Li Ji is undoubtedly a smart person, after he received Li Er's will, he didn't even go back to his home, so he went to Diezhou to do the history of assassination, what kind of person is Li Er, Li Ji knows too well, this is testing him, for such a sudden derogation, his subordinates are very puzzled, Li Ji smiled and shook his head, and said that he couldn't say it or not, looking extremely mysterious, but he kept complaining in his heart, I was afraid that if he hesitated for a while, the head would fall to the ground.Li Ji's worries are not unreasonable, as the most famous old loach in the early Tang Dynasty, the tumbler of officialdom, he knows Li Er's personality too well, don't look at Li Er's pretense of first suppressing and then promoting, but this dying emperor is really murderous to himself, for himself and the lives of his family, Li Ji decided to admit no matter how big the grievance is.So why did Li Er kill a general like Li Ji who can be compared to Li Jing, the reason is very simple, Li Ji is an old courtier, a founding minister, Li Er is afraid that his son will not be able to suppress him, but the problem is, the eldest grandson Wuji is also a founding minister, how can Li Er rest assured of the old fox?
In fact, the reason is very simple, Li Ji and the old fox have different backgrounds, the old fox is the spokesperson of the Guanlong aristocracy, although the eldest grandson family from which he was born is declining, but he is still in the ranks of the family, and Li Ji is different, he is a standard Shu family background, in the Tang Dynasty, which attaches great importance to the family, Li Er dares to move Li Ji but may not dare to touch his brother-in-law.After learning that Li Ji went to Diezhou overnight to take office, Li Er breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Li Ji still knows how to do it, "Childish slave, you remember, those founding heroes, as long as they don't obey, they will kill him; As long as you feel that he is not convinced, kill him!
All in all, Datang belongs to our Li family; No one can share it!
”Li Er said to Li Zhi earnestly.Li Er is a hero who came out of the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he understands people's instincts too well, as long as people are normal, they must always want to be above others; To retreat to the next best thing, we also want to pursue equality.If there is not enough stakeholder constraints, you expect many heroes and wise people in troubled times to willingly stay below you forever, this is really difficult for some strong people, and Li Er is most afraid of this, he is afraid that his son will not be able to control the field."
Aye, I remember......," Li Zhi nodded, "But Aye, if he doesn't listen to my command, should I also get rid of him?"
”Li Zhi pointed to the west with his hand, the meaning was obvious, he was talking about Li Lu."
Childish slave, you must first understand one thing, do you have the strength to solve him, even if you have, you have to plan and .......then move" Li Er looked at Li Zhi, hey, it's too bad, he is obviously not an opponent of others, "If you don't handle it well and become a mortal enemy, what should you do?"
And have you considered your sister?
”Li Zhi listened to Li Er's words, he was speechless for a long time, and after a long time, Li Zhi raised his head and asked Li Er, "Aya, as the king of a country and the supreme of the world, you should not allow any existence that threatens the imperial power, is this right?"
”"Uh, childish slave, you have grown up......"
Li Er glanced at his son with relief, indeed, any emperor will never allow anyone to dare to covet his imperial power, and the emperor has only one choice for this kind of person, that is, to kill without mercy.Among the emperor's killing targets, the Hero Group usually bears the brunt because of their great strength; If their strength is limited, they usually have a better chance of escaping this fate.The pinnacle of power is a big whirlpool, whoever the emperor lets in here, who will want to enter, but the result of entering is usually nine deaths and one life.Therefore, when the emperor reuses his relatives, the far-sighted relatives usually feel very frightened, because there is no accident, which seems to be the rhythm of the whole family; When the emperor reuses the kings, the far-sighted kings will also feel very frightened, because there is no accident, as if this is the rhythm of cannibalism, father and son and brother enmity; When the emperor wants to reuse the heroes after all his efforts, the far-sighted heroes will think of escaping, because there is no accident, and this seems to be the rhythm of the whole family."
But childish slave, you must first understand that your biggest enemy is not your brother-in-law......"
Li Er looked at Li Zhi and motioned for him to sit down and listen to himself, "Your biggest enemy is those big families......
Don't look at our Li family, we are also from the big family, but we are now a royal family..... they are like moths lying on us to suck blood..... and your brother-in-law, his bloodline, his basic plate, and his governance philosophy all determine that it is impossible for him to enter the Central Plains, which is one of the reasons why Aya can tolerate him....""
But ....."
Li Zhi listened to Li Er's words and nodded repeatedly, but when he heard Li Er talk about Li Lu, he couldn't help but want to refute two sentences."
But what?
Child, Aya told you, Aya wishes that your brother-in-law will go as far west as possible, and the farther away he is from Chang'an, the safer you and your descendants will be......"
Li Er touched Li Zhi's head and said, "And you don't have to worry about what is the supreme of the world....You see, this is the Eastern Roman Empire, and the title of their king is the emperor, are you Aya and I angry?"
So Aya told you that the Confucian people can listen to half of what they say......"
