Qian Song

Chapter 494 Li Biao ascends the throne

...

After realizing that he had achieved a huge victory, Li Yunwen was delighted for a while, and then he suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the car had changed subtly.

Until this moment, Li Yunwen still didn't notice that the change in the atmosphere in the car was related to him.

After listening carefully for a while, Li Yunwen concluded that the change in the atmosphere should be related to his grandfather's conversation with Chen Kangbo and Chen Yu.

What surprised Li Yunwen was that the conversation between Li Cun, Chen Kangbo and Chen Tao was very formal.

It can be said that Li Cun is completely understanding everything about the Daqian Dynasty now and taking stock of all the family assets of the Daqian Dynasty.

The conversation between them was not at all like an emperor who was preparing to take the throne and was chatting with his old ministers.

in fact--

People in the Daqian Dynasty had some guesses about Li Cun's hasty return.

The most speculated among them is that Li Cun came back this time to take the Zen position.

Not only the civil and military officials of the Daqian Dynasty, but actually everyone from the Daqian Dynasty could see that Li Cun had had enough of being the emperor.

It's not hard to guess.

Li Cun had almost defeated the whole world a few years ago. At that time, Li Cun could have left some people to finish the work for him, returned to the Daqian Dynasty, and continued to be the emperor of the Daqian Dynasty.

But Li Cun never came back for so many years. Instead, he took his concubines, underage children and his own palace to live, eat, drink and have fun outside.

To be honest, everyone can understand that Li Cun no longer wants to be the emperor.

After all, Li Cunzhen had regarded his career as emperor to the end. It would be meaningless if he continued to be the emperor, let alone achieve anything.

Furthermore, Li Cun has led an uprising since he was under 20 years old. Over the years, he has fought in the north and south, and vigorously developed the Daqian Dynasty. In many aspects, he has achieved unparalleled achievements. It is time to rest. Rest.

In addition, it is not that Li Cun has no qualified heirs.

Although Li Biao is not as good as Li Cun, he has proven that he is a city defender.

Therefore, even the common people now think that Li Cun can pass the throne to Li Biao and retire to enjoy his life.

In addition, after several years of integration and adjustment, the domestic turmoil in the various vassal states has almost subsided, and the relationship between them and the Daqian Dynasty has also stabilized. Under this situation, it may no longer be possible to Use Li Cun as a bond.

All in all, many people, including Li Yunwen, thought that Li Cun came back this time for the Zen throne, and that in the near future, the Daqian Dynasty would officially become Li Biao's.

In fact, it is precisely because of this that Li Yunwen, including the people around Li Yunwen, became depressed, and some people around Li Yunwen (such as Wang Liang) could not wait to express their loyalty to Li Yunwen, because once Li Cunzhen gave the Zen throne to Li Biao, then Li Yunwen, as the eldest son of Li Biao, is likely to be made the prince by Li Biao. At that time, Li Yunwen will officially enter the political stage of the Daqian Dynasty like Li Biao, and the people around Li Yunwen will It is a person who attains the Tao and a chicken or a dog ascends to heaven...

But now Li Yunwen listened to what his grandpa Huang talked with Chen Kangbo and Chen Tao, and it seemed that it had nothing to do with the Zen position. Instead, it seemed that... his grandpa Huang was going to take over the Daqian Dynasty again!

Thinking of this possibility, Li Yunwen's heart suddenly rose: "Could it be that when Grandpa Huang comes back this time, he wants to dethrone my father's position as crown prince?"

Now, not only Li Yunwen thinks so, but even Chen Kangbo and Chen Yu, who are extremely politically sensitive, have raised this suspicion. They are even worried: "Will there be conflicts between father and son in my career?"

At the same time, Chen Kangbo and Chen Yu couldn't help but began to think about how to avoid such a thing from happening and how to take sides.

In this way, the atmosphere in the car will definitely change.

Li Cun, who was really in a bad mood, was not in the mood to explain anything to Chen Kangbo, Chen Tuo and Li Yunwen. Anyway, they would know all this soon.

Li Cun's car drove through Imperial Street, which was both familiar and unfamiliar to Li Cun, and then drove straight into the palace and arrived in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Here, Li Biao personally led the remaining people in the palace to greet Li Cun.

After more than ten years, father and son Li Cun and Li Biao met again.

People were shocked to find that Li Cun, who was almost 60 years old and should have been an old man, was still extremely young and energetic - not even a single white hair on his head, not a single wrinkle on his face. He even said He is only in his twenties, but some people believe him.

