Chapter 297 Guidance on your life
Li Tai admired his father to the extreme!
It's not that he hasn't thought about problems like Fang Jun's, but he firmly believes that as long as his father wants to do something, no one can stop him! As long as his father wanted to make him his heir, even if all the noble families jumped out to stop him, it would be useless!
If someone stands in the way of a person, he will kill someone; if someone stands in the way of a Buddha, he will kill the Buddha!
So he sneered and asked, "Do you really think your father is a vegetarian?"
That was the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty who unified the Central Plains in the sea of blood, and that was the Khan of Heaven who had the ambition to make all nations surrender!
As long as His Majesty Li Er is determined, who dares to stand in front of him?
Who can stop it? !
Fang Jun smiled and said nothing, poured himself a cup of tea and sipped it gently.
In fact, it was taboo for him and Li Tai to discuss this topic in the Tai Chi Palace today! Since ancient times, when it comes to the inheritance of the throne, there are both big rewards and big risks. Smart people always stay away and will not rush into this muddy water.
But Fang Jun is a time traveler. Travelers always inadvertently bring a sense of compassion and look at the whole world from the perspective of God. They always want to make more joyful things and less regretful things. ……
Fang Jun's mood was very complicated for His Majesty Li Er.
This is an emperor who has a long history and shines in the present, there is no doubt about it! Regardless of his character, no one can deny the great achievements he made. It was he who single-handedly created the iron soul of the Tang Dynasty, which allowed this country to traverse the wilderness and made this nation straighten its backbone. Thousands of years later, it is still the Tang Dynasty. Liufang!
It was such an emperor who could be called the only emperor through the ages, but he had the most miserable old age.
There is no doubt that His Majesty Li Er's genes are strong. Each of his sons is wise and wise, and none of them is a loser! Li Chengqian, the most incompetent in the eyes of the world, only gave up on himself when he faced pressure after his leg was disabled. Even so, he dared to join forces with the generals to rebel against his father!
How much courage does this take?
The arrogant, willful and arrogant King of Qi, Li You, knew that he would be imprisoned by His Majesty Li Er for the rest of his life because his subordinates shot and killed Quan Wanji without telling him, so he actually preferred to rebel rather than linger on!
Did he rebel to overthrow his father and become emperor himself?
no!
No one would be stupid enough to succeed in rebellion under the eyes of His Majesty Li Er. His Majesty Li Er is not only a wise and wise emperor, but also an invincible commander-in-chief!
He just expressed an attitude to His Majesty Li Er, as your son, he would rather die than be locked up like a dog! Even if I die, I will die vigorously, and will not die in obscurity like a dog!
Call it strong or headstrong, in short, this is a character!
These are the two most unpromising among His Majesty Li Er's disciples. Among the others, such as Li Ke and Li Tai, which one is not an outstanding person?
But the tragedy is that none of them have a good ending...
His Majesty Li Er can indeed give birth to sons, and each one is better than the last. It is a pity that he cannot teach, and all of them have been given the throne...
Fang Jun sighed softly and said: "There is another reason why Weichen thinks that His Highness will not get this reserve, and this reason is decisive."
After a pause, he asked in a deep voice: "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince inherits the throne in the future, what will happen to His Highness?"
Li Tai looked disdainful: "Even if you become the emperor, with that indecisive temperament, what will you do to me?"
This is not wrong. Even if Li Chengqian becomes emperor in the future, he is extremely afraid of his brother Li Tai, King of Wei, and will probably only reduce his power and restrain him. As for killing Li Tai, he probably won't have the guts to do it...
"I ask again, what will happen to His Highness King Wu?"
Li Tai frowned and looked at Fang Jun in confusion. Even close relatives did not dare to talk about this kind of topic. After all, it was too taboo!
But there were only two of them here. In his acquaintance, Fang Jun was known as a stickman, a coward, and a thief. People's affairs.
But so what if I tell it? Heaven knows and the earth knows that you know and I know. When the time comes, I will predict two, five, six, who will believe it?
