Jiangxia King Li Daozong is the cousin of Gaozu Li Yuan, is the royal Li family, the most capable of fighting members, almost every key battle of the Tang Dynasty, he participated in it, is able to be as famous as Li Tao, but unfortunately affected by the rebellion of Fang Yiai, on the way to be demoted, he died of illness.

"It's a possibility."

Zheng Shanxing nodded, frowned, and said: "King Jiangxia is a relative of the emperor, loyal to the royal family, and can fight well, and has made countless contributions, it can be said that he is the first general of the Tang royal family, whether in the army or in the people, he has a very high prestige. What's more critical is that King Suwen Jiangxia has always been at odds with his eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang. ”

Wang Xuandao said: "There is another point, the king of Jiangxia resigned from an important position at the end of Zhenguan and has been idle at home, but in the first year of Yonghui, His Majesty immediately activated the king of Jiangxia, but unfortunately the good times did not last long. ”

Lu Shigua frowned and said: "If the eldest grandson Wuji was aware of it in advance, and therefore demoted Li Daozong from Chang'an, then this is not good news for Your Majesty. ”

Wang Xuandao shook his head and sighed: "This is what I am most worried about, if you don't rely on Taizong Shengshang, it will be difficult for a few of us to help Your Majesty defeat the eldest grandson Wuji, unless our family is also pulled into this struggle, but even so, the odds of victory are not high." ”

Lu Shigua smiled bitterly: "Even if you want to, those elders in our family may not be willing to wade into this troubled water. ”

Zheng Shanxing said: "King Jiangxia has died of illness, and it is useless to talk about him now." Assuming that Taizong really has a backup move, then this person must be able to compete with the eldest grandson Wuji in terms of qualifications, so who else is there besides Li Daozong? ”

Wang Xuan said: "Wenchenzhong." There were almost no more, but there were two military attachés. ”

Zheng Shanxing said: "Are you talking about Lu Guogong Cheng Zhijie and Dasikong Li Tao? ”

Wang Xuandao nodded and said: "But these two people seem to be unlikely, Lu Guogong and the eldest grandson Wuji have a very personal relationship, when His Majesty ascended the throne, it was the eldest grandson Wuji and Lu Guogong who were by the side. Moreover, since the eldest grandson Wuji took power, he has never targeted Lu Guogong, and both of them are former ministers of the Qin Palace, and their friendship for decades can be seen.

Moreover, it is difficult for Lu Guogong to compete with the eldest grandson Wuji. As for the words of Dasikong Li Tao, you all know that this old fox has played Mingzhe to the extreme, and I have been in the Tang Dynasty since the founding of Gaozu. has experienced countless royal fights, and each time it swept the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, including Fang Xiang, Ma Zhou, and Wei Gong, they were all involved. Only one person has been out of the way since the beginning of the Xuanwumen Incident. This person is Li Tao. ”

Lu Shigua nodded and said: "This person is cautious, only asks about war, not politics, every time the war is over, he will always be the first person to remove military power, and he is away all year round." It's hard to be trusted. ”

"And that's not all." Zheng Shanxing smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Lu, you have been out for a long time. There may be some things, you still don't know, in fact, His Majesty has repeatedly wanted to promote Li Tao today, but Li Tao is always perfunctory, just as a left servant for a while, and then immediately resigned. Now I am sick at home every day, and it is said that I have not been to the early court for more than a year, and every day at home is either fishing or hunting, and I never ask the government about it. ”

Wang Xuandao squinted his eyes and said, "Before the Xuanwumen incident. Emperor Taizong had also personally invited him, but he was unmoved, he was neither an old minister of the Qin Palace, nor a member of the royal family, and all the things in the past, how dare Emperor Taizong entrust him with such an important task. ”

Lu Shigua's face showed a depressed expression, and said: "But if it weren't for the two of them, I'm afraid there would never be a person in the world who could defeat the eldest grandson Wuji." ”

The three of them spoke, and suddenly found that there seemed to be one person missing, and they couldn't help but look at Han Yi, only to see Han Yi sitting on the fence, his hands folded, his thumb bent, and his lips tapped.

"Brother Han."

Zheng Shanxing shouted softly.

Han Yi was stunned and looked at Zheng Shanxing in surprise.

Zheng Shanxing said: "What are you thinking? ”

Han Yi smiled: "I'm thanking our Zhang Zhongcheng. Because I think it is really necessary for me to understand the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. But in his heart, he said that talking to smart people is much easier. His gaze swept over the faces of the three of them, and he said, "We seem to have forgotten one of them. ”

"Who?"

"Your Majesty today."

Lu Shigua was stunned and sighed: "Although this person will change because of this when he becomes the emperor, his nature is difficult to change, and His Majesty's character is still a little weak, if it weren't for this, I'm afraid he wouldn't have come to us for help." ”

"No, I don't think so."

Han Yi shook his head and said: "I think you all know the story of Zhuge Liang and Liu Adou, Adou who can't be supported does not mean that Adou is useless, but that he has a weak personality, he doesn't dare to say no to Zhuge Liang, in fact, Liu Adou is very smart, because he got a good death, as a lord, this is very rare, but His Majesty is definitely not Adou today, otherwise he would not be in a hurry to fight for power, and His Majesty is by no means as incompetent as we imagined."

