The First Family of the Tang Dynasty Chapter 2642 Listen to my uncle, you have to stay in Luoyang and shoulder the heavy responsibility of supervising the country
Chapter 2642 Listen to my uncle, you have to stay in Luoyang and shoulder the heavy responsibility of supervising the country
Zheng Yuanshou and Wang Kui said goodbye to Changsun Wuji and left the Duke of Zhao's mansion.
At this moment, Changsun Wuji was pacing back and forth in the study like a trapped animal, his eyes gloomy.
Your Majesty is so ill that it is difficult to manage, and the prince is still in the south of the Yangtze River. If you can take control of the imperial capital Luoyang.
The person in charge of the country now is Jin Wang Li Zhi, the direct prince who has no independent opinions and has always been well-behaved and submissive.
If we join hands with these aristocratic families, I am afraid that it will be enough to change the fate of ourselves, no, even the entire Changsun family.
Just when the ambition in his eyes was about to overwhelm his reason, he saw the glass vessel gifted by His Majesty on the shelf nearby.
Changsun Wuji hesitated, "No, you can't be too impulsive. What if His Majesty recovers from his illness?"
If that is really the case, even if Li Zhi has already ascended the throne in Luoyang City.
Facing Li Shimin, who had the highest prestige in the hearts of the soldiers and civilians of the Tang Dynasty, he could only lie down obediently and plead guilty.
Although Changsun Wuji forced himself to calm down, there was always a fire of ambition in his heart, which would jump out and ignite from time to time.
"Come here, prepare your car. I want to see His Highness King Jin."

Li Zhi was living a very happy life these days. As a prince overseeing the country, although major decisions were made by his uncle and courtiers, he could only be regarded as a human seal.
But the feeling of sitting behind the desk and enjoying the worship of hundreds of officials made Li Zhi feel that the pleasure was almost breaking through his skull.
I just considered waiting for my biological father to return from Jinyang, or for my eldest brother to return safely from Yangzhou.
Just as he tasted the sweetness of power, he was about to be thrown away by them like a piece of rags.
A strong sense of loss will begin to linger in your heart and will be difficult to let go for a long time.
This made Li Zhi feel very angry. Why were those thieves so unreliable? What if they really killed his eldest brother?
I might feel sad, but in that case, compared with the young nephew Li Xiang, I would be more qualified to stand up and take charge of the overall situation.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, Duke Zhao has something urgent to ask to see Your Highness." A eunuch in charge came quickly and said in a high voice.
"Uncle? Why did he come here..." Li Zhi was a little surprised, but he still stood up immediately and went out to greet him personally.
Not long after, he saw Changsun Wuji coming towards him. Li Zhi quickly bowed obediently to Changsun Wuji and showed a cute and harmless smile.
"Zhi has met his uncle."
Changsun Wuji smiled and stepped forward to help Li Zhi. He glanced around and spoke in a deep voice.
"Okay, Your Highness, there is no need to be polite. Well, I have something to do, so I would like to ask Your Highness to step aside."
Hearing this very rude tone, Li Zhi was very angry, but on the surface he still nodded obediently and then drove the person away.
Changsun Wuji's voice came to his ears.
"Your Majesty, may you know that when your Majesty visited Monan in the north and heard about the assassination of His Royal Highness in Yangzhou, he was so frightened and angry that he became seriously ill and stranded in Jinyang Palace."
"What?!" Li Zhi suddenly turned his head, shocked beyond measure.
Changsun Wuji had sharp eyes, took a deep look at Li Zhi, raised his hand and patted Li Zhi's shoulder gently.
"This matter is too secretive, and I found out about it with great difficulty."
Li Zhi looked very at a loss, his eyes gradually turned red, his expression looked helpless, he looked at the uncle in front of him helplessly and said.
"Then, what should we do? Uncle, I want to go to Jinyang to see my father."
"Nonsense." Changsun Wuji's face darkened slightly, he glared at Li Zhi and scolded him.
"The more times this happens, the more calm you must be. If something unexpected happens to your father in Jinyang."
"Even if you go, it won't be of any help. According to my uncle, you have to stay in Luoyang and shoulder the heavy responsibility of supervising the country and presiding over the overall situation. Do you understand?"
"Treatment... I'll listen to my uncle for treatment, but if there is something wrong with my father, what should I do..."
Seeing Li Zhi's appearance, Changsun Wuji raised the corners of his mouth covertly, patted Li Zhi on the shoulder, and spoke earnestly to comfort the legitimate prince.
After a long time, when Li Zhi's mood stabilized, Changsun Wuji lingered for a while, and then Shi Shiran left the Jin Palace.
Li Zhi respectfully sent Changsun Wuji to the door of the house, and when he saw him boarding the car and leaving, he pursed his lips tightly, turned around and walked slowly, his expression looking so concerned about gains and losses.
Unexpectedly, not far away, someone else came to report that it was his wife's uncle Liu Xi and his wife Wang's great-uncle Wang Kui who had urgent matters and wanted to see him.
Li Zhi smacked his mouth, turned around again, and walked towards the door of the house...

In Luoyang City, in the private room on the top floor of the Peony Pavilion Restaurant, Cheng Chubi, Li Ke and Li Dejiao had just played a few cards.
After the food and wine are served, it’s natural to eat, drink, and devour.
Li Ke, who was half full, couldn't help but sigh when he thought of his brother who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River.
"My eldest brother is also lucky. Fortunately, your father is responsible for safety this time. Otherwise, it would be really dangerous."
Cheng Chubi raised his hand and waved it, and said with regret.
"Okay, this matter is over. Your Highness the Crown Prince is blessed with great fortune, so nothing will happen to you."
Although it is a bit regretful that it was my father who saved the prince's life, at least the credit goes to others, which is a good thing.
But then again, someone who can stage such a big battle to murder the Crown Prince.
Cheng Chubi felt that he could find out who the murderer was just by thinking with his toes.
However, this is not the point of talking about these things. After all, my father-in-law has also told me to keep a low profile and develop.
Especially now, those guys have begun to tear off their disguises and attack the prince directly, which shows that the other party has reached the point of jumping over the wall in a hurry.
At this time, you must be low-key and low-key, so during this period.
Cheng Chubi, who just happened to be a man of honor, Li Dejiang, who was not very willing to work conscientiously, and the gangster Wu Wang Li Ke, were just idle all day long.
It’s almost as if the restaurant has become an office.
The prince was attacked and his majesty was so angry that rivers of blood flowed in the south of the Yangtze River, but it was absolutely inevitable that heads fell to the ground frequently.
It's just that I don't know if His Majesty just wants to stop here, or if he wants to get to the bottom of it.
If His Majesty just wants to end it here, then he can directly punish the aristocratic families in the Jiangnan area.
It can be regarded as letting the more powerful Shandong and Central Plains aristocratic families see his decisiveness and make them be honest.
If we really want to conduct a thorough investigation, tsk tsk tsk... Cheng Chubi feels numb just thinking about it, not to mention anything else, just talking about the five families and seven surnames.
