Chapter 4093 Shocking Change


Chapter 4093 Shocking Change

Regardless of the feelings of family and country or personal interests, since Cui Dunli decided to part ways with the Shandong family, he could only side with the East Palace.

He didn't think that the situation in the East Palace was really as desperate as the outside world saw it. With the firm support of military leaders like Fang Jun and Li Jing, and the loyal support of the great scholars of the time such as Yu Zhining, Kong Yingda, and Lu Deming, who had disciples all over the world, Even if it is really easy to store in the future, the East Palace is not something anyone can press to death if they want.

Moreover, Li Ji, who is currently the number one person in the dynasty in terms of strength, official position, and power, has never expressed his position on the ownership of the reserve...

It's too early to tell who will win.

……

The drizzle was gurgling outside the window, and the two of them were drinking and eating, exchanging views on the current situation between North Korea and China, and the conversation was lively.

Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside, and the guard Ying strode in. He glanced at Cui Dunli first, paused for a moment and hesitated. When he saw that Fang Jun had no expression, he said urgently: "Just now 'Hundred The cavalry sent someone to deliver the news, saying that your majesty was exhausted and sleepy in the morning. After the diagnosis and treatment by the imperial doctor, he was fine, but then his majesty summoned a Tibetan monk into the Wude Hall..."
< br>

Fang Jun's heart sank, he was really afraid of what might happen.

Based on his guesses based on various signs during His Majesty Li Er's Eastern March, as well as his observations during his return to Beijing, he confirmed that His Majesty Li Er's current physical condition is extremely bad. Although it is not likely that he will run out of fuel, his vitality will definitely be greatly damaged and his body will be severely damaged. Get sick.

If he had cultivated himself well, given his original physical quality and excellent medical standards, it might be difficult for him to return to his original state, but it would not be difficult to survive this dangerous period.

But now that he has summoned the Tibetan monks, he must have taken the mercury drug again. Whether it will cause any accident is unknown.

In today's era, no one understands better than him how serious damage those nerve-stimulating drugs can do to the body's texture. If you are not careful, it will be difficult to undo...

Cui Dunli also knew that something was wrong. Seeing Fang Jun's expression change, he hurriedly said: "A group of great scholars and moral gentlemen over there in the East Palace can usually take care of themselves, but at the critical moment they are in trouble and need to go to the Duke of Yue." Just host it.”

From ancient times to the present, literati are fond of making plans and are unable to accomplish great things. Only military generals can turn the tide and stabilize the situation.

If Your Majesty continues to take the medicine of mercury, it is very likely that something unbearable will happen. When the situation changes suddenly, the East Palace must respond promptly and correctly. Those Confucian scholars who are usually full of moral articles and full of talents and strategies cannot be relied on, and even It will ruin something big.

For example, if you are willing and unwilling to expect something to happen to your Majesty after taking the medicine, so as to prepare in advance, that is really a way to die.

Once something is done, His Majesty, even if he is really dead, must clean up the East Palace before his funeral. Otherwise, how can he leave the source of internal strife in the imperial power and cause the empire to fall into strife and collapse after his death?

Fang Jun naturally understood the unfinished meaning of Cui Dun's words, and he didn't care about the half-eaten banquet. He immediately stood up and said: "I'm heading to the East Palace. You should also go back to the military headquarters and take charge. Keep a close eye on all the weapons and food. The remaining Sixteenth Guards army cannot be adequately supplied.”

Only by controlling the supply of ordnance and baggage can the king of Jin be able to use the rat weapon to prevent him from launching it unscrupulously.

Otherwise, even if the King of Jin does not dare to use weapons, he will definitely be coerced by the army and do something outrageous. When the situation collapses, it will be difficult to recover...

"Here!"

Cui Dunli quickly stood up and accepted the order.

Fang Jun put on a raincoat, and the two of them went out one after the other. Cui Dunli pedaled and set off, while Fang Jun, with more than ten soldiers, galloped down the mountain in the rain and headed straight for Chang'an City.

