Chapter 598 Young Liver and Gall Male 10 The emperor's murderous eyes fell on Li Yu's side, and everyone was secretly shocked, sure enough, he came to the East Palace, and the emperor really couldn't hold it back, and he wanted to depose the prince The contradiction between the emperor and the crown prince has actually become semi-public.
Almost everyone in the government and the opposition can see that the crown prince can't wait to go to the highest point of power in the Tang Dynasty, and the emperor will obviously not sit idly by for this.
However, for many courtiers and even the Li royal family, the current emperor has a weak personality and is riddled with illness, so it is better to let Li Yu, the current hero, take the stage, which is a good thing for the Tang Dynasty.
But is the emperor really as weak and incompetent as the outside world seems?
According to the ancestral family law and the court etiquette law, Li Yuke was the prince of a country who was issued by the emperor to announce the edict to the world, and he could not be easily deposed if there was no clear crime and substantial major fault.
Even if it is an emperor, he cannot depose a prince casually.
This is a rule at the legal level.
Kong Sheng stood aside, his expression calmer.
The corner of his eyes swept to Li Yu's side, seeing that Li Yu had a fearless indifference, he couldn't help but have a sneer in his heart, and said in his heart that all the rules are set by people, this so-called ancestral family law and Tang Dynasty etiquette law is still formulated and issued by the emperor, as the supreme ruler, the emperor's words and deeds are actually etiquette.
If the emperor insists on deposing the crown prince, no one in the court can stop him.
This kind of thing, was there less in the past?
The crux of the problem is probably that in the subconscious of everyone, including the crown prince Li Yu, they all think that the emperor in front of them can't make such a ruthless move, even if the emperor is so shocking today, their impression and judgment of the emperor in the past are still deep-rooted.
Maybe Li Heng was a person who "couldn't be ruthless" in the past, but after becoming the emperor, with the passage of time, he is no longer the Li Heng of the past, but the emperor who regards his imperial power more than anything else.
An emperor is an emperor, and anyone who becomes an emperor will gradually change their mentality.
He would not be merciful to anyone who threatened the foundations of his rule, even his sons and daughters.
In fact, the previous expulsion of Emperor Li Longji has already begun to emerge.
No one knows better than Kong Sheng that the emperor had really killed the old emperor at that time, and he was only afraid of the reputation of the people in the world, so he forced himself to suppress it, but expelling the old emperor and confined him in the Lishan Palace was actually more uncomfortable than killing the old emperor.
Since the meeting in the side hall, Kong Sheng knew in his heart that the emperor had made up his mind and was determined to break his wrist to relieve the pain.
In fact, this can be regarded as a kind of protection for Li Yu.
If this situation continues, either Li Yu usurped the throne and killed his father, or Li Heng retained the throne and punished his son, causing a human tragedy of father and son cannibalism.
Li Heng didn't want to go to that last step, and his current choice was somewhat colored by helplessness and suboptimal choice.
Li Yu looked back at the emperor without fear, he asked himself that he had not left any handle, and he was not afraid of the emperor's trouble.
The emperor ignored Li Yu's look back, and suddenly burst out and said, "Li Yu, you are guilty" Everyone was taken aback, and Li Kuo was also taken aback, how could he be so dignified, the emperor rushed at him Li Kuai bowed down in a panic, "Your Majesty is angry, the minister doesn't know what crime he has committed, please let Your Majesty know."
The corners of Li Yu's mouth twitched, and he didn't expect that the emperor would actually start to attack his East Palace assistant Li Kui.
But for the sake of a mere Li Kuo, from the prince and young master of the second grade, as for making such a big move, is it possible to commit it, and is not afraid of the jokes of the subjects of the world The emperor smiled coldly: "Li Kui, you dare to pretend to be confused in front of me, deny and not admit guilt, you see, what is this?"
The emperor slowly took out a book with a silk satin cover from his arms, threw it with all his might, fell into the group of Li Yu and the others with a snort, and slowly rolled towards Li Yu who was kneeling on the ground.
Everyone stared at the black scroll, and Li Kuo's face changed suddenly, and his shoulders trembled.
Of course he recognized this volume, this is his "notebook" that privately recorded the whereabouts of Li Yu, the crown prince of the East Palace, and other secret things, which has always been treasured in the secret room in the palace, and I don't know why it came into the hands of the emperor It can be seen that the emperor has long arranged eyeliner in Li Kui and even in the East Palace.
Li Kuo's every move is actually the East Palace's every move, and it is difficult to escape the emperor's monitoring.
