Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4059 politely refused
Fang Jun shook his head and said, "Your Majesty may not think so."

No matter how confusing everything is, there is one most accurate determination - whoever benefits the most will be the most suspected.

The king of Wei was impeached and attacked, and rumors spread everywhere. The beneficiaries were not only the opponent Jin Wang who was fighting for the crown prince, but also Li Chengqian, who was still the crown prince at the moment.

Holding the teacup in his hand, Li Chengqian sighed: "The pheasant slave is really clever. The bitter trick made both the orphan and the blue bird fall into suspicion. There will definitely be a gap in Father's heart. It doesn't matter if you are lonely, Father's left and right will be easy to store, I'm just a little worried about Qingque."

Judging from the skills shown by King Jin, it can be described as insidious and vicious, pointing directly at the vital point. The battle with King Wei for the reserve continues, and it is uncertain what kind of conspiracy King Wei will encounter.

This made him very uncomfortable. The younger brother who used to be pure, filial, intelligent, young and shy, became a vicious political figure just because he got involved in the battle for the reserve position...

Fang Jun poured out the warm tea in the pot, refilled it with boiled water, poured tea for Li Chengqian, and said: "This matter started from Li Xiyu, and the imperial historian intervened immediately, with a mighty momentum, not the King of Jin Presumably, some people in the court have already taken refuge in King Jin and supported King Jin in his fight for heir. Although they have joined forces to suppress King Wei, they may turn their swords against His Highness, and the situation is a bit dangerous."

Li Chengqian was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The left and right are just being abolished, so what is there to worry about? As long as the father does not have a cruel heart, no matter who wins the throne, Qingque or Pheasant will not embarrass the abandoned prince." .”

He is very confident in the relationship between the brothers, and he also believes in the character of the two brothers.

Even through the ages, the political situation has never been based on the will of a certain person. Under the mighty general trend, even the emperor can only follow the trend sometimes. Who can care about whose life and death...

Fang Jun shook his head. His Highness the Crown Prince didn't know whether he was really innocent or helpless. He had to hope that his brothers would be grateful for the brotherhood, and that he would not kill him after he ascended the throne in the future.

However, Fang Jun came across and saw the history with his own eyes. Li Zhi’s face is pure and harmless to humans and animals, but his methods are definitely not kind. Since he can marry his father’s concubine, what can’t be done? ...

After sitting for a while, the Crown Princess sent someone to find the Crown Prince to discuss matters, and Fang Jun left silently.

After exiting Daci'en Temple, head north from Daye and Anshan Squares, pass Pingkang Square and Chunmingmen Street, and return to Chongren Square.

As soon as I got off the car outside the gate of the mansion, I saw a long car waiting in front of the gate. The steward Lu Cheng was hurrying out. He happened to meet Fang Jun and hurried forward and said, "His Royal Highness Wei Wang came to the mansion to pay a visit. The servant girl is thinking about finding Erlang is back."

Fang Jun nodded, walked up the steps unhurriedly, entered the mansion through the side door, and walked towards the main hall, thinking in his heart that there are all kinds of turmoil in the government and the opposition, and many spearheads are aimed at King Wei. Fang's Lai as a guest?

I'm afraid the visitor is not good...

When I came to the main hall, I saw King Wei sitting in the main seat, Princess Gaoyang sitting next to the prime minister, and the two brothers and sisters talked and laughed happily.

Fang Jun stepped forward to pay respects, Princess Gao Yang got up and said: "Little sister is going to arrange a banquet, brother must stay for a few drinks at noon."

Li Tai smiled and said: "That's exactly what it should be, please trouble my sister."

Princess Gao Yang smiled sweetly, glanced at Fang Jun's face with her beautiful eyes, turned around and left gracefully, with a slender body and a ring around her.

Fang Jun's heart skipped a beat when she saw her, and he knew that Li Tai must go to the Three Treasures Hall today, so he was a little more careful, and asked with a smile: "I just accompanied the prince to enter the Daci'en Temple, and I heard that the government and the public are impeaching him today. The voices criticizing His Highness are raging like a tide, thinking that His Highness should be sitting on pins and needles, unable to eat, but don't think that he still has the heart to come to the humble house, it's quite surprising."

Li Tai smiled wryly, rubbed his face, and knew that it was best not to beat around the bush in front of a smart person like Fang Jun, otherwise he might be led astray...

So he cut straight to the point and asked bluntly, "Erlang, tell the truth from your heart, how does our friendship compare to that of the prince?"

When Fang Jun heard this, he smiled wryly.

I'm really afraid of what's coming...

After a little deliberation, he said slowly: "I know what your Highness wants to say. But please forgive me, Your Highness, standing on the side of the prince is not only a personal relationship, but also the general trend. I can give up my glory Wealth and power are great, but you can’t just sit back and watch the rules and regulations be turned upside down and the family’s ancestry fall, that will cause the succession of the throne from now on to be accompanied by bloody storms, and the national power that was once strong will eventually be consumed in endless civil strife.”

He has a better personal relationship with Li Tai, but this is not enough to make him give up his political ideals.

