Chapter 3467 Scheming
Faced with Li Zhi's unreasonable behavior, Changsun Wuji was anxious, angry and anxious, but he could only suppress the anger in his heart and try his best to persuade him.
But Li Zhi was determined, waved his hand, and said decisively: "Uncle, there is no need to say more. If my father gave me the position of prince, I would naturally want it. But since my father didn't give it to me, I absolutely cannot compete with the prince's brother. ! Although I am not as virtuous as Kong Wenju, how can I imitate Qin II’s violent behavior? I have made up my mind and there is no need to persuade me.”
Kong Rong had a rare reputation as a virtuous person, so his move to pear was praised all over the world. His fame lasted for generations; in order to ascend to the throne of the emperor, Qin II first forged an imperial edict to kill his brother to steal the throne, and then massacred his brothers and sisters. In the end, the country was destroyed and his family was exterminated, leaving a legacy of infamy for thousands of years.
……
Changsun Wuji felt dizzy for a while. He couldn't tell whether Li Zhi was retreating in order to advance, taking the opportunity to demand more autonomy and power, or whether he really didn't want to fight against each other and fight against each other. Is this guy so noble? He never realized it.
But now looking at Li Zhi with a determined look on his face, Changsun Wuji was really helpless.
You can't just tie him up and sit on the throne of prince, and then ascend the throne as emperor in the future, right?
Anger rose in his heart. He glared at Li Zhi and said in a cold voice: "Your Highness is smart and has extraordinary knowledge. You should know the consequences of today's decision, right? I have done my duty faithfully, but I really don't want to see Your Highness go astray and end up without a good end." ”
This is a naked threat.
Li Zhi, however, was different from his usual alert and tactful attitude, and said calmly: "My uncle is joking, no matter whether the prince's brother ascends the throne, or another brother succeeds to the throne, my brothers love each other and are respectful to each other. How can we not have that?" This king has a way to survive What? Of course, if my uncle is unwilling and wants to steal the great treasure, then as a slave of the subjugated country and a criminal official of Li Tang, I will naturally have no shame in living. I should follow my father under the Nine Springs to atone for his sins. .”
Changsun Wuji's face was so gloomy that he could drip water, and he snorted coldly: "Your Highness does not know how to praise, and the old minister has nothing to say. I only hope that one day, I will not blame the old minister!"
After saying that, he ignored this bastard, turned around and walked away.
Li Zhi sat there blankly until Changsun Wuji left for a long time, then he took a long breath and collapsed on the chair. Then I thought of my father and how his personal expedition had ended like this. I couldn't help but feel sad. I covered my face with my hands and sobbed.
Wearing a ring and a jingle, Princess Jin quickly walked out of the back hall. Her beautiful face was full of anxiety and complaints. She came to Li Zhi and said quickly: "Is your highness crazy? Today, the Hecheng rebels entered the city. The purpose of the military admonishment is to promote His Highness to the throne, and Duke Zhao personally visited the palace to invite His Highness to ascend the throne. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how can His Highness refuse?"
She heard the conversation between Li Zhi and Changsun Wuji very clearly in the back hall. When she saw Li Zhi's strong refusal, she was so anxious that she almost jumped out!
This is the position of a Crown Prince, and His Majesty has passed away. Today's Crown Prince will be tomorrow's Emperor. Everyone would be overjoyed to have such a God-given opportunity to teach, but Li Zhi actually refused... She was almost going crazy. .
Li Zhi didn't want to cry in front of a woman, so he wiped his tears, raised his head and stared at Princess Jin for a while, until he saw Princess Jin and felt his heart tremble, then he slowly said: "A woman's opinion!"
< br>
Although Princess Jin was usually frightened and afraid of Li Zhi, at this moment, after all, it was a big matter, so she dared to argue: "I am indeed ignorant, but I know that such good things are hard to find in the world. Your Highness has always hoped that Able to take the crown prince Instead, do you want to become the prince of the empire? Why do you ignore the opportunity now? Don't say anything that your majesty won't give it to you. Those words can be used to evade Duke Zhao, but they can't evade the concubine!"
Li Zhi was a little embarrassed.
As a husband and wife, sleeping together in the same bed, they understand each other's temperament best, and they know each other's behavior style very well. Princess Jin never thought that Li Zhi was the kind of brother who respected his brothers. Otherwise, with the prince's generosity towards all his brothers, how could he bear to compete with the prince for the throne?
The reason why he rejected Changsun Wuji was either because he was out of his mind or because of other reasons.
But in her opinion, no matter what the reason, one should first obtain the reserve position and then ascend to the throne of God. So what if he was kidnapped by Guan Longmen? His Majesty also made a promise back then, and only then did he get the full support of the Guanlong clan, and finally he went against it to seize and dominate the world. But in the end, didn't he still suppress Guanlongmen Valve with one hand? It's a pity that His Majesty has passed away, otherwise in another ten or eight years, the Guanlong clan will be suppressed tightly, and they will never regain the power they had in the early years of Zhenguan.
