Chapter 468: Too late to understand
"Father, he ...... Really? Li Chun's body shook, clutching the letter in his hand, tears in his eyes.
Wu Yuanheng nodded slightly, and said bluntly: "Holy Lord, you think about it carefully, although the first emperor had suffered a stroke at that time, he had been the crown prince for more than 20 years, and he had deep influence in the palace. Why were you able to enter the Zichen Hall so easily? It's all because the first emperor never thought of setting up another person, otherwise as long as King Fu was summoned into the palace in advance to escort him and write down the edict of succession, how could you force the palace to ascend the throne? ”
Li Chun was speechless for a moment and burst into tears.
Wu Yuanheng's eyes were also hot when he saw this, and he said with emotion: "When the first emperor was the crown prince in the East Palace, he mentioned you and King Fu to his ministers many times. He said that you have great ambitions and decisive actions, and you have the style of Taizong back then; And King Fu is affectionate and filial, benevolent and kind, Xiao is like Gaozong. Holy Lord, can't you still hear the mind of the first emperor? Gaozong's merits are far inferior to Taizong's! ”
Yes, Gaozong Li Zhi is indeed inferior to Taizong Li Shimin.
"In troubled times, the British lord is born, and the world is governed by benevolence. You are the king of the brave and the warrior, and the king of fortune can only keep it. The first emperor knew that the Tang Dynasty was in danger, so how could he hand over the throne to King Fu? Wu Yuanheng couldn't say anything more at this point, so he could only bow heavily, "Holy Lord, you really misunderstood the first emperor and misunderstood the Fu King!" ”
For the first time, Li Chun cried in front of his subordinates.
When he forced the palace, he never cried; When the feudal town bullied him, he was never weak; When crusading against the rebels, he did not shed a single tear.
He had always thought he was strong enough to withstand any storm, just because he had experienced the heaviest blows, and had endured the dislike of father and son, siblings.
He even deceived himself by telling himself that it was these ups and downs that made him the tough he is today, so that he could face the powerful clan without fear and without compromise.
However, the letter in his hand, Wu Yuanheng's words, suddenly hit his weakest heart, and also pulled out the deepest thorn.
From now on, he can finally be relieved of the past, relieved of those days that are like a fish in his throat, he can finally face his heart calmly, and wash away the years of humiliation, unwillingness, and stain by him!
Finally, he can let go of himself.
Tears fell on the letter in his hand, the ink gradually became thick, and the handwriting gradually blurred. Li Chun held the letter in his heart, weeping and blaming himself: "It's me who is sorry for my father and the sixteenth brother!" But it's too late, and I can't make up for it! ”
"Holy Lord, it's not too late to make amends! The first emperor is gone, but King Fu is still there! Wu Yuanheng took advantage of the situation to persuade, "As long as you have the heart to make up for it, with the temperament of King Fu, he will definitely settle his old suspicions with you." ”
"Will he?" Li Chun was not very confident, "I misunderstood him several times and took the opportunity to make trouble, he will not forgive me." ”
Li Chun pressed his forehead as he spoke, and sighed again and again: "It's me who is too stupid, just such a compatriot brother, not only do I not gather trust, but I doubt everywhere, causing this situation." ”
"The saint is too worried, how can my brother have an overnight feud?" Wu Yuanheng pretended to groan, and said, "Actually, the minister has an idea, you might as well listen to it." ”
Li Chun raised his sleeve to wipe away his tears: "Teacher, say quickly." ”
Wu Yuanheng proposed: "If you want to make up for this matter, it is very simple, you first restore the title of King Fu, and then add him as the general of the Shangzhu State to show your favor." ”
Li Chun hesitated after hearing this: "But at the beginning, I put him in prison, stripped him of his title, and everyone in the court knew it, and now I will change my ......."
