Chapter 839 Something happened in the East Palace

At this time, Wei Jiansu said again: "King Qi suggested verbally that if your majesty is unable to shirk, you can change the title of King Yong to the imperial heir."

Li Heng's eyes lit up. The emperor's plan was not bad. He took a step back from the cliff and had room to turn around.

Li Heng suddenly thought of another thing, and his eyes that had just lit up dimmed again.

Li Heng took a few steps with his hands behind his back and asked again: "What does Wei Xiangguo think?"

"Reporting to your majesty, the minister is in favor of the emperor's plan. It not only gives the emperor an explanation, but does not shake the country. Moreover, King Qi is right. It is not that the prince is incompetent and the prince should be abolished, but because the prince is seriously ill and cannot bear the burden.

Since the Crown Prince has such an important responsibility, His Highness the Crown Prince should be given a chance. Once he recovers, he can be reestablished as the Crown Prince."

Li Heng sighed softly, "I'm afraid that the Supreme Emperor won't accept it!"

Wei Jiansu said calmly: "If your Majesty feels that the Supreme Emperor is unwilling to accept the emperor's heir, you can add another title of Supervisor to King Yong."

Li Heng smiled bitterly, whether it was the emperor's heir or the governor, it was only a temporary arrangement that could be removed at any time. How could King Yong accept it?

"Let me think about it!"

Wei Jiansu became anxious and urged again and again: "Your Majesty, since King Qi has taken the initiative to stand up, your Majesty can use the objection of his ministers as an excuse to change his previous commitment. Is your Majesty really willing to make King Yong the crown prince?"

Li Heng sighed: "Of course I don't want to, but I am worried that the Supreme Emperor will not accept it. He will re-establish the court in Chengdu and ascend the throne again. Of the eight treasures of the Tang Dynasty's national seal, I only have one of the emperor's treasures in my hand. The other sacred treasures are the mandated treasures and the emperor's treasures.

The Seven Treasures such as Baobao and Xinbao are all in the hands of the Supreme Emperor, and the seals of all the previous emperors of the Tang Dynasty are also in the hands of the Supreme Emperor. If the Supreme Emperor ascends the throne again, can I still declare my father a traitor?"

Only then did Wei Jiansu understand that the emperor was worried not about establishing the emperor's younger brother, but about the emperor's re-ascension to the throne. This was indeed a big problem. When the emperor abdicated the throne, a major abdication ceremony would be held, and the jade seal and all national seals would be handed down.

Only then can the new emperor officially ascend the throne.

Without this abdication ceremony, the current emperor can only be called the acting emperor to supervise the country, just like the empress dowager supervises the country on behalf of the underage emperor.

So to a certain extent, the emperor was not yet the legal emperor, so the emperor took advantage of this fact and forced him to make the emperor his younger brother.

Li Heng said helplessly: "If I establish the emperor's younger brother, it will be equivalent to the Supreme Emperor recognizing me as the legitimate emperor. That's why I agreed to establish King Yong as the emperor's younger brother. There is no other way!"

Wei Jiansu nodded, "I understand your majesty's good intentions, but your majesty needs to understand that once your majesty and the emperor recognize King Yong as the successor of the Tang Dynasty at the same time, it will be difficult to depose King Yong in the future, and it will definitely lead to disaster.

endless."

"So I have to think about it and weigh it. Give me some more time!"

At this moment, Li Fuguo hurriedly walked in and whispered a few words into the ear of the emperor Li Heng. Li Heng stood up and his face suddenly turned pale. The prince committed suicide by taking poison and his life was in danger.

Li Ye was drinking tea in Dugu Ming's mansion at this time, and the questions in his mind were still unresolved.

Dugu Ming took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Two reasons! One reason is that King Yong was raised by the Emperor since he was a child. The two are called brothers, and they actually have the same love as father and son, so the Emperor does not reject the emperor emotionally.

younger brother.

The second reason is that the emperor's accession to the throne was illegal. In the Sizhuyuan Incident, the prince only received the abdication edict and the emperor's treasure. The most critical Tang Dynasty sacred treasure and the appointed treasure were in the hands of the Supreme Emperor. With these two seals, the Supreme Emperor

Then you can go back on your word and revoke the previous abdication edict."

