The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 687 The Wolf Ambition of Shu King Li Ke (Part [-])
"Could it be that after Li Zhi ascends the throne, there are still people who dare to openly rebel. Or do you think this king should raise troops to seize the throne?" Li Ge, King of Shu, asked Yang Da.

Yang Da smiled and said to Shu King Li Ke: "If the ruler is strong and the officials are weak, then the world will naturally be peaceful and prosperous. If the ruler is weak and the ministers are strong, then the world will naturally not be peaceful."

"And Jin Wang Li Zhi's character is not that domineering, but tends to be weak. And for the sake of his own reputation, the current emperor did not kill those founding heroes like other founding emperors."

"The emperor is alive, so he can naturally suppress those heroes who founded the country. If once the emperor controls the sky, does His Royal Highness the King of Shu think that Li Zhi, the king of Jin, can suppress these heroes who founded the country?"

Hearing Yang Da's words, Shu King Li Ke couldn't help but nodded.He still knows his ninth younger brother quite well.I know that Li Zhi's character is soft, not domineering like a king.

"All the ministers in the court are loyal to the emperor, and they are all much older than the emperor. I am afraid that they have already become a cup of loess before the emperor's dragon controls the sky." Luo Yiming said to Shu King Li Ke.

"Even if there is no rebellion in the country, it does not mean that the world is peaceful. Before Li Chengqian raised his troops to force the palace, he colluded with Khitan and Xi State and launched a war against Yan King Li Tai's Youzhou."

"It's a pity that Khitan and Xi Guo joined forces to defeat Li Tai. If Li Tai had died at the hands of the coalition forces of the two countries, Li Chengqian is probably sitting on the throne now."

"So why don't His Royal Highness the King of Shu follow the example of Li Chengqian, and after Jin Wang Li Zhi ascended the throne, provoke the Western countries to attack Chang'an. At the same time, let the people in the court suggest that Li Zhi will personally conquer."

"As long as Li Zhi dies on the battlefield, how can he rely on his youngest son to hold the world? At that time, the world will definitely be in chaos, and His Royal Highness the King of Shu will naturally take the opportunity to seize the throne." Yang Dawei opened his eyes and looked at the King of Shu, Li Ke. Said.

"It is not difficult to provoke the troops of the Western countries to enter Chang'an. But it is not an easy task for Li Zhi to lead him personally." Li Ke, King of Shu, said after thinking about it.

"The current emperor has personally conquered many times, and expanded the territory of the Tang Dynasty for more than a thousand miles. That's why he is called the holy king through the ages and one emperor."

"If someone uses the emperor as a model to suggest that the King of Jin, Li Zhi, should lead the imperial conquest. Do you think that the King of Jin, Li Zhi, might admit his weakness?" Yang Da said to the King of Shu, Li Ke, with a smile.

"You scholars are so wicked that you can even think of such a conspiracy." Luo Yiming said disdainfully.

"Even so, His Royal Highness the King of Shu must secretly accumulate strength. Otherwise, even Jin Wang Li Zhi will die in the imperial conquest. I am afraid that the throne will not be easily in the hands of His Royal Highness the King of Shu." Zhao Wang Li Yuanjing's housekeeper Li Ming, said to Li Ke, king of Shu.

"Mr. Li is right. Although the king already has one hundred thousand troops in Shu, it is far from enough. Luo Yiming, you will start recruiting secretly immediately. You must recruit 30 troops in case of emergencies." Li Ke, king of Shu, nodded his head. , Said to Luo Yiming.

……

Li Tai, who returned to Youzhou, was very relaxed.There is no need for him to worry about military affairs.Prime Minister Liu Rengui and Generalissimo Luo Song handled the military affairs in an orderly manner.

So Li Tai's life is so chic, isn't it, Li Tai is in a good mood today.He called Qin Huaiyu, Xu Liang and other six sworn brothers to his mansion for a drink.

After drinking for three rounds and eating five flavors, the brothers finally expressed their doubts to Li Tai.After all, this matter has troubled them for a long time, and they have never had the right opportunity to mention it to Li Tai.

"My lord, why does my lord not accept the position of crown prince given by the emperor to my lord? Does my lord not want to rule the world one day?" Xu Liang asked Li Tai.

"I'm afraid that among the men in the world, there is no one who doesn't want to wake up and take over the power of the world, and lie drunk on the lap of a beauty. But how many people can really do it? On the contrary, countless people have lost their lives because of it." Li Tai said to Xu Liang with a smile .

"Now that the Lord has many soldiers and generals, is there anyone who dares to have other ideas about the Lord?" Xu Liang said to Li Tai puzzled.

It's no wonder that Xu Liang was puzzled, if anyone in the world was to be in charge of the East Palace, the people in the world would be most convinced.It is estimated that there is only Yan Wang Li Tai alone.

Although Confucian students would never want to see this moment.But after all, they only have pens, not guns.They are just verbal critics.

It is impossible for anyone to dare to have any opinion on Li Tai's succession to the crown prince.Not to mention that no one dared to risk the displeasure of the world and attack Li Tai rashly.

"Brothers, do you think that with my current strength, if I send troops to force the palace to let my father abdicate, will I be defeated like my brother?" Li Tai asked all the brothers with a smile.

Xu Liang and others did not expect that Li Tai would ask such a sentence.For a while, I really didn't know how to answer.If they tell their hearts, they naturally feel that there is no possibility of failure.

Seeing the surprised expressions of the brothers, Li Tai said with a smile: "I guess I think the same as the brothers, that is, there is no possibility of failure at all."

"Since we all know, how could the father not know? If I agreed to the father to be in charge of the East Palace that day, do you think the father will rest assured of me?"

When Li Tai said this, everyone present suddenly realized.Although Li Shimin kept saying that he wanted to make Li Tai the current prince.And also said that he wanted to give up the throne to Li Tai.

But who would believe that Li Shimin was telling the truth.Even Li Yuan, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, would never have been willing to give up the throne to Li Shimin if he hadn't been passive.

So if Li Tai really accepted the position of prince, I'm afraid it will definitely make Li Shimin feel bad.It is estimated that the next step is to slowly weaken Li Tai's power.Lest Li Tai imitate Li Chengqian.

"It turns out that the lord is worried about this, but Xu Liang ignored it. But I still think that the prince of the Tang Dynasty must be the lord." Xu Liang said to Li Tai.

"I don't know the feelings of the brothers. Back then, the fathers of the brothers followed my father and conquered such a country. Now they are all enshrined as princes and prime ministers."

"And brothers, you are by my side now. How can I let all brothers do nothing for this life." Li Tai said to everyone with a smile.

Hearing Li Tai's words, everyone couldn't help showing excitement in their eyes.They don't want to be granted titles, because their fathers already have them.

Even if they don't follow Li Tai, they will inherit their father's title.So all they care about is whether they can make contributions.Whether he can be as famous as his father.

And how could Li Tai not know what their wishes were.So he continued: "Father built the Lingyan Pavilion in the palace, and collected the parents of the elder brothers into the Lingyan Pavilion for future generations to look up to."

"I promise you brothers today. One day, there will naturally be a place for you brothers in Lingyan Pavilion. And the weight will definitely not be lighter than your parents' generation."
