longji turned his head slightly and glanced at Yuan Tiangang, then looked at Li Yunxiao: "What will happen if I kill you? Will Yuan Tiangang let me sit on the throne of God again?"
Li Yunxiao's expression gradually became indifferent: "Since you don't want to kill, then put away that expression of someone owed you!"
"I have said many times that this is the path you have chosen. You can hate me or not understand me, but I advise you to enjoy your happiness from now on and stop trying to interfere in court matters."
"Don't even think about seeking death, otherwise your name will not be included in the Li family's ancestral genealogy..."
"Ha." Li Longji smiled calmly: "Even if you kneel down and beg me to intervene now, I won't care anymore."
"Starting from tomorrow, Yuhuan and I will move to Luoyang, the East Palace. I will never come back in this life!"
After finishing his words, Li Longji bowed to the memorial tablet, turned around and walked away.
The corners of Li Yunxiao's mouth raised slightly: "I'm overthinking, is this guy looking away?"
Yuan Tiangang looked at Li Longji's back and murmured: "The choice is uncertain, and now it's over. Only the Supreme Emperor knows what happiness is. It's right not to get into trouble, otherwise he won't be your Majesty in my eyes."
"Let's go, there are still many things waiting for us..."
