Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4073 Change the elbow and armpit
Yan said with a smile: "It's nothing more than the words 'filial piety' and 'ti'."

Li Tai thought for a while, and deeply agreed.

Everyone knows that the road to the father's ascension to the throne is to step on the corpses of his brothers. Although the "Xuanwumen Incident" was successfully reversed and usurped, the killing of brothers and brothers is indelible, which not only makes the people full of criticism and ridicule for his superiority, Even the emperor himself has been deeply troubled by this matter for many years, and often cannot sleep at night.

And who is born cold-blooded and ruthless, who can still feel at ease and feel complacent after killing his own siblings and massacring them all over the family?
I will always be tortured by my conscience, but it's just that the situation at the time, either you die or I die, so I have to kill as a last resort.

Because of this, the father has always paid attention to the teaching of "brothers and brothers respect" to the princes, hoping that his children will not kill each other and fight against each other because of the throne in the future.Although the loser will die and slaughter his family, the winner will also be condemned by his conscience and questioned by the outside world, leaving his infamy forever.

The emperor had long believed that the prince could not become the master of a generation, and could not lead the Tang Dynasty from one glory to another, so why has he been unable to make up his mind to be easy to save?
It is precisely because although the prince is weak in character and lacks independent opinions, he is honest and kind, treats all brothers with grace, loves each other...

It can be seen that the first condition for the father to choose a new crown prince must be who can treat his brothers and sisters well after succeeding to the throne, instead of cutting off a group of brothers who threaten the throne as soon as he ascends to power.

The main factor that determines whether a brother can be treated well is not only whether his temperament is kind and friendly, but also how threatened he is after he succeeds to the throne.

The greater the threat to the throne, the more thunderous means must be used to minimize the error tolerance rate.

If the succession to the throne can be justified, it will be difficult for the brothers to threaten the throne, no matter how ruthless they are, they will let the brothers go...

Li Tai's spirit was lifted, he took Yan's slender hand, and praised: "My beloved concubine is indeed my ovary!"

Yan Shi pursed her lips and smiled, held Li Tai's palm instead, and said softly: "The position of the crown prince is not the property of the monarch. If I get it, I will lose my life. Your Highness should treat it with a normal heart. With King Wu It was the first of its kind to establish a country and set up a vassal. At worst, our husband and wife took the children to find a foreign land, which can also be called a king, establish a country, and spread branches and leaves. Why bother with the Tang throne? Bloody storms, intrigues, and a little carelessness It is not the work of the wise to bring about the disaster of killing one's body."

Li Tai shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, this king knows it well."

The truth is there, as long as you are not mentally retarded, anyone can understand it.

However, understanding and accepting are completely different. Now that the crown prince is abolished, it is a foregone conclusion. As the second son of the heirloom, he is only one step away from that position. , how to feel at ease?

Husband and wife share the same bed, so they have the same mind, why can't Yan understand Li Tai's thoughts?
So after a few words of persuasion, he gave up, knowing that if Li Tai couldn't fight for a fight, if he retreated at the moment, he would be depressed and depressed for the rest of his life.

If His Royal Highness the King of Wei, who is so talented, loses his sharp spirit and loses his soul all day long, how can he bear it?

She held Li Tai's hand, her eyes were full of affection, and she said softly: "It's natural to fight. After the crown prince is deposed, His Highness is the heir in line. How can there be any reason to give it to others? But when you know you can't do it , I also hope that His Highness will put himself first, and retreat when he retreats, and don't be arrogant and self-willed."

Li Tai solemnly nodded: "This king knows what to do...but now, should we contact the officials of the East Palace again to see what their plans are?"

Just relying on those flattering and flattering people around him, how can he compete with the menacing King Jin?If the officials of the Eastern Palace can attach themselves at a critical moment, their strength will be greatly increased, and they will have confidence in their hearts.

Yan thought for a while, shook his head slowly, and said: "Your Highness, there is no need to be so urgent. The East Palace either has no interest in His Highness, or they are just waiting for a price. Even if His Highness kneels down to beg, they will You won't submit to His Highness so easily. Jin Wang will definitely start his actions. With our strength, we are no match at all. Since we know we are invincible, why not sit on the Diaoyutai? It's just that we should go to the palace more often in our spare time to accompany our father. "

Li Tai thinks it makes sense. In the final analysis, the ownership of the reserve position does not depend on who is stronger. The abolition and establishment are all at the discretion of the father. It may be more effective to let the father understand his own ideas and ambitions.

"Come here, help me take a bath and change clothes, I want to enter the palace to see you."

*****
Wude Hall.

The light rain continued all night, until the sky brightened and the officials went to court, it was still dripping endlessly.

The light in the hall was a little dim. There were not many courtiers who came to the small court meeting today, but all of them were important ministers. The atmosphere was also different from the solemnity of the big court meeting. Everyone sat kneeling in the hall, and there were desks on the table. For tea and cakes, His Majesty Li Er also let go of the emperor's airs. When discussing matters, he would tell a few jokes from time to time, which made everyone laugh...

Near the end of the hour, everything was basically agreed.

The Duke of Ande County, Yang Shidao, who was lingering on the sick bed and hadn't been to court for a long time, coughed a few times, and said, "I have an instruction."

