Li Zhi's mood suddenly improved a lot, but then he frowned again, looked at Changsun Wuji and asked: "Uncle, Fang Jun was assassinated in Jiangnan... was it someone you sent to do it?"
He had always wanted to find an opportunity to ask Changsun Wuji about this matter, and today was the opportunity.
Changsun Wuji frowned, stroked his beard and asked, "What does this matter have to do with Your Highness?"
Li Zhi was silent for a moment.
This sentence has two meanings. One is, "Whether Fang Jun dies or not, it has nothing to do with you." The other is, "Whether it is my fault or not, it has nothing to do with Your Highness." The two are completely different.
After a moment of silence, Li Zhi considered the words and said slowly: "Before this, I have never had a heart-to-heart communication with my uncle about the matter of competing for the heir. Today, the king wants my uncle to listen to my heart."
Changsun Wuji was a little surprised, but he immediately nodded and said respectfully: "Your Highness, please speak. I am listening attentively."
Li Zhi took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then said: "The reason why I am fighting for the throne is because I feel that if I become the emperor in the future, I will do a better job than the prince brother, and my father is also right.
With this intention, the time, place and people are favorable, so I have this extravagant hope. However,"
Having said this, he paused, looked directly at Changsun Wuji, and said slowly: "This throne belongs to my father, and I am my father's son, so I am qualified to fight for it. But I have
The bottom line is that it has turned the court situation upside down, shaken the foundation of the country, and even caused the good situation that my father has worked hard and worked hard for since he came to the throne to be in vain. I will never do it. Fang Jun is an important minister of the country, and his contribution to the country, regardless of
Whatever happens in the future, we must not use such despicable and dirty methods to harm anyone. Otherwise, if we kill Fang Jun today, will we kill the British Duke tomorrow and the prince the next day?"
Changsun Wuji remained silent.
Li Zhi straightened his back, his eyes were blazing, and his delicate face was quite impressive: "This belongs to the father of Jiangshan City. Everything I do is to make my father recognize my abilities. I am willing to do so."
The purpose of passing the throne to this king is not to seize the position of heir to the empire through some unscrupulous means. There is another point, please do not know, uncle, whether it is now or in the future, even after this king ascends the throne, the prince will also
Well, no matter the king of Wei, or even the king of Wu and the king of Qi, these king's brothers, they will not be allowed to have the slightest accident under any circumstances. This is the king's bottom line. If my uncle can accept it, please
Give me a helping hand, and you will be able to dominate the country and share the wealth in the future. If you are unable to do so, I will immediately explain to your father that in this life, I will never have any desire to compete for the throne again!"
The words were spoken in a sonorous and resounding tone.
His Royal Highness the King of Jin is also proud. His fight for the throne is certainly driven by ambition, but since he has the support of his father, it is justifiable. Who can care less about the supreme power of holding the sun and moon in his hand and controlling the country?
But if you fight for the throne with a frenzied attitude, even if you finally get your wish and ascend to the throne of the emperor, you will still be unable to defeat the historian's sword and pen, leaving an eternal infamy in the history.
Just look at your father and you will know that even though he rules the world, once he is infamy, he will never be able to get rid of it. Even if he can silence everyone, how can he erase this stain in history?
Their father often taught their brothers that only by working together can they break through gold. Nothing in the world is more important than having brothers and sisters, because once a critical moment comes, money and power cannot be relied on, and no one else can be trusted in the two generations. Only your brothers and sisters can step forward.
.
This is the painful experience that his father extracted from his own experience, and Li Zhi deeply agrees...
Changsun Wuji was stunned for a long time. He really didn't expect Li Zhi to say such words.
Is this child innocent or stupid?
Political struggles are inherently bloody, and the fight for the reserve is even more life-and-death. This road to the sky is narrow and narrow, and only one person can pass it. No matter what difficulties and obstacles are along the way, he must either completely conquer them or kick them off the cliff. There is nothing wrong with being humble.
room?
What's more, you are going against the odds and are more than one position behind others. You must remove the obstacles that stand in your way. How can you reach the top and dominate the world?
Simply childish!
However, despite being naive, he does have some opinions.
Of course, Changsun Wuji absolutely does not want to see these ideas, but now he cannot simply and crudely fix them. He must stabilize the King of Jin first, and wait until the fight for the throne is successful, and he will achieve great things in the future, both in the government and the military.
Under his control, how could he allow this yellow-mouthed boy to take care of his so-called brotherhood?
