Chapter 210 Xiao Yu, who came to ask the guilt

The Winter Games are over, and contestants from all over the country who came to Chang'an to participate in the competition have also taken some burdens and hurriedly left Chang'an in a carriage. After all, it is already early December, and they are going to rush home to reunite with their wives and children before the New Year. In addition, the winners are naturally happy and deliberately hung their medals on their chests, preparing to go back to open their eyes to the people in their hometown. Although the people who did not win the prize are a little discouraged, they can come to Chang'an for a trip and witness the competition between the prince of the Tang Dynasty and the king of the Tubo country with their own eyes. This trip is worth it.

The gambling competition between the princes of the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo kings had already spread throughout Chang'an before the Winter Games. When Li Ke lived up to the expectations and took the lead in passing the finish line, several newspapers had already sent out the manuscripts prepared in advance as soon as possible. This was not because they had the foresight, but because they prepared two manuscripts in advance. One was to praise the princes for unity and cooperation, defeating countless difficulties and winning the game, and the other was to scold the Tubo kings for using all their sinister means, which led to the princes who were as pure as angels missing the victory. Fortunately, the first manuscript came in handy.

The victory of the princes was widely promoted by newspapers. In addition to focusing on reporting on Li Ke, they did not leave Li Yan and Li Yun, and they all praised them greatly. Even Li Shen, who was the first to withdraw, was praised as a good child. As a typical example and role model, they called on all children of the Tang Dynasty to learn from this young King Ji.

Although Songtsen Gampo was very dissatisfied with the loss and thought that it was very unfair to bully him by his brothers, he was not stupid, and knew that this was the territory of the Tang Dynasty. If he caught this and wanted to cause trouble, no one would pay attention to him, and he would even be scolded by countless people in the Tang Dynasty. So Songtsen Gampo had to choose to remain silent in the end, and naturally the marriage was abandoned.

However, just as the ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty were talking about the various competitions of the Winter Games, the upper class of the Tang Dynasty had no intention of discussing the Winter Games again, because they were all shocked by an explosive news. All the people who received this news all had the same idea, that is, King Li Yan of Qi was crazy!

What Li Yan said at the celebration banquet was spread throughout the Guizhou circle in Chang'an in the blink of an eye. However, it may be that because of too much reposting, everyone only cares about the key content. For example, Li Yan took the initiative to propose to Li Shimin that he gave up the right to inherit the throne. This is the focus of everyone's attention.

In the entire Guizhou circle of the Tang Dynasty, there were not one or two people related to Li Yan's interests. It can even be said that most people had a very close interest connection with him. Although not all of these people supported Li Yan's ascension, at least half of them hoped that he could replace Li Shimin. After all, in a society like the Tang Dynasty, having a person who has common interests with him sitting on the throne can make them feel more at ease.

It is precisely because of this. From the second day after the celebration banquet, Li Yan's mansion was almost broken, and he was rushing to meet and ask him clearly. As a result, when Li Yan saw these people, he was so scared that he went out from the back door to hide from Concubine Yang. It was not that Li Yan didn't want to explain. It was because there were too many of these people, and he was so tired that he couldn't be busy.

Concubine Yang had heard about yesterday, but she was very happy. As a princess who lost her country, she was disgusted from her heart that her son participated in the throne dispute, which was also the fundamental reason why she was a little alienated to Li Ke. After all, Li Ke’s little thoughts could not be hidden from her at all. However, since Li Yan was favored by Li Shimin, she has been calling for Li Yan higher and higher, both in the people and in the court. This made Concubine Yang often worried that Li Yan would be taken into the throne dispute. It was not until she heard the news yesterday that she finally felt relieved.

"Liulang, you can give up the throne voluntarily, and I finally feel relieved. Although you already have your own power in the court, the Changsun clan will never let the princes other than the legitimate son succeed to the throne. In addition, you have an irreconcilable conflict with the five surnames and seven hopes. If you let them join forces, it may be difficult for you to deal with it. Besides, the emperor's position is not so easy to sit. Just look at your father and you will know that you were also a person who was galloping among the troops, but now you are less than forty years old, but you are already slightly old. In addition, the most ruthless imperial family, I don't want my grandchildren to live in this cold and ruthless palace..."

Concubine Yang held Xiao Shengping in her cradle in one hand and talked to Li Yan while talking to him. This is the case for those who are mothers. No matter what their personality is, as long as they come to their children, they all tend to become aunts on the neighborhood committee.

Li Yan was already immune to Concubine Yang's nagging. Now he was crawling on the table and writing hard. There were so many people in his house. He thought it would be impossible to hide like this. He had to give an explanation to those who supported him, so he wrote a few articles from Concubine Yang and prepared to post them to the newspaper.

