After discussing the future arrangements with King Qi, Li Ye was planning to drink a few cups, but unexpectedly, the imperial edict was delivered, and Li Yan asked Li Ye to enter the palace immediately, saying that he had something to discuss.
In the past, Li Yan seldom sent orders to Li Ye to let him enter the palace. If Li Yan had nothing to do, he would come to Prince An's mansion by himself when Li Ye was resting. Other times, they send someone to send a message saying that there is a masterpiece recently, and let Li Ye go to appreciate it when he is free, and the time is determined by Li Ye himself.
It seems that this matter is more urgent today.
Naturally, Li Ye had no reason to refuse, and immediately entered the palace with the eunuch. To Li Ye's surprise, this time when Li Yan saw him, he was not in a place where he was having fun, but in the most serious Hanyuan Hall.
Li Yan, who occupies the throne, wears a beaded crown on his head, a dragon cannon, and a long sword on his waist. He is dressed in a grand manner, as if he is going to participate in some sacrificial ceremony. This is extremely rare for Li Yan who usually dresses casually.
It has to be said that people rely on clothes. At this time, Li Yan's body has lost the color of wine and meat, and there is a lot of majesty and dragon power. All of this clearly shows that he is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Ye didn't know where Li Yan was singing, maybe the other party felt that he should change his face and become a responsible and authoritative emperor? These thoughts flashed in Li Ye's mind, and he saluted like a ritual, without showing any emotion.
Behind Li Yeping, Li Yan stood with his sword. Under the former's admiring gaze, he posed for a while, and then smiled and asked Li Ye: "How is it, brother Ye, do I look like an emperor?"
Li Ye felt helpless in his heart, but he still cooperated on the surface, "Your Majesty is naturally powerful, which breaks the heart of the courtiers."
Regardless of whether Li Ye believed it or not, Li Yan himself did not believe it anyway. He sat back on the dragon chair in a dull manner. He had no intention of maintaining the aura he had deliberately put on just now, and stared at Li Ye for a long time.
Li Ye didn't know why, so he could only cast a questioning look at him.
At the end, Li Yan sighed and said sincerely: "When it comes to the majesty of the emperor, Brother Ye is indeed more than a hundred times stronger than me. If you stand there casually, you have the momentum to make the subjects bow their heads and worship. I don’t think I’m much different from ordinary people.”
If these words were changed and happened between other monarchs and ministers, the problem would undoubtedly be serious, but from Li Yan's mouth, there was a heart-to-heart talk. But if so, this is not appropriate after all, Li Ye also spoke out to advise.
Li Yan waved his hand, signaling to Li Ye that there is no need to say more. He sat up straight, looked at Li Ye, and said word by word: "There is a very important thing to let Brother Ye enter the palace today—this may be my life. The most important decision that has had the most profound impact on the dynasty!"
Li Ye faintly realized something, but he couldn't be sure, because it was too unbelievable, so he could only wait for Li Yan to continue talking.
Li Yan took a deep breath, as if there was an extra mountain on his shoulders, which made him a little out of breath, and then he took another long breath, and his expression immediately relaxed, as if the mountain had been removed from his shoulders.
After taking a deep breath, Li Yan expressed his decision as the emperor: "I have decided to surrender the throne to you!"
Even though he had already made some preparations, Li Ye's heart was still full of waves when he heard these words.
...
It was snowing heavily, and the snow was three feet deep. The eunuchs and ladies in the palace were constantly
Cleaning the road, the forehead is full of sweat, but no one dares to slack off.
Li Yan was walking on the wet road, and his feet creaked from time to time.
The eunuch who served him was driven far away by him, and no one came to hold an umbrella for him, and his shoulders and head were soon covered with snowflakes. The dragon robe and beaded crown that originally set off the emperor's majesty gradually changed beyond recognition, and could no longer give people half of the power.
Or maybe it never gave people strength. When Huang Chao attacked Chang'an and Li Yan fled in a hurry wearing a dragon robe, he had already realized this. Those who can give him strength are thousands of troops loyal to the dynasty and willing to fight for him.
Li Yan will never forget that when he was trapped in Chengdu and was in constant panic, he was so happy when he heard that King An led his army to defeat the rebellious army, conquered the capital, and wanted to welcome him back to the court.
When he came to Xiyuan, Li Yan boarded the dragon boat. The water in the pool has been frozen, and the dragon boat can no longer sail and can only berthed on the shore. But Li Ye didn't care about this, he came to Class A and ordered someone to set up a table to warm the wine.
Appreciating the beautiful scenery alone in the wind and snow is originally a lonely thing. What Li Yan hates most is loneliness. It will make people feel that there is no one to rely on and no one knows. He likes to be lively, so in the past he often let Li Ye come into the palace to accompany him.
But today, Li Yan thought it would be nice to sit alone and enjoy the snow.
He remembered the ambush that happened on this dragon boat some time ago.
When he woke up at that time, he was told that the matter was completely over. Not only did Li Ye not suffer any damage, but he even wiped out the ambushers. This made Li Yan rejoice, but also feel afraid for a while.
