Li Zhi sat on the chair, lowered his head slightly and looked at Changsun Wuji who was kneeling in front of him, and asked: "Is there any imperial edict from the father?"
Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment and said: "Everyone knows your Majesty's wish. Now the East Palace is immoral and the world has turned its back on it, causing the soldiers and civilians in Guanzhong to come to the city to remonstrate. This is truly an eternal scandal! Your Highness's succession to the throne is justified and what the people want.
Just..."
"I am asking you,"
He was interrupted again by Li Zhi: "Is there any last edict from my father?"
Changsun Wuji's mind turned and he said: "Of course there is a posthumous edict... When the rebel army outside captures the Taiji Palace and deposes the prince, His Highness can take out the posthumous edict and issue it to the world, and everyone will believe it."
There is definitely no posthumous edict, but what does that mean? All we need to do is capture the Taiji Palace, find the jade seal, temporarily write a posthumous edict, stamp it with the jade seal, and promulgate it to the world. By then, the overall situation has been decided, who can
Are you so full that you question the authenticity of this edict?
The general trend is at hand, even if some people question it, it is useless.
Li Zhi sat on the chair, bowing his head and saying nothing.
Changsun Wuji secretly sensed that something was not going well and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, His Majesty's death was destiny, and His Majesty died in the Liaodong Army. Even until the day of his funeral, he was still obsessed with the fact that Your Majesty failed to succeed as Crown Prince.
Your Highness is so sincere and filial, how can you live up to Your Majesty's love and trust? Your Highness was promoted to Crown Prince and then succeeded to the throne as Emperor, which is indeed destiny. Your Majesty and Queen Wende's souls can rest in peace!"
Li Zhi shook his head slightly, with a tangled expression, but still refused to speak.
Changsun Wuji advised: "Your Highness has always been determined to win the position of Crown Prince. Now that God has given you this opportunity, you should fight bravely and fight decisively! Don't you want to be promoted to Crown Prince, ascend the throne as emperor, and devote your whole life to accomplish the mission of Your Majesty?
His legacy?"
Faintly, he noticed that Li Zhi's mood might have undergone some unpredictable changes, which made him anxious.
And it is difficult to understand that this pheasant slave has always been eyeing the position of the crown prince. He has secretly done so many tricks and made many stumbling blocks. His only thought is to take the East Palace instead and become the heir to the empire. Then he will work hard to govern, expand the territory and expand the territory.
The Tang Empire reached another peak.
Why is it that the opportunity is right in front of him, and as long as he nods, Guan Longmen will desperately push him to that coveted position... but he is so hesitant?
Li Zhi was silent for a long time, then raised his head and said slowly: "My uncle has worked hard and thought very hard for my king's affairs. He drags his old body and travels thousands of miles to return to the capital to take charge of the overall situation. I am grateful and deeply touched.
Within five…”
These words made Changsun Wuji feel close to his heart, but he was full of doubts. Why couldn't I see even a hint of "tears of gratitude" on your face?
Then, Li Zhi let out a long breath and continued: "It's just that the position of prince, or the position of emperor, from now on, don't mention it again."
"..."
Although Changsun Wuji has been used to seeing storms all his life and has been tempered for a long time, he was stunned at this moment. He almost thought that he had gone deaf, blinded, and had auditory hallucinations...
After a pause, he came back to his senses, looked at Li Zhi in disbelief, and asked, "What are you talking about, Your Highness?"
Li Zhi frowned and then relaxed his eyebrows. He looked at Changsun Wuji and sighed: "The crown prince of the Tang Dynasty is the elder brother of the prince. He was appointed by his father to announce it to the world and his ancestors. Now that his father has passed away, then
The prince's brother should inherit the throne and ascend the throne as the emperor. As a human minister, if he still covets the throne at this time, how is he any different from a rebellious minister?"
Changsun Wuji looked confused.
He really couldn't understand Li Zhi's intention at this moment, and couldn't help but ask: "But hasn't His Highness been seeking a reserve position? Everyone in the world knows about this. Could it be that at this time, Your Highness thought that the Crown Prince would forget it?
From everything in the past, do you think His Highness has never had any intention of getting involved in the throne?"
Among your Majesty's disciples, there are not many who covet the throne. However, even the King of Wei, Li Tai, has never done more to secure the throne than Li Zhi. Now that the God-given opportunity is right in front of you, even Li Zhi, what are you doing?
You don’t have to do anything, the Guanlong clan will automatically push you to the supreme position in the world, but you say that you want to be a loyal minister and a good general, and support the crown prince’s ascension to the throne?
This bastard must have taken the wrong medicine...
