President of Datang [Transmigration Book]
Chapter 157
When the news of Li Heng's ascension to the throne came, no matter whether it was Li Tan, Li Chu or even Ji He and Zou Shi, they all knew that sooner or later Li Heng would take back the military power in Li Tan's hands.
Unless Li Heng was able to shake his body and lead someone to kill Fan Yang and capture An Lushan alive, then it would be considered as a way to cover up Li Tan's achievements.
Otherwise, what does he have as an emperor?
Defending Chang'an and recovering Luoyang, these two things have nothing to do with him, he doesn't even have a decent military exploit.
Oh, it's not like there is no such thing, he can be regarded as suppressing the rebellion, but it's a pity that he killed his own younger brother Yongwang Li Lin.
But this merit is not as good as nothing, not to mention how long it took him to defeat Li Lin, who had no experience in leading the army, if Li Tan had a little more scheming, he would probably send someone out to spread the word that Li Heng dared not attack An Lushan and could only Get angry with your brother.
To be a little bit more heart-wrenching is that Li Lin poked Li Heng's painful foot, so he couldn't wait to even ignore the rebels, and led the soldiers to kill his younger brother first.
By the way, let everyone recall the reason for Li Lin's rebellion-suspecting that the prince usurped the throne and imprisoning the emperor.
To be honest, Li Heng is really full of flaws, if Li Tan wants him, he can pull him off the throne at any time.
However, Li Tan was too lazy to do this. At the beginning, it was too much for him to stand up. Now the situation is very good. Before that, Guo Ziyi and others sent him a letter, asking when to send troops to fight Fan Yang, and everyone should cooperate.
He thought about it for a while, even without himself, Guo Ziyi and others should be able to deal with this wave of rebels, so it is time for him to retire.
After all, it's time to end the long-distance relationship with Zhu Xieli, otherwise who can bear it if it goes on like this.
In the past, it was fine to be a magician when you couldn't find a partner, but now it's very difficult to have a partner, and then you are rushing to become a magician again, who can bear it.
So Li Tan directly wrote a memorandum, requesting to return to Liangzhou, and the reason was very ready: he had been away for a long time, and Liangzhou was supported by Chang Shi, and now he needed to go back to deal with Liangzhou's affairs.
Li Heng was already on his way back to Chang'an at that time, when he heard about Li Tan's memorial, he paused for a moment, and then reluctantly asked someone to send the memorial.
But even after sending it over, he didn't open it immediately, but was doing psychological construction for the memorial.
What he is very worried about now is that Li Tan will not cooperate. Li Tan is obviously out of his control now, and he even feels that if Li Tan wants to, he can usurp the throne in minutes.
He turned his head and looked outside, and when he thought that there were [-] troops around him, he felt a lot of comfort in his heart.
Of course, what comforted him even more was that Li Longji was in his hands. Even if Li Tan didn't cooperate, he could still let Li Longji give orders.
If he doesn't listen to the emperor's order, that's unfilial, and half of his good reputation among scholars will collapse.
After Li Heng was mentally prepared, he opened Li Tan's memorial.
When Li Tan asked to return to Liangzhou, he was taken aback for a moment.
Without harsh words, without making excuses to evade, or even accusing, Li Tan seems to have calmly accepted the deprivation of military power.
This made Li Heng a little at a loss. His first reaction was that Li Tan was dissatisfied. He returned to Liangzhou because he wanted to go back to his own territory to gather strength to rebel.
However, he soon realized that Li Tan no longer had the official position of Jiedushi, and he would not have military power when he returned, unless he recruited soldiers privately, but with He Zhizhang around, he would definitely not allow Li Tan to do so.
When Li Heng thought of this, he suddenly relieved half of his heart, and then ordered Chang'an to renovate the palace for Li Tan, and then wrote a letter to Li Tan, the words written were gorgeous and touching.
To sum up, let Li Tan go back to Chang'an first, and he will hold a celebration banquet later.
Li Tan's face turned green when he received this memorial. He rested the palace and held a celebration banquet...he seemed to see the rapidly decreasing money.
He finally couldn't bear it anymore and directly wrote a memorial to Li Heng: Have you forgotten that Chang'an's treasury can run away mice now?
There is also a celebration banquet!Is now the time to celebrate?What is there to celebrate?
An Lushan was killed by his son, An Qinghe was killed by Ashina's son, now Fan Yang is the head of Ashina Chaoyi, no one knows how long he can live, and the whole Fan Yang is still in the hands of others , is this a celebration?
Congratulations on killing Yong Wang Li Lin?
Li Tan resolutely rejected the proposal to renovate the palace, and then asked people to pack up and prepare to leave with a cold face.
He didn't hide the fact that he was leaving, and Luoyang, which was originally peaceful, became a little flustered.
The first ones to visit were Tian Shengong and Yuan Zhe. The two of them now hold the positions of Deputy Ambassador of Hexi Jiedushi and Deputy Ambassador of Longyou Jiedushi. Simply put, they are not Li Tan's subordinates anymore.
The two of them were also a little flustered about this sudden change, and in the end they could only hold one idea - to see what the king said, and they would do what they did.
As a result, Li Tan didn't respond for a few days, and now he finally reacted, and he was leaving?
What does this mean?Is this why you don't want them?
Both Yuan Zhe and Tian Shengong panicked, so they ran to the palace immediately.
At that time, Li Tan was asking people to send all his books to the academy, and it would be troublesome to take them away, so he might as well hand them over to Yan Gaoqing.
After seeing Yuan Zhe and Tian Shengong, he said: "The new Longyou Jiedu envoy and Hexi Jiedu envoy are already on their way to take office, you two get ready and bring your own soldiers to pay homage to the pier. Personally, I have never heard of their names, and they may have been promoted when they were in the middle of Shu, so I can't give you any advice, but you have military merits, so they probably won't mess with you in a leisurely manner."
After all, there was Li Tan standing behind Yuan Zhe and Tian Shengong, so anyone with a brain would probably not offend Li Tan.
Even if he knew that Li Heng had lifted his military power, he didn't have military power in his hands when Li Tan was stirring up troubles in Chang'an.
At that time, he dared to lift the table with Li Linfu and others, but now that he is offended, it is probably not as simple as lifting the table.
Both Yuan Zhe and Tian Shengong were dumbfounded when they heard this, and they asked after a while: "No, Your Majesty, you... just admit it like that?"
Li Tan put his own seals aside, and put aside the two seals belonging to the Jiedushi. Hearing this, he raised his eyelids and looked at them coolly, and said, "Otherwise? Do you still want to resist the edict?"
Yuan Zhe and Tian Shengong had no choice but to shut up. After a while, Tian Shengong said: "I will go with the king. I will go wherever the king goes."
After Yuan Zhe listened to it, he nodded quickly and said, "I...me too!"
Li Tan looked at them helplessly and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? You two are court officials and not my subordinates, and you still have a long way to go in the future. I don't lead soldiers now, what can you do here?"
Tian Shengong said: "I'm back to protect the king!"
Yuan Zhe was stunned for a moment and then said, "Then... I'll take care of the nursing home for the king!"
Li Tan: ...
Even if Li Heng deprived him of his military power, he was still a prince, so he had personal guards, and he was divided into internal and external positions according to his ability. These two occupied these two positions in minutes.
