Li Shenfu yawned and waved his hands to repel the maids. When only the two of them were left in the hall, he scolded: "Is your head so full of flesh that you can't even think straight? This Can such things be said in front of outsiders?"
Li Daoli said awkwardly: "My nephew is confused because he cares about me. He just thinks that since he can serve by Uncle Wang's side, he will naturally be his caring person."
"Huh, no matter how considerate you are, you must be careful about the truth that keeping secrets secret will harm yourself."
Li Shenfu snorted, very unhappy.
"Yes, yes, Uncle Wang taught me that, please pay attention in the past."
Although Li Daoli was only ten years younger than Li Shenfu, he was a generation behind him. He was more flattering and less forceful, so he didn't dare to say more, so he had to admit his mistake, but he didn't think so.
Li Shenfu then said: "Why do you care so much? Although your grandson is responsible for the matter, those who take action are all dead men. No matter whether he succeeds or not, he will never be involved. Liu Renyuan lacks courage and will definitely Don’t dare to kill harshly, this matter is foolproof.”
"But after all, Liu Renyuan was raised by Fang Jun and was loyal to Fang Jun. How dare he stay out of Fang Yizhi's assassination? After all, the entire Japanese country is under the control of the navy. If Liu Renyuan goes crazy and needs to arrest the murderer, he will There is no guarantee that something unexpected will not happen.”
Although he had given birth to several sons and many grandsons, he was the only one who loved his eldest son and his grandson the most. He believed that he could become a great person, so he focused on cultivating him. Otherwise, he would not have followed Li Shenfu's instructions and sent his grandson to Japan. Host this matter as an experience.
Li Daoli has been having trouble sleeping and eating these two days, fearing that something might go wrong. What if Liu Renyuan goes crazy and wants to give Fang Jun an explanation, but his grandson refuses to obey, and accidentally kills him?
Although the purpose of this action is to anger Fang Jun and promote the development of the situation, it must not cost the life of his grandson...
Li Shenfu was very dissatisfied. He coughed several times in anger and cursed: "You're a worthless thing. As long as you get involved in this kind of thing, it's a road of no return. You'll either achieve great things and build up the country, or you'll die and be executed." , if you lose, how can your grandson survive?"
Li Daoli looked ugly, and he understood the truth, but the problem is that if it comes to the end of the world, neither he nor his grandson will be able to survive. But it has just begun, why should he take my grandson's life?
After all, it was because he was getting older and he had been playing around with the maid for a long time. Li Shenfu was low on energy and said with drooped eyelids: "Okay, okay, I will guarantee that this matter will be foolproof. If something happens to your grandson, I’ll give you a grandson as compensation!”
Li Daoli hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Uncle Wang, where did you start talking about this? My nephew is just concerned, so don't be upset, Uncle Wang."
Li Shenfu sighed and said helplessly: "Do you think I am willing to participate in this kind of thing? When Li Er came to power, he guarded us clan members like wild beasts and raised them in cages. We were not comfortable at all. That's okay That’s it, all dynasties have only been stricter, not the strictest, in guarding the clan. Who said we are the closest people to that position in the entire world?”
He took a sip of tea, gasped a few times, and continued: "But first, Li Er died suddenly. No one knows whether there was any treacherous conspiracy in this, but His Majesty must have taken this matter to heart, because he also After becoming an emperor, how could he not be prepared for something like this to happen to him? Moreover, Changsun Wuji and the King of Jin rebelled twice in a row. They were euphemistically called "Bingjian", but in fact they were no different from the earlier rebellions. Although they had been put down, However, there are countless people in the royal family who have secretly collaborated with the rebels. His Majesty seems to be generous and will not pursue any investigation, but how can he let this kind of thing go lightly? He is just waiting, waiting until his throne is impregnable, and the world is over. If everyone surrenders, they will definitely counterattack and take revenge."
"Who says it isn't?"
Li Daoli also sighed: "The problem is who in the clan has had contact with the rebels and even provided military pay and food. It is impossible to tell who is truly innocent. Once the old affairs are settled, it will inevitably be widely implicated, and all the clan members will be involved. It’s hard to live alone.”
This is what the entire clan fears.
The sudden death of Emperor Taizong, the rebellion of Changsun Wuji, and the rebellion of King Jin were three major events in a row. It is absolutely impossible to say that the clan was not involved, but to what extent was it involved? How many people are participating?
No one can tell.
Therefore, as long as Li Chengqian counterattacks and counts, it will inevitably be widely implicated, and everyone in the clan will be in danger and have trouble sleeping.
Should he wait for Li Chengqian to secure his position and free up his hands to kill many people in the clan, or should he gather together and strike first?
There is no need to consider this issue. Let alone Li Chengqian, who lacks prestige. Even when His Majesty Li Er, who was brilliant and wise, was alive, there was more than one rebellion within the clan, such as the rebellion of Li Yuanying and Hou Junji. Is it really just the two of them?
It's just that most of them were suppressed in the end and never spread outside.
The entire clan conquered the world through rebellion. It has only been a few years, and the rebellious blood in their bones has not yet cooled down. How can they be willing to surrender?
Now the first step has been taken, and the effect is very good.
