"Where is my son Yuanji? Come and let your father take a look!"
Li Yuan's people didn't arrive, but Sheng arrived first.
He looked like he was about to see his son, and he looked ecstatic.
Li Yuanji's mouth twitched when he heard this. If the word "Yuanji" in the sentence "Where is Yuanji my son?" was replaced by "Fengxian", it would be complete and there would be no sense of violation.
That is to say, Luo Guanzhong was born late. If Luo Guanzhong was born in the former Sui Dynasty, or in the early Tang Dynasty, and wrote "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in advance, Li Yuan would not have said such a thing even to death.
"Yuanjiwu'er, where are you? Why didn't you agree to be your father?"
Li Yuan shouted, but when no one answered, he started shouting again.
Li Yuanji felt very embarrassed and wanted to change his father.
Seeing that Li Yuan couldn't shout enough by himself and wanted to call the visitors and Xiaohuangmen to shout together, Li Yuanji quickly stretched his neck and responded loudly: "My son is here! My son is coming over now!"
Yezhe and Xiaohuangmen all helped the emperor convey orders, or shouted orders to the court, or called people to the palace, so their voices were very loud, and some were even very shrill. I really wanted them to shout together.
If Li Yuan asked them to shout, Li Yuanji felt that he could dig a hole and bury himself on the spot.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
After receiving the response, Li Yuan laughed and opened the curtain on the dragon's door, looking as if he was happy to see his beloved son.
"My son, come quickly and ride with your father in the car!"
Li Yuan handed Long Zhu's curtain to Xiao Huangmen to carry, and raised his hand to say hello.
Li Yuanji forced a smile and bravely boarded the Dragon Boat Festival. Once on the Dragon Boat Festival, Li Yuanji discovered that there was another person in the Dragon Boat Festival, and that was his cub Li Chengde.
Li Chengde was still a little older, and was being held by Chen Shanyi. He blinked his big dark eyes and looked curiously at the stranger who had just gotten on the bus.
At this time, Chen Shanyi waved Li Chengde's little hand and urged: "Call father! Call father!"
Li Chengde tightly closed his mouth and said nothing, but stared straight at his strange father.
He had heard of the word father and could call it out, but the so-called father in front of him seemed unfamiliar to him and he had no impression of it, so he couldn't say it out loud.
"Call dad! This is your dad!"
Chen Shan noticed that Li Chengde was reluctant to speak, so he became a little anxious and raised his voice to urge.
Li Chengde stopped calling his father now. He didn't even want to look at his father. He turned his head and plunged into Chen Shanyi's arms.
Chen Shan was a little overwhelmed by this and didn't know how to deal with it.
Li Yuanji waved his hand and said with a calm smile: "It's okay. How is Mrs. Chen doing well recently?"
Chen Shanyi nodded quickly and said anxiously, "Okay, okay, everything is fine!"
Li Yuan was jealous at this time, curled his lips and said: "In your eyes, you only have your wife Chen, and you don't have me as your father!"
Li Yuanji turned around and looked at Li Yuan who was already sitting in the dragon's door and said with a smile: "Father is joking..."
Li Yuan snorted and said: "I have brought you all the people you want. I can understand what you said, and I can agree to the conditions you proposed, but there is one thing, you must agree to me."
Li Yuanji took a deep breath and said helplessly: "Do you still want to pass your position to me?"
Li Yuan nodded solemnly and said: "Even if you sit here for a day!"
Li Yuanji stared at Li Yuan and said: "Then what if I don't want to do it for a day?"
Li Yuan opened his eyes and raised his voice several times: "How can that be done? My throne is going to be passed on to you. If you don't sit on it, do you want to leave it to an outsider? As for you saying you want to pass it on to De'er, that's right.
It’s your business, but my throne must be passed on to you!”
Li Yuanji shook his head and said, "I have made up my mind, father, there is no need to say more."
Li Yuan blew his beard and shouted with eyes wide open: "Do you think I am discussing with you? I am ordering you! Do you dare to disobey my order?"
Li Yuanji glanced at Li Yuan funny and said, "What do you think?"
Dare you violate it?
It’s no less a violation, okay?
Li Yuan suddenly became even more angry, looking like he wanted to kill someone.
However, whether it was because he was getting old or because his son had not been around for a long time, he actually suppressed this anger and began to speak seriously, "Yuanji, there has been no precedent in the history of this dynasty.
, and De'er is still young. If he succeeds me a hundred years from now, I'm afraid others will bully him.
It's not like you don't know how your great-aunt won the throne.
Do you want me, the Li family, to follow in the footsteps of the Yuwen family?"
Li Yuanji smiled calmly and said, "Father, don't worry. I, the Li family, will not follow in the footsteps of the Yuwen family, and no one dares to bully our De'er."
Li Yuan also knew that as long as Li Yuanji lived and Li Chengde succeeded to the throne, no one would dare to bully him.
But he still wanted to pass the throne to his adult son, rather than to his impatient grandson.
