Chapter 2577 Dark Clouds Shrouded
Hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Xiao Yu felt a tremor all over his body and his eyes widened in disbelief.
Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty framed his brother and plotted to seize his legitimate son, and then mutilated his brothers and killed them one by one.
His Majesty Li Er killed his brother and brother during the Xuanwu Incident, and later forced his father to abdicate and ascend the throne as emperor.
Are these two people traitors and traitors? When in position, absolutely not. History is written by the victors. Successful kings and defeated bandits are the same in ancient and modern times. Winners are never rebellious officials and traitors, only losers are.
As long as you can win, no matter what you do, you are not a traitor...
"Bold! Does Zhao Guogong know what he is talking about?" Xiao Yu was furious and shouted with his halberd pointed.
Changsun Wuji showed no fear at all. He took a sip of tea and said calmly: "I don't know why Song Guogong is so angry. Maybe he misunderstood my intention? I just want Song Guogong to know that the crown prince's position as heir apparent has not yet been confirmed." As solid as gold and as stable as Mount Tai, the talent of the prince cannot bear the burden of the entire empire. You know, I know, and Your Majesty knows even more. When I, the noble of Guanlong, sacrificed my life to help Your Majesty clarify the world and unify the world, I was deeply trusted by Your Majesty. Who else in the world can know the details of the royal family better than me, as long as I am willing? , maybe when the sun rises in the Ming Dynasty, the Duke of Song can hear the news of the change of throne."
Xiao Yu's expression changed and sweat appeared on his forehead.
He naturally understood what Changsun Wuji meant by his words, and quickly weighed in his mind whether Changsun Wuji could do it. After a while, he had to admit that Changsun Wuji was probably not lying...
All the previous plans and arrangements for the prince were based on the rules of a courtier and never exceeded the bottom line of the power struggle.
That's why the prince can sit still until now.
But once Zhangsun Wuji believed that the prince's existence had endangered the future survival of the family, he would probably take risks and kill him ruthlessly given his character.
As Changsun Wuji himself said, the Guanlong nobles, especially the Changsun family, have always had a close relationship with the royal family. No one knows how many Changsun Wuji's informants there are in the palace.
If he is cruel and wants to do something disloyal, even Fang Jun and others can't stop him, and even His Majesty Li Er can't guard against it... Xiao Yu even thinks a little deeper, even if he goes to expose it in front of His Majesty Li Er at this moment. Will His Majesty Li Er believe Changsun Wuji's ambition, or will he stop it?
His Majesty Li Er has been dissatisfied with the prince for a long time, and it has only eased slightly in the past two years. However, with his strong and heroic character, His Majesty Li Er must be picky about the kind and weak prince. In terms of personal ability, regardless of Wei Wang Li Tai Or Jin Wang Li Zhi, who is not under the crown prince.
In the unlikely event that His Majesty Li Er goes along with the current situation, and it is a foregone conclusion, he will make another King of Wei or King of Jin as the crown prince...
Xiao Yu was shocked and at a loss for a moment.
He thought that the crown prince's throne was still as secure as Mount Tai, but he never thought that once Changsun Wuji decided to take risks and fight hard, the situation might suddenly reverse.
At that time, if you side with the deposed prince or even the dead prince, what will happen to you?
The newly established prince will definitely be grateful to Changsun Wuji, and even now he has secretly communicated with Changsun Wuji. The control is in Changsun Wuji's hands. The comeback of the Guanlong nobles is just around the corner. As long as His Majesty, in ten thousand years, the entire center will once again It became the possession of the Guanlong nobles.
Just like when His Majesty came to the throne, half of the courtiers were born in Guanlong, and there was only one voice in the court. Even His Majesty Li Er had to swallow his anger and give in. The Jiangnan nobles and Shandong aristocratic families were suppressed and suffered terribly. Bullying and exploitation, no power to fight back...
After so many years of hard work and hard work in the cracks between me, I have just earned such a glimmer of light for the Jiangnan nobles. It will be destroyed in one day, and all the hard work will be in vain.
Both sides have opportunities and dangers. How to choose?
Changsun Wuji glanced at Xiao Yu and continued: "If I give up a son, I can keep Guanlong united as before for several years. This is the bottom line of the Changsun family. My second son cannot die in vain, and neither can the Changsun family." Abandoning my position as the leader of Guanlong, Song Guogong knows my temper and will use any means to achieve his goals. Whether it is an enemy or a friend, Song Guogong will decide with one word. I will wait for good news. "
After saying that, he stood up slowly, bowed his hands slightly and walked out of the hall.
Xiao Yu immediately stood up and sent him to the door. Watching Changsun Wuji's back disappear from the door, he couldn't help but raise his head and stare at the gloomy sky, looking at the clouds hanging as low as lead, his mind was as chaotic as the lingering rain curtain.
