Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2931 Sticking to the Bottom Line
There is no impenetrable wall in the world, especially for the imperial palace where the interests of the world converge in one place. Therefore, in the morning, there was a "violent battle" in the imperial study room. There was a lot of rumors about Qi's house.

His Majesty Li Er is not a rigorous and rigid person, and his control over the palace has never been considered strict. Not only did he not care much about the secret whispers of the maids in the palace, he even did not blindly make friends with the foreign ministers. prohibit.

He claims to be enlightened, and his achievements are outstanding in the world, and everyone in the world should support him from the bottom of his heart. Why should he use such harsh methods to treat the palace servants, flogging, beheading and killing them with the court staff at every turn, making the people around him panic and bloody?

Therefore, not only did he seldom punish the ministers who made mistakes, but he was also quite gentle with the maids in the palace. This caused the news of the palace to be known to the public as soon as it happened, but His Majesty Li Er didn't care about it. , I feel that there is nothing wrong with telling others that I am upright and upright, and no one will dare to try to seize his throne like Hou Junji...

……

The news of the "Royal Study Room War" spread, causing an uproar between the ruling and opposition parties.

Although the momentum of the Guanlong nobles has been getting lower and lower in recent years, and even Changsun Wuji, the former "No. He is also the "No. 1 Hero of Zhenguan" and the brother of Empress Wende!

In the end, he was beaten by Fang Jun?
Everyone finds it inconceivable that the court is full of elites anyway, and each one of them can be regarded as outstanding people in the world, but in the end they are full of old punches and big fights like street ruffians?
Of course, after being shocked by Fang Jun's fierce fighting power as a "stick", more people care more about waiting to see what kind of punishment Fang Jun will suffer.

The severity of the punishment most likely represents that His Majesty Li Er's will is more inclined to one side in the fight for the reserve. For the ministers of the court and the aristocratic family, this is related to their own future, so naturally they are extremely concerned...

*****
Jin Wang Li Zhi heard the news in the palace, and sat there in a daze for a long time.

After a long time, he stood up and said to the maid beside him, "serve me to take a bath and change clothes."

After taking a bath in the back house and changing into a green dress, Princess Jin hurried over with a panicked look on her face: "Your Highness, this matter has spread throughout Chang'an, and it has dealt a severe blow to Duke Zhao's reputation. I wonder if there is a way to restore it?"

She was born in a famous family, and she was used to seeing intrigues in the officialdom since she was a child. Under the influence of her ears and eyes, her knowledge is naturally uncomparable to that of ordinary women.The first reaction after hearing the news of the "Battle of the Royal Study Room" was that Duke Zhao's prestige might be damaged because of this, and his influence would be greatly reduced, which in turn would affect the situation of fighting for reserves.

Although the Taiyuan Wang family behind her was willing to do their best to assist King Jin, but at this time, the Taiyuan Wang family was no longer what it used to be, and their meager strength was not enough to support Jin Wang to ascend to the throne, so they had to follow the lead of the Guanlong nobles.

Once Changsun Wuji's prestige is damaged, the most direct thing is that Guanlong's power will decline, and the situation of fighting for reserves will become more and more precarious...

Li Zhi smiled slightly, with no hint of impatience on his sunny and handsome face. He gently shook Princess Jin's jade hand, and said softly: "Uncle has gone through countless winds and rains, how can it be difficult for mere trivial matters to stop him? Don't worry, this king will come now." Go to Duke Zhao's mansion to visit uncle and discuss countermeasures."

Princess Jin's face flushed slightly, she held Li Zhi's palm with her backhand, and said softly: "This concubine is reckless, Your Highness is confident, and she will surely save the day and achieve great things!"

Li Zhi smiled softly, nodded slightly, let go of Princess Jin's hand, and walked out of the main hall.

The breeze was blowing outside, and the spring breeze brought warmth. The imperial guards had already put on the carriage and waited in the yard. Li Zhi boarded the carriage and closed the door. The smile on his face disappeared slowly, replaced by a solemn look.

Tapping lightly with his fingers on the carved lacquer coffee table, he went through the current situation carefully in his mind, and then came to a conclusion.

The most important thing for him to go to Zhao Guogong's mansion this time is not to give comfort and support to his eldest grandson Wuji, but to warn...

……

When the carriage arrived at the gate of Duke Zhao's mansion, Li Zhi opened the door and got out of the carriage. A servant from the eldest grandson's family had already greeted him and bowed to welcome him into the main entrance.

