Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2302 Li Er's pessimism

The waiter brought the tea and put it on the tea table beside Li Chengqian, and a maid with an exquisite figure and a beautiful appearance stepped forward to fill the teacup.

Li Chengqian was still seriously ill, and after going through a lot of fright, he was very thirsty, but he didn't dare to drink...

In front of His Majesty Li Er, he was always full of trepidation, lest he would be disgusted by his father if he behaved or said a little inappropriately.

I have to say that with such a wise and mighty father, the pressure on the successor's son is really too great...

His Majesty Li Er asked him what he thought of the adjustment of the important ministers of the central government, and he dared not say that he had any opinions even if he was killed.

but……

"My son is dull, and I have some doubts about Fang Junzhi's appointment, so I ask my father to clarify my doubts."

Li Chengqian said humbly.

"Oh? Why don't you understand, let's talk about it."

His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and smiled.

He likes such an attitude of blind obedience. As the crown prince and the ruler of the future empire, even if he cannot be decisive and decisive, he must have his own opinions and stick to them instead of listening to his ministers instigated.

Li Chengqian was thinking about what Fang Jun once said to him, so that when he had infinite admiration for His Majesty Li Er, he should also properly express the courage to dare to question the emperor, but this questioning should be properly placed in some irrelevant minutiae...

With a flash of thought, Li Chengqian said: "It is reasonable to say that although Fang Jun is young, he has made great achievements. The achievements he has made over the years are not inferior to those who founded the country. Even if he is promoted, no one in the world will be dissatisfied. However, his father thought that he was young, and he was afraid that there would be no seal or reward in the future, so he kept suppressing Fang Jun's official title, and even repeatedly demoted him because of some small mistakes. My son deeply agreed. This time, why did the emperor not only appoint Fang Jun as Minister of the Ministry of War, but also confer the post of Prince Taibao? In this way, Fang Jun can be regarded as an important minister of the court, with great power in his hands, and he is only one step away from ascending the court to pay homage to the prime minister Far away, this is contrary to the emperor's consistent thinking, and my son is puzzled..."

His Majesty Li Er has a strong personality and is uncompromising, but he has never been the kind of person who can't listen to advice.

Wei Zheng quarrels all day long, even a trivial matter can make a fuss and make him unable to get off the stage. He can still hold back his anger and express his magnanimity, but how can he not tolerate his son's doubts?

So instead of being angry, he was deeply relieved.

As the crown prince, you want to have your own opinions, not just follow what others say, even if you are facing your own father...

His Majesty Li Er was in a good mood, took a sip of tea, and ordered the servants nearby: "Order the imperial dining room to prepare dinner for today."

Then he said to Li Chengqian: "Stay here to eat with my father at night, let me have a good drink."

Li Chengqian's heart was touched, it seemed that since the funeral of the empress, he had never had a meal alone with his father...

"Here." Li Chengqian felt a surge in his chest, and there seemed to be moisture in his eyes, so he quickly responded.

His Majesty Li Er nodded slightly, and then said: "Father tried his best to suppress Fang Jun in the past, even if he made great achievements in Mobei, he still had to make mistakes and suppress him. Instead of rewarding him, he was resigned and demoted. If it wasn't for the father's lack of kindness, it was really a helpless move."

Li Chengqian said gratefully: "My son is saved, my father is to leave Fang Jun to my son's great use. If I add an official to the rank now, it will lead to no seal, how can my son be kind in the future to show the special situation?" ? But this has caused a lot of criticism for the father and the emperor, and the sons and ministers are terrified."

His Majesty Li Er said happily: "The crown prince can understand the good intentions of his father. Even if he bears some criticism for his father, what's the problem? For his father's foundation, the tens of thousands of miles of beautiful rivers and mountains will be entrusted to you. As long as you can keep it To live in this family business, I will do anything for my father."

"My son is terrified, I am afraid that I have failed my father's entrustment!"

Li Chengqian was terrified and hurriedly got up and bowed down.

His Majesty Li Er waved his hands helplessly: "There are only you and my father and son here, why are you so cautious? Open up and talk, it doesn't matter."

"Here."

Li Chengqian got up and sat back on the chair.

