Chapter 53 Waiting and Disdain

Xingqing Palace!

"Have Jingyuan arrived?"

Li Longji woke up in a daze, and the first thing he muttered was this.

Gao Lishi's worried face was piled up with wrinkles, and he comforted: "It's soon, it's soon!"

He was a little helpless, Guzang, Liangzhou and Hexi were thousands of miles apart.

In the past, it would take half a month to run. Now, due to the renovation of Wushaoling and the opening of the Longshan Ancient Road have greatly shortened the distance between the two places, but it will take ten days.

Whether Pei Min comes back or not is not enough to determine whether he dares to come, let alone come to Chang'an in one or two days.

However, Li Longji is sleeping longer than waking up, and he can no longer tell the time and day, but as long as he wakes up, no matter day or night, the first sentence must be that Pei Min is not back.

Gao Lishi could only respond with "It's fast and it's fast."

Li Longji's critical illness can be hidden for a while, but not for a lifetime.

As time goes by, many ministers have become panicked.

As a wise monarch of a generation, Li Longji was the backbone of the Tang Dynasty.

Even though he has been a little lazy in recent years, many civil and military ministers still respect him particularly. When he learned that he was strange, he felt at a loss.

The foresighted man has begun to think about him, and it is essential to flatter the prince.

But when I think of Prince Li Yan, many civil and military officials became overwhelmed.

Li Yangan is really mediocre and has no advantage at all. He has been serving as the crown prince for a while, and he is worse than the crown prince Li Ying of the past.

Although former crown prince Li Ying was really kind and easy to believe in others' words, he also had some sense of existence.

With the guidance of his great mentor, he also dealt with some things. In the past, Li Longji went to Mount Tai to Fengshan, and with the help of Song Jing, he also submitted a qualified answer sheet.

But Li Yan?

He is weak and has no opinion. He made a joke before.

Li Yan's authentic wife Wei is the crown princess designated by Li Longji, but Li Yan favors a concubine named Zhou.

This concubine is jealous and makes everyone knows it.

Li Yan did not dare to offend Wei, and he was reluctant to part with Zhou, so he was in a dilemma. He was one head, but two people inside and outside were not big.

A prince who can't even manage his own family affairs well still hopes to manage the world well?

The civil and military officials did not take this prince seriously before, after all, Li Longji's temperament is well known.

Li Yan is named the crown prince, but it is impossible to determine whether he can last until the end.

This is also the effect that Li Longji wanted. He did not want the recurrence of many princes' internal struggles during the Zhenguan period of Li Shimin, nor did he want the prince to divide the power in his hands.

Therefore, he almost ignored the prince, and even beat him from time to time.

Anyone who wants to get close to the prince will definitely be in trouble.

This also caused many civil and military officials to have no contact with the prince at all. At this critical moment, they all became blind.

Li Yan was even more at a loss.

Originally, the prince had some intention of decoration. His father didn't love him or his mother didn't love him. After a sudden change, he couldn't accept it or adapt.

Fortunately, Li Yan lives in the East Palace, and ordinary officials cannot enter and exit from childhood. Only royal relatives of a certain level are qualified to meet the prince in the East Palace.

However, in Chang'an, there has never been a shortage of royal relatives. Even though the Eastern Palace blocked a large number of people, there were still countless in and out.

Li Yan has never seen such a scene, and he is in a hurry to deal with it, without any sense of a kingly aura.

Li Yan lay stiffly on Hu's bed, his expression leisurely, just like a dead fish.

"Prince!"

Li Heng led Li Yuanhong into the hall.

Seeing Li Yan's cowardly appearance, Li Heng suddenly pulled Li Yuanhong out and said, "Your Highness seems to be not here, maybe in the yard."

Li Yuanhong had already seen Li Yan, but he turned around and went out with Li Heng's power, shook his head and sighed, and said to himself: "Just like this, how can you control the rudder of the world and hold the world?"

Li Heng pulled Li Yuanhong around the yard, talking about the current situation, with a worried expression about the future of the Tang Dynasty, and said, "Li Xiang, the father, the auspicious person, will definitely turn the danger into peace. However, during his recovery period, our dynasty must not be in chaos. If the chaos is in danger, the world will be in danger! If Li Xiang is in charge above the temple, he can rest a hundred times, but the Jiedushi who holds heavy troops must be treated with caution."

Li Heng's words reached Li Yuanhong's heart.

Li Yuanhong has always been worried that he is strong on the outside and weak on the inside. Even if he reconciled with Pei Min, his core intention remains unchanged. He sighed: "This matter is indeed a disaster for me."

Li Heng said: "I have discussed this with Your Highness. Your Highness also feels that his father is too indulging in the border commander, and he neglects people's livelihood. Now our dynasty attaches too much importance to military affairs and most of the national taxes are used to support the army, and the people of the world have not obtained actual convenience. Military spending should be weakened to improve people's livelihood."

Li Heng said very well.

Li Yuanhong kept nodding. With his talent, how could he not tell that this was Li Heng's own meaning?

Looking at Li Heng who was neither humble nor arrogant, thinking of Li Yan's salty fish-like posture before, he couldn't help but think: "Ruo Zhong is the future crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the world will be settled."

The two chatted all the way, went around and returned to the hall.

Li Yan had already sorted out his clothes and waited for Li Yuanhong.

Li Yuanhong explained some of his own temple to Li Yan in detail.

Li Longji began to delegate power very early.

Therefore, he was critically ill this time, and many things in the temple were still going on in an orderly manner.

As the Prime Minister, Li Yuanhong turned the target of reporting major events into the crown prince.

Like the former prince, Li Yan had never been in contact with government affairs before, and he was confused when he heard it.

If Li Heng hadn't helped to help and make some suggestions, Li Yan wouldn't have understood many things.

Li Yuanhong shook his head lightly, walked out of the Eastern Palace, looked back at the Eastern Palace, and felt a little cold in his heart. How could this prince take on the great responsibility?

At this moment, in the East Palace, Li Heng apologized to Li Yan with annoyance.

"It's for your brother, it's not. Li Xiang came too suddenly. He didn't have time to inform Yandi, so he made Yandi foolish."

Li Yan shook his head and said, "Third Brother is so polite. If it weren't for the third brother's busyness, I wouldn't know how ugly it would have been. I really can't do the position of Prince of the East Palace. I have been unable to be at peace all these years. I just hope that my father can recover as soon as possible... to avoid this sin."

Everyone was jealous of the position of the prince, but Li Yan didn't feel any souvenir at all, as if he was just a burden.

Li Heng couldn't help but snorted in his heart: "What I long for in my dreams, my younger brother actually disdained me." It really made him angry.
