Chapter 4061 Blocking the Street and Yelling
Listening to the people on the street praising him, Li Tai felt happy in his heart, but his face still looked indignant. He pointed at Xiao Yu: "However, how can such traitors frame me like this and not be recognized by the world as being ordered by the King of Jin?" ? After all, I have been splashed with dirty water, and I cannot become the crown prince. The one who benefits the most is the King of Jin... ...Everyone, these villains are doing it for their own selfish purposes, so that the King of Jin will be ridiculed by the world for being duplicitous and sinister. They say words of uprightness and unparalleled filial piety, but secretly they are doing things to frame their elder brothers... Now the reputation of the King of Jin has been ruined, and it is all the fault of these traitors!”
Pedestrians on the street looked at each other, not knowing that there was such an open and secret fight in the court, but they were in high spirits and pricked up their ears to hear the truth.
The Chinese people's habit of joining in the fun is a gift from heaven. It has never been like this throughout the ages...
Xiao Yu's face had darkened. Even though he had gone through two dynasties and his heart was as solid as stone, he was still angry and anxious at this moment.
At this time, the pedestrians blocked on the street were all neighbors, but how could the people who were adjacent to the Duke of Song's mansion be ordinary merchants? Almost all of them are officials and relatives of the DPRK and China. If Li Tai is allowed to speak nonsense here, the impact will be extremely serious.
Your Majesty is easy to transfer, and there is a high probability that the new heir will choose one of the kings of Wei and Jin. However, no matter what the choice is, His Majesty must have complete control and comprehensive consideration. He will never allow others to intervene or interfere, let alone seem to do so. A powerful minister like himself assisted one of the princes and used various conspiracies to frame and suppress the other prince.
Even if the minister must rely on one of the two princes for his own benefit, this is inevitable, but it cannot be brought to the table in a big way, thus affecting His Majesty's judgment.
The reason why he complained that the King of Jin should not come to the door in person was for this reason...
He quickly cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness reprimanded the old minister, and the old minister listened attentively, but please invite Your Highness to sit in the mansion, so as not to have too many eyes and ears here, and spread the word to damage His Highness's reputation."
You are a prince, His Highness, and one of the candidates for the throne. Are you not afraid of being considered "harsh, narrow-minded" and "without grace" by openly admonishing a highly respected veteran?
"Hoo!"
Li Tai came well prepared, sneered twice, and stood motionless in front of the door. Instead, he became louder and louder: "Now I don't know how many people in the court have harmed my reputation. They have confounded right and wrong and slandered me. How can I have a good reputation? We don't make distinctions today." I just want to explain the difference between respect and inferiority, and let the neighbors testify and comment on the merits.”
The old fox's every sentence is full of pitfalls, what is "exhortation"? If we really entered his house, I don’t know how this old thief would spread rumors that I came to pick a fight. Hum hum, I will have a heated debate in front of your gate to see who others believe!
When Xiao Yu saw Li Tai being so generous, he suddenly had a headache. He had not calculated that his plan to slander Li Tai would not only make him unable to dismount, but also lead to Li Tai blocking the door directly...
In the officialdom, there are many rules. It doesn't matter if you suffer a loss for a while, but you must stabilize your position and stop the loss in time. You cannot bring all kinds of fighting methods behind the scenes to the table. Otherwise, you will still be embarrassed. But who would have thought that Li Tai doesn't care at all. These rules directly overturned the table?
After all, Li Tai is the king, and he, Xiao Yu, is the minister. Li Tai can stand in front of the door and block the street and yell, but he can only hold his nose and listen.
And once the news reaches His Majesty, how can His Majesty not be afraid that King Jin and Xiao Yu secretly join forces, what kind of threat will it pose to the Crown Prince and King Wei?
It seems that Li Tai is messing around, but in fact he hits the key point, and in one fell swoop he reverses the backward situation caused by impeachment and slander.
This is a talent...
Seeing Xiao Yu's face was dark and silent, Li Tai knew that Fang Jun's trick was indeed effective, so he was naturally confident and said angrily: "Our princes are all the heirs of our father. Who the father appoints as the crown prince is a family matter." , my brothers are still as friendly and affectionate as ever. , but you, the Duke of Song, have conspired and interfered by means of tricks. Is it because the pheasant slave is young and ignorant, making it easy for you and others to seduce and kidnap him? Therefore, you want to imitate the likes of Huo Guang and Liang Ji in controlling the government, fooling the young master, and becoming a powerful minister who can control the sky with one hand? "
Pedestrians on the street covered their mouths in fear, their ears pricked up and their eyes brightened. This was a big event!
Being able to live next to the Duke of Song Dynasty, even if he is not an official, he is also a wealthy man, and he is well-educated. Naturally, he knows powerful ministers like Huo Guang and Liang Ji. Is it possible that the Duke of Song really has this ambition and wants to turn His Highness the King of Jin into a puppet in order to achieve the goal of overwhelming power? The purpose of the world?
Many people even exclaimed, looking at Xiao Yu and pointing...
These words are simply heartbreaking!
Xiao Yu's lungs were about to burst with anger. Since His Majesty is easy to store, the courtiers will choose sides. This is inevitable. His Majesty obviously also acquiesces. As for who is right or wrong in the end, it is fate. But Li Tai's shouting immediately put him in a position of "interfering with the ownership of the reserve"!
Ministers can choose different princes to support according to their own interests, but who will be the throne can only be decided by His Majesty Gan Gang!
If you are allowed to be manipulated by powerful ministers, where will your Majesty be placed?
A foolish king under duress?
