Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2904 History Track
So, what is the significance of the emperor Li Zhi?

Even if someone else becomes the emperor, as long as he is not too stupid and incompetent, he can still take down Goguryeo with the family fortune accumulated by His Majesty Li Er. Li Zhiyi's civil servants were like rain and military generals, but most of them came to prominence during the Zhenguan Dynasty , or the children of aristocratic families, there are few talents who can be regarded as Li Zhijian's training.

The most important thing is that like His Majesty Li Er, he came to power with the support of the aristocratic family, but he did not have the determination and courage of His Majesty Li Er to suppress the aristocratic family. As a result, the aristocratic family continued to accumulate and grow. rise.Since then, in order to resist the power left by Wu Meiniang, Xuanzong still had to rely on the power of the aristocratic family. In the end of the Tang Dynasty, the aristocratic family was always the mainstream in the court.

In the end, the feudal towns were everywhere and the power was dispersed, which led to the catastrophe of "Anshi Rebellion".

For history, Li Zhi just took a detour, and there is no meaning of positive progress...

But it would be hurtful to say this, and Li Zhi would not believe it.

After deliberating for a while, Fang Jun just sighed, and said: "The founding king must have a tough temperament, violent domineering, aggressive and enterprising, and must be broken before standing. The successor must be as stable as a mountain, and rule the world with benevolence. It can consolidate the foundation and carry on the past. In this regard, His Royal Highness Prince Jin is not as good as the crown prince."

Li Zhi looked up at the dark night sky and remained silent.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and a few sporadic snowflakes rolled up with the wind, which melted instantly on the face, feeling cool.

After a long time, Li Zhifang said in a low voice: "I don't believe in anyone, I only believe in myself. However, what my brother-in-law said just now is good, 'a man can do something, and he can't do something', this king will keep it in mind. In order to realize the ambition in my heart, not to grab the supreme power, no matter how the king and the prince brother fight, they will stick to the bottom line and stick to the principle. The same is true for the brother-in-law, even if the brother-in-law tries his best to assist the prince brother today, if the king of another day achieves For big things, instead of resenting my brother-in-law, I will be as close as ever and reuse him."

Fang Jun was stunned for a moment, then solemnly said: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Although Li Zhi did not have outstanding performance and contributions in history, just because he was able to seize the throne as a younger brother, it shows that his courage is not comparable to ordinary people.

Li Zhi tightened the fur on his body, with a bright smile on his face: "I will take my leave first, and I will bring breakfast for my brother-in-law tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he boarded the carriage and left slowly surrounded by the imperial guards.

Although today's events failed to dispel his will to fight for reserves, they also greatly shocked his mentality, especially Fang Jun's words and the attitude of the entire military department made him understand many issues that he had never considered before.

That is, I want to use the power of the Guanlong nobles to fight for the reserve, and even want to wait until the reserve position is firmly established and ascended the throne as the emperor, and then go back and continue the emperor's father's policy to suppress the aristocratic family.

But which of those old foxes in Guanlong is a vegetarian?Especially Changsun Wuji, who conspired to be invincible in the court and the public, how could he not think of his own thoughts, so he honestly pushed himself into the reserve position without taking any precautions?

The most serious thing is that while he is using Guan Long's power to fight for the imperial power, is Guan Long just using himself to consolidate their past glory?
Insufficient people, never complacent.

Once Guan Long feels that they can grab more benefits, and he has to rely on them to stabilize the world in a short period of time, will it make his selfish desires more inflated and greedy for more benefits?

Even, will you force yourself to do something against your will?

Fang Jun watched Li Zhi's carriage gradually go away, exhaled slowly, looked up at the sky, and the snowflakes were falling like reeds.

The reason why he communicated with Li Zhi so patiently was that Li Zhi, as the most beloved son of His Majesty Li Er, was an extremely crucial point in the process of fighting for the reserve. Influence His Majesty Li Er's decision.

