"What is the foundation of war? Four words - for the benefit of the country, Bashu is in danger, it is the throat of my Tang Dynasty, the foreign invasion is intended to be in the Central Plains, if you can't resist, I'm afraid the loss is not as simple as three cities, the entire Bashu may fall! And if Bashu is lost, the Beijing division will be chaotic! ”

An official sneered and said, "The prince is exaggerating, right? General Changsun is mighty, and it is believed that he will be able to recover the lost three cities and annihilate the enemy. ”

Li Hanyan sneered, but there was no way to defend himself.

Hubu Shangshu spoke again: "The minister thinks that we can first mobilize troops and horses from all over the country and go to Bashu in the shortest possible time to help General Sun annihilate the enemy army." ”

"That's fine." Someone seconded.

But the military department Shangshu was not happy, "You say tune it?" The main forces of my Tang Dynasty are distributed on the Great Wall at the border pass, in order to deter foreign tribes and mobilize them to Bashu, if the foreign tribes take this opportunity to invade on a large scale, what should they do? ”

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what do you say?!"

After arguing for a long time, I didn't discuss a better solution, and before I knew it, it was already dusk.

The emperor rubbed his eyebrows a little sleepily, and said, "You all step down, go back and write a fold, and discuss it tomorrow morning." ”

Everyone responded, and retreated one after another, Li Hanyan also turned around and was about to leave, but he heard his father behind him call him softly: "Prince, you stay." ”

Li Hanyan turned around and stood with his hands over, and after everyone left, the emperor said slowly: "Li Hanyan, my prince of the Tang Dynasty and my prince, is not good now." ”

Li Hanyan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, thinking that his father must have a deep intention to leave him alone, so he bowed down, "Erchen doesn't understand what his father means. ”

The emperor snorted coldly, did not speak, took the hot tea handed by the palace maid next to him, took a sip, and continued to look at the folds on the board.

In this way, Li Hanyan stood for another cup of tea, and failed to leave, and finally, the emperor on the high seat slowly spoke: "The four divisions of this dynasty, you Li Hanyan monopolize half of it, is there anything more beautiful than you in this capital?" ”

Li Hanyan's eyes narrowed deeper, and he said calmly, "In the final analysis, the fourth division is still ruled by the father, and the sons are just managing on their behalf, which is not a good scenery, but it makes the sons and daughters panic." ”

"Panic? Do you Li Hanyan still know that he is afraid?! ”

With a "click", the sound of porcelain breaking sounded in the silent hall, and the white porcelain tea cup in the emperor's hand was thrown in front of Li Hanyan by him, and the hot tea and fragments splashed on the back of his hand, cutting through the skin and flowing bright red blood.

"Do you really not know your mind? I want to let popular uprisings break out in various places and fight against the imperial power, so as to force me to abdicate, yes or no?! ”

The emperor shouted sternly, although he has gray temples, but he is not old and confused, what is the shortage of food and grass, and the army's spirit is unstable, resulting in the loss of three cities in a row, everything is nonsense!

This is nothing more than a shock from the eldest grandson family, nothing more than wanting the entire government and the opposition to see, although Gongzi Hanyan lost his mother at a young age, but it is not a soft persimmon that can be kneaded by anyone, the power of relatives is still there, and the eldest grandson family can make the feet of the Son of Heaven tremble three times by stomping his feet!

"Yes, in the final analysis, it's not me, you lost your mother at a young age, and I don't have much time to accompany you because of my busy political affairs, so you have been bullied a lot in the palace."

The emperor walked down from the high seat, "Since you moved to the palace outside the palace, the two divisions of the Northern Imperial Palace and the Imperial City have been taken into your pocket, plus the eldest grandson family is trying their best to assist you behind your back, you already have the ability to rebel, what?" Now I can't wait, do you want to take the position yourself?! ”

The eldest grandson family, the eldest grandson Yiyang - the former queen, the grandson Wuji - the first general, the eldest grandson Yu Ci - the meritorious veteran Xiao Guogong, with the assistance of this powerful foreign relative force, plus the two divisions of the Northern Imperial Palace and the Imperial City, Li Hanyan now does have the ability to rebel.

"Seeing that the border war is urgent, Erchen is anxious and quick-talking, and he really lacks thought, but he has no second thoughts, and he has never thought of rebellion, and he also asked his father to know it." After Li Hanyan finished speaking, he knocked heavily on the ground again.

The emperor had already walked in front of Li Hanyan at this time, with broken tea cups and tea stains under his feet, the monarch of a country who was more than half a hundred years old had white temples, a sense of vicissitudes on his face, and his eyes looked at the son kneeling on the ground in front of him.

Seeing that this son was still arrogant even though he was kneeling in front of him, he couldn't help but squint his eyes when he thought that this unpredictable son might slash himself in order to sit on the position of the Ninety-Five.

What about the king of a country? Now that the situation of the two saints in the court is divided, it has already given him enough headaches, and now that he has such a natural rebellious son, the king of a country should be the first since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

"Get up."