His Majesty Li Er glanced at him, a little surprised, nodded and said: "What's the matter, you can just write a memorial and submit it. Why do you need to drag your sick body to the court? This rainy day is the most tormenting, so go back to the house and rest. Don't toss your bones."

Before that, Zhao Jie and Hou Junji colluded with one party, intending to rebel, and were punished. Zhao Jie was the son of Yang Shidao's wife, Princess Guiyang, and her ex-husband, so Yang Shidao was implicated.Although His Majesty Li Er did not punish the crime, Yang Shidao was deeply frightened and did not dare to intervene indiscriminately in the government affairs.

When it came to the Guanlong Mutiny, the Hongnong Yang family stayed out of the matter, neither helping Guanlong nor supporting the East Palace, obviously unwilling to be involved in the battle for the reserve position.

Suddenly going to court today, and there is a book to play, obviously there is a plan...

Sure enough, Yang Shidao coughed a few more times, and his breathing was a little short: "The old minister is deeply favored by the emperor, and he should die to repay him. How dare he take his own life and slack off the king's affairs? It's just that he is old and weak, and his energy is weak. Central affairs are powerless... Now that the younger generation has grown up and can take on important responsibilities, we old bones can also retire to live for the rest of our lives, and the old minister feels very relieved."

At first glance, these words are confusing, but the deep meaning can be understood after a little thought...

His Majesty Li Er frowned, a little displeased: "If you have anything to say, it's okay to say it directly, there is no need to beat around the bush."

Yang Shidao's white eyebrows trembled, he didn't dare to ramble, and hurriedly said: "The king of Jin is smart, and the young man is wise. He should be given a big task to sharpen it, so that he can be the pillar of the country in the future."

All the officials in the hall were silent, looking at Yang Shidao and His Majesty Li Er, no one said a word.

It is true that Yang Shidao had always been close to the prince in the past, but Yi Chu is coming soon, and it is not too abrupt to switch to the court. Above the court is a huge power market, who would not want to profit from it?So everyone is watching how His Majesty Li Er will respond.

At this time, if His Majesty Li Er agrees to Yang Shidao's request, it indicates that the emperor's choice of reserve position may be more inclined to King Jin...

Many people looked at Fang Jun, who was kneeling and sitting with his head down. This guy lowered his eyebrows, kept silent, and could not see the slightest fluctuation of happiness or anger.

His Majesty Li Er pondered for a while, and asked, "In your opinion, what kind of mission should be entrusted to King Jin?"

Yang Shidao said slowly: "Previously, His Royal Highness Jin Wang served as Minister of the Ministry of Finance and performed well. Later, His Majesty appointed the King of Jin to review the Minister of Military Affairs, which is also remarkable. Now, after the experience of the Ministry of War, he is more stable in handling things. Shang Shu's right servant shoots, assisting His Majesty in handling the government affairs."

Needle drop can be heard in the hall, only the light rain outside the window.

Shangshu right servant shoots?
That's one of the Zaisukes!

Even though in fact Shangshu Zuopushe did not have a fixed number of people, the head of Shangshu Zuopushe, besides presiding over the work of Shangshu Province, was also given this position as an "honorary official rank", but anyone who can be honored Waiting for positions, which one is not the most important minister among the important ministers, and the big boss among the big bosses?
What's more, His Majesty personally served as the order of Shangshu, and the right servant of Shangshu was His Majesty's assistant official, who was extremely close and had great authority.

Once His Majesty agrees to confer the position of Prince Jin, the ownership of the reserve will almost be settled...

His Majesty Li Er's face was as sinking as water, and there was no joy or anger, but his thick black eyebrows were tightly frowned, and the black and bloated eye bags were clearly visible, obviously he was also weighing in his heart.

There was a long silence, and he didn't speak, neither agreed nor refused.

The atmosphere was a little tense for a while.

"Cough cough."

A cough suddenly sounded in the hall, and everyone's hearts were shaken. Looking around, they saw Fang Jun, who had been kneeling and lowered his eyebrows, slowly straightened his waist, raised his head, and looked at His Majesty Li Er who was sitting on the throne.

Everyone was excited, Donggong was still unwilling to lie down, and wanted to do his best to fight for the reserve position?

His Majesty Li Er raised his eyelids and stared closely at Fang Jun for a while, seeing that he just straightened up but didn't speak, so he asked, "Duke Yue, do you have something to say?"

Fang Jun's eyes were a little blank: "This... I have nothing to say, but I am a little tired after sitting for a long time, so relax and disturb your majesty, I am guilty."

His Majesty Li Er: "..."

Damn!Above my hall, you stretch your waist? !

With a half-smile, he said: "Although Duke Yue is fierce, he should be restrained. Don't be greedy for pleasure. If you hurt your kidneys and your roots are insufficient, you may regret it when you get old."

I was annoyed at Fang Jun's rudeness in my heart, but I was also relieved.

If the Eastern Palace is not willing to be abolished, and vows to fight against the trapped beasts, it will not mess up the court situation, and the loss will be too great...

Listening to His Majesty's "joke", the ministers echoed with laughter.

This change seemed to start between the elbows and armpits. Fang Jun's intervention at this moment caused a sudden change in the situation. Xiao Yu and Zhang Xingcheng looked at each other, and they both saw each other's nervousness...