Li Yu is not like what he appears to be so rammed, he is a scheming person, although he takes refuge in Li Yu, but he is also worried that in the future, Li Yu will turn his face and not recognize people, and he will hide the rabbit and the dead dog to cook or unload the mill and kill the donkey.
In the spirit of self-preservation and some dependence in the future, he secretly recorded some of Li Yu's secret things, as long as he participated in all the things that Li Yu instructed, every once in a while, he would record them in detail in this book, similar to something like an account book.
This is a habit of his, and it is also a political bargaining chip that he relies on to protect himself.
This is Li Kuo's absolute secret, and he doesn't even know about his wife's room, let alone anyone else.
But why did Li Kuo come to the emperor's hands, his face was pale, his face was like earth, and his body was like chaff, he knew that he was going to die.
The emperor obviously came prepared and brewed for a long time before he started, since the emperor made a move, at least someone would be a sacrifice, that sacrifice would obviously not be the crown prince Li Yu, but definitely the people around Li Yu, the emperor relied on killing the prince's party to constitute a deterrent to kill chickens and monkeys.
The emperor must have taken advantage of this to make trouble, and he must have done it to himself.
And once Li Yu knows, he will definitely not be able to bypass him.
Li Kuan was so discouraged that he almost fainted on the spot. is just a book, which makes Li Yu perform so badly, not to mention that everyone is surprised, even Li Yu is a little surprised.
He frowned and looked at Li Kuo, his heart flashed, and he didn't know what was unsightly on this volume.
"Li Kuo, are you guilty" The emperor's angry rebuke came again.
Li Kuan took a deep breath and looked up at the emperor.
The emperor's eyes were cold and calm, and Li Kuo gradually came back to his senses, and they actually underestimated him for today, which was an important factor for him to reach the end of his rope now.
And the emperor put it bluntly, he still came to Li Yu today, but he just took his own knife.
Li Kuo knew that if he cooperated with the emperor to finish this scene, his life would definitely not be saved, but at least he could save the life of the family.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Kuo became calm, and he said softly: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty."

The minister is willing to confess his guilt, and asks His Majesty to give the minister a death."
The cold light in the emperor's eyes gradually dissipated: "Since you confess your sins and surrender to the law, I don't care about myself."
Li Kuo conspired to rebel, I already have a lot of evidence, come and push Li Kuo out and behead him" This is to kill Li Kui on the spot Li Mi and Du Hong gradually looked at each other, some wanted to stop them, but they were a little helpless.
Li Kuo is a minister from the second grade, and he is also a young master of the East Palace, the emperor asserted that Li Kuo committed the crime of rebellion with only a few verbal words, and it was a bit outrageous to be beheaded, at least it had to be judged by the three divisions to be punished.
But the emperor asked Kong Sheng to bring armor into the palace today, making it clear that he wanted to use force and violence to carry out a large-scale purge operation, and how could they dare to anger the emperor at such a time Li Yu knew that he couldn't help but stand up and speak for Li Yu, if he didn't stand up, who would dare to do things for himself in the future Li Yulang said: "May I ask my father, if there is real evidence for Li Kui's crime, it should be handed over to the department to try the canonical punishment, and he will be punished without trial, which violates the Tang Dynasty etiquette law, and please think twice about my father."
Yes, from the second-grade minister, if you say kill, you will kill, how can it be reasonable A group of men and horses immediately bowed to the ground, echoing Li Yu's words, chanting repeatedly, trying to coerce the emperor to withdraw his order.
This was their usual practice, only this time, it seemed that the emperor did not pay attention to it at all.
"Prince, are you accusing me of being punished without trial, violating the law of etiquette, are you asking me to show you the credentials" The emperor smiled faintly, "Kong Sheng, go pick up the book and show it to the prince." ” What is in the book that can make the emperor so angry, and make Li Yu shiver and beg for death directly, in fact, most people have doubts, including Li Yu.
But in front of the emperor, without the emperor's permission, no one dared to pick it up and look at it without authorization.
Kong Sheng didn't know what was written in it, but it was obvious that it must be related to Donggong and Li Yu, otherwise Li Yuyan could be so honest.
When did the emperor take the pigtails of Li Kuo and the East Palace, but it also surprised Kong Sheng, and he was impressed by the emperor.
In the past two years, the emperor has become more and more scheming, never playing cards according to common sense, and not exposing his true hole cards when it is critical.
Kong Sheng stepped forward and bent down to pick up the book on the ground, got up and handed it to the crown prince Li Yu.