*****
It rained continuously for several days, causing the water levels of several rivers in Guanzhong to rise. However, the dams were firm and the river channels were smooth, so it did not cause flooding.
After the rain stopped, the sun shone for several days and the autumn air was crisp. The rice in the fields was bent by the heavy ears. The mountains and fields were filled with yellow and golden colors, which made the people in Guanzhong smile. The eight hundred miles of Qinchuan River rippled with the joy of the harvest.
There are still a few days until the autumn harvest, and Jingzhao Yin and all the prefectures and counties under its jurisdiction have made preparations. Jingzhao Yin has been issuing documents to various county offices, strictly ordering local officials to ensure the smooth progress of the autumn harvest during the autumn harvest. , coordinate vehicles and manpower to help widows, orphans, or poor and disabled families within their jurisdiction, so as not to delay the autumn harvest and cause these families to avoid unbearable losses.
The various military guards garrisoning the capital even dispatched elite soldiers to the county offices near their bases to ensure that public security in various places during the autumn harvest was stable, and that bad incidents such as gatherings of people to cause trouble, fights and riots were absolutely prohibited.
Throughout the ages, the autumn harvest has been the top priority of the year. During this period, everyone in the imperial court must strive to ensure stability in all parts of the world.
Food is the most important thing for the people. If natural disasters and man-made disasters cause the autumn harvest to be reduced or even eliminated, the consequences will be unimaginable. At the least, the people will rebel and the situation will be corrupted. At worst, there will be wars and dynasties will change.
The common people who have no food to eat are no longer just good people who are enslaved by others. They rise up and stir up trouble. In the blink of an eye, they can turn into fearless beasts that devour human flesh and blood!
Even the most greedy officials dare not make any mistakes during the autumn harvest, otherwise the supervisory censors who set out from Chang'an all over the world around the Mid-Autumn Festival will severely punish them for the crime of "disaster for the country and the people", and then the profound consequences. With his background and family background, he can’t escape the Dali Temple’s review and execution!
Since His Majesty Li Er, the entire empire has had only one attitude toward those who disrupted the Autumn Harvest, and that is zero tolerance!
……
Everywhere in the world is ready for the autumn harvest. From south to north, as the climate turns from hot to cool, the autumn harvest in the south has begun, and it is imminent in the north.
At this time, there was a grand event in Chang'an City. Princess Hengshan, the youngest princess of His Majesty Li Er and the direct descendant of Queen Wende, was married to Wei Shuyu, the eldest son of Duke Zheng and Wei Zheng. The engagement was completed and everyone celebrated.
His Majesty Li Er's prestige is growing day by day. The bad reputation of "killing brothers and taking things against others" has gradually faded and dissipated as he has been diligent in government affairs and worked hard in governance over the years. The common people are grateful that the days are getting better and better, and the officials can live and work in peace and contentment. I don't bother to care whether the emperor's personal qualities are good or not. As long as he can make everyone live a good life, he is a good emperor.
Wei Zheng has always been famous for his uprightness and outspokenness in admonishment. The people support him very much and think that he is a rare critic in the history. Although he has passed away, he still responds with great enthusiasm and sincere blessings to this marriage.
On September 13th, the entire city of Chang'an was decorated with lights and colorful decorations. Countless people poured into the city early in the morning to watch the ceremony. Jingzhao Mansion and the Ministry of War dispatched thousands of soldiers to maintain law and order in every corner of Chang'an City. People were walking on the streets. The streets are blocked and many streets are blocked.
His Majesty Li Er was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe. He held Princess Hengshan's hand and sent her to the Chengtian Gate. He helped her board the wedding car and watched his youngest daughter walk out of the Chengtian Gate to marry someone else. He felt as if he had let go of her. The big stone seemed to be empty and floating. He raised his head and looked at the sky above the tall and majestic city gate. He had fulfilled his promise to Queen Wende.
Outside the palace, flaming red firecrackers covered the street. When the princess came out of the palace, the firecrackers were lit. For a moment, the sound was like thunder in the sky. The smoke filled the whole street, and the firecrackers exploded. The cannon coat made of red paper was torn into pieces and thrown away. Red confetti flew all over the sky in the smoke. The momentum was amazing and the atmosphere was full of joy.
The groom's son, Wei Shuyu, was also frightened by this earth-shattering formation. Nowadays, he has developed the habit of setting off firecrackers during festivals, weddings and weddings. A booming fire can really enhance the atmosphere, but looking at the Tang Dynasty, who has ever set off so many firecrackers? firecracker?
I heard earlier that today's firecrackers were all made by Fang Jun. This brother-in-law's handiwork is really scary.
This is simply a waste of money...(End of Chapter)