He shook his head helplessly and said: "If you really want to do this, I will be the one who will be scolded, you know? Well, Fan Yang hasn't been defeated yet, you two still have a place to play, let's talk about these things when the sky is peaceful .”
Yuan Zhe and Tian Shengong were obviously not happy, but Li Tan said that he would be scolded, so the two of them didn't dare to quarrel with him anymore.
Tian Shengong thought for a while and said: "Let's go to meet the new Jiedu envoy. Your Majesty's return to Chang'an is also a way to go. Let us escort you back."
Li Tan didn't object this time, and the two of them became happy again.
After finally sending the two of them away, Li Bai came again.
Li Tan reckoned that there must be a lot of people coming to look for him in the past two days, so he directly handed over the odds and ends to Qing Kong to clean up, and he was ready to concentrate on dealing with these people who came to ask various questions.
Compared with Yuan Zhe and Tian Shengong, Li Bai looks much calmer. He is still the romantic poet, but since he started to take charge of Luoyang, he has a little more smoke and fire.
Li Tan said that this change is good or bad, but Li Bai's poems are still very good, even to the point where they are hard to find, so he has nothing to worry about.
When Li Bai saw Li Tan, he cut to the chase and asked, "When will Your Majesty return to Liangzhou?"
Li Tan was silent for a while before saying: "At present, the saint is not very willing for me to go back."
Li Bai sneered: "He is worried."
Li Tan had no choice but to say: "Yes, after all, it's been a long time since I saw him. I was in charge of the administration of many places before. He has been in Sichuan for so long and doesn't know the changes in the Central Plains. It's normal to be worried, and I understand him."
Although Li Tan said he understood, his tone was full of indescribable sarcasm.
Li Bai felt relieved when he heard this, knowing that Li Tan hadn't reached the point of despair, he said, "Your Majesty, go back to Chang'an first, and I'll stay here...as long as I can."
Li Tan understood Li Bai's meaning, so he said: "Mr. Taibai, don't be nervous, Yan Xin is a gentleman."
But Li Bai said: "Even a gentleman has his own position, and his position... I can't understand it."
Li Tan shook his head: "He owes favors."
Li Bai sighed and said, "Your Majesty is still kind-hearted. Once such honest gentlemen feel that you have done something wrong, they will still object even if they owe you favors. At worst, you will die and give your life back."
I have to say that what Li Bai said is very possible, Li Tan smiled: "What are you worried about, I will not rebel, it is impossible to become their opposite, not to mention, I don't ask them to do anything for me now, As long as Yan Xin can help me look after Beiman Academy."
Li Bai said frankly: "This is also the purpose of my stay. If he is not suitable, I will replace him."
Li Tan was very relieved of Li Bai. After so many years, Li Bai had already stood by his side.
Even if Li Bai said that he was not from King Ning's lineage, no one else would believe him.
So Li Tan said solemnly: "Everything is left to Mr. Taibai."
Li Bai also nodded seriously and left the palace without saying anything.
Li Tan thought it was almost over, but as soon as Li Bai left, Yan Gaoqing came over.
The expression on his face was much more dignified than Li Bai's. After all, Beiman Academy had just started on the right track, and he had also read the textbooks that Li Tan gave him.
Although he didn't quite understand some aspects of the subject setting and tutorial setting, but after trying it out, he realized that it was indeed much better.
However, everything in Beiman Academy is based on Li Tan's stability. If something happens to Li Tan, it is hard to say what will happen to Beiman Academy.
Just like He Zhizhang back then, Yan Gaoqing now devotes her passion to the academy and the students.
Perhaps when others see these students, they think that these people are the backbone of the Ningwang family in the future, but Yan Gaoqing is much simpler, what he sees is the future hope of the Tang Dynasty.
Seeing Yan Gaoqing's expression, Li Tan smiled and said: "Mr. Yan, don't worry, I won't have anything to do in a while, it's just that I won't lead soldiers, but it's okay, fighting and killing all these years Yes, I feel that my temperament has changed a lot, and it’s not bad to live a peaceful life after I go back.”
It has to be said that his attitude has influenced many people virtually. If he is very angry, then the people on his side will have great resentment towards Li Heng.
But now he was very peaceful, Yan Gaoqing unconsciously stretched his brows.
He thought for a while that Li Tan was not yet 20 years old this year, and it was the time when he was most susceptible to influence. It was really not good to be exposed to these beatings and killings for a long time.
Of course, there are many soldiers of the same age as him, but even if those people change their temperament, it will not have much influence.
But Li Tan is different, he has a high position and weight... Well, the word weight may be debatable now, but the high position is true, and in addition to the fact that many people have gathered around him, his attitude will always be invisible. Affects many things.
Thinking about it this way, it wouldn't be a bad thing to let him live a peaceful life and get rid of the hostility in his chest.
It's just that she thought this way out of the interest of Li Tan, and from the perspective of the current world situation, Yan Gaoqing still couldn't help but snorted coldly: "I really don't know what the sage is thinking."
Li Tan could hear Yan Gaoqing's dissatisfaction with Li Heng, but he pretended not to hear it, and just said: "I will leave Luoyang for a while and I won't go too far. I am still in Chang'an. If there is anything, Mr. Yan can go first." Ask Mr. Taibai for help, if it still doesn’t work, write to me again, as for money, you don’t have to worry, when the sage returns to Chang’an, I’m sure I won’t need to spend in Chang’an, and I should have more money by then Come and invest in the academy."
When he said this, Yan Gaoqing remembered that he had heard that all the expenses of Chang'an were borne by Li Tan alone.
And when chatting with people, he even heard that Li Tan was very poor for a while, even to the point where he lived in the palace but ate wild vegetables.
Yan Gaoqing was even more dissatisfied with Li Heng. This saint didn't want to compensate and appease King Ning first. The first thing he did was to deprive King Ning of his military power.
Seeing that Yan Gaoqing's brows were furrowed again, Li Tan changed the topic calmly.
The magnanimity I have shown is to prevent people from suspecting that he is a traitor. After all, Li Heng has made a skeptical gesture.
Or those people didn't misunderstand, but prepared various responses in advance, just waiting for his reaction.
In this case, he had to be obedient, not to protect himself. As a prince, he would have nothing to do unless he really rebelled.
This is also the most criticized part of Li Heng's killing of Li Lin. As a brother, even if the younger brother really rebelled, it can only be confined.
All he can decide is the life and death of his own son.
But Li Tan needs to protect the people who have followed him through life and death all these years. If he really makes Li Heng feel a sense of crisis, and Li Heng can't move him, but he has to start with the people around him one by one, how many can he save?
That's why he acted so peacefully. Of course, being peaceful doesn't mean he really doesn't do anything. At least it's easy to hold Li Heng back.
The more people like Yan Gaoqing, the less Li Heng dared to move, and if Yan Gaoqing didn't think highly of Li Heng, even if it wasn't fatal to him, it would affect many people invisibly.
After Li Tan talked with Yan Gaoqing about the development of the academy, he looked at the sky and left him for a meal, and then cared about his body before sending him out under Yan Gaoqing's moved eyes.
In the early morning of the next day, Li Tan was ready to go on the road just after dawn. Anyway, he had to leave sooner or later, and Li Heng was not sure what to do after a long delay.