……

In the drizzle, the red walls and green tiles of Tai Chi Palace looked hazy.

This majestic palace, the most magnificent in the world today, is shrouded in mist and rain. It seems to lack the grandeur of the past and become a bit more weak and desolate...

Since His Majesty Li Er returned from the Eastern Expedition, he has been bedridden. The matter of Yi Chu has become more and more popular and has affected the world. All forces dare not let go of any news in the palace, and they all take advantage of the fact that His Majesty Li Er does not have too much energy. The continuous bribery and placement caused the huge Tai Chi Palace to leak air everywhere like a sieve. If there was any trouble, the news would spread outside the palace instantly.

His Majesty Li Er summoned the monks one after another, so naturally he could not hide it from the various forces who had placed eyes and ears in the palace...

After Jin Wang Li Zhi received the news, he was suddenly worried and on pins and needles.

When Xiao Yu arrived at the study in the backyard of Prince Jin's Mansion at the beginning of Xushi, he saw Li Zhi sitting uneasily like an ant on a hot pot...

After seeing the ceremony and sitting down, Xiao Yu comforted him: "Your Highness, don't worry too much. Your Majesty is a wise king who is rare in the history. He naturally knows his physical condition and will never take a large amount of medicine rashly and endanger his life."

Li Zhi stopped talking and asked Xiao Yu to drink tea.

Is he worried about his father's health?

Of course, this was also the reason. How could the family relationship between father and son be completely lost? But he was even more worried that if his father had an accident due to taking the medicine of mercury, it would lead to further troubles in the easy storage.

After all, until now, Yi Chu's edict has not been drafted, and the Prince of the East Palace is still the nominal crown prince...

When his father was still alive, he issued the imperial edict to Yi Chu. He, Li Zhi, ascended to the throne. No one in the world dared to disobey him. However, if something unexpected happened to his father before the edict of Yi Chu was promulgated, he would have to wait for a coup if he wanted to sit in that position again. If the words are not correct, even if it finally succeeds, it will inevitably end up in the history books as a "usurper of the throne".

Xiao Yu observed the words and expressions, and after a little thought, he understood what Li Zhi was thinking, and couldn't help stroking his beard and thinking deeply.

He also believed that Li Zhi's concerns were indeed necessary...

Although His Majesty Li Er has returned to Beijing now, the situation in Guanzhong has not returned to what it was before. The Guanlong Mutiny has caused earth-shaking changes in the original political structure. It is even unclear who is the enemy and who is the friend. The entire interests The group is on the verge of falling apart.

All of this should have been broken and reshaped with the crown prince's ascension to the throne, and then stabilized during the struggle, but it came to an abrupt end with the strong return of His Majesty Li Er.

It seems calm, but in reality there is a turbulent undercurrent.

Especially since "Hundred Qisi" and Donggong have been flirting with each other, the two parties may not have reached some agreements in private. And "Hundred Qisi" now almost controls the security of the entire Tai Chi Palace. If he wants to make some treacherous and unethical measures, it is convenient.

After all, once His Majesty is buried, the one who will benefit the most is the Prince of the East Palace...

The atmosphere in the study was solemn for a moment.

After a long while, Li Zhicai asked: "How about the Duke of Song enter the palace with me and advise my father not to take the medicine of mercury?"

Xiao Yu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Everyone knows that the medicine of mercury and mercury is harmful to the human body. How could your majesty not know about it? Maybe your majesty has some hidden physical illness, or maybe his mental state is difficult to cope with the current situation. Taking medicine must be the result of careful consideration. Even if It’s useless to try to persuade him.”

He experienced the Sui and Tang Dynasties and four dynasties, and saw many supreme beings in the world. Perhaps His Majesty Li Er was inferior to Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, and his talent and courage were not as bold as Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, but when it came to being clear-headed and weighing the pros and cons, he was the best among them.

