Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2613
A long time after the prince left, Li Zhi was still sitting in the hall, his face was cloudy and cloudy, and his heart was full of thoughts.

He admitted that there was some truth in what the prince said, but he didn't fully agree with it.

For example, when the Xuanwu Sect changed, the crown prince said that the generals of the Tiance Mansion coerced his father, so that even if he didn't want to, he had to take the road of killing brothers and brothers and taking it against him... However, this incident The point of the matter is, is the father really unwilling?
Taking a step back to exterminate the whole family and smashing his body to pieces, and stepping up to ascend the throne as the emperor and honor the world forever, Li Zhi believes that as long as he is a rational person, he will know how to choose.

Father Huangxiong has a general talent, so how can he be willing to tie his hands and sit and wait for death?
Rather than saying that the generals of the Tiance Mansion coerced the father, it would be better to say that it was because of the team of the Tiance Mansion that the father dared to fight back, put him to death and survived.

Li Zhi firmly believes that under the seemingly open-minded and rough image of his father, there is a keen and calculating ambition, and everything is under his control. Only he wants to do it or not. Coerce this kind of thing.

That is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, the position of emperor, even if it is coerced, I am afraid that many people will flock to it, right?
As for the so-called coercion by powerful officials after the event, even as an emperor, he can't help himself, Li Zhi sneered even more.

Only a blunt person like the prince who is full of benevolence and morality can say such stupid words. As an emperor with the constitution of heaven in his mouth, no matter how arrogant and domineering the powerful officials are, there are still a hundred ways to deal with them, carefully planning Any purpose below can be achieved in a tactful way, can it only be head-to-head, either you die or I die?
The emperor's power comes from the stability of the government, and the stability of the government lies in the checks and balances of power. Although Li Zhi is young, he has definitely read a lot of books. He regards this principle as a standard and deeply believes it.In his opinion, even if the new emperor's accession to the throne has to be controlled by powerful ministers, he must not just accept it blindly. In the future, he will rely on the Guanlong nobles to take the throne, so the Guanlong nobles must have seized huge power in the process, which is enough to restrict the imperial power. Then it would be enough to support another force to compete with the Guanlong nobles.

Regardless of whether the Shandong aristocratic family or the Jiangnan gentry, their own energy is definitely not much smaller than that of the Guanlong nobles. They only need to give some policy support, and a new round of checks and balances can be achieved in a blink of an eye.

When the various forces in the court check each other, the emperor who sits in the middle will have the right to judge and hold the court firmly in the palm of his hand...

Li Zhi was even less concerned about the issue of brotherhood that the prince was worried about.

Just like his father back then, if he really didn't want to, no one could force him to kill his brothers and brothers, and force the late emperor to abdicate.
Li Zhi is full of respect and affection for his elder brothers. Apart from thinking that he will do better than the prince, his original intention of fighting for the crown prince is also a little selfish. After all, he has the opportunity to fight for the supreme prince. Who would be indifferent to the throne?

But all of this will definitely not be based on the ending of killing siblings. If the situation really develops to that day, he would rather commit suicide to thank the world, and he will never raise the butcher knife to his brother.

The usurpers of all dynasties would slaughter enough to ensure the stability of the rule, but Li Zhi didn't bother to do it.

His father, Emperor Xuanwu, killed his brothers and killed his brothers, and achieved a great ambition to dominate the world, but until today, he was still attacked and slandered by the people of the world, and his reputation was tarnished. After thousands of years, he would still be infamous and often shut himself in the palace. Confession and remorse, after all, killing one's brother is not killing chickens and dogs, the guilt and remorse in my heart can hardly be cleared in a lifetime.

Li Zhi wanted to be an emperor, but he didn't want to be an emperor with a bad reputation and a troubled conscience.

Footsteps sounded behind him, rings jingled, a gust of fragrant wind hit, a soft and delicate body leaned on his shoulders, and his gentle voice was full of joy: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has finally pardoned you!"

Li Zhi raised his head, looked at his concubine's pretty face full of surprises, and smiled, and said warmly: "It's also thanks to the elder brother of the prince, otherwise the father will not know when he will be able to make up his mind to pardon me. These days, you have suffered a lot." .”

A concubine daughter of the Wang family in Taiyuan, a true lady of the family, but she had to be imprisoned with him in this palace without leaving home, facing the world above her head all day, like a bird in a cage, the sadness in it Suffering is naturally hard to describe.

Princess Jin embraced Li Zhi's arm, with a joyful look on her face, and said softly: "This is a great joy. From now on, His Royal Highness will spread his wings and fly high, and the whole world will celebrate together! This concubine will send someone back to her mother's house." Let them know and let them come to the palace to celebrate!"

Li Zhi thought for a while, and said: "Why bother Yue Zhang to come in person? After the king enters the palace to thank you, choose an auspicious day, and let's go to the mansion to pay a visit to Yue Zhang in person."

Speaking of which, the Wang family of Taiyuan was indeed very unlucky. Marrying him at the beginning was not necessarily because he was optimistic about his participation in the battle for the heir, but more because he hoped to use him, the most favored prince of His Majesty Li Er, to make the prince who was repeatedly suppressed by the Guanlong nobles The family got a little respite, and the children could make a difference in the court.

As a result, he just got married and didn't get any benefits, so he was imprisoned by his father. Not only did he not get any benefits, but he was suppressed to a certain extent because of this. It can be said that he lost his wife and lost his army. decay to the extreme...

However, Li Zhi went to the Wang family not out of sympathy. Marriage in the officialdom is not about who looks at who's face or who accepts whose favor. If you can't see the current situation clearly, you have no one to blame, let alone sympathy.

Now that he escaped from birth and got the opportunity to compete for the reserve position, it means that the Wang family has jumped out of the trough, and this marriage has finally paid off.

Of course, they also have to contribute to help Li Zhi fight for the reserve position...

Princess Jin became more and more delighted. Of course, she knew that the current King Jin was soaring into the sky, becoming the second only to the prince among the emperor's many princes, and having the power to compete for the reserve position that the emperor tacitly approved, which also made her The status rises with the tide.

Even though she didn't dare to publicize it outside, but within the Wang family, no one could ignore her status.

There is no woman who does not love vanity, the difference is only in the degree of difference, Princess Jin thought that the whole family will be respectful to her, and those aunts and sisters-in-law who were at odds with her in the past all bowed their eyebrows in front of her to please her in every possible way. The mood is like a flower in full bloom.

Li Zhi stood up, gently patted Princess Jin's white slender hand, and said vigorously: "Serve me to take a bath and change clothes, I will enter the palace to thank you."

"Here!"

Concubine Jin's eyebrows were smiling, her eyes were rolling, and her voice was so sweet that it could overflow with honey.

Power and status have always been the greatest charm of a man. It can stimulate the deepest level of hormones in a man, and exude an intoxicating aura. Give and take.

Therefore, throughout the ages, power, status, and wealth have been the most rigid backbone of a man. If you choose one of the three, you can have a happy family, and if you have two of the three, you can do whatever you want. A man who has all three is the so-called "walking hormone". Countless women flocked to her like moths to a flame, and went on and on.

And love is great, but in the face of day-to-day honing, it becomes sharper like a blade, then gradually becomes thinner, and finally sinks into the secular world.

Therefore, for a man, power, status, and wealth are the real foundation, and only with these can he have love.

Otherwise, nothing.

*****
The city of Chang'an has not yet felt the chill of autumn. The huge city is full of people scurrying around like ants, bringing a sweltering heat wave. In addition, the weather has been sunny and sunny for several consecutive days. The entire Guanzhong is under the majesty of the autumn tiger. The Jiucheng Palace on the mountain is another completely different scene.

The east is a white belly, the sun has not yet risen, the whole mountain is full of birds chirping, springs gurgling, white mist rises slowly from the valleys and gullies, slowly diffuses, enveloping the mountain palaces, and the mist surrounds it like a fairyland.

Fang Jun broke free from Princess Gaoyang's entangled limbs, put on his clothes lightly, leaned over and kissed gently on the beautiful and fragrant baby-like face, and then walked out of the bedroom.

Princess Gao Yang on the bed seemed to be sleeping soundly and peacefully, but at this moment her long eyelashes blinked, her eyes were not opened, but she showed a satisfied and happy smile.
