Chapter 115: Seizure of power
Li Yuan and Li Ji were so shocked that they couldn't speak, and looked at the sixth brother in front of them blankly, as if looking at a stranger.
Every word Li Long said was like the gentle younger brother before, seeing that his brother was going to suffer, he tried his best to plead with his father, and to outsiders, it was an act of filial piety, which was very moving.
In fact, every word is heart-wrenching, he is no longer the royal brother in terms of title, and has become the eldest brother and third brother of ordinary people, which is really intriguing.
He said that the third brother should not support the army and respect himself, but the eldest brother will not lie, for the sake of safety, he still has to check, this check, whether or not he can find out whether Li Ji has the self-respect of the army, his status must be greatly reduced, and it must leave a very bad impression in Li Zhi's heart.
This play is also for ministers and the people of the world, and those who have the heart to take refuge are all people who are red and white, who is willing to follow a prince who is suspected by the emperor, is his current basic formation, and he will also mess up.
He said that the eldest brother would not do most things, that is, a metaphor for the rag doll who was tired of winning, he was filial, he loved his dead mother, so he prayed for his mother, and his status was still after his mother's death, so he bewitched the concubine to harm the concubine.
In the end, he vouched for the two brothers, completely demonstrating his benevolence and tolerance, this is the characteristics of being a prince and a king, and also faintly said that Li Yuan and Li Ji's lives were saved by him, and others sounded and passed on, and his status as King Chen was suddenly higher than that of King Liang and King Jing.
Li Yuan and Li Ji just blindly thought about how Li Long used to be, but they didn't expect that Li Long was a scholar, a person who read poetry and books, and a learned person.
Let's ask this kind of person, how he has no ambition, how he has no knowledge, how he doesn't have sharp teeth, it's just that Li Long has not used it for too long, so that everyone thinks that he doesn't have these abilities.
Any man is a lion, as long as he encounters something that can stimulate his heart, a docile man can also become a beast, and the one who can inspire the ripples in Li Long's heart is Li Zhi's favored concubine.
Li Long actually met and fell in love with Concubine Yuan when she was thirteen years old, and he was also very ambitious at that time, thinking about making a career, and then embracing a beauty, and his life would be full.
As a result, his father Li Zhi also fell in love with this little beauty of Confucianism, and wanted to summon her into the palace.
Resistance is impossible, obedience is unwilling, two little lovers made a private appointment, to die and martyrdom, in the end, after all, it was young, or timid, in the end, Yiren became the concubine, became his nominal aunt.
The so-called first love is infinitely good, what you can't get is the most cherished, every time you enter the harem, you occasionally see Concubine Yuan, every time she is more beautiful than once, and every time she is more upset than once.
So, I simply gave up my ideals and hid in Akiyama Temple, where I read every day, often accompanied by green lights at night, and wanted to forget about Concubine Yuan, but there are some things, the more you deliberately forget, the more you prove that your heart can't let go.
Su Li learned about this, and just used a song "Touching the Fish" to gently tease, especially the beast can still be martyred, and the situation is very human, which aroused the regret in his heart, always thinking that if the two were martyred that day, there would be no future days when life was worse than death, and he couldn't watch his beloved girl stick to other men every day, sleeping with each other day and night.
Su Li also wrote him a story, at the beginning of the story, it was lightly mentioned that Li Zhi practiced "wedding dress magic", Xiucai does not go out, can know the world, no need to explain too much, Li Long read poetry and books, and read all the books in the palace, because he was very favored by the emperor, and even read some forbidden books.
He knew about the "wedding dress miracle", combined with Su Li's statement, as well as the deeds of the previous emperors of his Li family, he also guessed one or two, and he was even more sure at the moment.
Looking at it again, it was Su Li who carefully prepared the story about Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi for him, who had been reading for so many years, and his comprehension ability was incomparable, and he could see the clues at a glance.
Su Li's meaning is obvious, his father will die in a few years because of the relationship between cultivating the "wedding dress magic skill", after he dies, leaving a concubine who is about twenty years old, the end will definitely be bleak, even if it is not desolate, it is difficult for ordinary people to be widowed for decades.
If you become an emperor, you can't mess around when you become an emperor, you can't mess around, but this story is very inspiring, let Concubine Yuan become a monk, and cut off the red dust when she leaves home, Concubine Yuan is naturally not Concubine Yuan, and she is not the concubine of the emperor, nor is she her aunt.
After three or two years, change your name and surname, and return to the vulgar, you can welcome it into the harem in a grand manner, and a lover will eventually become a dependent, as for the few years of the monk, as the emperor, he will have a private meeting, and what is the matter, anyway, such a thing, from ancient times to the present, has a great existence.
Su Li's story made his heart pound, and his longing for Concubine Yuan and his unerased ambition made him rekindle his fighting spirit and have the heart to compete with his two elder brothers.
Su Li launched a plan in a timely manner to catch the cicada and yellow finch behind the mantis, pushing the two strong contenders for the throne into a situation where the snipe and mussels competed, and he Li Long came to a fisherman to benefit.