Li Er pointed to Constantinople on the map and said to Li Zhi.What Li Er didn't know was that the words he said to Li Zhi had the opposite effect, and Li Zhi was even more determined in his heart to think that the emperor of the world could only be done by their old Li family, and he was determined to spread his influence to Broken Leaves, to Tianzhu, and even to Constantinople and Rome, there can only be one supreme in the world, and this supreme must and should be in Chang'an, and he Li Zhi, as the next "Heavenly Khan", should shoulder this responsibility."
Childish ....."
Li Er just wanted to continue, but suddenly he felt that his stomach hurt unbearably, so he said to Li Zhi, "Childish slave, you go and call your uncle and Chu Suiliang and a few of them to Aya, Aya's have something to explain to them......"
Li Zhi saw that Li Er's face became sallow, and his heart trembled suddenly, he knew that his father's time had come, and he was about to make a big move, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad in his heart, mixed tastes, very complicated.Li Zhi called over the imperial doctor, went to diagnose Li Er, and he went out of Cuiwei Palace to find the eldest grandson, the old fox and Chu Suiliang, when he left Cuiwei Palace, he also saw the woman he was thinking about every day, the one named Wu Xu, of course, this time Li Xiaojiu did not stay here in Wu Xu for long, after all, his father is dying, and it is the right thing to sit on the throne safely, but Li Xiaojiu also assured his lover that although a concubine like Wu Xu would be sent to Ganye Temple to cut her hair and become a nun after Li Er's death, Li Xiaojiu assured her, will definitely let her see the light of day again.After learning that Li Er was about to die, the eldest grandson Wuji and several of their court officials immediately came to Cuiwei Palace to meet Li Er, at this time Li Er suddenly became very good spirits, and the whole person became radiant, the eldest grandson Wuji looked at them, the big thing is not good, this is a return to the light, Li Er saw that the eldest grandson old fox and Chu Suiliang and a few of them came, so he explained to them the aftermath, and asked them to assist their son, Li Er also mentioned Li Lu, He asked the eldest grandson, the old fox, and Chu Suiliang to stop his son from being stupid, and he didn't have much to do about that demonic son-in-law, let alone Li Zhi.After Li Er explained the aftermath, his face quickly changed like gold paper, and he was even more phlegm-wheezing, and his breathing was not smooth, and he died of illness in Cuiwei Palace not long after.Li Zhi ascended to the throne under the support of his eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Zhang Xingcheng, Gao Kiev and others.As soon as he came to power, Li Zhi summoned his absolute confidant, Zhang Xingcheng, who was also the secretary of the Criminal Department, "Zhang Aiqing, you can quickly help me come up with an idea, how can I not let my brother-in-law become a big trouble for me?"
”Zhang Xingcheng is a diehard Confucianism, he has long seen that Li Lu and Li Lu's Britain is not pleasing to the eye, and now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, it is the time to take eye drops, "Your Majesty, this matter is not difficult, as long as the British king comes to Chang'an to mourn the emperor, he ......can be detained" "If it is detained, what if his generals and cavalry rebel?"
”After all, Li Zhi was born in the royal family, and he is quite politically minded."
Your Majesty, the core figure of the British King Group is the King of England, once he is trapped in Chang'an, even if Lu Dongzan assists your nephew on the throne, it will be far from your brother-in-law, and when the time comes, we have hostages in hand, and they will not dare to disobey the ....."
Zhang Xingcheng looked like he was holding a pearl of wisdom."
He is a disciple of a master of the Daomen, what if he runs away from Chang'an?"
Li Zhi asked again."
He won't run, because His Highness Changle is here, you just need to control His Highness Changle....."
Zhang Xingcheng said with a smile.There is no impermeable wall in the world, and as soon as Li Zhi came to power, the matter of wanting to do something to his brother-in-law reached the ears of the eldest grandson Wuji, and the old fox couldn't help but sigh, "It is said that the tiger father has no dog, but Your Majesty, this son of yours, hey......"
The old fox said that His Majesty obviously refers to Li Er, in addition, he is also Li Lu's political ally in Chang'an, so naturally he can't sit idly by.The eldest grandson, the old fox, immediately found Li Zhi, "Your Majesty, the old minister heard that you are going to detain His Royal Highness the King of England, is this matter true or false?"
”"Uncle, I can listen to you for everything, but I can't listen to you for this matter.....
How do you know that Li Zhi said categorically, "I can't accept a vassal king who has ambitions to be emperors, even if he is my brother-in-law..... this matter is settled.....""
Your Majesty, the old minister wants to remind you that the first emperor once asked the old minister to stop you from making stupid ...... on the issue of the British domain" The eldest grandson, the old fox, naturally can't let Li Zhi succeed, because some of the big families led by him and Li Lu are political allies, and you Li Zhi took Li Lu to fight, are you demonstrating to them?
The role of the old fox has not changed from the identity of the uncle, although he stopped Li Zhi from being stupid in the name of the auxiliary minister, but it made Li Zhi hate him and Li Lu even more, "Old fox, don't think that I don't know, you and Li Lu are in cahoots for a treacherous affair, one day, I will send you all to see my Aya ..... one by one"
