Four Nights Red House

The emperor proposed to be the prince of Zen, and this time is different from the last time. This was done without any discussion, and he put it bluntly and said that he wanted to pass on the throne!

This is indeed earth-shattering news!

As soon as Taiping left, before Prince Li Longji had time to come over, the ministers who were waiting for the morning court but had not seen the emperor gathered together in front of the main hall to ask for an audience.

Li Dan naturally knew what these people were here for, but he had made a firm decision, and he didn't intend to mediate with them at this time, so he ordered them to kneel down.

But the ministers did not leave for a long time, and when they saw that the emperor did not see him, they knelt outside the hall in unison, kowtowed, raised their voices to dissuade Lang Lang, anyway, they were saying one thing, that is, strongly admonishing the emperor Don't abandon the country and take the initiative to abdicate at this time!

Needless to say, the clues of this situation can be seen at a glance. It is obvious that Princess Taiping told the ministers just now when she walked out in a daze, with resigned thoughts floating in her heart.

And the people gathered outside the hall to worship at this moment are all Taiping Party members.

Li Dan had a headache from the quarrel, so he sent his personal eunuch out, and told them concisely what he had said to Taiping just now, such as "the sky shows signs" and "the sky goes well", and he also moved out It is the so-called lesson learned that when Emperor Zhongzong persuaded his elder brother to choose a virtuous son to take the Zen position, and the elder brother refused to listen, the result was not a good death.

The emperor came up with such a large set of reasons that seemed to be watertight, and the group of people outside the palace who advised them were really stupid!I have to see clearly an unquestionable fact, that is, how firm the emperor's heart to pass on to the crown prince is!

This is really not a good sign...

After a brief silence, they seemed to have hit it off and had a new discussion.One of them kowtowed and shouted to the hall: "The celestial phenomenon is mysterious, it may not be true, it was the sorcerer who deceived the crowd!"

"Yes!" Another voice echoed, "Even if the celestial phenomenon is really like this, there are many ways to crack it. Your Majesty doesn't need to just pass on the crown prince!"

It's really ridiculous, it's a thing that came out of nothing, they are the ones who say that the celestial phenomena must be taken seriously, and now they are also the ones who say that the celestial phenomena are unpredictable!Li Dan sneered in his heart, he really hated seeing this pair of faces, so he asked people to put down the curtain and just listen to their own chatter outside the hall.

At this time, the eunuch suddenly reported that the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace had come down!

Once a ray of light suddenly appeared on the tired eyebrows, the accumulated tiredness all over the body suddenly dissipated!Busyly asked the eunuch to let the prince in.

Longji wore a bright yellow court dress with begonias inlaid with golden borders, and his face was dignified and somewhat solemn.In the twilight, he limped along, and as soon as he came in, he knelt down in front of his father!

Li Dan walked towards him.

Before Li Dan could speak, Longji kowtowed again and again, and at the same time, his voice was slightly choked, and he expressed his heart in a hurry: "When I came this way, I knew something about it. This son-in-law is not qualified to be a crown prince, but the father gave him a prince because of his minor achievements!" Looking up here, those hazy eyes Looking at Li Dan, his voice did not change, "I feel uneasy just because of this. What's more, now that the father and emperor are in the prime of their life, they actually want to pass on the great position to my son. How can I take this responsibility? You Why do you have such an idea all of a sudden? Why is this?" He spoke very earnestly, the first of the three questions that followed was really self-effacing, but the last two were really asking Li Dan for an answer .

Of course, Longji's words were more than just a refusal, in fact, there was an element of temptation in him.

Although he feels that his wings are not full enough now, but when he thinks about the situation that is deteriorating day by day, the ambition and desire that are gushing in his blood are surging against each other!This fiery emotion almost burned him!

He was forced by Taiping to make every step of the way, and he was tortured by his father's Taiji way to a terribly difficult situation!In fact, sometimes he would also think, if he had been more ruthless back then, even killing his father's love, why not pass his father all the way to the end, and become the emperor himself, would all the current situation be different? Same?And such thoughts have appeared more and more frequently these days!

However, he couldn't understand his father's thoughts, and he didn't dare to be too sure.My father originally had a deep city, but after he became emperor, he was even better than Tian Yuan by three points!The last time my father summoned the ministers to discuss matters at night, and then he summoned himself to talk about the passing of the throne, but he only mentioned it once and then suppressed it. Until now, Longji didn't know that his father's intention at that time was to test himself, His heart was still hot for a while; similarly, he couldn't figure out how sincere his father's talk about passing on the throne was.So he didn't dare to make a straightforward statement first, so he had to decline first, and had to refuse first.In fact, when it comes to filial piety, it should be like this.

Li Dan himself has come all the way through the complicated and changeable imperial power disputes and the political curtain of conspiracies and calculations. He understands his son's current reaction very well, and it is also reasonable.

If it is said that the last time he proposed passing the position was just an immature idea, then this time, he was really not teasing Longji, he was extremely serious and determined. This idea has been implemented, and it has reached the point where no change is allowed the point!

Dan quietly watched Longji's sincere and affectionate speech, which was actually quite a bit of a scene. He raised his hand and patted his son's shoulder with a kind and warm face, and his tone was so sincere and tenacious, and he spoke earnestly: "My ancestral temple and society can be stable. , father was able to become this emperor, all because of your merits, why should Saburo be modest!" He paused for a moment, before Longji continued to answer, he nodded his head, with burning starlight floating in his eyes, his voice rose instantly , "Those who calm the world's disasters will surely enjoy the world's blessings!"

