Seeing that Li Chengqian was frightened, Yu Zhining softened his heart, sighed slightly, and said softly: "Your Highness, no matter how generous a person is, there is an upper limit in his heart. When he reaches this upper limit, he will often lose control of his emotions and act arbitrarily.
Don’t think about the consequences!”
"Li Yuanchang, Hou Junji's rebellion has reached your Majesty's limit. Your Majesty is now in a state of losing control of his emotions."
"Therefore, I suggest that Your Highness wait for His Majesty's call and then go to His Majesty for explanation."
Hearing Yu Zhining's sincere explanation, Li Chengqian looked very embarrassed, and his eyes were a little dodgey. He did not dare to look at Yu Zhining, so he could only cough dryly and said: "Ahem, what Master Yu said makes sense, but I seem to have done something wrong.
Now, please ask the teacher to save the orphan!"
Yu Zhining was slightly stunned and asked: "Why did Your Highness say this?"
Li Chengqian hesitated: "Before Master Yu came, my father asked Li Junxian to come and summon Gu Qian to Lishan Mountain. Because Gu was very scared, he claimed that he was ill and could not go..."
Yu Zhining was shocked and screamed: "What? Your Highness refused His Majesty's call. Why are you so confused?"
Li Chengqian's face turned pale, he smiled miserably, and murmured to himself: "I'm really not feeling well. Besides, I also want to discuss a countermeasure with Master Yu and you before going!"
Yu Zhining remained silent, thinking of countermeasures in his mind. After a long while, he slowly said: "Your Highness, for now, the only way to resolve your predicament is to seek help from someone, otherwise Your Highness will be in great trouble."
Hearing that there was a way, Li Chengqian was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, and quickly asked: "Who can help the orphan, please tell me clearly."
Yu Zhining's face became solemn and he uttered a few words: "Yang Fan, the Duke of Wannian County."
Li Chengqian was a little confused: "Yang Fan?"
"Yes, it's Yang Fan!" Yu Zhining looked at Li Chengqian and said firmly: "This is the only person who can save His Highness at this moment."
"Although Yang Fan is young, he is deeply trusted by His Majesty. If he can protect you, Your Majesty will definitely consider his suggestions."
"What's more, this time Li Yuanchang and Hou Jun conspired to rebel, and Yang Fan saved him and made great contributions. As long as he is willing to do his best to protect him, His Highness will definitely be safe and sound."
Li Chengqian was a little unsure and smiled brightly: "Although Gu and Yang Fan are not enemies, they are far from the friendship that would allow him to protect Gu!"
Yu Zhining smiled: "Since ancient times, ministers who have made great achievements have never had a good end. Now, Wannian County Duke is already a first-class governor at a young age. His Majesty will definitely not be satisfied with such a great achievement as rescuing him this time.
Know how to reward."
"As long as His Highness finds someone to express his greatness to Yang Fan, he will definitely agree. Of course, Your Highness will also have to make some show of his abilities."
"No matter what, His Highness is the eldest brother of Princess Changle and the uncle of Yang Fan. How can you say there is no friendship?"
"What's more, according to my opinion, Your Majesty does not necessarily have to store it easily!"
Li Chengqian's eyes lit up, and he was full of desire to survive.
Yes, as long as Yang Fan, a great hero, protects him, even if His Majesty Li Er is angry again, he will give Yang Fan this face.
In other words, use Yang Fan's achievements to offset his own mistakes.
As long as His Majesty Li Er gradually calms down, he will naturally not be so angry later.
At that time, I will go and explain myself and apologize.
Even if His Majesty Li Er is still angry, his position as crown prince will not be abolished, let alone his life.
The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was feasible. Li Chengqian said excitedly: "In this case, I'm afraid Yang Fan will be wronged, and I don't know if he is willing to do it?"
"No one knows what my father's temper is. Once he pleads for me, I'm afraid he will have to suffer a lot in order to appease the anger in his heart!"
Yu Zhining nodded slightly: "Your Highness, don't worry. Although Wannian County Duke is sometimes too domineering and acts too wildly, he is firm-minded and will never waver in the face of major right and wrong. As long as we explain the interests to him clearly, he will definitely use the empire to
Our interests come first.”
"His Highness is the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty and cannot be deposed easily. This is the Prime Minister of Wei, the Prime Minister of the Fang... Our consensus is that as long as His Highness can be retained as the Crown Prince, the veteran will recommend himself to persuade Yang Fan."
"Of course, in addition to asking Wannian County Duke for help, His Highness can't be idle. He will immediately set off to ask the Queen for help. As long as the Queen opens her mouth, Your Majesty will not dare to say anything easily!"
There is indeed nothing bragging about Yu Zhining's words. The prince cannot be deposed easily. This is the thought of almost all the important ministers in the court.
The reason why everyone opposes His Majesty Li Er's Yi Chu is not that Li Chengqian is a rare wise king.
Instead, he believed that the ethics of the rule of law must be adhered to, and the position of crown prince must be inherited by the eldest son. This is the basis for stabilizing the rule of law.
