Faced with Li Zhi's unreasonable behavior, Changsun Wuji was anxious, angry and anxious, but he could only suppress the anger in his heart and try his best to persuade him.
But Li Zhi was determined, waved his hand, and said decisively: "Uncle, there is no need to say more. If my father gave me the position of crown prince, I would naturally want it. But since my father didn't give it to me, I absolutely cannot compete with the prince's brother.
! Although I am not as virtuous as Kong Wenju, how can I imitate the violent behavior of Qin II? I have made up my mind, and there is no need to persuade me."
Kong Rong had a rare reputation as a virtuous man, but his deeds of pear were praised all over the world and his fame lasted for generations. In order to ascend to the throne, the second generation of Qin Dynasty first forged an imperial edict to kill his brother to steal the throne, and then massacred his brothers and sisters. In the end, the country was destroyed and the clan was annihilated, leaving a legacy of infamy for thousands of years.
…
Changsun Wuji felt dizzy for a while. He couldn't tell whether Li Zhi was retreating in order to advance, taking the opportunity to demand more autonomy and power, or whether he really didn't want to fight against each other and fight against each other. Is this kid so noble? He
Never noticed it.
But now looking at Li Zhi with a determined look on his face, Changsun Wuji was really helpless.
You can't just tie him up and sit on the throne of prince, and then ascend the throne as emperor in the future, right?
Anger rose in his heart. He glared at Li Zhi and said in a cold voice: "Your Highness is smart and has extraordinary knowledge. You should know the consequences of today's decision, right? I have done my duty faithfully, but I really don't want to see Your Highness go astray and end up without a good end."
"
This is a naked threat.
Li Zhi, however, was different from his usual vigilance and tact, and said calmly: "My uncle is joking, no matter whether the prince's brother ascends the throne, or another brother succeeds, my brothers love each other, and brothers and sisters respect each other. How can we not have this?"
What is the way for me to survive? Of course, if my uncle is unwilling to accept it and wants to steal the treasure, then as a slave of the subjugated country and a criminal official of Li Tang, I will naturally have no face to live. I should follow my father under the Nine Springs and stand before his knees.
To atone for his sins.”
Changsun Wuji's face was so gloomy that he could drip water, and he snorted coldly: "Your Highness does not know how to praise me, and I have nothing to say. I just hope that one day, I will not blame me!"
After saying that, he ignored this bastard, turned around and walked away.
Li Zhi sat there blankly until Changsun Wuji had left for a long time, and then he took a long breath and collapsed on the chair. Then he thought of his father, the emperor's personal expedition, but ended up like this, and he couldn't help but feel sad.
He covered his face with his hands and sobbed.
Wearing a ring and a jingle, Princess Jin quickly walked out of the back hall, her beautiful face full of anxiety and complaints. She came to Li Zhi and said quickly: "Is your highness crazy? Today, the Hecheng rebels entered the city.
The purpose of the military admonishment is to promote His Highness to the throne, and Zhao Guogong even came to the palace in person to invite His Highness to ascend the throne. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how can Your Highness refuse it?"
She heard the conversation between Li Zhi and Changsun Wuji very clearly in the back hall. When she saw Li Zhi's strong refusal, she almost jumped out of the house in anxiety!
This is the position of a Crown Prince, and His Majesty has passed away. Today's Crown Prince will be tomorrow's Emperor. Everyone would be overjoyed to have such a God-given opportunity to teach, but Li Zhi actually refused... She was almost going crazy.
Already.
Li Zhi didn't want to cry in front of a woman, so he wiped his tears, raised his head and stared at Princess Jin for a while, until he saw Princess Jin and felt his heart tremble, then he slowly said: "A woman's opinion!"
Although Princess Jin was usually frightened and afraid of Li Zhi, at this moment, after all, it was a big matter, so she dared to argue: "I am indeed ignorant, but I know that such good things are hard to find in the world. Your Highness has always hoped that
Can you replace the prince and become the heir to the empire? Why do you ignore the opportunity now? Don't say anything that your majesty won't give it to you. Those words can be used to prevaricate Duke Zhao, but they can't be used to prevaricate my concubine!"
Li Zhi was a little embarrassed.
As a husband and wife, sleeping together in the same bed, they know each other's temperament best, and they know each other's behavior style very well. Princess Jin never thought that Li Zhi had the kind of brother-in-law temperament, otherwise she would treat everyone as a prince.
How can a brother be so generous as to compete with the prince for the throne?
The reason why he rejected Changsun Wuji was either because he was out of his mind or because of other reasons.
But in her opinion, no matter what the reason, one should first get the reserve position, and then ascend to the throne of God. So what if she is kidnapped by the Guanlong Clan? His Majesty also made a promise back then, and then he got the full support of the Guanlong Clan.
In the end, he went against it and conquered the world. But in the end, didn't he single-handedly suppress Guanlongmen? It's a pity that His Majesty has passed away. Otherwise, in another ten or eight years, Guanlongmen will be suppressed and never come back.
