Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3469 Loyalty and Filial Piety
Li Zhi sat on the chair, slightly bowed his head to look at the kneeling eldest grandson Wuji in front of him, and asked, "Is there any imperial edict?"

Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty's wishes are known to everyone. Now that the East Palace is immoral, and the world has turned their backs, causing the soldiers and civilians in Guanzhong to enter the city to remonstrate. Just..."

"The king is asking you,"

He was interrupted by Li Zhi again: "Is there an imperial edict?"

Changsun Wuji turned his mind and said: "Of course there is a will... When the rebel army outside captures the Taiji Palace and deposes the crown prince, His Highness can take out the will and promulgate it to the world. Everyone will be convinced."

There is definitely no will, but what is it?All you need to do is capture the Taiji Palace, find the jade seal, write a temporary edict and stamp the jade seal on it and promulgate it to the world, and you will be justified.By then the overall situation will be settled, who will be full enough to question the authenticity of this will?
The general trend is in hand, even if someone doubts it, it is useless.

Li Zhi sat on the chair and bowed his head in silence.

Changsun Wuji secretly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, it is fate for His Majesty to die, and His Majesty died in the Liaodong Army, and until the time of his funeral, he still couldn't forget and brood over His Highness' failure to succeed to the throne. Your Highness is sincere and filial, how can you live up to His Majesty's love and trust? Your Highness is promoted to the crown prince, and then succeeds to the throne as the emperor.

Li Zhi shook his head slightly, his expression was tangled, and he still refused to speak.

Changsun Wuji persuaded: "His Royal Highness has always been determined to win the position of crown prince. Now, God has given you a good opportunity to fight for the first place and make decisive decisions! Don't you want to be promoted to crown prince, ascend the throne and become emperor, and don't want to spend your whole life to complete your majesty's success?" Is it your legacy?"

Faintly, he noticed that there might be some unpredictable changes in Li Zhi's mood, which made him anxious.

And it's hard to understand, this pheasant slave has always been covetous about the position of the crown prince, and he has done so many tricks and stumbling blocks in secret. All he wants to do is to replace the Eastern Palace and become the heir to the empire. The Tang Empire reached another peak.

How come the opportunity is right in front of you now, as long as he nods, the Guanlong clan will try their best to push him to the position he dreams of...but he is so entangled and hesitant?
Li Zhi was silent for a while, then raised his head, and said slowly: "Uncle, for this king's affairs, has put in all his heart and soul, and dragged his old body regardless of the hardships of traveling thousands of miles. He also wants to return to Beijing to preside over the overall situation. This king is grateful and impressed." Within five..."

These words made Changsun Wuji cuddle in his heart, but he was full of suspicion, how could I not see the slightest "tear of gratitude" on your face?
Then, Li Zhi let out a long breath, and continued: "It's just the position of the crown prince, whether it's the emperor's position, from now on, don't mention it again."

"..."

Rao is the eldest grandson Wuji who has been accustomed to the wind and waves all his life and has been sharpened for a long time, but at this moment he is also dumbfounded, almost thinking whether he is deaf, deaf, and has auditory hallucinations due to his age...

After a pause, he just came back to his senses, looked at Li Zhi in disbelief, and asked, "What are you talking about, Your Highness?"

After Li Zhi frowned, he stretched his eyebrows, looked at Changsun Wuji and sighed, "The crown prince of the Tang Dynasty is the elder brother of the prince, who was registered by his father to announce to the world and to the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty. Now that the father has passed away, then The elder brother of the crown prince should inherit the great position and ascend the throne as the emperor. As a minister, if you want to covet the great position at this time, how is it different from a rebellious minister?"

Changsun Wuji was stunned.

He really couldn't understand Li Zhi's intentions at this moment, so he couldn't help asking: "But isn't your highness always looking for a reserve position? Everyone in the world knows about this. Could it be that at this time, your highness thinks the prince will forget about it?" In the past, do you think His Highness has never attempted to get involved in the reserve position?"

Among His Majesty's sons, there are not many who covet the reserve position, but even Li Tai, the king of Wei, has never been more eager to reserve the position than Li Zhi.Now seeing a heaven-sent opportunity in front of you, even if you, Li Zhi, don't have to do anything, the Guanlong Clan will push you to the supreme position in the world, but you say you want to be a loyal minister and general, and support the crown prince?

This bastard, he must have taken some wrong medicine...

