Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4100 House arrest
As soon as Li Tai said this, all the princes in the rain corridor outside the palace fell silent, wishing they could dig a hole in the ground and get in so that no one could see him...

The battle for the reserve position has always been accompanied by bloody storms, and it is common for father and son to turn against each other, and siblings are mutilated, let alone at this moment when the father is fainting and his life and death are unknown?No one wants to be involved in such turmoil for no reason, and end up in a crushed end.

Fang Jun raised his eyebrows, his face turned frosty, and he shouted: "Your Highness is confused? It's fine for others to say these words. What kind of status is Your Highness? How can you speculate about His Majesty's safety and disregard the dignity of the royal family? Silence!"

I really don't know why Li Tai has gone crazy. Once such words are spread, no matter who will be the crown prince or the king of Jin in the future, I am afraid that Li Tai will not be tolerated...

Li Tai naturally knew this, but it was hard to calm down when he was furious, and he had an unruly personality, how could he control so much?But after all, he has a deep friendship with Fang Jun, he snorted angrily, ignored Fang Jun, glanced over the faces of the trembling brothers, turned around and strode into the hall.

^^^
When Li Tai entered the hall, Fang Jun turned around and looked at the princes who were obviously relieved, and warned: "They are not idiots, and I have heard and seen quite a few of them. I think everyone knows that this is not an ordinary time. I don't want to If you cause trouble, keep your mouth shut and stay out of it, otherwise, once you get involved, no one will be able to save you."

The attitude was not very friendly, and the wording was very disrespectful, but all the princes knew that this was a good word, so they naturally nodded in agreement.

In the past, they relied on their status as princes for their prosperity, wealth and unscrupulousness, but now this status is the best in their arms.

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

As long as there is a twists and turns in the ownership of the reserve, then these princes will naturally be coerced into the center of the turmoil. If they are not careful, they will end up in a different place...

……

Outside the gate of Wude Hall, a team of "Hundred Cavalry Division" masters put on their helmets and smashed their armor, full of murderous intent. There are not only those who restrain the access guards to strictly check the entry and exit, but also patrollers with knives wandering around outside the hall. Yu was so impenetrable inside and out that not even a fly could fly in.

Fang Jun walked into the hall, and the two gangs were at war.

Standing in front of Li Zhi, Li Tai raged, pointing his halberd and angrily scolded: "Father's life and death are unknown at the moment. The government and the public should unite as one and stabilize the situation, so as not to be taken advantage of by those with ulterior motives. But whether it is Cheng Yaojin's Zuo Wuwei Or if Yu Chigong's right guards are all fully armed, one of them controls the inside of the city and the other controls the outside of the city, I would like to ask His Royal Highness King Jin, what is his intention?"

The hall was solemn and solemn, only Li Tai's loud scolding voice echoed.

Li Zhi's face turned red, and he was a little confused when facing Li Tai's reprimand.Because once the father had an accident, the battle for the reserve position would immediately come to the fore. How could I, who had always been eyeing the reserve position like a cyst, be unprepared?

In case the father had not left a will to enshrine himself as the crown prince and pass on the throne, would it be possible to just watch the crown prince ascend the throne?

This kind of arrangement is necessary. Everyone in the government and the opposition can see it, and they will not say much whether they approve it or not. The handle of imperial power is the supreme in the world, but who can remain indifferent if there is a chance to get involved?Regardless of whether King Jin's actions are appropriate or not, they are all within the understandable range, so naturally he will not comment.

It's just a tacit understanding, why bother?
However, Li Tai blatantly stated the matter in the Hall of Martial Virtue, and asked harshly...

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Duke Lu was ordered by the emperor to guard the capital, and Duke E's right guard was stationed outside the city originally, and had the responsibility of defending the capital, so ordinary transfers are inevitable... Besides, the two People are not ordered by me, why should they be transferred, what is wrong with them, and what does it have to do with me?"

He felt that there was nothing wrong with such words, but he didn't know that the expressions of the people around him changed when he said those words.

