Li Heng wants to ascend the throne!
Wang Zhongsi understood Li Heng's thoughts instantly.
At the same time, this is also asking him what he wants to say and whether he supports it or not.
This suddenly made Wang Zhongsi silent and didn't know how to answer. Wang Zhongsi must have supported Li Heng's ascension to the throne deep in his heart.
However, this support was based on Li Longji's voluntary abdication and Li Hengneng's peaceful accession to the throne, rather than through other tough and harsh means such as forcing the throne.
It goes without saying that Wang Zhongsi has feelings for Li Heng. The two grew up together and he regards Li Heng as a brother.
But similarly, Wang Zhongsi was extremely respectful and grateful to Li Longji, almost treating him as his biological father. After all, if Li Longji hadn't adopted him, he wouldn't be where he is today.
Therefore, Wang Zhongsi has very strong feelings for both Li Longji and Li Heng.
At the same time, Wang Zhongsi's most ideal wish for Li Longji and Li Heng is that they can replace each other peacefully. In this way, he will fully assist Li Longji when Li Longji is in power. After Li Longji abdicates, He continued to assist Li Heng.
And for Li Longji, Wang Zhongsi, in addition to respecting and being grateful, also had some admiration, because Li Longji created the prosperous Kaiyuan era.
Although Li Longji was super awesome in the later stage, Li Longji was really not bad in the early stage. He was definitely a rare wise man in ancient and modern times.
So although Wang Zhongsi came to Beijing to remonstrate this time and had the idea of using force to intimidate Li Longji, Wang Zhongsi never thought of forcing Li Longji to abdicate.
The main purpose of Wang Zhongsi's visit to Beijing this time was to clear the emperor's side and strengthen the imperial court.
Eliminate Li Linfu, Bai Yuxian and other treacherous officials and rebellious parties, thereby restoring clarity to the court.
Regarding Li Longji, Wang Zhongsi was very willing to continue to support him.
In the end, he never expected that Li Heng would suddenly say such words to him.
This made Wang Zhongsi silent for a moment.
Seeing Wang Zhongsi's silence, Li Heng couldn't sit still. In his opinion, this time Wang Zhongsi came to Beijing and wanted to challenge the realm of martial arts and supernatural powers, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him to ascend the throne.
As long as Wang Zhongsi is willing to support him, he will surely be able to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and liquidate people like Li Linfu and Bai Yuxian.
"My father is old and it's time to abdicate. Today's Tang Dynasty is in urgent need of a truly powerful emperor to turn the tide. I want to ascend the throne and revive the Tang Dynasty. I wonder if my brother is willing to help me."
Li Heng simply looked at Wang Zhongsi directly.
This is forcing yourself.
Wang Zhongsi couldn't help but feel complicated. Looking at Li Heng with fiery eyes and unabashed ambition, he suddenly felt that he didn't seem to fully understand Li Heng in the past.
"His Majesty wants to ascend the throne, and the loyal heirs will fully support it. But now that His Majesty is still on the throne, there is no need for His Majesty to be in a hurry."
In the end, Wang Zhongsi remained silent for a while.
Although he had a deep relationship with Li Heng since childhood and was very willing to see Li Heng ascend the throne, Wang Zhongsi would definitely not be able to do it if he wanted him to support Li Heng to ascend the throne and force Li Longji to abdicate.
"The top priority now is to clean up the court and eradicate Li Linfu and other treacherous ministers and rebels."
Refused!
Li Heng's face froze instantly when he heard this.
Immediately, he couldn't help but feel shocked and angry.
He never expected that Wang Zhongsi, who had always been a brother-in-law with him, actually refused to support him on the throne.
Li Heng was instantly shocked and angry.
But soon, he suppressed the shock and anger in his heart, because he knew that if he wanted to make a comeback, Wang Zhongsi would be his only support, so no matter how angry he was at the moment, he could never show it. Even if he was angry, he would at least wait. Let’s talk about it after everything is done.
Thinking of this, Li Heng suppressed the shock and anger in his heart and forced a smile to Wang Zhongsi.
"Brother is right, I am a little impatient. The most urgent task is to clean up the court and eradicate Li Linfu, Bai Yuxian and other traitorous officials and the party."
Wang Zhongsi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Li Heng said.
Although he did not want to support Li Heng in forcing Li Longji to abdicate, he also did not want to have a stalemate with Li Heng.
Regarding the issue between Li Longji and Li Heng, what Wang Zhongsi has always been thinking about is that he hopes that the father and son can replace the throne peacefully, so that he does not have to be embarrassed, because whether it is for Li Longji or Li Heng, Wang Zhongsi has always been concerned about it. They have deep feelings and regard them as their own relatives.
