After discussing the future arrangements with King Qi, Li Ye was about to drink a few drinks, but unexpectedly, the palace sent an imperial edict, and Li Yan asked Li Ye to go to the palace immediately, saying that there was something to discuss.

Before, Li Yan rarely sent an order to Li Ye to enter the palace. If Li Yan was idle, he would come to Prince An's mansion by himself when Li Ye was resting. At other times, he would send someone to wear a message saying that there was another masterpiece recently, so that Li Ye would appreciate it when he had time. Time was decided by Li Ye himself.

It seems that this matter is still urgent today.

Li Ye naturally had no reason to refuse, so he entered the palace with the eunuch. To Li Ye's surprise, this time Li Yan saw that he was not in a place to have fun, but in the most serious Hanyuan Palace.

Li Yan, who was in the throne, wore a pearl crown on his head, a dragon cannon, a long sword on his waist, and a grand outfit, as if he wanted to participate in a memorial ceremony. This was extremely rare for Li Yan, who had always dressed casually on weekdays.

I have to say that people rely on clothes, and at this time, Li Yan's body was gone with the look of wine and flesh, and there was a lot of majestic dragon power. When he stood up, he did not say that he was a heroic person, but also looked down upon him. All of this was clearly shown that he was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Ye didn't know where Li Yan was singing. Perhaps the other party felt that he should change his face and become a responsible and authoritative emperor. These thoughts flashed through Li Ye's heart. He was polite and did not express any emotions.

Behind Li Yeping, Li Yan stood on the sword, and in the former's gaze of admiration, he posed for a while, and then asked Li Ye with a smile: "How about it, Brother Ye, do I look like an emperor?"

Li Ye felt helpless in his heart, but he still cooperated on the surface, "Your Majesty is naturally very powerful, which makes his ministers feel disappointed."

Whether Li Ye believes this or not, Li Yan himself does not believe it. He sat back on the dragon throne bored and did not intend to maintain the momentum he had just pretended to be, staring at Li Ye without any movement, and watched for a while.

Li Ye was unclear, so he could only look at him with questions.

Finally, Li Yan sighed and said sincerely: "In terms of the emperor's majesty, Brother Ye is indeed more than a hundred times stronger than me. You stand there casually, and you also have the momentum to make your subjects bow down. Even if I sit on the throne, I feel that I am not much different from ordinary people."

If these words were changed and happened between other monarchs and ministers, the problem would undoubtedly be very serious, but from Li Yan's mouth, there would be heart-to-heart words. However, even so, this was not appropriate after all, and Li Ye also spoke out to advise.

Li Yan waved his hand and signaled Li Ye without further ado. He sat upright, looked at Li Ye, and said word by word: "Today, it is a very important thing to let Brother Ye enter the palace - this may be the most important decision I have ever made in my life and the most profound impact on the dynasty!"

Li Ye vaguely realized something, but he couldn't be sure, because it was too incredible and could only wait for Li Yan to continue talking.

Li Yan took a deep breath, as if there was a mountain on his shoulder, which made him feel a little breathless. Then he let out another long breath, his expression immediately relaxed, as if the mountain had been removed from his shoulder.

After taking a deep breath, Li Yan expressed his decision as the emperor: "I have decided to abdicate the throne to you!"

Even though he was already a little prepared, Li Ye's heart still felt a lot of turmoil when he heard this sentence.

......

The sky was covered with heavy snow and three feet of snow. The eunuchs and palace maids in the palace kept cleaning the roads, so busy that their foreheads were covered with sweat, but no one dared to slack off.

Li Yan was walking on the wet road, and creaking sounds sounded from time to time under his feet.

The eunuch who served was driven far away by him, and no one came to hold an umbrella for him, and snowflakes quickly fell on his shoulders and heads. The dragon robe and pearl crown that originally set off the emperor's majesty gradually became unrecognizable and could no longer give anyone any strength.

Or maybe it never gave people strength. When Huang Chao attacked Chang'an and Li Yan fled in a hurry in a dragon robe, he had already realized this. What could give him strength was the thousands of troops who were loyal to the dynasty and willing to fight for him.

Li Yan will not forget that when he was in trouble in Chengdu and was in panic all day long, he heard that King An led his army to destroy the riots, defeated the capital, and wanted to welcome him to return to the court.

When he arrived at Xiyuan, Li Yan boarded the dragon boat. The water of the pond was frozen, and the dragon boat could no longer sail and could only be parked on the shore. However, Li Ye didn't care about this. He came to Class A and ordered the person to set up a seat to warm wine.

It was originally a lonely thing to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the wind and snow. What Li Yan hated the most was loneliness, which made people feel that they had no support and no one knew about it. He liked the excitement, so he often asked Li Ye to come to the palace to accompany him.

But today, Li Yan thought it was good to sit alone and enjoy the snow.

He remembered the ambush that happened on this dragon boat some time ago.

When he woke up, he was told that the matter was completely over. Not only did Li Ye not suffer any harm, he caught all the ambushers in one fell swoop. This made Li Yan feel a little scared while being grateful.