As a result, as soon as the carriage left the palace, Tian Shengong, who was guarding him on horseback, stammered and said, "Great... lord, this..."
Li Tan asked a little strangely, "What's wrong?"
Yuan Zhe at the side also stammered a bit: "You...you can come and see for yourself."
Li Tan poked his head out with a strange expression on his face, only to find that there were people standing on both sides of the main road in Luoyang City at this time, and if it was in the middle of the night, he might be able to get him out of the way.
These people were very quiet before, but the moment Li Tan poked his head out, they started to make noise, some shouted "King Ning, have a good journey", some shouted "King Ning, thousand years old", and some even asked Li Tan when Back to Luoyang.
Li Tan listened attentively to these words, and he found that in such a short period of time, the people of Luoyang had regained their vitality.
He got out of the carriage and got up, waved to the people and said, "Everyone, go back, don't send them off, aren't you sleepy so early?"
When he came out, everyone was waiting for him to speak, originally everyone thought he would say something grand.
Some people even know that Prince Ning's writing is brilliant and might be able to be translated into words, and many people are ready to transcribe.
It turned out that he didn't expect him to be so down-to-earth when he opened his mouth.
Suddenly, many people laughed and shouted: "Not sleepy!"
Li Tan said helplessly: "Okay, you guys are not sleepy, I am sleepy, let's go, I have to go back to catch up on sleep."
After he finished speaking, he returned to the carriage, and listening to the lively laughter outside, a smile appeared on his face.
From the very beginning when he planned to send troops in violation of the regulations, what he had in mind was his family, his country and the world.
In fact, he didn't have such a great sentiment at first, but he just thought he had the ability, so he just gave it a try.
What's more, it is Chang'an. Although he has regarded Liangliang Prefecture as his own territory, Chang'an is probably the same as his hometown.
When he is able, he can keep his hometown, so why not go?
So he never thought about how the common people would view it, or how history would view it.
Therefore, he always seeks to have a clear conscience in everything he does. As for whether he can leave his name in history, whether he will leave his name in history or not, he doesn't care much.
But now the people told him that they remembered and were grateful for everything he did.
At that moment, the depression in Li Tan's heart eased a little.
After all, what Li Heng did caught him off guard, so he must be a little unhappy.
Now this unhappiness has decreased a bit, but it has not disappeared, but it is enough for him to relax and fall asleep.
Before falling asleep, he thought: Fortunately, these ordinary people didn't have any Wanmin Umbrella, otherwise Li Heng might really go crazy.
Because he was not in a hurry, Li Tan wandered on the road for half a month before reaching Chang'an.
Even so, he arrived earlier than Li Heng.
When he arrived in Chang'an, he was still warmly welcomed by the people. Li Tan, who had experienced a battle, was calm.
It's just that when he returned to the palace, he still felt that something was wrong.
Ji He and the others did not run to the gate of the city to join in the fun, but all ran to the palace.
Li Tan felt a little helpless when he saw them: "You don't work hard, why come to my place? Go and go, go and do what you should do."
It's not Li Tan's style to blow people up as soon as they meet.
The few people who were worried at first were cast a shadow over their hearts in an instant—His Royal Highness King Ning must have sensed the danger, so he let himself draw a clear line with him.
However, would Ji He and Zou Shi avoid it because of this kind of thing?
Ji He said with a smile: "It's already rude not to greet His Highness in person, and it's better to come to the door to apologize."
Zou Shi also said with a smile: "We have already prepared the reception banquet. Oh, don't worry, Your Highness. It's organized by His Royal Highness, and it's in the East Palace. We're here to let you know. Let's go now."
Li Tan was stunned for a moment when he heard the words His Royal Highness, and his first reaction was Li Heng, but soon he realized that the current prince is Li Chu.
Li Chu didn't have to avoid it, he simply agreed and said: "Okay, let me rest for a while and go there at night."
Ji He and the others came here because they were actually worried about Li Tan's mental state. After all, Li Heng's move was really unkind, and Li Tan was also passionate about killing An Lushan at the beginning.
Although An Lushan is dead, the rebels are still there. Li Tan's people have already attacked Fan Yang, so they must want to put down the rebellion directly in one go.
As a result, Li Heng came to this move, no matter who it was, he probably would have vomited to death.
Now that they saw Li Tan, they were relieved to find that Li Tan seemed to be in a very stable mood and in a good mood.
After they all left, Li Tan wandered around the palace and found that although he had rejected the proposal to renovate the palace, Li Heng still did not take back his intention.
Today's palace has more than twice the original size - Li Heng directly asked people to merge the mansion where An Lushan used to live in the opposite side into the palace, and then take a rest.
A palace of this size has exceeded the standard too much. If it was placed before the Anshi Rebellion, even if Li Longji did this, some people would probably oppose it to the end.
However, there is not a single voice of opposition from the ruling and opposition parties.
Li Tan thought about it, if Li Heng had a bigger heart, he would probably feel that he had more control over the court, and no one would object to such an excessive reward.
If he was narrow-minded, he might feel that Li Tan was overshadowing the sky.
When he thought of this, he had a headache, and he simply didn't want to think about it, and made preparations to talk to Li Chu when he went back to the banquet.
After all, Li Chu seemed to have a lot of dissatisfaction with his father.
It has nothing to do with the issue of filial piety, it is just the impulse of a reliable person to correct it immediately after seeing what an unreliable person has done.
Unfortunately, he couldn't fix it.
Li Chu was also suffocated. At the reception banquet in the evening, at the beginning, everyone was still sympathetic, congratulating Li Tan that he will get more rewards in the future.
After drinking for three rounds, the scene became a bit of a group of demons dancing wildly.
At the beginning, these people scolded An Lushan, and then from An Lushan, they scolded the important officials of the puppet Yan, and then they scolded some well-known leading parties.
At the end, it starts to... criticize current affairs.
What can today's politics have?After Li Heng ascended the throne, he officially gave Chang'an two orders: the first one is that he is coming back, and he asked to repair the palace, and let people prepare a celebration banquet.
The second is to have someone repair the palace for Li Tan.
Everyone acquiesced the next day. After all, all Chang'an officials felt wronged for Li Tan.
It's just that their grievances and Li Tan's grievances are not at the same point.
Li Tan was wronged because Li Heng refused to let him go back to Liangzhou, and he still wanted to have a long-distance relationship with his big cat.
What these people feel wronged is that Li Tan has great ambitions, but in the end he was suppressed artificially.
Li Tan knew what they were thinking, but he couldn't explain it. He couldn't say that I hadn't thought about completely eradicating the rebels, could he?It can only be the default.
Li Tan heard these people express their dissatisfaction with Li Heng cryptically with various elegant words, and some even started to compose poems, his face turned green immediately.
If Li Heng finds out about this, no one on the scene will even think about running away.
Holding the wine glass, Li Tan pondered whether to persuade him, although Li Heng hasn't come back yet, don't be so presumptuous, right?
Just when he was thinking, Li Chu slipped to his side without making a sound, and asked in a low voice, "What's your plan next?"
Li Tan turned to look at him and said, "Don't meddle in my business."
Li Chu was a little unhappy: "How can I do that?"
