Speaking of which, there is both Mr. Wang's failure and an element of coincidence.

After Li Chongrun died, Webster asked the maid who served Li Chongrun about his son. The maid told Webster that Li Chongfu had gone to talk to Li Chongrun before his death, which aroused Webster's suspicion.

In fact, it was Mr. Wang's suggestion that Li Chongfu go to see Li Chongrun. Mr. Wang knew that Li Chongrun had a stubborn character. If someone added fuel to his fire and suggested that he should sacrifice himself for his father's safety, he would definitely choose suicide.

As expected, Li Chongfu went to see Li Chongrun in the name of comfort. After leaving, Li Chongrun committed suicide.

Coincidentally, not long after Li Chongrun's death, Wu Zetian granted Li Chongfu the title of Prince Qiao, and also appointed him as the official minister of the Imperial Concubine and Zuo Sanqi.

The death of Li Chongrun made Wu Zetian feel a little guilty for her son Li Xian. In order to make up for her guilt, the reward fell on Li Chongfu. Of course, Wu Zetian would not tell the outside world the reason for this kind of thing.

When Wei saw that after Li Chongrun's death, Li Chongfu was promoted to a noble title and held an important position, she believed that the reason why Li Chongrun died was because of Li Chongfu's informant. Therefore, she hated Li Chongfu with gnashing of teeth, so she did not wait for Li Xian's request.

After making Li Chongfu the crown prince, he couldn't wait to file a complaint against Li Chongfu in front of Li Xian, saying that he was the mastermind behind Li Chongrun's death.

As a result, Li Chongfu was released.

Li Chongfu criticized Mr. Wang for this, and Mr. Wang also swallowed his teeth and felt miserable.

Mr. Wang is not a person who gives up easily. Since his lord is not regarded as the prince, he must continue to create conditions for him.

The fact that Li Chongjun's princess was forced to die made him feel that this was an opportunity that he could take full advantage of.

Therefore, while Lu Xiaoxian was trying to arrange for Qin Jun and Gao Lishi, Mr. Wang was also making intensive plans.

…

In the carriage, Princess Cheng Murong Zhen frowned. She had not shown a smile in the past few days. At this moment, her beautiful face was even more gloomy and terrifying.

The letter in her hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and the words on the letter were like heavy hammers, hitting her heart hard and making her overwhelmed.

"The fate of King Cheng is in your hands. Go to the appointment alone under the big willow tree outside the Gaochang Winery in Qujiang. Don't tell anyone else!"

Who could this be?

What does the other party know?

What is the purpose of dating yourself?

Although questions flashed through Murong Zhen's mind, Murong Zhen still went to the appointment because she had to go.

There are many wine shops in Qujiang area run by Hu merchants and Fans from the Western Regions, and Gaochang Wine Shop is one of them.

From a distance, Murong Zhen saw a young man in white shirt standing under the willow tree outside the gate of Gaochang Winery, with his hands behind his back, his back facing the direction she came from, looking at the river.

The figure from the back was very familiar, and Murong Zhen wondered if it was him.

When he got closer, Murong Zhen stopped.

The young man in white shirt slowly turned around, and what appeared in front of Murong Zhen was an unfamiliar face, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his mind that it was not him.

"This young master, did you invite me here?" Murong Zhen asked calmly.

The young man in white shirt did not answer, but looked at Murong Zhen quietly.

After a long time, the young man in white shirt bowed deeply to Murong Zhen and said loudly, "My nephew has seen my aunt. Is she okay?"

Murong Zhen heard it clearly. It was indeed him. The voice belonged to Lu Xiaoxian, but this face...

Lu Xiaoxian saw Murong Zhen's doubts and said with a smile, "In order to hide from others, my nephew changed his appearance. I hope my aunt will forgive me!"

Murong Zhen breathed a deep sigh of relief. The moment she confirmed Lu Xiaoxian's identity, she felt that she finally had someone to rely on.

It was not that Murong Zhen had not seen the world. She was an ordinary woman who had gone through ups and downs. She was even wiser and more determined than many men. However, the things she encountered were so big that she simply could not bear them.

When she was helpless, Lu Xiaoxian finally appeared.

Murong Zhen knew very well that no one could help him except Lu Xiaoxian.

"Good nephew..." Murong Zhen only called him one word and didn't know what to say.

"Aunt, have you decided to become the king?" Lu Xiaoxian asked proactively.

Murong Zhen glanced at Lu Xiaoxian and nodded.

"Is there any possibility of turning back?" Lu Xiaoxian asked again.

Murong Zhen shook his head.16

"Alas! This is fate." Lu Xiaoxian sighed, "When Emperor Zetian was here, King Cheng was exiled for many years. Now that he has returned to Beijing, he must have taken the revival of Li Tang as his mission. He wants to eradicate Wu Sansi and

Zhen Chao Gang."

Murong Zhen suddenly realized that the young man in front of him seemed to know his husband better than himself.

"This coup is bound to fail. Has Auntie thought of a way out?" Lu Xiaoxian stared at Murong Zhen and asked.

"Defeat is inevitable?" Murong Zhen's face turned pale and he asked in a trembling voice, "How can you see it?"

Launching a coup was risky, as he might lose his head and body. How could Murong Zhen not understand this. Since Li Qianli couldn't be persuaded, she could only hope that the coup would succeed. And Lu Xiaoxian's words

, which is tantamount to sentencing them to death.

Lu Xiaoxian knew that if he didn't make it clear, Murong Zhen would definitely not be able to make a decision.

