Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

After listening to Wu Meiniang's words, Li Zhi frowned tightly.

The prince's position is as stable as Mount Tai. How can he shake it in the slightest?

Du He is the most important foundation of the prince. Only by getting rid of Du He can the prince's foundation be shaken.

By then, with the support of powerful forces such as relatives and uncles, he will be able to successfully ascend to the throne by clipping the wings of the prince's subordinates bit by bit.

After thinking about it for a while.

Li Zhi clenched his fists and said, "Mei Niang, Du He is the most powerful minion under the Crown Prince. If you get rid of Du He, Big Brother will lose both arms!"

"Some time ago, my uncle sent Zhang Sunxun here and told me the importance of getting rid of Du He."

"Our chance has come now!"

According to their uncle's plan, they only need to watch the battle behind the scenes. When the Li clan and Du He are both defeated, it will shake their father's idea of ​​appointing a crown prince.

The prince's character was too rigid and tough, and he couldn't get along harmoniously with his relatives.

He is different. He can bring great benefits to his clan members.

By then, in order to appease the anger of the clan members and to stabilize the country, the emperor will most likely let him replace his elder brother and become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty!

Thinking of this, Li Zhi's mouth corners curled up.

Wu Meiniang shook her head slightly and said softly, "Your Highness, let's not talk about whether we can get rid of Du He. Even if we can get rid of Du He, I'm afraid your chances of taking over are very slim."

Li Zhi raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

He was full of ambition at the moment, but Mei Niang's words were like pouring cold water on him.

If Mei Niang was not the woman he loved, he would definitely turn against her.

Wu Meiniang stood up and said, "Besides Du He, the Crown Prince also has Hou Junji, Ma Zhou, Fang Xuanling, Lu Chengqing, Cui Yixuan, Cheng Yaojin, and many other people supporting him. Do you think Duke Zhao and Chu Suiliang can be a match for this group of people?"

"Even if these important officials remain neutral, the Crown Prince still has Pei Xingjian, Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui, Xi Junmai, Wang Jun'e, Liu Li, Cheng Wuting, Luo Tong, Cui Shenji, and Wang Jingzhi under his command."

"Do you think the prince's team is bad?"

this...

Every time Li Zhi heard Wu Meiniang read out the name of an important official, his brows couldn't help but twitch.

Yes!

Even if the old ministers of the Prince of Qin's Palace do not intervene, the strength of the civil and military officials under the prince's command is not bad!

Most of the civil and military officials in the court are the prince’s men, especially the prince’s influence in the military. He basically controls 70% of the Tang Dynasty’s troops!

Facing a prince who is even more powerful than the King of Qin, what can he use to fight?

How to overthrow the prince?

If he took up the banner for the Li clan, and in the end, wouldn't these 76 Li clan members also be demoted to commoners?

Li Zhi, who was originally full of confidence, at this moment his faith collapsed and he lost all confidence.

There was silence for a long time.

Li Zhi said dejectedly: "Mei Niang, if you say so, I'd better be a Prince of Anle!"

"This prince and the crown prince are brothers from the same mother. As long as this prince behaves honestly, I believe the crown prince will not force me to death."

No more fighting!

Since I can't rule the country, it's not a bad idea to live in a corner with the beauty.

Now that the imperial court has conquered more and more territories, the eldest brother may even make him a prince. Then, won’t he be the ruler of a country?

The territory may be smaller, but it will be easier for him to manage.

Why not be able to spend time with your loved ones every day without having to worry about so many things?

"Hey!"

Wu Meiniang sighed secretly, shook her head slightly and said, "Your Highness, I don't mean to ask you to back down, but to ask you to change your target."

"Since getting rid of Du He won't be enough to shake the Crown Prince, we won't target him directly!"

Attack the eldest brother?

Isn't this courting death?

Now the eldest brother is the pride of our father. If he dares to point his spearhead at the eldest brother, our father will be the first to take action to deal with him!

Li Zhi waved his hand: "No!"

"Big brother is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. Father will not allow us to attack him directly. Besides, Du He is doing all the dirty work, so we have no reason to deal with him!"

"This strategy is too dangerous and must not be used!"

Now there is a direct conflict between the prince and Du He, so it is reasonable to deal with Du He. What reason is there to deal with the prince?

After a while.

Wu Meiniang frowned and said, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince is now the Regent, in charge of the military and political affairs of the Tang Dynasty. This time, when the Li clan members go to Chang'an, they may target the Crown Prince."

"If the Crown Prince doesn't handle the relationship with his clan members well, then that will cause His Majesty to change his mind."

"This is the safest, most direct and effective method!"

Whether it is getting rid of Du He or using the prophecy to incite Li Junxian to rebel, both are bad strategies.

Only by provoking conflicts between the Crown Prince and the Li clan members and turning external disputes into internal affairs of the Li royal family can His Majesty and the Crown Prince be given headaches.

Seeing that Li Zhi was about to give up, Wu Meiniang walked over, grabbed his hand and said.

"Don't be afraid, Your Highness. This matter has nothing to do with you!"

"We just need to give these princes some advice and make them shift their focus and vent their anger on the Crown Prince!"

"If you win, you will be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, ruling over a vast territory!"

Faced with his lover's encouragement, Li Zhi thought for a long time and nodded slightly.

Then... give it a try!

...

While Li Zhi was interacting frequently with his relatives, Du He had long forgotten this little matter.

In addition to completing the reconstruction plan for the Daming Palace, he also completed Li Shimin's autobiographical novel about immortals.

Yuhua Palace.

Inside the Ziwei Hall.

Li Shimin was sitting in the main seat, quietly reading the biography of immortals and gods, which had a total of 9 words. His face was full of joy.

"it is good!"

“It’s so well written!”

Li Shimin occasionally praised him and then began to read the book seriously.

Below the main hall.

The genius doctor Sun Simiao was frowning as he took the pulse of Duke Song Xiao Yu, and his face looked very solemn.

The skinny Xiao Yu, on the other hand, looked much more indifferent. He had no fear of life or death, and no attachment to this world.

Hope the consultation is over.

Du He, who was sitting opposite him, asked softly, "Doctor Sun, how is Duke Song's health?"

Xiao Yu joked to himself, "I've become such a horrible state that I need someone to support me even after walking a few steps. How much better can I be?"

"Now, even breathing is causing me such heartache that I am afraid I won't live for many days."

After hearing Xiao Yu's words, Li Shimin put down the biography in his hand, his face full of worry.

In order to allow Xiao Yu to recover from his injuries in peace, he specially ordered someone to send Xiao Yu to Yuhua Palace. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yu's condition did not improve at all, but instead became worse.

If this continues, I’m afraid I won’t make it through this month!

Li Shimin and Sun Simiao looked at each other, and Sun Simiao shook his head slightly at him.

Seeing this, Li Shimin sighed secretly.

"Hey!"

Even Sun Simiao was unable to save Xiao Yu, so which other miracle doctor in the world could save Xiao Yu?

A moment of silence.

Li Shimin consoled him and said, "Xiao Yu, Dr. Sun said that your body is still strong and your pain is caused by your heart disease."

"As long as your thoughts are clear and your mood is cheerful, your illness will definitely be cured!"

"The prince still needs your continued assistance!"

This old stubborn guy has such a stubborn temper!

Once you admit your death, even ten oxen can’t pull you back!
