Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4054 The situation suddenly changed

Li Tai is naturally aware of his shortcomings, but he has always been conceited and doesn't bother to correct his mistakes.But now, after being reminded by Fang Jun, seeing Li Zhi beside him with a gentle and gentle appearance, he was immediately terrified. Right now is the most critical moment for Yi Chu. He and the pheasant slave will choose one of them... But in the end, who can seriously put the position of the supreme in the world and remain indifferent?

Originally, the pheasant slave was more favored by his father, and he was more likely to be established as the crown prince than him. Now the pheasant slave shows more of that kind of humility, gentleness and modesty. Wang is more popular.

This kid is really dangerous...

Seeing Wei Wang's elder brother's eyes were unfriendly, Li Zhi quickly squeezed out a smile, and complained to Fang Jun: "Brother-in-law really stabbed a knife, here is either older than this king, or is an important court official, how can this king speak?" For the sake of it? I can only listen carefully from the sidelines, and I have absolutely no bad intentions."

When he said it so bluntly, others felt embarrassed to think that he was pretending to be innocent...

Li Tai stroked his newly grown beard, waved his hands casually, and said carelessly: "Where did you start talking about the pheasant slave? Erlang was just joking, don't take it to heart, and I won't even think you're pretending Stupid and stunned, there is still such a little heart."

Reputation is very important if you want to become a crown prince. Prestige alone is not enough. You must also be seen as a broad-minded and magnanimous person, so that you don't just hold on to big things and hold grudges endlessly.

Well, to be a magnanimous prince, start now...

Fang Jun glanced at Li Zhi with a half-smile, but didn't intervene.

Looking at the court, I am afraid that few people can know more about how deep Li Zhi's scheming is and how strong his wrists are than him, a traveler. It may be just suspicion to others, but to Li Zhi, it is almost certain that he has good intentions. , The city is deep.

This point is very similar to the "yin man" eldest grandson Wuji...

*****
After the banquet, everyone drank tea for a while in the flower hall, talked and talked, and then they all left and went home.

Li Tai returned to Weiwang Mansion in Furong Garden, took a bath and drank hangover soup, the alcohol was gone, he was refreshed, seeing that the sky was completely dark, and it was the end of You and the beginning of Xu, and there was nothing left and right, so he was very excited. After changing her clothes, she came to the residence of a concubine.

The concubine was pleasantly surprised at first, and then used all her skills, various postures and various props, so that she could serve His Royal Highness King Wei like a fairy...

Hu Tianhu made a fuss, then stayed here and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day was bright, Li Tai got up to wash and did not leave, probably because he was very satisfied with his concubine's performance last night, so he stayed to have breakfast together, and saw the [-]-year-old concubine wrapping around him and talking softly Fragrant, little intention to flatter, that water onion-like figure still retains the charm of last night, it is ready to move, and plans to revisit the old place after dinner.

However, halfway through the breakfast, a servant came to report in a panic, saying that the father-in-law had arrived and was drinking tea in the hall, and the princess invited him to come...

Although he complained in his heart, blaming the concubine for her small belly, he just stayed here for one night and sent someone to invite him, so can he give himself a little space for the prince?But still didn't dare to neglect, quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks, got up and walked out.

The concubine's pretty face was full of resentment, but she didn't dare to say a word...

Although His Royal Highness the King of Wei is the most respected in Prince Wei's mansion, Princess Wei has to be the master of everything inside and outside, big and small. As long as Princess Wei says a word, even Her Royal Highness, who is as expensive as the King of Wei, has to obediently obey orders and dare not do anything. Not the slightest violation.She is just a concubine, not even a side concubine, she is like a pig and dog, she is killed casually and thrown into a mass grave outside the city, no one will say anything about it.

……

Li Tai hurried back to the main hall, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw the concubine sitting in the main seat with her father-in-law Yan Lide, and hurried inside to greet him: "I didn't know that my father-in-law came, so I was far away to welcome him, forgive me for my sin."

Yan Lide didn't dare to put his father-in-law's airs in front of the prince, so he immediately stood up and saluted: "I have something important to discuss, so I didn't report it in advance, please don't take offense, Your Highness."

Princess Wei stomped her feet and said angrily: "I can't wait to burn my eyebrows, you two are still being polite, you are so anxious!"

Li Tai was taken aback, and invited Yan Lide to take a seat, but Yan Lide didn't dare to take the main seat, so he let King Wei take the seat, and himself sat at the bottom.

He hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

He knew that his princess had always been scheming, and she was even more calm in times of crisis. She had always sat firmly on the Diaoyutai. It was rare to see such an anxious look before him, which showed that things were extraordinary.

Yan Lide said: "This morning, Liu Ji sent someone to inform the minister, saying that Li Xiyu, the Governor of Liangzhou, had sent His Majesty a request to take office, and at the same time advised His Majesty to think carefully and not to rush when changing storage, and mentioned Your Highness, you are rebellious, unruly and self-willed. Once you are in power, you will become arrogant, 'like Emperor Yang, not like a king', you cannot be the prince..."

Li Tai was stunned for a moment, his complexion changed drastically, he slapped the coffee table beside him fiercely, and cursed angrily: "Li Mao is really a villain, far-fetched, he really deserves to be killed!"

