The Tongtian Temple in Qingcheng Mountain in Chengdu is where the Supreme Emperor Li Longji cultivated his immortality.
Last year, a line dispute broke out between Li Longji and his son Li Lin. Li Longji's idea was to reset himself first, with Li Heng continuing to be the crown prince and Li Lin the crown prince's younger brother.
Of course, Li Longji could not bypass Li Heng, the current emperor, and his military strength was no match for Li Heng. It was certainly unrealistic to depose Li Heng. The only way was to declare Li Heng as the prince to supervise the country.
Here, we can only ask Yong Wang Li Lin to wait patiently, wait for him to sit on the throne, and then wait for his brother to sit on the throne for more than ten years before it is his turn to ascend the throne.
How could Li Lin agree? He could only accept two options, either his father would depose the current emperor Li Heng, and then his father would re-assume the throne and make himself the prince.
Either the father can continue to be the emperor, and let the current emperor directly appoint himself as the emperor's younger brother.
In the end, Li Longji could not defeat his son Li Lin, who held military power, so he had to declare a monk and become a Taoist priest. He temporarily gave up the idea of ascending to the throne again, and persuaded the emperor Li Heng to make his brother Li Lin the crown prince.
Although Li Longji was forced to become a monk, he was restless and had no intention of cultivating immortality. He was still waiting and looking for opportunities to ascend the throne again.
That afternoon, Li Longji was drinking tea and playing chess alone in his room. Due to his health, he had completely lost contact with women. However, there were still some maids and former concubines around him who served him, but they only took care of him.
Daily life.
At this time, Gao Lishi's figure appeared at the door, "Your Majesty, he is here!"
Li Longji said calmly: "Let him come in!"
A tall and thin middle-aged man, about fifty years old, walked in. When he came in, he knelt down and saluted, "My son-in-law, Yang Hui, pays homage to the emperor!"
The person who came was none other than the consort Yang Hui, who was married to Li Longji's most beloved daughter, Princess Xianyi. Yang Hui was also Feilong's apprentice. He had been under house arrest in the mansion because of the rebellion of Prince Li Ying. Overall, it was pretty good, because
He was placed under house arrest to avoid being exploited by Master Feilong.
But now Li Longji decided to use him.
Li Longji waved his hand, "Sit down!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Yang Hui sat down opposite him with his hands down, and Li Longji said slowly: "Have you remembered everything I told you before?"
"My son-in-law will keep this in mind!"
Li Longji nodded, "You must fully assist Li Zhen when you go back this time. When things are done, your family will be proud of you, and you will be the starting point for the prosperity of the Yang family."
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your favor!"
Li Longji smiled and said, "Go ahead! I look forward to good news from you."
Yang Hui kowtowed three times, stood up and left.
Li Longji expressionlessly picked up a chess piece and dropped it on the chessboard.
Gao Lishi sent Yang Hui away and hurried back.
"Your Majesty, he's gone!"
"Did you give him everything?"
Gao Lishi nodded, "I gave you everything you should give."
"very good!"
Li Longji asked calmly: "How likely does Aweng think they are to succeed?"
Gao Lishi hesitated for a moment, and Li Longji glanced at him, "Now that things have happened, is there anything else that can't be said?"
"Your Majesty, their strategy is right. Pretending to ask for property and setting up a denunciation group can hide the public's eyes very well. But the problem is that this plan is too big and involves too many people. It is easy to leak secrets. I am worried that someone will tell the truth.
"
Li Longji said disapprovingly: "Everything you do has risks. The greater the risk, the greater the reward. If you are afraid of doing anything, then what big thing can you do?"
"But they are loyal people trained by the Emperor. It would be a pity if they were..."
Li Longji walked to the window with his hands behind his back and looked at the sky and big trees outside the window. After a while, he slowly said: "I am already old and don't have many years left. This is my last fight. If they fail, it will be
Buried with me in advance."
A chill suddenly ran down Gao Lishi's back, and the emperor's thoughts were simply too terrifying.
He quickly said: "The Emperor is a hundred years old, it is too early to say this now."
Li Longji smiled and then asked: "Sir Fourteen, are you sure my concubine is in Longyou?"
"Reporting to the emperor, we are not sure yet. It is just because Concubine Yang went to Longyou that the emperor's brother guessed that Concubine Yang is also in Longyou."
Li Longji nodded, "That should be right. Who else could hide her so deeply besides Li Ye? The demon said to me back then that only he could save the imperial concubine. I didn't understand what it meant until Si Zhuyuan
Only then did I realize that the beast in the East Palace was also plotting against the imperial concubine. Since Yao Dao has died early and Li Ye is his heir, the imperial concubine is most likely to be rescued by Li Ye."
Gao Lishi had always known that the imperial concubine must be at Li Ye's place. Back then, in the palace, the imperial concubine had already fallen in love with Li Ye.
The emperor was fascinated by Mrs. Guo at that time and completely ignored the imperial concubine, so he did not see the imperial concubine's affection for Li Ye, but Gao Lishi did. He also knew that the imperial concubine had a physical relationship with Li Ye in the palace.
That's why there has been no news from the imperial concubine for so many years. In fact, the imperial concubine has completely cut off her past. If she still has the slightest nostalgia for the Supreme Emperor, she might write a letter, but there has never been any news, which explains everything.
.
Gao Lishi whispered: "Does the emperor want me to send someone to Longyou to take a look?"
Li Longji thought for a long time and said: "I estimate that she has become a monk in Longyou. Whether you look at her or not, she will never come back, and she won't be of much significance to me anymore.
However, I still hope that I will go to Longyou myself again. The real purpose of asking you to go to Longyou is to win over Li Ye for me. I need him to confront the imperial court."
"Does Your Majesty want to promise Li Ye anything?"
Li Longji nodded, "I still say the same thing. If he is willing to support me in ascending the throne, then I promise to make him the emperor's grandson."
Gao Lishi shook his head secretly. With the same treatment as a prince, the emperor had already promised Li Lin, then promised Li Zhen, and now he wanted to promise Li Ye again. How could Li Ye believe it?
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid Li Ye won't believe it. After all, he let the emperor's younger brother go to Shu. He knows that the emperor's successor is the emperor's younger brother."
Li Longji said coldly: "This moment, that moment, he is a smart man, he will understand."
After saying that, Li Longji took out a gold box from the box and handed it to Gao Lishi, "This is the Emperor's Xinbao. Not even the Fourteenth Prince has it, which is enough to prove my sincerity!"
Gao Lishi was shocked. The emperor gave the emperor's treasure to Li Zhen, and asked Li Zhen to work for him in Chang'an. Now he actually gave the emperor's treasure to Li Ye.
"Is the Emperor serious?"
Li Longji slowly returned to his seat, took another chess piece, and said calmly: "I know very well that Li Ye's strength has surpassed that of the imperial court. He has the strength to ascend the throne, but he does not have the status to ascend the throne. On the contrary, I have
He has the status to ascend the throne but does not have the strength to ascend the throne. If he is willing to help me, I will give him the status and he will give me the strength. I will ascend the throne again and make him the emperor's grandson. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