How tragic was the dispute between the princes at the beginning, and why is it that His Majesty is sitting on it now, a friend of mine once said to me, never attribute the success of others to luck. No matter how strong the eldest grandson Wuji is, he is not the emperor after all, just by virtue of this, we have the confidence to wrestle with the eldest grandson Wuji. I believe that you promised the emperor to enter the court as an official, and you would never pin all your hopes on the late Taizong, right? ”

Lu Shigua and the three were silent.

This is for sure, no matter how weak the emperor is, he is still the emperor, no matter how strong the courtier is, but he is also a courtier.

Lu Shigua said: "But without the support of the ministers of the DPRK and China, even if Your Majesty wants to open this mouth, I don't know where to start!" ”

Han Yi smiled: "I think you have also heard that His Majesty lost his temper in the court yesterday. I guess this may be a temptation of His Majesty, His Majesty wants to see if there is a way to break through the court, presumably the result you also know, Your Majesty's temptation was invisibly resolved by the eldest grandson Wuji, the silent court made Your Majesty at a loss, his arm has accumulated strength, but no one answers, it can be seen that the court is unable to break through, then the only way out is to set his backyard on fire, pull the court to his own home, in the harem His Majesty is the absolute control of persuasion, And the harem is the best battlefield for His Majesty. ”

The three of them nodded frequently when they heard this, in fact, they also thought of this. Wang Xuandao frowned and said, "Are you talking about abolishing Wang Liwu?" ”

Han Yi nodded.

Zheng Shanxing held his forehead with one hand and said, "But Queen Wang is an innocent woman, if we help Your Majesty, it will be tantamount to picking up a butcher's knife against her." ”

Lu Shigua said: "And Concubine Xiao Shu, now that the Lanling Xiao family is very close to the eldest grandson's family, I am afraid it will be difficult to stay out of the matter." ”

Han Yi said: "There is a way to be outside must first be inside, if Your Majesty wants to be the master of the house, the first thing must be to clean up your own backyard, things are progressing this step, this is already irreversible, they are the wives of Your Majesty, but they are with their relatives, not with Your Majesty, not to mention that Your Majesty doesn't like the queen and queen, even if you like it, Your Majesty's harem will never tolerate the two of them, the competition for favor is just a pretense, and the following is the struggle for power, but where the struggle for power, how can it not be dead." ”

Lu Shigua shook his head and said: "Even if you are reasonable, but none of them are guilty to death, but if Wu Zhaoyi becomes the queen, they and their clansmen will inevitably die." I just think that if we don't think about these things from the beginning, then we are no different from the eldest grandson Wuji. ”

Zheng Shanxing nodded and said, "Brother Lu is reasonable. Since we were born, we have enjoyed all the glory and wealth, respected, and it is very simple for us to enter the office, and it is not very easy to be an official, in fact, for us personally, the difference is not very big, and it will cause a lot of trouble. I have seen countless people who have lofty dreams, or to help the world, or to ask for their lives for the people, but almost all of them have lost themselves in the pursuit of power. I think we must stick to our principles from the first day, and use this one reason to destroy countless excuses, otherwise, we will be like those people, either in power or in a foreign land, and what we want at this time will only become a regret before death. ”

Wang Xuan said: "Queen Wang is my clan sister, I can't let my hands be filled with her blood. ”

Principle? Yes, how can a person who can give up his principles at will be able to accomplish all this. Han Yi agreed very much with this, although it will be a success, but if someone budgets for these ten thousand bones from the beginning, then it will be difficult for him to succeed, nodded and said: "If we want to succeed, it is impossible for Queen Wang to sit in the middle palace anymore, what we can do is to save their lives." ”

Wang Xuandao frowned slightly and said: "But she is the queen, only abolished, it is impossible to rest, if you want to abolish the queen, you must give the queen a crime, once she is charged, how to ensure their lives." ”

Han Yi said: "Saving their lives is based on the fact that we can successfully defeat the eldest grandson Wuji and them, if not, then everything is empty talk, so, if we think too far now, we can only sit here and entangle, who knows what will happen in the future, or it may be us who will die, we can only promise ourselves, if we really come to that point, we will do our best to save their lives, as for whether it can succeed, no one dares to guarantee it, the plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky, but there is a premise, As long as we help His Majesty successfully defeat the eldest grandson Wuji, we will be qualified to save their lives. ”

The three of them looked at each other, and after a period of silence, Lu Shigua said, "What we can do now seems to be waiting for His Majesty to speak." ”

Han Yi smiled: "As far as I know, it won't be too long. ”

Zheng Shanxing sighed and said, "In other words, we are already standing on the edge of the abyss. ”

Han Yi said: "In fact, there is no difference between standing on the edge of the abyss and standing on flat ground, because we are all alive, and as long as we are alive, there is hope." ”

Lu Shigua laughed and said, "That's right, as long as you live, there is hope." ”
