Li Longji took his last breath and it happened half an hour later. Before his death, he had no concubines, children, or relatives, only a group of imperial doctors and eunuchs who were afraid of being punished. Therefore, when the emperor died in essence, they had to put a body under house arrest and were promised to save their lives. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and no one cried and mourned for the king. The tears at this time were not only unnecessary, but also caused him to kill himself.

Those who are loyal to the emperor are either discouraged or die or chased through repeated cleanings. Now, only Li Longji is left lying alone on the imperial couch, allowing his hands to apply spices on his body and place ice cubes beside him.

Now that everyone is dead, Du Shiyi is too lazy to stay in the same room with a dead emperor. He just thought about it and ordered someone to pass a message to Jiang Du and Dou E, saying that he had something to do when he went back, and asked these two left and right gate generals to take turns to guard Xingqing Hall. Even so, after finding out the news of his departure, almost no one in the royal family in the Sixteen Kings' House did not understand.

After being sentenced to death by Feng Li Gong, he was later reborn as a commoner. King Ji Li Huan and King Liang Li Zhang were also released from the palace. The two were frightened by this trip. They wished they would stay in the door and see each other when they came back, but they were blocked by their brothers. In addition, they were angry, so how could they not reveal some inside information?

Li Longji, who had been in power for more than 40 years and had been in power for a long time than any emperor in the Tang Dynasty, was probably dead. For them, it was like moving a mountain.

With only the last day left for the re-push, the mad dog Feng King Li Gong, who had no door on his mouth, died, and Li Longji died. Even though no one of the dragon, sons and grandsons dared to smile on their faces, all of them were heavy in their faces, and they were solemn and solemn in their clothes, but this did not hinder their happy mood. For example, after learning the news, Zhang Liangdi locked herself in the room and laughed happily. Finally, she held Li Heng's tablet in her arms, but tears rolled down in her eyes.

"Sanlang, it's a pity that you didn't live and saw this day that he would die, and the cruel emperor who treats his children and grandchildren as pigs and dogs will die."

After roaring a few times when he vented, Zhang Liangdi wiped his eyes with the sleeve of the robe and said with a smile: "But, Sanlang, if you become the emperor, you may be as affectionate as your father, and sooner or later you will forget me, the old man. Although Li is not so smart and filial piety is just pretending, but fortunately, he doesn't have much ability and can control it. Don't worry, if I become the queen mother in the future, I will not be like Empress Zetian, you will be my first man and my last man."

After crying and laughing, Zhang Liangdi had returned to normal when she returned to the front of the people. However, her slightly red and swollen eyes still showed her mood fluctuations just now. However, when Li learned that Li Longji might have died, he was also very disobedient. At this moment, he naturally felt more aware of Zhang Liangdi's expression. After all, they were all poor people who had lost the protection of a towering tree.

“How prepared?”

"Don't worry, Mother, Li Ying's sons were scared in the early years. It was just a lucky chance to rush out this time. How could I lose to them? I'm ready for everything." Li glanced at Yu Chaoen standing beside him and said in a confident tone, "You know, I am the one who escaped from the killing game in Youzhou. My destiny is with me or not."

Seeing Zhang Liangdi being stunned at first, then nodded with extraordinary satisfaction. Yu Chaoen smiled and said, "Before, the death of Princess Guangping and his son, it was said that the King of Wu was the leader of the thorough investigation, but he has not found anything, and no royal family has been interrogated. However, this time Li Gong was executed by Thunder. It was clearly the Prime Minister Du that gave everyone a measure. What we have won are the Dou family, Wang Zhongcheng, and many ministers who have sympathy and loyalty to the late Prince Yisu. Relatively speaking, King Yi is incompetent, King Ying is cowardly, and King Pingyuan has no foundation. There is no doubt that the king will win. Maybe this re-promotion will lay the overall situation."

King Li of Nanyang took Yu Chaoen to Youzhou, and after he came back, he was extremely favored by the middle-aged eunuch. Li Jingzhong saw it and felt a little crisis in his heart. However, now it is not the time to fight for power and profit, he can only say quietly: "But since it is an unnamed vote, even if someone fills the votes in front of you, it may not be guaranteed that this is true, so it is hard to say how accurate this so-called support can be. I have already received General Chen's promise that he will support the East Palace."

