Chapter 183: The Beginning of the Layout (Part I)

The six years of being without an owner in the harem is not only inconsistent with etiquette, but also contradicts the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and sooner or later there will be chaos, Li Zhen knows this in his heart, but Li Zhen knows more clearly that the status of the eldest grandson queen in Li Shimin's mind is irreplaceable - in the past six years, no child has been born in the harem, and no concubine can be favored is proof, as far as Li Zhen knows, in the time and space he came from, since the death of the eldest grandson queen Li Shimin has not been established again, but now history has long been stirred up by Li Zhen beyond recognition, Li Zhen didn't dare to guarantee whether the old man would be forced to stand under pressure from all sides, so as soon as he returned to the mansion and listened to Nalong's situation report, Li Zhen fell into deep thought and didn't say a word for a long time.

Empress? Sister-in-law? Hey,, that's a tempting thing. Li Zhen didn't think about arching Concubine Yan to the throne of the queen, although he never revealed such thoughts in front of people, even in front of the two strategists Li Zhen never showed such thoughts, but in his heart he never thought about this possibility - Li Zhen wants to enter the East Palace, the biggest obstacle is the identity of the concubine, in such a long time, the identity of no concubine is really a troublesome thing, not to mention that in the support of the courtiers to fall behind, that is, in the public opinion of the people and even the attitude of the family, it will suffer a big loss. The experience of Li Ke, the king of Wu, has well illustrated this point - regardless of his own ability, age, talent or political achievements, Li Ke is far above Li Tai, the king of Wei, but Li Ke has been busy for more than ten years, but his power in the court is far inferior to Li Tai, and there is only one reason for this - Li Tai is the son-in-law, Li Ke is not! It is precisely because of this that the two strategists of Mo Li and Na Long will put forward a roundabout strategy, which is of course the reason why Li Shimin cannot tolerate the strong prince, but it is more concerned about the problem of the concubine, if the concubine can be arched to the queen's throne, the problem of the concubine will naturally be solved, as for the old man's desire for power, it is not very difficult for Li Zhen, after all, Li Zhen was a long-sleeved master who was good at dancing in his previous life, and it was still very easy to play some tricks such as retreating. How can I survive until the day when the old man's life is exhausted.

Thinking about it, whether it can be done is another matter, regardless of whether Concubine Yan has such thoughts, not to mention whether Li Shimin's side can get by, even if the old man is willing to nod and agree to this matter, it is also a difficult thing to get the support of the courtiers, others don't say it, just the eldest grandson Wuji will definitely not be able to pass, even if Li Zhen is now famous in the war and has gradually gained prestige in the army, it can be compared with the power of the eldest grandson Wuji in the court, it is by no means a little bit worse, besides, Li Zhen's power in the army is far less invincible than before Li Shimin ascended the throne, and the result of rash action can only be a broken head.

The Tang Dynasty military system is complex, there are many generals, and its origin is also very complicated, but according to the background, it can be roughly divided into five categories - the Wagang faction headed by Li Ji and Cheng Zhijie; the clan faction headed by Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong; the former Great Sui generals led by Li Jing and Xue Wanche; The Guanzhong faction dominated by Hou Junji, Duan Zhixuan and others, and then there is a new powerful faction, most of which are newly emerged generals in the wars over the years, but because of the abounding of veterans and famous generals in the DPRK, the strength of this faction is very weak, and it has not formed a group, and most of them are planned to be under the top four factions.

