Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3381 Self-righteous
The injury of His Majesty Li Er who fell into a coma from the horse was reported back to Chang'an, which shocked Li Chengqian and all the ministers in the Lizheng Hall, and a deep crisis immediately surfaced in front of them.

The bottom line of this matter is Chang Sun Chong's guilt, how could Chang Sun Wuji let the Chang Sun family bear such a heinous crime for Chang Sun Chong?
Li Daozong said solemnly: "Your Highness, it should be ordered that from now on, the troops stationed in various places in Guanzhong must guard their barracks and not leave without authorization, otherwise they will be punished as treason!"

Although the Eastern Expedition took away most of the garrisons in Guanzhong, each army also left some troops in order to maintain the stability of the capital.However, even this very small number of troops, once they change, can cause extremely serious damage to the situation.

After all, the defenders of Chang'an City are also stretched thin...

Of course, everyone understood what Li Daozong meant, and he was referring specifically to the guards on the left and right outside the Xuanwu Gate.

The left and right guards guard the Xuanwu Gate and guard the north gate of the Taiji Palace. These two armies are now the most well-organized and have the largest number of soldiers in the entire Guanzhong area. If one of them changes, the Taiji Palace will be in danger immediately.

If Taiji Palace falls... the situation is unimaginable.

Ma Zhou echoed, "Your Highness can order Duke Qiao to restrain the army and horses under his command, and send a supervisor to stabilize the morale of the army."

The left and right guards complement each other and restrict each other, but now half of the right guards follow the Duke of Yue to conquer the Western Regions, leaving only half of the army led by Gao Kan, and their strength is greatly reduced.However, the Zuo Tunwei preserved its strength because the Duke of Qiao State, Chai Zhewei, refused to go to the Western Regions because he was afraid of the battle and refused to go to the Western Regions because of his illness.

Li Chengqian spoke softly, his eyebrows furrowed, and he felt very headache.

He didn't have time to hurt his father's injury at this moment. As time went by, the news that his father fell into a coma from a horse would inevitably spread throughout the capital.No matter how Li Ji blocked the news within the Tang army, Goguryeo would definitely spread the news widely in Chang'an City and even in the Tang Dynasty, so as to shake the morale of the Tang army.

When the news spreads, various forces will inevitably have various thoughts, and the situation will take a turn for the worse and fall into crisis.

What worries him the most is naturally the left and right guards outside the Xuanwu Gate.

You Tunwei is lucky to say that Gao Kan was promoted by Fang Jun. Since Fang Jun would rather take Pei Xingjian and Cheng Wuting to the west and leave Gao Kan to sit in Xuanwu Gate, it means that not only Gao Kan's ability has been recognized by him, but his character His loyalty is even firmer.

But Zuo Tunwei is different.

Chai Zhewei, Duke of Qiao State, inherited the position of General Zuo Tunwei, in charge of Zuo Tunwei, and stayed in the palace. However, he was very dissatisfied with Fang Jun in private. The clan and Guan Long are very close.

If the situation in Chang'an really changes suddenly, and someone covets the position of the crown prince and tries to carry out a mutiny to wipe out the East Palace, the Zuo Tunwei will naturally be a force that can ensure the success of his plot...

However, Chai's family has been favored by the emperor, and Chai Zhewei has never been at fault, so how could he be deprived of his military power at this time?If he really did this, maybe Chai Zhewei had no intention of mutiny in the first place, so he was forced to do it.

Xiao Yu pondered for a long time at the side, then suddenly said: "Everyone is worried that the Guanlongmen clan will take risks and directly carry out mutiny to dethrone the East Palace, and then help the King of Jin to take the throne, so as to achieve the purpose of conforming to His Majesty's wishes, so as to reduce the guilt... It seems so , which is quite unreasonable.”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and seeing everyone looked over, he continued: "What kind of person is your majesty? It may be flattering to say that the emperor is one emperor through the ages, but it is absolutely unacceptable to praise the majesty and grandeur." Not an exaggeration. Moreover, His Majesty has always been staunch. Even if the crown prince he set up was really deposed, it must have come from his decree. How could he let others take over? If the Guan Longmen Clan really did that, His Majesty might hold his nose and admit it. Your Majesty, go along with the current and push the boat to appoint the King of Jin as the Crown Prince, but the anger towards the Guanlongmen Clan in his heart will only intensify. Your Majesty is now in the prime of life, and it is not known when the Crown Prince will be enthroned. In this period of time, how can the Guanlongmen Clan eliminate Your Majesty? to achieve the goal of self-protection?"

A passage made everyone nod their heads one after another, thinking it made a lot of sense.