Li Jingzhong cleverly changed Chen Xuanli's promise a little, because Chen Xuanli's original words were that once Li Longji passed away, he would swear allegiance to the new king. But naturally he would not reveal that his contact with Chen Xuanli had nothing to do, so he could only exaggerate his words. Thinking of himself giving the heavy money that he should have given to Chen Xuanli to those imperial guards generals, he felt a little proud. He thought that Chen Xuanli had such a high prestige at Mawei Post and could not help but be forced to kill Yang Yuyao and Yang Guozhong by the generals. In this situation, as long as he held Chen Xuanli from the bottom up, these imperial guards would be still a problem?

"Where is the flying dragon cavalry? Where are the three town elites brought back by Du Shiyi?" Zhang Liangdi asked back, and seeing Li Jingzhong speechless, the others were also silent. She just stood up and said, "It is easy to invite the gods but difficult to send the gods. What's more, Du Shiyi came uninvited. He was carrying Erlang back to Chang'an with a fierce momentum, saying that he wanted to go back to appease Youyan. Princess Gu'an and Cui Wuniang had already fought the front station, but the rewards and benefits must be given enough to ensure that his adopted son Du Sui and the imperial guards were sent down to serve as guards for each family. He flattered me so much. So, you can think of a way for me. I want to meet his wife, the wife of Jin, Wang Rong."

Her husband and eldest son passed away. Zhang Liangdi is now mourning. He is not going to go out without seeing guests, but he is eager to follow the power, not to mention that now is an extraordinary period. Everyone knows that this contact is important, so the prince's villa is in chaos and does not know how many methods are used, and finally succeeded in such a meeting. Although the meeting place is not in the Sixteen Kings' House, but in front of Wang Yuanbao's former residence, it is enough to stare at the secret whistle of the East Palace. So, the royal grandson of the Ying Wang family "meets" Du Youlin, and the brother-in-law of the King of Yi "catches" Azle, and he asked the King of Pingyuan Li Shen to bite his silver teeth.

As the eldest son of the deposed prince Li Ying and Xue, he was different from others, and he came to Du's house to ask for a meeting. When Du Shiyi just returned, he proposed to elect the wise king on the diligent government office building. This private house was once popular, but so far, besides his former aides, the only ones who could enter here were Cui's mother and son, who had already "dead". Therefore, no one was optimistic about the Pingyuan King Li Shen who came directly to the door. But after half an hour of hanging the prince, there was finally news inside. Azler came out personally and invited Li Shen into this private house deep in the courtyard.

"Pingyuan Wang Ke still remembers, what exactly did your biological father and biological mother look like?"

Li Shen had prepared a lot of words to say to Du Shiyi, but at this moment, he heard the first sentence Du Shiyi asked him, and he threw all the high-sounding words out of the sky, because the long-lasting memories he particularly wanted to forget had been completely hooked up. When his father and mother were deposed and exiled to Lingnan, and the other was deposed in Youju Temple, he was already sensible. Therefore, he was sent to King Qing's house in a sad state and became the adopted son of King Qing Li Cong, who had no children. That experience was unforgettable and he would never forget it.

However, he can still remember the voice, appearance and smile of his adoptive father, but when Du Shiyi asked about his biological father and mother, he thought hard, but he was shocked to find that the indelible memory had already been shaken, and even the two faces were faintly vague. He only vaguely remembered that his father and mother were very loving and took good care of his children, especially his mother was never harsh on his illegitimate children. This also made them able to work together after being adopted by King Qing to survive that most difficult time.

Li Qiu, the King of Siqing, inherited the title of King Qing, and the father and son were determined. Even if Li Ying was posthumously granted his title, he could only call his biological father and uncle. However, Li Shen gave the title of King Siqing to his legitimate brother, and he was only the King of Pingyuan, so he could still call Li Ying a grandfather. If he couldn't answer Du Shiyi's previous question, he made up his mind and asked boldly: "Are Du Prime Minister and my grandfather familiar?"

"To be honest, I'm not familiar with it." Seeing Li Shen stunned by his answer, Du Shiyi smiled, "It was just that because he had compiled books in Lizheng Academy, he followed He Xueshi to teach His Highness a lesson by His Highness. Although because of his similar age, His Highness was quite kind to me and wanted to keep me as a lecture, his Majesty was decided by His Majesty, so there was only one chance to preach. When I returned to the court to be the servant of the Secretariat, His Highness was worried about his situation and asked the people around him to give me a note while giving me a squeak in the palace. At that time, I destroyed it and just thought that it was not the case."

