A knife in love

Chapter 3239

When Li Zongyang said this, he paused for a moment, sighed, and then continued: "After Li Longji got rid of Princess Taiping, although the emperor Li Dan felt sorry for his sister's tragic death, he knew that Li Longji's wings had grown. If he didn't know Current affairs, blamed Li Longji for not caring about family affection. With the nature of this son, his fate may be far worse than that of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan. Disposed by the emperor, he can be the supreme emperor with peace of mind, no longer reviewing memorials and summoning officials, and only spends his life in the palace.

"Li Longji got rid of Princess Taiping's party and forced the Supreme Emperor Li Dan to no longer participate in the government. With the assistance, he repaired Ming government internally to appease the people, and conquered the barbarians externally, which made the Tang Dynasty revive. Next. It's just that when the water is full, it will overflow, and when the moon is full, it will lose money. Li Longji was complacent, and gradually became arrogant, and finally led to a catastrophe.

"At that time, Concubine Wu Hui was in favor. Not only did she want to replace the queen and control the harem, but she also planned to have Li Longji abolish the prince Li Ying and make her own son Li Mao, the king of longevity, as the prince. For this reason, she framed Li Longji in front of Li Longji. Li Ying vainly wanted to ascend the throne as soon as possible to become emperor, and secretly plotted against him. At the same time, he colluded with the treacherous official Li Linfu internally and externally to push the longevity king Li Mao to the throne.

"Li Longji's queen has no sons, and the prince Li Ying was born to Concubine Zhao Li, ranking second among Li Longji's sons. Li Longji's eldest son, Li Tan, was born to Concubine Liu Hua. It stands to reason that Li Tan should be the prince. Ying's biological mother Concubine Zhao Li was originally a prostitute in Luzhou. She was good at singing and dancing. In terms of serving men, she was far superior to Concubine Liu Hua. Therefore, Li Longji loved her very much, and after taking her as his concubine, she became a favorite for a while. As the saying goes Concubine Zhao Li was favored by Li Longji, and Li Longji naturally looked at Li Ying differently. Concubine Liu Hua was the concubine chosen by Li Dan for Li Longji when Li Longji was the prince. Although he was the eldest son, Li Longji didn't like him. After Li Longji became emperor, Li Ying was canonized as the crown prince, and Li Tan only got the title of prince."

Li Qiufeng heard Li Zongyang say this, shook his head, and said in his mouth: "I don't know where Mr. Li heard this story, but Li has read a passage in Tang books, which is quite similar to what Mr. Li said. for being different."

Hearing what Li Qiufeng said, Li Zongyang raised his eyebrows, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a slightly sarcastic smile, and said in his mouth, "I would like to hear more about it."

Seeing Li Zongyang's appearance like this, Li Qiufeng knew that he looked down on him, so he deliberately asked, trying to make a fool of himself.It's just that he did read the record about Li Longji canonizing the prince in the book, so he was not afraid of Li Zongyang laughing at himself.He only heard him say in a deep voice: "Li remembers the biography of Li Linfu in the Tang book. Li Linfu was at odds with the later Suzong Emperor Li Heng. He was afraid that Li Heng would destroy his clan after becoming emperor, so he tried his best to persuade Emperor Xuanzong Don't canonize Li Heng as the crown prince. This treacherous minister secretly advised Emperor Xuanzong, claiming that the queen had no children, and that after Emperor Xuanzong abolished the queen, he did not make another queen. According to the sage's words, The eldest son, Li Tan, should be appointed as the crown prince. Emperor Xuanzong relied heavily on Li Linfu, and he could even be said to be obedient. He only listened to Li Linfu's persuasion to make Li Tan the crown prince, but he shook his head. He said to Li Linfu that when Li Tan was young, The royal garden was hunting, and his face was scratched by a fierce beast. If he was established as the crown prince, he would probably attract the contempt of the officials and the people, and would inevitably endanger the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Li thought that it was not that Emperor Xuanzong had never thought of making the eldest son Li Tan the emperor, but Li Tan's face was destroyed, and that's why he lost his crown prince."

After Li Qiufeng finished speaking, Li Zongyang sneered, and said in his mouth: "How can those poor literati know about such royal secrets? They just heard some legends, and then wrote them in the book to fool the world. It is not true. Li Longji didn't make Li Tan the crown prince just because he hated Concubine Liu Hua and favored Concubine Zhao Li, not because Li Tan lost his face at all!"

Li Qiufeng saw Li Zongyang's stern words, although he was not convinced in his heart, he didn't want to argue with him, so he kept silent.Murong Danyan was disdainful in his heart, thinking to himself that since this is a royal secret, how could you know about it?Brother Li read this story from a book, how can the things written in the book be false?
When Murong Danyan was thinking about it, he heard Li Zongyang continue to say: "Li Ying was conferred the crown prince by Li Longji, and it was not good for a while. But the good times didn't last long. After Li Longji accepted Concubine Wu Hui, Concubine Zhao Li fell out of favor. Ying is not as fond of Ying as before. If Concubine Wu Hui was an ordinary woman, even if Concubine Zhao Li fell out of favor, it would not endanger Li Ying's position as the crown prince. But Concubine Wu Hui is an ambitious woman who wants to replace the queen and control the harem , and want to push his own son Li Mao to the throne. As a result, Zhao Lifei and Li Ying's mother and son will not only lose their status, but even their lives will be in danger.

"After Concubine Wu Hui was favored by Li Longji, Concubine Zhao Li, Huangfu Deyi and other concubines who had been favored since Li Longji was the crown prince fell out of favor one after another, and most of them were thrown into the cold palace by Li Longji. If it was according to Concubine Wu Hui's plan, Concubine Zhao Li Waiting for someone to kill immediately. It's just that her archenemy at that time was the queen who was the mother of the world. Only when she defeated the queen could she control the harem in her own hands. So after Concubine Wu Hui sent Concubine Zhao Li and others to the cold palace, it was just Forbidding them to see Li Longji again did not kill them immediately.

"After Concubine Zhao Li and others were sent to the cold palace, Concubine Wu Hui, Li Linfu and others tried their best to deal with the Queen, and finally tricked Li Longji into abolishing the Queen. Since then, the harem has been under the control of Concubine Wu Hui, and no one can threaten Concubine Wu Hui's authority. Concubine Wu Hui Originally thought that since Queen Wang was abolished, he should be established as queen. Unexpectedly, Li Longji weighed and weighed again and again, but did not make her queen. In fact, since Queen Wang was abolished, until Li Longji died for no reason, he There has never been a canonized queen."

When Li Zongyang said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "Li Longji did not establish a queen, not because he felt guilty about the queen, but because Li Longji was always wary of the Wu family. It should be known that Concubine Wu Hui belonged to Wu Zetian. Grandniece and grandniece are close relatives of Wu Chengsi, Wu Sansi and others. Although Concubine Zhao Li had been thrown into the cold palace at that time, Prince Li Ying was still not abolished. If Li Longji made Concubine Wu Hui the queen, the court officials worried The restoration of the clan must be uneasy, and the crown prince's reserve position is unstable, which may shake the foundation of the court. Therefore, although Concubine Wu Hui tried her best, and Li Linfu worked hard for her, Li Longji still did not make Concubine Wu Hui the empress .”
