Chapter 4032 Li Er is furious


Chapter 4032 Li Er is furious

Li Zhi quickly stopped Li Tai: "Brother, it's hard for me to come to my house. How can I deal with myself if I don't even have a glass of wine? Brother, please don't refuse. Let's have a drink and talk."

He naturally refused to let Li Tai leave, and there were many things he had yet to say...

Li Tai couldn't refuse, so he had to stay.

Princess Jin had prepared a banquet, and the two brothers came to the flower hall and took their seats. Li Zhi dismissed the maid, and even Princess Jin drove away, and personally held a pot to pour wine for Li Tai. As a princess, she is probably just good-looking and not very bright. If the important matter discussed with Li Tai is revealed to her family, I am afraid there will be chaos...

During the dinner, Li Tai warned: "If you insist on fighting for the heirloom, I have nothing to say as a brother. Even if it is difficult for my brother to die a good death in the future, there will be no complaints. But if you can step back from the cliff and care about brotherhood, then we must speak the same words. No matter how angry my father is, he will never let go. If you dare to betray your brother, we will break up and never have any contact with each other until death."

One can imagine how furious the father would be after the two brothers announced their withdrawal from the competition for heir apparent. This kid, Pheasant Nu, is the most cunning. If he retreats under the pressure of his father, wouldn't he be the one abandoned? ? He was defeated before even competing.

Li Zhi raised his glass and made a toast, with a righteous look on his face: "Who do you think of me, brother? I still need to consider and weigh this matter, but as long as you make up your mind, there is no reason to repent even if you are attacked by swords and axes!"

Li Tai: "Haha..."

He knew the character of his younger brother very well. Although he was smart, he lacked a bit of perseverance and often forgot his loyalty for the sake of profit. Based on his promise alone, Li Tai didn't believe a word of it. But he has analyzed the matter clearly, and believes that Li Zhi can weigh the pros and cons himself. Not only will it be difficult to stand out in the process of competing for the throne, but even if he wins, when Li Tai unites with the East Palace, he, the crown prince, will not be able to sit firmly.

Character is unreliable, and neither is emotion. What is truly reliable is one's own interests.

Li Zhi also knew that what he said was a bit false, and his face felt a little hot when faced with Li Tai's ridicule, so he quickly had a drink with him and used the drink to cover up his embarrassment.

I feel a little helpless in my heart. I am still too thin-skinned, and I am not far behind those political bigwigs who just spit in front of others and tell lies with their eyes open...

"Want to rebel?!"

In the Hall of Wude, His Majesty Li Er was furious. He strode out from behind the desk and kicked his two sons kneeling in front of him to the ground. Still angry, he cursed with his halberd finger.

"This country was conquered by me, and it belongs to whomever I give it to, not whether you want it or not! Your wings are stiff, right? Do you dare to disobey me? Believe it or not, I will issue an edict tomorrow to ban you Sent to Mobei to live with Yi Di cattle and sheep, and not allowed to return to Chang'an for life? "

These two bastards actually dare to come up to me and say that they don’t want to fight for the throne or damage the brotherly relationship, so they wholeheartedly support the prince to continue to occupy the East Palace... You are all good people, and the brotherhood is deep and brotherly. It’s me. Father forced you brothers to turn against each other and kill each other?

Mother!

Now that we keep talking about filial piety and benevolence, have we forgotten the time when we secretly made a stumbling block to the prince during the fight for the heir apparent?

This is simply unreasonable!

Li Zhi was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, his head on the ground and trembling like a quail. He just wanted to escape quickly and never mention this matter again.

Li Tai has experienced more over the years. Although he was frightened to death when facing his father's anger, he still gritted his teeth and defended himself: "It's not just the sons and ministers who disrespect my father. It's really because I have limited talents and limited abilities, so I can't take on the responsibility." Great responsibility! As my father said, you conquered this country. Since Zhenguan, you have worked hard and worked hard day and night to achieve the glorious and prosperous age it is today. If you fail in the hands of your son, I will not be able to atone for your sins even if you die. ! ”

Downstairs, the servants were trembling, looking down at their toes, not daring to take a breath.

His Majesty has been irritable and moody recently, and several of his chamberlains have been beaten to death for making minor mistakes. If I draw His Majesty's anger towards me at this time, my life will be at risk...

His Majesty Li Er's face was red, and his eyes were about to burst into flames. He stepped forward and kicked Li Tai hard again, and cursed angrily: "The position of Crown Prince was granted to me by Heaven. Where is the destiny, how can you just take it if you want?" If you don’t want it, don’t want it. Get out of here!”

"Here!"

Li Tai got up from the ground, knelt down and kowtowed, then pulled the frightened Li Zhi and turned around and ran away...

"Bang!"

His Majesty Li Er kicked the stool over and sat back at the desk angrily. The anger in his chest was not exhausted, but he was more irritable.

Of the three legitimate sons, one is about to be deposed, but the other two are unwilling to take over the position of crown prince. Is it possible that the other concubines should be allowed to become crown princes? Not only is this unreasonable, but it will also cause Tsunade to lose order and lay the source of trouble. Even if he is confused, he cannot do that.

But after he was deposed, these two idiots really refused to accept the reserve position, so what should he do?

What is particularly important is that these two rebellious sons came to him today and expressed their sincere heartfelt confessions, saying that they did not want to compete for the crown prince's throne and cause a rift between the brothers. If this move spreads, they will be praised by all people. They are willing to give up the throne for the sake of brotherhood. This is the supreme kindness.

