King Yan Li You actually wants to protect the prince!!!
This was something that no one at the scene had expected. Even Li Shimin was a little confused. Judging from Li You's voice and the diary he wrote every day, Li You had a very bad impression of Prince Li Chengqian!
At this time, it is only normal to propose deposing the prince, right?
What on earth does this kid want to do?
For the first time, Li Shimin felt that even if he could peek into the other person's diary and listen to his voice, he might not be able to fully grasp Li You!
Wang Gui became even more angry at Li You's words.
Everyone who gathered at Ganlu Hall tonight knew that the discussion was about the abolition of the crown prince. As the teacher of King Wei and the minister of the Ministry of Rites, he was both public and private, so he wanted to bring down the crown prince. Otherwise, how could he maintain the majesty of etiquette and law? !How to help King Wei sit on the throne of the prince!
But I never expected that Li You would be stupid enough to protect the crown prince!
Although in Wang Gui's view, His Majesty would not listen to what King Yan Li You said, it gave tonight's discussion a bad start.
If things continue like this, with Empress Changsun kneeling to plead for mercy outside, and the princelings led by Changsun Wuji defending themselves inside, once His Majesty relents, he might really be able to let Prince Li Chengqian escape this disaster.
No! Absolutely not!
Without saying a word, Wang Gui raised the wat board, strode forward, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I think that the prince's words and actions seriously violated the etiquette and law, and should be abolished according to etiquette and law! Demoted to a commoner!"
One word per sentence, short and powerful, and the words are clear and well-spoken!
"Prince Li Chengqian, as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, sets an example for all the people in the world with his words and deeds. Now he has cut off his sleeves, which is in vain and has embarrassed the Tang Dynasty and the royal family! The old minister also heard that the prince said that Wei Zheng would be killed. , King Yan, exiled Duke Lu, Duke E and other ministers, such an unworthy and unkind prince, if not abolished, it is not enough to be a ritual, if not abolished, it is not enough to comfort the people, and if not abolished, it is not enough to establish majesty!"
Before coming, Wang Gui had already prepared a plan, and his words were sincere and sincere, which made people think that the prince must be abolished!
Changsun Wuji immediately looked at Wang Gui angrily!
He naturally understood that Wang Gui was trying to uphold etiquette. He was clearly trying to give his student, King Wei Li Tai, a chance. After all, there was only one position for the prince, and only by pulling Li Chengqian down could Li Tai ascend!
Understanding this, Changsun Wuji will naturally not let Wang Gui's gang succeed!
"Your Majesty, that's not possible! In my opinion..." Changsun Wuji also came with certainty and immediately began to retort.
"As King Yan said, although the prince has made mistakes, he will not be deposed!"
"The matter of cutting off sleeves, the futility of Gu Lunchang, the killing of ministers, and being unkind and unkind are all just Wang Gui's whims and conjectures without any evidence!"
When Wang Gui heard this, he immediately quit and said immediately: "Changsun Wuji, you said these are all my speculations and there is no evidence? Doesn't it count as evidence if the princes, ministers and your majesty witnessed it with their own eyes?"
"Hmph, as the prince's biological uncle, you naturally have to speak for the prince and protect him to the death!"
Changsun Wuji said angrily: "Wang Gui! As the teacher of King Wei, do you dare to say that you have tried so hard to get His Majesty to depose the prince? Don't you have selfish motives?"
…
Wang Gui's eyes widened, his beard trembled with anger, and he pointed at Changsun Wuji, "Changsun Wuji! You!!!"
However....
Just when Changsun Wuji and Wang Gui were arguing fiercely, Li Shimin ignored these two people at all!
Instead, he focused on Li You's inner complaints.
Now Li Shimin has understood that it was a mistake to recruit these princes and ministers. Instead of listening to their biased arguments, it is better to listen to Li You's true thoughts, which may also give him ideas to solve the problem.
[Tsk tsk, one is the Minister of Official Affairs and the other is the Minister of Etiquette. It’s really exciting for these two to carry them! 】
[Hey, in fact, you can see clearly at a glance that Changsun Wuji is on the side of the prince, while Wang Gui is on the side of King Wei Li Tai, but the people of King Li Ke of Han are really calm!】
[I really don’t understand, is the throne really so fragrant? So many people have competed for this position throughout the ages.]
[That little chubby guy Li Tai, after reading a few books, thought he had mastered all the knowledge of saints and sages. He pretended to be benevolent and righteous, and insisted on fighting for the throne. Wouldn’t it be nice to be a salted fish prince like me? 】
When Li Shimin heard Li You's analysis, he nodded secretly and praised Li You for his political insight. But when he heard Li You complain about Li Tai, he frowned a little.
