Man Tang Hong Chapter 0315 Imperial Throne and Imperial Power
Li Yuanji silently put rice into his mouth. After he was full of wine and food, he suddenly looked at Yang Miaoyan and said, "Have I done anything scary recently?"
Yang Miaoyan was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully: "Why do you say that?"
Li Yuanji mused: "I found that there is someone with a similar status to us, and he started to be afraid of me."
Yang Miaoyan blurted out, "Uncle Wang with supernatural power?"
Li Yuanji nodded candidly.
Yang Miaoyan thought about it and said, "It should be related to everything that happened in Chang'an City recently."
Li Yuanji said thoughtfully: "Are you talking about the clan members being assigned?"
Yang Miaoyan nodded slowly and said: "Although I don't know the whole story, I heard some rumors that this matter is related to Alang."
Li Yuanji understood it immediately.
Now I understand why Li Shentong is afraid of him.
Since the founding of Li Tang, Li Yuan has been kind to all other clan members (excluding Li Yuan's children), except for Li Xiaogong once.
The other clan members also knew how to behave and treated Li Yuan respectfully.
Therefore, Li Yuan did not severely punish any member of the clan.
Li Jiancheng set a precedent by assigning members of the clan this time.
In order to avoid being misunderstood by the clan members as being cold-blooded, and in order to prevent the clan members from fearing that he would kill him after he ascended the throne, he gave up his neutrality and ran to support Li Shimin.
Li Jiancheng framed the incident on his head and made him take the blame.
This time, Li Yuan sealed off the Tai Chi Palace and strictly controlled the city of Chang'an. Afterwards, he asked Li Jiancheng to arrest and distribute people on a large scale, which really sounded the alarm to all the clansmen and nobles in Chang'an City.
Let the clan members and nobles realize that in the Tang Dynasty, except for the direct descendants of the Li family, others had no way to control their own life and death.
Fortunately for you nobles, life and death are originally in the hands of the direct descendants of the Li family. At most, it just deepens the impression.
The clan members are different.
They have only been members of the royal family for a short time, and some of them are inevitably a little arrogant, always feeling that they already control their own life and death.
As a result, Li Yuan told them with practical actions that no matter when the time comes and no matter what their status is, their life and death will still be decided by their direct descendants.
Then some of them regained their respect for their direct descendants.
He is especially in awe of those who dare to attack the common people in an unprecedented way.
"Brother really treats me well."
Li Yuanji sighed quietly, not knowing how to complain about Li Jiancheng.
I just helped you out, and you started doing it. Didn’t you learn a lesson?!
Yang Miaoyan was astute and immediately guessed the deep meaning of Li Yuanji's words, "You mean, this is what elder brother framed you for?"
Li Yuanji spread his hands, "What else?"
Yang Miaoyan said in confusion: "Why does elder brother do this to you?"
Li Yuanji joked: "I'm afraid of getting a bad reputation, and I'm afraid of offending other clan members and causing them to run to support my second brother."
Yang Miaoyan was silent for a moment and said, "Then why didn't he directly frame the second brother?"
Li Yuanji opened his mouth, but didn't speak.
Why else?
Of course it was because Li Shimin was about to conquer Yang Wengan.
He felt guilty as a thief and did not dare to fight Li Shimin at this time, for fear that Li Shimin would 'discover' something extraordinary after defeating Yang Wenqian.
For example, his purpose in raising private soldiers was to splatter Tai Chi Palace with blood and seize power from Li Yuan.
No matter how generous Li Yuan is, he cannot tolerate his son doing such a thing.
For a feudal patriarch and a feudal emperor, what I give you is yours. If I don’t give it to you, you can’t take it away.
Historically, after Li Shimin launched a coup, he became the crown prince first and then the emperor, rather than doing everything in one step.
Li Yuanji did not think that Li Shimin could not see the risks of keeping Li Yuan.
I don’t think Li Shimin can’t see the price he will bear if this small transition fails.
After Li Jiancheng and his predecessor died, Li Yuan did not have no other options.
For Li Yuan, a legitimate son does not necessarily have to be the son of Queen Dou.
As long as there are enough reasons, Li Yuan can depose Queen Dou, depose the son of Queen Dou as the legitimate son, establish another queen, and support another direct line.
This is what Li Yuan's grandson did.
The eternal empress Wu Mei also went up like this.
The reason why Li Yuan did not make other choices was because Li Shimin was strong enough and had enough people supporting Li Shimin, so that Li Shimin could secure the throne, and Li Yuan did not want to see the family business he had worked so hard to build destroyed by himself, so he chose
He gave in instead of fighting with Li Shimin.
But there is no way to gamble on this kind of thing.
What changes will happen depends on Li Yuan's thoughts.
Therefore, before and after Li Shimin launched the coup, it seemed that things were going smoothly, but in fact he was taking huge risks.
Seeing that Li Yuanji was unwilling to say more, Yang Miaoyan didn't ask any more questions.
After cleaning up the leftovers left by Li Yuanji, he poured some hot liqueur for Li Yuanji.
"Brother, wait for me..."
"Plop..."
"..."
