Chapter 87 The Contest for the Throne

"Then who is my father?"

Since the Li family has fallen apart like this, with the second uncle belonging to the crown prince and the third uncle belonging to the second prince, Li Changxian will not be surprised which side his father belongs to.

"Your father belongs to no one, he belongs to the emperor!"

Zhang Kewen obviously knows Li Changxian's father very well.

"Ah, the emperor's people?"

This was beyond Li Changxian's expectation. He had always thought that his father was a martial artist with well-developed limbs and a simple mind. Who would have known that his father, who was so experienced in doing things, did not rely on anyone but the emperor.

Any prince who ascends the throne in the future will not blame his father, but will put him in a good position.

At this time, Li Changxian realized why his father had been unwilling to return to Beijing to reunite with his family for so many years. It was not that he didn't want to, but that he was unwilling to get involved in the battle for the throne.

From this point of view, my father is a pitiful man, but also a smart man!

It's pitiable, but Li Changxian still resents him a little. When he needed his father's love the most, his father didn't come back from the Western Regions, and Li Changxian was allowed to grow naturally.

"The battle for the throne has started seven or eight years ago. Unfortunately, I failed to see the situation clearly and fell into their trap inexplicably.

The current Emperor Shun of Jin is not young anymore, even older than me.

In the first half of his life, Emperor Shun of Jin worked hard and actively developed, and secured so much territory for the Jin Dynasty. However, in his later years, he deliberately pretended to be confused and ignored the obvious fact of the struggle for the throne."

Zhang Kewen no longer cared about the emperor's face. What could he do to Zhang Kewen even if he knew about it? What could be worse than demoting Zhang Kewen to Wanling County?

Zhang Kewen continued: "There are five princes under Emperor Shun of Jin. The first four princes are adults, and the fifth prince is still young. I was only one or two years old when I left Beijing. I guess I will not join the fight for the throne now."

.

Prince Tang Hao, if I remember correctly, is almost forty years old now, and has been the crown prince for almost thirty years!

Although Emperor Shun of Jin was in poor health in recent years, he became stronger with age and turned good fortunes into good fortunes, so he would have no problem living another seven or eight years.

Therefore, the prince still has time to wait.

As long as the current emperor does not die, he will never inherit the throne.

Prince Tang Hao is very mediocre personally, and his behavior is stupid. If it were not for a group of courtiers under him to advise him, his throne would probably be in jeopardy.

The second prince, Tang Yan, was smart, studious, and very smart in his conduct. He had a fiefdom in the Jiangnan area and was extremely wealthy. Over the years, he had used money to bribe many officials and generals. His ambition was not small!

If one day the old emperor dies and the prince ascends the throne, the first person to object will be the second prince.

Don't underestimate the second prince. On the surface, he looks warm and generous, but on the inside he is extremely ruthless, comparable to Emperor Shun of Jin back then.

Remember, never take anything that belongs to the second prince. I'm afraid that he will settle old scores in the future and take back all the things he gave away.

The third prince, Tang Yi, King of Yong, had been stationed in the army for a long time. He only came to enfeoff Yongzhou, where he had 100,000 troops and dominated the area.

If the old emperor dies, I'm afraid he will be the first to raise troops.

But for so many years, the old emperor knew clearly but pretended to be ignorant. This is what the prince hated most about him.

The fourth prince, King Tang Qi of Qi, was extremely talented in poetry, music, calligraphy and painting. In recent years, he had attracted many literati to cheer for him.

Although the grandfather of the fourth prince is the general, Prince Gu, who leads the military abroad, I am not optimistic about him. Military power has always been under the control of the old emperor, and even Prince Gu cannot change the fact.

As for the fifth prince, he is too young and I have been away from the capital for too long, so I cannot give you an analysis.

But one thing is that the fifth prince’s mother, Concubine Lin, will not let go of evil. Her father, Lin Quan, is a salt transport historian and his wealth is no less than that of the second prince, Tang Yan.”

Zhang Kewen gave Li Changxian a detailed analysis of the struggle for the throne, and suggested not to interfere with either side, otherwise he would die if the struggle failed.

Li Changxian didn't want to either. Didn't everyone come to his door?

Also, your family members have all gone to seek refuge with each other. What should you do if you call Lee Chang-hyun? Break up with your family?