When he arrived at the study room, he saw Changsun Wuji standing at the door in ordinary clothes, bowed his hands and bowed to the ground: "The old minister has seen His Highness, but he didn't know that His Highness came, so I couldn't meet him from afar. Forgive me for my sin."

Li Zhi quickly stepped forward to help his eldest Sun Wuji up, the smile on his face was as pleasant and relaxed as a spring breeze: "This king has nothing to do, and he rushes through the house, why should uncle be so polite? Speaking of which, this king You should have let me know in advance that you are being rude."

Changsun Wuji looked at the smile on Li Zhi's face, but his mood did not improve. He squeezed out a smile and said sideways, "Your Highness, please talk in the study."

Li Zhi said: "Please!"

The bento advanced to the study.

Changsun Wuji followed up, turned around and closed the door with his backhand, and then let Li Zhi take the upper seat, and he was accompanied by the next prime minister.

The two sat down, Changsun Wuji sighed, and said dejectedly: "Your Highness must have heard the news from the palace, so you came to appease the old minister? Alas! It's all because of the old minister's negligence. However, I never thought that there would be such an arrogant and rebellious person, miscalculation, miscalculation."

He covered his face with his hands, and seemed shameless.

Li Zhi comforted him and said, "Uncle, why do you have to be like this? In life, there will always be times when you are negligent and slack, and your opponents will take the opportunity to attack you. It still takes many years of planning and operation, how can the winner be determined overnight? The highest goodness is like water, water is good for all things without fighting, and it is the evil of everyone, so it is more than Tao. The good of water has no permanent shape, no permanent power, and the enemy is strong We are weak, the enemy is weak and we are strong, so the small ones are silent, and the big ones are turbulent. We only need to wait for the time to act and let nature take its course."

Changsun Wuji put down his hands, frowned and said: "How could Your Highness have such an idea? The current situation is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. If you don't fight, how can you seize it and come from behind?"

However, he also admitted Li Zhi's point of view, the fight still needs to be fought, but it doesn't have to be so fierce.

Li Zhi leaned on the back of his chair and said in a low voice: "Father, the imperial conquest is imminent. Once he leaves Chang'an, what he fears the most is that someone will take the opportunity to stir up troubles in Chang'an, causing unrest in the government and the public and people's hearts. At this time , Whoever dances fiercely will lose the most points, and whoever can take care of the overall situation will be more able to win the favor of the father. In the final analysis, the ownership of the reserve is not the father's heart, and the gang is arbitrary?"

Changsun Wuji's face was not very good-looking, but he still nodded slightly.

The king is away, the ministers are assisting the prince to supervise the country, and the frontline is raging. At this time, the most important thing is the stability of the capital. Otherwise, if the situation changes in the turbulent situation, how can His Majesty Li Er fight with peace of mind?
Whoever made him worry, he must investigate afterwards.

Seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji was willing to listen to persuasion, Li Zhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed: "Of course, this king also knows that my uncle has been wronged this time, and I feel the same in my heart, and share the same hatred."

Changsun Wuji's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he wanted to reach out to touch the wound on his forehead, but he held back.

More than a grievance?
What a shame!
After all, he was once the "No. [-] Hero of Zhenguan". At the peak of his prosperity, even Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Xiao Yu, the ministers of His Majesty Li Er's humerus, had to give up three points. Now being abused and humiliated by a junior like this, he almost loses all his face.

However, Li Zhi was able to come to condolences as soon as he got the news, Changsun Wuji was somewhat relieved in his heart.

Above the imperial court, the conflict of interests and political contests are all ruthless. The reason why he supports Jin Wang to contend for heir is not out of his nephew's feelings, but purely for his own benefit.

But behind the benefits, there is a bit of warmth, which really makes people feel more warm and happy...

However, before he could feel the long-lost warmth, he heard Li Zhi say again: "But I still want to advise my uncle, no matter how much uncle hates Fang Jun in his heart, don't take any bottomless measures." Means. This king wants to compete for the reserve position, and even more wants to make great achievements in the future, but he is absolutely unwilling to have his hands stained with the blood of brothers, relatives and friends, and step on the bones of the corpses along the way. If it has to be like this, then this king Wang would rather give up fighting for the crown."

Changsun Wuji was stunned, and stared at Li Zhi in disbelief, as if he knew him for the first time.
