"I used to claim to be a good at music, but I only realized when I arrived in Liyuan that I was really superficial!" Li Chengqi said sincerely.

"If Your Highness King Ning likes, you can come at any time." Speaking of this, Lu Xiaoxian smiled and said, "But now we have to sacrifice our lives. Your Highness King Ning, you have to be the host today!"

"That's, Xiaoxian, the king of Japan is here to invite you!" Li Chengqi laughed.

While drunk, Li Chengqi still did not forget his intention to come to Lu Xiaoxian: "Xiaoxian, you haven't told me about this prince..."

"I have told Your Highness Ning!" Lu Xiaoxian said with a smile.

"When did you tell me?" Li Chengqi was confused.

"Your Highness Ning will understand what is happening today!"

Li Chengqi's heart moved: "Xiao Xian, what you mean is..."

"My meaning is very simple. Does Your Highness Ning think that being the crown prince is important, or having good songs every day is more important. If the position of the crown prince is the most important in your heart, then you will fight without hesitation. If there is something more important than the position of the crown prince, then you have to consider it." Speaking of this, Lu Xiaoxian smiled, "Actually, I know that Your Highness Ning has made a decision!"

Li Chengqi seemed to have some understanding.

Lu Xiaoxian continued: "Princess Taiping has experienced so many things over the years but can always stand firm. How can she be together? The reason why she urges His Highness Ning to be this prince is not because she is good to His Highness Ning, but because she is confident in controlling Your Highness Ning."

"Xiao Xian, what you said is really a sharp tip!" Li Chengqi nodded.

"Your Highness Ning, let me tell the truth, don't be angry, let alone Your Highness Ning, even Your Majesty may not be the opponent of Princess Taiping. Among the few people who are qualified to be the princess, only King Ping can compete with her. In this way, he still has to be at a disadvantage, and others..." Lu Xiaoxian stopped talking, but just shook his head.

Li Chengqi said self-deprecatingly: "Xiao Xian, you are not right at all. I still have this self-knowledge, but I don't know how to reply to Princess Taiping!"

Lu Xiaoxian smiled and said, "Just reply truthfully!"

"But how can Princess Taiping give up?" Li Chengqi said worriedly.

"If you say ambiguously that you don't want to be the prince, she won't pursue it."

"Why is this?" Li Chengqi said inexplicably.

"Princess Taiping thought everyone was like her and would not give up the power she got. The more ambiguous you are, the more she thought you wanted to be the prince. As for what you did in the end, she decided by yourself. She couldn't blame you, because you did say that you didn't want to be the prince, so she had to suffer a loss."

Li Chengqi thought about it carefully and his face slowly showed joy.

...

Three days later, Li Longji came to the Zen room hosted by Purun, Ci'en Temple as promised.

"Master, haven't Xiaoxian come yet?" Li Longji asked impatiently.

"Master Lu has never been here, and he has not been here now, and he will not come in the future!" Purun said lightly.

"Ah?" Li Longji didn't know what medicine was selling in Purun Gour, so he was stunned on the spot.

Purun continued: "Although Mr. Lu doesn't come, King Ping can often come to Ci'en Temple to burn a few incense sticks when he is worried. What I said is the same as what Mr. Lu said. King Ping can save a lot of trouble by focusing on the Buddha."

Li Longji is a smart man, and he smiled and said, "What the master said is so true. I will often come to listen to the master's teachings in the future!"

Purun suddenly slapped a few times and asked, "Your Highness Ping, I wonder what you heard?"

Li Longji nodded: "Of course I heard the sound of high-fives."

"You can hear a sound when you hit your palms, but if you slap, you may hear a sound?" Pu Run asked with a smile.

"How can a slap sound?" Li Longji asked strangely.

"Isn't that right? Now you are the only one slap in your hand, so you can't slap it, so Your Highness Ping just needs to go back and wait with peace of mind!"

Li Longji showed a look of surprise on his face: "Is it possible that Xiao Xian has already..."

Purun put his hands together and said, "You can't say it, you can't say it..."

...

On the tenth day of the first month of the first year of Jingyun, the Prime Minister Dou Huaizhen, who was attached to Princess Taiping, took the lead in attacking.

Dou Huaizhen was originally the best friend of Wei. After Li Longji's coup, he took Princess Taiping's way and was demoted to Sima of Haozhou. After tasting the sweetness, Dou Huaizhen gritted his teeth and was cruel and bleed again. Sure enough, he got the position of prime minister from Princess Taiping.

Today, under the instruction of Princess Taiping, Dou Huaizhen reported to Li Dan: "Your Majesty has been ascending the throne for several months, and now it is time to become the crown prince."

Since Li Dan ascended the throne, he has had a special trust in Princess Taiping and Li Longji. Whenever the prime minister asks about it, he will ask, have you discussed with Princess Taiping? Have you discussed with Sanlang? Princess Taiping and Li Longji control the power of the court, and all civil and military officials are looking at him.

But today's affairs are very important. This matter has a lot to do with Princess Taiping and King Ping. If it is not handled well, it will be in big trouble.

