Capital Datang

"Liu Lang, this competition was held too hastily, and many ideas can't be realized at all!" Li Ke held up a fox fur robe to keep out the rain, while turning his head and complaining like Li Yin.

Although the rain was not heavy, in this kind of cold early winter, it made people feel a bone-chilling chill. It was estimated that it would take half an hour to walk to the city gate closest to them, and there was no one nearby, so the two People also ran away lazily, wearing fur robes to block the rain, letting the horses walk and chatting.Fortunately, cement roads have been built around the city, so you don't have to worry about your feet.

"Third brother, you also know that I will leave Chang'an for a period of time after the new year, so before I leave, I have to finalize the rules of the entire competition!" Li Yin said helplessly, "In addition, the military academy will The construction is almost done, and school will start after the year at the latest. As a result, Brother Huailiang and Jingye will have to stay in the military academy every day, and they will not be able to come out at ordinary times. In this case, whether they can participate in the competition is also a problem. So everyone wants to have a game a year ago to have fun."

"Of course I know this, but one month's preparation time, even if the venue and competition items are resolved, the number of people who will come to participate must be limited. At most, only some people from Chang'an and its surrounding areas will come. In addition, it is estimated that Luoyang, Taiyuan, etc. Some people will also come from these big cities, after all, there are branches of Datang Daily and Business Daily, and they will get news sooner." Li Ke sighed and said, as the organizer, he naturally wanted to make this sports meeting grand Some, but due to time constraints, we can only hold a hastily to accumulate experience.

After hearing this, Li Yin also sighed.He shook the fur robe above his head to shake off the water on it.Then he opened his mouth and said: "There is no way to do this. We can only let the newspapers publicize it as much as possible. And the news of the official sports meeting next year will also be published. If we can't catch up this time, we can wait until the next time. Besides, we will give each champion a set name." With such a high bonus, someone must try their best to come here!" Capital Datang 182

When Li Yin talked about the bonus, there was a strange look on his face, Datang was not like the later generations.If the sports meeting is like the Olympic Games, where the champion only gets a medal representing honor, then it is estimated that there will not be many players willing to participate in the sports meeting, at least in the beginning it will be difficult to reach a certain scale.So Li Yin had no choice but to add another bonus to the medals. According to the difficulty of the competition, the top three prizes of each competition were marked, and some of the championship prizes even reached [-] guan.Presumably, under the temptation of fame and fortune, there must be many people willing to come to Chang'an to participate in the competition.

After talking about the Winter Games, Li Yin suddenly changed the subject, waved back Xi Junmai and waited for the guards, and then said solemnly: "Third brother, you have been in Chang'an for several years. I left that period Time, you are helping me with Chang’an’s business affairs. When I run the newspaper, you go to work in the newspaper office. Now that the sports meeting is held, you are also the host. I have always been very grateful for this, but today I want to ask, Don't tell me, third brother, do you really want to keep messing around like this?"

Li Yin asked very straightforwardly.There is even a bit of accusation.It was also the first time for Li Ke to hear his younger brother talking to him like this. At that time, he was taken aback. After a while, he turned his head and looked at Li Yin a few times, only to see that the other party had a serious face, as if he was joking. Then he smiled bitterly and said, "Liu Lang, I don't want to waste my time in Chang'an, but look at the current situation, what else can I do besides staying in Chang'an?"

After Li Yin heard this, he looked disapproving. He, the third elder brother, had some advantages in both literary and martial arts, but no one is perfect, and he also has great shortcomings.In the past, Li Yin believed that the reason why Li Ke could not succeed to the throne in history was because of his blood relationship with the former Sui Dynasty, but after such a long period of observation and thinking, Li Yin suddenly discovered that this was not the case.

Take him for example, if he is willing, then he has a great chance to ascend to the throne, and even Li Shimin will not object. From this point, it can be seen that blood is not the key to hinder their brothers from ascending to the throne.Now Li Chengqian and Li Tai are secretly fighting for life and death, and Li Shimin also sees it, and is quite disappointed with these two sons, but even so, Li Min can be sure that even if Li Shimin abolishes Li Chengqian, he will never Consider allowing Li Ke to succeed him.

Li Yin looked at Xi Junmai and others behind him, and found that they were several feet away from him and Li Kezu, and it was against the wind, so it was impossible to hear their conversation, so he said with confidence: "Third brother, I was I have already told you that I will never take the seat of Emperor Father!"

Li Ke was shocked when he heard this. He had indeed heard Li Yin say such things before, but at the time he didn't know whether his younger brother was sincere or false, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Now he heard his younger brother mention it again, and with his The understanding of Li Yin, this time is definitely not a joke, this makes Li Ke really at a loss.

However, Li Ke is not an ordinary person after all. Among the princes, no one can compare to him in terms of calmness, so although he was shocked by Li Yin's words, he still reacted quickly and asked with the same solemn expression: "Liulang, You really don't want that lofty throne?"

Seeing the ambition that flashed in Li Ke's eyes when he mentioned the throne, Li Yin smiled wryly, and said slowly: "Third Brother, it's not that I don't want it, but that I have more important things to do." , although taking over the throne of the Tang Dynasty now will bring some convenience, but it will leave infinite hidden dangers for the younger generations, and if I do my own things well, as for the throne..."

When Li Yin said this, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in his eyes, but he didn't want to say any more. Instead, he smiled and turned his head to ask Li Ke: "Third Brother, do you really want to inherit the throne of Emperor Father?"

Suddenly hearing Li Yin's straightforward question, Li Ke's face turned pale, and he was about to deny it, but the other party laughed again: "Third brother, you and I are blood brothers, and I have already made it clear just now. Xinji, do you have the heart to lie to my younger brother who is so frank?"

After Li Yin finished speaking, he looked at Li Ke with a smile on his face.

Under the calm gaze of his younger brother, Li Ke couldn't help but feel a burst of shame on his face. After a while, he lowered his head and said, "Liu Lang, you are right. I really hope to inherit the throne of the Tang Dynasty. After all, a man is a man. If I don’t make a career, then my life will be wasted! Besides, I am also the prince of the Tang Dynasty. If I can inherit the throne and become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, then I, Li Ke, will definitely become more outstanding than my father.” Emperor of color!"

This is the first time Li Ke has shown his ambitions in front of others. Under the excitement, he almost said all the words that have been held in his heart for nearly ten years.It's just that Li Yin shook his head after hearing this, and said to him sadly: "Third Brother, you want to do better than Emperor Father, I admire this very much, and I also know The reason why you have been staying in Chang'an is to let the emperor think of you, especially now that the eldest brother and the fourth brother are fighting so seriously, but you are fighting without fighting, so you seem to be more calm and sensible than the eldest brother and the fourth brother, let Royal father can see your benefits!"

Hearing his younger brother speak out his heart, Li Ke, who was still emotional just now, immediately calmed down, with a bit of embarrassment on his face. As Li Yin said, he was indeed holding the mentality of not fighting Stay in Chang'an.

"But third brother, you are wrong!" Li Min didn't care about Li Ke's expression, and still said sadly, "The so-called knowing a son is like a father, with the wisdom of the father, how can you hide your thoughts from him? Let’s not talk about him, take the fourth brother as an example, except for his talent in literature, he can hardly compare with you in other aspects, but there is one thing about him that makes you willing to lose the third brother, that’s what you want Go actively fight for it, even if you pay the price for it!"

Li Yin's words were like thunder, shaking Li Ke out of the mist.No wonder he was better than Li Tai in every way, but he still couldn't get his father's favor. It turned out that the real reason was that he thought he was smart and showed his stability by not fighting. Chengfu can even be said to be hypocritical. If he were the emperor father, he probably wouldn't choose him to inherit the throne.

"Liulang, I understand, but is there any remedy now?" Li Ke asked anxiously.

"Sixth brother, it's too late to fix it, and this is only the internal reason why you can't inherit the throne. In addition, don't forget, Datang also has a powerful eldest grandson family. Those who are on the throne, unless that prince has the strength to suppress them!" Li Yin also showed a trace of helplessness on his face when he said this, among all the princes, he is probably the only one who has the strength to suppress the Changsun family, and Strength is not like clothes, which can be borrowed by others to wear at will. Even if he uses his strength to support Li Ke, he may not get any effect in the end. After all, people are looking at him, not Li Ke.Capital Datang 182

After listening to Li Yin's analysis, Li Ke finally lost confidence, and sat on the horse with a disheartened face, his eyes were also full of "confusion".Originally because of Li Yin's relationship, he had already given up the battle for the throne, but when he heard that Li Yin would not inherit the throne, he immediately revived his hope for the throne, but he didn't expect it to be nothing in the end.

Looking at the appearance of his third elder brother, Li Yin shook his head secretly. No matter how good Ren Li Ke was, he still didn't understand his intentions in saying these words to him due to the vision of the ancients. Give him a call.

Thinking of this, Li Yin just wanted to speak, but before they knew it, they had already passed Yong'an Canal, and they were about to reach Anhua Gate.At this moment, suddenly on the road outside the city facing Anhua Gate, a team of thousands of people was rushing towards the city gate, and what surprised Li Yin even more was that the thousands of people The man turned out to be an alien cavalry, and judging from the clothes, he felt very familiar.
