Chapter 53 Chapter 16 Future Emperor

Leaving Prince Liang's mansion, what Long Ying wanted to see most was Duanmu Ling and the little witch, but he was afraid of disturbing the little witch's mood, so he had to restrain this impulse, and rushed back to spend time with the three wives, letting himself relax.Unexpectedly, before arriving at Shangyang Palace, a young eunuch stopped him and asked him to go to the Grand Palace Supervisor's Mansion. The dragon, eagle and horse are fast, and they arrive at the destination in less than half a cup of hot tea.Qiao Gong'e led the way to the backyard, she recognized one of the Gong'e who massaged the fat father-in-law in the pavilion that day.Ask: What is the name of the eldest sister, and how long have you been serving the father-in-law?

Qiao Gong'e was both ashamed and happy, she bowed her head and replied respectfully: "Master Ying, please call your servant Xiaohui!"How can Xiaohui deserve the title of Lord Eagle?The servant girl has been serving the fat father-in-law since she was sensible. Longying casually asked: How old is Xiaohui this year? Xiaohui said: "The maidservant is fifteen years old this year. Stepping into the small hall of the inner courtyard, it was the first time in the mansion that I saw the fat father-in-law who was not eating.When he saw Longying, he picked up a bag of things on the table without saying a word, and threw it towards Longying, Longying took it with one hand, and Xiaohui hurried away quietly.

Long Ying was stunned and said: What is it? The fat father-in-law walked towards him and said, "Put it on!" Long Ying thought it was another set of clothes pretending to be a genius doctor, so he quickly took off his clothes and tried them on, and then told about Wu Zhaoge's going to the Wu family's military post. The fat father-in-law Lao Huai comforted him and said: "Elder-in-law's words, she will always listen to them." Long Ying said in surprise: So the father-in-law persuaded her. The fat father-in-law said: After Tai Ya and you left, the father-in-law talked to her calmly and persuaded her to wake up from the dream that the Wu family has passed down for generations.I told her frankly that it will be a matter of time before the great country will be ruined by her Wu family's children. The worst situation will happen in her lifetime. Hegemony is bound to come to naught.It also left a notorious reputation through the ages, and it has failed to meet the expectations of us.

While he was talking, Long Ying changed into his clothes, looked startled, and said: Isn't this the eunuch's clothes? The fat father-in-law snatched the hat from his hand, raised his hand to put it on for him, and said: "I want you to play the eunuch."The eunuch has the body of an eunuch, quickly get it out and show it to your father-in-law. Longying was helpless and said: How to get it out? Fat Eunuch said nonchalantly: Eunuch is not an ever-changing evil emperor, how can he know how to teach you?Use your brains. Longying collected his mind and concentrated his attention on the joints and muscles of his body. After a while, his whole body crackled, and suddenly he became two inches shorter, his body became bent, his chest was raised and his belly was shrunk, and he turned into the figure of an eunuch with no flaws. .

Fat Eunuch Gongdao: Put on the ugly mask! Long Ying put on a mask in confusion. The fat father-in-law circled around him, stopped in front of him, reached into his pocket to dig out something, and said: "This mask is really hateful, it has fibrous roots."ha!How could a eunuch have hair roots?He opened the small round porcelain box he took out, and inside the box was something like rouge and gouache, and applied a little on his chin to cover up the flaws.He laughed and said: Come with the father-in-law! Longying followed beside him and asked: Where are you going?So sneaky? The fat father-in-law led him to the direction of the backyard door, and said in a deep voice: "Let's talk after getting in the car!"

When a young eunuch saw them, he immediately opened the back door respectfully, and there was a mule train waiting outside.Five mule carts and more than 30 eunuchs were waiting for orders.Seeing the fat father-in-law, the eunuchs saluted respectfully, no one dared to look up at Longying. The fat father-in-law boarded one of the mule carts with him.Fat Eunuch said: let’s go! It was the first time for Long Ying to be the driver of the mule cart, and he frantically controlled the mule to drive out. Following the slowly moving mule cart ahead, a large number of eunuchs ran on both sides to cover him, a fake eunuch.

The fat father-in-law Shu Yin said to him in a thread: I want to take you into the East Palace. Longying was startled, restrained his voice, and said in a low voice: East Palace?What are you doing there? The fat father-in-law sighed: Shidaner's third son, Longji, sent a message, asking the father-in-law to help him and let you meet him before departure.Unexpectedly, among Li Tang's disciples, a courageous and insightful person finally appeared. Sanlang saw it very accurately. Not only did he know that his father-in-law is closely related to you, but he also knows that his father-in-law will not betray him because of you. It is really remarkable.