On the other hand, Li Biao, who is not yet 40 years old, has gray hair and wrinkles on his face, resembling an old man in his twilight years.

If someone does not know the relationship between Li Cun and Li Biao, after learning that Li Cun and Li Biao are father and son, they may reverse their identities and think that Li Biao is the father and Li Cun is the son among them. .

Although he looked like his father and had been in charge of the Daqian Dynasty for 20 years, when he saw Li Cun, Li Biao immediately knelt down and said, "I respectfully welcome my father back to the court."

To the surprise of everyone present, Li Cun didn't ask Li Biao to get up, but waved directly.

Then, Chen Miaozhen, who still looked like a young woman in her 20s, came to Li Biao, and then she said to Li Biao: "Prince, please stretch out your left hand, and I will take the Prince's pulse number [-]."

Different from the dismissive treatment of Chen Miaozhen more than ten years ago, meeting Chen Miaozhen again is almost the same as it was more than ten years ago. Time seems to have left no trace on Chen Miaozhen. In addition, the same is true for his father. Biao was still unclear, but he was too self-righteous in everything. If he had listened to Chen Miaozhen and kept taking the Shiquan Dabu Decoction, his body might not be like this.

Li Biao did not hesitate, stretched out his left hand, and said very politely: "Sorry for the trouble, Concubine De."

Chen Miaozhen didn't say anything, but directly stretched out four fingers to take Li Biaohao's pulse.

None of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty present, as well as Li Cun's concubines from the Daqian Dynasty who came to greet Li Cun, led by Fang Baihua, knew what kind of trouble Li Cun and Li Biao and his son were making.

Why did Li Cun ask someone to take Li Biaohao's pulse as soon as the father and son met?

in fact--

As soon as Chen Miaozhen took Li Biao's pulse, she already concluded that Li Biao would die soon.

But since the matter was serious, Chen Miaozhen still marked Li's pulse for almost half a stick of incense before retracting her hand.

Then, Chen Miaozhen made an action that made everyone present feel excited.

——She shook her head gently at Li Cun.

At this time, most people had actually guessed that there might be something wrong with Li Biao's health. The reason why Li Cun came back in a hurry this time was not because Li Cun was preparing a Zen position for Li Biao, but because Li Biao invited Li Biao to Save it and take charge of the overall situation.

And as the miracle doctor Chen Miaozhen shook her head, how could these human spirits not see that Li Biao's body might be hopeless?

At this time, how could Li Cun still be in the mood to play riddles with Chen Miaozhen? He gave a straightforward order: "Tell me, how is his health?"

After Chen Miaozhen heard this, she carefully worded her words: "The prince... became ill due to overwork, and now his body is almost exhausted, and the prince has taken strong medicine to support himself..."

Li Cun interrupted Chen Miaozhen's euphemistic words and asked bluntly: "How long can he live?"

Chen Miaozhen was silent for a moment, and then said softly: "At most... one month."

Li Cun's body shook when he heard this.

When everyone saw this, they quickly wanted to come forward and care about Li Cun.

Unexpectedly, Li Cun stood still as soon as he stabilized his body.

But at the same time, Fang Baihua, who was standing there peacefully, suddenly fell to the ground.

Li Cun, Li Biao, Chen Miaozhen and others saw him and hurried over to check on Fang Baihua's condition.After everyone was busy for a while, Fang Baihua was carried back to the harem.

Then, Li Cun pointed at Li Biao and cursed: "Why don't you listen to my father's good advice? Do you know how much effort your mother and I spent on raising you, you unfilial son..."

Li Cun, who had rarely shed tears in his life, was already full of tears as he cursed.

Everyone knows that a man does not shed tears easily, but he has not yet reached the point of sadness.

At this moment, Li Cun is no longer the overlord who conquered the world. He is just a sad old man who is about to give away his white-haired man to his black-haired man.

Chen Kangbo, Chen Yu and others were afraid that Li Cun would be too excited and have physical problems, so they all came over to persuade Li Cun to calm down. They said that Li Biao also needed to be raised, so they couldn't scold him like this. They also said that maybe Li Biao would be fine if he rested for a while. , and then said that maybe this was just a misdiagnosis by a group of imperial doctors.

Li Biao, on the other hand, remained silent.

Li Biao knew that the reason things had developed to this point was because he was too self-righteous.

Fortunately, now that his father has returned in time, he has not made a big mistake.

The key is, he knows that his father scolded him all because he loved him too much. Otherwise, it would not be the first time that his father died of a son, and there were so many sons, so why would he be so angry?

