Listening to the people on the street praising him, Li Tai felt happy in his heart, but his face still looked indignant. He pointed at Xiao Yu: "However, how can such traitors frame me like this and not be recognized by the world as being ordered by the King of Jin?"
?After all, I have been splashed with dirty water, and I cannot become the crown prince. The one who benefits the most is King Jin... Everyone, these villains are doing it for their own selfish purposes, and King Jin has to be ridiculed by the world for his duplicity and insidiousness.
Shit, you are saying words of awe-inspiring justice and unparalleled filial piety, but secretly you are doing things to frame your brother... Now the reputation of King Jin has been ruined, and it is all the fault of such traitors!"
Pedestrians on the street looked at each other in confusion, not knowing that there was actually such an open and secret fight in the court, but they looked in high spirits and pricked up their ears to hear the truth.
The Chinese people's habit of joining in the fun is a gift from heaven. It has never been like this throughout the ages...
Xiao Yu's face had darkened. Even though he had gone through two dynasties and his heart was as solid as stone, he was still angry and anxious at this moment.
At this time, the pedestrians blocked on the street were all neighbors, and how could the people who were adjacent to the Duke of Song Dynasty be ordinary merchants? Almost all of them were officials and relatives of the imperial court. If Li Tai was allowed to speak nonsense here,
The impact is extremely serious.
Your Majesty is easy to transfer. There is a high probability that the new heir will choose one of the kings of Wei and Jin. However, no matter what the choice is, your majesty must have complete control and comprehensive consideration. He will never allow others to intervene or interfere, let alone such a choice.
A powerful minister like himself assisted one of the princes and used various conspiracies to frame and suppress the other prince.
Even if the minister must rely on one of the two princes for his own interests, this is inevitable, but it cannot be brought to the table in a big way, thus affecting His Majesty's judgment.
The reason why he complained that the King of Jin should not come to the door in person was for this reason...
He quickly cupped his hands and said: "His Highness reprimanded the old minister, and the old minister was all ears. But please invite Your Highness to come and take a seat in the house, so as not to have too many eyes and ears here, and spread it out and damage His Highness's reputation."
You are a prince, your highness, and one of the candidates for the throne. Are you not afraid of being considered "harsh, narrow-minded" and "without grace" by openly admonishing a highly respected veteran?
"Ho!"
Li Tai came well prepared, sneered twice, and stood motionless in front of the door, but became louder and louder: "Nowadays, there are countless people in the court who have harmed my reputation. They have confounded right and wrong and slandered me. How can I have a good reputation? We will not distinguish between us today."
I’m just going to explain the difference between respect and inferiority here, and let the neighbors testify and comment on the merits!”
The old fox's words are full of lies, what does "order" mean? If he really enters his house, I don't know how this old thief will spread rumors that I came to pick a fight. Humph, I will have a heated argument in front of your door.
, see who others believe!
When Xiao Yu saw Li Tai being so generous, he suddenly had a headache. He had not calculated that his plan to slander Li Tai would not only make him unable to dismount, but also lead to Li Tai blocking the door directly...
In the officialdom, there are many rules. It doesn't matter if you suffer a loss for a while, but you must stabilize your position and stop the loss in time. You cannot bring all the fighting methods behind you to the table. Otherwise, you will still be embarrassed. But who would have thought that Li Tai doesn't care at all.
These rules directly flipped the table?
After all, Li Tai is the king, and he, Xiao Yu, is the minister. Li Tai can stand in front of the door and block the street and yell, but he can only hold his nose and listen.
And once the news reaches your majesty, how can your majesty not worry about the secret alliance between King Jin and Xiao Yu? What kind of threat will it pose to the prince and King Wei?
It seems that Li Tai is messing around, but in fact he hits the key points, and in one fell swoop he reverses the backward situation caused by impeachment and slander.
This is a talent...
Seeing Xiao Yu's face was dark and silent, Li Tai knew that Fang Jun's trick was indeed effective, so he was naturally confident and said angrily: "Our princes are all the heirs of our father. Who the father appoints as the crown prince is a family matter."
, my brothers are still friendly and affectionate as usual, but you, the Duke of Song Dynasty, are plotting and interfering with your tricks. Is it because the pheasant slave is young, shallow and ignorant, which is easy for you and others to confuse and kidnap, so he wants to imitate Huo Guang, Liang Ji and others to control the government and fool them.
Young Master, do you want to be a powerful minister who can dominate the world with one hand?"
Pedestrians on the street covered their mouths in fear, their ears stood up, and their eyes brightened. This was a big event!
Being able to live next to the Duke of Song Dynasty, even if he is not an official, he is also a wealthy man, and he is all well-educated. Naturally, he knows powerful ministers like Huo Guang and Liang Ji. Is it possible that the Duke of Song really has this ambition and wants to turn His Highness the King of Jin into a puppet in order to achieve overwhelming power?
The purpose of the world?
Many people even exclaimed in surprise, looking at Xiao Yu and pointing...
This is so heartbreaking!
Xiao Yu's lungs were about to burst with anger. Since His Majesty is easy to store, the courtiers will choose sides. This is inevitable. Your Majesty obviously acquiesced. As for who is right or wrong in the end, it is fate. But Li Tai is so
As soon as he shouted, he was immediately put into a position of "interfering with the ownership of the reserve"!
Ministers can choose different princes to support according to their own interests, but who will be the throne can only be decided by His Majesty Gan Gang!
If you are allowed to be manipulated by powerful ministers, where will your Majesty be placed?
A foolish king under duress?
