Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4085 Cut off the way back
The sudden illness will inevitably make His Majesty Li Er fall into a situation where trade-offs are difficult to decide.

If the original plan is resolute and easy to reserve, then the successor prince, no matter the king of Wei or the king of Jin, will not be able to completely suppress the deposed prince after his funeral. The sons will definitely fight for the throne. The country is broken and the fate of the country falls.

Unless he bestows Li Chengqian's death before the funeral, and completely breaks up the current East Palace family...

But in the final analysis, the reason why he was easy to save was not because Li Chengqian made such a terrible mistake. Deposing him is already an unknown teacher, let alone killing him with poison?

If it is true, it will not only hurt the peace of the world, but also feel guilty, and will not be able to explain to the eldest grandson empress after a hundred years in the future...

If you hesitate, you will procrastinate, and perhaps the East Palace will get a turn for the better.

……

Fang Jun sipped his tea and listened to several great scholars talking about the situation and pointing out the country. His excitement was a bit like the generosity and heroism of planning a strategy and winning a thousand miles away.

But Fang Jun also understands that the so-called "Scholar rebellion, three years is not successful", these well-read scholars analyze the situation and the truth in a clear way, but once they are allowed to implement it, it is often another matter...

Several great Confucian scholars talked excitedly for a while, their mouths were dry, and seeing Fang Jun was silent, Lu Deming couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Does Duke Yue have a different opinion?"

Fang Jun hurriedly said: "You are extremely talented and insightful, and I have benefited a lot from you."

He is the most impatient to argue with scholars. These people are indeed knowledgeable and knowledgeable, but they are often stubborn and stubborn. They firmly believe in their own understanding. It is almost impossible to persuade them. Once they are entangled, they cannot get rid of them. is trouble.

We can't toss these people like we tossed Linghu Defen back then, at least they are on the same front now...

Lu Deming turned his head and said to Li Chengqian: "Since Your Majesty will hesitate and weigh, then in my opinion, we should contact the Qingliu of the court and the Confucians all over the world to set off a trend of 'protecting the orthodoxy' and tell the world that Zongyou will inherit The rules should not be trampled on, so as to put pressure on His Majesty, forcing His Majesty to give up his intention to dethrone."

Yu Zhining nodded and echoed: "Brother Yuen Lang's words are very true. At this time, the world is in peace, and the officials govern the place to create a glorious and prosperous age. The influence of scholars is even greater than that of the army. As long as the scholars of the world hold their own princes, a mighty war will be formed. The general trend, even His Majesty must avoid its edge."

The two great Confucians are very interested, this is their field of expertise, once they can force His Majesty to give up the idea of ​​easy storage and keep the East Palace, then their own status will definitely be raised to a higher level.

Instead of becoming a vassal of Fang Jun, Li Jing and other people who hold military power, they can't use any strength to be a spectator...

Although keeping the reserve position is the unanimous interest of the Eastern Palace, there is still a big difference in who will take the initiative.

Fang Jun, who was drinking tea, declined to comment.

Now is not the time to argue, not to mention that he is not confident that he can win against these well-educated scholars. Scholars are too good at citing scriptures and quoting from other sources. No matter right or wrong, they can find reasonable arguments according to their wishes. What's the point of arguing? ?
But he firmly believes that military power is the cornerstone of success in all actions. Without military power, simply finding a group of scholars to quarrel, no matter how big the storm is, what is the real significance?

For thousands of years, the truth has been held in the handle of the knife, and it is useless to talk...

Li Chengqian was infected by the excitement of several teachers, and felt that what they said made sense, but when he turned his head and saw Fang Jun silent on one side, he calmed down instantly and asked, "What's Erlang's opinion?"

He also knew that several teachers were profoundly knowledgeable and well-read, and all of them were outstanding among men, but when it came to practical ability, they were far inferior to a pragmatic person like Fang Jun...

Fang Jun shook his head and said: "The words of the masters, I feel very reasonable, but I can't get involved in this matter, I also ask you to work for His Royal Highness, and I will rush to Kunming Chibei Camp to discuss and formulate with Wei Gong. How to prevent sudden changes in the situation and make a good response strategy."

Although the few old Confucians are useless, this time they finally did not come up with bad ideas, and they can set off a wave of support for orthodoxy among scholars. Even if it is unlikely to force His Majesty to change his mind, at least it will make people in the world feel pity for the East Palace. This is important for the prince's situation after Yi Chu ascended the throne.

What's more, all the plots at this moment are the response to His Majesty's serious illness, but His Majesty Li Er is now in the prime of life, and although he became too old for a while and suffered from physical illness, it will not hurt his life after all.

As long as His Majesty Li Er didn't die suddenly within a few days, and when he recovered from his illness, he could calmly face the matter of Yi Chu. How could it affect the decision of His Majesty Li Er, just because of the clamor and clamor of some scholars? ?
So he doesn't care, there is nothing to do.

Li Chengqian understood what Fang Jun meant, and immediately came to his senses, he was indeed delusional because of his father's illness...

He hurriedly said to several teachers: "Father is very determined to be the crown prince, and it is almost impossible to change it. Gu is not greedy to secure the position of crown prince. I just hope that the masters can stir up public opinion and ensure that Gu can protect himself after being abolished." , that’s enough. As for the storage position, I have no extravagant hopes, and I must not make the situation arouse the anger of the emperor, or play tricks and backfire."

