Therefore, since the end of the royal autumn hunting activity, for nearly three months, I have not been to Uncle Han's house, to find Song Ge'er, and to have fun with him.

And I have never told anyone, including my father, about the things that have been entangled in my heart.

On the first day of the first month of the 17th year of Zhenguan, even if I was reluctant, I had to go to Uncle Han's house to pay New Year's greetings and celebrate the birthdays of the two old men. It was under such circumstances that I learned that the reason why Brother Changqing used such methods and means to deal with the archery competition with His Royal Highness Li Zhi, the Prince of Jin, was because it was difficult to disobey my father's order.

But Uncle Han did not say much to explain this, but just said lightly: This is God's will. The lives and property of hundreds of people, young and old, women and children, young and strong, in my Han family and your Liang family, all depend on the wisdom and history of the Zhuge family during the Later Han and Three Kingdoms period.

My husband at that time was just like Han Song. He didn't like reading and learning. He only realized that these things were very useful after he grew up. So for Uncle Han's explanation of a few words, his heart was like a pot of paste overturned, and he was even more confused and confused! (Mother Liang had already chuckled at this.)

When I returned home that day, I immediately told my father what Uncle Han had said. After listening to it, my father pondered for a long time before telling me word by word: The friendship between our Liang and Han families, which has lasted for nearly a century, began at the end of the Sui Dynasty when we accompanied Emperor Gaozu to Jinyang to attack the Sui Dynasty.

During the Wude period of Emperor Gaozu, the only loyal and devoted leader of the Liang and Han families was Emperor Gaozu, the supreme emperor at that time.

Therefore, all the males of Liang and Han families who had official careers did not join the schools of Xi Wang and Yin Prince Li Jiancheng, nor did they serve the powerful political interest group of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, who was already at odds with Yin Prince Jiancheng and Gu Chao Wang Yuanji at that time, so that they could stay out of trouble.

After ascending the throne and inheriting the throne, the current emperor did not attack or blame Liang and Han families because of their original positions and standing.

Even after that, the incident in which the imperial edict was issued and announced to the world, depriving many old officials of the title and title of Wude, did not affect Liang and Han families. Instead, compared with the Wude period of His Majesty Emperor Gaozu, they were more favored and honored.

As your father and your uncle Han, we are grateful to have met such a magnanimous and gracious emperor. We once swore a solemn oath that all the people of the Liang and Han families would serve the current emperor loyally. We would serve him with our lives and blood., the Tang Empire was built by the Emperor. If we violate this promise, the Liang and Han families will be struck by thunder and the whole family will be burned to ashes, and there will be no recovery!

And the current situation, seeing that the political power groups of the Crown Prince Li Chengqian and the Prince of Wei Li Tai are just like the situation before the palace coup of the Hidden Crown Prince Jiancheng, the Ancient Chao Wang Yuanji, and the Prince of Qin in the Wude era, are the same, and the new round of the struggle for the throne is imminent.

Your uncle Han and I, as your father, have carefully studied the Crown Prince Chengqian and the Prince of Wei Tai for many years, and have almost the same judgment on the character, temperament, and behavior of these two princes. Whether it is the Crown Prince Chengqian or the Prince of Wei Tai, they both have very serious character and temperament flaws.

For example, His Royal Highness Prince Chengqian has a foot disease and is unable to walk well. He is rebellious, irritable, and disrespectful to his teachers. He even once said: "I am the emperor and I should indulge my desires. If anyone advises me, I will kill them. If I kill five hundred people, won't I be able to settle things?" !

Another example is His Royal Highness Prince Tai of Wei, who is cold-hearted by nature, sarcastic, unkind, disrespectful, and the root of the strife between brothers!

At this critical period when the situation is turbulent and undercurrents are surging, and the autumn is coming when the leaves fall, your uncle Han can have such vision and courage, which is a great blessing for the hundreds of people in my Liang and Han families!

As a father, I think that His Royal Highness Li Zhi, the Prince of Jin, has been intelligent, knowledgeable, dignified, respectful, filial, generous, kind, respectful to the elderly and the young, and respectful to his brothers. Moreover, because he is the legitimate son of the late Empress Wende, he is an important candidate for the future emperor.

When my father said this, he specifically told me that from today onwards, I should interact more with your brother Changqing. If there is a suitable opportunity, I might as well interact more with His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin and get closer to him. Just don't be too deliberate or ostentatious, but let His Royal Highness understand the intentions of our Liang family. Only by doing so can we not disappoint the good intentions of your uncle Han. )

Afterwards, my father told me in detail about the history of the Zhuge family during the period of the Later Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms. It was not until this time that I learned that during the period of the Later Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, the famous and well-known Zhuge Kongming first assisted Emperor Zhaolie of Shu Han and the first lord Liu Bei, laying the foundation for the Shu Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms era.

After the death of the first lord, he assisted the second lord Liu Chan with the feeling of entrusting the orphan, and inherited the national destiny of Shu Han. It can be said that he devoted himself to the cause and died.

His brother Zhuge Jin and nephew Zhuge Ke held important positions in the regime of Sun Quan, the first emperor of Sun Wu, and loyally assisted the Sun Wu regime to continue the national destiny.

His cousin Zhuge Dan served as the governor of Yangzhou for a long time in the Cao Wei regime.

Since I have understood the history of the Zhuge family, I naturally understand the thoughts and wishes of my father and uncle Han.

As long asAs long as Emperor Taizong is in power, my father and uncle Han will serve him loyally.

Once Emperor Taizong passes away, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, whom they serve loyally, and the emperor who will inherit the throne, must be the legitimate successor of the throne, who is issued by Emperor Taizong and announced to the world!

But if there are those who have ulterior motives and want to take advantage of this period of mourning and do the old deeds of King Wuling of Zhao who left the body unattended and attacked the enemy, thereby causing chaos in the court of the Tang Empire and destroying the lives of tens of millions of people in the Tang Empire, my father and uncle Han will definitely raise troops to defend the Tang Empire and the legal succession of the country issued by Emperor Taizong.

After saying all this, an expression of disbelief suddenly appeared on Liang's father's face.

He stared at Liang's mother, who looked confused, for a long time before he whispered: All things are strange because of one point.

I remember that the royal autumn hunting event was held in September of the 16th year of Zhenguan. In February of the 17th year of Zhenguan, the former crown prince Li Chengqian was deposed by Emperor Taizong because he was suspected of participating in the case of the former Han Wang Li Yuanchang, Hou Junji, and the former son-in-law Duwei Du He's attempt to rebel. He was demoted to a commoner and moved to Qianzhou.

In March of the same year, the second legitimate son of Emperor Taizong, the former Wei Wang and Pu Wang Li Tai, was demoted to the Prince of Donglai County and moved to Junzhou because of the conspiracy to seize the throne.

On April 7, the 17th year of Zhenguan, the young prince, who was highly valued by his father and uncle Han, especially by his uncle, Li Zhi, the Prince of Jin, who even gambled on the future and destiny of the Han family, the eldest sons Han Song and Han Changqing, was unexpectedly appointed as the new crown prince of the Tang Empire by the Emperor Taizong!