Long Ying understood that Wan Renyu should have informed Li Longji that he could not find time to meet him, so he came to beg Fat Eunuch. Why is Li Longji so eager to see him?Dao: Why is the father-in-law willing to help him with this favor? Fat Eunuch Gongdao: Eunuch’s heart has softened a lot since the cloud of the Holy Gate disappeared. Eunuch has watched the four of them grow up. Now only Xian’er and Dan’er are left. Eunuch likes Dan’er more.He has no ambitions, and his personality is easygoing. Although he is not made to be an emperor, he will not cause a catastrophe.On the contrary, Xian'er is incompetent, arrogant, but pitifully cowardly, thanks to his strong wife for support. I'm afraid that if he becomes emperor, the situation of Wu Zhao and Gao Zong's weak men and strong women will be repeated.

The mule convoy left Xuanzheng Gate in the northwest corner of the palace city, turned left and headed for Chongguang Gate, the main gate of the East Palace. Long Ying remembered what Wan Renyu said, that in Li Tang's clan, only Li Longji was qualified to be emperor.Ask: What kind of person is Li Longji? Fat Eunuch said: Eunuch has little contact with him, and doesn't know much about him.What I heard back is that he likes to make friends in the world, has a bold personality, and loves riding and shooting.well!It is conceivable that such a person is locked in the East Palace. The mule caravan drove into the East Palace, and the Habayashi army at the gate saw that the fat father-in-law was leading the team, so they didn't dare to ask half a word to let them in.

The East Palace is located in the southeast corner of the palace city. The main entrance is Chongguang Gate, and there are small gates in the east and west. Binshan Gate is in the east and Yanyi Gate is in the west. There are many palaces, hidden among the trees, the scenery is good, of course it is not as beautiful and magnificent as Miyagi, but it still has a quiet and elegant look.But when he thought that this was a big prison wrapped in beautiful icing, Long Ying was filled with emotion.How could Wu Zhao be so cruel to his own children and grandchildren? Why bother?Thinking of the harm the country and the people caused by the children of the Wu family made me feel even more indignant.

