Chapter 3760: Desire is hard to satisfy
The Guanlongmen clan are closely related to each other, and they are deeply entangled with each other and their interests are involved, making it difficult to distinguish each other. Even among the royal family, they have many connections due to fighting side by side in the past, and they have not yet truly realized that they are already superior.
Therefore, during the Guanlong rebellion, few people in the royal family thought about "rebellion", especially since Guanlong's banner was only to depose the prince and establish a new crown prince, which further hurt the interests of some people. Instead of secretly Collusion and flirting are naturally out of the question.
But how could Li Chengqian endure this situation?
If you are as ambitious as King Jing and want to be the emperor, then that's all. After all, who doesn't covet the Ninth Five Supreme Being? But he had to help Guan Long deal with his own family, even if Li Chengqian was so generous, he couldn't bear it.
Taking a deep breath, Li Chengqian said in a deep voice: "How sure are you?"
Li Junxian said: "Although Chang'an City is full of rebels, the discipline is not strict, the deployment is unclear, and there are loopholes everywhere. Moreover, those people who secretly interact with the Guanlong clan are bound to gain their trust. Therefore, if supervision is not strict, the generals will eventually be able to The head on the item is guaranteed to be safe.”
Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "It's just to deal with some people who are attached to the traitors and have forgotten their ancestors. Why do you need loyal ministers and righteous men to die with blood? If something cannot be done, you can retreat in time and there will be no serious harm. But since you take action, you must have conclusive evidence. , wait for Gu’s edict to be revealed to the world, and it will be justified.”
"Here!"
Li Junxian understood the meaning of the prince's words. Killing the clan kings by assassination could indeed shock the entire royal family, so that most people would not dare to rely on Guanlong, thus damaging the interests of the East Palace. But the consequences are quite obvious, and it is inevitable that he will be known as "tyrannical and ungrateful".
Only by assassinating the kings who colluded with Guanlong and then searching for their evidence and publishing it to the world can the negative impact be offset as much as possible.
But everything is due to accidents. What if the kings who were killed did not leave any evidence in the palace, or it cannot be found for a while? Or did the rebels happen to learn about the assassination and stop it? What if the wrong person is killed?
evidence.
It is necessary to find evidence in his mansion that proves his attachment to the rebels and his rebellion. It is best to have evidence. If there is no evidence, you must have evidence to create evidence...
Therefore, Li Junxian often feels sad for his fate. He acts like the king's minion and offends countless people. Not to mention the shameful things he has done in private, which king can safely let him go? "Hundred Knights"?
It is absolutely impossible for him to leave alive. If the king is generous and trusts him, he can still be allowed to continue working. He will not be eradicated until the next king succeeds. If the king is ungrateful and unjust, he may be a cup of poisoned wine one day. Given.
I thought that the prince was a kind and generous person, and that he might have a good ending. However, in just a few days, he had already learned to be as ruthless as those murderous and decisive kings in the history books...
Li Chengqian nodded and said: "Go and do some work."
"Here."
Li Junxian hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to inform the Duke of Yue? After Baiqi's work, they can only take advantage of the chaos and sneak out of the city under the cover of General Guanlong whom they bribed earlier. They must go through Xuanwu The goalkeeper brought the evidence back..."
It was half said, but Li Chengqian already understood.
For such a major event, informing Fang Jun in advance and being informed by Fang Jun afterwards are completely different effects...
Li Chengqian hesitated for a while, wondering: "Although this matter must be handled, it is because of Qian Tianhe, and it is inevitable that he will be suspected of being violent and ungrateful. I am afraid that the Duke of Yue will blame me, and I don't want him to think that my killing is too heavy. It would be best for the general to have someone who knows... There are several secret passages in the Tai Chi Palace. Why don't the general enter from the exit of the secret passage outside the city? "
Li Junxian didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
The prince regards him as a humerus. "Only you know the best about such important matters." What kind of trust is this? But at the same time, this also means that if the prince has concerns about this matter in the future, he only needs to kill Li Junxian to completely cover up the traces...
Why: "The entrances to all the secret passages in the Taiji Palace are now guarded by the Sixth Commander of the East Palace. If the general leads his 'Hundred Cavalry' back to the palace, it will be difficult to hide it from the eyes and ears of the Sixth Commander of the East Palace, not to mention the evidence he carries with him." Unexplainable.”
Li Chengqian only struggled for a few breaths between "being known by Fang Jun" and "being known by Li Jing", and then said decisively: "Notify the Duke of Yue when you leave the city, and ask him to send elite troops to assist him, in case the general leaves the city." When the rebels intercept you, you can take care of them.”
