Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4096
Regardless of family and country feelings or personal interests, since Cui Dunli decided to part ways with the Shandong family, he could only stand by the East Palace.

He also didn't think that the situation in the Eastern Palace was really as hopeless as the outside world saw. With the firm support of military leaders such as Fang Jun and Li Jing, and the loyal support of contemporary Confucians such as Yu Zhining, Kong Yingda, and Lu Deming, who had disciples all over the world, Even if it is really easy to store in the future, Donggong is not someone who can be crushed to death if they want to.

Moreover, Li Ji, who is currently No. 1 in terms of strength, official position, and power, has never expressed his position on the ownership of the reserve...

It is too early to say who will win the game.

……

The drizzle was gurgling outside the window, and the two drank and ate vegetables, exchanging views on the current situation between the DPRK and China, and the conversation was intense.

Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside, and the guard Wei Ying strode in, first glanced at Cui Dunli, paused for a moment and hesitated, and then said anxiously after seeing Fang Jun did not express anything, "Just now The 'Baiqisi' sent someone to send a message, saying that His Majesty was tired and drowsy in the morning, and there was no serious problem after the imperial doctor's diagnosis and treatment, but then His Majesty called a monk into the Wude Hall..."

Fang Jun's heart sank, he was really afraid of something.

Based on his guesses based on the various signs of His Majesty Li Er's Eastern Expedition, coupled with his observations during the past few days back to Beijing, he confirmed that His Majesty Li Er's current physical condition is extremely bad. Get sick.

If he cultivates well, with his original physical quality and excellent medical treatment, it may be difficult to recover, but it is not difficult to get through this dangerous period.

But now that the Buddhist monks are summoned, they must take the medicine again, and it is unknown whether it will cause accidents.

In this day and age, no one understands better than him how serious damage those nerve-stimulating drugs can do to the body's texture.

Cui Dunli also knew that something was wrong. Seeing Fang Jun's complexion changed, he hurriedly said: "There are a group of great Confucianists and moral gentlemen in the East Palace. They can still talk about it in normal times, but they are too embarrassing to use at critical moments. You still need Duke Yue to go there. Just host."

From ancient times to the present, literati are eager to plan indefinitely, and it is difficult to achieve great things. Only military generals can turn the tide and make things happen.

If His Majesty continues to take the medicine of Dan and Mercury, something unbearable may happen suddenly, and the situation will change suddenly, and the East Palace must respond in a timely and correct manner. It will spoil the big thing.

For example, if you are unwilling to wait for something to happen after your Majesty takes the medicine, so as to prepare in advance, that is really the way to die.

Once he takes action, even if His Majesty thinks his life is not long, he must clean up the East Palace before the funeral, otherwise, how can the source of imperial power struggle be left behind, and the empire will fall into strife and collapse after his death?
Fang Jun naturally understood what Cui Dunli had said, and he didn't care about half of the banquet, so he immediately got up and said, "I'm going to the East Palace, and you should go back to the Ministry of War and keep an eye on all the weapons and supplies. The rest of the Sixteenth Guards cannot be adequately supplied."

Only by pinching the supply of military equipment and supplies can the king of Jin not dare to launch unscrupulous attacks.

Otherwise, even if the King of Jin did not dare to make a big move, he would definitely be coerced by the army and do something out of the ordinary. When the time comes, the situation will collapse, and it will be difficult to recover...

"Here!"

Cui Dunli quickly stood up and took orders.

Fang Jun put on a coir raincoat, and the two went out one after the other. Cui Dunli pedaled and set off, while Fang Jun rode down the mountain in the rain with more than a dozen soldiers, heading straight for Chang'an City.

……

In the drizzle, the red walls and green tiles of Taiji Palace were hazy.

This most majestic and majestic palace in the world is shrouded in mist and rain. It seems that it lacks the grandeur of the past and is a little more weak and desolate...

Since His Majesty Li Er returned from the Eastern Expedition, he has been bedridden, and the matter of easy storage has become more and more popular, affecting the world. All forces dare not let go of any news in the palace, and they all take advantage of His Majesty Li Er not having much energy. The constant bribes and placements caused the huge Taiji Palace to leak air everywhere like a sieve. Whenever there was any trouble, the news would be spread outside the palace immediately.

His Majesty Li Er summoned the foreign monks one after another, so naturally he couldn't hide it from the various forces who had planted ears in the palace...

After Jin Wang Li Zhi got the news, his whole person was immediately worried and felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

At the beginning of the Xu Dynasty, when Xiao Yu arrived at the study in the backyard of Prince Jin's Mansion, he saw Li Zhi as restless as an ant on a hot pot...

After seeing the ceremony and taking his seat, Xiao Yu comforted: "Your Highness, you don't have to worry too much. Your Majesty is an enlightened ruler rarely seen in the ages. He naturally knows his physical condition, so he will never take a large amount of medicine rashly and put his life in danger."

Li Zhi hesitated to speak, and only asked Xiao Yu to drink tea in a muffled voice.

Is he worried about his father's body?

Of course there is also this reason, how can the father-son relationship be completely gone, but he is even more worried that if the father and emperor have an accident because of taking the medicine of danmercury, it will cause further twists and turns in the matter of easy storage.

After all, until now, Yi Chu's edict has not yet been drafted, and the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace is still the crown prince in name...

When the father was alive, he promulgated the edict Yi Chu, and Li Zhi's position was justified, and no one in the world would dare to disobey him; If the words are not right, even if things come true in the end, it will inevitably end up in the history books with the infamy of "usurping the throne".