Their caravan of mules turned right around the main hall and drove along the road towards the dining room on the right rear, where there were also many warehouses. Long Ying said in surprise: We came here in such a grand manner, aren't we afraid of attracting the attention of Wu Zhao and the Wu family's children? The fat father-in-law said indifferently: "Every first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, the father-in-law will send people to bring food and materials to the East Palace, and the father-in-law will come here every month to meet with them and inquire about their needs, so as to ensure the safety of their families." There is no shortage of supplies.Who dares to question the father-in-law?Whoever dares to say a word about father-in-law will be beaten to death by Luanzhang, and no one can protect him. Long Ying said: "I almost forgot to ask my father-in-law, how did your majesty react when he heard what you said?" Fat Eunuch said: She didn't answer half a sentence, but she obviously listened to her. The mule train stopped. More than a dozen maids and servants came up to help unload the grain and goods.The fat father-in-law got out of the car and said: Don't talk, just pretend to be a follower and go with the father-in-law. Fat Eunuch sat Longying down in a remote small hall, which seemed to be the servant's house, but he didn't know where he was going.After waiting for a while, Li Longji came.Long Ying took off his mask early and saw him with his real face. He pushed the door and entered, and Long Ying stood up to meet him.Li Longji rushed forward in three steps, stretched out his hands excitedly to hold him, and sighed: Since the first day I saw Brother Long in Bafang Pavilion, I have always admired him and cared about him.Just now when Ren Yu came to tell me that it was difficult for you to separate, I was so disappointed, so I had no choice but to beg Fat Eunuch desperately. Long Ying looked at him carefully, Li Longji was indeed a good-looking talent, with big ears, although he was young, he was calm and calm, his eyes were radiant, and he did not show the slightest look of depression and frustration caused by long-term house arrest.Dao: Why does the king of Linzi believe that the fat father-in-law will help you? Li Longji said: We treat each other as friends, call me Longji!What Longji trusts is not Fat Eunuch but Brother Long. Ren Yu said that Fat Eunuch will conceal everything about you for Brother Long. Longying said: Let's sit down and talk. The two sat a few pairs apart in a corner. Longying said: Does Longji have any resentment towards the Holy One? Li Longji knew that Longying was testing him, and said frankly: Leaving aside the family grievances, except for one aspect, Longji admired the Holy One with all his heart and sincerely admired him. Longying Daqi said: Longji, can you explain? Li Longji said eloquently, "The Holy Majesty is just like my Emperor Taizong of the Li family. He handles all kinds of affairs every day, takes care of government affairs personally, and does his duty as an emperor who is in charge of government affairs and who is discerning and judgmental."The facts are in front of my eyes, from the day she was in charge of the government, it has been just 40 years, and the population has increased by more than 2 million households. Can deal with natural and man-made disasters.The rapid development of industry and commerce, regardless of metallurgy, silk weaving, construction, porcelain making, and shipbuilding, is beyond comparison when the country was founded.In addition to Chang'an and Luoyang, Yangzhou, Chengdu and Guangzhou have all developed into new big cities integrating culture and economy.Just like what people said at the time: All the rivers in the world are gathered by boats and boats, bypassing Bahan, and pointing to Minyue in front, seven lakes and ten bushes, three rivers and five lakes.Controlling and leading Heluo, and also covering Huaihai, Hongge giant ships, thousands of shafts and tens of thousands of ships, exchange and return trade, ignorance will last forever. Watching him speak, Longying's expression became brighter, and he let out the anger and depression in his heart like a river, and was stunned for a while. Li Longji couldn't stop thinking about it.After a while, he continued: When it comes to employing people, aside from the selfishness of using his children, he knows that people are good at making good use of them. Regardless of Di Renjie, Yao Chong, Song Jing and Zhang Shuo, they are good ministers and virtuous ministers who are rare in a century, and they are willing to accept advice with an open mind. In this regard, only Emperor Taizong can compare. Long Ying clapped a few words: "Little brother finally figured out the most important thing to do in the capital of God." Li Longji gave him this outstanding sentence from Qifeng, confused him, and said in astonishment: Brother Long figured out what? Longying leaned forward and looked into his eyes. Li Longji's eyes shot out a sincere, upright and dignified look, and met his scorching fire that seemed to be able to penetrate the iron wall. Long Ying said word by word: It is to praise you as the emperor. Li Longji was taken aback, and said: Brother Long, don't talk nonsense. Long Ying said with a sonorous tone: "Only you know about this matter, brother, you don't have to be afraid."Emperor Taizong and Shengshang successively laid an incomparably solid foundation for the Tang Dynasty. As long as the emperor of Ming Dynasty emerges and sweeps away the evil spirits, the Tang Dynasty will surely bloom and bear unprecedented rich fruits. Momentum for change.Of course, your brother must continue to hide his strength and bide his time, waiting for the opportunity.But situations are created by people, and I know how to play this game better than anyone else. Li Longji was shocked, and smiled wryly: "Brother Long may not be very clear about the law of succession of the royal family. The king of Luling is the orthodox heir, and then it is his eldest son Li Chongjun's turn."In our lineage, besides father, there is also an elder brother.well!It's never my turn. Long Ying said coldly: This set is completely useless to my younger brother, I only know who has the qualifications to be a good emperor.Your uncle is just Webster's tool and will not end well, while your father is timid and afraid of getting into trouble.Tell me, what is your brother like? Li Longji showed embarrassment. Long Ying