The Pingyuan King Li Shen was completely unaware of these hidden stories that had been in the past twenty years. All he could do was listen to them blankly.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince thought he knew about this adventure, and he had never done such an unwise move. However, this matter was finally stabbed in front of the imperial court. So, late one night, I, who was in the palace, was urgently summoned to His Majesty, and His Majesty gave me a task to draft an edict to depose the Crown Prince. I was very surprised at that time and found a lot of reasons to help His Majesty make excuses. Who knew that His Majesty took the whistleblower to me in a flash."

Hearing this, Li Shen felt that his blood was cut off. He clearly remembered that his father was deposed not long before Concubine Wu Hui died, and at that time, Du Shiyi had already left the town. This means that when most people didn't notice it, Li Longji had planned to depose the prince.

"At that time, I remember that I was probably telling Your Majesty that although people serve His Highness the Crown Prince, all the kings in the world are kings, and all the kings in the boundaries are kings. He is Your Majesty's minister. He should have reported to Your Majesty in every detail, not to mention that such abnormal behavior has been delayed until now? As for the words that tactfully dispel His Majesty's suspicion, I can't remember it very clearly now." Du Shiyi smiled and said leisurely, "The reason why I still remember it is probably one of the extremely thrilling situations in my life. It's a pity that His Highness has been kept for a while and has not saved him for a lifetime."

Li Shen would never think that Du Shiyi used such a thing to gild his face. Li Ying had been deposed and died in Lingnan. What good is it for Du Shiyi to have something to do with such an abolished prince? Until now, Du Shiyi still claimed that his father was the crown prince. Thinking that Zhang Jiuling had also spoken to his father, but later he demoted Jingchu. When that major change came, no one in the court made a complaint for his father, he felt that his heart was completely tied together.

"I said this just to tell you that His Highness and the Crown Prince are not familiar with him, but I have always sympathized with his experience. But His Highness's mother clan is already in decline, and after so many years, it is far inferior to Prince Yisu's lineage. I came forward to ask for justice for them, just to ask for justice for them, not to let you, who have been living the second half of your life, go to this muddy water. So, why do you want to go out and compete for the throne? I know very well. But if you come with the goal of trying to motivate me, please go back."

"Captain Du"

"Please think about it, have you lived to this day, have you learned the minds of emperors, have you learned the study of governing the country, have you learned how to use people? When His Majesty was in a low position, he had also been with all kinds of religions, left the capital and went to Luzhou to experience the people's conditions, and once asked his confidants to make friends with the imperial guards, but what accumulation did you have in your residence in the 16 kings? How did Li Chongmao abdicate back then, do you know as the emperor's grandson?"

After asking repeatedly, Li Shen felt that he was shaking. He wanted to refute, but his head and mouth were not obedient to his orders. He sadly discovered that, as Du Shiyi said, compared to others, his so-called dark horse was really nothing, and he was unprepared for nothing. He only relied on his bloody courage to crash into the battle for the throne.

"Captain Du..." Li Shen finally spit out these three words with difficulty, and then murmured, "Why did I overshadow other people in the last recommendation?"

"It's just because I wrote a letter to ask you to regain the deposed prince and the title, that's all." After exposing this cruel truth, seeing that Li Shen was indeed completely depressed, Du Shiyi said: "Go back. I'll let Du Sui escort you. You don't have to worry about the future. With the lessons of Princess Guangping, whoever dares to be detrimental to you will end up with Li Gong. As for the future, your brother will be relieved."

When Azler came in and sent the lost Li Shen out, Du Shiyi couldn't help but think of the three Li Ying brothers who are still in the city.

He decided to use this throne as a poisonous bait, so that he would not harm the son of Li Ying, who was already in a miserable situation. It is strange that Li Ying once tried to recruit him, but also brought him a lot of trouble. However, he had no disgust for the deposed prince, but he always maintained sympathy for him. After being exiled to Lingnan, he tried to hide the truth and made it happen. Relatively speaking, Li Heng was just recruiting him, but he was full of war with him and took his life with the backhand as soon as he found an opportunity. As for King Guangping and King Jianning, it can only be blamed for Zhang Liangdi's selfishness.
