Li Ying has mediocre abilities, but she is not a fool. Starting from Li Jiancheng, he was not unaware of the fate of the princes of the Tang Dynasty.
As Li Sanlang disliked him more and more, and as Zhang Jiuling, the biggest backer in the court, lost power, his sense of crisis naturally became more and more serious.
After Concubine Wu Hui became favored, Concubine Zhao Life, Huangfu Deyi and Liu Cairen in Li Sanlang's palace fell out of favor one after another, and their sons were Prince Li Ying, King E Li Yao and King Guang Li Ju respectively.
The three brothers hated Concubine Wu Hui and gradually came together to form a princeling party. When Zhang Jiuling was dismissed as prime minister and Li Linfu, who belonged to Concubine Wu Hui's party, came to power, the three brothers knew that the situation was over. Not only were the palace and court no longer helpless, but their sworn enemies were still in power.
Under this situation, the three brothers have gradually become frightened. However, the matter was not over yet. While various places in the Tang Dynasty were busy with spring plowing, many nursery rhymes and copybooks appeared in Chang'an City.
The content is the same: "Eighteen sons rule the world, and the second son serves as the supreme emperor." Needless to say, Shibazi is just a Li character.
The second son is very interesting. Among Li Sanlang's many sons, only Li Ying meets this condition.
Because Li Ying was given the name, his real name was Si Qian, and he was also the second son of Li Sanlang. Suddenly, the government and the public were in an uproar.
Needless to say, serving the Supreme Emperor means serving the Supreme Emperor. Second son and supreme emperor, who do you think of when these two words are combined?
Of course it’s Li Er! There is no doubt that what these traditional techniques represent is that Li Sanlang's second son, Li Siqian, wants to serve Li Sanlang as the Supreme Emperor.
In the age of imperial power, what the emperor was most afraid of was this kind of thing. As the saying goes, there is no wind but three feet of waves. At this time, it is a typical situation of preferring to kill the mistake rather than let it go.
While there was a lot of discussion, what everyone found unimaginable was that Li Linfu, who had just been promoted, denounced this matter in public at the court meeting, and said that it was a traitor who instigated the relationship between the father and son of the Tian family. Your Majesty, you must not believe it!
Everyone knew that Li Linfu was supported by Concubine Wu Hui, and he had just been appointed as Wang Fu of King Shou. There was no doubt that he belonged to King Shou.
But now Li Linfu took the initiative to help the prince intercede, which is incredible. Li Sanlang, who was already extremely angry, looked at Li Linfu with some relief.
I feel that this man is loyal and devoted to public service, and he is worthy of being the new prime minister he chose. Li Sanlang was very satisfied with Li Linfu's performance by handling matters impartially and not taking the opportunity to frame the prince to recommend the longevity king, and his right to speak naturally became more and more important.
After returning to his mansion, Li Linfu received Yang Guozhong in his study. Li Linfu, who was drinking tea from a tea bowl, said calmly
"Go back and tell King Shou that the fire has been lit. Whether the water can be boiled depends on whether the other side will jump in." Yang Guozhong saluted respectfully.
"Yes, I will definitely bring the Prime Minister's words to you." Li Linfu put down the tea bowl, looked at Yang Guozhong in front of him, and asked softly
"Did you do this? It's just a matter of naming names. There's no literary talent at all!" Yang Guozhong, who lowered his head, was angry, but he also knew that he was just a nobody now and could only smile with his face. echoed.
But I must be thinking, when I take over, see how I deal with you, this old thing! Li Linfu naturally didn't care what an ant-like figure like Yang Guozhong was thinking. He looked out the window, and his thoughts naturally went away.
Things like the nursery rhyme copybook may seem simple and crude without any means, but it actually grasps the emperor's thoughts extremely accurately.
As Li Sanlang gradually enters his old age, the most important thing is not to allow anyone to threaten the chair that his butt is made of.
The nursery rhymes and copybooks were sent directly to the prince who threatened the chair the most, in front of Li Sanlang.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, the final result is the same. The emperor will be extremely disgusted with the prince and be wary of him.
At this time, if the prince went on an errand and did something wrong... what Li Linfu wondered was, 'Can the young King Shou read people's hearts so accurately?
At this time, Li Yunze had already taken Princess Yang Yuhuan out of the city to rest on Zhuangzi outside the city.
He also asked Li Bai and others to summon their friends, and invited Wang Wei, Yan Zhenqing, Wang Changling and other famous officials and friends to come to King Shou's Zhuangzi for a banquet and party, where they recited poems and composed poems, which was very lively.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is avoiding suspicion and avoiding the stormy Chang'an City.
It's just that this kind of avoidance of suspicion must be done. On this day, while a group of famous officials were drinking happily in Zhuangzi, Li Yunze received Niu Guier, the messenger sent by Concubine Wu Hui from the palace, in the study.
"Your Majesty." Niu Guier said with a respectful salute.
"Your Majesty, I'm ready. It's just a few days away."
"Oh." Li Yunze was noncommittal, as if he didn't take it to heart at all.
"I know." Niu Guier was a little confused. He thought that Li Yunze should be extremely excited at this time, or at worst, very nervous.
But the Shou Wang in front of him was so calm, as if he had nothing to do with him. What did this mean?
