Li Congjia was very surprised: "Didn't it mean next year's autumn? Isn't it just January?"

The year hasn't passed yet, what are these people in a hurry for?Is it too early to start calling now?

Regarding Li Congjia's reaction, everyone was basically desperate, feeling that everyone was in a hurry, only Li Congjia was not in a hurry.

Even Zhou Ehuang was eager to become a queen, and Li Zhongyu knew that the crown prince was more noble than the crown prince, and only Li Congjia!

This is probably the typical emperor not in a hurry, but XX in a hurry.

The ministers began to break apart and tell him that we have set a time, but there are still many people who don't know!Therefore, in order to spread the news, other nationalities that have already been included must find a way to send people to watch the ceremony, especially in places farther away. They will walk for several months, wait for them to receive the news, and then prepare gifts for the new emperor, and then set off It will take several months to come to Chang'an, so you need to notify in advance.

Li Congjia calculated the time and said, "Then it's too early, let's talk about it after the new year."

Everyone turned their heads to look at Shi Xueting, and Shi Xueting only said: "In the grand ceremony, there will be sacrifices to heaven and Taimiao."

Li Congjia slapped his head and almost forgot about it, and then he said something that made the Ministry of Rites want to kill him directly: "Just hold the ceremony of conferring the empress and the crown prince together, and don't let everyone run away again." trip."

Li Congjia’s face turned pale at that time. Seeing that Li Congjia hadn’t spoken for a long time, Zhao Pu looked at the Minister of Rites sympathetically, weighed it up, and felt that he could speak as a minister of the Ministry of Industry, so he stood up and said: “At that time It’s just that the day when it’s time to ascend the throne has been calculated, and the day when the queen and crown prince can be conferred has to be recalculated, maybe this day will collide with the queen and the prince.”

Li Congjia spoke very well: "It's okay, just find a suitable day and celebrate it."

The ministers almost didn't swear, Li Congjia didn't care about their expressions at all, but when he saw Shi Xueting staring at him unkindly, he immediately admitted his cowardice, and said, "Try your best, don't divide your days too much, or I will be in trouble." It is the emperor, the lady is still the queen, what is this?"

Of course everyone agrees, these are small things, oh, among them, the matter of conferring the crown prince is probably a bit bigger, as for the queen, it is almost enough, anyway, now that the Tang Dynasty has no money, even if it wants to be grand, it will be impossible by then.

After Li Congjia finished speaking, the Ministry of Rites sent someone to deliver the entire enthronement process. Li Congjia took the documents and Shi Xueting nestled in the study to read.

As soon as Li Congjia read the first page, he asked without love: "Can't we keep it simple?"

Shi Xueting continued to look at it and said: "How can you highlight the Tang Dynasty's aura if it is not grand? This ceremony is not just for you, but also for the people of the world to see, so that everyone can feel at ease."

Li Congjia looked aggrieved: "But this is tormenting me. This whole day is just for the enthronement ceremony, and there will be another wave of sacrifices to the heavens and the Taimiao. It's a big dress."

People who haven't worn the ancient gown probably can't imagine how cumbersome the gown can be. The most important thing is that a crown can weigh a few catties. Oh, this point is much better for men than women. Those accessories are the ones that kill.

Shi Xueting patted his head and said, "Just pass with Renren."

After saying this, even Shi Xueting couldn't help but repent a bit, probably his family is the only one in the world who takes enthronement as a task to endure.

Li Congjia put the documents on the table. Seeing that he was not in high spirits, Shi Xueting asked a little strangely: "You don't want to be the emperor? No, you still want Dalang to ascend the throne directly? Don't even think about it, even if I agree Agree, the ministers are also unwilling to agree.",

Li Congjia shook his head and said, "It's not like that, it's just... I feel a little flustered."

Shi Xueting was puzzled: "Why are you so flustered?"

Li Congjia rubbed his hands and said, "Look, this...the higher the status, the greater the responsibility. In the future, I will become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The territory of the Tang Dynasty is still so big. What if I can't do well? Fight the world." It's easy to defend the world, but it's hard, why don't we take a few years to rest and recuperate, and don't rush to fight the Southern Zhou Dynasty and Khitan?"

Shi Xueting really wanted to pull the man over and shake his head to see what he was thinking, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Don't think so much, you are not the only one working, think more about others, It is inappropriate for your uncle and elder brother to always bear the title of Duke of the State, and now that the Tang Dynasty has ruled the world, it is basically a foregone conclusion, and it is time to divide the spoils in advance."

Li Congjia thought so too, he touched Shi Xueting's face and said, "But when I think of you getting nothing, I'm not happy."

Shi Xueting chuckled lightly: "If you were mine, I would be rich all over the world. If you leave me, what use would it be for me to want those things?"

