Chapter 778 Empress Changsun's Calculation
Chapter 778 Empress Changsun’s plan
"A long time later, there was an emperor, whose temple name was Kangxi. He inherited the throne when he was very young. Well, he should not be older than you at that time, and that was the age he had just remembered," Liu Yi looked down at Li Zhi in the study room of Liu Mansion and whispered: "At that time, the country was stable, the old emperor was new, and there were few ministers in the court who were willing to take this little emperor seriously. There was only one Empress Dowager in the entire palace who could say something. However, Empress Dowager was finally a woman and lived in the deep palace for a long time. So what could it be if he was powerful? Many things still have to be borne by the little emperor alone."
"Among those ministers, there was a founding general named Obai, born with divine power, invincible bravery, and claimed to be the number one warrior in the world at that time." Seeing that he had obviously attracted Xiao Lizhi's attention, Liu Yiu continued to say: "However, this man, who was powerful and bullied the master, refused to obey the order, and he wanted to eliminate dissidents in the court and killed loyal and kind people. On several occasions, he even used swords and used force in front of the little emperor to kill officials who opposed him."
"If you are not respected by the master, you are not respected by the superior, you are not respected by the minister. This person should be killed!" Xiao Zhinu clenched his fists and spoke in anger.
"It should be killed, but the new king is weak, and Obai is also the leader of the ministers, in charge of military power, and even a word can depose the little emperor. Who dares to kill him?" After taking Li Zhi's words, Liu Yi asked softly without hesitation: "If this murderous intent leads to his early rebellion, how can you let the little emperor deal with it?"
"This..." Li Zhi's little brow frowned slightly, thinking in his heart what he would do if he had done it. However, seeing his little brows getting tighter and tighter, it was obvious that he had not thought of any good idea.
"So, the little emperor chose to endure." After a moment of pause, Liu Yiu said again, "In daily life, he pretended to be playful and erratic, showing that the enemy was weak, met in the court, and was kind and close to him. Aobai celebrated his birthday and went to pay his respects to him. When Aobai was sick, he would also visit him in person. It looked like a harmonious attitude between the king and the minister, which greatly reduced Obai's vigilance. But behind his back, the little emperor paid great attention to cultivating and accumulating his own strength."
"The enemy is strong and I am weak, so it should be like this." The little guy stretched his eyebrows, looked up at Liu Yi, and said, "Later, Master? Did that little emperor fight against the treacherous minister named Obai?"
"Eight years!" Liu Youxuan said calmly: "Kangxi endured Oboi for eight years, and was dissatisfied with the snake, and was in harmony with his face. During this period, he watched Oboi kill one loyal minister after another. It was not until the young emperor grew up to 16 years old that he relied on more than a dozen wrestling guards under his command, and took advantage of Oboi's inattention to control the famous general Oboi in the palace and went to the heavenly prison. At this point, the young emperor was truly dominating the world and began to truly rule the court."
"Okay!" Xiao Zhinu shouted a good word, and said happily like a little adult: "Eight years of dormant, flying to the sky! Those who are kings should be like this!"
"Haha, do you know why a teacher wants to set up a separate course for you?" Ti Wing sat down at the first seat of the class. Liu Yi picked up the tea bowl and looked down at Li Zhi, asking in a low voice.
"Because of the identity of a student?" Xiao Zhinu asked Liu Yi tentatively. In fact, when Liu Yi began to prepare to teach them separately, Li Zhi had this idea in his mind.
"Not bad!" Liu Yi nodded and looked at the prince student with satisfaction, and said, "Because you are the prince and the prince, as long as the new emperor does not ascend the throne one day, you will have the opportunity to become the crown prince. So some things are hoped that you can get in touch with them earlier. Even if you cannot become the crown prince in the future, you can at least have some means of self-protection, at least become a free and leisurely prince. It will not be difficult to enjoy a peaceful life."
"The master is joking. The prince's brother Shengjuan Zhenglong has no desire for the position of crown prince." After his eyes lit up, the little guy whispered in a low voice: "And the prince's brother is kind by nature. If he is the emperor, he will never kill his brothers and sisters."
"Haha, there are some things that you can't forget about, or just say." Liu Yi smiled and shook his head slightly. He lowered his head and sipped a sip of tea: "Besides, no one can explain the future, but learning more is not a bad thing for you."
"Yes, master! Thank you for your guidance!" Li Zhi bowed his head respectfully, and bowed respectfully to Liu Yi.
"Also, what the teacher will tell you in class," Liu said in a look down at Li Zhi, and said in response to Liu Yi: "If the emperor asks, you can tell me bluntly. As for others, including the Queen and your prince, remember to keep your mouth shut, otherwise, it will be a disaster for you and the teacher."