"Mother, how do you write the word "Jin" in progress?" Li Yan was stuck before he could write a few words. He had been in the Tang Dynasty for more than two years and could understand ordinary documents. However, when he was writing, he often forgot the traditional Chinese writing of a certain character, so he usually asked Wen'er to help write it. Unfortunately, he escaped today, and Wen'er did not follow him, so he was worried about letting others write it on his own, so he had to do it himself.

Concubine Yang was just talking, but after being interrupted by her son, she glared at him angrily, handed Shengping to the palace maid next to her, and wrote the traditional Chinese character "Jin". However, while writing, she nagged: "All of us are so old. We usually ask you to read more books and practice more characters, but you are just lazy. Now you can't even write a word. And look at the few words you wrote, if your father sees you, you will definitely be angry again."

Li Yan still had the same smiley expression when it came to Yang Fei's scolding. He was not really illiterate, and there was never a shortage of literate people around him, so there was no need to spend the energy to practice writing. Unfortunately, Li Yan didn't laugh for a long time, and he was stuck after writing a few sentences. As a result, he had to ask Yang Fei for advice with shamelessness. Then Yang Fei reached out and patted her son's head, snatched the things Li Yan wrote and kneaded them into a ball and threw them away. Then he picked up the paper and pen and asked Li Yan to dictate her to write.

With the help of Concubine Yang, Li Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to tell the article she wanted to write word by word. However, Concubine Yang became more and more excited as she wrote, because she really didn't expect that her son Li Yan had so many things he didn't know in his mind. Could it be that he could get so much support in the court? It turned out that his son was really capable!

When Yang Fei helped Li Yan finish writing the article, he had just sent someone to the newspaper, but the royal mansion actually sent someone to find him because there was a person who could not afford to offend him and insisted on seeing Li Yan. The other person Li Yan could hide, but he couldn't even hide. In desperation, Li Yan had to say goodbye to Concubine Yang and returned to Prince Qi's mansion dejectedly.

"Li Yan, you did a good thing!" As soon as Li Yan arrived at the palace hall, he immediately saw an angry old man yelling at him. Wen Xin was also sitting by the side. The only one who could make her princess come out of the inner house was Xiao Yu in Chang'an.

Li Yan would never dare to offend this grandfather who had helped many times. No matter how he scolded him, he could only listen with a smile and not dare to retaliate. After all, this old man dared not buy Li Shimin's face, let alone his grandson-in-law. Fortunately, Wen Xin knew his grandfather's temper, so he had come out to persuade Xiao Yu for a long time, which made the other party's anger relieved a lot.

After Xiao Yu cursed for a few words, he saw Li Yan smiling with a grudge and did not dare to say anything at all. In addition, Wen Xin was pleading with him, so his anger soon subsided. Finally, he sat on the chair and said, "Liu Lang, why are you crazy? You don't want a good throne, but you actually ran to the barbaric land outside to open up the land, and even Wen Xin was going to suffer with you?"

Seeing that Xiao Yu finally calmed down, Li Yan also breathed a sigh of relief. However, hearing Xiao Yu's last words made him look at Wen Xin apologetically. Unexpectedly, Wen Xin showed a reassured smile to Li Yan, as if telling him that no matter what choice he made, she would be with her side.

"Grandfather, don't be too excited. You are old and angry, and the reason why your grandson-in-law did this is actually due to helplessness!" Li Yan took the tea cup on the tea table and said helplessly while serving tea to Xiao Yu.

"Barring, you obviously have the advantage. Most Chinese military officials in the court hope that you can succeed the throne. Now you suddenly broke out such a news. Do you know how many people hate you so much that they were so angry?" Xiao Yu was so angry that he even swears. And the last sentence he said was the truth. Most people originally wanted Li Yan to succeed, but yesterday's news shattered all the hopes of these people, and they were naturally very angry. However, this matter was Li Yan's own choice, and he had already made a decision with Li Shimin two years ago, so they could not change at all, and they were naturally extremely angry.

"The Duke of Lao Guo doesn't know anything. Your Highness really has indescribable difficulties!" At this moment, someone outside the hall suddenly spoke. Xiao Yu was stunned when he heard this. He really couldn't imagine anyone in the Qi Palace dared to interrupt at this time?

When Xiao Yu looked up, he happened to see a man limping into the hall. He saw that he was fifty years old. Although his legs were disabled, he looked very elegant. He knew that he was a well-educated man. He could freely enter and exit the main hall of the Qi Palace, and his legs were disabled, so naturally only Wang Fu Wangan of the Qi Palace...)
