Concubine Yang is a woman who is rare to see in a thousand years. Emperor Li Longji even wanted to take her away from his son even at the expense of the reputation of crawling into dust.
In fact, all the princes were older than Concubine Yang. How could they not be tempted by the stunning beauty they had seen once in a thousand years? But they were tempted, just thinking about it in their hearts. Even if they were given a hundred courages, they would not dare to pay.
Actions.
But things are different now. Concubine Yang is missing, which means whoever finds her will own her. Emperor Li Heng is arranging for a secret search, and Li Lin is also arranging for a secret search.
It's just that Li Lin sent people to monitor Yang Yupei, the wife of Guo State, to find Concubine Yang.
As Yang Yupei moved to Longyou, Li Lin gradually guessed that the imperial concubine was in Longyou, but would the imperial concubine be in Li Ye's hands? Li Lin had always had this suspicion.
"Where did you find the imperial concubine?" Li Lin asked.
"In a Taoist temple called Baiyun Temple, the imperial concubine changed her name to Yuzhu Zhenren and is now a monk in the Taoist temple."
Li Lin was overjoyed that the imperial concubine was not possessed by Li Ye, but became a monk.
He asked urgently: "Are you sure?"
Xia Shiming nodded, "I'm sure of my humble position, and Eunuch Gao also confirmed it. It's just that the Taoist temple was strictly guarded and we couldn't contact it, so we didn't get to see the imperial concubine in the end, but she must have become a monk inside."
Even Gao Lishi has confirmed it, so it can't be false. Li Lin was completely tempted at this time. Now he is fully qualified to possess the imperial concubine. If he can also get a glimpse of the imperial concubine's beauty, he will be in trouble for the rest of his life.
Generally speaking, the degree of expansion of a man's lust is related to the fullness of his waistline and the height of the veil on his head.
Li Lin was already the local emperor of Bashu. He also wanted to taste the taste of a noble concubine. It was no longer an unattainable goal for him.
However, the most urgent task was to get the remaining six treasures first.
Thinking of this, Li Lin asked Xia Shiming: "Who is responsible for guarding the Six Treasures of the Supreme Emperor now?"
"It is kept by the Supreme Emperor himself, but Eunuch Gao can use it, and sometimes Wang Min can also have access to it."
Wang Min was one of the eunuchs close to the Supreme Emperor. Li Lin nodded, he had a solution.
It has been three days since Gao Lishi returned to Tongtian Temple, but he has not seen the Supreme Emperor because the Supreme Emperor went up the mountain to listen to sermons.
This made Gao Lishi a little confused. The Supreme Emperor, who had always been keen on fighting for power, actually pursued immortality. So what was the point of going to Longyou after all the hard work?
At noon, Gao Lishi was taking a nap. A young eunuch came to push him awake and said, "Ah, the Emperor is back!"
Gao Lishi stood up quickly, put on his shoes and walked out of the gate. He saw a hundred guards guarding an eight-person sedan coming from the mountain road, followed by more than twenty eunuchs and maidens.
At this time, the sedan curtain was opened, and the Supreme Emperor Li Longji, who was wearing a golden crown and a bright yellow Taoist robe, said with a smile: "I have kept you waiting for a long time."
Gao Lishi stepped forward, saluted and said with a smile: "As long as the emperor's dragon is in good health, I will rest assured!"
"Not bad! I ate well and slept soundly. After staying at Sanqing Temple for three days, I really feel that my body is much refreshed. It is worthy of being a paradise in the cave, the best place for immortal cultivation in the world."
"Your Majesty, actually Tongtian Temple is not bad."
"Indeed, Tongtian Temple is also very quiet. I want to take a nap and talk to Gao Weng later!"
"Your Majesty, please!"
Li Longji went to the backyard, and Gao Lishi also returned to his room.
Now Gao Lishi is also very old and no longer has the energy to take care of the daily life of the Supreme Emperor. The eunuch who now takes care of the daily life of the Supreme Emperor is called Wang Min, who is about thirty years old and has a shrewd face.
The Supreme Emperor rested, and Wang Min hurriedly came to see Gao Lishi.
Gao Lishi waved his fan and asked: "Why would the Supreme Emperor think of going to listen to the sermon?"
"Replying to Aweng, it was Master Qingfeng of Sanqing Temple who sent the invitation. The emperor happily agreed, and it is useless for me to object."
"Just this once?"
"It seems that there will be another one after a while, three times in total. The emperor said that he would go at least twice, but the next two times do not need three days, one day is enough."
