Chapter 640 Guiding Light
Chapter 640 Guiding Light
Since Li Shimin summoned Li Ke to return to the capital, the eyes of all the officials in the capital have been staring at the movements of the princes.
Therefore, everything that happened outside Chen's paper workshop spread throughout the entire Chang'an city in an instant.
And the news that Li Chengqian was plotting Li Ke behind his back also spread to the ears of various forces in an instant along with the mouths of the people.
The only difference is that the common people don't know the twists and turns, but the civil and military officials are aware of the conspiracy overnight.
No need to witness the intrigue outside Zhifang, everyone knows that this is the result of Li Jing's calculations.
After all, with Li Shimin's secret instruction, the relationship between Li Jing and the other princes has long been on fire.
If it weren't for the lessons learned from Xuanwumen and Li Shimin's warning, someone must have taken the risk and used extreme means to attack their opponents at this moment.
But no matter what the truth is, and no matter how perfectly Li Jing hides himself, it seems that this kind of behavior that provokes the two brothers to fight openly and secretly has already fallen into the eyes of countless censors.
Impeaching Li Jing for no reason at this moment may cause hidden worries of standing in line, but borrowing Chen's Zhifang can perfectly avoid this point.
Moreover, Fang Xuanling and the others were willing to bear the punishment of the eldest grandson empress, and they also wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of the hidden worries of the Great Court Meeting at the beginning of the month.
As civil and military officials in the same palace, they naturally understand the risks involved.
People who have already stood in line may not mind, but people like Li Jing who do not want to participate in the struggle for imperial power secretly try their best to do their own thing.
Now the struggle between Li Jing, Li Chengqian and Li Ke, etc., is the only ray of light in the darkness for those who are unwilling to express their position prematurely.
As long as everyone is able to impeach Li Jing during the court meeting, they can successfully avoid Li Shimin's attack, and they can also stay out of the matter and persist for a few days.
As for the future, who knows?
……
Duke of Wei.
study.
Duke of Wei Li Jing paced back and forth, with his hands behind his back, he muttered to himself: "Back then, the Supreme Emperor raised troops and the Sui Dynasty was about to perish, and he rushed back to Chang'an to report the letter for his father's choice to protect the righteousness of the monarch and ministers.
Unexpectedly, due to bad luck, he was caught by the Supreme Emperor on the spot. If His Majesty hadn't interceded for his father, he would have already returned to the underworld.
He was also hesitant when he became a father at Xuanwu Gate, thanking guests behind closed doors and never led troops to help His Majesty.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recognizes his ancestors and returns to his clan, and even as a father, he allowed you to fight against His Highness, which almost caused our Duke of Wei to confiscate his family and exterminate his family.
Now when faced with such a choice again, I really don't know how to choose for my father! "
"Hehe~"
Li Dejian secretly laughed when he heard the words, and was very impressed by Li Jing's ability to avoid evil and avoid evil.
Counting the well-known figures in the Tang Dynasty, perhaps only Li Yuan has such strength.
It's just that now that there are great changes, he can't help secretly laughing alone.
"Father!
Now that the King of Han and the King of Hengshan County are both expected to seize the crown prince, what do you think the two of them have a chance of winning in the hands of His Royal Highness? "
Li Dejian thought for a while, and asked tentatively.
Li Jing stopped silently when he heard the words, and said with a sullen face, thinking carefully: "If you only look at it with the methods of His Royal Highness, the King of Han and the King of Hengshan County have no chance of winning.
In addition to the comparison of the forces behind the three of them, although Su Dingfang is famous, he is not as powerful as Concubine Yang.
And the King of Hengshan County has already secretly colluded with the world's aristocratic families, and the Su family of Jizhou also has many shortcomings.
In this way, my father intuited that the outcome of the three should be between five and five! "
"Five five?!
Don't, Dad!
In a few days it will be the Dachaohui, so why don't you tell me who you think has a better chance of winning! "
Li Dejian was very anxious when he heard that, he hurriedly got up and asked.
Seeing this, Li Jing frowned dissatisfiedly, waved his hands and said: "This political situation is not a battlefield, how can a father know who is better.
