Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3936 History is similar
Yu Chigong obviously didn't want to be dismissed by such a sentence. Now that Li Ji is the commander of the Eastern Expedition Army, he must obey Li Ji's military orders, but it doesn't mean that he is willing to walk the same path with Li Ji and take on responsibilities that don't belong to him.

He asked: "What is the idea... Can the commander-in-chief tell me?"

Li Ji withdrew his gaze, his expression was calm and calm, and he said slowly: "This matter is confidential, and I have no comment. You just need to obey the military order. If you violate it, don't blame the military law for being ruthless."

Facing such a tough attitude, Yu Chigong remained silent, but felt unwilling.

He couldn't figure it out, if Li Ji's original behavior could be understood as a desire to sit back and watch the Eastern Palace be destroyed, and then command the army to return to Beijing to quell the rebellion and establish another prince. The mutiny was defeated, and Li Ji's intentions had been completely shattered. It was time to quickly return to Chang'an to express his loyalty to the prince, so as to make up for his previous mistakes as much as possible and eliminate the prince's resentment. But why did Li Ji still turn a blind eye to the East Palace and didn't care about it?
Li Ji has always claimed that His Majesty is seriously injured and critically ill, and that he will be taken care of by personal guards and internal servants, and no one is allowed to see him, but everyone knows that His Majesty must have passed away, and the coffin that was prepared in that courtyard is said to be in case of emergencies. In fact, it must have come in handy.

When the coffin returns to Chang'an, the bad news must be announced to the world. After the state funeral, the crown prince can justifiably ascend the throne. If you dare to lead an army into Beijing to stop it, that would be treason!
When the prince ascends the throne, what Li Ji is doing right now is very likely to puncture the prince's face, even if the prince wants to bear it, he can't bear it, otherwise what is the king's prestige?
Does Li Ji dare to rebel?

Yu Chigong didn't think so.

Even if he dared, how many people in the army would follow him to do such treasonous things and take the risk of destroying the three clans?

The drizzle is continuous, and the mountains are as green as Dai.

Fang Jun put on his helmet and armor, and stood on his horse. Surrounded by his own soldiers and a group of Donggong Six Leaders, he stood in front of the imperial mausoleum. Wang Litai said with emotion: "I have met Concubine Xu several times in the past, and I only feel that this woman is beautiful, beautiful and intelligent, as if she has the charm of Jiangnan in her body. A few words can make people feel kind. But unexpectedly, her temperament is so soft on the outside and strong on the inside. , as the saying goes, 'A deep love does not last long, and the extreme of wisdom will hurt', it is really a strange woman."

What I think in my heart is that this woman is as deeply affectionate as in history, and she is willing to commit suicide to follow His Majesty Li Er under the Jiuquan, which is indeed deeply admirable.

But a little reckless, I don't know how sad and sentimental someone will be caused when the news of Concubine Xu's death spreads...

Li Tai sat on the horse in a prince's robe, and said dissatisfied: "Father's woman, you and a lowly generation like you can comment at will? Beware of being overheard by the censors, there is no end to impeaching you!"

But thinking that his father might have passed away at this moment, his heart was filled with sadness. He didn't have the heart to chat with Fang Jun, sighed, and fixedly looked at the winding and dormant Jiuyi Mountain in front of him, recalling his childhood with his father, The good times when the mother and queen were having fun at the knees, couldn't help but increase the grief, tears in the eyes.

Fang Jun glanced at him, and asked curiously: "At the beginning, Changsun Wuji came to the door, intending to support you as the crown prince. At that time, the news of your majesty's misfortune must have spread in Chang'an City. Once you become the crown prince, it is logical that you will be the new king... Why did you refuse?"

Li Tai sniffed and held back the tears in his eyes. He didn't want to show his sadness in front of others, so he reprimanded angrily: "In front of this king, you must respectfully call him 'His Royal Highness'! Do you have any rules? ? That’s what Fang Xiang taught you since you were a child? Don’t be a son of man!”

Fang Jun didn't take it seriously: "That's not the point, don't bother to talk about him, tell me what kind of mood you were in at that time?"

Although Li Tai has shown incomparable enthusiasm for the educational cause of Datang in recent years, he has devoted all his body and mind to the construction of rural schools, county schools and other projects, and is determined to spread the educational seeds of Datang to every village and every inch of land in the empire. However, he had coveted the position of the crown prince for many years, and was even very close to that position at one time. Fang Jun didn't believe it when he really let go of it completely.

It's more because seeing that road is difficult, and I really don't want to fight brothers and sisters, brothers turn against each other, and then bear the infamy of "killing brothers and plotting rebellion" to ascend to the throne of God, but my conscience is uneasy.

But at that time, Guan Long's army besieged the East Palace in the Taiji Palace, and the victory was close at hand. No matter whether Li Tai agreed or not, the end of the East Palace Prince seemed irreversible. Under such circumstances, Guan Long would definitely support a new crown prince. Well, whether you are the King of Wei, or the King of Jin, or other princes, there will always be someone who will take that position.Moral condemnation no longer exists. Anyone who sits sits. Why can't I sit?
The light rain was drizzling, and the robes on her body were already soaked, but on the occasion of Concubine Xu's funeral, naturally she couldn't be disrespectful to wear a coir raincoat and hold up an umbrella.