He knew very well that if Li Ye died, he would not end well. Today's free and undisturbed play life will only become a bitter memory in dreams.

After waking up, Li Yan felt very sorry for Li Ye. After all, he was the one who called the other party into the palace, and as the lord of the palace city, as the emperor, he couldn't even tell whether he was a confidant or a secret agent, not to mention protecting the other party's safety. Out, sending the other party and the dynasty into a dangerous situation.
Afterwards, Li Ye sent someone to take over the defense of the palace. Li Yan didn't think there was anything wrong. He thought he needed Li Ye's protection. The people I kissed were really too unreliable.
Now, the situation of the whole world attacking Tang Dynasty has been solved. Khitan is subjugated and the grassland is peaceful. Enter the Western Regions and complete the last piece of the puzzle in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
At this moment, Li Yan was inevitably very happy, but after calming down and thinking about it, he realized that he had been done for everything, but at the critical moment of the war, it had the opposite effect.
When he thought about it carefully, he couldn't find a thing that was beneficial to the country. The only thing worthy of praise was letting Li Ye take charge of the overall military and political situation.
But now, with Li Ye's outstanding achievements, some courtiers in the court who have ulterior motives, or who are corrupt and pervert the law and are afraid of being dealt with by Li Ye, have started to spread rumors that Li Ye wants to replace him, and will soon mobilize the palace. Change!
Li Yan knew that he was powerless to change people's hearts, and he didn't have the ability to rule the world, so he didn't care about it.
That being the case, don't get in the way of Brother Ye anymore, otherwise you will be sorry for the other party's dedication to state affairs. In this way, even if he achieves nothing, he will not be too ashamed when he meets his ancestors underground.
Brother Ye is originally a child of the clan,
There is no doubt that Zen is in his position, and the Li family's situation will only get better.
As for myself, I can do what I want without any burden, and I no longer have to think about things that give me a headache.
The wine was already warm, Li Yan drank a cup facing the heavy snow.
Although there is a sense of loneliness, it is more relaxed and relieved.
... ... .
Li Ye walked out of the gate of the imperial city, facing the wide and straight Zhuque Avenue, and stood quietly for a while.
There are very few pedestrians on the street, and the heavy snow seems to be endless. The neighborhoods in Chang'an are covered with a layer of silver, which looks ancient and ancient, with abyssal artistic conception, making people feel peaceful and fresh, not anxious or messy.
When Li Yan said that he wanted a Zen seat, Li Ye was greatly touched. Although Li Yan gave him the throne in his previous life, the situation at that time was very different from the present. The most fundamental difference is that in his previous life Li Yan was already seriously ill and dying.
Living the Zen position and finding someone to succeed him before death are two completely different issues. The world is so big, who would willingly spit out the meat they ate
Even though Li Yan ignored state affairs, he enjoyed the emperor's dignity and power exactly. , life and death, control of everything, this is something that no one can discard, not even Li Ye himself.
But Li Yan did this, and he did it on his own initiative.
Before that, Li Ye didn't say that there was no persecution, and he didn't even reveal his meaning, let alone let ministers like Li Zhen and Cui Keli speak nonsense, and let the Tsingyi Yamen spread rumors everywhere.
Under such circumstances, Li Yan took the initiative to take the Zen position, so that Li Ye could not help but feel a surge of emotion no matter what.
"The brotherhood between His Majesty and His Highness is truly unprecedented." Shao Si Ming behind him suddenly said, although his voice was light and light, the envy in his words was very strong.
Da Si Ming glanced dissatisfiedly at Shao Siming, probably blaming her for not being so envious of Li Ye, after all, their friendship is also fatal, and they can definitely end each other's queen at a critical moment. But as an elder sister, of course she would not blame the other party for such a problem.
Li Ye smiled complicatedly, "Really not?"
Shao Siming nodded earnestly: "With His Highness's meritorious status, he has long been a powerful minister that no one can check and balance, but he has always kept a respectful distance from the throne, and has never coveted it. Even if others persuade him, he is always indifferent. This is certainly not in the history books. And His Majesty is healthy and young, but he does not suppress His Highness, and even takes the initiative to take the Zen position when he is about to die, this is absolutely impossible!"
Li Ye was startled, and suddenly felt something in his heart, and finally he was completely relieved.
In fact, he felt a little sorry for his brother before. After Shao Siming said this, he finally realized that he didn't need to stick to the worldly etiquette at all. He and Li Yan had a deep love for brotherhood, no matter how the situation changed, this would not change at all.
... ... .
Time flies, time flies, and the new year arrives in a blink of an eye.
At the beginning of this year, an earth-shattering event happened in the Tang Dynasty, shaking the government and the public: the emperor took the Zen throne, and King An ascended the throne.
In the eyes of the vast majority of Tang people, this matter was unexpected, but it was reasonable. What makes Tang people most proud is that there is no bloodshed and no turmoil in the Zen position. It was the emperor who initiated it on his own initiative, creating a historical precedent. In the hearts of everyone, this undoubtedly indicates that the prosperous age will come again.
The new emperor ascended the throne, changed the yuan to heaven, bestowed rewards on hundreds of officials, and amnesty the world.
