Half in the river wind, half in the clouds

Doctor Sun left a box of ointment and reminded the princess of the precautions. Without staying for a moment, he fled from Princess Taiping's mansion.

It is said that after leaving the princess's mansion, he went straight to the city gate and returned to Qiushan.

The worldly world is no longer in the old man's eyes.

Li Longye took Jiang Feng to thank Princess Taiping.

Princess Taiping's mansion is located in Xingdaofang, occupying almost the entire block. The mansion is neat, spacious, dignified and generous. Several of her sons have become princes and have their own mansions.

Jiang Feng and Li Longye were led by the fragrant grass and entered the Mingtang. On the lintel were two large and elegant characters "I take it".

I choose? Wash your veil with pure water and your feet with turbid water? This is a high level of thought...

When the two men entered, Princess Taiping was sitting on a couch with a large desk in front of her. A very handsome man was grinding ink, and another man in the uniform of a fourth-rank official was answering a question.

Before this, Jiang Feng had lived two lives in his past and present lives, and the most handsome man he had ever seen was Shen Guxing. But this man who was grinding ink was even more handsome than Shen Guxing. He was the kind of man that people could not take their eyes off. His collar was open to his chest, his hair was scattered behind his head, and his eyes were bright and lively.

Princess Taiping made a slight gesture to the two men and continued to ask the fourth-rank official: "Has the Heavenly Master calculated the date?"

The next answer: "No later than June."

Princess Taiping said indifferently: "It's just a demon star, what else can you say?"

The Heavenly Master said: "There is a saying..."

Then she paused, looked at Jiang Feng and Li Longye cautiously, and Princess Taiping waved her hand and said, "Go ahead."

The man said, "The appearance of a comet indicates the end of the old and the beginning of the new. This star is located in the imperial throne within the Tianshi Wall, and the stars in front of the heart have all changed! What it represents is... it represents... there will be a female master."

The Taoist priest finally gritted his teeth and said these words, then knelt on the ground and dared not get up. Jiang Feng broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. According to the comet prophecy: When the emperor is in his prime, is there a woman who wants to seize the throne?

The ancients really liked this.

The male favorite paused for a moment while grinding ink. Princess Taiping laughed out loud, looking extremely charming. She sipped a small cup of tea and said, "The Imperial Observatory is very much to my liking! This is not a good omen. You should find a chance to tell your brother about it."

The man who offered the advice was praised by the princess and left happily.

Princess Taiping said, "Ah Xi, go and have a rest too."

The male favorite named Ah Xi retreated obediently.

Princess Taiping finally paid attention to Li Longye and Jiang Feng and asked, "Are you feeling better now?"

Jiang Feng knelt on the ground with his four paws and kowtowed: "Thank you Princess for saving me. I am all right now."

Princess Taiping smiled and said, "If you want to thank me, you can stay in my house for a few days. But you have nowhere else to go."

Jiang Feng was happy to obey. Staying in the princess's mansion, at least he could keep his life. He didn't care about anything else and replied, "Princess, please don't abandon me. Jiang Feng is willing to serve you."

Princess Taiping said, "That's great."

Princess Taiping then said to Li Longye, "You saw it just now. I have already let out the hook, but I don't know if the fish will bite or not."

Li Longye tapped the table with his fingers and said with a smile, "Auntie has always been very careful in her planning."

The aunt and niece talked back and forth, and they always spoke to the point. Although they did not avoid the river wind, it was still very difficult to understand them.

Within a few days, the prophecy of Mars guarding the heart spread. At the same time, the rumor that a "female ruler would rule the country" was rampant.

Whether it is a prophecy or an omen, it all points directly to Empress Wei and her daughter.

It is interesting to note that Li Xian actually took the initiative to discuss the succession and wanted to make his fourth son Li Chongmao the crown prince, which was still under debate in the court.

In mid-May, Princess Anle moved out of Anle Palace.

In late May, Empress Wei's brother Wei Wen was demoted.

A few days later, Empress Wei's brother Wei Wen took charge of the internal and external troops again. The son-in-law Wei Jie and Wei Zhuo were in charge of the left and right garrison respectively. The son-in-law Wu Yanxiu and Wei Wen's nephew Wei Bo, cousin Wei Shi, and nephew Gao Chong were jointly in charge of the left and right Yulin Army, the Flying Cavalry, and the Ten Thousand Cavalry.

There was panic in Chang'an City, and all forces were on high alert.

On the third day of June, the funeral bells in the imperial city rang long and loud, resounding throughout the city of Chang'an. Emperor Zhongzong Li Xian died in the Shenlong Palace.

According to Zhongzong's will, Prince Wen Li Chongmao was made emperor, and Prince Xiang Li Dan was promoted to be the Grand Marshal to assist in the administration, and the reign was changed to Tanglong.

