Chapter 410 Li Yuan in trouble
After Li Yuan and Li Xiuning went in to visit Li Er, Li Yu stayed outside the hall bored and looked at the palace structure of the ancient palace building. It seemed that the entire palace complex was ancient and not applicable at all. He was afraid of fire and insects. Moreover, living here was not a feeling of comfort except for making people feel depressed in his heart.
Palace maids in the distance were watching Li Yu because his decoration was completely different from that of everyone in the Tang Dynasty. They had short black hair and Chinese Tang suits, which made people feel shrewd and capable.
Li Yu looked at the palace maids in the distance, saying that these palace maids were not worth it, and his youth was locked in this deep palace compound. Perhaps among them, they might have died inexplicably in a conspiracy.
He really wanted to sing the song "The People Who Get Up and Don't Be a Slave" to overthrow these feudal dynasties, but Li Yu knew that this was unrealistic, and this was the tragedy of an era.
While thinking, footsteps suddenly came from behind. Li Yu turned his head and saw that the two people who came were Li Jiancheng, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty and Li Yuanji, the King of Qi.
"Li Yu, you and the third sister come to see your second brother together?" Li Jiancheng asked in surprise when he saw Li Yu. He didn't expect to see him in Chengqian Palace.
After seeing Li Yu, Li Yuanji hurriedly hid behind Li Jiancheng, and was already feeling distressed in his heart.
Li Yu said slowly: "Xiu Ning heard that her second brother was poisoned and fell into a coma and asked me to bring her in a car."
"The iron guy outside who is said to run like flying is your iron carriage, right?" Li Jiancheng envied: "It looks so majestic."
"That's the matter. If you go to Yaozhou, drive at full speed, you can easily arrive at half an incense stick." Li Yuyi is brave and speaks without any shocking words.
After hearing Li Yu's words of buying bread with purée, Li Jiancheng's back teeth hurt and hurriedly said, "I'll go see my second brother. Let's talk about it if I have time."
After saying that, he led the timid Li Yuanji away hurriedly.
When Li Yu saw Li Jiancheng leaving, he felt that his acting skills were really good. The murderer behind Li Er was poisoned pointed directly at him. As the current prince of the Tang Dynasty, outsiders saw that the two brothers were still close. He felt that everyone in politics/struggle had excellent acting skills, with a bad heart and a thick skin, calling his brother in front of him, and this group of people behind him were the ones who took the guys behind him.
Li Yu shook his head helplessly. He guessed that among the people visiting Li Er, it was probably Li Xiuning who was sincere. Li Yuan didn't know what his second son was in, was he his father or his father?
After waiting outside Chengqian Palace for a while, Li Xiuning then walked out and whispered: "Master, please go back first, I'll stay in the palace for a few days."
Li Yu sighed, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, such a thing happened, and the lifelessness in this palace was depressing. I think you happened to be a companion with Princess Qin, and I think the children need comfort."
It is reasonable that his younger brother was poisoned and Li Xiuning, as his sister, stayed to help take care of him for a few days.
Li Xiuning didn't say anything else, looked sad, turned around and returned to Chengqian Palace.
Li Yu came outside the palace and opened the car door. He saw that Uncle Fu did not get out of the car, but looked at the strange things in the car. After opening the car door, he sat in the driving position.
Li Yu looked at Uncle Fu in the back row and said, "Uncle Fu, why didn't you follow him into the palace just now?"
Uncle Fu smiled gloomy and said, "I'm too lazy to go. The murderer must be one of the three brothers in the case of the King of Qin being poisoned. However, no matter who takes action, the saddest one must be the lady! What's more, the lifelessness in the palace makes people feel very uncomfortable."
Li Yu looked at the black fog above the palace and said, "Is it particularly depressing! What kind of feeling is when the summer rainstorm is coming?"
Uncle Fu thought for a while and nodded, "It's this feeling, and the breath of ghosts."
"Your feeling is very accurate, there are too many unjust souls who died in the palace..."
"Huh? I didn't expect to meet him today." Before Li Yu finished speaking, he found that a person who surprised him was Chai Shao who hadn't seen him for several years. Moreover, compared to him before, Chai Shao is much more mature now, and he has a beard. It seems that after experiencing those things, Chai Shao has matured.
Li Yu turned off the car, opened the car door, and walked towards Chai Shao.
When Chai Shao saw Li Yu walking over, his face turned pale. He quickly stood behind the guard, revealing half of his face, and said, "Li Yu, this is in the palace, don't do anything stupid."
"Hahaha..." Li Yu saw Chai Shao's appearance and laughed: "Duke Huo, why are you braver? I haven't seen you for several years. I was coming to say hello to you. If you are afraid, I will leave immediately and just pretend that we have never met before?"
Chai Shao thought about Li Yu's methods, and he felt that he was making a fuss today. If he wanted to deal with him and his family, his family would have already perished.
He smiled faintly and continued, "Duke Huo, you don't plan to make enemies with me, are you going to die?!"
After hearing Li Yu's words, Chai Shao was sweating like rain. He waved his hands quickly and said, "Mr. Li, you are too worried. The main reason is that I am afraid of your fists and feet. What if you clean up me again and make the guards in the palace feel that I, a general, don't deserve my name, right?"
Li Yu waved his hand and told him not to take it to heart, then asked, "Are you going to the palace today?"
