Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 806 The veteran has been taught!
Li Ke died by slaying himself, and he still carried a lot of resentment. Perhaps in the eyes of others, he deserved his death; but in Li Chengqian's view, the third child is the kind of person who lives in a dream, and he hopes too much to become the next "King of Qin" , If you get into the drama too deeply, you will trap yourself.

In fact, whether it is the third child or Cen Wenwen, they still don't know the emperor well enough, and they have exhausted their efforts to imitate the emperor in everything, but they still can't please him.For example, their exposed ambitions are even more disgusting to the emperor, but they enjoy it and don't know what the trouble is.

On the third day of Li Ke's death, Concubine Yang, who was in Yeting, also hanged herself from the beam, and the queen specially ordered him to be buried with the ceremony of a talented person.The Sanfa Division also came up with a straightforward son this time, and the Wu Wang Party was charged with treason. Liu, Xue and others were executed in Dongshi.

Except for Li Anyan and Hegan Chengji who rebelled against the water, only the Chai brothers survived. Their task in this incident was to guard the text of Cen. The emperor also looked at the face of Princess Pingyang and Chai Shao. Made some cover-ups, just reduced them to ordinary people.

The most difficult thing to deal with was Cen Wenwen. He was the only person who opposed the incident. The case file clearly records how he persuaded Li Ke and denounced the fo family vulture, and he has been by the emperor's side for many years. He has worked so hard, so the edict against him has not yet been issued.

He didn't want a talented person like Cen Wenwen to die at the hands of the swordsman, so he specially asked the prince to see him off for the last time. This dignity should be given.

Li Chengqian brought only two things to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, one is a chessboard, and the other is old wine from Xinghua Village. These two things are Cen Wenwen's favorite in his life. In all fairness, apart from that incident, Cen Wenwen is indeed a respectable opponent.

"His Royal Highness, are you here to see off the veteran for the last time?" Cen Wenwen sat kneeling in front of the table with his back straight, and he never lost the strength of a scholar-bureaucrat.

"Cen Xiang is still so wise, everyone who has to go is gone, and the husband's family will also go with the husband, but since Changqian has been working alone for many years, and she has to use her life to speak, she has to go. It's already Instruct the officers of the Ministry of Punishments to use poisonous poison when sending them on the road, saving a lot of pain, and it can be regarded as leaving a whole body."

During the conversation, Li Chengqian specially handed him a jug of wine, and then began to pick up the chessboard, talking about killing Cen Wenwen's family, as if crushing an ant, it was very calm.He knew in his heart that with Cen Wenwen's wisdom, he might have thought about the result of failure a long time ago, otherwise he wouldn't be so magnanimous.

"That's fine, we don't have to worry about going together, the old minister wants to thank His Highness for your kindness." After cupping his hands in thanks, he took another sip of old wine and continued: "Oh, time flies by like a fleeting horse, when we played chess with His Highness in the pavilion , you are just a child of the head of the head, but you have become a real dragon with the head of the head, and the old minister is not wronged if he loses!"

"I remember that Your Majesty once said to the old ministers that people are sometimes benevolent in one thought, and sometimes evil in one thought. Those who are ministers should think more about it, so as not to cause a disaster that is hard to recover.

Now that I think about it, His Majesty has been very clear about the actions of the old minister and the King of Wu. If he hadn't been concerned about the father-son relationship with King Wu, the old minister's head would have been chopped off to pay homage to the dead! "

"In this life, half of the veteran's energy is devoted to assisting His Majesty, and half of his energy is used to cultivate the King of Wu; in the first half, the veteran wins, and assists the Ming Lord to create a prosperous dynasty; The minister does not know the master; the old minister will never lose or win in his life, Your Highness thinks so!" After finishing speaking, Cen Wenwen fell down and gave Li Chengqian an indifferent look.

In the struggle for imperial power, there has always been no right or wrong, only winning or losing. What Cen Wen wrote was to let his beloved prince enter the East Palace, so even though he knew that murdering Changsun Yue was a shameless act, he still did not regret it. He had already made a choice!
But losing like this, he really finds it ridiculous, because he lost on the most basic condition of mutual distrust between the monarch and his subjects, which is far worse than the intimacy between the prince and the eldest grandson Wuji. !
"Cen Xiang, I have been fighting for more than ten years, and I never thought that it would end like this. The father refused to elaborate on what happened in Hanfeng Palace that day, and I didn't ask. But I know one thing, the defeat of Mr. It’s not that I lost here, but that I made a mistake from the beginning.”

Hearing what the prince said, Cen Wenwen was slightly taken aback, and asked the prince for advice.After Li Chengqian took a sip of the old wine, he got up and talked about the difference between him and Wu Wang Yidang.

As we all know, the emperor relied on mutiny to gain the throne, so what he tabooed most was rivalry and fighting between brothers, so it was very unrealistic to want to squeeze out all the princes to inherit the Tang Dynasty.

From the moment he entered the East Palace, Li Chengqian was well aware of this truth, and Changsun Wuji and Li Gang also spoke to each other, hoping that the prince can take a defensive position in the days to come and put more energy into managing talents and places .

As of this year, there are more than 630 civilian officials from various provinces, prefectures, and counties who were born in the Eastern Palace, and there are as many as a thousand generals and schools in the military at all levels, and they are all loyal and sincere. A force that dare to be underestimated; to put it bluntly, it is the force that threatens the imperial power the most among the princes.

That's right, Cen Wenwen's thinking is correct. With such a large force, how can the suspicious emperor not be afraid? It will be a matter of time before father and son have a rift, so his strategy of persuading Li Ke to wait for time is right. of.

But he still made a mistake. It was Li Chengqian's heart, or the prince's courage. The emperor secretly arranged for each prince. After these princes gained power, the first thing to do was to cut them off. To avoid the eyes and ears of the emperor, Li Ke did the same, but it was not clean enough.

The East Palace is the same, and there are more than one. There are several people in the center of the East Palace who are the eyes and ears of the emperor, but Li Chengqian entrusts them with important tasks, and entrusts them with most of the general affairs of the East Palace.To put it bluntly, if he sneezes in the East Palace, the emperor will record it the next day, so there is no secret in the East Palace that the emperor does not know.

It can be said that the internal power of the Eastern Palace is actually in the hands of the emperor. This is the life of the prince. If Li Chengqian is loyal to the emperor, then these people will still be the loyal ministers of the Eastern Palace and act according to the order; but once they feel rebellious, That is the end of the dead without a place to die.

"Cen Xiang, the father's actions can be regarded as precautions, or as caring for his son. As for the lonely person, his thinking is relatively simple. I would rather believe in the second point.

In this way, there will be no estrangement between father and son because of power, and it will be profitable for both the country and oneself. It is a little naive, but it is also the most effective, isn't it? "

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, Cen Wenwen nodded thoughtfully, and then replied: "Your Highness is wiser than the king of Wu and the old ministers. Compared with the supreme imperial power, we are all ants after all. All of this, It is all under His Majesty's control. His Highness's words of breaking the situation today, the old minister has been taught."

"Cen Xiang, Gu is able to come to this day because Gu is more daring to gamble and bet than you guys. You will never imagine how Gu was able to resist that murderous heart back then.".
