Great Tang Southern Emperor

"Hmph, my Confucianism has been passed down for thousands of years, and since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed all schools of thought, I have always respected the world. How can it be that a mere childish child can subvert it if he wants to?"

Chapter 359 Li Yuanchang's Small Actions (1)

Chapter 133 Li Yuanchang's Small Actions (1)

No matter what it says on the outside, inside the royal room, it is another scene.

In Rencheng Palace, Li Daozong is receiving a guest, it is Li Yuanchang, King of Han.

Originally, because Li Yuanchang had offended Li Zhen before, and he was the one who provoked the trouble first, he was demoted to the county king by the clan mansion.But later Li Yuan passed away, and he cried to death at the funeral. Li Shimin took pity on him and restored his title.

After resuming his title, Li Yuanchang kept a low profile for a while, but after a long time, seeing that Li Zhen didn't intend to continue to trouble him, he gradually became active again, making friends everywhere—for example, the satisfaction of getting together with Li Chengqian is Li Yuanchang gave it to him.

Seeing that Li Zhen was named Tiance Admiral by Li Shimin and ranked above all the kings, he suddenly felt a little unhappy. Today he came to find Li Daozong just for this matter.

"Brother Huang, the emperor actually appointed Lao Ba as Tiance Admiral. What do you think he means? Is he planning to make Lao Ba the crown prince?" Li Yuanchang has never provoked him since he was restored to the throne. Li Zhen, but this time it was reported that Li Zhen was named Tiance Admiral, Li Yuanchang couldn't sit still.

The reason is very simple, if Li Zhen is allowed to ascend the throne, then he will live in fear for the rest of his life - you must know that he offended Li Zhen very badly at the beginning, even though he suffered a lot that time , but after all he was the one who provoked Li Zhen first.Who knows if Li Zhen will hold grudges about this matter?If Li Zhen always remembers the words, and settles the final score with him after succeeding to the throne, then he will be completely finished, and maybe his life will not be saved.

What's more, Li Yuanchang himself couldn't guarantee Li Zhen's attitude towards him. If Li Zhen became the emperor, he would live in panic for the rest of his life.

Therefore, for the rest of his life, Li Yuanchang had to take the initiative to move around, trying to link up with the royal family and force Li Shimin to ban Li Zhen's Tiance General.In order to improve his prestige, the first one found Li Daozong, the most prestigious king of Rencheng among the royal family (there was also Li Xiaogong, but he had passed away), and tried to use his prestige.It's a pity that he took himself too seriously and ignored Li Daozong's shrewdness.

"What does it mean? It's just a Tiance Admiral. With Zhen'er's contribution and ability, can't he be the Tiance Admiral?" What kind of old fox is Li Daozong?How can you not see Li Yuanchang's careful thinking?Besides, unless all of Li Shimin's dozen or so children died, and Li Shimin's younger brothers also died, the throne would definitely not be his turn. Why should he worry about it?

What's more, he and Li Zhen have a good relationship. The two fought side by side on the grassland ten years ago, and they haven't broken up since then. Although the relationship is not as good as that of Du Hefang's wife Xue Rengui and other close officials, it is still better than others. The royal family is better.As long as he maintains this relationship, and as long as his descendants don't die, prosperity is doomed for a lifetime.I only colluded with Li Yuanchang when I was full, and opposed General Li Zhen Tiance, what good would this do for me?

"But..." Li Yuanchang was not reconciled, and wanted to persuade him again.

Naturally, Li Daozong would not listen to his nonsense anymore, and immediately said bluntly: "Han King, your rank is higher than mine (Li Yuanchang is a one-character king, and the king's name is usually named after the country, while Li Daozong is a two-character king, which is In the name of the county, so Li Yuanchang is one level higher than Li Daozong), I specially received you. But if you are only talking about this matter today, then I will tell you the truth, King Yue was named Tiance Admiral , I have no opinion at all, if you have nothing else to do, please go back."

Although Li Daozong was inferior to Li Yuanchang in terms of rank, but in terms of power, he was a military general with real power. How could Li Yuanchang, a idle prince in name only, be able to compare with him?

