Chapter 56 Ascension to the Throne

After hearing Li Dan's words, Li Longji was surprised and his eyes fell all over the floor.

Li Longji came back this time to deal with the accumulated problems in the country and did not have the idea of ​​becoming an emperor. Li Longji recognized Li Dan's father from the bottom of his heart. This is a rare good father and is very good to his children, especially Li Longji. It is a blessing in life to have such a good father.

In Li Longji's mind, Li Dan's emperor is not much different from being an emperor, and Li Dan almost obeys him. Moreover, Li Dan delegates power to him, Li Longji supervises the country, which is equivalent to Li Dan's shadow, and he says whatever he says.

But he didn't expect that Li Dan would abdicate. This was too surprising and shocked Li Longji.

Although Li Longji knew that Li Dan had abdicated in him in history, he was still shocked when he heard Li Dan's words.

"Father, you..." Li Longji, who has always spoken quickly, stuttered this time.

"Sanlang, my father has been carefully considered." Li Dan took Li Longji's hand and sat on the throne, asking Li Longji to sit next to him, looking at Li Longji, very kind and loving.

"Sanlang, let me say something to you, don't laugh at my father." Li Dan frowned and said, "In the past, the Wu family was rampant, and our family was bullied by the Wu family. At that time, the father was thinking that if he could save his family and life, the father would be enough in this life. What the father could not imagine was that Sanlang, you were so great that he defeated the Wu family, but also forced his mother to abdicate and helped his father to the throne. All of this, now when you look back, the father is still dreaming."

Li Dan has no extraordinary talent or strong character. In the days when he was bullied by Wu's family, if he could save his life, he would burn incense.

At that time, Li Dan was worried all day long and didn't dare to tell anyone.

It was not until Li Longji rose strongly and fought with the Wu family again and again, which made the Wu family unable to do anything, that Li Dan felt a little relieved.

Later, Li Longji made great contributions, which greatly improved the status of Li Dan's family. Li Dan still never thought that he could become emperor. Until Li Longji forced Wu Zetian to abdicate and helped Li Dan to the throne, he was still dizzy and could not distinguish between east, west, south and north.

Looking back on all this, he still feels like dreaming.

"Father, this is what a child should do." Li Longji respected this father very much.

"Okay! Good Sanlang!" Li Dan patted the back of Li Longji's hand, smiled with relief, and said, "You are so filial. You are naturally happy to be a father. However, you are ashamed of your father. You cannot give you peace of mind. But you want to shelter you from the wind and rain for your father, and you feel guilty for your father."

Having a capable and filial son like Li Longji is certainly gratifying and ashamed. Because as a father, he cannot block disasters for his children, but instead asks his son to shelter himself from the wind and rain, which makes him feel really uncomfortable.

"The three years of being emperor for a father are the most satisfying years." Li Dan's smile on his face became stronger and said, "As a father, I thought it would be good if I could maintain my achievements and not damage my ancestors' foundation. But I didn't expect that Sanlang, you are so great that you actually destroyed Tubo, pacified India, conquered Pakistan and Afghanistan, and defeated Dashi. The countries in the Western Regions asked to surrender. This achievement and deed were not inferior to Emperor Taizong, which was far beyond the idea of ​​being a father."

Li Dan is not a good emperor. The reason why he says this is not only because he has no extraordinary talent and strong character, but also because he has no ambitions.

Ambition may not be a good thing, but being an emperor cannot be without ambition. It is difficult for an emperor without ambition to achieve decent achievements. Li Dan never dreamed that he would achieve such brilliant achievements in the past three years as emperor. This kind of achievement is not inferior to Emperor Taizong of Tang's external martial arts, and even better than that.

"Next, we must have a battle with Dashi." Li Dan continued: "I don't know much about military affairs, let alone proficient in it. However, I know that this must be a life-and-death battle. If the Tang Dynasty wants to defeat Dashi, it must mobilize its power to dominate the country. And, more importantly, it is necessary to ask a wise emperor. Ask yourself for your father, it is not a good emperor who leads the Tang Dynasty to fight against Dashi, but it is better to make you an emperor."

Li Dan was the truth, and he said it very sincerely, which moved Li Longji.

"Father, you don't have to do this." Li Longji said with tears in his eyes: "The father has always trusted the child very much, and he is grateful to him. He should do his best to assist the father in achieving this immortal cause."

Li Longji is also the truth. Li Dan heard it and was extremely helpful. He was very curious in his eyes and smiled and said, "Sanlang, I believe in your filial piety for my father. However, if you have a promising father, you will always have more or less sincere elbows. Rather than this, the father is better to pass it on to you."

This is also the truth. As long as the emperor Li Dan is still there, no matter how trust Li Longji is, he will always be more or less hindered. He will pass the throne to Li Longji and let Li Longji become the emperor, there will be no such thing.

