Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2827 Historical Trend
The cold wind is howling, and the chill is soaking people.

Li Tai tightened the cloak he was wearing, stepped out of the mansion and boarded the carriage, lifted the curtain and glanced at the still brightly lit main entrance of Fang's house, saw Fang Jun clasped his fists at him on the steps, and nodded slightly Regards, lower the curtains.

It was pitch black inside.

The cold wind howled past outside the car, but Li Tai's heart was churning endlessly like boiling water.

It was only today that he suddenly realized that the struggle for reserves that he had been avoiding all along was actually unavoidable.Once the crown prince loses power and the childish slave seizes it against him, even with the permission of the emperor, it will be unfair in the final analysis, and people in the world will inevitably slander and refuse to accept it.

Maybe when Zhinu was the crown prince, he could still love his brothers and be harmonious with the royal family, but when he became the emperor in the future, this may not be the case.

In the affairs of the world, the most important thing is a name and righteousness. A young slave who is superior to his elder brother as a younger brother is promoted to the emperor. It is impossible to convince people's hearts.And the only way to preserve the throne and suppress opposition is to eradicate all those who might threaten the throne.

Including the prince, including him Li Tai, even Li Ke who was far away in Silla was not spared.

Perhaps Zhinu can always think of brotherhood and cannot bear to slaughter his brothers, but will the people around him let him go his own way, leaving so many people who are qualified to compete for the throne?

Just think about the viciousness of the eldest grandson Wuji. Once the young slave ascends the throne, this person will definitely wield a butcher's knife and start killing. It will be a disaster for the royal family.

And the childish nature of the slave became the source of Li Tai's worries.

Although this child is clever and clever, he is always very friendly to his brother, but he never confronts him head-on when he encounters difficulties, but finds a new way in a roundabout way.

Besides, even if he was willing to turn his back on him, he might not be able to do anything to Changsun Wuji.

Since he can single-handedly support the young slave to rise to power, then Changsun Wuji must seize all the power when he succeeds. With the court and the army in his hands, why should the young slave resist?

Since he couldn't resist, with the mind of a childish slave, he would probably just bear with it, watching his brothers and sisters be slaughtered, and wait for the opportunity to move them when Changsun Wuji was satisfied.

Maybe he wouldn't even bear the infamy of a "slaughter hero", but launched some pawns to fight against Zhangsun Wuji. dignified and serene", "generous and benevolent", "harmonious brothers"...

……

The carriage wandered back to the mansion, Li Tai locked himself in the study after taking a bath, drank tea and thought about the future, and stayed up all night.

When the rooster crowed and the dawn was about to break, he ordered someone to prepare breakfast and ate some hastily, then changed his clothes and left the palace to meet the emperor at the Tai Chi Palace.

*****
One morning, Fang Jun woke up with a splitting headache.

Although the wine of this year is not blended with alcohol, the alcohol content after distillation can reach about [-] degrees. Drinking it like last night, the body really can't bear it.

Sitting up from the kang, a commotion was heard outside, Princess Gao Yang opened the curtain, saw Fang Jun woke up, and hurriedly said: "The temperature of the ginseng soup is just right, I'll bring it to you."

Then the door curtain was lowered, there was a rustling of footsteps, as if whispering something to the maid, and then the door curtain was lifted again and walked in, holding a large white porcelain bowl in his hand, the ginseng soup with red dates and goji berries in it was steaming .

Princess Gaoyang is wearing a crimson dress, which makes her skin whiter than snow. Her hair is full of black hair and her hair is casually tied up in a bun. She wears a wide jade belt around her waist, which narrows her waist, giving her a very pure and charming look. Her demeanor is more like an ordinary young woman from a rich family.

Walking to the edge of the Kang, he sat down with his body tilted, handed the bowl in front of Fang Jun, and said softly with his brows and eyes softly: "Drink it while it's hot, isn't it uncomfortable?"

Fang Jun took the ginseng soup, took a sip and tried it, and found that the temperature was just right, so he drank it up in a few sips.The warm ginseng soup nourished the intestines and stomach, and the real body suddenly became alive. He rubbed his swollen temples and sighed: "My head hurts."

"You man!"

Princess Gao Yang took the bowl and put it aside, kicked off her shoes, moved her slender feet in snow-white socks to the kang, sat sideways behind Fang Jun, and lay on her lap with his shoulders, a pair of soft clothes caressed him Gently pressing his temples, he complained: "After all, he is a high-ranking person, and he is not young. How can you drink like that? You foolish boy who thought he was fifteen or sixteen years old! Look!" See, it’s not me who suffers afterwards.”

Fang Jun lay comfortably on his wife's push, closed his eyes and enjoyed the gentle massage, and said casually: "You don't know the situation at that time, how can I drink? It's just that you can't drink."

"Hmph! Why don't I know? It's not just to fight against the childish slave!"

Princess Gao Yang said angrily, paused, and said softly: "In the final analysis, the young slave is also our brother, and he is actually the same as His Highness the Crown Prince. It's fine for you to fight all the time, and you must not lose the bottom line. Don't go to extremes, that will not only hurt the brotherhood, but also the father will be annoyed."

For Li Zhi, the younger brother, the brothers and sisters still dote on him very much, and they don't want to see him being aggressive and embarrassed by Fang Jun...

Fang Jun opened his eyes and took a look. Seeing his wife's worried face, he comforted him: "It looks fierce, but it's just a show. Who can take him seriously? Besides, King Wei is present, so he will naturally protect him." with him."

Princess Gao Yang sighed softly, and said bitterly: "You men, you always pretend to be the family and the world in your heart, and you are constantly fighting for power. Sometimes you don't even care about blood and family. I really don't know what you think. Is the throne really true? Is it so important that it can make people fight each other and fight each other?"

Fang Jun was silent for a moment, then closed his eyes again, before he said slowly, "Perhaps who is the emperor is not important to us, but you haven't seen the far-reaching impact on the court situation and the structure of the empire. If Wang Duo is successful, the whole Guanlong will flourish, and the disaster of the family will last for several generations. Even if the king of Jin will be able to suppress Guanlong, the effort and price will be unimaginable. Even It can affect the political structure of the Tang Dynasty, causing the center to lose military power, making the branches weak and strong, and planting the root of the country's subjugation..."

His tone was speculation, but he knew that once Li Zhi came to power, all of this would become a reality.

In the process of supporting Li Zhi, Guan Long seized enough power. The most important thing was to firmly hold the military power of Datang in his hands. The plan to weaken and suppress Guan Long has not been fully successful.

After that, it can be said that the entire empire's army has been out of the emperor's control. Even after the three dynasties of Gaozong, Wuhou, and Xuanzong, they could not be fully recovered due to the deep malpractice.

The final result is that the military power travels outside the center, the branches are weak and the branches are strong, and the border towns grow stronger.

The reason why the "Anshi Rebellion" destroyed the prosperous and prosperous Tang Dynasty as soon as it broke out, and laid the root cause of the country's subjugation in one fell swoop, was because the military power was left behind, and the central government could only watch helplessly. , but helpless.

In any era, military power is the most important thing. Once military power cannot be controlled by the center, the day of national subjugation will not be far away.

This was the case in the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, and the Ming and Qing Dynasties...

Fang Jun sighed softly, and said: "The so-called battle for the reserve position, the husband does not care about his own power and glory, let alone safeguarding the interests of the family, but for the existence and development of the empire for a longer period of time. I don't want to see this The prosperous and prosperous age is just a strong outsider, and the slightest turmoil will overturn the country and the country will be hard to protect. In fact, people with insight in the court can see the consequences of the success of King Jin's success in seizing the heir. It's just that some people only care about the interests of the family and the family. It's just seeing a crown prince who can continue His Majesty's policy of governing the country. It's a pity, the crisis that the ministers can see, but His Majesty alone can't see it, or, His Majesty clearly saw it, but he is unwilling to face it."

This is what puzzled him the most.

With His Majesty Li Er's great talent and general strategy, how could it be possible not to see the danger of Guan Long regaining military power once King Jin ascends the throne?
But this ancient sage just turned a blind eye, and wanted to dethrone the crown prince and replace him with the king of Jin...

In fact, not only he does not understand, many people do not understand.

Including Li Tai.

He stood outside the Chengtian Gate, raised his head and looked at the majestic city gate and tower, waiting for his father to summon him, wanting to express his feelings directly, even offending Tianyan...
