Li Er sat on the nine-dragon chair, his hands on the two dragon heads as armrests, the index finger of his right hand knocked on it from time to time, looking preoccupied, during this time Datang was in turmoil, not only the enemy who was about to move, but also the guy who made a mess in Chang'an City also gave him a headache, but she couldn't hate this person, because he also knew that after a comfortable life in the past few years, many officials gradually became degenerate, but there were too many involved, Li Er had the heart to punish him, But before he could start acting, he made such a fuss, and he suddenly became passive. What he wants to do most now is to arrest this person, to be able to find out everything these officials have done, what kind of force should this be? As the lord of a country, although Li Er has the highest social artifact, he has some scruples, and the intricate entanglement of forces, he has to think clearly, Datang is a balance, and it is not easy to maintain the balance between the two parties.

In front of Li Er, there was a large group of people kneeling, these people were wearing red and purple, all of them were important figures in the court, but they knelt in front of Li Er in fear and fear, in order to gain Li Er's understanding, because in the recent confessions of these officials who surrendered, they were all people who occupied a place. After being found out in private, they still have room to turn around, but now they can't fool the past, because the figures kneeling in front of the Suzaku door have shattered all their luck, and without the slightest preparation, they have been accused. Being able to come to Li Er to intercede is already a blessing. How could you ask for more? All they could do was to kneel and wait for Li Erfa to fall, and their heads were full of cold sweat. Didn't dare to move at all.

Xu Qing ...... As one of the eighteen scholars of the Tiance Mansion, you have followed me all the way to make suggestions, and after so many years, I have treated you well, why do you still do such a thing? Not enough? I remember that your family still has two properties, how can you take such a risk? Li Er looked at a purple-robed official kneeling below and asked.

Who is this man? He is Xu Jingzong, although his character is not too commendable, but he is also a person with his own integrity. As an orthodox literati, Xu Jingzong has always despised those people who fish and flesh the common people, if it weren't for the old mother and wife at home crying in front of him for a long time, he would not have done it, and would rather starve to death than engage in lowly businessmen. This is Xu Jingzong's ethics. But he was confessed by Cao Yunshan, the squire of the Ministry of War, and in the case of the deduction of military salaries from the Ministry of War in the past two years, Xu Jingzong actually played a disgraceful role. It was he who proposed the exchange of old rice for new rice.

"Your Majesty, the old minister deserves to die, admit to killing and killing, but the young son of the old minister hopes that Your Majesty can spare his life!" Xu Jingzong did not have the slightest excuse. Because in his belief, this thing is something that violates his ethics as a human being, but he still does it, even if there is a last resort. It's still unforgettable, and even how many times I dreamed back at midnight. I also woke up in a cold sweat. But he couldn't say why he did such an unwise thing, because if he said it, the Tang Dynasty would really be in chaos.

"Haha...... You are all good servants of me. That's great! In order to protect that little rabbit cub, he was willing to bear all the blame, it seems that over the years, he really has the means, and he can actually convince people like Xu Qing! But do you think I really don't know about his actions? Where do you think he really used the money? He thought he was in control of the situation, but this world was not something he could play with his careful thinking after all, even if the eldest grandson Wuji stood behind him! Li Eryi patted the imperial case in front of him.

"Since Your Majesty knows, then the old minister has nothing to say, that's right, all this is behind the prince's back!" Xu Jingzong also let go at this time, and directly poked out the person behind him, since Li Erdu already knew, then concealing it was a crime, and he also knew that in fact, less than one-third of the things promised by the prince were now implemented, and more were used by him to collude with more forces. These silver money and state funds absorbed from the people of the Tang Dynasty, the army, and the merchants were not spent much, and more of them were given by him to those family forces in the court, so that those big families could support him when he was full of wings in the future. But how could he know that these things were under Li Er's control, and how could the eldest grandson Wuji betray Li Er, even if Li Chengqian was his nephew, but Li Er was the one he swore allegiance to.

"Since you also know that that kid Chengqian is coming to Hulai, why do you still lie down in troubled waters? I don't believe you can't see the situation clearly! Li Erduan sat and looked directly at Xu Jingzong.