At this moment, I don't know if it was because Li Biao's most worried thing had been solved, but he was calmer than ever before. He was even touched that his father could be so angry for him.

In his impression, his father had never been so angry because of anyone or anything.

Of course, Li Biao also regretted that he did not listen to his father, take the Shiquan Dabu Decoction given to him by Chen Miaozhen, and did not practice health-preserving techniques with the Taoist priests sent to him by his father.

During this time, Li Biao always thought that if he could listen to his father and not be so self-righteous, he would be able to rule the Daqian Dynasty for at least 20 years.

In another 20 years, Li Biao feels that he can do more things.

Yes.

Although Li Biao regretted that he did not take good care of his own body, he did not regret his contribution to the Daqian Dynasty.

In Li Biao's view, the Daqian Dynasty was the best dynasty at home and abroad in ancient and modern times.

It unified the whole world.

It is unprecedentedly powerful.

It kept most people away from the war.

It keeps more people fed.

It allows a large number of people to live and work in peace and contentment.

In Li Biao's eyes, there seemed to be nothing bad about it.

Li Biao was willing to sacrifice and contribute to such a Daqian dynasty.

On the other side, Li Cun cried harder and harder when he saw Li Biao facing himself with a smile, or in other words, facing death with a smile.

What a son!

What an heir!

Everything was perfect...

Li Cun knew that there was no use in talking about these things now.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Cun stabilized his emotions, and then he rubbed Li Biao's gray hair as before.

Then, Li Cun looked at the civil and military officials: "Listen to the order."

After hearing this, everyone present knelt down.

Li Cun then issued an edict: "The Crown Prince is characterized by his intelligence. He is a filial piety to his friends and gentle, and is well-known to the world. He has been in power for twenty years and has mastered the Bible. It is appropriate to serve the country from the erotic palace. The hope of heaven and man is not I dare to be private. The crown prince will be the emperor."

No one expected that with Li Biao's body in such a state, Li Cun would actually give Li Biao his Zen position!

This time, even Li Biao was surprised.

but--

Someone soon realized that Li Cun was not really passing the ball to Li Biao, but he just didn't want Li Biao to regret it.

In other words, this is just a formality, allowing Li Biao to be the emperor while he is alive, instead of Li Cun pursuing Li Biao as emperor after Li Biao's death.

In fact, this does not agree with etiquette.

Because, since ancient times, there has been no two kings in the country.

If according to traditional etiquette, Li Cun gives the Zen throne to Li Biao, then Li Cun will definitely become the Supreme Emperor.

After Li Biao succeeds to the throne, he will establish a crown prince.

After Li Biao dies, the crown prince appointed by Li Biao will ascend the throne, and then Li Cun will become the supreme emperor.

But the current situation is obvious that after Li Biao dies, Li Cun will continue to be the emperor, and then smoothly transition the Daqian Dynasty to the hands of another prince.

In fact, this is also the best choice for the Daqian Dynasty at present.

And if this is the case, then it is better for Li Cun not to give the throne to Li Biao, so as not to cause complications if Li Biao has selfish motives and appoints someone who should not be appointed as the crown prince.

But the civil and military officials of the Daqian Dynasty, as well as the emperor's relatives and relatives, knew very well that Li Cun did this because he did not want Li Biao, who had been in charge of the Daqian Dynasty for 20 years, to fail to become emperor until his death.

In this case, who dares to persuade Li Cun to take back his life?

Only Li Biao, who was about to pass away, dared to advise: "Father, I really don't care if I have just passed the throne, so don't waste people and money."

Li Cun snorted: "It's not up to you to make the decision."

Under Li Cun's insistence, Li Cun held a grand coronation ceremony for Li Biao seven days later, making Li Biao the legitimate second emperor of the Daqian Dynasty, known as Taizong of Qian in history.

After Li Biao ascended the throne, he only sat on the dragon throne for a while and then returned to his East Palace.

In the last period of Li Biao's life, Li Biao did not participate in any government affairs, nor did he listen to the instigation of some people to make Li Yunwen the crown prince. Instead, he just played with his clockwork in his small courtyard that he had not played with for many years. Toys, and the old dogs that kept him.

At the same time, Li Biao also declined everyone to visit him. He said that he was too tired and wanted to take a good rest for a few days.

On August 36, [-]th year of Hongwu, the second emperor of the Daqian Dynasty, Qian Taizong Li Biao, died after only being emperor for eighteen days.

A month later, Li Cun was "restored" and continued to rule the Daqian Dynasty as the emperor of the Daqian Dynasty...
