Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3294 Chujun is amazing
Sure enough, Cen Wenwen, an old Jianghu who has been in the court all his life, naturally "understands" the meaning of Li Chengqian's words in seconds, and said righteously: "Your Highness, what you said is wrong! The struggle between courts is nothing more than a competition for interests, but there must be The bottom line needs to be obeyed, and everyone's battles are within a certain range. Whoever crosses the distance and breaks through the bottom line is despising His Majesty and the king's laws! The laws of the country are like iron and cannot be desecrated. Those who blatantly trample on the laws of the country are tolerant and tolerant, and ignore them? Well, His Highness bears the weight of the country, so naturally there are many scruples and all kinds of considerations, but the old minister is an old bone, buried up to his neck with loess, what is there to be afraid of? Even if his body is broken, We must also uphold the majesty of the national law, bring those rebellious officials and thieves to justice, and punish the law!"

After some impassioned words, Cen Wenwen got up after saluting, and left.

Needless to say, the memorial will be handed over to the Zhengshitang early in the morning, and the disciples behind him will even make noise to expose the case thoroughly.

Storm is coming.

When Cen Wenwen walked out, Xiao Yu looked at Li Chengqian with a helpless wry smile, and said, "Why do you do this, Your Highness? It's just a matter of forbearance for a while, and when His Majesty returns to Beijing, all those ghosts and sprites will be punished. Who dares to make a move?" Something out of the ordinary? But if His Highness confronts the Guanlongmen Clan directly, the future is really uncertain."

He used the phrase "unpredictable future", and naturally he was not only talking about the current case, but about Li Chengqian's position as the heir apparent.

After the maid filled the teacup with tea, Li Chengqian picked up the teacup and took a sip, then sat upright, looked at Xiao Yu with both eyes, and said indifferently: "The world says that Gu has a weak character, which is true, but... Gu is not blind In the face of the courtiers who are loyal to the king, I am willing to be weak. This world is not only the world of Li and Tang, but also the world of the courtiers and the people. Whether you are a monarch or a prince, you don’t necessarily have to be decisive, cruel, and fierce. The ministers should be loyal to the emperor, and the emperor treats the ministers like humerus. Why not be more generous and loving to each other? It’s just that although Gu is kind, he is not He is a generation who is at the mercy of others, and there is no bottom line for collaborating with the enemy and treason like the Guanlongmen faction, so he will never be tolerated!"

Seeing His Royal Highness showing such a strong attitude, Xiao Yu could only sigh lightly, but he also recognized the prince a little more.

As the prince said, which courtier is willing to work under the hands of emperors like Shi Huang and Han Wu?Although you can create eternal achievements, you can be with you like a tiger, and if you make a mistake, you will be forever. No matter how your past achievements are shown, if you make a mistake, you will not be able to escape punishment.

Slaughtering courtiers is as casual as eating and drinking tea.

It is indeed a good thing for the courtiers to be softer and more generous like the prince. From this point of view, the other princes may not be as good as the prince...

After pondering for a while, Xiao Yu said: "It is true that Cen Jingren took the lead in resisting the hatred of the Guanlongmen Clan, but we should not act too hastily. There have been a series of turmoil in the court before, and there are many ideas among the various forces. For disadvantages, you might as well procrastinate for a while, and make further calculations after His Majesty returns to Beijing."

This time, Xiao Yu did not hide any selfishness.

Before that, there were many turmoil inside and outside Chang'an, and the forces behind it were ready to move, but there was still a lack of a suitable time, so of course they stood still.

However, once the Guanlongmen faction is severely punished, they will definitely not sit still. Once they are launched, they will inevitably involve a lot of people.

At that time, demons will dance wildly, not to mention whether it can overthrow the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian, the crown prince, will definitely be questioned, and it is not impossible to step down.

And once the crown prince changes hands, the court will become even more chaotic under the influence of huge interests. At that time, even if His Majesty Li Er returns to Chang'an, he will not be able to appease the forces of all parties in a short time...

Too dangerous.

Li Chengqian naturally understood this truth. He sipped the tea slowly while holding the teacup. Just when Xiao Yu thought he was hesitating and retreating, he saw Li Chengqian put the teacup on the table and said in a deep voice: "At present, the empire seems to be full of flowers. The fire is cooking the oil, but the internal struggle is actually chaotic, which is a huge hidden crisis."

Xiao Yu was silent.

Anyone who has some opinions on the government knows that the Tang Dynasty in front of him is actually in crisis.The root of the crisis lies in the clans, but not all the clans have the willingness and ability to endanger the peace of the empire. The instigator is the Guanlong clan who once dominated the world and was once powerful.