A few days later, Empress Dowager Wei tore up the imperial edict, sent her cronies to control the Northern and Southern Yamen's imperial guards and the various departments of the Secretariat, and she recruited a large number of her followers to rule the country.

The situation in the court changed day by day. Although Jiang Feng knew that the Li brothers had finally taken power, he still felt worried.

"I want to see the prince!" she said to Li Longye's men.

Li Longye arrived late at night, exhausted.

Jiang Feng dismissed everyone and went straight to the point: "My Lord, what are you going to do next?"

Li Longye understood what Jiang Feng was referring to. His eyes were filled with fatigue as he said, "Father never makes a decision."

Jiang Feng took a piece of paper with some things written on it. She took a look and said, "First, now in Chang'an City, the left and right camps, the left and right Yulin Army, the flying cavalry, and the ten thousand cavalry are all in the hands of the Queen Mother. Your Majesty needs to make plans early."

Li Longye frowned and nodded: "Yeah."

These days, Jiang Feng has been recalling, sorting out, and piecing together the historical data about the Tanglong coup in her previous life. Combining it with the current situation, she has come up with some ideas. She took another look at the "ghost painting" and said, "Prince Linzi has a subordinate named Wang Maozhong. Although he is intelligent, he may retreat in times of crisis and ruin things. Your Majesty needs to be on guard."

Li Longye felt weird. The girl in front of him was really hard to figure out.

Jiang Feng didn't know if this was considered a disclosure of the secret, but she couldn't just stand by and watch, so she continued, "Third, the Wanqi Battalion guards the north gate of the palace, which is of utmost importance. I think you must have built up your own power. The two brothers of the Wei family are harsh and powerful in the army, and everyone has been resentful for a long time. When the time comes, kill them first, and the Wanqi soldiers will definitely follow the prince's orders. With the Wanqi Battalion, the matter will be half successful. As for the Yulin Army, with the Wanqi Battalion as a backup, and announce to them on the spot that the Queen Mother poisoned Zhongzong and endangered the country, it should not be difficult to win them over to kill the Wei family."

"Fourth, the capital is full of the Queen Mother's spies. It is impossible to gather a team to fight against them in a short period of time, and there is no reason for the war. But if it is delayed for too long, they will have firmly established their position, and it will be even more difficult to move again. For now, we need to make a quick decision. The people brought by the prince must be few and elite, even if they are in disguise, and there must be someone in the palace to support them. Director Yuan is responsible for the decoration and construction of the palace. He can hide people and weapons. Moreover, Zhong Shaojing, who is in charge of Director Yuan, is the father-in-law of the Duke of Ying, and he has a close relationship with you." Jiang Feng tapped the paper with his fingers and said to himself, "But? I always feel that something is missing! What is it?"

"Forget it, next one!" Maybe she fell into the lake and water entered her brain, causing her memory to deteriorate severely.

"To catch a thief, you must first catch the king. In a head-on confrontation, the prince is not as powerful as the empress dowager and will easily be at a disadvantage. You must make the move cleanly and efficiently. There will be plenty of time and opportunities to argue about righteousness and etiquette in the future." Jiang Feng finished the last sentence under Li Longye's scorching gaze.

Li Longye surprisingly did not ask any more questions and nodded: "Okay."

Jiang Feng was speechless. He had been thinking hard these days and his CPU was exhausted before he finally figured it out. After he finished talking about all this, you just said "um" and "ok" to get rid of him?

Li Longye said: "We are proceeding step by step and everything is according to the plan, don't worry."

Jiang Feng said: "I also know that you can succeed..." But it was a coup after all, and a coup would involve bloodshed and sacrifice.

Li Longye recalled the past and said, "When we were at Jiuyue Tower, you seemed to have concluded that there would be a day like this for us brothers. Today, it has already happened."

Jiang Feng said: "The prince will definitely conquer the world with one arrow!"

Li Longye had only sat for a cup of tea when Li Bian urged him twice.

Jiang Feng has said everything he needs to say.

Time will tell Li Longye what should not be said.

Those questions that should not be asked will be answered one by one after the Tanglong coup.

In the following days, time slowed down infinitely, and Jiang Feng even thought at one point that time had stopped.

At the imperial court, the funeral of the previous emperor was carried out in an orderly manner, and the succession ceremony of the new emperor was carried out in an orderly manner. The previous debates about the establishment of a crown prince, the regent, the queen mother's rule, and the exile of the five sons of the prince of Xiang all disappeared at once.

It's peaceful and tranquil.

Everyone held their breath, not even daring to breathe loudly.

On the evening of June 20th, a meteor fell from the sky and occasional shouts of killing were heard from the direction of the imperial palace.

The next day, the whole city was under martial law, and Wanqi and Yulin troops were sent out to arrest people.

On June 21, Li Longji and his two brothers left the palace to meet their father, Prince Xiang Li Dan, and welcomed Prince Xiang into the palace to assist the young emperor. On the same day, the young emperor of Tang issued a general amnesty, saying that all traitors would be executed and the rest would not be held accountable.