Although Lu Guogong Cheng Yaojin obeyed His Majesty, it was within his duty to mobilize troops and horses to block the city gate when His Majesty was critically ill. To govern, one must also turn one's heart to the Prince Jin's Mansion.

Li Zhi said that if Yu Chigong was pushed out and easily made to suffer the serious crime of "disobedience", it would be really lacking in responsibility.

But "responsibility" is the most important quality of Li Zhi at the moment. Once His Majesty has not left a will to designate him as the crown prince, he can only take risks if he wants to register as Yuji.In fact, doing so is no different from conspiracy. If you want people to follow you loyally, you must shoulder the responsibility of winning or losing. How can you just shrug it off?

Xiao Yu secretly sighed in his heart that this His Highness is smart, but he lacks experience after all, so he made up for it: "His Royal Highness Wei Wang's words are wrong. His Majesty is seriously ill, and everyone in the government and the public know that if there are really people with ulterior motives, I'm afraid there are already some people at this moment." As for the actions, the troops loyal to His Majesty inside and outside the city should take precautions in advance. How can they abide by military discipline and ignore the crisis? As for whether these two armies will have any plans, His Highness must be too worried, whether Lu Guogong or The Duke of E is the humerus of His Majesty, and he firmly believes in him, so there is no need for you to worry about it."

Li Tai stared at Xiao Yu, and said with a sneer, "What a loyal dog, but I don't know if you were as loyal to protect the lord as you are now when you abandoned Great Sui and turned to Emperor Gaozu?"

Back then, Xiao Yu went to Li Yuan, and was reused by Li Yuan. Among them, there may not be Xiao Yu's hands and tails.

Therefore, although the surrounding people were silent, they had strange expressions. This remark was equivalent to pointing at Xiao Yu's nose and scolding him, "The grass on the wall, falls with the wind"...

Even if the position is as detached as Xiao Yu, who has gone through ups and downs in his life, he has long been flattered and humiliated, and now he is humiliated by Li Tai, his face will inevitably turn red, and he said firmly: "Your Highness's words make the old minister feel ashamed."

No matter how ashamed he was, it still couldn't shake his resolve.

In the life of ups and downs in the officialdom, not only has he learned the ability to intrigue, but the most important thing is to cultivate his face to be as thick as a city wall. There will be times when he blush, but he will never be shameless.

Li Tai sneered and said no more.

With the sound of footsteps, Crown Prince Li Chengqian and King of Hejian County Li Xiaogong came out from the inner hall. The latter looked around and said in a deep voice: "This is the emperor's bedroom. If you have any disputes, you may wish to put them aside for now, otherwise disturbing Your Majesty will be a crime that cannot be forgiven."

Li Tai hurried forward and asked, "I don't know how your father is doing?"

Everyone also looked nervously.

"Baiqisi" and the imperial guards around His Majesty have sealed off the entire bedroom long ago, except for the Crown Prince, Jin Wang, and Li Xiaogong, no one else is allowed to enter the inner hall, so until now, everyone still does not know what is going on with His Majesty .

Li Xiaogong said nothing, but looked at Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian was full of grief, and he forced himself to calm down and said: "Father has fainted, and the imperial physician tried many methods but it didn't work. The situation is not optimistic."

There was silence in the hall, and there was a faint weeping from someone...

Li Tai raised his foot and rushed towards the inner hall, but Li Xiaogong grabbed him and persuaded him: "Your Majesty is unconscious, and at a critical moment, no one is allowed to enter without permission, so as not to disturb His Majesty."

Li Tai wiped away his tears, and suddenly looked at Fang Jun: "Erlang has always been friends with Daoist Sun. Now Daoist Sun is traveling all over the world. I don't know if he has contacted you? At this moment, the emperor is critically ill, and the imperial doctor is helpless. I am afraid that only Daoist Sun can diagnose and treat him."