Li Congjia was elated by what he said, hugged him and said, "I'm serious, maybe I'll abdicate sometime, and then I'm not the emperor, and I don't have anything, so you have to support me."

Shi Xueting kissed his forehead as an answer. In fact, he wished that Li Congjia had nothing and could rely on him to support him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to worry about waking up one day. Li Congjia suddenly woke up and told him that he was always young Frivolous, the two of them are getting older, and it's time to fulfill their obligations.

If this is the case, Shi Xueting would rather not have anything, so that when Li Congjia thinks of him in the future, he may feel guilty instead of bored.

Li Congjia didn't know that Shi Xueting was hiding the uneasiness deep in his heart. Shi Xueting concealed it so well that he couldn't see it at all. However, he knew how to put himself in another place. In this relationship, the two of them were actually worrying about gains and losses.

Shi Xueting doesn't want anything, if one day he doesn't like him, he can just wave his sleeves and leave, there is nothing for him to miss, so Li Congjia desperately wants to give him something.

One who wants to give to the other who doesn't want to, is giving himself a way out, but fortunately, so far, Li Congjia and Shi Xueting have no irreconcilable conflicts.

The news that Li Congjia was about to ascend the throne was spread. Although Dang Xiang was a little unhappy, he still gritted his teeth and prepared a generous gift. Their beating by the Khitan can be said to have been implicated by Li Congjia, but it was more because the Khitan wanted to move them a long time ago. There are three important military towns in the southwest.

It's just that Li Congjia suddenly appeared and crippled the three major military towns. The Khitan couldn't swallow this, and forced him to find an excuse to beat them. Otherwise, the Khitan should really fight Datang.

Datang did send troops to help them drive away the Khitan, so Dangxiang's feelings for Datang were very complicated.

But Suzhou and Ganzhou are much simpler. Although Li Congjia has returned to the Central Plains, this place is considered the land of Longxing after all. There has always been a lot of attention here. After letting them live a stable life, they gradually got used to obedience.

Similarly, Khotan also prepared some gifts. As a neighboring country, Khotan has a pretty good relationship with Datang, neither far nor close. However, Khotan saw that Datang was developing and growing, so he decided to take the opportunity to establish a good relationship with Datang. After all, they are now threatened by the Kara Khanate. The strength of the two countries is on par, but the people of the Kara Khanate have a kind of ruthlessness.

Probably because of different religious beliefs, people's thinking is also different. Anyway, the king of Khotan was worried that they would not be able to defeat the Kara Khanate.

Shi Shouxin of the Southern Zhou Dynasty also prepared things. The Southern Zhou Dynasty was rich and prosperous, and he prepared countless rare and strange games. The main purpose was to please Li Congjia and let him stop hitting himself. Shou Xin felt that being an emperor for one more day would give him one more day of enjoyment.

As for Khitan and Northern Zhou, Li Jixun has been tossed and lost his heart now. The first thing that comes to mind is to hold the enthronement ceremony, will Li Congjia want to amnesty the world?At that time, will the pace of attacking the Northern Zhou Dynasty be stopped?

After all, it's not good to see blood on the day of enthronement, right?

However, Yelujing of Khitan directly overturned the case in front of him. He has had a very rough life recently. The severe damage to the southwest defense line has already made him furious, and the sixteen states of Yanyun have become very unstable, falling into the hands of the enemy. There is more and more land, and now the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are still in the hands of Khitan, but only six prefectures.

How can Yelvjing be happy when ten states are gone like this?At this time, the enemy actually wants to be the emperor, and life is going smoothly, so it's no wonder he isn't angry!

Yelvjing gritted her teeth and said, "You want to ascend the throne smoothly? It's a good idea! At that time, I will send troops directly to Chang'an and see how you succeed in ascending the throne!"

Or how could you say that Yelvjing is crazy, he himself is not happy, he said he will fight, no matter how difficult it is, he just told the generals he selected - take Chang'an before next autumn!

The generals were so dumb that they ate Coptis chinensis. It was hard to tell. If Chang'an was so easy to fight, why did they attack the party before?

The problem is that they haven't even fought against his younger brother. The opponent has such a powerful weapon. It is the best state to be able to live in peace now. As long as Li Congjia doesn't easily declare war, they shouldn't provoke them. Generals know the truth, their emperor does not know.

Maybe he knew, but he was about to go crazy. Anyway, since he "resurrected from the dead", his temper has become more and more weird. Before that, he still had some trustworthy confidants, but during the period of his "death", his confidants turned their heads one after another. Others, even those who went to follow the minister he hated, made him feel betrayed even more.