"Yes, master, the student has recorded it." Li Zhi replied seriously: "Unless it is the emperor's question, the teacher's words in class will not be heard from the students."
"Well, okay, let me tell you some things about the little Emperor Kangxi after he grew up." He nodded with satisfaction, Liu Yi raised his hand and placed the tea bowl on the table, and then the above story said: "Emperor Kangxi has twenty-four sons, among which the eldest is the prince, incompetent and ruthless, and the second is..."
"When you were in a hot day before yesterday, something big happened in the court." Seeing that your son woke up, Empress Changsun waved her hand and left and left, reached out to hold the reteng ginseng soup on the table next to her, and said softly while feeding Li Chengqian: "The little Laner from the Gongsun family has returned from the northwest. She is crazy about gaining and beating General Gongsun Wude."
"Gongsun Helan?" Li Chengqian obediently opened his mouth and drank the ginseng soup. When he heard what Empress Changsun said, he couldn't help but mention it gently: "What is this big deal? Compared to the things he did in the northwest before..."
"Well? What did the queen mother say just now? She said he was crazy about gaining and losing his heart?" Li Chengqian said with a clear voice, "Yes, she dispatched troops without authorization to easily challenge the war between the two countries; kidnapped the princess of other countries, which would insult the military style of the Tang Dynasty. If you pursue it, any one of them is enough to lose his head. She crazy about losing his heart? Oh, this is a good excuse. But can he believe the father?"
Because the grudge between him and Liu has been revealed, Li Chengqian no longer has too much concern about someone like Gongsun Helan who has a close relationship with Liu, and he has no doubts about his likes and dislikes.
"Why can't you believe it?" After looking at his son who was a little gloating, Empress Changsun sighed and shook her head slightly, saying, "In fact, your father not only believed it, but also used this to relieve Gongsun Helan of all the crimes before, so that he could rest at home and take peace of mind. She also specially sent an imperial physician to diagnose him at General Gongsun's mansion."
"How could it be?!" Li Chengqian said softly in surprise: "My father has always been wise and discerning right and wrong. How could he not see the bitter meat and tricks played by Gongsun and Ye Er?"
"Well, no, no, he can't see it," as if he had guessed something, Li Chengqian frowned slightly and murmured softly in his mouth: "But since he saw it but didn't point it out, it was deliberately indulging and acquiescent. What is the purpose of the father doing this? All of them..."
He suddenly looked up at Empress Changsun, and Li Chengqian asked in a low voice with some uncertainty: "Can you be so, is it that my father wants to use troops against Gaochang?"
If that is the case, then Gongsun Helan's luck would be too good, right? The change of sin into merit was just a tickling of the itch of the father's emperor, thinking about what his father thought and what he thought about. If all these were just a coincidence, it would be too terrible.
Unconsciously, Liu Yi's figure appeared in Li Chengqian's head. He always felt that the coincidences and luck that Gongsun Helan encountered should have a lot to do with this person, or that these things were already designed by him, and everything that happened afterwards was all within his expectations.
"Being able to guess this means that you are not too stupid yet. The prince has not been in vain for these years." After looking at Li Chengqian with satisfaction, Empress Changsun handed out another spoonful of ginseng soup and said warmly: "Your father has indeed thought of sending troops, but it is the end of the year and it is not appropriate to send troops, so at least you have to wait until the spring plowing begins. In other words, you still have at least three months to rest well."
"How can I explain this to my mother?" Li Chengqian turned his head in confusion and looked at Empress Changsun: "Is it possible that this expedition to Gaochang, the father and the emperor intend to let his son minister be the commander?"
"No, your father has not mentioned it," Shaking his head lightly, Queen Changsun said indifferently: "I asked you to go to Gaochang, which is the mother's intention. After three months, no matter whether your body is completely healed, you must take the initiative to ask for battle. Please allow your father to let you go with the army."
"Why?" Li Chengqian was still puzzled. I don't know why he always felt sorry for his mother. Why did he cruelly push himself to the battlefield this time?
"Because this is your last chance!" Seeing the bottom of the santhemum, Empress Changsun casually put the empty bowl back and said, "Because of the last assassination, your father was extremely disappointed with you. If it weren't for the sake of the royal face, he would have driven you out of the Eastern Palace and deposed the position of crown prince."
"Although this trip to Gaochang is dangerous, if it is done well, it will not be a huge contribution. It can change some of your father's wishes." Empress Changsun continued: "Also, Gaochang's national strength has always been weak, and it will not last long when fighting. Compared with other countries around the Tang Dynasty, it is not a hard bone. My son's military expedition can be considered a bit more insurance. As long as he is in charge of the army safely, all military affairs will obey the appointment of the commander, and he will definitely not encounter too many dangers."
