Chapter 41 Who is the person who recognizes the prince the most
Hibiscus Garden.
It is located on the south bank of Qujiang Lake, close to the outer city of Chang'an, covering an area of 30 hectares and a circumference of 17 miles.
The utmost in luxury and prosperity.
After Li Tai left Taiji Hall, he was not summoned. He also wanted to see Li Er, but was not allowed.
I'm feeling very upset.
He did not go to the Wude Hall and went straight back to his Hibiscus Garden. Only after returning to Hibiscus Garden did he feel much better.
But not for long.
My mood immediately hit rock bottom.
"Your Highness."
"It's bad. It's really bad."
Du Chuke, the Chief Clerk of the Prince of Wei's Palace, said anxiously.
"Your Highness, how can you speak so casually in Taiji Hall today?"
"Hey...hey."
Du Chuke was only the chief secretary of the Prince of Wei's palace. He didn't even have the qualifications to enter the Taiji Hall.
Just hearing what happened in the Taiji Hall made him extremely anxious and worried about the King of Wei's performance.
"Changshi, what happened?"
Li Tai was very panicked. The Chief Secretary had never been like this before.
Li Tai trusted and relied on Du Chuke very much.
He supported him in his bid for the throne and gave him many useful strategies to help him succeed.
Although Du Ruhui was dead, Du Chuke was still able to make use of the personal connections he left behind.
Before this, Du Chuke was always at ease and wise, and Li Tai regarded him as similar to Li Er's Du Ruhui.
His loss of composure today and his lack of his usual calmness made him realize the seriousness of the situation.
at this time.
Fang Yiai, Wei Ting and others hurried over, also looking uneasy.
"It's serious."
"When I arrived, the city of Chang'an was already discussing today's grand court meeting."
Wei Ting sighed and said, "Duke Zhao has become the focus of discussion in Chang'an City."
"It is true."
Du Chuke sighed, "I expected this situation to happen after the grand court meeting, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon."
"Your Highness, Your Highness, why did you speak so rashly in the court meeting?"
Li Tai didn't understand and said hesitantly: "I just want to beg for mercy..."
"What happened?"
"Your Highness, don't you understand yet?"
Du Chuke said, "The prince is causing trouble."
"The prince's actions today have completely established his status as the crown prince."
"If you want to sway him in the future, it will be useless even if Your Highness has His Majesty's favor."
"Unless the prince makes a mistake himself, something horrible."
"Otherwise, it would be impossible to depose the crown prince."
Li Tai didn't expect it to be so serious. When he thought about the prince's beautiful dream being gone without any reason, he said in panic, "How could this happen?"
"Just because of what I said?"
Wei Ting said worriedly, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince is using the etiquette of primogeniture to force everyone in the world to stand on his side."
"The righteousness, reputation, and power all depend on the prince."
"Even if Your Majesty doesn't like the Crown Prince, you are powerless and dare not make an enemy of the world's aristocratic families."
Li Tai finally understood what was wrong with him.
He was not the eldest son, but only the second son.
In front of the eldest son, as the second son, he cannot have the thoughts and actions of the eldest son.
"How dare he do this to force the world to do this?"
"Aren't you afraid that people all over the world will be disgusted?"
He stamped his feet and shouted angrily, and the ground seemed to shake a little as he stomped his feet.
"Are all the civil and military officials willing to be coerced by him? Are they willing to support him?"
"Resentment? Coercion?"
Du Chuke shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is in the right place, so he has to accept this action with a pinch of his nose."
"The people of the world do not support the crown prince, they support the system of primogeniture."
Li Tai cursed, "What difference does it make?"
"There is no difference, but this is where the prince's methods are so clever."
Du Chuke said solemnly: "Everyone knows what the prince is going to do, but no one has any reason to say that the prince is wrong." Li Tai said excitedly: "Of course not, that cripple repeatedly offended the majesty of the emperor in the Taiji Palace. As a son, this is unfilial, and as a subject, he is disloyal."
"Is there no one who said anything about this disloyal and unfilial behavior?"
It can be said that Li Tai, who understood the cause and effect, was furious and cursed: "So many capable and virtuous officials were frightened by a cripple."
Du Chuke and Wei Ting looked at each other, helpless.
You didn't even realize the truth until we told you. What's the point of getting anxious now?
Son of man?
The prince has already said that in formal occasions in the Taiji Hall, only the public can be present.
Your Majesty should call Li Chengqian the Crown Prince.
Minister?
The prince calls himself "Gu", which means he is the king.
You're talking about infidelity with the king, what a joke!
The prince has made his words very clear, and the road is completely blocked.
Who dares to jump out?
Does the King of Wei think that he is more clever than his ministers and Your Majesty?
"Are the people of the world so willing to support the prince?"
Fang Yiai asked.
Du Chuke and Wei Ting glanced at him.
Du Chuke said, "Attendant Fang can go back and ask Duke Liang and he will understand."
If this person wasn't the prime minister's second son.
He didn't want to say a word.
At this time, Wei Ting said, "Your Highness, you have been humiliated by the Crown Prince twice. Don't let it happen a third time."
There are no more than three things.
The prince scolded the King of Wei twice in front of all the ministers.
This has already made Li Tai lose face and become a laughing stock.
If it happens a third time, Li Tai’s authority as King of Wei will be completely gone.
"Speaking of this, I get angry."
"I am so angry that I am dying. The cripple insulted me, but my father did not speak up for me and seek justice."
"Father loves me the most."
Tired.
It’s really tiring.
Why doesn't the King of Wei understand? Your favor has long been objected by his ministers.
Asking you to study in a grand court meeting is a huge pressure.
How much further do you want Your Majesty to go?
Will I pass the throne to you directly?
Du Chuke naturally couldn't say such words.
"Your Highness, you have been in a bad situation recently. You should finish compiling the Comprehensive Geography first. Then you can please His Majesty."
"Okay, I understand."
Fatty Li was still mumbling, "I just feel unhappy..."
Everyone left.
Fang Yiai returned to the Fang Mansion, thinking about how to ask his father.
Unexpectedly, his father took the initiative to call him to the study.
"Yeah yeah!"
When Fang Yiai saw his elder brother Fang Yizhi was also there, he looked serious and hurriedly called out, "Brother."
"Where did you come back from?"
"Hibiscus Garden, where the King of Wei lives."
Just as Fang Xuanling expected.
He didn't want to interfere in the affairs of King Wei, but his son was on good terms with the King, so he had to be careful.
The prince did not shy away from him and asked him to do things, which made him caught between Taiji Palace and Donggong, making it difficult for him to get along.
"Father, I have something to ask you."
"What's the matter?" Fang Xuanling asked.
"My son heard from someone about the great court meeting. Will the people of the world be convinced by the prince's behavior?"
Fang Yiai asked.
"Erlang, do you know who is the person who recognizes the prince the most in the world now?"
Fang Xuanling didn't say anything, Fang Yizhi spoke.
"who?"
"I!"
Fang Yizheng said lightly.
