Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4075 The situation is urgent
Today, it is no exaggeration for Li Ji to say "No. 1" in the court. Both civil and military parties are "under one person and above ten thousand people". He plays a decisive role in the ownership of the reserve position. Even His Majesty Li Er, who was arbitrary in Gan Gang, had to listen to Li Ji's opinions. If the new reserve he established could not be approved by Li Ji, His Majesty could only persuade him.

Once Li Ji contradicts His Majesty's will, it will easily cause a huge shock in the court, causing disturbances in Yi Chu's affairs.

After Cheng Yaojin asked, Li Zhi and Xiao Yu also looked at Zhang Xingcheng.

Zhang Xingcheng said with bitterness and hatred on his face: "To this day, the British Duke has long disobeyed the orders of the Shandong aristocratic family. There is nothing I can do, until the last moment, I am afraid that the British Duke will not reveal his true intentions."

Right now, Li Ji has become the biggest variable.

There is no way, although the Shandong family contributed a lot when Li Ji came to power, but later gave the Shandong family a lot of rewards, not to mention the fact that Zhang Xingcheng was able to get to where he is today because of Li Ji's hand, it is the current Shandong family. Isn't the increasingly large overseas trade of the various families all due to Li Ji's secret matchmaking with Fang Jun?

Li Ji and Fang Xuanling, who originally belonged to the Shandong lineage, have gradually begun to cut off from the Shandong family in recent years. The relationship is no longer as close as before. On the contrary, the two families are getting closer and closer, and their interests are deeply entangled...

However, no matter Li Ji, who was No.1 in the dynasty, or Fang Jun, who had mastered the sudden increase in the power of the navy, they were both far and near, indifferent to the Shandong family. This made the Shandong family extremely annoyed, but there was nothing they could do.

In the final analysis, the Shandong family not only needed Li Ji to look after the family and recommend children in the court, but also needed the huge profits brought by the sea trade to maintain a life of luxury and luxury.With more and more dependence, how can the Shandong aristocratic family be tough in front of Li Ji and the Fang family?

Not only can't give orders to him, but he has to look up to him and dare not offend him. This is why the Shandong family has vowed to enter the dynasty and lay a foundation.

Relying on people is worse than relying on yourself...

Li Zhi had a headache: "But the position of the British public is really important, and we have to test it out, otherwise we will be too passive."

Whether there is Li Ji's support is a very important matter for any prince who is interested in reserve, and based on this, a detailed plan for the reserve can be formulated.

If Li Ji's support can be won, the hope of reserve will be greatly increased.

Xiao Yu looked at Zhang Xingcheng, who quickly shook his head: "The British Duke has a lofty status and great achievements, how can I persuade you? If I come to the door at this moment, I am afraid that I will not even be able to enter the gate. This matter will have to be done by you personally. Row."

Xiao Yu frowned, also very distressed.

Li Ji had never been involved in the struggle for power and profit in the court. Although he was the head of the prime minister, he always ignored the affairs, which aroused His Majesty's dissatisfaction, thinking that he did not take responsibility. However, Li Ji still went his own way, which shows how stubborn his character is.It would be fine if he intended to support King Jin, but if not, who would be able to persuade him?

After thinking about it, he said helplessly: "Tomorrow I will go to see Shen Guogong to see what his position is. If he is willing to stand on His Highness's side, it will have an impact on Li Ji."

The "Bohai Gao Clan" is a Miao descendant of the Northern Qi royal family. Even though the Northern Qi Dynasty has been destroyed for many years, it has great influence among the two major families of Guanlong and Shandong. Moreover, Shen Guogong Gao Shilian had a great kindness for Li Ji back then, and the two have been in close contact over the years.

Li Zhi nodded: "This matter is bothering the Duke of Song, please tell the Duke of England, once it is done, the respect will be doubled in the future, and the status will remain the same, and we will not be held accountable."

As for the relationship, you can definitely find it if you look for it, but the decisive factor is the interest.

If you don't have enough benefits, why should Li Ji be on your side?
Xiao Yu nodded in response.

Although the words "respect doubled and status remains the same" mean that Li Ji's status will still be higher than him in the future, and it is inevitable that he will feel a little uncomfortable, but it is not unacceptable.In the final analysis, with Li Ji's current status and power far above him, the power he can contribute to King Jin's struggle for heir is not comparable to him, so Li Ji's benefits after the event is naturally far greater than he.

It's fair.

You can't convince everyone just because you have the merit of "persuading people", right?
In the final analysis, regardless of whether you are fighting for reserves now or rewarding you in the future, strength means everything...

Xiao Yu remembered something again, and reminded: "Your Highness, don't forget that you have begged Fang Jun to attack the Wa country in order to prepare your highness to go to sea to build a country... In case the Wa country is destroyed at this time, and the navy comes to the table, will His Majesty allow you to go?" Wa Kingdom Islands?"

Hearing this, Li Zhi immediately frowns, regretting his mistakes.

A move that he thought he was advancing by retreating was actually full of flaws, which not only made it difficult for him to ride a tiger, but even completely disrupted the current situation of fighting for reserves, and fell into a deep passivity.

You can't break your promise and get fat, and then regret it when things come to an end, right?
I'm afraid that in that way, the emperor will think that he is speculative and irresponsible, and he can't compare to Qingque, who lives in the open and spends all his time on education...

