Datang: At the beginning, Li Er eavesdropped on his heart

Chapter 229 The Family's Countermeasures

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and there were different opinions in Chang'an City. The news that the prince Li Chengqian was going to be deposed became more and more evil.

In the Lu family, the heads of several aristocratic families came over, each with a serious expression.

Everything is hidden in the heart.

"Patriarch Lu, what do you think about the rumors outside?" Patriarch Cui put on a cold face, and directly threw the conversation at Patriarch Lu.

Patriarch Lu sneered and said irrefutably.

"How can you look at it? The emperor asked Wei Zheng to assist the King of Liang. Don't you understand the meaning of this?"

"If the prince is really deposed, I'm afraid His Royal Highness King Liang will take over."

Patriarch Cui sighed, naturally he could see clearly, but this ran counter to the original intention of their families to support King Wei Li Tai's supremacy.

"Absolutely not!"

Another person spoke, and the crowd suddenly became chaotic, only feeling that the current situation is not good for them at all.

If King Wei could not gain power, the aristocratic family would be gone, and all their painstaking efforts on Li Tai would be in vain.

Just when the debate was in full swing, someone suddenly came in to report, and Patriarch Lu's face was overjoyed after hearing this.

"His Royal Highness is here."

I saw a gorgeously dressed person come in, with cold eyes, and nodded after scanning the eyes of everyone present.

"Everyone knows about the changes in the palace these days. I came here this time to hear how everyone responds to this matter."

Li Tai is very thoughtful, if the prince is really deposed, he will use Li Yin's current popular attitude.

The position of the lord of the Eastern Palace can't fall on him no matter what.

Several Patriarchs present looked at each other, and they all showed embarrassment.

They had been arguing about this matter just now. How could it come to a result just because of Li Tai's arrival.

"His Royal Highness King Wei, we all agree that if His Royal Highness Liang Wang takes that position, it will be bad for us."

Master Lu said in a gloomy tone.

Li Tai sneered, and just glanced at him, but he was speechless in his heart.

This is something that can be seen at a glance. The head of the Lu family knows it even if he doesn't say it.

"On weekdays, you all boast about how powerful you are, but it's useless when it comes to critical moments."

"Forget it, anyway, I am not the only one who has a headache now. There is news from the East Palace that the crown prince is like an ant on a hot pot."

"Hurry up, if I were him, I would be too anxious, my position will be gone if I say no."

Li Tai seemed to be talking to himself, trying to find a sense of balance from Li Chengqian's current situation.

But it made Patriarch Cui's eyes brighten up.

"What? Do you have a solution?" Patriarch Lu noticed his strangeness and couldn't help asking.

Li Tai also stared straight at Patriarch Cui, hoping that he could come up with a way to solve the current situation.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I have thought of a way, and I will tell His Highness and all the Patriarchs."

Li Tai nodded, Patriarch Lu on the side urged him, and Patriarch Cui didn't dare to hold back anymore.

"I just heard His Highness King Wei say that the man in the East Palace is more anxious than us now. In this case, why not push him to the front to stabilize the situation."

"As long as the crown prince is not deposed and the balance of the three parties is not broken, His Royal Highness King Wei still has time to maneuver."

"It's easy to say, the prince today is no better than before, the emperor doesn't want to see him at all."

A Patriarch stood up and started to sneer, but Patriarch Cui didn't take it seriously at all.

"Your Highness, I have my own way."

The head of the Cui family came to King Wei as if he wanted to take credit, and told him his plan.

It turned out that there was a son of the Cui family, who is now an official of the court, called Cui Ping.

"You mean to ask Cui Ping to contact the prince and persuade him to surrender to the emperor?"

Patriarch Lu is not a mediocre person, so he immediately realized that Li Tai also narrowed his eyes, thinking secretly.

"That's it. Don't look at the prince's current loss of power. The main reason is that his temper is not liked by the emperor."

"If I can go to the emperor and admit my mistake, the emperor won't be able to argue with me anymore."

Patriarch Cui talked eloquently, but he had full confidence in his heart.

After a while, Li Tai and Master Lu were tempted by what they said.

"I think this is feasible, so you should hurry up and make arrangements. You must be quick."

Li Tai took a deep breath. If the delay continued, Li Shimin really made up his mind. At that time, everything they did would be in vain.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely handle this matter beautifully."

Patriarch Cui patted himself on the chest, and immediately went to make arrangements as if swearing.

A stone hanging in the hearts of the remaining Patriarchs fell, and Patriarch Lu even talked with Li Tai in detail.

"Your Highness, if Patriarch Cui's plan succeeds, we can maintain our current state."

Oh?
Li Tai became interested, so he asked Patriarch Lu to continue talking.

"Your Highness, two tigers are fighting, wouldn't it be better for us to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight."

"When they both lose, it's time for His Highness to step forward and clean up the situation."

After Patriarch Lu finished speaking, Li Tai couldn't help laughing, feeling complacent in his heart.

"When I gain power, you and others will be the people I rely on the most."

In a word, it gave enough confidence to the several Patriarchs, and they should work hard for a bright future.

"I am willing to follow His Highness, on the saddle and on the horse!"

Patriarch Lu took the lead, and everyone bowed down.

Cui Patriarch called Cui Ping.

In a small room, Patriarch Cui's face was stern, so he told Cui Ping about it.

"After you meet the prince, you must clearly understand the stakes so that he can do it without sparing any effort."

"As long as the prince can persuade the emperor and dispel the emperor's desire to depose the prince, the situation will still be in our favor."

After Cui Ping heard this, his eyes tightened, and he nodded heavily.

The Patriarch had spoken in person, so he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to follow Patriarch Cui's wishes.

In the East Palace, Cui Ping walked in uneasily, only to see that the eunuchs and maids serving him had bruises on their noses and faces, and were in a very bad mental state.

Cui Ping took a deep breath, unable to react for a while.

"Where is His Royal Highness?"

Cui Ping stopped a court lady, the one who was beaten by Li Chengqian not long ago with sticks, and she immediately saw panic in her eyes.

Hearing the unnatural title of His Royal Highness, he became afraid.

"In the back garden, you...you'd better not go there."

The maid kindly reminded Cui Ping and left in a hurry, fearing that someone would see her and tell Li Chengqian.

At that time, I don't know what Li Chengqian can do.
