Chapter 233: Rebellion
Chapter 233 Rebellion
Li Zhi laughed in a low voice, he had always known that Yongning was different, but he had never felt her unusualness so clearly as at this moment. He knew very well that Yongning didn't understand the meaning of the existence of a father who was the prime minister to her, but she didn't seem to have thought of using such external conditions to balance the relationship between her and him.
He had never been so sure as he was at this moment, Yongning treated his feelings as he treated Yongning. Over the years, in this relationship, he has always been chasing, but Yongning is hesitating, hesitating, and even dodging...... This has more or less left some marks in his heart, and he is often unconfident, Yongning stayed, Yongning married him, was it out of his heart, or forced by the situation......
Even though Yongning has behaved very differently since he entered the palace, dependence, trust, and solidarity, she gave him all the things he had looked forward to, but deep in his heart, there was still a voice quietly questioning ...... At this time, Yongning's understatement made Li Zhi suddenly enlightened, not for power, not for wealth, so in addition to being because of him, why would Yongning stay here?
"Ah Fang ......" Li Zhi hugged Yongning hard, rubbed his chin lightly on the top of her head, and said: "Now that I think about it, if my father-in-law resigns, there is really nothing bad, if so, your family's Saburo's wish to open a academy can be done first with the prestige of my father-in-law......"
"That's ......" Yongning's attention was suddenly attracted by Li Zhi's thoughts, and he said with a smile: "My father is very protégé, and he is very fond of being idle at home, and he keeps his own door behind closed doors...... In this way, my father will not be too idle, but he will not be tired, but it is a good way to relieve boredom...... Kuro, if his father's academy really opens, then let Gorou go to his father's academy to study, okay? ”
"You" Li Zhi couldn't help laughing, patted Yongning's head, and said: "It's really said that the wind is the rain, and this is still a matter of not even a shadow...... Moreover, this prince is going to study at Hongbunkan, and now Gorou is already different from others, if he makes an exception, it will inevitably be a little too much......"
Yongning also knew that the matter of running the academy would not be able to be tossed in two or three years, and I didn't know what the situation would be when the time came, so there was really no need to argue with Li Zhi about this matter now, she smiled lightly, and then changed the topic: "Just now you said that my father wants to force the eldest grandson Wuji to resign together, what does this mean?" ”
Among the key points that Li Zhi has been pondering during this time, there is the eldest grandson's family, and since he said such things today, it must be that the matter is nearing the end, and it is time to deal with it. It's just that Yongning still doesn't understand what the eldest grandson Wuji has done, and what Fang Xuanling is planning to do......
Li Zhi snorted coldly and said: "My father has always been kind to heroes, even if he has committed a big crime, he mostly reprimands a few words, and he is indifferent for a few days, and he often has a lot of comforting actions in private afterwards...... And I, although I also have a reputation among the ministers with the word 'benevolence', but I am a benevolent and weak 'benevolence', since I succeeded to the throne, they have acted more recklessly than their father when the emperor was there, probably really thinking that I am a benevolent and weak king who has no blood, and I want to be as lenient as my father......
Li Shimin is kind to the heroes, on the one hand, although it is true that he misses the old feelings, but more importantly, he can suppress these heroes, so as long as they do not cause too bad consequences, he is willing to endure many times...... But Li Zhi is different, on the one hand, those old ministers asked him to emulate Li Shimin's old system, but on the other hand, as if they had lost the prohibition, they acted unscrupulously, and did not take Li Zhi's bottom line into account at all.
As an emperor who gradually gathered power in his hands, how could Li Zhi tolerate such things happening again and again? It can even be said that the conflict between the old and the new is destined to be inevitable from the beginning, but if Li Zhi had expected that so many people would be involved at once in the end, he would probably choose to act earlier, kill the chickens and make an example, so that those princes who were dazzled by the past achievements could be sober
But now, it's too late to regret it. The matter was so widely implicated that even a person like Fang Xuanling couldn't help frowning, but it took some effort to clean up this mess.
Yongning listened to Li Zhi's pure complaint, but didn't say a word about the truth, couldn't help but sigh lightly, held his hand, and didn't interject, just waiting for Li Zhi to continue to vent this anger that I don't know how long it had been suffocating in his heart.
