Chapter 269
When Li Yu said this, Li Heng did not refute anything. Who would have thought that the Tang Dynasty would suddenly reach such a situation from the prosperity of the Kaiyuan period? Such a scene was rare in previous history.
So Li Heng could only nod helplessly, assuming that this was indeed a disadvantage for his and Li Longji's teaching.
However, Li Yu's complaints were not over yet, and then he said: "My father gave me the position of Grand Marshal of the World, regardless of the opposition of everyone. He even almost killed his third brother because of the slander of Li Fuguo and Zhang Liangdi. This did put me in great pressure. But even so, even if I read military books and battle strategies almost all night, when I really fought with An Lushan's rebels, I was still confused. If it weren't for Guo Ziyi and the third brother, how could Chang'an City and Luoyang City be taken back from An Lushan's hands!"
As for the matter of the Grand Marshal of the World, everyone knows that Li Yu's performance is really bad. In fact, the generals' disappointment with Li Yu comes from him, the Grand Marshal of the World.
Although he was in the position of Grand Marshal at that time, almost every plan had nothing to do with him. It was formulated bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit. Li Yu's presence in these battles was really too weak.
The meaning of Li Yu at this time was obviously that Li Heng took Li Yong, who was good at fighting, from this position, and instead used Li Yu, who was not good at fighting.
In Li Yu's current view, it is completely artificially increasing the conflict between the two of them.
The matter went from trying to help his son fight for the throne to his son's complaints, which made Li Heng feel a little more frustrated.
"In this way, you, the prince, are not interested in the throne?"
The prince who he was determined to train was suddenly like this, and Li Heng's heart was basically cold. He suddenly realized that all this was just wishful thinking of his emperor, and Li Yu didn't want to accept his love at all.
"At the beginning, I really didn't know what I felt about the throne. I thought that was what I should bear in my life. However, when the throne was really closer to me, I found that the throne was really different from what I had imagined before. This was not the throne I wanted, nor was it the throne I was good at. If I didn't have the third brother, no matter how difficult it was, I would do my best to make the Tang Dynasty better. But now, the third brother can obviously do thousands of times better than me, so... what the Supreme Emperor said is right. If I learned from the elder brother of the Supreme Emperor, there would be nothing to be ashamed of in our Li royal family. If the Tang Dynasty returned to the prosperity of Kaiyuan's prosperity decades later, I am afraid that those historians would praise me, the current crown prince in history books."
When he said this, Li Yu's expression was very relaxed, as if this was what he should have said, and it seemed that this sentence really made the position of emperor farther away from him.
"Since that's the case, you have decided to give the position of emperor to King Jianning? I want to remind you that without the position of emperor, you may not be able to participate in any major affairs of the Tang Dynasty. The only way to decide is your own mansion. Whether it is a minister in the court or an imperial guard, it has nothing to do with you. Can you really bear these?"
Obviously, Li Heng confirmed this with Li Yu at the end, because this kind of thing was obviously a matter of being drawn without turning back.
The prince will not become an emperor, which will be a big deal in the entire Tang Dynasty. Those who know it understand it because Li Qing has strong abilities. Those who don’t know will definitely think that the Xuanwu Sect incident has been staged in the Tang Dynasty again.
So if Li Yu really wants to give up the position of emperor to Li Qing, one thing Li Heng wants to accomplish in the last few days of his life is to make this abdication at least achieve the effect of Li Chengqi giving up to Li Longji back then.
"I can naturally bear it. For the sake of what I should bear over the years, I have neglected my family in my mansion. Shen's whereabouts are still unknown. Such things will not happen again. Let the Tang Dynasty be left to my third brother to protect. What I want to protect is my own family."
On this night, Li Yu finally figured out the question he had been thinking about since he finished talking to Li Qing. After saying this, the big stone in his heart suddenly fell to the ground. The feeling was really unprecedentedly relaxed.
Seeing that Li Yu had decided on this matter so clearly, Li Heng naturally could not say anything more. From this time on, the father and son were truly back to what the father and son should have become.
All of this had nothing to do with Li Qing. He kept quietly in Xingqing Palace for a night until the morning of the next day.
But when the rising sun rose, a sudden scream came from Li Longji's bedroom. Li Qing opened his eyes and looked at the doctor sitting next to him, and all of them saw some concerns in the other party's eyes.
"Prince, this..."
"Let's go! I'll go with you!"
After saying that, the two hurriedly pushed the door and entered Li Longji's bedroom.
Li Longji was lying straight on the bed, his face was so pale, but his expression was very relaxed and satisfied.
When Li Qing saw this situation, he knew what was going on at that time. He winked at the doctor. He stepped forward and used his fingers to test Li Longji's breath first, then tried Li Longji's pulse, and then he knelt down on the ground with a plop and whispered: "The Supreme Emperor... It's the funeral of heaven!"
Indeed, after fulfilling almost all of his wishes, Li Longji left safely in his sleep. Although several days earlier than the doctor predicted, in Li's opinion, this may not be the best result for Li Longji, at least he left very calmly.
What was a little embarrassed at this time was that there was almost no one with some status in Xingqing Palace except Li Qing, so Li Qing had to be the backbone at this time.
"You go and send someone to send this news to Tai Chi Palace. Let the prince know first, don't let His Majesty know immediately. I'm waiting here!"
