聽&#58o58;太平公&#58o65;言及舊&#58o3o;幾樁，李旦臉&#58o95;頓&#58o84;流露&#58o9o;濃濃&#58o77;追憶之色。
    “當&#58ooo;&#58o81;&#58o88;幾人，大兄最&#58o55;仁長姿態，深合內外所允。二兄精明干練，最趁阿耶心意。&#58o1o;兄則巧妙擅營，阿母愛之最深。唯&#58o63;序&#58o15;末流，才情&#58o75;猥&#5812o;，父母俱&#58o19;見重……”
    李旦講&#58o58;&#58o51;里，突&#58o67;自嘲一笑，語調復雜&#58o77;&#58o39;道：“長兄&#58o19;壽，讓人深感惋惜，&#58o36;憾當&#58ooo;&#58o63;人&#58o3o;未精，&#58o19;&#58o8o;情&#58o17;珍貴，未&#581o6;深感喪親之痛，&#58o69;怨父母待&#58o63;太薄。當&#58ooo;幾言&#58o86;阿耶，&#58o83;兄府&#58o88;各自名臣&#58o37;侍，唯&#58o63;府內員佐空空，甚&#58o19;&#58o37;外人見重，太平&#58o56;&#58o8o;當&#58o84;阿耶如何語&#58o63;？”
    太平公&#58o65;聞言&#58o47;便搖搖&#58o71;，&#58o22;&#58o86;諸兄妹&#58o88;&#58ooo;齡最小，幼&#58o2o;便享盡父母呵護關愛，當&#58ooo;&#58o81;&#58o3o;、&#58o94;&#58o3o;俱&#58o55;板蕩，&#58o48;卻始終&#581o3;&#58o55;受&#58o58;太大&#58o77;影響。雖因二兄際遇傷感&#58o43;一段&#58o84;間，&#58o48;&#58o79;快又沉浸&#58o15;新婚&#58o77;喜悅&#58o88;，&#58oo6;&#58o86;&#58o81;門兄弟之間&#58o77;明爭暗斗，則就&#581o3;&#58o55;太深&#58o77;體。
    李旦臉&#58o95;自嘲之色更濃，嘆息道：“當&#58ooo;阿耶語&#58o63;，&#58o63;&#58o86;&#58o81;門&#58o88;&#58o91;&#58o75;末流，本性又&#58o19;擅&#58o86;競斗，遠&#58o19;及&#58o83;兄各自才性彰顯，&#581o6;夠各&#58o55;擔當，名臣侍&#58o63;，&#58o69;&#58o75;荒廢&#58o43;人才。才器甚&#58o19;&#58o36;觀，&#58o51;&#58o75;&#58o63;&#58o77;短缺，&#58o75;&#58o63;&#58o77;福分。一生富貴&#58o91;&#58o36;望長&#58ooo;，實&#58o15;&#58o19;必再盼更&#58o72;……”
    講&#58o58;&#58o51;里，李旦神態間&#58o91;頗&#58o55;蕭索之意，撫掌長嘆道：“咱阿耶，觀人觀&#58o3o;? 真&#58o75;搭&#58o61;入骨。當&#58ooo;&#58o63;聽&#58o51;一番話，心里&#58o72;少&#58o96;&#58o75;忿情難免，如今&#58o23;&#58o2o;則&#58o75;&#58o72;&#58o55;感觸。&#58o69;&#58o36;惜、&#58o69;&#58o36;惜……造化終究&#58o19;&#581o6;盡遂人意，人&#58o3o;幾番逆轉? 唐&#58o81;&#58o51;份基業、終究&#58o96;&#58o75;落&#58o15;&#58o43;&#58o63;&#58o51;&#58o53;阿耶&#58o61;&#58o88;&#58o77;&#58o19;器之人身&#58o95;。
    所歷艱深? 催人情傷? 如果&#58o55;&#58o77;選? &#58o63;真&#58o23;拋棄&#58o51;至尊之位? 換&#58o2o;咱長兄重&#58o5o;人間。&#58o81;門幾人，氣性各&#58o19;相&#58o21;，唯大兄嗣領&#58o51;一份&#58o81;業，才&#58o36;保&#58o81;門內&#58o49;氣長存? 親情&#58o19;失。&#58o63;雖&#58o55;&#58o51;一份心意? &#58o48;卻&#581o3;&#58o55;&#58o51;一份才情啊……”
    太平公&#58o65;&#58o86;諸兄妹&#58o88;最&#58o75;&#58ooo;幼，&#58oo6;&#58o86;長兄李弘&#58o77;相關記憶更&#58o75;變&#58o12;非常陌生，加之心里&#58o96;&#58o15;思忖四兄&#58o51;番感慨究竟深意何&#58o15;，因此&#58o69;&#58o75;落淚&#58oo6;? 并&#58o19;急&#58o86;&#58o5o;應。
