Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Longji knelt in front of Li Dan and said solemnly.

"Father, since ancient times, there is no immortal person who wants to achieve imperial hegemony."

"Since aunt doesn't care about family affection, don't blame the child for being unkind!"

Looking at his son in front of him, Li Dan looked complicated and didn't say a word for a long time.

Since ancient times, there has been no family affection in the royal family. Once power is involved, father and son will turn against each other, and brothers will be in trouble.

This is why he gave up the throne again and again.

He used to be a mother, but now he is a son, and a disheartened thought came to his mind.

a long time.

Li Dan stood up, looked up to the sky and sighed.

"That's all, you all have stiffened wings. My father can't control you anymore, so you can take care of yourself!"

After saying that, he walked away.

Looking at Li Dan's back, Gao Lishi hesitated.

"Your Majesty, should we still kill Princess Taiping and Princess Anle?"

"kill!"

Li Longji's eyes burst out with a strong murderous intent.

"Cut the grass without eradicating the roots, and the spring breeze will bring new growth. I will never allow a threat to live in this world!"

After saying this, a chamberlain hurriedly walked into the hall and bowed.

"Your Majesty, Guo Yuanzhen wants to see you urgently!"

"Didn't Guo Yuanzhen go to kill Princess Taiping? Why did he come back so soon?"

Li Longji rolled his eyes and waved his hands.

"Let him in."

"Yes."

Not long after the chamberlain left, Guo Yuanzhen walked into the hall in a panic.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is in trouble! I have made a major discovery!"

Li Longji frowned and said displeased.

"You are also the minister of the imperial court after all. How can you behave in such a hurry?"

"I want to ask you, have you caught Princess Taiping?"

Guo Yuanzhen stamped his foot heavily and said angrily.

"What are you arresting? Fan Xin is blocking the gate of Qianling. I dare not enter."

"waste!"

Li Longji was about to scold Guo Yuanzhen when he suddenly stopped and said with wide eyes.

"Who do you think is blocking the Qianling Gate?"

"Who else could it be? Of course it is King Yan Xin. If it hadn't been for him, I would have led the five thousand feather forest guards to rush in."

Speaking of this matter, Guo Yuanzhen is still filled with hatred.

"Fan Xin!"

Li Longji's teeth clenched loudly, and there was a chill in his eyes.

No wonder Cui Ti spread her wings and flew in the Gongyuan surrounded by heavy soldiers.

No wonder Dali Temple refused to let itself intervene in the scientific examination fraud case.

It turned out that Fan Xin was secretly helping Princess Taiping.

It’s so deceiving!

"Okay, okay, since you don't take Gu in your eyes, then don't blame Gu for being rude!"

"Come here, immediately order the 100,000 troops stationed in Yingzhou to take over Youzhou."

"Anyone who resists will be punished as a rebel!"

After giving the order, Li Longji put on his armor and came to the courtyard with his sword in hand, and said to several generals.

"Immediately summon the three armies to go to Qianling to capture the traitors!"

"Here!"

The generals clasped their fists and quickly rode away. In about half an hour, a group of 20,000 soldiers and horses rushed out from the Shendu camp.

Follow Li Longji towards Qianling.

Report!

An urgent message pierced the sky and reached the thatched cottage, and then a Qianniu Guard broke in.

"Your Highness! An army composed of Zuo Yulin, Zuo Yingyang, and Zuo Weiwei was found sixty miles southeast."

"A rough estimate is that the number of people is around 20,000!"

Signaling the Qianniu Guards to retreat, Fan Xin looked around at the crowd and said calmly.

"It seems that Li Longji is planning to take action himself. Everyone, how are you preparing?"

Hearing this, Lin Tie clasped his fists.

"Going back to your lord, a few days ago our General Huang Banner led an army of 200,000 troops from Khitan territory to Yingzhou, encircling and annihilating the 100,000 troops stationed there."

"Except for Chen Xuanli who was unwilling to surrender, everyone else surrendered."

"We are currently gathering towards Guanzhong. I think we will be here in a few hours."

Zhou Qi followed closely and stood up and said.

"Before this, the nine thousand guards in Qianling City will defend the city with all their strength until reinforcements arrive!"

Fan Xin smiled lightly and walked out with his hands behind his back.

"The Master said, How wonderful it is to have friends come from afar."

"Taiping, let's go meet our old friends."

Qianling, a city modeled after Chang'an City, is divided into two layers of inner and outer walls.

The length and width are four to five hundred feet each. It is built according to Liangshan Mountain, making it an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place.

When the 20,000 guards arrived at Qianling Mausoleum, they saw the city gates wide open and no one on the walls.

Seeing this scene, Gao Lishi suddenly grabbed the horse's rein and said in surprise.

"My lord, this place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Fan Xin will never let us enter the city easily. Be careful of fraud!"

"That's right, Your Majesty, the man named Fan has always been cunning and cunning. We must not be fooled by him!"

Facing the generals' advice, Li Longji smiled disdainfully.

"Fan Xin really thinks of himself as Zhuge Liang, but it's a pity that Gu is the prince, not Sima Yi!"

"You are waiting here to meet him alone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he whipped the horse on the buttocks and ran towards Qianling.

Soon he disappeared at the city gate.

In front of the tombstone, Fan Xin squatted on the ground and burned paper money, while Princess Taiping placed fruits in the fruit plate.

Today is the seventh day of Her Majesty Wu Zetian's first birthday. According to folk saying, it is the day when the soul returns to life.

Therefore, fruits and food must be placed so that the returning souls can have a feast.

At some point, there was a figure behind the two of them, standing there without saying a word.

It wasn't until the two of them finished paying homage that they walked up to the incense burner and inserted three sticks of incense.

"Fan Xin, I need an explanation, otherwise you know the consequences of offending a future emperor."

After kneeling on the ground and kowtowing three times, Li Longji stood up, patted the dust on his body and said.

"There is nothing to explain. Your Majesty was most concerned about Princess Taiping before her funeral. He wanted her to fulfill her filial piety for a few years in front of the mausoleum."

"This king is just following orders." Fan Xin smiled slightly and said without being humble or arrogant.

"The Emperor's will?" Li Longji was startled, and his expression softened a lot.

Although he knew that Fan Xin's words were flawed, the other party could give him a step down.

He was already very satisfied, so he looked surprised.

"Yes, this daughter was the one the Emperor loved most during his lifetime."

"Before he died, he made a special decree. While he was speaking, he took out a volume of imperial decree from his arms."

When Li Longji read the above content, he took a deep breath.

He turned around and said to Princess Taiping.

"Auntie, the imperial hegemony has always been a matter for the men of the Li family. The imperial grandmother was just an accident."

"For the sake of the Supreme Emperor and King Yan, I can stop worrying about the past."

"I hope you can really withdraw from the court, otherwise when Gu ascends the throne, you will never show favor a second time."