Li Ye smiled and said: "What will happen if the Supreme Emperor ascends the throne again in Chengdu?"

Dugu Ming sighed and said: "There will be two imperial courts and two Emperors of the Tang Dynasty. The absurd scene of Wu Zetian's era will reappear. Under the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, the final result must be that the Supreme Emperor will win, and the Emperor will be forced to abdicate.

If the Supreme Emperor brings him back, with better luck, the Emperor will continue to be the Crown Prince. After the Supreme Emperor dies, he will officially ascend the throne again. If he is not lucky, then it will not be his turn. How could the Supreme Emperor not remember the hatred of Sizhuyuan?"

Li Ye laughed at himself: "It seems that my suggestion to the emperor to make King Yong his heir is not a bright idea!"

Dugu Ming smiled faintly and said: "Your plan must be supported by the ministers in the political hall, but the emperor may not accept it. I think he is more focused on naming the emperor's younger brother and stabilizing the situation. Ah Ye, your intention cannot succeed.

"

Li Ye pretended to be puzzled and said: "Uncle San thinks I have intentions?"

Dugu Ming narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I know you better than your father-in-law. When you asked me about the conflict between King Yong and the Supreme Emperor yesterday at noon, I guessed what you wanted to do. King Yong is not your bargaining chip, the Supreme Emperor is.

Your bargaining chip, you openly opposed the title of emperor's younger brother and proposed to change the title of emperor's heir. It seems that you are helping the emperor, but in fact you are forcing King Yong to compromise with the emperor."

Li Ye was speechless for a moment, and Dugu Ming patted him on the shoulder, "You are a prince, and it is normal to have such thoughts. If the inheritance of the throne is in order, where will you have a chance? In fact, I have been helping you from behind, and some

It’s just that you don’t know the matter.”

Li Ye was moved and patted Dugu Ming's hand, "Thank you, third uncle!"

Dugu Ming sat down again and said slowly: "Your father-in-law only considers the interests of the Dugu family, but I am different. I not only consider the interests of the family, but I am also seeking revenge. Do you understand?"

Li Ye nodded silently, knowing that Dugu Ming was referring to the murder of his daughter and his parents.

Dugu Ming's eyes spurted with hatred, "Just because I was a disciple of Feilong, Li Longji hated me. He knew that Khitan was going to rebel, so he sent my daughter to Khitan for marriage. My poor daughter was only fifteen years old, crying.

She called Daddy to save me, but no one rescued her. The Khitan people dug out her heart and devoured her, leaving no bones left."

Speaking of this, Dugu Ming trembled all over, covered his face and burst into tears, "My poor child!"

Li Ye held Dugu Ming's hand and said in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, third uncle, I will never allow the Khitan to survive in the world!"

"Thank you!"

Duguming wiped away his tears and said: "The enemy is not only the Khitans, but also Li Longji. Although he wanted to make up for his guilt by marrying Princess Xincheng to me after my ex-wife died of illness, it did not eliminate the hatred in my heart. I

I can't destroy Li Tang, but I also want his descendants to lose the throne. From the day I saw you, I knew why Feilong chose you as his heir. You, like him, have Ziwei's luck. I'm here

You see the hope of revenge in you."

At this point, Dugu Ming said apologetically: "Aye, don't think that I am taking advantage of you. I have no such idea."

Li Ye shook his head, "I don't know how. I only feel grateful to my third uncle!"

"Uncle San also wants something from you!"

Li Ye nodded, "Third uncle, please tell me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely agree!"

"You can definitely do it. I have no sons, only two daughters. The eldest daughter has passed away long ago, and now I still have a younger daughter, Taiwei. She is only twelve years old this year, but I only like you. I will wait until she is seventeen.

Then, you should marry her too!"

Li Ye was silent for a moment, then nodded, "I promise, Third Uncle!"

Dugu Ming held Li Ye's hand and said excitedly: "We have a son-in-law relationship, I believe I will try my best to help you!"

At this moment, a man in gray clothes walked quickly from the hall, whispered a few words in Dugu Ming's ear, and then walked away in a flash.

Li Ye could see clearly that the man in gray was wearing a human skin mask, and he was probably Dugu Ming's secret warrior.

Dugu Ming had a complicated expression in his eyes, and said slowly to Li Ye: "The prince committed suicide by taking poison!"