Xiao Yu observed Li Zhi's thoughts after a little thought, and couldn't help but stroke his beard and ponder.

He also thinks that Li Zhi's worries are indeed necessary...

Although His Majesty Li Er has returned to Beijing now, the situation in Guanzhong has not returned to its previous appearance. The Guanlong mutiny has brought about earth-shaking changes in the original political situation, and it is even unclear who is the enemy and who is the friend. The group is on the verge of falling apart.

All this should be broken and reshaped with the crown prince's accession to the throne, and then stabilized in the struggle, but it came to an abrupt end with the strong return of His Majesty Li Er.

It seems to be calm, but in fact, the dark tide is turbulent.

Especially the "Baiqisi" and Donggong flirting, the two parties may not have reached some agreement in private.And now the "Baiqisi" almost controls the security responsibility of the entire Taiji Palace, if he wants to make some outrageous actions, it is convenient.

After all, once His Majesty dies, the one who will benefit the most is the East Palace Prince...

The atmosphere in the study was tense for a while.

After a long while, Li Zhicai asked: "Why don't Song Guogong enter the palace with this king, and advise the father not to take the medicine of danmer?"

Xiao Yu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The medicine of danmercury is harmful to the body. Everyone knows it, but how could your majesty not know it? Maybe your majesty has some hidden illness, or maybe the mental state is difficult to cope with the current situation. Taking the medicine must be the result of thinking twice, even if It’s useless to try to persuade.”

He has experienced the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and has seen many supreme beings in the world. Perhaps Li Er's majesty was inferior to Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, and his talent was not comparable to that of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. But when it comes to clear-headedness and weighing pros and cons, he is a leader among them.

Such a sensible person, knowing that the medicine and food of Danxiong is harmful but still taking it, must have a reason, how can others easily persuade him?

What's more, Fang Jun and others had advised him more than once before this incident, but His Majesty Li Er still insisted on going his own way...

Li Zhi asked anxiously: "Then what should I do?"

It is extremely dangerous to take the medicine of danmercury, and the emperor still took it knowing the danger, which shows that the body has already appeared in a state, and accidents are likely to occur at any time; Isn't it more and more dangerous?
What if Donggong Yu uses some evil hands behind the scenes to cause unbearable things to happen...

As long as Donggong ascends the throne as emperor, the first imperial edict will seize him, the king of Jin, and imprison him. After the situation is stable, he will be given a glass of poisonous wine and a three-foot white silk...

After all, the power currently held by Prince Jin's Mansion is enough to threaten the throne, no matter how respectful the prince is, he cannot tolerate the existence of King Jin.

Even if the crown prince can tolerate it, the officials of the East Palace will definitely not tolerate it...

Xiao Yu said softly: "Your Highness, don't worry. The old minister will ask Lu Guogong and E Guogong to strictly guard the East Palace later. If there is any trouble in the East Palace, we will deal with it. In addition, if you are not summoned by Your Majesty during these days, Your Highness should not set foot here easily. Taiji Palace, so as not to give others an opportunity."

There are thousands of strategies, safety first.

If the East Palace really has the heart of rebellion, the first thing to do is to cut off the stumbling block of King Jin in advance, and only then can we get twice the result with half the effort...

Li Zhi's heart tightened, his face was serious, and he nodded heavily.

It's about the throne, he doesn't dare to bet whether the prince is filial or hypocritical...

At the same time, he warned: "Guan Long also needs to contact more, don't listen to the one-sided words of Duke Ying, Guan Long is now facing Qin Muchu, so don't trust him lightly."

After all, Guan Long is currently on the side of the East Palace on the surface. Although Yuwen Shi and privately made promises to the Jin Palace, who knows if the situation is right, will they immediately turn against it?

The Jin Palace needs the "variable" Guan Long to deal a fatal blow to the East Palace, but it has to be guarded against...

Xiao Yu nodded: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the old minister will save it."

……

East Palace.

Although the Xiaoban policy has not been abolished in writing, it has gradually been abolished as Chang'an's business becomes more and more prosperous. Unless there is an emergency, the gates of all the city gates in Chang'an are open all night, and cars and horses can't help it.

Yu Zhining and Lu Deming took a car in the middle of the night and went straight to the gate of the East Palace. After getting off the car, they went up to ask to see the prince, but the soldiers in front of the gate did not dare to stop them, so they first invited the two of them into the gate of the palace to rest for a while, and then rushed inside Report to Prince Ming.

The rain was gurgling outside the window, and the two held a cup of hot tea each. Under the eagerness in their hearts, they looked at each other, and they both clearly felt the other's anxiety...

Originally, Lu Deming rushed to Yu's house to discuss with Yu Zhining after hearing the news from the palace. After the discussion, the two agreed that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The position is guaranteed, even in one step.

Of course, persuading the prince to do such a rebellious act is as difficult as climbing the sky, and it is even more difficult to force Fang Jun and others to agree...

But the opportunity is fleeting. If you can't plan in advance, how can you get things done?

These people have long been closely related to the fate of the East Palace, how can they be willing to fall into the dust after the crown prince is deposed from the throne?

Seeking wealth and wealth in danger has never been the case throughout the ages.

As for "benevolence and filial piety"... the book is full of benevolence, righteousness and filial piety, but who has achieved great things in ancient and modern times, who strictly abides by "benevolence and filial piety"?

You can't let the prince become the "Second Fusu", and even lead them into the abyss...