Yelujing is now in a state where he doesn't believe anyone, and whoever is obedient can use whoever is obedient. Everyone is miserable by him, but they dare not be disobedient. If they are disobedient, they will be pulled out and chopped.

At this time, the ministers of the Khitan felt that the ruling method of the Central Plains was also good. Even if the emperor wants to kill people, he must find an excuse, and he can't move if he can't find an excuse.

Yelvjing killed as much as she wanted, without any worries at all.

When Li Congjia heard that the Khitan had started stationing troops on the border, the expression on his face did not change. Everyone in the Privy Council looked at Li Congjia reflexively, wondering if their king was looking for an excuse to postpone his enthronement time again?

No, this time nothing can make him shirk.

In the end, I heard Li Congjia ask with a strange face: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, we couldn't tell Li Congjia directly that we were worried about your convulsions, could we?

Li Hongji looked around and began to miss Shi Xueting. If Shi Xueting was here, he would always let him speak out and Li Congjia would not be unhappy.

Fortunately, Zhao Kuangyin was still there, Li Hongji saw Zhao Kuangyin standing there watching his eyes, nose, nose, nose and heart, so he couldn't help poking him, but Zhao Kuangyin was unmoved.

He didn't care much about Li Congjia's ascension to the throne. Anyway, even if Li Congjia ascended the throne, he would at most change to a better fief. Li Congjia was hanging in front of him.

Combining Li Congjia's lively physical fitness and their ages, Zhao Kuangyin is ten years older than Li Congjia, not one or two years old. He thinks his son can be a king of the country, so he doesn't even think about it.

Oh, unless he can make another big contribution, but now, it can be big enough to give him a title... unless he hits the Khitan's Shangjing and destroys the Khitan, otherwise it will be difficult.

So he has something to stand out from. What Li Hongji said before was correct. He has been a little carried away recently. He is used to Li Congjia casually. Maybe something will happen in the future, so let's play it safe from now on.

In the end, he wanted to protect himself wisely, so he needed someone willing to keep him silent.

Li Hongji poked him, but he didn't move. Li Jingda at the side gave Li Ping a wink, and Li Ping directly elbowed Zhao Kuangyin out.

Zhao Kuangyin was originally sitting, but he staggered two steps and stood in the middle, looking at Li Ping who was sitting behind him inexplicably.

Li Congjia asked kindly, "What do Zi Tinghou have to say?"

Zhao Kuangyin scanned around and found that everyone was looking at him, and suddenly realized: Shit, why are you teaming up to trick me?

Zhao Kuangyin said decisively: "I just didn't sit still, I have nothing to say."

The more you asked me to talk, the less I said, Zhao Kuangyin took two steps back and was about to sit back, but when he was halfway through the seat, he felt something wrong, and when he looked down, he found that his chair was gone!

He just squatted there maintaining the posture of Zamabu, and when he turned his head, he found that his chair was beside Li Hongji.

Zhao Kuangyin gritted his teeth, this group of people are going to have trouble with him, right?

Li Congjia looked funny, but now his acting skills are improving by leaps and bounds, he held back his smile and asked, "Zi Tinghou has always been straightforward, why are you hesitating today?"

Zhao Kuangyin said with a cold face: "It's not that I hesitate, it's just that everyone is worried about one thing, but I'm not worried."

Li Congjia asked: "What is it?"

Zhao Kuangyin simply stood up and said, "Everyone is worried that the enthronement ceremony will have to be rescheduled."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, although Zhao Kuangyin sold him, but he was talking about everyone, the law does not blame everyone, even if Li Congjia kept a black account, he would not record everyone.

Li Congjia understood immediately, and he said strangely: "Why did you change the time? Did something happen that I don't know about?"

Zhao Kuangyin snatched back the chair from Li Hongji, glared at Li Hongji by the way, and said angrily, "Isn't it because Yelvjing is going to send troops to attack Datang? He said he wants to seize Chang'an."

Li Congjia snorted coldly: "Who is he? If he wants to beat you, let him beat you? Could it be that everyone is living for nothing? Can't even keep Chang'an? If that's the case, what kind of foundation is there? Why don't I just go and prepare to die?" Forget about the city."

Fuck, why did the city of the dead even come out?At this time, it is impossible to pretend to be dead, so Li Hongji and Li Jingda quickly stood up and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, Yelujing is arrogant, I will not tolerate it."

Li Congjia nodded and said, "Don't worry about Yelvjing, he won't be able to dance for two days."

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help asking: "What does Your Highness know?"

Li Congjia shook his head and said: "It's nothing, it's just...Although Yelujing threatened to send troops, how could the Khitan people not understand the situation? The most important thing they need to do now is to stabilize Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures and lose Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures." , they are equivalent to losing more than half of their taxes, and then they still want to send troops to fight Datang? Are you kidding?"