The power in the early years of Zhenguan.
King Jin can definitely imitate His Majesty. After all, the chance to ascend to the throne is fleeting...
Li Zhi could only shake his head and said in a deep voice: "The prince's succession to the throne is legitimate and the government will transition smoothly. Even if there is a small rebellion at the moment, it is of no importance and will not subvert the country and change the situation. But what if?
I am relying on the Guanlong clan to seize the throne, and I am bound to fight Wu Ming. In order to secure my position, I have to raise the butcher knife and eradicate dissidents. Just for my own selfish desires, I have to kill my brothers and sisters, how can I bear it?
Not for it.”
Princess Jin was angry and anxious, and was about to say more, but Li Zhi shouted impatiently: "You women, how dare you talk nonsense about state affairs? Get out of here quickly and don't bother me!"
"snort!"
Princess Jin was so angry that she burst into tears, stamped her feet, and ran back to the back hall whimpering.
Li Zhi sat alone in the large study room, rubbing his swollen temples, thinking about Changsun Wuji's words in his heart.
Indeed, now that the rebels are entering the city and besieging Taiji Palace, the Sixth Army of the East Palace can only defend, but have no ability to counterattack. The situation is completely on the side of the Guanlong clan. If one of the left and right guards outside Xuanwu Gate counterattacks and captures Xuanwu Gate,
Then the Sixth Army of the East Palace had no choice but to be annihilated.
The general trend lies in the hands of Guanlongmen Valve.
However, Li Zhi always felt that things would not be so simple. It was about the ownership of the reserve and the inheritance of the throne. How could it be so smooth?
Changes are bound to happen, but Li Zhi can't guess where they will happen. But no matter what, how dare he be so rashly hijacked by the Guanlong clan, thinking that the position of emperor will be easily obtained?
Once he sets foot on this road, there is no turning back, so he must be cautious and cautious. Even if he misses this God-given opportunity, he will never step into despair and never turn around again.
Next, we have to look at Brother Qingque...
*****
Coming out of Prince Jin's Mansion, Changsun Wuji stood on the stone steps in front of the mansion, looking up at the falling snow. Groups of rebels from various Long families passed by the gate and ran towards the Tai Chi Palace.
Fires ignited from the inner square, lighting up half of the night sky, making the snowflakes falling in the sky more clearly visible.
The descendants of the Longmen clan who came with him came forward and asked respectfully: "Mr. Zhao Guo, how do you respond to His Majesty the King of Jin?"
Changsun Wuji did not answer, but glanced at the firelight in the distance that reflected the red night sky, and said calmly: "When the rebels enter the city, they must obey the law and abide by the law. We are obeying the destiny and carrying out military remonstrances, not treason! If you pass on the order, if someone starts a fire
Robbery, robbery, no matter who they belong to or what their status is, they will be killed without mercy!"
"Here!"
The Guanlong disciple felt a chill in his heart and quickly agreed, but then asked: "When can His Highness King Jin leave the palace?"
The purpose of this military remonstrance was to depose the East Palace and help the Jin King ascend to the throne. This is where the great righteousness lies. At present, the Sixth Army of the East Palace is resisting tenaciously in the Taiji Palace. The rebels have launched multiple charges and failed to reach the top of the city, let alone break the city.
Door. These slaves, servants, common people, and soldiers are simply a ragtag army. It would be better if the battle goes smoothly. Since it has been stubbornly blocked by the Sixth Army of the East Palace, morale is naturally low. It is urgent for the King of Jin to stand up and cheer up and let everyone know.
Since the power of the dragon is right in front of you, you can risk your life and move forward bravely.
However, Changsun Wuji avoided answering. He stood on the stone steps and looked at the snow for a while, then walked down the stone steps, boarded the carriage, and said lightly: "Go to Furong Garden, Prince Wei's Mansion."
Then, he gave another warning: "Send people to guard the Jin Prince's Mansion so that the rebels cannot rush into the Prince's Mansion. However, no one in the Prince's Mansion is allowed to leave the Mansion. Anyone who dares to force their way in will be killed without mercy!"
Several Guanlong disciples looked confused. They turned back to look at the gate of Prince Jin's Mansion, and then looked at Changsun Wuji's carriage that had already set off. They didn't know what was going on.
Is this putting King Jin under house arrest?
Since you want to support the King of Jin to ascend the throne, why go to the Palace of the King of Wei? They are just setting up a puppet to facilitate the Guanlong families to seize power in the military formation. Compared with those who are younger, have less experience, and have a relatively weak temperament,
King Jin and King Li Tai of Wei were also not easy to control.
Could it be that something went wrong on King Jin's side?
Everyone looked at each other, and their hearts trembled suddenly. All in the name of supporting King Jin to ascend the throne. If something went wrong on King Jin's side, then what the Guanlong families did today was no longer "military advice", but
It's a true "rebellion"...that would cause big trouble!
