Chapter 3477: Coercion and inducement
Li You was crazy with excitement.
Prince? !
Crown Prince? !
How could it be his turn one day?
If he sat on the throne of the Crown Prince and entered the East Palace today, wouldn't he be able to succeed to the throne and become emperor in the future?
Mother!
Li You's face was flushed with excitement, and his uncle was really confused. With such a good thing hitting his head, there was no need to ask "What do you think?"
I definitely agree!
He opened his mouth to agree, and said something like "Thank you Duke Zhao for your support" and "If you become a great treasure in the future, you will definitely not forget today's kindness", but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly paused.
After calming down for a moment after being overwhelmed by the blood, I realized that there were many things wrong with it...
He tried to steady his mind, moved his buttocks, and asked curiously: "Although the East Palace is unstable, there are still King Wei and King Jin here. These two are the legitimate sons of our father, and they are naturally before us in the order. Why is Zhao Guogong To settle for the next best thing or to seek the far side instead of the near? ”
With Li Tai and Li Zhi here, how could the throne or the throne be given to Li You, the King of Qi? This is the next best thing. Li Tai and Li Zhi were both direct descendants of Queen Wende. They had the blood of the Changsun family and were connected by blood to the Changsun Wuji. Why did they bypass these two people and come to support him? This is to abandon the near and seek the far.
It’s really against common sense...
Changsun Wuji drooped his eyelids, feeling a little tired.
What kind of sons does His Majesty Li Er have? Not to mention that each of them is smarter than the monkeys, but each one has more correct ideas than the other. Even when faced with the temptation of being the most powerful person in the world, such as the throne and the throne, he can still stay clear-headed and think deeply about the pros and cons.
Compared with this, I am really far behind...
Only the eldest son, Sun Chong, still looks like that, but he has encountered something unpredictable. Now he has fallen into the hands of the East Palace, and his life or death is uncertain...
Taking a deep breath, Changsun Wuji looked at Yin Hongzhi.
He was exhausted mentally and physically at the moment, and had no energy to comfort and coax King Qi Li You to step forward and occupy the reserve position, and he was too lazy to waste words.
In short, if Li You still doesn't agree, then he will go to the King of Shu, the King of Jiang, the King of Yue... There will always be someone who covets this kind of power.
Yin Hongzhi hurriedly moved forward and persuaded in a low voice: "Do you still need to ask? The King of Wei and the King of Jin are the blood nephews of Duke Zhao, so naturally they should be given priority. It's just that those two people don't know what's good and what's good. He refuses to live under others, but he still dreams of reaching the sky in one step, holding the sun and the moon in his hands. How can there be such good things in the world, let alone Zhao Guogong? What do you think, the rebels outside who followed them into the city to rebel did not do it! If they put their heads in their waistbands and committed such a big thing as destroying their families, isn't it just for the sake of 'profit'? position, but refused to give them any benefits, they were the first to refuse!”
Li You frowned and nodded slowly.
If so, it can be considered. After all, he originally had nothing, but suddenly he got this God-given opportunity and had the opportunity to dominate the world. What does it matter even if he shares some profits? Anyway, no matter how much you give out, there will always be more left over.
But the King of Jin and the King of Wei would not think so, because once the crown prince is deposed, they are the first in line to succeed, and are naturally qualified to succeed the crown prince. It will be heartbreaking to force them to divide the benefits they have obtained...< br>
Thinking about it this way, I felt that the reason why Changsun Wuji gave up the King of Wei and the King of Jin and instead came to him to beg him to stand up and succeed him as the crown prince is quite reasonable.
Yin Hongzhi kept up his efforts and continued: "Your Highness, since ancient times, the struggle for imperial power has not tolerated any emotion. The winner may soar into the sky, holding the sun and the moon in his hand, but the loser will be doomed and it will be difficult for him to survive! King Wei , Jin Wang rejected Zhao Guo Sir, if you still refuse, Duke Zhao will have no choice but to go to King Shu, King Jiang, or even King Yue, and King Ji... Just imagine, if one of them succeeds to the throne in the future, how can we allow King Wei, King Jin and His Highness to do so? Are you enjoying wealth? ”
Li You was immediately horrified.
I almost forgot about this one!
There are rules for the inheritance of imperial power. The so-called "there is a direct descendant, and there is no direct descendant." This is the rule of succession that will never change! If the kings of Shu and Jiang really ascend the throne in the future, some people will definitely question the legitimacy of their identities. After all, there are both "direct descendants" and "elders" in front of them.
Those who are dark and dishonest will secretly collude with the King of Wei and the King of Jin to usurp the throne; those who are upright will simply show their chariots and horses to let them give up the throne to their elder brothers. After all, the law and the laws of heaven are orderly, how can they be "direct descendants"? Instead of establishing the "elder", let a person who is not a direct descendant and not an elder steal the throne?
