Chapter 381: Becoming a King and Defeating a Villain
The storm is coming, but it's just a while!
Most people in Chang'an are already sensitively aware of this, and their mood is difficult to calm down, even apprehensive. The crown prince Li Chengqian was deeply in a state of panic, and last night he lay on the couch tossing and turning, unable to sleep at all.
At this moment, he once again experienced the feeling of extreme helplessness on the night when he was taken away.
Li Chengqian kept clenching his fists, his anxiety overflowing, and after a long time, he whispered: "Su Gan, you say...... What should Lone do now? ”
"Your Highness...... Maybe it's not that serious, you... Don't be too nervous. The always calm Su Gan Chengji couldn't help but be a little nervous when he spoke, and he stammered slightly.
Li Chengqian continued to pinch his five fingers and said in a low voice: "Lone also feels that he is too nervous, but this kind of nervousness is not completely unnecessary, believe it or not, this matter will eventually involve the East Palace." ”
Su Gan Chengji knew very well about this, this matter was not done by Donggong, which was a very terrible thing in itself. It shows that someone deliberately framed him, and in the end he will definitely splash dirty water on the head of the East Palace, and find a way to put the East Palace to death.
Someone is scheming, so Donggong will definitely not be able to do it alone, and even the Qing person can't do it by himself, because he does have a relationship with Yin Hongzhi.
As long as someone catches on this, it is enough to become a draw of attack, which is ironclad evidence, and cannot be relied on in any way. Thinking about it, since the other party has already made a move on Li You, he must have been fully prepared, so the idea of luck is meaningless, and the prince's worries are justified.
If it is placed in normal times, His Majesty the Emperor has enough trust and love for the crown prince. Then it's nothing for the purifier to clear himself. But last year, the emperor was extremely dissatisfied with the crown prince, and he was on the verge of trust bankruptcy. What would the emperor think of such an incident at this time?
It is very likely that he will be even more disgusted, at least he does not have much patience to speak for the prince, or find a way to clear the prince's innocence. After all, in the matter of Kong Yingda's injury and satisfaction, the emperor will definitely use strong means to maintain the East Palace.
If this continues, what will the world think? The emperor cannot always forcibly defend a prince who has repeatedly made mistakes, and the world will not tolerate a prince with bad deeds. Even if there are many elements of injustice.
The reality is that people are so helpless!
It is completely reasonable for the prince to consider a countermeasure at this moment, but what kind of countermeasures can be effective at such a time?
"Your Highness...... Why don't Your Highness enter the palace now to prove your innocence to Your Majesty? ”
"Isn't that the three hundred taels of silver in this place?" Li Chengqian shook his head helplessly and said: "Lonely's difficulty is here, and we can't take the initiative to prove our innocence in this matter." But by the time someone else makes a move, it's basically too late. ”
"Then ......" Su Gan Chengji muttered: "Your Highness, the people who associate with Yin Hongzhi are subordinates, and when the time comes, the subordinates will be responsible for all the things." ”
"It's useless. You are the head of the guards of the East Palace. is Lone's henchman, as long as it is related to you, how can Lone be alone? They are coming for solitude, this matter is too big for you to bear. Li Chengqian waved his hand, he had a clear understanding of the current situation, and he did not mean to let his subordinates be scapegoats.
Although it is out of realistic rational considerations, it is not necessarily that Li Chengqian feels sorry for his subordinates. But there was a trace of warmth in Su Gan Chengji's heart. He pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness, if you have to do it as a last resort." There seems to be only one way to work......"
"Sitting on the throne alone!" Li Chengqian clenched his fists, his voice was very low, but he said an earth-shattering word.
This is exactly what he thinks in his heart, but as a courtier, he doesn't dare to say it easily, and now that the prince has come in person, it is naturally better.
Li Chengqian thought about it, it seems that the matter has come to this point, and in the face of the crisis that it is likely to be abolished, it is naturally best to strike first.
Only when the prince becomes the emperor and becomes a fait accompli, can he really be safe.
Li Shimin's Xuanwumen change got off to a bad start, and gave Li Chengqian a good teaching material, his father ascended to the throne by powerlessness and blood, why can't he be?
Emulate the Xuanwumen Change?
I'm afraid not, even if I take someone to kill Li Tai, the king of Wei, and even all the princes in Chang'an, it will not be able to achieve the effect of the change of my father's Xuanwumen back then.
At that time, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, was himself a general of Tiance, and there were many effective military generals under his command, and more than half of the Tang Dynasty was defeated by him, and his prestige was there.
Even if Xuanwumen used extraordinary means, the ministers didn't dare to say anything, they could only obediently believe it, and they could even use this to control and threaten their father Li Yuan. And Li Yuan has no other way, although there are other sons, but most of them are young and have limited abilities, for the sake of Li Tang's inheritance, he can only acquiesce to the truth and pass the throne to his second son Li Shimin, even if he is a little rebellious.
But now it is different, Li Chengqian's prestige is very limited, he can't control the minister, and he can't control Li Shimin. Even if all the princes of Chang'an are dead, and Li Ke, the king of Wu, and Li An, the king of Shu, are outside, there are still heirs to the throne, so the royal family will not acquiesce to a rebellious prince to ascend the throne.
Therefore, the case of the Xuanwumen Revolution has no reference value for Li Chengqian, and all he can do is to kill the monarch and kill his father.
Only when the emperor dies, the crown prince is the legitimate heir to the throne, although it is against the law to do so, but in the face of your death, Li Chengqian has no choice.
That's it, that's all.
As long as he succeeds, his ascension to the throne will be in accordance with the law of etiquette, make up for the lack of prestige, and then push the charge of killing the king and killing the father on others, such as Li Tai, the king of Wei.
In the era of the princes and the losers, the history books will leave a record of the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, the king of Wei, Li Tai, who killed the monarch's father, and the crown prince Li Chengqian rose up to kill and quell the rebellion and revitalize the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, the process may be tortuous, and it may leave some indecent records or be criticized. But thousands of years later, the years have changed, and the truth has long been blurred.
The change of the father and the emperor Xuanwu Sect killed his brother and killed his brother, and persecuting the monarch's father was also a great rebellion, but after more than ten years of cover-up and hard work, who still mentions those unbearable pasts? Who doesn't say that His Majesty the Emperor is wise and martial?
is still the same sentence, the winner is the prince and the loser! In the royal family, it is the saint who succeeds and the loser dies!
What the father can do, he can also do, as for unfilial piety...... It's no wonder that the son, if it weren't for the fact that his father favored Li Tai and others excessively, and forced himself to the point where he is now, he wouldn't have done this.
So in the end, I don't blame myself entirely, in order to survive, for the sake of my life, I have to do this! Li Chengqian clenched his fists and his expression was cold, and he made a crucial decision. (To be continued.) )