I respect you not because you are higher than me, but because you are a guest, this is the way of hospitality.But this does not mean that you can point fingers and talk nonsense in front of me. If I disrespect you, what can you do to me? '

"Okay, okay, then let's not talk about this today, let's just talk about Fengyue." Li Yuanchang naturally did not dare to offend Li Daozong, although he was upset, he changed his mind.

An hour later, Li Daozong drove Li Yuanchang out of the house with a dark face—this bastard said he was only talking about Fengyue, but he was really talking about Fengyue.Could it be that in your eyes, the old man is a nasty person who likes masculinity?If you don't hurry up, the old man's fame in this life will be ruined.

"Don't let people like this in in the future, just send them away." After driving away Li Yuanchang, Li Daozong, who was still tired in his heart, told the porter.

"Yes." The concierge also saw his lord's attitude towards Li Yuanchang, and he had a clue in his heart, so he nodded in agreement.

Being chased away by Li Daozong, Li Yuanchang was naturally unwilling and didn't even go home, so he bought some gifts and walked towards another palace.

Wu Wangfu, this is the second target chosen by Li Yuanchang. Among all the sons of Li Shimin, Li Ke is quite good in terms of reputation and prestige, and he is also one of the people who are quite likely to inherit the great treasure. The title, it is quite beneficial to his next plan.

"My nephew has seen the emperor's uncle." Li Ke happened to be at home today, not only he was there, but Li Yin also just came to visit Li Ke, now seeing Li Yuanchang coming, both of them immediately went forward to salute and say hello.

In fact, Li Ke and Li Yuanchang are the same age (it seems to have been said before that Li Yuanchang and Li Chengqian are the same age, and Li Ke and Li Chengqian were born in the same year), but they are a generation behind, so although I don’t want to see this dancer Huan's uncle, but still respectfully saluted Li Yuanchang.

"No courtesy, no courtesy, you two nephews don't have to be polite." Li Yuanchang accepted the gift carelessly before letting them get up.

This attitude made Li Yin so angry that he almost exploded on the spot, but fortunately Li Ke stopped it in time.

After seeing the ceremony, Li Ke invited Li Yuanchang to the living room, and talked about business: "I don't know what the emperor's uncle wants to do here?"

"It's not a big deal." Li Yuanchang pretended to be relaxed and said, "You all know about Li Zhen being named Tiance Admiral, right?"

Li Ke and Li Min looked at each other, not knowing what the uncle meant by this, but they still replied: "How can we not know about such a big matter?"

"Now that you know it, don't you think it's wrong?" Li Yuanchang lowered his voice, pretending to be indignant: "What is Li Zhen? I admit that he has a little credit, but his nature is greedy and tyrannical, and the people under his command are struggling. What qualifications do you have?" When this Tiance Admiral?"

Chapter 360 Li Yuanchang's Small Actions (2)

Chapter 134 Li Yuanchang's Small Actions (2)

He originally thought that Li Zhen had the highest prestige among the princes, and the one who was the target of public criticism was very likely to be hated and hated by the other princes.Li Zhen herself is Li Ke's biggest enemy when he ascends to Dabao. As long as he provokes a little, Li Ke will naturally follow his own words, and then he will reveal his plan. Li Ke and Li Yin should be almost I can get on my own boat.

However, he underestimated Li Ke too much. With his little ability to sow discord, how could he fool Li Ke?If Li Ke was so easy to be provoked by others, then he would not be evaluated by Li Shimin as "a hero like me".

Sure enough, as soon as Li Yuanchang finished speaking, Li Ke suddenly got up and said coldly: "Uncle Huang, if you are here to talk about this today, then please be rude to your nephew, and please leave quickly, Uncle Huang. My nephew won't tell my father."

Li Ke's words were considered polite, but Li Yin didn't have so many scruples, and said sarcastically: "That's right, you can't even fool me with your little trick, Uncle Emperor, and you still want to provoke brother? You think too highly of yourself." Right? No wonder even the eighth brother at the age of three couldn’t do it, and he stripped naked and hung it up in the car to show the public... That’s all you have, so go back to wash and sleep, and don’t come out to embarrass yourself.”

"You..." Li Yuanchang was furious. As the saying goes, you don't slap someone in the face, and you don't blame someone when you swear. The most embarrassing thing in Li Yuanchang's life was being caught by the three-year-old Li Zhen and stripped naked and paraded through the streets. Afterwards, Li Shimin lowered his title , This incident was regarded as a shame in his life by him, and now Li Yin exposed it in front of him, how could he not be furious?How not to feel ashamed and angry?

