On that day, Wang Shoushi reported that King Jin first went to Liang Guogong's Mansion in Chongrenfang, and then paid a visit to King Wei. After returning home, he was depressed and unusually drunk that day... and those days before, King Jin often I woke up in the middle of the night as if I had nightmares.
Who can make King Jin fear and have nightmares at midnight?
At that time, His Majesty Li Er speculated that someone might have intimidated or threatened King Jin, but there was no sufficient reason...
But now he is a little uneasy.
Could it be that someone threatened that the King of Jin must go out to foreign lands, feudalism, and completely withdraw from the battle for the reserve, otherwise there would be unacceptable consequences?
Logically speaking, this is completely reasonable. In order to obtain such power, father and son can turn against each other, brothers and sisters can kill each other, and it is not surprising to see what happens. His Majesty Li Er said this Deeply touched.
So who intimidated or threatened the King of Jin to withdraw from the fight for the throne?
Prince?
Or King Wei?
Or is it Fang Jun?
…
His Majesty Li Er's face was as sinking as water. He sat there and tapped his left hand on the table. The soft sound of "Du Du Du Du" was like a sledgehammer hitting Li Junxian's heart. He was so frightened that Li Junxian was frightened and sweating profusely. .
From ancient times to the present, the change of imperial power has been the most dangerous thing in the world, and it can easily lead to catastrophe, not to mention him, an imperial eagle who knows the secrets of the world? A little contamination will lead to death but no life.
Exhausted……
After a long time, His Majesty Li Er's deep voice sounded in his ears: "Do you think Prince Jin will be coerced by others in this matter?"
Li Junxian swallowed hard. Being able to ask such a question means that His Majesty Li Er is already trying his best to suppress his anger at this moment, and he must have guessed in his heart that there will be a bloody storm at every turn, and he does not know how many people will be affected. How dare he talk nonsense?
He said cautiously: "I don't dare to speak nonsense, but based on King Jin's whereabouts and words in the past few days, it seems that he is not troubled in this regard."
Who in the world dares to intimidate King Jin?
After counting, there are only three or five people. If any one of them has an accident, it will set off huge waves and even bloodshed...
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Wang De walked in lightly: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Jin wishes to see you."
His Majesty Li Er and Li Junxian were both stunned for a moment. Just as they were talking about King Jin, King Jin came...
"Xuan."
"Here!"
Wang De withdrew, and His Majesty Li Er waved his hand to Li Junxian: "Now wait aside and don't make any noise."
"Here." Li Junxian stood with his head lowered.
After a moment, Li Zhi, dressed in regular clothes, came in and saluted His Majesty Li Er: "My son, I have met my father."
Li Junxian asked Li Zhi to greet him and said: "I have finally met your highness."
Li Zhi nodded slightly in greeting, then glanced at Li Junxian with some hesitation.
Li Junxian wanted to quit but didn't dare, so he could only pretend to be confused.
His Majesty Li Er said casually: "General Li is my confidant. If slave Pheasant has anything to say, it's okay to say it. There is no need to avoid it."
Li Junxian showed a slight expression of gratitude, but he couldn't help but cursed in his heart: The fight between you and your son about the reserve is your family matter, why should I, a minister, be in the middle and be frightened?
Not kind...
Li Zhi then stepped forward, knelt on the ground, raised a memorial above his head with both hands, and said loudly: "I want to imitate the ambition of the King of Wu, go out of the town and build a fence for the country, so as to serve as the wings of the country, and forever protect the country and the country of the Tang Dynasty. Prosperous, so I sincerely request you to let my father fulfill your wish!"
Li Junxian lowered his head, wishing he could tuck his head into his crotch, then he would not be able to see or hear anything...
His Majesty Li Er's face was as sinking as water. He did not accept the memorial, nor did he get excited or angry. He just stared at Li Zhi quietly.
Li Zhi kept kneeling and raised the memorial. Seeing his father's delay in expressing his position, Li Zhi glanced secretly and happened to meet his father's eyes. He was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head and his heart was beating fast. With just this glance, it was as if all the secrets in his heart had been exposed by his father, and nothing was left out.
There was an eerie silence in the hall, and you could hear a needle drop.
After a long while, His Majesty Li Er slowly spoke: "Since your mother passed away, I have raised you and Si Zi by my side and taught you personally to compensate for the pain of losing your mother. I ask myself whether I am not only worthy of the people of this world, but also worthy of you. Pheasant slave, there is no one in history who has raised his children personally like me. Recently, you have been whimsical and want to be feudal. I am pleased that your ambition is commendable, but I am sad that you have abandoned me... How can you bear to do this? "
These words were sincere and touched his heart. His eyes even turned slightly red, and he tried his best to suppress his excitement.
He was not in the right position, so he naturally felt guilty in the face of the world's criticism. He also tried hard to restrain his desires, hoping to achieve imperial hegemony and eliminate the sin of "reverse usurpation" in the past. But as for his own children, he believed that no emperor in ancient or modern times had ever been as doting and enlightened as him. He only hoped that no matter who the throne belonged to, the children could get along with each other in friendship and respect each other.
Recently, Li Zhi has been begging to let the feudal side go. Whether it was Li Zhi's own idea or whether he was actually being coerced as he suspected, he cannot accept it.
