Capital Datang

"Anyone else?" Changsun Ji was taken aback when he heard that, but then he realized, with a shocked expression on his face, "You mean Lizhi?"

"That's right!" Li Yin's expression also looked a little gloomy, "When Fifth Sister passed away a few years ago, she already had a premonition that the Changsun family might encounter a catastrophe, so regardless of her seriously ill body, she struggled She wrote me a letter in her own hand, in which she begged me to take care of the Changsun family as much as possible, but when this letter was delivered to me, Fifth Sister had already passed away!"

Changsun Ji's son, Changsun Chong, married Li Shimin's fifth daughter, Princess Changle, who was Li Yin's fifth sister. (Baidu search) This poor princess is not very satisfied with this political marriage, but she resists vigorously. In addition, she inherited Li Shimin's gas disease, and she often fell ill at a young age. Walk through the gate of hell.

Later, although the imperial physicians tried their best to diagnose and treat her, they were unable to eradicate her. A few years ago, she had another attack, and this time the illness was severe. In the end, the beautiful princess finally passed away. Li Shimin cried bitterly for more than a month. Failed to ascend normally.Empress Changsun was also saddened, and even suffered a serious illness for this reason.

When Li Yin was in Chang'an, he didn't have much contact with Princess Changle. After all, she was already married at that time. Later, it was because of Li Zhi that the two had a heart-to-heart talk, which also brought them closer. Later, when Li Yin was overseas, Li Lizhi often wrote letters to Li Yin. It can be said that she was a link between the eldest grandson's family and Li Yin.So now Li Yin said that he was entrusted by others, but ruled out Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, so the only possibility is Princess Changle. [

Thinking that his daughter-in-law could still think about their eldest grandson's family when he died, the eldest grandson Ji was also very moved, and the other party was not only his daughter-in-law.At the same time, she is also his niece, which makes the eldest grandson Ji, who has always been accustomed to thinking in terms of interests, feel a kind of long-lost family affection.

It's just that the warmth on Changsun Ji's face also disappeared in a flash, and then he returned to the original soft and cold Lord Sikong. He glanced at Li Yin calmly, and then said: "The four highnesses join forces, and together We really don't have any chance of His Highness the Crown Prince's determination, but the old man doesn't know. How will Your Highness Qi fulfill Li Zhi's entrustment?"

Seeing that Changsun Ji was unwilling to bow his head to him at this time, and instead blocked Princess Changle's entrustment, Li Yin was very upset.However, he is a trustworthy person, especially when the other party is his dead sister, so Li Yin finally replied: "It's very simple. My ninth brother and I don't expect the Changsun family to turn against us, but Datang wants to reform. In addition to the emperor, there must be a prime minister who can grasp the overall situation, but now the position of this prime minister is occupied by the eldest grandson."

When Li Yin said this, he looked at the other party with a smile on his face, and the meaning of his words was very clear.I just hope that Changsun Ji can take the initiative to give up the power of prime minister, which will not only save Li Zhi a lot of trouble, but also save the Changsun family.

"Hahahaha~, let the old man take the initiative to give up his position. Are you too confident, Your Highness King Qi?" Changsun Ji suddenly laughed. When Fang Xuanling was here, he had a high status, but he had no real power.Now it is hard to wait until Fang Xuanling's death, and there is no minister in the court who can provoke the post of prime minister.This is his turn to take the position. It can be said that he has waited for more than 20 years for this aspect, how could he give up on his own initiative?

Power is like a drug. Once you experience its beauty, it is difficult for people to let go of it, and sometimes it even blinds people's eyes. Even if disaster is imminent, they still refuse to let go of the power in their hands. He is extraordinary, but he is obviously lost in power. It is obviously not an easy task to persuade him to voluntarily give up his aspect.

But Li Yin was not in a hurry. He looked at Changsun Ji and shook his head, and then said: "Since Mr. Changsun is so obsessed with obsession, I have nothing to say, but since I have promised Fifth Sister , then I will never break my promise, I can promise my eldest grandson today, as long as you can voluntarily give up your aspect, then this king will save the lives of your family even if you owe Ninth Brother a favor!"

After Li Yin finished speaking, he turned around and entered the Taiji Palace without waiting for Changsun Ji to answer. Today, Li Yun and Li Zhen went to the palace to visit Li Shimin, and they and Li Zhi also wanted to get together. As for Changsun Ji, he had already told him Sincerity is established, the next step is to see the other party's own decision.

Seeing Li Yin leaving, Changsun Ji did not stop him, but just quietly looked at Li Yin's back, with complex expressions intertwined in his eyes.

After Li Yin's back disappeared on the other side of the palace gate, Changsun Ji suddenly sighed, and his body suddenly hunched down. He stood there for a while, and then sat down with heavy steps. own carriage.

