Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 346 Uncomfortable

The topic shifted to Dou Jiande, the happiest person was Li Jiancheng, he was really worried that his father would continue to beat him.If possible, he hoped that his father would never bring up the reason for King Qin's death again.

As for Li Yuanji, he was still reminiscing about those two slaps.

The one who was unhappy was naturally Chen Shuda, he hoped that someone would bring up the prince's ineffective support.But after waiting and waiting, not only did others not say anything, but Dou Kang didn't mention it either.

Now that Xiao Yu was about to change the subject, Chen Shuda was naturally unwilling, so he followed up and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say, so I don't want to talk about it."

Hearing this, Li Jiancheng's heart tensed instantly.Chen Shuda is the second child, does he want to bring up the old things again?
In fact, Li Jiancheng thought about directly mutinying and seizing power, but Li Shuliang and Li Daoxuan came too early, so he was unprepared. More importantly, the king of Chu was not his own, and he could not control the army of the king of Chu. He did not expect that the initial hesitation would evolve. To be in such a situation now is simply tormenting.

On the one hand, he hoped that no one would bring up the death of King Qin, and on the other hand, he also hoped that his father would let go of this matter directly, which was really contradictory.

Everyone looked at Chen Shuda.

Li Yuan asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Chen?"

Chen Shuda said: "At the beginning, the crown prince was responsible for supporting His Royal Highness King Qin. He had set off in June, but after half a month of marching, he managed to reach Taiyuan, causing His Highness King Qin to die in battle. His Royal Highness King Qi went out with the army, disobeyed orders, and failed to defend Shanyang. Both are the main reasons for the defeat of the King of Qin, won’t Your Majesty ignore it?”

Whatever you are afraid of, what Chen Shuda said is undoubtedly a challenge to Li Jiancheng's psychological defense.

From Li Zhiyun's point of view, Chen Shuda risked his life to seek justice for King Qin, because after today, the crown prince and King Qi will definitely try their best to eradicate Chen Shuda.

But then again, it is impossible for Chen Shuda to switch to the camp of the prince and King Qi because of the shitty things that King Qi did.

He has only one way to go to the dark.

In comparison, Li Zhiyun cared more about Dou Kang's reaction.Will this former loyal confidant of King Qin second this time?
It didn't take long for Dou Kang to respond.

"Chen Xiang, King Qin has passed away, what's the point of pursuing these things now, do you want the saint to continue to mourn!"

Good guy, Dou Kang's words directly shattered the eyes of a thousand people.

Are you not from King Qin?

Aren't you the same as Chen Shuda?
Dou Kang, you didn't take your brains when you went out today?
Do you have any bottom line?
Where is the integrity?

Although everyone has doubts, there are many smart people who quickly figured out Dou Kang's attitude.Among them, except for King Qi, the others basically figured it out quickly.

The king of Qin is dead, and the crown prince is no longer a threat. The Dou family is throwing stones to ask for directions, and is ready to surrender to the prince!

At first Li Jiancheng wondered why Dou Kang didn't bother him, but after thinking about it, a smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

Killing King Qin is so correct!
If the King of Qin is here, it is absolutely impossible for the Dou family to submit to him!
In this way, Li Jiancheng's depressed mood because of Li Yuan's plan to kill Liu Wenjing and facing Chen Shuda's accusation suddenly dissipated.

What Liu Wenjing said when he left Chang'an, echoed in Li Jiancheng's ears again, only by getting rid of King Qin can all harm be prevented!
Now it seems that it is so.

The son was happy, but the father was not. Although Li Yuan had no hope for the integrity of the aristocratic family, he did not expect the Dou family to be so unscrupulous. Not long after King Qin died, they turned around and fell into the arms of the prince.

Simply unforgivable!
"Everyone heard what Chen Xiang said, what do you think?" Li Yuan's tone was flat, without any fluctuations.

Li Yuanji said gloomyly: "Father, at the beginning the second elder brother asked Fang Xuanling to guard Shanyang. Since the defeat of the Lahe Valley, the second elder brother has never given half of the military power to the son. How can we blame the son on this matter? Also please make a clear decision!"