He didn't want to watch it, and he didn't bother to watch it.
At this point, you can figure out what is on it with your ass.
Li Yuhu suspiciously took it and opened it, and his face changed suddenly.
The above paragraphs are clearly recorded, when he, the prince of the East Palace, spent money to buy which minister, when he held a meeting to conspire to further seize power from the emperor, when he conspired against the Li family of King Zhao, when he planned to grab wealth from other clans, and even many shady deeds, all of which are clear at a glance above.
Li Kui, this damn thing Li Yu became furious, his murderous eyes were staring at Li Kuo who was kneeling on the ground, and he almost couldn't control himself and stepped forward to cut off Li Kuo's head with a sword.
Li Yu never expected that Li Kui, who was his direct confidant, was equivalent to the head of the East Palace, and would privately record the evidence of his crimes, and let the evidence fall into the hands of the emperor At this time, Li Yu was full of anger, and he didn't care about how the emperor got such a major confidential object.
It's useless to think about it, the evidence has fallen into the hands of the emperor, and it must not be exposed publicly, once exposed, it will be difficult for him, the crown prince, to face the government and the opposition and the people of the world, and it is also a huge trauma for the face and authority of the entire Li royal family.
The emperor said lightly: "Prince, do you understand now, why do I say that Li Kuo committed the unpardonable death crime, do you still have to insist now, do you really want to hand over Li Kuo to the three divisions for trial?"
Li Yu's face was a little pale, he slowly lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "But if the father asks the emperor, the son obeys the order."
Li Yu finally understood that the emperor was really going to attack him.
Since the emperor can get the direct evidence of Li Kuo's crimes, even the matter of Li Kuo's private record of the secret book can't escape his eyes, which shows that the shadow guards around the emperor are simply pervasive.
Then, this also shows that the emperor has been eyeing his East Palace for a long time, and perhaps his every move has not escaped the emperor's monitoring.
And since the emperor chose to turn his face today and pierce the last layer of window paper, then it can only show that the emperor has made up his mind, and everything is ready and does not owe the east wind.
A trace of murder flashed in the emperor's eyes: "Come on, push Li Kuo out, behead Li Kuo's family, exile him to Lingnan, and never return Chang'an" "Your Majesty's life, Your Majesty, although the minister deserves death, but the minister's family is not guilty" Hearing that the emperor was going to exile his family members for three thousand miles to a bitter cold land, Li Kuo was anxious, crying and crying and wailing, but he was still dragged out by the thugs, and in a few minutes, he would die on the guillotine.
The dignified minister from the second grade, one of the top figures in Chang'an, was killed by the emperor when he said he would kill him.
Although there was a reason for the incident, it may involve the privacy of the royal family, and the emperor was reluctant to divulge it, but many people in the palace were a little sad.
Li Mi and Du Hong gradually glanced at each other, knowing that this matter could not be over, the emperor made such a big move, was it just to kill an insignificant Li Kuo No way In the end, I still rushed to the East Palace.
Sure enough, the emperor's indifferent voice echoed in the hall again: "As an auxiliary minister of the East Palace, Li Kui's sins are unforgivable, and the prince is at least jointly and severally responsible for the lack of strictness of the emperor."
Prince, I ordered you to go to the Lishan Palace to think about it behind closed doors for three years, and at the same time, I practiced filial piety, accompanied the Emperor Taishang to set the province in the morning and dusk, and without my edict, you must not return to Chang'an without authorization, you can be convinced" Everyone in the hall was shocked, and the emperor actually wanted to imprison the prince It sounds good, saying that he went to Lishan to think about it behind closed doors, and accompanied the emperor instead of the emperor, but in fact it was a captivity The abolition and replacement of the crown prince has been a common thing in the imperial family since the Sui Dynasty.
Before being abolished, most of them had an almost identical sign, that is, being banned or disguised as being imprisoned.
And after being deposed, it is even more difficult to die well.
This is almost a law of history.
Therefore, the emperor's words suddenly caused the eyes of the noble ministers present to turn on Li Yu to become complicated and shocked, and even had a hint of pity.
Of course, there are still some people who are worried about this, who Li Yu is, everyone in the world knows that Li Yu will never sit still, and the emperor's arrangement is simply to force Li Yu to rebel.
The rebellion of the An clan has not been completely quelled, and Shi Siming has 200,000 troops in Fanyang, Hedong, posing a mortal threat to the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.
If there is another civil strife and dispute at the top of the Tang Dynasty, the consequences will be unimaginable. oshow7 t1706231537:
