Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4097 Crisis
After a while, the servant came quickly, and the prince summoned him.

Yu Zhining and Lu Deming got up and straightened their clothes. Following the servants out of the gatehouse, the lanterns hanging in the East Palace swayed gently in the light rain. The rainwater passed through the orange halo as if weaving a thin rain curtain, and the surroundings were quiet.

Arriving at the Lizheng Hall, Li Chengqian, who had just got up from the bed, was casually dressed in a silk uniform. He was exhausted and listless. When he saw two people entering, he barely cheered up his spirits. , and then asked with a smile: "The two masters entered the palace at night, and I don't know why?"

Yu Zhining looked hesitant, and asked instead: "Does your Highness know about His Majesty's summoning of the foreign monk?"

Even they have received the news, presumably not many people in the government and the public know about this at this moment, how could Li Chengqian, who is the crown prince, not know?But knowing that this matter is of great importance, he can still fall asleep leisurely, without paying attention to it, which immediately makes him dissatisfied.

Even our family business is tied to the big ship of the East Palace, but you, the captain, do whatever you want and have no pursuit of the future, it is simply unreasonable!
Really let us bury you with you?
Li Chengqian was taken aback for a moment, then nodded randomly and said: "I heard about this... Originally, I just wanted to go to the palace to persuade my father, but it was getting late, and the Taiji Palace had already locked the key to isolate China and the outside world, so I thought it would be better to go to bed early Next, I will enter the palace again tomorrow morning to persuade you. But what advice do you two have?"

If he begged rashly to enter the palace in the middle of the night, wouldn't it be true?

After all, it is now the critical moment of Yi Chu, and everyone's eyes are on the East Palace. If you make a mistake, it will not only be as simple as abolishing the storage position, but you must be careful and walk on thin ice, and never dare to make the slightest mistake...

Seeing that Li Chengqian still hadn't realized the point, Lu Deming shouted loudly, "Your Highness is confused!"

Li Chengqian was shocked: "..."

He is really confused. In the middle of the night, the two of you ran over and covered your face, asking and scolding, isn't it a nightmare?

But he is a good-tempered person, and he always respects Master Ji very much, so he didn't get annoyed, but asked with an apologetic smile, "What does Master Lu mean by that?"

Lu Deming blew his beard and stared: "Your Majesty summoned the foreign monks, and he must continue to take the medicine of elixir, which is very likely to endanger his life... At this moment of possible major changes, how can His Highness remain indifferent and still lie on the pillow? "

When Li Chengqian heard this, he looked a little ashamed, and said: "Feigu doesn't want to enter the palace at this moment, but the current situation dictates, how dare you withhold it late at night? After Master Lu's lesson, Gu knows that filial piety should be the first priority in being a son of man, and it is right to speak out against admonitions." Why do you need to pay attention to those ulterior motives? Sit down for a while, and then I will wash and change clothes, and enter the palace to give advice."

After saying that, he got up and wanted to go to the back hall.

Lu Deming was full of emotions, as if he had suddenly encountered a bucket of cold water, and he was a little sluggish for a moment: "..."

what did i say?
When will I let you enter the palace immediately to persuade me?
You misunderstood, Your Highness...

But at this time, you can't stop Li Chengqian and tell him, "I'm not asking you to enter the palace to persuade me, but I'm asking you to sit idly by, or even take action secretly", right?

Seeing that Li Chengqian was going to wash and change clothes, he hurriedly turned to Yu Zhining who was on the side for help.

Yu Zhining looked at each other helplessly: I have to co-author something that offends others?
But at this moment, he couldn't hesitate anymore, so he quickly stood up and stopped Li Chengqian, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness misunderstood, the two of us came here at night, not because of this matter."

Li Chengqian stood still and became more and more confused: "What's the matter?"

Yu Zhining hesitated for a moment, seeing that there was no one else around Lu Deming, he approached Li Chengqian, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty fainted earlier, it was caused by taking too much medicine of red mercury, although he regained consciousness, who knows if he will be able to do so again next time?" How lucky? Now that His Majesty is in a daze, not only does he not know how to ban drugs, but he takes them again. He doesn’t care about the empire and the country at all, and only cares about the momentary pleasure. Make the country rich and the army strong, and continue the prosperity of Zhenguan!"

Li Chengqian lost his voice in shock, and stared at Yu Zhining with wide eyes in disbelief.

Is this what a minister should say?

It's okay for you to be a traitor, but you can't persuade me to be a traitor, can you?
Seeing Li Chengqian's expression, Yu Zhining hurriedly said: "Your Highness, please calm down. It's not because the old officials are unkind and treacherous. It's because the current situation is unpredictable and the East Palace is in danger. If you can't turn defeat into victory, not only will your Highness have a hard time dying, but the whole East Palace has already passed away. There is no place to die! The veteran knows that His Royal Highness trusts the Duke of Yue, and believes that he can do his best to keep His Highness safe and sound, but how can life and death be completely entrusted to others?"

Lu Deming understood from one side, hurriedly stepped forward, and echoed: "This statement is true, the so-called world is fickle, who can guarantee that there will be no accidents? Although Duke Yue is loyal, he can't guarantee that he will not make mistakes. And once he makes a mistake, what he has to pay is the lives of His Highness and the family members of the Eastern Palace...At this moment, why not strike hard, weed out the thorns, and take control of the universe!"

