"Of course that's the case, King Yan, the person who can ascend to the Ninety-Five Honor, nine times out of ten, is not a waste. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info," Guo Rong said.

Li Hongji groaned, he knew something about his father, Emperor Liezu was also hesitant to choose the prince, now it is a troubled time, and a strong monarch is needed to lead the country, Liezu once considered Li Jingda, who can be civil and martial, but under the persuasion of Song Qiqiu and other old ministers, Liezu finally changed his attention. The best candidate for the prince is the eldest son, which is justified and will not leave hidden dangers and cause turmoil in the imperial court, especially when there are strong enemies around the Tang Dynasty, it is the most important thing to establish the eldest son as the prince.

Therefore, the father and emperor will ascend to the throne later, and at the same time, it also caused Song Qiqiu and others to have great power, resulting in the tail not being lost. Over the years, there has been a lot of party contention, which has a great deal to do with this matter. Of course, there are reasons for the ancestors, and the talent of the father himself is also one of the reasons, so the father is definitely not an ordinary person.

If it is really as Guo Rong said, then his future will inevitably be blocked, and there is no possibility of progress. Li Hongji changed color slightly, and what Guo Rong needed was such an effect, Guo Rong knew that Li Hongji believed it a little.

Li Hongji's face was cloudy, he thought about it, and said very hesitantly: "Things shouldn't be like this." ”

"Quite possibly." Guo Rong said.

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Lingyun hurriedly walked in and said, "King Yan, someone is in the palace." ”

Li Hongji's face changed, and he waved his hand hurriedly, signaling Guo Rong, Yelu Xiyin and others to hide behind the screen.

"King Yan answered." Gao Ze shouted.

Li Hongji hurriedly knelt down to receive the order.

Guo Rong glanced at Yelu Xiyin and shook his head slightly, he knew that things were not good, and King Yan would be punished nine times out of ten, but it was okay to give him a chance, King Yan would be humiliated, he would inevitably be very angry, and he would be dissatisfied, and the magic circle of the matter would be implemented as planned.

Yelu Xiyin's eyes flashed, he didn't know what Guo Rong was going to do, and now that King Yan was punished, this was not good news. However, he was still calm, quietly waiting for Gao Ze to finish reciting the holy decree.

Li Hongji knelt on the ground, his hands were unconsciously covered with sweat, he couldn't have imagined that this time his father had made up his mind to move him to the place where birds don't in Jizhou. Jizhou is a small terrain, the weather is hot, and the humidity is very heavy, so it is not a place to live for a long time.

The father is like this, which means that Guo Rong's words have become a prophecy, and his father is already extremely dissatisfied with him. Staying away from Jinling not only means being degraded, but also means that he has to stay away from the power center of the Tang Dynasty, once something happens in Jinling, he can't get the news in time. If one day, his father dies and King Qi ascends the throne, his fate is doomed.

Li Hongji fell into contemplation for a while, and on the side, Gao Ze finished reciting the holy decree, looked at King Yan, who was not moving at all, and said, "King Yan has the decree." ”

Li Hongji didn't react, he was still kneeling on the ground, and there was only one thought in his mind, it's over, it's over.

Gao Ze shouted again, Li Hongji reacted at this time, he grabbed the holy decree with a blue face, and looked at the font on the holy decree deadly, perhaps, it was a mistake? However, the font on the decree was clearly written by the emperor, and it was also stamped with a large jade seal.

Gao Ze frowned slightly, Li Hongji's movements were too rude, scratching the back of his hand, but he didn't get angry, but said a few words lightly, telling Li Hongji that the Son of Heaven only gave him half a month, and within this half month, he must leave Jinling.

Gao Ze said that, turned around and left, leaving Li Hongji with a depressed face.

"What to do? What to do? Li Hongji muttered to himself, he knew that the previous time he was moved to Runzhou, but Runzhou is not far from Jinling, and things can still be controlled, but now in Jizhou, the mountains and rivers are far away, and he has no spare strength at all.

Guo Rong walked out slowly, and when he heard footsteps, Li Hongji grabbed the straw like a man in the water, stood up suddenly, walked quickly in front of Guo Rong, and shouted, "What should I do?" ”

Guo Rong had a gloomy face, shook his head, and said, "I didn't expect Your Majesty to be so resolute, and he didn't miss the love of father and son at all." ”

Li Hongji pursed his lips, although he didn't speak, he already agreed with Guo Rong's words in his heart, he is the eldest son of his father, and it stands to reason that he is the first heir to the throne, but his father wants to do something about his brother and brother, which caused his imperial dream to be shattered.