Li Daoli said: "My nephew has no talent and no ambition. After he is willing to depend on Uncle Wang, he will be satisfied if he can achieve prosperity and live with his country."
Li Shenfu closed his drooped eyelids slightly and snorted: "I'm just a target being pushed out. What can I protect you? I can't even protect myself."
If this kind of thing succeeds, the dragon will swim in the nine heavens, and if it fails, it will be doomed. The turning point in the process must be dangerous and dangerous. Not every initiator can make it to the end, and some people will even fall under the sword of their own people.
Who can protect whom?
Who is willing to protect whom?
Li Daoli's expression changed slightly, he felt a little uneasy and regretted getting involved.
Seeking skin from a tiger...
*****
"What did you say?!"
In the imperial study room, after hearing the report from the chamberlain Wang De, Li Chengqian shouted in disbelief, his fair and round face full of surprise and anger.
Wang De swallowed his saliva and said cautiously: "Recently, imperial doctors have been going to Shujing Palace many times. I thought His Royal Highness Changle was ill and was worried, so I looked through the initial diagnosis records of the Imperial Medical Office, but found that no one went to Shujing Palace. I noticed something was wrong with the records of His Majesty Changle's consultation, so I interrogated him severely and found out... I found out that His Majesty Changle was pregnant. I didn't dare to hide it, so I hurriedly came to report to His Majesty."
He doesn't want to get involved in this matter either!
Not to mention that he and Fang Jun have a very good personal relationship. The two of them depend on each other and help each other inside and outside. The huge hidden dangers that this scandal may bring are enough for him to avoid it.
But as the chief chamberlain, he is in charge of all affairs in the palace. If he waits until this matter comes out and he is ignorant, it will be a death penalty!
"It doesn't make sense! It doesn't make sense!"
Li Chengqian was furious and cursed angrily: "Mother! What does his second wife think of the royal family? He dares to have an affair with the princess. It is simply lawless!"
The focus was naturally not on "having an affair with the princess". He, as the emperor, did not care about such matters, but "pregnancy before marriage" after the affair was something Li Chengqian could not accept. He felt that his authority as emperor had been seriously challenged.
Wang Dezhan was trembling, standing humbly on one side, not daring to say a word.
Li Chengqian cursed a lot and vented his anger, but in the end he could only turn into depression. He kicked over a stool and sat there, sinking like water and sulking.
He was extremely dissatisfied with Fang Jun about this matter. He could tolerate Fang Jun's private trysts and secret affairs with Princess Changle, and let the gossip blow in his ears. After all, Princess Changle was his biological sister. To this day, he married an honorable minister for the sake of the royal family. After all, Fang Jun's achievements were enough to make him turn a blind eye or turn a blind eye.
Princess Changle is only in the age of flowers. Whether she has been coaxed by Fang Jun's sweet words or she likes Fang Jun, a world-famous hero with both civil and military skills, it is absolutely impossible for the two parties to get married. When the passion subsides in the past few years, she will naturally find a good family to marry. .
As for whether he would maintain this relationship after marriage, he didn't bother to care...
But getting pregnant before marriage was extremely difficult for him to accept, because it meant that Princess Changle would most likely never remarry from now on, and would stay with Fang Jun wholeheartedly, completely throwing away the integrity and reputation of the Li Tang royal family. .
But what makes him depressed and aggrieved is that even if he is dissatisfied and angry again, what can he do?
Punish Princess Changle severely?
At that time, his biological sister had been in a good relationship since she was a child. No matter when the late emperor wanted to change the throne or now when he ascended the throne, she had always stood firmly on his side and provided unreserved support. How could she bear to punish her severely?
Punish Fang Jun severely?
That's even more impossible. Previously, when Fang Jun was deprived of the military power of the Jinwu Guards, he was worried that the other party would be dissatisfied, so he summoned him to the palace to have a meal together to appease him, and even asked the queen to accompany him. If he was severely punished for this now, wouldn't it be better? Will the gap between the two parties increase and trust decrease?
Until now, Fang Jun is still the strongest foundation stone under his throne, so naturally he cannot dig his own foundation.
After thinking about it, I could only hold this matter in my heart, and said with anger: "I ordered the Imperial Medical Office not to let out a word about this matter, otherwise the Imperial Medical Office will be severely punished! In addition, inform the Queen, Ask the queen to go to Changle to persuade her that it would be best to abort the fetus, and inform Changle that I will definitely compensate her."
When Changle was just a teenager, he followed the order of the late emperor and married Changsun Chong. As a result, he lived an extremely depressed and aggrieved life in Changsun's family. He had to swallow his anger and give up the best years of his life in the face of endless grievances. However, after many years of marriage, they continued to suffer. Not a single heir.
Li Chengqian knew very well what an heir meant to a woman these days, so he couldn't bear to make such a decision.
But for the sake of the reputation of the royal family, I had to endure the pain.
The worst thing to do is to make up for it in the future. When Changle chooses a son-in-law to marry in the future, the dowry must be the highest among princesses in the past dynasties, and the husband-in-law will be generously rewarded, and high-ranking officials will not be stingy when showing off their titles.