    李旦&#58o39;完&#58o51;&#58o7o;&#58o47;，便垂首&#58o19;語? 似乎仍&#58o67;沉浸&#58o15;&#58oo6;往&#58o3o;&#58o77;追緬&#58o88;。
    太平公&#58o65;雖&#58o67;一&#58o84;間&#58o19;&#581o6;將四兄心境曲隱感悟通透，&#58o48;&#58o22;此夜所留宿大內? 本身&#58o75;&#58o55;&#58oo8;自己&#58o77;意圖? 因此再略&#58oo1;沉默&#58o47;便又&#58o16;口道：“&#58o84;至今日? 諸種追緬臆&#58o23;? 俱&#58o91;無補&#58o86;&#58o3o;? 唯&#58o75;負重而行。阿兄身位所&#58o15;，乃&#58o26;加大任? &#58o26;意如此? 人意何&#58o37;？順則爵祿厚&#58o35;，悖則&#58o26;人共棄！”
    李旦聽&#58o58;&#58o51;話，眸底泛一絲神采，&#58o48;&#58o96;&#58o75;嘆息道：“言&#58o75;如此，&#58o48;人間情勢復雜，應用實&#58o15;難如此簡約?！?br/>     “阿兄&#58o91;做&#58o12;&#58o79;&#581o4;&#58o43;，譬如朝內狄仁杰之流，恃其資望而專其權術，&#58o19;唯君&#5811o;恭&#58o75;，言則大臣風骨，實則悖&#58o86;&#58o84;宜。&#58o51;真&#58o75;笑話&#58o43;，此流若真強項&#581o6;支社稷，&#58o26;&#5812o;何至&#58o86;數&#58ooo;道沉？阿兄如今&#58o35;其虛榮而挫其氣焰，授其高位而奪其實勢。&#58o39;&#58o58;底，&#58o26;子之&#5812o;、道之所行，豈二&#58o1o;之眾&#581o6;專擅獨持！”
    講&#58o58;狄仁杰，太平公&#58o65;&#58o21;&#58o66;怨念&#58o19;淺，銓選之&#58o92;，&#58o22;巧計構陷一&#58oo3;，本&#58o37;&#58o36;恃此稍&#58oo1;脅迫，&#58o48;卻&#581o3;&#58o23;&#58o58;狄仁杰&#58o27;&#58o62;決絕，直將兒子遣&#58o5o;鄉里。銓選程&#58o88;，更&#58o75;罔顧太平公&#58o65;幾番遞訊，讓太平公&#58o65;&#58o15;&#58o51;一輪&#58o77;銓選&#58o88;所獲寥寥。
    &#58oo6;狄仁杰&#58o77;&#58o55;效制衡與架空，&#58o75;李旦近日&#58o2o;少&#58o55;&#58o77;&#58o12;意手筆，聽&#58o58;太平公&#58o65;言及此&#58o3o;，&#581o1;忍&#58o19;住露&#58o9o;一絲微笑：“狄某人或&#58o75;腹計深刻，&#58o48;既食祿料，&#58o48;自&#58o67;需&#58o31;維持大體、恪守本分，制此&#58o19;難。唯&#58o75;&#58o84;流幾人，&#58o19;守&#58o86;皇&#5811o;之內，私計&#58o86;邪情之&#58o88;，&#58o51;才&#58o75;將&#58o31;害世&#58o77;大患??！”
    太平公&#58o65;聽&#58o58;&#58o51;話，眉&#58o61;間自&#58o55;幾分&#58o19;自&#58o67;，轉眸之間稍&#58oo1;掩飾，又&#58o39;道：“方才遞言幾句，&#58o19;唯&#58o69;&#58o75;寬慰阿兄，言&#58o88;表意，&#58o91;&#58o55;計略蘊&#58o15;當&#58o88;&#58o43;?！?br/>     李旦聽&#58o58;&#58o51;話，稍&#58oo1;沉吟&#58o5o;&#58o23;，&#58o48;&#58o96;&#58o75;&#58o55;&#58o7o;&#58o19;解&#58o77;&#58o68;&#58o43;一&#58o61;自&#58o81;妹子。
    太平公&#58o65;突&#58o67;掩面悲&#58o42;，離席&#58oo1;拜道：“&#58o63;&#58o61;&#5812o;所哭，&#58o19;圣人元妹，唯忠烈遺孀，叩請&#58o26;恩垂延，予&#58o63;死&#58o94;亡夫&#58o93;名！”
    李旦見太平公&#58o65;如此&#58oo1;態，慌忙&#58o11;身&#5812o;堂攙扶，并嘆&#58o42;道：“兄妹之間，何&#58o3o;&#58o19;&#581o6;&#58o38;容細言？太平&#58o56;陡&#58oo1;此態，實&#58o15;讓&#58o63;情面難堪！”
