Among Ye Chang's earliest aides, Wang Changling was relatively old, so it was normal to have such feelings. He also heard that Ye Chang was planning a 70-year-old retirement system recently. The subordinates under him had to retire at the age of 70 and receive a considerable salary for their pride. They could supervise the administration of younger generations, but they should not be directly involved.

"Brother Changling said this? Even if you want to retire, I want to ask you to postpone it. The saint is almost eighty, and yet..."

Ye Chang said this, suddenly, he was interrupted by the bell coming from afar.

Since the Han people in the Central Plains returned to Liaodong, the religious culture of the Han people will naturally return to Liaodong. Most famous mountains and monks in the world were prevalent. However, during the Li Tang Dynasty, Taoism was prevalent, so there were many famous mountains and rivers on the land of Liaodong. In order to prevent monks and Taoists from accepting lazy and greedy people, tainting their doors and corruption, and destroying the world, Ye Chang had mandatory regulations in the monks and temples in Liaodong: You should not beg for food, don’t do it for a day, don’t eat for a day, and have a year of

If you don’t weave, you will not have any clothes for a long time; the merits you receive can be used to build temples, temples, rituals, and children of Keats. These precepts seem harsh, but the monks and real people who have a little knowledge understand that this is a ten thousand-year plan for the two families of Taoism and Buddhism and the secular world to coexist for a long time, and it is also the only way for them to preach the Dharma in a short time. Therefore, the two families of Taoism and Buddhism both dispelled the opinions and accepted them all.

All of these temples have bronze bells. In addition to reporting the time, the bells also have the function of sending messages and warnings. Just like when the connection sounded nine times, it was stopped, which proved that something big happened in the court.

"The saint is dead," Wang Changling's face changed.

Nine tones either represent the death of the old emperor or the ascension of the new emperor. At this time, the most likely thing is of course the death of the old emperor.

They just mentioned Li Longji, but now they suddenly heard about Li Longji's death, which had a great impact on everyone, so everyone looked at Ye Chang with strange eyes.

Ye Chang's brows frowned.

Although he lives in Liaodong, he would not have any contact with Chang'an. He had long known that Li Longji was seriously ill through secret channels, but because there was no edict to call him back to Beijing, he believed that Li Longji's illness this time was as dangerous as the previous few times.

But why did he die? Is there anything unusual behind this?

At the beginning, he suggested to Li Longji that "Sacred Grandson" had his own purpose. Li Longji's sons were not good, and the grandsons were not good either. Perhaps only King Jianning was better, but because he was Li Heng's son, it was impossible to inherit Dabao.

A mediocre emperor is more conducive to Ye Chang's future layout than a wise emperor.

Li Qiu was not the ideal candidate for Ye Chang, but he was not the worst candidate. Therefore, even though Li Qiu was neither alienated nor close to Ye Chang, Ye Chang never had any negative impact on his succession.

Moreover, Ye Chang also arranged someone to be with Li Qiu.

Although Li Qiu was afraid of the news he received, he would occasionally complain, but he did not have much hostility.

"Sorry, I originally wanted to plan the autumn harvest with you all, but now I can only annoy Brother Lao Changling." After thinking for a while, Ye Chang bowed to Wang Changling with apologies: "No matter what, I have to go back to Lushun first... Everyone, I'll say goodbye."

Ye Chang was quite humble. Before the muskets and cannons were installed, with the advantages of steel casting, Ye Chang's troops under the Liaodong marching commander could suppress the two countries of Bohai and Silla at the same time. It can be said that both countries were beaten up by Ye Chang. If Ye Chang didn't ask for trouble, he would be thankful that there was no time to harass Ye Chang.

"Is there something wrong in the court?" Shou'an said tremblingly: "Is it because my father passed away? Could it be that he died, but that he was a traitor who was assassinated?"

She had this speculation, which was inevitable. After all, during the period when Li Longji went from seriously ill to death, the court's various measures were really suspicious.

"Don't draw conclusions in this matter and wait for other news from the court to come." Ye Chang did not deny this possibility, nor did he confirm it.

In his guess, Li Qiu did not have such courage to poison Li Longji to death. After all, as long as there was a flaw in this matter, the ministers and generals would not tolerate it. However, it is not ruled out that some villains wanted to take a chance and figured out Li Qiu's intentions to do this. Li Qiu pretended not to know, and even followed the flow.

"If the father is really harmed by evil spirits, what should you do about Shiyilang?" Shouan raised his eyebrows, and when the heroic aura of stabbing Li Jingzhong was revealed, she asked Ye Chang.

"I have brought troops to avenge Your Majesty." Ye Chang said without hesitation: "But there is no evidence for this matter. It is not enough to convince the public by relying on speculation. Others think that we are going to usurp the world..."

"King Wei, the angel has arrived, right in front of the door." Before Ye Chang finished speaking, the guards outside reported.

"Huh?" The messenger who was confessing his grief left, and a new messenger came again. There must be a name behind this. Ye Chang and Shou'an looked at each other, and Shou'an hurriedly summoned the maid, changed into Ye Chang's mourning clothes, and then asked the messenger to enter.

The messenger looked tired. Seeing that he was unfamiliar, Ye Chang did not rush to salute him, but asked, "Who is the order of the envoy?"

"The prime minister has an order to be the chief grandson of the country." The envoy also knew that Ye Chang was confused, and explained, "Please accept the order."

"How can the grandson be ordered to be ordered?" Ye Chang did not speak, and a staff member behind him said, "You messenger, are so confused."

"The grandson ascended the throne in front of the spirit of the late emperor." The envoy lowered his head: "Therefore, he was appointed as the emperor... King Wei...

"So fast?" Shouan browned and said, "Is there any change in the court? Are you a forgery?"

The messenger complained secretly, knowing that the mission would not go smoothly, but it still made him feel a headache because of such trouble.

Ye Chang waved his hand and signaled everyone not to argue anymore. Then he set up an incense table and bowed to receive the order. Li Longji met him with special kindness and allowed him to worship and not kneel down. When he received the order, he bowed and bowed to him, and the messenger had nothing to say.

Li Qiu's decree was very long, but the meaning was simple. He asked Ye Chang to be the commander of the mountain tomb to return to Beijing quickly and preside over the burial of Li Longji's coffin.

This will is exactly contrary to the meaning sent by the messenger before. One is to summon him to Beijing, and the other is to ask him not to enter Beijing. They are in conflict with each other, making Shou'an's expression even colder.

There is no doubt that something must have happened in Chang'an City, so such conflicting intentions have been passed down one after another.

"I received the order." Ye Chang's expression did not change. His original plan was that he would enter the capital regardless of whether the court summoned him or not. Now this order just made him enter the capital without ordering, and it turned out to be ordered to enter the capital.