For such a sensible person, there must be a reason why he still takes the medicine and food of mercury even though he knows it is harmful. How can others easily advise him?

Moreover, Fang Jun and others had warned him more than once before this matter, but His Majesty Li Er still insisted on going his own way...

Li Zhi said anxiously: "What should we do?"

Taking the medicine of mercury is extremely dangerous, and the fact that my father still took it despite knowing the danger shows that his body is already in a condition, and an accident is likely to happen at any time; and if he takes the medicine of mercury after he has an accident, what will happen if the two factors are superimposed? Isn't it more and more dangerous?

What if Donggong pulls some dirty tricks behind his back and something unspeakable happens...

As long as Dong Gong ascends the throne as emperor, I am afraid that the first edict will be to take away his title as the king of Jin, and then imprison him. When the situation is stable, he will be given a cup of poisonous wine and three feet of white silk...

After all, the power currently controlled by Prince Jin's Palace is enough to threaten the throne. No matter how respectful the prince is, he cannot tolerate the existence of Prince Jin.

Even if the prince can tolerate it, the officials in the East Palace will never tolerate it...

Xiao Yu said warmly: "Your Highness, don't worry. I will ask Lu Guogong and E Guogong to be on strict alert later. If there is any trouble in the East Palace, we will deal with it. In addition, if you are not summoned by Your Majesty during these days, Your Highness should not set foot easily." Taiji Palace, so as not to give others an opportunity.”

There are countless strategies, but safety comes first.

If Dong Gong really has the intention of being rebellious, the first thing to do is to cut off the stumbling block of King Jin in advance, and then he can get twice the result with half the effort...

Li Zhi's heart tightened, his face looked serious, and he nodded heavily.

The throne was at stake, so he didn't dare to bet on whether the prince was filial or hypocritical...

At the same time, he warned: "We should also contact Guanlong more and don't listen to Duke Ying's words. Guanlong is now facing Qin and Muchu, so we should not be credulous."

After all, Guan Long is now openly on the side of the East Palace. Although Yu Wenshi and privately made a promise to the Jin Palace, who knows if he will immediately turn against him once the situation turns to the right?

The Jin Palace needs the "variable" Guan Long to give the East Palace a fatal blow, but it must be guarded against...

Xiao Yu nodded: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will save you the trouble."

……

East Palace.

Although the policy of banning the sky has not been explicitly abolished, it has gradually been abolished as Chang'an's business has become more prosperous. Unless something urgent happens, the city gates in Chang'an are open all night long, and cars and horses can't stop.

Yu Zhining and Lu Deming took a car in the middle of the night and arrived at the gate of the East Palace. After getting off the car, they went forward to ask for an audience with the prince. The soldiers in front of the gate did not dare to stop them. They first invited them into the palace gate to rest in the concierge on the side, and then rushed inside. Report to Prince Ming.

The rain was gurgling outside the window, and the two of them each held a cup of hot tea. In their anxious hearts, they looked at each other and could clearly feel each other's anxiety...

Originally, Lu Deming rushed to Yu's house to discuss with Yu Zhining after hearing the news from the palace. After the two discussed, they agreed that this was a golden opportunity. As long as the prince could instruct the "Hundred Qisi" to cooperate, the current situation would inevitably become clear. Not only did Chu The position is guaranteed, even in one step.

Of course, it would be difficult to convince the prince to commit such a treasonous act, and it would be even more difficult to force Fang Jun and others to agree...

But opportunities are fleeting. If you can't plan in advance, how can you make it happen?

People like them have long been closely related to the fate of the East Palace. How can they be willing to slump and fall into the dust when the prince is deposed from the throne?

Wealth and honor have always been sought in the midst of danger, and this has never been the case throughout the ages.

As for "benevolence and filial piety"... the whole book is about benevolence, justice and filial piety, but who has achieved great things in ancient and modern times, and who strictly adheres to "benevolence and filial piety"?

We can't let the prince become "Fusu's second", and all of them will fall into the abyss... (End of this chapter)
