What happened in Yunshao Mansion soon followed. Shortly after the morning court the next day, Fengge issued a command order, and the emperor's descendants, Li Dan and his sons, were all demoted to the princes since their grandson Li Chengqi.

This incident naturally caused an uproar in the court. Although Li Tong is now in Yunshao Mansion, he is still in charge of Luantai, so he also learned about the content of the article making at the first time.

Although he didn't listen to Li Longji's explanation yesterday, the officials of Yunshao Mansion told the whole story afterwards, and naturally he understood that the Wu family planned to mess with his fourth uncle's family. Seeing such a result, I felt quite sad.

The royal heir Li Dan is not in a good situation recently, but during such a sensitive period, he sent his son to Yunshao Mansion, probably to arouse some sympathy and protection of the queen through family affection.

After all, after Tiansuo changed the Yuan Dynasty, no matter how fierce the dispute over the succession in the court was, Wu Zetian paid more attention to maintaining family relationships in some public occasions. In the past two years of Li Tong and his family in Qianling, every New Year, the emperors and grandsons all came to the palace to play and celebrate, and at least on the surface, the relationship was relatively harmonious.

However, this year, because the Dou family's relatives were too troubled, they directly led the fire to the forbidden area. Perhaps his fourth uncle Li Dan was worried that even the surface harmony might not be maintained. It happened that Li Tong was the envoy of Yunshao Mansion and wanted to borrow Li Tong's power to at least ensure that the sects could continue to attend the New Year's rituals and music ceremony.

But unfortunately, the Wu family should have been staring at their family recently. Seeing that the sects walked into Yuefu and could not get along well with Li Tong, Wu Yizong followed him and then something happened.

Li Tong's inference was not overestimating himself. At least if he was present at that time, no matter what, he would not give Wu Yizong the chance to seduce those naughty children.

But this kind of thing is really conceivable and unintentional. The various sects of the Wu family were originally distributed among the imperial guards in the north and south yamen, and they were in charge of various positions. If they really wanted to keep an eye on Li Dan's family, they would be able to avoid it once or twice.

In history, similar scenes occurred between Li Longji and Wu Yizong. No matter how potential the future palace becomes strong man has, he is only a seven-year-old child after all, and he has to pay a bloody price to achieve long-term growth.

The five sons of Li Dan were given their titles on the same day, which naturally caused much greater sensation than Li Tong's recent title. But what really attracted people's attention was not the level of the five little boys' titles, but the sentence "The order of the rituals" in the book was "In other words, the original titles of these five boys were chaotic, and now they are normal.

If we extend it, it means that the status of the emperor Li Dan is not essentially different from that of the king of Wei Wu Chengsi and others. After Li Dan abdicated, he was granted the title of the emperor's heir, literally, he was naturally the emperor's heir. But if he could interpret it so simply, why not just be granted the crown prince?

The five kings surrendered their titles today, with the purpose of weakening the meaning of the title "throne heir" in terms of rituals.

In the past, although the emperor's heir Li Dan had not yet entered the Eastern Palace, his sons were princes. His eldest son Li Chengqi had the exclusive title of "Emperor's grandson". Li Tong and others could only be the same emperor's grandson in embarrassment. As for King Li Longji of Chu, he was even more filial to the emperor's heir.

Now that they are not specialized, they are all demoted to ordinary princes. Then the "throne heirs" who were originally supported by them and somewhat transcendent, naturally they can only be demoted to a higher level.

Especially when Li Longji returned to his hometown this time, he no longer respected his heirs, which meant that Wu Zetian wanted to kill Dou, a great tiger who was the noble of Guanlong. After all, the reason why the emperor's grandson Li Chengqi was able to make a special name before was because of his eldest son, while the King of Chu Li Longji was because of his foreign tribe Dou.

A deeply rooted family has more than just that simple background. Li Tong, by using Dou Qi to embezzle Dou's industry in Guanzhong, cannot be praised for its roots. The reason why the Dou family is abolished is that no leader stands out to bring out the potential accumulated over a century of years.

The reason why Li Longji was able to successfully take office in the future is naturally because he was the main participant in the palace changes. The reason why he dared to jump like this is naturally because of his courage and ability, and the other is that the Dou family, an outsider, brought him a lot of power that could not be obtained in the conventional political landscape.

From the late Wu Zhou period, especially after Li Xian's return, the situation entered a turning point, that is, returning to Guanlong. Although Wu Zetian's autocratic life was not as powerful as the surface, and the imperial authority had been ruined in his hands.

During the Wansui Tongtian period of Wuzhou, a treason occurred, that is, the treason of Qi Lianyao and Liu Sili. This time, the treason was neither three nor four, nor Wu, but he wanted to be the emperor himself. In this treason case, many Guanlong families, including several other parties, participated in it.

In other words, some forces are already extremely impatient in the current situation to see you mother and son, and your aunt and nephew are messing around. Since you don’t want to live a good life, I will be the emperor!

At that time, when the Khitan was in chaos, foreign affairs were already in chaos, and such signs appeared inside. With Wu Zetian's political sense, how could he not feel the dangerous atmosphere contained in it?