He can't help being angry.

Who is Li Xiyu?
This gentleman is from Ankang, Jinzhou. His ancestors were born in the Li family in Longxi, and he is of the same line as the Li and Tang royal families. According to the discussion, he should belong to the Guanlong lineage.But when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty died in the south of the Yangtze River, Yin Shishi assisted the acting king Yang You to stick to Chang'an, refused to listen to Li Xiyu's plan, and rushed to Jinyang in anger and turned to Gaozu Li Yuan. No contacts.

His elder brother Li Xizhi surrendered to Xiao Xian, and later joined Datang under the help of Li Xiyu. In the fourth year of Wude, Li Xizhi and Li Xiyu brothers instigated more than [-] prefectures and counties in the south of Lingnan to join Datang. Later, when it was completely destroyed, the great ancestor Li Yuan appointed Li Xiaogong, the ambassador of Jiangnan Road and the king of Zhao County, to appoint Li Xizhi as the governor of Guizhou.

During the "Xuanwu Gate Change", the two brothers, one in the south of the Yangtze River and the other in Longxi, tried their best to suppress the local forces, so that His Majesty Li Er was able to appease the world smoothly. .

Such a person said that Li Tai was "like Emperor Yangdi, not like a king", not only would leave an impression of fear and suspicion in the heart of His Majesty Li Er, but also told His Majesty Li Er that Jiangnan, The two places in Longxi refused to accept King Wei as the heir...

This was a fatal blow to Li Tai!

In the change of imperial power, the most important thing is not how to continue the national policy, not how to forge ahead and go further, but the stability of the world!

Stability is the foundation of everything.

At that time, the people in the world were not convinced that a certain prince was appointed as the crown prince. Once this prince became the crown prince, it would cause turmoil in various places and people's hearts would fluctuate. Which emperor could go his own way regardless of his will?
Unexpectedly, Li Tai's anger was a little early, and Yan Lide hadn't finished talking...

Yan Lide was stunned by Li Tai's fury, and then he said in embarrassment: "...Except for Li Xiyu, there are also many censors who hold this argument, thinking that His Highness is lazy and talented, which may not be true. He is the wise king of the prosperous age, and now many speech officials have started to go to school one after another."

Li Tai's face became even darker, most of the censors in the court hall were Xiao Yu's subordinates...

No matter how conceited he is, he will inevitably panic at this moment, looking at the princess and asking: "What should I do?"

He kept saying that he would not fight for the reserve, and he really gave up on it at the beginning, and wanted to devote himself wholeheartedly to the education of Datang, and achieve a good reputation through the ages.But now that the father is determined to be the crown prince, he and Li Zhi are the most likely to succeed him as the crown prince. His heart that has dried up is inevitably ready to move.

Born of covetousness, with a mind of gains and losses, it is naturally difficult to maintain a normal mind in the face of criticism. The reason why he loves and respects his princess is that the princess is always calm and can often make the right choices at critical moments to ensure maximum profit.

Princess Yan sighed, and said softly: "His Royal Highness now has no prestige, but no team. It seems that at such a time of life and death, who will fight for His Highness, regardless of gains and losses? No matter how high the prestige is, if there is no team that can match it. Supporting it is nothing but a castle in the air, a mirror in the sky, not only useless to the gods, but also a big tree that attracts the wind and carries a jade, which attracts criticism and slander from the humble people, and it will easily be overthrown, and it will never be restored."

Yan Lide at the side stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly, very pleased.

Although this daughter of my family is not a man, she is extremely intelligent, not only understands the truth, but also is decisive.

Li Tai was so anxious that he slapped his thigh straight: "These kings naturally understand. At this time, the princess has an idea for this king. What should I do?"

Once Li Xiyu and his ilk spread, it will deal a huge blow to him. It will not only affect his father's decision, but also attract more people to flock to impeach him, which will directly shake his prestige and status. .

Princess Yan was sitting upright, her dignified face was not at all anxious, she thought about it carefully, and said slowly: "His Royal Highness's immediate priority is to bring Fang Jun and the officials of the Eastern Palace over."

Li Tai was taken aback, then shook his head and said, "How difficult is it? These people are loyal to the crown prince. This king has long wanted to win them over for his own use, but he has been unable to find a way. There is nothing he can do."

Most of the officials in the Eastern Palace were arranged by the emperor when the crown prince was canonized. After so many years, they have already been tied to the interests of the Eastern Palace.If you follow the prince all the time, if the prince is abolished in the future, everyone will get the reputation of "consistent with one and die", and your official career may not be cut off, but if you "choose a good tree to live in" halfway, you will be regarded as a "second minister" by the world , reputation ruined, official career hopeless.

At the beginning, he had not wavered in the face of the dozens of times the Guanlong army's fierce attack, and had always supported the prince unswervingly. How could he turn to his own command at this time?
The concubine concealed that she was holding the pearl of wisdom, her eyes were clear and her face was radiant, and she said word by word: "It's very simple, Your Highness just needs to make an oath, no matter what in the future, he will definitely treat the prince and his children kindly, and never owe him!"

　The neighborhood is closed again...
