Tea and pastries were placed aside. The two high men who had not had breakfast had no intention of eating and drinking, and drove the eunuch out. They sat in the flower hall with grim faces and sighed.

Both brothers are smart people. Although they have not expressed their feelings to each other, they have already tacitly understood that the other party and he thought about it and are worried about the same thing...

Although there are many doubts about that matter, I still don’t know who is going to do it, but what if?

The father really favored them far more than the prince, and he was even more incomparable to other brothers from other concubines. Li Ke, who valued the most, sent Silla to Yuanyuan as a grass-headed king... But both of them were talented and intelligent people, and they were more familiar with history books and understood that the king put the world first. In the eyes of the king, nothing can be more important than a beautiful country and supreme authority. Father and son, brothers must be placed behind.

The father was no exception, otherwise he would not have tried to rely on means such as "pretending to die" that are destined to damage his reputation to stimulate the ambitious people in the court, which has set off a trend of easy crown prince and his eldest son, together with the family members in the Eastern Palace.

Now, Yi Chu is forcibly promoted by the death of a son. Even Fang Jun and other diehards in the East Palace have to stop and retreat, otherwise they will be "helping the evildoer" and really think that his father will not kill anyone?

In this way, the dead son is equivalent to the "Dizi" deposed the crown prince, leaving only one legitimate son who ascended the throne. Not only is it justified, but it also cut off the threat of the future throne. The imperial power is stable and the government is stable... It kills two birds with one stone.

Therefore, this situation is very likely to occur, and the poison that was encountered in the Youtunwei camp before... The father may not have no motivation to take action.

If this is a plan, the survivor will naturally win a great victory and win the battle for the throne. However, Li Tai and Li Zhi dare not believe that they are the one who is the one who is the throne of the father.

Li Tai felt that Chi Nu was raised by his father to eat and live with him since childhood, and that when his mother died, she gave a sincere advice to her father and son, how could she fight for her?

Li Zhize felt that the elders were orderly, the prince was deposed, and it was natural for Brother Qingque to succeed as the crown prince. Besides, Brother Qingque had outstanding literary skills. Not only did the court and the country unanimously praise him, but his father also expressed his appreciation...

Both brothers have a chance, but they don’t have the confidence to win, but no one dares to gamble.

After all, although the victory soared into the sky, the loser immediately lost his life. So before the father arrived, the two of them exchanged their eyes and reached a consensus: the position of crown prince should be the prince brother, we are not worthy of...

...

His Majesty Li Er went to the back hall to change into a regular dress, and then came to the flower hall to see his two sons.

"My son has met his father."

The two high men stood up to salute each other. His Majesty Li Er smiled kindly and had a warm temperament. He held a son's hand with his left and right hands and sat down in front of the floor. He looked left and right. His care was beyond words: "In this mutiny, you two must be afraid. You are worried about your father even thousands of miles away, and you are unable to sleep at night. Fortunately, God will protect you, so that you will not be hurt. Otherwise, you will be ashamed of your mother and queen for your father!"

The skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is

The two brothers were so moved that they were red, and their eyes were red. Li Tai held His Majesty Li Er's hand tightly and cried: "The father is the proud son of heaven and the peerless master. First, he is the emperor of the empire, and then the father of the child. Therefore, as long as the father's great cause can last for thousands of years, the child's wish is enough. His personal safety, honor and disgrace are not worth mentioning compared to the father's great cause."

Li Zhi also pressed against His Majesty Li Er and choked and said, "We are not only the son of our father, but also the minister of our father. If we cause our father to sleep day and night and hurt the dragon's body, it is a great crime!"

The words of the two sons sounded like a general idea, and they made the great sense. Every word and sentence put him, his father and the empire first... But after careful scrutiny, you can also hear the complaints and dissatisfactions.

For the great cause of Yi Chu, you "pretend to death" and let the rebels rage to Chang'an. We were trembling under the swords and guns of the rebels, and if you were not careful, you would lose your life!

His Majesty Li Er was a little embarrassed, but he was not very annoyed. He could understand the mood of his two sons.

When the Guanlong army captured Chang'an, both of them were under the control of Changsun Wuji. When Changsun Wuji came forward to invite them to succeed as crown prince, they were rejected by them. That was the most dangerous moment. If Changsun Wuji was a little more cruel and lawless, he should kill the two, and then he would try his best to support the King of Qi Li You ascend the throne to the crown prince and eliminate future troubles forever.

Fortunately, both of them are not stupid and can remain calm in the face of great interests. Otherwise, as long as one of them promises to ascend the crown prince, the other one will be killed by Changsun Wuji. After the defeat of the Eastern Palace, the crown prince will die. One is killed, and only one is left sitting in the position of the crown prince. Even if the army of the Eastern Expedition counterattacked Chang'an, the army was defeated, they could only support the remaining new crown prince ascended the throne and became emperor...

In fact, how could His Majesty Li Er not take this into consideration when he was "pretending to be dead" in the army and allowed the Guanlong army to rage?

