Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4102 Willing Chaos

It has become the key to have all edicts.

However, Li Xiaogong's expression was dignified, he remained silent for a long time, and he still refused to reveal half of it...

Xiao Yu's heart sank.

Li Ji looked away from Li Xiaogong's face, looked at Fang Jun and Xiao Yu, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty has nothing to do for the time being, and he never mentioned the reason of the will. This is disloyalty, not a minister. Please also The two assistant princes and the king of Jin restrain the armies, and there must be no turmoil, otherwise they will be the sinners of the empire, and the world will punish them!"

As the head of Zaifu, he had to warn the crown prince and King Jin that even if something unexpected happens to His Majesty, he must strictly abide by the rules and not condone the chaos caused by the struggle for the throne.

At least on the surface it must be so...

Fang Jun and Xiao Yu agreed wholeheartedly, what Li Ji said was righteous, and they must abide by it no matter what, otherwise they will be regarded as rebellious officials and traitors.

Of course, the so-called "winner is king, loser is bandit" is loyal or traitor, right or wrong, it all depends on who the ultimate winner is...

Xiao Yu returned to the side hall on the other side. Jin Wang Li Zhi was still in his middle-clothes and hadn't fallen asleep yet. When he saw Xiao Yu entering the room, he rushed forward and let him take his seat. After serving tea, he was repelled and asked anxiously: "Hejian Why did the county king leave Fang Er?"

Xiao Yu took a sip of tea first, let out a mouthful of turbid air, rubbed his forehead and said in a deep voice: "The situation is not good, Fang Er asked His Majesty the King of Hejian if he would leave a legacy, and the King of Hejian said to him that he never did. If you reply positively, from the perspective of the veteran, there is probably no will."

Li Zhi was a little panicked.

Ever since his father revealed his dissatisfaction and disgust with the prince's elder brother, he has tried his best to show his filial piety and intelligence as much as possible, so as to please his father and gain the approval of his courtiers.Years of persistence, the effect is obvious.

With the pampering of his father and the support of a group of ministers in power like Xiao Yu around him, it is almost no accident that he was appointed as the heir apparent after deposing the crown prince...

However, accidents occur frequently.

Who would have thought that the father, who was in the prime of his life, would faint or even endanger his life because of overdose of Dan Mercury?

As long as there is even one more year, the father will definitely promote the progress of the Yi Chu, and he will be on the reserve position, just waiting for the father to sit on the throne of the world's supreme after a hundred years...

Seeing that Li Zhi was in a trance, Xiao Yu hurriedly comforted him: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry. It is just an old minister's guess and cannot be sure. Besides, the imperial doctor is still trying to treat him. He just said that His Majesty is in critical condition, so he may not wake up. Come."

Li Zhi let out a breath, rubbed his face vigorously to wake himself up, and said with a wry smile: "In fact, everyone knows what the father's condition is, and even if he wakes up, I'm afraid... everything can be done if it is forewarned, and if it is not forewarned, it will be ruined." , you can’t pin your hopes on all kinds of illusory possibilities, I don’t know why Song Guogong taught me?”

Having said that, try to lift your spirits.

Things have come to this point, since we should try our best to forge ahead indomitably, how can there be any reason to give up halfway?
Xiao Yu was quite relieved, and praised: "Anyone who achieves great things must have perseverance. Your Highness's character is outstanding, which is rare in the world. It is worthwhile for an old minister to follow to the death."

After a pause, he asked with a smile: "Surely this deep palace cannot trap your dragon, Your Highness?"

Although Li Xiaogong ordered all the princes to be placed under house arrest in order to prevent them from sending information to the civil servants and military generals under their command to issue orders to try to fight for the reserve, this Taiji Palace is now like a big leaky ship, seeping water everywhere, but anyone who aspires to a high position , How can there be no means?
Sure enough, Li Zhi nodded and said: "This king grew up beside his father since he was young. He just opened his house and moved out of Taiji Palace when he got married. There are still a few acquaintances in the palace."

Xiao Yu clapped his palms and said: "Your Highness will not disappoint the old minister! Right now, please spread the news immediately, and ask the Duke of E to lead the right guards to attack Chunming Gate, and then ask the Duke of England to win his support."

Li Zhi was stunned: "What's the use of forcing Chunming Gate? Zuo Wuwei is stationed in Chang'an City, and there are Xuanjia iron cavalry inside and outside Xuanwu Gate, left and right guards, it is impossible to force the prince to submit...not to mention the fact that the British public has always been concerned about Yi Chu. Neutral, will never give up the prince to support the king."

He felt that Xiao Yu took it for granted.

