Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 390 How do you make the saint feel
The situation is deadlocked.

Same as last time, when Zheng Shanguo proposed to get rid of King Chu, everyone objected at the same time and refused to agree.

This time, though not all were opposed, the majority did not support the risky tactic.Lu Chisong, in particular, directly opposed it face to face.

This made Zheng Shanguo very angry, so he said: "Are you worried that once the King of Chu dies in Youzhou, he will have something to do with your Lu family?"

Anger welled up in Lu Chisong's heart, and he immediately said, "Mr. Lu is definitely not a duplicitous villain, and that's not what I'm worried about. You said it yourself, the plan is not sure, and if it fails, the king of Chu will turn against the water and the consequences will be severe." Who will bear it?"

"If the king of Chu dares to rebel, he will directly send troops to suppress it!" Zheng Shanguo refused to budge.

The two stared at each other with big eyes, and there was a tendency to strike at any disagreement.

"That's enough." Li Jiancheng interrupted them and said, "What's the matter, we just need to discuss it carefully. If we quarrel, can there be a solution?"

"I'm sorry." The two of them lost their momentum.

Wang Gui said: "Your Highness, I still think that this is not a last resort. Let's not talk about whether the assassination can be successful, but whether the sage will send the King of Chu to fight. Now the King of Chu is the general of the gods, and there is nothing to seal. , just like the King of Qin back then. Unless all the Turks went south again, how could the saint let the King of Chu deal with such forces as Luo Yi."

"That's right." Lu Chisong echoed, "There are many generals in the court, if there is a change in Youzhou, would the sage let the King of Chu deal with Luo Yi?"

Zheng Shanguo blushed and was very angry.

"I'm planning for His Highness, not looking for problems for His Highness. Since you all think it's not good, then do you have a way to stop King Chu from continuing to grow?"

Quarrel.

A violent quarrel.

Some people say that the prince will return to court after the time limit has passed.

Some people said that they would send someone to warn the king of Chu.

Others said that they should deal directly with the king of Chu now, regardless of the saint's warning.

In short, there is no way to directly defeat King Chu.

Therefore, Li Jiancheng did not have a solution that he could adopt.Originally, he was inclined to kill the King of Chu directly, but after Wang Gui's analysis, Li Jiancheng also felt that it was unrealistic.

Luo Yi is not a Turk, if Luo Yi dares to rebel, there are still a few generals in the court who can deal with Luo Yi.

In this case, the probability of the king of Chu going out is very small.

What's more, Luo Yi still doesn't dare to rebel, and Gao Kaidao, the only threat, can't be compared with Turkic.

As for the south, there is Li Xiaogong, the king of Junjun Zhao, sitting in the town, and the saint will not let the king of Chu go.

"All right!"

Li Jiancheng spoke out, and everyone stopped arguing.

"Wait, on the day of King Qin's burial, Gu must go and see him off."

"But Your Highness, even if you go, the saint will not allow you to participate in the government affairs in advance." Zheng Shanguo said.

Li Jiancheng pursed his lips and said, "Zheng Qing, I know your worries, but right now you want the King of Chu to leave the capital. Unless the Turks go south again on a large scale, the Emperor Father will not easily send the King of Chu."

Seeing this, Zheng Shanguo sighed, he knew that the prince hesitated again.

"Your Highness is right." Lu Chisong clasped his fists.

Wei Ting analyzed: "Actually, Your Highness does not need to worry too much. King Chu and King Qin are different after all. Although he has soldiers and horses in his hands, he does not have the support of the Guanlong family. Moreover, his foundation in the court is shallow. As long as Your Highness respects Going back to the court and dealing with the King of Chu is much easier than dealing with the King of Qin.

The most important thing is that the sage is obviously supporting the king of Chu now. If we make a move at this time, the sage will not be on the side of the king of Chu.

Is His Highness still worried that the King of Chu will not be able to be suppressed in the court in the future? "

Wang Gui agreed: "That's right, we are all focused on planning for Your Highness. Although the King of Chu is a threat, it is not as good as the King of Qin back then."

Li Jiancheng thought for a while, nodded and said, "Let's do this first."