The faces of several great Confucian scholars were not very good-looking, and they did not believe that His Majesty Li Er would ignore the tendency of countless scholars among scholars in the time of peace?

However, there is some truth to the prince's words. After all, His Majesty Li Er has a resolute character and is difficult to be influenced by the outside world. Once the momentum among the scholars is too strong, making them feel threatened, it will be a bad thing...

Then they responded in unison: "Don't worry, Your Highness, although we are old and unable to bear the heavy responsibility, we have a large number of disciples, and we can always cause some disturbance among scholars. Anyone who is not good for His Highness will have to consider 'annihilating the orthodoxy, perverting'." Consequences!"

Li Chengqian was deeply moved, and bowed to the ground: "I owe a lot to all the masters. If I could have listened to your careful teachings and became a great weapon early, why would I be in danger today? If I can save my life in the future, I will never forget your kindness , I will be regarded as a teacher for the rest of my life!"

A teacher for one day, a father for life.

The core of Confucianism is the general ethics of "heaven, earth, monarch, relative and teacher". If Li Chengqian expresses his position today, then in the future, no matter what, he must not be disrespectful to a few great Confucians, otherwise he will be condemned by the world and lead to notoriety.

This is both trust and respect.

These people are getting old, no matter how high the official position is, what ambitions can they have?If the crown prince retains his reserve position this time, becomes a great treasure in the future, pays homage to them as a teacher, and makes them famous all over the world, this life is enough.

Then with such a love for the younger generation, it will naturally be a famous family after the founding of the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years...

*****
Tai Chi Palace.

When His Majesty Li Er woke up again, it was past the end of the day, and several favored concubines and princesses such as Chang Le, Nan Ping, Baling, Gao Yang were sitting around the room, crying and making him more dizzy.Send these female family members away, wake up a little bit, call the imperial doctor to ask about your condition carefully, and tell the outside world to keep it strictly confidential, and not to disclose half of it.

The imperial doctor retreated, and then called Wang De, Wang Shoushi and other personal servants in, and ordered Wang De to send someone to invite Li Xiaogong and Li Ji.

When only Wang Shoushi was left in the room, His Majesty Li Er supported his sick body, and ordered: "The crown prince went to Da Ci'en Temple to pray for blessings without warning. Premeditate retreat... You should send people to strictly investigate the Da Ci'en Temple, if there are secret passages in the temple, they must be investigated."

Wang Shoushi took the order, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "If there is a secret way, it is obvious that His Highness the Crown Prince has something wrong in his heart, do you need to..."

If it wasn't for the crown prince's order, how could those dead soldiers under him who have been trained for many years to maintain their status be encircled and suppressed by the "Hundred Knights", so that none of them survived, and they were almost extinct?This almost broke the foundation for him to be favored by His Majesty Li Er's side, so not only did he wish that Li Junxian could be skinned and torn apart, but he also hated the Prince's family to the bone.

If it is true that there is a secret path found in Daci'en Temple, then the prince must have something wrong in his heart. As long as His Majesty Li Er orders an order, the dead men under his command can still make a surprise attack and kill the prince...

Even though His Majesty Li Er has just recovered from a serious illness and his sanity has not yet fully recovered, how can he not know what this eunuch is thinking?
But he didn't even have the strength to get angry at this moment, he just said weakly: "If there really is a secret passage hidden in Da Ci'en Temple, we must try to find out whether the secret passage leads to the outside of the city or to the palace..."

Wang Shoushi understood.

If the secret road leads to the outside of the city, it must be the way for the prince to retreat. When His Majesty dies and the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, once Xinhuang wants to cut off him as the deposed prince, he will be able to escape outside the city.

If the secret path leads to the palace... that would be a great event.

Maybe they are plotting to assassinate the king, kill the father with his son...

"Here!"

Wang Shoushi hurriedly responded, and was about to retreat to do some work, when His Majesty Li Er warned again: "Don't pretend to be smart and take the opportunity to retaliate, or I will kill you alive!"

"Here!"

Wang Shoushi's little thoughts that had just arisen disappeared without a trace in an instant, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, and he hurriedly led away...

……

When Li Ji and Li Xiaogong came here in a hurry, they saw that His Majesty Li Er was already lying on his side on the bed. Although his face was not very good-looking, Princess Jinyang was feeding ginseng soup spoonful by spoonful. A long sigh of relief.

If His Majesty Li Er really died of a serious illness, not to mention personal feelings, both of them would tremble a little because of the loss of control of the court situation.

The two greeted each other affectionately. His Majesty Li Er downplayed his illness. Although the two of them didn't fully believe it, at least His Majesty's expression seemed to be getting better, so naturally he wouldn't get to the bottom of it...

His Majesty Li Er sent Princess Jinyang away, and there were only three monarchs and ministers left, so he asked straight to the point: "I want to change the reserve, who do the two lovers think can be the new reserve?"

Li Xiaogong and Li Ji did not expect that His Majesty had just suffered a serious illness, so they rushed to start the operation of Yi Chu, and their hearts were shocked for a moment... Could it be that His Majesty's dragon body is worrying, and time is running out, right?
