The twelfth year of Xiantong in the Tang Dynasty.
On March 3rd, the dragon looks up.
Prince An's Mansion.
There are seven courtyards in the palace, and there are groups of other courtyards, covering an area of more than 20 mu. The houses in the mansion are connected, the attics are clustered, the flying beams and painted buildings, the rockery and the lake are in harmony with each other, and every flower and tree all coincide with the Tao.
Li Ye, the only heir of King An, held a coronation ceremony today.
For men, the crowning of adulthood is one of the most important ceremonies in life. All the officials, servants, and maidservants of Prince An's Mansion gathered in the main courtyard at this moment, watching closely the prince on the high platform amidst the sound of ceremony and music.
Not only that, because they were descendants of the clan, many princes and nobles from Chang'an City also came, and they all sat on the sidelines to watch the ceremony.
Li Ye, who was at the center of the crowd's eyes, wore a black robe, a high crown and a belt, and wore a sword and boots. He was born with a tall and straight figure, and his brows were high, but now he looked even more heroic.
At the time of celebration, there was a trace of bitterness in Li Ye's eyes. In front of him, the officials of the Zongzheng Temple who presided over the crown ceremony and put the crown on him were indifferent.
The other people in the courtyard, no matter they were the officials of the Zongzheng Temple, or the officials and servants of the palace, showed no excitement on their faces. Some princes and nobles were even whispering to each other and talking a lot.
"King An has passed away for a long time, but Zongzheng Temple has never let the son inherit the king's title. Will it happen today?"
"Before, the eldest son did not become a nobleman. I can understand that he is not old enough. Today he has become an adult. If he does not become a nobleman again, there is really no hope."
"I think Xuan, the eldest son's situation is special, as usual, there is no hope of winning the title, let's see what Zongzheng Temple will do next."
Hearing the discussions of the princes and nobles, Li Ye couldn't help but look at the officials of Zongzheng Temple in front of him, thinking to himself: "The day of the coronation is the deadline for me to inherit my father's title. But when the officials of Zongzheng Temple came, they didn't say anything. Leaving this matter aside, it seems that my chances of inheriting the king's title are slim... Also, a cripple who can't cultivate is not qualified to inherit the king's title."
After traveling through the past few days, Li Ye has figured out the rules of this world.
This is the world of comprehension. The foundation of the Great Tang Dynasty is the team of monks composed of countless qi practitioners, and all the officials and generals with ranks are all monks.
And this body is a cripple who has no spiritual roots and cannot practice. A person who cannot practice is no different from an ant in this world.
"Etiquette has been completed." The official of Zongzheng Temple put on the crown for Li Ye, took two steps back, bowed his hands in salute, and said indifferently, "Congratulations, son."
"Thank you." Li Ye returned the salute.
The official of Zongzheng Temple paused, but under everyone's gaze, he didn't speak any more, turned around and walked off the high platform. With a wave of his long sleeves, he left neatly with the guard of honor and officials of Zongzheng Temple, as if he didn't want to stay here for a moment.
When the princes and nobles saw this scene, they naturally knew what had happened. They stood up one after another, not saying congratulatory words, not even saying hello to Li Ye, and leaving impatiently one by one, discussing with each other.
"As I said earlier, this son has no spiritual roots and is a useless person. How could he inherit the title of Prince An?"
"Let's go, why are you talking so much, you made this trip for nothing."
"King An is famous, his literary talents and martial arts are superior to the clan, he is really a tiger father and son!"
Looking at the backs of the Zongzheng Temple officials leaving, Li Ye, who was standing on the high platform, listened to the discussions of the princes and nobles, his expression did not change much, and he thought: "When my father was alive, he made countless achievements and great prestige. Princes and nobles, as well as court officials, must respect him, now that my father has left, I have not inherited the prince... "
The officials and servants of the palace in the courtyard saw Li Ye stepping off the high platform, and perfunctorily cupped their hands to congratulate: "Congratulations to your son for being crowned."
The voice was not loud, sporadic, sparse, without half energy.
Because he cannot inherit the title of King An, Li Ye may not be able to keep his position as the eldest son.
Li Ye shook his head secretly, but still waved his hand: "Reward."
In any case, Li Ye has been crowned. According to the custom, the master should reward the staff and servants when there is a happy event.
Everyone looked a little better, some even smiled, and their voices were much louder: "Thank you, my son."
Li Ye walked through the crowd without squinting, and said in his heart: "I can't inherit the prince, and this palace will also be taken back by Zongzheng Temple. In the future, these people will have new masters, so naturally they don't have any respect for me. But there are rewards. Next, no one will be unhappy."
Walking through the Chaoshou verandah and heading towards the backyard, Li Ye felt a little melancholy when he thought of this: "If you can't inherit the royal title, you will be a commoner in the future, and you can't be an official if you don't have cultivation. That's the problem."
Li Ye laughed at himself and didn't think much about it.
Of course he didn't have to think about it. Because of the later life encounters, this body has already experienced it in the previous life.
Two days ago, Li Ye, who traveled from the earth, met the soul of this body more than 20 years later, and was reborn at this time.
More than 20 years later, Li Ye was the last emperor of the Tang Dynasty and also a puppet emperor.