The day was almost gone, and Gao Lishi really didn't want the Emperor to bother him anymore. If he was in an unfamiliar environment, how could he sleep soundly and eat well? You could tell by looking at the exhausted look on the Emperor's face.
In the evening, after a good sleep, the Supreme Emperor Li Longji summoned Gao Lishi and asked about Longyou. He didn't have much interest in the imperial concubine anymore. When he heard that the imperial concubine had become a female Taoist priest, he just said "Oh!"
After a while, he no longer cared, he was more concerned about Li Ye's attitude.
"Your Majesty, King Qi accepted the Xinbao. He is very interested in your Majesty's plan. After a deep discussion with the old slave, he put forward his own conditions."
"What other conditions does he have?" Li Longji frowned.
"He said he wanted to see the emperor's sincerity!"
"I gave him the Emperor's Xinbao. Isn't my sincerity enough?"
Gao Lishi sighed and said: "Your Majesty, it was actually because of the Fourteenth Lang. Li Ye was worried that he would be too busy, and finally made a wedding dress for the Fourteenth Lang. The old slave could see that he was tempted, but he also understood his worries.
"
Li Longji's expression became gentler, this is indeed a problem. He and Lao Si live together, so it is normal for others to worry."
"Then what sincerity does he want?"
"He wants His Majesty to promise him in writing that he will be the heir to the throne."
Li Longji suddenly understood, "Does he want me to issue a decree and canonize him as the emperor's grandson?"
"It doesn't have to be the emperor's grandson. He only needs the emperor to make it clear that he is the heir to the imperial power."
Of course Li Longji is not stupid. He knows very well what this imperial edict means. Maybe Li Ye legally ascended the throne based on his own edict.
"The Divine Treasure and the Mandated Treasure are in the hands of the Emperor, and a piece of imperial edict may not be enough!" Gao Lishi reminded in a low voice.
Li Longji nodded silently. It would be okay not to identify him as the emperor's grandson, but only as the legal heir to the throne. The two are not the same thing. The emperor's grandson is the only heir to the throne, but there are many legal heirs, including all his children and grandchildren.
legal heir.
The legal heir is only qualified, but it does not mean that he can ascend the throne legally. He must issue an edict of abdication, hold a throne transfer ceremony, and hand over the eight treasures in front of all civil and military officials. This is called ascending to the throne legally.
As long as the divine treasure and the ordered treasure are not in Li Ye's hands, Li Longji felt that this condition was acceptable and said after a while: "Let me think about it again!"
Thinking about it for two days is a good habit. People often get hot-headed and decide to do something, and then regret it when they calm down. So don't agree to something immediately. Thinking about it is the best way.
Chengdu Tea Horse Inn is a time-honored chain store opened when Emperor Zetian was in power. There are five stores in Chengdu. They are all currently owned by Gao Lishi and run by Gao Lishi's adopted son Feng Qunong.
That morning, Feng Quanong was sitting alone drinking in the inner hall of the Wangjiang branch of the Tea Horse Inn. This was a place where he often stayed. Behind the inn was the Minjiang River. If anything happened, he would immediately board the boat through the back door and leave.
He was under great pressure during this period. King Li Xi of Jing invited him to drink twice, but he declined both times. Li Xi was the eldest son and heir apparent of Li Lin, the crown prince's younger brother.
Feng Quanong knew Li Xi's intention very well. He was forcing him to hand over his father's wealth. His father's Baoshou Tower was one of the four major treasure houses in Chang'an. He had previously transported 20% of the treasure house's wealth to Chang'an, but all the results
Swallowed by the emperor.
There were 80% of the treasure left, which was secretly hidden by Gao Lishi, but the emperor's younger brother Li Lin was still keeping an eye on it. Li Lin couldn't come forward, so he asked his eldest son Li Xi to control the matter. Gao Lishi and his son must get rid of the treasure house as soon as possible.
Hand over your wealth.
Feng Quanong didn't want to trouble his father, but the crisis was imminent. Li Xi invited him to drink for the third time tomorrow. If he refused again, Li Xi would take action directly.
How to do this?
At this time, the shopkeeper hurriedly came over and bowed: "Master, there is a man in front of you, holding Aweng's longevity card and saying that he wants to meet the master!"
Are you holding your father’s Baoshou tablet? The Baoshou tablet has been given to others for a long time, so why is it here again?
Feng Qunong felt very strange. After thinking about it, he still ordered: "Invite him to the back hall!"
