"Could it be that after Li Zhi ascends the throne, there are still people who dare to openly rebel. Or do you think this king should raise an army to take the throne? Li Ge, the king of Shu, asked Yang Da.

Yang Da smiled and said to Li Ke, the king of Shu: "If the monarch is strong and the minister is weak, then the world will naturally be peaceful and prosperous." If the monarch is weak and the minister is strong, then there will naturally be no peace in the world. ”

And the character of Li Zhi, the king of Jin, is not the kind of domineering, but tends to be weak. And today's emperor did not kill those founding heroes like other founding emperors for the sake of his own reputation. ”

"The emperor is alive, so he can naturally suppress those founding heroes. If once the emperor controls Bintian, His Royal Highness the King of Shu thinks that Li Zhi, the king of Jin, can suppress these founding heroes? ”

Hearing Yang Da's words, Li Ke, the king of Shu, couldn't help but nodded. He still knows his ninth brother better. knows that Li Zhi's character is on the soft side, not with the domineering spirit of a king.

"The ministers of the court are loyal to the emperor, and they are much older than the emperor. I'm afraid that before the emperor dragon controls Bintian, they have already become a cup of loess. Luo Yiming opened his mouth and said to Li Ke, the king of Shu.

"Even if there is no rebellion in the country, it does not mean that the world is peaceful. Before Li Chengqian raised troops to force the palace, he colluded with the Khitan and Xi States to launch a war against Youzhou, the king of Yan, Li Tai. ”

"It's a pity that Khitan and Xi joined forces to defeat Li Tai. If Li Tai had died at the hands of the combined forces of these two countries, I am afraid that Li Chengqian would have sat on the throne now. ”

"So why didn't His Royal Highness the King of Shu follow Li Chengqian's example, after Li Zhi, the king of Jin, ascended the throne. provoked the Western States to raise troops to attack Chang'an. At the same time, the people in the court can suggest that Li Zhi drive the expedition in person. ”

"As long as Li Zhi dies on the battlefield, with his young son, how can he sit in the world. At that time, the world will be in chaos, and His Royal Highness the King of Shu can naturally take the opportunity to take the throne. Yang Dawei opened his eyes and said to Li Ke, the king of Shu.

"It is not difficult to provoke the soldiers of the Western countries to enter Chang'an. But it is not an easy task to let Li Zhi take charge of the expedition. Li Ke, the king of Shu, said after thinking about it.

"Today's emperor has personally conquered many times, opening up territory and expanding territory for my Tang Dynasty. That's why he is called the Emperor of the Holy Ming through the ages. ”

"If someone takes the emperor as a model, they will suggest that Li Zhi, the king of Jin, drive the imperial expedition in person. Do you think Li Zhi, the king of Jin, may admit it? Yang Da said to Li Ke, the king of Shu, with a smile.

"You scholars are so bad-minded that you can even imagine this kind of conspiracy." Luo Yiming said disdainfully.

"Even so, His Royal Highness the King of Shu must secretly accumulate strength. Otherwise, even if it is Li Zhi, the king of Jin, will die in the imperial conquest. I'm afraid that this throne will not be easy to go into the hands of His Royal Highness the King of Shu. Li Ming, the housekeeper of Li Yuanjing, the king of Zhao, said to Li Ke, the king of Shu.

"Mr. Li is right, although this king now has 100,000 Shu troops, but this is far from enough. Luo Yiming, you immediately start recruiting troops secretly, and be sure to recruit 300,000 troops in case of emergency. After Li Ke, the king of Shu, nodded, he said to Luo Yiming.

……

Li Tai, who returned to Youzhou, was very idle. He doesn't need to worry about military and political affairs at all. Prime Minister Liu Renliang and Generalissimo Luo Song of the three armies handled this military and political matter in an orderly manner.

So Li Tai is a chic person, this is not, Li Tai is in a good mood today. Qin Huaiyu, Xu Liang and other six sworn brothers were called to their mansions to drink.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the brothers finally told Li Tai the doubts in their hearts. After all, this matter has been bothering them for a long time, and there has been no suitable opportunity to mention it to Li Tai.

"Lord, the emperor gave the position of the crown prince to the lord, why didn't the lord accept it. Don't you want to be the ruler of the world one day? Xu Liang opened his mouth and asked Li Tai.

"I'm afraid that there is no man in the world who doesn't want to wake up and take charge of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beautiful women. But how many people can actually do it? On the contrary, countless people have died because of it. Li Tai said to Xu Liang with a smile.

"Now that the lord has a large number of soldiers, does anyone dare to have other ideas about the lord?" Xu Liang said to Li Tai puzzled.

It's no wonder that Xu Liang is puzzled, if you want to say who in the world is in the East Palace, the most convincing people in the world. It is estimated that there is only one Yan Wang Li Tai.

Although Confucian students would never want to see this moment. But after all, they only have a pen, not a gun. They're just talking about it.

It is impossible for anyone to have any opinion on Li Tai's succession to the crown prince. No one dared to risk the world's condemnation and use swords against Li Tai.

"Brothers, do you think that with my current strength, if I send troops to force the palace to let my father abdicate, will I be like my imperial brother in the end?" Li Tai asked the brothers with a smile.

Xu Liang and the others didn't expect that Li Tai would ask such a sentence. I really didn't know how to answer for a while. If they were to speak from their hearts, they would naturally feel that there was no possibility of failure.

Seeing the surprised expressions of the brothers, Li Tai said with a smile: "It is estimated that my thoughts are the same as those of the brothers, that is, there is no possibility of failure at all." ”

"If we all know it, how can my father not know it? If I agree to my father's entry into the East Palace that day, do you think my father will be at ease with me? ”

Li Tai said this, and everyone present suddenly realized. Although Li Shimin kept saying that he wanted to make Li Tai the crown prince of the dynasty. And also said that he wanted to give up the throne to Li Tai.

But who would believe that Li Shimin was telling the truth. Even Li Yuan, the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty back then, would never be willing to give up the throne to Li Shimin if he was not passive.

So if Li Tai really accepts the position of crown prince, I am afraid it will definitely make Li Shimin feel guilty. It is estimated that the next step is to slowly weaken Li Tai's power. lest Li Tai follow Li Chengqian's example.

It turned out that the lord was worried about this, but Xu Liang ignored it. But I still think that the prince of the Tang Dynasty is none other than the lord. Xu Liang opened his mouth and said to Li Tai.

"How can I not know the feelings of your brothers, the fathers of your brothers followed my father and laid such a country. Now they are all marquises. ”

"And my brothers, now you are by my side. How could I let all my brothers do nothing for this life? Li Tai said to everyone with a smile.

Hearing Li Tai's words, everyone's eyes couldn't help but show excitement. They didn't want any kind of marquis, because their father already had them.

Even if they don't follow Li Tai, they will inherit their father's title. So all they care about is whether they can make a contribution. Whether he can be as famous as his father?

And how could Li Tai not know what their heart's desire was. So he continued: "My father built the Lingyan Pavilion in the palace, and included the fathers of the elder brothers in the Lingyan Pavilion for future generations to admire. ”

"I promise you brothers today. One day, in the Lingyan Pavilion, there will naturally be a place for all the brothers. And it will definitely not be lighter than your fathers. ”
