Chapter 378: Who's the Final Winner (7)


Chapter 377: Who is the final winner 7 However, in the early morning of the next day, Li Jiao and others did not have time to jointly sign the table again, proposing that the king of Chu should go out on an expedition in armor, forcing the emperor to submit.

As soon as the words came out, the Manchu Dynasty was shocked and almost exploded.

The Li family, the king of Zhao, who has never attracted attention, dared to provoke the power of the king of Chu in public, and took the initiative to ask Ying to hang up his armor to go on the expedition, which means that the Li family has already sung the opposite tune with Li Jiao, how can he have the guts, what is he going to do, when is it the turn of King Zhao to come out Many courtiers were instantly surging with such strong questions.

Li Heng's expression was calm.

He sat upright on the dragon chair, his eyes deep, and swept over Li's body.

Li Heng was holding a sheet that Kong Sheng had delivered to the emperor through the "ninth".

Kong Sheng's recommendation of Li as a general to lead the army on the recital table made Li Heng once again confirm a basic fact, that is, he ignored the existence of his second son Li from beginning to end.

As Kong Sheng judged, the emperor may have been a little hesitant about leading the army, but he definitely did not consider Kong Sheng.

For Kong Sheng, he has already made arrangements, and he has already reached some tacit understanding and consensus with Kong Sheng, so Kong Sheng will not move.

In the past few days, Li Jiao is exerting pressure on the palace through all kinds of resources he can mobilize, no matter what, the military power in the world must be firmly in the hands of him, the eldest son of the emperor, this is the biggest reliance he relies on to win the position of the prince of the East Palace, Li Li will not hand it over easily.

This point, don't say that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military knew it, and Emperor Li Heng also saw the fire.

But this is where he is most angry and jealous.

His own son has grown up to the point where he threatens his throne, which makes Li Heng regret it.

According to Li Heng's original intention, he will calmly establish the prince in a few years, and as long as Li Jiao'an keeps to himself, the prince must be him.

But Li Li doesn't seem to be able to wait that long, and since he returned to Chang'an, he has been testing the emperor's bottom line intentionally or unintentionally.

Li Jiao intends to take command again.

He is the nominal generalissimo of the Tang Dynasty, but he wants to sit in this position, he wants to personally lead the army to the battle, in fact, he doesn't need to be in the battle formation at all, just sit in the eastern capital Luoyang and command it by remote control, and it is Guo Ziyi and these generals who really go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

Li took the initiative to ask for help, and Li Jiao's eyes erupted with fire.

But Li Li did not speak out to oppose it in person, and his group of die-hard supporters jumped out to oppose it.

Above the main hall, the crowd was suddenly full of emotion.

Li Heng's face did not change and his heart did not beat, he sat on the high imperial platform, looked around the ministers condescendingly, and let these ministers attack each other and shout endlessly.

Li Heng's heart was actually as turbulent as a stormy wave.

The situation in front of him is not that he is indecisive, it is really dangerous.

If he continues to let Li Jiao take charge of the military power, the Tang Dynasty will completely become the bag of his eldest son, and he, the emperor, has actually become an ornament now.

Li Heng recognized the talent and character of Li Jiao's son, and handed over the ancestor's social affairs to Li Jiao, which was the best choice for the Li Tang royal family.

But no one was willing to give up the supreme power in his hands, and when Li Jiao became the biggest obstacle to Li Heng's consolidation of imperial power, the so-called family affection and the so-called ancestral family inheritance became a joke.

However, if Li Jiao's request is not satisfied, and the military power is handed over to the second son Li or others, then it will inevitably cause a strong backlash from Li Jiao.

Li Jiao held the power of the forbidden army in the capital, and tens of thousands of people in the sixteen guards of the South Ya and the four armies of the North Gate were under his direct control, and the generals of the left and right Yulin Guards and the left and right Long Wuwei were all Li Li's henchmen.

It can be said that the entire Chang'an City is in the hands of Li Jiao.

If Li Jiao had a different heart, Li Heng, the emperor, would lose his future at all, and he would not even be able to save his old life.

This has long made Li Hengru uneasy to sleep and eat.

Thinking of this, Li Heng couldn't help but look at Li Jiao again.

He issued an edict ordering Li Jiao to leave Beijing to welcome the emperor back to the court, but although Li Jiao obeyed orders on the surface, in fact, he did not leave Beijing for a long time on the grounds of the whole army, and at this juncture, it was even more impossible for him to leave Beijing.

A hint of anger appeared in Li Heng's eyes.

When a son and a courtier should be Li Jiao, and when he became an emperor and a father should be Li Heng, the contradiction would have been on the verge of breaking out a long time ago.

In his ears, there were all kinds of criticisms from many courtiers about the lack of talent and virtue of King Zhao and Li to serve as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses.

Li Heng's failure is not important in Li Heng's opinion.

The important thing is that Li Jiao's power is already too big to fall, and any further step will be a dangerous abyss for him, the emperor.

Li Jiao sneered and stood proudly in the hall without saying a word.

He didn't think that the emperor would really tear his face, and if he wanted to tear his face, then fight to the death.

He may not be able to kill his father and usurp the throne, but he still has the courage and means to completely elevate the emperor, enter the East Palace by himself, and kill all the opposites.

