72.072: Dark Tide (5)
Li Zhi stopped, stood behind his back, and did not speak again.
Li Xian looked at his father and felt a little uneasy.
Filial piety comes first, no matter what, he doesn't want to make any big moves with his mother. And Li Xian, like all his brothers, is probably used to seeing his mother's resolute and decisive side, so he always has a feeling of respect and awe for his mother.
Li Zhi didn't blame Li Xian for anything, but said lightly: "If you have any difficulties, you can tell your father, if you have no choice, don't screw with your mother." ”
Li Xian nodded, "Thank you father, you understand." ”
Li Zhi looked sideways at Li Xian, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Xian'er, the reason why you are in the position of the prince today is not because you are special and more capable than anyone, but because your surname is Li. It's not up to you to choose what you want to do, and your background is destined for most of the things you will have to carry in this life. ”
Li Xian raised his eyes and looked at his father.
Li Zhi looked at the mountains in the distance, and said slowly: "But what path can you choose to realize your responsibility, you don't have to worry too much about other things, as long as your father is still alive, there is always the ability to clear the obstacles on this road for you." ”
Li Xian was stunned, the questions and inexplicable grievances that had been hidden in his heart in recent days came to his heart, and he wanted to ask his father what if the obstacle on his way was his mother?
Why did my father want to pass on the throne to my mother?
Li Xian's indescribable look fell in Li Zhi's eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
It's not that he doesn't understand Li Xian's heart knot, but when Li Zhi proposed to pass on the throne to Wu Zetian, it was sincere, and what he said to appease Li Xian now is also sincere.
He has respected Wu Zetian for so many years, and he has great trust in Wu Zetian's talent. If it is passed to Wu Zetian, then he is still the emperor, but he will hand over all the political affairs to Wu Zetian to preside, he still has power in his hands, and the husband and wife are one, Li Zhi thinks that it may be better for Wu Zetian to be in power than the crown prince.
It was only later that the minister's opposition reminded him.
The state has a crown prince and does not pass on the throne, but wants to pass the throne to his wife, what kind of truth is this?
What's more, the cause of the death of the former crown prince Li Hong is still a mystery, is his eldest son really died suddenly? If not, then how did he die? Why was only Wu Zetian present when Li Hong died suddenly?
One mystery after another, Li Zhi trusted both Wu Zetian's political talents and her ambitions limited to that.
I was sick and dizzy before, but now that I have eased up, I was also shocked into a cold sweat. Fortunately, the minister stopped his decision in time, otherwise if he was unfortunate enough to take the first step in the future, who would let a person who had already tasted imperial power release the power in his hands in the future?
But no matter what, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian have climbed out of the same trench over the years, more than 20 years of ups and downs, Wu Zetian has indeed put forward many good projects for the country and the people, and for many years, he has been loved by the people of the Quartet, although Li Zhi can't fully trust her in his heart, but he also does not want to take back the power assigned to her.
Li Zhi thought to himself, there could never be any woman like Wu Zetian who held such a special place in his heart.
At this moment, Li Chen came around: "Aya." ”
Li Zhi came back to his senses and smiled with Li Xian: "Xian'er, you are very smart, but there are many things that are more difficult for you now, but you have to calm down." ”
He came all the way from the throne back then, and he had no real power in his hands at the beginning, and the four ministers arranged by his father for him pressed him so that he couldn't move, and he could only point where to fight, and he was like a marionette-like function. But he has been calm since he was a child, and he has been waiting for an opportunity to uproot the forces that threaten the imperial power, until Wu Zetian appeared, and he began to find a breakthrough.
Li Zhi has been an emperor for many years, and he is not untouched by the pursuit of power in the bones of the people next to him. But he thought that his queen was turned upside down, and in the future, she would only be the queen mother who lived in the harem, and she had the power to contain the emperor, but so what? She will also be old and sick, as the queen mother, will she still fight to the death with her own son?
Li Chen listened to his father's words, blinked, looked at his father, and then at his second brother Li Xian, and asked curiously, "What's so difficult?" ”
Li Zhi smiled: "It's nothing, saying that it will be more difficult to choose a good colt for you in the future." ”
Li Chen: "......" Is she so good at fooling?
Li Xian smiled and reached out to rub her little head, diverting the topic: "What are you running around in the mountains?" Don't run around if it's okay, there are many small insects in the mountains, and if you get bitten, it's not good. ”
Li Chen knocked his hand down, resisting the urge to complain, when did the second brother who became the prince start to become a man with a broken mouth?!
It turns out that Li Xian, who became the crown prince, not only became a man with a broken mouth, but he also became a ...... People with special hobbies.
Li Chen ran to the palace where the prince of Jiucheng Palace stayed, and found that Li Xian's palace had a very handsome male attendant, who had no consciousness of being an attendant in his words and deeds, and his eyes were eager to grow to the top of his head.
