Now Li Tai has long been deposed from his title and expelled from the capital. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After Li Chengqian lost power in the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, all the princes who had the ability to compete with the crown prince Li Zhi have been suppressed. Then with the death of Cen Wenwen, there is one less supporter of Li Tai.

The eldest grandson Wuji has never stated his position on the selection of the crown prince before. Empress Changsun is the younger sister of Changsun Wuji, and her three sons Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Zhi. No matter who becomes the crown prince, it is unlikely that he will not have a good impression of his uncle.

It can be said that his attitude in the early days was clear that he did not explicitly state which one he supported, because he would offend the other two, and the one he supported would not necessarily lead to the final victory.

In the same way, the emperor was also very hesitant on this issue, he did think that Li Chengqian was not good enough, but he did not earnestly hope to abolish him, but more hoped that one day Li Chengqian could change his evil ways and return to righteousness, so he kept sending ministers to persuade and restrain Li Chengqian.

After Li Chengqian's defeat, there were two reasons why the eldest grandson Wuji finally made up his mind to support Li Zhi, one was that Wei Zheng, Chu Suiliang and others, the elders of the court, began to express their dissatisfaction with Li Tai. First, Wei Zheng wrote that Li Tai humiliated the nobles; Then Chu Suiliang also wrote that Li Tai was too extravagant.

The eldest grandson Wuji knew that Li Tai's extravagance was actually the responsibility of the emperor. According to the custom, the prince should go to the fief when he becomes an adult, and he should not stay in Gyeonggi for a long time.

However, because the emperor favored Li Tai, he was allowed to "not have to go out of Beijing to be an official". Li Tai loved literature, and the emperor asked him to set up a literature museum in his mansion and let him recruit bachelors, and a large number of young officials gathered around him, and Li Tai's daily expenses also exceeded that of the crown prince Li Chengqian at that time.

But the eldest grandson Wuji knew that it would be difficult for Li Tai, who was opposed by the ministers, and Li Tai, who was supported by a group of young and unqualified officials, to succeed.

Another reason why he turned to explicitly support Li Zhi was that when the emperor expressed his intention to make Li Tai the crown prince, Zhongshu Ling Cen Wenwen and Zuo Concubine Liu Xun took the lead in writing a request to make Li Tai the crown prince.

Li Tai and Li Zhi are both sons of their younger sisters, but among their supporters, the eldest grandson Wuji is absolutely unwilling to rank behind Cen Wenwen and Liu Xun. It's as simple as that, because of two reasons: he thinks about his future position, and their success rate.

Therefore, the eldest grandson slapped his own nephew Li Tai down with one palm. With the support of Chu Suiliang and Fang Xuanling, coupled with the decisive role of the eldest grandson Wuji, although the emperor thought that Li Zhi, the king of Jin, was a little benevolent and weak, he still made him the crown prince in April of the seventeenth year of Zhenguan.

Soon, at the end of the same year that Li Zhi was made the crown prince, the emperor expressed his appreciation for another prince, Li Ke, the king of Wu. Li Ke's mother was the daughter of Emperor Yang of Sui.

Li Ke was as heroic as his father and good at riding and archery, so the emperor was naturally attracted to him. But the eldest grandson, Wuji, intervened again, directly criticizing the emperor's capriciousness and insisting that Li Zhi would be a preeminent successor.

Even if he is replaced by the fallen Li Tai and Li Ke to compete for the crown prince, the eldest grandson Wuji will also oppose Li Ke, because Li Ke is not the child of his sister Empress Changsun.

At that time, the emperor was angry with the stubborn and resolute attitude of the eldest grandson Wuji, and he once said to the eldest grandson Wuji angrily, "Li Ke is not your nephew, but his heroic qualities are like mine." It's just that he was set up, and someone who wanted to be protected by the queen as an uncle might be disappointed! ”

This is very good for the monarch and ministers, whether it is from the eldest grandson empress, or the personal relationship between the two, of course, it is impossible for an emperor to speak to his brother-in-law like this in front of civil and military officials.