He knew very well that if Li Ye died, he would not have any good ending. Nowadays, free and uninterrupted entertainment and life will only become a bitter memory in his dreams.

After waking up, Li Yan felt very sorry for Li Ye. After all, he called him to come into the palace. As the lord of the palace city and the emperor, he could not even tell the secret of his confidant, and sent the other party and the dynasty into a dangerous situation.

Afterwards, Li Ye sent someone to take over the palace defense. Li Yan didn't think anything was wrong. He thought he needed Li Ye's protection. It was really unreliable to kiss the old man.

Now, the situation of attacking the Tang Dynasty by the world has been broken. The Khitans have destroyed the country, the grasslands have been peaceful, and the Nanzhao royal family has become prisoners and escorted to Chang'an and thrown into a prison. Nanzhao has been occupied by Wang Jian and the Uighurs have also been defeated. The court is preparing to advance to the Western Regions next year to complete the last puzzle of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

At this moment, Li Yan was inevitably very happy, but when he calmed down, he realized that he had done everything, but played the opposite role at the critical moment of the war.

He thought seriously that he could not find anything favorable to the country in himself. The only thing worthy of praise was that Li Ye was in charge of the overall military and political situation.

Now, with Li Ye’s outstanding achievements, some ministers in the court who were ulterior motives or were corrupt and afraid of being dealt with by Li Ye have begun to spread rumors that Li Ye wants to take him and replace him, and soon the palace transformation will be launched!

Li Yan knew that he was powerless to change people's hearts and did not have the ability to preside over the world, so he was not interested in this.

Since this is the case, don’t hinder Brother Ye anymore, otherwise you will be sorry for the other party’s efforts to work hard for state affairs. In this way, even if you accomplish nothing, you will not be too ashamed to meet your ancestors underground in the future.

Brother Ye was originally a clan of the royal family, and there was no doubt that he had abdicated, and the Li family's country would only become better.

And you can do what you want without any burden, and you no longer have to think about the things that give you headaches.

The wine was warm, and Li Yan drank a glass in front of the heavy snow.

Although it means loneliness, it is more relaxed and relieved.

.........

Li Ye walked out of the gate of the imperial city and faced the wide and straight Zhuque Street, and stood quietly for a while.

There are few pedestrians on the street, and the heavy snow seems to be endless. The neighborhoods in Chang'an are covered with silver, which looks ancient and ancient, with a profound artistic conception, making people feel peaceful and fresh, not anxious or messy.

When Li Yan said he wanted to abdicate, Li Ye was very moved. Although his throne was given by Li Yan in his previous life, the situation at that time was very different from now. The most fundamental difference was that Li Yan was seriously ill and was about to die in his previous life.

Abdicating alive is two completely different questions than finding someone to succeed the throne before death. How can anyone be willing to spit out the meat they eat in their mouths?

Even though Li Yan ignored the national affairs, he enjoyed the emperor's dignity and power without any fault. Life and death were taken away and control everything, which was something that no one could abandon, even Li Ye himself could not.

But Li Yan did this and took the initiative to do it.

Before this, Li Ye did not say that there was no persecution, and he had not even expressed his meaning, nor did he let ministers such as Li Zhen and Cui Keli express nonsense, and let the Qingyi yamen spread rumors everywhere.

Under such circumstances, Li Yan took the initiative to abdicate, which made Li Ye feel surging in any case.

"The brotherly friendship between Your Majesty and Your Highness has never existed since then." Shao Siming, who was behind him, suddenly said that although his voice was light, the envy in his words was very strong.

Da Siming glanced at Shao Siming with dissatisfaction, probably because she was blaming her for not enviing Li Ye so much. After all, their friendship was a waste of time, and she could have cut off the back of the other party at a critical moment. However, as her sister, of course she would not blame the other party for such a problem.

Li Ye smiled in a complicated sense, "Isn't there really?"

Shao Siming nodded seriously: "With your highness's professional status, you have long been a powerful minister who has no one to check and balance, but you always stay away from the throne and have no covetous behavior. Even if others persuade you, you will never be indifferent, which is definitely not in history books. Your Majesty is healthy and young, but he does not suppress and restrain Your Highness, and he will take the initiative to abdicate when he is about to do so, which is absolutely nothing!"

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt something, and finally felt completely relieved.

In fact, he felt a little sorry for his brother before. After Shao Siming said this, he finally realized that he didn't have to stick to worldly etiquette at all. He and Li Yan had a deep affection. No matter how the situation changed, this would not change at all.

.........

Time flies, and the years pass by, and a new year is coming in a blink of an eye.

At the beginning of this year, an earth-shaking event occurred in the Tang Dynasty, which shocked the government and the people: the emperor abdicated and King An ascended the throne.

In the eyes of most Tang people, this matter was beyond expectations, but it was reasonable. What made the Tang people most proud was that there was no bloodshed or unrest in the abdication. It was the emperor who took the initiative to mention it, setting a precedent in history. In everyone's hearts, this undoubtedly indicates that the prosperous era will come again.