In Li Shimin's eyes, his fourth son, Li Tai, was talented, extremely intelligent, and a scholar who loved literature. He had always been like a wise king, and he always loved him very much. It can be said that Li Tai was Li Shimin's darling in his heart!
Therefore, Li Shimin was a little angry when he heard Li You complain that Li Tai was a chubby guy and hypocritical.
But if you think about it carefully, Li Tai is really a little chubby, and his image is a bit unsightly.
When this matter is over, let Li Tai start losing weight, at least until he is about the same as me!
If Li You could hear Li Shimin's thoughts at this moment, he would definitely complain, "Haha, you are also fat."
Of course, Li You couldn't hear Li Shimin's inner thoughts, so he still complained crazily in his heart.
[You want me to say something about deposing the prince, how is that possible! If we had just said that we should abolish the prince, we would have offended others, and we will not do such a thing.]
[Haha, I really think of myself as ‘Zhen Huan’
^0^It is said that TV series such as "Kangxi Dynasty", "Zhenguan Changge" and "Ming Dynasty" are all in vain!】
[There is no need to offend the princeling now. After all, Li Chengqian’s next behavior is getting more and more outrageous, and his position as prince will be abolished sooner or later. 】
[More importantly, Li Er is actually not completely disappointed with Li Chengqian now. After all, he has really cultivated Li Chengqian as his successor for so many years and spent so much effort. If he really wants to abolish him, he probably won't be able to bear it. 】
[Inheritance by eldest son is a deep-rooted etiquette. Li Er himself has made an exception once. He definitely doesn't want to break it a second time. Otherwise, the inheritance by eldest son will be nonsense in the Tang Dynasty. From now on, as long as he is a prince, he will have the right to inherit. My thoughts, this is the root of picking up goods!】
Li You's rant basically touched Li Shimin's heart, and he nodded secretly.
Just what the hell are "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "Kangxi Dynasty", "Da Ming Dynasty" and "Zhenguan Long Song"? Is the TV series a kind of book? And isn't Zhenguan his own reign name? How come...
…
Li Shimin seemed to have caught Li You and asked him, but his reason told him not to do this, which was very distressing. After all, he already had too many questions to ask Li You!
Now is not the time for a showdown with Youer, so we should deal with the prince's affairs first.
Li You is right. Li Shimin has not yet made up his mind to depose the crown prince, otherwise Li Shimin would not have summoned the ministers late at night to discuss it.
The purpose was to reach an agreement with the ministers in advance and impose appropriate punishment on Prince Li Chengqian to avoid an uncontrollable situation tomorrow morning.
At the same time, I also want to show off to Li Chengqian, scare him, and make Li Chengqian completely give up his habit of cutting sleeves and become a qualified prince again!
[However... Li Er's painstaking efforts were not understood by Li Chengqian in the end. No matter how Li Er tried to save Li Chengqian, he could not escape the fate of being abolished in the end. ]
[In the final analysis, it’s just that Li Chengqian’s heart is too weak to withstand the pressure. His habit of cutting sleeves is just the beginning. In the end, Li Chengqian will rebel. 】
[Li Tai would not give up the fight for the throne. His brothers staged a battle to seize the throne. Li Chengqian, who was forced to panic, raised the banner of rebellion! He almost staged another Xuanwu Gate Incident. 】
[They have all rebelled, and Li Er will probably give up completely by then.]
[So, there is no need to add insult to injury this time, but when Li Chengqian rebels next time, he won’t be able to save him even if he wants to. I hope Li Chengqian can become smarter.]
[Hey, I suddenly feel that Li Er is the emperor who has the highest tolerance for his sons. As long as you don't rebel, no matter how you jump around, he won't kill you. In this regard, he is much better than many emperors. 】
Li You's complaints undoubtedly dropped a bomb in Li Shimin's mind.
boom!
Boom boom!
The "explosion" made Li Shimin's head buzz.
What?
Isn't it enough to have the habit of cutting sleeves? Are you going to rebel against me?
Is there still a need for rescue?
Li Shimin's eyes became more determined, and then he waved his hand and said: "You all should stop arguing, I...have made a decision!"
"The prince is unkind and unkind, and does not abide by etiquette. The prince will be deposed from now on!"
Boom boom!
Li Shimin's words exploded like thunder among the princes and ministers!
The princes and ministers who were originally quarreling in two groups over whether to abolish the crown prince stopped their quarreling one after another. They did not expect that His Majesty would make such a firm decision!
"this....!"
Changsun Wuji's eyes widened, and although his mouth was open, he couldn't say a word.
