Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2499 Forming an Alliance
Changsun Wuji has always been proud, and is quite proud of his extraordinary wisdom and ability to seek good fortune and avoid evil. However, until now, he has discovered that the handsome and harmless Prince Jin in front of him is more naughty than him , more treacherous, and know how to eat mutton without making people ashamed...

What does it mean that the world belongs to your father, and if your father doesn't give it to you, you will never take it?

The current crown prince is Li Chengqian, if you want to seize the crown prince instead, how can you not grab it?To put it bluntly, it is to let others do all the bad things and bear the infamy, and then you yourself will be as innocent as a white lotus flower...

Changsun Wuji's face was gloomy, and his anger was faint, but it was not easy to flare up.

The reason why he chose King Li Zhi of Jin among the princes of His Majesty Li Er was that King Li Tai of Wei did not buy into him, he was determined and resourceful, and could not be effectively controlled; Pampering, I like his brother and friend's disposition very much, but the most important point is that because Jin Wang Li Zhi is young and inexperienced, he is easier to control than his elder brother.

In his opinion, Li Zhi only needs to be promoted to the position of the crown prince, and he will naturally inherit the position of emperor in the future. He will be completely under the control of his grandson Wuji, and the Guanlong nobles will once again seize the power of the entire empire. Restore the glory of the past.

But now he suddenly realized that maybe he was wrong.

Although this His Highness looks like a white lotus flower, gentle and graceful, harmless to humans and animals, his IQ is definitely not low, and he is treacherous and shameless enough.

This perfectly fits the qualities that a good politician must have.

For a moment, Changsun Wuji felt that he regretted it... But after calming down, he knew that he had no choice.

Prince Li Chengqian has accepted Confucianism since he was a child, and he is very close to the great Confucians in the court, but he is disgusted with the iron and blood killings of the Guanlong nobles from the bottom of his heart, even when facing his uncle, The boredom in my heart can hardly be suppressed.

Naturally, such a crown prince cannot become the object of loyalty of the Guanlong nobles, because once the prince ascends the throne, the Guanlong nobles will bear the brunt of the suppression and weakening from the imperial power, and thus lose huge benefits.

Originally the king of Wei, Li Tai, was the most suitable candidate, but he was too smart and selfish enough. After realizing that it would be difficult for him to obtain the position of crown prince, even if he became emperor in the future, he would have to face the situation of fratricidal fratricide and a long-lasting stigma. Give up the battle for storage.

After all the calculations, only Li Zhi, King of Jin, can be supported and relied on by the nobles of Guanlong...

As for Li Zhi's deceit and shamelessness, Changsun Wuji believed that with his ability to rule the court for many years, he was able to subdue his governance and obey his orders, and be a puppet of the Guanlong nobles obediently.

Even if they really have any intentions, relying on the energy of the Guanlong nobles, they can completely stop them from making any disturbances.

Taking a deep breath, Changsun Wuji said softly, "How can the old minister not think the same way as His Highness? Your Majesty is His Royal Highness's father and the old minister's monarch. Back then, the old minister followed His Majesty and escaped death before conquering this beautiful river and mountain. Your majesty's admiration is as high as a mountain, and we dare not show any disrespect. We help your majesty to let your majesty see that you are the most suitable person to inherit the country and rule the people, not to disobey your majesty's will , to overthrow His Majesty's imperial order, and to be a rebellious minister."

Li Zhi's face was slightly pale, and he nodded again and again: "It should be so, it should be so! This king should do his best, but the final decision is still only the order of the father, even if the father still chooses the prince to inherit the king. In order to rule, this king will never complain, let alone dare to have any resentment!"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "That's true! As a subject, we should share the worries of His Majesty, how can we disobey His Majesty's order? It's just that we think that His Highness is more suitable to be the emperor of the empire than the prince, so we help His Highness show Out of one's own excellence, the final choice is naturally up to His Majesty."

The nephew and uncle looked at each other and smiled.

Everyone has plans in their hearts...

Li Zhi had been tried many times before, but he was always muddle-headed. Today, he finally got Li Zhi's permission. Changsun Wuji, being happy, poured tea for Li Zhi himself, and asked with a smile: "Your Highness is now an adult. Even the heirs are born, it is not a problem to always live in seclusion in the mansion. After all, I want to go to the court to let the court and the people see the demeanor of His Highness. Or the old minister will choose a day to meet His Majesty and beg His Majesty to revoke the confinement Order to allow His Highness to enter the court as an official?"

