The Human Emperor Chapter 34: Admonition from Wang Jiuling!

Time slowly passed, a sudden storm enveloped the capital, and after the storm, a case involving the official Assistant Minister Chen Yuan shocked the entire Royal Court.

Although we are talking about the case of Chen Yuan, everyone inside and outside the court knows that the dispute surrounding Chen Yuan is actually the dispute between the princes, especially First Imperial Prince Li Xuantu, Second Imperial Prince Li Chengyi, and the rising Third Imperial Prince.

For the courtiers in all dynasties, what worries and fears most is this kind of prince dispute in the deep palace.

In the previous dynasty, the doctor could not be sentenced to punishment, even if he made the most serious mistake, as long as it was not a crime of treason, at most he would be issued barbarian's border. But once it involves the struggle for the prince and the struggle for succession to the throne, everything is completely different.

Once it fails, it will even involve the family and destroy the whole.

However, everyone knows that everything is unavoidable.

The Emperor Tang was seriously ill, and the three princes must exert all their strength to win over the ministers of Imperial Court and cultivate their wings in order to compete for the position of the ninety five supreme seat on Hall of Supreme Harmony.

And Chen Yuan is the result of this struggle.

……

The heavy rain has not stopped, at this moment, in the East Palace.

Li Xuantu is wearing a black gold gown, standing with his hands behind him, behind him are many staff of the Eastern Palace.

"How is it? What's happening in the Jade Dragon Palace?"

Li Xuantu raised his head and looked at the raindrops falling like a curtain outside the temple, indifferently said.

"His Royal Highness, Chen Yuan's case is now firmly established. Even if it is Third Imperial Prince, it is too late to restore it. Moreover, His Royal Highness is a prince appointed by His Majesty. More than half of the Manchu civil and military personnel have turned to His Royal Highness. Regardless of whether Third Imperial Prince is willing or not. Willingly, they are destined to not be able to threaten Your Highness!"

A deep voice came from behind, the man with a majestic face, white beard, and a strong atmosphere of a superior, precisely Ministry of Justice Minister Zhou Yan.

Li Xuantu didn't speak, but his eyes fluctuated slightly.

Among the six parts of Great Tang, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Revenue, and Ministry of Rites have already taken refuge in him. The other civil and military officials who surrendered to him do not know where they are. Normally, they should have a chance to win, and Li Xuantu always has a deep anxiety in his heart.

"Zhao Wu, how is your place?"

Li Xuantu suddenly spoke.

"In the name of His Royal Highness, we have contacted those people, but whether it is Zhang Shougui, Zhangchou Jianqiong, or Wang Haibin, all of them are loyal to Third Imperial Prince and are not moved at all."

Behind Li Xuantu, an youngster bowed.

Few people know that the battlefield of this prince battle is far from Imperial Court. Those courtiers who took refuge in Li Taiyi, including the battle of Turkic, and those who Li Taiyi excavated, were almost all invited by the East Palace.

"Really?"

Li Xuantu frowned slightly, and a cold expression flashed between his brows.

He is the prince appointed by the Emperor Tang and the heir to the throne. There is no king in the world, and no one is king. Whether it is Royal Court or barbarian's border, everyone should have surrendered to him.

"Third brother, there are some things that don't belong to you, you have to fight, if so, you can't blame me."

Li Xuantu squinted his eyes slightly, bursting out a palpitating chill.

"Let's go ahead with the arrangement and proceed as planned."

……

At the same time, in the Yulong Palace, Li Taiyi also gathered a lot of trilogy and staff, Zhang Shougui, Zhangchou Jianqiong, Wang Jiuling, etc., are all there.

"Did you find it clear?"

Li Taiyi spoke.

"No, we sent someone over, and Li Eunuch was there to respond, but everyone was helpless about His Highness’s condition. In addition, we were checked. Although we didn’t find any problems, we weighed the two closely spaced. Medicine dregs, the two sets of medicine **** have the same composition, but the weight is different."

"There is no accident. Some ingredients in the dregs were removed and picked out in advance. The other party is more cautious than we thought!"

Wang Jiuling pondered for a moment, then said Shen Shen.

As soon as the voice fell, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became extremely heavy. Even Li Taiyi couldn't help but his eyebrows beat, and his heart sank suddenly.

"His Royal Highness, it must be done by First Imperial Prince and Second Imperial Prince. You can't wait any longer. Those people have already speeded up their actions. Take advantage of the fact that the dust is not settled, make a decision early!"

"Otherwise, when First Imperial Prince takes the lead, everything will be too late."

Behind Third Imperial Prince, Zhang Shougui suddenly spoke.

As soon as the voice fell, all the ministers of Albus, Zhangchou Jianqiong, Wang Jiuling, Gao Lishi, etc. who had taken refuge in Third Imperial Prince looked over. Obviously, everyone had the same mind.

"How to do it?"