But the problem is that once anyone takes that position, how can he possibly give in?
The only result is to try to make those "direct descendants" or "elder brothers" die of illness or die miserably...
Li You glanced at his uncle fearfully, speechless in his heart.
You are using coercion and inducement, a two-pronged approach, and you are not afraid that I will not agree...
Seeing Li You's expression change, he was shocked and frightened, Yin Hongzhi knew that the heat was almost over, and finally said: "If someone else is allowed to take the throne, including His Highness, it will be difficult for all His Majesty's sons to be saved. Brothers will fight against each other and fight against each other." Not far away. But if Your Highness overcomes all difficulties and takes on the great responsibility, you should save your brothers and sisters. , take care of family ties, and try our best to let your highnesses enjoy wealth and happiness. In this way, your highness's magnificent mind will shine through history and be praised by all people. Even if some people don't understand your highness's actions, what can you do? His Highness recounts his achievements!”
Hey!
Li You stared at his uncle with wide eyes. Was this because he had already found a reason to bypass several older brothers and go straight to the top after coercing him?
Li You was finally moved. Having said that, who would be indifferent to the position of being the supreme person in the world?
But there is one last concern right now.
He looked at Changsun Wuji and sighed: "It's not that this king is being pretentious. It's just that the rebel army seems to be unstoppable and the overall situation is decided. But after all, the prince has six East Palace leaders in his hands. They are all elite, and my father has already led them." The army has returned from Liaodong and will arrive in Guanzhong soon. What should we do if we still fail to conquer the imperial city within this period of time? ”
If he successfully captures the imperial city, deposes the East Palace and takes the throne as crown prince, the established fact has already been established. Even if his father returns to Beijing, Li You, who is backed by the Longmen clan, will not be afraid.
But if he fails to achieve his goal before his father returns to Beijing, and instead he stands up early to depose the East Palace, then in the eyes of his father, he has harmed his siblings and ignored family ties, and it is possible to kill him with one knife...
Changsun Wuji said flatly: "Your Highness, rest assured, this situation is absolutely impossible! Donggong Liu leads only more than 30,000 people, and now he is besieged by more than 100,000 rebels in the imperial city. There is no supply of baggage, no supply of troops, how can we How long can you resist? The Zuotun guards outside Xuanwu Gate have surrendered to the rebels and are willing to rise up and capture Xuanwu Gate at the right time! Therefore, Your Highness does not need to worry about this. You only need to raise your arms and wait for the East Palace to be deposed and ascended to the throne. ”
"That's it! Mr. Zhao Guo is really a mature and impeccable person in planning for the country!"
Li You sighed in admiration, his eyebrows dancing with joy.
When he thought about it, not only was he afraid that his father would return to Guanzhong before things were settled, how could Changsun Wuji not be afraid? He is even more scared than himself! After all, preparing troops to depose the crown prince was a capital offense in all dynasties, and the lightest one would be the Yi Tribe!
Without complete assurance, how could Changsun Wuji dare to risk his own life and that of his family? How could the rest of the Guanlong clan dare to follow him and do such a treasonous act?
"So..."
Changsun Wuji looked at Li You and asked, "Did His Highness agree?"
Li You thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and nodded: "As my uncle said, how can I, the king, watch the other brothers fight against each other and fight each other for the position of the crown prince? Even if there is infamy, I will bear it with all my strength. All I want is I can protect all brothers to enjoy wealth and good health for the rest of their lives!”
Changsun Wuji put his palms in his hands and laughed, praising: "His Royal Highness is a model of generosity, brotherhood, brotherhood and respect for brothers and sisters! The kings of Wei and Jin only care about interests and trade-offs, but they ignore the country and the country. How stupid! Your Highness now. If you have the courage to take on big responsibilities and step forward, you will surely make the world stable, people will rely on you, and create unprecedented achievements! ”
Although he was saying words of praise, he was really relieved in his heart.
Fortunately, the King of Qi, Li You, was so stupid that he did not have the wisdom of the King of Wei or the King of Jin to assess the situation and not accept the inferiority of others, nor the King of Wei or the King of Jin who would rather be a jade to pieces than a piece of brick!
Otherwise, he would have to go to the next house and spend his time looking for the King of Shu, King Jiang, King of Yue and others...
Now that Li You had agreed, in order to avoid long nights and endless dreams, he quickly ordered Yin Hongzhi: "Immediately prepare the crown and royal robes for His Highness. Later, he will draft an edict and announce it to the world, ordering the Hecheng rebels to bring order to the chaos and depose the East Palace!" (End of this chapter!) )