The two of them can be regarded as comrades-in-arms at any rate. After all, under such a great pressure before, they were the two of them who carried it together. One fought in the front, and the other coordinated in the back. They cooperated seamlessly.
Now that Li Tan might be in danger, he naturally couldn't let it go.
Li Tan filled his wine glass and said, "Why not? Let me tell you the truth, your status is not stable now, but every sage has some thoughts about you, and I'm afraid you will be in danger at that time."
Li Chu was half sober when he heard his words.
After thinking about it carefully, he understood Li Tan's meaning. Although he was Li Heng's eldest son, he was a concubine, and of course Li Heng didn't have any concubine now.
The original Concubine Wei was not a Crown Princess because of her divorce, so naturally she could not be a queen, and the child she gave birth to was not considered a legitimate son.
But the problem is that no one knows if Li Heng will dote on a concubine and make him queen, then that woman's child will be a legitimate son.
Li Chu's contribution is very great, but because of his great contribution, the people of Chang'an now know the prince better.
In case Li Heng felt that he was a threat, maybe he really wanted to abolish the prince.
Li Chu held his cup and thought for a long time, then looked up at Li Tan and suddenly asked, "What are your plans? Help me as much as you can."
Although he knew that Li Tan was telling the truth, he had to say that Li Chu also had his own considerations.
Li Tan has helped him too much, if he shrinks back at this time, he will not be able to overcome the hurdle in his heart.
And it's not that he looks down on his father, but he feels that his father may be a little swollen because he is surrounded by people who support him. When he returns to Chang'an, he finds that the court is not what he says, and after hitting a wall a few times, Probably to be honest.
Li Tan thought for a while and said, "I want to go back to Liangzhou."
Li Chu asked directly: "How long do you want to stay?"
Li Tan said with a smile: "Naturally, you can stay as long as you can."
Li Chu lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, "It's not that difficult. Liangzhou is not a rich place, and there are threats from Tubo and Turks. No one likes to go except you."
Li Tanxin said that it was before that I was not rich, otherwise, what do you think I relied on to support Chang'an and Luoyang?
But he didn't refute it, and let everyone think that Liangzhou is poor, so that Li Heng would not think that he would be a threat to go back.
That night, everyone almost reached a consensus through the drunken madness - when Li Heng came back, he must be restrained, at least taught him that being an emperor must be tolerant.
The emperors of the Tang Dynasty are generally more generous. Even when Li Longji was clear-headed in his early years, he could really tolerate those officials.
That is to say, in the later stage, when he was old, indulged in pleasure, and was more comfortable in controlling the court, he gradually began to get used to nonsense.
Now Li Heng is a newly appointed emperor, who has no outstanding achievements before, and who has no impression of being wise and powerful in everyone's mind, just wants to learn from his father?
Don't even think about it!
Li Tan was a little puzzled when he saw that Li Chu hired a bunch of officials he was not familiar with. He was not familiar with these people.
It is only now that I know that this reception banquet is to welcome him, but more importantly, it is to provide everyone with an opportunity to form an alliance.
These officials all returned to Chang'an later. They were all upright officials before, and many of them even Li Longji had nothing to do with them.
If Li Heng didn't want to gain the reputation of a tyrant, he certainly couldn't move them.
These people more or less expressed goodwill towards Li Tan.
If Li Tan still has soldiers in his hands and continues to control Chang'an and Luoyang, they may be wary of Li Tan, thinking that Li Tan has too much power and needs to be restricted.
But now Li Tan, who is a hero, has been treated unfairly, and he had no signs of being a powerful minister before, so these people naturally sided with him.
Even Li Tan didn't dare to offend these people, so he had to use ten times as much effort to fool Yan Gaoqing to fool these veterans.
At the same time, I still have a little sympathy for Li Heng in my heart. Compared with these people, he is too tender.
And he saw people from more than one family here, that is to say, after this round of reshuffle, these families will also roll up their sleeves and start fighting for benefits. If Li Heng can't hold back at that time, it will be a good show. .
It's a bit of a schadenfreude to think about it.
After Li Tan communicated with everyone, Li Chu said to him before he left: "The account books have been sorted out, and I will show Dad when he comes back."
When Li Chu said this, he had a look of reassurance that he would not let you suffer. Li Tan couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it, and began to wonder who belonged to whom.
Your Royal Highness, you are really cheating, do you know that?
After this welcome banquet, Li Tan began to live in seclusion, creating an illusion that he did not want to be at the center of public opinion.
However, the more he is like this, the more people pay attention to and analyze him.
In the end, there were even people who even went out a few times, what he did, and then analyzed his current thoughts through these behaviors, it's simply!
Just when Li Tan was thinking that if Li Heng didn't come back, he couldn't help but kill him and rush him back, Li Heng finally arrived.
Li Tan and Li Chu are two people, one is Li Heng's brother who is most suitable to be used as an archway, and the other is the prince, so naturally they have to go out of the city to meet them.
However, when Li Heng came back, it was just in time for the winter solstice, and it was so cold that Li Tan was almost freezing to death.
Li Tan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Heng's special guard of honor for the emperor, but when the guard of honor got closer, he found that Li Heng's guard of honor was far worse than Li Longji's back then.
If we insist on the difference, Li Longji's ceremonial guards are made of top-notch genuine materials, while Li Heng... is full of the cheap feeling of imitations from top to bottom.
Li Tan was desperate when he saw how poor Li Heng was, and guessed that Li Chu's account books were useless, and Li Heng probably couldn't afford to pay him back.
Li Heng came out of Luan Yu, and after having a question-and-answer session with the ministers, he waved to Li Tan before going back and said, "Come on, 31 Lang."
Li Tan raised his eyelids and looked at it, thinking: OK, it's not too stupid.
Knowing that pulling him to show his favor first can at least calm people's hearts to a certain extent, it's okay.
Li Tan thought so, and followed Luanyu.
After entering, he glanced at the furnishings and found that although the outside looked cheap, everything inside was good.
He couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and said to himself that he was acting, okay, he's a little clever, but if that's the case, don't blame me for asking you to pay.
Li Tan, who was thinking about something in his heart, sat down while coping with Li Heng's question.
After he sat down, Li Heng asked, "What's important in Chang'an recently?"
Li Tan sneered in his heart, what could be important?Let Li Chu solve it, if Li Chu can't solve it, you can't solve it either.
But Li Tan didn't say that, he just said with a slightly dignified face: "The biggest thing is the return of the ministers, and there are many children from the family. Before the saint didn't come back, they were fine. Now that the saint is back, I'm afraid... ..."
Li Heng understood instantly after hearing this, and couldn't help being very moved and said: "It's still 31 Lang who is facing me."
Li Tan rolled his eyes in his heart, and said he was sorry, I wasn't after you, but I was afraid that you wouldn't move fast enough.
What the imperial court needs most now is to get through this period of time safely, and then Li Heng will slowly take back his rights.
If he is impatient now and moves too many people, no one knows what will happen then.
However, judging from Li Heng's eagerness to deprive him of his military power, this man probably has no patience, or his patience has been exhausted dealing with Li Longji in the past few decades.
After Li Tan said a few words modestly, Li Heng said directly: "Liangzhou is bitterly cold, I don't want 31 Lang to suffer in the past, so how about you choose someone you trust to go to Liangzhou to be the governor?"
