[Chapter 41: Sacrificing Affection and Taking Power] (1)
Li Ye's eyebrows frowned: "If Wang Shilang has something, you might as well tell me first, if I can't answer, you can come back to the Five Kings' Mansion." β
Wang Ju didn't expect Li Ye to reply like this, and said for a while: "This ......"
The corners of Li Ye's lips raised: "Wang Shilang has something unspeakable, can he open his mouth when he sees my distinguished guest, but I can't?" β
"Wang didn't dare, the king laughed." Wang Ju thought about it, and finally said, "Then ask the king to inquire on behalf of Wang, did that distinguished guest ever want to come over?" β
If he can unite with her this time, he will always have a chance to become an important minister of the country, under one person, above ten thousand, and complement each other, she can also stand firm, no longer dispensable for the Son of Heaven.
But I heard Li Ye say: "She has her own ideas in the future, and I can't control it, so naturally I don't need Wang Shilang to bother." β
Wang Ju could see that Li Ye did not deliberately make things difficult for him, that is to say, what Li Ye said was the truth. But she almost became an abandoned son of the Son of Heaven, and this action eliminated her completely, if this time it succeeded, for her, there will never be such a good opportunity to make great contributions in the future, she does not unite with foreign ministers, what else can she claim?
Li Ye had left beside him, and Wang Ju couldn't figure it out, so he had to start with a coup d'Γ©tat.
The second year of the first day, the second day of the seventh month.
Although Cui Xiang is a staff member of Princess Taiping, his younger brother Cui Di is loyal to Li Longji. This is more common in troubled times, after all, the Qinghe Cui clan is a big family, and each camp has its own people, no matter which camp wins, the impact on the family will not be too great. Cui Di is different from his eldest brother Cui Xiang, he is a cheerful and talkative person, and his official position is still low, so although Li Longji trusts him, he didn't tell him about such a strict matter as the coup, and only found Cui Xiang through him.
Cui Di was very worried about Li Longji's situation, so he eagerly helped him with this, and dragged Cui Yu over.
At this sensitive moment, Cui Xiang didn't want to come, but he couldn't resist his younger brother, and he was also a little curious about Li Longji's reason for looking for him, so he finally came, but he didn't want Li Longji to open his mouth to let him change camps and switch to the command of the Son of Heaven.
Cui Xiang: "......"
Isn't the Son of Heaven stupid?
Knowing that he can't do it, does the saint really want to give it a try, if he really "knows the current affairs", the saint will have a turnaround, or is the saint completely powerless to fight back, and can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor?
Cui Yu turned his head and saw that his younger brother Cui Di was also confused, and he knew that he had heard correctly, because he had never thought that Li Longji would say such a thing to himself, and his brain was blank for a while, and he couldn't answer anything.
But he knows that he and Princess Taiping are not only the relationship between the staff and the lord, but also the relationship between skin and skin, whether it is official or emotional, the accumulation of these years has already made him inseparable from Princess Taiping, let him leave Princess Taiping and turn to others, it is better to look forward to the snow in June, and hope to come bigger.
Therefore, no matter how the younger brother followed Li Longji and persuaded each other, Cui Xiang always talked about him left and right, and never let go. After half an hour, Li Longji finally gave up and let Cui Yu go back.
Seeing the eldest brother breathing a sigh of relief and fleeing in a hurry after saluting, Cui Di, who had been a little unable to interject, blinked, feeling a little strange. Looking back at the saint leisurely with his hands behind his back and a smile on his lips, the strange feeling in Cui Di's heart became more and more obvious - when the saint let the eldest brother go, he was too free and happy, and when he persevered, he was like two people.
What the hell is going on?
Cui Di just wanted to ask, so he heard Li Longji say: "Jiulang is cautious, there are some things, you still don't know, don't speak well." β
Cui Di's favorite thing about Li Longji is obedience. When he heard this, he immediately pretended that nothing had happened, as if he had just come to say hello, and gave up.
In the Mingde Palace, Li Longji stroked the territory of the Tang Dynasty, looked at it steadily, calmed down for a long time, and sighed in a low voice: "Auntie, I'm sorry......"
In the palace of Princess Zhenguo, Princess Taiping is leisurely arranging flowers. This summer peony blooms the most, today she is interested, but let people find some dead branches to match, but also have a charm. Listening to Cui Xiang's words and everything that happened in the Mingde Hall today, the withered branch in Princess Taiping's hand was broken in half.