But if he didn't regret it, if the navy destroyed the Japanese kingdom, would he really go to that barbarian land to establish a country and a vassal?
Cheng Yaojin said solemnly: "The navy is powerful and invincible within the seven seas. The mere Japanese country has already been grasped in the palm of the navy. It will be easy to destroy the country. Maybe there will be good news in the near future. Your Highness should return soon." make plans."

With tens of thousands of troops equipped to the teeth, hundreds of thousands of new ships, and powerful firearms, the navy's combat power is second to none even among the sixteen guards, not to mention those overseas countries with poor land and population. A rare exotic country?

That really kills whoever you want...

And now that the East Palace is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, Fang Jun must strictly order Su Dingfang to command the navy to speed up the pace of destroying the Wa Kingdom, and I am afraid that it will not take long for the entire Wa Kingdom to be invaded.

However, this matter is all under Fang Jun's control, not theirs. We can only hope that His Majesty will issue a deposed edict as soon as possible and establish a new reserve to get rid of this crisis.But on the other hand, who can be sure that His Majesty "abolishes the elder and establishes the younger", first deposes the eldest son, then abandons the second son, and instead makes the youngest son, King Jin, as the heir?

Li Zhi was worried about gains and losses, but he was not a person who could not make a decision. After a little consideration, he gritted his teeth and said, "This matter cannot be forced, and everything can be done according to the father's will. If the news of the Japanese kingdom's destruction came before the father's decision, If you also intend to let me go, then I will pack my bags and go to sea to build a country, and I will never return to Chang'an City for the rest of my life! On the other hand, if the emperor intends to appoint me as the heir, then I will be a person blessed by God, and I will accomplish great things together with you."

Xiao Yu, Cheng Yaojin and Zhang Xingcheng looked at each other in blank dismay, then nodded together.

Standing on King Jin's side to seek the position of crown prince right now is to gain more benefits in the future, but if His Majesty never thought of allowing King Jin to inherit the country as the crown prince, who would want to follow King Jin all the way to the dark and confront His Majesty? ?
Knowing that it can't be done and then doing it, that's a lunatic.

Knowing how to advance and retreat, and knowing how to choose, that is the real hero...

When the discussion was over, Cheng Yaojin got up first: "It's not early, so hurry back to the city and act together tomorrow, so as not to be noticed by the bastards of 'Baiqisi' and cause trouble."

Li Zhi nodded and said: "It should be so!"

He stood up and bowed to the ground, with a sincere tone and a moving expression: "This king's affairs are all up to you to take care of. If things come to fruition in the future, we will definitely not bear the burden!"

Xiao Yu and Zhang Xingcheng hurriedly returned the gift, the former said: "Your Highness is intelligent and beautiful, with virtue and benevolence, the emptiness seems to be contained in the scales, and the edict is no different from the fan. Since childhood, there has been a sign of the master, and the ministers can attach themselves to the horse. At the end, assisting His Highness to create a great cause is really a blessing for three lives!"

Zhang Xingcheng also said: "The ministers are loyal to His Highness and are willing to do their best!"

Li Zhi helped Xiao Yu up with both hands, and then took Zhang Xingcheng's hand, his face was moved with emotion, and his eyes were red: "How can I have the help of all virtuous ministers? I swear here today, I swear to live and die with you all!"

Cheng Yaojin urged: "We have been out of the city for a long time, and we may have been targeted by the 'Baiqisi'. If we are hit by him, it will be really troublesome to turn around and report to His Majesty. It is not too late, let's disperse."

Only then did Li Zhi reluctantly let go of Zhang Xingcheng's hand, and gently told Xiao Yu to take care of his body, not to catch the cold...

*****
Compared to Li Zhi, Li Tai is even more inflamed.

Before Li Xiaogong returned to the city, there was no news about him, so it can be seen that the emperor's recall will definitely give him a heavy responsibility, and it may not be as simple as suppressing the clan.

After all, this is the most famous generation of generals in the clan other than His Majesty. The former generals are now all over the Sixteen Guards, and countless people still look forward to the scenery when they give an order.

It was raining outside the window, and the night breeze was cool. Li Tai looked at the empty study room, and said to Princess Yan beside him: "This matter must be accompanied by civil and military forces, and there are many talented people. There are countless people who make plans. My side is Qing. I'm cold and cold, I don't even have a confidant, it seems that the position of the crown prince is not destined for me, I should die of this kind of heart."

Speech looks depressed.

It's not that he doesn't have confidantes, it's just that the incident happened in a hurry, those confidants hadn't had time to come to discuss it, and the rank and position of those confidants were far inferior to the staff gathered around Pheasant, which inevitably put him in crisis. discouraged.

Anyone can see that the royal father is about to change his position, but he can't come up with a decent idea at such a critical juncture. Could it be that he missed the opportunity and saw the reserve position fall by the wayside?

Yan Shi was holding the pot and pouring tea, with a faint smile on his beautiful face, not showing the slightest irritability, and his delicate and crisp tone was calm and peaceful: "Your Highness is still so irritable, you should change it. What kind of person is your father, Your Highness How can it be unclear? If the father values ​​who is the most powerful among the princes, why bother to depose the crown prince? After the Guanlong mutiny, everyone knows that the subordinates of the Eastern Palace are powerful."

Holding the teacup, Li Tai thought for a while, and thought it made sense, and asked, "Then what do you think is the most important thing for the emperor?"

Yan said with a smile: "It's nothing more than the words 'filial piety' and 'ti'."

　Bayuquan mahjong is now famous all over the country... Leaders, well done.
