[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 7 Game 2

"Don't want this, make scented tea here..." Li Zhi sat on the couch, waved his hand to ask the palace servants to take down the boiled tea soup, and replace it with fresh scented tea from Wanchun Hall A.

The palace servants hurriedly brought a large pot of tea and left.

The king's servant stepped forward and asked cautiously, "Why did your majesty come back so early today?"

Li Zhi pinched his brows, with an extremely tired look on his face.

The king's servant saw that he seemed to have something to say, so he made a gesture, ordering the surrounding palace servants to step down, leaving only Xiao Shunzi by his side.

"Why is Your Majesty bothered?"

Li Zhi sighed, and said quietly: "Earlier this morning, my brother entered the palace and confessed the matter of treason with his own mouth..."

"Father was furious, and immediately decreed that brother should be imprisoned in the inner garden..."

The king's servant was startled when he heard the words. During this period of time, there were rumors that the prince was suspected of participating in a conspiracy to force the palace, but the saint obviously disagreed with this statement, and ordered that no officials should disturb the East Palace. It was clearly to protect the prince to the end.

Unexpectedly, the prince actually ran out to confess his crime!

Isn't this asking for a dead end? !

"Wang Weng, what do you think father will do to brother..." To be honest, Cheng Qian would admit to treason, Li Zhi also did not expect it.He more or less understood some of the inside story of the night incident in the West Palace incident. The elder brother didn't participate in the coercion of the palace at all, why did he admit it?

For the crime of treason, even the prince could not escape death.

Li Zhi can't understand Chengqian's desire to die, what can't be solved slowly?Why use such an extreme method?

Can't big brother take into account the feelings of relatives and lovers?

He even felt a little empathy for his father's anger and pain...

It is too painful to have such a stubborn son on the stand!

"This, this... this old slave can't say well..." Wang's servant did not expect that Li Zhi would ask him his opinion on this matter. How could he, a small servant, dare to discuss such an important matter.

"Forget it, I ask you what you are doing..." Li Zhi laughed.

How will daddy deal with big brother?

This question is really not a problem!

All the princes who embarked on the road of rebellion and failed in history often ended up with a different ending...

If the rebellion is the crown prince, then there will only be misery...

Think about how Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty treated the deposed prince Liu Shi...

Even sitting on the barbarians, tens of thousands of people...

Even Liu Ju's older sister, who had been married for many years, was not spared, and all of them were imprisoned and executed...

Those are also Emperor Wu's own daughters!

He is also an emperor, but his father only confines his eldest brother in the inner garden and refuses to judge him for a long time. Isn't he just trying to find a way for his eldest brother to survive?

I believe that with Dad's hard work, everyone in the Eastern Palace should not suffer too much damage...

Li Xiaojiu has full confidence in his father's abilities, but he doesn't know how difficult it is for his father, His Majesty Li Er, to fight wits and courage with the courtiers to get to where he is today!

At first Li Shimin was forced to call Chengqian into the palace to defend himself by a group of important ministers headed by Changsun Wuji, which already made him feel extremely aggrieved.

Now, forcing others to add another Chengqian...

Chengqian's letter made him deeply realize that the current situation has not allowed him to control the situation so far.

Li Shimin really wanted to say that Chengqian is indeed his son, even he can clearly analyze the hidden thoughts in his heart!

He has been a Mingjun and Renjun for so many years, and it can be said that he has hidden his true face to the bottom of his heart!

However, it was that secret letter that made him see his true face again.

That's even Changsun Wuji, and Li Shimin didn't dare to let him see something.

If those right-hand men who have followed him for many years find out, I'm afraid everyone will be chilled...

What is the taboo of seizing the emperor through mutiny?

That's right, military power.

The entire content of Chengqian Shangshu is actually two words: military power and timing.

Who has military power?

what time?

These are really two good questions...

In his whole life, he has always been making choices, whether to take or give up...

Now, he has lost even the right to decide whether to choose...

Because Chengqian has already helped him make a choice in a decisive way!

Li Shimin stood on the main hall with his hands behind his back, closed his eyes and raised his head, not knowing what to say for a long time.

"Saints, ministers and others participated in the case of the crown prince's treason, everything has been proven. Please make a decision as soon as possible..." It was Changsun Wuji who interrupted His Majesty Li Er's meditation.At this time, he is the only one who dares to stroke the tiger's beard without worrying about being retaliated against.

Li Shimin turned around slowly, looking from Situ Elder Sun Wuji, Sikong Fang Xuanling, Tejin Xiao Yu, Minister of War Li Shiji, Dali Qing Sun Fujia, Zhongshu Minister Cen Wenwen, Yushi Doctor Ma Zhou, Advisory Doctor Chu Suiliang, etc. Look at the people one by one.

Everyone couldn't help lowering their heads when they met Li Shimin's eyes.

"Is this the result of your love affairs?"

"Yes..." The answer was still Changsun Wuji.

His Majesty Li Er faced this face that had been with him for many years, and he couldn't express how much anger he had.

If others attack Chengqian, Li Shimin may think that person has selfish intentions, but the eldest grandson is Chengqian's own uncle, and even he has given up, so Chengqian is really hopeless...

Li Shimin wanted to shout loudly: What do you call the truth? !

It's just a one-sided statement!

Why can't you believe what I say?

Why do you all have to force me like this?

Could it be that I can only be a king, but not a father?

"My son Chengqian, the eldest son of Empress Wende, the late emperor and I love each other like a heart, and he has devoted himself to cultivating it for many years. Unexpectedly, today..." Li Shimin's eyes were red, he looked up at the beams of the hall, and his voice choked.

Chengqian's "crime" is irreparable. For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin can only follow the wishes of the ministers and Chengqian and depose him as the crown prince.

