Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 534 Catastrophe is imminent

After dealing with Princess Gaoyang's injury, His Majesty Li Er did not return to the Taiji Palace for the first time.His Majesty the Emperor is convinced that he has control over the court situation, even if there is one or two clowns, it is completely impossible to shake his country.

Of course, he hasn't figured out how to deal with the eldest son Chong, and he has to think about what will happen once the prince is involved?

In the back hall of the Fang Family Manor, His Majesty Li Er called the eldest grandson Wuji.

The two rulers and ministers sat opposite each other.

His Majesty Li Er sipped his tea lightly, expressionless and silent.

Zhangsun Wuji looked at the emperor's face and felt a little uneasy in his heart.He didn't know what the emperor announced that he was coming to discuss matters, but there was always some inexplicable worry in his heart, because the emperor's expression and behavior were really abnormal.

The emperor kept silent, which made the eldest grandson Wuji feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, so he had to ask tentatively, "Your Majesty, Xuan Weichen is here, I don't know what is important?"

His Majesty Li Er was still sipping his tea and remained silent.

After a long time, he slowly said: "I want to change King Li Tai of Wei as the crown prince, what do you think about the auxiliary machine?"

Changsun Wuji was taken aback.

Although His Majesty has been dissatisfied with the prince for a long time, and his intention to depose the prince and replace him with Li Tai is well known by passers-by, it is the first time that he has opened his mouth so clearly and without any scruples.From this point of view, it must have been decided?
Zhangsun Wuji hesitated, not knowing how to answer.

This time Hou Junji and Li Yuanchang rebelled and kept saying that they wanted to force the emperor to take the throne and help the prince to ascend the throne, which really pushed the prince into a desperate situation.Zhangsun Wuji didn't know the true thoughts of these two people, but being so blatant would definitely leave a grudge in the emperor's heart.

Before I die, I will be overshadowed by my own son, and even at the cost of treason, the minister will protect his son and replace him?
It can be said that when Hou Junji and Li Yuanchang shouted the words "Emperor Zen, the crown prince ascends the throne", no matter whether His Royal Highness participated in the rebellion or not, there are only two endings waiting for him.

Either the emperor takes the throne, and the prince ascends the throne.

Either the rebellion fails and the prince deposes...

It is said that there are no two heavens, no two countries, no two masters, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and the eldest grandson Wuji does not think there is a third possibility.

but……

Is King Wei Li Tai really suitable to be a prince?
On the surface, both the Crown Prince Li Chengqian and the Wei King Li Tai are the nephews of his eldest grandson Wuji, and they are linked by blood.No matter which of the two becomes the emperor, the eldest grandson's family can maintain their respected status to a great extent, and have power over the court and the opposition!
But in reality, that's not the case.

In Changsun Wuji's view, the stability and extension of the court situation is necessary, which is in the interests of the country, and more in line with the interests of the Changsun family. The prince cannot easily be deposed.However, the sensitive Changsun Wuji vaguely noticed that the relationship between his son Changsun Chong and the prince was not as friendly as it seemed. If the prince ascended the throne, would it have an unpredictable impact on the future of the Changsun family?
If Li Tai was replaced as the prince, the eldest grandson Wuji did not think it was an appropriate move.

Back then, His Majesty Li Er created the change of Xuanwu Gate by himself, killing his brother and killing his younger brother to force his father to abdicate, which has already broken the tradition of the eldest son ascending the throne since ancient times. Fuel this trend?

From now on, the princes all know that the crown prince is not the heir to inherit the throne, and everyone has to fight, which will shake the country's capital, and there will be no peace!

Therefore, in order to consider the overall situation, the eldest grandson Wuji still said: "Although there is something wrong with the prince, but after all, he is not in a position to be deposed. In this rebellion, whether the prince is involved in this rebellion needs to be strictly investigated by the three departments. Can you easily move the heart of Yichu? Please think again, Your Majesty."

Everyone has selfish intentions, but Zhangsun Wuji's words are indeed from the overall situation, fair and rigorous.

His Majesty Li Er put down the teacup and looked up at Zhangsun Wuji, as if he was about to see some clues on the face of this old friend of his wife, brother and comrade-in-arms.