Li Tan: I really think highly of you!

Unless Li Heng was able to shake his body and lead someone to kill Fan Yang and capture An Lushan alive, then it would be considered as a way to cover up Li Tan's achievements.
Otherwise, what does he have as an emperor?
Defending Chang'an and recovering Luoyang, these two things have nothing to do with him, he doesn't even have a decent military exploit.
Oh, it's not like there is no such thing, he can be regarded as suppressing the rebellion, but it's a pity that he killed his own younger brother Yongwang Li Lin.
But this merit is not as good as nothing, not to mention how long it took him to defeat Li Lin, who had no experience in leading the army, if Li Tan had a little more scheming, he would probably send someone out to spread the word that Li Heng dared not attack An Lushan and could only Get angry with your brother.
To be a little bit more heart-wrenching is that Li Lin poked Li Heng's painful foot, so he couldn't wait to even ignore the rebels, and led the soldiers to kill his younger brother first.
By the way, let everyone recall the reason for Li Lin's rebellion-suspecting that the prince usurped the throne and imprisoning the emperor.
To be honest, Li Heng is really full of flaws, if Li Tan wants him, he can pull him off the throne at any time.
However, Li Tan was too lazy to do this. At the beginning, it was too much for him to stand up. Now the situation is very good. Before that, Guo Ziyi and others sent him a letter, asking when to send troops to fight Fan Yang, and everyone should cooperate.
He thought about it for a while, even without himself, Guo Ziyi and others should be able to deal with this wave of rebels, so it is time for him to retire.
After all, it's time to end the long-distance relationship with Zhu Xieli, otherwise who can bear it if it goes on like this.
In the past, it was fine to be a magician when you couldn't find a partner, but now it's very difficult to have a partner, and then you are rushing to become a magician again, who can bear it.
So Li Tan directly wrote a memorandum, requesting to return to Liangzhou, and the reason was very ready: he had been away for a long time, and Liangzhou was supported by Chang Shi, and now he needed to go back to deal with Liangzhou's affairs.
Li Heng was already on his way back to Chang'an at that time, when he heard about Li Tan's memorial, he paused for a moment, and then reluctantly asked someone to send the memorial.
But even after sending it over, he didn't open it immediately, but was doing psychological construction for the memorial.
What he is very worried about now is that Li Tan will not cooperate. Li Tan is obviously out of his control now, and he even feels that if Li Tan wants to, he can usurp the throne in minutes.
He turned his head and looked outside, and when he thought that there were [-] troops around him, he felt a lot of comfort in his heart.
Of course, what comforted him even more was that Li Longji was in his hands. Even if Li Tan didn't cooperate, he could still let Li Longji give orders.
If he doesn't listen to the emperor's order, that's unfilial, and half of his good reputation among scholars will collapse.
After Li Heng was mentally prepared, he opened Li Tan's memorial.
When Li Tan asked to return to Liangzhou, he was taken aback for a moment.
Without harsh words, without making excuses to evade, or even accusing, Li Tan seems to have calmly accepted the deprivation of military power.
This made Li Heng a little at a loss. His first reaction was that Li Tan was dissatisfied. He returned to Liangzhou because he wanted to go back to his own territory to gather strength to rebel.
However, he soon realized that Li Tan no longer had the official position of Jiedushi, and he would not have military power when he returned, unless he recruited soldiers privately, but with He Zhizhang around, he would definitely not allow Li Tan to do so.
When Li Heng thought of this, he suddenly relieved half of his heart, and then ordered Chang'an to renovate the palace for Li Tan, and then wrote a letter to Li Tan, the words written were gorgeous and touching.
To sum up, let Li Tan go back to Chang'an first, and he will hold a celebration banquet later.
Li Tan's face turned green when he received this memorial. He rested the palace and held a celebration banquet...he seemed to see the rapidly decreasing money.
He finally couldn't bear it anymore and directly wrote a memorial to Li Heng: Have you forgotten that Chang'an's treasury can run away mice now?
There is also a celebration banquet!Is now the time to celebrate?What is there to celebrate?
An Lushan was killed by his son, An Qinghe was killed by Ashina's son, now Fan Yang is the head of Ashina Chaoyi, no one knows how long he can live, and the whole Fan Yang is still in the hands of others , is this a celebration?
Congratulations on killing Yong Wang Li Lin?
Li Tan resolutely rejected the proposal to renovate the palace, and then asked people to pack up and prepare to leave with a cold face.
He didn't hide the fact that he was leaving, and Luoyang, which was originally peaceful, became a little flustered.
The first ones to visit were Tian Shengong and Yuan Zhe. The two of them now hold the positions of Deputy Ambassador of Hexi Jiedushi and Deputy Ambassador of Longyou Jiedushi. Simply put, they are not Li Tan's subordinates anymore.
The two of them were also a little flustered about this sudden change, and in the end they could only hold one idea - to see what the king said, and they would do what they did.
As a result, Li Tan didn't respond for a few days, and now he finally reacted, and he was leaving?
What does this mean?Is this why you don't want them?
Both Yuan Zhe and Tian Shengong panicked, so they ran to the palace immediately.
At that time, Li Tan was asking people to send all his books to the academy, and it would be troublesome to take them away, so he might as well hand them over to Yan Gaoqing.
After seeing Yuan Zhe and Tian Shengong, he said: "The new Longyou Jiedu envoy and Hexi Jiedu envoy are already on their way to take office, you two get ready and bring your own soldiers to pay homage to the pier. Personally, I have never heard of their names, and they may have been promoted when they were in the middle of Shu, so I can't give you any advice, but you have military merits, so they probably won't mess with you in a leisurely manner."
After all, there was Li Tan standing behind Yuan Zhe and Tian Shengong, so anyone with a brain would probably not offend Li Tan.
Even if he knew that Li Heng had lifted his military power, he didn't have military power in his hands when Li Tan was stirring up troubles in Chang'an.
At that time, he dared to lift the table with Li Linfu and others, but now that he is offended, it is probably not as simple as lifting the table.
Both Yuan Zhe and Tian Shengong were dumbfounded when they heard this, and they asked after a while: "No, Your Majesty, you... just admit it like that?"
Li Tan put his own seals aside, and put aside the two seals belonging to the Jiedushi. Hearing this, he raised his eyelids and looked at them coolly, and said, "Otherwise? Do you still want to resist the edict?"
Yuan Zhe and Tian Shengong had no choice but to shut up. After a while, Tian Shengong said: "I will go with the king. I will go wherever the king goes."
After Yuan Zhe listened to it, he nodded quickly and said, "I...me too!"
Li Tan looked at them helplessly and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? You two are court officials and not my subordinates, and you still have a long way to go in the future. I don't lead soldiers now, what can you do here?"
Tian Shengong said: "I'm back to protect the king!"
Yuan Zhe was stunned for a moment and then said, "Then... I'll take care of the nursing home for the king!"
Li Tan: ...
Even if Li Heng deprived him of his military power, he was still a prince, so he had personal guards, and he was divided into internal and external positions according to his ability. These two occupied these two positions in minutes.
