Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3471 The King of Wei
The essence of Chinese culture is "loyal" and "filial" sons. From ancient times to the present, no matter how vicious they are, they are unwilling to bear the infamy of "disloyal and unfilial".Sometimes even if you do such rebellious acts, you have to whitewash them and find a legitimate reason to show your integrity.

It doesn't matter whether others believe it or not, as long as you have a good posture and a righteous reason, and then win the final victory, then everything will be logical and will follow when conditions are ripe.

The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit, and history is always written by the winner. A loser is already dead, how to refute what the winner said and wrote?
As for the officials, soldiers and common people in the world, either they have heard the fake a hundred times and it becomes true, or they have their own interests at stake and don't care about the truth at all.

When this generation gradually passed away, only documents and history books remained.Even if future generations want to explore that period of history, should he believe in the written records of the history, or those unofficial stories passed down by word of mouth?

There is no choice at all.

……

The disciples of Guanlong, who followed Changsun Wuji, felt uneasy. If the king of Jin rejected the superior prince, then the reason for launching the remonstrance would be a complete joke. , Zongbing detains the que, causing chaos and chaos.

All of them are classified as "rebels"...

Although the essence of the military remonstrance is true, who would dare to admit such a crime?Back then, the Guanlongmen faction supported Yang Jian to replace Zhou Li in the Sui Dynasty, but they still wanted to make a good talk about "abdication". Even if they were dissatisfied with Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty's reuse of the Jiangnan gentry to suppress the Guanlongmen faction, they just launched various spokespersons to compete for the world, and finally supported the Li family in Longxi Seizing power in the name of "unifying the world, and ensuring peace and stability in the country".

Once the fate of "rebellion" is crowned on the head, the Guanlongmen Clan will be condemned by the people of the world, especially those Confucian children who are full of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and they will regard the Guanlong Clan as traitors and traitors.

If they are rejected by Confucianism, abused by those Confucian disciples and even written into the classics and history books to slander, then the Guanlongmen Clan will become like rats in the street and everyone will beat them up. Not only will they not be able to restore their former glory, they will even be unable to move forward... …

Followed Changsun Wuji to Furong Garden and watched him walk up the stone steps in front of Wei Wangfu, how could these people still not understand?
This must be because Jin Wang refused to ascend to the reserve position, Changsun Wuji had to retreat to the second best, and instead supported Wei Wang Li Tai, trying to make the Guanlongmen Clan's remonstrance at least nominally justifiable.After all, they are all the sons of His Majesty Li Er, Wei Wang Li Tai is even more qualified to replace the prince than Jin Wang Li Zhi.

However, Wei Wang Li Tai and Jin Wang Li Zhi had very different attitudes towards the Guanlong Clan. Li Tai, king of Wei, became famous at a young age, and his literary talents and classics were praised by old Confucians, and officials of Confucian origin in the court recognized him very much. These talents were Li Tai's foundation.

The most important thing is that Jin Wang Li Zhi is smart, but he is inexperienced and has a soft personality, which is easy to control; while Wei Wang Li Tai is arrogant and sharp.
……

The lanterns in front of Wei Wang's mansion were swaying in the wind, and the snowflakes were falling in a rustle. It had already accumulated a thick layer in front of the door, but no one cleaned it.

The gate is closed, only two stone lions stand majestically in the wind and snow.

Changsun Wuji frowned, and a servant beside him stepped forward quickly and knocked the copper door knocker in the shape of a pepper map.

"knock knock"

The sound of knocking on the door was not real in the wind and snow, and there was no response from the door for a long time.

The hearts of all the Guanlong disciples standing on the street sank. The sons of His Majesty Li Er are all human spirits. Could it be that they have already made up their minds not to be treated as puppets by the Guanlong Clan, and would rather the reserve position, Disdainful of the throne?
The servant looked back at Changsun Wuji, not knowing what to do.

Changsun Wuji remained expressionless, and said calmly, "Knock again!"

"Here!"

The servant hurriedly knocked the knocker vigorously again, and the sound of "Knock Knock Knock" spread in the wind and snow this time, but after a long time, there was still no response from the door.

Changsun Wuji's face was completely darkened, and he said loudly: "The old minister didn't answer the knock on the door. He was worried about the safety of His Royal Highness King Wei, so he had to force himself in. If there is any disturbance, please forgive me!"

With a wave of his hand, the soldiers and servants around him rushed up and slammed into the gate with the red lacquer copper ring. The gate made a "boom" and trembled a few times.Then, these people took two steps back, rushed forward again, broke the latch with a "boom", and knocked the door open.