said calmly: If you don't want to say it, don't say it, just by looking at your expression, you can tell that they are addicted to the sensual things of the royal family.The success of the king and the defeat of the bandits can all be explained by the internal strife in the palace.Now your imperial grandmother is the big winner, controlling everything, but as long as she is not immortal, she will leave one day.The most urgent task now is to bring back the King of Luling who is loved by everyone, and let him be the crown prince. That would be a complete failure for the Wu family's children.The emperor's great cause must be carried out step by step, and there is no rush. Li Longji breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said: Brother Long had such a deep understanding of the struggle for the emperor's heir, so Longji was relieved.But let me be::: Long Ying cut him off and said: "A man of integrity is a man who lives in the world, does his part, and dares to do something."Answer me, the secret agreement between me and you, and also between Ren Yu and you, will take effect immediately and will last forever, otherwise it will be as if I, Long Ying, never said what I just said. Li Longji fell silent, his eyes grew brighter, he stretched out his hands without turning his heels, and said: From now on, Li Longji will be a comrade in arms fighting side by side with Longying. Even if his head is lost in the future, he will never regret it. Longying's probe held hands tightly with him, and said with a long smile: I, Longying, have found the goal and ideal of life. Then he said a little embarrassedly: I said it a little too quickly, besides my younger brother, Ren Yu and Fat Eunuch will also be informed of this matter.Especially the fat father-in-law, without his help, it would be very difficult to get things done. Li Longji said happily: "Fat father-in-law will really be on our side?" Long Ying said: "Don't have the slightest doubt, the fat father-in-law just ordered the Holy One to dismiss Wu Sansi, Wu Youyi and Wu Yizong from their military positions, and replace them with Lou Shide, Zhang Jiujie and Yang Xuanji. Li Longji frowned and said, "Isn't it more difficult to use stupid, handsome and weak troops? Long Ying said: "The Khitan people are dazzled by the victory, no matter how we dispatch our troops, we will not pay attention to it." Li Longji said: "Brother Long, please forgive Longji for speaking bluntly, why do you have such confidence in you who have never been on a battlefield, whether you are Shengshang, Di Renjie, Zhang Jianzhi or Ren Yu, and believe that you will win without a doubt?"Also, Longji heard people say that Tubo Prince Hengkong Muye once said that you are the scariest person on the battlefield in front of the Holy Dragon.What is the basis for these words? Longying said happily: Longji, you are showing your ability to be an emperor. You don't have any scruples because of forming an alliance with me, and you are afraid of offending my younger brother.It is difficult to explain the matter clearly, and there is no time.To put it simply, I am a person who has a sense of knowing the enemy. The same is true when two people confront each other, and it is the same when thousands of troops confront each other on the battlefield. Generally speaking, Zhongzhong and Sun Wanrong are doomed. Fat Eunuch came back, stretched out his hand to hold Li Longji's arm tightly, and said: I heard the last few words, let Eunuch add a few more, no matter it is Longji, you, my fat Eunuch, or the enemy, you will never know. What a terrible person to face.But you can completely trust him, what he says is what he says, and he won't talk back. After saying that, he led Longying away. The mule caravan left the East Palace Prison, and Long Ying told the fat father-in-law exactly what he had just said in the meeting with Li Longji. Fat Eunuch happily said: Where could the evil emperor's judgment go wrong?This son is also the only one among Li Tang's disciples who dares to contradict Wu's disciples.When he was seven years old, he followed his father to the Vientiane Shrine to participate in the sacrificial ceremony. Wu Yizong deliberately scolded their followers loudly in front of the saint to humiliate Li Dan.Li Dan and others were silent like cicadas, but Li Longji scolded loudly back, saying: "My family is in court, what are you doing?"Dare to force me to ride.Seeing that he was so bold and colorful at such a young age, Ming Kong looked at him differently. He also said: This son has less ambition and more charisma, otherwise Ren Yu would not regard him as a friend.ha!It's great, my father-in-law finally found the goal of living, which is to let the great cause that my Holy Sect has fought so hard to win, continue to blossom and bear fruit, so that it will not leave a bad reputation for thousands of years, and I must tell Qiandai. Long Ying said in astonishment: Who is Qian Dai? Fat Gonggong said: Qiandai is the one who holds Daming Kong in one hand, Houhou's personal maidservant, her current Taoist name is Guihuagu, and she is the master of the Yanggong Temple on the Forbidden Ground of Gongcheng. Since Houhou's death, she never stepped out Female view half a step, you go to talk to her, she just listens silently. Long Ying remembered that Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi had mentioned her, and at the time thought they were referring to Houhou.He said in amazement: Father-in-law go and tell her that if she makes an exception and tells the Holy Majesty, Li Longji's head will fall immediately. Fat father-in-law said: Houhou's last words were to tell Mingkong not to ignore her father-in-law's harsh advice to her. Qiandai heard it with her own ears, so how could she betray her father-in-law?Houhou is really powerful, seeing through her lover is very emotional and not wise enough. Long Ying lost his voice and said: Is she acting on emotion? Fat Gonggong said: She is indeed a person with rich emotions, but she has to be suppressed hard, and has become a contradictory and complicated character. When she becomes ruthless, everyone can't believe it.But she also has a fragile side, which is clear when she sees Qiandai, but no one can see it. He sighed again: Where are you going? Long Ying said: "I'm going to see the Holy One again and make new demands.Don't say that I am greedy, but in the ever-changing situation, there are many changes in the plan. The mule convoy arrived at Omiya Supervisor's Mansion.