Li Tai wiped the rain off his face, and snorted, "You are purely judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. This king did covet that position, but this king doesn't think he is at fault. Anyone in the world can do that." Who dares to say that he is not tempted when the opportunity sits on Wenzhi? But since the king realized that if one day ascends to the reserve position, even if he becomes the emperor, he cannot decide the life and death of the crown prince and even the entire East Palace. I gave up that idea. This king wants to sit in that position, but he definitely doesn't want to sit on the corpses of his brothers and nephews."

These words were sincere, and it seemed that they were not just pleasant to say, but Fang Jun smiled and shook his head, not quite believing it.

Li Tai looked around and saw that the imperial guards were far away, so he lowered his voice and said, "You probably want to say that since the father was able to step on the bloody corpse of his brother to sit in the emperor's position, why did the king not?" Will it be so righteous and awe-inspiring?"

Fang Jun would not admit it, but the expression on his face confirmed it.

"Hey! You bastard with no father and no father..."

Li Tai cursed, and there was the sound of mourning and joy in the imperial mausoleum in front of him. The funeral must have come to an end, so he rode his horse closer to Fang Jun, and then said: "It's not that I was a son of man who defended my father, but the situation was so bad back then." It's the same... Before the change of Xuanwu Gate, Prince Jiancheng and Qi Wang Yuanji were afraid of their father's high achievements, and the Tiance Mansion under his command was like a cloud of fierce generals and counselors like rain, which greatly threatened his position as the crown prince. The most important thing is that Emperor Gaozu also stood on their side. At that time, Emperor Father had no intention of resisting, but it didn't matter if he died. How could there be anyone alive in the palace of King Qin? At that time, Emperor Father The decision to carry out the mutiny under the Xuanwu Gate seems to be for him to sit on the throne of the emperor, but in fact it is more to earn a way for our descendants to survive, put them to death and survive..."

He paused, and looked at the imperial tomb through the rain, where his mother lay buried, which made him feel even more depressed: "But the situation this king is facing is different. If this king wins the crown prince, the prince and the East Palace It's rare for the top and bottom to die well. On the contrary, if the crown prince continues to sit firmly in the reserve position, this king will not lose anything... When this king saw this clearly, he resolutely gave up the extravagant hope in his heart. You say that this king is hypocritical Well, it doesn't matter if I say that this king is righteous, in short, this is what this king thinks."

Fang Jun just doesn't know the truth of Li Tai's words, but looking at what he has done in the past two years, and the grandson Wuji came to lobby in person but was flatly rejected by him, Li Tai still has a bottom line .

Besides, as Li Tai said, who can ignore the power of the supreme under heaven?Whenever there is such a slight chance, the vast majority of people are willing to give everything and fight desperately.

Even a clan prince like Li Yuanjing covets the throne, let alone Wei Wang Li Tai who is more qualified than him?
This kind of deeds don't matter what you think, what you think in your heart is not important, what is more important is how you do it, Li Tai is not blinded by power, and he is going along with the flow to support his grandson Wuji, this is not easy, his style is amazing called noble.

He asked again: "Then why did King Jin reject Changsun Wuji?"

Compared to Li Tai, Li Zhi is obviously more enthusiastic about the reserve position. When an opportunity to become the crown prince is in front of him, Fang Jun finds it hard to believe that Li Zhi would sternly refuse.

Li Tai snorted, and said: "Do you think the pheasant slave is the idiot of the fifth? Someone throws a bone and picks it up humbly! The pheasant slave is deep in his mind. If he can't make sure everything is safe, he will definitely not give it to him." Throw it out yourself and become a tool for Changsun Wuji to control the court and subdue the world."

Speaking of this, he looked at Fang Jun with a half-smile: "You should be glad that Guan Long was defeated, otherwise the pheasant slave will definitely sit on the throne in the end... When the pheasant slave ascends the throne, you have to be careful, his boy I have been coveting that Lady Wu of your family for a long time, I am afraid that I will find an opportunity to punish you, and then do everything possible to bring the beauty into the palace, hey!"

Fang Jun spread his hands and responded helplessly.

The inertia of history is really terrible. Originally, Li Zhi took a fancy to Wu Meiniang, regardless of the fact that she was the second wife of Li Er, and wanted to do everything possible to marry Fangze.Now Wu Meiniang has entered Fang's house long ago to become his concubine, but Li Zhi was astonished when he first saw her, and never concealed his admiration...

The two were whispering, the funeral in front of them was about the same, after all, it was only a concubine, there were restrictions on the funeral regulations, and the current situation was difficult, so it was impossible to hold the funeral with great fanfare, so everything was kept simple.

Behind him, a fast horse galloped towards the wind and rain, and when he got close, the soldiers on the horse flew off the horse, knelt down on one knee and said, "Commander, Guan Long has given you an answer, His Royal Highness, please return to the palace immediately. Discuss matters."