Hearing Cui Xiang's constant sarcastic ridicule in her ears, Princess Taiping looked down at the broken branch in her hand a little dazed, and sighed lightly for a long time, saying: "Summer is the time when all living beings are most vigorous, and it is not easy to find dead branches. But even if it is already a dead branch, no matter how much water and soil cultivation there is, I am afraid that it will not be able to rejuvenate. Saburo is ...... right now It's like this dead branch. β
Cui Xiang said: "Since this is the case, princess, it is better for us to ......"
Princess Taiping stopped: "If I don't help, as far as San Lang is concerned, he will be killed." β
"But ......"
"Saburo is Jun after all. In the past, when I forced A-Niang to abdicate, I was also following the first emperor who was the crown prince, and now the emperor has not yet made a move, if I am restless, then what have I become, plotting rebellion? Can the Emperor still tolerate me? β
There is another point, Princess Taiping did not say it to Cui Yu - she and San Lang, after all, are aunts and nephews.
She doesn't help, it's for herself; Not falling into the well is to fulfill the relationship between blood and several times of intersection and comparison. The rest can only rely on Li Sanlang herself, whether she lives or dies, at least she will not intervene.
The second year of the first day, the third day of the seventh month.
Although Li Longji is the Son of Heaven, he doesn't do anything, he can really do what Cui Riyong said, just make a book next, and there is no need for any reason. This operation is even more so, it still needs to be famous. Li Fan and Li Ye brothers are already outside the palace and are in charge of Princess Taiping's related matters, and only Cui Riyong, Wang Ju and others came to the Mingde Palace. They were discussing what name to use, and a eunuch came to report: Wei Zhigu Wei Xianggong has visited.
Wei Zhigu entered through the side door, mysterious and cautious. Cui Riyong and Wang Ju immediately looked at Li Longji sensitively, and saw that Li Longji had no surprise on his face, as if he had already known that Wei Zhigu would come, and immediately relieved half of his heart - as expected by the two of them, Wei Zhigu was already inclined to the Son of Heaven, and Guo Yuanzhen should not be far from ten.
It is best that the Son of Heaven acts carefully and properly and does not fall behind in his strategy. It's just that Wei Zhigu is just a good person, then Guo Yuanzhen is famous for his arrogant and paranoid personality, acting differently from ordinary people, not so easily flexible, how did the Son of Heaven bring him over?
Li Longji took in everyone's expressions, and felt a little proud in his heart. If you rely on the courtiers to raise everything and do nothing yourself, what is the difference between it and the Adou who can't be supported, how can you serve the public? He wants to overcome everything, and in the future, he will lead these courtiers and govern the Tang Dynasty into a prosperous monarch, and there must always be some respectable advantages, such as excellent wisdom and strategy and the ability to know people well.
When Wei Zhigu first became the prime minister, Li Longji contacted him more or less deeply, and the relationship has become closer and closer in recent years, and Wei Zhigu is loyal to the emperor, since Li Dan is already the emperor, in his opinion, the power should have been handed over to Li Longji, let alone Princess Taiping?
As for Guo Yuanzhen, Li Dan asked him to return to Chang'an in order to promote him to prime minister, which Li Longji was clear, so when Guo Yuanzhen just arrived in Chang'an, Li Longji contacted him as the emperor, but he never got the feedback he wanted. It was not until the last few days that Guo Yuanzhen officially became the prime minister that he officially expressed his position to him.
This is also thanks to someone who was recuperating from his injuries at Wulang's house, and Li Longji also wanted to know how she met Guo Yuanzhen's appetite and hit it with one blow.
Speaking of which, he hadn't seen her for more than twenty days. From knowing her to now, it seems that he has never been separated for such a long time, although Li Longji is angry with her, I have to say that he misses her very much. He hated himself for being so uncompetitive, and he was helpless to be affectionate and not known, but what could he do? After accumulating all these days, all the things I want to say to her, let's wait until the matter is done.
When we meet again, I hope she has figured out what she did wrong and don't make him angry again. She is the biggest handle of a woman is still in his hands, if she can't even think of these things clearly, he has no choice but to make up his mind to marry her, lest she harm the court in the future.
After Wei Zhigu's visit, he vividly reported that Princess Taiping planned to launch a rebellion on the fourth day of this month, that is, tomorrow, and instructed Chang Yuankai and Li Ci to lead the Yulin army to break into the Wude Palace, and sent Dou Huaizhen, Xiao Zhizhong, Cen Xi and others to raise troops in Nanya to respond!
