After a day of training, Li Yuan slowly regained his strength. When he recalled that night between the prince and King Qi, his whole body could not help but tremble. Thinking of the scene where the fourth brother chopped the boss into pieces, he was still heartbroken.
He was sitting on the couch with his head lowered. He was very lethargic, like a sick chicken that was about to die.
"Zhiyun, tell me honestly, how much do you know about the prince's rebellion?"
This is the question again, is it annoying or not?
I can't turn a blind eye as I should cooperate with you in your performance.
Li Zhiyun said sadly: "That night, Qiao Gongshan suddenly led the troops of the East Palace to attack the son. The son thought it was Qiao Gongshan who was plotting a rebellion. But later the fourth brother found the son and told him that the eldest brother was afraid that the son was a general and worried about his father in the future.
The emperor deposed his eldest brother as the crown prince and passed the throne to his sons.
The fourth brother also said that the eldest brother had led an army to attack the palace, and he wanted the left and right guards under his subordinates to help him serve the king.
The son-in-law didn't think much about it at the time and agreed to the fourth brother's request.
Originally, Erchen wanted to go with his fourth brother, but the fourth brother left first. When Erchen arrived at the palace, he found that King Qi's army was actually at the palace. Erchen wanted to come in, but was blocked by King Qi's army.
.
It was at this time that I felt something was wrong, so I barged in. My father knew what happened next, and I didn’t want to elaborate on it."
Hearing this, Li Yuan stared at Li Zhiyun with his eyes for a long time, but still couldn't see any flaws. Then he withdrew his gaze and carefully considered Li Zhiyun's words.
In fact, there is nothing to speculate on. The prince rebelled and the King of Qi rebelled. He saw it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears. There is no way he can lie about it.
Moreover, what the prince said, he also knew that what the King of Chu said was completely correct.
"How is King Qi now?"
"The fourth brother is delirious and very irritable."
Maybe it was due to the huge psychological gap that Li Yuanji couldn't accept it for a while and his brain became abnormal.
A sad look appeared on Li Yuan's face, and his whole person looked even more gloomy.
That night, the prince not only rebelled, but also exposed the fact that he had plotted with King Qi and the prince to murder King Qin. Everything showed one thing, the prince's rebellion was his own decision, not instigated by others, let alone designed by others.
But the King of Chu, from beginning to end, knew nothing.
Li Zhiyun asked: "Father, do you want to meet my fourth brother?"
"No!" Li Yuan shouted angrily.
He wished he could kill Li Yuanji, the treacherous son, and see what he did.
Perhaps because he felt that he should not lose his temper with Li Zhiyun, he slowed down his tone and said, "Don't be afraid, you are a good boy."
Li Zhiyun cried: "My sons and ministers are unfilial and should not be greedy for power, otherwise the eldest brother would not be like this, and neither would the fourth brother... wu wu wu..."
"That's enough." Li Yuan reprimanded impatiently: "Stop crying, this matter has nothing to do with you, it has nothing to do with you."
Who is related to?
Li Yuan knew very well that the culprit of all this was himself!
The prince's stern questioning that night made him extremely painful, but he could not refute it. Because what the prince said was the truth, he was indeed using the King of Qin and the King of Chu to check and balance the prince.
However, it was just a check and balance, he never thought about deposing the prince.
Why can't he wait? After a hundred years, can he still bring the country of Tang Dynasty into the earth?
What a fool!
What made him even more miserable was that the devil, the fourth child, not only wanted to rebel, he also chopped the boss into pieces. He even wanted to kill himself to seize the throne.
What kind of sons are these?
Thinking of this, Li Yuan spat out another mouthful of blood, dyeing his clothes red.
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly served Li Yuan.
After a while, Li Yuan regained his breath and ordered: "Zhiyun, go and call the prime ministers in."
"yes."
After a while, several prime ministers walked in.
"See Your Majesty."
"No gift."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Pei Ji raised his head and saw that Old Li was in the shape of a withered weed. He felt sad and begged, "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. The Tang Dynasty cannot live without Your Majesty."
