Chapter 450 (1/2)
Li Xian didn't intend to hurt Li Hong by the death of Li Zhong and he Lanmin to force him into chaos.
This thought that with Li Hong's character, he would naturally become arrogant, complacent and greedy for power after he was granted the order of Shangshu provincial minister. In this way, he could boost the flames in the dark and force him and his father to go to the opposite of competing for power and profit step by step, and then provide him with the opportunity to take advantage of it.
But I didn't expect that Li Hong didn't get involved in the Luoyang party and Li Yangcang. Instead, he didn't confront uncle Ji Wang. On the contrary, uncle Ji Wang looked at Li Hong differently and received more courtesy.
The next expedition by his father and Emperor gave Li Hong an excellent opportunity to consolidate his position as crown prince, win over courtiers and deal with government affairs. In this way, if he is allowed to supervise the country smoothly, more courtiers will come closer to him.
Therefore, in order to prevent Li Hong from successfully supervising the state in Chang'an, Li Xian had to use the death of Li Zhong and he lanminyue to make Li Hong unable to secure the supervision of the country. He hoped that Li Hong could be forced to be forced into a situation where he was left and right, and let out more flaws, so that he could take advantage of himself, so that his position as prince became precarious.
However, all the actions were easily resolved by Li Hong, especially the incident between Li Zhong and he lanminyue, which did not hurt Li Hong any fur! Not only did he not die in the crown prince's position, but he was summoned to Liaodong by his father's emperor, and now there are rumors that his father may become a Zen emperor.
All this information from gexiyuan makes Li Xian feel the urgency of the situation and greater pressure. If he wants to make a difference and also wants to take the crown prince's position, then he can't wait to die. He must come up with better strategies to force Li Hong to make mistakes.
But now that Li Hong has firmly controlled the initiative and doesn't give himself any opportunities, what else can he do? This made him have to take risks and plan to follow his father's brother Li Chengqian to rebel!
”For many years, my father never claimed to be me. This time in Liaodong, not only did he call himself me several times, but also Li Hong gave full control of the war in Liaodong. All this is not a good phenomenon.” Li Xian's tone is heavy. Everything is bad for him. Now it seems.
Fang Xianzhong still laughed confidently and said, ”Pei Wang, your majesty claims that I will not say whether it is true. Even if it is true, what can it represent? Although his Majesty's dragon body is not in good condition, there has been no sign that his majesty has abdicated to make way for the virtuous. What's more, in Liaodong, his majesty is not good at war. Prince Li Hong has been fighting in Anxi for many years, and he has made great achievements in war. Standing in his Majesty's position, it is the first time for him to fight in person. If he can't win all the battles, will his Majesty's face be ugly? So you don't have to worry about it. Calling his highness into Liaodong is just for the sake of war. As for the matter of Zen position, I think it's totally groundless
”So you mean Gexiyuan was in Liaodong, but he misunderstood the meaning of his father and Emperor? ” Li Xian is still frowning. Fang Xianzhong's words can't let his tangled heart relax.
Fang Xianzhong, with a confident smile, brushed his beard and said, ”King Pei, if you are your majesty, once the war in Liaodong is won, it is of course an urgent matter to set up the antongdu guard house. Your Majesty's Royal expedition has brought so many officials. Isn't it that he hopes that once the war is won, he can appoint officials at all levels of Anton's mansion? Who has done the most in this war? Who has the most positions? ”
”Of course, it's the crown prince, of course.” Li Xian subconsciously replied.
”What king Pei said is true. But after the establishment of antongdu Prefecture, when Dadu was so sensitive and important, his majesty appointed gexiyuan to take the post. On the contrary, he did not let his highness, who had the most meritorious service and had the experience of serving as the grand guard of Anxi, take the post. Can't this show some worrying problems?”
Fang Xianzhong looked at Li Xian in deep thought and continued: ”does your majesty not know that GE Xiyuan is your man? I think your Majesty must know, and your highness may know, too? After all, the fact that you invited many of them to write books has proved to others that you have taken them under your door, and they have also been branded as king Pei, right? ”
”That's right. If I'm a father emperor, if I have the intention of Zen throne, then in appointing Dadu protector of Anton's mansion, it's natural to appoint the prince who has made the greatest contribution in Liaodong war, not gexiyuan. Anxi is now in the hands of Li Hong. Although he is not in Anxi, he still manages Anxi in an orderly way. If his father does not intend to be on guard, he should appoint Li Hong as the governor of antongdu. After all, taking Anxi as a reference, Li Hong should be the most appropriate candidate. ”
”Yes, Pei Wang Congying, but his majesty has appointed gexiyuan as Dadu protector! Not only appointed gexiyuan as the Dadu protector, but also left Liu Rengui, not Xue Rengui! What does that mean? Your majesty doesn't want to! be unwilling! Guard against the crown prince's finger on Anton! Among all the princes, Prince Li Hong has the real power to concurrently serve as the grand guard of Anxi Dufu. Next, you will be the only one to take charge of yunzhongdu. Now, with the addition of gexiyuan, who will also be the guardian of antongdu, does he mean to abdicate and abdicate the throne? ” Fang Xianzhong brushed his beard with a smile, as if everything was under his control. His expression at the moment was like that of Zhuge Wolong. He was determined by his talk and smile.Li Xian's face finally relaxed a little. A worry that had been tangled in his heart for a long time finally disappeared under Fang Xianzhong's doubts and doubts. The whole person had an indescribable sense of ease and joy.
According to his judgment of the situation, he first took control of the Daming Palace, and then, when the father and the crown prince returned to Chang'an, they took control of them by surprise, and then seized the military power. After returning to Chang'an, he forced his father to abolish Li Hong's crown prince, and after a year or two, he let his father's Zen be his own.
Although such a plan was desperate and risky, it was the only way I could think of at that time.