"If you want to fight against Dashi, you must first solve the domestic problems. But if you think about the domestic problems for your father, there seems to be nothing wrong. Saburo, you are back this time to solve the domestic problems. I believe you have already seen it very clearly." Li Dan continued: "If you still become the emperor for your father, you will not be able to completely solve the domestic problems. If you cannot completely solve the domestic problems, you will not be able to fight against Dashi."

There were many problems in the Tang Dynasty, but Li Dan had no extraordinary talent and had not seen it.

"Don't talk about this matter anymore. Your father's will has been decided." Li Dan smiled on his face and said, "You have issued an order to make a royal robe for you, and I hope it will be in line with you. Tomorrow, you will announce this matter for your father."

"Father." Li Longji was so excited that he hugged Li Dan tightly.

Li Dan is not a good emperor, but he is definitely a good father. He has thought about everything for Li Longji, which makes Li Longji extremely excited.

The next day, morning court.

The ministers came to court and saw Li Dan's ritual. Di Renjie stepped forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have a memorial..."

Li Dan waved his hand to stop him and said, "Mr. Guo, please submit a memorial and allow me to tell me something."

Di Renjie had no choice but to temporarily suppress the plan to preach and wait for Li Dan to speak.

"I have been emperor for three years. Looking back on these three years, it's like a dream." Li Dan stood up and glanced at the ministers and said.

The ministers heard it in their ears, and they were confused.

Li Dan suddenly mentioned his feelings for the past three years. Why is this? Li Dan is not a good emperor, but no matter how bad the emperor is, he will not mention this matter for no reason. The ministers must be surprised.

"I didn't expect that such great achievements would be achieved in the past three years. Destroy Tubo, pacify Tianzhu, conquer Pakistan and Afghanistan, conquer the Western Regions, and expand the territory for thousands of miles. This was not such a grand event in the history of the Tang Dynasty." Li Dan said with excitement, "Such a grand event is no less than that of Emperor Taizong, and I am enough!"

"..." The ministers were collectively absent.

The more Li Dan said, the more confused he became.

"My intention is decided: I am in charge of the prince!" Li Dan said last.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

The ministers suddenly exploded, all of them stunned with a haunted expression on their faces.

Although Li Dan was not a good emperor, he had no extraordinary talent, no strong personality, nor ambition, he was a good person and gentle person. This emperor was still stable, and his ministers recognized him from the bottom of his heart. There were very few emperors like him who were good men in history.

Even an emperor like Emperor Taizong of Tang was not so easy to serve. If he was not good, he would be dismissed from office and his title. An emperor like Li Dan was very easy to serve. It was a very happy thing to serve such an emperor.

However, no one expected that he would abdicate.

The ministers knew that the throne would fall to Li Longji one day, but they never dreamed that it would be so fast.

"What? What? What? Your Majesty wants to abdicate?"

"Is there something wrong with my ear? Did you hear it wrong? Can you tell me?"

"How can I tell you? I'm still wondering if something is wrong with my ears."

"How could Your Majesty abdicate? He has already abdicated once. Is he addicted to abdication?"

After a long time, the ministers realized and screamed in dismay.

Even Di Renjie and Wang Xiaojie, a well-established and swearing, shocked Mo Ming and shouted loudly.

What makes them hard to believe the most is that Li Dan has clearly abdicated once, and this is the second time he abdicated. Is Li Dan addicted to abdicating?

Li Dan's first abdication was to give the throne to Wu Zetian.

In Chinese history, although there are not many emperors who abdicated, there are still some. However, only Li Dan abdicated twice in his life.

"Your Majesty, are you telling the truth?" Di Renjie finally reacted and asked Li Dan.

"June has no jokes! Of course it is true!" Li Dan raised his head and chest with no vague affirmation.

"Your Majesty, you didn't tell lies?" Wang Xiaojie still didn't believe it.

"Wang Xiaojie, look at me, it seems like I'm telling a lie?" Li Dan pointed at his nose.

Wang Xiaojie didn't care about etiquette, and his tiger eyes widened, looked Li Dan up and down carefully, and said blankly: "It seems that maybe... it's not fake."

"Are you talking nonsense?" Li Dan said angrily: "This is something I have thought about deeply, how can there be false?"

Turning his head, he rushed to Jia Ming, and said, "Go! Take the prince's robe."

Jia Ming responded and hurriedly went to handle the matter.

Ministers, look at me, I look at you, I have to believe it. Li Dan even prepared Li Longji's imperial robe, and the matter of passing the throne must not be fake.

Not long after, Jia Ming led a team of palace maids and eunuchs to turn around. They held the imperial robe and crown in their hands, and there were also things that the emperor used to ascend the throne.

"The true transmission position is here!"

The ministers had to believe it.

"Haha! The prince is the emperor, it's so good."

"The prince is extremely wise and not under Emperor Taizong, there is a good emperor in the Tang Dynasty."

Immediately afterwards, the ministers were looking forward.
