Chapter 384: If the hard is not good, then the soft
After Li Chengqian returned to the Eastern Palace, he was full of anger, but he could not get angry.
After thinking about it, he had no choice but to put down his figure and apologize to Li Zaigu.
A small impatience will cause trouble!
Li Chengqian still understands this principle.
Li Zaigu expressed his acceptance of Li Chengqian's apology and continued to stay in the East Palace as the position of Prince's Young Guardian.
Li Chengqian secretly summoned Li Yuanchang, Hou Junji, Du He and Zhao Jie to discuss the impeachment of Li Zaigu and was scolded by the emperor.
Everyone understands that if Li Zaigu continues to serve as the Prince's Young Guardian, it will definitely affect their conspiracy. However, the emperor obviously supports Li Zaigu and will not be able to move him at all.
"Your Highness, why not just click and find someone to kill Li Zaigu, and you will be able to finish it all!" Zhao Jie couldn't help but say carefully.
"The words of foolish son!" Li Yuanchang immediately rebuked, "You haven't reflected on the previous lesson? Don't say that we can't kill Li Zaigu, even if we can kill, we can't kill!"
"If you kill Li Zaigu now, it would be like there is no silver here! Even a three-year-old child will suspect it is related to Your Highness!" Li Yuanchang added.
"What the King of Han said is extremely true!" Du He echoed, "You must never confront Li Zaigu head-on!"
"I can't move Li Zaigu." Hou Junji also opposed Zhao Jie, "Now the priest protects Li Zaigu. If we move Li Zaigu, we will naturally offend the priest."
When Zhao Jie heard that everyone objected, he looked embarrassed.
"Yes, Li Zaigu cannot move, but if you keep him in the East Palace, you will sooner or later ruin our major events." Li Chengqian said thoughtfully.
Everyone nodded thoughtfully.
"If the impeachment fails this time, I have to find another way." Li Yuanchang thought for a while.
"Does the King of Han have great opinions?" Li Chengqian asked Li Yuanchang.
"I thought of a solution, but I don't know if it's feasible." Li Yuanchang said slowly.
"What can the King of Han do?" Li Chengqian said anxiously, "I'll say I'll listen to it, maybe it's possible."
The eyes of the others all fell on Li Yuanchang's face, all with expectations.
"Since we can't confront Li Zaigu head-on, we can do the opposite." Li Yuanchang coughed lightly and said slowly.
"Oh? Continue!" Li Chengqian asked even more.
"Your Highness reiterates his advice to the emperor, please give Li Zaigu a title." Li Yuanchang said.
"Want to be promoted to a higher position?" Li Chengqian became more and more confused as he heard it.
Others stared at Li Yuanchang without understanding.
"Your Highness has made a deep review to the emperor and understand that it was your highness who wanted Li Zaigu to dance swords to cheer up. In order to express his sincere apology to Li Zaigu, he made a special offer to the emperor. During the period when Li Zaigu became the crown prince's young security guard, he was loyal to his duties? He did not flatter his superiors because he was the crown prince? He was a rare good minister in the Tang Dynasty and deserved higher rewards." Li Yuanchang continued.
"Your Highness's move? Not only can you let the Lord look at His Highness at a different angle? You can also have the opportunity to transfer the Lord General Li Zaigu out of the Eastern Palace. If the Lord promoted Li Zaigu's title, there would be a great chance to transfer Li Zaigu out of the Eastern Palace."
Li Yuanchang is sometimes quite strange? From time to time, he will think of some special solutions.
He knew that using a tough one would definitely not work against Li Zaigu, so he came up with such a way.
Since it's hard? It's always OK to be soft.
Li Chengqian nodded slightly? It seems to agree with Li Yuanchang's suggestion.
"Retreat as advance is also a strategy." Du He thought about something.
Hou Junji pondered and did not express his opinion.
Zhao Jie's lips moved, as if he had something to say? But he still held back. He was worried that he would say the wrong thing again? Everyone was beaten and despised.
"Think about it carefully, maybe you can try what the King of Han said." Hou Junji spoke slowly.
"At that time, I can also make an offer to the emperor." Li Yuanchang said.
"The lower-ranking officials have always had friendship with Duke Zheng, and can lobby Duke Zheng and also make suggestions to the emperor. The emperor has always been willing to listen to Duke Zheng's advice. If Duke Zheng also came forward to the emperor to propose to promote Li Zaigu's title? The emperor should adopt it." Hou Junji continued.
"Okay, I will follow what you said!" Li Chengqian straightened his body? He said seriously with his face.
In order to transfer Li Zaigu away from the Eastern Palace, they couldn't take much care of it.
As long as Li Zaigu can be transferred from the Eastern Palace? It doesn’t matter if he gets promoted to the position.
Anyway, after Li Chengqian obtained the throne in the future, he could depose his title and his official position at any time.
Li Zaigu never expected that these people who hate him would actually give Li Er a message for him? He was promoted to him.
Li Zaigu really won this time just by lying down.
Two days later, Li Chengqian indeed reported to Li Er and promoted Li Zaigu to the title.
Li Er felt strange. Li Chengqian impeached Li Zaigu a few days ago, but he hoped to promote Li Zaigu a few days later.
Li Er couldn't help but doubt Li Chengqian's move, believing that he had other purposes.
Li Chengqian also guessed that Li Er would suspect him, so he said to Li Er what Li Yuanchang taught him.
In front of Li Er, Li Chengqian kept saying that it was a profound review, deeply aware of his mistakes, and felt very sorry for Li Zaigu. After Li Zaigu took over as the young guard of the crown prince, he was conscientious and did not fear the powerful. He was a rare loyal minister and general in the Tang Dynasty and deserved the reward of the court.
If this happens, it not only shows that his apology to Li Zaigu is sincere, but also shows that the court encourages more loyal ministers and generals who are not afraid of power.
After listening to Li Chengqian's explanation, Li Er believed that Li Chengqian sincerely hoped that Li Zaigu would be promoted.
After Li Chengqian initiated the report, Li Yuanchang and others expressed their support.
Not only that, Wei Zheng also initiated a report, hoping that the court would reward Li Zaigu.
Wei Zheng used himself as an example and said that in order to win the truth, he violated Longyan many times, but the emperor did not blame him, but instead rewarded him.
It is inappropriate for the crown prince to humiliate the second-rank minister, but Li Zaigu was not afraid of the powerful and maintained his dignity as a minister and deserved praise.
Wei Zheng's words were followed by many ministers.
Some of the ministers who discussed the matter did not really help Li Zaigu, but for their own interests.
As ministers, they naturally did not want Li Zaigu to be humiliated to happen to them.
If Li Zaigu was humiliated by the prince this time, it would be like a precedent for the Tang Dynasty. In the future, the prince would be able to humiliate the ministers at will. On the contrary, if the emperor would be rewarded for Li Zaigu's courage to disobey the prince's humiliation, other ministers would not be afraid of being humiliated by the prince in the future.
Ministers of the Eastern Palace such as Li Chengqian and Li Yuanchang did not expect that so many ministers would approve of them, which surprised them.
They originally hoped that this would allow the priest to be promoted to Li Zaigu and would transfer Li Zaigu away from the Eastern Palace, but they did not expect that other ministers would use this matter to protect their own interests.
As for Li Zaigu, he was also surprised.
Of course, his surprise was not like Li Chengqian and others.
Although Li Zaigu was surprised, he always felt that Li Chengqian and others had bad intentions in their actions.