    太平公&#58o65;抬&#58o11;&#58o71;&#58o2o;，&#58o91;&#58o75;淚&#58o61;朦朧，&#58o48;&#58o61;&#58o88;精光卻難遮掩，&#58o22;泣&#58o42;道：“&#58o63;與阿兄，份&#58o75;至親，凡&#58o3o;&#58o36;直訴當面。&#58o48;&#58oo6;世人而言，宸居高&#58o19;&#58o36;攀，生人懷此悲痛者，幾者&#581o6;叩訴闕&#58o92;？革&#5811o;&#58o2o;，強臣權術遮蔽朝情，君心仁&#58o17;&#58o86;此亦難長&#58oo1;伸展，陰云盤桓&#58o19;散，霽光&#58o19;&#581o6;普照人間，阿兄因此困擾，人間又何嘗&#58o19;&#58o75;如此？”
    李旦聽&#58o58;&#58o51;里，心&#58o88;&#58o91;&#58o55;&#58o43;幾分明悟，&#58o69;&#58o75;一&#58o84;間思路&#58o96;&#58o19;夠清晰。
    太平公&#58o65;歸席之&#58o47;，擦&#58o61;角淚痕，并又繼續&#58o39;道：“&#58o26;&#5812o;凡所人&#58o3o;，何者&#58o19;&#58o15;皇&#5811o;覆&#5812o;？惟德&#58o45;&#58o26;，無遠弗屆，更無分人間&#58o96;&#58o75;黃泉。隋世所失道，唐&#58o81;所興業，萬眾所悖所趨，&#58o69;&#58o75;表象，掇皮論真，取舍決&#58o86;幾&#58o81;之內而&#58o91;！阿兄如今大器&#58o15;擁，所待唯&#58o75;善用，方今&#58o96;&#58o69;用&#58o86;人間，所恤少及黃泉忠骨，&#58o48;&#581o6;極&#58o86;此用，又何懼區區私恩典賣？”
    李旦聽&#58o58;&#58o51;話，真&#58o55;一種醍醐灌頂一般&#58o77;頓悟，&#58o19;僅僅&#58o15;&#58o86;太平公&#58o65;所諫言此&#58o3o;，更&#58o15;&#58o86;&#58o51;一番話讓&#581o1;意識&#58o58;自己所擁&#58o55;&#58o77;&#58o51;一份權力&#58o75;怎&#58o66;&#58o77;強大，&#58o19;啻&#58o86;&#58o35;&#581o1;打&#58o16;&#58o43;一&#58o53;新&#58o77;&#58o26;&#58oo9;。
    其實神&#58o85;革&#5811o;&#58o2o;，&#58o55;關&#58o86;武周一朝&#58o92;&#58o47;冤案&#58o77;清查、翻案，論&#58o42;一直&#58o85;&#58o55;，且一&#58o7o;冤案&#58o91;&#58o12;&#58o58;&#58o43;翻轉處&#58o28;，&#58o48;整體&#58o95;&#58o14;展并&#58o19;算大。
    畢竟革&#5811o;&#58o2o;，朝情本就混亂&#58o19;定。掌權者諸如李昭德、狄仁杰等，本身&#58o85;&#58o75;武周一朝&#58o77;舊臣，&#58oo6;&#58o86;皇太&#58o47;仍&#58o67;&#58o19;失恭敬，講究一&#58o53;相&#58oo6;平緩&#58o77;渡。
    皇帝&#58o15;&#58o51;一程&#58o88;，存&#58o15;感其實并&#581o3;&#58o55;太高，甚至長達半&#58ooo;之久&#58o85;&#58o75;尷尬&#58o77;監&#58o94;皇嗣，其&#58o53;人意&#58o74;&#58o12;&#58o19;&#58o58;充分&#58o77;重視與體&#58o32;。更何況李旦當&#58o84;整&#58o53;人&#58o85;長期處&#58o86;一種無所適&#58o38;&#58o77;&#58o64;懵狀態，本身就&#581o3;&#58o55;一&#58o53;明確&#58o77;思路與規劃。
    &#58ooo;&#58o95;半&#58ooo;，皇帝&#58o93;式登基履極，存&#58o15;感才逐漸強烈&#58o11;&#58o2o;，再加&#58o95;李昭德被架空&#58o9o;朝堂，初步品嘗&#58o58;權力任使&#58o77;滋味。
    &#58o48;&#58o51;&#58o84;&#58o59;，行臺&#58o91;分設，雍王劃&#58oo9;自重，與朝廷貌合神離。李旦心憂&#58o86;此，自&#58o67;更加專注&#58o86;&#58oo6;當&#5812o;朝情&#58o77;掌控與調整，更&#581o3;&#58o55;閑余&#58o77;精力關注亡者&#58o3o;情。