Lu Xiaoxian asked, "The reason why King Cheng is so stubborn is because he was affected by the Shenlong coup? Do you think that launching a coup with the prince will succeed easily?"

"Yes, that's what he thinks!"

"This coup is fundamentally different from the last coup. It is impossible for him to succeed!" Lu Xiaoxian patiently explained, "Emperor Zetian was seriously ill last time and was unable to control the situation. A phoenix that has lost its feathers is not as good as a chicken.

The emperor who is seriously ill is an emperor if someone supports him. If there is no support, he is nothing. When Zhang Jianzhi and others entered the palace, Emperor Zetian could only question and sigh, and handed over the imperial power the next day. But now, His Majesty's body

He is healthy and can fully control the overall situation. How can the coup succeed? There is a big change in the court personnel, and they are all loyal to His Majesty. When Li Chongjun launches a coup, few people will support him. There are only a few people he can invite, and there are no real powerful people.

, in addition to King Cheng, there is probably Li Duozuo."

Murong Zhen's eyes widened. Lu Xiaoxian knew such a confidential matter so well. Could he have predicted it beforehand?

"Li Duozuo has already launched a mutiny. There is no way His Majesty will not be on guard against him. Thinking about the fate of the five kings, it will be clear. This is not the main thing, the most critical point..." Lu Xiaoxian said sharply,

"If you don't understand Li Chongjun at all, it is impossible to succeed in a coup following him!"

Murong Zhen understood this very well. Li Chongjun launched the coup to avenge the Crown Princess. He only wanted to kill Queen Wei and Wu Sansi, and it was impossible to do anything to Li Xian. This was an internal conflict within the Li family. There were so many people watching.

Very few people responded.

"Li Chongjun has been reckless since he was a child. He doesn't value the position of prince, and he is not good at building relationships, so he has no foundation. In the end, he doesn't actually want to be the emperor. What will be the consequences of such a coup?

Just imagine it.”

After listening to Lu Xiaoxian's words, Murong Zhen calmed down and asked calmly, "Since defeat is inevitable, does my nephew have a way to solve it?"

"There are only three ways to go!" Lu Xiaoxian didn't mince words.

"Speaking!"

"The first way is to ask my aunt to urge King Cheng to give up the coup and stay away from the prince. This way you can save the lives of the whole family!"

Lu Xiaoxian hopes that Li Qianli will withdraw, so that Li Chongjun may not be able to launch a coup.

Murong Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "I have tried to persuade her countless times, but he won't listen at all! I'm afraid this path won't work. Let's talk about the next path!"

"The second way is that I can take my aunt out of Chang'an in advance and find a safe place to hide. If the coup fails, my aunt will not be implicated!"

"Impossible!" Murong Zhen said without even thinking about it, "We are husband and wife. He will live and I will live. If he dies, I will never live alone!"

After listening to Murong Zhen's words, Lu Xiaoxian was completely speechless.

"You should talk about the third way!" Murong Zhen said in a seductive voice.

"The third way is to choose a young heir, operate in advance, and try to avoid disasters!"

Conspiracy is a serious crime, and the whole family will definitely be put to death. If the coup fails, Li Qianli's lineage may really be cut off.

"Just leave a root for becoming a king!" Lu Xiaoxian said slowly, "If Auntie can trust me, leave this matter to me!"

Murong Zhen was deeply touched by Lu Xiaoxian's words. After thinking for a long time, Murong Zhen bowed to Lu Xiaoxian and said, "I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Lu on behalf of my husband for his great kindness!"

…

Xuandu Temple is located in Chongyefang, south of Zhuque Street, adjacent to Daxingshan Temple in Jingshanfang.

Xuandu Temple was originally the Passage Temple of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. It was moved from the ancient city of Chang'an in the Han Dynasty to Daxing City in the second year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign in the Sui Dynasty and was renamed Xuandu Temple. After many renovations and expansions, it is now particularly prosperous and has a great influence in Chang'an City.

Peach trees are planted in the temple. Around April, the peach blossoms are blooming like drunken clouds, reflecting the blue sky, which is extremely beautiful. Literati, celebrities, and dignitaries came to see it and wander among the sea of ​​flowers. It is a beautiful scene in the world.

.

It was past the flowering period and there were very few tourists.

The peach blossoms everywhere are withering day by day, just like the actors who have just left the curtain. After their splendor, they become desolate and desolate. In this beautiful season, it makes people melancholy.

Feng Man and Ling Zhuzi were strolling on the bluestone road full of broken flowers. They were dressed in white Taoist robes that were as clear as water. Against the pink background, they looked like fairies descending to earth.

Because of his younger brother, Feng Man came to Xuandu Temple in Chang'an from Shangqing Palace in Luoyang. Lingzhuzi was deeply in love with Feng Man's sister and was reluctant to leave her, so he followed her. The two of them still stayed together as they did in Shangqing Palace.

We share the same bed and are inseparable.

Looking at the broken flowers in his eyes, Feng Man couldn't help but feel a little sad.

No matter how beautiful the flowers are, they will fall. The blooming flowers have long lost their former fragrance. Looking at the scattered flowers, each piece is sad, and the falling petals make people feel the loneliness and melancholy of the withering.

What kind of fate was it to meet, get to know, and get to know Lu Xiaoxian back then? Was it right or wrong?

A brush against the shoulder, a look back, may be an agreement made in the past life. The breeze blew past the ears, blowing away the last piece of expectation. Everything was so calm, as calm as the gentle ripples of stagnant water. Just like now, there is only

A desolate figure looked at the fallen flowers and mourned silently.