But what has become of Li Er since then?

The tyrant who forces his sons to commit fratricide!

Emperor Sui Yang has been infamous throughout the ages, but he has never forced his sons to kill each other. Isn't it true that Li Er is even more cruel than Emperor Sui Yang?

Mother!

His Majesty Li Er was so angry that he cursed loudly. When he was tired of scolding, he took two sips of tea and realized that something was wrong.

No one knows his son better than his father. How can he not know the character of his son? Previously, in order to compete for the reserve position, the two brothers Li Tai and Li Zhi had put a lot of obstacles in Li Chengqian's way, both covertly and overtly, and wished they could replace him. However, now that they are very determined to reserve the throne, the two of them have greatly increased their chances, but instead they show humility and filial piety. , claiming to have little talent and little knowledge, and disdainful of the reserve position?

There must be something fishy in it.

"Come here!"

"My servant is here, what are your orders?"

Wang De heard the sound from outside the palace and entered.

His Majesty Li Er took a few deep breaths and said in a deep voice: "Go to Li Junxian's place in person, tell him what happened here, let him understand what's going on, and then report back to me quickly."

"Here."

Wang De agreed, turned around and left, and went to the "Baiqisi" camp outside Xuanwu Gate to look for Li Junxian.

……

In the evening, Li Junxian, dressed in military uniform, entered the palace to see him.

His Majesty Li Er summoned him in the study. When he met, he asked directly: "What did you find?"

Li Junxian stood with his hands tied and replied: "Today at noon, His Royal Highness the King of Wei went to the Prince Jin's Mansion to pay a visit. They talked in the study for half an hour. Then the King of Jin held a banquet in honor of him. There was no one else serving him during the banquet. Not even the Princess of Jin was around. , so what are your two highnesses talking about? But there is one thing that remains unknown. In the morning, His Royal Highness the King of Wei sent people to the Duke Liang's Mansion in Chongrenfang to summon the Duke of Yue to Furong Garden. After the two spies, the Duke of Yue left the city and returned to the Youtunwei camp. Go out and rush to the Jin Palace.”

The "Hundred Qisi" is not monolithic. Since Your Majesty can have a secret force like Wang Shoushi besides the "Hundred Qisi", how can you not place an informant in the "Hundred Qisi"? Therefore, Li Junxian did not dare to hide anything and reported everything.

As for whether Fang Jun participated in it and whether he would be punished by His Majesty for it, he couldn't care less...

"Fang Jun?"

His Majesty Li Er was slightly surprised. He tapped his fingers subconsciously on the coffee table a few times and thought quickly in his mind.

Was it because the Prince of the East Palace was unwilling to be deposed that he rose up to fight? The possibility is unlikely, otherwise the people in the East Palace would not have watched Fang Jun being seized of military power by Guo and the Sixth Army of the East Palace being dismantled without being indifferent. After all, military power is the foundation of everything. Without military power, even if the East Palace What about jumping up and down?

The mantis arm is just a chariot.

If it wasn't the East Palace that stirred up trouble, it was that the King of Wei didn't want to fight for the heir and asked Fang Jun for advice. Fang Jun took the opportunity to give some bad ideas... and then think of Li Tai rushing to the Jin Palace to discuss with the Jin King. Not long after the wine table, they joined the palace to express their unwillingness to compete for the heirloom. How could they not detect Fang Jun's plan of "drawing salary from the bottom of the cauldron"?

Suddenly, his teeth itched with hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Immediately send someone to call me the second house boy. He dares to interfere in my family affairs. I will skin him!"

"Here!"

Wang De went to summon Fang Jun again.

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand to Li Junxian: "You can go and do your work. Recently, you have paid a lot of attention to those aristocratic families outside the city. If anyone dares to play tricks on disaster relief, report it to me immediately and punish them severely!"

"Here!"

Li Junxian quickly withdrew after receiving the order. He wanted to inform Fang Jun but it was too late. He could only hope for his own good luck and led his soldiers out of the city.

……

Fang Jun had already returned to the camp. After bathing and changing clothes, he planned to take a nap, but he learned that His Majesty had summoned him. Unwilling to delay, he quickly changed into a set of clothes, rode a carriage into the city in the rain, and rushed to Tai Chi Palace.

When they arrived at the door of the side hall, they saw a long bench placed under the rain corridor next to the door. There were two burly Imperial Guards standing on the left and right, one of them was holding a military stick in his hand, and they happened to be eye-to-eye with Fang Jun. Not good.

At the door, Wang De raised his voice and said: "Your Majesty has a decree to punish the Duke of Yue with twenty military sticks. After he is executed immediately, he will come in to see him."

A guard clasped his hands and said: "Duke Yue, I'm offended!"

Today, Fang Jun has become a banner of the military, with great achievements and unparalleled prestige. Even if he is ordered to execute someone, these guards will not dare to be rude.

If it were in the past, Fang Jun would have walked over to receive the punishment honestly. He would have screamed loudly before the stick hit him, and then the guards who knew how to torture would coerce and induce him not to be cruel, so he could only deal with the matter... …

But today, Fang Jun straightened his back, stood in front of the door and said loudly: "I am Fang Jun, the Duke of Shangzhu Kingdom, Yue Kingdom, and the Minister of Rites. May I ask Your Majesty, what crime should I be punished for?"


The voice was clear and clear, echoing through the drizzle in the courtyard in front of the temple. Everything was quiet. Everyone looked at Fang Jun with wide eyes. Was he going to... resist the decree?
