The conspiracy behind Chapter 1258
Li Chengqian sighed and frowned, and Fang Jun was also helpless.
It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs, let alone the emperor's home? It is completely unreasonable and irrational for parents to prefer which child they prefer. How can outsiders advise?
Fang Jun also slandered His Majesty Li Er.
It's your own business that you like Li Tai more than Li Chengqian, but how can you think of Yi Chu again and again because of this? History has taught us that deposed princes rarely end well. Even if Li Chengqian doesn't care about the position of prince, can he still care about his own life? It's so easy to save money every day. What do you want Li Chengqian to think?
Historically, Li Chengqian conspired with Fang Yiai, Du He and others to launch a coup. Maybe he was forced to do so by His Majesty Li Er personally...
Li Chengqian was worried for a while, then suddenly raised his head and stared at Fang Jun, saying: "My father has always been dissatisfied with Gu. To a large extent, it is because Gu has never done anything in political affairs. If Gu does a few beautiful and important things, , do you think my father will feel relieved that he no longer has any thoughts of easy storage? ”
Fang Jun scratched his head: "That's the truth... But the question is, what big things need you to do?"
As a prince, how can you always want to be in the limelight?
If the limelight is too great, it will arouse the suspicion of the emperor. Not to mention that father, father and son are connected by blood. In front of the supreme throne in the world, everything is just a cloud...
However, as dormant and docile as he was in front of him, the emperor thought that the prince was incompetent. He thought deeply about the good things of Wei King Li Tai, and became increasingly dissatisfied with the prince. If this dissatisfaction gradually deepens over time, according to His Majesty Li Er's strong temper, who knows whether the Yi Chu issue will be brought up again?
Fang Jun sighed, Li Chengqian was unlucky enough to have such a father-in-law...
Li Chengqian stared at Fang Jun with burning eyes: "Big things...of course there are some."
Fang Jun was stunned for a moment, looking at Li Chengqian's expression, he said in disbelief: "Is His Highness going to talk about the renovation of the east and west cities again?"
Li Chengqian nodded and said: "It depends on whether Erlang is willing to give Gu a share of this huge contribution."
At present, apart from the use of troops in the Western Region, the renovation of the east and west cities is a major event.
As a prince, it is naturally impossible for him to lead an army to fight abroad. Who knows if he will go crazy and lead an army to attack the capital to usurp the throne? Since it was impossible for Li Chengqian to use troops in the Western Regions, the reconstruction of the eastern and western cities was naturally the best opportunity.
Massive capital investment, huge construction scale, and far-reaching political influence... Once Li Chengqian intervenes in the renovation projects of the east and west cities and finally achieves perfect results, it will just show his ability. How can he not make His Majesty Li Er very happy?
Fang Jun was startled and asked: "Who came up with this bad idea? Is it Du He, the rabbit? Or is it the idiots like Li Anyan?"
Li Chengqian was stunned, and then said angrily: "Is Erlang really a fool? Du He is a man who sleeps in flowers, sleeps in willows, fights with cocks, and walks birds, but who knows anything about the affairs of the court? As for Li Anyan and others... thanks to you. , how can I come to Gu’s presence easily?”
Fang Jun initially deceived Li Anyan and others into sending some members of his family to join the "Navy Stormtroopers" and promised to share in all the seizures on the battlefield. As a result, these tribesmen, who were regarded by the major aristocratic families as being of average wealth, would become the main combat force of the navy and would never return. The profits from the suppression of bandits in Jiangnan were donated to His Majesty Li Er by Fang Jun in the name of the prince, forcing Li Anyan and others to reluctantly donate.
Since then, Li Anyan and other members of Li Chengqian's team thought that Li Chengqian had tricked them and used their money to please His Majesty Li Er. They began to separate from Li Chengqian, and eventually broke up and changed their families...
It can be regarded as ruining Li Chengqian's reputation.
At this time, Fang Jun mentioned Li Anyan and Du He, how could Li Chengqian not be angry?
Fang Junqi said: "Then your Highness, please tell me, who came up with such a bad idea?"
Li Chengqian was a little sad, and he softened his tone and said: "What do you mean, do you not intend to give a share of the credit to Gu? Erlang, you are already a feudal official and an important minister of the imperial court at a young age. If there is no progress, what's the use of having great achievements? You have been planning the renovation plan of Xiliang City for a long time, and you have put a lot of effort into it. If I intervene, I will take it from you. But I am in an extremely embarrassing situation, so I have to do this this time. I remember in my heart that I will make it up to you in the future, okay?”
