    "Is there anything else?" Shangguan Yi pondered while thinking about his beard. He gave Wang Shilang, who was sitting next to him, a look. Wang Shilang understood and took the officials who followed him out of the private room. Guan Sixing saw  Knowing that Shangguan Yi had something private to say to him, he asked all the officials in Yizhou to go out.  There were only two people left in the private room, Guan Sixing said: "Shangguan Ge Lao is more than just giving advice?" Shangguan Yi stood up and walked to the door. After confirming that no one was there, she said to Guan Sixing: "Sixing, Your Highness has been in power for four months.  Year, if I remember correctly, Your Highness should be over twenty-eight this year. This is not a young age. Our current emperor ascended the throne at this age. " Guan Sixing nodded and acquiesced to Shangguan.  Yi's statement.  "It's just that everyone can see now that our Highness is better than the Emperor in martial arts and martial arts. Moreover, the Emperor is now in good health and will have no problem living for another thirty or forty years. How can we, the ministers, keep His Highness waiting?  Will he ascend the throne again in thirty or forty years? Since the emperor has said this, I think the emperor may also have to take exams in this area. Now he only needs someone to persuade him." Shangguan Yi turned to Guan Sixing and said softly.  "It's not impossible, it's just that His Highness is benevolent and filial. If he finds out about this" Guan Sixing hesitated.  "Sixing, why are you confused? Your Highness is benevolent and filial, but there is no such thing as benevolence and filial piety in this matter of the throne. Because of the two words of benevolence and filial piety, His Highness cannot force the palace like the emperor did back then, but we ministers can't see it in our eyes.  Just sit back and watch, do you want to wait until His Highness is in his 60s to ascend the throne?" Shangguan Yi's tone suddenly became stern.  Guan Sixing was silent. How could he not understand this truth when he was the emperor and his courtiers? Now Li Min indeed has the power to himself. It can be seen that there are some things that Li Min still dare not vigorously reform. This is more or less  It was because of Li Shimin's influence that it felt uncomfortable to be oppressed forever.  "The old saying of Shangguan Ge is true. Since ancient times, the position of emperor has been won by the wise. For the sake of Your Highness and the Tang Dynasty, I, Guan Sixing, will take this risk." Guan Sixing said firmly.  Showing a smile of appreciation, Shangguan Yi said: "Sixing, you are familiar with Taoist Master Li Chunfeng. In fact, you don't need to go out in person. You just need to ask Taoist Li Chunfeng to hand over a book to the emperor. With the emperor's shrewdness, he  Then you will know what to choose. " "Book? What book?" Guan Sixing is a good person in government affairs, but when it comes to power, he is inferior to Shangguan Yi.  Shangguan Yi slowly said: "The allusion of the three ancient emperors Yao, Shun, and Yu." Guan Sixing nodded lightly when he heard the words. The focus of this allusion is the meaning of the Zen position and the sage inheriting the throne. Li Shimin will naturally understand what it means.  "Then I'll go get ready." Guan Sixing said.  Hearing this, Shangguan Yi patted Guan Sixing's shoulder lightly, "Sixing, if His Highness ascends the throne, I will definitely recommend you to go to Chang'an. You are really overqualified in Yizhou."  Hoping that he would be promoted step by step, Guan Sixing said: "Thank you, Mr. Shangguan Ge, for your love." After the banquet, Shangguan Yi returned to Chang'an with the officials, while Guan Sixing invited Li Chunfeng to a matcha manager in Yizhou. After drinking tea and joking,  , Guan Sixing brought the conversation to the point and said: "Taoist Li, there is one more thing that needs the Taoist's help in this invitation." Today, Li Chunfeng no longer just practices Taoism in Qingcheng Mountain, but occasionally teaches astronomy at Yizhou University.  After meeting Guan Sixing, who was fond of astronomy, the two immediately felt like they had met close friends. They often discussed these astronomical knowledge together, "Guan Prefect, just say it." He took out a book wrapped in silk from his arms.  Book, Guan Sixing said: "Please also ask Li Daozhang to pass this book to the emperor." After taking the book, Li Chunfeng wanted to open the silk cloth, but Guan Sixing held his hand down, and he said: "This is very important  Those things must not be known to outsiders." Li Chunfeng took back his hand blankly and said, "Is this what His Highness wants to give to the emperor?" Hearing this, Guan Sixing just smiled and said nothing.  "I understand." Li Chunfeng regarded Guan Sixing as a confidant, so he naturally did not doubt that there was something wrong. Guan Sixing smiled and said nothing, and he took it as his acquiescence. The two of them had tea for an hour, and Li Chunfeng took a ride when the sun was setting.  The car returned to Qingcheng Mountain.  Li Shimin has been practicing Taoism with Yuan Tiangang since he came to Qingcheng Mountain. Now that Yuan Tiangang is older, he has a childish face and a fairy-like appearance. This makes Li Shimin even more obsessed with Taoism. In order to let Li Shimin  Shimin had a clean environment, and Qingcheng Mountain also welcomed visitors from now on. However, there were many Taoist boys on the mountain to serve Li Shimin's food and daily life.  In the evening, Li Shimin had just finished meditating. He wanted to go out for a walk, but he met Li Chunfeng who was going up the mountain. He smiled and said, "Daochang Li is going to give lectures at Yizhou University again?"  Li Chunfeng returned the salute and said: "Your Majesty, Pindao went down the mountain to return to a friend, and he asked me to bring a book to His Highness." "Oh." Li Shimin said a little strangely: "Who is it? Give it to me.  "It's Guan Sixing, the governor of Yizhou. His Highness seems to have asked him to forward this book to the emperor," Li Chunfeng said honestly.  Taking the book wrapped in white silk cloth from Li Chunfeng, Li Shimin opened it and took a look. The light in the distance was dim, but he could read the allusions in the book word for word, but he was not shocked at all.  Instead, he smiled helplessly, "These Yizhou officials really can't wait, hey." Seeing Li Shimin sigh, Li Chunfeng said: "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with this book?" Li Shimin shook his head and said: "  It¡¯s okay, Daochang Li should go and do his own thing.¡± After saying that, Li Shimin turned around and went back to his room, then put the book in the wastebasket. After a moment of thought, he realized that this was a good thing done by the Yizhou officials.  However, this group of officials obviously underestimated the relationship between Li Shimin and Li Min, and also underestimated Li Shimin's ambition and courage. After Li Min firmly controlled the Tang Dynasty, he thought of the Zen position, and he has been  So he still clung to the throne, not because he was greedy for power, but because he was afraid that Li Min would not be able to suppress the officials in Chang'an. Now that Li Min's prestige had exceeded his expectations, he thought it was time to make this decision, because  He understood that the throne at this time was like a bottle of poison to him. Holding it in his hand would not do any good, but would harm his life. And this book sent by Li Chunfeng just proved this. Some people can't wait.  , thinking about this, Li Shimin asked someone to clean up, and he planned to return to Chang'an.  Ever since he asked Li Chunfeng to hand over the book to Li Shimin, Guan Sixing, who had sobered up from drinking, had been on tenterhooks every day. He secretly regretted that he had suddenly believed Shangguan Yi's words because he was so dizzy at the time. If Li Shimin became furious because of this, I'm afraid his whole family would be punished.  The whole family was copied and beheaded.  After two days of panic, Guan Sixing suddenly received a call from Shangguan Yi. On the phone, Shangguan Yi was very excited and told Guan Sixing the news that Guan Sixing had decided to meditate in Li Min in the morning and that the meditation ceremony would be held soon.  He continued to praise Guan Sixing during the ceremony, which made the frightened Guan Sixing finally breathe a sigh of relief.  In Chang'an City, the news of Li Shimin's Zen throne has been known to everyone, but this news seems to have become a topic of conversation among people after dinner. Both the common people and officials are acting as they should. Of course, they are open-minded to Li Shimin's abdication to make way for others.  The praises continued, and Li Shimin also gained a good reputation for himself.  For Li Min, Li Shimin's move was a bit too sudden. After Li Shimin returned to Chang'an, he immediately summoned the ministers. Li Shimin praised Li Min in front of Li Min, and then talked about the story of Yao, Shun, and Yu's Zen position.  The allusion goes on to say that Li Min is more wise than him, but now he has no interest in government affairs and decided to hand over the throne to Li Min.  After Li Shimin finished speaking, the entire court fell into silence. Changsun Wuji and other old ministers knelt down and cried bitterly. However, no one chose to persuade Li Shimin to continue to stay on the throne, because they understood that Li Shimin was the truly smart man.  It would be better to abdicate in a graceful way than to be driven out. This would make Li Min feel grateful, treat Li Shimin kindly, and allow him to spend his old age quietly, without repeating the same mistakes as Li Yuan.  r1152