But Wang Zhongsi ignored one thing, that is, the most ruthless imperial family.
In ordinary families, father and son may turn against each other because of money, etc., not to mention the struggle for the throne.
In this regard, Wang Zhongsi completely failed to notice that he was too idealistic.
More than half an hour later, almost as soon as Wang Zhongsi left, Li Heng's face became visibly gloomy, especially when he looked at Wang Zhongsi's leaving figure.
Li Heng did not expect that Wang Zhongsi would refuse to support him on the throne, which made him feel betrayed.
He couldn't help but feel dissatisfied with Wang Zhongsi.
Then Li Heng's thoughts couldn't help but start spinning.
Although Wang Zhongsi just rejected the idea of supporting him to ascend the throne and force the palace directly, Li Heng did not intend to give up so easily.
Because he felt that this was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him. If he missed it, he would have to wait until the next time for who knows how long.
And he has been the prince for more than ten years, which is long enough.
He no longer wants to be the prince, he wants to be the emperor, the emperor who rules everything with his words.
What's more, if Wang Zhongsi refuses to support him as emperor this time, then there may be another time.
And he, Li Heng, doesn't like to pin his fate on others, especially after the last time Huangfu Weiming's military remonstrance failed and he almost got involved.
Li Heng did not allow his fate to be left to others.
He must seize this opportunity.
It was up to Wang Zhongsi whether he wanted to support him on the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
Soon Li Heng had a plan in mind.
——
the next day;
early morning;
Bai Yuxian got up early, changed into his official uniform, and prepared to go to the morning court.
Bai Yuxian had not gone to court for more than three years and suddenly had to go to court today. Bai Yuxian still felt a little uncomfortable.
Han Shiyin, Xiangling and the other girls who were dressing Bai Yuxian looked slightly worried, knowing that today's morning meeting would definitely not be peaceful.
"Don't worry, I'll be with you and everything will be fine."
"But there should indeed be some turmoil today. After I go out, everyone in the house will try to stay at home and not go out to be more careful."
Bai Yuxian said.
"Well, husband, don't worry."
After hearing Bai Yuxian's words, the goddess relaxed slightly and sighed.
Then Bai Yuxian didn't stay any longer. After getting dressed, he went out and got on the carriage and headed towards the imperial city.
Half an hour later we arrived outside the main hall of the palace.
At this time, hundreds of officials were already gathering on the steps outside the main hall.
Bai Yuxian directly found his father-in-law and walked over.
At this time, Han Suzheng and Li Linfu were standing together.
"Father-in-law, Prime Minister Li."
Bai Yuxian walked over and cupped his hands towards the two of them.
"The Jade Immortal is here." Han Su had a smile on his face.
"General Bai, long time no see." Li Linfu immediately smiled when he saw Bai Yuxian.
"General Bai."
"General Bai."
"."
The other civil and military officials around also saluted and shouted to Bai Yuxian.
Bai Yuxian also bowed his hands in response, then looked at Li Linfu and said.
"I haven't seen you for many days, but Prime Minister Li is getting more and more haggard. Yuxian knows that Prime Minister Li is worried about the country and the people, but he still needs to pay more attention to taking care of himself."
Compared with three years ago, the appearance of Li Linfu in front of him has changed drastically. He looks as if he is more than ten years older, giving people a feeling of age, and he has also lost a lot of weight.
Bai Yuxian knew that in the past three years, there had been constant natural and man-made disasters in various parts of the Tang Dynasty, and all political affairs were placed on Li Linfu. Li Linfu had worked hard for this.
Li Linfu may not be a good person, but Bai Yuxian still admires his practical attitude.
Over the past three years, Li Linfu can definitely be said to be conscientious in his work.
To be honest, if it had not been for Li Linfu's hard work in the past three years, and if it had been someone else with slightly less ability, the current situation in Datang would have been even worse.
Li Linfu can be said to be a treacherous minister, but he is definitely a capable minister.
No wonder Li Longji trusts and likes Li Linfu.
Because this is indeed a capable person.
Li Linfu was inexplicably touched when he heard Bai Yuxian's words of concern, because he felt that Bai Yuxian's words were sincere, unlike others who were just superficially concerned.
And he had an intuition that Bai Yuxian understood him, and he also understood Bai Yuxian.
This feeling is very strange. Although he and Bai Yuxian don't meet many times, every time he talks to Bai Yuxian, he feels like a confidant.
Maybe this is the same kind of person.
Like attracts like.
"Thank you, General Bai, for your concern."
Li Linfu also thanked him.
