Chapter 233 Follow the trend

Once many things are revealed, it is easy for people to smell abnormalities.

Especially the great things related to the inheritance of the throne have been highly concerned, and any abnormality will be seen by those who have a heart, and then infinitely magnified.

The crown prince Li Chengqian's performance has not been good this year, and the princes of the East Palace have no praise, and even His Majesty the Emperor is only dissatisfied. Approaching the end of the year, he suddenly issued an order to recall all the princes who were divided into seals to Chang'an.

Although there was no further action, it was already an extremely obvious signal in the eyes of many.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may have fallen out of favor, and even the East Palace storage position has a feeling of turmoil.

Especially on that day, the three older princes entered the Chengqing Hall to see the driver, and His Majesty Li Er greeted Li Ke, the king of Wu, and also favored Li Tai, the king of Wei, but he never expressed his position to the prince Li Chengqian, and he didn't even have a good face.

With such news, what will the ministers think?

Concubine Yang was an extremely intelligent person and immediately realized a lot of problems.

He has been in the palace for many years, and he is already sensitive to such political and court matters, and sometimes his eyes are better than those who are resourceful; At the same time, the husband and wife have been sharing the same bed for many years, and they can guess a little bit about the thoughts of their husband Li Shimin.

It was Concubine Yang who suddenly became worried and worried about her son's safety.

She is clearly aware of the fact that His Majesty Li Er is dissatisfied with the crown prince Li Chengqian is an indisputable fact, but does she really have the idea of abolishing the Lili?

I'm afraid not necessarily, an obvious signal, the situation in the Chengqing Palace is a palace secret, and the emperor's attitude towards the princes is even more important, how can it be easily leaked out of a major event related to the stability of the country?

The inner servants Gong'e and the Praetorian Guards waiting in the Chengqing Hall are all carefully selected people, and they are all tight-lipped and have no guts. I won't leak the inside information at all.

Did the princes do it? Obviously not, Li Chengqian will not spread this kind of news that is unfavorable to himself, Li Ke and Li Tai seem to have the possibility of spreading, but they are not stupid, it is taboo to leak the secret words of the king in the forbidden country, and the wise princes will definitely not do this way to die. Especially in the current fatal situation.

So the only answer is - Li Shimin himself!!

Thinking of this amazing answer, Concubine Yang's mood became even more solemn.

What is the emperor's intention in spreading such disturbing news and disrupting the government?

Does he intend to let the princes fight, or let the ministers, families, and even the clowns bounce?

In this case, the prince himself, as well as the people of the East Palace, must be nervous, in order to protect themselves. And to remove the threat, what will they do?

His own son Li Ke is so good, the eldest prince other than the prince, and he is extraordinary, he will inevitably be suspicious.

Li Tai, the king of Wei, was also a little cautious, and in the current situation, he would definitely be more and more unable to hold back, in addition to shaking the East Palace, what else would he do?

Exclude dissidents. Avoid making wedding clothes for others, someone as smart as Li Tai would definitely think of this.

One way or another. The princes who came out of the palace would say that their sons were regarded as a thorn in their side.

Concubine Yang naturally became more and more nervous in her heart, worried about her son's safety.

What made him even more uneasy was his son's thoughts, Concubine Yang could see that Li Ke had intentionally revealed some thoughts without opinions, and he didn't seem to be so peaceful.

Especially a few months ago, in order to rescue Xie Yi who was imprisoned. Cen Wenwen once had a long sigh with his son.

Although Cen Wenwen did not say it explicitly, he intentionally or unintentionally stirred up his son's originally peaceful heart.

At this point, there is no point in blaming Cen Wenwen, as a prince, it is impossible for his son to not have the slightest thought about the throne. Even if it's yourself. I also have some ideas.

It's just that when she thinks of her background, Concubine Yang feels a lot of helplessness in her heart.

She didn't know whether to let her son fight, whether it was better to fight or not to fight? What is even more unexpected is the mind of Emperor Li Shimin.

So, the blessings and misfortunes are unpredictable!

It is the most appropriate way to stand still, to wait for work, and to respond to changes with no change. Sometimes, however, this approach is the equivalent of sitting back and waiting.

With the current situation, since the emperor has conveyed his thoughts, the princes will definitely be intended, and there will definitely be many means to use them openly and secretly.

Will the son be able to withstand it? Whether it is the crown prince or the king of Wei, there is an uncle behind him, the eldest grandson Wuji, who has always regarded his son as a thorn in his side.

You don't need to make a move, you just need to use a little trick behind your back, even if your son still has his life, he will still be completely skinny. Even if there is His Majesty Li Er's protection now, what will be the fate in the future?

After the Sui and Tang dynasties, I have seen many times because of the competition for the prince and the bloodshed in the palace, not to mention the far away, the scene of the change of the husband Xuanwumen is still vivid.

What if this happened again, or if His Majesty Li Er died and killed each other?

In all dynasties, the princes fought each other at the beginning, squeezing their heads to ascend to the throne. is not unwilling, even if he accepts defeat, but the person who sits on the throne may not be at ease, so there are too many examples of killing brothers.

At that time, it was the swords of the people, and I was the fish and the meat, so I could only be slaughtered by others.

Will there be a day when my son will have that?

Concubine Yang naturally didn't want such a tragic scene, she had two sons, and if something happened, neither of the brothers would be able to save her.

On the other hand, this is also a great opportunity to fish in troubled waters, win in chaos, and seek a place, even ......

With the qualifications of his son Li Ke, he has this strength and talent, compared to the weak prince Li Chengqian, his son is much stronger than him. In Li Shimin's words, Li Ke is the prince who is most like him and has the most heroic spirit.

As for Li Tai, the king of Wei, although he is romantic, he is too calculating, and the pattern is too small, and it is not the best. If it weren't for the concubine born by Empress Nai's eldest grandson, where would he get so much favor and so many civil officials and scholars to support him?

Although he occupies the heir, his own son is the elder, and there are opportunities. If Li Ke can go to that position, then the youngest son Li Dian will also follow, at least safe.

How wonderful!

It's just that......

In any case, the premise of protecting the safety of his son is too great, and it may not be a good opportunity to make a rash move.

Especially now, I'm afraid it's too early, as the saying goes, it makes sense that the rafters rot first.

At least in the early stage, it is necessary to calm down, and Taoguang should be a good strategy.

The best strategy is to strike at the right time, or to compete with the clams for profit. The worst is that you can still exchange infighting for the hope of self-preservation. It's too presumptuous, and that's not going to die.

The most important thing is to find out the emperor's mind, Concubine Yang vaguely felt that His Majesty Li Er was in the chess game, and everyone was a chess piece. If the chess pieces want to survive and seek progress, they must know how to survive the chess pieces and know how to follow the trend.

Thinking of this, Concubine Yang made up her mind in her heart and admonished her son earnestly, every word was fine. (To be continued......)
