Chapter 2804 The situation is reversed
Changsun Wuji, however, did not take it seriously. He took the time to refill his teacup and said, "Your Highness, don't worry. The boats that I transferred from Jiangnan this time are all new river boats built by Jiangnan Shipyard. They are different from the flat-bottomed river boats of the past. Instead, it uses a pointed bottom, with a deeper draft and a more stable hull, even if the river Even if there is some floating ice on the road, we can still move forward. As for Liaodong, although the weather is bitterly cold, a snowstorm cannot seal the mountains and roads. What's more, all the armies in Liaodong know the importance of armaments, even if the road conditions are slightly poor. It is unbearable, and we must overcome all difficulties to transport the weapons to the armies.”
After a pause, before Li Zhi could say anything, he added: "What Your Highness should be worried about is not this, but yesterday evening, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to the palace to see His Majesty, intending to take over the command of the Sixth Command of the East Palace to the East Palace."
Li Zhi was so shocked that he almost spilled the tea in the cup, and his expression changed: "How dare the prince do this?"
In my impression, the prince's brother respected and feared his father. When he did something wrong, he could only lower his head and let his father scold him, without even having the courage to defend himself. Although the Sixth Command of the East Palace is nominally under the control of the prince, since the prince's canonization, his command has always been in the hands of his father. There is no sense of caution in this.
Since ancient times, the emperor's heir has been the prince, but it is the prince who the emperor is often most afraid of and wary of...
How could he dare to ask his father for it when his father had clearly not handed over the command of the Sixth Army of the East Palace to the prince?
This was obviously not in line with the prince's temperament and style in his mind, and it was really surprising.
Changsun Wuji looked a little solemn and said slowly: "Now it is not a question of whether the prince dares or not, but that his majesty has already agreed."
"..."
Li Zhi was speechless and looked very ugly.
In a sense, without the command power of Donggong Liuli, he cannot be regarded as a complete prince. At least it means that the emperor has not yet made up his mind to gradually transfer the power of the empire to the prince, so he holds the armed forces of the East Palace to make the prince Have some scruples.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the entire Eastern Palace's military force is in the hands of the prince, it means that the prince has become a veritable successor to the empire, has his own power, and can even launch treason under certain circumstances...
< br>
Father, what happened?
While supporting me in my fight for the heirloom and giving me full support, I also began to consolidate the status of the crown prince...
Originally, the wind was all blowing in his direction, and the public opinion in both the government and the public was more favorable to him. Many courtiers took advantage of the wind and moved closer to his side. However, without warning, the situation suddenly reversed.
Changsun Wuji also looked worried, and sighed softly, saying: "Now that the prince has obtained the command of the Sixth Commander of the East Palace, the next step must be to make personnel changes with the help of Fang Jun. Now the generals of the Sixth Commander of the East Palace will They were replaced by their close confidants, making these leaders as loyal as arms and fingers."
Li Zhi pursed his lips, his face was livid, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Fang Jun, it's Fang Jun again! I don't understand. It seems that he is such a powerful minister and the emperor's son-in-law. No matter who becomes the emperor, he must be punished." Why should he take such a big risk and take sides in the struggle for the throne? What's more, why does he think this king is inferior to the prince's brother? "
Ever since he was a child, Fang Jun didn't seem to be very close to him. He doted on Si Zi to the heavens, and even got along with the "bastards", "beasts" and "scum" in the words of his father, King Qi, King Shu and King Jiang. However, The only thing that separates me is myself.
Why does he look down on himself so much?
Why does he dare to look down on himself!
His Highness Prince Jin felt that he had been slighted and his self-esteem was a little hurt.
Changsun Wuji sipped his tea and remained speechless.
In fact, he resented Fang Jun even more.
He admitted that Fang Jun was indeed talented and outstanding, but he always boasted about his talents as a prime minister and assistant, which was a bit excessive. When it came to conspiracy calculations, planning and preparation, he was not worthy of carrying his own shoes.
But every time he got into a fight over the years, this guy was able to make all his plans go nowhere and he was in a state of embarrassment.