"Hmph." Being instantly killed by Li Yin's unique trick, Li Yuanchang naturally had no face to stay here again, turned around and left, but before leaving, he said a word: "This king wants to help you with good intentions, but you don't know what to do. If so, then you just wait for Li Zhen to ascend the throne, and all of you will die."

"Get out." Li Yin made a gesture to chase, Li Yuanchang immediately ran away, but he didn't notice, he fell a somersault, and ran out of Wu Wangfu in embarrassment.

After driving Li Yuanchang away, Li Yin still cursed and said, "You bastard, you are still sowing discord."

Looking back, I found that Li Ke did not answer, but lowered his head, looking thoughtful.

Li Yin's complexion changed: "Brother, you won't be provoked by Li Yuanchang, right? The eighth brother treats us well, you can't think about it, he can't be that kind of person. Besides, all brothers Among them, the eighth brother and you are the ones I admire the most, if it wasn't for the eighth brother and you to be... um... then, anyway, I would not be convinced."

Hearing this, Li Ke raised his head and smiled and said, "Don't think about it, how could I be provoked so easily? The problem is that we won't be provoked, but that doesn't mean others can't be provoked—especially..."

"You mean...fourth brother?" Li Yin was startled, and then laughed loudly: "Hahaha...brother, brother, no matter how shrewd you are on weekdays, why can't you see the situation clearly now? Fourth brother is indeed Interested in the throne, but he is a smart man, Li Yuanchang can't even fool me with his little tricks, can he still fool the fourth brother? Brother, you think too much."

"It's not the fourth brother. With the shrewdness of the fourth brother, how could he be fooled?" Li Ke shook his head and said, "I'm talking about those Confucian scholars and aristocratic families who are not willing to lose power. It's not that the eighth brother has done things these years. You know, that is simply cutting off the foundation of Confucianism, the root of a peerless family, this enmity is comparable to killing parents, how can they let it go?"

"Are you worried that someone will link up with Li Yuanchang's knife to attack the emperor?"

"I'm not worried about my father's side. With my father's temperament, the harder they persecute, the more my father will insist." Li Ke said: "I'm worried about their small actions."

"What do you mean?" Li Yin asked.

"You also know that the main reason why the eighth brother was trapped in Nanyang and the emperor couldn't send reinforcements was because there was an invisible hand manipulating all of this. Vanguard, if there are aristocratic families and Confucianism behind the scenes, the mastermind behind the scenes is likely to notice Li Yuanchang..."

"Hiss..." Li Yin understood Li Ke's meaning, there are definitely many people who hate Li Zhen in this world.As a royal family, Li Yuanchang's prestige may not be as high as that of Li Daozong and other prestigious clans, but he is also a royal family after all, and he is the son of Emperor Gaozu. It may be possible to gather most of the people who hate Li Zhen around - this will be an extremely huge force, even Li Shimin has to treat it with caution.

If at this time, the people behind the scenes cooperate with Li Yuanchang... In the end, maybe they are not against Li Zhen, but the entire Tang royal family...

That would be a disaster for the entire Tang Dynasty.

Li Yin gasped, and said with difficulty: "No... shouldn't it? Li Yuanchang... is also a member of the royal family after all... What good will it do him?"

"With Li Yuanchang's temperament, what can't he do? As for the benefits..." Li Ke sneered: "Do you think there are no benefits? As the nominal leader of this force, if you can really force the father to submit, then He will surely gain an unimaginably great reputation, thereby uniting more opponents, and this power will grow stronger—power breeds ambition, with such great power in his hands, do you think Li Yuanchang will not be interested in that seat? "

"What? Does he still dare to rebel?"

"Why not?"

"Because..." Li Yin suddenly got stuck, because he found that he had no reason to refute.With Li Yuanchang's character, if he really has such a great power, it is inevitable to rebel and force the palace, or he has a little peek at that position now-otherwise he would not instigate Li Chengqian to rebel in history. If Li Chengqian did not rebel, although he might not be able to become the prince, at most he would end up in a cold palace, and it would be better if he ended up in exile in Qianzhou.