After all, compared to a young grandson, an adult son is more mature, more capable, and more able to shock people's hearts.
To be an emperor, you have to be capable and able to intimidate people's hearts.
Li Yuan said seductively: "Having said that, De'er is still too young after all, and I am already old. I don't know if I can see De'er grow up. If I leave, you will be in the outside world again.
, no one takes care of De'er, and even if De'er is not bullied, he will be fooled by others.
So if you don't think about me, you have to think about De'er.
De'er is your eldest son!"
Li Yuanji thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Father, how about we make a bet?"
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment and said suspiciously: "What kind of bet?"
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "I bet you can watch De'er grow up!"
Li Yuan glared for a moment and said, "What's the point of gambling?!"
Li Yuanji continued to smile and said: "What's not to bet on? If you can watch De'er grow up, then how about you let De'er inherit your position as the emperor's grandson?"
Li Yuan snorted and said angrily: "Then what if I can't see De'er grow up?"
Li Yuanji said with a smile: "Then you only need to give me an edict, and I will obediently go back to Chang'an!"
Li Yuan said in disbelief: "Do you really want to go back?"
Li Yuanji nodded happily.
Li Yuan hesitated for a moment, then stared and said, "Then give it a try, but I don't guarantee that I won't regret it halfway!"
Li Yuan didn't say anything, probably because he was afraid that when he missed his son, he would have no reason to ask his son to go back.
However, he also knew that his son had made up his mind and he could not change it easily. Now that his son had relented, he could only agree first and then slowly make plans later.
If you try hard, you may not be able to get what you want, and you may even not be able to do it.
Don't look at the large number of people following behind him, all of whom are respectful to him and call him a saint. If he really confronts his son, most of them will immediately switch sides.
It is estimated that most of the remaining half will lie flat and be ravaged by his son. There are only a few people who can help him.
And these few people, even if they have extraordinary abilities, cannot make big waves.
This is the power of his son in the Tang Dynasty now. He is not an emperor, but better than an emperor, even more powerful than him as an emperor, and much higher than when he was at his peak.
This is also the reason why he insisted on making his son the emperor.
Because this son has outstanding abilities, he can bring in money, he can attack aristocratic families, he can enrich his population, and he can expand his territory. He is simply the embryo of an emperor.
Apart from some procrastination, some laziness, and some likes to shirk tasks to others, there are almost no other shortcomings.
Therefore, he believed that if this son became emperor, he could at least lead the Tang Dynasty to two or three levels.
In the future, the Tang Dynasty will become more magnificent, stronger and more stable.
When he arrived under Jiuquan and met the ancestors of the Li family, he could pat his chest and tell them, among our old Li family, who is better than me?!
He built a huge empire, became emperor, and chose a more powerful successor.
There is no one in the entire Lao Li family who is more awesome than me!
"As long as father agrees!"
Seeing that Li Yuan agreed hesitantly, Li Yuanji immediately laughed, smiling very freely and meaningfully.
If it weren't for Li Yuan sitting opposite, he would probably laugh out loud.
After all, according to historical records, Li Yuan still had nearly ten years of good life. This was after he was imprisoned by his son and was in an unhappy and unhappy mood.
Now that he eats well and sleeps well, his sons do not fight against him, he has not experienced the pain of losing a son, and he has not been sent to the Tai Chi Palace to become the Supreme Emperor. He may live longer.
Maybe I will live another seven or eight years, maybe even ten years.
So he has already won the bet with Li Yuan.
"Humph, don't get too proud too early. I told you that I might regret it at any time!"
Li Yuan couldn't stand his son's complacency, so he started pouring cold water on him because his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes.
Li Yuanji smiled very obediently: "I know this..."
Whether Li Yuan will regret it or not is not important to him at all.
He just needs to deal with Li Yuan now and prevent Li Yuan from forcing the throne into his hands.
After a few years, Li Yuan regrets his decision, and if he wants to recruit him again, he will probably have to go to Tianzhu or find him further away.
At that time, the mountains will really be high and the emperor will be far away, and the correspondence may take a year or two, or even more.
At that time, he pretended that he had not received any intention of repentance from Li Yuan, and Li Yuan had nothing to do with him.
"Sage, Your Highness, Lingzhou has arrived."
Not long after the father and son finished their bet, Lingzhou arrived, and Xiaohuangmen rushed to Longchu to report.
Li Yuan straightened his robe, picked up Li Chengde in Chen Shanyi's hand, puffed up his chest, and walked out of Longchu arrogantly.
In front of his son, he is a humble old father, but in front of others, he is the aloof emperor, and he is the only one in the world.
"I respectfully welcome the Holy Master!"
A group of officials from King Yong's residence, headed by Chu Suiliang, paid homage with great ceremony.
This was mainly because Li Yuan took out the dragon flag and the guard of honor. If there were no dragon flag and guard of honor, Chu Suiliang and others would not have to make a big salute and would just bow.