Li Tai naturally refused to give up easily, leaning his upper body slightly towards Fang Jun, and said in a loud voice: "Then I will swear to the sky to give you a guarantee. If you achieve the position of reserve, no matter now or in the future, you will surely I will treat the crown prince and the family members of the East Palace kindly! Only this king can give such a promise, look at how the pheasant slave suppresses and oppresses me now, let him become the crown prince, neither the crown prince nor I can live!"

In fact, he has always believed that his greatest advantage at present is his courage to promise to treat the prince well, and all parties will believe it.

At least it is more convincing than Li Zhi who showed his insidious means...

Fang Jun pondered for a while, thinking about how to reject Li Tai.

Does he believe in Li Tai's character?Believe it or not.

At least until now, he can be sure that Li Tai must not have the idea of ​​poisoning the prince after ascending the throne, and even Li Zhi, he can be tolerant.

But what about after sitting in that position?
No one can guarantee.

The most extreme power in the world brings the greatest crisis in the world. As the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, holding the sun and the moon and holding the constitution in his mouth, he is always full of a sense of crisis.Imperial power is the most poisonous poison. It can kill people or themselves. No one can resist its temptation. Everyone will do everything in order to firmly control the imperial power.

"There are always people who want to harm me" is not just a joke, it is the psychology of every emperor at all times...

As for the idea of ​​switching to Wei Wang's sect now and trying to save the prince's life after assisting Wei Wang to ascend the throne, it is even more stupid.

The imperial power is supremacy, and any moment is enough to form a monstrous wave. Being in the court is naturally engulfed in it, and you can't help yourself.When the interests of oneself, those around you, and subordinates have been integrated with the imperial power, how can there be any ability to maintain the original bottom line?

Just go with the flow.

However, in the face of Li Tai's longing eyes, he couldn't bear to say the words of rejection after all. After considering for a while, he sighed and said: "It's too early to say those things. Your Highness should think about how to deal with the current predicament. Be careful, King Jin will be recognized by His Majesty, if His Majesty already favors King Jin in his heart, what's the use of His Highness making a fuss?"

His Majesty Li Er's stubbornness is well known throughout the world, as long as he believes in whoever is the reserve in his heart, nine bulls will not be able to pull him back.

Li Tai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He was most afraid that Fang Jun would categorically refuse, leaving no room for turning things around. Since Fang Jun didn't say anything to death, it meant that he might take refuge with him as the situation changed.

As long as there's hope, it's worth fighting for...

Li Tai stared at Fang Jun with burning eyes and asked, "If the king persuades the prince, how will Erlang make a decision?"

Fang Jun was silent.

With Li Chengqian's current state of mind, if Li Tai swears to him that he will treat him kindly after he ascends the throne, Li Chengqian will support Li Tai unreservedly and throw all the officials of the East Palace away...

But in this way, if the two elder brothers crush Li Zhi with strength, what will His Majesty Li Er think?
I am afraid that no matter how His Majesty Li Er decides to kill and attack, once such a situation arises, he will inevitably weigh up and down, and it will be difficult to make a decision.

However, in fact, this situation was provoked by His Majesty Li Er, and then he was afraid that his sons would kill their brothers after they ascended the throne...

It's really standing up and down again.

Fang Jun said in a deep voice: "If Your Highness still has half the idea of ​​fighting for the heir, please don't think about it again, and compete with King Jin fairly and justly, no matter the winner or loser, at least there will be no accidents before His Majesty's funeral. But if the powerful unite and the strong bully the weak, how do you think His Majesty will react?"

Li Tai's complexion changed, and after pondering, he smiled wryly: "If in the past, this king knew my father very well, maybe I would have called this king over and scolded me bloody. But now...to be honest, this king can't guess at all. See through my father's thoughts."

The two fell silent.

It's not just that Li Tai can't figure out His Majesty Li Er's thoughts?No one knew what His Majesty Li Er thought.

Yi Chu's heart is as firm as an iron stone, this matter is imperative, and no one will listen to his advice.But at the same time, he was also worried that Yi Chu's sons would kill each other because of the imperial power dispute, and the brothers would fight against each other, and the blood would kill each other... This matter of Yi Chu was completely contradictory. If he wanted his sons to live in peace, he recognized Li Chengqian's prince With Li Chengqian's temperament, there is no need to embarrass a few brothers in the future; but once the reserve is easy, no matter who ascends the throne, it is inevitable that "the name is not right and the word is not right", which violates the law of Zongzheng's succession. Inevitably.

Otherwise, why would His Majesty Li Er kill Prince Jiancheng and Qi Wang Yuanji in the Xuanwu Gate, and why would he wantonly kill their heirs and family members, and bear the infamy for the rest of his life?
Cutting the weeds without removing the roots will cause future troubles.

After a pause, Li Tai said: "But now the rumors are raging and the public opinion is divided, and this king has no power to fight back. Should we let them slander in the dark?"

Fang Jun smiled and said: "This matter is simple. The so-called untie the bell requires the person who tied the bell. Sometimes when encountering problems, you can go straight to the root and directly point to the root cause. No matter how difficult things are, they can be easily solved."

Li Tai was stunned at first, then his expression changed, and he said with great joy: "Erlang is worthy of my son's house!"

Fang Jun smiled wryly, are you comparing yourself to the traitor Cao Mengde, a corporal, a great talent, or are you praising me as a king like Xun Yu?

But neither of them is suitable...
