Chapter 178: The Storm Rises (2) It's still Chang'an City, in a certain secret manor, a group of people are having a secret meeting, if anyone sees it, they will be surprised, because among these people, take out any of them, they are all the top figures of the Tang Dynasty, among which there are representatives of the seven clans and five surnames, and there are also people from other families, such as the Dou family, the Yang family, the Xiao family, the Pei family, etc.
There is even the shadow of the eldest grandson clan in it, and in addition to these families, there are also representatives of various Confucian schools and the power of Buddhism, but the representatives of the royal family did not appear.
It's not that they look down on the Royal Merchant Group, on the contrary, the Royal Merchant Group is strong, and its financial resources are among the top among all forces, if they can join the Royal Merchant Group, then their success rate will be much higher, the problem is that today they are seeking but things are too taboo, and the great rebellion is not enough to describe, it is really not suitable for the royal family to know.
Because what they discussed was actually which prince to choose as emperor.
This is simply bold, you must know that the choice of the emperor has always been assigned by the previous emperor, although there are also ministers who support it, but it is generally because the first emperor died and did not set up a prince, so it was chosen by the courtiers.
And now not only Li Zhen is still alive, but even Li Shimin is alive, but not only did they ignore Li Zhen, but they didn't even inform Li Shimin, so they began to choose the new emperor in a grand manner.
Of course, it is normal to ignore Li Zhen, after all, their hatred for each other has grown, and of course they don't want Li Zhen to succeed to the throne.
However, what is really shocking is that the first topic they discussed was not to choose the crown prince, but to determine the time of Li Shimin's death......
If deciding on the heir to the throne is a great rebellion, then deciding the life and death of an emperor is really a rebellion, but despite this, they have to do it.
Because they want to change the emperor, Li Shimin is the first hurdle in front of them, if Li Zhen comes back, but Li Shimin is not dead, then even if they have a powerful plan, they are destined to be a castle in the air, and Li Zhen's succession will be doomed.
Therefore, Li Shimin must die before Li Zhen returns, only then can they have a chance to play the trick of stealing the sky and changing the day.
This is also the reason why they did not invite the people of the Royal Merchant Group, although the royal family in the Royal Merchant Group had a very bad impression of Li Zhen and wished that he would die immediately, but this does not mean that they also have this attitude towards Li Shimin.
After all, Li Zhen is Li Zhen, and Li Shimin is Li Shimin, the two are different, not to mention that Li Shimin is also quite successful as an emperor, his achievements have surpassed all emperors throughout the ages, and Qin Shi Huang, who swept the six countries, is comparable to it (if you count the conquest of Turkic Nanyang and Tianzhu, this achievement is indeed more powerful than Qin Shi Huang), and such an emperor, even within the imperial family, has a lot of supporters, if they dare to reveal such a plan to him, I'm afraid that if I turn my head, I will be sold to Li Shimin.
"Erysipelas has accumulated in Li Shimin's body, and according to Lu Fangshi, if Li Shimin eats it like this, he will die in two months at most."
The representative of the eldest grandson clan, Changsun Jiaqing, opened his mouth and said, this eldest grandson is naturally the eldest grandson of Changsun Wuji, and the eldest grandson Jiaqing is the son of Sun Shunde, the prince of Piguo, and he is still the elder brother of Changsun Wuji.
It stands to reason that the eldest grandson and the Li family are one, Li Shimin's first queen is from the eldest grandson, and the eldest grandson queen is also a famous virtuous queen in history, it can be said that as long as the Li family is not destroyed, the eldest grandson can sit back and relax, and they have no reason to participate in this matter that is enough to destroy the family.
But they just got involved, the reason why this is the case, to put it bluntly, is caused by lack of greed, although Li Zhen will also call the eldest grandson Wuji his uncle, but the two sides are not uncles and nephews after all, Li Zhen's uncle is Yan Jinghei.
The eldest grandson wanted greater power, and the best emperor was not Li Zhen, but one of the three children of the eldest grandson empress, and only then could their power reach its peak.
Moreover, Li Zhen's personality is too strong, if the eldest grandson Wuji works under him, he may not be able to fight Li Zhen, let alone control the court.
On the contrary, whether it is Li Chengqian, Li Tai, or Li Zhi, the personalities of the three of them are relatively gentle, and they are the nephews of the eldest grandson, so it is naturally easier for the eldest grandson to enter the peak - this matter may not be involved in the eldest grandson Wuji, but he must understand the situation, which means that he acquiesced......
"No, two months is too long, if Li Zhen takes a boat, it won't take a month to return to Chang'an......
We have to get things sorted out within a month.
Hearing the words of the eldest grandson Jiaqing, the representative of the Boling Cui clan said.
"If it's a month, it will depend on Lu Fangshi's methods."
The eldest grandson, Jiaqing, looked at a person who had not spoken since the beginning of the meeting.
This person is dressed in a Taoist robe, and he is the most trusted Fang Shi Lu Ziqing by Li Shimin's side - speaking of which, Li Shimin was indeed wise in his early years, but in his later years, he was also a little confused, and made the mistakes that all Ming monarchs would make, and actually believed in the myth of immortality and began to take the so-called elixir......
If it weren't for his superstitious belief in the elixir, which led to the accumulation of erysipelas, whether it was in history or in this time and space, he would not have been able to govern for 23 years, and the future of Datang might not be even more brilliant.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable."
Lu Sheng saw that everyone's eyes were gathered, and he couldn't help but smile slightly: "Your worries are completely unnecessary, if you want Your Majesty to return to heaven earlier, then you can increase the dose of the main medicine in the medicine to ensure that he will become an immortal within a month......"
"But if you increase the dose, will it raise suspicions?"
Questions were raised.
"There's no need to worry about that."
Lu Ziqing said slowly: "The medicine of the poor road is not a poison, on the contrary, it is a great tonic medicine, but Your Majesty's body is too weak, and the amount of food is too much, and the void is not replenished. ” If Li Shimin knew that the Fang Shi he was a confidant was using the most vicious method to harm himself at this time, I don't know what he would think?
"If that's the case, that's for the best."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the cause of Li Shimin's death could not be found on the surface, they were 100% sure that they would be removed from the surroundings.