He spent a long time arguing with Wang Gui, but His Majesty still decided to depose the crown prince!
And judging from His Majesty’s firm tone, it seems that there is no room for maneuver in this matter!
After Wang Gui reacted, he was immediately ecstatic!
Then he and several other ministers who supported King Wei knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!"
"Your Majesty! The deposing of the crown prince is a national matter. If it is not handled well, it will easily shake the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. You must be cautious!"
"The prince made a mistake and deserves to be punished. It is not hopeless. It would be a bit hasty to abolish it like this. Your Majesty, please think twice!"
"Your Majesty, I think the prince is just confused for a moment. If he can find a good teacher and teach him carefully, he will definitely change his ways!"
…
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and several other ministers who supported the prince knelt down to persuade him.
Strictly speaking, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are not princelings, but the prince Li Chengqian is the eldest son. If they are abolished rashly, the court will definitely be shaken. Now there are rebels inside and powerful enemies outside. This is what they don't want to see. of.
Only when the court is stable can the country develop steadily. This is the foundation!
Therefore, they hope that Li Shimin can use more moderate methods and not be so radical.
But Li Shimin had made up his mind at this moment, "My dear friends, there is no need to persuade me any more, I have deposed Li Chengqian as the crown prince!"
If Li Chengqian was just playing with the cut sleeves, hanging out with the music lovers, and staying calm for so long, it would not be unacceptable to Li Shimin!
But now Li Chengqian is no longer as simple as playing with cut sleeves. He already knows that even if he spares Li Chengqian this time, it will not make Li Chengqian better. On the contrary, it will intensify the fight for the heir among the princes. In the end, Li Chengqian will even rebel. !
Let this be
^0^Li Shimin couldn't accept it anymore. Li You was right, rebellion was Li Shimin's bottom line!
His generation has already experienced a battle for the throne. The last thing he wants to see is that his son will go through the "Xuanwu Sect Change" again like him!
Instead of doing this, he might as well destroy Li Chengqian while he is not rebelling, and maybe he can still survive!
"Your Majesty! Think twice!"
Changsun Wuji knelt down weakly and cried slightly.
Before Li Shimin made a decision, Changsun Wuji always felt that it was unlikely that Prince Li Chengqian would be deposed this time, and at most the punishment would be heavier.
After all, with his and the queen's strong protection, most of the ministers in the court did not agree with the abolition of the prince, and even King Yan Li You also expressed his plea!
But he still underestimated Li Shimin's determination. He was so tough and determined to depose the prince, which made him completely unprepared!
"Okay, this matter has been decided." Li Shimin said: "Cen Wenwen!"
"Wei Chen is here!"
Cen Wenwen, who had been silent all this time, stood up with a wat tablet in hand.
"You are from Zhongshushe, and it is up to you to draft the edict to abolish the crown prince! From now on, the prince... Li Chengqian will be deposed, demoted to the king of Zhongshan County, and banned from Beiyuan!"
"I obey the decree!"
Cen Wenwen accepted the order and retired.
"Li Junxian!"
"I'm here!"
"You will take the people to the East Palace and give the celebrities poisonous wine to kill themselves. At the same time, you will move the deposed prince Li Chengqian out of the East Palace and into Beiyuan!"
"I obey the decree!"
Li Junxian accepted the order and retreated.
As Fang Xuanling, the official official of Zhongshu, Fang Xuanling should have drafted such an important edict, but this time Li Shimin asked Cen Wenwen, a member of Zhongshushe, to draft it. It was obvious that Li Shimin had just asked him to plead for the prince's mercy. See it in your eyes.
All this indicates that Li Shimin is determined to depose the prince!
"Well, because the prince's matter has been discussed so late, I have made the decision to cancel today's morning meeting. Dear ladies, please go back and have a good rest!"
After saying that, Li Shimin took the lead to leave the main hall and rest in the sleeping hall at the back.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
All the ministers knelt down to see him off, then stood up and left.
Li You fell at the end and glanced at Li Shimin's dormitory in surprise.
He had just reacted to Li Shimin's decree to depose the crown prince. After all, from the time Li Shimin announced his decision to leaving, the whole process was extremely short, and it could be described as vigorous and resolute!
[Li Er’s vigorous and resolute operation directly confused Changsun Wuji and other ministers! They didn’t react at all.]
[If you say you want to abolish the crown prince, you should abolish it. Don’t be sloppy. He is worthy of being one of the nominees for the title of “Eternal Emperor”. If this continues, it will no longer be a nomination, but he will truly deserve the title!]
[However, the position of the prince...]
Like the Tang Dynasty: The dandy prince, whose diary was peeked by Li Er
Dear, this chapter is finished, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
