Chapter 208 Exposing the Truth
Li Qun knew that the emperor said these just to make him relax his vigilance, and then drive him out of Kyoto City.
As long as he leaves Kyoto City, he will never have the chance to come back.
The emperor should know his body well. He knew that he was dying, so he was paving the way for those behind him.
Sometimes the road paved is correct and can meet the subsequent development, but such moments are almost minimal.
Since the emperor wanted him to leave so much, then he should go and show him that Li Qun was never afraid of what the emperor wanted to do to him.
In his opinion, she was fully prepared.
Li Qun has not led troops to fight for many years. When the news spread that he was going to lead troops to fight, everyone in Kyoto was talking about it.
They felt that there were many generals in the DPRK who could lead troops to fight. It was not that Li Qun was the only one who could do it, so why did they have to let Li Qun go?
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor is going to be cruel to Li Qun, which also means changes in the situation in Kyoto City in the future.
Before Li Qun left, Cui Xiu went to see him and expressed genuine concern. She hoped that Li Qun would be well.
At the same time, she also believed that Li Qun would be able to return triumphantly while saving his own life.
Those things that happened in the previous life will never happen again.
As soon as Li Qun left, the emperor made the fifth prince the prince, as if he was exchanging Li Qun's life for the future of the fifth prince.
Many people may not understand this sentence, but if they understand the relationship between Li Qun and Cui Xiu, they will know that this sentence is actually very easy to understand.
Li Qun has not married for so many years, and there is no need to say who else is in his heart. He must have placed his hope on Cui Xiu's child.
It was impossible for the emperor not to see what Li Qun was thinking, so he made a gambling agreement with Li Qun. The emperor felt that Li Qun did not know that the fifth prince was not Cui Xiu's child.
So he will definitely do his best to choose the fifth prince and do his best to help the fifth prince.
Li Qun’s firm agreement also convinced the emperor of his own idea.
But what he didn't know was that all this was part of Li Qun's plan, and the emperor could use the sixth prince as a whetstone for the fifth prince.
Then Li Qun could also use the fifth prince as a shield for the sixth prince.
The current situation in the world is not good. Although the prince seems to have a noble status, it is not a good job.
It is just right for the fifth prince to clean up those messes in this position, so that when the sixth prince takes over later, it will be easier.
After the fifth prince was named crown prince, the situation in the court almost tilted towards the fifth prince. However, the emperor's love for the fifth prince was not as good as before.
Not only that, there is also a trend of gradual reduction.
Originally, the fifth prince was very happy that he became the prince. After all, he was already his father's only recognized heir.
As long as his father dies, he can successfully ascend the throne and become emperor.
The other princes can only accept their own assignments willingly and go to their respective places.
Plan what kind of life you want to live.
But the fifth prince didn't know why he cared so much about his father's thoughts. From the beginning to the end, he clearly only wanted to be the prince, but he didn't want to be the best child in his father's eyes. Now seeing his father drifting away from him, he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.
The fifth prince didn't know what was wrong with him. He took the position of prince in such a low mood, and what followed was a series of things that he needed to deal with.
Originally, he thought that his mother-in-law and Duke Xu were going to give up on him and choose someone else. He was thinking about how to solve this matter, but he never thought that a few days later, his father would directly order him to be the prince. .
The fifth prince thought that the concubine might have told others what he heard from Cui Xiu a few days ago.
Although the fifth prince did not understand why his mother and concubine wanted to alienate their relationship like this, the result now is good. As for the process, he is not concerned about it.
For some things, he only needs to get a result, and thinking too much about the process will only make him annoyed and troubled.
He didn't want to distract himself from these meaningless things.
Now that he is the prince of a country, how can he care about trivial matters? That would make him look very petty.
He will be the emperor in the future. The world belongs to him. There are too many things that he needs to take care of. The fifth prince uses this idea to improve his "over-sensitivity". He keeps Tell yourself that his mother-in-law just wants to be good to him in her own way.
There is an age gap between them, so many things are unsolvable.
As for Cui Xiu, he has now completely let himself go. The original plan between them was to let the sixth prince please the emperor.
In the end, the sixth prince will become a legitimate prince.
Although the emperor showed his liking for the sixth prince, everyone felt that he might change their choice for the crown prince position.
But he actually chose the fifth prince.
He never changed his mind from the beginning to the end. Even when he saw that the fifth prince was not better than the sixth prince, or even much worse, he would still choose the fifth prince.
Since the emperor made this choice, they must also have countermeasures to deal with it.
If they are only led by the emperor, life will be difficult in the future. The emperor will not let them go easily.
And their response is to pull out all the firepower and rebound after bottoming out.
The emperor wanted the fifth prince to ascend the throne, and at the same time he also wanted to depose Duke Xu, so he made two moves.
However, these two actions are not independent of each other. To a large extent, if the fifth prince wants to successfully succeed to the throne, he must need the support of a very powerful force.
There are not many such powerful forces. He personally selected Li Qun for the fifth prince, but now he wants the fifth prince to abandon Li Qun and choose other people to assist him. This is very difficult to do in a short while.
The emperor is now in a critical condition and seeking treatment, and many of the things he has done are not as decisive as the decisions he made when he was young.
There will always be many loopholes, and these are the loopholes they need to exploit.
As long as they can make good use of these loopholes, they are not afraid that the emperor will kill them.
The emperor knew too many things, and they knew a lot of things at the same time, so the emperor wanted to take them all away before his family collapsed.
Bury those unknown secrets in the past forever.
But many things are not secrets at all, and they will definitely expose him to the sun.