King Jin can definitely imitate His Majesty. After all, the chance to ascend to the throne is fleeting...
Li Zhi could only shake his head and said in a deep voice: "The prince's succession to the throne is legitimate and smooth, and the government will transition smoothly. Even if there is a small rebellion at the moment, it is of no importance and will not overturn the country and change the day. But if This king relies on Guanlongmen Valve If you try to seize it, you will definitely be unnamed. In order to secure this country, I have to use the butcher knife to eradicate dissidents. How can I bear to kill my brothers and sisters just for my own selfish desires? "< br>
Princess Jin was angry and anxious, and was about to say more, but Li Zhi shouted impatiently: "You women, how dare you talk nonsense about state affairs? Get out of here quickly and don't bother me!"
"Hmph!"
Princess Jin was so angry that she burst into tears, stamped her feet, and ran back to the back hall whimpering.
Li Zhi sat alone in the large study room, rubbing his swollen temples, thinking about Changsun Wuji's words in his heart.
Indeed, now that the rebels are entering the city and besieging Taiji Palace, the Sixth Army of the East Palace can only defend but have no ability to counterattack. The situation is completely on the side of the Guanlong clan. If one of the left and right guards outside the Xuanwu Gate counterattacks and captures the Xuanwu Gate, the Sixth Army of the East Palace will have no choice but to be wiped out.
The general trend is in the hands of Guanlongmen valve.
However, Li Zhi always felt that things would not be so simple. It involved the ownership of the reserve and the inheritance of the throne. How could it be so smooth?
Something unexpected is bound to happen, but Li Zhi can't guess where it will happen. But no matter what, how could he dare to be held hostage by the Guanlong clan so rashly, thinking that the position of emperor would be within easy reach?
Once he sets foot on this road, there is no turning back, so he must be cautious and cautious. Even if he misses this God-given opportunity, he will never step into despair and never turn around again.
Next, we have to look at Brother Qingque...
*****
After coming out of Prince Jin's Mansion, Changsun Wuji stood on the stone steps in front of the mansion, looking up at the falling snow. Groups of rebels from various Long families passed by the gate and ran towards Tai Chi Palace. Fires ignited everywhere, lighting up half of the night sky, making the snowflakes falling in the sky more clearly visible.
The disciples of the Longmen clan who came with him came forward and asked respectfully: "Mr. Zhao Guo, how do you respond to His Highness the King of Jin?"
Changsun Wuji did not answer, but glanced at the firelight in the distance that reflected the red night sky, and said calmly: "When the rebels enter the city, they should obey the law and obey the law. We are obeying the destiny and carrying out military advice, not treason! If you pass on the order, if someone starts a fire Robbery, robbery, no matter who you belong to or what your identity is, you will be killed without mercy.”
"Here!"
The Guanlong disciple felt a shiver in his heart and quickly agreed, but then asked: "When can His Highness King Jin leave the palace?"
The purpose of this military remonstration was to depose the East Palace and help the King of Jin ascend to the throne. This is where the great righteousness lies. At present, the Sixth Army of the East Palace is resisting tenaciously in the Taiji Palace. The rebels have launched multiple charges and failed to reach the top of the city, let alone break through the city gate. This army composed of slaves, servants, common people, and soldiers is simply a mob. It would be better if the battle goes smoothly. Since it has been stubbornly blocked by the Sixth Army of the East Palace, its morale is naturally low. It is urgent for the King of Jin to stand up and cheer up, letting everyone know that Conglong Only when the success is right in front of you can you risk your life and move forward bravely.
However, Changsun Wuji avoided answering. He stood on the stone steps and looked at the snow for a while, then walked down the stone steps, boarded the carriage, and said lightly: "Go to Furong Garden, Prince Wei's Mansion."
Then, he warned again: "Send people to guard the Jin Prince's Mansion so that the rebels cannot rush into the Prince's Mansion, but no one in the Prince's Mansion is allowed to leave the Mansion. If you dare to break in, you will be killed without mercy!"
Several Guanlong disciples looked confused. They looked back at the gate of Prince Jin's Mansion, and then looked at Changsun Wuji's carriage that had already set off. They didn't know what was going on.
Is this putting Prince Jin under house arrest?
Since you want to help King Jin ascend to the throne, why go to King Wei's Mansion? The left and right just set up a puppet to facilitate the Guanlong families to seize the power of the military. Compared with the younger, less experienced, and relatively weak-tempered King Jin, King Wei Li Tai was not easy to control.
Could it be that something went wrong on King Jin's side?
Everyone looked at each other, and their hearts trembled. All in the name of supporting the King of Jin to ascend the throne. If something goes wrong on King Jin's side, then what the Guanlong families did today is no longer "military admonishment", but a veritable "rebellion"... That's terrible It's causing huge trouble!