Li Yunze looked out the window. The sound of drinking and drinking could be heard from the yard next door, which seemed extremely lively.
"Go back and tell your Majesty that you must not come forward to report to Your Majesty yourself. Find someone who has nothing to do with this kind of thing."
"After the matter is completed, don't personally propose the matter of establishing a prince. Such matters need to be done by ministers from other dynasties." Recalling Concubine Wu Hui's poor operation in history, Li Yunze was also speechless.
He did it by himself when he lured the prince into the palace with his armored soldiers, when he went to complain to Li Sanlang, and when he couldn't wait to propose to King Shou to be the prince, he did it by himself.
What is the purpose of having so many subordinates? Li Sanlang always takes the initiative in everything, even if he is a fool, he still knows that something is wrong.
In the end, he was even scared to death by himself, which really left Li Yunze speechless as he walked out of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood.
The confused Niu Guier left. As for whether Concubine Wu Hui would listen, Li Yunze didn't care. He will not participate in the specific process, and his eyes have already been set on the aftermath.
The atmosphere in Chang'an City became increasingly weird. People in the Prince's Mansion were in panic all day long, and everyone was worried that they would be affected by the violent storm.
As for the prince, he was confused and didn't know what to do. King E Li Yao, King Guang Li Ju, and their brother-in-law Xue Xiu were called into the government almost every day to discuss countermeasures, but none of them had any quick wits and didn't know what to do.
Until that day, when a few frowning people gathered in the Prince's Mansion again to drink wine, Prince Consort Xue Xiu suddenly spoke.
"The day before yesterday, I and the princess went to a party at Princess Yongmu's mansion. All the princesses in Chang'an City went there." Xue Xiu said with a solemn expression.
"During the dinner, I heard Yang Hui say that His Majesty learned that we often gather at the Prince's Mansion and that we colluded with each other for some conspiracy..."
"Nonsense!" Li Ying, who looked impatient, immediately scolded
"Who is talking nonsense?" Li Yao simply shook her head.
"We do meet frequently, but I didn't expect that we would actually give someone a hand." Li Ju had a look of fear on his face.
"Father must be very disappointed with us now, and he might even be deposed..." Several people looked dark, and they were extremely frightened, but they didn't know what to do.
In a depressed mood, several people could only drink one cup after another, and they were already half or six points drunk.
While Mennanran was drinking Mengjiu, someone from the Prince's Palace came to report that there were bandits in the palace and that the palace was now in chaos.
Several people looked at each other, and a bold idea gradually emerged in their minds. When the atmosphere was strange, another disciple came to report that Concubine Yang Shu in the palace had sent someone to tell them that there were bandits in the palace and asked the prince to arrest and expel them.
The breathing rhythm of several people became obviously heavy and rapid. After waiting for a long time, Xue Xiu spoke tremblingly.
"Second son...Feng, Feng Taishang?" There was an eerie silence in the room. In such a weird atmosphere, Prince E Li Yao couldn't bear it anymore.
"When our ancestor Taizong was the general, we were already at the end of our rope with no way out!" But Li Ju, the King of Light, had trembling teeth, and the hand holding the wine glass kept shaking, and he spilled a lot of wine, but in just one sentence Dare not say.
Everyone's eyes were turned to Li Ying. Li Ying understood very well how similar she was to her ancestor Taizong back then.
They are also in dire straits with no way out, and are about to be abolished or even directly executed. At that time, the ancestor Taizong fought desperately in desperate situation, thus further expanding the world.
And now... There is no doubt that the nursery rhyme circulated in Chang'an City says, "Eighteen sons rule the world, and the second son will serve as the emperor."
'It deeply affected him. Li Ying took a few deep breaths, her courage greatly expanded under the stimulation of alcohol.
He looked at Xue Xiu and others with red eyes
"Are you willing to help the orphan?" Xue Xiu was the first to speak out.
"My lord, I am willing to die for the crown prince!" His sister is the crown prince's concubine. This kind of relationship is a typical relationship in which one will be prosperous and the other will suffer.
Even if you don't help the prince, or even bite him and report him, he will definitely not end well in the future.
Therefore, it is better to give it a try. Once the battle is over, the bicycle becomes a motorcycle. Li Ying looked at his two brothers, both of whom lowered their heads and remained silent.
Li Ying said in a deep voice
"If it comes to pass, Gu will never let down the two royal brothers!" Xue Xiu on the side followed suit.
"Two great kings, how many of the deposed princes of the Tang Dynasty can end up well?" In the strange atmosphere, King E Li Yao finally raised his head and nodded vigorously.
"Yeah!" Several people looked at the King of Light Li Ju with a face as golden as paper. Li Ju, the king of light, smiled miserably and had no other choice. If he said no at this time, he would not even be able to get out of the East Palace.
"Well!" If Zhang Jiuling was still there, they only needed to go to Zhang Jiuling to ask how to deal with it at this time, and Zhang Jiuling would definitely make arrangements for them.
It's a pity that Zhang Jiuling is not here, so no one can help them. This is the reason why Zhang Jiuling must be removed before we can officially take action.
On April 17, the twenty-fifth year of Kaiyuan, Prince Li Ying, King of E Li Yao, King of Guang Li Ju, Prince Consort Xue Xiu and their armored soldiers broke into the Daming Palace in the name of clearing the palace and banning bandits!