He shook his head helplessly and said: "If you really want to do this, I will be the one who will be scolded, you know? Well, Fan Yang hasn't been defeated yet, you two still have a place to play, let's talk about these things when the sky is peaceful .”
Yuan Zhe and Tian Shengong were obviously not happy, but Li Tan said that he would be scolded, so the two of them didn't dare to quarrel with him anymore.
Tian Shengong thought for a while and said: "Let's go to meet the new Jiedu envoy. Your Majesty's return to Chang'an is also a way to go. Let us escort you back."
Li Tan didn't object this time, and the two of them became happy again.
After finally sending the two of them away, Li Bai came again.
Li Tan reckoned that there must be a lot of people coming to look for him in the past two days, so he directly handed over the odds and ends to Qing Kong to clean up, and he was ready to concentrate on dealing with these people who came to ask various questions.
Compared with Yuan Zhe and Tian Shengong, Li Bai looks much calmer. He is still the romantic poet, but since he started to take charge of Luoyang, he has a little more smoke and fire.
Li Tan said that this change is good or bad, but Li Bai's poems are still very good, even to the point where they are hard to find, so he has nothing to worry about.
When Li Bai saw Li Tan, he cut to the chase and asked, "When will Your Majesty return to Liangzhou?"
Li Tan was silent for a while before saying: "At present, the saint is not very willing for me to go back."
Li Bai sneered: "He is worried."
Li Tan had no choice but to say: "Yes, after all, it's been a long time since I saw him. I was in charge of the administration of many places before. He has been in Sichuan for so long and doesn't know the changes in the Central Plains. It's normal to be worried, and I understand him."
Although Li Tan said he understood, his tone was full of indescribable sarcasm.
Li Bai felt relieved when he heard this, knowing that Li Tan hadn't reached the point of despair, he said, "Your Majesty, go back to Chang'an first, and I'll stay here...as long as I can."
Li Tan understood Li Bai's meaning, so he said: "Mr. Taibai, don't be nervous, Yan Xin is a gentleman."
But Li Bai said: "Even a gentleman has his own position, and his position... I can't understand it."
Li Tan shook his head: "He owes favors."
Li Bai sighed and said, "Your Majesty is still kind-hearted. Once such honest gentlemen feel that you have done something wrong, they will still object even if they owe you favors. At worst, you will die and give your life back."
I have to say that what Li Bai said is very possible, Li Tan smiled: "What are you worried about, I will not rebel, it is impossible to become their opposite, not to mention, I don't ask them to do anything for me now, As long as Yan Xin can help me look after Beiman Academy."
Li Bai said frankly: "This is also the purpose of my stay. If he is not suitable, I will replace him."
Li Tan was very relieved of Li Bai. After so many years, Li Bai had already stood by his side.
Even if Li Bai said that he was not from King Ning's lineage, no one else would believe him.
So Li Tan said solemnly: "Everything is left to Mr. Taibai."
Li Bai also nodded seriously and left the palace without saying anything.
Li Tan thought it was almost over, but as soon as Li Bai left, Yan Gaoqing came over.
The expression on his face was much more dignified than Li Bai's. After all, Beiman Academy had just started on the right track, and he had also read the textbooks that Li Tan gave him.
Although he didn't quite understand some aspects of the subject setting and tutorial setting, but after trying it out, he realized that it was indeed much better.
However, everything in Beiman Academy is based on Li Tan's stability. If something happens to Li Tan, it is hard to say what will happen to Beiman Academy.
Just like He Zhizhang back then, Yan Gaoqing now devotes her passion to the academy and the students.
Perhaps when others see these students, they think that these people are the backbone of the Ningwang family in the future, but Yan Gaoqing is much simpler, what he sees is the future hope of the Tang Dynasty.
Seeing Yan Gaoqing's expression, Li Tan smiled and said: "Mr. Yan, don't worry, I won't have anything to do in a while, it's just that I won't lead soldiers, but it's okay, fighting and killing all these years Yes, I feel that my temperament has changed a lot, and it’s not bad to live a peaceful life after I go back.”
It has to be said that his attitude has influenced many people virtually. If he is very angry, then the people on his side will have great resentment towards Li Heng.
But now he was very peaceful, Yan Gaoqing unconsciously stretched his brows.
He thought for a while that Li Tan was not yet 20 years old this year, and it was the time when he was most susceptible to influence. It was really not good to be exposed to these beatings and killings for a long time.
Of course, there are many soldiers of the same age as him, but even if those people change their temperament, it will not have much influence.
But Li Tan is different, he has a high position and weight... Well, the word weight may be debatable now, but the high position is true, and in addition to the fact that many people have gathered around him, his attitude will always be invisible. Affects many things.
Thinking about it this way, it wouldn't be a bad thing to let him live a peaceful life and get rid of the hostility in his chest.
It's just that she thought this way out of the interest of Li Tan, and from the perspective of the current world situation, Yan Gaoqing still couldn't help but snorted coldly: "I really don't know what the sage is thinking."
Li Tan could hear Yan Gaoqing's dissatisfaction with Li Heng, but he pretended not to hear it, and just said: "I will leave Luoyang for a while and I won't go too far. I am still in Chang'an. If there is anything, Mr. Yan can go first." Ask Mr. Taibai for help, if it still doesn’t work, write to me again, as for money, you don’t have to worry, when the sage returns to Chang’an, I’m sure I won’t need to spend in Chang’an, and I should have more money by then Come and invest in the academy."
When he said this, Yan Gaoqing remembered that he had heard that all the expenses of Chang'an were borne by Li Tan alone.
And when chatting with people, he even heard that Li Tan was very poor for a while, even to the point where he lived in the palace but ate wild vegetables.
Yan Gaoqing was even more dissatisfied with Li Heng. This saint didn't want to compensate and appease King Ning first. The first thing he did was to deprive King Ning of his military power.
Seeing that Yan Gaoqing's brows were furrowed again, Li Tan changed the topic calmly.
The magnanimity I have shown is to prevent people from suspecting that he is a traitor. After all, Li Heng has made a skeptical gesture.
Or those people didn't misunderstand, but prepared various responses in advance, just waiting for his reaction.
In this case, he had to be obedient, not to protect himself. As a prince, he would have nothing to do unless he really rebelled.
This is also the most criticized part of Li Heng's killing of Li Lin. As a brother, even if the younger brother really rebelled, it can only be confined.
All he can decide is the life and death of his own son.
But Li Tan needs to protect the people who have followed him through life and death all these years. If he really makes Li Heng feel a sense of crisis, and Li Heng can't move him, but he has to start with the people around him one by one, how many can he save?
That's why he acted so peacefully. Of course, being peaceful doesn't mean he really doesn't do anything. At least it's easy to hold Li Heng back.
The more people like Yan Gaoqing, the less Li Heng dared to move, and if Yan Gaoqing didn't think highly of Li Heng, even if it wasn't fatal to him, it would affect many people invisibly.
After Li Tan talked with Yan Gaoqing about the development of the academy, he looked at the sky and left him for a meal, and then cared about his body before sending him out under Yan Gaoqing's moved eyes.
In the early morning of the next day, Li Tan was ready to go on the road just after dawn. Anyway, he had to leave sooner or later, and Li Heng was not sure what to do after a long delay.
