Man Tanghong

After all, no matter how high the status and authority of Admiral Zhenyao was, he was not as powerful and justified as Prince Jianguo when he commanded hundreds of officials.

So, what kind of Zhenyao mansion is still open, wouldn't it be better to directly ask for a decree to supervise the country?

The four of Chen Shuda didn't know what Li Yuanji was thinking. After hearing Li Yuanji's words, they were all taken aback for a second, and then their expressions became brighter.

Chen Shuda's face became brighter at a speed visible to the naked eye. He suppressed the joy in his heart and asked tentatively: "Is what His Highness said true?"

Li Yuanji nodded without hesitation.

Chen Shuda laughed thoroughly, and praised: "Your Highness is indeed wise, and the ministers also felt that the saint's actions were inappropriate, but at the Anli Gate, the saint insisted on going his own way, and His Royal Highness didn't say anything, so the ministers could only obey orders.

Now that His Highness has spoken his mind, the ministers and others can just use this to persuade the saint to withdraw his order. "

Xiao Yu nodded his head and said with emotion: "That's right, that's right, the sage named the King of Qin before... Li Shimin was the general of Tiance, and it was too big to lose, which caused today's situation.

If the sage canonize His Highness as General Zhen Yao again, I'm afraid that today's scene will happen again in the future.

Now that His Highness has seen the disadvantages, it can be said that he is extremely wise to resign from the position of General Zhen Yao. "

Just as Pei Ju wanted to echo, he heard Li Gang say something abruptly, "I'm afraid our Royal Highness Qi Wang doesn't think so..."

Chen Shuda, Xiao Yu, and Pei Ju were stunned again, and looked at Li Gang in astonishment.

Seeing Li Gang looking at Li Yuanji with a sneer on his face, he thought for a while, and guessed the deep meaning of Li Gang's words, then put away the smile on his face, and quickly looked at Li Yuanji, hoping that Li Yuanji could give them one of them. Want to hear the answer.

The deep meaning in Li Gang's words is very simple.

What he meant was that Li Yuanji did not necessarily see the disadvantages of opening Zhenyao's mansion, so he refused to take up the post of General Zhenyao.

It is possible that Li Yuanji simply did not like the position of General Zhen Yao, so he refused to take up the position of General Zhen Yao.

If Li Yuanji doesn't like the position of General Zhen Yao, it means that Li Yuanji wants more.

This is definitely a big bad news for them.

After all, there are not many positions hanging over Li Yuanji's head now.

There are only two of them at full count.

One is the position of prince, and the other is the position of emperor.

No matter which one Li Yuanji wanted, it was not good news for them.

Under the watchful eyes of Chen Shuda and the others, Li Yuanji smiled calmly and said, "I'm not as complicated as Li Shaobao thought, I can see the disadvantages of opening Zhenyao Mansion..."

When the three of Chen Shuda heard this, they were obviously relieved.

Li Yuanji laughed again: "So I want to supervise the country directly..."

The three of Chen Shuda's eyes widened for a moment, and their breathing stopped.

Li Gang showed an expression of 'as expected'.

Li Yuanji continued: "In this way, we don't have to worry about the disadvantages of opening Zhenyao Mansion."

The three of Chen Shuda opened their mouths, wanting to say something to Li Yuanji.

You might as well open Zhenyao Mansion...

Compared with Jian Guo, the disadvantages brought about by the opening of Zhenyao Mansion are nothing at all.

After all, Jian Guo has been the prerogative of the prince since ancient times.

If Li Yuanji supervised the country as a prince, it would be tantamount to stealing the prince's privileges.

With Li Jiancheng imprisoned and Li Yuan generously handing over many powers to Li Yuanji, Li Yuanji can't become a regular anytime and anywhere.

At that time, wouldn't the eldest son inheritance system they support become a joke, how should they deal with themselves?
The reason why they obeyed Li Yuan's order and rushed to Li Yuanji to listen to it was because Li Yuanji did not deprive Li Jiancheng of the crown prince after winning the final victory.

This gave those who supported the primogeniture a modicum of decency.

It is not possible to be scolded as a courtier who is greedy for power and love for money after changing his mind.

Now that Li Yuanji wants to erode Li Jiancheng's crown prince in another way, how can they listen to Li Yuanji? !
"Your Highness! Supervising the country is not easy, please think twice, Your Highness!"

Chen Shuda advised with an ugly face.

Xiao Yu and Pei Ju followed suit.

Li Yuanji smiled and said: "With the help of the four of you, what is not easy will become easy."

But we don't want to!
The three of Chen Shuda shouted in their hearts.

At this time, Li Gang said suddenly, "Why don't your highness abolish the crown prince directly and replace him? Why bother so much?"

The three of Chen Shuda suddenly turned their heads and looked at Li Gang in disbelief.

Is this what you, a staunch primogeniture supporter, should say? ! !
Li Gang easily guessed what Chen Shuda and the other three were thinking, and added in a casual manner, "Anyway, I have decided to beg for the bones. It is tiring to see His Royal Highness King Qi's exhausting plot to become the crown prince, so give it to King Qi." Your Highness advises."

The three of Chen Shuda stared straight at Li Gang.

You are amazing, you are noble.

You can do whatever you want, why are you hurting us? !