God knows what if Li Zhi played some tricks under the instigation of the Guanlong nobles, forcing His Majesty Li Er to disregard the civil and military wishes of the Manchu Dynasty and forcibly depose the prince?
Historically, Li Chengqian was accused of "rebellion" under the precarious position and panic, which led to the deposed position of the reserve, and then he was imprisoned. , Li Ji, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Sun Fujia, Qing of Dali, Cen Wenwen, Minister of Zhongshu, Ma Zhou, a doctor of imperial history, and Chu Suiliang, a doctor of admonishment, etc., all participated in it, and the evidence is conclusive.

Finally moved to Qianzhou, "died of worry and anger"...

The truth behind this is whether Li Chengqian fought back in desperation, preferring the jade to be broken, or whether His Majesty Li Er did not hesitate to sacrifice the eldest son in order to promote Li Zhi to the throne, or was it planned by the Guanlong nobles behind Li Zhi Frame.

Even, did everything come from Li Zhi's plan...

People's hearts are separated by belly, so what about brothers and sisters?In the face of the supreme power in the world, no one can survive the test and remain as firm as a rock and as clear as the bright moon.

So he has been calling Li Zhi, it's okay to fight for the reserve, but don't resort to those dirty tricks, otherwise I, Fang Jun, will never sit still.

And Li Zhi is also a smart person, clearly expressing his attitude.

Do something, don't do something.

That's fine...

The current situation is very different from that in history. In history, after Li Chengqian was abandoned by His Majesty Li Er, he was regarded as a rebellion. Even if he struggled hard, it was impossible to shake the court. Failure was the only way.

But now, Li Chengqian has more than half of the court ministers by his side, even the aristocratic families in Shandong and the gentry in Jiangnan are standing firmly behind him. Power must fight back.

That will be a war that is evenly matched, enough to shake the entire country!
Fang Jun would rather Li Chengqian be deposed and die than such an earth-shattering war would happen. The era of glory will not come, which means that the land of China, which was finally unified, is very likely to fall into division, and even the alien race that has been suppressed for a long time will rise up and invade the Central Plains...

This cannot be allowed to happen.

Sometimes, it is not a very good thing to be able to see the trajectory of history through the fog...

*****
After the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the whole of Chang'an became tense, and all the central yamen were on duty. Countless scouts and scouts rode from all over the world to Chang'an all day long, bringing all kinds of news, and then He brought the order of the center back to the place.

The entire imperial machine was in motion.

His Majesty Li Er summoned the civil and military ministers in the Taiji Palace every day to discuss carefully the route, strategy, and tactics of the Eastern Expedition.

In February, when the dragon raised its head, the south of the Yangtze River was warmed by the spring breeze. "On February [-], when the river goes up, the east wind blows the sheng." Guanzhong has also warmed up, and the snow that has accumulated all winter has begun to melt.However, the news sent by Liaodong shows that the frost has thawed, and after some time to dry, the muddy roads and fields will be dry and stable, suitable for the army to march.

His Majesty Li Er summoned the courtiers in the royal study and gave each of them a bowl of Longxu noodles.

February [-] is commonly known as "Dragon Head". Many foods have a dragon character added. For example, noodles are called "Dragon Beard Noodles", dumplings are called "Long Er" and "Long Jiao". ", noodles and wonton together are called "Longnazhu", and eating pig's head is called "Shilongtou"... It is said that the emperor has been called "Son of Heaven" since ancient times, and also "Son of Real Dragon". This custom on February [-] So domineering, isn't the emperor taboo?

In the imperial study room, the ministers sat down one after another, greeting and chatting with each other, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

Throughout the first month, everyone was busy with their own affairs. Although they had their own thoughts in their hearts, no one wanted to make mistakes in the mess of affairs they were responsible for, so they all tried their best to do their best, and it was very hard for a while.

Now that everything is in order, everyone's tense nerves are relaxed.

It was not long before the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and wars have continued to this day. Civil servants and military generals have been in battle for a long time. Although the Eastern Expedition was a national war, the ministers performed their duties, and there was no urgency or panic.

Today, everyone also had their hair cut and beard shaved, and they all gathered in the imperial study in good spirits...