As a result, as soon as the carriage left the palace, Tian Shengong, who was guarding him on horseback, stammered and said, "Great... lord, this..."
Li Tan asked a little strangely, "What's wrong?"
Yuan Zhe at the side also stammered a bit: "You...you can come and see for yourself."
Li Tan poked his head out with a strange expression on his face, only to find that there were people standing on both sides of the main road in Luoyang City at this time, and if it was in the middle of the night, he might be able to get him out of the way.
These people were very quiet before, but the moment Li Tan poked his head out, they started to make noise, some shouted "King Ning, have a good journey", some shouted "King Ning, thousand years old", and some even asked Li Tan when Back to Luoyang.
Li Tan listened attentively to these words, and he found that in such a short period of time, the people of Luoyang had regained their vitality.
He got out of the carriage and got up, waved to the people and said, "Everyone, go back, don't send them off, aren't you sleepy so early?"
When he came out, everyone was waiting for him to speak, originally everyone thought he would say something grand.
Some people even know that Prince Ning's writing is brilliant and might be able to be translated into words, and many people are ready to transcribe.
It turned out that he didn't expect him to be so down-to-earth when he opened his mouth.
Suddenly, many people laughed and shouted: "Not sleepy!"
Li Tan said helplessly: "Okay, you guys are not sleepy, I am sleepy, let's go, I have to go back to catch up on sleep."
After he finished speaking, he returned to the carriage, and listening to the lively laughter outside, a smile appeared on his face.
From the very beginning when he planned to send troops in violation of the regulations, what he had in mind was his family, his country and the world.
In fact, he didn't have such a great sentiment at first, but he just thought he had the ability, so he just gave it a try.
What's more, it is Chang'an. Although he has regarded Liangliang Prefecture as his own territory, Chang'an is probably the same as his hometown.
When he is able, he can keep his hometown, so why not go?
So he never thought about how the common people would view it, or how history would view it.
Therefore, he always seeks to have a clear conscience in everything he does. As for whether he can leave his name in history, whether he will leave his name in history or not, he doesn't care much.
But now the people told him that they remembered and were grateful for everything he did.
At that moment, the depression in Li Tan's heart eased a little.
After all, what Li Heng did caught him off guard, so he must be a little unhappy.
Now this unhappiness has decreased a bit, but it has not disappeared, but it is enough for him to relax and fall asleep.
Before falling asleep, he thought: Fortunately, these ordinary people didn't have any Wanmin Umbrella, otherwise Li Heng might really go crazy.
Because he was not in a hurry, Li Tan wandered on the road for half a month before reaching Chang'an.
Even so, he arrived earlier than Li Heng.
When he arrived in Chang'an, he was still warmly welcomed by the people. Li Tan, who had experienced a battle, was calm.
It's just that when he returned to the palace, he still felt that something was wrong.
Ji He and the others did not run to the gate of the city to join in the fun, but all ran to the palace.
Li Tan felt a little helpless when he saw them: "You don't work hard, why come to my place? Go and go, go and do what you should do."
It's not Li Tan's style to blow people up as soon as they meet.
The few people who were worried at first were cast a shadow over their hearts in an instant—His Royal Highness King Ning must have sensed the danger, so he let himself draw a clear line with him.
However, would Ji He and Zou Shi avoid it because of this kind of thing?
Ji He said with a smile: "It's already rude not to greet His Highness in person, and it's better to come to the door to apologize."
Zou Shi also said with a smile: "We have already prepared the reception banquet. Oh, don't worry, Your Highness. It's organized by His Royal Highness, and it's in the East Palace. We're here to let you know. Let's go now."
Li Tan was stunned for a moment when he heard the words His Royal Highness, and his first reaction was Li Heng, but soon he realized that the current prince is Li Chu.
Li Chu didn't have to avoid it, he simply agreed and said: "Okay, let me rest for a while and go there at night."
Ji He and the others came here because they were actually worried about Li Tan's mental state. After all, Li Heng's move was really unkind, and Li Tan was also passionate about killing An Lushan at the beginning.
Although An Lushan is dead, the rebels are still there. Li Tan's people have already attacked Fan Yang, so they must want to put down the rebellion directly in one go.
As a result, Li Heng came to this move, no matter who it was, he probably would have vomited to death.
Now that they saw Li Tan, they were relieved to find that Li Tan seemed to be in a very stable mood and in a good mood.
After they all left, Li Tan wandered around the palace and found that although he had rejected the proposal to renovate the palace, Li Heng still did not take back his intention.
Today's palace has more than twice the original size - Li Heng directly asked people to merge the mansion where An Lushan used to live in the opposite side into the palace, and then take a rest.
A palace of this size has exceeded the standard too much. If it was placed before the Anshi Rebellion, even if Li Longji did this, some people would probably oppose it to the end.
However, there is not a single voice of opposition from the ruling and opposition parties.
Li Tan thought about it, if Li Heng had a bigger heart, he would probably feel that he had more control over the court, and no one would object to such an excessive reward.
If he was narrow-minded, he might feel that Li Tan was overshadowing the sky.
When he thought of this, he had a headache, and he simply didn't want to think about it, and made preparations to talk to Li Chu when he went back to the banquet.
After all, Li Chu seemed to have a lot of dissatisfaction with his father.
It has nothing to do with the issue of filial piety, it is just the impulse of a reliable person to correct it immediately after seeing what an unreliable person has done.
Unfortunately, he couldn't fix it.
Li Chu was also suffocated. At the reception banquet in the evening, at the beginning, everyone was still sympathetic, congratulating Li Tan that he will get more rewards in the future.
After drinking for three rounds, the scene became a bit of a group of demons dancing wildly.
At the beginning, these people scolded An Lushan, and then from An Lushan, they scolded the important officials of the puppet Yan, and then they scolded some well-known leading parties.
At the end, it starts to... criticize current affairs.
What can today's politics have?After Li Heng ascended the throne, he officially gave Chang'an two orders: the first one is that he is coming back, and he asked to repair the palace, and let people prepare a celebration banquet.
The second is to have someone repair the palace for Li Tan.
Everyone acquiesced the next day. After all, all Chang'an officials felt wronged for Li Tan.
It's just that their grievances and Li Tan's grievances are not at the same point.
Li Tan was wronged because Li Heng refused to let him go back to Liangzhou, and he still wanted to have a long-distance relationship with his big cat.
What these people feel wronged is that Li Tan has great ambitions, but in the end he was suppressed artificially.
Li Tan knew what they were thinking, but he couldn't explain it. He couldn't say that I hadn't thought about completely eradicating the rebels, could he?It can only be the default.
Li Tan heard these people express their dissatisfaction with Li Heng cryptically with various elegant words, and some even started to compose poems, his face turned green immediately.
If Li Heng finds out about this, no one on the scene will even think about running away.
Holding the wine glass, Li Tan pondered whether to persuade him, although Li Heng hasn't come back yet, don't be so presumptuous, right?
Just when he was thinking, Li Chu slipped to his side without making a sound, and asked in a low voice, "What's your plan next?"
Li Tan turned to look at him and said, "Don't meddle in my business."
Li Chu was a little unhappy: "How can I do that?"
The two of them can be regarded as comrades-in-arms at any rate. After all, under such a great pressure before, they were the two of them who carried it together. One fought in the front, and the other coordinated in the back. They cooperated seamlessly.
