Chapter 2662 In the eyes of my uncle, this king can't see the slightest respect
But the aristocratic family tried every means to obstruct it and wanted to continue to dominate the court as before.
What they did was just to bring trouble to my father-in-law, and their sinister intentions were simply outrageous.
Fortunately, Li Shimin was, after all, a well-known emperor in history. He knew very well what to do to maximize the Tang Dynasty's best interests.
After arriving in Jinyang and knowing his father-in-law's overall plan, Cheng Chubi had to admit it.
The father-in-law's ideas are so bold and his methods are so resolute that only a king like him, who has spent his life in the military and is extremely confident in his abilities, would dare to do it.
Anyway, Cheng Chubi didn't think that the crown prince Li Chengqian would dare to do this if he stripped off his clothes and showed off his flesh, and even if Li Chengqian wanted to, he would do it.
He also lacks the huge prestige that his father Li Shimin has accumulated over the years and his commanding power over the world's soldiers and horses.
Naturally, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who had accumulated a lot of prestige, had a strong deterrent effect on aristocratic families.
This is why those aristocratic families did not receive news confirming the life and death of their father-in-law before.
Although my heart was so turbulent, my actions seemed so trembling.
At midnight the next day, Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, quietly left Jinyang Palace under the protection of Yuchi Gong and his soldiers.
After walking for dozens of miles, we arrived at the dock on the Fen River, boarded the boat that had been prepared for the reception, and headed straight downstream.
Cheng Chubi and Li Ke could only huddle in the cabin and follow the team heading south.
In the south, in order to prevent Prince Li Chengqian and Cheng Yaojin from leading their army to advance north, after the Chuzhou governor was also captured.
Sizhou changed its operations. The governor of Sizhou no longer made the decision without authorization and diverted grain and other baggage for other purposes.
Instead, His Royal Highness the King of Jin, who oversees the country, passed a court meeting on the grounds that Yunzhou, located in the hinterland of Shandong Province, suffered floods this summer.
The governor of Sizhou was ordered to transport all the grain and grass baggage in the state to Yunzhou as disaster relief materials.
And not only Sizhou, but also Xuzhou, Songzhou and surrounding states and counties are also sending reinforcements of grain and grass to Yunzhou.
This left Li Chengqian and Cheng Yaojin to stay in Chuzhou and stare. After all, if the soldiers even have trouble eating, even if the tens of thousands of elite Zuotun guards arrive in Luoyang, they will face those who are well fed and full of energy.
The rebels may only be able to deliver food.
After deliberation, Li Chengqian also knew very well that he could never just let it go, but sent an envoy as soon as possible.
He rushed to Luoyang, the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, and asked the imperial court why all the grain, grass and baggage were sent to Yunzhou. In addition, he asked the imperial court to quickly organize the military supplies and baggage to be sent, otherwise we brothers would not be finished.
#####
At this moment, the city of Luoyang was almost in chaos. After all, the news that His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had passed away in Jinyang began to spread in the city of Luoyang.
You can imagine the mood of many ministers who are loyal to His Majesty, and after Prince Li Chengqian's share of the Prince's religion was delivered to Luoyang City.
He was directly pressed down by Changsun Wuji, and there was no chance of being handed over to the court for discussion.
Moreover, nowadays, regarding Prince Li Chengqian's wanton killing of innocent people in Yangzhou, those just officials who safeguarded the interests of the people were either imprisoned or beheaded in Yangzhou city.
All in all, under the propaganda and exaggeration of those aristocratic families and ministers with ulterior motives.
The image of His Royal Highness, who was originally gentle and submissive, merciful and loving to the people, has turned into a tyrant similar to the previous Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, comparable to Xia Jie or Shang Zhou.
Moreover, some ministers in the court even cried bitterly during the court meeting. His Majesty's life and death were unknown, and the eldest prince's misbehavior in Jiangnan had already made the situation in Jiangnan very bad.
At this time, the Tang Dynasty needed an emperor to take power and control the situation. At the same time, with an emperor, he could use the name of justice to bring the eldest son of the emperor to justice.
His Royal Highness, Prince Jin, was a very kind and kind prince. He hid his face and cried bitterly, thinking that his father's body was still cold and that he was not the heir to the throne personally designated by his father.
If you rashly accept everyone's support and ascend the throne as emperor, how will you have the face to face the ancestors of the old Li family in the future?
Therefore, I hope that all ministers will stop thinking about this issue and then declare the dissolution of the dynasty.
After all the civil and military officials in the palace left, King Li Zhi of Jin let out a sigh of relief.
At that moment before, Li Zhizhen had the urge to nod his head and agree immediately because he was afraid of long nights and dreams.
But the emotionless look in his uncle's eldest son Sun Wuji finally made Li Zhi give up this tempting idea.
After all, with his uncle's reputation and qualifications, his weight alone is far above that of those aristocratic families.
At this moment, the calm voice of his uncle Sun Wuji rang in his ears.
"Your Highness, please control yourself. This is only the first time. There will be a second and third time."
"Only after the third time can you reluctantly agree."
"Thank you uncle for reminding me. I know what to do next."
Seeing Li Zhi being so obedient, Changsun Wuji felt that his nephew's behavior just now was just the impulsiveness of a young man without any scheming.
After Changsun Wuji said a few more words to Li Zhi, he stood up and said goodbye.
"Well, that's it, Your Highness. I'll take my leave. There are still important matters that need to be dealt with."
Li Zhi respectfully sent Changsun Wuji to the entrance of the hall in person, and saw his uncle leaving the hall and reaching the bottom of the steps.
The civil and military ministers who had left the Zhenguan Palace a long time ago all came forward to salute the powerful minister, and surrounded the Duke of Zhao as he walked towards the palace gate.
Seeing this scene, Li Zhi couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, pursed his thin lips, and stood for a long time before turning around and leaving.
"Wang An."
"My servant is here, what are your orders, Your Highness?" An old eunuch in his fifties quietly stood beside Li Zhi and asked in a low voice.
"Now, I am very close to that position, but from my uncle's eyes, I don't see any respect at all."
"Your Highness..." Wang An suddenly felt something in his heart when he heard this, and subconsciously looked around. Fortunately, at this time, there was no one else waiting in the palace.
"Your Highness, you must be careful. Now, Duke Zhao and those aristocratic families have formed an alliance on the surface, but in fact they are afraid of each other."
"Your Highness, what you need to do most now is to follow Zhao Guogong's instructions. After you ascend to the position of Dabao..."
"I understand. I just hope that he can restrain himself a little in the future. After all, he is my uncle..."
Wang An nodded repeatedly to show his agreement with His Highness's words, but he knew very well in his heart what kind of character this His Highness, whom he had watched since childhood, was.