Li Zhi said: "What the prince thinks, that is the prince's brother's business. When I fought for the crown prince, I did not secretly frame the prince's brother, but blindly showed his talents and filial piety in front of his father. In this world,
The world belongs to my father. Whoever rules this world belongs to him. Therefore, I will only fight for the throne from my father, but I will never snatch it from the prince's brother. If my father is still there, then
I will still try my best to fight for the throne and let my father know that I am the one most suitable to take over the empire. However, now that my father has passed away and has not left any legacy, the crown prince of the empire is still the elder brother of the prince.
No one can change it! How can I, the king, ignore the crown prince appointed by my father, ignore the righteousness of brothers and sisters, have no father and no brothers, and only pursue my own selfish desires? Such unfaithful, unfilial, traitorous and rebellious behavior, I will not
Why."
Changsun Wuji stared blankly at the nephew he had grown up with, shocked and angry.
What's shocking is that this kid has been planning to reserve the throne for many years, and now seeing that the reserve is easily available, he has made such an extremely stupid decision; what's outraged is that this "unfaithful, unfilial, traitor and disobedient" is not just a scolding of his grandson Wuji.
?
This is really unreasonable!
Could it be that this kid bumped into a guest today?
However, this is not important. The most important thing is that the Guanlong clan has exhausted all its wealth, gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, poured into Chang'an City, besieged the Taiji Palace, and was about to enter the forbidden palace and depose the prince. In the end, it was fully supported.
His Royal Highness the King of Jin retreated from the battle and quit...
So what is the significance of this military remonstrance?
If the King of Jin is not supported and the prince is deposed, no matter who ascends to the throne or even ascends the throne as emperor in the future, he will definitely define the military remonstrance of the Guanlong clan as "treason".
No matter how great the Longmen Clan's achievements in the past and how strong their power is today, they will definitely be completely eliminated.
Even though there won't be a killing spree until rivers of blood flow, the direct descendants of the Guanlong families will either be killed in half or exiled for three thousand miles. This behemoth that has risen from the six towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty to seize the power of the world will be in his hands.
completely annihilated...
How does this work!
Just thinking about the consequences, Changsun Wuji felt chills in his heart and his whole body was cold. He no longer cared about the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers and stood up from the ground suddenly.
I stood up too hard, and suddenly I felt dizzy, and I almost fell...
Finally he stabilized himself, calmed down, glared at Li Zhi, and yelled: "This is ridiculous! There are tens of thousands of people in Guanlongmen, who are not afraid to make enemies of the world for the sake of His Highness's great cause, and shed their blood with their heads.
We are willing to take extraordinary risks, and we are about to achieve great success, but Your Highness abandons us at this time, how can we bear it? You only care about loyalty, filial piety and justice, but how will our ministers who charge into battle for you fare?"

Li Zhi blinked and asked curiously: "Where did uncle's words come from? Although I am grateful to all the Guanlong families for their strong support over the years, I had no knowledge of this military remonstrance in advance and did not participate in it, but you have
Raising the banner of my king to depose the East Palace... Is this what my uncle said, all for my king? They are truly a group of loyal ministers and good generals, enough to make their name last forever."
He is not stupid, how could he not know the purpose of shutting down the Longmen clan?
When we met in advance to start the rebellion, we were not told, and we were not even asked for any opinions on how to deploy our troops. It was not until the rebels entered the city and besieged the Tai Chi Palace that they seemed to have a sure chance of victory. Then they came forward to tell us - everything we have done is for
Your Highness.
Why don't you try your best to downplay my influence in this military remonstrance, and then push me to ascend to the throne, so that I have neither merit nor prestige, so that you can override me and seize the power of the government?
Is this king completely being used as your puppet?
After all, I am also of the blood of the Son of Heaven, an emperor and a nobleman. I am played like a puppet on strings by you. I even bear the crime of deposing the East Palace, killing my brothers and sisters, and taking it for you. This is a stench in the history of history. In the end,
Still need to be grateful?
Mother!
All the dirty water was poured on me, but you guys swallowed all the benefits?
Go ahead and dream about your spring and autumn dreams, I won’t play with you anymore!
…
Changsun Wuji was angry and anxious, so he naturally understood the dissatisfaction and resentment in Li Zhi's words. If it were normal, he would have scolded and taught this self-righteous boy a lesson, so that he could understand that an arm cannot twist a thigh. By the way,
Teach him how to respect his elders and not to be disobedient.
However, at the moment, he could only hold back his anger and try to persuade Li Zhi to accept the "good intentions" of the Guanlong clan, stand up obediently and inherit the throne, and then wait until the capital is pacified, then ascend the throne as emperor and decide the overall situation.
Otherwise, Guanlongmen Valve will not be able to end...