Chai Shao nodded and said, "I heard that the King of Qin is sick, so I'll come to visit him."
"Duke Huo, please, let's talk again when you have time." Li Yu seemed to smile.
After saying that, Li Yu and Chai Shao greeted each other and drove away.
Chai Shao looked at Li Yu who was driving away. He didn't know if it was hatred or something. As for revenge, he had no idea about it. It was already thankful that guy didn't cause trouble for him. Finally, he sighed and headed towards the palace.
In the car, Li Yu looked at Uncle Fu and said, "Why are Chai Shao entangled with the King of Qin? Is the Chai family now optimistic about the King of Qin planning to support the King of Qin?"
Bo Fu smiled faintly: "The big family generally does not put treasures on one person. It's okay for Chai Shao to surrender to the King of Qin. If the King of Qin turns around in the future and the Chai family supports the King of Qin, they can get a generous reward."
"So that's it? It seems that Chai Shao is planning to go to the end with Li Er?" Li Yu understood, but now Li Er is weak, and these big families dare to use the family branches to bet on the family's branches for the sake of family inheritance.
Since someone from the Chai family came to support Li Er, other families would definitely have such plans. It seems that Li Er is going to cooperate with the big family. It will probably take a long time for his future governance to escape from the influence of the big family.
Thinking of this, Li Yu couldn't help but shake his head. He himself understood that these were useless. The big family was deeply rooted. The officials in the court were basically related to the big family. It was impossible for Li Er to get rid of the influence of the big family for the time being. For the official alone, Li Er could not overcome this hurdle.
Even if the support of a big family becomes a big family, it will also make the big family lose its head. However, Li Er now has to rely on the support of a big family. Otherwise, even if he gets a good thing, the world will be divided, and Li Er will have to drink this glass of bitter wine without drinking it.
...
After Li Yuan finished watching his second son, he returned to Tai Chi Hall in a depressed mood, picked up his wine glass and drank a large glass.
After drinking, Li Yuan started to have a headache again. What should he choose? Or to depose the crown prince or to protect the crown prince? To depose the crown prince, it is necessary to change the crown prince and make the crown prince. It is impossible now! Even his old friend Pei Ji has already stood on the side of the crown prince. The crown prince's strength is too great now. He asked the Qin King to go to Luoyang to let the two of them separate. Finally, the Qin King agreed, but the prince's supporters said that if the Qin King goes to Luoyang, it will be like a dragon like a sea. If it is not done well, the country will be in a state of fragmentation again.
Li Yuan hesitated and didn't know what to do.
However, he himself wanted to protect the prince. Several prime ministers also protected the prince, but the world was not peaceful. At this time, he sent the King of Qin to Luoyang. What if he really rebelled?
The world is not stable yet, and the Turks are about to go south again, and the King of Qin cannot leave the capital for the time being.
With the King of Qin in Beijing, even if he does not give him real power, if something big happens, he can be activated immediately. It is like pacifying Liu Heita, such as Longyou’s defense against Tuyuhun.
Wait a little longer, wait a few years, wait until the court and the Turks fight to the decisive battle, and when the Tang Dynasty is stable, then the second son will be granted to Shu or Lingnan. In this way, he will lose his military power. If the two brothers do not meet, it will be better, and there will be no brothers who will be killed.
Li Yuan came to the study with a contradictory mind. There was a map on the table in the study. This was the map given to him by his precious daughter, which was extremely accurate.
This time the Turkic soldiers occupied Hetao and were eyeing Yanchuan. They had invaded Lingzhou several times before and occupied Xitao. This time they might not do it well and they had to repeat the same trick. Leaving the King of Qin, a handsome man who is good at fighting, he was uneasy to live in Chang'an! Forget it, let the King of Qin stay in Beijing for the time being!
After making a decision, Li Yuan called his entourage to the East Palace.
When Li Jiancheng saw that he was his father and empress, he was uneasy and quickly paid homage to Li Yuan.
Li Yuan abandoned his left and right, and there was only father and son in the room.
"Kneel down!" Li Yuan shouted loudly.
With a "Pu" sound, Li Jiancheng knelt honestly on the ground.
Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng kneeling on the ground and said with regret: "Jiancheng, you disappointed me so much."
Li Jiancheng swung his hands quickly and said, "Father, I didn't poison my second brother, really didn't!"
Li Yuan just shook his head, he didn't believe his explanation at all.
"Father, if my son really wants to harm my second brother, how could he escape? This is simply because my second brother deliberately framed me." Of course, Li Jiancheng is not stupid. Regardless of whether he did it himself or not, he would never admit it. What would his father do?
After hearing this, Li Yuan narrowed his eyes and didn't know what to do.
Seeing that his father was already hesitant, Li Jiancheng hurriedly said, "Father, my son-in-law once heard that his second brother was at a banquet a few days ago and said that he had a destiny."
"Destiny" is something that not everyone can have. It is like claiming to have a destiny, just like claiming to be an emperor. It is a rebellious remark, which is the biggest taboo for an emperor.
Li Yuan was even hesitant.
He felt that Li Jiancheng should not be so stupid. How would it be beneficial to him to poison the King of Qin at the East Palace banquet? Now the prince said that this was simply the poison that the King of Qin himself used and the bitter meat trick. Calm down and think about it, it was completely possible.
He remembered what Yang Wen did before. He knew very well, and he also understood that the King of Qin deliberately framed the prince to rebel.