What went wrong? Is there really such a thing as "one thing defeats another", and Fang Jun is the enemy sent down by God?
He didn't want to admit this, but Fang Jun was always able to create momentum with some weird and jaw-dropping methods. The original glass not only helped the Fang family amass a huge amount of wealth, making it one of the best in the world. He even dedicated his skills to His Majesty and gained His Majesty's trust and favor.
Later, this guy improved the iron smelting technology, which greatly reduced the cost of iron smelting and greatly improved the quality. He almost completely destroyed the iron factory that the Changsun family relied on, and almost monopolized the imperial court's steel consumption. .
The advent of gunpowder technology completely laid the foundation of Fang Jun.
These real achievements are far from being solved by conspiracy. Especially now that the Tang army has begun to equip new firearms, such as muskets and artillery, which have greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness of the Tang army and made Fang Jun even more popular in the army. His status in the army is increasing day by day, and there is another military boss.
Who can easily shake such a solid foundation?
I don’t know where this guy learned these strange and obscene skills, each of which is enough to bring huge changes to the world...
What stuck in Changsun Wuji's throat the most was what Fang Jun said in front of him when he attended Wei Zheng's funeral.
"Don't move here, I'm going to buy some oranges"...
Where did the oranges come from in Guanzhong?
Why are you buying me oranges for no reason?
What does this sentence mean?
This is simply a thorn in Changsun Wuji's heart. He knows that it is not a nice thing to say, but he still can't understand it. It's so uncomfortable...
……
The nephew and uncle were silent for a while, and Changsun Wuji came back to his senses. Looking at Li Zhi who was sighing and looking sad, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Why is your Highness like this?"
Li Zhi worriedly said: "Now that the situation has reversed, I still don't know if my father has changed his mind again. How can I not be worried?"
Changsun Wuji shook his head and said: "Your Highness, throughout the ages, those who can achieve great things are all people with a strong determination. Even if Mount Tai collapses in front of them, their ambitions cannot be taken away. Nothing in this world is smooth sailing, there will always be something like this or that. Frustration and hardship, so what if the prince now controls the six rates of the East Palace. ? Your Highness, you must remember that your greatest reliance is not your intelligence or talent, but His Majesty’s love for you. You just need to remember that no matter what others do, you must firmly guard your Majesty’s love. Favor, as long as His Majesty still favors you, opportunities will always exist.”
The world belongs to the emperor. Ultimately, His Majesty has the final say as to who will be the emperor. The decision cannot be made until the last minute.
What's more, no matter which prince the emperor prefers, it is not certain who owns the throne. Countless people have usurped it through the ages, and even His Majesty himself has no chance to do so by relying on the "Xuanwumen Incident". ”, so he changed his fate against the will of heaven and decided the country?
Li Zhi suddenly became energetic, stroking his palms and saying: "Do you want to please my father? This king is good at it!"
Changsun Wuji was immediately speechless.
I really want you to please His Majesty, but when you say this... why do you feel something is wrong?
But having said that, Li Zhi is indeed well-behaved and sensible. He is very able to figure out His Majesty Li Er's thoughts, and he is indeed filial enough. Among all the princes, no one is more favored than him.
Of course, talent and intelligence cannot be ignored.
The reason why I often make mistakes and suffer from constraints has nothing to do with my own ability. It is just because I am too young, have too little experience, and have not experienced too many incidents, so I lack the experience to make prompt decisions. But all this can be gradually improved with age and experience. With Li Zhi's talent, His Majesty's favor, and his own full support, he is enough to compete with the prince.
Besides, what if it fails?
Now His Majesty is severely suppressing the family, and the political philosophy shown by the Prince has completely inherited His Majesty's will. It can be imagined that once the Prince successfully ascends the throne, the entire Guanlong nobles will face endless suppression and weakening, and the entire interests The group is doomed to fall apart, and it is not even certain whether the family and family ancestral halls that have been passed down for centuries can be preserved.
No matter how bad it is, it can't get any worse. Is it possible that the prince still dares to eradicate all the powerful families in the world without leaving a blade of grass?
The world must be in chaos...(End of Chapter)
