Chapter 169 The choice of the eldest grandson family

Changsun Nanhao paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. The news he received today made him very restless. If the Regent's condition was really to the point where he was prone to sudden death, how long could the Regent last?

Once the emperor regains power, the fate of the Changsun family is worrying!

Changsun Hongren continued: "If Li Feng really inherited the position of regent, he is indeed not the emperor's opponent. The regent should have seen this and was eager to change the prince."

Changsun Nanhao shook his head, "It's not so easy to change the prince? Do you think Li Chengqi doesn't understand? Things are not as simple as you think."

"Father, the child doesn't understand!"

Changsun Nanhao sighed, "Your grandfather said something to me before his death, and suddenly stood at a high place, so that I could see everything that happened from a high place, and all the questions were solved."

"What did grandfather say?"

"Your grandfather said that the incident of the Gate Slaying Incident was not successful. If it were successful, it would be that the Supreme Emperor would be restored to the throne and ascend to the emperor. There is nothing wrong with the emperor now. Because it was not successful, it had to use a regent to rule, which left a huge hidden danger."

"What my father said is the hidden danger..."

"Legality!" Changsun Nanhao said slowly.

"Legality?" Changsun Hongren's eyes were a little confused.

Changsun Nanhao nodded, "The Regent has existed since ancient times, but no matter what name he uses, the essence is the same. It is a temporary arrangement. Its definition is deeply rooted in people's hearts. Only the emperor is in power forever, and the Supreme Emperor also knows this. Therefore, the agreement signed by the three parties at that time was that the Regent would only last for two generations, the Supreme Emperor and Li Chengqi, and Li Chengqi would have to return the power to the emperor afterwards. I am also one of the witnesses of this agreement."

Changsun Hongren faintly understood what his father meant. He pondered for a moment: "So the Regent's prince himself is illegal. The Regent is very worried about this matter. His current trouble changing the prince is also related to this legality?"

"You're right!"

Changsun Nanhao said lightly: "He doesn't want to change the prince, but wants to make the prince legal."

"Can my father say in detail?"

"For example, the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall opposed the change of princes, took out the eldest son as the heir, took out the prince's son as the heir, and gave the prince's son not to lose his morality, etc., etc., to oppose it with all kinds of open and upright reasons. The more they oppose, the happier Li Chengqi was. This is a kind of consolidation of legitimacy, but it is not enough. The emperor also needs to issue an order to clarify that Li Guan is the prince, and finally the army announced that he would support the legitimate son Li Guan as the heir.

Only in this way, Li Feng's position as crown prince will be completely legal. Even if Li Feng is not Li Longji's opponent in the future, he will only cede more power. Li Longji is easily unsatisfied with abolishing the Regent. Li Feng's son is still not the Regent, so it depends on the game of the third generation."

Changsun Hongren pondered for a moment and said, "But what the Regent did now is a substantial move of changing the prince. Letting Li Xun attend the Political Affairs Hall on behalf of him is not like pretending to be pretending!"

"Hmph! Of course, you have to pretend to be a little bit like it. Even Li Xun and Li Feng were thought to be true. Let me tell you, if Li Chengqi really wants to change the regent prince, he must change the princess first. This is the key. If the princess doesn't change, everything is fake."

Changsun Hongren suddenly realized that he didn't expect this. To abolish the prince, he must first abolish the queen, and the regent is the same!

Li Xun's paralyzed mother didn't take office for a day, so Li Xun could not think of becoming the prince.

However, to depose the princess, we must consider the opinions of the Changsun family and even the entire Guanlong nobles. The regent did not send anyone to interview the Changsun family, and the news of the change of prince was completely nonsense.

"Father, are we going to Xingqing Palace to express our attitude?"

Changsun Nanhao shook his head and said worriedly: "Actually, what I am worried about is that Li Chengqi will die suddenly. Once Li Chengqi is gone, even if Li Feng inherits the regent, he will be severely suppressed by the emperor and lose power. At that time, the emperor will deal with the enemy who was in the transformation of the sect."

Changsun Hongren was stunned, "No way!"

"No? Humph! Why do you think King Xue Li Ye died? Why do you think the Yuan family was dealt with? The number one hero who supported the trembling change in the Sect was the Regent. He won't mention it. The second is King Xue Li Ye, and the second is Yuan Biao, as well as the great general Zhou Ziku and the tiger-ben Lang General Wang Yuanzhan. Our Changsun family is also one of them. Do you think the emperor will let the Changsun family go?"

Of course, Sun Hongren, the chief of the incident, knew that his father had mentioned it several times, but the question was, why did his father mention this matter again now? Could it be that Li Chengqi really died suddenly?