Li Chengqian also said: "And everyone, don't forget that it has not been a day or two since the emperor father suppressed the Guanlongmen faction. The reason why he used the methods to ease it in the past is that Guanlong's roots are deeply entrenched, and a single hair can affect the whole body, and it is also because of his mother. Yu Yin is still there, and my father does not want to completely tear my face. But once the East Palace is deposed by the Guanlongmen Clique, it will touch the bottom line of the imperial power. How can my father bear it? My father is wise and powerful, and he is not alone. A kind-faced and soft-hearted person!"

Several important officials of the Eastern Palace nodded in unison.

This analysis is really penetrating. If the Guanlongmen faction dared to carry out a mutiny to depose the East Palace, they would naturally want to grab greater benefits.

However, even if they succeeded in their plan, and finally supported the king of Jin to the throne, how could His Majesty allow them to depose the crown prince and still have high-ranking officials and horses to ride, all powerful and rich?

Therefore, the possibility of the Guanlongmen faction taking advantage of His Majesty's serious injuries to mutiny is very slim...

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the situation is becoming more and more critical as the news of His Majesty's injury spreads, as long as the Guanlongmen Clan does not carry out a mutiny or mobilize weapons in Chang'an City, the worst situation will not be reached.

With the support of the Eastern Palace now from Shandong aristocratic families and Jiangnan gentry, the ruling and opposition parties have almost occupied all the important yamen, so they can deal with it calmly and eliminate the crisis.

Ma Zhoudao: "Song Guogong's words are indeed old-fashioned and profound. However, His Highness should not ignore it lightly. The Guanlong clan will not launch a mutiny to depose the East Palace, but some people in the clan have to guard against it!"

Li Chengqian nodded repeatedly.

Although His Majesty Li Er has been on the throne for more than ten years, and the world is approaching, there are still some people in the clan who are worried about the changes in the Xuanwu Gate, and even eyeing the throne of the emperor, and have never given up their ambition to replace it.

Once the news came that the father was seriously ill and comatose, someone would have to commit a treasonous act.

After all, it is impossible for the Guanlongmen faction to usurp the throne and stand on their own under the current situation no matter how they plan. Their power and status will still be attached to the emperor, so they naturally have a lot of scruples in doing things and dare not act recklessly.However, the clan is different. As long as they stand up, it will inevitably be the end of the usurpation of the dynasty, which heralds a bloody battle for the throne. Either they will fight against the king and become the hegemony, or they will be completely defeated and there will be no bones left.
As long as a mutiny is launched to capture Chang'an, you can stand on your own and proclaim yourself emperor. After that, there must be countless people who follow the trend, and then block hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses from the Eastern Expeditionary Army outside Yuguan, preventing them from successfully breaking through Yuguan and entering Hebei to return. Guanzhong is bound to cause the morale of the army to shake, and perhaps a big event can be achieved...

Although there are many dangers among them, which one of them has not overcome all difficulties, gone through hardships and dangers, and achieved grand plans and hegemony in the impossible?

As long as there is such a glimmer of hope, countless ambitious people will fly to the flame and flock to it.

Li Chengqian nodded, sighed heavily, with a sad expression on his face, and said suddenly: "My father was a hero, but he accidentally fell off a horse and was injured. He was alone as a son of man, and he couldn't serve the bed. It is really heartbreaking and heartbreaking... Father Hand over the responsibility of supervising the country to Gu, and Gu will swear to the death to stabilize the country, otherwise, how can I see my father again? Today, there are many dangers, and I hope that you will help each other wholeheartedly. Gu will definitely remember your loyalty, and will never be together for a lifetime burden!"

After speaking, he got up and left the table, bowed to the ground, and paid respects.

How dare you bear it?Quickly got up, stepped aside one after another, and bowed back.

Xiao Yu said: "As ministers, it is our duty to share the worries of the king. How dare you be such a great gift as His Royal Highness? Absolutely not!"

Although you know that "you will never lose each other for the rest of your life" is nonsense, today you, Xiao Yu, will treat you wholeheartedly, and if you switch to the camp tomorrow, you will wish to tear you apart... But as the crown prince, you can be so frugal Xiajiao, daring to say such a sentence is already extremely rare.

After all, imperial power is supreme and cannot be desecrated. A sentence like this today may become a fetter that restrains imperial power in the future.

His Majesty Li Er certainly treats the hero with a broad mind and generosity, but it may not be because he made too many promises like this back then. Today, he is not easy to break his promise and become fat, and he is scolded by people for being ungrateful and ungrateful... …

It's not that being an emperor is just talking nonsense and being cold-hearted, but that the imperial power is supreme, and in order to stabilize the imperial power and pass it on from generation to generation, there are too many compromises and concessions.