These guys have tasted the sweetness of changing the dynasty. Once they feel that the current political situation cannot allow them to grab the greatest benefits as before, they will inevitably think of repeating the same mistakes, destroying a country, establishing a country, and enjoying the "meritorious achievements" over and over again. glory and power.

They have this mind, and they have this ability.

But this cannot be said clearly, because the Li Tang imperial family is also a member of the Guanlong clan, and like the former Hongnong Yang clan, they are the ones who have tasted the greatest sweetness...

Li Chengqian's eyes were clear and his expression was calm, but his words were resounding: "The disaster of the family is actually the root of the chaos of the country! Therefore, the father is determined to suppress the family, and he is alone. He should only follow his father's will, Be steadfast. Besides, today Gu can bear it and not say anything, but those who are connected with foreign countries and have no thoughts of family and country are still lurking in the court, which is really a serious problem. Even if Gu, the crown prince, is deposed by his father, as long as These people are still there, no matter which brother will succeed the Great Reign in the future, these people will always be troublesome, and they will easily stir up storms and endanger the country."

He stared at Xiao Yu, and said slowly: "Instead of letting Gu's brothers face these wolves, tigers and leopards with human faces and beast hearts in the future, why should Gu give up the position of the princes and pull all these people down today? For the sake of my father , for the sake of the empire, for the sake of my brothers, I would not hesitate to sacrifice myself!"

Xiao Yu's face was full of shock, and he was speechless, unable to speak for a while.

All along, he has always looked down on the prince. Even though he thought it would be good for the prince to succeed to the throne just now, he also looked down on him in his heart, thinking that such a weak monarch is easy to handle, and his life is much easier.

But he didn't expect such a generous and strong heart to be hidden under this weak and benevolent mask!
The prince is different from others, once he is deposed, he has never had a good death, so Li Chengqian intends to use the lives of the East Palace and the Guanlong clan to die together!
What kind of determination is this, is it something that a weak and incompetent prince should have?

Xiao Yu hurriedly got up and left the table, bowed and saluted, and said: "Your Highness, calm down, the old minister is amazed at such a grand ambition, and I respect him very much! It's just that it may not have reached this point, why not let Cen Jingren take the lead in breaking things up first, and see who The reaction of the other side's forces will be decided later."

This is not stated clearly, but it is actually telling Li Chengqian, please calm down for a while, and wait for the old minister to discuss with those people first. It would be best if they can each confess their crimes.

Even as Zaifu, both public and private, Li Chengqian had to prevent Li Chengqian from carrying out such a strategy of burning jade and stone together.

Once Li Chengqian went into battle shirtless and fought to the death with the Guanlongmen Clan, it was his negligence as the prime minister.His Majesty Li Er not only entrusted state affairs to the crown prince, but also entrusted the crown prince to these ministers, allowing the crown prince and the Guanlong Clan to fight to the death. Guess how His Majesty Li Er will treat him as an auxiliary government after returning to Beijing Minister?

What's more, the various qualities shown by Li Chengqian now made Xiao Yu change his contempt for him in the past, and feel that although Li Chengqian is weak, he can be called benevolent, and there is something in his bones that he is willing to stick to.It may not be a good thing if he succeeds to the Great Reign so smoothly.

At least it is much better than the superior Jinwang Highness who has always been close to the Guanlongmen Clan.

It is conceivable that once Li Chengqian is abolished and the King of Jin ascends to power, the court will immediately reproduce the pattern of the Guanlongmen Clan's dominance in the early years of Zhenguan.

Xiao Yu did not forget how arrogant and domineering the Guanlong clan headed by Changsun Wuji controlled the government in those years, and how they suppressed the Shandong aristocratic families and the Jiangnan gentry.After finally surviving until today, the Guanlongmen Clan gradually weakened, and Shandong and Jiangnan gradually entered the court to take power, how could they hand it back to the Guanlongmen Clan?

Thinking about it carefully, Li Chengqian's statement is a bit surprising...

Li Chengqian nodded slightly, and said: "Duke Song, don't worry, I'm not a three-year-old child, so I won't be impulsive and reckless to ruin a big event."

Just let Xiao Yu convey his will to the Guanlongmen Clan, if the gang of thieves are in awe and are willing to confess their crimes and wait to be punished, he doesn't have to take it seriously, he would rather die and drag the Guanlongmen Clan to be buried with him.The imperial court still pays attention to checks and balances. In the past, Guanlong was powerful, and it was necessary to cultivate the power of Jiangnan and Shandong to fight against it. If Guanlong is completely overthrown, and the powerful people in Jiangnan and Shandong come to power, they may not be much more restrained than Guanlong. .