If the emperor deposes the prince as he wishes, others will surely follow suit in the future, and the world will be in chaos.
While Yu Zhining and Li Chengqian were discussing, in Zhao Guogong's mansion, Changsun Wuji was sitting on pins and needles in the study.
His Majesty Li Er confessed Yi Chu's thoughts to him a few days ago. After Changsun Wuji came back, he has been thinking about the pros and cons.
Finally, it was concluded that Li Chengqian's position as prince cannot be abolished, at least not for now.
Once Li Tai becomes the crown prince, the Jiangnan family that supports Li Tai will benefit the most.
The Guanzhong family that supports the prince will definitely be suppressed. As the representative of the Guanzhong family, Changsun Wuji absolutely does not want to see this happen.
Now Yang Fan is about to go to Jiangnan, the purpose is to break the monopoly of the Jiangnan family.
If Li Tai ascended to the position of prince, it would run counter to the purpose of weakening the Jiangnan family, and the emperor certainly did not want to see this happen.
So, what exactly does His Majesty Li Er want to do when he proposes Yi Chu?
Is it possible that His Majesty Li Er really wants to build momentum for Li Tai, or does Li Er want to provoke a fight between the Guanzhong family and the Jiangnan family?
"Damn it." The more he thought about it, the more it made sense. Changsun Wuji slapped his head and cursed in his heart!
Although he was sure that His Majesty Li Er was not just a test, but everything was possible, Changsun Wuji's eyes flickered and he was extremely uncertain.
If His Majesty Li Er really wants to depose the Crown Prince, then depending on His Majesty's temper, it may not be long before Yi Chu's day.
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, and Changsun Wuji didn't know what to do.
At this time, there was the sound of footsteps outside the study, and Changsun Wuji had to take a deep breath, and immediately became calm about honor and disgrace.
"Father!"
The visitor is Changsun Wuji’s fourth son, Changsun Yan.
"What did you find out?" Changsun Wuji asked with a gloomy face.
"Li Junxian returned to Chang'an this time to invite the prince and King Wei to meet His Majesty at Lishan Mountain. However, the prince claimed to be ill and did not go. Instead, King Wei was invited over." Changsun Yan replied in a low voice.
"Idiot!" Changsun Wuji cursed in a low voice: "Does the prince really want to rebel? How dare he resist the decree at this juncture? Aren't you afraid that King Wei will say bad things about him in front of His Majesty?"
After thinking for a while, Changsun Wuji stood up and said: "Prepare a sedan for someone, he is going to the East Palace!"
"Promise!" Zhang Sunyan agreed, opening his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated, turned around and retreated.
Prince Li Chengqian is now feared by everyone. Wouldn't it make the emperor even more unhappy if his father approached him at this time?
Changsun Wuji came to the East Palace in a hurry.
Under the guidance of the chamberlain, when they arrived at the room, they saw the harmonious atmosphere between Prince Li Chengqianzheng and Yu Zhining talking.
Changsun Wuji was a little dazed.
This scene is a bit weird!
It’s already burning. How can the prince still be in such a mood?
Of course, what surprised Changsun Wuji even more was the relationship between the prince and Yu Zhining.
When did the relationship between two people become so harmonious?
Although Yu Zhining is the prince's master, this person is not so easy to talk to.
Of course, it goes without saying that Yu Zhining was a talented scholar. His great-grandfather was Yu Jin, the Taishi of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He came from a scholarly family!
In the fourth year of Wude, Li Shimin, who was still the king of Qin, was awarded the title of General Tiance and opened a literature museum.
Yu Zhining was awarded the title of Zhonglang in the Tiance Mansion and concurrently served as a bachelor of literature. He was one of the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Mansion. In terms of qualifications, he was no lower than his eldest grandson Wuji!
However, there is something wrong with Yu Zhining.
This person has a strong temper and a pedantic mind. He never speaks tactfully and does things in a straightforward way, and he can make people mad by being direct!
I remember that one time, Li Chengqian liked Turkic costumes, so he built barracks in the East Palace to house the Turks.
Upon seeing this, Ding Zhining immediately admonished: "Turks are ambitious and difficult to educate. It is very inappropriate to introduce them into the East Palace. Besides, the dignified prince actually pretends to be a Turk, which is against the court etiquette. Why don't you pay attention?"
So just like Li Er complained..."
The final result was that Li Chengqian was punished.
This kind of thing happened more than once. Anyway, in Li Chengqian's view, no matter what he did, Yu Zhining would find something wrong.
If you don't like it, just don't like it. Who cares?
But Ding Zhining always goes to His Majesty Li Er to complain, which is unbearable!
In the end, the prince even revealed his intention to kill Yu Zhining.
Because of this temperament, the relationship between Li Chengqian and Yu Zhining can be said to be not good.
But now, what did I see?
Changsun Wuji rubbed his eyes and looked at the two people talking happily in disbelief, looking dumbfounded.
Li Chengqian pushed himself up from the couch and said with a smile: "Chengqian is ill and can't get up to greet him from afar. Please don't be offended, uncle!"
Changsun Wuji swallowed, feeling that something was wrong with the style of painting.