When Changsun Ji returned to his mansion, he was a little surprised to find that his son Changsun Chong was waiting for him outside the gate.When he got out of the carriage, Chang Sun Chong immediately stepped forward to help him, and then showed a hesitant expression several times on his face, as if he had something to say to him. In addition, Chang Sun Ji also noticed that the corner of his son's eyes Reddish, as if she's been crying.

The so-called knowing son is like a father, the eldest grandson Ji found out that his son was abnormal, after a little thought in his heart, he guessed the reason, so after he and the eldest grandson rushed to his study, he immediately waved back the servants, and then said: "Chong Son, did Li Yin look for you?"

Hearing his father's words, Chang Sun Chong was also taken aback. He paused for a moment before replying: "Father, His Royal Highness King Qi did look for me before, and even let me read a letter written by Li Zhi!"

Changsun Chong is indeed infatuated with Princess Changle, and he also knows that Princess Changle is not very satisfied with him, but this does not prevent him from caring for Princess Changle. When Li Yin visited the sick Princess Changle, Changsun Chong wanted not to disturb Seeing her, she actually stood outside the door in the cold wind for several hours.After the death of Princess Changle, Changsun Chong fell into a lot of depravity. He got drunk every day in restaurants in Chang'an, and sometimes slept directly on the street when he was drunk. Changsun Ji felt very sorry for this.

"Sure enough!" Changsun Ji sighed. Li Min seems to be a frivolous person, but in fact he is thoughtful and his actions are even more secretive. He not only directly persuaded himself to give up his position to protect his family, but also came to see his eldest grandson beforehand. Chong, with his son's infatuation with Lizhi, he will definitely be moved even more when he sees Lizhi's letter.In addition, Li Yin will definitely explain to Changsun Chong the way to preserve the Changsun family, that is, to give up his aspect on his own initiative, so now that his son is looking for him, it must be to persuade him.

Changsun Chong was not stupid. Seeing his father's appearance, he immediately guessed that he should have seen Li Min. Now he became more courageous, and stepped forward to persuade him: "Father, King Qi and the Crown Prince are brothers, and both of them are brothers." Relying on the Great Tang, they will definitely help the prince carry out reforms, we cannot fight against them, so in my opinion, what our eldest grandson's family needs is to be wise and protect ourselves, and it is really not suitable to fight head-on with them!"

"Hmph, I don't want to fight head-on with King Qi and the others, but have you ever thought that if the crown prince is allowed to reform the Tang Dynasty, most of our family's financial resources will be blocked now, and my position as prime minister will also be blocked. Were taken away, and finally ended up with nothing but power and wealth, then what will our grandson family have? Why should we be listed as the top wealthy family in Tang Dynasty?" Changsun Ji said with a cold snort.In addition, he still has a word that he didn't say, that is, his younger sister, Empress Changsun, is not in good health. If she is gone one day, then for their Changsun family, they will lose their biggest support.

"Father, why are you so confused!" Seeing that his father was still obsessed with obsession, Chang Sun Chong suddenly changed his previous cowardice and said anxiously, "Power and wealth are things outside the body. It's very important, but no matter how important it is, it can't be compared with the lives of our family. If the crown prince really gets ruthless, he will be the first to attack our eldest grandson's family. What's the use?"

It was also the first time Changsun Ji heard his son say that he was confused, and he was taken aback for a moment, but after hearing Changsun Chong's words, his eyes blinded by power seemed to see a glimmer of light, and he couldn't help but bow his head and meditate. [

After a while, Changsun Ji raised his head to look at his son, and then said, "In addition to showing you the letter, what else did Li Yin tell you?"

At this time, Chang Sun Chong was regretting his boldness just now, and now he was relieved to hear that his father's words did not mean to blame him, and quickly replied: "Qi father, His Royal Highness Qi Wang helped me analyze the situation in front of me. In the current situation, let me persuade you a little more, and he also said...and said..."

At this point, Changsun Chong glanced at his father, but Changsun Ji snorted coldly and said, "What else are you talking about? Don't hesitate!"

"Yes, father!" Chang Sun Chong also plucked up his courage at this time, and said loudly, "In addition, His Royal Highness Qi Wang also said that if you are still obsessed, then I don't have to persuade you anymore, but he let me Take Yan'er to Taiwan, no matter what happens, we will save our father and son's lives!"

The Yan'er that Changsun Chong said was his and Princess Changle's son, Changsun Yan, who was only five years old this year. Because Princess Changle was in poor health, the imperial doctor advised her not to have children, but Princess Changle saw that her younger brothers and sisters all had children. , I was really lonely, so I ignored the danger of my life and gave birth to a son for Changsun Chong a few years ago. This is also the only child of their husband and wife.

After listening to his son's words, the stubbornness in Changsun Ji's heart also wavered a bit, but his face remained calm. After a long time, he suddenly let out a long breath and said: "You are so powerful, His Majesty King Qi, no wonder you can become a Lord of the country!"
