One day, it was Emperor Xuanzong's long birthday, and many princes and princesses entered the palace to make pilgrimages, and the emperor gave them a banquet in the palace. Prince Heng took this opportunity to meet his father, and when Emperor Xuanzong saw that the prince's hair was also gray, he was surprised, so he took the prince's hand and asked, "Why is Wu'er so emaciated?" ”
Li Heng frowned, but did not dare to respond positively, and said covertly: "Father and emperor rest assured, the son is fine." ”
Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Emperor Xuanzong obviously saw Li Heng's thoughts.
After the banquet, Emperor Xuanzong stopped Li Heng: "You go back first, wait until I get to the East Palace." ”
The next day, Emperor Xuanzong personally visited the East Palace, but only the crown prince Li Heng and a few attendants came out to take over.
After entering the courtyard, a lonely scene comes into view, the courtyard is scattered with yellow leaves, and the pavilion is covered with dust.
Emperor Xuanzong never thought that Li Henggui was so downcast as a prince.
He said to Colix on the side: "The prince lives in such a dilapidated place, why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”
Colix replied, "Please forgive Your Majesty." The minister did know the situation of the prince early on, and wanted to tell the saint many times. It's just that the prince repeatedly obstructed, saying not to disturb the Sacred Heart for trivial matters. ”
In fact, since the change of the Xuanwu Gate in the Li and Tang dynasties, the relationship between the emperor and the crown prince has always been very delicate. Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji and Prince Li Heng were no exception.
When Emperor Xuanzong killed the former crown prince Li Ying, the first prince in his heart was Li Qi, born to Concubine Wu Hui, and Prime Minister Li Linfu also strongly recommended Li Qi as the crown prince.
However, Li Heng was "old, filial and studious", and Emperor Xuanzong really had a hard time choosing between them.
For more than a year, he was restless and sleepless.
Colix's phrase "push long and stand, who dares to re-argue" made Emperor Xuanzong make up his mind, and only then did he canonize Li Heng as the crown prince.
Although Li Heng was a prince, he was cautious everywhere, for fear of offending his father.
At a banquet, the Shang Food Bureau cooked cows and slaughtered sheep, and Emperor Xuanzong specially asked people to cut a leg of lamb and send it to Li Heng's table.
Li Heng cut the leg of lamb, inevitably getting a hand of oil stains, in order to wipe the oil stain, he wiped his fingers on the big cake next to him a few times.
Emperor Xuanzong on the side was already a little angry, but because everyone was present, he did not have a seizure.
Li Heng had already sensed the subtle change in his father's expression, but he pretended not to see it, took the oil-stained cake, and ate it happily.
Seeing his son so frugal, Emperor Xuanzong turned his anger into joy and said with a smile: "Fudang is like cherishing."
In addition to being cautious in the face of his father, Li Heng must also always be wary of Prime Minister Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong.
Li Linfu's original intention was to establish Li Chen, so after Li Heng became the crown prince, the two were on the same page.
Li Linfu, who had a honey-belly sword, was all over the court, and he did not put Li Heng in his eyes at all.
And because Li Heng did not have the trust of his father, he could not let go of his hands and feet to recruit disciples and win over courtiers, so he had always been on the passive side.
On Emperor Xuanzong's birthday, Li Heng frowned because Li Linfu fabricated charges and wanted Emperor Xuanzong to depose Li Heng.
Li Linfu took advantage of Wei Jian's mistake to report to Emperor Xuanzong, and Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming had a close relationship with the crown prince and "wanted to establish the crown prince together".
When Emperor Xuanzong learned of this, he immediately handed the matter over to Li Linfu and put Li Linfu in charge of interrogation.
Li Heng is naturally trembling, and Li Linfu, who has always been good at making things out of nothing, will definitely involve Li Heng.
That's why Li Heng looked so haggard when he rushed to the birthday bande.
But Li Linfu was present, and if Li Heng proved his innocence to Emperor Xuanzong, he would only paint darker and darker.
When Emperor Xuanzong personally visited Li Heng's mansion and saw his downcast appearance, that guard suddenly dissipated by half.
After all, it was his own son, and Emperor Xuanzong immediately ordered Gao Lishi: "Jing Zhao Yin quickly selected five women and white people, and sent them to the East Palace to listen to the envoy." ”
One of the five was the daughter of Cheng Wu Lingjue of Pi County, and because of her crime, her daughter was sent to the court.
She was outstanding in appearance and educated, and she played the lute well, and after entering the East Palace, the crown prince Li Heng was lucky, and soon after, she was pregnant.
Wu's stomach was very contentious, and he gave birth to a son to Li Heng, named Li Yu.
Emperor Xuanzong was very happy when he heard this, and sent someone to send a golden basin to the East Palace, asking Wu to use the golden basin to bathe the child, and then carried it to the palace to see Shengsun himself.
It's just that Wu's body is weak, and Li Yu's body has not stretched, and if he takes a bath, it is likely to kill him.
Li Heng and his wife had to find a child who was not far from Li Yu's birth time and let people take him into the palace.
Emperor Xuanzong looked at his infant grandson, and at first he smiled, but when he looked closely, he was very angry.
He snapped, "This is not my grandson!" ”
Frightened, the old woman hurriedly kowtowed to apologize, and Emperor Xuanzong said: "It's not your fault, hurry back and bring my grandson." ”
When Li Heng learned that the matter was revealed, he didn't care about anything else, and took Li Yu and walked to the palace.
Xuanzong, who has always been majestic, held his grandson, happy like a child, and said to Li Yu: "Well, your blessing will far exceed that of your father!" ”
As soon as Li Heng heard that the imperial throne was stable, he unconsciously set his eyes on the imperial throne.
Emperor Xuanzong turned to Colix again and said, "I am really happy that there are three sons of heaven in this hall!" You can drink with the prince!"
Since then, Emperor Xuanzong's relationship with the crown prince has eased a lot, and when Li Linfu framed Li Heng, Emperor Xuanzong's attitude was no longer to turn a deaf ear, but deliberately suppress Li Linfu and pave the way for the crown prince.
This delicate father-son relationship finally improved with the birth of Li Yu.
And Li Yu also followed his grandfather's wishes, and after the death of his father Li Heng, he became emperor as he wished, for Emperor Daizong of Tang. #头条创作挑战赛 #