However, Li Zhi said: "What does the prince brother think, that is the prince's brother's business. When I was fighting for the heir, I did not secretly frame and plot against the prince's brother, but blindly showed my talent and filial piety in front of my father. In this world It is the world of the father, and whoever the father controls the world will be his. Therefore, this king is only fighting for the reserve from the father, but will never go to snatch it from the prince's brother. If the father is still there, then This king will still try his best to fight for the reserve position, and let his father know that this king is the one who is most suitable to take over the empire. But now that his father has died and has not left a will, the prince of the empire is still the elder brother of the prince. No one can change it! How can this king disregard the crown prince who was registered by his father, don't think of brotherhood, no father and no brother, only for his own selfish desires? Such unfaithful, unfilial, rebellious behavior, this king will not Why."

Changsun Wuji stared blankly at the nephew in front of him whom he had grown up with, startled and angry.

What is surprising is that this kid has been planning to reserve a position for many years, but now seeing that the reserve position is at his fingertips, he makes such an extremely stupid decision; what is angry is that this "disloyal, unfilial, and rebellious" is just scolding his eldest grandson Wuji ?

It really makes no sense!
Could this child be a bumper today?
However, this is not important. The most important thing is that the Guanlongmen faction has already exhausted its wealth, gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses into Chang'an City, besieged the Taiji Palace, and was about to enter the Forbidden Palace to depose the prince, but in the end they gave their full support. His Royal Highness King Jin flinched and quit...

So what's the point of this remonstrance?
If the king of Jin does not support the superior, and the prince is deposed here, no matter who ascends to the position of prince or even becomes emperor in the future, he will definitely define the remonstrance of the Guanlongmen faction as "rebellion". No matter how great the Longmen Clan's achievements were in the past, and how powerful they are today, they will definitely be completely cut off.

Even though there will be no massacres to make people's heads roll into rivers of blood, the direct descendants of various families in Guanlong will either be killed in the city or exiled for three thousand miles. Completely annihilated...

How does this make it!
Just thinking about the consequences, Changsun Wuji felt chills in his heart and his whole body was icy cold. He no longer cared about the dignity of a ruler and minister, and suddenly stood up from the ground.

Standing too suddenly, I felt dizzy for a while, and almost fell headlong...

Finally stabilized, calmed down, glared at Li Zhi with both eyes, and shouted: "It's ridiculous! There are tens of thousands of people in Guanlongmen, who are not afraid of being enemies of the world for the great cause of His Highness, throwing their heads and spilling blood If you are willing to take risks and look at the great success, your Highness abandons us at this time, how can you bear it? You only care about loyalty, filial piety and righteousness, but how will we deal with our courtiers who rushed forward for you?"

Li Zhi blinked and wondered, "Where did uncle come from? Although I am grateful to all the families in Guanlong for their support over the years, I did not know about this remonstrance and did not participate in it. Flying the banner of the king to dethrone the East Palace... Is this what my uncle said is all for the king? That is really a group of loyal ministers and good generals, enough to be famous forever."

He is not stupid, how could he not know the intention of the Guanlongmen Clan?
They did not inform them when they made an appointment in advance, nor did they ask for any opinions on how to dispatch troops. It was not until now that the rebels entered the city and besieged the Taiji Palace, and it seemed that they were sure of victory. Your Highness.

Why don't you try to downplay the influence of this king in this remonstrance, and then push this king to the top, so that this king has neither merit nor prestige, so that you can override this king and seize the power of the government, This king is completely raised as your puppet?
At any rate, this king is also of the blood of the emperor, an emperor and a nobleman. Just like a marionette, you play with it in your hands, and even bear the crimes of deposing the East Palace, mutilating your brothers, and taking it against you. It is notorious in history. Still have to thank Dade?
motherfucker!

All the dirty water was poured on me, but the benefits were swallowed by you?
Go ahead and make your spring and autumn dreams, I won't play with you anymore!
……

Changsun Wuji was angry and impatient, so he could naturally understand the dissatisfaction and resentment in Li Zhi's words. If it was normal, he would definitely reprimand and teach this self-righteous kid to understand the reason why his arms can't twist his thighs. Teach him how to respect his elders and not disobey them.

However, at the moment, he could only hold back his anger and try his best to persuade Li Zhi to accept the "good intentions" of the Guanlongmen Clan, obediently stand up and inherit the reserve position, and then wait until the capital is pacified, and take advantage of the situation to ascend the throne as emperor to determine the overall situation.

Otherwise, the Guanlongmen clan will not be able to end...