Although Yu Chigong is a mighty general in the world, when it comes to the technique of commanding troops, it is not as dazzling as his record.Zuo Wuwei is the most powerful existence among the sixteen guards, otherwise he would not be entrusted with the important task of guarding Gyeonggi by his father, let alone the Xuanjia iron cavalry of the father's personal army inside the Xuanwu Gate, and the Guanlong outside the Xuanwu Gate. The right guard of the army, who discarded his helmet and armor.

However, although Li Ji was entrusted by his father as the head of the prime minister, he is under one man and has the highest courtesy among all officials, but he has a deep personality and is indifferent to fame and wealth. Eye?I am afraid that I will never take the huge risk for this...

Xiao Yu said with a smile: "Of course, the Duke of England will not take risks and get involved in the battle for reserves for a little bit of meritorious service. After all, he is already under one man and above ten thousand people, but His Royal Highness's task is not for the Duke of England. On the side of Prince Jin’s Mansion, it’s about knowing it with emotion and reasoning, so that it makes them afraid to completely break away from the fight for the heir apparent, and they don’t want to get involved in it.”

Li Zhi was stunned.

At the same time as the head of civil servants, Li Ji is now No.1 in the military, and his influence is second to none in the court. It can be said that no matter who Li Ji stands behind, whoever competes for the reserve position It is infinitely large. If you stand directly behind the prince, it is almost impossible for others to fight for the reserve.

However, while Li Ji was indifferent to fame and wealth and was not keen on power, he kept himself clean and would never leave the infamy of a "power minister", so he would most likely avoid fighting for reserves.

As long as Li Ji does not participate in the fight for the reserve, its influence will spread, making the outside world realize the truth that "subjects should not participate in royal affairs", which will greatly offset the prince's reputation...

Seeing that Li Zhi knew everything, Xiao Yu was very satisfied: "Lu Guogong is also the same, but Cheng Yaojin is keen on power but has strong restraint. Underneath, sitting on the outside of the circle with a large army to control the situation."

Li Zhi sneered: "Shameless."

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "Is Lu Guogong such a superficial person? Your Highness, don't be deceived by his rough appearance. He looks rough, but in fact he has a deep mind. Just look at the number of heroes in Wagang Village in the past. You can know the high weight. Lu Guogong has little martial arts and little Wentao, but he can always occupy a place in the court. His Majesty relies on him as his confidant and trusts him because he is the best at standing in line. Under the chaotic situation, he can once Once again standing on the side of the winner, this is also a great skill."

Everyone in the world thinks that Cheng Yaojin is vulgar, but in his opinion, this is the real smart person.

What kind of means and wisdom is it to stay out of the matter and wait for the price, so that you can always stand in the core of the court?No matter how conceited Xiao Yu is, he still thinks that he can't reach Cheng Yaojin's realm.

Of course, the different environments of the two are also the reason for these differences. Cheng Yaojin can fall on both sides, but Xiao Yu, the leader of the Jiangnan gentry, can't...

*****
Li Ji stayed in the Wude store until midnight, until the imperial doctor said that His Majesty Li Er was fine for the time being, then he went to find a secluded side hall, after a simple wash, he lay down on the bed to rest, and heard the rustling outside the window The sound of the dripping rain, the ups and downs of the heart, it is difficult to fall asleep.

The current situation is extremely dangerous. Once His Majesty Li Er dies of a serious illness, it is very likely that a massive civil war will engulf the entire empire.

Even if His Majesty issued a will to confer Jin Wang as heir, how could the crown prince be willing to sit still and wait for death?

There is great terror between life and death, no matter whether the crown prince or the officials of the Eastern Palace who followed him, it is absolutely impossible for them to sit back and watch the King of Jin ascend the throne and start hunting down the Eastern Palace family...

But King Jin has already come to this point, and he is only one line away from the reserve position. Even if there is no will book, he will definitely not die.

Because once the prince secures the throne in the future, the first one to deal with it will be King Jin who once threatened the reserve...

The two brothers are afraid that they will die forever.

But he, the head of the prime minister and the leader of the army, had a hard time choosing a position, because he didn't want to be involved in it... because no matter who he supported, no matter who won or lost, he could not escape being called a "power minister". Above the history, I'm afraid it's hard to get good reviews.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk"

The sound of knocking on the door was very clear in the rainy night, Li Ji raised his voice and asked, "What's the matter?"

Outside the door was his personal soldier: "Marshal, His Royal Highness King Jin is asking to see you."

"Huh?" Li Ji was startled, turned over and got up, sat on the edge of the bed and thought for a while, and said, "Please come in, Your Highness."

He randomly took a robe from a hanger beside him and put it on.

King Jin Kui Ye came here, but he couldn't avoid people's eyes and ears. This obviously forced him to express his opinion...
