Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 594

Chu Suiliang mercilessly exposed the lie of Wei Wang Li Tai's "killing his son to pass on his younger brother."

Li Shimin slowly got up and walked out of the Tai Chi Hall, his back was somewhat haggard, and finally Li Shimin still did not make Li Tai the crown prince.

Thinking about it, Li Shimin still has his own ideas, he wants to keep his two beloved sons.Li Chengqian is dead, and only Li Tai and Li Zhi are the legitimate sons of the same mother.

In the end, Li Shimin also understood that it was impossible for Wei Wang Li Tai to "kill his son and pass on his younger brother". If Li Tai succeeded to the throne, Jin Wang Li Zhi would definitely die. We can only abandon the idea of ​​making Li Tai the prince.

In addition, Li Shimin was afraid of reappearing the "Xuanwu Gate Change".

It is well known that Li Shimin seized the throne by killing his brother. Li Chengqian was afraid that Li Shimin would make Li Tai the crown prince, so he was eager to protect himself and rebelled. It cannot be opened, otherwise there will be more imitators in the future, so this is one of the reasons why Li Tai cannot be crowned prince.

The last and most important thing is that the sentence of killing a son to pass on a younger brother is too cruel. The blood-soaked forest made many people feel shuddering, and everyone who heard it would be so shocked, how terrible the person who said it should be.

Li Tai was still happily waiting in the mansion for Li Shimin to announce that he was the crown prince, but Li Tai never thought that his position as crown prince had nothing to do with him anymore.

Li Shimin had already decided that after the sizi's recruitment of relatives was over, he would announce Li Zhi as the prince, while Li Tai would be conferred the title of King of Shunyang County and placed in Yunxiang County, Junzhou.

For the safety of his son Li Zhi, Li Shimin would also do something to Li You. He would first let Li You go to Lingnan to suppress the rebellion. If the suppression of the rebellion failed, Li Shimin would directly order Li You to go to the fiefdom.

If the suppression of the rebellion is successful, then Li Shimin will order Li You to clean up Lingnan and let Li You stay in Lingnan for three years. This is Li Shimin's conspiracy, and it depends on how Li You responds.

But Li Shimin would not have thought that an unexpected event broke Li Shimin's already thought-out idea, and Li Tai finally received the news that Li Tai lost his qualification to be the crown prince.

After all, Li Tai's news network in Chang'an is still very strong. About half an hour after Li Shimin left the Taiji Hall, Li Tai already knew everything that happened in the Taiji Hall.

When Li Tai summoned his confidantes to the mansion again to discuss matters, Cen Wenwen, Liu Ji, Fang Yiai, Du Chuke, Li Tai's former confidants did not come, and only one person came in a hurry, that is Chai Lingwu.

Seeing Chai Lingwu who came in a hurry, Li Tai was full of thoughts for a moment, and a line of tears fell from his eyes. This feeling of loneliness made Li Tai feel extremely depressed.

At this time, Chai Lingwu also felt Li Tai's frustration, although Chai Lingwu walked to Li Tai's side and comforted slightly: "Your Highness, General Ling will always stay by your side, as long as you don't leave, Lingwu will never give up."

He patted Chai Lingwu on the shoulder, but Li Tai sighed and smiled: "Chai Lingwu, you are really ridiculous, do you know what kind of thing you are, and you dare to stay with me just because you are a dog?
Stop joking, Chai Lingwu, do you know what you are in my heart?

Hehe, you are just a dog. This king is raising your dog for the sake of my aunt, but I don’t know that your dog really thinks he is a human being, haha..haha! "

Li Tai laughed loudly, then pointed directly at Chai Lingwu and said, "Go away!"

"You...!" Chai Lingwu, who was insulted and scolded directly, was very angry, and felt wronged by being scolded. He clearly came to show his loyalty, but he didn't expect that he was treated like this by the other party, and his help was exchanged for ridicule. After looking at Li Tai, Chai Lingwu shook his head and got up and shouted, "Go, I'll go. I'm the one who made it up, and I'm the one who climbed up!"

After speaking, Chai Lingwu left angrily.

Just looking at the back of Chai Lingwu leaving angrily, Li Tai showed a faint smile, and then said slightly: "Lingwu, when I wait for my success, I will definitely thank you. If this king fails, you will not have anything to do with this king."

After the smile, Li Tai's slightly grim expression turned dark, looking in the direction of Taiji Palace, Li Tai gritted his teeth and said, "Father, you forced me, and I don't want to, but your back-and-forth is really true." Make me never want to respect you again.

Winner and loser, this king will not be as stupid as the prince, wanting to resist you, anyway, father, you only have two legitimate sons, if he dies, father, you have no choice. "

"withdraw troops.!"

As night fell, the drums in Chang'an City sounded. As long as the drums sounded, it was the time of curfew. Although the Huben Guards were patrolling Chang'an, it was during the daytime. As long as it was night, the Huben Guards would return to their barracks outside the city. Wei came to take over the inspection at night.