You are a famous scholar, so if you retire like this, your name will only be more resounding, and the legacy you will leave to your children and grandchildren will be even greater.

We are different.

Our reputation in Shilin is not as loud as yours, so we can only make a fortune for our children and grandchildren in the court.

You have harmed us so much, what will our children and grandchildren eat? ! !

Li Yuanji took a panoramic view of the reactions of the three of Chen Shuda and guessed what the three of Chen Shuda were thinking. He thought it was quite funny, but he couldn't help but glanced at Li Gang slowly, and said calmly: "This is Li Shaobao. Are you talking angry?"

Li Gang shook his head indifferently and said: "On this matter, it is impossible for me to speak out in anger, otherwise how will I gain a foothold among scholars in the future."

Li Yuanji pondered: "Not necessarily so?"

Li Gang slowly took out a memorial from his cuff, handed it forward and said: "I have already written the memorial to beg for bones, why don't His Royal Highness Qi read it first?"

Li Yuanji didn't expect that Li Gang would come for real, so he thought for a while and said, "There's no need to take a look at it. It's not up to me to decide if an old minister like you resigns."

Speaking of this, Li Yuanji looked at Li Gang and said seriously: "But I can tell you that I have never thought about that position, nor will I plan for it.

The reason why I want to supervise the country is purely because the current Tang Dynasty can no longer withstand too many waves. "

Seeing that Li Yuanji was not interested in his memorial, Li Gang put the memorial back into his cuffs again, and said with a smirk: "Li Shimin also said in the past that when he grows up, he must assist His Royal Highness to be the head of the family. .

But you saw what he did when he grew up.

It can be seen that people's words cannot be trusted. "

Li Yuanji nodded in agreement and said: "Li Shaobao's words are reasonable, and it's really better to do it than to say it."

Li Gang sarcastically said: "Then you are still talking nonsense?"

Li Yuanji smiled calmly, and said boldly: "Am I lying, Li Shaobao can stay and watch."

Li Gang was taken aback, seeing that Li Yuanji didn't seem to be telling a lie, but he didn't dare to believe it easily.

Because he has already been deceived by Li's people once, and he doesn't want to be deceived by Li's people again.

"What did you give me to trust you?"

Li Gang looked serious, staring at Li Yuanji and questioning him.

Li Yuanji smiled and said, "Aren't the lives of my eldest brother and second brother not enough? If I really care about that position, why bother to seek the power to supervise the country? I can kill my elder brother on the Anli Gate And second brother, if that's the case, who else is there for me?"

Li Gang suddenly fell into silence.

He couldn't refute Li Yuanji's words.

Because Li Yuanji's words can stand the test, if Li Yuanji really cared about that position, then he killed Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin on the Anli Gate, and that position can only be his.

But he didn't.

Seeing that Li Gang stopped talking, Li Yuanji continued: "In comparison, my eldest brother and second brother are really concerned about that position, and it is precisely because of this that my second brother launched a rebellion in the palace and wanted to join us. Get rid of me and my big brother and make that position his own.

My elder brother also thought so, that's why he made so many arrangements secretly, preparing to launch a rebellion in the palace.

Isn't it obvious who actually cares about that position? "

After listening to Li Yuanji's words, Li Gang took a deep look at Li Yuanji.

He was not convinced by Li Yuanji's words, but he was a little curious. He wanted to know if Li Yuanji was thinking about that position, and he also wanted to know what Li Yuanji would do in today's situation.

Should he be like Huo Guang, a powerful minister with one man under one man and more than ten thousand people, or be like Yang Guang, a faint king who ascended to the throne on his brother's bones.

If Li Yuanji was Huo Guang, then he wouldn't mind being driven by Li Yuanji, and would also admire Li Yuanji's character.

If Li Yuanji was Yang Guang, he would leave Li Yuanji without hesitation, and record what Li Yuanji did in his life and pass it down to future generations, so that everyone in future generations can clearly see the face of Li Yuanji's hypocrisy.

"Okay, then I'll stay and see if you really keep what you say and do."

"Will you disappoint Li Shaobao?"

Seeing that Li Gang agreed to stay, Li Yuanji said something with a smile, and then looked at Chen Shuda and the three of them and said, "Please come to the Hall of Liangyi, four of you, and persuade my father to take back the will of conferring me as Admiral Zhenyao, and let me do it instead." Supervising the country."

The three of Chen Shuda looked at Li Gang with complicated expressions, and then you looked at me and I looked at you, not knowing how to respond.

Just refuse, Li Yuanji has clearly stated that he is not interested in that position, and they can't find a suitable reason.

Don't refuse, in case Li Yuanji lied to them and becomes emperor in the future, then they will become Li Yuanji's accomplices and their reputation will be ruined.

After exchanging eyes for a while, the three of them looked at Li Gang again. Seeing Li Gang staring at Xiao Yu intently, they immediately understood what to do.

Chen Shuda and Pei Ju saluted Xiao Yu together almost without hesitation: "Then please ask Mr. Xiao to wait for me."

Xiao Yu is a relative, and reputation is far less important to him than to Chen Shuda, Pei Ju, and Li Gang.

Even if he manages his reputation to the point where he can stand shoulder to shoulder with a saint, he will be recorded in the history books as "official prime minister of the Tang Dynasty as a foreign relative".
