According to the current situation, the ministers can think of the situation in the court, which is nothing more than such a situation, either Li Linfu died of illness and Yang Guozhong became the head of the ministers, or, the emperor also died of illness, the prince ascended the throne, Yang Guozhong was in a different place, or the emperor could hold on for a while longer, and in these days, Yang Guozhong's group framed the prince through various means, and the concubine blew the pillow wind, forcing the emperor to abolish the prince, so as to choose another prince as the prince, and this prince must be because Yang Guozhong once supported him, In exchange, Yang Guozhong became the head of the ministers.

That is to say, in these three cases, Yang Guozhong will become the head of the ministers in two cases, and only in one case, he will become a ghost under the sword, and the odds of winning seem to be relatively large.

Of course, there may be more than these three realities, and there are many uncertain factors, but because they are unpredictable, they are not considered.

"Li Shilang, do you know Your Majesty's situation?"

A minister walked up to Ang Lee's side and asked.

In the minds of many ministers, although Ang Lee doesn't like to deal with the affairs of the court, he is also a very powerful figure, inventing too much technology that surprises them, and at the same time, he has also established a tall image for Ang Lee.

Therefore, when many officials think of Ang Lee, the first thing that comes to mind is a very powerful character, and they will have the illusion that Ang Lee is omnipotent, and this time the emperor suddenly felt unwell, and they naturally thought of asking Ang Lee.

"Didn't the Imperial Doctor say that? Your Majesty is fine, presumably there is no big problem! ”

Li An didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he could only follow what the imperial doctor said.

"Since Your Majesty is fine, why don't you see anyone? At the very least, we should explain who will preside over the major affairs of the DPRK and China! ”

Li An thought for a while, saw Yang Guozhong not far away, and said: "Yang Yushi may know some information, you go to Yang Yushi and ask!" ”

Li An was not very clear about the emperor's situation, and he didn't want to speculate, so he threw the problem to Yang Guozhong.

"Yang Yushi, what is the situation of Your Majesty, you don't know how old you are?"

A minister shook his head when he saw Yang Guozhong and asked again.

Yang Guozhong continued to shake his head and said: "Your Majesty has not seen anyone, how can I know Your Majesty's situation, to be honest, I am very worried in my heart!" ”

"The concubine serves by His Majesty's side all day, and the concubine should know Your Majesty's situation?"

A minister reminded.

Yang Guozhong said angrily: "This official is the minister of the court, how can he go to the back to see the concubine at will, wait!" It's only been four or five days, and Your Majesty may just be tired and want to rest more. ”

Seeing that Yang Guozhong's expression didn't look like a lie, the ministers next to him couldn't say anything, they lowered their heads and stopped talking, and Yang Guozhong was waiting for news from the three sisters, after going back today, perhaps, he would be able to know what was going on with the emperor.

However, Yang Guozhong can wait one more day, but some people can't wait, the emperor's eldest son Li Brown and the emperor's sixteenth character Li Xuan, emotionally instigated several brothers and brothers, asking to see the emperor today, and many princes are also full of suspicions, naturally expressed support, and felt that what they said made sense, in case the emperor was controlled, it would be okay.

The crown prince wanted to object, but all the princes were emotional, and he couldn't clearly oppose it, so he could only acquiesce silently.

"King Qing, Your Majesty is resting."

Li Brown was the first to step forward and was stopped by a little eunuch.

"Smack...... Dog minion, get out of the way of this king. ”

Because he was just a very ordinary little eunuch, Li Brown naturally didn't care, even if he was beaten, it didn't matter, the emperor couldn't cure his son for his big crime because he beat his little eunuch, and his behavior seemed to be a piece of filial piety.

The little eunuch was beaten, so he naturally didn't dare to continue to stop it, so he had to cover his face and stand aside, letting King Tan and his party break through their own defense line domineeringly.

The prince was supposed to be at the forefront, but because the prince was not very supportive of forcibly breaking into the palace, he could only follow the back of King Tan, but he became a follower, but at the same time, it can also be understood as leading the way, so he will not lose his identity.

The ministers also wanted to know what happened to the emperor, seeing that the prince forcibly broke into the palace, they were naturally not to be outdone, and followed almost without thinking, so many important ministers, even if the emperor was unhappy, he could kill them all.

