The prince slapped the case and stood up. His body was trembling uncontrollably due to the jealous rage. His face was as gloomy as a pool of stagnant water. He stared at the Dukes above the court, wishing he could push them down and chop them down!
But he can't.
What really makes a country run is not the almighty emperor, but the tens of millions of people and tens of thousands of ministers. What's more, the prince is just a puppet now?
"Okay! Very good! I have recorded this matter!"
In the end, it ended on an unhappy note.
But this is also a very bad trend. The ministers coercing the emperor means that the emperor's authority is weak. Once it is realized, the Li and Tang Empire will completely become a candle in the wind and a lamp in the rain, crumbling.
"It's just that the prince's attitude is so tough, which really surprises me..."
In the workshop, Ye Qing couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth as he looked at the information collected by Tian Shui.
His seemingly unintentional move actually had an important effect at this time, allowing Ye Qing to understand everything that happened in the palace even if he was not in the palace.
"You did a great job this time."
Ye Qing stood up and looked at Tian Shui. The latter still did not show his true identity to others. The beauty smiled charmingly and did not say a word.
"Continue to collect news about what happened in the palace. I will come back in a few days."
Such a serious conflict occurred in the court, which was a good opportunity for Ye Qing.
He thought about it and decided to add fire to the powder keg of Chang'an City!
So in the next few days, many rumors suddenly appeared in Chang'an City, most of which were rumors criticizing the royal family and making heart-breaking remarks.
For example, Queen Zhou intended to seize the Li and Tang Empire, or Queen Zhou closed Chang'an City with the intention of murdering His Majesty, and then took advantage of the situation to ascend to the throne, etc., which aroused huge repercussions.
No matter where the Li Tang Empire has reached now, and how many ridiculous things Li Tianhe did when he was young, it is undeniable that the people of the Li Tang Empire still value the Li family's orthodoxy. Precisely because of the existence of the Li family, the Li Tang Empire
Only the people of the Tang Empire could be so wealthy.
Li Tianhe truly fulfilled the ambition he made when he ascended the throne: to hide wealth among the people.
So for a while, the atmosphere in Chang'an City was extremely tense. All the people stayed at home, and the monks also gathered together, seeming to be planning something, which made the Queen Zhou mother and her son in the palace extremely nervous.
"Heart-destroying words, heart-destroying words!"
Queen Zhou's face was as cold as frost, and she stared at the young boy who came to report the news, her silver teeth shattered.
"Mother, please calm down. According to what I see, it is best to compromise now and unblock Chang'an City. These rumors will naturally be disproven."
"It's useless. This is clearly a conspiracy against us, mother and son! Even if the assassins of Chang'an City lift the seal, the situation will not get better at all. What's more, your brother is almost done!"
Empress Zhou shook her head firmly and still refused to unblock Chang'an, which made the prince very helpless. However, when she heard that the emperor was about to become emperor, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes.
"Mother, my brother, he..."
"He has already refined half of the national fortunes of the Li Tang Empire and has become infected with the devil. As long as the national fortunes are completely polluted, seizing the Li Tang Empire will be like searching for something! We are almost successful now. We must not stop at this time. We have already.
..There is no way out!”
"But Queen Mother, there are thieves in front of me secretly watching, and the city of Chang'an is in turmoil right now. I'm afraid I don't have much time!"
"Then let that old immortal come forward! Stop his medicine first, and after a few days of recovery, let him come forward to appease people's hearts. In short, I will not stop, I can't stop! Success is close at hand, no matter the cost
!”
The prince was completely disappointed.
He looked at the hysterical queen mother, as if she was in a world of ice and snow, as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
"Mother, is it really so important to you to seize the Li Tang Empire? To do this, you would not hesitate to sacrifice your bedfellow and your two sons?"
"Xu'er, what are you talking about! You are the prince now, and you will be the emperor in the future! This Li Tang Empire is the empire of you, my mother and my son!"
"Mother, please ask yourself, does the child really have the destiny to sit on the throne? The child's body is deteriorating day by day. Is it the backlash of the country's destiny? Could it be that the child can't feel it? If the mother wants to be the empress, why does she need to go through my hands?"
Li Chengxu sighed, took off the jade crown that symbolized his prince, pulled out his hair, and let his long hair fall on his shoulders. His gray face was extremely sad.
"Since the son was born, he has been living under the earnest instruction of his mother all day long. All day long, he has heard the heart-wrenching remarks about stealing the country and usurping the throne. For so many years, has the mother ever cared about whether his child is happy?
The emperor's younger brother has been sown by you since he was three years old and sealed on the dragon's veins. He is like a moth constantly feeding on the national destiny of the Li and Tang Empire. A few days ago, I went to see the emperor's younger brother. Did you know? He
He was almost dead, and his body was extremely thin. At the age of sixteen, his figure was no different from that of a three-year-old baby.
He was skinny all over and had lived in darkness all year round. His eyes were blind and he couldn't even speak. After feeling my presence, he only made a sound like crying to express his joy.
Mother, you have already sacrificed your two sons for this throne, how much more do you want to sacrifice? The entire palace? The entire Chang'an City? Or do you mean that in your eyes, everyone is just a chess piece that can be discarded at any time!"
For the first time in his life, Li Chengxu stood in front of the mother he was most afraid of, and truly said what was on his mind. When everything was said, Li Chengxu not only did not feel fear, but felt relieved.
In fact, he had known for a long time that even if Li Tianhe died, the person who would sit in that position would not be him. The reason why he left Queen Zhou alone was just to let her understand that there are always some things in this world that are more important than the throne.
It's a pity that Queen Zhou not only failed to wake up, but fell deeper and deeper into it.
"You! You are accusing me of something wrong! You traitor!"
Queen Zhou's eyes were red, and her whole body was exuding demonic energy. She was obviously extremely angry.
"Yes, the child is accusing the mother, accusing you of not fulfilling the obligations of a mother, not fulfilling the responsibilities of a wife, accusing you of being whimsical, accusing you of being inhumane! So what will you do?
What! Are you sending your child to death?
Forget it! This life was originally given by the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother wants to go back today, I can give it back to you over there! In this way, it can be regarded as a good beginning and a good end, and nothing is owed to the two!
I, Li Chengxu, the crown prince of the Li Tang Empire, beg my mother to die!"