Since the rebellion of Hou Junji, many generals of the Guanzhong faction have been involved, and many people have been killed and demoted. Li Xiaogong retired to the mountains and forests, Li Daozong entered the Ministry of Rites, and the rest of the grandmaster's children did not become a climate, only Li Zhen was a special case, so most of the clansmen's children in the army in this faction were devoted to Li Zhen, which was a power that Li Zhen could use; Because of Qin Shubao, Li Zhen has an excellent relationship with the generals from Wagang, but these veterans are all Li Shimin's descendants, although they may not be embarrassed Li Zhen, but it is impossible to expect them to come forward to support Li Zhen, the only one who can help Li Zhen speak, and the only one who has influence is Qin Huaiyu, as for Li Jing, he has long ignored government affairs, plus he is old and old, even if he is willing to help, Li Zhen will never want to be tired of his teacher, and Xue Wanche does not have much contact with Li Zhen, On the contrary, he has some dealings with Li Ke, and he can't count on it, so he will get up, although Li Zhen can encircle a large number of young generals, but there are not many people who can really speak in the court, of course, compared to other brothers, Li Zhen's strength in the army is still the first, even if those generals don't help Li Zhen, they will definitely not help other princes, this Li Zhen is still sure, but the trouble lies in the civilian system, although Li Zhen has worked hard to install people in the court, I also got a lot of official positions from a few brothers, the problem is that these people are all middle- and lower-level officials, although they are all very talented, and sooner or later they will be able to get ahead, but after all, they can't count on it at the moment.

After analyzing all the strength of his family, Li Zhen reluctantly admitted that in terms of current strength, there is no possibility of wrestling with Li Shimin, and the probability of success is almost negligible. dealt with the battle for the heir first, but never thought that there would be chaos in the palace so quickly, but Li Zhen was surprised, smelling a hint of conspiracy, but also vaguely saw a glimmer of opportunity, of course, Li Zhen was not thinking about how to take the opportunity to push Concubine Yan to the throne of the queen, but thinking about whether he could take this opportunity to abolish the eldest grandson's family, even if it was greatly weakened, it was a great thing.

For all princes who are aspiring to win the heir, the eldest grandson Wuji is an unavoidable behemoth, and he is definitely the kind of character who must be eliminated if he can't use it for himself, even if Li Tai and Li Zhi are also the same as the sons-in-law, others may not know, but Li Zhen knows - although the eldest grandson Wuji has not expressed his support for any prince so far, the candidate in his mind is definitely Li Zhi, not all because of Li Zhi's identity as a son-in-law, but because of Li Zhi's incompetence and cowardice, which is easy to control, This is related to whether the eldest grandson family can continue to be prosperous and rich in the post-Li Shimin era, of course, Li Zhen also knows that in the time and space he came from, the eldest grandson Wuji was successful, but unfortunately in the end, Wu Zetian picked the fruits of victory and ended up in a different place, the problem is that Li Zhen knows this result, but the eldest grandson Wuji can't see it, how can he use such a seemingly ridiculous "reason" to persuade the eldest grandson Wuji, it is strange not to be regarded as a madman, besides, Li Zhen and the eldest grandson family still have a "grudge against the wife", There is not the slightest possibility of reconciliation between them.

If reconciliation fails, there is no possibility of co-opting, so there is only one way left, but if you want to think about it, whether you can do it is another thing - if you want to completely get rid of a person, the best way is naturally to eliminate it from the **, and it will be a hundred, but this method is difficult to work - although the eldest grandson family has secretly mastered many masters, Li Zhen's martial arts plus the "Rising Sun" in his hand, if he fights to the death, it may not be impossible to succeed, but what about after it is done? Let's not talk about how much trouble it will cause if the assassination of characters like the eldest grandson Wuji will cause it, Li Zhen does not have the slightest confidence that he can be completely hidden, once the old man knows, the fun will be boundless, the abolition of the lord is still a trivial matter, and the possibility of losing his head is very high, besides, even if he can get rid of the eldest grandson Wuji unknowingly, it will not be possible - Li Zhen's power in the court is far less than that of Li Tai and Li Ke, and if he gets rid of the eldest grandson Wuji, he will not necessarily fall into his own arms as soon as the crown prince is removed. If it is won by other brothers, it will not be a loss to the wife and a soldier, this road obviously will not work!

can't be killed, and can't be wooed, there is actually only one choice left, that is, to start from the court, try to make the eldest grandson Wuji fall out of favor, and then attack the power of the eldest grandson family step by step, as much as possible to weaken the influence of the eldest grandson family in the court, if the time is ripe, Li Zhen doesn't mind charging the eldest grandson family with a crime of rebellion, completely erasing them from this world, the problem is that the idea is beautiful, but the road is tortuous, I hope it is not nothing, but, it is so weak that it is almost negligible- In Li Shimin's mind, the eldest grandson Wuji is not only the brother of the eldest grandson queen, without him, Li Shimin has only two close friends in his life, one is Liu Wenjing, who was beheaded by Li Yuan, and the other is the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin's ability to achieve today's hegemony can be said to be inseparable from the strong support of the eldest grandson Wuji, therefore, its weight in Li Shimin's heart is only afraid of exceeding the princes, and moreover, the eldest grandson Wuji is not the kind of person who climbs to a high position by relying on the relationship of relatives, Not to mention his own outstanding talents, he is also very honest, not only his own cautious self-cultivation, but also his sons are also careful people, never make mistakes, as for bribery and illegal things, there has never been a maggot, if you want to give the eldest grandson Wuji maggots, the difficulty is really too high, unless it is planted, the trouble is that this stolen goods are not easy to plant, at least not by Li Zhen's people to plant, otherwise once exposed, even if Li Zhen is a prince, he can't afford it.

As long as Li Zhen still wants to enter the East Palace, or even wants to ascend to the throne, he must try his best to defeat the eldest grandson Wuji, this is a definite thing, however, according to Li Zhen's original plan, he did not plan to make a move immediately, in addition to the fact that the time is not yet ripe, the main thing is that Li Zhen is not completely sure that he can achieve this in his heart, but now the movement of the harem has made Li Zhen see the hope - although Li Zhen does not know what Yang Shufei and Li Ke talked about, But in Li Zhen's opinion, Yang Shufei's heart to be a queen is definitely not a fake, and other concubines may not have such thoughts, so there will definitely be a mess in the harem, Li Tai and Li Zhi, who are sisters-in-law, cannot not be involved, and the eldest grandson Wuji is impossible to stay out of the way, on the surface, the three nephews and uncles will definitely form a unified alliance and swear to defend the status of the dead eldest grandson queen, however, the way between the three is not the same, If it is to provoke or even take advantage of the chaos to make a black hand for Li Zhen, it is not necessarily a difficult thing for Li Zhen, once he can successfully turn Li Tai's spearhead to the eldest grandson Wuji, the matter will be sure of success, and now the most critical question is whether Li Ke will move, and how to move, only by understanding all this, can we anticipate the enemy's opportunity first.

"Will the third child move?" After Li Zhen thought about all the things she could think of, she opened her mouth to ask, although her face was calm, but her voice couldn't help but reveal a little expectation.

Mo Li and Na Long are both wise men in the world, what Li Zhen thought of, they naturally thought of it, and they also understood the meaning of the harem battle in front of them, as soon as they heard Li Zhen's words, they knew what Li Zhen was going to do, but it was a big matter, and one mistake would be a complete loss, so the two did not immediately open their mouths, and after pondering for a while, Na Long took the lead in speaking: "Your Royal Highness, according to a certain opinion, His Royal Highness King Wu is still in the second place, and I am afraid that there is something else in the harem rebellion. Hu Songqi is probably the key to this. ”

"Strange? Well, this king also thinks that something is not quite right, and this thing is really too coincidental, well, it seems that the fourth guy is only afraid of some tricks and feet in it, what does this guy want to do? Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that Hu Youde's uncle and nephew were both characters on Li Tai's side, and suddenly secretly woke up and hurriedly asked.

"Nothing, left and right are just killing three birds with one stone." Mo Li smiled, shook the feather fan in his hand, and said with a smile.

Three eagles? Oh, damn it, good boy, I was almost blinded by the fourth guy! Li Zhen's heart moved, and he already understood the meaning of what Mo Li said - if Li Shimin really stood up, the first unlucky person to bear the brunt was Li Tai, and then the eldest grandson Wuji, as for Li Zhi, who had not grown feathers at this time, could not be spared, in this way, Li Tai and the eldest grandson Wuji have a common enemy, and they will join forces to resist the enemy. This has to be built on the basis of the old man's unintentional establishment, judging from the current situation, Li Tai has a great chance of succeeding, this is an eagle; Second, once the battle of the harem is brought to the surface, it will inevitably form a battle between Concubine Yan and Concubine Yang Shu, even if Concubine Yan does not want to move, under the impetus of many "people with hearts", it is difficult to be alone, if so, Li Zhen and Li Ke and even Li Su, the king of Shu, will inevitably produce irreconcilable contradictions, once the contradiction intensifies, there will be no possibility of joining forces against Li Tai, which gives Li Tai the opportunity to break through, this is the second eagle; Third, once the concubines of the harem fail, they will inevitably fall out of favor with Li Shimin completely, so that even if Li Zhen and Li Ke have not been involved, they will have to play all the way - once the power of the harem really falls into the hands of Li Tai, although Li Tai may not be able to take this opportunity to control the harem, it is still easy to cut off the internal aid of Li Ke and other brothers, once this is the case, with the support of the courtiers, even if the old man is full of fear of Li Tai, it is difficult to disobey the hearts of the important ministers, this third eagle is the old man himself!

Damn, the fourth child of the dog day, what a vicious trick! Li Zhen strung all the clues together, and immediately gasped, secretly frightened that he almost fell into the trap, frowned and thought about it: "What Mr. Mo said this king knows in his heart, and now it seems that the plan has to fall on Hu Youde's uncle and nephew, well, but what will the third one do?" ”

Seeing that Li Zhen retracted his blind thoughts, although Mo Li and Na Long were speechless, they both showed a relieved look on their faces, looked at each other, and after exchanging glances, Na Long said: "Your Highness, what you can think of, you may not be able to think of it when you think of King Wu, but according to a certain opinion, His Royal Highness King Wu is only afraid that he will still make a move." ”

"Huh?" Li Zhen looked at Na Long in a daze, with a puzzled look on her face, but she didn't ask questions immediately.

Na Long shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Shi Ye, the momentum is also, His Royal Highness King Wu is afraid that there is no room for choice - in terms of power, he is not as good as King Wei, and in terms of prestige and talent, he is not as good as His Royal Highness, if you want to enter the East Palace, in addition to taking risks, I am afraid that there may not be a second way to go, besides, His Royal Highness King Wu has never been a mediocre talent who sits and waits to be killed, and it is inevitable to make a move, and now the only thing that cannot be determined is how His Royal Highness King Wu intends to act!" ”

Not bad! It's this reason, although the third guy has always been forbearing, but he is not an incompetent person, and he will not retreat from the current situation, besides, although the fourth bastard's hand is vicious, it may not be able to win, and the third child is not without a chance to win when he is rich and dangerous, but where will this kid start? Li Zhen's mind moved quickly, and suddenly thought of something, his eyes flashed, and he looked at the two strategists and said, "If you take advantage of the situation, can you get rid of Hu Youde's uncle and nephew first?" ”

"There is such a possibility, but it depends on how big His Royal Highness King Wu's courage is, if it is not bad, His Royal Highness King Wu will definitely come to find His Royal Highness in one or two days, and then everything will be decided!" Before Na Long could speak, Mo Li replied with a smile.

"Well, in this situation, it's better to be still than to move, or wait and see, and it's not too much time to be left and right." Li Zhen nodded, and said calmly: "Pass the order: let the 'Yan Group' and the Gyeonggi Division start immediately, and keep an eye on the king everywhere in the Jingshi!" ”

As soon as Li Zhen's words fell, he saw Yan Shibai hurriedly walk in from outside, leaned over and whispered in Li Zhen's ear, which immediately made Li Zhen's face show a hint of surprise......