Therefore, in the second year, King Li Xian of Luling was summoned to Shenducai as the crown prince, and formally determined the retreat for the country's reign to Tang. This transformation was caused by the entire world and was definitely not due to the painstaking advice of several so-called old ministers who planned the country.

The imperial power of the Li family was raised in Guanlong, the old nest. If you want to regain your majesty, you can only return to your nest to continue to absorb nutrients. In this process, Li Longji, as the heir to Dou's political heritage, of course became stronger.

The most likely one in the third family has been killed, and the spare tire has also erupted in a desperate situation and died with the enemy. In the fourth family, Li Chengqi's relatives have almost been destroyed, while Li Chengyi's mother is the granddaughter of Liu Shi, who has long been deserted. Is it okay if I don't let him go?

From a humanitarian perspective, Li Tong has to sympathize with the blows that people will suffer in the next situation. But from the actual situation, he also vaguely expects his grandmother to be more aggressive in his methods. The more violent the attacks on the Dou family, the greater the room for his old clothes club to grow in Guanzhong.

At present, Li Tong didn't know that his grandmother had done something, so he actually gave the Buddhist scriptures presented by his legitimate mother Fang to his fourth uncle's concubines.

Even if he knew, he would not be surprised. His grandmother is both conceited and suspicious, and is accustomed to forcing people to an extreme situation for so-called tests. For example, when he first met Mingtang in the past, he forced Li Tong to be killed by a word.

Doing this now is really a basic operation: Although I have killed your whole family, or are about to kill your whole family, you must keep a peaceful mind, look at the Buddhist scriptures to eliminate the anger, calm down and learn how others educate their sons.

Although human happiness is half based on other people's misfortunes, Li Tong cannot be happy when he sees his fourth uncle's family is about to suffer a lot.

This really didn't change his own situation. He was especially bullied by his fourth uncle's family's naughty children. When he stood up, he would call himself a humble position to Emperor Wu Yizong, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. He really wanted to say to his grandmother, even if you don't restore my title as a prince, even if you are a king, I will be satisfied.

The surrender of the Five Kings was just the beginning, and the next step was naturally the minions. Although Lai Junchen, a cruel official, was still on his way back to Shendu, the Censor Hou Sizhi had been ordered to go to Xijing to ban the sinner Dou Xiyan.

At the same time, Sixing Temple officially took over the case of a private visit to the royal heir by outsiders, and Cui Yuanzong, who had recently been dismissed from prime minister, was responsible for the trial. This arrangement is really full of malicious intentions. First of all, the case is actually quite clear. The severity of the sentencing only depends on how serious the crime of private visit to the royal heir was.

Li Tong knew that Cui Yuanzong's position was more inclined to his fourth uncle Li Dan, but he was known for his strict law enforcement. If Cui Yuanzong was willing to handle the case seriously, he would definitely be able to dig out more personnel involvement. But if he deliberately covered up and Hou Sizhi could dig out more secrets from Dou Xijun of Xijing, then Cui Yuanzong would have caught it.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable that Xue Jichang took the initiative to go to Xijing to clean up the Dou family. Unfortunately, the methods were not fierce enough, so the thunder exploded. Now he can only get in with more people, and he has been implicated.

Although Li Tong avoided Yunshao Mansion, he still found it difficult to stay out of the matter completely.

That afternoon, after he got off work, he left the imperial city and got off Tianjin Bridge. Shortly after he got off the bridge, a middle-aged man in brocade robe surrounded by several escorts next to the street on the side of the bridge head came up walking. It was a few feet away from Li Tong's mount. He raised his arms and crossed his hands and told the house: "Xue Menxing's name is Shenyan. He has seen Xunqing. He said that the left side was obstructed. Please forgive me."

"It turned out to be General Xue, Duke of Pu Guo."

After hearing this, Li Tong quickly turned over and dismounted, raised his hand to respond, and looked at the other party curiously. During the Yongchang period, the court posthumously named Xue Rengui as Duke of Pu Guo, and used his son Xue Nesi as the title of General of the Right Guard, which was the person in front of him.

Li Tong naturally heard of Xue Ne's name, but there was no intersection between them. Seeing that he was waiting for him, he felt a little curious in his heart. After seeing him, he asked, "I don't know that Pu Guo is waiting for him, what can I do to teach you?"

As his name was, Xue Naren was a little unrighteous in speaking. Seeing the two standing opposite each other, many court officials who came down from Tianjin Bridge watched. He did not answer Li Tong's question at first, but said, "Is this a blessing to Xunqing? "

After hearing this, Li Tong also changed his mind. Xue Ne is an imperial guard general, and his identity is a bit sensitive. He may have been calm recently and is not so alert that he dare not communicate with others. However, in the eyes of those who are interested, he is still suspicious.

"This is indeed not a place of conversation. There are relatives who have their relatives near you. I wonder if General Xue is willing to go with you?"

After thinking about it, he decided to go to his aunt Princess Taiping to meet Xue Ne.