Whether it is the prince, the king of Wei or the king of Wu, as long as he can threaten the throne or the interests of the Guanlong nobles, there will only be one end.
Changsun Wuji pondered for a long time, and then said with emotion: "His Royal Highness has a kindhearted heart, which is really rare in the world. Throughout the ages, every time a crown prince was established, abolished, or changed the throne in the past dynasties, it was always accompanied by undercurrents and bloody storms.
Who of us has reached the pinnacle of our achievements by walking on a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood? I am really lucky to be able to assist such a benevolent Lord as His Highness. I promise you that from now on, we will never use similar privacy methods again.
I will fight for the crown prince, and when I succeed, I will also treat all your Majesty's princes well, so that they will be praised by the world, be famous in history, and be famous for generations to come!"
"That's how it should be!"
When Li Zhi saw Changsun Wuji agreeing, he immediately felt relieved. He put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "The battle for the throne has been upright since then. I have the favor of my father and the support of my uncle. Even though it is difficult now, I can still do it."
As long as you persist, you will eventually get what you want."
Changsun Wuji sneered in his heart, but his face was kind and kind: "I will obey His Highness's instructions."
*****
His Royal Highness the Prince is in charge of the Sixth Command of the East Palace. As soon as the news came out, the court was shocked.
The most important reason why the prince is the crown prince, different from other princes, is that the East Palace has its own "pocket version" of the operating system of the court system to help the prince handle government affairs and hone the prince's abilities.
Among them, there are naturally the ten commanders who represent the armed forces, which are similar to the sixteen imperial guards. Apart from the four commanders who are not in charge of soldiers, the remaining "six commanders of the East Palace" are the prince's armed forces. In name, they are the prince's military team.
Of course, they had to obey the prince's orders, but in fact, before the emperor became old and weak, and before the imperial power was gradually transferred, this part of the force had to be in the hands of the emperor.
The emperor is the master of a country and the supreme commander of the world's military. How can he allow the East Palace to control this part of the military force that is outside the imperial power?
There is no room for others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch.
However, now, at a time when the dispute over the reserve position is raging and it is still unknown who belongs to it, the emperor has returned all the command of the Sixth Army in the East Palace to the prince. The meaning contained in this is inevitably shocking and puzzling.
You are the one who canonized the crown prince, you are the one who instigated the fight for the crown prince, you are the one who assigned the sixth rank of the East Palace to the prince, and you are the one who almost recognized the crown prince as the crown prince...
All civil and military officials in the court were at a loss at this moment. They wanted to run to His Majesty Li Er and ask: Your Majesty, what exactly do you want to cause trouble?
…
Different from the uproar in the government and the public, in the past six months, Prince Jing's Mansion has been quiet and has always stayed away from various whirlpools. His Highness Prince Jing, who used to be in the limelight, has also been very low-key recently.
In the flower hall, the ground was burning with hot earth dragons. Even though the snow was falling outside and the cold wind was biting, Li Yuanjing just casually wore a robe with his arms open, his face flushed after strenuous exercise, and he drank heavily.
Warm tea.
There is this moist and debauched atmosphere in the air.
Next to her, Dong Mingyue, who was wearing a moon-white palace dress, was flushed. She tied the silk ribbon around her waist and straightened her wrinkled clothes. She glared at Li Yuanjing dissatisfiedly with a pair of watery eyes, slightly angry.
She said coquettishly: "Your Highness is really ridiculous. If someone sees it, will the slave family still live?"
"Ha, I, the king, and his wife are paying homage to each other. This is the principle of heaven and earth. We must work hard for reproduction. How dare you make such random noises if you don't like your longevity?"
Li Yuanjing laughed loudly, stretched out his hand to hold a snow-white hand, pulled the whole soft and boneless body into his arms, and hugged her tightly.
For a moment, the two of them looked at each other, lovingly.
Snow is falling heavily outside the window.
After enjoying the leisurely comfort after the clouds and rain, Li Yuanjing rubbed Dong Mingyue's round shoulders and stared at the falling snowflakes outside the window. He was a little dazed. After a long time, he frowned and said: "Tell me, what do you think, His Majesty?"
"
Dong Mingyue curled up in Li Yuanjing's arms like a cat, stretched out her hand to stroke his beard, and asked casually: "Is it really the prince who went to the Dragon Palace to ask for the command of the Sixth Army of the East Palace from His Majesty?"
Li Yuanjing hummed: "Of course I have news from the palace, it's absolutely true."
From a very early age, he began to lay out the plans in the palace. Although there has not been much progress until now, it is not difficult to know the emperor's every move.