King Qi is a straightforward person, he says what he has, and what he says is the truth.More importantly, King Qi may not have thought that Li Yuan still agreed with what he said.

The reason was the same, mainly because Li Yuan knew that the relationship between the fourth child and the second child had always been bad, and the fourth child rashly attacked the La River Valley and was defeated, and the second child might indeed take the opportunity to remove the fourth child's military power.

In this way, the reason for the fourth child is actually quite sufficient.

The reason why he wanted to slap the eldest brother before was to beat the mountain and shake the tiger. He was warning to beat the prince and the fourth child.

Beating is not the same as directly dealing with King Qi.

Li Yuan sometimes regretted sending the crown prince to support the king of Qin in hindsight, but if he was given another chance, he might still let the crown prince go.Because at that time, Xieli was coming so fiercely that even King Qin couldn't stop it. If someone else was in charge of the army, that person was defeated or surrendered to Xieli, Tang would be in danger!
It can only be said that the only thing he is not sure about is that the crown prince will really take the opportunity to kill King Qin.Although it was his guess that the crown prince killed King Qin and there was no concrete evidence yet, he believed in this guess very much in his heart.

After Li Yuanji finished speaking, Li Yuan did not speak, which was equivalent to passing the test silently.

Pei Ji cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, what Chen Xiang said is really appalling, I'm sorry I don't agree with it, this matter is of great importance, and it is not appropriate to make rash judgments."

As Lao Li's friend, he knows Lao Li best.

Suspecting that the crown prince killed King Qin is certain, but what Pei Ji understands better is that the sage needs to downplay this matter now to stabilize the court.

If it is really confirmed that the prince murdered King Qin, it will be the biggest scandal since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.When the time comes, what will the sage do with the prince?
Abandoned prince?
It is unrealistic, it will have a huge impact on the already turbulent court situation, and it will not be conducive to post-war stability.

More importantly, if the prince is abolished, who will be the crown prince?
King Qi?

What a joke, if the sage makes King Qi the crown prince, the courtiers are afraid that they will explode on the spot.

Li Chu Wang?
This doesn't work either, the King of Chu is neither a descendant nor an elder, which is not in line with the system.

Therefore, the prince cannot move now!

It is precisely because of this that the sage will stop at the point and stop beating.

Li Yuan also felt uncomfortable, the palms and backs of his hands were covered with flesh.After the death of the second child, does he really need to prove that it was Da Lang who killed the second child?
In this way, where will Dalang be placed?

Could it be that the second child died, and now Da Lang is going to die?
Tangle, pain.

But Chen Shuda couldn't understand Li Yuan. While he was angry at Dou Kang's shamelessness, he took off his official hat and kowtowed to the ground.

"The old minister implores the saint to investigate this matter thoroughly!"

He made it clear that he wanted to seek justice for King Qin, and wanted to bite the prince.

Li Jiancheng was naturally furious, but he didn't dare to speak, because this matter was his inner demon, and he was very worried about being exposed.

Li Yuan's face changed again and again, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't speak.

He really wanted to tear off the prince's disguise directly and question why he wanted to kill his flesh and blood brother.But he couldn't do that, because the prince was in a hurry, what if he rebelled?

After getting rid of the crown prince, the situation in the court, which was already in turmoil due to the death of King Qin, might cause another disturbance.

More importantly, if the prince obeys the law, who will be the new prince?

Also, there was a deeper thought hidden in Li Yuan's heart, leaving the prince behind, maintaining the court, and continuing to be his aloof emperor.

He himself hadn't noticed this.

For the sake of power and stability, he had actually put the matter of King Qin's death behind.

In other words, the reason for King Qin's death was certainly important and made him very angry, but he had subconsciously chosen to compromise for the sake of power.

Li Yuan didn't want to admit this, but he did it.

If not, he would have thoroughly investigated the prince and King Qi, how could he have waited until Chen Shuda spoke up.