Now, my father only trusts an outsider, isn't this favoritism? Since his father no longer misses the love between father and son, does he still need to fulfill his filial piety? Li Hongji couldn't help but clench his fists.

In the imperial city, Li Jing was sipping tea in the harem, and suddenly, he sighed and said: "King Yan, this child, has never forgotten the idea of seizing the heir, and I have no choice but to let him leave Jinling." ”

Empress Zhong was on the side, gently hammering Li Jing's shoulder, and when she heard her husband say this, she said: "In all dynasties, most of the eldest sons were princes, and it is reasonable for King Yan to be like this. ”

Li Jing didn't mean to blame Empress Zhong, he was silent for a while, and said: "I once made an oath in front of the Liezu Zi Palace, and this oath will never be changed. I felt sorry for King Yan, so I could allow him to make mistakes again and again. ”

Empress Zhong said: "King Yan is still young, and people are more impulsive, the world is handed over to him, and the concubines are not at ease, King Qi has always been benevolent, if he ascends the throne as the emperor, he will not treat King Yan badly." ”

Li Jing gently patted Empress Zhong's hand, "Zitong can think like this, and it is not in vain." ”

"I'm afraid, I'm only afraid of ......," Queen Zhong wanted to say and stopped.

Li Jing sat up, stretched his waist, and said, "Zitong, what do you mean Wu Hou?" ”

In the imperial court, everyone knew that King Yan and Marquis Wu were incompatible, but they didn't expect that this matter would also spread to the harem.

Empress Zhong nodded.

Li Jing frowned, groaned slightly, and said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, Wu Hou's side, I will definitely talk about it, although Wu Hou is a military general, he is quite broad-minded, and after knowing my intentions, he will not act excessively." ”

"I hope so." Empress Zhong said with some concern.

When the two were talking, Gao Ze came back and told him about the transmission of the holy decree, Li Jing saw that Gao Ze had some scratches on the back of his hand, and couldn't help but be very strange, but he didn't ask immediately, but waited for a while, made an excuse, and left the harem, and then asked.

Gao Ze just said lightly that he was accidentally injured, but with Li Jing's shrewdness, how could he not see that these were scratches?

King Yan was demoted, the Son of Heaven ordered him to move to Jizhou, not long after the holy decree was handed down, Yang Lian got the news, he was stunned for a moment, and then he understood the reason. Protecting the calf is deep, after all, it is his own son, Li Jing did not kill the killer, this is common sense, which proves that Li Jing still has a trace of friendship. Of course, this kind of friendship is the love of father and son, and there is also a hint of guilt, if it is someone else, such as him Yang Lian, the situation is uncertain.

Since Li Jing ascended the throne, some courtiers have relied on being the elders of the opening dynasty and are unruly, including Song Qiqiu as the representative, Feng Yanlu, Feng Yansi and others Although the literary level is very high, they are flatterers, and these people are a party. The other party is Han Xizai, Chang Mengxi and others, these people followed Li Jing when he was still the prince of the East Palace, and these people also relied on being Yuan Cong's ministers, and they did not obey Song Qiqiu and others.

With the accumulation of time, this contradiction between the two sides gradually evolved into the dispute between Qi and Yan, which has lasted for several years, such as today's Zi ordered King Yan to rush to Jizhou, which means that King Yan has lost power, and the party struggle will be suspended for a period of time in the future. Yan Wang's party is bound to die down. Prime Minister Sun Sheng fell, King Yan was moved, and under the leaderless group of dragons, Han Xizai, Chang Mengxi and others couldn't make any big waves.

However, with Yang Lian's understanding of Li Hongji, Li Hongji will definitely not give up, and if this matter is completely resolved, it can only be your death.

After Yang Lian got the news, he thought about it and immediately rushed to the Qi Palace.

In the Yanwang Mansion, Li Hongji looked at Guo Rong deadly, Guo Rong had been pacing and thinking, and the sound of each step was like a hammer, knocking heavily on Li Hongji's heart. His heart became a little anxious, does Guo Rong have a good way?

After a long time, Guo Rong finally raised his head, looked at Li Hongji fixedly, and said, "King Yan, do you know Tang Taizong?" ”

"Tang Taizong?" Li Hongji was stunned, the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty, how could he not know?

Yelu Xiyin had some research on the Central Plains Dynasty, but he didn't understand what Guo Rong meant, so he couldn't help asking, "King Jin, what do you mean?" ”

"King Yan, the life of Tang Taizong, I think King Yan also knows, right?" Guo Rong asked.