Did you say something wrong?

Just when the eldest grandson Wuji was suspicious and inexplicable, His Majesty Li Er waved his hand, and Wang De, who was waiting at the door, immediately walked in and respectfully placed the two books on the table in front of the eldest grandson Wuji.

Zhangsun Wuji was a little surprised.

"Look, what good things have your good son and good nephew done!" His Majesty Li Er said angrily, but then he sighed again.

The same father, how can the word "anger" express the complicated feelings in his heart for his untalented sons?

The eldest grandson Wuji is at a loss, and what does it have to do with his son?

Unfolding the book and taking a cursory look, Changsun Wuji's face turned pale with fright!
One of them is the confession of Sun Bao, the chief steward of Fuzhong. He carefully and carefully signed all the confessions on how Sun Chong designed the prince to fall off a horse and break his leg, how to assassinate the king of Wei Li Tai and Yu Zhining to frame the prince, etc.; Ben, it is the confession of the eldest grandson Chong who spent a lot of money to buy the archer in the army and assassinated Fang Jun in the chaos...

"This, this..." Zhangsun Wuji was completely dumbfounded, the sudden change made him incoherent, Douda's cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and he panicked: "Your Majesty, someone must have framed Chong'er, Your Majesty, please look into it! Chong'er! As for Fang Jun, although there is a lot of filth between the two, but just based on the confession of a soldier, he believes that the mastermind is the rush Son, it's a bit sloppy..."

The eldest grandson Wuji pleaded for his son, but in his heart it was a fluke!

Others may not believe these two confessions, but Changsun Wuji just glanced at it and was convinced!The so-called acquaintance Mo Ruofu, the abnormal attitude between the son and the crown prince, and the endless hatred between the son and Fang Jun, it is really normal to do these things!
The reason why he was lucky was because the emperor asked him Yi Chu's opinion just now. If he agreed to depose the prince Li Chengqian, wouldn't it prove that their father and son wanted to put the prince to death?

That would really be a disaster!
As for now, at least there is still some room to turn around...

His Majesty Li Er sighed, looked at his eldest grandson Wuji, who was covered in cold sweat and panic, and sighed: "You and I, monarchs and ministers, have been in troubled times since the beginning of time. After going through ups and downs, strategizing and strategizing the bloody battlefield, the flower group managed by this splendid river and mountain has been solidified. But I don't want to fail utterly in the education of my children!"

Zhangsun Wuji was so ashamed that he burst into tears, and he bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty's kindness, Wuji is inscribed with five guilt, and it is difficult to repay if you are shattered! If you have a son like this, how can you serve Your Majesty in the future? Wei Chen will go home and give That bastard is happy, and he has an explanation for His Majesty! It's just that this child, Lizhi, suffers..."

Designing the prince to fall off a horse, assassinate the prince, and frame the prince, what kind of crime is this?In any dynasty, it is a heinous crime of beheading and genocide!Zhangsun Wuji knew that the emperor would not be so heartless, but now listening to the emperor's words, although he would not be held responsible, his son would definitely not be able to keep it!

Zhangsun Wuji is a sensible person, so he did not ask for forgiveness of the eldest grandson.

Of course, it was impossible for him to mention Princess Changle deliberately without making a last effort.

For this eldest daughter who looks exactly like her mother's eldest grandson, she is probably Aiwu and Wu. Her Majesty Li Er's love for her is unparalleled, even Princess Jinyang, who is the most favored by the emperor in the eyes of the world, is also a bit inferior!
His Majesty Li Er was also confused.

Changsun Chong is the one he grew up watching and growing up. He has always been smart, handsome, gentle and suave. Otherwise, how could he marry his eldest daughter?How can they cultivate and cultivate deliberately at a young age?
But I never thought that this child's heart was so vicious!
But if Changsun was ordered to commit suicide, what would Changle do?
For royal princesses, remarriage is not uncommon, but His Majesty Li Er also knows Chang Le's temperament. Once the eldest grandson Chong confers the head, she is afraid that she will accompany the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng all her life, and this is the end of her life...

National law and family love, His Majesty Li Er can clearly distinguish which is more important.

But when it came time to choose, it made him very entangled and it was difficult to make a choice...