Li Zhi looked frightened and opened his mouth to speak, but after hesitating for a few times, he lowered his head and cried: "My son is unfilial and unwilling to compete with his brothers for the throne. Even if his father bestows the throne on him, I will never give him the throne." I am also unable to protect my brothers, so I am willing to take the feudal side, and maybe I can achieve a great career, extend my descendants, and pass on the incense. I ask my father to help me."
After saying this, he paused with his head on the ground and continued to cry.
Li Junxian lowered his eyebrows and glanced at Li Zhi wailing and pausing. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart: If Li Zhi is serious about self-isolation, he only needs to convince His Majesty Li Er. He said that he will not fight with his brothers. Relying on his own ability to seal the territory and build a country... But he was crying and crying, but he couldn't help but make people wonder whether he was wronged, and whether this matter was done voluntarily...
Could it be that someone really threatened and intimidated him, and he had to evacuate himself for safety?
He glanced at His Majesty Li Er again, and sure enough, the veins on His forehead were already bulging, and he was trying his best to suppress his anger. He gritted his teeth and asked word for word: "Tell me, do you really want to do this, or do you surrender?" Intimidated by others? Just tell the truth and I will make the decision for you."
Li Zhi was obviously stunned for a moment and stopped crying, but then he quickly looked panicked and waved his hands repeatedly: "Father, please don't misunderstand me, how could anyone coerce my son? It's just that my son often envied King Wu's feudal side, that is, he would not fight with his brothers. Fighting for it can also show off one's talents and knowledge. It happened that the Duke of Yue State said that the Suwa family in the Japanese country was dissatisfied with the rule of the Tang Dynasty. They repeatedly made secret moves to try to take back the mines, fields, and ports ceded and leased to the Tang Dynasty. The Navy In order to completely annihilate it in the near future and merge the Japanese country into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, I want to ask my father to appoint my son as the lord of the Japanese country and to rule the feudal side of the Japanese islands... There is absolutely no one to coerce my son and my father. Your Majesty, you must believe it and must not misunderstand it, otherwise the father and son will be jealous of each other, and the sons and ministers will be guilty..."
Li Junxian was speechless as he listened. Is this a sign of your willingness?
All you have to do is write "Father, you guessed it right, I was coerced" in big letters on my face, right?
If you want to be successful in the court, in addition to your own business ability, you must also know some "acting skills", how to act fake into real, this is an extremely profound knowledge, without this ability, No matter how capable a person is, he cannot move forward.
In this regard, His Royal Highness Prince Jin has great potential, but after all, he is a bit younger and lacks experience, so he looks a bit fake...
However, what was even more beyond his expectation was His Majesty Li Er's reaction. His Majesty Li Er stood up with a "bang" sound, became furious and furious, and shouted loudly: "Fart! You are my son, tell the truth and lies." Can't I tell them apart? Tell me, who is forcing you to give up the fight for the throne, or even ask you to leave town in a foreign land, making it rare for me and you to see each other again in this life? I will chop him alive!"
Li Junxian was stunned. In his opinion, King Jin's acting skills were too artificial and had too many elements of performance, but how could His Majesty still believe it?
However, Li Zhi paused and said in panic: "Father, please calm down. No one will threaten me. This matter is all my own. Father, please don't involve others."
Li Junxian stood by and felt like a thorn in his back. He felt that Li Zhi's expression and words were like a child who was bullied in school but did not dare to mention it to his parents when he returned home for fear of retaliation...
But His Majesty Li Er believed it to be true and shouted angrily: "Are you serious about not telling me? Do you want to piss me off to death?"
Li Zhi kept crying, shook his head and said: "Father, please calm down, I don't dare."
Li Junxian: Are you afraid to make your father angry to death, or are you afraid to say who is coercing you? A "dare not" seems specious and intriguing...
His Majesty Li Er was furious. He slapped the table and ordered Li Junxian: "Lock this cowardly traitor in the house. He is not allowed to leave the house, and no one else is allowed to come into contact with him! You go and give me a thorough investigation. If you are serious, Someone is coercing King Jin, no matter who is involved, we must get to the bottom of it!"
"Here!"
Li Junxian quickly accepted the order, then picked up Li Zhi, who was still crying, and exited the Wude Hall.
Arriving outside the palace, Li Junxian bowed and said, "It is hard to disobey the emperor's order. Your Highness, I have offended you."
Li Zhi wiped the tears on his face, sobbed twice, finally calmed down, and waved his hands: "General, you are worrying too much. I am the one who provoked my father and was punished. I will never blame you. Let's go back to the house now. , but the general doesn’t need to ask any more questions about today’s matter, I won’t say anything.”
Li Junxian nodded, looking at Li Zhi's delicate face, he felt cold in his heart.
His Highness may seem young, but in fact he has an unparalleled grasp of His Majesty's thoughts. Recently, he has made it clear that "Someone is coercing me, but I dare not say it"... The more he keeps his mouth shut, the more His Majesty becomes. Just thinking about it, someone must be in trouble.
I just don’t know if it’s the prince, the king of Wei, or Fang Jun?
This matter could not even be explained when His Majesty Li Er was so angry. After all, His Highness King Jin did not say anything...
Even though there will be no evidence when His Majesty vents his anger... But where is the need for evidence for such a thing? As long as your Majesty decides in your heart, you can do whatever you want.
