Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 541 The Dust Settles
"Tomorrow, I will go to the palace to meet my father, and persuade my father to issue an edict to change the crown prince."

In the evening, Xue Lang took a shower and returned to his room. Princess Pingyang's long hair was loose, leaning on the beauty's couch, shaking her fan while saying.

Xue Lang also had loose long hair... He had just washed his hair, and when he entered the room, he grabbed a cloth towel to wipe his hair. Seeing this, Lixue immediately came over, took his towel, and wiped his hair.

Regarding Princess Pingyang's words, Xue Lang smiled and asked: "Go to the East Palace today, have you reconciled with Erlang?"

Princess Pingyang sighed and said, "Never!"

Xue Lang was surprised: "Why?"

Princess Pingyang thought for a while, and said, "Probably because of disappointment!"

"Well?"

Xue Lang cast a puzzled look.Princess Pingyang said calmly: "I know that you let me go to the East Palace to give our siblings a chance to reconcile, but Erlang is no longer the Erlang of the past, and I am not the old me. There are big differences in ideas. Erlang Killing the elder brother and Yuan Ji, winning the battle for the heir, and persuading my father to change him to be the crown prince on the spot, I see the meaning behind his words, and it also has the meaning of convincing me!"

Xue Lang straightened his back: "Is there such a thing?"

Princess Pingyang nodded, and briefly told Xue Lang the information reported by A Kou. Xue Lang suddenly said, "It seems that the current situation is unstable and we need support urgently."

Princess Pingyang said: "I also speculate in the same way. As far as Yu Erlang is concerned, he and I have always been close. At this moment, I should stand up and support him. But as far as I am concerned, I can support Erlang, but I I also want to see how strange Erlang looks at the matter of killing elder brother and Yuanji!"

Xue Lang scratched his head, and said: "But everyone was killed, since Erlang dared to raise the butcher's knife, if he regretted it again... Now Erlang is at a time when he is full of ambition, and he will definitely not do such a thing!"

Maybe many years later, when he is also facing the situation where his sons are fighting for the reserve, His Majesty Tian Khan, who is brave and resolute, will feel guilty and remorse for the dead brothers, change their titles, give them honors such as posthumous titles, and change their treatment. Built with Yuanji's attitude.But not now!
Princess Pingyang said: "I'm not asking Erlang to regret this, I just want to ask him, did he hesitate when raising the knife to his brother and nephew! After the massacre, can he sleep peacefully?"

Xue Lang understands!Princess Pingyang actually wants to know if Erlang is still the loving and righteous Erlang in the past, the Erlang she can trust with all her heart!

Princess Pingyang sighed, and said: "I also know that for Erlang at this time, I am somewhat difficult, but that is my younger brother who was brought up by myself. The foundation I built was never handed over to my elder brother, nor to my father. , I handed it over to him, I want to know if I can still trust him like I did in the past!"

Xue Lang is silent. He understands Princess Pingyang's complex and contradictory feelings and thoughts. Princess Pingyang is not someone who does not understand political interests, but when it comes to the closest people, it is often difficult to make decisions based on reason.Because of the closeness of the relationship, we will be close, and because of the closeness, there will be many demands, so there will be sorrow, joy and sorrow.

Xue Lang sighed, and persuaded: "Erlang is in power at this time, and even the saints are forced to be subdued by him. It is the time when he is full of ambition and complacency. If you ask him like this now, you are bound to be disappointed!"

Princess Pingyang calmly said: "I know, and I expected it! However, someone must do this matter, and someone must mention this matter! He treated his elder brother and father like this today, and in the future, no one will follow suit! The day before yesterday Thing, the teacher of future generations! I am his elder sister, if anyone can pour cold water on him when he is full of ambition, that person is only me!"

"Jiangsu!"

Xue Lang was speechless. He originally thought that Her Royal Highness was guilty of Jian Jiancheng, but he didn't expect that there were so many complicated feelings and thoughts in it.

Princess Pingyang said: "Erlang used this method to win the imperial power and reserve position today. However, in the future, the situation in the palace will change and the imperial power will change. The struggle for imperial power will not end because of this. From then on, it will definitely not be peaceful again."

Her Royal Highness, what a vision!
Xue Lang, as a time traveler, naturally knew that everything was confirmed by Her Highness the Princess!It doesn't take long, in the future, Chengqian will also think about rebelling and seizing power, so why not set a good example for his father!
Xue Lang said: "The position is different, the thoughts and actions will be different. In my opinion, Erlang will not understand your deep meaning today. What you do will only hurt the relationship between siblings."

Princess Pingyang said: "I know, I should do something and not do something. These actions can not only express my worries in my heart, but also fulfill my responsibilities as a sister and a minister, and slightly round up my brother and sister. If you love me, I will do it. However, my husband will be dragged down by me!"

Xue Lang smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, speaking of it, I wanted to be an official, but I just wanted to live with a little dignity and didn't want to be precarious. Actually, I don't have much enthusiasm for being an official, but since I do it, I have to do my best. If you feel responsible, it’s fine if you don’t do it now!”

Princess Pingyang looked at him affectionately, and said: "For the public, I will enter the palace tomorrow, and I will persuade my father to issue a canonization edict for the crown prince, and order the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the canonization ceremony, so as to help Erlang stabilize the situation and people's hearts. For selfishness, it can be considered as my relationship with Erlang." The righteousness of sisters and brothers. So far, no matter how good I am to my father, my elder brother, and even Erlang! After that, I will no longer enter the court, and I will be at home. Husband and wife live together, what is your wish?"

Xue Lang happily nodded vigorously: "Okay!"

Princess Pingyang smiled sweetly: "Since that's the case, why doesn't your husband take his wife to bed?"

"A beloved wife has a life, don't dare to refuse!"

Xue Lang stepped forward with a smile, picked her up firmly, and walked towards the inner room.The maids looked at each other blushingly, and retreated quietly like a tide. Only the husband and wife were left in the room, talking softly, and the whole room was full of spring.

On the second day, when Xue Lang got up early in the morning, Xue Lang went to prepare the menu for the saint's birthday in a refreshed manner. Princess Pingyang tied up her hair in front of the mirror, and went directly to the palace. After discussing with the saint for more than an hour——

"presumptuous!"

The sage scolded, and immediately became disheartened, and asked scoldingly, "Erlang asked you to come?"

Princess Pingyang knelt on the ground and denied it: "No. My daughter is here today for the ancestral temple, not Erlang."

"Zongmiao Sheji?"

The sage gave her a suspicious look, and Princess Pingyang said calmly: "Exactly. It has only been nine years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. It is not easy to establish a country in the Tang Dynasty. The founding and founding of the country was made by the father's painstaking efforts. How could the father destroy it? Father, since Erlang's great power has become Why not make it perfect for him? Perfecting Erlang is not only for him, but also for the sake of the ancestral temple, the country, and the friendship between father and son!"

The sage was silent for a moment, then sighed, "You... are right!"

"Then, father..."

"That's all! Let Wen Daya come, I will issue an edict!"

"Father Shengming!"

The sage smiled wryly, and said, "If I am a sage, how could I be in this situation? Since Erlang wants it, let him be with him. One day he will know that this world is not easy!"

Princess Pingyang remained silent and only knelt and kowtowed to the saint.The sage sighed, pulled her up, and suddenly asked, "Have you got a name for Shui Nu?"

Princess Pingyang said: "Never, not yet three years old."

The saint said: "Why don't I take one with her today?"

Princess Pingyang laughed and said: "It would be an honor for Shui Nu to be named by my father. Please give me a name by my father!"

The sage said, "Let's call it pure consciousness."

Pure Consciousness...Xue Pure Consciousness...

Princess Pingyang saluted again: "Thank you father for giving me the name!"

In the summer of the ninth year of Wude, on June 24, Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan issued an edict, canonizing the second son Shimin as the prince, and at the same time canonizing the eldest grandson of the princess of Qin as the prince concubine.