"He doesn't dare to touch the third child. The concubines and teachers around him, except for your father, are all former officials of the previous dynasty. How could he be allowed to harm the third child?"
Fang Jun asked again: "What about His Royal Highness King Jin?"
Li Tai waved his hands displeased, as if he disliked Fang Jun's question as silly: "How old is Xiao Jiu? Besides, the prince is the boss, so it's not Xiao Jiu's turn to fight. There's no threat at all. Prince He’s not an idiot, so how could he not put on a good show of brotherhood and brotherhood for the outside world to see?”
Fang Jun sighed softly. After talking for so long, this self-proclaimed talented and intelligent guy still didn't understand what he meant. After thinking about it, he had already said so much and he didn't care to be more direct.
He asked: "Suppose that His Highness is established as the crown prince and becomes the emperor one day. What will happen to the deposed prince? What will be the fate of His Highness King Wu? What will be the fate of His Highness King Jin...?"
"My king..."
After only half a sentence, Li Tai suddenly stopped and looked at Fang Jun in horror!
Fang Jun took a sip of tea and said softly: "Your Highness...have you figured it out?"
Just for a moment, Li Tai's originally fair face lost all color. Big beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his eyes were wide and dull.
Everyone was confused...
There was only one sentence in Li Tai's mind: "I am the emperor, what about deposing the prince? What about the third child? What about Xiaojiu..."
His lips moved twice, but no words came out in the end.
Fang Jun looked at his dull and horrified expression and couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness will not say that he will kill his own son in the future and pass the throne to the prince's son?"
Li Tai was dumbfounded and said nonchalantly: "You, you, you...how did you know that this king would say that?"
Fang Jun took a deep look at the panicked Li Tai and said: "The final outcome is not what the minister thinks, nor what His Highness says, but... what His Majesty thinks!"
Li Tai was speechless.
If I were the emperor...
The deposed prince must not be retained. The one who was established as prince at the age of eight has been in office for twelve years. How many important officials in the court have sworn allegiance to him? As long as he is still here, when his father is gone, there will definitely be trouble again. How could he leave such a big trouble behind?
As for the third child... he is the flesh and blood of the former dynasty, the grandson of Emperor Yang. Who among the civil and military officials of this dynasty does not have some affection? Who knows how many people are on his side, overtly or covertly? No one dares to act rashly because of his father's actions, but once his father dies... can he hold himself back?
Therefore, the third child...can't keep him!
And Xiaojiu...
Since I can take the reserve position from the prince, why can't Xiaojiu take the reserve position from me again? They are all brothers from the same mother, so everyone has that qualification!
Do you dare to keep Xiaojiu?
It's not that Li Tai is so cruel that he insists on taking action on his brother, but that as long as that day comes, there will be no way out. It's like being in a torrent, and he can't help himself. Either you die or I die. !
Thinking of this, Li Tai trembled all over, and his clothes were already soaked with cold sweat.
He felt as if a piece of ice had been pressed down on his heart for thousands of years, blocking his breath and freezing him to the bone!
He has always been obsessed with seizing the throne from the cowardly and meek prince, believing that only he can better inherit the empire, continue his father's ambitions, and make the Tang Dynasty even more radiant and prosperous!
However, now I suddenly realize that I have been stuck in a mud pit for a long time and will never be able to climb out...
Since even Fang Jun can see this, can his father not see it?
Although my father won the throne in the battle at Xuanwu Gate, killing his brothers and forcing his father to abdicate was a lifelong shame, a shame that could never be washed away. Even if he traveled all over the world and was invincible, he had to bear it. A lifetime of shame!
It was a scar in the father's heart that could never be healed. It was like a tarsal snake gnawing at his heart day and night, making him miserable!
Will he sit back and watch his sons repeat what he did?
Absolutely not!
In a daze, Fang Jun's suppressed voice came to Li Tai's ears——
"So, Your Highness, do you understand? You will never get that position..." Could it be that this is my life, a life that has been destined and cannot be changed?
