After Yang Fan's persuasion, the depression in Taiping's heart was slightly soothed, but she didn't expect that the emperor would take measures so quickly because of suspicion.
The means taken by Li Xian were to ask Wu Sansi in advance, and Wu Sansi asked Cui Xiang and Zheng Su, since he got these two big think tanks, Wu Sansi's level of strategy has improved by leaps and bounds, and it is no longer Wu Xia Ameng.
This plan for the Prime Minister can be described as a stroke of genius, and it did not arouse the vigilance of the Taiping Duke and the Prime Minister at the beginning.
The whole incident began with the establishment of the state and the dynasty.
The emperor has ascended the throne and the queen has been canonized, but one of the three sets of carriages of the royal family has not yet been established, that is, the position of the crown prince.
So, Wu Sansi instructed a royal history book who was about to enter the Wu family's court through Cui Xiang, and asked the Son of Heaven to establish a prince as soon as possible.
Originally, Li Xian had four sons, of which only Li Chongrun was the son-in-law, so he was the natural candidate for the crown prince, but it was a pity that Li Chongrun was ordered to be killed by his grandmother Wu Zetian because of a few words behind his back.
After Li Chongrun's death, Li Xian left three sons, namely Li Chongfu, Li Chongjun and Li Chongmao.
His three sons were all born to concubines, not the blood of Queen Wei, and the future prince of the country will be born from these three princes.
These three princes are not Empress Wei's biological sons, and Empress Wei actually doesn't care who she elects.
However, among the three princes, she dislikes Li Chongfu the most.
Li Chongfu is one year older than Li Chongrun, is the eldest son, when Li Xian was knocked off the throne and placed under house arrest in Fangzhou, Li Chongfu was already a naughty boy of several years old, and he had memories of his biological mother.
Therefore, he has not been very close to Empress Wei.
Now that the prince is about to be established, Empress Wei is naturally reluctant to let Li Chongfu be the crown prince.
However, the three princes are all concubines, and there is no distinction between concubines, so it stands to reason that the crown prince should be established in the order of the eldest and youngest, if this is the case, the crown prince must be Li Chongfu, so Empress Wei intervened.
Empress Wei already had the Hou Party at this time, although because her power had just been formed, it was not as strong as the Liang Wang Party, the Xiangwang Party and the Taiping Party, but she also had a group of people available.
Empress Wei instructed one of them, Li Chongfu, saying that the reason why Li Chongrun, the emperor's grandson, was killed was because Li Chongfu coveted the position of the emperor's grandson and deliberately revealed what Li Chongrun had said to Emperor Zetian, which caused Li Chongrun to be killed with a cane.
The only parties to this matter are Li Chongrun, Li Xianhui, Wu Yanji and Zhang Changzong, these people are all dead, and there is no evidence at all.
At this time, another minister played, thinking that if Li Chongfu is the crown prince, once Yuji ascends the throne in the future, it is likely to overturn the case for Erzhang, which will cause trouble to the society, because Li Chongfu's princess is Zhang Yizhi's niece.
Li Chongfu's lungs were about to explode when he heard this, how could he be qualified to choose his own concubine, it was Empress Wei's intention to let him take Zhang Yizhi's niece as his wife, Empress Wei wanted to use this to close the relationship with Er Zhang, in order to consolidate her husband's power, but now it is good, this has also become a crime that Li Chongfu cannot be the prince.
Li Chongfu knew that all this was done by Empress Wei, but he didn't dare to say anything.
In the court, hundreds of officials had several disputes over this, and finally Li Xianqiangang made an arbitrary judgment that Li Chongfu was indeed responsible for Li Chongrun's death, so he was demoted to Junzhou in present-day Hubei, near Fangzhou, and served as the assassin, so that he completely lost the right to inherit the throne.
Li Chongfu resigned from the palace with hatred and went to Junzhou to take office.
His inheritance was deprived, and only the two princes Li Chongjun and Li Chongmao remained.
According to the order of the eldest and youngest, Li Chongjun should be canonized as the crown prince, Li Chongjun is still martial and brave, the surname is rough, and he is a man with little scheming and short-term strategy, Empress Wei thinks that he is very easy to control, so he did not make a hindrance.
However, the courtiers who have been stirred up have different opinions, some people think that Li Chongjun is brave and resourceful, and will not become a competent emperor, and it is recommended that the fourth son of the emperor, Chongmao, be the prince, Li Chongmao is young and intelligent, the surname is gentle, and he treats the teacher with humility and courtesy, and is a qualified monarch candidate in the eyes of the minister.
As a result, one faction insisted on establishing a long group, and the other insisted on establishing a virtuous person, and they quarreled in the court.
They didn't know that the development of the situation to this point was fundamentally due to Emperor Li Xian's intentional guidance, and the emperor's purpose was not to establish a prince at all, but to deal with King Xiang, and now it was time for the emperor to show up.
Just when the ministers of both sides argued with reason, and the attention of the dynasty was all focused on the matter of the prince, Li Xian suddenly made a strange conclusion: he thought that neither of his two sons could match the talents of the king of a country, so he wanted to make the king the emperor the emperor's younger brother Li Dan has been the crown prince, but also the emperor, since the Shenlong coup, he has controlled the Nanya Sixteen Guards Forbidden Army, in the army and the court have great power and prestige, Li Xian suddenly claimed to establish the prime minister as the emperor's younger brother, for a time won the support of many ministers.
Li Dan is "sitting at home behind closed doors, and disaster comes from heaven".
Some ministers suggested that the prince should be established, but the queen opposed the establishment of Chongfu as the prince, and when the hundred officials contended to establish Chongjun and Chongmao as the crown prince, he had not yet discovered the emperor's true intentions, but at this time, how could he not understand the emperor's assassination and murder.
He said today that if he dares to agree to become the emperor's younger brother, hand over the military power, and move to the East Palace to become the crown prince in accordance with the rule of "the prince does not interfere in politics", he may die violently one day.
So, Li Dan didn't even bother to change into court clothes, so he ran to the Jinluan Palace, refusing to be the emperor's brother no matter what.
The two brothers, you push me to let me, and some ministers who haven't seen through the details until now are not moved.
In the end, King Xiang was forced by the emperor's brother to be anxious, and simply handed over the handsome seals that controlled the soldiers and horses of the sixteen guards of the Southern Ya: "Don't you want to force me to be the emperor's brother, I don't even want the current messenger, I'll go back and be a free king, it's all done."
Li Dan handed over the seal of the military power and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion to show his determination.
Li Xian also did a full set of dramas, and issued a decree three times in a row to announce that the prime minister was in the court to discuss the establishment of the prince, but the prime minister insisted on resigning, so Li Xian got off the donkey and made Li Chongjun the crown prince.
Until this time, many ministers who had previously sprayed a lot of saliva on the Golden Palace for the ownership of the crown prince, and the ministers who were red-faced and red-faced discovered the truth, and dared to love that they were all "shabu" by the emperor, and the emperor was advancing and retreating.
Li Xian probably also saw that the eyes of the hundred officials were not quite right, and he couldn't hold his face a little bit.
In order to cover up his shame, he had a secret discussion with Wu Sansi, and after obtaining Wu Sansi's consent, he began to issue an edict to degrade the titles of Zhuwu: King Wu Sansi of Liang was demoted to the king of Dejing County, and King Wu Youji was demoted to the king of Leshou County.
Twelve kings with martial surnames, including King Wu Yizong of Hanoi, were all demoted to the rank of princes.
In order to cover up his deliberate intentions against King Xiang.
Princess Taiping watched coldly, taking everything that happened in the court in her eyes.
Seeing that the emperor was so deliberate to deal with his fellow brothers, Taiping's heart was like an ice cellar, and it was already cold.
Mr.

Mo Da lost no time in speaking again: "Princess, when the Shenlong coup d'état, if it weren't for His Royal Highness the Prime Minister's control of the Southern Ya Forbidden Army, so as to strengthen the army to suppress the Northern Ya, the emperor's restoration of An Neng was so calm, His Royal Highness the Prime Minister had made a great contribution."
King Xiang did this, what a risk he took Once the matter fails, it will destroy the family and destroy the door, but King Xiang led his five sons to break into the Suzaku Gate without hesitation and asked, if King Xiang does not participate, then what The coup d'état was successful, he was the king of the prime minister, and he was still the king of the prime minister.
