Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 270 Chapter 282
But just when Zuo Ming was preparing to return to Datang, the situation in Datang fell into a strange haze because of Li Chengqian's serious illness.

So far, no one in the entire imperial palace has been allowed to enter Li Chengqian's bedroom except the eunuch Zhao Si.

Li Chengqian's arrangement undoubtedly made some people who had already gained a firm foothold among the three princes panic. They didn't know who Li Chengqian would appoint as the new king, because the identities of Li Chengqian's sons were too embarrassing. .

The eldest prince Li Xiang has outstanding abilities, he is the one who resembles Li Chengqian the most among all the princes, but he is a concubine, and his natal family is not very noble, so his inherent advantages are too weak.

As for the third prince, Doctor Li, although his natal family is powerful, he is dull and honest, so he is really not suitable to be a king.But sometimes this kind of thing has no choice, at least those who support him will not give him a chance to choose.

There is also the fourth prince, Li Jun. Although he is extremely intelligent, he has been spoiled since he was a child and is extremely impulsive in his actions. Li Chengqian expelled him from Chang'an more than once.

Finally, there is the youngest fifth prince, Li Xinle.This prince's background is not small, and his mother is the former head of the Queen's Kingdom. Although the power of his mother's family has been greatly reduced since the Queen's Kingdom was merged into the Tang Dynasty, it is still a force that cannot be ignored.

Just these four princes are enough for those ministers to quarrel for a long time, not to mention Li Rong who is about to return from America.

As we all know, the second prince, Li Rong, was born of the empress. Although the identity of this empress is a bit embarrassing, the empress is a empress after all. At least everyone must admit this on the surface.

In addition, Li Rong has been following Tang Wang on his expedition to America for more than several years, and he has been firmly marked as the Tang Palace's imprint first, and Tang Wang has a very high right to speak in front of Li Chengqian, so for a while, the whole The voices in Chang'an to welcome Li Rong as the new emperor are also extremely high.

In such an environment, it is inevitable that people's hearts will fluctuate.Take the current concubine Su Gui, who is Wang Siyan’s cousin, for example. Half a month ago, she asked someone to bring a letter to Shendao, and handed it to Wang Siyan. I hope she can help her speak in Zuo Ming’s ear. With a few good words, let him support his son Li Yi to ascend the throne.

Besides her, Li Jun also asked his grandfather who was far away in the Caspian Sea to bring a letter to Shendao.

However, these actions of theirs were obviously in vain, because since Zuo Ming gave Wang Siyan and the others a successful blood exchange, they have been reluctant to participate in this kind of political movement.

When it comes to exchanging blood, one person has to be mentioned, and that is Professor Basunde.

This old man is not only immortal, but also has made some revolutionary progress in the reconstruction of severed limbs. Of course, Sun Simiao's help is indispensable for this.

And it was also under the strong alliance of these two old guys that Zuo Ming's blood exchange plan came to an end safely and successfully.

In order to repay these two old fellows, Zuo Ming Rupture gave them two places to exchange blood, but they turned out to be rejected at the same time.

According to Sun Simiao's words, Zuo Ming's immortality is not perfect, so he has to rely on his own ability to pursue his own eternal life - a complete immortality, a perfect immortality without the defect of infertility.

Sun Simiao's words were not outrageous. He is now 120 and four years old, so he is qualified to say such words.

As for Ba Songde, he was not a person who would easily admit defeat. Sun Simiao had already said such a thing, so he naturally wanted to show some guru style, so he also rejected Zuo Ming's kindness.

Putting these aside for the time being, the letters of those people still fell into Zuo Ming's hands after all, but Zuo Ming threw them into the fire without even reading them.

"Uncle Huang! Is your father's situation very bad?"

Seeing Zuo Ming burn those letters, Li Rong's expression flickered, and he asked cautiously.

"Excessive work, overdrawn mental strength. I have already explained to him, don't do everything yourself, what a stubborn donkey!"

With a dark face, Zuo Ming said angrily.

Others don't know about Li Chengqian's recent situation, but he does, because during this period of time, he has never broken contact with Li Chengqian.

"Is there no cure?"

With another flash of expression, Li Rong asked.

"Cure? If it was earlier, maybe it could be supplemented by recuperation, but now, he is exhausted, how can he be saved? What? Want to sit in that position too?"

Leaving Li Rong a sideways glance, Zuo Ming said coldly.

What annoys him the most is seeing these juniors scheming against each other. They don't even care about his father's life for the sake of the throne. They are just a bunch of white-eyed wolves.