Besides, it is inconvenient for me, Mrs. Li, to participate in such important events. You and I, father and son, can stay at home after reporting illness! "
"This……"
Li Dejian opened his mouth when he heard the words, as if he wanted to argue vigorously.
But after a while, he bowed his head helplessly, and timidly handed over his promise.
Li Jing's majesty suppressed the entire Weiguo Palace, he really didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of Li Jing.
Otherwise, he would definitely tell Li Jing that the people in the whole capital who have not stood in line are now waiting for his decision!
After all, his strange ability to avoid bad luck is a perfect guide for others to avoid bad luck.
Now most of the courtiers are waiting for Li Jing to make a choice first, so that they can continue to move forward under the guidance of the guiding light.
If Li Jing chooses to thank the guests behind closed doors again without making a decision, how many people in the outside world will sigh with regret!
"But from my father's point of view, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be better.
Whether it is the Empress or His Majesty the Emperor, they will all be more fond of His Highness the Crown Prince!
In addition, although the King of Hengshan County hated His Majesty, after all, it was the empress who gave birth to a prince, and he was only one point worse than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Only Han Wang Li Ke's foundation is too shallow, and he is restricted by the identity of Concubine Yang.
Even if he was talented and favored by His Majesty in the past, he would definitely not be able to ascend to the position of Prince Chu.
It's just that it's not a good thing to know that it's not a blessing if you lose your horse. Li Ke, the king of Han, has a good reputation. It's not a bad thing to be a virtuous king who assists Mingjun! "
"Han King Li Ke?"
Li Jing looked out of the window with his hands behind his back, frowned and said carefully.
Li Dejian was startled when he heard this, and nodded with joy.
With Li Jing's assertion that he didn't know the truth or falsehood, he was enough to explain to Zhang Sun Chong and others.
……
"father!
father! "
Housing.
Fang Xuanling was rubbing his old waist helplessly, but suddenly saw Fang Yizhi striding forward with a face full of excitement.
Before he got up and reprimanded him, he heard Fang Yizhi showing off happily: "Father!
What you asked your child to inquire about has already come to fruition.
Li Jing, Duke of the State of Wei, concluded that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would surely win, and King Li Ke of Han would surely lose.
As for Li Chengqian, King of Hengshan County, Duke Wei thought that his victory or defeat was only between five and five. "
"Is that true?!"
Fang Xuanling frowned, and asked in doubt.
In his opinion, Li Jing is indeed the biggest winner in this battle for the heir apparent.
But this is the conjecture of Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others, and has nothing to do with Wei Guogong Li Jing.
After all, what the Duke of Wei Li Jing said was the opposite!
If it is extrapolated from this, wouldn't Li Jing's odds of winning be worse than Li Chengqian?
And Li Ke, whom he is least optimistic about, will be the final winner instead? !
But how is this possible?
"Yi Zhi, you go and tell your mother immediately.
Dad was drinking in the study just now, and he has no regrets..."
"what?!
Dad, you didn't drink just now?
What's more, if the child tells mother, don't you want to spend the night in this study again tonight? "
Fang Yizhi was extremely puzzled when he heard the words, and Fang Xuanling was also full of bitterness.
If there is another way, how could he make such a plan that hurts both sides.
It's just that the battle for succession has always been extremely bloody, and there is no guarantee of absolute safety based on what he can do.
If he hadn't already joined the Prince Qin's mansion back then, maybe he wouldn't have participated in the battle of the Xuanwu Sect.
Thinking about it now in the dead of night, he would often break out in a cold sweat.
Now that he is faced with such a choice again, he will never be in it anyway.
……
What Li Jing said was like a whirlwind sweeping through Chang'an City in an instant.
There are not a few people who have the same idea as Fang Xuanling, and all the houses and houses are in a panic.
Everyone thought that Li Jing was not the master of the Ming Dynasty, and Concubine Yang was definitely not as weak as she seemed.
Therefore, before finding out who is behind Concubine Yang, everyone is unwilling to jump to conclusions and make a decision easily.
And the Great Court Meeting a few days later has obviously become the Senluo Hell that everyone fears like a tiger.
Perhaps when it comes to the Great Court Meeting, the scene of the Tai Chi Hall will give Li Shimin a big surprise.
