Chapter 2263 Waiting
Changsun Wuji agreed with Changsun Chong's judgment of Li Yuanjing.
Li Yuanjing is a rare talent with both intelligence and intelligence. If placed in an ordinary aristocratic family, he would be qualified to serve as the chief officer of the six departments. It's a pity that his character is a bit weak, he looks forward and backward when encountering problems, and he lacks courage. He is not a talented person who can achieve great things.
Therefore, Li Yuanjing would never go to the emperor to report Changsun Chong's sneaking back to Chang'an.
He was not only afraid that the incident in Huating Town would be revealed, which would make His Majesty Li Er feel murderous, but he was also afraid that if Changsun Chong did not end well, Changsun Wuji would take crazy revenge.
He is fierce, timid, and always scheming. This person is not worth worrying about.
As for what Li Yuanjing said that he would fight for Changsun Chong's absolution, just listen to it...
Miraculously, a short-term compromise was achieved between the two parties. Li Yuanjing did not dare to report Changsun Chong, but the Changsun family was willing to watch Li Yuanjing struggle and wait to reap the benefits. The two sides did not conflict with each other.
However, Changsun Wuji is naturally worried about the future of his eldest son. As the eldest son and grandson of the Changsun family, even if he cannot take charge of the family business in the future, he cannot live in a foreign land and live in exile, right?
Changsun Wuji ordered: "Go to the guest room, wash up, change into a set of clean clothes, my father will take you to see someone, and then leave Chang'an immediately. My father will also go to the palace to plead guilty."
Don't expect that Changsun Chong's sneaking back to Chang'an can be concealed from His Majesty Li Er. "Baiqisi" is definitely not a free man.
There are some things that His Majesty Li Er sees but doesn't care about.
This is a truly thoughtful emperor. Don't be fooled by "killing brothers and killing brothers to force father to abdicate" and think that His Majesty Li Er is evil-minded and ruthless. In fact, as long as his bottom line is not touched, he can tolerate anyone. , anything, far more generous than all the emperors in history.
Of course, the dragon has reverse scales. Once his bottom line is touched, the ferocity and cruelty that will be inspired are the cruelty and coldness that all emperors must have...
But there are some things that His Majesty Li Er sees in his eyes, remembers in his heart, ignores, and watches with cold eyes.
This may be the emperor who cares about reputation the most in history. He is willing to wait for those ministers with ulterior motives and rebellious intentions to jump out on their own initiative, and then suppress them with thunderous force. From beginning to end, he stands on the high moral ground and refuses to let himself His reputation is stained with even the slightest flaw.
So don't think that anything can be hidden from this bright-sighted emperor. He is truly aware of everything and can illuminate thousands of miles.
You hid something from him, and he thought you were rebellious. Although he didn't say anything, he wrote it down in a small notebook for you, waiting to settle the accounts together one day.
You said it bluntly without hesitation. He thought that although you were wrong, you were loyal, so he waved his hand and ignored it.
Having served His Majesty Li Er for so many years, Changsun Wuji naturally understood His Majesty Li Er's temperament very well, so even though he had always been at odds with the emperor and tried his best to protect the interests of the family, he always kept everything in plain sight.
I am working for the interests of my family, but I firmly support the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor...
This is the correctness of the political line.
As long as this position remains unchanged, no matter what situation we end up in, the eldest grandson family will be able to die well and bless future generations.
What needs to be explained must be explained clearly. I love my son very much and cannot bear the tragic death of my eldest son, so I ignore the national law and beat or punish you at will... Such an aboveboard attitude makes His Majesty Li Er feel relieved and will not care about it. After all, it is human nature; if Hiding it and being discovered by His Majesty Li Er afterwards would be a big disaster.
But before that, Changsun Wuji wanted to make a promise from someone.
A promise to erase all the charges against Changsun Chong and allow him to return to the Tang Dynasty...
*****
Dragon Palace.
Li Yuanjing left for a long time, and His Majesty Li Er was still sitting behind the desk, silent and silent.
Li Junxian stood aside with his hands tied. Seeing that His Majesty was still silent, he stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, do you need the general to send someone to spy on His Highness King Jing? What King Jing just said, the general I always feel that something is not true, maybe there is something hidden in it.”
His Majesty Li Er tapped his fingers lightly on the desk, making a soft "click" sound. After a long time, he suddenly smiled and shook his head and said: "No need. Since King Jing said so, I believe him. As the saying goes, 'kill the tiger' Brothers, father and son go into battle Bing, brothers must be of one mind. Now you send people to monitor. If it is discovered that what King Jing said is a lie and there is something hidden, wouldn't it force me to investigate King Jing for deceiving the king? ”
"The general will not dare!"
Li Junxian was shocked, but he would not be so deceptive!
To alienate the royal brotherhood?
It’s not unfair to chop off the head...
His Majesty Li Er said: "It's just talk, why should we take it seriously?"
Li Junxian sweated: "..."
You are the emperor, haven't you heard of Jun Wu's joke? Your "just talk" words might end my life...
His Majesty Li Er did not pay attention to Li Junxian's resentment and said: "This matter ends here. Don't send people to monitor King Jing. Even put this matter down and don't get involved."
Li Junxian accepted the order: "The last general will obey the order!"
His Majesty Li Er waved his hand gently and said: "Okay, you can go down for now."
"Here!"
Li Junxian put down his worries and left quietly.
His Majesty Li Er was the only one left in the hall. He was sitting behind the desk, his eyes slightly narrowed, his expression solemn and unabated.
After a long time, he stood up, slowly came to the window, and pushed the half-open window open. What he saw was the green flower trees and delicate flowers in the garden. There were birds chirping, flying and circling above the flower trees. .
Since ancient times, there has been no family affection in heaven!
Facing the supreme power in the world, who can remain indifferent?
When you get it, you must do whatever it takes to consolidate your imperial power, even if brothers are at odds with each other or father and son are at odds with each other.
When you can't get it, you should seize every opportunity to usurp it, even if it means killing your brother or forcing your father to abdicate.
This is the Heavenly Family, where the struggle for power is accompanied by bloodshed and killing, day after day, year after year, from generation to generation, forever.
Although I didn't understand what Li Yuanjing was doing behind his back, just by looking at him crying and begging, I knew that the so-called "brother-in-law" who was imprisoned by Jingzhao Mansion must have been ordered to do it. It was such a shameful thing that Li Yuanjing would rather take the risk of making himself suspicious than fish him out.
This was a bet that he, Li Er, would not want to stain his hands with the blood of his brothers again, and that Li Er would not want to be burdened with the crime of "killing brothers and killing brothers" again because he was happy with his achievements and cherished his feathers.
His Majesty Li Er saw everything thoroughly, but he also admitted that Li Yuanjing made the right bet.
If you are allowed to behave like a clown, what kind of trouble will it cause?
Since you bet that I will stand by and watch you go step by step, and wait until the critical moment to strike with thunder to bring order to chaos, then I will grant your wish and fulfill your wish.
This glorious Tang Dynasty belongs to Li Er, and he is the supreme king in this country. All living beings must surrender under his feet. Indulging you today is also a chance for you to rein in the cliff. If you change your mind and return to the right path, then all the mistakes you have made now can be forgiven, because as Li Yuanjing guessed, he does not want his hands to be stained with the blood of his brothers again; but if he is stubborn, If he insists on having his own way, Li Er will make those rebellious ministers and traitors understand that the price they have to pay for some things is absolutely unbearable...
Among His Majesty Li Er's many princes and princesses, who is his most beloved child?
Anyone who is familiar with the royal family knows that the answer must be His Royal Highness King Jin, Princess Jinyang and Princess Hengshan...
These three legitimate princes and princesses were smart, well-behaved and sensible, and naturally endeared themselves to the emperor. But more importantly, when Empress Wende died, she held His Majesty Li Er's hand and begged him to take good care of these young children. children.
His Majesty Li Er is a man who values love and justice, especially for his beloved wife, so he did it.
He took these three young children into his palace, raised and taught them personally, just like an ordinary family where two generations of father and son live together, facing each other day and night, and are extremely harmonious.
However, if anyone asks now who is the most miserable among His Majesty Li Er's disciples, there is no doubt that everyone knows that it is Jin Wang Li Zhi...
A turmoil caused by a fight for the heir apparent ended with Changsun Wuji being alienated by the emperor, and Jin Wang Li Zhi being imprisoned by the emperor.
In his own palace, the young Prince Jin had to stay in a prison with high walls and painted floors. Although everything was provided as before, there was never the slightest harshness or neglect, but he was not allowed to step out of the palace as a punishment. For such a young boy with an agile nature, this was more serious than any punishment.
At this moment, Jin Wang Li Zhi, who had just turned sixteen, was lying on a rocking chair in the yard with his limbs relaxed like an old man who was about to retire. His slightly dull eyes were looking at the sky through the branches and leaves of a locust tree above his head. The soaring eagles.
Silent and motionless.
It's as if time has stood still and my heart has stopped...(End of Chapter)