A gust of cold wind blows snowflakes into the door, but there is a team of guards standing beside the corridors on both sides of the door.

These palace guards just stood there quietly, knocking on the door and answering, even though Changsun Wuji ordered someone to knock the door open, they still remained indifferent...

"Ha ha."

Changsun Wuji sneered, and said loudly: "The old minister is here to see His Royal Highness the King of Wei, please let me know."

The first guard replied: "His Royal Highness is waiting in the main hall, and he said that if Duke Zhao comes in person, he can go to see him himself, and there is no need to tell him."

Changsun Wuji: "..."

The bottom of my heart couldn't help sinking, this Li Tai's morality is a level deeper than Li Zhi's, and he actually gave himself such a prestige.

But at this moment, he has no turning back, and can only tell the people behind him: "Wait again, the old man enters to see His Royal Highness King Wei."

A group of Guanlong disciples hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhao, you can't do it!"

Now Changsun Wuji is the leader of Guanlong, and he is also the core of the remonstrance tonight. Seeing that the Wei Palace has no good intentions towards him, if Li Tai is bold enough to ambush people in the main hall, he will be ruthless when Changsun Wuji enters the palace. What should I do with the killer?

Changsun Wuji was quite bold, and said calmly, "It's okay!"

So he went inside, walked into the mansion along the corridor covered with heavy snow, and went straight to the main hall.

……

It was snowing heavily in the mansion, the main hall was brightly lit, orange candlelight shone through the windows, reflected in the courtyard, and snowflakes fell rustlingly.

The two servants stood at the door, and when they saw Zhangsun Wuji approaching quickly, they all bowed to salute, one of them turned around and entered the hall, turned around after a while, and said respectfully: "Your Highness invites Duke Zhao to come in for an audience."

Changsun Wuji had a gloomy face, without saying a word, he lifted his foot into the hall today.

Fire dragons were burning in the ground, and charcoal basins were placed at the four corners of the walls. The spacious hall was as warm as spring. King Wei Li Tai, dressed in ordinary clothes, was sitting on the main seat, drinking tea leisurely.

Changsun Wuji stepped forward, bowed and saluted: "Old minister, I have an audience with Your Highness."

Li Tai raised his eyes to look at Changsun Wuji, nodded slightly, and said, "Mr. Zhao, please take a seat. You are welcome."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Changsun Wuji took off the felt hat on his head, took two steps forward, and sat on Li Tai's chair.

Li Tai took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said calmly, "Mr. Zhao entered the mansion on a snowy night and asked for an audience. I don't know why?"

Instead of asking Changsun Wuji why he was no longer in the Liaodong Army, he was in Chang'an, and he didn't even owe him a cup of hot tea...

Changsun Wuji naturally wouldn't lose his composure because of this, and he didn't even have the slightest fluctuation in his emotions. He said slowly: "The East Palace has no way, favors and trusts traitors, and the subjects of the world have suffered for a long time, and the people's grievances are boiling. The old minister is deeply favored by the emperor, so he should set things right , To maintain the stability of the country, so boldly implement military advice, let the people of the world see what the people want, and force the East Palace to abdicate. But the country cannot be without a master for a day, the East Palace abdicates, and the reserve is vacant. Only His Royal Highness is both virtuous and determined to forge ahead Therefore, I rashly enter the mansion today, and implore Your Highness to take over the East Palace, assist His Majesty, and lead the subjects of the world."

After saying that, he got up and knelt down at the feet of Wei Wang Li Tai.

Li Tai remained silent, picked up the teacup and held it in his hand again, but because of too much force, the veins on the back of his hand were already prominent...

Changsun Wuji knelt there, what he was thinking was unknown.

After a long time, Li Tai put down his teacup again, his voice a bit stagnant and hoarse, and he asked word by word: "Father...has passed away?"

Changsun Wuji: "..."

Why are these sons born to His Majesty Li Er all so intelligent and almost monstrous?I didn't say anything, but Li Zhi and Li Tai successively guessed the truth.

After a pause, he said: "Your Majesty is here, but he was seriously injured, and he is in the army returning to Beijing while treating him."

Li Tai had a look of sadness on his face, but he forced himself to hold back, and smiled disdainfully: "If the emperor is here, with the courage of your eldest grandson Wuji, you dare to do such a rebellious act? Even if you are an old man If a dog has the guts to do this, how can it have the slightest chance of success?"