But he still followed his plan and sat down to see what happened. He couldn't even face it himself...

With a sigh, he comforted him: "Changsun Wuji's unofficial heart has been around for a long time. My father had to take advantage of the Eastern Expedition to deliberately create an opportunity for him. At the beginning, the situation in Chang'an seemed dangerous, but everything was under the control of my father. There would be no problem around you. But if the father did not do this and let Changsun Wuji's unofficial heart continue to brew, when it explodes in the future, the world will inevitably change and cannot be resisted. I hope you can understand the good intentions of the father."

The two brothers looked admiring and admiring: "The father shines on thousands of miles, and he is the most heroic master in ancient and modern times!"

He said something flattering in his mouth, but in fact he couldn't help but complain in his heart: Are you lying to the lie? Your so-called guardian power is the dead soldiers under Wang Shoushi? I don't know whether we can ensure our safety yet, because I was beaten up by Li Junxian before he even appeared...

Because of the "poisoning" incident in Youtun Guard, the two princes with great thoughts inevitably had doubts in their hearts. Naturally, listening to His Majesty Li Er's words, they felt that there were loopholes everywhere...

Li Tai obediently poured tea for His Majesty Li Er. Li Tai hesitated for a moment and said carefully: "Why must the father be easy to save? Although the emperor's personality is a little weak, he is kind-hearted. His performance in this Guanlong mutiny was also extremely excellent. Both the son ministers and the zhinu admired him and felt that the prince might not be a qualified crown prince."

His Majesty Li Er took a sip of the teacup, his face as deep as water.

Li Tai felt a little nervous and didn't dare to say anything again, so he winked at Li Zhi who was beside him.

Li Zhi lowered his eyebrows and turned a blind eye to his brother's eyes. What a joke? Just mention this matter, why should I argue again?

Seeing that he was silent, Li Tai was bent and smiling beside his father, and he was furious: "My father doesn't like to listen to me, I'll say, "You can do something to pretend to be good?" I was humiliated by this kid...

His Majesty Li Er indeed appeared angry and glared at him, saying unhappily: "How can you interrupt the matter of the crown prince? Just follow the instructions of your father, and there is no need to say much."

"Here!"

Li Tai was so scared that he trembled and quickly bowed his command.

His Majesty Li Er drank tea and looked at his two sons around him, feeling very bad. Throughout history, the dispute over the throne has been a huge crisis that every dynasty tries hard to avoid but cannot be avoided at all. The supreme imperial power of the world has an unparalleled temptation, which can make father and son turn against each other and make brothers and feet tragic. Every emperor must guard against this.

But why is my two sons who are most likely to make a profit now trying their best to shirk it and look down on it?

If it was said that his father had educated him so well, these two kids had been eyeing the reserve position before...

During the period of the Eastern Expedition, what happened in Chang'an City that these two people were facing the throne like avoiding snakes and scorpions?

Can't figure it out...

****

The Secretariat Yamen is one of the most well-preserved buildings in the Tai Chi Palace. After Cen Wenbenzi returned, he plunged into his own payroll.

Liu Wei followed closely behind and met in the room.

The clerk presented the incense tea and was reprimanded by Liu Shi. When there was no one else in the room, Liu Shi had a bitter face and begged for mercy: "Sir, don't be upset. It's because the lower-ranking official turned against him. It was because His Majesty sent someone to the palace last night and told him that he had to cooperate. How dare the lower-ranking official refuse?"

In Wude Hall, he cooperated with His Majesty Guo to seize Fang Jun's military power, which obviously touched the interests of the clans in Jiangnan and Shandong, causing Cen Wenben, who had no prior concern for political affairs, to angrily oppose His Majesty's intention to appoint the King of Jin as the Minister of War, which shows his anger.

At this moment, Cen Wenben was not angry. He had been in the officialdom for a lifetime. What kind of thing had he never seen?

He took a sip of the teacup in his hand, then nodded calmly: "Eat the king's fortune and loyalty to the king, and the minister is open and upright, why should he explain to others?"

The words were not scattered, but the sarcasm came to me.

Liu Shi lamented, rubbed his face, and said dejectedly: "The official of the magistrate knows that he will be betrayed by the tutor, but he cannot help himself and dare not disobey His Majesty's order. But please rest assured, just cooperate with the suppression of Fang Jun, and never involve anything else. The matter is over, and the official of the official will clarify his position to the outside world."

The trust and reuse from His Majesty has always been the ladder to ascend to heaven that he has been striving to pursue, but Cen Wenben's political legacy is also the cornerstone for him to go further in the civil service sequence. How can he lose sight of one or the other?

Besides, he was right. His Majesty Li Er Yi Chu's heart is as firm as iron. If he dares to reject his plan to seize Fang Jun's military power at this time, he would know if he would include Liu Yu as the Eastern Palace and completely suppress him. The position of Shizhong, who had just been in the position of Shizhong, would have to be abandoned...

So he also felt a little resentful in his heart. Why can't you understand me?