This violently raised voice carried the majesty of the emperor, as well as the sacredness and solemnity like a prophecy!The surrounding air seemed to freeze and tremble, and the courtiers who were kneeling and listening outside the hall trembled for a while!

Longji's chest was boiling, and his shoulders couldn't help heaving slightly.His father's words were so inspiring, as if the turbulent uneasiness in his heart, those superficial and uncertain suspicions, disappeared in an instant with the settlement of his father's words, leaving only a large expanse of open sea and sky Incomparably clear and clean!

Emotions were piled up here, and those excitement and high spirits were pushed to a very high peak by waves. Li Dan continued with this exciting momentum: "This throne must be yours. Father believes in you, and you must too." Believe in yourself!" When the last sentence fell, he seemed to be no longer an emperor, no longer just an emperor, but also a father, a man who cherished his son's heart, expressed his ardent hope and sincere appreciation The most ordinary, the most painstaking, and the greatest father!

"Royal Father..." Longji's heart was suddenly moved, his brows gathered together, and he called out subconsciously.

Li Dan interrupted him: "Today's phenomena are repeatedly showing that God's will is pointing to you, and that I will entrust this great task to you!" Then his tone calmed down, and there was a different kind of deep meaning hidden in his eyes, encouraging, There is certainty, sincerity, and all trust, but almost every word, "God's will and personnel have matured, why don't our father and son obey!" That is unquestionable firmness, that is the absolute majesty of the emperor, and the character is self-contained !

Longji's emotions are very unstable. Excitement and rationality, desire and family affection have turned into galloping dragons in his body, constantly filling, entwining and competing, but they are all evenly matched. He cannot quickly Sorted out a clear idea, just shook his head constantly.

Li Dan understood the entanglement in his heart, and continued to warm his heart: "You don't have to worry about it." He was determined not to be superficial and tempting. The unique intimacy and closeness between father and son, the tone has settled a lot, "If you can fulfill your filial piety before the father's death, why must you wait until the coffin to ascend the throne!"

Longji's mind froze for a moment, and his thoughts froze!

Dan turned around, raised his head and drew a warm arc on his lips, he smiled and shook his head: "I have been emperor for two years, but I have suffered a lifetime of punishment!" Then he let out a long sigh, as if Those old emotions overflowing in my heart, those frustrations and unhappiness that have fermented into old wine, are all relieved like clouds and smoke at this moment, "Now, I will hand over this ancestral foundation and splendid country to my son , watching him ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, watching him become the king of the world, there is nothing that makes me more happy and gratified than this!" The ending sound fell again, it was a kind of tenacity. The belief of shifting, the belief has taken root, and it is destined to be passed down from generation to generation, endlessly!

The twilight of the warm sun dyed Li Dan's smiling face, and also dyed the obvious moving expression between Longji's brows.

Suddenly, Longji understood his father's heart.The father's earnest words of filial piety before his death, in addition to truly expressing the state of mind that his father has longed for all along, with children wrapped around his knees and a harmonious family, also told him tactfully that at least he must receive the love of his father!

And then his father watched his son's enthronement during his lifetime, and his thoughts turned again, and he suddenly remembered the last words that Shangguan Wan'er left in the world and left to his father before he passed away.

In her father's arms, she said, "It's just... it's just a pity... I can't see you... the king of the world..." in my lifetime.At the last moment when her winking eyes closed forever and her beauty faded away, she said in a rambling voice, "If I also have a dream, then... this is the only one I have, a dream..."

Shangguan Wan'er did not realize her dream after all, is that so?Or maybe that dream has already come true, but it's just her remnants.It must be.

Nowadays, Li Dan also has a dream. What he has left now is the only, the only dream. Why not watch his son step by step towards the throne with his support, aspire to the imperial power, rule the country, and rule the world!

Love and understanding between loved ones melts everything.Then, let's not create a permanent regret between father and son today, let go of the lingering thoughts that the old man couldn't achieve!

At this time, the hallway was windy, and the bright yellow curtains in the room were shimmering and ostentatious.

In the twilight, Dan stretched his eyebrows, raised his hand suddenly, and helped Longji up: "Go out now, hold your chest up, and go out like a real emperor!" His solemn expression was fixed on his son's Between the faces, the tone is emphatic, encouraging and passionate!

The four eyes met, this time there was no longer any doubts, the heart in the chest that had been turbulent and floating for a long time suddenly settled down, finally settled down!

Longji nodded heavily, with tears hanging down his face, under his father's eager and encouraging, joyful and sincerely gratified eyes, he turned around, and then started to walk along the phosphorescent path. The paved and shining avenue is going out step by step.

The clusters of lights and shadows spread out in front of him and behind him, forming a tree of brilliance, the wind in the hallway and the bright yellow curtains fluttered and danced, as if composing a moving scene in the silent void space. An incomparable and blessed human hymn!

He walked out like this, step by step, facing the twilight and facing the sun.

This jade-like figure will forever be imprinted in the annals of Danqing, imprinted in the long river of history and the ruts that keep moving forward, soaked in vicissitudes, ups and downs, and the totem becomes a meaningful gesture, condensed forever for thousands of years At this moment, just like the universe, the universe, the mountains, the rivers, the sun and the moon, it is frozen for a long time and will never disappear!