Furthermore, Huo Guang was the orphan of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty when he was dying, and he came to the throne at the age of eight. When Liang Ji exercised power, Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty died, and Emperor Chong was only two years old when he ascended the throne. After that, he supported Emperor Zhi of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty.
They are both young... Now that His Majesty is in his prime, and the King of Jin is already married, how can he imitate Huo Guang and Liang Ji even if he is Xiao Yu's great ability?
But the emperor is the most jealous. Such words that are close to spitting sound nonsense, but they point directly at the imperial power. Who knows what your majesty will think after hearing this!
Gu Gua/span Xiao Yu held his breath, with a cold face, and waved his sleeves and said: "Your Highness is making irresponsible remarks and confusing right and wrong. It is really out of character! It is already late at this time, so I will not stay with Your Highness, so I will send you off respectfully."
I can't afford to offend you, but I can't afford to hide from you? Get out of here...
Li Tai blinked his eyes and saw that although Xiao Yu was only in regular clothes, he was very neat. Even the crown on his head was neat and tidy... Who would be so strict and tidy at home among ordinary people?
There is a guest in the house...
So, Li Tai straightened his clothes and looked inside the palace door: "I've talked too much today, and I'm a little thirsty. Why don't I go to the door and ask for a glass of water? I'm sure Song Guogong won't refuse, right?"
Xiao Yu was startled. King Jin was in the study at the moment. If Li Tai was allowed to go in and bump into him, wouldn't it make the trouble worse?
Although the King of Jin's visit to the house is full of thoughtful people, finding out afterwards is completely different from confronting him in person...
He said hurriedly: "His Royal Highness has a golden body and golden branches and leaves. It is difficult to ensure safety after midnight. How about returning home first and the old ministers will host a banquet for Your Highness tomorrow?"
Li Tai became more and more certain that there was someone hiding in the house, maybe it was that boy from Pheasant Nu...
He smiled and stood motionless at the door: "What the Duke of Song said is wrong. Although I am noble, I am not a man inlaid with gold and jade. Why are there so many people who are unfavorable to me? This is the Tang Dynasty inside and outside Chang'an, and it is definitely not the case.
There are those ruthless thieves who are plotting evil."
Xiao Yu's beard moved and he was very angry.
What does "a thief with a bad heart and a bad heart" mean? How can you curse someone?
But he really didn't dare to let Li Tai enter the palace, so he had to stand at the door and refused to give way, and tactfully dissuaded him: "Your Highness is extremely intelligent, and none of your Majesty's disciples are as good as him. However, the reason why he has been slandered and criticized by the government and the public this time is because he is usually aggressive.
If you don't give in even half a step, you should be more mellow in your behavior and understand the principle of taking appropriate steps back. Otherwise, you will be tit-for-tat with each other and there will be no change, so why bother."
This is already a clear statement: smart people do smart things, but don’t tell the truth. Once the truth is revealed, no one has any way out, and they can only hit the same head and cause bloodshed...
Li Tai squinted his eyes, looked at Xiao Yu with a smile, and said slowly: "Song Guogong is indeed well versed in the ways of the world, but there are so many people in this world who say one thing and do another, and what is even more disgusting is that they are lenient to themselves and harsh to others.
Yiluren, what do you think?"
I can take a step back and we won't have a direct conflict, but I can't take a step back and you have to push further, right?
Xiao Yu thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "Your Highness is very true to what he said."
Since Li Tai blocked the door and yelled at the street today, if the trouble continues, it will be very detrimental to himself, the entire Jiangnan noble family, and even the King of Jin. Besides, all the previous plans have made it difficult to get off the tiger, so we might as well take a step back.
, which eased the situation slightly, and slowly figured it out.
More haste less speed……
A smile broke out on Li Tai's face, he stepped forward and took Xiao Yu's hand affectionately, sighing and saying: "When I was young, I admired your literary talent, grace and elegance, Duke Guo of Song Dynasty. I often watched your behavior, words and deeds and imitated them.
The empire is strong now, but the battle for the reserve is turbulent. You must stand firm, and don't let this king down if you lose your security at the end of the day."
Xiao Yu's eyelids twitched, and he replied with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I have lived a long time, and I no longer take pleasure in things, nor feel sorrow for myself. I have long seen through the things of fame and wealth, and I only look forward to my lifetime."
If you can support the throne prince, you will die without regrets."
"Ha ha."
Li Tai smiled and nodded repeatedly: "That's good, that's good... Since the Duke of Song does not welcome this uninvited guest, I will not dislike it, so I will leave now."
Today's killing is coming, and the harvest is quite rich. It is not easy to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, but it is necessary to stop when it is good.
Xiao Yu had nothing to lose. Although he had to stop impeaching and slandering Li Tai, it also bought King Jin time.
Then he smiled and sent Li Tai down the steps, bowed and watched him board the car and drive away. Then he sighed, returned to his house, ordered his servants to close the front door, and rushed to the study.
In the past two years, I have become more and more aware that His Majesty's disciples are not simple. Dealing with them requires more and more energy, otherwise if you are not careful, you will suffer a big loss...
In the study, Li Zhi was waiting anxiously. When he saw Xiao Yu returning, he quickly asked: "How is the situation? Could it be that the Qingques knew that I was here and came here deliberately?"
Xiao Yu shook his head, and after sitting down, he said in a deep voice: "It is not appropriate for Your Highness to take any action after returning home these days. Once there is news from the navy, I will immediately go to the palace to ask for His Majesty's instructions, and settle in Da Ci'en Temple to work with the Crown Prince for Wende."
