Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"Why don't you talk? Do you have no opinion at all? Or are you afraid to speak out? British Lord, tell me!"

Li Jixin said that this has nothing to do with me, and he replied vaguely: "My humble minister is stupid, can't figure out the right and wrong of this matter, so I dare not speak nonsense."

"Stupid?" His Majesty Li Er sneered, and said: "Since you know that you are stupid, what face do you have to stand above the court? What face do you have to take my salary? Retire, and tomorrow I will hand in a beggar for bones." Bar."

His Majesty Li Er first abolished the crown prince today, and then imprisoned Yu Chigong, and now, he even ordered Yu Chigong, who was strictly neutral, to retire.For a moment, the majesty was so powerful that the officials were so frightened that they all said that it was only natural to abolish the prince, and there was nothing wrong with it.

However, His Majesty Li Er still seemed dissatisfied, and said, "King of Qin, Guoye, you have been silent all this time. Do you agree or disagree?"

Chapter 2131 Retreat or advance? (1)

His Majesty Li Er's words seemed to have the effect of reversing the laws of physics.

When the prince's confession was read out just now, several eunuchs had to read it together.Now, His Majesty Li Er just asked casually, his tone was not harsh, and his voice was not high-pitched. As a result, there was silence both inside and outside the hall.

People didn't even dare to take a breath, and the audience was so silent that it seemed as if a needle could be heard.

It can cause this effect, without it, the atmosphere is contagious.

Those who could hear clearly were all terrified, with serious expressions on their faces.Even if they didn't know what was going on, they were shocked by this weird atmosphere and kept silent.

How would Guo Ye answer His Majesty Li Er's question?

If he said Your Majesty, you are doing the right thing, of course it is hello, hello, hello, everyone.

But is that possible?

Guo Ye had been the prince's tutor, so he was naturally on the same boat as the prince, and he himself was at odds with King Qi.If the crown prince is deposed, it can be said that his future is ruined.One day when King Qi ascends the throne, it is possible that his family will be confiscated and exterminated.

Death sooner or later is death, why didn't he fight to the death?

His Majesty Li Er could depose Fang Xuanling with a few words, order Yu Chigong to be imprisoned, and even order Li Ji to retire without much effort.

But facing Guo Ye is by no means easy.

Who is Guo Ye?Although he doesn't have any duties other than an empty title now, don't forget his previous identity.

Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Order of Chang'an, General of the Weifu, Lord of the Lijing Gate, and Commander of the Bad People's Congress.

Forget about the Minister of Rites, the key is other duties.These tasks are all related to military power, and they are military power in Chang'an City.

It can be said that Guo Ye was the boss of all the soldiers and horses in Chang'an City except for His Majesty Li Er's personal guards.

After so many years, who would believe that Guo Ye didn't put a private person in it?

Taking a step back, even if Guo Ye is really as pure as a white lotus, so what if he doesn't have a trusted aide?

Guo Ye has money in his pocket, does not take bribes, is fair and honest.For officers and soldiers, there is only kindness and no resentment.Now that he has been demoted innocently, there are definitely many people who complain about him.

To deal with this kind of person, theoretically speaking, there is only one way to deal with it slowly.First punish his party members, cut off his prestige, and then convict himself.It is too dangerous to directly attack the Overlord now, and it may cause a big chaos.

Of course, even if there is a riot, the final winner must be His Majesty Li Er.But it's unclear how many people died in the process.It is even more unclear whether the people present and their families will be safe and sound!

Not only that, these are relatively "distant worries", and now there are "near-term concerns"!

Guo Ye is a famous warrior in the Tang Dynasty, what if he gets into trouble?

Although it is unlikely, what if he really succeeds in killing His Majesty Li Er and supporting the crown prince to succeed him?

How should everyone stand in line?

It's about everyone's life, how can everyone relax?

Li Daliang was the most nervous at this moment, his body was a little stiff, his tongue was a little stiff, and he looked at Guo Ye without blinking his eyes.

Suddenly, Guo Ye moved.

He took a step forward, and Li Daliang also made do with His Majesty Li Er.

He bowed, and Li Daliang clenched the sword at his waist.

When he knelt down, Li Daliang's eyes went straight!

Guo Ye said in a deep voice: "Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of heaven, and there is nothing wrong with the decision made by His Majesty."

Li Daliang was a little dumbfounded immediately, Guo Ye was scared!He was cowardly!How is this going?Shouldn't it be that Guo Ye made a sudden move, stood in front of His Majesty, escorted him to death, and fought for the name of eternal loyalty?

It doesn't make sense!

Could it be that the world-renowned King Qin Qiansui is actually a softie?

His Majesty Li Er seemed a little surprised by Guo Ye's answer, and said, "You support me in abolishing the crown prince."

"Exactly."

"Then who should succeed the crown prince?"

"This is the Prince's family matter, His Majesty can make decisions arbitrarily."

"Guo Ye, raise your head up."

"Yes."

His Majesty Li Er stared into his eyes and said word by word: "What if I want to make King Qi the crown prince?"

"I would like to obey the imperial edict."

"Okay, what the King of Qin said is very much in line with my wishes. Then the matter is settled like this. A grand ceremony will be held three days later, and the King of Qi will be made the crown prince."

Is that okay?

It seems that His Majesty Li Er is too impatient to make King Qi the crown prince.

People looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling that their original inferences were not reliable.Could it be that the prince was really framed by His Majesty?

However, before they could think about this matter clearly, His Majesty Li Er's second order came again.

He said: "Li Ji is about to retire and return to his hometown. The position of leading the army and the general of the Weifu cannot be vacant. General Xue Wanche will take over. King Qin, what do you think?"

One sheep is also driving, and the two sheep are also leading. Guo Ye said: "I have no objection."

"What about the opinions of other lovers?"

All the ministers said in unison: "The ministers and others will second the proposal."

His Majesty Li Er said again: "As for Yu Chigong's position as Minister of War, Duke Xun Zhang Liang will take over."

Now Guo Ye didn't wait for him to ask questions, and said together with the officials: "Your Majesty is wise!"
