Chapter 303: Persuasion
Liu Lei asked curiously: "Why is this?"
It stands to reason that Fang Jun pulled His Majesty out of the quagmire of "sinful edict" in one fell swoop, which must have made Long Yan very happy. It may be a bit too much to say that Jian is in the emperor's heart, but the honor and favor are even more, that is for sure. At this time, no matter what wrong things Fang Jun did, or whoever caused trouble for Fang Jun, His Majesty Li Er would do his best to protect him.
This man is making great strides on the road of being a "sycophant", making countless sycophants envious, jealous, and hateful. How can he not have a good life?
Liu Lei didn't know the reason. Although he was the Censor and a close minister of His Majesty, he was still far away from the real center, and he could not fully gain His Majesty's trust. Therefore, he could not fully trust him for all confidential matters. There's no way of knowing.
But Li Tai knew.
"My father has ordered Zuowei General Hou Junji and Zuowuwei General Cheng Yaojin to go to Laiyang together to arrest all the Zheng family in Laiyang. If this king's prediction is true, tomorrow's meeting will be in Laiyang. The date of death of Yang Zhengshi..."
Liu Lei was shocked: "Your Majesty is trying to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys! A while ago, these guys forced your Majesty to almost issue an imperial edict to commit sin. Now with the rain, the situation has suddenly reversed. Killing one or two will not only not It will cause a large-scale backlash, and it will also give reassurance to those wealthy families who are in constant panic!”
I was frightened in my heart because His Majesty Li Er's move was both ruthless and exquisite. It was equivalent to sending a signal to those powerful families: the emperor's tiger beard was not just something he wanted to stroke, but once he stroked it, he had to pay the price! But this time I will only kill one chicken, and you monkeys will watch carefully...
But as soon as his mind changed, he said with great joy: "Fang Jun is in danger!"
The fate of the Zheng family in Laiyang has been doomed. Those wealthy families will inevitably die in grief, but they dare not confront His Majesty again. This anger will definitely be vented on Fang Jun!
The energy that can force the emperor to almost issue an edict against oneself can still crush Fang Jun into pieces?
Neither can Fang Xuanling’s son!
Thinking of this, Liu Lei felt so happy that he couldn't help but laugh out loud. If this was not the residence of King Li Tai of Wei, he would have laughed three times!
Fang Jun, do you have this day too? !
There is no doubt that the humiliation and injury Liu Lei suffered from Fang Jun almost made him the laughingstock of the whole court. Even His Majesty Li Er, who had always valued him, became alienated after that incident.
Liu Lei wished he could cut Fang Jun into pieces in order to get rid of the hatred in his heart!
Now that the end of this guy is coming, how can we not be happy?
Li Tai looked at Liu Lei who was gloating about his misfortune, feeling slightly disdainful.
As the saying goes, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge after ten years, but after all, you have to avenge yourself! Such gloating over misfortune shows that this person is narrow-minded, cowardly, and has extremely disdainful character!
Are you dealing with such trash?
King Li Tai of Wei had some doubts about his past life...
"Your Highness!"
Changsun Chong's voice pulled Li Tai out of his reflection, and he only heard him say: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! As long as His Highness handles it properly, he will surely be able to win over the loyalty of the powerful families. These people stood behind His Highness and gave their full support. Isn’t the reserve already within reach? ”
Liu Lei also said: "What the eldest son-in-law said is right. At this time, the whole family is in panic, and they are all afraid that His Majesty will attack them. If His Majesty can raise his arms at this time, there will definitely be a crowd of people who will respond! In addition, His Majesty already prefers you as the crown prince. If you choose the right candidate, great things can happen!”
Li Tai's already somewhat silent heart suddenly started to beat...
What do these aristocratic families fear most?
What I fear most is that my father will support poor families and gradually deprive them of the privileges passed down from generation to generation!
You can no longer rely on recommendation to become an official. Do you have to go to the imperial examination with a bunch of idiots?
This is ripping off their spines and must not be accepted!
Therefore, they dare to risk the chaos of the world and the destruction of their whole family, and have the courage to challenge His Majesty, and dare to let His Majesty punish themselves by themselves!
As long as he can make a statement and completely abolish the imperial examination after he ascends the throne, and still use the nine-level Zhongzheng system for selecting officials inherited from the Wei and Jin Dynasties, he will definitely get the full support of these aristocratic families!
The energy of this group of guys has been vividly demonstrated in the turmoil that just ended. Even his father, who is as wise and powerful as his own, is just a little short of giving in!
The position of crown prince...
Li Tai's heart pounded and he licked his lips subconsciously...
However, as soon as this excitement surged, it was interrupted by another thought.
In this case, wouldn't he be on the opposite side of his father?
His father tried his best to suppress the powerful families, and even risked the world's chaos to completely eradicate these superpowers that could prosper and destroy a country. However, he had to openly oppose his father and go to the throne for the sake of becoming the heir apparent. Support these guys?
Can he defeat his father?
Since even the powerful emperor like my father is so afraid of these powerful families, even if I become the emperor, will I still be able to control the power of these families?
If you are not careful, you will be backlashed by these aristocratic families...
Li Tai shivered. By then, the Li royal family might be at the mercy of others...
On the one hand, the hope of competing for reserves has greatly increased, and on the other hand, the consequences are extremely unpredictable.
How to choose?
Li Taitian and others were fighting and hesitated.
Liu Lei said anxiously: "What scruples are there? If you look forward and backward, you can only accomplish nothing! Your Highness is talented and brilliant, and his talents are a hundred times better than the prince's! Moreover, Your Majesty has already been interested in His Highness, but it was only blocked by the ministers in the court. His Majesty wants to weaken the family by delaying it again and again. Aren't you afraid that once the new emperor ascends the throne, he will not be able to suppress these deep-rooted families, and his life will be in turmoil? Now, as long as His Highness takes the power of the aristocratic families and everyone obeys, your Majesty will only be happy, how can he be angry? "< br>
Speaking of which, he is the one who cares most about whether Li Tai can succeed in his bid for the throne.
He has always been arrogant and arrogant, thinking that his talents, courage and abilities are the best in the world, but he has to succumb to Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others. These veterans have been following His Majesty for many years, and it’s okay if they can’t compete with them by virtue of their service as a dragon. But why do even a humble boy like Ma Zhou want to climb over my head to dominate?
So he understood that His Majesty Li Er didn't seem to want to see him...
Liu Lei is well aware of His Majesty's character. He is extremely stubborn. If he doesn't promote you, it will be useless even if he doesn't promote you.
But Liu Lei didn't want to stop there. He was just a bookkeeper and a censor, with no real power at all. This did not show his talent for governing the world!
So, he set his sights on Li Tai, the king of Wei who was most likely to ascend the throne. As for the prince in the East Palace, Liu Lei had never looked at him seriously. He was lame and stupid. His majesty, Li Er, was too old and confused to really take the throne. Pass it to him!
Changsun Chong, however, smiled slightly and did not interrupt.
I despise Liu Lei in my heart. He is so old and still jumping up and down. How can he achieve great things with such impetuousness?
Moreover, he also found that Li Tai's state today seemed a little different from before.
If it were normal, if I saw such a huge opportunity, I would rush forward without hesitation. How could I think so much?
What happened?
Changsun Chong was thinking in his mind, playing with the lid of the tea cup in his hand, thinking hard...
Wei King Li Tai still had trouble deciding.
Give up, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Now is the time when the aristocratic family is at its weakest. As long as you express your stance, you can easily gain their support. If it were another time, even if I came to the door to send a greeting card, those guys with their eyes squinting in the sky would probably not even take a look...
Qinghe Cui, Xingyang Zheng, Fan Yanglu, Taiyuan Wang, Zhaojun Li...
Those are all beings who boast about not marrying the royal family!
I am really worried about accepting it.
To openly contradict my father is to slap my father in the face. Will my father depose me, the King of Wei, in his anger?
The most important point is what Fang Jun said.
If the father was really afraid that his sons would follow in his footsteps, would he still depose the prince and make himself the heir apparent?
Abolish the elders and establish the younger ones, which is tantamount to setting an example for future generations: It doesn't matter if you are not the boss, the throne can be won anyway!
And the father himself has set this example once, can he let his son do it again?
I'm confused. I sent the wrong chapter name, but I don't know how to change it...