"Originally, I thought that the eldest grandson Wuji must have participated in it this time, but no matter how much I investigated, I couldn't find any evidence of his involvement...... In such a situation, there is a crime of Lianlian, hindering his identity, but it is not appropriate to put it on him, but if he can't take this opportunity to clear him from the court, if he meditates and dormants for a few years, just wait, only wait for his father-in-law...... At that time, I am afraid that no one will be able to balance him, and it will be even more difficult for me to be the emperor......" Li Zhi said while rubbing his eyebrows, he has been really sad about this matter recently, although Fang Xuanling has proposed a solution, but it has not really reached the end, where can he really feel at ease?
Yongning sighed again, from Li Shimin's actions back then, it could not be seen that he was using the Fang family to balance the eldest grandson's family, but this balance is not indefinite, after all, Fang Xuanling's age is there, even if he can help Li Zhi, the time is not too long. In a way, this should also be a test for Li Shimin to Li Zhi.
In the first few years of succession, it is necessary to suppress a group of old ministers, although it is difficult, but it is not too difficult, but there is still Li Zhi's own uncle among these old ministers, and there are too many variables in between. The history is like a knife, some reputations are absolutely not suitable for being recorded in the emperor's record, and the word "righteous annihilation" is placed in some places, and it is definitely not a compliment.
Sometimes Yongning will also feel sorry for the eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest grandson's family will come to this step, it can be said that it is a wrong step, and it is a wrong step. If it weren't for his thoughts, he tied the eldest grandson family to many family valves, with his relationship with Li Shimin and Li Zhi's blood relationship, it would not be difficult to ensure the peace of the eldest grandson family. But now he has no choice to make anymore, the family valve behind him will not allow him to retreat, and Li Zhi will not allow it either......
Although Li Zhi still didn't say what happened, Yongning had already vaguely guessed some clues, but these things were handled by someone, and she just tried her best to take care of the child. She didn't have any contact with the Fang family, with Fang Xuanling here, she would make proper arrangements, so she didn't have to worry about it.
The atmosphere in the palace gradually depressed, even the young Qinhua was much quieter, and would no longer make trouble to go out to play, and stayed in the house with Yongning every day, fiddling with the children's educational toys specially prepared for her by Yongning, such as puzzles, picture literacy and other gadgets with excellent visual effects.
Li Cong's class has also been stopped by Li Zhi in the past few days on the grounds that the weather is too hot, and he also follows Yongning every day and buries himself in the homework left by Fang Xuanling. And Yongning is more often used by his son directly as an encyclopedia of knowledge, no matter what kind of question it is, as long as he can't find the answer, he will throw it to Yongning, and those questions are often from a child's point of view after understanding, often Yongning is confused, I don't know why.
Li Zhi would come over every night to accompany Yongning's mother and son to eat together, and he would spare a little time to talk to them after dinner. At this time, Yongning usually pulls Li Zhi to complain, how her son embarrasses her during the day, what does her daughter do that makes her heart beat faster, and so on, trying to use such a warm plot to make Li Zhi more relaxed.
Li Zhi did fall in love with this kind of communication, although he was busy and didn't have time to get along with the children, but through Yongning's complaints, the children asked him for comfort aggrievedly, and the relationship between them was deeper, and even quietly imprinted in his heart - they are a real family, a happy life for a family of four......
Perhaps it was precisely because of his belief in protecting his wife and children that he had strengthened his belief in protecting his wife and children, and Li Zhi, who was quite indecisive in his usual manner, was much more decisive this time, which impressed many close ministers who had been with him for a long time.
At the end of July, Hou Junji reversed. Perhaps he despised the protective measures of the Lishan Palace, he only brought 5,000 soldiers and horses when he forced the palace, although among the courtiers who accompanied him, there were many people who conspired with him, and he did pass a lot of news for him, but he didn't understand until he was taken down by the deputy general around him, and everything was in Li Zhi's control.
A rebellion that was ended like child's play, and Li Zhiyubi identified seven heroes as the mastermind, although they were not of the nine clans, they were also slaughtered. And those who followed were even involved in more than a hundred people, dozens of families, although Li Zhi also had a mercy, but near the guillotine set up in the downtown area, the blood stains soaked in the ground have not disappeared for many years.
What many people expected was that the eldest grandson's family escaped a catastrophe, although the eldest grandson's nephews, including Princess Changle's ex-husband Changsun Quan, were beheaded and lost more than ten people, but in the final analysis, the foundation of the eldest grandson family was not touched at all......