His Majesty Li Er frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "It's just that my father has discovered an indescribable atmosphere in Chang'an City recently. Some people keep making small moves in private and have ulterior motives. Normally, my father naturally doesn't care. It's just that the Eastern Expedition is imminent, and as a father, I will definitely go to the imperial conquest and leave you to supervise the country. At that time, Chang'an will be empty, and I'm afraid that these people will suddenly attack."

Li Chengqian hurriedly said: "Father, don't worry, my son is useless, but I think I can still guard the city of Chang'an, and there are Lu Guogong, Fang Jun and others who are loyal to take care of them. When the emperor is triumphant!"

Just kidding, my father, the imperial conquest, if he, the prince, can't even manage the country well, how can he still be qualified to continue to be the heir apparent?

His Majesty Li Er shook his head, disapproving of Li Chengqian's self-confidence, and said in a deep voice: "Duke Lu is getting older, and has gradually faded out of the core of the army. This time, You Wuwei under his banner will go to Liaodong with his father. He has no soldiers in his hands. Who listens to him? Fang Jun has You Tunwei in his hands, but no matter how outstanding his military exploits are, his qualifications are too far behind. Those who wait and see with the wind may not stand with him..."

Li Chengqian was startled.

Father said that Fang Jun dared to confront some people... Doesn't this already point out who Father was guarding against?

Could it be that he actually has the heart of treason?
It’s incredible!
No wonder my father changed his usual suppression this time. He not only granted Fang Jun the post of Minister of War, but also conferred the title of Crown Prince Taibao. This is to raise Fang Jun's status and express the emperor's attitude to the ruling and opposition parties——Fang Juncai He is a close minister of the emperor's strong and simple pull!

Li Chengqian's face turned pale, and he hesitated: "This...father, can't you?"

His Majesty Li Er sighed, and his tone was a little low: "Will it be... Who knows? Before some things happened, we didn't believe that he would happen. But when the event comes, no matter how unbelievable It is entirely possible for things to happen, sometimes, it is not a question of whether you want it or not, the current situation will push you forward, and you will never scruple your will. If you succeed, you will be king, and if you lose, you will be a bandit."

Back then, how could he have imagined the day when he would meet his brothers and sisters in battle?
The Xuanwu Sect won a complete victory, so why did he have the determination to kill brothers and sisters?

After shooting Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, how could he have the heart to kill all his brothers' offspring?
When he was in that vortex, the situation pushed him forward step by step, and he had to make that decision whether he wanted to or not.

If he wants to defy the times...

The only thing is to lose the army like a mountain, and pay an unbearable price for it.

If he hadn't launched the Xuanwumen Incident, he would have lost not only the throne, but also his life, as well as the lives of countless soldiers and generals in the Tiance Mansion under his command, and the lives of hundreds of people in the Qin Palace...

If Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji are not killed, he will not be able to sit on the position of emperor, and he will be overthrown sooner or later!

If Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's heirs are not punished, one day, the Xuanwumen will surely repeat itself, and at that time, it will be Li Er who will die!
What can he do?
Can only go step by step.

Li Chengqian saw His Majesty Li Er's eyes were cloudy and uncertain, and he knew that his father was thinking of the change of Xuanwumen that he regarded as the regret of his life, but created his brilliant life.

At this time, the royal father's emotions would become uncertain, Li Chengqian did not dare to express his anger, his eyebrows were pleasing to the eye, and he did not dare to speak out...

After a long time, His Majesty Li Er breathed out slowly, and sighed: "It is said that the Heavenly Family is ruthless. In such a state, what can be given up normally, may even be given up now, and what can be won normally, is now fought for with blood... This is the family of heaven. Or traffickers and pawns, who can give up the benefits? Since you can't give up, you can only get caught up in it and go with the flow."

Li Chengqian swallowed with difficulty.

The face that had just been washed clean was now drenched in cold sweat...

He finally understood that maybe tomorrow, there will be a bloody accident in the royal family, just like the Xuanwumen incident back then, whoever wants to survive must be ruthless!
People block and kill people, Buddhas block and kill Buddhas, even if they are brothers, even if they are comrades-in-arms!

Li Chengqian has only one thought at the moment, he wants to cry...

Father!
You commanded a million-strong army to conquer all sides, but you left your sons and ministers in Chang'an, facing such a cruel and dangerous situation?

Unkind wow...
