Chapter 805 Conspiracy
Chapter 805 Conspiracy
Li Chengqian shook his head in a daze, and said, "Why would the father send an orphan to reward the army?"
Li Shimin is very defensive about military power, how could Li Chengqian not know.
It's just that Li Chengqian doesn't care much about power, and he feels that after he succeeds to the throne, those things belong to him, and he doesn't particularly care about them.
"Your Majesty definitely can't go in person, who else is qualified except the prince?" Du He said.
"maybe."
Li Chengqian felt that Li Shimin should be compensating him for what happened before.
The last time Li Shimin said that Li Chengqian sent people to assassinate Li Tai, and directly put Li Chengqian under house arrest. At that time, Li Chengqian was very angry and felt that there was nothing more sad than death.
He has been working hard to perform, just to get Li Shimin's approval.
But what happened last time made him feel that no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't get Li Shimin's approval.
This made him resent Li Shimin.
In fact, this hatred did not come suddenly.
From a young age, if Li Tai did one thing well, he would be praised by Li Shimin if he did it a little better.
But no matter what he did, no matter how well he did it, Li Shimin never praised him. On the contrary, if there was something he didn't do well, Li Shimin would reprimand him.
The long-term depression finally broke out after being wronged last time.
During the few days of confinement, Li Chengqian even wanted to rebel and put Li Shimin under house arrest, to be the emperor himself, and let Li Shimin see that he can be a good emperor.
This crazy idea did not diminish because Li Shimin lifted his ground restriction.
Li Chengqian thought that Li Shimin would summon him and tell him that he was wrong, but Li Shimin didn't.
"With this reward to the army, His Highness King Wei will not be able to shake His Highness's position as the crown prince." Du He said in a low voice.
Li Chengqian is the crown prince, who already has righteousness, and those civil servants have always supported the establishment of the eldest son.
After rewarding the army, Li Chengqian also gained prestige in the army. Although those generals would not turn to Li Chengqian, they would have a good impression of him.
Don't look at those civil servants and military generals who didn't take refuge in Li Chengqian, but once Li Shimin wanted to change the prince, they would stand up and oppose it.
For civil servants, Li Chengqian is the eldest son, and the eldest son inheritance system has been passed down for thousands of years, and those civil servants naturally have to maintain it.
It can be said that what they value is not Li Chengqian, but the identity of the eldest son.
For military generals, it is natural to hope that the future emperor will be proficient in military affairs and value the army, which is related to their future status.
At that time, even if Li Shimin wants to change the prince, civil servants and military generals will stand up to oppose, Li Shimin can't do anything, unless Li Shimin learns from Zhu Yuanzhang and cleans the power in the court before he dies.
Zhu Yuanzhang intends to pass the throne to Zhu Yunqi, but the former princess also has a son, Zhu Yunxi, who is about the same age as Zhu Yunqi.
In terms of identity, Zhu Yunxi is the real son. Zhu Yunwen's mother was originally only a concubine, and she was named the crown princess after the death of the crown princess Chang.
Moreover, the Chang family is Chang Yuchun's daughter, who was born in an authentic Huaixi noble family.
At that time, most of the military generals in the court were from Huaixi, and they naturally supported Zhu Yunxi as emperor.
This led Zhu Yuanzhang to clean up Huaixi military generals in order to allow Zhu Yunqi to ascend the throne smoothly without causing turmoil.
If Zhu Yunxi had inherited the throne, Zhu Yuanzhang would never have done so.
Although the nobles of Huaixi had been cleaned, there were still some remnants. After Zhu Yunqi succeeded to the throne, he didn't trust them and didn't use them at all.
This is also the reason why Zhu Dijing's difficult battle was successful.
The generals who could fight at that time were either purged by Zhu Yuanzhang, or abandoned by Zhu Yunqi.
There are a few of Zhu Yuanzhang's sons who can fight, but Zhu Yunqi offended those princes to death, how could they help Zhu Yunqi.
Although the situation in the Tang Dynasty was different from that in the Ming Dynasty, Li Shimin did not have any lessons to learn from the past, but if civil servants and military generals objected, Li Shimin had no other way to dispel this idea or clean the court for the stability of the Tang Dynasty.
It can be said that after Li Chengqian rewarded the army this time, as long as he did not die, the position of the crown prince could not be shaken.
As Du He was the first person to support Li Chengqian, after Li Chengqian succeeds to the throne, he will definitely be reused and revitalize the Du family.
"Gu understands, you go back and prepare, and go with Gu tomorrow." Li Chengqian said.
After Du He's analysis, Li Chengqian's mood improved a lot, and the hatred for Li Shimin in his heart also dissipated.
……
"boom!"
When Li Tai heard that Li Shimin ordered Li Chengqian to reward the army, he threw the teacup out of his hand angrily.
Because of anger and the fact that the wound was involved when he threw the teacup, his face turned pale.
"You all go down." Han Wen said to the servants who were too scared to breathe.
Seeing that Li Tai didn't speak, those servants hurriedly retreated as if they were pardoned.
"You did a good job!" Li Tai looked at Han Wen angrily.
If it weren't for Han Wen's bad idea, he wouldn't be injured. Even if Li Shimin still sent Li Chengqian to reward the army, he could still ask Li Shimin to let him go too.
But now that he is injured, it is impossible for Li Shimin to agree.
Han Wen was not afraid of Li Tai's anger, and said lightly: "Your Highness, can't you see it? Your Majesty has no intention of changing the prince at all. Yes, Your Majesty likes His Highness the most, but what's the matter? The eldest son The inheritance system has been passed down for 2000 years, how can it be so easy to break?"
Li Tai's face was livid, his fists were clenched tightly, and he said in a hoarse voice, "How effective is the family's win over the generals in the army?"
Han Wen showed a strange smile, which disappeared in a flash. He knew that Li Tai had made up his mind to launch a mutiny.
Although Li Tai had agreed before, he still held Li Shimin's idea of abolishing Li Chengqian's crown prince, which was obviously not what the family wanted.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, the chief generals in the army are all His Majesty's confidantes, and there is no way to win them over, but those partial generals and lieutenants are easier to win over." Han Wen laughed.
With the list provided by Hou Junji, it is like adding wings to a tiger.
Hou Junji was originally a general in the army, and he was very clear about who was depressed and unsuccessful.
With the influence of the aristocratic family, and with the banner of Li Tai, it will not take much trouble to win them over.
"Your Highness, just two of the guards guarding the gate of Chang'an have been recruited," Han Wen said.
"What about the palace?"
Just opening the Chang'an city gate is not very useful. Although the palace wall is not as tall as the Chang'an city wall, in terms of defense strength, it is more difficult to break through than the Chang'an city.
If the army is really raised, they must break through the palace gate as soon as possible and capture Li Shimin alive, otherwise they will die when the soldiers near Chang'an arrive.
"Your Highness, the guards of the imperial palace are all His Majesty's confidantes. It is difficult to win over, and they will also scare the snake. We haven't contacted yet." Han Wen said.
Li Tai said with an ugly face: "What if we can't break through the palace gate by then?"