Changsun Hongren was thinking randomly in his mind. Changsun Nanhao looked out the window and said slowly: "This is an opportunity. If we do well, our Changsun family will be able to escape this disaster."

"What is my father going to do?"

"Two things need to be done. First, you send me a letter to Gao Lishi; second, the old man of the Dou family celebrates his birthday next month, and tell the Dou family that I will come to pay my birthday in person."

The Changsun family and the Dou family burn different incense. Although they did not get along like the Yuan family and the Dou family, they did not interact with each other until they died. They had not had any contact for more than ten years.

My father actually wanted to come to pay his birthday in person, it was like the sun hitting the west!

Changsun Hongren also knew in his heart that the situation was better than others, and his father was preparing to change the incense.

.............

Li Longji stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back and listened to Gao Lishi's report, and said coldly: "Back then, Changsun Pingxiao led his army to guard the east gate and did not allow me to leave the Ming Palace. I almost begged him, but he was still unmoved. I have not forgotten the humiliating scene."

Gao Lishi advised: "Although Changsun Pingxiao did not allow His Majesty to leave the palace, he was indeed not a good attitude, but from another perspective, he also allowed His Majesty to avoid the sneak attacks of those unknown samurai groups. If His Majesty left the palace at that time, there would be dozens of guards around him, and once those samurai were discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable."

The situation of the Death Sect Transformation was very chaotic. There were three samurai groups of unknown origins wandering around the Daming Palace. One of them was the Goguryeo samurai, with about 200 people who wanted to take advantage of the situation. There were also two samurai groups that were probably secret samurai sent by King Xue and Yuan's family.

Afterwards, Li Longji realized that staying in the palace was a wise move.

After a while, Li Longji slowly said: "Well, Changsun Pingxiao has passed away. I don't care about this matter. But the Changsun family clearly supported the Supreme Emperor. The Yuan family was the first to sign the letter of support, and the second one was the Changsun family..."

Gao Lishi knew that Li Longji had always been upset about the things that happened back then, so he persuaded him bitterly: "Your Majesty, Changsun Pingxiao is Li Chengqi's father-in-law. It is normal for him to support Li Chengqi. Now Your Majesty does not have an advantage. At this critical moment, the Changsun family secretly turned against him, which is a great help to His Majesty to regain the imperial power. This is a good thing!"

Thinking that Changsun Pingxiao was Li Chengqi's father-in-law, Li Longji's dissatisfaction became much more dull. Will his father-in-law still support himself if he doesn't support his son-in-law?

"What do you say about Changsun Nanhao?" Li Longji finally figured it out.

"Please read this letter with your majesty!"

Gao Lishi presented Changsun Nanhao's letter to Li Longji. Li Longji opened the letter and read it, and was stunned.

Li Chengqi's change of prince is just a strategy. He actually wanted to fight for the prince's legitimacy to inherit the regent. Is this true?

"Gao Aiqing, what do you think?" Li Longji asked in his hand.

"Weichen thinks there is a possibility. At the beginning, the three parties signed an agreement. The regent was only two terms, and Li Chengqi should have no more after that. However, Li Chengqi wanted his children and grandchildren to inherit. Originally, the regent was a temporary rule, so there was no reason to be the regent for a long time. Therefore, the regent was indeed illegal. It is reasonable for Li Chengqi to fight for inheritance for his children and grandchildren to be legal."

Li Longji pondered for a moment and said, "Is he pretending to be in poor health over the past few months just to confirm the inheritance rights for his son?"

Gao Lishi smiled slightly, "If this is the case, Changsun Nanhao will be ruined."

Li Longji smiled knowingly. Isn’t Changsun Nanhao just because Li Chengqi’s condition is serious?

Gao Lishi put away his joke and said, "Your Majesty, the news we received should not be false. The Regent is indeed in serious condition. He is arranging his funeral."

"Then how should I deal with it?"

"Your Majesty keeps silent!"

Li Longji nodded, this suggestion is good.

"What about Changsun's family?"

"Weichen suggested that the Changsun family cooperate with 32balang. Weichen believed that the 32balang would make full use of the Changsun family's resources."

Li Longji also knew that his son Li Xiu had stared at Li Cui, and influenced his brother Li Xun through Li Cui, thus provoking an infighting between Li Xun and Li Feng.

Li Longji recognized this idea. Whether it was Li Chengqi's death or behind, the internal struggle of his offspring would become Li Chengqi's biggest weakness and a stepping stone to regain the imperial power.

But provoking the regent's internal struggle cannot give anyone a handle, so it is a good plan to let the Changsun family take the blame.