"The saint is confused, this is all a bitter trick by you and King Fu, it is for the Xiao family father and son!" Wu Yuanheng deliberately misinterpreted, "Didn't you discuss it with King Fu?" Let him pretend to surrender, lurk in the enemy camp, and cooperate with you inside and out! ”
Li Chun's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Wu Yuanheng continued: "Now that the rebellion has been successful, King Fu should naturally rehabilitate Zhaoxue, and it is only natural that he should be crowned the general of the Shangzhu State because of his merits. ”
"Not bad! The teacher was right! That's exactly what I mean! Li Chun suddenly woke up, got up excitedly, and walked down the Danqi and paced back and forth, "I not only want to crown him as the general of the Shangzhu Kingdom, but also give him gold, silver and jewelry, so that he can welcome the Buddha's bones into Beijing!" Also, the few clans that bullied him before will be severely punished! ”
"Uh...... This is not necessary," Wu Yuanheng sweated when he heard this, and was busy dissuading, "You can be a little gracious, too much is to make things difficult for King Fu." Kill and kill, and praise is killing. ”
Li Chun was convinced by these words, but just by sealing Li Chengxuan to the Pillar Kingdom, he couldn't express his guilt at all, and the Son of Heaven couldn't help but get irritable.
Wu Yuanheng knew the sacred heart very well, so he proposed again: "Holy Lord, whether you are rehabilitated or sealed, I am afraid that there is nothing more than one thing that can make King Fu happy." ”
"You mean...... Yue'er? Li Chun had already thought of it, but hesitated.
If Xilingyue was just an ordinary folk girl, or even if she was the daughter of the eldest princess, Li Chun would be able to think of a way to let her change her identity and marry Li Chengxuan as the princess of Fu. But she is the orphan of the Wu family, His Royal Highness Kang Xing! This identity is too sensitive, even if he feels guilty, he doesn't dare to promise Li Chengxuan this matter easily.
In the end, it was Wu Yuanheng who was a bystander, and said with a smile: "The saint is confused again, it is precisely because the lady of Xiling is His Royal Highness Kangxing that you should let her marry King Fu." ”
"Oh? What does this mean? "The Son of Heaven doesn't know what's going on.
"In the past, Gaozu destroyed the Sui Dynasty, and Taizong was still the king of Qin, so Gaozu gave the daughter of Emperor Yang of Sui to Taizong as a side concubine. And Gojong destroyed Goguryeo, and also accepted the daughter of the clan, have you forgotten all this? ”
Li Chun suddenly realized.
Taizong Nayang Concubine and Gojong Na Goguryeo princess, these marriages are the integration of the two regimes, to show that the Son of Heaven appeases and attaches importance to the extinct regime. If he gave the orphan of the Wu family to marry his brother, wouldn't it show his magnanimity as the Son of Heaven? It can also establish prestige among the Wu clan, which is more conducive to recruiting the remnants of the secret guards of Wuning County and the Xiao family, and it can fulfill Li Chengxuan's wish, and count it in one fell swoop!
Wu Yuanheng saw that the Son of Heaven had figured it out, and his heart was also relieved: "From the perspective of Weichen, you not only have to give marriage, but also announce the identity of the Xiling lady in the world and make her the county lord." Back then, Ruizong and Princess Taiping had a deep relationship between brothers and sisters, and you and Xiling Niangzi, as the descendants of the two, should be closer. ”
"The teacher has a point!" Li Chun instantly felt happy in his heart.
However, before Wu Yuanheng finished speaking, he took another step forward and whispered to Li Chun: "In this way, you should be completely relieved of King Fu." The people of the Tang Dynasty will never allow another queen surnamed Wu. ”
Yes, there will definitely be no more queens surnamed Wu in Datang. Li Chun knew this in his heart.
I thought that Xuanzong loved Concubine Wu Hui back then, and wanted to make her the queen many times, but she gave up because of the opposition of the courtiers. In the final analysis, it is precisely because of her surname "Wu", and the Tang Dynasty has changed after the martial arts, and there are Empress Wei, Princess Anle, and Princess Taiping following suit, and female disasters are rampant. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the daughter surnamed Wu to be a queen again, from the courtiers of the clan to the common people, they will not allow this to happen again.