Li Zhi waved his hands quickly, and said anxiously: "No way! Uncle must also understand the temperament of the father, and he has always been soft and not hard. It's fine if I accept the punishment honestly. Maybe one day the father will be in a mood Alright, I pardoned my crime, but if my uncle went to intercede, my father might mistakenly think that this king couldn't bear the pain of living in seclusion, and tried to escape punishment, but things backfired and angered my father. increasingly unhappy."

Changsun Wuji thought for a while, and nodded in agreement.

Although this emperor is very talented and brave, but sometimes he is extremely conceited, like a donkey who can't go away and retreats. You grit your teeth and let the punishment keep silent. He respects you as a man. Maybe all the punishments will be exempted at the same time, but if you cry and complain all kinds of things, it is an act that he disdains, and maybe it will make you more guilty.

As long as the alliance with Li Zhi is confirmed, the situation will be considered to be stable, and if there is any plan, it can be slowly planned, and it is not necessarily a good thing to act too hastily.

If it arouses His Majesty's vigilance, it might be a chicken-flying egg...

Changsun Wuji leaned back on the chair relaxedly, and asked casually: "Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, Your Highness lives in seclusion in the mansion, and it is not suitable for contact with outsiders. Why don't you invite members of the Wang clan to the mansion to drink and have fun together, and celebrate the festive season?"

Li Zhi pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "Uncle's words are not bad. Since getting married, this king has lived in seclusion in the mansion most of the time, and has a little contact with the Wang clan. It is normal to take this opportunity to get close. Relatives, we still need to go to the market.”

The eldest grandson Wuji stroked his beard and smiled, with a look of relief that "children can be taught".

The so-called "Wang Clan" is naturally the Taiyuan Wang Clan, the natal family of Jin Wangfei Wang Clan. As one of the seven clans and five surnames, the Taiyuan Wang Clan is a powerful clan. People in high positions, but the hidden energy is still not comparable to those ordinary people.

The road of "struggling for reserves" is full of difficulties, and it is necessary to unite all the forces that can be united, so that it is possible to win in reverse and succeed at the top.

As in-laws, the Taiyuan Wang family is naturally the first to win over.

Of course, Li Zhi's heart is definitely not as enthusiastic as the one shown on his face. He has lingering fears about Wang's greed and domineering behavior, and it is absolutely impossible for him to confide in Wang's because of his in-laws.

Even the eldest grandson Wuji, his uncle, is the same.

After all, everyone is just taking advantage of each other. If you can't grasp the proportion, I'm afraid a catastrophe will follow...

Thinking of Wang, Li Zhi couldn't help but think of Fang Jun again, and asked: "It is said that Wang offended Fang Jun before, and even wanted to frame Fang Jun, but in the end he was hit by Fang Jun's counter attack, which greatly injured his vitality, not only damaged a large number of Manpower, and even Jiangnan's property can't be kept, so many properties are forced to be donated to Fang Jun. Can we do something about it, manipulate it, and get involved in those properties?"

Although the emperor placed him under house arrest, he did not restrict Princess Jin's access. Princess Jin often returned to her natal home, and naturally heard the elders in the family sigh, lamenting that a huge fortune was about to be parted and flowed into Fang Jun's pocket.

When Li Zhiwen heard this, it was inevitable that he was concerned. The wealth that could make even the Wang family in Taiyuan feel distressed must be extremely considerable. For him who is very ambitious at the moment, wealth is the second only resource after connections, so naturally the more the better.

It is inevitable that I will make up my mind...

In his opinion, Fang Jun himself is as rich as a country, and he is not keen on making money and goods. As long as he can take advantage of the loopholes and keep part of this wealth, Fang Jun may not care about it.

Changsun Wuji shook his head and sighed: "Your Highness doesn't know. The reason Wang gave this money to Fang Jun is to appease Fang Jun's anger. The relationship behind this is intricate and difficult to explain for a while. And Fang Jun got this I didn't take the pen as my own, but donated it to His Royal Highness King Wei..."