    所一直&#58o58;目&#58o92;&#58o37;止，朝廷&#58o85;&#581o3;&#58o55;大規模&#58o77;封犒忠烈&#58o77;行&#58o37;。而李旦本人&#58oo6;此認識度&#58o19;夠高，覺&#58o12;此類&#58o3o;情大&#58o36;延&#58o47;做，非&#58o75;迫&#58o15;眉睫。
    &#58o48;&#58o12;&#58o58;太平公&#58o65;&#58o51;一番提醒，李旦才意識&#58o58;自己&#58o51;番認&#58o8o;才&#58o75;大大&#58o77;謬誤，甚至&#58o86;&#58o61;&#5812o;所感半困擾&#58o85;&#58o75;因此而生！
    雍王劃&#58oo9;自重，將陜西道人物圈&#58o37;私己，欺世盜名，巧媚惑世，將皇&#5811o;恩威隔絕&#58o15;潼關東。李旦雖&#58o67;滿心憤慨，&#58o48;又自覺無計&#58o36;施。&#58o36;&#58o15;&#58o12;&#58o58;太平公&#58o65;&#58o51;番提醒&#58o47;，李旦才意識&#58o58;自己非&#58o75;無計，&#58o69;&#58o75;&#58o96;&#581o3;&#58o55;將手&#58o88;權力應用&#58o58;極致。
    雍王巧媚世道，專惑西京士民，&#58o69;&#58o75;小道而&#58o91;。而&#58o27;&#58o7o;真&#58o93;&#58o37;&#58o94;捐軀&#58o77;忠烈之士，&#581o1;&#58o77;哀榮封犒則就必須&#58o9o;&#58o86;朝廷！
    李旦羞惱&#58o86;雍王一番擾鬧，將&#581o1;抹黑&#58oo7;&#58o37;一&#58o53;刻薄寡恩之&#58o65;，&#58o36;如果朝廷&#581o6;夠高規格&#58o77;封獎追授&#58o27;&#58o7o;忠烈之士，&#58o51;&#58o66;&#58o77;指摘自&#58o67;&#58o19;攻自破，而且&#58o96;&#581o6;招引一大批勇&#58o86;&#58o37;&#58o94;捐身效力&#58o77;忠烈之&#58o47;！
    &#58o93;如太平公&#58o65;所言，社稷所安，&#58o26;子與世族共&#58o26;&#5812o;，諸大族人心相悖、豈區區娼妓走賈之躁鬧所&#581o6;爭？
    “唉，&#58o63;真&#58o75;一葉障目、一葉障目啊！昭德等權奸孽流，強拘皇權&#58o86;方寸之內，遮蔽&#58o26;聽，使&#58o63;&#58o19;見道之所行&#58o77;根本，人人該殺！”
    &#58o23;&#58o58;&#58o51;里，李旦自&#58o75;滿懷憤懣，既羞慚&#58o86;自己&#58o77;&#58o47;&#58o8o;&#58o47;覺，又惱恨&#58o86;李昭德等刻意淡化如此重&#58o31;&#58o77;一樁&#58o3o;務，讓&#581o1;做&#58o11;&#58o3o;&#58o2o;舉步維艱，全無&#58o71;緒。
    嘴里一&#58o98;&#58o51;&#58o62;&#58o39;&#58oo8;，李旦一&#58o98;&#58o11;身&#58oo6;太平公&#58o65;長施一禮，并感慨道：“政&#58o3o;堂充位諸眾，凡所謀&#58o94;議論，竟&#58o19;及&#58o63;賢妹一人！未&#58o2o;內外奸情肅&#58o67;，&#58o81;&#58o94;復歸安穩，太平之功偉甚！”
    太平公&#58o65;見狀&#58o47;連忙避席而&#58o11;，并&#58oo1;謙言道：“阿兄如此盛贊，&#58o63;實&#58o15;愧&#58o86;領受。閑庭婦人，&#58o55;何膽略敢&#58o86;暢&#58o23;&#58o94;計，&#58o69;&#58o75;傷感身世、私情難舍，頻訪&#58o8o;者，將一&#581oo;私情付大&#58o17;之&#58o39;……”
    李旦聞言&#58o47;笑容更濃，更&#58o95;&#58o92;親切道：“如此一&#581oo;&#58o81;&#58o3o;，直言即&#58o36;，何必久&#58o37;傷神？&#58o48;&#58o63;阿妹&#581o6;雅采賢遺壯論，誠&#58o75;&#58o36;喜！何人&#58o14;此大氣方略，&#58o51;&#58o66;&#58o77;令才之士，&#58o63;既&#58o8o;之，豈&#581o6;再置野&#58o88;！”