"Something, I have to do it! In that last resort, giving in is the only way out! "Xu Jingzong doesn't know this, but the power of the crown prince Li Chengqian is far from being something Xu Jingzong can contend with, and he is not the kind of person who wants Li Er to ask for help in everything, so choosing to stand in line is the best ending. And he thinks that Li Chengqian is also very promising to take charge of the Tang Dynasty, which is just an investment in advance. When he learned that Li Chengqian had shown favor to the family, he was already deep in the mud and couldn't extricate himself.

"Someone, call the prince to me!" Li Er shouted angrily, and then called someone to call Li Chengqian over. The East Palace is not very far from the Lizheng Palace, but at tea time, Li Chengqian has already come here, and when he saw those people kneeling below, his face suddenly changed greatly.

"What, Cheng Qian, you were surprised to see these people?" Li Er said indifferently.

"I don't know why my father said this!" Li Chengqian pretended to be confused and said, while quietly observing the faces of those people below, and when he saw the gray looks of those people, his heart suddenly cooled.

"Those families have collected hundreds of thousands of taels of Tang state funds from you, should they help you survive this catastrophe?" Li Er didn't have the slightest tactfulness, he knew that it was time to make a decision, this eldest son was his chosen successor, but he made such a choice, he was bent on suppressing the power of the family, in order to establish the supreme prestige of the imperial power, but his own son, but he buried the good situation he laid down directly, although for the time being he got the support of the family forces, but after a long time, the family will definitely be above the imperial power, this Li Chengqian can't play those people of the family, Because the Li Tang royal family background is still shallow after all, although he was born in the Li family of Longxi, this family is still not as good as the old families of the Cui family of Qinghe, the time is too short, from the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, it is only more than two hundred years, and because the blood of the Hu people is unified, it has not been accepted by the purest family circles.

"Father's anger!" Li Chengqian was completely confused at this time, he knelt down all of a sudden, his body trembling like sifting chaff.

"How can I calm my anger? You say? Selling the interests of Datang in exchange for the support of those families and even Fanbang, you really did it, do you think they will support you? No, they'll just stand behind you, watch you put on a botched show in front of them like a play, and then point fingers and say you're a fool! This family is the biggest traitor of imperial power, how many dynasties have they set up for thousands of years? How many dynasties have risen and fallen because the family has rebelled in secret? You must also know that our royal family was also a family in the first place! Li Er's words can be said to be extremely serious, and he directly named the position that is incompatible with the family.

When Li Chengqian heard these words, he immediately knew that he had no chance, and he sat on the ground with a decadent face.

"I remember that the eldest grandson Wuji persuaded you seventy-eight times, but did you listen? He pointed out so many schemes for you to divide the forces of the family that showed favor to you, have you ever done one? Even he objected to you again and again to win over the remnants of those Japanese slave countries, have you listened? No, he's done everything he can, how much more do you think you're worth his attention to you? All he could do was exchange the soldiers on the ships you betrayed twice for death row prisoners! It's not that I don't want to teach you, but I hope that you can wake up by yourself, and even let the auxiliary machine wake you up. But you won't listen! I won't stop you from being blinded by things that are unrealistic, because I want to see if you wake up! Li Er said eloquently: "But now all this has been directly lifted out, and I have to deal with you!" Cheng Qian, this world is not from a family, nor is it from the royal family, but from the people of this world! The people are the water, the king is the boat, the water can carry the boat, and it can also overturn the boat! The people's back is the back of the world! I have only realized it in the past few years, but now that the Tang Dynasty is about to lose the hearts of the people, in my heart you are not unimportant, but the most important thing is the entire empire! ”

"Father...... Erchen knows who did it! Li Chengqian knew at this time that he would not be able to escape this catastrophe, but he would not let the person who put him in such a situation feel better, he knew who was behind the scenes to do these things!

"Oh...... Say, Who is it? Li Er asked.

"It's Li Kuan! He returned to Chang'an, just two months ago, he just went to his uncle's mansion, and only my uncle and I know about this matter, and I am afraid that you don't even know about it! Li Chengqian roared.

"I know...... I know everything! Li Er was completely disappointed.

"I declare the world: abolish the position of Prince Li Chengqian and demote him to the common people! Never be released! Li Erjing was drained of his whole body strength and collapsed directly on the dragon chair, he knew all this, he thought there was still the last glimmer of hope, but he didn't expect to be directly buried by Li Chengqian himself, this is fate!
