Chapter 3466 Loyalty and Filial Piety


Chapter 3466 Loyalty and Filial Piety

Li Zhi sat on the chair, lowered his head slightly and looked at Changsun Wuji who was kneeling in front of him, and asked: "Is there any imperial edict from my father?"

Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment and said: "Everyone knows your Majesty's wish. Now the East Palace is immoral and the world has turned its back on it, causing the soldiers and civilians in Guanzhong to come to the city to remonstrate. It is truly an eternal scandal! Your Highness's succession to the throne is justified and what the people want. Just..."

"I am asking you,"

He was interrupted again by Li Zhi: "Is there any last edict from my father?"

Changsun Wuji's mind turned and he said: "Of course there is a posthumous edict... When the rebel army outside captures the Taiji Palace and deposes the prince, His Highness can take out the posthumous edict and issue it to the world, and everyone will believe it."

There is definitely no posthumous edict, but what does that mean? As long as the Taiji Palace is captured, the jade seal is found, a temporary edict is written, stamped with the jade seal, and then promulgated to the world, then everything is justified. By then the overall situation has been decided, who is so full that he can question the authenticity of this edict?

The general trend is in hand, even if some people question it, it is useless.

Li Zhi sat on the chair, bowing his head and saying nothing.

Changsun Wuji secretly felt that something was not good, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, His Majesty's death was destiny, and His Majesty died in the Liaodong Army. Even until the day of his death, he was still obsessed with the fact that Your Majesty failed to succeed as Crown Prince. How can His Majesty, who is so sincere and filial, live up to His Majesty's love and trust? It is indeed destiny that His Majesty be promoted to the throne and then succeed to the throne. The souls of Your Majesty and Queen Wende can rest in peace!"

Li Zhi shook his head slightly, with a tangled expression, but still refused to speak.

Changsun Wuji advised: "His Royal Highness has always been determined to win the position of Crown Prince. Now that God has given you this opportunity, you should fight bravely and fight decisively! Don't you want to be promoted to the Crown Prince, don't want to ascend the throne and become the emperor, don't want to devote your whole life to completing the mission of Your Majesty? A legacy? ”

Faintly, he noticed that Li Zhi's mood might have undergone some unpredictable changes, which made him anxious.

And it is difficult to understand that this pheasant slave has always been eyeing the position of the crown prince. He has secretly done so many tricks and made many stumbling blocks. His only thought is to take the East Palace instead and become the heir to the empire. Then he will work hard to govern, expand the territory, and expand the empire. The Tang Empire reached another peak.

Why is it that the opportunity is right in front of him, and all he needs to do is nod his head, and Guan Longmen will desperately push him to that coveted position... but he is so hesitant?

Li Zhi was silent for a long time, then raised his head and said slowly: "My uncle has worked hard and thought very hard for my king's affairs. He drags his old body and travels thousands of miles to return to Beijing to take charge of the overall situation. I am grateful and deeply moved. Within five..."

These words made Changsun Wuji feel close to his heart, but he was full of doubts. Why couldn't I see even a hint of "tears of gratitude" on your face?

Then, Li Zhi let out a long breath and continued: "It's just the position of prince, or the position of emperor. From now on, don't mention it again."

"..."

Even though Changsun Wuji had been used to seeing storms and hardships in his life, he was dumbfounded at this moment. He almost thought that he had become deaf, blinded, and had auditory hallucinations due to age...

After a pause, he just came back to his senses, looked at Li Zhi in disbelief, and asked: "What is your highness talking about?"

Li Zhi frowned and then relaxed his eyebrows. He looked at Changsun Wuji and sighed: "The crown prince of the Tang Dynasty is the crown prince's brother. He was appointed by his father to tell the world and ancestors. Now that the father has passed away, then The prince's brother should inherit the throne and become the emperor. If he is a human minister and covets the throne at this time, how is he any different from a rebellious minister? "

Changsun Wuji looked confused.

He really couldn't understand Li Zhi's intention at this moment, and couldn't help but ask: "But hasn't His Highness been seeking a reserve position? Everyone in the world knows about this. Could it be that at this time, His Highness thought that the Crown Prince would forget it? From everything in the past, do you think His Highness has never had any intention of getting involved in the throne?”

Among your Majesty's disciples, there are not many who covet the throne. However, even Li Tai, King of Wei, has never been more eager to reserve the throne than Li Zhi. Now you see a God-given opportunity right in front of you. Even if you, Li Zhi, don't have to do anything, the Guanlong clan will push you to the supreme position in the world. However, you say that you will be a loyal minister and a good general, and support the crown prince's ascension to the throne?