The dignified prince actually spoke in a low voice, which shows how confused Li Chengqian is at this moment, and he has already regarded the renovation of the east and west cities as a life-saving straw.
But...
"Your Highness clearly knows that the reconstruction of the east and west cities has far-reaching consequences. The various forces involved are so complicated that they are almost at odds with the top sects in the world. This is something that offends people! As His Highness said, I am grateful to Your Majesty. Love is in a high position, already There is no promotion, so you are not afraid of offending others. But His Highness is different! You are the prince, the future emperor, and the leader of the empire. How can you offend all the noble families in the world with such a reputation of competing for the benefit of the people? All over? ”
Fang Jun tried his best to persuade Li Chengqian to give up this stupid idea.
Your position as the heir apparent is already shaky. If you offend all the noble families again, you may have to step down in the blink of an eye...
Do you really think that these aristocratic families are vegetarians?
Li Chengqian was a little unhappy and said: "Why do you need to be alarmist, Erlang? Isn't my father also trying his best to attack aristocratic families and support poor families?"
It's just a response to the emperor's father's policy. This is a politically correct behavior. How can it be as serious as Fang Jun said?
Fang Jun asked back: "If that's the case, then why doesn't Your Majesty come forward in person, instead of withdrawing the ministers and using them as knives?"
Li Chengqian was stunned.
Yes, the father is dedicated to suppressing the noble families, but why does he push Fang Jun to the front desk while he himself is firmly in charge of the Tai Chi Palace? It should be noted that since Fang Jun was promoted to Jing Zhaoyin, the overt and covert struggle with the family members has never stopped. He has been plotted by the family members several times, and even almost lost his life...
Why even when Fang Jun was in the most dangerous situation, his father always looked on with cold eyes and never intervened personally?
Li Chengqian broke out in cold sweat and shivered.
If he really snatched the power to renovate the east and west cities from Fang Jun, wouldn't he make the family members hate him to the bone? These guys have been lawless since ancient times, and they can't do anything against Fang Jun. Fang Jun is not afraid of losing his official position, being demoted, or even risking his life, but what about himself?
At that time, all the aristocratic families will definitely try their best to unite to persuade the father to depose themselves as the crown prince...
Seeing that he had come to his senses, Fang Jun asked in a deep voice: "Who gave His Highness this idea? This is not to help His Highness stabilize his position. This is simply to draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron and make His Highness desperate!"
Li Chengqian wiped his sweat, looked very troubled, shook his head and said: "No, no, the child slave is just a young boy. Although he is married, he is young and does not know much about the court situation. He is just not very good-hearted. I just did something bad, I would never harm Gu Gu..."
Fang Jun was stunned.
"Who? His Royal Highness King Jin?"
"It was Zhinu who told Gu about this matter... It is indeed inappropriate at this time, but Zhinu definitely wants to help Gu, but he has limited knowledge and has not thought through the key points. Zhinu is pure and filial, brother. Youdi Gong, you are so innocent and kind, how could you intentionally harm me? No, absolutely not.”
Li Chengqian hurriedly asked Li Zhi to tell the difference, fearing that Fang Jun would misunderstand.
Fang Jun raised his eyebrows, it was actually Li Zhi?
He didn’t know what Li Zhi had in mind when he encouraged Li Chengqian to compete with him for the right to renovate the east and west cities. Is it true that good intentions led to bad things, as Li Chengqian said, or was there a conspiracy at all...
But what he knows is that this kid Li Zhi is definitely not simple!
Extremely pure and filial?
Haha, being able to hook up with dad's little wife when dad is seriously ill, is this called filial piety?
Brothers, friends and brothers?
After taking the throne, several brothers died one after another. Although the circumstances were different, the results were the same. How could there be no hidden reason here? Even if these brothers all bring their own fault and each has his own way of dying, do they really mean that they all deserve to die? Ignoring the deaths of brothers one after another and letting it go as an emperor, is this called respect between brothers and brothers?
Innocent and kind?
Watching his little wife turning his wife into a "human pig" and turning a blind eye, this kind of behavior of spoiling a concubine and destroying his wife has been despised by the world since ancient times. Is this called innocence and kindness?
Fang Jun squinted his eyes, his heart pounding. (End of chapter)