Li An has never been to the emperor's bedroom, but this time he went in with him, but he could see for a long time, and it was also very good to see the furnishings of the emperor's bedroom.

"Your Majesty, the princes have broken in, do you want the old slave to ......?"

Gao Lishi saw that King Tan had beaten the little eunuch and spoke

Li Longji leaned on the couch, feeling that his body was still a little tired, but it was much better than a few days ago, he waved his hand and said softly: "No need, let them come in if they want to!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Gao Lishi stretched out his hand and asked most of the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting to retreat, leaving only a few people to serve the emperor by the bedside.

"Guifei, you should also retreat to the back!"

The emperor's concubines, under normal circumstances, are not suitable to meet outsiders.

"Father, Father......"

Before the people arrived at the dormitory, the voices of several princes had already come in, and it was an emotional voice.

"Father, Father......"

After entering the palace and seeing the emperor, all the princes saw that the emperor looked very bad, and they all knelt down to say goodbye.

"Your Majesty......"

The ministers who followed closely after, after seeing the emperor, also knelt on the ground to say goodbye, their expressions all had the meaning of weeping, and none of them raised their heads, all bowed their heads and bowed.

Li Longji tilted his head slightly, looked at King Tan and the others who took the lead, and then looked at the ministers behind him, and said softly: "Don't kneel, get up!" ”

The voice was soft and elegant, and it didn't seem to be too powerful, obviously because he was sick.

The princes and ministers couldn't see what illness the emperor had, but they felt that they were indeed a little weak, and after getting up, they were all thinking about what kind of illness the emperor had, only Li An looked around, admired the furnishings of the emperor's bedroom, and felt that there was nothing special about it, it was slightly larger than the residence of ordinary people.

"King Tan, did I let you in?"

Li Longji said in a not very happy tone.

Li Brown, the king of Tan, who had just gotten up, hurriedly knelt down and said: "Father, the son-in-law is also worried about you, so he made this decision, and when he saw that his father was fine, the son-in-law was relieved." ”

The tone is full of concern and filial piety, and the acting skills are great.

"Worry about me, worry about what I am, will I still be held hostage by the people around me, is it a concubine or a general."

Li Longji said unhappily.

"Father, brother is also filial piety, and I ask my father to forgive me."

Li Yan opened his mouth to plead.

"Father forgives the emperor, the sons are really worried about you."

More princes pleaded.

"I'm fine, it's rare for the emperors to be so filial, I won't pursue it, you all go down!"

Li Longji drove the princes away first, thought for a while, and added: "The prince stays." ”

Seeing that the emperor only left the crown prince, the hearts of Li Palm, the king of Tan, and many princes chuckled, which obviously valued the prince's posture, so it naturally made them vigilant.

Although, the crown prince is the most promising candidate to inherit the throne, but over the years, the first prince was given death, and the current prince was also angry everywhere, and he was almost abolished several times, so the prestige of the prince is naturally insufficient, and the prestige of the prince is insufficient, and the prince below will naturally not be so honest, everyone is the emperor's biological son, why can you inherit the throne, I can't.

Among all the princes, the most unbalanced mentality is the emperor's eldest son Li Qi, after all, he and the current prince are both concubines, and he is the eldest brother, and his ability is not worse than the current prince, why didn't the emperor's father choose him as the prince, and leave the prince's position to his younger brother? This made his heart very unbalanced, and he couldn't figure it out, and even, a little hateful.

If you want to say why the emperor didn't choose the eldest son, but chose the third son as the crown prince, it is estimated that only the emperor himself knows in his heart, he probably just doesn't want to make a prince, so as not to cultivate a person who threatens his position, and the opinion he told the courtiers is that the eldest son has a scar on his face, that is, he is not good looking, and he does not have the majesty that the son of heaven should have.

In ancient times, when there was no plastic surgery technology, it was difficult to treat a scar on the face, and a scar on a person's body was bound to accompany a person for a lifetime.

The scars on the torso and limbs can also be covered, and it doesn't matter much as a man, but the face is different, the face is the most important recognition organ for a person, a person's face is the most important, ordinary people have injuries on their faces and are indecent, and as the emperor of a country, if there are scars on the face, it will affect the image of a country, which can indeed be used as a seemingly reasonable reason.

