Chapter eight hundred and thirty first alternative uncle and nephew

Li Xu was in the Yue Palace for almost half an hour and then stood up to say goodbye.

After leaving the Yue Palace, he sat in his carriage, feeling a little confused for a moment, and didn't know where he should go.

It took him a long time to speak slowly.

"Go to Yongxingfang."

The carriage drove slowly, because Yongxingfang was very close to Chongrenfang, his carriage quickly stopped at the door of Princess Danyang's mansion in Yongxingfang.

No matter what, Li Xu was still the King of Song in the Great Zhou Dynasty. As soon as he got off the carriage, the people from the Princess's Mansion welcomed him in and brought him to the Princess.

The limping prince, the prince kowtowed respectfully to Princess Danyang, bowed: "My nephew has seen his aunt."

Now, many of the brothers and sisters of Emperor Zhongzong's generation, including Li Xu's father, King Song, have turned into dust. Princess Danyang is one of Li Xu's few elders.

Therefore, he respects his aunt from the bottom of his heart.

Princess Danyang quickly stood up, reached out to help Li Xu up, shook her head and sighed: "You are not convenient for your legs and feet, so why are you kneeling down for no reason?"

After Li Xu stood up, he smiled and said, "It is natural to kowtow to his aunt."

Princess Danyang helped him sit down, looked up and down at the eldest nephew, and then asked, "Why did Hachiro suddenly come to his aunt?"

"One is to see my aunt, the other is..."

Li Xu paused and said, "The second is to come and see the grandson of Prince Zhang Ming."

"You know, too."

Princess Danyang felt a little guilty. She lowered her head and sighed: "Old Eighth, my aunt was forced to do this. If it weren't for the court, my aunt wouldn't have responded to this matter anyway..."

"No."

Li Xu shook his head slightly and smiled, "Auntie, if Lin Zhao can keep his promise and leave Chang'an City, this matter will be a great thing for our family. Not to mention that Prince Zhang Ming's grandson ascended the throne, even if he lets his aunt's son sit in that position, there will be no problem."

Li Xu rarely smiles.

"My nephew supports this from the bottom of his heart."

Hearing his words, Princess Danyang's face changed slightly, and she glared at him: "Don't talk nonsense, my family is all foreign surname..."

"Just give an example."

Li Xu smiled and said, "I was struggling to the death, and what I asked for was this result. No matter how weak the court was, as long as it was still in the hands of our Li family, as long as the emperor's surname was Li, whoever became this emperor would recognize him."

Speaking of this, he lowered his head and pressed it, "Auntie, you have to know that in the current situation in Chang'an City, someone Lin wants to sit in that position, just in a moment."

"At this time, it is already..."

Li Xu paused and said, "It's already extremely rare."

"To be honest, my nephew is mentally prepared to usurp the throne."

The eldest princess looked at Li Xu and whispered: "I have discussed this with your uncle. Your uncle said that Lin Zhao did not sit in that position, not because he was a loyal minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but because the time was not ripe. If he sat on it now, he would be driven out of Chang'an like Kang Dongping in the future."

His Highness Song Wang whispered: "But in this way, the situation will be a situation where the princes compete for hegemony, and the great Zhou dynasty will really come to an end."

After the Fanyang Rebellion, the prestige of Li Zhou's court has been reduced to a certain extent. Until now, many remote yamen have no longer obeyed the court's constraints.

If Lin Zhao usurped the throne and had another Fan Yang Rebellion, the prestige of Li Zhou's court would be completely gone. Even if Lin could not become the emperor, the Li family would not continue to be the emperor.

When times come, the emperor will be the one who is strong in the army and horse.

Speaking of this, Li Xu looked at Princess Danyang and said, "Auntie, nephew... I want to meet Prince Zhang Huai's grandson."

In order to facilitate the recognition of the ancestors and return to the ancestors, during this period, Li Xuantong lived in the eldest princess's mansion. Li Xu came here specially, with the main purpose of meeting the future Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The eldest princess nodded: "He lives in the backyard, and I'll take you to see him later."

His Highness Song nodded and asked softly: "Auntie, what's this person's character?"

The eldest princess thought for a while, turned her head to look at Li Xu, and smiled bitterly: "It's so pure and not like the Li family. His temperament, whether it's studying or practicing, may become a sage, but not suitable to be an emperor."

"Lin Zhaofei will pick him up in that position, I'm afraid... in the future..."

"I'm afraid it will hurt him."

Hearing this, Li Xu was intrigued and said softly: "Please take me to see him."

The eldest princess nodded and said, "Just follow me."

She took a few steps, looked back at Li Xu's right leg, and whispered: "Do you want to find a sedan chair?"

Li Xu shook his head.

"Don't worry, my aunt, I'm not in the way, I just walk slowly."

The eldest princess nodded and took Li Xu to her back house and took him to the door of a small yard.

“He lives here.”

His Highness Song, who was limping, walked to the door of this yard, turned his head to look at the eldest princess, and whispered: "Auntie, my nephew wants to talk to him alone."

"You said that."

The eldest princess whispered: "I'll prepare some food for you, and you'll stay at the mansion for dinner today."

Speaking of this, the eldest princess of the Li family also sighed: "I haven't had a meal with you for a long time since your father left."

Li Xu nodded with a smile.

"Everyone is following the arrangements of my aunt."

The eldest princess shook her head slightly and sighed, turned around and arranged food for Li Xu.

His Highness Song stood at the door of the yard, hesitated for a while, and then reached out and knocked on the door of the yard.

Soon, a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe and slightly dark skin opened the courtyard gate.

The Taoist priest looked up and down at Li Xu a few times and blinked: "Brother, who are you looking for?"

"Look for you."

Li Xu smiled at Li Xuantong and stepped in.

Seeing that he had taken two steps, Li Xuantong found that his legs and feet were a little inconvenient, so he immediately stepped forward and walked to his right and supported his arm.

While supporting Li Xu, he asked, "What did you ask me for?"

"Come to find relatives."

Li Xu looked at Li Xuantong seriously and his voice was calm: "You and I are of the same clan. I heard that you have recognized your ancestors and returned to your hometown, so I came to see you."

"That's how it is."

Li Xuantong helped Li Xu, sat down on the stone bench in the yard, and then reached out and scratched his head: "Then...what should I call you?"

His Highness Song looked at Li Xuantong who was a little dazed and smiled and said, "My father and your grandfather are brothers. My father is Xingliu, and your grandfather is my uncle."

Li Xuantong became even more confused.

After all, he grew up in Taoist temples and had no relatives since he was a child. He couldn't figure out the relationship between the two people for a while.

"Then...what should I call you?"

"Uncle."

His Highness Song said softly: "You should call me cousin."

Hearing this title, the little Taoist priest finally understood.

He sorted out his clothes and bowed to Li Xu in a regular manner: "My nephew has met his cousin."

Li Xu had a smile on his face.

"No need to be so kind."

He asked Li Xuantong to sit opposite him. After the latter sat down, Li Xu asked softly: "You are here first, you have returned to the Li family. What are you going to do in the future?"

"I'm not going to do anything."

Li Xuantong scratched his head: "After my nephew recognized his ancestors and returned to his hometown, he established a throne for his parents, and then prepared to go to Xingyang to kowtow a few times in front of his benefactor Mr. Zheng's grave."

"After kowtowing to the old man, I will go back to Chunyang Temple and take care of my master."

"He is getting older and needs someone to take care of him."

Speaking of this, Li Xuantong sighed.

"But after recognizing my ancestors that day, my aunt refused to let me go. I was about to go to find my aunt and let her let me go to Xingyang..."