This bastard must have taken the wrong medicine...

Li Zhi said: "What the prince thinks, that is the prince's brother's business. When I fought for the throne, I did not secretly frame the prince's brother, but blindly showed his talents and filial piety in front of my father. In this world It is my father's world. Whoever rules this world belongs to me. Therefore, I will only fight for the throne from my father, but I will never snatch it from the prince's brother. If my father is still there. This king is still the same I will try my best to fight for the throne and let my father know that I am the one most suitable to take over the empire. However, now that my father has passed away and has not left any legacy, the crown prince of the empire is still the elder brother of the prince, and no one can. Even Change! How can I ignore the prince appointed by my father, ignore the righteousness of brothers, and only pursue my own selfish desires? ”

Changsun Wuji stared blankly at the nephew he had grown up with, shocked and angry.

What’s shocking is that this kid has been planning for a reserve position for many years, and now seeing that the reserve position is easily available, he has made such an extremely stupid decision; what’s angry is that this “unfaithful, unfilial, traitorous and disobedient” man is just scolding his grandson Wuji. ?

This is really unreasonable!

Could it be that this kid bumped into a visitor today?

However, this is not important. The most important thing is that the Guanlong clan has exhausted all its wealth, gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, poured into Chang'an City, besieged the Taiji Palace, and was about to enter the forbidden palace and depose the prince. In the end, it was fully supported. His Royal Highness the King of Jin retreated from the battle and quit...

So what's the point of this military remonstrance?

If the King of Jin is not supported and the prince is deposed, no matter who ascends to the throne or even ascends the throne as emperor in the future, he will definitely define the military remonstrance of the Guanlong clan as "treason". No matter how great the Longmen Clan's past achievements and how strong their power is today, they will definitely be completely eliminated.

Even though there will not be a killing spree that will turn heads into rivers of blood, the direct descendants of each Guanlong family will either be killed in half or exiled for three thousand miles. This behemoth who has risen from the six towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty to seize the power of the world will be in his hands. Complete annihilation...

How does this make!

Just thinking about the consequences, Changsun Wuji felt chills in his heart and his whole body was cold. He no longer cared about the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers and stood up from the ground suddenly.

I stood up too hard, and suddenly I felt dizzy, and I almost fell...

Finally he stabilized himself, calmed down, glared at Li Zhi, and yelled: "This is ridiculous! There are tens of thousands of people in Guanlongmen, who are not afraid to make enemies of the world for the sake of His Highness's great cause, and shed their blood with their lives. Willing to take risks, We are almost done, but Your Highness abandons us at this moment. How can you bear it? You only care about loyalty and filial piety, but how will we, the ministers who fought for you, fare?”

Li Zhi blinked and asked curiously: "Where did uncle's words come from? Although I am grateful to all the Guanlong families for their strong support over the years, I had no knowledge of this military remonstrance in advance and did not participate in it, but you are Raising the banner of my king to depose the East Palace... Is this what my uncle said is all for me? This is really a group of loyal ministers and good generals who will be famous throughout the ages."

He is not stupid, how could he not know the purpose of shutting down the Long clan?

When we met in advance to start the rebellion, we were not told, and we were not even asked for any opinions on how to deploy our troops. It was not until the rebels entered the city and besieged the Tai Chi Palace that they seemed to have a sure chance of victory. Then we came forward to tell them - everything we have done is for Your Highness.

Why don't you try your best to downplay my influence in this military remonstrance, and then push me to ascend to the throne, so that I have neither merit nor prestige, so that you can override me and seize the power of the government? Is this king completely being used as your puppet?

After all, I am also a member of the emperor's bloodline, an emperor and nobleman. I am played like a puppet by you, and I even bear the crime of deposing the East Palace, mutilating my brothers and sisters, and taking it for you. This is a stench in the history of history. In the end, Still have to be grateful?

Mother!

All the dirty water is poured on me, but you let you swallow the benefits?

Go ahead and dream about your spring and autumn dreams, I won’t play with you anymore!

……

Changsun Wuji was angry and anxious, so he naturally understood the dissatisfaction and resentment in Li Zhi's words. If it were normal, he would have scolded and taught this self-righteous boy a lesson, so that he could understand that an arm cannot twist a thigh. By the way, Teach him how to respect his elders and not to be disobedient.

However, at the moment, he could only hold back his anger and try to persuade Li Zhi to accept the "good intentions" of the Guanlong clan, stand up obediently and inherit the throne, and then wait until the capital is pacified, then ascend the throne as emperor and decide the overall situation.

Otherwise, Guanlongmen Valve will not be able to end...(End of Chapter)
