Four Nights Red House

Chapter 228 The Emperor Makes a Decision, the Family Banquet Turns into a Hongmen Banquet

Now that she understood the emperor's intentions, the doubts and speculations in Taiping's heart were naturally dissipated in an instant, and she had to make a long-term plan on how to talk to Li Dan and Longji for a while.

Longji stood up and saluted her.

Taiping was dazed, nodded to him, and immediately saluted Li Dan to say hello.

Dan waved his hand: "Today, our family members gather together to have a banquet and chat, so don't be too rigid about etiquette, lest everything be neglected!"

The two sat down tacitly.

Taiping looked at the sky, there was still a little while before noon, and his mind was moving, so he nodded to Dan again: "Since it's a family talking, sister Chen thinks it's better to chat while drinking tea. The meal will be free!"

Dan nodded: "There is an old saying, 'Don't talk when you eat, don't talk when you sleep', what my sister said is very true." Then he turned his eyes and gestured to the eunuch beside him.

The conscientious man understood what the emperor meant, hurriedly ordered people to serve tea, and then stepped aside, not bothering the three people to drink tea and talk.

Seeing Taiping with a serious look in front of him, but somehow forced to show this strong external feeling, Longji's heart slipped a trace of waves, but it was more because of the pressure on Taiping and his repeated forbearance. The resentment born in the compromise!

But it's very teasing, it's resentment, and he seems unable to seriously hate her, so this has become his repeated humility and her pursuit of victory: "The princess has become more radiant than before. !" His lips hooked slightly, and his voice was a little contemptuous.

The voice didn't sound very comfortable, Taiping knew that he was undermining her hard work of fighting with him for a while, and then she closed her eyes slowly, and the smile couldn't reach her eyes: "Hey, how can it be! Sanlang has grown up, aunt But I'm old." With a faint ending, he deliberately emphasized the word "aunt" to remind him that although he is not a few years older than him, she is his aunt after all, and this identity alone can overwhelm him.

Longji naturally understood the meaning of Taiping dialect.Not in a hurry to answer her words, he nodded and picked up the teacup: "Time is not forgiving, the more you go up this year, the less energy you had when you were young." The teacup She took a sip on her lips, without moving her eyes, "Auntie should pay more attention to rest, don't be exhausted!" The implication is to tell her that you have moved enough these days, you should be more peaceful up!

"Heh." Taiping smiled sarcastically, understood what he meant, and raised her hand to pour a cup of tea. She looked sideways in the curling tea smoke, "The energy is not as good as before, but the more you have traveled, the more you know how to fight. Reasonable. But the prince, young and energetic, don't just think about playing all day long. The government should take care of it, and you still have to help your father and emperor to share it!" Turning around, the words were facing Li Longji.

Longji heard the double meaning in Taiping's words, one was to tell him not to question his right to be a regency, and her qualifications were there to overwhelm him, there was nothing to say!At the same time, he also made a small report to Li Dan on the sidelines, saying that he, the prince, is still young after all, and he is just a child at heart, and he only wants to play all day long.

Speaking of this game, Longji's polo skills are really good. This polo sport can be said to be all the rage. During Zhongzong's time, there were Tubo envoys playing polo matches with Datang.Datang was originally the birthplace of polo but lost to the Tubo warriors.At this time, Li Longji led the team to play, and immediately he was vigorous and heroic, and he swung the club very nimbly. Much appreciated!

Now that Li Dan is on the throne, his polo addiction has not diminished.

It is recognized that Saburo is obsessed with polo and is good at polo. Speaking of which, his interest is also a healthy one, which is harmless.But since he was targeted by Princess Taiping and made a point out of it several times, he restrained his addiction to the game and didn't leave her any room for manipulation.

At the side, Li Dan couldn't sit still when he heard this. In the few words between his sister and his son, anyone could smell a different smell!After sitting for a while, they had already secretly confronted each other several times, which really made Li Dan helpless.He painstakingly summoned his younger sister and son to come here for a reunion in order to reconcile the relationship between the two, but right now, not to mention reconciliation, it seems that reconciliation is impossible!

Therefore, he had to make a long-term plan, and moved out the second policy that he had planned in his mind: "A warlock told me that a coup d'état is going to happen soon." A sudden sentence, without emotion.

Longji and Taiping are definitely in agreement, coincidentally!

The two of them were playing word games, derogating each other so much that they came and went, and when they got interested, they forgot that there was another person here, and they also ignored the appropriate occasion.At this time, I heard Li Dan's words out of the blue, and I was really shocked!

Longji is really sensitive these days, and he doesn't know what his father meant by saying this suddenly.If there is a matter of raising troops and banning the palace, then he, the crown prince, will be the first to be pointed at!Did his father say such a word so openly in front of him, did he have the intention of shaking the mountain, and did he become wary of him again?