Li Taiyi shook his head:

"Brother Dahuang is the prince appointed by Father Emperor after all, and Grand Preceptor Grand Tutor is included in Imperial Court. If I do it now, I will seek rebellion."

As soon as the voice fell, everyone was silent.

The succession of the prince to the throne is justified. This is also a disadvantage for everyone.

But everyone in the Jade Dragon Palace knew that Emperor Tang hadn't thought about registering Third Imperial Prince, but she just had an idea and was rejected by Empress Dou De.

In fact, allowing Third Imperial Prince to enter Imperial Court to participate in politics is enough to show that Emperor Tang's original idea of ​​withdrawing from First Imperial Prince as the prince has been loosened. At least in the heart of Emperor Tang, Third Imperial Prince also has the qualification to inherit Great Lineage.

In the past dynasties, the position of emperor has always been held by the virtues, not just the elders and the young.

The most important thing is that Emperor Tang's condition worsened, and I was afraid that he could not get rid of the Donggong. Even if it was not done by the Donggong, at least Donggong was an insider.

——As a prince, but not stopping, it is treason in itself. If this is confirmed afterwards, then First Imperial Prince is not eligible to inherit Great Lineage at all.

Wow!

While everyone was discussing, a sound of wings bursting into the ears, but after a short while, a homing pigeon dropped from the sky through the window and landed in Li Taiyi's palm.

"It's a letter from Donggong!"

Wang Jiuling and others just took a look, and immediately felt stunned.

The Donggong spies have special signs in their messages, and all the core members of the Yulong Palace know these signs.

Li Taiyi opened the news on the leggings of the homing pigeon, only to glance at it, and his expression became serious.

"Let the notice go down, the East Palace is ready to do it!"

……

The storm was much faster than everyone expected.

Three days later, I was still in the Jade Dragon Palace, waiting to be dispatched to help planning strategy(-ies) Zhang Shougui, and received a transfer order. Northwest Turkic renewed turmoil, and Zhang Shougui was transferred to the border.

——Before the Turkic battle, when Zhang Shougui was banned from General Zuo Lang and was assigned to the northwest frontier. This was originally a false job, but it was used by the East Palace and transferred to the capital.

In just one day, news came from the palace again that First Imperial Prince was assassinated in the East Palace. This incident caused First Imperial Prince to be furious, and to rectify Imperial Guard. Since the last place where the assassin escaped was in the area where Wang Haibin was in charge of Imperial Guard, Wang Haibin was directly dismissed from the Commander of the Imperial Guards position.

The Imperial Guard he trained was also taken over by Donggong and handed over to another Commander of the Imperial Guards.

As for Wang Haibin, he was transferred to Lingnan to train recruits for Royal Court.

In just a short period of time, Zhangchou Jianqiong, Albus, including in-court's courtiers who took refuge in Third Imperial Prince, were all transferred out of the capital, or deprived of official posts, and demoted to barbarian's border.

Everything came as planned, and the most deadly blow came from the Wu Menglong case a few days later.

Zhang Jiuling, who was next to Li Taiyi, was also involved in this case of buying and selling officials, and was sent to a prison specially set up by the order for interrogation and punishment.

More importantly, Second Imperial Prince framed Wang Jiuling to buy an official from the Emperor Tang and was sent to a prison specially appointed by the edict for interrogation and punishment.

In the winter solstice, although the sun is shining brightly, there is a violent cold wind, which seems to indicate something, making people chill.

Outside the gate of Dali Temple, there are few pedestrians, and a long figure waits silently at the end of the road.

Chang!

I don't know how long it took, and a trembling figure walked out of it with a sound of metal crashing.

"Jiuling!"

Seeing the Wang Jiuling walking out inside, Li Taiyi was overjoyed and hurriedly greeted him.

It is the latter, with a calm face, as if he had expected Li Taiyi to appear here.

"Your Highness!"

Wang Jiuling said calmly.

"I have handled Royal Court properly. Wu Menglong's case is over. Let's go, I will take you back!"

Li Taiyi stepped forward, personally supporting Wang Jiuling's scarred body, step by step onto the bronze carriage.

I haven’t seen it for a few days. Wang Jiuling has lost a lot of weight and has messy hair. The prison clothes are covered with dark brown dry blood. Obviously, I have received a lot of severe corporal punishment in the prison. The skin and flesh were tightly glued together, half wet and half dry. It was obvious that the blood stains hadn't dried out, so the next round of torture was carried out to extract a confession.

Looking at the Wang Jiuling in front of him, Li Taiyi's eyes were also sad, but he also resisted not speaking.

"Today the winter solstice, I prepared some dumplings."

The carriage set off went all the way through numerous streets and lanes. When it entered Imperial Palace and arrived at Yulong Palace, the two got off the bronze carriage, and Li Taiyi finally broke the silence.

Li Taiyi knew that Wang Jiuling had his pride in his heart. After coming out of the special prison to the Jade Dragon Palace, he was silent for a long time, and he did not speak until now.