Furthermore, Huo Guang was the orphan of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty when he was dying, and he came to the throne at the age of eight. When Liang Ji exercised power, Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty died, and Emperor Chong was only two years old when he came to the throne. After that, he supported Emperor Zhi of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty. They are all young... Now that His Majesty is in his prime, and the King of Jin is already married, how can he imitate Huo Guang and Liang Ji, even if he is so talented as Xiao Yu?
But the emperor is the most jealous. Such words that are close to spitting sound nonsense, but they point directly at the imperial power. Who knows what His Majesty will think after hearing this!
Xiao Yu held his breath, with a cold face, and said with a flick of his sleeves: "His Highness is making irresponsible remarks and confusing right and wrong. It is really out of character! It is already late at this time, so I will not stay with Your Highness, so I will send you off respectfully."
I can’t afford to offend you, but I can’t afford to hide from you? Get out of here quickly...
Li Tai blinked his eyes and saw that although Xiao Yu was only wearing regular clothes, he was very neat. Even the crown on his head was neat and tidy... Who would be so strict and tidy at home among ordinary people?
We have guests in our house...
So, Li Tai straightened his clothes and looked inside the mansion door: "I've talked a lot today, and I'm a little thirsty. Why don't I go to the door and ask for a glass of water. I'm sure Song Guogong won't refuse, right?"
Xiao Yu was startled. King Jin was in the study at the moment. If Li Tai was allowed to go in and bump into him, wouldn't it make the trouble worse?
Although the King of Jin's visit to the door is full of thoughtful people, knowing about it afterwards is completely different from confronting him in person...
He hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness has a golden body and golden branches. It is difficult to ensure safety after midnight. How about returning home first and the old ministers will host a banquet for His Highness tomorrow?"
Li Tai became more and more certain that there was someone hiding in the house, maybe it was the boy Zhi Nu...
He smiled and stood motionless at the door: "What the Duke of Song said is wrong. Although I am noble, I am not a man inlaid with gold and jade. Why are there so many people who are unfavorable to me? This is the Tang Dynasty inside and outside Chang'an, and it is definitely not the case. There are those ruthless thieves who are up to no good.”
Xiao Yu's beard moved and he was very angry.
What does it mean to be a "bad-hearted thief"? How can you curse someone?
But he really didn't dare to let Li Tai enter the house, so he had to stand at the door and refused to give way, and tactfully dissuaded him: "Your Highness is extremely intelligent, and none of your Majesty's disciples are as good as him. However, the reason why he was slandered and criticized by the government and the public this time is because he is usually aggressive and aggressive. If you don't give in half a step, you should be more mellow in your behavior and know how to retreat appropriately. Otherwise, why bother with tit-for-tat confrontation and no change. "
This is already a clear statement: smart people do smart things, see through and don’t tell the truth. Once the truth is revealed, everyone will have no way out and can only hit the same head and cause bloodshed...
Li Tai squinted his eyes, looked at Xiao Yu with a smile, and said slowly: "Song Guogong is indeed well versed in the ways of the world, but there are so many people in this world who say one thing and do another, and what is even more disgusting is that they are lenient to themselves and strict with themselves. Yiluren, what do you think?”
I can take a step back, as long as we don't conflict directly, but I can't take a step back and you have to push further, right?
Xiao Yu thought for a while, nodded slightly, and said: "Your Highness is very true."
Since Li Tai blocked the door and shouted curses in the street today, it would be very detrimental to himself, the entire Jiangnan noble family, and even the King of Jin if the commotion continued. Moreover, all the previous plans have made it difficult to get off the tiger, so we might as well take a step back to ease the situation slightly and plan for it slowly.
I'm anxious and can't eat hot tofu...
A smile broke out on Li Tai's face, he stepped forward and took Xiao Yu's hand affectionately, sighing and saying: "When I was young, I admired your literary talent, grace and elegance, Duke Guo of Song Dynasty, and often watched your behavior, words and deeds and imitated them. The empire is strong now, but the battle for the reserve is turbulent. You must stand firm, and don't let the king down if you lose it later."
Xiao Yu's eyelids twitched, and he replied with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I have lived a long time, and I no longer take pleasure in things or feel sorrow for myself. I have long seen through the things of fame and fortune, and I only look forward to my lifetime." If you can support the throne prince, you will die without regrets.”
"Haha."
Li Tai smiled and nodded repeatedly: "That's good, that's good... Since the Duke of Song does not welcome this uninvited guest, I will not dislike it, so I will leave now."
Today's killing is coming, and the harvest is quite rich. It is not easy to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, but it is necessary to stop when it is good.
Xiao Yu had nothing to lose. Although he had to stop impeaching and slandering Li Tai, he also bought time for King Jin.
Then he sent Li Tai down the steps with a smile, bowed and watched him board the car and drive away. Then he sighed, returned to his house, ordered his servants to close the front door, and rushed to the study.
In the past two years, I have become more and more aware that His Majesty’s disciples are not simple. Dealing with them requires more and more energy. Otherwise, if you are not careful, you will suffer a big loss...
In the study, Li Zhizheng was waiting anxiously. When he saw Xiao Yu return, he hurriedly asked: "How is the situation? Could it be that the Qingques knew that I was here and came here deliberately?"
Xiao Yu shook his head, and after sitting down, he said in a deep voice: "It is not appropriate for Your Highness to take any action after returning home these days. Once there is news from the navy, I will immediately go to the palace to ask for Your Majesty's instructions, and settle in Da Ci'en Temple to work with the Crown Prince for Wende." The Queen prays."