It's hard to say, after all, Tang Long's coup brought too much shadow to his father, and the shock it brought to his father was also too great.If it is said that the father has become wary of his son since then, it is indeed possible... No, it is certain!So now, is she going to ask him to settle accounts and throw a grand banquet?

And Taiping's mind is also in panic!I knew that "someone said" was referring to me secretly. I just recommended the warlock yesterday and told Li Dan that a large army would enter the palace within five days?

The reason why she was uneasy was that yesterday Li Dan's reaction was obvious, he didn't believe it, and he resisted it.Now that Kankan has repeated the old saying and brought up such an incident, it can be seen that the target of the finger must be her Princess Taiping!

However, the development of the situation was not as serious as the two of them thought.Li Dan's look and expression did not appear solemn or harsh, but still had this incomparably peaceful, kind and warm appearance.

Not in a hurry, he raised his hand to hold a small cup of tea, looked up at the two of them after putting down the cup, and immediately smiled: "I know, this is a person with evil intentions who wants to alienate the East Palace." It was indifferent again. , without fluctuations.

Long Jidou felt relieved, wondering if his father was for him, after all he was for him.

But the expression on the Taiping plane was not only panic, but as soon as Li Dan said this, she collapsed!The emperor pointed it out so bluntly, it was someone with evil intentions who was sowing dissension, and the so-called "unhealthy" person was naturally referring to her!

Longji noticed Taiping's strangeness. In fact, he didn't need to think about who the person who made trouble for him would be. Even if he didn't attack him in person, the mastermind behind it must be Taiping!He was not surprised.

The air froze suddenly like this, and there was a slight embarrassment and a faint solemnity in the condensation.

Li Dan's posture was leisurely, his expression was natural, and his tone followed the trend: "So I decided to let the prince formally supervise the country. The appointment and dismissal of officials below the sixth rank and some minor punishments are all at the discretion of Saburo." Turning to look at his son, "This way As a result, when those people with different hearts see our father's kindness and son's filial piety, their hearts will naturally be at ease." He looked at Taiping again.

This is a matter of great importance and the final word is here!Such a big matter was said so calmly by Li Dan.

As a result, Longji and Taiping didn't react for a while, because they came so abruptly that they couldn't believe it!

It seemed that Longji was the first to react.There was a boiling warm current in his blood, and his mood became a little excited: "Father thinks so highly of my son, I am really moved, really..." He hesitated whether to get up and kneel down to Li Dan, Bye bye.

He was stopped by Li Dan.

Dan smiled and patted his son on the shoulder: "The crown prince is one with me. If you don't value you, wouldn't you question your father's vision?" That touch of sparseness turned into a natural intimacy between father and son.

Longji understood that his father didn't want him to be stuck between the monarch and his ministers at this moment, so he smiled, looked at Li Dan, and nodded heavily.

It was too flat and white, and I couldn't say a word for a while.

This is not over yet, Li Dan's actions in his heart are far more than that.Prince Jianguo is just part of his idea.

Dan looked at Taiping again, and it seemed that these words were meant for Taiping: "The current political situation is unstable. In order to prevent accidents, I decided to transfer Chengqi and Chengyi to the local governor." Nodding his head and raising his eyebrows, "Prince sister , you go to Luoyang to stay for a while, and you can come back when the situation stabilizes." The voice was not harsh, but the words were very well thought out, and there seemed to be nothing inappropriate.

"What?" As soon as these words came out, Taiping's suppressed emotions for a long time finally came out and she couldn't hold back anymore. She was terrified, "Is the emperor going to exile my sister?" She hurriedly got up , It's just one sentence.

Dan is still calm and calm, without any ups and downs: "Why is it exile? I am sympathetic to my sister. I am afraid that you will cause boredom in the chaotic political situation in Chang'an, so I have the right to live in Luoyang for a while." He raised his eyes and said, " Counting there, it is another hometown for us, and it is indeed a good place to go.” This is what Li Dan has always been best at, seeing the truth in the ordinary, and sharp in the soft.

Longji's thoughts were also certain, and he soon understood.He understood that it must be his own people who invited his father according to his own wishes... and his father was very happy to cooperate, because he complied with his own wishes and completely followed his own ideas!

Taiping's mind is really messed up at the moment, and there are only formations of chaos left for a while: "But..."

"Okay!" Dan pressed the end of her words, did not give her a chance to say more, and immediately got up, turned around and walked inside, "I'm tired, you all go back!" Entering through the window, shining on his bright yellow robe, it is extremely solemn and solemn.

It was an unspoken, subtle majesty.That is, the majesty of the emperor...