Four little guys, Li Chengqian, Li Ling, Li Xu, and Li Chengye, ran over madly when Li Yuanji was about to drink sweet wine.
Li Chengye was still holding his beloved pet Huhu.
The tiny arms tightly wrapped around Huhu's neck, causing Huhu to stick out his tongue.
One of them didn't pay attention and tripped over a lump of dirt on the ground. Huhu's head was also pressed to the ground.
Li Yuanji's mouth twitched, feeling that Huhu wouldn't survive long in Li Chengye's hands.
In order to get Huhu out of Li Chengye's clutches, it was necessary to find Yu Wenbao to catch a few more red pandas.
Previously, I was afraid that sending people to catch red pandas would make others mistakenly think that I like red pandas, and then they would collectively harm the red pandas.
Now it seems that it is not a bad thing that the red panda was captured in Prince Qi's Mansion and became a cute pet in the garden.
If we can create a stir and let the red panda replace the lynx and become the new favorite of all the wealthy families in Chang'an City, it may also promote the breeding of red pandas.

"Chengye, hurry up!"
Li Chengqian ran and shouted at Li Chengye.
I don't know what they are running about in a hurry or what they are going to do.
Anyway, he seemed to be in a hurry.
Li Chengye fell, but he didn't cry. He got up without waiting for the maids to help him, and went to chase Li Chengqian.
"The First Minister of the Ming Dynasty"
Seeing Li Chengqian running wildly like a wild horse without any trace of the well-behaved wooden man before, Li Yuanji smiled knowingly.
That's very good.
Anyway, no matter how well you learn the rules and how advanced your knowledge is, your chances of becoming emperor are not great, so why bother yourself?
It’s good to have fun while you’re young.
Let’s all be idle together and leave the things that should be worried about to the people who should be worried about.
Then eat their food, drink their food, and whip them with a small whip when nothing happens. Isn't it very interesting?
"Why do I think you look at Cheng Qian with ill intentions?"
Yang Miaoyan looked at the smile on Li Yuanji's face that she didn't know how to describe, and said with a strange expression.
Li Yuanji glanced at Yang Miaoyan and said, "Don't talk nonsense. If my second sister-in-law knows about it, she won't know how to blame me."
Yang Miaoyan said funny: "Then you should find more teachers and teach Cheng Qian well, and don't let the second sister-in-law blame you."
Li Yuanji said with a smile: "No hurry, no rush..."
Yang Miaoyan didn't know what kind of medicine Li Yuanji was selling in his gourd, so he simply ignored Li Yuanji and went out to chase Li Chengqian, Li Ling, Li Xu, and Li Chengye.
It can be seen that Yang Miaoyan still has the idea of nurturing Li Chengqian, Li Ling and others into talents.
Therefore, it is inevitable that Li Chengqian, Li Ling and others will write ten big characters today.
Li Yuanji poured himself a drink in a good mood. He didn't care about being tricked by Li Jiancheng.
The more Li Jiancheng cheats him now, the less guilty he will feel if he cheats Li Jiancheng in the future.
What Li Jiancheng cheated on him was just a trivial matter. What he wanted to cheat was Li Jiancheng's everything.
"I will help you achieve your wish that you have not achieved in history. It's just a throne. I'll give it to you. After all, you are the eldest son, so you have a legitimate title.
But don’t hold the power anymore, leave it to me and Li Shimin.”
Li Yuanji picked up the wine cup, took a careful sip, and added quietly, "This is the price you pay for cheating me."
This is also Li Yuanji's plan.
To be precise, it was part of Li Yuanji's plan.
The throne is certainly precious, but the preciousness of the throne is bestowed by imperial power.
Imperial power is the embodiment of the highest power.
As long as the actual supreme power and the throne are separated, then the throne will not be so precious.
Now, Li Jiancheng is not at the worst disadvantage, and his reputation as a righteous person is quite stable.
If he were to take the throne, it would be impossible for him to give up the supreme power, and there would be no way to separate the supreme power from the throne.
Therefore, Li Yuanji has been quietly making plans and waiting quietly.
Waiting for Li Shimin to push Li Jiancheng to the lowest disadvantage step by step, waiting for Li Shimin to smash Li Jiancheng's righteousness to pieces.
Then take action.
When Li Jiancheng reaches the end of the road, and when Li Jiancheng's reputation for justice is shattered, if he keeps Li Jiancheng's life and allows Li Jiancheng to take the position, Li Jiancheng will no longer be able to fight for the highest power, and he will not dare to hold on to the highest power.
.
At that time, it will depend on whether Li Shimin wants to be an emperor like a mascot, or whether he wants to share half of the supreme power.
Anyway, when Li Jiancheng comes to power, he will fully accept all of Li Jiancheng's 'legacy'.
There is Li Jiancheng's 'legacy', coupled with the power in his hands.
Even if Li Shimin is dissatisfied, he can still use tricks on Li Shimin.
In addition, once Li Jiancheng reaches the end of the road, Li Yuan will no longer be able to reconcile with him after seeing the worst possible outcome, so he can only stand by his side without reservation.
A founding emperor, a virtuous prince, and a reincarnated overlord, three people suppressed one person.
Even if the opponent is the emperor of eternity, he still has to be restrained.