At this time, Li Chengqian shouldn't be on tenterhooks and living in panic. Why doesn't he feel worried at all?
I don’t know whether to say that this nephew has a strong endurance, or that he just started to mess up!
Now that he has arrived, shouldn't Li Chengqian cry and beg him to intercede with His Majesty to keep his position as prince?
How come it’s over with just one word so lightly?
Although he was very polite, Li Chengqian did not look panicked.
How strange!
At this time, Yu Zhining stood up, greeted Changsun Wuji with a smile, and said to Prince Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, it is no longer necessary to delay. I will take my leave first. Even if I risk my life, I will facilitate this matter.
"
Li Chengqian quickly bowed and saluted: "Thank you for your work, master, please go slowly!"
Yu Zhining smiled in return and turned to leave.
"Your Highness, when did you become so close to Yu Zhanshi?" Changsun Wuji asked suspiciously.
Li Chengqian smiled awkwardly and said, "Well...ahem...my uncle is here, but what's the matter?"
He can't say that Yu Zhining is trying to save his life, and he can't keep a straight face!
Seeing that Li Chengqian refused to answer directly, Changsun Wuji didn't mind.
He retreated to the door and looked around to make sure there was no one around. Then he returned to the room and lowered his voice and said worriedly: "Your Highness, do you know that Your Majesty wants to save money easily?"
However, what disappointed him was that Li Chengqian was expressionless throughout the whole process, and after listening, he still looked calm and calm.
"Uncle filtered it!"
"filter?"
Changsun Wuji was dumbfounded and said hurriedly: "This time Hou Junji conspired to rebel under the banner of His Highness. Now that Hou Junji is defeated, His Majesty will definitely turn his suspicious eyes to His Highness. Aren't you worried at all?"
Li Chengqian changed his panic and smiled, staring at Changsun Wuji with a burning gaze: "Uncle, are you worried that your father doesn't have Yi Chu's thoughts? As long as your father wants to, he will never care about your thoughts.
?”
"Your Highness, be careful what you say!" Changsun Wuji was frightened to death and said anxiously: "How can you say such treacherous words? Your Highness, be careful that walls have ears!"
That means that there are some things that are fine to know, but cannot be said.
Li Chengqian sighed in his heart.
How could he not know what Changsun Wuji was thinking?
Obviously he wanted to ask him to keep his position as prince, so that he could get more benefits after he ascended the throne.
In Li Chengqian's view, Changsun Wuji was getting further and further away from him.
This uncle considers more the interests of the family. If he wants this old fox to speak for him, he cannot reveal his thoughts at all, otherwise he will definitely be manipulated by the other party.
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but think.
If he relied on Changsun Wuji for everything, even if he could ascend the throne in the future, the entire court would definitely be Changsun Wuji's confidants.
Then wouldn't he, the emperor, become a mere commander? This outcome is really unimaginable.
Cold sweat dripped down Li Chengqian's back, and his originally pale face became even more ugly. Just thinking about it made Li Chengqian scared to death!
He simply didn't dare to think about it anymore. His mind was buzzing now, and he only had one thought: it seemed that he had to make good friends with Yang Fan, his brother-in-law.
As Yu Zhining said, Yang Fan is capable and young. If used properly, he will definitely become his right-hand man.
What's more important is that with Princess Changle's relationship, as long as she expresses enough goodwill, Yang Fan will definitely be able to use her to her advantage.
The more Li Chengqian thought about it, the more it made sense!
As long as Yang Fan keeps his position as crown prince this time and he works hard to win over Yang Fan, Li Er will definitely seriously consider Yi Chu's decision.
Just like Yu Zhining said.
Does the emperor really have to depose himself?
Li Chengqian definitely doesn’t want to!
What is Li Er most afraid of?
What he fears most is that his sons will imitate him by killing his brothers, thus leaving an eternal legacy!
As long as he, the eldest son, can fulfill his duties, no matter how outstanding the King of Wei is, his father will not be easy to lose!
Because once he is deposed and replaced by another prince, it will leave a hint of endless disaster to future generations - the throne can be fought for!
From then on, every time a new emperor ascends the throne, it will be accompanied by intrigues and bloodshed.
The foundation of the empire will be exhausted again and again, and eventually the empire will fall apart and be wiped out.
Li Er absolutely doesn't want to see the empire he built with his own hands turn into that kind of situation.
Therefore, as Yu Zhining said, there is no need to fight at all.
Because he is the eldest son and the natural successor of the empire, only he, Li Chengqian, is qualified to inherit this beautiful country!
Of course, the prerequisite is to overcome this difficulty.
Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief, clenched his fists tightly, raised his eyes to look at Changsun Wuji, and said softly: "Since uncle knows that my father has Yi Chu's idea, I wonder if he can give me some advice? Gu Ruo wants to avoid being deposed, so he needs to
What price do you have to pay?"
The implication is a transaction.
Changsun Wuji was startled and looked at Li Chengqian in front of him in confusion.
Is this what the prince who obeyed his words said?
Whenever he talks about this, the prince always panics and panics all day long. Today's change is too big!