It was in the inner sanctum, a very private occasion. The eldest grandson Wuji was also very upset by the emperor's almost straightforward sarcasm, and he retorted two sentences with a red face, which was related to the eldest grandson empress.

Standing on both sides, the two historians who were responsible for recording the emperor's daily words and deeds, the Zhongshu Provincial House Keeper, also known as the Left and Right History, recorded this sentence of the eldest grandson verbatim.

Afterwards, the emperor thought that the two sentences said by the eldest grandson Wuji were related to the queen and his family affairs, and would implicate a very faceless incident in the emperor's career, so he ordered them to change this passage and replace it with two sentences that no matter who read it, they would not think much about it:

Wuji said, "The king of Jin is benevolent, a good lord who keeps the text, and if he is indecided, he will lose, and what is the storage position?" ”

In this way, Lord Wuji slapped Wu Wang Li Ke down with another palm. According to the result he most hoped for, Li Zhi, the king of Jin, finally became the crown prince.

Now, Cen Wenwen is tired and down, and most of the powerful officials are on his side, so that he can ensure that he protects Li Zhi for a while more before he is full-fledged, until he successfully ascends to the throne - even the important Fang Xuanling is on his side - his second son Fang Yiai is in favor of Li Tai.

The only one who was decent was Gao Ge Lao, who was known for his prudence and never expressed his opinion on who would be the crown prince, and even Gao Jian's friendship with the ministers of the court and China was impeccable. However, now Gaofu has increasingly revealed a power that cannot be taken lightly.

In less than a year, far away in Xizhou, there is a son of Gaofu who has increasingly attracted the attention of the eldest grandson Wuji. He is Gao Jun, the new Xizhou Beijia, the chief pastoral supervisor of Tianshan Pastoral Pastor, and the Silk Road Governor of Datang.

He believes that Gao Jun is different from the other two generations of Gao Fu, and those people have inherited more of Gao Ge Lao's characteristics - they are satisfied with the position of nobility, and are known for smoothing things out and not causing trouble, rather than doing things.

Gao Jun is different from these people, he has been doing things and doing them. And everything happens when the emperor has just reached out his hand, or wants to reach out to do it. A milky kid has achieved the rank of Xizhou who is on the fourth grade, and he is also the chief pastor of Tianshan and the Silk Road supervisor of Datang, which is enough to make people afraid.

Is Gaofu's attitude always ambiguous?

Chai Shaotang, the general of the right leading army, came to the eldest grandson a few days ago to complain: the four Pachong Military Mansions in Jiannan Province that were originally under his jurisdiction suddenly let Gao Jun cut two and merge one.

"What the hell is he trying to do?!" Chai Shaotang is the descendant of the eldest grandson Wuji, and he is not shy about driving in Xizhou at all.

Now Lord Wuji definitely doesn't want to be embarrassed by this prosperous Xizhou, not to mention that there is still a steady and steady Gao Ge old man standing behind him.

In addition, the emperor was very satisfied with what Xizhou had done in Jiannan Road, and Gao Jun scratched the place where His Majesty the Emperor wanted to scratch the most. My sister is gone, and Mowgli-sama can't keep playing this card endlessly.

He was now more willing to touch Gaofu's attitude, after all, it was better to defeat a tough opponent who did not show hostility than to hold a strong helper.

He said to Chai Shaotang, "He is only acting on orders, not against your right leading guard." Besides, don't forget, it's that there are people who make a mess in your Weiyuan Mansion, and Gao Jun just cleaned up the portal for you, otherwise you will suffer! ”

General Chai immediately stopped talking.

As for the fact that the butterfly qin that just appeared was hiding the leather scroll, the eldest grandson Wuji thought that it had nothing to do with Gaofu. If it were, it wouldn't have been sent to the emperor by the hands of the high judges.

However, he thought that there was a follow-up article to be done on this matter. At least he can show his support for Gaofu. In addition, he heard that the seven daughters-in-law of Gao Xing, the fifth son of Gao Ge, were on their way to Chang'an. Good boys, seven!

When the time comes, Lord Wuji must go to Gaofu to visit the elder. (To be continued.) )