Li Hanyan snapped his head and stood up from the ground, obviously about the same size as the father in front of him, but he had to be submissive and bow slightly, he still couldn't resist the majesty of his father after all, so he had to take two steps back.

The emperor looked at Li Hanyan in front of him, and his eyes were full of vicissitudes after the glitz.

Li Hanyan was the one he grew up seeing, he was good at everything when he was a child, and he was the most outstanding of all the brothers, but after the death of Empress Changsun, he completely changed.

It's like a changed person, instead of the benevolence that a prince should have, dedicated to the people, but instead becomes ruthless, unscrupulous means to achieve the goal, and treats human life like a mustard.

And on the board behind him, it was reported that the prince had formed a party for personal gain, and colluded with foreign clans, and if it weren't for the fact that this son still had a trace of the temperament of the eldest grandson queen back then, even if he heard him call "father", he would feel uncomfortable.

In the final analysis, all of this is caused by himself, failing to do the duties of a father, watching the relationship between father and son become weaker and weaker, but there is nothing he can do.

He sighed deeply, looked at Li Hanyan, and said: "You are the prince of the Tang Dynasty, my world will be handed over to you in the future, as the emperor, you should take the benefit of the people as your own responsibility, you have to remember that water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat." ”

"Erchen knows."

"Alright, stand down."

Seeing Li Hanyan bow his head and exit the door, and turn to leave, there was a hint of confusion in the emperor's eyes, he felt that he could hold this son in the palm of his hand and control it to death.

But the power behind Li Hanyan's back is growing on a large scale, and it has reached the point where it can threaten the imperial power, so that the eldest grandson Wuji can live in three cities in a row, which is the best proof.

The king of a country who is over half a hundred years old raised his head and sighed lightly, only hoping that his son could turn back and do his duty as a prince, so as to win the hearts of the people and win the world, instead of relying on those indiscriminate means to ascend to the throne.

On the other side, in the Kunning Palace, Empress Xiao sat on the phoenix chair, and next to her sat the gentle and obedient third prince - Li Qingqiu.

Empress Xiao had already removed the smile on her face, and snorted coldly: "The crown prince's power is increasing day and night, and the eldest grandson family is behind him, and it will take us some more time to bring him down." ”

"A naturally rebellious and unruly person will have something happen sooner or later, and he will not be afraid, and sooner or later he will be buried in his own hands." The third prince Li Qingqiu's smile is still the same, as if he is enjoying the flowers in the courtyard.

"Heh, this is also true, he is causing trouble every day, challenging the emperor's bottom line every day, first forming a party for personal gain, and then colluding with foreign clans, all of this is in the eyes of the emperor, and sooner or later his position as the crown prince will be confined by himself."

"In the world of the Tang Dynasty, the eldest grandson family has taken a lot of credit back then, and now the eldest grandson family is trying its best to assist the prince, Guan is those few crimes, the father will not convict him for the time being, we need to dig a pit, let him fall into it, and never turn over." Li Qingqiu said with a light smile.

Empress Xiao nodded: "We have to make some trouble for him and let him jump into the pit by himself." ”

The corners of Li Qingqiu's mouth raised slightly, and said, "Trouble is naturally for him, then Xue Zhimo can just be used as our pawn." ”

Empress Xiao got up and walked down from the phoenix chair, "Anyway, Xue Zhimo has seen it in this palace, Hao'er said just now that he was an impostor, but what is the basis?" Are there really two people in the world who look the same? ”

"I did hear some news, but there is no empirical evidence, Lao Jiu made his own opinions, and he also angered his father, not only put himself in, but also almost ruined my plan."

Li Qingqiu drank all the hot tea in the cup and continued: "Whether Xue Zhimo is true or not, we don't have to investigate and investigate, on the contrary, we have to help her when necessary, she is now the crown princess, and she is the only person who can get close to the prince, we must make good use of it." ”

"As for Lao Jiu's matter, the queen mother doesn't have to worry, Erchen has already asked the stand-in to go out of the city to serve in Youzhou with his identity, as long as he stays in the house honestly and doesn't come out to show his face."

Empress Xiao nodded with satisfaction, "We are not sure whether Xue Zhimo is true or not, but we can try to get into a relationship with her, after the two generations of princes of the Liao Palace, the high-level of the Xue Mansion will definitely not let her do anything." As long as she is brought over, the Liangliao Mansion can also become one of our forces. ”

Li Qingqiu pouted and chuckled: "That's not necessarily, since the death of King Pingliao in battle, the two Liao princes have been clean and self-protected for many years, and they have never been involved in political affairs, they may not necessarily come to participate in this muddy water for a girl and assist me to ascend the throne." ”

"The ancestor of my Xiao family is the same clan as their Xue Mansion, and he has become the queen since the palace, but he has helped them with the two Liao Mansions. This palace can help them regain their glory, or they can never get up, this muddy water, they don't have to participate! Empress Xiao smiled very coldly, and crushed a piece of osmanthus cake on the table, her eyes were bright and terrifying.