All the generals of the forbidden army in the hall, including the generals of the Southern Ya and the chief generals of the four armies of the North Gate, all maintained a strange silence.

This is the biggest capital that Li Li relies on to succeed, and it is also the biggest key to having no fear.

Li Heng weighed the pros and cons, and after careful consideration, he still did not make a decision.

He got up helplessly and waved his hand: "Don't fight for the retreat, this matter will be discussed later."

The emperor walked away, which in the eyes of many courtiers was actually a sign of helplessness and incompetence.

Li Jiao sneered and cast an indifferent glance at the Li department, and also took the lead in withdrawing from the main hall proudly.

Behind him, Li Kui, these civil ministers, and the generals of the forbidden army, came out in order.

Li Mi cast a helpless glance at Li Department, shook his head, and also lowered his head.

Among the courtiers, Li Mi is a rare person who supports the Li family behind him, but the Li family's wings are too thin to compete with Li Jiao.

A strong complication floated on Li Tie's face.

In many cases, he actually does not lack the courage and means to compete with Li Jiao, but when Nai creates people, Li Jiao has firmly controlled the political and military power, and installed all his henchmen in the forbidden army, he stomped his feet Chang'an City will be shaken, and Li Xiankong has a false name of the second son of the emperor, what can he do to compete with Li Jiao If it weren't for Kong Sheng's stimulation and hints, Li would definitely not have mustered up the courage to pierce this layer of window paper this time, and walked at the forefront of the battle with Li Li.

Instead, they continue to hide behind the scenes, continue to wait for their moment.

Li was depressed and left the hall.

Although Kong Sheng did not participate in the court meeting, the situation at the court meeting was transmitted to the Chang'an Marquis Mansion without exception.

The emperor still hadn't made a decision, which made Kong Sheng slightly disappointed.

However, he also understood the emperor's various worries, Li Jiao was too powerful and controlled the forbidden army, which almost stuck the emperor's throat, unless the emperor was crazy, how could he easily anger Li Jiao Cannibalism and usurpation of the throne are not uncommon in the Li Tang royal family.

The original Tang Taizong Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion, and the later Tang Xuanzong Li Longji used power and bloody means to sit on the throne, including the current emperor Li Heng's forced palace in Ma Weipo, in fact, they are all examples in front of the people of Chang'an.

The current king of Chu, Li Jiao, already has the capital to compete for the throne.

If you push him to the point of taking risks, there is no guarantee that he will do even more rebellious things.

Therefore, the atmosphere in Chang'an City has become a little tense and solemn in the past few days.

Although the battle above the court has nothing to do with the common people, as the people at the foot of the imperial capital, they actually have some basic political sensitivities.

The common people are like this, let alone the Manchu magnates.

Many people are secretly watching, waiting for the change of opportunity, and more people are hoping that Li Jiao can make a decision as soon as possible, to say a big rebellion, the emperor who is weak in character sitting on the throne today is actually far inferior to the young and heroic and eloquent King Li Jiao of Chu.

Anyway, it's all the Li family's country, anyway, Li Longji Chan gave up to Li Heng, and Li Heng gave up the throne to his son again, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Of course, there are also a few people who are secretly waiting for the return of Emperor Li Longji.

Li Longji has been the emperor for decades, and he has personally created the glorious and prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, and all countries will come to the dynasty, if the emperor is restored and called the emperor, it seems that it is not a bad thing.

The arrow is on the string and has to be sent Danger lurks, and killing opportunities lurk The undercurrent is surging, and everyone has a ghost in their hearts.

This was the situation faced by Emperor Li Heng.

He had been pushed to the edge of a cliff from which there was no retreat.

And even in the emperor's palace, it is also unstable.

Yu Chaoen entered the Inner Servant Province, eating away at Li Fuguo's power little by little, Li Fuguo naturally did not sit idly by, and the life-and-death duel between the two great eunuchs in the palace was also on the verge of breaking out.

Sunset.

The cold northwest wind swept across Chang'an City, and the temperature in Chang'an in winter became lower and lower.

At this time, there are few pedestrians on the streets, merchants are closed, and people return home to protect themselves from the cold.

More than ten riders quietly walked out of the Suzaku Gate and galloped along Suzaku Street.

The first is a purple-shirted scholar, about fifty years old.

He rode on a majestic, high-pitched horse with a crimson body, a good horse from Dawan, named the Sweat and Blood Horse, and behind him, ten black-clad warriors looked solemn and stiff, and if you looked closely, these warriors were obviously wearing mock masks that concealed their true faces.

More than ten riders have been relaxing into Lanling Fang.

The purple-shirted scholar turned over and dismounted, handed the reins to the respectful black-clothed warrior behind him, and said softly: "Ninth, fifth, a few of you are waiting outside, seventh, you go in with me." ” Seeing that there was no one left and right, the purple-shirted scholar flashed into a teahouse in front of the street.

The teahouse has actually been closed for a long time, but there is only a crack for the purple-shirted scholars.

When the purple-shirted scholar and the black-clothed warrior "Seventh" entered, the door was closed again.

And on the streets, all the black-clothed warriors disappeared as if they had disappeared from the world.

The northwest wind swept through the streets with fallen leaves, and everything was silent. oshow7 t1706231537:
