[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 2418

"Father, let's do it!" Li Chong was young and vigorous, and before his father Li Zhen could clear his mind, he said, "It's all right for the emperor to abdicate, but he actually gave the throne to the Wu family, how can this be worthy of the ancestral temple? You But the flesh and blood of Emperor Taizong..."

"But..." Li Zhenyuan was still a little hesitant, but what his princess said next made him make up his mind.

"Did your lord forget what happened to the king of Qi back then?" The king of Qi mentioned here by Princess Changsun of Yue is Li Tai who was praised and killed by the emperor Li Zhi when he was in power at the time.

Not to mention whether Li Tai's death was wronged or not, Li Tai's fate is still taken as a warning by all the vassal kings who are still alive.

The emperor's 'grace'...

Seeing that Li Zhen's expression was a little loose.

Changsun and Li Chong secretly exchanged a look.

"What A Niang said is true. Now that you are the only one among Taizong's sons, you are still alive, and you are the third prince, how can the Wu family not be afraid?" Li Chong said again: "The Wu family is narrow-minded, and they are not merciful to their own clan. How about me waiting?"

"In the past, when the Wu clan first came to the throne, there were many people who supported the Wu clan from all over the empire, so you and your uncles and uncles did not act rashly. Now..."

Speaking of this, Li Chong said excitedly: "Now there will be a catastrophe in the middle school, the emperor is critically ill, the Wu family must be anxious to control the clan, I'm afraid it will be bad for your uncle and father!"

Hearing this, Li Zhen became more and more silent.

Li Chong persisted and said: "Since the emperor moved to Zhongnan Mountain, the clan and veterans have long been dissatisfied, and the eleventh uncle has been in the center for a long time, so he will definitely not target indiscriminately, father..."

"I understand what you mean, but..." Li Zhen suddenly interrupted her son's words, stretched out her hand and grabbed the void, and said, "Do you think that as a father, you have never thought about fighting against martial arts?"

"What the Wu family can rely on is not only the popularity of the people in the country, but also military power, do you understand?"

"Do you think that we can compete with the imperial court with the guards of our vassal?!"

Li Chong was scolded by his father, and he was like an eggplant beaten by frost, but he still refused to admit defeat and muttered: "At the beginning, Taizong was taken away by King Xi for [-]% of his confidants. Hundreds of people will launch the Xuanwumen Change and seize the world!"

The "Xuanwu Gate Change" was probably the nightmare of all the emperors of the Tang Dynasty since Taizong.

At that time, the situation of Prince Jianjian was very good. Seeing that Li Shimin, the mortal enemy, had been pushed to the point where he had no soldiers, no generals, no generals, but he never thought that a guy like Li Er would choose to spread rumors to lure the enemy to fight to the death, and directly launched a palace change Cracked Jiancheng and Yuanji, and wiped out the princelings from the source!

"Gong Bian" is really the method of rebellion with the least cost, the highest success rate, and the greatest profit!

Li Zhen's heart skipped a beat.

Speaking of which, it would not be fanciful for the current situation to trigger a change of fortune.

Now the commander in the palace is no longer Wu Minzhi, Emperor Wu's confidant, but a junior of Li's clan. Since the surname is 'Li', then Li Zhen is sure to win over that person.Even if you can't persuade the other party to oppose martial arts, at least you can make the other party remain neutral and do nothing - just like Li Ji back then.

And his family's eleventh uncle Li Yuanli, as a Sangong, has been operating in Chang'an for many years, so he definitely won't lose any influence!

Since, Uncle Han Wang took the initiative to write this time, I am afraid that he is already prepared...

At this time, the Changsun family said again: "Your Majesty does not know something. According to my concubine's inquiries, there is still a shortage of the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guards in the Daming Palace, but the position of Deputy Commander is the grandson of the British Duke who intends to promote..."

The Changsun family is the sister of Changsun Quan, and she has good friends with both Sixteen Niangs and Twenty-one Niangs, so she is quite well informed about the news in both capitals and even the palace.

"You mean, the eldest son of the Li family?" Li Zhen couldn't help being startled when she heard the words, and immediately understood why his family's eleventh uncle was so anxious to fight against the martial arts!

Li Ji, that old fox, retreated as soon as he retired, and he didn't forget to push his grandson out!

This is the little fox that the old fox taught by hand!

That guy really knows how to choose people!

Li Chong listened to Changsun's words, but his face was filled with joy, and said: "Father, don't worry, if that person really chooses Mr. Li's family, then God will help us wait!"

"How do you say that?" Li Zhen had heard of this young man of the Li family, but Li Ji's old fox protected his precious grandson so well that outsiders hardly understood the temperament of this talented young man.

"My son has met with Mr. Li's family for a few times, and the conversation was very congenial, but judging by his words and deeds, his temperament is quite different from that of the Duke of England!" Li Chong replied after pondering for a while.

"Li Ji has always regarded himself as a pure minister, how could he allow his descendants to betray a saint!" Li Zhen said disapprovingly.

In his opinion, instead of making friends with the grandson of the old fox Li Ji, it would be better to spend some energy to inquire about the situation of another young man from the clan who will soon be the deputy commander!

"Father, isn't he worried that Mr. Li will obey Mr. Ying and turn to that one?" Li Chong couldn't help laughing, and said: "Li Dalang is quite rebellious, and he is in the East Palace, so he has no intention of submitting to that one!"

"You mean..." Li Zhen suddenly seemed to understand something, and looked at her son with piercing eyes.

Li Chong said with a smile: "As the mainstay of Li Tang's family, father should take it as his responsibility to restore the country!"

"Since the emperor has left, he should be enthroned in the East Palace. I believe that there will be no objections from civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty! The Li family has always respected the crown prince, and he is quite dissatisfied with the one who ascended the throne!"

"You're right!" Li Zhen said with a twisted beard, "It's just... I don't know what Donggong's attitude is..."

Many feudal lords don't know much about Prince Li Xian. The Prince of the East Palace is like a nerd who stays at home. Apart from presiding over a book compilation operation before, he has almost no outstanding performance in political affairs.

As for Prince Li Xian making friends with young talents from the two capitals outside of official business, he also kept a low profile.

So much so that most of the vassals thought that Dong Gong was a low-key and well-behaved person—just like the emperor back then.

Of course, after all, the East Palace has not settled in the Crown Princess, and more things in the backyard are beyond the knowledge of outsiders.

However, Yue Wang Li Zhen made up his mind at that moment.

If you have the excuse of the East Palace to raise troops or something, you will be more confident!

In June of the third year of Shenlong, Bingzhou, Yuzhou, Yuezhou and other places experienced droughts that were once in a century.

It was the month when Li Zhen, king of Yue, helped the coffin of the former emperor Yan Taifei into Beijing.However, Li Chong, the eldest son who was supposed to go to Beijing with Li Zhen, did not come to Chang'an to attend his grandmother's funeral on the grounds that he stayed in the domain to deal with the drought.

With the precedent of Li Chong, many vassal kings who were asked to go to Beijing also followed suit and found all kinds of excuses not to come to Chang'an. That's all.

================================== East Palace Dividing Line ================= ===============

Golden Palace.

"These people really can't sit still!" Li Xianzheng, dressed in the prince's uniform, was sitting at the head, holding a stack of letters in his hand, looking rather gloomy.

At this time, the two handsome men who were still sitting on the left and the right under the young man were Li Sanlang, the prime minister who stayed in Chang'an to preside over the overall situation, and Di Renjie, the minister of Dali Temple who had been valued by the queen in recent years.

It is not uncommon for the former to appear in the Golden Luan Hall, but Di Renjie was summoned privately by the prince for the first time. He was a little apprehensive at first, but when he heard that the prince had intercepted the evidence of the clan's rebellion, the future prime minister immediately became serious. stand up.

Before Di Renjie became the Minister of Dali Temple, he was the Chancellor of Dali Temple in Dali Temple, and he was in charge of prisons, so he was particularly sensitive to this kind of rebellion case.

Don't you see how many innocent people were involved in the "Princess Gaoyang Rebellion Case" back then?

Now the prince's 'evidence' is probably able to implicate all the vassal princes of Li Tang's clan!

"Prince, this matter is of great importance... Apart from these vague private letters, is there any other evidence?"

As soon as Di Renjie said this, the crown prince seated above immediately sank his face, and Li Xianggong sitting opposite him also looked at him with an intriguing look.

Di Renjie also knew that he was a little reckless, but he really doubted the authenticity of this matter.

Disappointment had already appeared in Li Xian's eyes, probably because he didn't understand why his mother valued the stunned young man in front of him so much.

At this time, Li Xiang said publicly: "Huaiying asked this question, which shows that he is cautious in dealing with things..."

"However, Huaiying knows that the sage has long intended to withdraw from the domain?"

Hearing this question, Di Renjie froze for a moment, then nodded.

He has a background in the study of scriptures and history, and he has a good understanding of the ins and outs of the Seven Kings Rebellion in the Western Han Dynasty!

When the emperor was in power before, the emperor was too tolerant towards his brothers and sisters. He gave a lot of land and food, and Di Renjie even gave a secret admonition for this.

With today's temperament, it will be a matter of time to withdraw the feudal clan, but this can't just be labeled a rebellion, right? !

Seeing Di Renjie's expression of disapproval, Li Xianggong couldn't help shaking his head - as expected, he still needs to practice, baby.

"Huaiying thinks that the clansmen are willing to wait for the saint to withdraw from the domain?"

"Of course not!" Without waiting for Di Renjie to reply, Li Sanlang said decisively: "Do you think that the sages have taken over the military power of the various vassals and reformed the military system, so those clans have nothing to do?"

"What do you think this is?!" Li Sanlang threw a letter in his hand on the couch in front of him.

"With the current temperament, there is no need to forge evidence and frame them."

Li Sanlang smiled coldly, and finally said: "If Huaiying doesn't believe it, you might as well wait and see!"

"You are the Minister of Dali Temple now, you can't bend the law for personal gain when judging treason!"

When Di Langjun heard this, his face blushed immediately, and he didn't know whether it was shame or annoyance.

"The humble official should deal with it impartially and live up to the expectations of a sage. You don't need to worry about it!" Although he didn't understand why Jin Shang promoted him suddenly, Di Renjie still deeply felt the kindness of Yu Yu.

As for the matter of Li Tang's clan, he is not an outsider who can talk about it!

"In that case, Di Qing, you should go down first." Although Li Xian doesn't like Di Renjie very much, he also knows that there is no one in Dali Temple who is more useful than Di Renjie. of!

After Di Renjie withdrew, Li Xian no longer put on the airs of the prince, and directly spoke to Li Sanlang angrily: "Why did brother make such a bad move?!" He was referring to Li Hong's decision to follow Wu Xu's dragon carriage from Zhong Nanshan Bieye returned to Luoyang to attract assassins.

When the news reached Chang'an, Yu Jia was probably already on his way back to Luoyang.

Even if he wanted to stop it, it was too late, damn it!