"Here."
Li Junxian then took the order and left.
After he walked out of the room, the Crown Princess walked out of the inner room. Her slender body was dressed in a lake green palace dress. Her hair was meticulously tied into a bun, decorated with pearls and emeralds, and her head was swan-necked. Pinting Xiuya came behind Li Chengqian, put her white hands on the back of the prince's neck, and kneaded it slightly.
His voice was soft and melodious: "Why is Your Highness so troubled and troubled? In an emergency, you do extraordinary things. If you don't use such thunderous means to frighten the people of the royal family and let them exploit others and collude with the rebels, then this is your responsibility." He also failed the tens of thousands of soldiers and generals outside who fought bloody battles for His Majesty. Everyone should be punished for their rebellious officials and traitors, so Your Highness does not have to worry about them."
The husband and wife naturally understand each other and are well aware of the prince's weak personality. They always cry when they hear about disasters in the place. Why have they ever ordered the massacre of living beings? What's more, the royal kings whose blood is thicker than water...
Li Chengqian sighed, patted the princess's soft and slender hand with his backhand, and said helplessly: "You don't understand, the desires of the human heart are restricted by morality and laws. Now that the father has... given the current situation, Gu Da is probably He will ascend the throne and become the emperor. At that time, the supreme and imperial power will be in control, and billions of living beings in the world will be killed and captured. , you can get everything, but what you want will only be more. This is the case with "unsatisfied desires". If you can't restrain the violence and evil in your heart and let it grow arbitrarily, you will one day become uncontrollable and become a surly and cruel king. He poisoned the world, caused disaster to future generations, and was despised by the people of the world. ”
Desires need to be restrained, and they need to be restrained by morality, laws, etc. However, as a human emperor, holding the supreme power in the world, there is no limit to it. Murder is the same as women's sex. The more you do it, the less you take it seriously. When one day in the future you treat human life as nothing, then Li Chengqian's road will probably come to an end.
This is different from his pursuit. Although he is soft-tempered and has no independent opinions, he has been trained as a prince since he was a child. He still has ambitions in his heart. If he wants to make something grand and great that will be famous throughout the ages and benefit all people, how can he indulge his desires? Digging your own grave?
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty thought that he had once been a handsome and charming young man. As a result, once he ascended the throne, he became unscrupulous and regarded the country as a plaything in his hands. Billions of people were just chess pieces, and he killed and conquered just to show off. His unparalleled achievements caused a huge empire to suffer from internal and external troubles and desolation. In the end, he died and the country was destroyed, and he regretted it for thousands of years...
"When Wei Zheng died of illness, my father was extremely sad. He once said to Fang Xuanling, 'Use copper as a mirror, you can dress your clothes; use ancient times as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall; use people as a mirror, you can know gains and losses. I have tasted the treasure. These three mirrors are used to guard against one's own mistakes. Now that the Wei Dynasty has passed away, one mirror will be lost.' If I take history as a mirror, how can I not be cautious and walk on thin ice? "
"Your Highness is wise and has the appearance of a Holy Lord."
The princess's beautiful eyes stared at her husband's chubby face, as if she saw the brilliance that only the eternal Mingjun could shine, and her eyes were filled with admiration and infinite love.
Qishang Saixue's arms were wrapped around her husband's neck, her delicate body was pressed against her husband's back, and her voice was as soft as water dripping: "Your Highness, it's late at night, I'll take care of you and go to bed."
Hot and moist breaths spat on his neck. Li Chengqian's heart skipped a beat. He put his arms back around the Crown Princess's weak and slender waist, pulled her whole delicate body over and held her in his arms.
I couldn't help but think of what Fang Jun once said: Power is the best aphrodisiac for men. It is not only effective for men, but also has miraculous effects on women...
*****
Outside Xuanwu Gate, there is a guard camp on the right.
In the tent, Fang Jun, who had seen off Li Junxian, was sitting in front of the table, slowly sipping tea and thinking about things. He didn't come back to his senses until the aroma lingered in his nose.
Wu Meiniang, who had just taken a bath, was wearing a plain palace dress, hiding her graceful figure. The neckline was slightly open, revealing a large area of snow-grey skin, and the ups and downs of mountain love could be faintly seen, which was fascinating.
As if she didn't feel her husband's fiery gaze at all, Wu Meiniang stepped forward and knelt down next to Fang Jun. She tied up her long black hair with her snow-white bare hands. Two delicate white feet were exposed under her skirt. She was gorgeous and charming all over her body. All exuding dewy sophistication. (End of chapter)