Li Hongji nodded, he was born as a military general, how could he not know Tang Taizong? Among the many emperors of the previous dynasty, only Tang Taizong admired him the most, when Tang Taizong was young, he was still the king of Qin, and he was famous for his military exploits in the Tang Dynasty, but unfortunately, because he was not the eldest son, he was not eligible to inherit the throne, but in the end, relying on the change of Xuanwumen, Tang Taizong successfully ascended the throne and created the rule of Zhenguan.

Wait, the change of Xuanwumen? Li Hongji seemed to have guessed something, he couldn't help but glance at Guo Rong, and said with an inquiry: "Brother Guo, what do you mean?" ”

"King Yan, isn't the situation today quite similar to the beginning?" Guo Rong asked rhetorically.

Li Hongji was silent, and Tang Taizong Li Shimin was suppressed by his father and brother, which caused the dissatisfaction of Wei Chi Jingde, Hou Junji and others, so he supported Li Shimin and launched the Xuanwumen Revolution that shocked the Tang Dynasty; Now, he is also suppressed by his father and Yang Lian, and now he is forced to go to Jizhou. In that place in Jizhou, but the place where the Tang Dynasty exiled prisoners, the attitude of the father and the emperor has already shown that he wants to give up King Yan, and this ruthless attitude has no regard for the love between father and son.

Li Hongji couldn't help clenching his fists, but he still had hesitation in his heart. The father and the emperor can not miss the love of father and son, but if he rebels, isn't it no different from a beast?

Guo Rong saw Li Hongji's hesitation, after all, Li Jing was his father, and it was not so easy to accept it if he wanted him to rebel and kill his father, at least not so easy in his heart. Before the Xuanwumen Change, Tang Taizong deliberately hesitated, so Guo Rong decided to persuade again, of course, this kind of persuasion must not be urgent, otherwise it is likely to cause Li Hongji's disgust.

"King Yan rest assured, I don't mean to rebel, but to remove the filth for His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, and eliminate the sycophants around him. Guo Rong said, his eyes were bright, and he hoped that Li Hongji would understand his words.

Li Hongji was silent, Guo Rong had already made the meaning very clear, on the side of the Qing monarch, the Qing was Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, and Yang Lian, the marquis of Wu, one of these two was the younger brother of the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the other was the newly promoted Marquis Wu, both of whom were hot, whether it was political or private, they would have a great influence on their father.

Yelu Xi secretly gave Guo Rong a thumbs up, this method is good, if you can clear the monarch's side, King Yan controls Jinling, and the next thing is much easier.

Guo Rong said again: "King Yan, the current situation can no longer wait, if you go to Jizhou, there will be nothing in Jinling, even if King Yan stays behind, King Yan is far away in Jizhou, far water can not quench the thirst, once Jinling changes, there is no way to come over in time." ”

Li Hongji still has his concerns, but this time his tone has loosened a lot, if he can clear the monarch's side, it means that he has controlled Jinling, in that case, he is the second King of Qin, first forced his father to be the crown prince, and then quickly succeeded to the throne, so justifiable, even if someone wants to rebel, the righteousness is not enough, and the people of the world will not stand on the side of the rebels.

However, the reason why Tang Taizong was able to succeed in the mutiny was because he had led the troops for a long time and had many powerful generals under him, and these generals had followed Li Shimin for many years, so he naturally hoped that Li Shimin could ascend to the throne of God, and he could rise to the top and become a hot minister in the new dynasty.

As for himself, the situation is very different, a few years ago, he still had the opportunity to lead the troops and know some generals, but over the years, with the sudden rise of Yang Lian, Yang Lian has become the main combat force of the Tang Dynasty, and most of the time, it is Yang Lian who is leading the troops. The result of this situation is that there are not many people who support Li Hongji, but there are more people who are dependent on Yang Lian.

Obviously, if you just talk about the influence of the two in the army, Li Hongji is not as good as Yang Lian today, and the mutiny needs soldiers, and they are brave and loyal soldiers, Li Hongji believes that if he has insufficient troops, he will not be able to completely control the imperial city, let alone Jinling and even the entire Tang Dynasty.

Li Hongji said his hesitation, but Guo Rong couldn't help laughing.

Li Hongji's worries are justified, but there are not many soldiers, but in the deployment, and looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, there must be people in the military department who disagree with Yang Lian, not to mention anything else, when the expedition to Wu Yueguo, some of the generals in Runzhou, Guangling and other places were eliminated by Yang Lian, which is undoubtedly a great shame for them. When the Son of Heaven suppressed it with all his might, they must be dissatisfied in their hearts.

These people are all objects that can be won over, or in other words, anyone who is dissatisfied with Yang Lian is a friend of King Yan and can be used.

Li Hongji listened to Guo Rong's words and thought about it carefully, who are the people who can be used by him? However, it seems difficult to find enough people willing to support him in just a few days.