On June 22, Prince of Xiang Li Dan, Princess Taiping, and the young emperor went to the walls of the imperial palace to inform the subjects in Chang'an of the reasons for the coup. They also sent envoys to various parts of the country to appease the local people and Prince of Qiao Li Chongfu.

On June 23, the Shao Emperor abdicated the throne to Prince of Xiang Li Dan, who declined.

On June 24, Princess Taiping appeared in the court wearing a black robe according to etiquette.

Emperor Shao Li Chongmao sat in the court as usual. Princess Taiping stood beside him and said to the ministers, "The emperor wants to give his position to his uncle. Is that okay?"

Liu Youqiu stepped out and knelt, saying loudly: "The country is in trouble, the emperor is kind and filial, and he should follow the example of Yao and Shun to give up the throne, which is in line with the most just way!"

The young emperor was still on the throne at this time. Princess Taiping said, "The world has been given to Prince Xiang. This is no longer your place." Then she stepped forward and pulled the young emperor down.

Like his brother Li Xian, Li Dan ascended the throne for the second time and became Emperor Ruizong of Tang. The young emperor Li Chongmao restored his title of Prince Wen.

On June 27th, Ruizong appointed Li Longji as the Crown Prince.

That night, after several days, Jiang Feng met Li Longye, whose dream of becoming the crown prince was shattered.

"This is the ending you expected." Li Longye laughed bitterly.

At that time, the two of them were strolling in the night, among the dense bamboo trees, with occasional chirping of insects and a slight coolness from time to time.

"The ending? During the Shenlong coup, the late emperor ascended the throne for the second time. He also thought that was the end then." Jiang Feng said.

One story ends, and another begins. There is still a long way to go before Li Longji's ending.

"But in just four or five years, not only did he lose his life due to a conspiracy, but his three sons also died. His wife and beloved daughter were also beheaded. Perhaps you can think that this is his end? But I still don't think so. He will remain in the history books for future generations to comment on and praise or criticize. Although there are only a few strokes about him in the history books, those secret stories and wild records can be piled up into a mountain." Jiang Feng said, looking at Li Longye.

"Govern the country and bring peace to the world! Even so, there should be no regrets!" Li Longye is still as majestic as a mountain.

Jiang Feng looked at him, and she was very moved by his "selfless" spirit. She added: "If Your Majesty has this ambition, does he have to become an emperor to achieve it? A great scholar once said, 'Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, inherit the lost knowledge of the past sages, and create peace for all generations'. Your Majesty can always realize his ambitions!"

Li Longye repeated in a low voice: "Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, inherit the lost knowledge of the past sages, and bring peace to the world for all eternity."

In the dark night, he couldn't see the girl's face clearly. But he wanted to find out more, so he said, "Then tell me, which great scholar said this."

Jiang Fei felt worried, as the person who said this might not be born for hundreds of years!

She didn't know how to answer, so Li Longye pressed on: "How... did you know that?"

This time, the question was obviously not about the origin of the "Four Sentences of Hengqu", but how she had achieved all her "foresight" from the Jiuyue Tower in Liangzhou to the present.

He had to doubt it, and he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. How could she be so sure that the prince would definitely lead an army to attack the palace, and how could she know that he would definitely return in defeat!

On Mount Zhongnan, facing Li Chongjun's heavy pressure, she actually read out the names of several generals who died in the battle, and concluded that there were still undercover agents around the prince.

Also, in Princess Taiping's mansion, she was drugged by a villain. He rescued her and entered her boudoir. She was worried that he would offend her, so she threatened her, "If you cross the line, your father and son will not be able to achieve hegemony, and Li Longji will never be the emperor." And later, when it came to the imperial seal, she had already determined that her third brother would be the future emperor. But at that time, they still followed their eldest brother's lead.

And a few days ago, everything else would be fine, but how did she know that Wang Maozhong would desert the battlefield?

That night, they were ready to go, and when they counted the people, they found that the servant was missing.

The third brother was shocked. He was no less surprised than the third brother, but he was even more surprised: Who is she? How did she know?

Fortunately, he had made preparations in advance and let Liu Nezhi fill in Wang Maozhong's vacancy.

They dared not make it known for fear of shaking the morale of the troops, so they had to set off in a hurry.

He could no longer ignore the past scenes.

Jiang Feng knew that Li Longye would definitely ask this question.

But she didn't dare to answer truthfully.

She is afraid.

When an alien comes to Earth, only children will make friends with it and try to send it home.

However, those mature and cruel adults hope to achieve their own goals by dissecting it, using it, and controlling it.

What is the difference between time travelers and aliens?

She didn't dare to gamble.

I don’t know how to answer either.

Seeing that she had been silent for a long time, Li Longye said softly, "You don't trust me, so you don't want to tell the truth?"

My dears, grandma is in the hospital today. I am very worried.

Sorry for the late update.