When Li Chen entered, the male attendant was instructing the two maids to remove the two decorative plants placed in the hall, "Hey, hey, be careful, don't break it, that's a potted plant that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes very much." ”
When he saw Li Chen, he was stunned at first, and then his face was full of smiles, "Meet Princess Yongchang." ”
Obviously a handsome young man, Li Chen inexplicably felt the so-called demonic vixen feeling in others.
A male vixen?
Li Chen was shocked by his rich imagination.
Li Chen didn't have a good impression of the attendant in front of him, frowned and waved his hand, didn't say a word, and motioned for him to be exempt.
The young man raised his eyes and looked at Yongchang, who was only at his shoulder, and said smartly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is discussing political affairs with the officials, if Yongchang wants to wait for His Royal Highness the Prince, I am afraid that it will not be good in two hours." ”
Li Chen has always been disgusted with people who think they are smart, and glanced at him, "I'm here to find the crown princess." ”
The young man was stunned.
Li Chen didn't bother to look at him, turned around and left. However, after taking two steps, she struggled a little inwardly, then turned around, looked at the young man, and asked, "What's your name?" ”
The young man hurriedly replied: "If you go back to the princess, your name is Zhao Daosheng." ”
Zhao Daosheng?
Li Chen raised his eyebrows, didn't go to his heart, and took Shu Zhi to find the current crown princess Fang.
Shu Zhi, who has always acted as a background wall, whispered beside Li Chen: "Zhao Daosheng was given to him by others when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was outside the palace, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been pampering him for more than half a year, and he is unscrupulous in the East Palace of the Prince. ”
Send a man to Lee Hyun?
Li Chen thought about it and was embarrassed. is still the same sentence, these things of dignitaries and nobles are in Chang'an City, even if they don't eat or sleep, they can't finish talking about it in the middle of the last ten days.
Li Chen is not a fool, of course she understands what the intention of others to send a young man to the second brother.
In this year, these dignitaries and nobles, after their exploits, are all popular to hunt for curiosity and excitement, they are really bastards.
Li Chen went to talk to Fang's family, and said as if unintentionally: "I just saw a tall and thin Lang Jun, who is very delicate, and at first glance, his eyebrows seem to be more delicate than the appearance of a little lady. ”
When Fang heard this, he smiled and said, "The person you are talking about is Zhao Daosheng, right?" ”
Li Chen: "Sister-in-law knows?" ”
Fang nodded, but he didn't intend to say more: "I know." ”
Li Chen thought about it, and felt that it was not strange that Fang didn't want to talk about that Zhao Daosheng, but she didn't want to talk about her husband's bastard thing, it was hurtful and sad, why bother?
But when Li Chen thought that the second brother was actually mixed with these people, he suddenly felt that the second brother was in the water?
Now that his relationship with his mother is unprecedentedly strained, and his mother is waiting for the opportunity to pull off his handle, is he so stabbing to hand over his handle?
Li Chen wanted to find fault and be arrogant in front of Li Xian, and trained him to be a bloody sprinkler. But now that Li Xian is gone, Li Chen thinks that he was still thinking about his second brother before, and thinking about how to come up with a strategy to deal with his mother before the conflict between him and his mother is irreconcilable.
But now that she saw it, she thought about it and wanted to help her brother pull it out of the bureau set up by her mother, but the second brother was like a ghost, and was busy handing her handle to her mother.
That Zhao Daosheng is a living example.
The royal family's noble family, the mansion of the wealthy, there are so many unspeakable things in it, and it is not a big deal to have fun.
Li Chen does agree with this statement. But none of them are crown princes.
As a crown prince, virtue is very important.
If Zhao Daosheng's matter comes to his mother, he will definitely have to give the second brother a bad name, and then continue to start investigating. Once a person is going to be investigated by someone else, there must be no trouble.
When Li Chen thought of this, he felt that his brain hurt and panicked.
So on this day, when Li Xian saw Li Chen, he saw her staring and looked very dissatisfied.
Li Xian was stunned for a moment, and then asked with concern: "Why is Yongchang so angry?" ”
Li Chen said: "Zhao Daosheng in your palace is very annoying, he is clumsy to ask him to pour me a cup of tea, my hand was almost burned by him." ”
Li Zhi couldn't react a little.
Li Chen: "I was so angry that I was angry, and in a fit of rage, I asked him to be a rough man." ”
Li Zhi was even more stunned, "Why?" ”
Li Chen wanted to turn over this matter lightly, but after thinking about it, he felt that this matter could not be reversed.
So she got straight to the point and said bluntly: "Brother is greedy for freshness for a while, but if someone wants to impeach you one day, he will directly report to the court that you are addicted to lust and delay business, what will you do?" ”