However, Wang Jiuling didn't speak. He lowered his head, and his messy hair covered his face, making people look down on him.

the next moment, without the slightest sign, Wang Jiuling turned abruptly, faced Li Taiyi, and knelt down solemnly.

"His Royal Highness, the heaven will be a great man to serve the people of Sri Lanka, and he must first suffer from his will and his muscles. The minister can bear this bitterness."

"Now, the dead, dead and wounds of the servants of His Royal Highness are still left in the capital. There are very few left. These people have lived and died with His Royal Highness. The minister believes that His Highness’s heart is more painful than anyone else. ."

"First Imperial Prince blatantly dealt with the ministers and others. His Royal Highness should understand what they are for. Moreover, His Royal Highness has a delicate body. If this continues, I am afraid it will not last long."

"The minister has long tied life and death to His Royal Highness, and vowed to guard His Highness to the death. I hope that His Highness will make a plan as soon as possible!"

Seeing this scene, Li Taiyi was startled.

As the saying goes, the man has gold under his knees. Wang Jiuling has just been released from prison. His body is obviously too weak, but he still has his waist straight and speaks out.

He still has his heart in his heart, and Li Taiyi is also moved.

However, there are some things that can’t be done just like you want.

"Hey, Jiuling, I understand your intentions, but he is the prince after all!"

"It's not that I don't want to. It's just that if you sit in that position with a bad name, even if you succeed, you won't be recognized by the world."

Soon, Li Taiyi recovered and let out a long sigh:

"Jiuling, get up first."

Li Taiyi stretched out his hands and wanted to step forward and lift Wang Jiuling up.

However, Wang Jiuling is motionless, as if it blends with the ground.

"His Royal Highness once said to the minister in the Ministry of Justice dungeon,'Hundreds of years later, all the civilizations of Central Plains Divine Province cease to exist. All the Han people are slaves to foreign race. Life is not as good as death. They are slaughtered, just like ant weeds. Living like this, Divine Province has become a pasture for all foreign race.'"

"The minister still remembers that His Highness once said that no matter what the price is, as long as the destiny of Central Plains can be changed and a prosperous Great Tang can be created, it will benefit the people of the world. Don’t hesitate. Have you forgotten all these Highnesses?"

Wang Jiuling's voice was thrilling, like an alarm bell, beating every word in Li Taiyi's mind.

In an instant, Li Taiyi's eyes flashed, and it seemed that all the tragic conditions of the previous dark age had passed in front of him, and the refugees were crying and starving for thousands of miles.

"Because I believe in His Royal Highness, because I feel the truth and belief in His Highness, so whether it is Wang Haibin, Zhang Shougui and others, they have chosen to follow His Royal Highness and entrust his wealth and life to His Highness."

"Yes, as His Royal Highness said at the beginning, First Imperial Prince is a prince after all, and it was sealed by His Majesty, and he did not commit any major mistakes, but the dispute between the prince and the prince is cruel. Either you die or I die." /

"And look at what First Imperial Prince is doing now. Does your Highness really think that he will be a Mingjun when he is enthroned? The emperor is about Saji, and every move will be influence. Even if First Imperial Prince becomes the emperor, he will use it for himself. I’m afraid it will cause trouble for Great Tang."

Wang Jiuling's words come from the heart and soul, and weep blood every word.

In an instant, Li Taiyi looked in a daze, and suddenly remembered a lot.

In the previous life, First Imperial Prince Li Xuantu instinctively became a generation of Mingjun, but his biggest shortcoming was arrogance.

Shortly after he sat on the throne of Emperor Tang, Turkic struck, because Turkic had been defeated by him, so he didn't care at all. However, that time, it was not just Turkic that came to attack Great Tang, but also U-Tsang, Mengshe Polity, Goguryeo and other countries.

One time underestimating the enemy, the whole country was plunged into dire straits.

More than that, after the fall of Great Tang, Li Xuantu knew he had made a mistake, and wanted to lead elite troops into the enemy camp, take the enemy’s first level, and break the boat. However, a momentary impulse made Great Tang no longer have a king, and then fell into it. The prolonged civil strife made Great Tang's territory shrink and shrink again, until the dark age where Li Taiyi lived.

"His Royal Highness, First Imperial Prince has disregarded brotherhood, and now it’s too late to change its strategy. When the dust settles, it will be too late. And even if your Royal Highness does not care about herself, don't tell me will not care about Mother Dou De? Once First Imperial Prince is successful, There will never be any kindness."

"wēng!"

Hearing these words, Li Taiyi's heart shook suddenly.

"Those who make big things don't stick to the trivial, did your Highness don't tell me forget Taizong's past? It's just me now, and the next one will soon be His Highness. If your Highness doesn't fight back, you really can only wait and die.

In just a moment, Li Taiyi's eyes finally became firm.

"Jiuling, I understand!"
