Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2567
Li Chengqian didn't drink very well, after a few drinks his face flushed and he talked more.

"... In the year of Xuanwumen's change, Gu was already seven years old and knew a lot of things. Prince Yin and King Qi fell under Xuanwumen, and all his cronies were wiped out. In the whole city, all the henchmen of Prince Yin were captured, and they rushed into the East Palace and Prince Qi's mansion... It is said that Prince Yin's youngest son, King Julu, was only six years old at that time, and he cried and begged his father to spare him. He was sympathetic, but was dissuaded by the civil and military ministers under him, and finally had to slaughter all the men from the two houses..."

After drinking another cup, Li Chengqian's eyes were a little blurred, and he sighed: "Father is also a human being, and he also has seven emotions and six desires. Even if he hates Prince Yin and King Qi deeply, how can he be willing to kill his brother? But the situation forced it, no You die, I die. Even if Prince Yin did not die under the Xuanwu sect at that time, he would definitely die in the end, because as long as he does not die, there is a possibility of resurgence. At that time, the people who will die will be hundreds of people in the Qin Palace, and those who follow the father. Those loyal ministers and righteous men... Ninety-five Supreme Beings, holding the sun and the moon, behind this supreme power is the renunciation of six relatives, loneliness and old age, otherwise, how can there be a lonely family? It is like climbing the highest mountain in the world, stepping back. It’s forever, and only by abandoning everything and climbing to the top can you see the mountains and the world.”

Fang Jun was silent.

Just in response to the sentence: the heights are too cold.

This is the case too often in the world, people go to high places, and water flows to low places, but whenever people go to high places to enjoy the scenery, they will find that they are fearful and helpless.Everyone is staring at this supreme position, and everyone is coveting the invincible scenery of the world, so who can you really trust?

Sometimes, you can still choose the next best thing, you can choose.

But once you embark on such a road to climb to the high mountain, you have no other choice but to go all the way to the dark.

Therefore, Li Chengqian's character is actually not suitable for being a crown prince, let alone the supreme emperor in the world. He lacks the determination and courage of being an emperor, and he lacks the tenacity and ruthlessness to go forward.

He didn't want to be the crown prince, nor did he want to be the emperor, but his background pushed him to this point, and there was no way out except to overcome all difficulties and go forward bravely.

If you stop, you will be in danger.

If you take a step back, you will be lost forever.

Li Chengqian's drunken eyes were hazy, and the wine was getting drunk quickly. He put down the wine glass, took Fang Fangjun's hand, and said emotionally: "If Erlang hadn't tried his best to protect him, the Gu Chujun would have been abolished long ago. The whole family in the East Palace is probably already dead. I have suffered hardships, so I will always remember Erlang's kindness in my heart, and I will not dare to forget it from generation to generation... I still have one request today, and I hope Erlang will definitely agree."

Fang Jun was sweating a little. Although he had been in the Tang Dynasty for many years, he was still not used to two men "holding hands and looking at each other". Said: "Your Highness has orders, and I will obey them."

Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "It's not an order. I will not accept the orders of the emperor outside, and I can accept the orders of the emperor, let alone this prince? I know that Erlang is a person who values ​​love, righteousness, and promises, so I dare Request, dare not order."

"Your Highness, it doesn't matter if you speak bluntly, as long as the humble minister can do it, there will be no change."

Li Chengqian breathed out alcohol, took Fang Jun's hand, looked at him and said slowly: "If Gu can't keep the position of the crown prince, there is no need to describe the hardships of the whole family, but if one day Gu can inherit the great treasure and ascend to the throne of God, what else can I do?" I ask Erlang to promise that I will never harm my lonely siblings!"

In the Xuanwu Gate change, His Majesty Li Er had to kill his two brothers after he won the victory, but no matter how cruel he was, he might not be able to slaughter all his brothers' heirs without any burden, and let them have no children and grandchildren. In this way, even if he intends to forgive his nephews, the generals under him will never agree, and absolutely refuse to leave disaster.

He was afraid that after he came to the throne in the future, Fang Jun and other humerus ministers would also be afraid that the existence of King Wei and King Jin would endanger the throne, so they would simply send troops into the mansion and slaughter them all to eliminate future troubles. something happened.

Fang Jun sighed: "Your Highness is sincere and sincere, which is rare in the world. It is really a blessing for me to be able to follow His Highness to accomplish great things! My minister promised His Majesty that is, as long as your highnesses do not commit any treasonous acts, I will never do anything recklessly." The killing will make His Highness bear the notoriety of violently murdering his brother."

Wei Wang Li Tai is now obsessed with revitalizing the education of the Tang Dynasty. From his point of view, it is not that he is trying his best to cover up other plans, but he really thinks that this cause is worthwhile. It not only has a sense of accomplishment, but also can be remembered in history. I have already given up my mind about the battle for the reserve position.

However, Jin Wang Li Zhi's foundation is too shallow, even with the full support of the relevant Long nobles, it is impossible for His Majesty Li Er to pass on the throne to him.