Now that Li Tan might be in danger, he naturally couldn't let it go.
Li Tan filled his wine glass and said, "Why not? Let me tell you the truth, your status is not stable now, but every sage has some thoughts about you, and I'm afraid you will be in danger at that time."
Li Chu was half sober when he heard his words.
After thinking about it carefully, he understood Li Tan's meaning. Although he was Li Heng's eldest son, he was a concubine, and of course Li Heng didn't have any concubine now.
The original Concubine Wei was not a Crown Princess because of her divorce, so naturally she could not be a queen, and the child she gave birth to was not considered a legitimate son.
But the problem is that no one knows if Li Heng will dote on a concubine and make him queen, then that woman's child will be a legitimate son.
Li Chu's contribution is very great, but because of his great contribution, the people of Chang'an now know the prince better.
In case Li Heng felt that he was a threat, maybe he really wanted to abolish the prince.
Li Chu held his cup and thought for a long time, then looked up at Li Tan and suddenly asked, "What are your plans? Help me as much as you can."
Although he knew that Li Tan was telling the truth, he had to say that Li Chu also had his own considerations.
Li Tan has helped him too much, if he shrinks back at this time, he will not be able to overcome the hurdle in his heart.
And it's not that he looks down on his father, but he feels that his father may be a little swollen because he is surrounded by people who support him. When he returns to Chang'an, he finds that the court is not what he says, and after hitting a wall a few times, Probably to be honest.
Li Tan thought for a while and said, "I want to go back to Liangzhou."
Li Chu asked directly: "How long do you want to stay?"
Li Tan said with a smile: "Naturally, you can stay as long as you can."
Li Chu lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, "It's not that difficult. Liangzhou is not a rich place, and there are threats from Tubo and Turks. No one likes to go except you."
Li Tanxin said that it was before that I was not rich, otherwise, what do you think I relied on to support Chang'an and Luoyang?
But he didn't refute it, and let everyone think that Liangzhou is poor, so that Li Heng would not think that he would be a threat to go back.
That night, everyone almost reached a consensus through the drunken madness - when Li Heng came back, he must be restrained, at least taught him that being an emperor must be tolerant.
The emperors of the Tang Dynasty are generally more generous. Even when Li Longji was clear-headed in his early years, he could really tolerate those officials.
That is to say, in the later stage, when he was old, indulged in pleasure, and was more comfortable in controlling the court, he gradually began to get used to nonsense.
Now Li Heng is a newly appointed emperor, who has no outstanding achievements before, and who has no impression of being wise and powerful in everyone's mind, just wants to learn from his father?
Don't even think about it!
Li Tan was a little puzzled when he saw that Li Chu hired a bunch of officials he was not familiar with. He was not familiar with these people.
It is only now that I know that this reception banquet is to welcome him, but more importantly, it is to provide everyone with an opportunity to form an alliance.
These officials all returned to Chang'an later. They were all upright officials before, and many of them even Li Longji had nothing to do with them.
If Li Heng didn't want to gain the reputation of a tyrant, he certainly couldn't move them.
These people more or less expressed goodwill towards Li Tan.
If Li Tan still has soldiers in his hands and continues to control Chang'an and Luoyang, they may be wary of Li Tan, thinking that Li Tan has too much power and needs to be restricted.
But now Li Tan, who is a hero, has been treated unfairly, and he had no signs of being a powerful minister before, so these people naturally sided with him.
Even Li Tan didn't dare to offend these people, so he had to use ten times as much effort to fool Yan Gaoqing to fool these veterans.
At the same time, I still have a little sympathy for Li Heng in my heart. Compared with these people, he is too tender.
And he saw people from more than one family here, that is to say, after this round of reshuffle, these families will also roll up their sleeves and start fighting for benefits. If Li Heng can't hold back at that time, it will be a good show. .
It's a bit of a schadenfreude to think about it.
After Li Tan communicated with everyone, Li Chu said to him before he left: "The account books have been sorted out, and I will show Dad when he comes back."
When Li Chu said this, he had a look of reassurance that he would not let you suffer. Li Tan couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it, and began to wonder who belonged to whom.
Your Royal Highness, you are really cheating, do you know that?
After this welcome banquet, Li Tan began to live in seclusion, creating an illusion that he did not want to be at the center of public opinion.
However, the more he is like this, the more people pay attention to and analyze him.
In the end, there were even people who even went out a few times, what he did, and then analyzed his current thoughts through these behaviors, it's simply!
Just when Li Tan was thinking that if Li Heng didn't come back, he couldn't help but kill him and rush him back, Li Heng finally arrived.
Li Tan and Li Chu are two people, one is Li Heng's brother who is most suitable to be used as an archway, and the other is the prince, so naturally they have to go out of the city to meet them.
However, when Li Heng came back, it was just in time for the winter solstice, and it was so cold that Li Tan was almost freezing to death.
Li Tan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Heng's special guard of honor for the emperor, but when the guard of honor got closer, he found that Li Heng's guard of honor was far worse than Li Longji's back then.
If we insist on the difference, Li Longji's ceremonial guards are made of top-notch genuine materials, while Li Heng... is full of the cheap feeling of imitations from top to bottom.
Li Tan was desperate when he saw how poor Li Heng was, and guessed that Li Chu's account books were useless, and Li Heng probably couldn't afford to pay him back.
Li Heng came out of Luan Yu, and after having a question-and-answer session with the ministers, he waved to Li Tan before going back and said, "Come on, 31 Lang."
Li Tan raised his eyelids and looked at it, thinking: OK, it's not too stupid.
Knowing that pulling him to show his favor first can at least calm people's hearts to a certain extent, it's okay.
Li Tan thought so, and followed Luanyu.
After entering, he glanced at the furnishings and found that although the outside looked cheap, everything inside was good.
He couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and said to himself that he was acting, okay, he's a little clever, but if that's the case, don't blame me for asking you to pay.
Li Tan, who was thinking about something in his heart, sat down while coping with Li Heng's question.
After he sat down, Li Heng asked, "What's important in Chang'an recently?"
Li Tan sneered in his heart, what could be important?Let Li Chu solve it, if Li Chu can't solve it, you can't solve it either.
But Li Tan didn't say that, he just said with a slightly dignified face: "The biggest thing is the return of the ministers, and there are many children from the family. Before the saint didn't come back, they were fine. Now that the saint is back, I'm afraid... ..."
Li Heng understood instantly after hearing this, and couldn't help being very moved and said: "It's still 31 Lang who is facing me."
Li Tan rolled his eyes in his heart, and said he was sorry, I wasn't after you, but I was afraid that you wouldn't move fast enough.
What the imperial court needs most now is to get through this period of time safely, and then Li Heng will slowly take back his rights.
If he is impatient now and moves too many people, no one knows what will happen then.
However, judging from Li Heng's eagerness to deprive him of his military power, this man probably has no patience, or his patience has been exhausted dealing with Li Longji in the past few decades.
After Li Tan said a few words modestly, Li Heng said directly: "Liangzhou is bitterly cold, I don't want 31 Lang to suffer in the past, so how about you choose someone you trust to go to Liangzhou to be the governor?"
Li Tan: I really think highly of you!