After hearing this, Li Dan couldn't help but miss Lu Xiaoxian a little. If he were there, he would definitely have a good idea. But Li Dan never saw Lu Xiaoxian again except when he saw him during the Chinese New Year, let alone going to court.

Lu Xiaoxian couldn't count on it, and the things in front of him were so difficult, Li Dan had to ask the ministers: "My dear ministers, Ning Chengqi is the eldest son, Ping Longji made great contributions, and they each have their own strengths. Tell me, who should be the crown prince?"

As soon as Li Dan finished speaking, Dou Huaizhen said, "Your Majesty, since ancient times, he has been appointed as a legitimate to be the eldest, but not a virtuous person, and has the noble to be the eldest. King Ning is the eldest son and has the talent to govern the country. I think it is appropriate to establish King Ning as the crown prince."

Dou Huaizhen was the prime minister who was promoted to the throne by Princess Taiping. After his speech, all the civil and military officials understood that this was Princess Taiping's meaning. Therefore, the ministers of Princess Taiping and others agreed to make Prince Ning the crown prince.

Li Longji was very depressed after hearing the memorials of the ministers. He took such a big risk to launch a coup and finally brought Wei down. If he finally made wedding clothes for others, wouldn’t it be a waste of money? Lu Xiaoxian reassured him, but the situation in front of him...

Just as Li Longji was in his heart, Liu Youqiu stood up and spoke.

Liu Youqiu is Li Longji's military advisor. He just became prime minister through a coup, so he naturally has to speak for Li Longji.

Liu You asked, "Your Majesty, I heard that those who have eliminated the disasters of the world should enjoy the blessings of the world. Pacify the king and save the country and save the king and his relatives. There is no doubt about the merits of the great things, and the virtuous words are the most wise, and there is no doubt about them."

Liu Youqiu's meaning is very clear. The world is defeated by King Ping, and Your Majesty is also given by King Ping.

How could I not let him be the crown prince?

Liu Youqiu not only made great contributions in the coup, but also spoke very importantly. After he said this, many ministers from Li Longji and his rank would certainly agree.

Therefore, Dou Huaizhen, who represented Princess Taiping, and Liu Youqiu, who represented Prince Ping Li Longji, argued with each other, which made Li Dan very troubled.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." A voice spread from the hall.

When the ministers saw that it was King Ning Li Chengqi.

Li Chengqi is the party to the prince's candidate, so he naturally has the right to speak.

Li Dan nodded and said, "Your Majesty Ning will report it!"

Everyone held their breath and concentrated, wanting to hear what King Ning said, and the court suddenly became quiet.

"The inheritance of the eldest son is only applicable to peacetime periods. If there is a political change, we must first consider the heroes. This is the case now, so I must not be the crown prince." After that, Li Chengqi cried bitterly, with a very clear attitude, and insisted on letting Li Longji be the crown prince.

Dou Huaizhen and others were stunned when they saw Li Chengqi refusing to be the prince, and they all looked at Princess Taiping.

Princess Taiping, who had not spoken for a long time, looked gloomy at the moment. She couldn't figure out that Li Chengqi would give up the position of prince that was within reach. Li Chengqi's move completely disrupted her overall plan.

Seeing this, Li Dan immediately issued an edict to make Prince Ping Li Longji the crown prince.

...

Some people are happy and some are sad. Li Longji is naturally very happy to become the prince as he wishes, but in another corner of Chang'an, there is a man drinking alone to drown his sorrows.

Speaking of which, this person is also famous in Chang'an City. He is Wang Hufeng, who is known as the richest man in Chang'an.

Wang Hufeng used to have a great relationship with Empress Wei and Princess Anle, and got a lot of benefits from them.

After Li Dan ascended the throne, Wang Hufeng's backer fell and someone reported that he was a remnant of the Wei family. If this crime was confirmed, not only would his wealth be confiscated, but his life would not be saved.

Wang Hufeng deserves to have experienced great storms and knows who to look for to save his life at this time. Sure enough, when he went to Princess Taiping's Mansion, everything came true. Of course, only he knew how much money he spent.

The house was leaking and raining. Just as Wang Hufeng was secretly glad to save his life, his mood became worse again, and the culprit was the Cen merchant in Chang'an.

If it were in the past, Wang Hufeng would never take the small Cen business seriously. But since Zhongzong Li Xian invited court officials and foreign envoys last year, the Cen business's products have suddenly become the target of royal relatives and powerful people, and even become a symbol of identity and status. With the upward and downward effect, the entire Chang'an City market was soon occupied by the Cen business, and Wang Hufeng's former position as the richest man in Chang'an was already in jeopardy.

Despite this, Wang Hufeng was still able to calm down. He kept staring at the large amount of grain purchased by the Cen Company. He was waiting for a wonderful show to be performed and then decided to make the world in one fell swoop. However, the wonderful show that Wang Hufeng was waiting for was not performed as scheduled as he expected. After the Cen Company filled all the warehouses, it stopped this "crazy" behavior.