"Five or six years later, there was a great chaos in Huangchao. After repeated trials and failures, Huangchao entered the immortal gate and learned Taoism. Later, he gathered a crowd to rebel and broke Chang'an, causing chaos in the world, and all the heroes competed in the Central Plains. At that time, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty died of illness, and all the children of the clan were killed or injured, so this 'Li Ye' was found out from the market and became a puppet emperor with no real power."
Thinking of the past life of this body, Li Ye couldn't help feeling sorry for him, "Holding the Jade Seal of Chuanguo in his arms, he set himself on fire at the Xuanwu Tower, but his spirit unexpectedly returned to the present... just happened to meet me through time travel, and the two Souls merged...
Just thinking about this, two people walked towards him, a man and a woman, both dressed in brocade clothes.
Seeing these two people, Li Ye's eyes changed rapidly from warm to cold.
The man was about the same age as Li Ye, handsome in appearance, but with a conspiratorial temperament, holding a folding fan. This was Li Ye's cousin, Li Yao, who had taken care of Li Ye since he was a child, and the two had a close relationship.
In her 28th year of life, she wore a red shirt and a skirt, and gave birth to a doll-like delicate face. She was flawless, and although her figure was petite and exquisite, she was bumpy and extremely advanced. She was Wu You, the owner of Princess Li.
In Chang'an City, there are as many young and handsome people who covet Wu You's beauty as carp crossing the river.
Both of them are monks in the Qi refining period, and their cultivation qualifications are among the youngest disciples of the clan, leading the group.
"Brother Ye, don't be discouraged. Even if you don't inherit the king today, it doesn't mean that you won't have a chance in the future. I will ask my parents to help you after I go back, and I will definitely let you inherit the king!" Wu You clenched her fist Cheering up Li Ye, his obsidian-like eyes were clear and full of encouragement.
Li Ye and Wu You are family friends, and Wu You is also Li Ye's best friend. When she was a child, she often hung out with Li Ye's buttocks. Although she was extremely talented and a genius in the eyes of others, she never looked down on Li Ye.
Li Ye smiled and said to Wu You: "You are the only one who thinks too much."
"Brother Ye, don't be discouraged. Princess Li is right. If you don't inherit the king today, you will have no chance at all in the future." Li Yao patted his palm with a folding fan and comforted Li Ye, "I will also persuade my father when I go back. , to contribute to your success."
Li Ye treated Wu You sincerely, but when facing Li Yao at this time, he felt strange. \t
Li Ye came back from rebirth, and many people and things that he didn't see clearly in his previous life at this time are now like a mirror.
Don't look at Li Yao booing and greeting Li Ye, acting like a virtuous brother, he looks very friendly, but in fact he has deep scheming and duplicity, relying on himself as a genius in cultivation, he has long coveted Li Ye's title of King An.
In the previous life, Li Ye failed to seize the title, and later he was deprived of the title of Prince An. The title of King An and the mansion of King An were given to Li Yao by Zongzheng Temple.
Li Yao was able to get the title of King An, of course it was not a pie in the sky, but the result of his long-planned plan.
King An has made outstanding achievements and made great contributions to the country. Even if Li Ye loses all his cultivation and cannot inherit the title of King An, he will not be deprived of the title of son of the prince and demoted to a commoner. The title of King An will not fall on the head of his cousin Li Yao. superior.
All of this is the result of Li Yao and his father Xing Guogong colluding with Zongzheng Temple to plot against Li Ye.
At this time, Li Ye suddenly remembered something, and he said silently in his heart: "This time when Li Yao comes here, should he mention that matter?"
Sure enough, Li Yao continued: "It's just that the reason why brother Ye couldn't succeed in attacking the noble is also because you can't practice. In the Tang Dynasty, you can't be an official without cultivation. It is indeed difficult to attack the noble... "
Speaking of this, Li Yao took a look at Li Ye, hesitated to speak, and pretended to be closed.
"Li Yao, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that Brother Ye must not be able to inherit the title? Believe it or not, I will hit you!" Wu You's delicate brows frowned all of a sudden, and she glared at Li Yao angrily, like a An angry kitten, "It's fine if you don't help, how dare you speak sarcastic words!"

Li Yao looked embarrassed. He was scolded by Wu You, but he didn't dare to fight back. All the young and handsome people in Chang'an City knew that Princess Li was the one who defended Li Ye the most and would not allow others to disrespect him. mean... ... "
Li Ye sneered in his heart. He knew what Li Ye wanted to say later, so he didn't say anything right now. He grabbed Wu You, who was bristling with anger, and asked Li Yao, "Unless something, why did brother teach me?"
Li Yao pretended to sigh and hesitated, "Shen Yunshan Taixuanding, brother Ye, have you ever heard of it?"
"Taixuanding? It is rumored that Yuan Tiangang, the celestial master of this dynasty, once climbed the Taixuanding to see the scenery, and he was enlightened. He wrote a piece of Taoism, which contains great luck." Li Ye continued.
Li Yao nodded solemnly, "Tianshi Yuan is a real person, so the Taoism he left behind should not be underestimated. If Brother Ye can comprehend this Taoism and get the blessing of luck in the text, maybe he can grow spiritual roots and become a monk !"
Speaking of this, as if he was afraid that Li Ye would not be tempted, Li Yao followed the temptation: "If brother Ye can become a monk, possess cultivation, once he breaks through Qi training and becomes a magician, then he will be a carp jumping over the dragon gate, and Zongzheng Temple will definitely let you Inherit the title of King An!"