Li Chengqian did not have time to pursue Yu Zhining's "rebellious words", and asked in surprise: "Father taking the medicine of danmercury is dangerous, but there may not be any accidents... Could it be that you want me to start a rebellion at this moment?" ?”

Words like "in charge of the universe" are not casual words, as long as the father is still alive, who would dare to show the slightest disobedience?

The tiger is so powerful, do you really think that the father is sick and bedridden, so the subordinates can do whatever they want?
Yu Zhining grabbed Li Chengqian's wrist with one hand, with a ferocious expression on his face, and said word by word: "Your Majesty, taking the medicine of danmercury is known to be harmful to the world, and no one will be surprised even if he suddenly develops a serious illness and the medicine is useless... "

These words exploded in Li Chengqian's ears like a thunderstorm, making his head buzzing and in chaos. He raised his other hand and pointed at Yu Zhining: "You, you, you..."

But he couldn't even speak.

This is for him to murder his father!
This is regicide!

Is this still my teacher who was full of moral articles, benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and filial piety in the past?

Yu Zhining was about to continue persuading, when suddenly a servant knocked on the door, and said outside the door: "His Royal Highness, the Duke of Yue is here to advise."

Yu Zhining and Lu Deming's complexion changed, knowing that Fang Jun probably came here for this purpose, but their point of view may be contrary to theirs...

Li Chengqian ordered: "Please invite the Duke of Yue to enter the palace, and you will hold an umbrella for him."

"promise."

The servants retreated, Li Chengqian invited the two teachers to sit down, thought for a while, and said: "This matter is against loyalty and filial piety, inhumane and unrighteous, please don't bring it up again."

But after all, it is for the consideration of Donggong's life and death, so I can't bear to be too harsh.

Yu Zhining and Lu Deming blushed and remained silent.

After a while, Fang Junda stepped inside, and he was not surprised to see the two people present. He first bowed to Li Chengqian, and then saluted the two after getting up.

Yu Zhining and Lu Deming quickly saluted politely, seeing that Fang Jun's expression was as usual and not angry, they couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

To be honest, although they are more famous and have more seniority, they are completely inferior to Fang Jun today, and the other party's behavior is extremely aggressive, which will not give them any face.Today, the two of them went to the palace to meet the crown prince at night, the fool knew what was going on, if Fang Jun got mad, the crown prince might not be able to stop him...

However, although Fang Jun didn't get angry, his words were sharp.

He glanced at the two people who were restless, and said to Li Chengqian with a smile: "I think the reason why the two emperors entered the palace at night is that His Majesty must have summoned the monks... Please don't act rashly, there are so many people in the court." Smart people, everyone knows what kind of situation is most beneficial to His Highness, so once the situation really develops in that direction, everyone will doubt His Highness. There is nothing in the world that can be hidden from everyone. place?"

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and then a layer of cold sweat rose from his back.

What Yu Zhining said before just made him feel that it was against Gang Chang’s loyalty and filial piety, and he subconsciously thought that he couldn’t do that, but now he realized that if he really did that and was exposed, it would be as simple as “how to deal with yourself” ?
It is simply infamy and infamy through the ages!
After letting out a long breath, Li Chengqian nodded and said: "Erlang, don't worry, Gu Weiwei has been fascinated by the imperial power, and he will never do anything foolish."

Fang Jun also breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Li Chengqian would be persuaded by Yu Zhining and Lu Deming, and put all his eggs in one basket for his wealth...

If you get to that point, regardless of success or failure, the entire empire will be plunged into civil war, vested interests will control the court, loyal ministers and those ambitious people will occupy all parts of the world, and start a "trace back to the source" The banner of "killing the faint king" was ignited, the land of Shenzhou fell into war, and the Huanghuang Empire fell apart.

This is what Fang Junru does not want to see no matter what...

Lu Deming couldn't help it, and said in a deep voice: "It's safe to sit in the East Palace, but it will be a matter of time before it goes on like this. Is it possible that the Duke of Yue really expects His Royal Highness Jin Wang to be a brother and friend, and to treat the Prince well after he ascends the throne? It can be said that life and death are at stake right now. Whenever there is a slight chance, you should not let it go. The so-called wealth and wealth are sought in insurance, and if you don’t take risks, where will you get the benefits?"

Fang Jun looked at him, and asked coldly: "So, what does Mr. Lu want His Royal Highness to do?"

Lu Deming was at a loss for words, could it be that he could clearly tell Fang Jun that he let the prince kill the king and father?
This kind of words can be implied by oneself, and the other party can understand it, but it is absolutely impossible to say it out of the mouth under any circumstances...

Fang Jun turned his head and said to the two: "Just now, Zuo Wuwei has put his entire army on alert, controlling the key passes in central Beijing, and Right Houwei is also gathering outside the city. If there is any accident, I even wait for some action here, and then use it to cut the weeds and eradicate the roots.”

Yu Zhining and Lu Deming turned pale.

The crown prince was afraid that King Jin would kill the grass and roots after he ascended the throne, so he wanted to make a risky move against the sky and change his fate; for the same reason, King Jin was also afraid of the strength and status of the Eastern Palace, and he was probably thinking day and night how to uproot the Eastern Palace in a fair and just manner. .
