Long live Emperor Wu!

Wu Rou looked at the glass beads in her hand, opened her mouth slightly, and was stunned.

After a while, she lowered her chin. Seeing that Li Shan was acting like a shopkeeper, she slowly moved closer to Li Shan's ear and asked in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, do you allow me to use unfair means, even if... I harm King Pu?"

Li Shan raised his hand to support his chin with some irritability, frowned slightly and said:

"Who will testify if he dies? He cannot die."

"Oh." Wu Rou's voice became longer, and she looked very pityful. She sat up straight and said, "...This is difficult. Otherwise, I would also learn from Sun Wuji and ask him to commit suicide out of fear and leave a letter of regret. Books, aren’t they convenient?”

Li Shan seemed to be shocked when he heard this. He turned to look at her and said:

"How do you..."

He wanted to say vicious, but considering that she was his beloved, describing her like this was too much, so he stopped talking.

But Wu Rou had already received what he meant, and was not sad at all. Instead, she confidently raised her chin, turned her face towards him, and almost touched his face, and said:

"What's wrong? Does it look like I'm bad? ... I learned it from Changsun Wuji. Besides, Prince Pu is already guilty of treason, so what are you doing to keep him?"

Li Shan looked at her face, which looked a little childish and cute because of the deliberately tit-for-tat expression.

He sighed, pushed her cheek away with one hand, turned around again, and said with some annoyance:

"It's up to you...don't let me know."

……

……

Li Tai, King of Pu.

In the Puzhou fiefdom near Luoyang, he drank sips of boring wine.

He once thought that he was only one step away from the throne, but later because Changsun Wuji supported Li Shan, he changed from a popular candidate for the crown prince to a somewhat embarrassed prince.

He was extremely unwilling to be exiled.

He couldn't sleep all day and all night, and his hair turned white.

I don't understand why those ministers, and my father, would rather choose Li Shan, the younger son who is unmotivated and has nothing but kindness, rather than him.

He couldn't figure it out, couldn't figure it out.

But because his father was still alive, and because of his prestige and control over the ministers in the court, he had no choice but to sleep and did not dare to take any action.

Later, his father died, and Li Shan ascended the throne with the help of his veterans.

In the first year, nothing happened. The emperor and ministers in the Tang Dynasty were harmonious and the government was stable.

In the second year, the eldest grandson was highly regarded. Li Shan was diligent in government and loved the people. He gained some prestige and was established as a prince.

Seeing him getting more and more on the edge, when there is no chance.

The personal relationship between Li Shan and Wu Rou was finally known to the world.

Everyone thought that he had noble character and a kind heart, but his behavior of having an affair with his father's concubine was not noble at all, and was even very dirty.

This is a sign of a foolish king, and Li Shan's reputation is damaged.

He was happy and his mind became active again.

He didn't want to go to Chang'an and kneel down to pay homage to his former brother, so he used the excuse of being unwell to avoid participating in royal activities while secretly moving around, encouraging Fang Yiai to contact helpers for him.

He could no longer follow the path of the old ministers in the DPRK. When they unanimously approved of Li Shan, it meant that he had lost their support. But in addition to the courtiers, there was also the influence of the Li and Tang royal families.

There are many descendants of the Li family. Emperor Taizong's original wish was to connect the meritorious ministers in the court with the royal family through marriage, unite as one, and enjoy eternal wealth.

Therefore, all princesses marry into the families of powerful and meritorious ministers. All princes had their own fiefdoms, and served as governors and governors in various places, controlling the military and political power of certain places in the Tang Dynasty.

The power of the Li Tang royal family is the largest force in the court. As long as these people can be twisted into a rope and support him, he will have a chance to take back his own throne.

The Fang family is the family most closely related to the Li Tang royal family.

Fang Yi fell in love with Princess Gaoyang, and his sister married Uncle Wang Li Yuanjing.

They are equivalent to two generations of the Li Tang royal family, and they all have a close relationship.

In the early years, when Fang Yiai and Princess Gaoyang had a harmonious relationship, because they both had lively and cheerful personalities, not only their father and mother liked them, but also many young people from the clan in Chang'an City liked to associate with them. Have fun together.

He himself is very close to Fang Yiai, and as long as Fang Yiai is willing to contact him on his behalf, there is great hope.

He also tried to persuade Gao Yang, hoping that she would help him.

But Gao Yang refused, because he used the excuse that Li Shan had an affair with Wu Rou, but Gao Yang ridiculed him and said with a sneer:

His personal ethics are flawed, so he is not worthy of being emperor? Then why didn’t emperors of all dynasties directly vote for saints?

None of the ancient and modern emperors was a morally perfect saint.

He admitted that what she said was right, but it was also extremely hateful.

Because she obviously won't support him.

Perhaps it was for this reason that she guessed that they were plotting rebellion, and later the news leaked from her, which directly led to the failure of Fang Yiai's plan.

Li Tai knocked the wine glass heavily on the table. Some of the remaining wine in the wine glass spilled out and stained a letter.

That letter was secretly sent to him by Changsun Wuji, telling him everything from the case to the evidence.

Finally, he said that Li Shan was willing to spare his life and had concealed his crime. As long as he went to Beijing honestly after receiving the imperial edict, he would be safe.

Today is already the fifth day after receiving the letter. He ordered people to check the situation in Chang'an, and everything was consistent with the content of the letter.

As a result, he went from being frightened and uneasy when his rebellion was exposed, to suspecting that Changsun Wuji and Li Shan had set him up, to being decadent and sad that things had failed again, and finally...

He felt sick because of Li Shan's inhuman kindness.

With such a person, why should he be the emperor? ...disgusting, so disgusting.

He himself didn't understand why. When Li Shanzhen was about to spare his life, he didn't feel grateful or guilty. He really felt disgusted by him.

The disgust for him is even stronger than before!

"...How disgusting!" Li Tai muttered vaguely.

He looked at the end of the letter, burped unsteadily, and almost vomited it out.

He doesn't care about Li Shan's extrajudicial kindness, he doesn't need his mercy and salvation!

He doesn't want to go to Beijing to be grateful to him!

He wants to rebel!

Li Tai pressed his fat hands on the table, made a loud "pop" sound, and was about to stand up. However, because of his drunkenness, he fell back softly as soon as he stood up.

At this time, the steward of the palace walked in with tiny steps, holding a greeting card in his hand and announcing:

"Your Majesty, someone has come from Chang'an. They say she is the daughter of the British Duke Li Ji, the Lord of Dongping County."