In fact, he also knew that what Wang Gui and Wei Ting said was right, but he always felt a little pimple in his heart. He thought killing the second child would be a sure thing, but he didn't expect the fifth child to jump out and add trouble to him.

Soon, everyone dispersed.

Wei Ting returned halfway.

As Li Jiancheng's childhood friend, he has a closer relationship with Li Jiancheng than others.

"You stay, but what do you want to talk to Gu alone?"

"Yes."

Li Jiancheng ordered people to retreat, leaving only Wei Ting in the room.

Wei Ting said: "Your Highness, since King Qin's death, you have become unstable."

"Unsteady?" Li Jiancheng was puzzled.

"That's right." Wei Ting said: "I don't deny that the King of Chu is a threat, but the threat of the King of Chu is completely different from that of the King of Qin. The King of Chu is a concubine, which is enough to block his ambition."

"But he has military power in his hands." Li Jiancheng said lightly.

Wei Ting smiled and said: "But His Highness is the crown prince, if His Highness ascends the throne in the future, if the King of Chu rebels, who will support him?

Without the support of the aristocratic family, where would the king of Chu's money come from?
In fact, His Highness also knew in his heart that the saint suspected that King Qin's death had something to do with His Highness, but the Saint did not investigate, and even when Chen Shuda strongly demanded to punish His Highness and King Qi, he just ordered His Highness to be confined to the East Palace.

It can be seen from this that the sage does not want to abolish the prince in his heart. "

Hearing this, Li Jiancheng thought for a while and said, "There are more."

Wei Ting continued: "The reason why the sage supports King Chu is that he is worried that after the death of King Qin, no one in the court will be able to check and balance His Highness. If the sage really intends to change the crown prince, why doesn't he take advantage of the death of King Qin to investigate in detail?
Therefore, in my opinion, the sage just wants to limit His Highness.If His Highness continues to suppress King Chu, it will only make the saint more afraid.

Like Zheng Shanguo, if you get rid of King Chu, will His Highness know the consequences?

How do you make the saint feel when two clan kings died in a row and they were both on expeditions? "

A trace of sweat dripped down Li Jiancheng's forehead.

Before Wei Ting finished speaking, he continued: "If Your Highness is ready to ascend the throne, if you want to get rid of the King of Chu and remove obstacles, your subordinates will definitely support you. But Your Highness, are you ready?"

Li Jiancheng was silent for a while, then shook his head.

He wasn't ready.

He just, purely wanted to prevent the King of Chu from continuing to sit in the court.

Wei Ting sighed: "That's why I said that Your Highness has become unstable since the death of King Qin. You only want to kill all the courtiers who are not loyal to the Eastern Palace, but have you ever thought about the feelings of a saint?"

Speaking of this, Li Jiancheng has already realized.

"You mean, if you want to get rid of King Chu, you have to be prepared to do it all at once, right?"

"That's right, if His Highness is not prepared, but kills the King of Chu, the saint will only be more afraid of His Highness. He is even worried that His Highness will force the palace."

This is not alarmist talk. If there was a day when the king of Chu died outside, the saint would definitely suspect that Donggong did it.At that time, the sage might think, Donggong can kill his brother, but can't he kill his father?
Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng broke out in a cold sweat, and he found that he was indeed a bit aggressive and unstable.

"The enlightenment." Li Jiancheng clasped his fists at Wei Ting and saluted, "You are right, you are lonely and unstable."

Seeing this, Wei Ting was extremely pleased.

"I hope His Highness can clearly see that it's not that I don't want to attack the King of Chu, it's just that I haven't made complete preparations. If I attack rashly, not to mention that it won't work, it will make His Highness completely alienated by the sage."

"Gu knows, thanks to your reminder today, otherwise Gu would almost go astray."

"This is what the minister should do."

After Wei Ting withdrew, Li Jiancheng looked a little gloomy.

He knew what Wei Ting said was very reasonable, if he didn't get rid of King Chu with the idea of ​​enthroning, it would be meaningless.

Because at that time, if the two brothers died in succession, the emperor would not be jealous of him, but loathed and hated him.