Su Li also made it clear on the spot what he wanted to get, a person is driven by interests in everything he does, the greater the risk, the greater the benefits, so the conditions for Su Li to leave are also very high, the higher the conditions, the more Li Long believes that the two hit it off, and they staged today's good show.
"Long'er has been well-behaved since he was a child, I think about it, he really hasn't asked me for anything since he was a child, today is the first time to ask me, little Baozi, do you think I should refuse? It seems that I don't care about the people's feelings, don't you refuse, and don't seem to talk about the law, little treasure, what do you think? ”
"Your Majesty, the servants think that the law is nothing more than human affection, Your Majesty, you have always been benevolent, and today's affairs are actually very chaotic, there is no reason, the princes are young, and the farce is completely a farce."
"Well, Xiao Baozi said it was a farce, and I also thought it was a farce, but as a prince, you can't act arbitrarily because you are young, Yuan'er, from today onwards, you are not allowed to leave the prince's mansion at one step, and give me a good closed door for three months!"
"The courtier's order!"
Su Li couldn't help but secretly admire, this Li Yuan is really a character, today he knew that he had lost, and there was no possibility of reversing the defeat, so he immediately accepted defeat and minimized the loss.
Eunuch Bao is really a character next to Li Zhi, and every word he says can really determine life and death, and can change Li Zhi's decision.
"Father, the prince has to think about it behind closed doors for three months, but the prince already has to perform a lot of duties, and it is inconvenient to think about it behind closed doors, whether his duties should be taken by others."
Listening to Li Ji jumping out impatiently, Li Yuan smiled in his heart, "He is really a pustule, and he has not yet made his own affairs clear, so he came to covet my affairs, it seems that I have always regarded you as a competitor, which is a big mistake." Well, the real opponent is only emerging at this moment, sixth brother, it really made me look away, but it's okay, compared to you have been hidden, not being detected, at this moment, the knife is clear, but it is not so threatening. ”
Sure enough, Li Zhi listened to it and "hummed", and Li Ji immediately realized his stupidity.
"What Jill said is also reasonable, but the duties performed by the prince still have to be fulfilled by the prince, the so-called justification, little treasure, you inform all parties, if there is anything that needs to be handled by the prince, report directly to the prince's mansion."
Li Yuan was happy in his heart, and secretly thanked Li Ji, who was remorseful.
"However, there are some things that do have to be performed, such as commanding the forbidden army, well......"
Li Yuan was shocked in his heart, this is his only force, and commanding the forbidden army, in the battle for the throne, is a very favorable factor, especially at a critical time, he can control the imperial city, control the ministers of the court, and the princes and concubines in the palace.
Li Ji was happy in his heart, his heart was pounding, Li Yuan couldn't lead the forbidden army, how to say that he was in charge, although it was three months, some things, as long as they were handed over and wanted to take them back, it would become impossible.
"After all, the forbidden army has always been under the command of Yuan'er, and if you want to hand it over to others, you have to listen to his opinion, and he just said that he has always wanted Long'er to share his worries, so okay, Long'er, can you share Yuan'er's worries?"
"Huh?"
Li Ji froze, but this time he held back and didn't argue.
"Father, the courtiers can only read, not lead the army, if they lead the forbidden army, I am afraid it will be difficult to take on the heavy responsibility."
Li Yuan and Li Ji breathed a sigh of relief, but Su Li smiled and said in his heart: "This Li family, sure enough, none of them are good at stubble. ”
"But for the son of man, as a brother, as a minister, you can't be a father and a brother, and the courtiers are also reading the sages in vain, father, the courtiers will take the order, but the courtiers have words first, if they are incompetent, after three months, they must be handed back to the eldest brother, when the time comes, you can not cure my crimes, I am just a scholar, I can't lead the army."
"Hahahaha! Little Baozi, fortunately, you don't usually go to Qiushan Temple, otherwise, I would have thought that Long'er's slippery head was learned from you. ”
"Your Majesty, how can King Chen be a slippery head, he is just loyal, and a slave is not a slippery head, he is just loyal."
Su Li nodded secretly, "Li Long's trick is good, retreating is advancing, but in fact, there is a hidden killing intention, which is equivalent to saying that after three months, this military power cannot be handed over, and Li Zhi's attitude can be regarded as acquiescence." ”
"Long'er, what you said yourself, you have to bear it for the third brother, well, the third brother's affairs are also handed over to you, investigate the population of Peizhou and Huangzhou, you give me a good investigation, and return your third brother a clean slate."
"Father, you are going to crush the ministers, the ministers are having a headache for the matter of commanding the forbidden army, and you have added another burden, hey, the ministers are self-inflicted, who told them to boast about Haikou, then okay, the ministers should do their best, but, father, you also have to send more people to help the ministers."
He wanted Su Li to help, so that he could improve Su Li's status and assist him in the future.
Su Li was bitter in his heart. "Don't!"