After listening to Zhao Kuangyin, he always felt that he didn't get the answer he imagined, but he also felt that the answer was quite satisfactory.

But he decided not to continue asking, whoever likes to ask whoever asks!By the way, after the meeting is over, he must have two tricks with Li Jingda and Li Hongji, so many people are looking for him, don't think he is Wang's uncle and elder brother so he dare not beat him up, he is still the prince's future father-in-law!

Li Congjia had just commented that Khitan would first recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. Immediately afterwards, the Pang family, which occupied those ten prefectures, declared independence, and the patriarch of the Pang family directly ascended the throne and became emperor!

When Li Congjia got the news, he asked Shi Xueting very curiously, "Isn't it? How did I remember that you said that the family surnamed Wang who was fighting with you?"

Shi Xueting said meaningfully: "Didn't you say that the one who laughs last is the one who laughs the best, obviously the Pang family is the one who laughs last."

Li Congjia immediately understood that, to put it bluntly, although the Wang family had won against Shi Xueting, Shi Xueting deliberately released the water at that time.

However, the praying mantis catching cicadas and orioles were behind, and after Shi Xueting led people to evacuate, the Wang family thought they had great power, but they didn't want the Pang family to come out quietly, kill all the Wang family members, and then control With this army, they began to fight steadily against the Khitan army.

The Pang family felt that it was almost done, so they simply established the country and ascended the throne directly. The national name is Xiu. It is said that some ancestors were named Xiuwang. Li Congjia expressed doubts about this. He never remembered such a title in his mind.

However, these days, as long as one ascends the throne, one has to find an ancestor for oneself, which is not an accident.

Datang is actually quite calm about this, Xiuguo is really too small, with ten prefectures, Datang doesn't pay attention to it at all, the so-called emperor is not as important as their king.

The only thing that can make Datang more anxious is that the courtiers want to shake Li Congjia's neck and let him learn from Xiuguo Emperor Pang Qian. Don't delay such things as enthronement. See how vigorous and resolute he is?Since the founding of the country, he was enthroned, and the Tang Dynasty has no emperor until now, so he can only be called a great king. Everyone feels aggrieved.

Li Congjia had never heard of Pang Qian before. Looking through his resume, he found that this person was not very old, about the same age as Zhao Kuangyin. .

After reading it, Li Congjia's first sentence was: "Wow, is Yelujing going crazy again?"

When he cheated to death before, his people just found a new master, and they were all cleaned up by him like chopping melons and vegetables. This time, this old minister directly rebelled and became emperor. To fight Datang, or to fight Xiuguo first?

Li Congjia was going to sit quietly and watch the show, how would he choose Yelvjing?Of course, Bei Zhou still has to fight, and he has to fight quickly.

Li Jixun was badly beaten, turned his head and asked Khitan for help, but the person he sent was directly snapped by Yelvjing!

Li Jixun was very confused, didn't he cooperate well before?Why did you suddenly turn around?

Because Yelvjing began to vent his anger. He felt that things were not going well recently. Everything started when he sent troops to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He even began to wonder if Li Jixun had defected to Li Congjia a long time ago and deliberately came to trick him. Lee.

If Li Jixun knew Yelujing's thoughts, he would probably collapse. Even though his surname is Li, he didn't see that Li Congjia was more polite to him, but beat him even harder.

Li Jixun had no choice but to write to Shi Shouxin, but he didn't expect that Shi Shouxin would not form an alliance with him. Just kidding, Shi Shouxin now wished he could just sit aside and let no one pay attention to him.

In the end, Li Jixun had only one choice left, which was Pang Qian.

Pang Qian never refuses anyone who comes, he is now considered isolated and helpless, and he and Li Jixun just formed a mutual help study group.

Li Congjia didn't react when he found out, Yelvjing really started to go crazy over there, and his way of going crazy was also very special, this time he didn't threaten to hit anyone, and started to break the news crazily in the way of a letter.

Yelvjing's first call to action can be summed up in one sentence: I heard that Pang Qian, your wings are stiff. When you were on my bed, you were cute, weren't you?How did you come home like this?

This material is so strong that it shocked the people who eat melons all over the place.

Li Congjia, the one who eats the most, just said to Shi Xueting: "Yo, these two people are having an affair."

Then he was attacked indiscriminately by Yelvjing: Tang Wang, you should also be careful, don't turn your head back, you and your national teacher are in a romantic relationship, and when they turn around, they will pull up a team and pull you off the throne.

Li Congjia: ...

The author has something to say: Li Congjia: Come on, come on, Xue Ting sit down, we are going to eat melons and watch a show.

Yelvjing: Hehe, thinking too much.