In history, His Majesty Li Er did not suppress the powerful family, and his relationship with the Guanlong nobles was always harmonious. This led him to finally make Jin Wang Li Zhi, who was supported by the Guanlong nobles, as the prince, so as to ensure a smooth transition of power.

But now the relationship between His Majesty Li Er and the nobles of Guanlong is almost at odds. How could it be possible to hand over the throne to Li Zhi, the king of Jin, so that his national policy of suppressing the nobles of Guanlong all these years was abolished, and even made his opponent stand up and rise?
As long as these two are safe and sound, the rest of His Majesty Li Er's sons will never have a chance to touch the throne...

Li Chengqian was very grateful and kept saying "thank you"...

This is really not a courtesy.

As an emperor, he naturally has the position of the emperor, but as a subject, he also has the interests of the subject to strive for and maintain.He is a prince, even if he becomes an emperor in the future, he is grateful for the brotherhood and does not want to raise the butcher's knife to eliminate future troubles to his brothers, but it does not mean that his subjects will obey orders respectfully.

If the king of Wei and the king of Jin have kept their peace from the beginning to the end, it will be fine if they have never coveted the position of the crown prince. Now that these two are obviously interested in the position of the crown prince, it means that they and the forces behind them are unwilling to surrender, even In the future when Li Chengqian becomes the emperor, there is no guarantee that they will not rebel and attempt to gain access to the imperial power.

Under such circumstances, the throne is in crisis. Once it is usurped by a certain prince, it will not only be him, Li Chengqian, who will die without a place to bury him. All the humerus who followed him will be wiped out. It is the "Xuanwu Gate Change" re-enacted...

Which courtier is willing to take such risks in order to fulfill Li Chengqian's "brother, friend and brother respect" brotherhood?

It was exactly the same as when His Majesty Li Er was willing to kill all of Li Jiancheng's family members and followers, and the ending could not be changed...

And Fang Jun's ability to agree to it is naturally an expression of incomparable loyalty.

Li Chengqian never dreamed that such a loyal minister, righteous man, and humerus minister would submit to his subordinates. How could he not be moved and pay more attention to such a minister?

*****
This dinner was not very pleasant, because Li Chengqian got drunk too quickly, and the prince's wine was not very good, a person who was usually as gentle as jade, when he was drunk, he took people's hands and babbled. Non-stop, what should be said and what should not be said are not weighed at all, and there is no one to tell the truth, which is indeed tormenting for the courtiers.

Fang Jun had no choice but to keep drinking, and finally got Li Chengqian drunk and handed it over to the concubine who came to serve him, and then he left the East Palace.

When we left the East Palace, it was already the beginning of the Xu Dynasty, and the light rain in the world still did not stop. The fine rain was lingering under the reflection of the lanterns in front of the door, and a cool breeze mixed with fine rain fell on the cheeks, which made people feel refreshed. Get excited.

Dozens of guards composed of the soldiers and the elite guards of the right guard had already been waiting outside the gate, each of them was wearing a leather armor and a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, surrounded Fang Jun who came down the steps, and sat in the iron car. There was a four-wheeled carriage with steel plates sandwiched between the carriages, and then they returned to the house in a crowd.

Most of the people in the mansion had already fallen asleep, Fang Jun returned to the back house, and went into Xiao Shu'er's yard by himself.

While serving Fang Jun to take a bath and change clothes, the maids notified Xiao Shuer who had already fallen asleep. After Fang Jun took a bath and entered the bedroom, Xiao Shuer went up to him and handed him a cup of warm tea. , his eyes were like water, and he said slightly annoyed: "The gentleman should go to the room of His Highness or Mei Niang. I am pregnant, but I dare not serve you..."

Fang Jun stepped forward to take the tea and drank it down, put down the cup casually, put his arms around her slender and soft waist, kissed her smooth and white face, and said with a low laugh, "How can my lady be like this?" Dirty? Who said that a man and a woman live in the same room and have to perform the London rituals? For a husband who cleans himself and looks as clean as snow, tonight he just wants to embrace his beautiful concubine and express his love. There is no other way, I am afraid that I will disappoint my wife gone."

Xiao Shu'er suddenly felt embarrassed, stomped her feet and said angrily: "Who would have thought...that? You have wronged me!"

Fang Jun laughed, hugged her delicate body and sat on the bed, stretched out his hand to touch the slightly protruding belly, leaned his head towards her as if to listen, and said in his mouth: "Come on, son, give Daddy a listen. "

Seeing the childish look of the majestic Langjun who was usually outside, Xiao Shuer raised the corners of her lips, smiled like a flower, and stretched out her slender hands to gently caress Langjun's side face.

The house is full of warmth, the drizzle outside the window, the red candle flickering, quiet and peaceful.

Xiao Shu'er couldn't help but be a little fascinated, if it would be such a gentle concubine for the rest of her life, how wonderful it would be...