Li Yuan glanced at him, not wanting to talk nonsense. He had already noticed that his body was very weak and he could not hold on even if he said a few words, and his brain was in constant pain from the wind.
He needs to hurry up.
"You must also know about the rebellion of the Crown Prince and the King of Qi. I intend to leave this matter to the King of Chu with full authority. Do you have any opinions?"
Everyone looked at each other.
Yang Gongren, Pei Ju, and Chen Shuda immediately seconded the proposal.
They are happy to see the results.
Xiao Yu lowered his head and seconded the proposal. Because of his relationship with Li Yuanji, he was now anxious and worried that he would be implicated.
As for Pei Ji, he didn't even dare to say anything.
"Okay, you all agree, I will talk about another thing." Li Yuan said: "I have been tortured by wind disease and cannot handle the affairs of the government. Now I am the king of Chu to supervise the country and oversee the military and political affairs. When I recover, I will return to the court.
.
Prior to this, the King of Chu made the final decision on all major matters in the army and the court. I hope that you can work together to assist the King of Chu in governing the Tang Dynasty."
He knew that his current body could not hold up and he was unable to handle government affairs at all.
Only the King of Chu can intimidate the young people.
"According to the decree." Yang Gongren, Chen Shuda, and Pei Ju all raised their hands at the same time.
Xiao Yu also agreed.
Pei Ji pursed his lips and whispered: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is still young. Without your guidance, I am afraid that in a short time..."
"Shut up!" Li Yuan said harshly: "I said, let the King of Chu supervise the country, who dares to question it!"
After being scolded, Pei Ji quickly bowed his head and agreed.
After saying all this, Li Yuan couldn't hold on anymore and fell stiffly on the bed.
An hour passed, and Li Yuan fell into deep sleep again under the care of the imperial doctor.
"Your Majesty is very weak now. If there is nothing wrong, it is best not to disturb His Majesty, otherwise it will make His Majesty's condition worse." The imperial doctor told Li Zhiyun.
Li Zhiyun said: "I will remember it."
After seeing off the imperial doctor, Li Zhiyun left with several ministers.
Li Zhiyun handed over the matter of the rebellion between the prince and the king of Qi to Chen Shuda, Pei Ju and Yang Gongren.
No one dares to refute this. In other words, even if they dare not refute, there is no need to refute.
Needless to say, Chen Shuda, Pei Ju, and Yang Gongren are Li Zhiyun's people, so they will naturally not object.
Pei Ji and Xiao Yu also knew at this time that the emperor's golden words ordered the king of Chu to supervise the country. If there was an order, they could only obey it.
After sending Pei Ji and Xiao Yu away, Li Zhiyun looked at Chen Shuda and the others.
"Investigating the rebellion of the Crown Prince and the King of Qi requires more efforts from the three Prime Ministers. I will ask Du Ruhui and Xue Shou to cooperate with you in the investigation."
"yes."
In fact, there is nothing to investigate at all, because it is a fact that the prince and the king of Qi rebelled. What they have to do now is nothing more than the final finishing work.
In other words, sort out the evidence and convict.
Yang Gongren looked excited and wanted to say a few words of congratulations, but remembered that it was not the right time to say these words, so he suppressed his joy.
Pei Ju was a little emotional. He thought that supporting the king of Chu to seize the throne would have to go through some twists and turns, but he didn't expect that the situation was now set.
At the same time, he felt happy for his decision.
The prince and the king of Qi rebelled. In the current Tang Dynasty, who can stop the king of Chu?
As for Chen Shuda, he was happy. On the one hand, he was happy that King Qin's great revenge was avenged, and on the other hand, he was happy that he was right in relying on King Chu.
Li Zhiyun was not interested in guessing what the three of them thought.
Because Lao Li's attitude just now was a bit unexpected.
He originally thought that after the rebellion between the prince and King Qi, Lao Li would continue to hold on to power, but unexpectedly, his body could no longer bear it.
It would be best if it could be over safely. Until the last moment, Li Zhiyun did not want to deal a fatal blow to this waning old man.