Huben Guard is not yet qualified for night inspections.

Following Li Zhi's yell, Li Zhi's platoon immediately withdrew its troops and prepared to return to its barracks. At this moment, a carriage stopped in front of Li Zhi. Li Zhi stared blankly at the head protruding from the carriage. Shouted: "Uncle, why are you here?"

The head protruding from the carriage was none other than Changsun Wuji.

"Young slave. Don't go back to your house today, let's sit at your house."

"Ah, let's go...!" Li Zhi frowned slightly. To be honest, he didn't want to chat with his uncle. You must know that Li Zhi always felt that his uncle was a bit sinister. He didn't like it very much. When people sit and talk together, he will feel very uncomfortable.

But he is an elder and supports him, so Li Zhi has nothing to do, so he rode his horse and prepared to go to Dunhuafang.

But at this moment, Changsun Wuji said: "Don't go to Dunhuafang today, go back to your Jinwang Mansion. I have important matters to discuss with you, so try not to go to places with many people and chatter."

This time Li Zhi frowned even more. For some reason, he always felt that something bad was about to happen.

There was no way, Li Zhi finally did not return to the barracks tonight, but went back to his Prince Jin Mansion together with Changsun Wuji. As soon as he arrived in the mansion, Li Zhi jumped off his horse, showing his ability as a soldier.

The eldest grandson Wuji, who saw Li Zhi's current appearance in the carriage, also nodded slightly. This kind of Li Zhi fits the appearance of a prince in his heart, which made him very satisfied with his choice.

The two walked into the mansion one after the other, and after Li Zhi finished unloading his armor, they came to Li Zhi's study together, and the servants served two cups of tea. After the two sat down, Changsun Wuji first took a sip of tea and said, "I have good news for you. Wei Wang Li Tai has been removed from His Majesty's selection of the crown prince."

"Huh?" As soon as Changsun Wuji said this, Li Zhi on the side looked very shocked, and immediately shouted: "How is this possible? Didn't the father already promise the fourth brother verbally, saying that the throne of the father is the fourth brother?" It is not something that others can covet."

"Indeed..." Changsun Wuji nodded and smiled, "His Majesty once promised King Wei verbally, but King Wei was too impatient. He saw that you are getting better and better, and His Majesty's attitude towards you is also more and more caring and pampering. So he panicked and told a vicious lie that no fool would believe."

"What lie?" Li Zhi looked at Changsun Wuji questioningly.

"Kill your son and pass on your younger brother!"

"Hiss!" After Changsun Wuji said these four words, Li Zhi on the side was also startled: "Kill your son to pass on to your younger brother...?"

"That's right!" Changsun Wuji nodded slightly and said, "This is Li Tai who went to the doctor in a hurry. His Majesty discussed Li Tai's words in the court this morning. Originally, His Majesty intended Li Tai to be the crown prince, but then Li Tai's lies were exposed by Chu Tunliang, and His Majesty was very disappointed for a moment. I could see that Li Tai would never have the chance to be happy as the prince again.

So now, you have a great chance to be the prince! "

"I'm the prince?" Li Zhi showed a horrified expression.

"Why don't you want to be the prince." Changsun Wuji looked at Li Zhi and said, "You are His Majesty's son, and neither of your elder brothers can be a prince, so it is logical for you to be a prince, but if one day His Majesty calls you into the palace , to ask you about your opinion on being a prince.

Remember, you must be humble and silent, and don't make any opinions. You just say that everything is based on your majesty's ideas. If your majesty gives it, you follow it.

What's more, if His Majesty grants you the crown prince position, then you must do your best to keep King Wei safe, speak like your father, and give your elder brother Li Tai the greatest convenience and safety.

Only in this way will His Majesty rest assured of you, because what His Majesty likes about you is your benevolence and filial piety, and what His Majesty dislikes most now is brotherhood, do you understand? "

Changsun Wuji looked hard at Li Zhi who was on the side, Li Zhi frowned and nodded, "I see.!"

"Okay!" Seeing Li Zhi nodding, Changsun Wuji also showed a gratified expression, and then he heard Changsun Wuji say again: "Besides this, you have one more important thing to do."

"What's the matter?" Li Zhi asked.

"It is the military control of the Huben Guard. If you want to unite with the second generation of officials who are with you, you must hold the control of the bottom in your hands. I can already predict that the Huben Guard will be a very strong army in the future. So you have to hold military control in your hands desperately.

If you can't get it, you have to tell His Majesty immediately, remove the designation of Hubenwei, and directly integrate the soldiers of Hubenwei into the other sixteen guards. You must not let Hubenwei exist, let alone the army of Hubenwei. The control is in Li You's hands. "

After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, Li Zhi's eyes jumped slightly.