But he wants to save his son's life no matter what!

"Prince, the prince of the country, the heir of the clan, I can't deal with it hastily..." Li Shimin said firmly to the crowd: "I have decided, and I will choose a day for a referendum."

Although Changsun Wuji and others were a little surprised when they heard the words, they also felt that His Majesty Li Er's decision was reasonable.

At any rate, His Majesty the Emperor finally let go of the discussion about the prince's disposal. This seemingly delayed decision is better than him pretending to be deaf and dumb and thinking about it!

The crowd retreated contentedly.

His Majesty Li Er also returned to Ganlu Hall contentedly.

Is the tactic of slowing down the army a magic horse?Can I eat it?

But we fell into my trick!

The so-called referendum means that all officials publicly vote on the handling of something. Officials above the fifth rank in the capital have the right to vote, and then the minority obeys the majority to determine the result of the handling.

Seems fair doesn't it?

But how should the prince's rebellion be handled? Does it still need to be discussed?

His Majesty Li Er wants to publicly ask how to deal with Chengqian in front of all the ministers. Isn't this Hong Guoguo expressing that he doesn't want to kill Chengqian at all!

Which official dared to challenge His Majesty the Emperor and vote against it? !

After all, Wei Zheng is just that one!

Holding His Majesty's thigh tightly is the kingly way!

In order to ensure the safety of the plan, in the next few days, His Majesty Li Er secretly summoned a group of office staff from the central government behind the back of his eldest grandson Wuji, and brainwashed them in the name of caring about the work and life of his subordinates...

His Majesty the Emperor and the Crown Prince are so affectionate, the so-called legal principles do not lose human feelings blabla...

A sage values ​​family affection, a tiger’s poison does not eat its offspring, killing a son would only be done by an idiot, how could a sage be an idiot blabla...

So, when the time comes, how should you express your position, you know...

This kind of brainwashing will continue until the eve of the referendum, but the effect is another story.

It's just that Li Shimin saw that his son's life was hopeful, and his heart suddenly fell to the ground.

Just a while ago, Concubine Wei's daughter, Princess Linchuan, and Princess Dingxiang returned to the palace to celebrate her mother's birthday, and now they are living in the palace to share family happiness with the concubine.

His Majesty Li Er touched the scene and said that he hadn't seen his married daughters for a long time, and he missed them very much, so he gave an order to all the married princesses in the capital, allowing them to live in the palace for a while.

Therefore, starting from the princess of Xiangcheng, the married princesses set out one or two alone or came in groups. Could it be that they were all dressed up beautifully, brought a lot of guards and maids, and brought all kinds of gifts to honor their parents? Go out on the street with great vigor and vigor with my usual daily necessities.It doesn't look like entering the palace to spend time with your parents, but rather like showing off your own identity and the status of your husband's family.

All of a sudden, the turnover of various high-end clothing, jewelry, cosmetics, and antique shops in Chang'an City seemed to blow out, creating a record high!The merchants were so happy from ear to ear, they praised His Majesty the Emperor for his love.

Where there is joy, there is sorrow, and Shi, the shepherd of Yongzhou, is so worried that his hair will turn white overnight.

Whenever the princess travels, she must have armored guards to clear the way and passers-by to avoid them, and if necessary, Yongzhou shepherds will send people to maintain order.

Yongzhou Mu has a lot of management and inspection officials, but they can't afford a group of princesses to travel!

These are small things.

The trick is, when two princesses who are not in the same car collide with each other, or when several princesses of the same age are arguing over who will cross the bridge/gate/alley first, or when the princess is upset because of the failure of the comparison, the princess happens to meet Until the time when they are not afraid of the rich and powerful and regard others as their own censors, and they don't see each other and don't give way to each other...

The princesses thought that they would never ask him, the head shepherd of Yongzhou, to mediate and mediate, but directly command their own guards to kill the Quartet...

Since His Majesty Li Er ordered Princess Xu to return to the palace for a short stay, there have been dozens of fights of different scales in Chang'an City...

The entire Chang'an city is now talking about the princess and its color changes...

Comrade Yongzhou Shepherd Chief Shi's hair is more than half gray. If his boss's background is not strong enough, his long history may have been abused by the princesses and turned into a powder!

He is an official of his level, and he can be regarded as a small prince outside, so why is it that everyone in Chang'an can step on it?

It's too hard, is there anything!

However, it's not him who is hard-pressed, but His Majesty Li Er's confidantes and lovers.

What a coincidence, the daughters of His Majesty Li Er's princesses are almost all married to the nephews of the founding fathers, such as the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Xiao Yu and others are all relatives of His Majesty Li Er.

Even if the sons of other important ministers did not marry the princess, there were still relatives whose children were sons-in-law.

Therefore, the influence of the princesses returning to the palace will first affect these important ministers.

It turned out that when these married daughters returned to the palace, they were bribed and brainwashed by His Majesty Li Er one by one.

In order to please their father and respond to their father's call, the princesses returned to their husband's house and used their strengths. Resist the cold-blooded and ruthless Patriarch...

As a result, the courtiers who had already been overwhelmed by the matter of the Eastern Palace received not a gentle welcome when they returned home, but fierce artillery fire from the Detachment of Women...

This is so much fun...

After several days of continuous bombing, the humerus were on the verge of going berserk!

This must be the saint's revenge! ! ! !

To retaliate against them for forcing him to deal with his son, and now he is forcing his daughter to torment them!

Which saint in the history of Nima is as rascal as this one, flip the table!

His Majesty Li Er's Ganlu Palace smiled sinisterly:

You are only allowed to find me without pain, so shouldn't I be allowed to dig holes for you?

My daughter has been betting on your house for so many years, it's time for me to charge some interest~~~