Fang Jun was helpless, shook his head and said: "Daoist Sun has devoted himself to smallpox for the past two years. I don't know where he heard that there seems to be a method of 'fighting poison with poison' that can completely eradicate the disease. Among the mountains, where can I find it for a moment?"

When chatting with Sun Simiao, he occasionally mentioned that the method of vaccinia prevention is extremely effective against smallpox. Although Sun Simiao didn't know what it was, it sounded like it was in line with medical principles. Therefore, it cannot be of any help.

Sun Simiao left Guanzhong to travel around the world, visiting famous doctors to discuss the cure of smallpox, and at the same time investigating diseases in various places, trying to find out whether there is a precedent for "vaccination"...

Communication is extremely backward in this era, and information is seriously delayed. Even if I heard about Sun Simiao's location at this moment, it was a long time ago. Even if I send someone to go, I can only follow his footsteps.

Li Xiaogong supported the jade belt around his waist, looked around at everyone in the palace, and said slowly: "Your Majesty's condition is critical, it is inevitable that some people have evil intentions, trying to subvert the court and ruin the country... You are all pillars of the empire, you may as well stay in the palace at this moment, quietly. When His Majesty's condition improves, in case something happens, we can brainstorm, I don't know what to do?"

Although his title is only county king, regardless of seniority, status, and power, except for the crown prince, he is above all the princes. At this moment, he suddenly said that even if some people urgently wanted to go out of the palace, they did not dare to refute it openly. A response.

Before Li Xiaogong made arrangements, Li Ji accompanied several imperial physicians out of the inner hall, and said to the servant Wang Shoushi, who was bowing and standing beside him, "I will follow the order of Prince Hejian, and I will immediately order you to go down and tidy up the sleeping halls for your princes, The minister is temporarily resting, and another attendant with ears and eyesight is assigned to drive him, so that when you have something to do at home, you can get in touch with him."

Many people looked ugly, Li Ji was even more thorough than Li Xiaogong, he directly put everyone under house arrest, and even his close ones were not allowed to pass messages in and out at will...

Li Chengqian, who had been silent all this time, nodded slowly, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "That's very good."

Li Ji respectfully said: "Your Majesty won't be able to wake up for a while, you are all nobles, you should go to rest, and come here to visit in your spare time."

No one objected.

Obviously, in the face of all kinds of unruly actions that may occur while His Majesty Li Er is fainting, Li Ji and Li Xiaogong have reached a consensus to unite together and vow to completely kill all the germs of turmoil.

Whoever dares to object at this time will go to war with the number one minister in the court and the number one clan and county king, and he will also bear the infamy of "disturbing the court, being disloyal and unfilial"...

The crown prince, king of Wei, king of Jin and others went out with their servants, Li Ji called to Fang Fangjun: "Mr. Yue, wait a moment. I have to discuss with you."

Everyone paused.

What is most likely to happen at this time is "fighting for the reserve" and causing turmoil. Putting everyone under house arrest is just a precaution, but Fang Jun is the confidant of the East Palace, and he stayed to discuss things with Li Ji and Li Xiaogong. Suspicious?
Xiao Yu then said to Li Zhi: "His Royal Highness go to rest first, the old minister also happens to have something to discuss with the British government, and will come later."

Li Zhi heaved a sigh of relief, nodded and turned to leave.

At this time, they must not be excluded from the inner circle of Li Ji and Li Xiaogong, otherwise if the situation changes, the consequences will be disastrous.

And the root of the change in the situation lies in whether the royal father left a will in advance if something unexpected happened...

If there is, there is a high probability that he will be canonized as the crown prince, and then he will naturally become the new emperor. Although the prince resists stubbornly, it is just a fight between trapped beasts, and it is difficult to become a master.

If not, then the crown prince is still the heir apparent of the empire, and it is logical to ascend the throne as the emperor. Not to mention the odds of winning, it is hard to say just how many people will be left from all walks of life that usually flock around the Prince Jin's mansion... …

As night fell outside the house and the evening breeze was blowing, Li Zhi was in a state of confusion and his steps were heavy.