Moreover, since the founding of the Tang Empire, it has experienced so many emperors, but none of the emperors are the eldest son to inherit the throne, the first prince Li Jiancheng was killed by his second brother, and the next emperor is Li Shimin's ninth son Li Zhi, and then Li Zhi's third son Li Xian and fourth son Li Dan, and a Wu Zetian, and then Li Dan's third son Li Longji inherited the throne.

It is true that none of the four or five generations in a row has been the eldest son to inherit the throne, so it has become very unimportant whether the crown prince is the eldest son or not, and no one cares about this anymore.

Since ancient times, the succession to the throne has been orderly for the young and the young, which is the most stable, and the abolition of the long and the young will always be the way to take chaos, which can easily cause chaos in an empire, and every bloody incident of the Tang Dynasty inheriting the throne has not also proved this.

However, because the second emperor made a very bad start, the descendants of the future can only follow suit, and they can't change if they want to.

Of course, what Emperor Li Er did was also forced by his own father, and his father Li Yuan, for his own rule, was to curry favor with both ends and suppress at both ends, not only canonizing the eldest son as the crown prince, but also reusing the second son very much, so that the two people had the idea and strength to compete, which eventually led to a tragedy.

In fact, the correct approach is to support a son with one mind, so that everyone in the world can see clearly that the emperor's heir must be the supported prince, so that all the princes and ministers will be at ease, and there will be no more internal struggles, but in this way, the only prince who is supported has become the emperor's biggest threat, in case this prince has been the prince for too long, and he can't wait, and it is not difficult to kill his father and rely on himself, so many emperors can't wait in order to prevent their sons, so, Deliberately give hope to all the princes, so that they feel that they are all likely to become the next emperor, so as to compete with each other for the crown prince, so that they will not have the energy to fight against the emperor's imperial power.

Li Yuan is such a fool, Li Longji is not like this, since he killed the first prince, he has carried out various suppressions on the second prince, but he has always refused to abolish it, so he gave the rest of the princes the opportunity to let other princes have the idea of competing for the crown prince, and then maintain his own imperial power.

Treat his son like this, treat the minister the same way, all along, Li Longji has handed over the government to Li Linfu, that is because Li Linfu is obedient enough, can understand what he means, do what he likes to see, and in the later period, in order to contain Li Linfu, he promoted Yang Guozhong, but Li Linfu's right minister position has always been there, even if Yang Guozhong was at his most brilliant, the official position was also under Li Linfu, until Li Linfu died, he justifiably ascended to the position of the head of the ministers.

This time, it was the head of the Tan King Li Brown who trespassed into the dormitory, although this is also a piece of filial piety, but this behavior is really bold, so naturally he has to teach a little lesson and let the prince stay, because the prince's performance this time is the most satisfactory to him, which is what he wants.

Although the area of the emperor's dormitory is large, it is also limited, and it cannot accommodate too many people, just now the princes came in, and they occupied a large area, resulting in only a dozen officials entering the house, and the rest were waiting outside, after the princes left, these officials stepped in to salute, and then got up to serve.

"Yang Aiqing."

Li Longji suddenly shouted.

"Wechen is here."

Yang Guozhong was startled and hurriedly walked out of the team.

"The right prime minister is sick, and you have to worry more about the affairs of the court."

Li Longji opened his mouth and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, serve Your Majesty, and Weichen will never give up."

Yang Guozhong responded with a loyal face, not to mention how happy he was in his heart.

Seeing that Yang Guozhong was so appreciated by the emperor, Li Heng's expression was cold, and he was naturally quite dissatisfied in his heart, and all this was seen by the emperor.

"Prince, you have to worry more about the affairs of the court and help deal with some of them."

Li Longji glanced at the prince and spoke.

Because this time the prince behaved very well and did not have any irregular actions, which made Li Longji very satisfied, so he gave some encouragement and reward.

"The retainers obey."

Li Heng was so frightened by the blow that he didn't dare to speak more, he was just a treasure of words, for fear of making the emperor unhappy if he said something wrong.
