Chapter 301: Useless Descendants
Lu Dongzan threw away more than half of his people, and then got out of this matter, and sacrificed their most important partner in Datang, although Lu Dongzan's heart was uncomfortable, but judging from the current situation, he was able to get out by himself, which was already quite a difficult thing, and it was impossible to keep more.
According to Li Xiang's original idea, this guy should be left behind, but Li Xiang also analyzed his importance in the Tubo country, if this guy is left strongly, then the war between the two countries is definitely inevitable, his status in the Tubo country is equivalent to the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling combined, even if the Tubo people are no longer willing to go to war with the Tang Dynasty, but their prime minister died in the Tang Dynasty, is this war still far away?
"Can the Feng family have an explanation?"
It was Li Shimin who spoke, but when Lu Dongzan withdrew, more than 90% of the ministers also retreated, they all performed their duties, and now they all need to go to their own jobs to discuss the affairs of the entire Tang Dynasty, and only a small number of people are enough.
Lu Xiugang was the commander of the Imperial City Division, and Li Xiang had already handed over all the documents and evidence to him, and this matter had to be reported by him at this moment.
"Long live Qiyu, we have conducted surprise interrogations on some of them, and the conclusions we have obtained have been verified by us, most of them are true, and a small number of people want to confront the people of the Boling Cui family."
Lu Xiugang said very helplessly, if it were involved in other families, the people from the Imperial City Division would have surrounded them a long time ago, and they would have to come to arrest people, but when it comes to the Boling Cui family, they must get the emperor's order, otherwise this may be a civil strife, and it is the largest civil strife in the history of the Tang Dynasty, and it will even surpass the Xuanwumen Incident back then.
Hearing his subordinates' report like this, Li Shimin basically understood that we did not wronged the Boling Cui family, they were indeed secretly communicating with the Tubo State.
"Father, the son thinks that this matter is all on him, if there was no such big movement last night, he would not have placed the imperial court here, if we do it, once it fails, then our Tang Dynasty foundation is unstable, and it can even cause other major families to follow suit, but if we don't do it, then where is the majesty of the imperial court? Therefore, Erchen thinks that he should be punished, he forced Datang into such a dangerous situation, and his position as grandson should be abolished. ”
Li Tai was quiet for a while, and today he couldn't be quiet, he didn't speak just now, after a period of analysis, he thought that today was an opportunity, if he could pull Li Xiang down, maybe he would have a chance to ascend to the throne, but if Li Xiang had been sitting firmly in the East Palace, then his future results would be worrying.
"The second brother is right, Li Xiang's grasp of the current situation is too poor, if the Tang Dynasty is handed over to such a person, the entire foundation will soon be buried, and the achievements of his father and grandfather will be gone."
"Erchen reconsiders."
"Brother reconsideration..."
"Grandson's reconsideration..."
What surprised Li Shimin was that he originally wanted to solve the conflict with the Boling Cui family, which could not only take them down, but also ensure the stability of the Tang Dynasty, but he didn't expect such a bunch of people to suddenly pop up, they actually let themselves abolish Li Xiang's position as the grandson, do you people still have the Tang Dynasty in your hearts?
When Li Tai stood out just now, Li Xiang saw that there were many people eager to try, some people Li Xiang didn't know what they were doing at all, but he didn't expect to stand on the opposite side of himself at this time, in fact, this is also a very normal thing, after Li Xiang became the grandson, their life must be difficult, after all, they used to be the opposite of Li Chengqian, except for Li Ke, the king of Wu, almost all the princes and grandsons occupied the opposite side of Li Xiang.
The reason why these people stood in the innermost part of Li Xiang was that on the one hand, they were fooled by the Li Tai brothers, and on the other hand, they themselves could feel that once Li Xiang ascended to the throne, it would never be possible to keep their position of glory and wealth, because Li Xiang was very pragmatic, and when the royal family members increased, they would definitely be reduced in their treatment, and even let these people go to poor places, so Li Xiang would never be allowed to ascend to the throne.
Seeing that there were so many people opposing Li Xiang, the eldest grandson Wuji's face was relaxed, now he is already a person from Li Xiang's side, and he was still thinking about how to intercede for Li Xiang, but he didn't expect Li Tai, a stupid nephew, to assist again, you let Li Xiang occupy the opposite side of all the royal family members, and your father is the one who knows how to hoe the strong and help the weak.
The eldest grandson Wuji can be the first minister of the Zhenguan Dynasty, that is also for his reasons, his understanding of Li Shimin can be said to be perfect, Li Shimin saw so many people against Li Xiang, and he was a little protective in his heart, thinking about Li Xiang from the beginning to the present, almost everything he has done is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, what about you people, lying on the merit book every day to eat the old book, and this merit book is still Lao Tzu, and it has nothing to do with you.
"Enough ......"
There were other princes and grandsons who wanted to stand up, but after hearing the words Li Shimin, these people forcibly restrained their steps, as if they were a little different from what Li Tai described.
According to Li Tai's previous description, as long as these royal children stand up, then Li Xiang will definitely have no status in the emperor, even if Li Xiang can't be abolished today, it can also bring Li Xiang a lot of trouble, and we can be regarded as having a preliminary victory, but looking at the emperor's current expression, it seems that we have done something wrong, and the emperor is disgusted with us.
"Let's talk about this again."
More than 20 members of the royal family knelt down, and the emperor replied to them directly in four words.
If there were only his own sons and grandsons, I am afraid that Li Shimin would be even more powerful, but there are still some Li Shimin's brothers and some side branch royal families, so Li Shimin can't do too much.
"Qingque, you are now in charge of the imperial court, so you tell me, in the face of the Boling Cui family, how should we start, the evidence is there, should we arrest people?"
The emperor changed his words, walked down from the dragon chair, and then came to Li Tai's side, how much he loved Li Tai before, and how tired he is with Li Tai now, how can you say that you are also a member of the royal family When the imperial court is in danger, you still think about internal strife, can this throne be handed over to you?