Being swept away by Zuo Ming, Li Rong's heart skipped a beat, and he said with a bitter face, "Uncle Huang, what are you talking about? Since going to America, Rong'er has never thought about that position. Besides, Rong'er is now A large territory has already been established in South America, so there is no need to compete with the brothers for that position."

"Hmph! There is still a large territory? It is difficult for you to even manage Madrid! However, you are indeed right in one sentence. You cannot sit in that position. Your mother is more powerful than other women in the harem." Much smarter, I'm relieved that she didn't get involved. As expected of a girl from Yueying's family.

Don't think about anything else, no one can shake your mother's position, at least no one dares to do so before I die.All you have to do this time is to go back and spend time with your father and mother, and do your job as a son. "

He snorted again, Zuo Ming said.

"Yes! Uncle Huang! Rong'er knows."

Hearing Zuo Ming personally say that he has no hope, Li Rong inevitably felt a little depressed, but he still said honestly.

"Well! Whether you are sincere or false, I will take it as you understand what I mean. I hope you can adjust your mentality."

No longer looking back at Li Rong, Zuo Ming looked at the boundless sea in the distance, and said calmly.

Zuo Ming stopped talking, and Li Rong naturally stayed beside him obediently.

This silent journey lasted for half a month.Half a month later, Zuo Ming finally sailed into the Yellow River with more than 1000 cargo ships, and then all the way to the Wei River.

Naturally, such a big movement cannot be concealed from others, so almost at the same time, everyone knew that King Tang was back.Ever since, batch after batch of greeting cards were sent to the Tang Palace in Chang'an.

However, these invitations were finally set on fire by Zuo Lengchan, the head of the palace.

Zuo Lengchan himself certainly didn't have the guts to burn those invitations, Zuo Ming ordered it.

Seeing Zuo Lengchan again, Zuo Ming was very happy, gave him a bear hug, and walked through the familiar corridor into his small building.

"Leng Chan, come with me to Shendao. We don't want Chang'an's family business. After all, I can't decide everything here, and I don't feel comfortable living here."

When he came to the small building, after washing his face, Zuo Ming said kindly to Zuo Lengchan.

"My lord! You can't do this. You don't know what those people are talking about when you are not here! They say that you stand on your own as an emperor outside and support yourself with soldiers. It is really a wolfish ambition! If we leave Datang now Didn't the industry implement their slander? Absolutely not!"

Hearing that Zuo Ming wanted to give up the property in Chang'an, Zuo Lengchan hurriedly dissuaded him.

"And this matter? Who took the lead? How dare you!"

Hearing that when he was not around, someone would pull him back and slander him, Zuo Ming suddenly became furious.

He understands the reason why three people become tigers. This kind of matter must be handled properly, otherwise, it will definitely become a serious problem.

"Who else could it be? Isn't it the Jiangxia Palace and those clans? There are five people and six people in one person, and they never treat you as a serious prince!"

Mentioning this matter, Zuo Lengchan was also furious, obviously his life in Chang'an these years was not easy.

"Li Daozong? Is this old guy still alive?"

When mentioning Jiangxia Palace, Zuo Ming immediately thought of Li Daozong, and said in surprise.

"Li Daozong is dead! But isn't his son Li Jingheng still alive? Recently, he has made some military achievements in Persia, and has been authorized by His Majesty to become Li Daozong's prince. This guy is not a good bird. He often speaks of you in front of His Majesty." Bad words! It’s a shame that our in-laws are still in Chang’an, otherwise he might have gotten his way.”

Zuo Lengchan said indignantly.

"Li Jingheng? This bastard is really desperate! If I don't bother him, he should burn incense! Hmph! Li Daoyan! Li Daozong! These two guys are not good guys. Now that they are dead, it's their turn The younger generation came to do the right thing to me! Turn off the electricity in his house for me for a month, and then stop the running water for him too! Don’t make me feel better? I will let you have a good time first!"

Hearing that it was Li Jingheng who was messing with the wind and the rain, Zuo Ming immediately said with disdain.

"Hey! You really want to go with the little one! To tell you the truth, after hearing that you are coming back, the little one has asked people to stop the electricity and water in his house on his own initiative."

After listening to Zuo Ming's order, Zuo Lengchan suddenly smiled wickedly, and winked at Zuo Ming a few times.

This time, Zuo Ming was stunned, he never expected that after so many years, Zuo Lengchan would still look so funny.

However, after a short moment of astonishment, Zuo Ming happily gave him a thumbs up.

He was not angry because of Zuo Lengchan's self-assertion, on the contrary, he felt that this was the attitude Zuo Lengchan should have.He is his master, but in a sense, they are also friends who have been together for a long time!