Immortal is wrong, if the current emperor says that the coup fails, then the crown prince will be replaced by the prime minister, why does His Royal Highness take such a risk, and who is he doing this for?"
"Enough is enough, don't say it again" Princess Taiping was furious and slapped her palm on the case.
Mr.
Mo Da looked unwavering, and continued: "But that's it, the emperor is actually suspicious of King Xiang.
Your Royal Highness the Princess, the emperor has already attacked King Xiang, who do you say he will deal with next?
Who risked ruining his family and destroying his family to put him on the throne of the emperor Why is the emperor so wary of his relatives who support him regardless of life and death, but he trusts the princess so much to the Wei family who has no merits and the martial family who was once the enemy of life and death, do you think everything you have done is worth it?"
"Get Out" Princess Taiping's eyes erupted with angry flames and she yelled at Mr.
Mo.
Mr.
Mo Da stood up unhurriedly, gave a long bow to Princess Taiping, took three steps back, divided his big sleeves left and right, and walked away.
Princess Taiping retreated to the case, and after a while, she asked herself: "Is it worth it?"
without saying a word, and burst into tears.
"Hahaha, come on, come on, Zhongqing's family, please drink this cup."
Li Chongjun held a large bronze lord with a simple shape, and persuaded the East Palace officials such as the left concubine, the right concubine, and the prince's guests to drink.
This Li Chongjun has wide shoulders and a wide body, ape arms and a bee waist, very heroic, and a national character face is looking forward to being self-heroic, but he was born with a good skin.
There is an eldest son above him, and there is an eldest son, he never thought that one day the throne of the crown prince would be sent to him, but this accident, he became the crown prince above ten thousand people under one person, and until now he still has a feeling of dreaming.
"Prince Please" All the subordinates raised their glasses in response, and Li Chongjun craned his neck and drank the wine.
Li Chongjun is a good wine, and he thinks that the wine glass is too gentle, so he deliberately changed it to a large bronze jue, so that he drank it happily.
A young man in military uniform stepped forward and said to Li Chongjun with a smile: "Accept the situation and give another drink, congratulations to the prince."
As soon as Li Chongjun saw him coming, he immediately moved his position to the side, patted the mat and said to the man: "Come on, come on, bear the situation, you and Gu are at the same table, and our brothers will drink two more cups." ” The man smiled slightly, did not refuse, and said: "Prince Xie" bypassed the wine case and sat down with Li Chongjun at the same table.
This person's name is Li Chengquan, and he is also a descendant of Li Tang.
His great-grandfather was Li Zhiyun, the fifth son of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan.
When Wu Zetian was in power, his branch was already a distant branch, so he didn't receive it, but he was demoted from a prince to a duke, and now Li Chengquan is the general of Youyulin.
Don't look at Li Chongjun and Li Chengquan so close, as if they have been friends for many years, in fact, the two have only known each other for more than a month now.
Li Chongjun is still martial arts, good hunting, in the early spring he went to the suburbs to hunt, happened to meet Li Chengquan who was hunting there, both of them appreciated each other's riding and archery, after the common name was reported, it turned out to be a family, and this time they formed a friendship.
Li Chengquan sat down next to Li Chongjun, Li Chongjun affectionately climbed on Li Chengjun's shoulder, and smiled at his subordinates: "Chengguo is a lonely lucky general, since I met Chengqing, Lone's luck is surprisingly good, I just became the king not long ago, and I became the prince in the blink of an eye, haha, come on, Chengqing, let's drink this cup." ” Li Chengquan picked up the cup with a smile and whispered in Li Chongjun's ear: "Prince, you drink less." ” "Whoa" Li Chongjun glared at him with disgust and said, "A man's husband, how can he learn from a woman's mother-in-law and mother-in-law, today we are not drunk and have no home." ” Li Chengquan helplessly turned to the side of him, and whispered: "The prince must not get drunk, you forgot, Chengguan invited a few generals in the army to meet you today, there are many of them, it is inconvenient to come to the East Palace, and the prince is invited out of the palace to attend the banquet, the prince wants to consolidate the position of the prince, these heroes should make more friends" Li Chongjun suddenly realized and nodded seriously. : Sincerely ask for monthly passes and recommended tickets 。
